Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

The lone full moon hung above at night, accompanied by many twinkling stars scattered across the dark sky. Aldo, who enjoyed his glass of wine, cast a sigh, which was unusual for him.

He is currently inside the VIP room of one of the famous restaurants in Rome, waiting for his business partner. He twirls the glass in his hand as he looks at the scenery separated by the transparent glass that faintly reflects his figure.

"Boss, the guests are here!".

"Let him in".

"Understood".

After getting permission from Aldo, the bulky man hurriedly guided the guests inside, and Aldo stood from his seat to welcome him.

"Sir, plese inside".

"...".

Aldo could hear the conversation behind the veil that covered the place. The man who entered was a man in his forties with black hair that swept back with a tinge of grey hair on his sidelines. His posture was straight, filled with dignity. The sharp eyes with blue pupils raised the tension in the room upon his arrival.

The caucasian man wears a Black suit as he approaches Aldo in a confident gait.

"Pleasure to meet you, Mister Damian".

"Pleasure is mine, Mister Aldo".

Both of them simultaneously shake hands with each other before Aldo gestures to Damian to take a seat.

As the two of them sit, Aldo begins to tell his subordinates to serve the dish, and while they are waiting, they start to discuss their potential partner in the long term.

The negotiation itself flowed perfectly until the dish arrived. The entree that had been prepared and the dish was made from the sea.

"Mister Damian, would you not mind eating Sea creature?".

"Ahaha, Why would I? I like the sea the most".

"I am glad to hear that".

While eating, they occasionally slipped on some jokes to lighten the mood and continued the negotiation, finally finding a deal for both of them.

"Then Mister Aldo I am afraid I still have something to do after this, the dish was superb. Thank you for inviting me to this place".

"Oh, no. The pleasure is mine. Thank you for coming to this place. I am looking forward to being a business partner with you".

"Me too, as for the matter you ask. I will let my subordinate send it to your accommodation".

Aldo's face beamed in joy Hearing that term. He never thought that one of his desires could be fulfilled here.

They exchange their last handshake before Damian leaves the restaurant, leaving Aldo, who keeps looking at his figure until it disappears.

Meanwhile, Damian, who left the restaurant, exchanged looks with his subordinates, a beautiful female in her mid-twenties wearing a black suit.

"Anna, How was it?".

After entering the limousine that awaits their arrival. They began to ride off from the building.

"Yes I am sorry, Sir. It seems there is a slight mistake".

"...What happened?".

Damian eyes knitted, which made Anna's body twitch in fright at the pressure he exuded.

"It was certainly there when it was in the afternoon. But it suddenly vanished".

"...".

Anna explained the details carefully so that Damian would not get offended, for this is what he is dreaming of.

"Find It!".

"Understood, I will certainly bring it back to you, Hm?!".

"... What's the matter?".

"No, I capture the signal".

One of Anna's eyes was glowing in blood color while looking at a certain distance. She could feel the undulating aura from the thing she searched for but didn't know where it was exactly. "So, it has fallen to another person's hand. That's rather easy".

"Lord Damian, I will certainly bring it to you".

"Don't disappoint me!".

"Understood".

***

One week had passed since Soma and his gang stayed in Serafina's mansion. It also includes Lucy. Her schedule, which should have been leaving today, got cancelled three days ahead because of her parents' busy schedule.

So, she decided to stay in the mansion for the next three days. She was also still worried about something.

Soma and the gangs spent this week just venturing into the dungeon in the Colosseum and enjoying the city, creating many memories in their photo.

Today also is not an exception. Soma and the gangs, who decided to end the exploration early on, came out of the dungeon.

"Soma what will you do from here?".

Hina, who was wearing her uniform, walked by his side.

"Don't know, maybe training in the field of mansion".

"Can I come?".

"Sure Xiao Lian, you are always welcome".

Xiao Lian pumped her fist in front of her while walking on the other side of Soma.

Serafina, Lucy could only stare, dumbfounded by the youngster's plan. Serafina especially invited the others to this place for no other than holidays, but they all spent their days training and dungeon diving. If it's like that, their schedule was the same as that of the Academy elite forces.

While on their way toward the town square. Lucy and Serafina start to buy some souvenirs and snacks for the groups.

The girls began to happily follow in their footsteps because of their diligence in diving into the dungeon. The girls had their own money to buy something they wanted. It is, in contrast, a bit different to Soma, who still didn't buy anything when he arrived here, except for food and to treat the other.

"Should I buy some souvenirs for my acquaintance?".

However, after thinking it through, he realised the holiday in this place was still long. He and the girls decide to stay for a month in this place because of the existence of the dungeon and the beautiful place filled with cultural depth.

After they finished their splurging, Soma, who walked in front while holding a loaf of bread, wondered if he should eat it, but seeing many people didn't do it, he stored it in his relics.

"Good afternoon ladies! We meet again in this place, sure it was fate brought us together…".

Soma, who had seen the same man again that day this past week, sighed in resignation for his persistent nature in taking Serafina's hand.

"Haaa".

He could also hear a loud sigh coming from Serafina with a languid expression on her face. Soma, Hina and Xiao Lian began to step back slightly and decided not to involve themselves with this. Initially, Soma and the girls tried to intervene, but Serafina blocked their attempts and insisted that she would finish this matter alone.

"What do you want, Aldo?".

Aldo, who had been addressed by his Goddess, beamed and stood in front of her with a confident smile.

"No. I just slightly feel awe seeing your diligent nature that always trains in the dungeon despite your holiday time".

"...".

Serafina slightly turned her gaze to Soma, who was eating the bread he had received from her earlier. "That's bad manners, you know". She sighed, throwing her complaint at Soma, who kept asking her to go to the dungeon.

The truth is she does not want any part of this. There is also the part when Aldo would come.

But she reluctantly came with them when she felt she would be left alone in the house.

"Haaa, I'm sorry to say this Aldo. But, no matter what you said. I will never consider myself as your partner, ever!".

"...".

Serafina's harsh words escaped her lips, which made the tension rise between the two parties. This was already more than the seven times she said the same things every day.

"But, why? I am serious with this, you know?".

"Sorry, but I can't picture myself with you".

"Can you please elaborate what is lacking about me? I will try to fix it for you".

"It was not about that. I just can't seem to picture myself with you that's all".

"Serafina, can you please consider it?".

The discussion had slightly turned heated and had no end with the same repetitive phrase. Many eyes from the surrounding crowds began to gather at the two groups.

Soma, who finished with his bread, noticed the black limousine that he recognised.

However, looking at them, he sees that they still don't want to back out from each other.

He sighs and turns his gaze to Hina; their eyes meet coincidentally. She shrugged her shoulders with a wry smile on her face, gesturing to him to help her.

With no other option but to get his girlfriend's acceptance, he stepped forward within the many pairs of eyes that observed them.

"I'm sorry, but our car has arrived and we will leave. Hurry Sera! Senior too!".

"Wha?!".

"?!".

Serafina let out a cute yelp, feeling Soma's firm and strong hand gripping her palm, interlocking their finger. With their same stature, Serafina looked at Soma's calm face in shock, and gradually, it turned flush because of his bold action.

Lucy, who stood beside them, covered her open jaw, witnessing a situation that looked like a Drama that came into reality. She is shivering hot, seeing this scene where one girl gets attention from two handsome men.

They were looking at the chance where everyone was gasping, looking at their groups. Soma dragged Serafina, followed by Hina and Xiao Lian, who smiled wryly from behind.

"Mr Soma is there any problem?".

"Nothing".

The one who picked them up is Alan, after looking at the people's reaction around them and the flushed Serafina. He slightly got the gist of it.

"Wait, Soma, what's the meaning of this?".

"Hurry up and enter".

"Eh? Ehh?!".

"Hina, You too Xiao Lian. Senior Lucy hurried up and get inside!".

"Okay!".

Lucy, who snapped back to reality, bid her farewell to Aldo and his subordinates, who stood dumbfounded and entered the limousine.

After ensuring everyone has entered, Soma enters last, ending the afternoon drama in the town square.

"We will depart".

The limousine began to ride along the road, leaving the scene.
