Respawn

Chapter 45: Ring

"We'll leave right now. We are delighted to see everyone here. I have one more thing to say. Whoever chooses Takahashi as their adversary will be considered the moderator and creator's adversary "He stated. They are about to leave when he approaches Takahashi. "Keep yourself safe and take good care of yourself and your wife. I know you're confused right now, but I don't have time to explain; don't worry, you'll understand soon. I miss you and my mother so much. I am relieved that you have returned. I hope to see you again soon. Tell your wife that I am always safe and that I continue to do the things she always tells me to do "He stated.

Takahashi’s POV

My entire body hurts, yet I still lack the energy to move. I'd be dead right now if these people hadn't shown up. I'm not sure what would have happened if they hadn't come to rescue us. They are formidable, and I can't believe that the creator, Vertxander, will be present on the day of my execution. It's even stranger that he came to save me. But it is when he refers to me as his father that I am both surprised and perplexed. He doesn't appear to like fabricating stories and deceiving others. He appears serious, and when he refers to me as father, he means it. It's my first time seeing him, and I've heard that seeing him is extremely rare. I still want to apologize to him for what Yuu said.

They're about to go. I don't have the strength to follow them down and have a conversation with them. I've got a lot of questions for him that I'd like to get answers to. He could be the key to discovering who I truly am. I no longer have anything to hide. Everyone can see how I really look. They now know I have large horns and eyes of a peculiar tint. I just stayed where I was sitting. "We'll leave right now. We are delighted to see everyone here. I have one more thing to say. Whoever chooses Takahashi as their adversary will be considered the moderator and creator's adversary, "he stated. They were probably preoccupied, and they only came to save me. Is it really necessary for me to disrupt their schedule and drive them here? I believe I'm asking too much after they've already saved me, but I still want to ask him questions. Vertxander approaches me, which surprises me.

"Keep yourself safe and take good care of yourself and your wife. I know you're confused right now, but I don't have time to explain. Don't worry, you'll understand soon. I miss you and my mother so much. I am relieved that you have returned. I hope to see you again soon. Tell your wife that I am always safe and that I continue to do the things she always tells me to do, "he stated. How did he come to know about my wife? Does she know who she is? They didn't appear to be friends, and I assumed Tori didn't know anyone else in the world. Tori didn't tell me anything about him. Tori is a newcomer to this world, having only been here for a month, and the two of them cannot possibly know each other.

He assured me that I would soon grasp the situation. Right now, everything is like a puzzle that is difficult to connect and understand. He said, pointing his finger at the guard, "Please assist Takahashi and his friends on their way home. Please ensure that they are safe and will not be harmed when they return home. Whoever harms them will be confronted by the moderator ".. He is overly protective of us. He didn't need to be overly protective of us because we'd be fine. The guards approached us and assisted us with standing and walking. They teleport and vanish right in front of our eyes. I still owe him gratitude for what he did for us. I wish I could see him again and explain everything that is going on.

The soldiers take us for a ride in their specially designed vehicle. Yuu appears to be exhausted and badly injured, in comparison to Saki. Saki is holding my hand. "What are you up to?" I inquired. She placed a ring on my finger. My horns began to fade, and I believe my eyes returned to their normal color. "You still have to wear it," she said. I tried to remove my hand, but she was gripping it too tightly. "That ring isn't necessary for me to wear. People are already aware of my true appearance. You should return it and keep it to yourself. Maybe you'll need it in the future," I stated. She was still adamant about not removing it. "Keep it and always wear it, not to conceal your identity, but because it is my only gift to you."
