With his curiosity picked, Lorien had no interest in continuing to listen to the introduction Hisho was giving about the house, all he wanted to do now was to go inside and meet this unknown 'guest'.
As for what he'll do after then? That'll depend on the visitor and Lorien's arbitrariness!
So, with that in mind, Lorien turned his head toward Hisho who was still speaking very enthusiastically.
"There is a gym on the second floor, a separate...."
Feeling a bit speechless, Lorien couldn't help but quickly interrupt her with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for all of the information, however, let's keep the rest as a surprise, I like discovering new stuff on my own!"
Hearing this, Hisho immediately stopped dead in her track and turned her head toward Lorien to respond.
However, seeing him so up close and looking at the radiant smile on his face, she instantly fell into a daze her face quickly turning red.
"Ah, ye-yes!"
Seeing her stammer a bit, Lorien immediately reacted as a chuckle escaped his lips, however, he wasn't that surprised by this as he knew his own charm.
After awakening his ability, Lorien's 'charm' went through the roof greatly improving his already great looks and giving him his exotic features such as his silver hair, and golden eyes.
Otherwise, Lorien's relationship with girls wouldn't have been such smooth sailing most of the time.
After all, males aren't the only ones who are very interested in appearances, females are also the same it's just that they hide it better.
*Cough*
Coughing lightly, Lorien instantly woke Hisho up from her small trance causing her face to redden up like a tomato.
However, this only lasted for a moment before she reacted and returned to an indifferent state which attracted Lorien's appreciation.
"Alright then, here are the house keys; I'll be on my way, If there is anything you require, please do inform me!"
"Okay then, take care!"
Hearing Lorien's confirmation, Hisho gave a small bow before quickly getting into the car and 'fleeing'.
Seeing this, Lorien shook his head with a smile as he then made his way to the house while spinning the keys he just got on his finger.
'So, let's see who you are!'

Opening the door, Lorien then followed his senses and walked toward the presence's location.
Reaching it, he found himself in a big living room where a tall and slim man could be seen sitting on one of the couches.
He has long black hair partially tied up behind his head, wore a Buddhist robe, and had a smile on his face.
However, Lorien didn't like this smile one bit.
'It's too fake...'
It's just that this thought was quickly thrown aside as immediately afterward, he recognized this man.
'So it's him! Suguru Geto!'
Feeling surprised as well as confused, Lorien didn't know what was happening, after all, he had no interactions with the man and he didn't think that he did anything to attract his attention.
'Could it be because of what I did in Tunisia?'
'It could be about the techniques and bracelets I created, or it may be something else entirely...'
'However, even if that was the case, how did he get the information so fast, it has been only a month or so since those things got into use.'
Shaking his head, Lorien didn't bother guessing anymore, after all, he'll soon get the answer from the man himself.
However, just as he was about to walk to one of the couches to sit down, Geto suddenly spoke.
"Hello there, welcome to Japan! Please, have a seat."
Hearing this, Lorien paused for a moment as his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Oh∼∼ Welcoming me to my own house? that's quite interesting."
Responding with clear sarcasm in his voice, Lorien sat down on the couch opposite to the one Geto is sitting on as he started observing the man.
The first thing Lorien noticed was that there was a scar missing from Geto's forehead.
'Oh right, he hasn't gotten brain exchange surgery yet...'
'However, this may change today...'
Laying back comfortably, Lorien met Geto's eyes and questioned him.
"So, who are you, and what brings you to me at this late hour?"
"Oh, my bad, I haven't introduced myself, have I? Well, Nice to meet you Lorien, My name is Suguru Geto!"
Seeing the still 'friendly' look on Geto's face, Lorien decided to play along with him for a bit, so he responded.
"Hmmm, Nice to meet you, I'd introduce myself, but I see that you've already got that covered."
"Ah yes, I've read about you for a while now, and I have to say that you are quite impressive!"
"...Thank you I guess?"
"No, I am just speaking the truth! You are in possession of truly wonderful power, and I believe that such power is ought to be used toward great ends!"
Hearing this, Lorien almost facepalmed on the spot, he really had the urge to slash Geto on the spot right now.
'Is this guy here to recruit me into his weird band?'
However, not knowing or caring about what Lorien was thinking, Geto continued his speech with great enthusiasm.
"Have you ever questioned the current state of the world?
This world where Jujutsu Sorcerers act in secret in order to protect the order of commonplace society.
I think you have, after all, I've seen what you've done in that country and how you dealt with those monkeys who blocked your path!"
Saying this, Geto straightened his back before continuing.
"You see, there's this established paradox saying that the strong should accommodate the weak; It's deplorable!
The apex of all creation has halted its own path of evolution.
It's high time mankind should reconsider its strategy for survival!
Which is why we'd like you to join us!"
"Hmmm, Join what?" responded Lorien looking somewhat interested, however, if one were to look closely, they'll notice the sarcasm hidden in his eyes.
It's just that Geto didn't notice this as he quickly continued his speech.
"You see, we're going to kill all non-sorcerers and create a world with only jujutsu sorcerers!"
Pausing for a moment, a cursed creature appeared on his shoulder as a circular object fell from its mouth and into Geto's hand.
"We are very interested in your power, especially this thing you created!"
Seeing this object in front of him, Lorien's careless and sarcastic attitude was immediately thrown away.
Immediately sitting upright, his face quickly changed from slight interest to indifference, and hidden deep in this indifference was bone-chilling killing intent!
If there is something Lorien hated most, that would be someone touching his things without permission, and it just happens that Geto did just that.
