Chương 173: This Hero Awakens!

Something feels rather familiar.

I've returned to consciousness, though I haven't opened my eyes yet. From the sensation on my body, I'm on a bed.

Huh… I haven't slept in a bed for a few days. This is actually quite the pleasant feeling.

Wait…

WAIT!

WHERE AM I?

I bolted my eyes open, ripping the rheum that had accumulated over my eyelids away as my vision was filled with the familiar room.

"The church again…?" I asked as I placed my hand against my head. The sunlight that was pouring through the stained glass shone a bright amber.

"Ah, you're awake! You startled me quite a bit there, Kenji-dono!" A voice that held the air of age called out to my left. I immediately turned to look at the source and felt my entire body seize up.

The lord of Ruks.Lord Jyado Kistrin Bares.

"A-Ah… Um…" I struggled to find something to say, but Lord Bares waved his hand and smiled.
