Chapter 131 124: L Am Eugene Hall!

Dawn had cuddled up next to me as the two of us laid in bed after cleaning ourselves up. She rested her head next to my shoulder while holding my hands.

"I totally forgot, but what happened to the fairy?" she asked.

"Well, surely, the act of mating between to lesser beings must be nothing to a great fairy."

"I am angel though?"

I turned toward the wall and my eyes widened. Plastered over the wall was a trail of fairy-magic manipulated into words.

[Too erotic, I am out. Summon me when you're done.]

A chuckle left me and I informed Dawn of the writings.

"Shouldn't you call her? She'll think we're still going at it."

"Even better, I'll summon her in the morning."

Dawn smiled and wrapped her arm over me. Her hand moved toward my right hand, around the part missing a finger. She seemed to want to say something, but I firmly shook my head.

It wasn't her fault at all, even thinking like that was stupid. I got caught in front of an enemy I couldn't beat, and I cut off my own finger.

That said, I was more than certain I could take down a similar enemy with a single punch, there were a lot of monsters of that level of strength mobbing around the 300th floors.

Kaiser managed to stop such a punch with just a finger. Even for pure physical ability, it was absurd. He must have either redirected the energy from my attack or stopped me from a weak point. But to analyze such a thing, even the absolute analysis monster that I knew as Yujin, Albert, couldn't have done something like that.

"What are you thinking?" Dawn asked.

"I have to get stronger—Ow!"

"Bastard, so you're planning to run away again!?" Dawn playfully smacked my arm before cuddling up next to me again.

Something was probably on her mind too.

"Is it about that person you mentioned?" I asked. Someone that all the regressors are out to kill. If an angel said they were kind people, then that was likely the case, so the person they were up against was likely absolute scum.

"Yeah, I have never met him, but the way their gazes turns absolutely murderous at just the mention of his name. They were all kind enough to accept many people and went out of their way to help others, I met them similarly. That person they are out to kill... I don't a lot."

"What is he like?" If such a villain was around, I'd have another thing to trample. I can't wreck Kaiser since we are close... but I'd love to beat someone else to a pulp.

I controlled my expression before my smile could turn twisted and gazed at Dawn resting in my arms.

"I only overheard some stuff and was directly told some others. Sexual assault is just the beginning, he would try to sadistically torture most girls in school. He apparently beat up a maid for talking back to him for three days."

"School?"

"Yeah, he's the same age as them. They'll all be going to the kingdom of sages next year."

That was the same age as me too. How interesting.

"He made a deal with a devil and caused deaths of millions. It's crazy. I am sure even other angels will agree that such a person should be cut down."

"What is the identity of this person?" I asked, now more curious.

"It's a noble man from Schwarz Kingdom. I don't think you would know—"

"I am a noble from Schwarz Kingdom too, I am sure I'll know this person."

Such an evil being should definitely be cut down when he grows strong. And I do not say this to enjoy a fight, not at all. I only had the betterment of the world in my mind and heart, promise.

"It's a person named Eugene... Eugene Hall..."

"Eugene Hall... Huh. Even the name sounds stupid, what kind of name is Hall—"

I froze midway.

"Right Dusk? If I meet this person I might just kill him myself..." Dawn looked up when I stopped speaking. "What?"

"That's my name."

"What?"

"I... am Eugene Hall..."

What in the fuck was going on here?

Dawn was left with an open mouth as she stared at me.

What the fuck was this, a fucking game?

Oh damn.

Yes.

It was a fucking game.

***

A stressful night came to an end. Dawn understood that I was not the old Eugene Hall but a mixture of two personalities, with one clearly being more defined than the other. The mood was still awkward between us, though, so we eased it out by having sex a couple dozen more times all through the morning. We made some plans to keep myself in check around demons and secured a communication method since she was close to people out for my blood.

She left first and I stepped out of the hotel after her.

We barely had any control over the situation, but we still had time. Those guys were not as strong as me, so if it came down to it, I could just chop their heads off.

To think I was excited to fight myself.

I sighed and was about to leave the hotel when a woman in a suit stopped me.

"Excuse me, sir," she said. I frowned and looked at her.

"What is it?"

"Did you have a pleasurable stay last night in our establishment?"

"It was alright. What is this about?"

The woman smiled and reached into her pocket. She handed me a card with the words VIP marked on it.

My gaze turned toward the emblem of the establishment. A full moon. Then, I turned my gaze toward the woman's armband which also held a moon. I hadn't seen these marks anywhere else in the establishment.

"I hope you can consider making some time in a few days, sir," The woman said. "The Hotel's Director would be here and would love to meet you."

Now.

What the fuck was this about.

Was this related to the people out to kill me? I had a few other theories as well, but for now I had no answers.

"I'll consider it," I said and walked out. The woman bowed and stayed that way until I was out of sight.

Not much happened after that.

I commissioned a few intelligence agencies that I deemed safe for the information we needed. I then moved to the guild house only to find the receptionist still busy and we postponed our dinner plans.

The day ended uneventfully, and the time for the start of my job came around.

Outside the second district reserved for the top-ranked nobles, I met with two other Orichalcum-ranked adventurers assigned to the same place.

Temporal Sword, and the Sorcerer of the Swamps.

"Dusk. You're here."

"Tempo, been a bit."

I shook hands with Tempo and bowed toward the sorcerer, we had become closely acquainted during the drinking party.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get any information on the duchess in time.

"Did you guys here what the noble lady is like?" I asked the two as we headed toward our destination.

"That... I hear she is the most damning witch of the century."

"People around frequently call her, the devil of Atreus."
