TOFD 373

Lucky 373

"Then, I will leave now. The presentation was still far away and we can make more plans next time."

Shoujo excused herself. She had things to do and they were important. To be honest, she wanted to stay with Lou Viola but she knew the importance of her job. It was related to her life and she could not run away from it. 

"Then, see you guys tomorrow."

Lou smiled and bid her farewell. She glanced at Calix and she realized that the man was thinking of something because he didn't even look at her. 

Lou was a bit disappointed. She hoped that Calix would invite her again but it seemed that Calix was busy too. 

'Well, I can use this time to study. There's an exam tomorrow and I have to work hard to maintain my scholarship.'

Even for a smart woman like her, there were obstacles that she had to face. 

"Goodbye, Lucky."

"Ah? Yeah! Take care of yourself, Lou. (I will contact you later)."

Calix returned to his senses and waved his hand. He realized that Lou was leaving. 

"I will."

She was sweet and beautiful. The three parted ways and Calix was left alone. He was still surprised about what happened earlier. 

He was in deep thought when he rubbed the monocle again. 

[Hm~~ Oh my God~ Daddy more~]

His eyes twitched. The hand that was holding the monocle was trembling. 

'What the is this?'

This was not the first time he experienced this kind of situation. But this item was too fucking outrageous!

'Why are you moaning? Furthermore, you sound raspy and old! Like a granny!'

He cursed. It would be great if the moaning was young and lustful but it was an old woman. Her voice was a grandma! 

And she called him Daddy!

'With your raspy voice alone, it's obvious that you are older than me. So please, don't call me Daddy, it sends goosebumps all over me.'

It was a strange disgusting feeling. He didn't have a thing for old women... Well, Esmeralda was an exception because she was sexy and hot. She might be a thousand-year-old woman but she looked young and erotic, unlike this monocle. 

[Daddy you tease~]

'Once more and I will throw you!'

Calix was serious. He was ready to throw the monocle.

[Okay fine.]

Thankfully, the monocle knew when to be serious. Her old voice was not teasing anymore. At least it was quite pleasing. 

'First of all, how can you speak and why are talking to me?'

[Since my creation, I can speak. However, only a few people can hear me. I love it when people touch me. No one could hear me anyway so I speak with all my heart. You just heard me.]

Calix nodded. Pistol Mento and Hammer Corco could speak but only worthy people could hear them.

Based on what he heard from Nikki, she started hearing a voice from the hammer after she acquired her Term Attribute. 

'Perhaps it related to Term Attribute.'

He thought.

'Then why are you talking to me now?'

[I'm not. You're the one who's talking to me. But if you are asking why you can hear my voice, I have an explanation. I was one of the oldest objects that Master Vulcan created and I know more than my younger siblings.]

Calix almost nods. He knew that Corco and Mento were related, he already had an idea that they were siblings. He asked Mento last time but the pistol didn't have any information regarding this. Mento didn't even know how he was created. 

He was confused, just like Calix. 

'Although I don't who is this Vulcan that grandma monocle is talking about.'

He never heard of this person. Perhaps it was one of the people from the lost history. 

[The fact that you can hear me means that you have the blood of Ogre.]

"Indeed."

He didn't have to deny it.

[You're ancestor is Master Vulcan, the great Ogre Blacksmith.]

"Wait what?"

Now that was shocking. He didn't expect that he was from the lineage of a Blacksmith.

'Ogre can be Blacksmith? What about the Runes? The technology came from the Dwarves. How can an Ogre make a Runic Weapon?'

Calix thought that the creator of the pistol was a Dwarf. 

[Don't underestimate the Ogres. They may be a docile and loving race but they have strong bodies. They can create powerful weapons. However, only Master Vulcan could create a Runic Weapon in the Ogre race. His existence was unique. Unfortunately, I didn't know Master Vulcan's parents. Perhaps one of them was a Dwarf.]

This information was quite absurd and Calix had a hard time accepting it. It was abrupt.

'This too much.'

He frowned. 

He believed that the master who created Mento was a Dwarf. Even Kimberly thought that it was a Dwarf. If this Monocle was not lying, then both Calix and Kimberly were wrong.

He sighed and shook his head. They were mortals after all. Kimberly might be a genius but she didn't know everything. No one was perfect. 

"Let's disregard this confusing stuff first. I want to ask you, what are you? You said that you are created by a master Blacksmith, then what is your purpose?"

Calix used Mento for almost five years now. He knew how special the pistol was and he was eager to know what the Monocle's abilities were.

[Well, if you want to know. You have to wear me. You can hear me, it means that you can 'use' me! Go on! Use me! Ah!]

'Why do you keep emphasizing the term 'use'? I feel uncomfortable right now.'

Calix didn't have a choice but to wear the broken Monocle and he was stunned by what he witnessed. 

"What is happening?"

His pupils trembled when he realized the world changed after he wear the Monocle. The glass was already cracked but it didn't matter, Calix was more curious about what he saw. 

"The people, they have auras. And their auras have different colors..."

What does that mean? Perhaps he would learn later.
