After that, Lucifer and Reina didn't say anything to each other. Reina went back to the sofa, continued eating ice cream and watching TV, while Lucifer was taken by Owen to see the room.
Because Lucifer's move here was so sudden, Owen didn't have time to prepare a room for the boy.
Therefore, Lucifer had to stay in a guest room, although it wasn't as beautiful and luxurious as the other rooms in this house, it was a million times more beautiful than his room in the slums.
"Okay Lucifer, you'll live here for the time being. If you need anything, just call me, don't worry."
Owen left the room and closed the door tightly. Leaving Lucifer alone in this modern, tidy, and spacious room.
Lucifer looked around the room in amazement, he didn't know what to say to describe this room. It was so wonderful, much more wonderful than his room in the slums.
'So this is the bedroom of a rich person?'
At a glance, this room had a large and soft bed, plus a table, and on the table was a computer that was not only large but also very modern.
Beside the bed was some kind of machine that was emitting heat, perhaps this thing was called a heater.
In addition, this room also had an extremely large wardrobe…and a maid robot. Yes, this room even had a maid robot.
If what Lucifer knew was correct, this robot could only be purchased by people who were not only rich but also had power in society. And now Lucifer had such a robot in his room.
'So sleepy…'
Lucifer yawned, having used up too much energy in the Trial and arguing with Reina, Lucifer's stamina had been greatly depleted. His body felt extremely heavy, his consciousness was about to disappear.
Lucifer tried to drag his worn-out body closer to the bed. Then, he immediately jumped onto it, burying his face in the cozy and warm blanket, completely different from the thin and rough one he had before.
'Wait, have I taken a bath yet? Nah, I don't think so…'
However, even if he wanted to, Lucifer still didn't have the energy to do anything. He could only use all his remaining energy to smell his body, checking to see if it really smelled bad like Reina had said just now.
'There's no smell at all. That Reina probably just wants to pick a fight with me. Born into a powerful family but with a shitty personality huh?'
***
The next morning, Lucifer was woken up by something long, hard, and cold poking his body. The feeling was exactly like an iron rod touching his skin.
Lucifer kept his eyes closed, trying to push the damn iron rod away. He not only used his hands but also let his legs join in the mission.
But no matter how hard Lucifer tried to push the iron rod away, the long and hard thing kept poking him, even harder and faster than before.
Finally, Lucifer had to sit up immediately after the rod poked his stomach hard.
Lucifer held his poor stomach in pain while looking around the room to find out who could have pulled such a cruel prank.
'Damn it! Is it because of Reina?'
But what left Lucifer speechless was that there was no one in his room, while on the floor was a long iron rod like a mop, and the door to the room was completely closed.
This room didn't even have a window.
Lucifer shuddered, thinking that he had just seen a ghost. But why was he afraid? Hadn't he already seen something even scarier?
'Well… Ghosts are creatures that I can't touch, so there's no way to defeat them, while that monster can still be defeated.'
Lucifer tiredly got out of bed. His body still felt very heavy, as if he was carrying a bunch of weights on his back. And the weights were about to break his back.
He opened the door and walked out into the hallway. The first thing he saw was not a hallway but Reina's face as if she was looking at something disgusting, something that should never exist in this world.
She was standing opposite his door, staring at Lucifer without saying anything. Perhaps Reina was the one who used that iron rod to tease him. Actually, Lucifer already knew everything…he didn't believe in ghosts at all…
Only kids believed that ghosts really existed…
Lucifer tried not to embarrass himself in front of Reina. He tried to maintain a calm demeanor.
'I'm a statue without emotions…'
"What? Do you need anything?" Lucifer asked coldly.
"Now that you're up, go brush your teeth, wash your face, and have breakfast. Didn't you take a shower like I told you to yesterday? No wonder your room smells like dead rats."
"Hey, don't be so harsh. I smell good, how could I smell like a dead rat? You're just making up stories."
"Sorry, I was wrong. It should not be the smell of dead rats but the smell of garbage." Reina walked towards the living room, the way she walked while laughing made Lucifer feel extremely uncomfortable.
He had hoped for a peaceful morning but Reina's presence made Lucifer's mood worse than ever.
'Anyway, let's go take a shower first.'
Lucifer walked towards the bathroom. As he walked, he rummaged through his pants pocket, or rather both of his pants pockets. After rummaging through both of them for a while, Lucifer froze on the spot.
His face turned pale with shock.
Lucifer couldn't find the monster core he had obtained in the first Trial anywhere. Not only did Lucifer rummage through both of his pants pockets, he even searched his entire body and returned to his room to look for it.
But all Lucifer found were two pairs of oversized socks and a pink tight shirt belonging to Owen.
'Damn it! Where's my money?'
Lucifer immediately went to find Owen. He wanted to ask the man what was going on, why couldn't he find the monster core even though he had carefully put it in his pocket. Before returning to this world Lucifer even checked it again to make sure that he hadn't lost it.
"Owen!"
Owen, who was in the kitchen cooking and wearing a very "girly" pink apron, immediately turned towards Lucifer.
"What's wrong?" Owen looked at the young man in confusion.
"Have you seen the monster core I got in the first Trial? I've looked everywhere but still can't find it." Lucifer asked in panic, losing his composure a little.
Owen thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up as if he realized why:
"Ah, it must be because you didn't bring an Artifact called Inventory Ring, right? It's a ring that allows you to store items you find in the Trial and bring it back to this world. You would definitely get an Inventory Ring if you went to a Guild that day but…"
Owen didn't continue, and Lucifer didn't need the man to continue to know what the man's next words would be.
Meanwhile, Reina was munching on a toast while trying to hold back her laughter.
