Culmination Records - Chapter 4
Before half of the time duration went down, the servants he commanded completed the task he told them to, and Eddra finished his very first side quest.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
One after the other, four plates floated before his eyes while he was putting on a black doublet, which had patterns embroidered in silver, with the help of Gale. Fixing the doublet as he shrugged his shoulders, Eddra read the contents of the first cascading three plates.
[You have completed the Side Quest (1/2)!]
[You have received 10 EXP!]
[You have received an item!]
Allowing the butler to secure the cravat on his neck, he moved his head slightly on the side to read the last plate.
[Do you want to begin the Tutorial? Yes/No]
Eddra stared intently at the choices after the question. The image of the occurrence before he went in this damn dream forcedly flashed its way to his mind.
He was certain he declined its offer yet it told him he pressed [Yes]. Now to solve the mystery of the plate, he thought of pressing the same choice as he did that time.
Ding!
[You have declined the Tutorial.]
‘Huh..? It says I declined it.’ The plate informing his refusal made him rethink what really happened at that time. Did his fingers perhaps slide through the choice, which caused him to enter this dream? It might be the other reason.
“What does it mean by… Tutorial?” Eddra mumbled behind his breath.
Ding!
[Do you want to begin the Tutorial? Yes/No]
“Ack!” Curse the unexpected appearance of the plate. Why would the same plate he declined earlier appeared in front of his face again?
Glaring on simply nothingness, Gale slowly removed his hands on the cravat with wrinkles on his forehead.
“What?”
“Did you… What were you doing, Milord?” Gale stuttered, wrinkles across his forehead.
“Nothing. It was nothing,” Eddra simply answered.
“Milord,” Gale coughed, brushing his master’s shoulder. “… Let’s meet the family in the dining area.”
The butler was, for certain, bewildered from his sudden change in behavior. However, Eddra was much more puzzled than the butler. To be able to enter such a realistic dream, not to mention, with the hunting disturbance of a translucent plate… Who would not be troubled by this occurrence?
Nonetheless, Eddra stealthily pressed [Yes] on the plate without the butler knowing.
Following Gale as he accompanied him through the dining room, when he set foot on the end of the stairs, a small physique, which height was only up to his waist, ran toward him while squealing.
“I see. The Lady impatiently wants to greet her brother first.” Gale chuckled as he made a way for the running girl.
“Older brother!” Within a flash, she reached for him and bear upon his thigh. “Congratulations on becoming a… an… I forgot what it is.” Allie pouted her lips from forgetting the last word.
A smile drawn to his lips, Eddra patted her youngest sister’s head. “Regardless, thank you, Allie.”
Removing her hands on holding his brother’s thigh, Allie reached on his hand instead. With a stronghold on her older brother’s hand, she hummed while she walked beside him.
Ding!
[To open the status plate, state ‘Status’.]
“… Status,” Eddra lowly whispered, making sure not to be heard by his sister and the butler.

Slowly reading the contents of what the [System] called [Status], Eddra was somehow annoyed when he saw the single digit in his [Luck].
Ding!
[You can use the ‘Remaining Stat Point(s)’ to increase the ‘Base Stats’]
With no hesitation in his mind, Eddra immediately pressed the plus sign next to the single-digit [Luck] after reading the information from the other plate which popped before his eyes. Seeing the low number went up to 4, a smug expression was drawn on his face.
“… Older bro, are you not well?” His adorable sister asked that instantly washed away the expression on his face.
“I’m well. Just excited for the meal.”
Ding!
[To hide the status plate, state ‘Hide Status’.]
“[Hide Status],” Eddra mumbled behind his breath. So, this was the reason why the [Tutorial] appeared again in front of his face after declining it earlier.
