Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 124: Soulmate (1)

'Huh. This is comfier than I thought.'

My treatment had been quite comfortable if you think about the fact that I was considered the killer of one of Yamato guild's members.

The place where I was lying on was a comfortable bed, not a hard floor, and the quality of the food served was excellent.

I had been worried about eating the same type of food as lowly criminals.

Seeing how I was being treated, I had no choice but to admit that both Cha Hee-ra and Yuno Kasugano were a stronger influence than I thought.

If I had just been a lowly countryman, I would've been hung straightaway. However, my position as the Mercenary Queen's lover and the shaman's client imposed a certain influence.

I like having power because of this.'

It was safe to assume that I was safe.

Of course, it was unlikely that my neck would be hanged just by my position. It would not be a pleasant story for those who want the empire's power cut off if they were to be oppressed by both the mercenary queen and the shaman.

It was more important to protect me, than to blame me for the death of a common member of the Yamato guild.

What I needed to know was what that bastard Ito Souta would do.

The intensity of the punishment I would receive would probably be determined by how much he talks, but the conclusion was that I at least didn't have to worry about being in a real mess.

My only problem at this point was being at a disadvantage in terms of diplomacy. My issue certainly was controversial at every angle.

After I ate, Cha Hee-ra appeared before me. Strangely enough, the woman looked unwell.

"Honestly, I feel good."

"Huh?"

"It's not you who's screwed, it's that bastard."

"I thought I'd be scolded. I'm actually surprised."

"Of course, it's not that I'm not feeling bad. It's bad enough that my plan has been ruined, and I feel even worse knowing you got humiliated after going up to the shaman's room without informing me. You know I secretly value appearances. Nevertheless, you managed to kill a guild member of theirs. And in an audacious manner, too..."

"Thank you for that..."

"What is your relationship with the shaman?"

"I never imagined that a woman who would stand by the Yamato Guild would vouch for my honey in the end. You weren't pulling strings behind my back, right? If so, I'd feel a little sad."

"You are free to believe it or not, but the other day was really the first time that I met this shaman."

"You know that if you lie to me, the things that'll happen after won't be sweet, right?"

"Why would I lie to you? Remember when I first met Yuno Kasugano, she saw me and cried?"

"Of course."

"She can see the future."

"What nons-"

"Of course, she can't see what she wants, and even if she sees something, it's only a fragment. However, she can certainly see the future."

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"I checked it myself. In fact, if you give it a little thought, you have the answer. How can a 16-year-old girl build a large guild in 4 years without that kind of ability? I kind of know why she's obsessed with me. I will get connected to this girl in the future."
