Chapter 10：Are You Jerem or...? (1/2)

”Woes, you are not here to welcome us? Hey, Je!! Re!! Myyyyyyyy!! Do!! You!! Hear!! Me!!?”

Upon entering the house and didn't see the one who opened the door that originally should be standing right in front of it.

As a result, Charlotte was speaking-cum-yelling at the same time with her high pitched voice into all directions.

Once again, she made noises that would be heard by even the security guards of the community standing several tens of meters away from the house to inspect the various houses and visitors.

Hearing that, Jeremy's face became a tad bit darker.

Annoyed by the pandemonium like voice of hers, Jeremy conjured a total of 3 runes using his right index finger to write into the air in front of him. Then he mumbled-cum-whispered some almost inaudible words in a strange language.

Right after that, the runes vanished into thin air like it was never existed before.

[Hush Spell]

Then...

There was no then, it was just that the sounds that had been produced by Charlotte and everyone within the house wouldn't be heard to the outsiders anymore.

Right now, the noise from a ruckus that Charlotte was making could only travel inside the house.

Just like that, inside and outside of the house were like 2 separated worlds.

Upon seeing that the spell had been successfully taking its effect. Jeremy said lightly into the air like he was talking to himself.

”I'm in the living room.”

That was not a normal speech though. In fact, it was a speech infused with mana techniques capable of causing his voice to be able to be conveyed to the targeted distance.

And amazingly, his voice was heard by the trio whom was considerably at a far distance from him.

Subsequently, that made them to be quite astonished when they had heard Jeremy's voice up-close like he was beside them.

But at the moment, their feet were already leading them on the way to the living room.

While walking, the three of them were still a bit muddled and didn't think much about the previous situations. They were only walking instinctively to the living room as in the first place, their goal was to meet with Jeremy.

Slowly, the trio entered the living room, then they spotted Jeremy sitting on the sofa while watching Attack on Giant.

When Charlotte was going to call out to Jeremy, she suddenly stopped... it was like she had just realized that she forgot something.

In fact, the three of them stopped at once altogether...

Because only now that they had finally realized something vital...

And that was, Jeremy was sitting on a sofa in the living room...

”...”

The 3 pairs of eyes of the trio went wide open.

They thought...

Then who the f*ck was the one that had unlocked the door for them before they came into the house!!

And then who the f*ck was the one that had talked to them a moment ago!!

Furthermore, they also felt that the air temperature was suddenly so cold... albeit not knowing that it was because of an air conditioner in the living room.

The trio started to shiver and have goosebumps all over their bodies.

At this moment, they were feeling more and more terrified with every passing second after thinking about the previous events.

They kept trembling and terrified like that for a short while until someone spoke up...

”Ja... Ja... Je... rem, A... A... Are you Ja... Ja... Je... rem? Or...?”

The ever stoic and solemn Owen decided to be the first person who opened his mouth after realizing that the other two were not coming to their senses yet.

Charlotte was standing blankly with her mouth gaping wide opened looking at Jeremy whom was watching the TV with his back facing them.

Meanwhile, Samuel was trembling from head to toe with a pale face as white as a sheet of paper together with clucking noises coming from his teeth clattering against one another nonstop.

And the one who had caused all of these effects, Jeremy, after hearing Owen's questions, he turned his head and body slowly, very very slowly to the back.

”...”

*Gulp*

*Huuk!*

With 3 different reactions from 3 different people. Charlotte was still blank like before, Owen gulped his saliva loudly, and Sam flinched with a scared expression written all over his face, he was almost pissing his pants.

Upon turning his head and half of his body to face the trio, Jeremy smiled warmly and talked mildly to them.

”Hi, guys. How are you guys doing lately?”

”...”
