I Am Really The Best Anti Hero In Another World!-System Of Anti Hero! novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 - 24 - Connection

Time passed, and the doctor came to examine Noah—there was nothing he could do, as the doctor concluded. His body was in perfect condition, and there was no apparent reason for the pain he still felt.

The story that had been recounted was still being processed by the Radiance family—especially by Arthur—while Sophia continued to care for Noah, bringing him his lunch, some snacks during the afternoon, and dinner. But one thing was certain: nothing he had said was spread beyond that room.

"Do you believe what he said..?" asked Arthur as he lay down beside Alice. "Living with demon beasts... is that really possible?"

"Apparently, yes... And don't they say that cultivators in the major sects normally do that?" she replied, taking off her glasses and setting the book on the small table beside the bed.

"That's different. As far as I know, they use special bonds and avoid the more powerful ones."

"From what you know..." Alice smiled. "Have you ever been in a major sect, by any chance?"

"...This is serious. He's no longer just some unknown little boy that Sophia can simply keep around. He's dangerous."

"The Stellar Demon Wolf is dangerous—even though, from what I saw, he's just a boy."

"A boy raised among demon beasts, who doesn't really know much about human customs." _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

Silence fell in the room as both of them pondered these words. The quiet was broken when Alice sighed:

— So, what do you want to do?

She said.

"...I don't know," Arthur replied as he embraced her. "I already said he could stay here as long as he wants, so we can't just kick him out."

Upon hearing this, Alice changed her tone and said,

— And we wouldn't do that; you wouldn't do it. He even saved our daughter.

"...I know... but it won't mean anything if she ever gets endangered again."

"...I believe we can only be more careful from now on," Alice concluded. "Maybe it's true—he really is just in search of the pill. This city is very small, after all; there isn't anything here valuable enough to catch the interest of the forest beasts, especially one that the books claim is among the strongest."

"...It didn't exist..."

"No, very few people even know about it. If the secret had actually leaked, someone would have had to tell, and that person would certainly have revealed it to another human, whether from a sect or some big city—not to a forest demon beast."

Arthur fell silent for a moment before sighing. He took one of Alice's arms and wrapped it around himself:

— Alright, fine, let's stop talking about it.

He said, closing his eyes with his head close to his wife's chest, and continued,

— Dwelling on such thoughts won't help... I'll talk with that boy again tomorrow.

"You're going to...?" Alice smiled as she pulled him closer. "You're going to scare him and tell him to behave, aren't you?"
