Chapter #10: [BLACK ZODIAC]

I must say, the Kazuto Family really has some connection, judging by their impressive amounts of guests. Today's occasion seemed to be a celebration of the 'Union', an organization that was created to unite and protect not just the households, but also normal humans. Funnily, the Ancient Gods they followed are CulturedOjiisan, Plotter, and CheckYourInventory.

There's Kazuto Hiro, Heir of the Kazuto Clan. A genius who's born once within a century, and the guy who wields the Blade of the Tyrant. Nahh... Who're you kiddin'. Genius? The guy's so dense, a rock would be much better in finding out whether a girl's in love with him or not. He doesn't notice anything strange on their behavior, even though his arms are buried with mountains of pliable pleasure that other guys wouldn't mind climbing.

"Hiro-kun~ If you're tired, then we should go to my room. I'll nurse you back to health~", The Class President, Emilia, whispered seductively to Hiro, though it was still loud enough for all of us to hear, all while burying his arm on her impressive assets.

I lightly frowned at the sight, and the girls looked like they wanted to tear her to pieces. In response, she just sent them a cocky smirk, and as for the other boys... Well, they really couldn't do anything about it.

"I'm alright, Emilia-sama. It's a gathering organized by my family, and other Union members would be here soon", Hiro replied with a glowing smile, which seemed to have great effect on the girl, ducking her face as it turned slightly red. Damn bastard...

Meanwhile, I'm standing at the side where there's only a few people, drinking my wine and minding my business. They're all glancing at me curiously, I guess that's because I'm new here. From what it seems, they all look like they belong to the Kazuto Clan, with only a few belonging to other Clans here and there.

"Oh my! You must be Hori Kaede, right?", A gentleman suddenly approached me, making me blink in surprise. He was white, I mean really white. From his hat, suit, pants, and even shoes, all of them are white. What a strange guy.

"Yes... I'm Hori Kaede.", I replied, slightly bowing at him in respect despite his odd attire.

"Ohhh~ So you're really the one with Plotter's Discernment...", He said in what appeared to be amazement. Like time, news sure do fly quick.

"Yes, I do have it."

I know how Schemer's Blessing worked. The Plotter's Discernment negates any stealth magic if honed enough, and allows it's user to feel the emotions, intentions, as well as the presence of others. It's also capable of deciphering runes and information not known by it's wielder, as well as boosting their mind. Schemer even said the possibility of seeing a bit of the future if one could take it to an extreme level of mastery, which I honestly wouldn't mind.

"Yeah... Anyways, that skill is obtained by people who possess high luck and intellect. Looks like you're more lucky and intelligent than Hiro after all.", He grinned at me.

Huh? Looks like there's many fortunate and smart individuals who also possess this skill. Despite that info appearing as useless, it would help me in the future to know that other people is also capable of obtaining this skill.

While it's true that I'm smarter than Hiro, what do you mean about my luck being stronger than his?! Can't you see?! The guy's surrounded by a bunch of girls who wants his D.

Well, whether you're lucky is determined by individual viewing after all. While these guys has to worship the 'Ancient Gods' in order to receive their blessings, I only need to chat these guys and they'll give me one. Also, I have seen many protagonists being bullied by their harems.

"B-BAKA!", Kurumi, who's face was glowing red, slapped Hiro's face and ran away.
