The Extra's Return

28 Ghost Face's True Identity

"Didn't I already give you money? Why don't you want to go? Do I have to force you?"

Baron Warwick's anger grew even more. Because he was too angry, hot steam seemed to come out from above his head.

'How do I touch him when he's so mad at me?'

According to the World System notice, I have to touch him directly if I want a more specific identification.

Even though it looks easy, it is a difficult thing.

However, I have to do it even if it's a difficult thing.

"W-What are you doing?"

A cry of anger mixed with confusion escaped Baron Warwick's mouth. But I ignored it.

I put my hand on my head as if I suddenly felt dizzy. I walked up to him in a staggered manner. As soon as I felt our distance was close enough, I plopped down on his office desk.

He seemed to be looking at me strangely. He was about to back away, but I managed to grab his hand in an instant.

Please don't imagine a romantic scene when you see me holding his hand.

Although it was a little disgusting when I felt his wrinkled hands, I ignored the feeling and focused on staring at the system message that appeared in front of me.

"..."

Finally, Baron Warwick's scream ended my focus on the system message.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"Tch!"

I ended up being kicked out of his room for acting weird.

With the slight awkwardness I felt, I wiped my ass and stood up.

"Well. All right. I'll go."

"You'd better never mention that you're a member of the Warwick noble family again."

He left such words after kicking me out of his room.

Before I actually left, my head twisted back. I saw Baron Warwick. Surprisingly, he looked pensive as he walked to his chair.

As soon as he sat down in his chair, he made an expression like most old men, as if he had regained his composure.

The expression of anger, which had previously overflowed as if spilling over into his mind, had now completely disappeared without being seen.

With that, the evidence was clear.

***

Without doing much preparation, I immediately left the mansion. Spurring my footsteps, I ran quite fast.

When I run like this, I can cover several kilometers in a few hours. Moreover, what I felt yesterday was not just my feelings. It turned out that my body actually became very light. That's because my body has undergone Body Reconstruction.

Without the horse carriage, I wouldn't have a problem if it was just running around the city.

Passing through the noble housing complex, I continued to run along the main road. While running, I started thinking about my meeting with Baron Warwick.

When I think about it, wasn't it in the end, I had to leave this family in the same way as in my previous life, being kicked out by Baron Warwick.

However, in contrast to my previous life, which was kicked out without any capital, right now, I am holding a lot of cards in my hand.

While glancing in the direction of the Warwick noble family's mansion, I started to think about a few things. More specifically, it was about the demonic Mana that I detected from Baron Warwick's body.

"I had no idea that Baron Warwick had been under the influence of Mind Control Magic all this time."

My hand grabbed my chin and my head started to think about the system message that popped up after I held Baron Warwick's hand.

[Mind control type magic detected!]

That was what was said in the system message, which appeared when I held Baron Warwick's hand.

Although the World System does not say exactly what magic spell is controlling Baron Warwick, the mere information that Baron Warwick is under the influence of Magic is enough to explain things.

Moreover, looking at the demonic Mana that appeared on Baron Warwick's body, it was certain that the magic controlling Baron Warwick had a connection with the demon.

Or, was the person who cast magic and cast it on Baron Warwick a demon? Nope!! There's no way that would happen!

I shook my head to stop thinking about the origin or mastermind that put magic control on Baron Warwick.

'I think there are still many mysteries in this family.'

With magic controlling Baron Warwick's mind, everything he did now made more sense.

However, seeing Baron Warwick's unstable emotions, it indicates that Baron Warwick has not been fully affected.

In severe cases, someone who was hit by that magic spell would be unable to do anything without an order from the caster or spellcaster.

So, seeing that Baron Warwick can still carry out normal activities without looking like a robot, I don't think he's completely under the control of mind-controlling magic yet.

"!!"

I suddenly remembered that Thalia also had a strange behavior when I met her before, and then, is she also under the influence of mind control type magic?

Let's think about that later.

Someday, after I've done all my business in a few places, I'll come back and reveal everything.

I still remember some clues from my previous life that I could exploit. However, that can still wait for later.

"Hmm?"

Although I was still on my way, I suddenly stopped my footsteps.

My eyes wandered around until they finally stopped on the roof of a house.

My feet immediately kicked the ground until the dust billowed, swirled, and disappeared again.

My face hit the wind even harder as the speed of my jumping body reached its peak. Until finally, my body reached the top of the house.

After jumping from the bottom to the roof of a house, I stared at an empty space in front of me.

At first, it was nothing, however, not long after, a figure wearing a black robe suddenly appeared, as if she had come from the void.

Her appearance is still the same. She wore a cloak that covered her head to hide her face.

Yes, she is Ghost Face.

I stopped halfway because I had the experience of accidentally using the Hear of Everything Skill.

I felt that she had been waiting for me here for some reason.

"Ahahaha. I knew you would find me."

Clap! Clap! Clap!

She clapped as if she was happy for some reason.

Not a hint of contempt or hostility came out of her mouth.

She just looked like a kid who liked to play around.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Hehe~ nothing special. I just wanted to tell you a few things. Did you know that your step-sister is going to Milestone Academy?"

"Well, I know that. And then?"

"Shouldn't you be thanking me? Because your step-sister was able to get in there thanks to the recommendation letter that I gave!"

She said that while walking in a straight line as if she was keeping her balance on this roof. After that, she just sat down. While sitting down, she puffed out her half-baked chest.

"What is your identity to make such a recommendation letter?"

"Fwehehe~ Wait and see!"

After saying that in a cheerful tone, she lowered the hood that covered her head. As the hood covering her head fell and plunged downwards, her black hair was exposed. Her hair was just shoulder-length, but it suited her face perfectly.

And it turns out that she is indeed a woman. Judging from everything I saw from her appearance, I guessed she was the same age as Clarista, maybe around twenty.

Something that stood out about her, might be her pretty facial features.

Her face is so pretty... No, it's more cute than pretty. However, it wasn't her beauty that surprised me. It's something that appeared above her head. It was something that an ordinary human would not possess.

What was above her head was an ear that a cat would normally have, however, unlike the ears of a small cat, hers was bigger. There are fine hairs on her ears that beautify her appearance.

Unmistakably, her appearance symbolized that she was a beastmen. Perhaps, if I took off her cloak, I would be able to see her tail swinging in the air.

Beastmen was one of the most populous races on the Averus Continent. But they live in their own territory. Even so, there will be some beastmen going outside.

Generally, there wouldn't be many beastman races in the Misonia Kingdom. Especially in this small and remote place like Ryam City. Maybe she is the only beastman in this town

"Ahaha, seeing your face, you must be surprised by my identity, right."

Her eyes traced my gaze so she noticed that I kept staring into her ear. While she spoke, her head tilted to the side and her finger touched her chin.

"Can you explain the reason why you told me about your identity?"

"Well, this also relates to the reason why I came to this city. Actually, I am an emissary sent by the Varmint Association."

"??!?!"

A question mark and an exclamation point appeared simultaneously above my head.
