An Extra’s POV

Rey sat on his bed in silence, his gaze directed at the floating Ater who sat in midair.

He hadn't forgotten that his Familiar could do that, but something about seeing him get so comfortable in the air seemed bizarre every single time.

Still, other than a slight smile of amusement, he didn't display any other emotion. His exposed eye simply stared blankly as he made himself comfortable on the luxurious bed that Ater had prepared for him.

'It's just like Esme's bed. How did he know that I prefer this…?'

Right now, Rey was in a black long-sleeve shirt, with dark trousers covering most of his legs. He was barefoot, though, so his feet and hands were exposed as he sat and waited patiently.

"So… you can start now."

Rey had prepared his heart. He made sure to remain calm no matter what news he heard, though he already knew it would be impossible for him to fully suppress everything.

'I just need to try my best to calmly analyze everything I he—'

"Alicia is currently under a coma. She hasn't been able to wake up since she fell asleep due to the Curse."

"Curse?" Rey raised an eyebrow. "Alicia also went into a deep sleep?"

Was it because of her use of the [Divine Beast Summon] Skill? She didn't have enough Mana to pull off summoning an entity like the one that emerged back then.

'That means…'

"She used The Unknown Box that I gave Adonis. As a result, the after-effect of using such an Item—a random curse—befell her."

"A curse? There was a curse attached to it? I didn't see it when I used my Appraisal on the Item, though…" Rey was trying his best not to let his feelings of worry and anxiety overflow.

Of course, he was very concerned about Alicia. If this was indeed a curse, and she had been asleep for so long, then her current condition was beyond worrying.

He was even feeling hints of fright.
