"I have just started my search, so you are the second guy that I have met that is like me, and the third that I have heard," Icarus said. "So, we can assume that there are a few more of us. Given that, I would like to ask for your assistance now and then and your word that you won't do anything against the people of this world and others like us."
"I didn't think you were that thoughtful," Billy said.
"If we cause problems to the people of this world, they eventually will see us as enemies," Icarus explained. "It would be counterproductive to cause them problems when we want to live in peace. Considering what you have done, you don't have anything against the people of this world, but you still must fear people like us. Fear of our secret being leaked, fear of being targeted because of your powers… I understand those as well."
Icarus was looking down when he said that, he was either a good actor or he also feared the same things as Billy. He couldn't trust the guy that easily, but since he didn't know any bad rumors about him and he also warned him about another reincarnated individual, he at least didn't have to be so wary of him.
"I am kind of a busy person, so I won't be able to help much," Billy said. "Still, if you need a hand to take down some assholes, I wouldn't mind helping it."
"I suppose we can also face those that might become our enemies together, but before that happens, we should look for others that think like us," Icarus said. "For now, you can help me by teaching me how to use mana more effectively. You have a lot more than me, right?"
"What am I going to gain by teaching you anything?" Billy asked.
"Can't you help a fellow earthling for free?" Icarus asked.
"Hell no," Billy replied.
"Well, this is for the best, right?" Icarus asked. "It would be weird if we cooperate with each other with no questions asked so soon. For now, I suppose there isn't anything that I can give you, but i hope you can be more cooperative the next time I show up with more information."
"If you find a few dozen magic items of the old era, then that can suffice as well," Billy said.
"A few dozen… You sure drive a hard bargain," Icarus said. "Well, see you later."
After that, Icarus left the area even faster than lightning. Billy could have asked for the item or skill he had that could hide his status and skills, but that probably would be too much to ask for so soon. Regardless, Billy returned to the inn and slept after thinking for a while about the future. He probably could avoid confrontation with some of the reincarnated people, but not with all of them… humans were that difficult. Give them the power to achieve many things and then they will show their true selves. From Billy's perspective, they should enjoy their second lives more since they should be aware how easily someone can die, but instead of accepting the second life as a gift, they took it for granted and now they want to use their knowledge and power to rule over others. It would be fine if they wanted to do that reasonably and improve that world, but since most of them only wanted to stroke their egos…
The next day, pretty much everyone aside from Billy, Anna, and the kids were suffering from hangover, a perfect opportunity to enjoy a vehicle moving at high speeds. Still, Billy gave them some time to rest until night before they began the trip back.
"That was some fight, Billy," Svan said. "I can't believe it that you still won."
"I was lucky, I guess," Billy said. "Still, our duel wasn't bad either. Maybe next time it will be even more fun."
"I don't know… I think I am getting old and I have already fallen behind," Svan said.
"Well, you are the one who decides your limits," Billy said. "What about you, Marie?"
"I will travel around for a while longer before returning home," Marie replied.
"Take care, elder sister," Pierre said.
"You too," Marie said. "Try not to die of boredom with your work."
"Have a safe trip back home… you all," Ilfa said.
"Thank you for your hospitality," Billy said and then smiled. "See you around."
Kate and Natalie stepped on both of his feet since he was being too chummy… at least they thought that was the case. Unfortunately, Billy couldn't complain. After marrying twice, they had all the rights to be wary of Billy when he was around other girls. They were fine with each other, but they probably will get mad if Billy brings another girl home… He was quite the horny fellow, but he wasn't a sex beast. So, he wished that they had more faith in him. Besides, it wasn't like everyone could make his heart beat faster.
In any case, the trip back home had been pretty calm. After a few days of camping and nights of travelling, they made some good memories along the way, but soon the group began to split. First Rosalie and Gilles left, and then they headed North to take Aura home. Once back at the capital, Jean and Pierre left. After that, Billy took the rest of the family back to their hometown. Once again, Billy felt like a bus driver, but this time he had a lot more fun while talking with everyone since he knew that he will have a lot of free time in the next few months. He tried to make his kids say grandma or grandpa, but that didn't work… Maybe next time it will.
Once Billy and his wives were back home, they felt truly relaxed. Even though they returned at noon, they slept until the next day… That usually happens after those long trips.
