《I Will Be Recognized》62. Just a Friend

'I need to know who manufactured these beds.' I thought while I continued treating it like a trampoline.
All of a sudden, the doors opened so I hurriedly dived headfirst to the floor. I didn't care if my neck broke but absolutely no one could ever witness me in such a state. Even though there was a higher chance of the floor breaking instead of my neck, I didn't care.
"Daniel? Why are you kissing the floor?" I heard.
This childish girly voice, was it Rachel? And why in the world would you assume I'm kissing the floor? Isn't it obvious that I fell on the ground.
"Rachel? What is it?" I said while getting up with one arm over my neck as if pretending I was a bit sore.
"I figured I should show you around since you are going to be here for a while... But it seems I interrupted you while you were... uh." She didn't seem to be able to form the right words.
It only took me a bit to infer what she was trying to get at.
"Haha, don't worry. I swear on Sam's life that I do not have a floor fetish."
"Pfft, if you're going to swear to the gods, swear on your behalf, not Sam. Anyway, let's go. I'll show you around and it's also almost time for dinner." She said.
What do you mean swear on my behalf? I groomed the boy to become the man he was today! Besides, as a hero with overpowered plot armor, I don't even think it was possible for him to die.
I tidied up my shirt and followed Rachel. After descending the stairs and reaching the ground floor, we headed down a hallway which led to more stairs. After descending down to the basement which was a long hallway, we made our way to a room with double doors at the far end. Rachel put her hand on a pad next to the doors and after hearing a beep, she shoved the doors open and the lights immediately turned on.

"This is my home gym! Isn't it amazing?" She said proudly.
Of course it was the gym first. Now that I think of it, I had never seen her anywhere other than the gym, classes, and the cafeteria while we were at school. I guess I shouldn't have expected any type of grand tour around a massive mansion like this.
She grabbed my arm and pulled me along.
"Look, this is the brand new invention created by the master of The Wizard's Tower. She's an amazing person and she was also the one who gave me advice in designing the gym! It's a machine meant for face pulls! Look! These are called resistance bands. They are perfect for warming up the ligaments and tendons in the body!" She started chattering on by herself. Whenever it came to gym stuff like this, she would suddenly change into an unstoppable fanatic.
Oddly enough, I thought her school gym's equipment were just coincidentally similar to those from my previous world. But now that I saw these, I knew there was something I was missing. I had considered it before and it was probably very likely. There must be various other reincarnated individuals from Earth as well. It would explain the similar types of dishes as well as inventions which utilized scientific knowledge far beyond this current era which should only be limited to somewhere around the medieval ages. The master of The Wizard's Tower... I remember hearing about her during my time at the Wizarding Academy. I should definitely pay a visit to her in the future to confirm my suspicions.

"What? She brought him into the private room? Are you sure that information is correct?" I was completely stunned. Never had I in my entire life seen someone other than the master himself and Miss Rachel enter that forbidden room. I had inquired about the room to the master before but the only thing that he said back to me was that no one but Miss Rachel was permitted to enter that room.

I had heard many stories surrounding that particular room. One time, a certain maid was found to have caught a peek inside the room when Miss Rachel opened the doors. She was soon fired and never to be heard of again. I didn't know what secret the master was trying to hide in that room but I knew it was something extremely important.
'I must report to the master at once!' Thinking that, I told the security guy to keep quiet about it and left the control room that was filled with camera screens everywhere.
I knocked on the doors and upon hearing my master's voice I entered the room and spilled the information.
I had expected the master to react in aggravation but he acted rather contrary to that.
He calmly said. "Is that so."
It was as if he had already known it was going to happen.
"Should we reprimand him later?" I asked.
"No, leave him alone. He is an exception. If that is all, continue researching him." He said with a smile. What? Why was he smiling? As the head butler, I knew the master very well and smiling was an extremely rare occasion. If anything, shouldn't he be mad that an outsider went into that forbidden room? Were the contents inside the room not so secret or valuable after all? Just what was happening?!?!?!
—Ross's PoV—
So it has come to this point huh. Since my daughter trusts this boy so much, even to the point of letting him intrude during her training time... She definitely saw something special in this boy. When that girl of mine was confident in her decision, she was always right. It was scary I will admit, but it was a talent that allowed her to shine. It was almost as if she knew the future...
Anyway, in all my years of life, I had never seen nor heard of Rachel getting close to anyone at all. Other than the times she was training alone, I had almost never seen her with a happy expression. Even though I had yet to meet the boy, I could already tell that they were getting along quite well.
"Margaret, our daughter has finally found a friend." I couldn't help but to say that even though there was no one else in the room to hear it. I didn't know why but tears started forming in my eyes as I thought of my first wife.
"Yes, he was just a friend..." I assured myself while sniffling a bit.
"Margaret, our daughter has grown up."
