There was nothing worse than being left hanging after reading all of that, causing Alec's head to ache.
Most likely, he still didn't have enough authority to be able to extract the future events from the [System's System].
Yet, if he wanted to advance his authority, he had to find more Main Characters and add them to the [Main Character Page], which just wasn't that plausible at the moment.
Where was he going to find that many more Main Characters?
Just how many Main Characters could there be in one tiny planet?
That he'd already found ten of them was practically a miracle. Or was it…?
Just what had the Mainframe been thinking?
Alec hadn't thought about the Mainframe for a long time now, not since he 'opened' the [System's System] which had cut him off from the Mainframe.
Yet, a System still existed, so was he really free from the Mainframe in the first place?
He already tested out that he still lost points from going OOC, so just what was the difference between the him now and then?
Still, Alec told himself to be nicer to Dominique from now on. He wasn't quite happy the fact that the man had such a sad past. Even though many Main Character's pasts were quite tragic, he'd managed to avoid thinking about it for so long.
Now that the [Plot Route] soundly slapped him in the face with solid facts, he could no longer pretend to be ignorant of the pains that Dominique had suffered in the past.
There was a strange ache in the middle of his chest, and it didn't feel good. Still, Alec's expression never changed, only becoming a degree warmer than it usually was.
Alec managed to find out from Blanche that the people who Dominique killed back when he'd broken into the Rothschild's Family Mansion were only the spies and traitors that they were planning on getting rid of anyhow.
Furthermore, based on what this now told him, Dominique really hadn't been acting on behalf of someone else and instead been – as weird as it sounded – following his instincts from the chaos that permeated Welkton City.
Now, any hang ups Alec previously had about the Sin had been let go, and he truly took the other as his subordinate now.
From the way Dominique was acting, he wouldn't change his allegiances anymore, which was all the better for Alec.

Dominique and Alec stood at the teleportation array, teleporting to the nearest point to Gorgestar Canyon. Alec had been planning on getting Bunbun and Fenrir to increase their size and running there since there were hardly any options.
Dominique offered another solution. "Boss, please wait here for a few moments."
Alec raised a brow, but obligingly waited while Dominique ran off into the distance.
They were outside the city now, but just barely so. Alec was hardly outside the city gates as he waited for Dominique to return.
A large shadow was cast over the city gates, causing Alec as well as the guards that were stationed there to look up at the sudden overcast.
The two gate guards who were bored as the guarded the gates looked up in shock. Since the day was a fine one, without a single cloud in the sky, the appearance of a sudden darkness made them uneasy.

Unlike the two guards' unease, Alec was calmer since he could already feel Dominique's magic rapidly approaching them.
From the clear skies descended a large, avian creature. A body of gleaming black, Alec could only think that the creature suited Dominique's personality rather well. Its beady eyes pierced into the guard's, causing them to take a stumbling step back in fear from the pressure that the creature emitted.
The avian creature was a black, feathered thing. Its wingspan was the size of five humans, which covered them in a large shadow as it flew above them. It looked like a giant metallic starling, with its red eyes and sleek black feathers.
The guards gawked at the avian creature, panicking slightly.
Was that someone's familiar? Yet, with how menacing the avian creature appeared, it didn't seem like that was the case! Most familiars didn't exude such a strong pressure since they were used to humans.
The shadow that engulfed them largened as the creature swooped down, startling the guards so much that they fell onto the floor with their mouths opened widely, their legs giving out from under them.
Alec's expression remained just as genial and amicable as it usually did, causing the guards to look at him with awe in their eyes. Such a young boy, yet he was already this strong mentally.
Still, they couldn't do anything more than lock their eyes on the avian creature. Their legs had no strength at all, and the pressure that the creature gave off made them feel like they were close to death.
The large avian creature landed on the ground, and all Alec could see was that its eyes were trembling pitifully as it tried to make its body smaller.
Dominique was casually sitting on its back, his eyes glittering at he stared at his boss. He seemed to wear an expression that said: "Praise me, boss! Praise me!".
Alec coughed, hiding his laughter.
Alec leapt up onto the avian, which took off as soon as Alec landed and seated himself securely on its back. Bunbun and Fenrir clung to Alec's clothes without a problem. They didn't even shake when Alec moved around.
With a large gust of wind, they took off.
On the ground, the two pitiful guards stared with their mouths still hanging open as they left.
The poor guards, "???"
The shadow of the creature grew smaller and smaller, fading into the distance where they could no longer see it.
"…That was cool."
"…Yeah."
The greenery bled into soft browns and yellows as the forest around them grew sporadic, thinning out greatly. They were getting closer to Gorgestar Canyon.
However, Alec didn't have to continuously search for them since the [Main Character Radar] allowed him to know the direction in which they should head.
Dominique didn't question how his boss knew where to go, blindly trusting him with worshipful eyes. The boss probably had some sort of skill that allowed him to do so without any trouble, even when Dominique couldn't feel any fluctuations from him.
His boss knew everything .
They landed further away from the large group of tents that had been set up on the ground, since it was more convenient that way.
Getting off the creature, it was about to flee like it'd been granted amnesty, but Dominique placed a hand on its wing, and the creature jolted like it'd been electrocuted.
"You're pretty useful. Form a familiar contract with me."
The poor avian creature, "…"
Could it not? The poor avian wanted to bathe its face in tears. This man was too scary! How had he managed to track him down again after all was said and done? It'd been three years since he'd seen the back of this man!
Why! It thought that it was now free, yet its hopes were dashed cruelly.
The avian creature sadly formed a blood bond with the man, its red, beady eyes crying as it sadly lowered itself onto the ground and just went to sleep then and there to sleep off its sadness.
If it had known that this day would come for it, it wouldn't have hesitated fleeing in the middle of the night like a thief even if it had to leave its home. Now all it could do was resign itself to its fate.
Dominique prodded it, stopping it from going to sleep then and there. "Can't you shrink yourself like boss' familiars?"
The creature made a cawing noise, indignant. Did his master think that it was so easy to change sizes!? The ones who were abnormal were those two, alright?!
There were various sentries posted by the mercenary group that had stationed itself in Gorgestar Canyon.
Dominique and Alec walked past them without anyone realizing that they had infiltrated the mercenary group camp, walking towards the direction where the [Main Character Radar] pointed him to.
Dietrich and Tatiana were in the same place, so they had already met.
Alec felt the excitement and worry in turns bubble up within him. He hadn't seen Tatiana since the day that she'd 'graduated' from their clan's final exam.
Lifting the flap of the tent, Alec stepped in, only for what he saw to make him stop short, stunned.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
