My Bothersome Life - Chapter 386
“It hasn’t been twenty four hours yet!” I cried trying to grab the headgear from Lucius.
“My turn was supposed to be twenty four hours. It isn’t fair to take it away after five hours!” I turned to the juggler to accuse him.
“You could have taken more time to try to find your target! And if you wanted to play the game before your turn, you could have stolen a headgear from another mansion that has one!” I continued to try to swipe the headgear.
“Rika!” Luke tried to calm me down.
“I’m only on level 30! I need to level up,” I struggled to shake Luke’s hands off me.
“Is this why you have no headgears inside the mansion?” The juggler watched the scene.
“You can take your turn now,” Lucius sighed before passing the console to him.
“My headgear!” I screamed while Lucius led him to a bedroom that the juggler could rest in.
Only Luke and I remained in one of the many living rooms. Trying to convince me to let go of the headgear, Luke ordered me some cake. I haven’t eaten yet today, immediately entering the game when I found the chance.
“Rika, you need to eat,” Luke passed me some cake.
“I don’t need to eat. I need to collect my harem and level up to defeat the demon king,” I mumbled.
Wait. Wasn’t this the perfect chance to get rid of the juggler while he was inside the game? He wouldn’t be able to move and once he’s gone, I would have the headgear to myself. I wouldn’t have to take turns anymore.
“We should kill the juggler!” I scooped some cake onto my fork.
“We should have a plan with Lucius first, he’s still a A-class mons-.”
I didn’t bother listening to Luke and sprinted to run to the bedroom where the juggler was inside. Lucius was still inside the room, looking at the juggler who was unable to move from entering the game. I brightly smiled as I pushed him out of the way. I raised my arm and poured around half of my mana into the spell while chanting, “nuclear bomb.”
The juggler had to die from this spell. Lucius grabbed my hand, pulling me to run away with him before the spell activated. He looked at me as if I was a crazy person for trying to destroy the entire section of the mansion. Getting dragged away by him, I continued to look behind to see how big the impact would be.
My ears almost bled from the noise as the mansion started to collapse with multiple aftereffects from my efforts. Thinking a simple nuclear bomb wouldn’t be enough, I attached smaller bombs together so some of them would be thrown in other directions once the one in the middle exploded. I needed to make sure the range would be wider since the juggler could have escaped.
By the time all the explosions finished, half of the mansion was destroyed. Meanwhile, the juggler slowly floated into the air with the undamaged headgear on him. It seemed that most of his hp was down as he flickered in and out, making him easier to kill at this state. I tsked as I expected him to die. I guessed A-class monsters weren’t easy to kill after all.
“This is what you get for taking my turn!” I started to crazily laugh.
“You shouldn’t have taken away my headgear!” I raised my unoccupied hand to aim at him with another spell.
“You already had five hours!” He dodged my laser beam.
“Five hours isn’t enough to level up! I was in the middle of taking more pictures of Muimeme!” I shot more laser beams towards him.
“My harem!” I decided to add in some tornados.
“My Muimeme!” I made lightning crash down from the sky.
“You’re going to kill me at this rate!” He tried to defend himself by juggling some shields.
“Why? Why shouldn’t you die? If you die, the headgear becomes all mine!” I wondered if I should add some pressurized shots of air into the mix.
“I’ll give you the headgear back!” He yelled while struggling to keep up his shields.
“How do I know you won’t take it back from me?” I poured more mana into my spells.
I had already separated from Lucius, chasing after the juggler to get the headgear in my hands again. The entire mansion was filled with lake pools of water with electricity cursing in them, holes in the walls from the laser beams, tornados spinning in the garden and fire on some parts of the grass. Luke had also escaped from the mansion, watching the entire chase from a safer place.
“Do you think I’ll try to take it back from you to repeat this?” He shuddered.
“Who knows,” I didn’t believe him.
After seeing he was on the edge of dying, I decided to be generous and come to a truce. He was almost transparent compared to being solid black before my turn. I gestured to him to come to a safe location, still ready to chant another spell in case he would go back on his word.
“Here’s the headgear,” the juggler passed to me.
“Thank you, you should have done this in the first place,” I smiled.
After taking the headgear from him, I reached out my hand to shake his, showing we have come to an agreement. Today was a very lucky day.
