Chapter 648: The Rain Calms Me Down
I left Angela’s room to see that Kayla and Sophie were waiting.
“She fell back asleep. And how much did you hear?” I asked.
I know that they were eavesdropping. Although Angela told me that I shouldn’t use Divine Vision and Mind’s Eye, my senses are still better than average people. My hearing detected their movement behind the door.
“Well, congratulation on getting another girl. And I’m waiting for the date,” Kayla said.
“A date with everyone! I can’t wait!” Sophie said excitedly.
...my girls are all weird. At least they are happy.
“If possible, I’d like you to wait for a while longer for the date. There are still some girls possibly wanted to join in as well,” Kayla said.
.....
“Still!? Just what did I do? I know that I’m handsome, but other than fighting and operating patients, there’s nothing that I’m particularly excel at to be admired by ladies. Though I’m glad to be popular,” I said.
“You are right. Except for the handsome part,” Kayla said.
“...Please don’t say that. You’re my girlfriend, so why are you calling me ugly?” I felt dejected hearing that from Kayla.
“I didn’t say that you’re ugly. Anyway, there’s no way that you can get admired by girls. The girls who admire you are at least acquaintances or friends. Other than us, it’s impossible for anyone to admire you,” Kayla said.
...That means I’m unattractive. I understand.
“And so, there are still some girls who is actually interested in you, but they are holding back their feeling like Angela. Most likely, they like you but feel reluctant to say it because you already have so many girlfriends already. I won’t ask you to be the one to make your move. But at least, I want you to wait until the others sort their feeling first. That’s why for the date with everyone, I want us to do it when those girls are clear with their feeling. Either they will join us or give up. I’ll talk about it with Angela later,” Kayla said.
“...Seems like you know more about it than me. Then, I’ll just continue doing what I can. You can take care of it if you want to. Or let them sort their feelings by themselves. You two need to get some rest as well. I want to get some air tonight,” I said.
“Get some air? It’s raining though. And you’re an air mage. Well, if it’s you, I guess it’s fine. Don’t catch a cold,” Kayla said as she and Sophie return to their own room.
Yes, it’s raining tonight. And if I go out, the noise from the rain will be too noisy for me to be lost in my mind. That’s why it’s the best time to get some fresh air. Though nothing can beat my own air that I produce with air magic.
I enter my room, opened the window, and jumped to the roof from there. And I lay down on the roof and watch the rain. Doing nothing at all.
This is refreshing. Not having to think about anything. And the noise from the rain helped me relax. I think I should do this more often when I feel more stressed.
In fact, I have done this many times in my past life. Since I have difficulty making a living, and could only end up being a doctor in a clinic in a small village. Though I mostly stressed about the fact that I was too weak at that time. I guess that’s why I rarely do it again now. Relaxing under the rain.
I don’t know how long I have been staying without moving at all. I just realized that the rain is starting to stop and the sun is about to rise. And that’s when I enter the house and take a bath before taking a light nap. I still need to go back to Rygis later.
It’s when I wake up that I realized something.
“Ah! She wanted to go out with everyone. That means she treasures the girls more than she loves me,” I said to myself.
...At least she still loves me.
I checked on Angela’s condition again, and then proceed to eat some breakfast before I return back to Rygis. Where Shirley has taken care of everything.
“It’s done?” I asked.

“Yes. We have settled the most important parts after all back when you brought Yuria to my brother. Though it would be soon that Yuria announces everything. Good thing you come right now. I want you to check if there are still cult’s influence in the city,” Shirley said.
“Okay, I’ll do it. And what about the circus?” I asked Burnes this time.
“You brought Thomas last night before you left. He said that tonight won’t be good for the show. So, we will do it at a later date. Though today, we were told to entertain the people in the street. Just like a street performers. Not the kind of performance that needed to be done on the stage. Just a simple juggling or tricks,” Burnes said.
“Alright, I’ll do it when I’m free. What about the office staffs that I brought last night?”
“You forgot to bring them to his majesty so we do our interrogation with them ourselves. But for now, nothing suspicious. They are all willing to help us. Especially since they could hear the scream of the cult members you killed last night. They didn’t see it themselves, but they are afraid because even though they are expert level mages, they don’t have experience in fighting to the death,” Burnes said.
And so they decided to go along with whatever Yuria wanted. Well, at least now Yuria has connection with the outside world.
Though there’s one thing that bothers me.
“So, why is everyone avoiding me?” I asked.
Ever since I arrived back to the circus, other than Burnes, Thomas, and a few other members of the circus, the rest are too afraid to even look at me.
“Well, it’s because you received praises from the four kings. Everyone has discussed about what the kings are praising you about. And some even make fun of it saying that the kings have been tricked. Especially after they see you often being silly. But now that they witnessed it themselves, they feel ashamed. Even though we’re all agents trained to be able to easily interact with other people, none of us were trained to this situation where their image of you whom they have been with for a while to change so much in one night. Though rather than changing, it’s more like the kings actually spoke the truth when they were praising you,” Burnes said.
And they were ashamed of that? Well, they’re all agent. They know what to do. I’ll just leave them be. Though I hope it won’t be a trouble during our show tomorrow.
Though does that mean they don’t believe in their own kings? Or maybe because our own situation is weird.
I mean special agents from four different countries are gathering here together. And they all know that everyone was sent by different country. So they can somehow have something in common to talk with.
And rather than talking about some state secrets, they started talking about the information that they gathered by themselves. Like this noble like to do this, or this businessman is doing that.
And then, one thing in common to talk about is me. About how the four kings trusted me and praise me so much that they keep hearing about it. And when they finally met me, they only see a clown.
But once the clown made some action, the clown is actually quite powerful. Though the agents here didn’t know how strong I was. They probably think that I’m a stronger than average expert level mage.
And finally, they witnessed me got angry. Alone without any weapon, without using magic, and no familiars summoned, I killed so many enemies alone. Thought that’s not the only thing they witnessed. They experienced my killing intent as well. The intimidation that I used to make the cult members stood still frozen by fear.
Feeling that intent clearly, even though it was reduced because they are not my enemies, they started to fear me. That’s what Burnes told me when I asked him to explain more about it.
“This side too... I hope they can sort their feeling before our show. It will be bad if our chemistry in the circus turns bad because of this. Well, one night sleep should be enough for that,” I said.
“One more thing, Roy. My brother has finished interrogating Emilia. And after Patricia pleaded to him to not execute her in exchange for her loyalty, he said that she can continue staying in Rygis and protect the country. You can bring her back here now,” Shirley said.
Oh, nice. With this, there’s no need to doubt about the master level mage’s loyalty.
After Patricia returned here, Shirley and Burnes explained everything that happened here to her. And she said that Emilia will stay in prison at least until the cult is destroyed.
After that, Emilia will be taken by Patricia. And Patricia said that she won’t restrain her granddaughter so much anymore. Well, that should be expected. Emilia is old enough to have children. Even grandchildren.
Well, as long as she won’t cause any trouble, she can do anything. Though after what I showed her, I guess she won’t mindlessly pick a fight against anyone she sees.
With this, we have the cooperation of Rygis. Though it will be a while until we can depart and continue our journey.
...And I need to find a dating spot. Although it might take a while until everyone sort their feeling, I still need to find a good place for it.
