For I Am A Side Character - Zetro Translation

As the storm continues to rage on, up in the hills of the 11^th branch of the house of shadows, five people were gathered inside the dojo to discuss one thing.

From members who worked for the Crow’s coop and for Cecil and Master Yagami who sat in the center of it all, there cold gazes pointed down to a corpse that belonged to a devastating existence.

“Hmm…to think that my disciple was capable of such a thing.” said Master Yagami as he turned to the figure of the corpse of a fallen angel.

Despite his blind nature, he could feel the energy flowing outside the corpse. The power it was emitting showed no signs of a simple mortal body…

“We saw it master…his power overwhelmed the angel even without the complete use of our teachings. And from the words of the angel herself, she has called his identity to be that of God’s agent.” said Cecil.

“…The skills he used to overthrow her was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Despite my knowledge over the history of all known skills, not once have I witnessed such an overpowering level. The skills he used was definitely inhuman…” said Lionel as he sat formally in front of Master Yagami.

“…God’s agent. Hmm…that must explain why his fate is so blurry at times.” said Master Yagami as he showed a reminiscent expression.

“Knowing his capabilities, what must we do then?” asked Lionel.

“You said that he came to protect the artifact that was the sole target of this angel, do you have any prior knowledge as to what this artifact was capable of?” asked Master Yagami.

“Yes, The Artifact that he claimed was known as the Acrylic Elf Core…a piece of Elven Artifact that has the capacity to create illusions. Other than its outstanding value, there were theories concluding that it was another piece of artifact that is capable of being compatible with other artifacts of the same Elven nature.”

“Hmm, I guess it’s the same just like some of the cursed artifacts then. If that is the case, then there are other artifacts out there which are capable of being compatible to the acrylic elf core. Do you know which artifact it is?” asked Cecil.

“No…other than the theory that we were able to conclude, finding some compatible artifact perfect for the elven core is another issue at hand. From the other artifacts found in my vault, not once have I found any that could be compatible to the Acrylic Elf core.”

“Really? Out of the thousands there are?” asked Cecil.

“Yes, I’m always willing to check whether each artifact is compatible to the other, and based off of my records, the Acrylic Elf Core is a rare item by itself.” said Lionel

“Hmm…then how can we find the other compatibles artifacts then?” asked one of the other Crow Coops in the room.

“…its simple really. Before we even took the consideration that it was the Acrylic Elf core that the demons were after, it was Soril himself who introduced us to the possibility that it was the target to the demon’s interest. And we can only assume that he was able to come to this conclusion because he was God’s agent…so to that Logic, he knows what and where the other Artifacts are and why he needs them.” said Lionel.

“That could be a possibility.” said Cecil.

“Hmm, and in regards to him being a God’s agent, have you heard of any interest from the church lately?” asked Master Yagami.

“No, but if we dig back to what we know of Soril’s history, he somehow has a friendship with a particular student in the academy. That student being John Bishop.” said Lionel.

“…So the next upcoming Saint, I see.”

“Do you think there’s a connection there? What if he was tasked to do something related to the church’s activities?”

“Just recently, he did reveal to us that John Bishop was having some visions about an Angel’s orders to execute the Miller Brothers as they were said to be Half-demons. but from the way he explained himself, it seems as though the Miller Brothers are innocent.” said Lionel.

“If that is the case, what should we do?” asked one of the members. And to their questions, some were worried and expecting some kind of answer.

To the revelation of the corpse that was killed by a student of the house, with his identity beign revealed as an Agent of God, only fear and anxiety remained shown in their faces.

Yet despite this, Master Yagami held firm with his trust towards his student. From the start of his weak body till the coming of his adaptive strength, Master Yagami has seen the boy grow at such a young start. And he has seen the kindness and proper show of Soril’s soul. He is not someone who they should worry and instead, someone they should support.

“Hmm, from what we know, Soril himself showed no hesitation in revealing his identity as being God’s agent. That in of itself shows that he trust the vision and meaning of what it means to be a member of the house of shadows. Just like what we stand for, we fight the existence known as the demons…and Soril stands in the same position as us. So there’s no meaning in trying to speculate that he is against our actions.” said Master Yagami

“So by my order, we must support Soril in his mission…whatever they may be. Be it to obtain the artifacts or to stop the demons in pursuing their own objectives to overthrow our world. We will stand in the same position as that boy. Do all of you understand?” said Master Yagami as he puts his full trust in his student.

““Yes!””

and to Master Yagami’s words, the others complied with no rejection to that idea.

Whatever it is that stands in Soril’s path, it was now certain that Soril has support from the house of shadows. And this guarantee came from the words of his master above all.

‘This explains a lot about his potential…why his skill to adapt and learn goes above even that of Cecil himself…If Soril truly is God’s Agent, then that can only mean that his existence stands as a pillar to our future. I’m certain of it now’ thought Master Yagami.

Inside a hospital where Jason and the other Class-A students were put in, the sound of the air conditioner could be heard buzzing on the wall.

And to its noise, it awoke Jason from his rest.

As he turned to his side, he witnessed that at this time, it was raining hard like a storm.

“…the academy announced that they canceled today’s classes.” said a familiar voice near the door of their room.

“…?” as Jason turned, he saw Professor James Morrison standing by with his eyes looking at the same direction as Jason was.

The sight of the rain falling to the window was calming…

Yet despite this soothing atmosphere, Jason couldn’t help but feel the pain of his body from the injuries he obtained from a certain someone.

“…Tell me, what happened to you and your group?” he asked.

“…what do you mean?” asked Jason.

“You were found barely conscious as you and your other teammates walked out of the dungeon. We couldn’t find any evidence as to what actually happened inside because the drones assigned to follow you around were conveniently cut offline, but despite that, what happened inside was truly a massacre unlike any other.” he said.

“Why would you say that?” asked Jason.

“The damages left, I recognized some of them…”

“…”

“Sun’s Birth…a magnitude of power so dense and so powerful, it could have obliterated the dungeon as a whole. I know it like the back of my hand…my daughter, she used it didn’t she?” he asked.

“…” in Jason’s silence, Professor Morrison could see the nervousness behind his eyes.

“She used her birth skill, that was certain…and the crater she left in front of the C-class boss room, that was the effect of her Using the [Sun’s Birth]. doing it so in that location, we’ve replayed every evidence we could find and the only person to ever make it pass that location was one person.”

“…”

“Soril Remus…”

“.…” Jason’s eye twitched as he heard the name being called by Professor Morrison.

“Just as you had meet him in the dungeon, you raised your weapons in the presumption that you were going to attack him, but before you could even more forward with attacking him, the cameras turned offline conveniently so.”

“…Did it?” asked Jason nervously.

“Yes, so tell me, what happened right after the camera’s turned off?” he said in a menacing tone.

“…I…I don’t know.” he said.

“Fine, then I can only assume one thing…you fought against Soril…all of you did. There’s no other explanation behind it because all of you left the dungeon injured with some kind of blunt force when you encountered him a shown in the last footage. And furthermore, I can assume that the only one to ever take such a massive beating was you out of all your classmates…meaning that Soril held himself back against them and yet he didn’t with you.”

“…” as Professor Morrison told his theory, Jason couldn’t help but let out a cold sweat.

“I’m thankful really…he held himself back against my daughter. With the current signs of her injuries, I knew for a fact that she wasn’t injured like you did, her body just couldn’t take the stress of handling her birth skill. As for Audrey Yagami , some blunt force trauma was found behind her neck, causing her to probably fall unconscious. As for the rest, they too received a powerful attack in their bodies. Yet you…you received attacks from all sorts of angles.”

“…” Jason still couldn’t say anything as he wanted to keep his promise with Soril.

“He might have covered his tracks by leaving the scene of the crime, but that doesn’t leave out every other assumption. To leave the location of the scene of the crime, if a hunter were to moderately run across the tunnels of the dungeon all the way up to the exit, at most it would take at least thirty minutes to arrive. Now from the scene of the time when you meet with Soril and all up to the scene of the time when he arrived at the exit, only thirty minutes have passed. Now normally this would have been thought of that Soril didn’t fought with your group and he left before you could attack…but if we ignore that fact that he was a moderate hunter…it can be said that he must have fought you all in under thirty minutes and he left the scene of the crime in just under 2 minutes or less. Making him an extremely fast hunter.”

“.…” hearing all of that seemed possible…in fact, it might have been accurate to say the least.

“…I can assume from your reaction alone that it is true then.” he said.

“…”

“Don’t worry, I know that Soril Remus is an extremely talented student. If anything, I know that he isn’t your simple student of the academy…looking into his progress, as a student, his knowledge towards magic may be lacking at times, yet when it comes to the practical essence of a fight, I know that he is above the rest. Its just surprising to find that even against you and the others, he still was able to overwhelm you.”

“…I-”

“Also, don’t worry about his punishment. From the scene of the last footage, it was your group who initiated in combat first. So we can only assume that Soril fought back in terms of self defense. He’s safe…for now at least.” said Professor Morrison as he turned his back and left Jason’s room.

Despite the ‘assumption’ being said, it was clear in that moment that Professor Morrison was confident in his deduction. Now the question lies with what would happen next?

***

As the rain continued to pour down in the middle of the night, Jessica was sleeping while hugging Soril in bed. In this wonderful moment, as both were completely naked in bed, all of a sudden, Soril heard the slight noise of a pair of wings flapping inside the house.

“…” from that particular noise alone, he knew who it was that visited his home yet again.

So he had to leave Jessica again. As he pushed away Jessica, he got off his ned and wore a pare of trunks to cover his phallus. From there, he slowly made his way to the living room. When he walked down, he saw two pairs of wings spread out in the room.

It wasn’t jut one fallen angel, but two…

“…Hmm, Gypsy…Adifer, what are you two doing here?” he asked in a coarse tone.

One was an angel who had a golden enamored hair that shined ever so brightly even to the dead of night.

And the other was Adifer, the ink-black winged angel who she calls herself to be God’s favorite daughter.

Both wore a pair of ink-black wings that devoured the very light emitted from Gypsy’s glowing hair.

“We simply came here to see how you are doing after your encounter with a fallen angel.” said Gypsy.

“So you knew about it as well.” said Soril as he sounded cautious and angry.

“We did…” said Gypsy as she felt guilty in her words.

“You warned me about the high-ranked demon so you brought me to the S-ranked dungeon to prepare myself, yet you couldn’t warn me about the fallen angel who was much worse than an S-rank monster!? Why!?”

“We were asked not to tell you.” said Adifer in a regretful tone.

“I could have died that night…” said Soril.

“And we apologize, but God wanted you to overcome this challenge by yourself. He knew you were capable of such awakening.” explained Adifer.

Yet despite their explanation, Soril could only grit his teeth in anger.

“..!” he clinched his fist so hard that it actually caused the room to shake a bit.

“Yes…I survived, but if I didn’t…what would you have done then?” he asked.

“…” but in his question, the angels were silent.

“I know that God can’t figure out my fate…I know he can’t look into my future and that he could only rely on luck at this rate…but to rely on me at that dangerous of a level…it only leaves me with doubt.”

“…We’re sorry.” said Gypsy as she apologized.

“…I know. But just leave…I can’t face you or…God right now if I’m this angry…I need time.” said Soril as he tried to calm himself.

“…” as he said this, The Angel could see the shaking anger behind his fist…

In the current strength he had right now, he was a threat to every living being…even to the angels. Yet he was sane enough to give mercy…

He needed time…time to calm his mind…time to forgive God for what he did…

With that said, the angels left…

And to them leaving, Soril could only cover his face to not show the expression he held…
