Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.
Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Interwined Fate.

Inside a luxurious apartment where the room is slightly dim. A king-size bed stands in the middle, along with luxurious furniture adorning the interior. A faint light from the desk lamp and the moon that seeped through the window basked the room with its brilliance.

A lone woman emerged from one of the doors in the room, steamed covered her alluring body, wrapped by a luxurious white bathrobe tied loosely around her waist, revealing her cleavage.

Her freshly showered skin glistened by the reflection of the moonlight that shone through the window glass. She strolled, approaching the sofa and a round table near the window that glowed under the moon's light. With each step she took, her hips were elevated, which showed her alluring body.

Her pearl-like finger traced the glass surface that was placed on the table along with a bottle of wine and a phone.

She took the glass, which was half-filled with a red liquid. She put the glass to her thin red lips, sipping it delicately, savoring the taste. As she neared the window, the moonlight revealed her figure.

The woman stood tall, around 170 cm in height. Her straight, silky black hair stretched to her waist, her eyes sharp with black pupils, looking at the world like the queen.

"...Ha, so tired..".

A sigh escaped her mouth as she took a seat. The woman enjoys the wine gracefully while observing the dark sky with its glittering stars. As the tranquil air filled the room. Suddenly, it was shattered by the sound of the vibration from the phone before her.

She ignored a few rings. But her eyes caught the familiar names of the phone who called, and she sighed. Reluctantly, she took the phone in her hand and saw that her secretary was indeed calling her.

The woman knitted her brows. She told her secretary to call her if there is something urgent. Wondering what happened, she slid the display and the call connected, setting the call into speaker mode. Then, let the phone rest on the table once more.

{Mylady, I am sorry for disturbing you at this time}.

The voice that came from the other side was a woman who happened to visited a place where Soma and Eiji visited a moment ago.

"...Get to the point!".

{Yes, earlier in the casino, there were…}.

The secretary on the phone started to explain the details in short lines so as not to waste her boss' time. As the woman heard the detail, her brows knitted in curiosity because there was someone who managed to achieve success in the casino she owned.

She began to submerge her mind, deep in thought. There is no way someone could do something like that inside Casino, which has already established its own system. Unless the person who achieved it was super tricky, but that reason was unlikely because of the security that was placed there.

There is another possibility that the person who managed to do that was a person who had great luck on his hands.

"...Hmm".

{...One of the pursuers, who has good tracking skills, notices the trace of the mana from one of the people. He holds an ominous power}

"...".

As the secretary explained what had transpired in the pursuit. The woman stopped her activity. She reacted to the word ominous power.

"What kind of it?".

{We don't know for sure. But, it was a faint, menacing red aura that resembled something like a demon race had}

The woman, for the first time, turned her gaze to the phone, intrigued by the terms of demon. Because she had some debt to settle with them.

"...Find him!!!".

{As you wish. I will excuse myself…}

After hearing her boss's order, the woman on the other side cut the call briefly. She starts to work to make her boss' wish come true.

The woman, whose mood was shattered, put down the glass. She rose from her seat and stood in front of the transparent mirror, looking at herself, which faintly reflected.

"...Demon".

As soon as that word was uttered. She extended her hand to caress her reflection on the glass. Her pupils, which shone like an obsidian gem, turned crimson and revealed a slit dot like a snake.

After running far away from their current destination. Soma, who still carried Eiji in his hand, felt his vision shake. Because of the limited duration, Soma's skill almost ran out of time.

Currently, the two of them stood in front of the hotel in which Doma stayed. He didn't have any place to run to, and this place was the first that popped into his mind.

"Eiji, are you okay? Mm?".

Eiji, in his arm, had already gone limp, losing consciousness.

[Skill duration expired]

Soma's feet turned soft as he dropped down to his knees and slammed his front body to the ground, lying on his stomach. His body feels so sluggish. He couldn't even lift a finger. The muscle body he forced to work so hard earlier started to gnaw at him. He could feel it screaming.

As he lay on the hard ground. His mana pool was empty, and it cancelled his transformation, and as for Eiji. He was already back to his usual appearance, for he lost focus on infusing the necklace with mana. Soma, lying on the hard ground and casting his gaze on the road, saw someone approaching their place. Luckily, he is someone Soma knows well.

"Soma, are you alright?".

"Mr. Hiroshi, please help me a bit".

Hiroshi, who happened to go outside because he had some time to kill. He witnessed Soma bringing a boy around his age unconscious. Hiroshi flipped Soma to face the sky, then raised his torso, helping him to sit.

"What happened?".

"I will tell you later. Can you please carry us to my room?".

"No, problem".

"Ukh, Aaah?! huh?".

Eiji suddenly let out an outburst. He jolted up as he sat. His eyes bloated, stunned not only Soma but also Hiroshi, who was slipping his hand under his stomach. Eiji, who regained awareness, noticed an adult man near his face. He backed away and sprung back to stand on his feet.

"...Where am I?".

"Eiji, we are safe now".

"Huh, safe?".

Eiji turned his gaze at Soma, who was being carried by Hiroshi, who Eiji still didn't recognize for his messed-up thought. Gradually, each piece started to assemble inside his head, creating a whole memory he had with Soma after they left the casino.

His body reacted and turned his gaze, scanning his surroundings, searching for the presence that was tailing them.

"It's okay, Eiji. We managed to escape".

"So we are safe now?".

Soma nodded his head. After hearing that, relief washed away his body as the strength in his feet loosened. But Eiji managed to prevail and not let his butt kiss the ground.

"Kids, let's continue our conversation inside. This place was too open for discussion".

"Sorry, Mr Hiroshi. Eiji, let us enter the Hotel first and talk".

"...Okay".

The three of them, with one person is still immobilized. They entered the building and safely arrived at the Soma room. But, Somaa and Eiji forgot about the fact that their fate was still bound to the Casino. As long as they hold the cheque in their hands.
