Raff looked at Hayato with a confused expression. "Which small kingdom does Rhymus belong to?"

"Small kingdom? Ruttera is one of the big kingdoms on the Westle Continent, don't you know that even though you live on the Westle Continent?" asked Hayato while raising his forehead.

"Ruttera? A great kingdom? It's impossible that I don't know its name if it's a big kingdom. I've traveled the entire continent of this world with my group. I know every major kingdom on the western continent," Raff declared.

"What a liar. Which great kingdom on the Westle Continent do you know?" asked Hayato in a mocking tone.

"The greatest kingdom on the Westle Continent that I know of is Terraxia, and there are six other great kingdoms," Raff replied, remembering the times when he traveled around the world to gather strength to face Xavier.

Hayato's face turned shocked. "Impossible. How do you know so much about the forbidden knowledge of the Acedia era? Where did you learn about it?"

"Huh? Forbidden knowledge? What do you mean?" asked Raff. "Don't confuse me any more, my head might explode later," Raff grumbled as he resumed his steps. "I was accused of being a serial killer, now I'm meeting a freak."

"Rex Chivara, the Sword of Justice. The only person in the world who can use the highest level of fire element magic, the White Flame of the Ivle Continent," Hayato said.

At that moment, Raff's footsteps stopped. He immediately turned around and looked into Hayato's face, who was still standing. "Do you know Rex?" asked Raff with a shocked face.

"Yes. He is the leader of the Neutron Party that defeated Demon King Xavier in the Acedia Era," Hayato replied.

"I thought you were just joking when you talked about Neutron," Raff said happily.

"I still don't understand your reaction," Hayato muttered while scowling.

"If you know Rex, perhaps you know the way to the Lotus Kingdom from this Ruttera," Raff said as he approached. "I was somehow transported here by Rex and the others when I fell asleep last night. I want to avenge their trick at once."

Hayato gave Raff a sharp look, "I don't understand what you're saying. If you know about Neutron, then you should also know that the Lotus Kingdom was destroyed two thousand years ago."

Now it was Raff's turn to look surprised, "What did you say?" Raff was silent for a moment to digest Hayato's words. He began to look at Hayato's face, which showed no doubt from his words before.

"Hahaha... I know that we and the public have agreed to destroy Xavier's golden palace in the Lotus Kingdom. But that's still a month away, last night I still slept in the palace," Raff said with a laugh. He was sure that Hayato had gotten wrong information about the destruction of the Lotus Kingdom.

"I don't know what you mean. But the Lotus Kingdom was indeed destroyed two thousand years ago, at the end of the Acedia Era. Even the location of the ruins is unknown where it is today," Hayato said with a serious face. "How exactly do you know about the Kingdom of Lotus, Neutron and Terraxia?"

But Raff still seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter and ignored Hayato's words. "I know that the Acedia Era did indeed end after Xavier's death. We also agreed to start the Avaritia Era, the destruction of the Lotus Kingdom was indeed agreed upon to start a new civilization with all the resources left in Xavier's power."

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"You know this information quite well, even though it hasn't been announced to the general public," Raff continued while he patted Hayato's shoulder.

"The Avaritia Era? That era ended a thousand years ago when the demon king Luminer was defeated by the holy hero," Hayato said in a serious tone. "You better answer my question, how do you know about the events of the Acedia Era? Who is your teacher?" Hayato asked again.

Raff's smile stopped when he heard Hayato's serious words. "What did you say? Demon King Luminaire? The Avaritia era is over?" Raff asked.

"Yes. The Avaritia Era ended a thousand years ago, it is currently the thousandth year of the Superbia Era," Hayato explained. "Wait, you know the forbidden history of the Acedia Era, but you don't know the history of the Avaritia Era?"

Raff was instantly thoughtful, the sound of his laughter suddenly silenced. His shadowy gaze began to turn to stare at the sky. His mind tried to digest what had just happened. The images of his colleagues returned to his mind.

"Rex, Lyn, Alicia, Anna, Lou, Vish, Ryuu, what exactly is going on in this world right now?" Raff muttered, calling out to the other seven members of the Neutron party as he looked up at the night sky.

"This guy knows all the Neutron members? No way, is he really someone from the Acedia era?" Hayato thought while looking at Raff who was looking at the sky.

"I still don't believe you. Show me the proof if the era of Acedia and Avaritia has really ended," Raff said after a long moment.

Hayato started to think about the right proof for Raff that the era of Acedia had ended. Hayato's mind remembered some of the history books he had read before. "Do you believe it now? This is the gold coin of the Ruttera Kingdom," Hayato asked, showing a gold coin from his small bag.

Raff's eyes widened when he saw that the gold coin in Hayato's hand was different from the one he knew. The gold coin in Hayato's hand had been transferred to Raff's hand in a short time. He seemed to be examining the gold coin and flipped it several times. The look on Raff's face changed drastically.

Raff's whole body felt weak, his heartbeat began to beat irregularly. "No way," Raff said quietly.

Money has been important since Raff was born into this world. For four thousand years, Xavier has always monopolized the distribution of money throughout the world. All kingdoms in the world must use the same gold, silver, and platinum coins. If anyone violates this rule, his kingdom will be destroyed.

The financial system of the Acedia Era was completely controlled by Xavier, and Rex and the others agreed to maintain the system for the next five years. Since it was impossible to change it in an instant, it made Raff even more convinced that he was no longer in the Acedia Era.

"There can't be a kingdom in this world that escapes Xavier's supervision," Raff muttered quietly as he handed the gold coin in his hand to Hayato.

"Finally, this stubborn guy believes," Hayato thought with a deep sigh.

"Unbelievable, how can I exist in the future? Is this all Xavier's doing?" said Raff while sitting on the ground.

"I want to confirm one thing with you, are you really from the Acedia Era?" asked Hayato while sitting down.

"Yes, I live in the Acedia Era. It feels like a dream to me, even though I just defeated Xavier a few days ago. But the evidence is too strong to be denied, after all, the atmosphere in this city alone is very strange to me," Raff replied with a deep sigh.

"This guy, he says he's part of the Neutron Party that defeated Xavier," Hayato thought with a confused look on his face. "Are you the maid of Party Neutron?" asked Hayato seriously.

“You're asking me to fight, huh? I told you that I'm a member of Party Neutron! Instead, you think I'm their maid," Raff grumbled with an annoyed look on his face.

"But in any story, there are only seven Neutron members, Rex Chivara, Lou Xi, Vish, Alicia Tossilis, Anna Wizteria, Lyn Grisvil and someone who might be like me, Ryuu Fukuya," Hayato explained.

Raff was a little surprised to hear Hayato mention the full names of his seven friends, but he couldn't help but laugh at Hayato's last sentence. "Hahaha ... who do you mean, someone like you?" asked Raff.

"Ryuu Fukuya. I'm sure he's a person like me, even though our statuses are different. He's probably destined to be an NPC in this world while I'm the main character, it's too bad he wasn't destined to be in the same era as me," Hayato replied with a serious look.

"Hahaha ... it turns out that you really are a freak. Insulting me doesn't include Neutron, but you even equate yourself with one of his members," Raff said with a laugh.
