My Bothersome Life - Chapter 393

“You’re the only two that I’m sparing,” the magician melted under our acting.

“Partly because you were the only ones to apologize,” he made up an excuse for himself.

The magician held both of us in his arms while flying higher into the sky. Looking down at the ruined neighbourhood, everyone seemed to be losing, switching to run for their lives. I guessed since most people in our group were high school students, they wouldn’t have the same innocent appeal as we did. But I still wanted to send a message to my classmates to apologize so they could be with us, feeling guilty only we were in a decently safe place.

“Are we staying here for the entire night?” I was familiar with this from last time.

“Until I find the target that Ailes described. It’s harder than I thought since none of them seem to possess features from the third district,” the magician opened his map to place more different kinds of attacks.

“Won’t you be gone in the morning?” I wondered.

“Ailes created a barrier that blocks the sunlight this time,” the magician readily revealed the information.

“I’m afraid the school may be a better place. We do not have such a person with us here,” Luke flawlessly lied.

“She has to be here. Ailes used a spell from using a strand of her silver hair to track her,” he explained.

I tried to hide the shock on my face. I couldn’t believe he took a strand of my hair before I escaped from him last time. Even Luke briefly froze, not knowing monsters could track me by using this method. Would I ever be free from the monsters as long as I was inside this district? Maybe I could always stay at his grandfather’s house from now on. Although he was too busy to watch over us, he would protect the place he lived in.

“Do you know her precise location? We can help you find her,” I hoped to lead him off me.

“The location is really vague since we only know the area she is in,” the magician continued to place more traps below us.

“She could be already dead,” Luke pointed out.

“If she was dead, then the spell would vanish. But the spell is still telling us that she is alive,” he continued to study the map.

“What do you want to do once you find her?” I wondered.

“I’m just passing her off to Ailes. I’m not sure what he wants from her,” he shrugged.

“But you seem familiar with him even from how you talked last time, how do you know Ailes?” The magician became suspicious of me.

“I heard about him from the dancer and musician,” I hoped he wouldn’t further question me.

“That reminds me, they’re coming to us soon,” he accepted my answer.

Both Luke and I stiffened from the news. We couldn’t move in the magician’s arms, knowing we would fall towards the dangerous area. While we were helplessly waiting for them to come, the juggler, musician and dancer flew towards us like he had mentioned. I sighed as their line of sight instantly landed on me and Luke.

“You know I didn’t mean to kill you, right?” I tried to repent to the juggler.

“I only wanted to continue playing the game,” I turned to the musician and dancer next.

“Is her addiction fixed?” The juggler asked Luke.

It seemed like both the musician and dancer knew about my extreme addiction to the game. Looking at me in a new light, they seemed to pity Luke instead of trying to kill me. Meanwhile, the magician looked at us and them, wondering how we knew each other. Only the host and the swordsman weren’t here with them. It was nice knowing at least one of the most dangerous members amongst them was dead.

“We managed to take the headgear away from her,” Luke told him that he confiscated everything.

“It’s because you guys always have the chance to play the game. If I didn’t continue playing back then, there was a chance I would never touch another headgear in my life,” I showed them how privileged they were.

“But we don’t try to kill other people over it,” the dancer still seemed upset.

“You always have access to it,” I argued.

“I still had so many things to do. I didn’t recruit enough people in my harem or defeat the demon king yet,” I slowly began to become depressed.

“If I can’t play that game, nobody should,” I turned to the magician.

“Can I suggest some places to put some attacks?” I pleaded with the most pitiful eyes.

“Where do you want to place them?” he passed me the map.

“I want to use disintegration on each of the mansions,” I wanted everything destroyed.

“Don’t you think it’s too much?” The magician turned to his fellow circus members for their opinions.

“Do you think she’s still sane?” The juggler floated a bit away from him.

“She tried to kill us for disturbing her while she was playing that game,” the musician agreed with the juggler.

“Didn’t you say you wanted revenge? This is the perfect time by destroying their property to the point of no return. Imagine all the expensive things in each of their mansions. Just use another attack to make sure they all run out before using it,” My eyes burned with ambition.
