Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 35 Rio-Professional Thief (Stealing Session)

”S-Stop talking nonsense, father! And say why have you summoned me already!?” (Lia)

”…” (James)

”Wh-what!? Why are you making a face as if you are about to cry!?” (Lia)

”It has been so long since you called me father!! How can I not cry!?” (James)

”Wh-wha… I didnʼt say anything! You are just imagining stuff!” (Lia)

Remembering about the photo his subordinate gave him earlier, James was feeling a bit happy in his heart. He was able to see his daughter laughing after so long in that photo and today Lia even called him ʼfatherʼ. All because of that boy:

”Sigh~, in the end, should I accept him as my son-in-law…..” (James)

After hearing this Liaʼs face immediately became red:

”Wha-wha-what the heck are you talking about!? Who would marry that stinky guy! Not to mention he is a training maniac and is so untalkative!” (Lia)

”Oh! What a coincidence!? Arenʼt you two rather similar then!? Could it be a match made in heave-” (James)

Lia blushed even more and her face became as red as a tomato:

”Oh! come on! I am leaving!” (Lia)

”Okay, okay wait! I will talk about the main thing now, stop!” (James)

Hearing him say that he will stop talking nonsense Lia reluctantly stopped from running away:

”Th-then say it already, I have to train, humph” (Lia)

ʼShe resembles her mother so much when she gets angry, sigh~ʼ (James)

James shook his head and decided to get serious now:

”So, the main thing that I wanted to say is” (James)

”hmm?” (Lia)

”Bring that boy Rio with you this weekend to meet me, I have to talk to him about something” (James)

”Wha, why would I bring him though!?” (Lia)

”Just do as I say” (James)

”But-” (Lia)

”No Excuses, just bring him here, otherwise I will go myself” (James)

”O-okay, but why do you want to meet him?” (Lia)

”I have to fulfil the promise which I did to an old friend of mine” (James)

Lia got confused but, in the end, she agreed to this brazen request, and left for her own room. After Lia left James butler who was quite until now suddenly said:

”Master, are you really going to give ʼthatʼ to him?” (Butler)

Hearing the butlerʼs question, James just nodded his head and spoke in a rather calm voice:

”Yeah, ʼitʼ belongs to him anyway…” (James)

Jold district, Arteʼs starwatching tower.

Rio looked at the sky and after a few seconds a faint and hazy figure of a star appeared in the sky. Although there was still some time for the sun to fully set down but this star can be seen without much problem.

ʼItʼs timeʼ (Rio)

After a few second the thing Rio was waiting finally came:

[You have discovered the entrance to the hidden floor of the Arteʼs tower]

[Would you like to enter?]

[Yes/No]

”Yes” (Rio)

Suddenly, a blinding light enveloped Rioʼs whole body and as the light slowly started to fade away, Rioʼs figure also disappeared from where he was before.

Unlike the teleportation magic where mana and mana circles are needed to carryout teleportation this method only involves a set mechanism and a medium to teleport an individual from one place to other.

The star and the tower both are the part of the set mechanism capable of teleporting anyone standing at the roof to the hidden floor, while the individualʼs body is the medium through which this teleportation occurs.

This method has actually long been lost during early times since the arrival of mana in this world. Nowadays this method is just recorded in the legends and myths, only history lovers Like Kira know about its legends and myths. Most of the world donʼt even have any idea about its existence.

When Rio opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a dilapidated library of some kind.

ʼIt really is a unique experience to travel through a method which is considered only be possible in legendsʼ (Rio)

He looked around for a while and found that most of the books here are still in good condition just like it was described in the novel. But since Rio knew that these books are written in some kind of different language which he canʼt understand at all. Only someone with great knowledge can do so, like Kira.

ʼWell, according to the novel these books all contain historical records which are not really much interesting for me anywayʼ (Rio)

Although for history lovers this place is just like heaven, for him this is simply a waste of time. He shook his head and started to walk around in order to find the biggest book-shelf in this library. After a while he finally found it.
