The Author's POV

Chapter 539

Clank. Clank.

During the slow opening of the air train doors, a sweet voice lingered in the air.

[You have arrived at the station]

"We're here, let's go."

"Okay."

Standing up, Edward was the first one to head out of the train. Similarly standing up, I glanced at Liam who was sitting on the seat beside me.

"Are you going to be fine by yourself?"

"No problem."

My eyes squinted.

He nodded.

"...You sure?"

"Positive."

"Alright then."

With a casual shrug of my shoulders, I showed him my phone.

"In case you forget where you're supposed to be, you can still call my number. Well, that is of course unless you also forget that, in which case I won't be able to help you at all."

"I should be fine."

"If you say so."

Finishing my drink and putting it down on the table, I bid farewell to Liam and left the train.

"Alright, see you."

"Goodbye."

Beep. Beep.

Moments after I got off the train, I heard beeping sounds come from the train and the doors closed. A short time later, the train sped away.

It was then that Edward moved next to me and asked.

"Have any idea where he's going?"

"No clue at all. He just said that he had some stuff to do."

Right before we left the demon realm, I had proposed to him to join my mercenary group. On a good note, he accepted my offer, and we were soon going to meet each other again.

On a bad note, he said that he was only going to be a member in name, meaning that he would help whenever he was free.

Apparently, he didn't like being chained down by organizations as that was too boring for him.

I tried to convince him otherwise, but he didn't seem to budge and I eventually had to step back and accept his terms.

It was better than nothing.

"I guess I better get going now."

Jolting me out of my thoughts was Edward's voice. Turning around, I placed my hand over his shoulder.

"Where are you going?"

"...To my guild and meet my daughter?"

"Nope."

"Hm?"

Edward looked at me with a confused look.

Taking a closer look at him, I shook my head.

"Not like this you are."

"Ah..."

It wasn't until Edward felt my gaze that he realized what was wrong. It was the fact that he was dressed as a hobo at the moment.

While he was in the arena, his clothes were in good condition, but after being trapped in a prison for a few days, he grew a rough beard and he smelled. Additionally, his clothes showed signs of tearing due to the demon's treatment.

He was just unpresentable.

"It would be best if we got you something to change in before you meet your daughter."

'...and your wife as well.'

But I wasn't going to tell him this. Wanted to create a surprise for the two of them.
