Unstoppable Antihero
Chapter 21: The Second Time
The room is quite spacious with a variety of weapons is indeed very stunning for Atlas. Moreover, Agatha told him to take one of these weapons and then serve as a gift. But Atlas was not so sure he could use those weapons to the fullest. At least with his abilities now.
At first Atlas was about to refuse, but he felt bad about rejecting the gift Agatha wanted to give him. For that, one thing he could think of doing now.
“It ...” Atlas looks to glance around.
“Did any weapon catch your attention, Mr Atlas?” agatha asked, much calmer than before. Maybe he could slowly get used to being with Atlas.
“All the weapons here look really great.” Slowly Atlas picked up one of the swords on the bottom shelf. “However, I am not sure of my ability to now be able to use them effectively and to the maximum.”
“I think Mr. Atlas can definitely do it ..” Agatha showed her smile again at Atlas.
Atlas knew or at least assumed that Agatha said it was not just encouraging, but that the girl was absolutely certain. To be honest Atlas did not understand why Agatha was so confident or highly expecting him.
Once again Atlas thought of a way out after the first way was successfully resisted. However, one thing that occurred to him was that his weapon ‘Libra’ Scales could make him trade anything for something commensurate. Including the human life itself.
“Then, I will take this sword,” said Atlas, not wanting to pick too many.
“Master Atlas sure?” Agatha tilted her head.
Atlas glanced at the sword in his hand then smiled faintly. “I think this will be my savior later in the day.”
Instantly Agatha covered her face and turned around. The girl's behavior once again managed to make Atlas scratch his non-itchy head. In addition, Atlas also felt that now was not the right time for him to ask frankly without thinking about the impact of his words.
...*** ...
Atlas was about to walk to the dining room where Kaysen and Felix were now. However, just before the young man opened the door, Kaysen and Felix first came out.
“Ah, Atlas,” said Felix, slightly surprised. “I thought you were gone.”
“That's right,” added Kaysen.
“Sorry, sorry,” replied Atlas. “So I happened to meet your sister. So yes sorry.”
Felix glanced at the sword that was hung on Atlas' waist. The young man with short hair seemed to immediately understand what was happening. He did not immediately extend the subject.
“Alright,” Felix said as he walked. “Cute me.”
“I thought you invited us just for lunch today?” It seems clear Atlas did not have the slightest intention to follow Felix's request.
“That's ‘one of them’. So now you better come with.”
Exhaling deeply, Atlas began to walk behind Felix. “Ya ..”.
Kaysen glanced at Atlas for a moment while walking next to the young man. “It's rare to see you're not stubborn. Did your head hit?”
Hearing Kaysen say that in an innocent tone made Atlas a little annoyed. But he is not in a good mood at the moment.
“As far as you are,” answered Atlas indifferently.
They finally arrived in front of another room. However, before entering the room, they met a waiter who drove a girl into the same room with them.
“Irene?” Atlas seemed a little hesitant.
“You already know?” Felix raised his eyebrows.
“Nona Irene, how are you?” chirp Kaysen suddenly.
“You still keep your promise, yes, Kaysen.”
“Hehe.
Before they continue any conversation. Irene suddenly changed the subject, “Can I borrow Atlas for a moment?”
Felix who felt the question was shown to him, immediately replied, “You can ask him directly.”
“Do you need anything from me, Irene?” ask Atlas.
“Cute me.”
Atlas and Irene immediately went to the balcony where Atlas and Agatha had met before. Of course Atlas showed this place to Irene, because the girl did not know where to go.
“I think there are no people here,” Atlas said as he woke up on the balcony railing.
“You're right.” Irene stood next to Atlas, facing out while repairing her hair that had been decomposed by the gust of wind. “How? Are you getting used to this world, Libra?”
“Not really. But I really didn't think you'd ask me to speak with four eyes like this. There must be something, right?”
Irene smiled faintly. “You are indeed great at guessing.”
“So?”
“War between Kingdoms in this world is about to begin. From the information I've gathered, some star children will probably be involved in it.”
“Then? Did you ask me to get involved in it too?”
“Not.” Irene shook her head. “I don't like war, so I hope that you won't get involved in it.”
Atlas took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “I do intend not to get involved, but if another star child is involved, it will likely cause more casualties from this world person.”
“Then?”
“I'm not interested in entering into any inter-Kingdom conflict or whatever it is. But, I will stop the star child who wants to interfere in that conflict.” Atlas was silent for a moment while looking at the beautiful garden under the balcony.
“Our existence has damaged the balance of this world, so I do not want the balance to be further damaged by our actions.”
“So it's your decision.” Irene smiled again as she turned around and walked away. “I can't help you in a fight, but I can help you in anything else.”
This time Atlas did not scratch his head because of the actions of a girl he did not understand. Right now he clearly understood Irene's intention even though the girl did not say it directly before his eyes.
“I depend on you, Irene,” said Atlas when a gust of wind once again hit his body.
The floor of the party is never empty by footsteps. All the movements combined were mixed with sounds that were not one sound. Atlas took a deep breath while closing his eyes. His heart was beating quite fast, but he tried to calm down.
“It's not about the party,” murmured Atlas while turning around. “However, the fanfare that occurred exceeded the party. What am I supposed to say about this? Is the soul of a revolutionary warrior still not extinguished in me?”
Atlas began walking away from the balcony. Although the look on his face looked flat and expressionless as if nothing was disturbing, the fact was that he was now questioning things. Maybe one of those things isn't important, but he doesn't really care about it.

The novel is arguably slow. XD.
