Chapter 636: We Got the Permission to Perform
It was good that I was suspicious of them. Though it was extremely lucky that I could attach a small Blobby on the letter Patricia wrote and gave her granddaughter to deliver to the one they call the president.
While she was writing her letter, I used air magic on my surrounding. And both Patricia and Emilia were surprised and wary that I used magic all of a sudden.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. I’m using air magic to breathe. Although it’s just for a little bit, I made the air in the surrounding to give a calming effect. It’s good for when you have just finished a fight. Angela quite like it as well.”
That’s what I said to the two master level mages. Though that’s not a lie. Angela did like the calming gas. Especially after training or doing anything that could tire her out. And once in a while, when she’s done with her training, I used air magic like this. So I pretend that it’s something that I usually do to Angela and my friends after training.
The two let down their guard at that moment, and I had Victoria throw a clone of her that she has prepared before when I asked her to prepare seats for us. Because if she only creates clone right before she threw the Blobby, the two master level mages would notice.
And it’s not just a normal clone. There’s a listening device that Marie created inserted inside the clone. The size is small and since it’s a newly invented device, no one would know what that is.
After creating the TV, Marie asked Victoria more about the invention in her world. And according to Victoria, in her world, it was sound first that can travel long distance before visual. Which mean a device to communicate long distance was created long before TV.
.....
But in this world, it’s the reverse. TV was made first. And thanks to that, Marie could easily make a listening device. A small device that can capture all the nearby sound, and another device it’s connected to which will make the listener can hear what sound the other device captured.
And that device is in my right ear. Covered with air magic to not let any sound or let any other sound enter. And so, I have been talking with the master level mages with only one ear working.
Emilia arrived at the city and gave the president the letter. And the one they call the president doesn’t notice that there’s a listening device there. I could hear everything she said with another woman there. Who seem to be her guard or assistant since Emilia wasn’t suspicious of her. She’s someone the people has trusted to be that close with the president.
It seems that the city is on the way to its destruction. Though that’s not their real intention. Their real intention is to get the two master level mages, Patricia and Emilia, to join the cult.
There will be some trouble during our visit there. But at least we have permission to enter.
Now, the only problem I have is to inform the others about this. I need to tell them when the two master level mages are not here so they won’t be able to eavesdrop on us.
The other circus members are fine. They are all agents who have been trained to respond well in any situation. I think it’s fine if I don’t tell them anything yet.
Victoria won’t speak during our stay here. At least not until I told her that it’s fine to speak. And Shirley is smart. She knows what to do even without being told.
The only problem is Angela. But as long as I keep it a secret from her, she will act normally. I guess I’ll do that to her. And I’ll try to tell the others about what I heard if I have the chance.
I tried asking Patricia a bit more about the place we’re going to visit. But she didn’t answer much about it. Only a little. But I guess that’s the most important part.
“The place you’re going to have more women than men. I heard that it’s normal in outside world that men are the ones with power. So I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to be surprised to see that women have more power than men,” Patricia said.
That’s the only thing she told me about Rygis. Though I’d like to say that it’s not only men who have power. Women can have power as well. I know that well since I’m the one who is being pushed around the most at home by the girls.

Soon after, Emilia returned to us telling that we have the permit to enter. And just like what I heard from them, we will only be allowed to stay outside of the city. But that’s fine. Even if there are monsters there, we are strong enough to protect ourselves.
...Maybe they did it on purpose so we can protect the city while staying there. Whatever the case, we got the permit.
“That’s great! Then, we will go to Rygis. What about you two?”
I asked the two master level mages whether they want to stay with us or move on their own.
“...We’ll return on our own. See you at the city then,” Patricia said before she and her granddaughter run toward the city.
I guess it’s time to tell the others what I heard. Though I still need to keep it as secret from Angela. Because if she’s wary at all times, she will only provoke the people there.
As for the Blobby and the listening device in the president’s office, I had them moved after I heard that both the president and the other person are leaving the room. The listening device should be in a safe place now. Good thing a clone of Victoria can still follow orders even when I can’t see. But I’ll find a chance to hide them in a better position later.
I guess for the duration of our stay, I will stay deaf in one ear so I can eavesdrop on the president. But that’s fine since my hearing is good because I’m an Aura Master.
While Angela helped the others to prepare for our travel to Rygis, I told Shirley, Victoria, and Burnes who will inform it to the others about what I heard.
“The president is involved with the cult. And someone who is close with her is also the same. There are others as well, so we need to be careful,” I said.
“You too, Roy. We’re in another country. Just because of your hatred and trauma to the cult, you can’t just kill everyone you think is member of the cult. Have you seen anyone with exploding device in their mouth?” Victoria asked.
“I know. I won’t kill anyone at first sight there. But there were no one with explosive devices in their mouth before. Though that might be because this country is isolated from the outside world and there were no supply of explosive devices. The one with the president said that there’s no information coming from the outside. And they gave us the permit so they can ask us about the outside world. That’s why just in case, don’t tell this to Angela. She’s not a good liar. It’s great that those two chose to return on their own. If they stick with us, we can’t have this conversation,” I said.
“Thanks, Roy. I’ll tell the others about this,” Burnes said as he left to where the others are.
“There’s a chance that we might get surrounded by the cult members there. I’ll get Sonia to tell Kayla and the others. Roy, prepare to open a portal there to get them here before we’re in danger,” Shirley said as she called Sonia.
Though I’d rather use the portal for us to escape. But that’s fine too. I can just call them, and when we’re in danger, we will all leave with portal.
“Do you think there will be a fight while we’re staying there?” Victoria asked me.
“Even if they are not the first to pick a fight against us, there will be a fight. Because Im the one who will make the first move. They said that they want to get Patricia and Emilia to join the cult. But no matter what, we have to stop it. Though they must be worried since Angela can defeat Emilia. Still, no matter what, we have to stop their plan. Maybe they will target Angela because she’s strong. Not to get her to join them. But to kill her. We have to prevent that from happening,” I said.
Maybe it’s best if we just get someone else instead of Angela to come here. Maybe Kayla because she’s the smartest. But she’s already here, so there’s nothing we can do.
“If it’s Angela, dirty tricks could work. For now, let’s tell everyone to only eat our own food until you have checked everything in that city. We must avoid getting poisoned,” Victoria said.
Poison, huh? They might do that.
Whatever the case, fight will be unavoidable. But when and how is something we don’t know yet.
I hope they won’t pick a fight against us during our show. That’s something that I will never forgive.
