My Bothersome Life - Chapter 395

“I told you we can free your family after you come with us,” Ailes wondered what he should do with me after figuring out I wouldn’t be able to become one of them.

“But I think you know that I’ll die in the process,” I pointed out.

“We can figure other things out,” he shrugged.

“Plus you have the chance card, giving you a second chance at life once you die,” he remembered our conversation from last time.

“And you really think I’ll use it to come back to this world?” I shook my head in disapproval.

“Well it’s better than nothing,” he argued.

“Wouldn’t you want to return to your family?” He revealed my weakness.

“What if I want to return to my family in my previous life instead?” I crossed my arms.

“In fact, why don’t I try using that card now? Don’t you think I’ll die after falling at such a height?” I began to struggle out of the magician’s arms.

The magician, who was taken aback, couldn’t do anything while I managed to escape his grip. I smiled while falling rapidly towards the dangerous landscape. Ailes couldn’t do anything about it since he would kill me if he touched me. I guessed they never predicted how the consequences of their dangerous attacks could turn on them.

“Grab her and let’s go to a less dangerous place,” Ailes ordered the circus members.

The juggler dashed towards me, trying to catch me. I raised my hand where the all the monsters were gathered so I could continue falling. I couldn’t be caught again. I still had the chance to safely land at the ground. I began to chant at them, avoiding only the magician holding Luke, “explosion.”

I smiled as everyone was taken aback from the bombs exploding in the sky. However, instead of hitting the targets, the juggler used this chance to tightly grab onto my arms once he was able to get to where I was, preventing me from escaping while dragging me towards the other circus members. I continued to struggle, trying to get out of his grasp, but finding they weren’t falling for the same trick again.

“Where are we going?” I gave up.

“We’re going to the headquarters made for this mission,” Ailes gestured to the magician to let the others go.

“Is it close to here?” I wondered.

“About an hour away,” he readily gave out the information.

“Then you should at least let him go. You should only take me,” I gestured for them to return Luke.

“No, please take me with you,” Luke refused to return alone.

“I guess we should place him back down,” Ailes decided to listen to me.

“Please, I can help you look after her. You can’t since you can’t come close to her,” Luke pointed out.

“We should grant him this one wish,” the dancer felt sorry towards him.

“Bring him with us,” Ailes sighed.

This was why I ended up in front of a tall tower. Entering through a window at the top floor, I unexpectedly found myself in a decent prison cell. I gasped as there was a simple bed, TV screens and most of all, some headgears. Why were my kidnappers treating me so well? Was this what they meant by trying to save me?

“Why didn’t you tell me you would bring me here? Then I would’ve gone to you a lot sooner,” My eyes sparkled.

“This is the worst room we have,” Ailes wondered why I looked so happy.

“I can stay as long as you want. I won’t ever leave this place,” I turned to thank him.

“You should’ve brought me here sooner,” I had grateful tears streaming down my face.

“We’re both from South Korea, we should stick together,” I repeated his own words.

The circus members noticed I was staring at the headgears behind them rather than looking at Ailes. Backing away a little, they tried to leave, letting Ailes handle the rest of the problem. It seemed even the magician heard what happened a few days ago, looking at me in a new light. Looking a bit confused, Ailes gave us one final look before he left us alone in the room, deciding he would fix this problem later.

“My headgears,” I walked towards the pile.

“Wait, don’t you think you have other things to explain Rika?” Luke blocked me from them.

I sighed, knowing it would be a pain to explain everything that had happened. My headgears were waiting for me, a few metres away from playing that game. I didn’t know when Ailes would change his mind and place us somewhere else.

“I died in my former life trying to rescue someone and it was God’s mistake. He gave me the second chance card, the dimensional library and unlimited mana as some cheats to use in this life. Then I reincarnated into this life,” I gave the briefest summary of what had happened.

“When?” Luke still seemed suspicious.

“When this vessel was around four, before we entered the kindergarten in the first district,” I tried to walk around him.

I was mostly the Rika he knew anyways. We were together for more than eight years compared the few months he spent with the previous Rika. Luke stopped blocking my way, trying to recall all his memories from when he noticed Rika had changed. Meanwhile, I glided one of my hands on the precious gaming console. My eyes twinkled since I never knew I would have a chance to touch them again.
