Chapter 1361 Your Admirer
Haru knew that it wouldn't be that easy to fool Darnic, this old ghost who had been living almost for a century, however, in his mind, Darnic was several better than Zouken Matou.
Zouken Matou was a devil, but Darnic, this man's past was very bitter.
Being betrayed by his fiance, his brother-in-law, and a lot more, and everything was because of Clock Tower so it was the reason why Darnic wanted to create a new organization.
Haru knew that it wouldn't be easy to fool Darnic, however, he believed even if he was known, it didn't really matter as long as he caught Darnic quickly then used "Heaven's Door" later since he wanted to know a method at how to summon a servant.
Haru recalled everything on his mind and did his best to act as Darnic's admirer since it was his role at this moment.
While the homunculus guided him, Haru looked around the castle and thought that magician was quite troubled with money. Even though this castle was very large, but it was located out of nowhere, he was sure the price of the land in this area was a bargain and he could buy it in bulk.
"Welcome to my resident, Kasugano Haruka."
Haru had noticed someone appeared in front of him, but he pretended that he didn't see anything and looked around curiously until he heard this voice. Then when he turned his head and saw this man, he showed a shock, excitement, nervousness, and a lot more expression.
"H - Hello Mr. Darnic, it is my honor for you to know my name. I - I am your fan!" Haru showed a bright smile and showed a hesitant expression.
Although he is 97 years old, he looks like a man in his late twenties, not showing a single wrinkle. It seems as if time has stopped for him since stealing the Grail.
Haru was sure that if he went out with Darnic to flirt with a girl, those girls wouldn't notice that Darnic was an old grandpa.
When Haru was thinking about a stupid thing, Darnic was a bit weird when he saw Haru right in front of him since this expression was too real, right?
'Is he really my fan?'
Somehow Darnic thought such a thing. He looked at the Command Spells on Haru's hand and knew that it would be a loss for his faction if he killed him directly. When he heard Haru's voice, he felt a bit strange since Haru was the one who announced his name out loud before, but he didn't say much and saw his hesitant expression.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me?"
"Um… I know that it is a bit rude, but…"
Haru bowed his head and asked loudly, "Please shake my hand! I am really your big fan!"
"…"
Darnic blinked his eyes but didn't immediately agree to Haru's request since he didn't know about Haru's Magecraft. He had seen how Haru's fight and thought that it might need contact with an opponent, however, he knew that with Haru's speed, it would be easy for Haru to touch him without trouble so, in the end, he decided to gamble since as someone who had lived for a long time, he didn't think the young man in front of him was a threat.
"Sure."
Haru was very nervous and shook Darnic's hand slowly. Inwardly, he felt strange since Darnic's hand was very cold, but it was good enough as long as Darnic's hand wasn't slimy or disgusting. Once he let go of Darnic's hand, he quickly shouted in happiness.
"YAHOOOOOO!!!!!"
Looking at Haru who was full of happiness, even Darnic could only let out a sigh since it might have been a while for someone to treat him like this.
Haru then acted as if he had realized something and bowed his head again.
"I am sorry! I am acting quite rude in front of you, Mr. Darnic."
Waving his hand, Darnic said, "You don't need to worry too much, but can you tell me how can you know me?"
"Of course! Who doesn't know about you, Mr. Darnic? In the world of Magus, your name is very famous!"
Darnic squinted his eyes and asked, "Me? Famous? As a failure? Swindler?"
"Some people might think so, but I don't think so."
"Oh?" Darnic looked at Haru in an interest.
"In my eyes, those people on the Clock Tower are nothing more than an old fossil who can't see the future. They're a group of bastards so I am very happy when I have heard that you want to create a new Clock Tower." Haru looked at Darnic with a sincere expression and said, "So let me help you in this conquest. For you, I'll be your sharpest blade and you can use me as your will in this war!" He showed a determined expression, showing that he was coming to help him.
"……"
Darnic didn't say anything for a while and asked, "If you're my admirer, then can you tell me about your Magic Crest?" However, inwardly, he felt happy that someone could admire him that much, but he wouldn't believe in Haru so easily.
When Darnic asked this question, Haru showed a troubled expression.
Darnic smiled and asked, "What's wrong? You're my admirer, right? Why don't you show me your Magic Crest?"
Magic Crests are the most important treasure of a lineage of Magus. It is so important so when someone asks this question, it is similar to asking a Magus whether you can kill them or not right in front of their eyes.
"No, I don't mind, but I am not a Magus," Haru said with a sheepish smile.
"……"
Darnic raised his eyebrow and asked, "If you're not a Magus then what are you?"
"I am Psychic," Haru said.
A Psychic refers to one who has a mutation, an Abnormal Ability gained as a result of the brain being able to comprehend a "channel" (common sense, or perception of reality) not native to humans. It is a different type of Mystery than Magecraft, although similar in nature.
In other words, it is an esper.
"You're Psychic?" Darnic was quite surprised.
A Magus was very rare, but a Psychic was even more so, however, it depended on the power of the Psychic.
Darnic looked at Haru and wondered whether Haru's power was related to charm or something since he could tell that this guy was very handsome. However, he also understood why Haru didn't really like the Clock Tower since those Magus on the Clock Tower disdained a lucky guy such as Haru who had gotten their power by luck.
But it was all good, Darnic looked at Haru and asked, "So what's your power?"
"……"
Haru also showed a troubled expression when Darnic asked this question.
"I…"
"What's wrong? You can't tell me?" Darnic showed a cold expression.
"It isn't that I can't show you, but my power is…"
"What's wrong?" Darnic thought that there might be another reason.
Haru took a deep breath and seemed to have made his decision.
"Please, once I tell you my power, don't look at me my strange eyes."
Darnic looked at Haru for a while and nodded. "Is it related to charm or something?"
Yggdmillennia was a family that was made by a group of outcasts, after all, so Darnic wasn't that surprised if Haru's reason to join his faction was because of his weird power or something related.
"M - My power is a pleasure."
"………"
"…What?"
