Whitebolt picked up the white paper. There was a black cross on it.
-Is this it? – Thought Whitebolt – This is a Pure Seal?
He picked it up and went up the stairs. Maids were nervously waiting for him.
-Whitebolt-sama, are you okay?
-You look pale, want me to get you some water?
-I'm fine. – Answered Whitebolt – I just haven't eaten anything.
-We will quickly make the tastiest lunch for you!
-That will be great. - Whitebolt smiled.
The maids left. Whitebolt started observing the seal.
-There's nothing written on it. There's no magic circle, is this even real? I should take it to Harumi before using it on Rekka.
Even thought he was hungry, he still walked to the adventurer's guild. He went to the receptionist table.
-Whitebolt-san! Are you okay? – Harumi stood on her toes and laid her hand on his face – You seem pale! Come with me.
Harumi took him to the staff room and they sat down. She gave Whitebolt something to drink.
-What happened?
Whitebolt put down the drink. He took out the seal out of his pocket and dropped it on the table.
-This happened. Someone gave me a Pure Seal.
Harumi took the seal.
-This... Isn't a Pure Seal. – She said. She started to get Worried.
-What is it then?
-This... This... How did you get it? – Harumi started shaking.
-I said someone gave it to me. – Whitebolt got annoyed and confused.
-No way... This is the... Holy Angel Seal... - She quickly threw it on the table.
-The Holy Angel Seal?
-Y-yes... This is the... - She nervously gulped – T-the strongest holy seal yet to be found...
Whitebolt leaned forward.
-If you sell this... You will become one of the richest person in the whole continent. The rarity, there is only one of it. I was found on stage 30 of the... The power it h-holds...
-How strong is it!?
-It has... LVL 50 holy magic in it.
-LVL 50!? – Whitebolt was dumbfounded – I'm stuck on LVL 12 electric magic for nearly a year! – He thought.
Harumi stood up and put her hands on the table.
-Who gave this to you! WHO! – She was starting to get scared.
-Calm down! – Whitebolt stood up too and put his hands on Harumis shoulders. – Calm down. I will explain what happened.
-O-okay... - She started to get the sense of things and sat down.
Whitebolt told about his encounter with Duster and Maya.
-You're lying.
-I'm telling the truth. – Said Whitebolt – Can I use this seal on Rekka?
-I don't know – Answered Harumi in a frail tone. She couldn't process what was happening.
She closed her eyes. When she opened them, she saw unknown man, sitting next to Whitebolt with a thinking pose. Harumi screamed out of fear. Whitebolt looked around and saw Duster right in front of him.
-Hello friend! – Duster waved his hand and smiled.
-YOU! What are you doing here? – Whitebolt jumped away.
Harumi started to get nauseous from his aura.
-Of sorry, my bad! – Said Duster and put his hand behind his neck, smiling.
-The presence is gone. – Thought Whitebolt.
Suddenly, someone barged into the staff room. It was an adventurer.
-I felt a strong aura! Who is here! – The adventurer looked around and only saw Whitebolt and Harumi – Oh, it might've been you Whitebolt, sorry to barge in.
The staff room wasn't big. There was a food table, board games, water dispenser and a shelf with books.
The adventurer left and closed the door.
Whitebolt got confused and looked at the couch. Duster was gone.
-Anyway, I came here for a reason. – He was leaning on Whitebolts shoulder.
Harumi was terrified and started to tear up. She was 19, a year younger than Whitebolt.
-Calm down miss! I didn't mean to scare you. Don't worry I'll stop. – He was moving in a goofy way.
-What do you need! – Shouted Whitebolt.
Duster looked at him with dead eyes and a menacing smile.
-Don't talk down on me... Anyways! – He regained his energy – If you wonder if you can use the seal on Rekka, you can! It's totally harmless to humans.
-How do you know exactly? – Said Whitebolt. His voice started to shake after that death look.
Duster stared at him again.
-I know what I'm saying. Now, I must take my goodbye! See you later my friend! – He waved his hand and disappeared in thin air.
Whitebolt rushed over to Harumi. She was petrified.
-Harumi! Are you okay? Answer me!
-I, I. – She couldn't speak out of fear – I think I'm okay.
-Thank god! I thought you would get sick from his monstrous presence.
Harumi smiled. She was happy about the fact that Whitebolt was worried about her.
-Thanks for looking after me, Ken-chan. – She giggled.
-I said to you to not call me by that name. – He wasn't angry. He made a kind smile.
They sat down and talked for a while.
-We haven't had a conversation like this in a such a long time. – Harumis face got red.
-Yeah, come visit my mansion once in a while.
-I will try! This job is taking too much of my time! – She pouted.
-Why not quit? I can support you in every way.
Harumi stood up and put his finger on Whitebolts nose.
-Because I want to be someone you can depend on. – She cutely giggled.
Whitebolt didn't even flinch.
-You are always like this, Haru. I guess I will leave. I haven't eaten anything today.
Whitebolt said goodbye and left. He started heading towards the mansion with the seal in his pocket.
-Haru, I wish I could bring the time back, where we played together as kids. – He looked up in the sky. A cold breeze hit him. He smiled and continued his way.
