Reincarnated Hero System-Chapter 221 Getting Tickets For A Show
After finishing the video, Gavin thought Evan would be scared upon seeing the great power of the Seven Deadly Sins but the young hero had an indifferent expression on his face.
"Is that it?
I've seen the 'Seven Deadly Sins' do worse, even Lust who looks like the least battle oriented among them wiped out a country with an area spanning hundreds of thousands of square kilometres during the war.
So, this doesn't even count.
I mean, even you can do more than what Gluttony did there."
Gavin was dumbstruck upon hearing Evan's words, the old mage looked at the young hero who was yawning with an incredulous look on his face.
'Wait up! What does he mean by he's 'seen' them do worse?
They were only active a thousand years ago and if he said he's 'seen' them...
Could he have access to a memory gem with videos of their activities a thousand years ago?
Makes sense, he did give several hints that pointed towards him being a 'hero'.'
The old mage arrived at the normal conclusion anyone with a brain would reach upon hearing Evan's words in this context.
The thought of Evan having his predecessor's memories didn't even cross his mind a bit.
As for what Evan said about Gavin being able to achieve the same feat, it was true, after all, Gavin was one of the reasons why Kasteblum was considered a world power despite how small they were.
The old mage in front of Evan was an Epic Level Existence over Level 500 after all.
"Old man.
I'm tired so I'm gonna go back. We can talk later as I'd be here for a week before going to Hobha."
The young hero stood up as he spoke, yawning a bit before turning around and making his way out.
"Hold on.
You said you were under a contract to save Aidos, right? Who are you contracted with?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Gavin's question, Evan turned around and thought about it for a moment before trying his luck with some wordplay.
"You see. It's not a contract per se, but I still have to save Aidos. I made an 'agreement' after all.
And as for who I made said agreement with, you pray to her every day."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out before Gavin could say anything more. This was exactly why he did not hear the old magus' reply.
"But I'm an atheist..."

After Leaving the Chief Grand Magus's office, Evan encountered Joanna who was talking to a few Senior Mages with one eye closed.
The poor woman couldn't even get a bit of sleep after returning from the dungeon because of work. Upon seeing Evan, her second eye opened and she used him as an excuse to run away from the senior mage who was pestering her for something, much to the young hero's shock.
She then proceeded to use him as an excuse to shriek all her responsibilities and escape from the Magic Tower, while Evan somehow ended up following her to her private residence.
"Here."
The vice-chief grand magus tossed him an envelope and told him it was 'thanks' for his help. Before the young hero could say anything in response, she kept on talking, ending her statement with very ominous words.
"It's some tickets to see some show or something. One of those old fogeys was sharing it and gave me two of them but I'd rather sleep than go watch other people move around on a stage.
By the way, you should leave now. My defensive magic formations activate exactly a second after I fall asleep.
You might get zapped to death if you're still here by then."
Evan didn't even hesitate to run away, only making it out of the compound about five seconds before he sensed an enormous amount of magic power swelling behind him.
He looked with his mystic eyes and the enormous amount of complicated defensive magic formations he saw outnumbered those in the Duke's residence.
'How does she power all of this? And how does she fall asleep that fast?!'
The young hero sighed as he moved towards the inn while using a bit of fire magic to warm up his body that was getting cold from the snow, and stopping by a roadside shop and having a quick meal.
He was sipping on his favourite strawberry juice when he noticed a carriage belonging to a restaurant pass by.
'The crest on that carriage? Isn't that the logo of that place Liz told me about?'
Evan pulled out the tickets he got from Joanna and alternated his gaze between them, then the carriage in the distance and the clothes shop just across the street.
'Let's do this.'
He hyped himself up and instantly put his newly formulated plan to action, beginning with him confirming the date on the tickets and hailing a taxi carriage.
"Take me to 'The Lotus'."

Abe's Guest House
City State of Magic, Kasteblum
January 24th 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼m
Year 1052
The next morning, Evan who was finally able to sleep on a proper bed for the first time in weeks, found parting from his bed a bit too difficult to achieve.
In the end, he had no choice but to do so when Eliza dragged him out while saying something about the inn not serving breakfast again.
After his late meal, the group converged in Evan's room, where they began discussing their next set of plans.
There Kayla revealed something that Evan had more or less predicted and had expected from her.
[Master's not surprised.]
"No way! I'm really surprised."
The young hero replied with a monotone voice as he averted his gaze from the pouting lightning spirit.
The current Kayla wasn't as small as she used to be before, with her current height being more than five times what it was before.
The young spirit now stood a bit over a metre tall, with her hair tied up in a long braid that reached just below her knees.
She wore a slightly loose long-sleeved shirt with black shorts and a similarly coloured half jacket. While she still had her gloves, they weren't silk like before but were now black leather, matching with the boots she had on.
This outfit somehow matched well with her porcelain doll-like beauty and made her look like that cute younger sister that gave one an urge to protect her.
There's the question of what to protect her from but that wasn't really important.
"Where did you even get this outfit?"
"Cheloy bought it for me!"
