"Welcome back, master Isbert." Leading me inside, we were greeted by a single person who is another old man that I assume to be this household's butler. From the looks of this place, it seems to be a little too dark. All windows are covered behind the curtains, with only a few candles in some sections that is covered by a grey glass, creating a gloomy and sad atmosphere. Though I can still see somehow, it is certainly so dim in here.
"I think letting some light in will make this place more livelier. This is not a good form of art, unless used strategically well."
"...Elise, my grand daughter, you see..."
"Trauma isn't something easy to overcome, huh. As her standing parent, I advise you to give her enough love and time."
Seeing this place reminds me of my early days playing First primordial. From the game, even though the little girl already got healed, it still left some scar that she treated like a curse. In short, she's still afraid of the light, which is normal if someone becomes unable to step outside the sun like a vampire for years. So that's the reason why this place is like this. Also, I won't deny I'm excited to meet her since she's another playable character. Unlike this Sebastian who only has a few monotone lines in the cut scenes.
"Do you know anything about my daughter's problem?"
"You shouldn't come to conclusions, I have no idea."
From the stairs, a little girl stood up there with a maid following her. She stares at us with her expressionless face. The girl is around seven years old from what I remember. Her skin is as white that makes her look like a real life doll, white short hair and red eyes. Well here she is, the first introduced loli playable character who is a four star, Elise.
"Elise, can you come down here for a moment?"
"...is he the one Papa is talking about?"
"That's right!" He said with a big smile.
"...then...Elise is thankful..."
Although she thanked me, she is pretty much unfazed and just stood there. And for some reasons, I feel like she's looking down at me with those eyes me. If it was anybody, I would've just done something about it or simply won't give a f*ck, but that's her personality so can't be helped since she's designed that way.
"What a sweet girl you are, Elise. Know my name, it is I, Lord Yuukei, The lord of thunder, controller of the destructive violet lighting."
"..."
You are reading story After reincarnating as the weakest demon lord, I decided to stand out. at novel35.com
"Now that you've heard my name, this lord hopes that that alchemy will be a success."
I intendedly highlighted the words that alchemy. In her story quest shows that, after this girl receive the disease, she secretly got kidnapped and was brought back afterwards without any one in their house knowing. Since then, she's been sneaking out from the window every night time, without getting noticed as well as everyone thought she always wants to be alone, while her grandfather is always busy.
Turns out, she is getting trained as an assassin at a young age. So every time she sneaks out, she usually heads to a pharmacist first to meet a person. You know who that person is? It was actually that old lady in disguise that gave her that poisonous apple. I don't really know why I want to act mysterious, but it is cool.
"...papa has taken care of everything. Elise will leave...maid, let's go."
"Elise!"
After that, she left us with her maid.
"Hahh...please don't mind her, she's always been like that ever since."
"Always been like that, hmm."

Moments after, we are now inside another office almost exactly like the one he has in the guild. Except that it is cleaner here I guess, and there are fewer papers here so it is arranged neatly. However, is he seriously going to give me a cup of drink every time we'll need to talk about something? And coffee again? I just have one earlier...
"The process for your adventurer card won't take that long, with my authority. But before that, I would like to request you something."
"What? You sure are a greedy old man."
"No, it's not that much. It's just that, seeing you beat Ulfius, how about having a duel with this old man next?"
