Chapter 403: Abyss Lord Chapter Three Encounter in the Mountain
AN: It’s a chapter for laying down groundwork, so I think you might find the story hard to understand, but the circumstance will be made clear gradually, so I ask for your patience!
「I shall decline.」
A stern voice echoed inside the quiet Japanese room.
A man past middle age was sitting in admirable seiza posture at the seat of honor.
He was casually wearing a kimono that was obviously high quality from a glance as though it was an everyday clothes. There was no restlessness at all that could be felt from him. It was as though he was wearing tranquility and solemnity like his outfit.
He had a medium build and his physique wasn’t particularly well built, but the way he seiza gave an impression of a giant rock that was fixed in place to his talking partner.
That atmosphere and gaze that was like a calm lake, together with his voice made the gulping sound that the other person made to resound louder than it actually was.
From the side, he looked completely overwhelmed by this person.
Looking only from the age, he was far older than the man sitting on the seat of honor. The white haired old man was also wearing Japanese clothes and there was dignity that corresponded to how long he had lived hiding inside him, even so he looked small when in the presence of this middle aged man.
