Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Across the bed, two chairs stood between a wooden table beside the window that offered the view of the cityscape, and within the small gaps, it allowed the wind to make its way, creating a wave of sway curtains on it.

"This place was good. I am glad I chose this place".

"You are right, Hisako. Then, Soma and Hina, this place will be your room, and we will take the other one".

"Yes, thank you for the hospitality you give me".

"Okaaay".

Hina walks past the other before she jumps and dives toward the springy bed that bounces her body upward at the moment of contact. She buried herself within the comfort of the bed and invited a vein to appear on Hisako's forehead.

Hisako approached the bed Hina was in and spun her daughter around, facing the ceilings.

"Hina, watch your manners".

"Eeeh, no way. I am tired. I want to rest for a bit".

"Geez, this girl. At least change your clothes first".

"... Later.".

"Hina!..".

Hiroshi and Soma watched the event unfolding with a wry smile on their faces. Hiroshi then presented one of the black cards in his hands toward Soma and asked him to take it.

"Here is the card".

Soma extended his hands before receiving the keys with a nod of his head.

"Thank you".

"Don't mention it. Call us if there is anything you need. We will be staying in the other room beside. Hisako, let's go!".

"Okay, Dear. Hina, don't cause trouble for Soma".

"How could you say that to your own daughter".

"Zip it. Soma, please take care of her, okay?".

"Ahaha, Okay. I will".

As usual, the duo in front of her was nothing like how parents and daughters tend to act. From what he saw after the time he spent with the Akabane Family, Hisako, and Hina were like a pair of sisters who always bickering to each other but deep down carried a sense of deep affection which the family had.

"Then we will be off".

Hiroshi informs Soma for the last time as he and Hisako leave the room. The door creaked before it closed tightly, leaving a click sound that locked the door automatically.

"Finally, they are gone".

"Hina,,".

"Come on, just a bit. I want to rest".

"Fine..".

Soma resigned himself and took his phone out to check the time. It's past morning, approaching noon, as the clock shows 11.27 AM. He tinkered with his phone for a bit, placing a point dot on the map so that he could find the place. Tucked the phone back, Soma, with his black card in hands, approaching the door.

"Where are you going?".

Hina, who noticed Soma's movements, shifted her attention, then raised her body and opened her mouth.

"You rest here. I am going to take a stroll".

Soma replied briefly before sliding the black card toward the door terminal, and it showed a green light, accompanied by a clicking sound of the opened lock echoed in the room. Soma pushed the door lightly and managed to find his way out.

"Okay then, can you bring me some food".

"Okay, I will bring some. Here, hold the card".

"Woah. Be careful out there".

Hina with good reflexes catches the flying black card that Soma throws at her. She waved her hand before her figure was completely erased, as Soma closed the door.

Soma, in the deserted hallway, began to proceed toward the elevator. He pressed the button on the side of the elevator wall that would show him the way down. A moment later the door was opened and revealed an empty space, he entered inside before pressing the button that carried him to the lobby.

While waiting, Soma was tinkering with his phone while looking at the information regarding the floating island he currently resides in, trying to match up with the knowledge he acquired from reading the Novel.

Ark was a man-made island that formed a four-cardinal way as a base for a landing point for planes or ships that wanted to visit here. The four cardinal ways in this place are each of them named, representing the four heavenly beasts.

Black tortoise for the north, Azure Dragon on the east, Vermillion bird on the south, and White tiger on the West. Each of them also acts as a base of defense for the mainland that inhabits the middle section of the floating island where Hero Academy was built.

Each district is already considered as a city on its own.

Soma finally stepped outside from the hall as he gazed at the not-too-crowded street, and he found his way amongst the people who busied themselves with their world.

The row of a tall building filled his sight as he journeyed the street, letting his feet bring him to a certain place.

He gazed at his phone in and out while keeping his pace steady, then after walking for about thirty minutes, he found the place he wanted to visit.

"Finally arrived".

In front of him stood a humongous gate that resembled a Chinese downtown, standing tall with numerous people passing toward the gate. Whether it was in or out, the place was packed with people. The place he wanted to visit this time was a Market, as he tried to gather some information regarding the event that would be upheld later after the exam was finished.

The market bustles with a lot of people who wander around through the maze of stalls and shops. The merchant eagerly calls out to the passerby while showing which product they currently offer.

Soma scanned his surroundings and found many stalls on the street offering mainly a delicacy that enticed his empty stomach, and the thing he needed was mostly sold at the shops that also scattered across the bustling street.

Soma, using his phone as a means to show a way, kept alternating his gaze before he stopped at a certain shop that stood in the far corner of the market with its bleak appearance, with its two-story building painted in gray color in the middle of this lively and bustling atmosphere the market had. The store stood out like a sore thumb.

However, Soma knows the store's reputation from the novel. Despite its bleak appearance, the inside will give a good satisfaction for the person who dares to visit the store and challenge the unknown because the owner is not some ordinary man.

He pushed the wooden door inside, and it triggered the mechanism to ring the bell that hung on top of the door to give the person inside a warning of the incoming customer.

"Excuse me..".
