My Bothersome Life - Chapter 388
“My headgear,” I whimpered.
“Rika, it’s already been past the nineteen hours. It’s been around thirty hours!” Luke took the headgear away from me when I fainted inside the game.
“Can I at least enter that room again?” I looked up to him with tears in my eyes.
“We’ll be going to the Suilett mansion now that you’re awake,” he tried to pull me up.
“I can’t live without leveling up,” I looked at Ben for help.
“That room isn’t available anymore,” Ben quickly turned to the other direction.
“But I don’t want to destroy your mansion too,” I wondered if I should use another spell to open that room.
“Rika! You have to eat, it’s been more than a day since you’ve eaten anything,” Luke noticed how serious my addiction was getting.
“Eating and sleeping are for people who can’t level up!” I almost yelled.
“Explosion!” I chanted while raising my hand in the air.
Ben’s eyes widened before he prepared to sprint to avoid the spell. Meanwhile, Luke quickly came to his senses to pull me away with him. They didn’t know I was doing the spell on a smaller scale as this one would only destroy the door to that room. While being dragged on ground, I sighed when I accidentally poured too much mana into the spell. Since it has been three days since I almost exhausted all my mana, it had nearly completely recovered.
The whole floor rumbled, making the floors crack. Some of the walls began to slide while other furniture began to fall onto the floor below. However, the roof didn’t collapse like the rest of the floor, making the main structure of the mansion still stable. And fortunately, the room I wanted to spare was relatively unharmed since it wasn’t the main target. Only the door had been shattered, wide open for anyone to enter.
“I can go inside that room now!” I smiled.
“We can compensate you for your losses,” Luke shot an apologetic glance to Ben.
“Rika! You’re not going to that room. We’re going to the Suilett mansion now!” He turned to me.
“But I killed two other A-class monsters,” I pointed out some black puddles of goo.
“Shouldn’t you be thanking me for this?” I felt lucky I had a decent excuse to stay.
While playing the game, I actually got interrupted a few times. The dancer came all the way here to warn us that the magician would be coming soon. But I had a game to play. Feeling she was being annoying, preventing me from continuing the game, I stuffed a nuclear bomb spell into her body. And with the tightest control on the spell as possible, I tried not to destroy the rest of the precious gaming equipment along with the spell.
Afterwards, the musician came to avenge her friend with anger present in her eyes. But since I was experienced this time, I stuffed another bomb into her before she could react. With all the distractions gone, I laid back into the gaming pod to take more pictures of Muimeme inside the game. However, both Luke and Ben didn’t know about this since they didn’t enter the room.
“Who did you kill?” Luke was stunned.
“The dancer and musician since they were distracting me from playing the game. The dancer was like ‘run away the magician is coming here soon’. Making me lose some hours of my game time!” I still felt annoyed when I thought of it.
“When did they tell you this?” Luke grabbed both of my shoulders.
“Maybe last night?” I shrugged.
“Since this mansion was going to get destroyed anyways, I thought it wouldn’t matter if I added to it,” I defended myself when both Luke and Ben went silent.
“Rika!” Luke had no words to say to me, still shocked.
“Relax, he’s probably coming tonight. We still have time,” I pointed out.
“We’re going to the Suilett mansion to call another emergency meeting. Don’t think I’ll let you go for this Rika,” Luke resumed in dragging me out of Ben’s mansion.
“If you use another spell, you can think of your freedom gone in school when we return,” he threatened me.
This was how everyone gathered in the Suilett family mansion with Luke announcing the news he learnt from me. After apologizing, he asked for other people’s opinions on how to approach this problem. Meanwhile, I crossed my legs, feeling bored when I could be playing more games during this time.
“Honestly, we’re just wasting our time. You can just stuff a nuclear bomb into their bodies to kill them,” I joined in when this meeting was starting to get long.
Monsters were easier to kill once you knew what their weaknesses were. In this case, the shadow’s weakness was light. Especially bright light coming from explosions.
“Rika,” Luke warned me.
“I’m not wrong,” I grumbled.
“And we all have better things to do than to continue this meeting that’s not going anywhere,” I felt annoyed.
“Rika de Impalia Roselia, you’ve just lost your only chance of visiting the other mansions,” Luke started to lose his patience.
“I’ll just act as bait later and kill him for you. Wouldn’t that make everything work out?” I didn’t care if I wouldn’t be able to leave the mansion as long as I had access to the headgear again.
“You’re not getting access to the headgear,” Luke knew why I wanted the meeting to end.
“I heard that a part of your mansion got destroyed,” Jules pitied Ben.
“I shouldn’t have given her access to that room,” Ben sighed.
