Chapter 408 - Finale of the Circus (7)

"You know us the most as a fellow reincarnated person," the humanoid shrugged.

"I guess?" I finally took a closer look at him.

"In exchange of giving you some land, if you leave us alone in this area then we won't attack you," he circled an area on the map.

"Why there?" I couldn't find anything valuable about it.

"It's where all the entertainment is gathered like the newest headgears, games and shows. You know how we all died before we could enjoy the things in this world and in our previous world from studying for the SATs. That's why most of us only care about gaming the rest of our days away," he explained.

"Can't you bring me there with you?" My eyes sparkled.

"I don't need land or whatnot. I want to join you," I felt a bit jealous of them.

"I thought you were interested in land from taking the tower from Ailes," he seemed a bit confused.

"I only wanted that tower since it had some headgears on the top floor," I pointed out.

"So please take me with you," I clasped my hands together.

"You can't take her with you!" The juggler slammed the door open.

"This girl is on another level. She's completely addicted to the games that she may kill us in the future," he yelled.

"You're the same too!" I found him no different.

"I'm not like you. You're still human. You'll take care of her, right?" The juggler turned to everyone else in the room.

"I suffered through the SATs too! It's not fair that only you guys get to enjoy your lives while I have to suffer under them!" I argued.

"It's better if you negotiate with them instead to get what we want," he gestured to some of Luke's family members frozen behind me.

"Wait. Can you give me some property? Ones with a game room? I want a place where no one else can enter except for me," I interrupted him.

"I'll do all the negotiating for you with them. I know these heartless people more than you do. They may attack you if you let them go," I tried to convince the humanoid.

"She's lying, she only wants the game room. She's going to land us into more trouble," the juggler refuted.

"Excuse me? You don't know how we fellow reincarnated people should stick together and help each other out!" I was losing some patience.

"Maybe I should change the terms," the s-class monster found us both riled up.

"We can work together if you wish to join us. We'll empty some of our land and make sure no monsters enter so you'll get to enjoy our game rooms. In exchange, you give us the latest supply of games and other entertainment on a monthly basis," he offered.

"What?" The juggler spun his head towards him.

"You can't deny how it's become harder to access the newest games. The only reason we attack the cities is to get our hands on them," he surprised everyone else inside the room.

"Deal! Where should we meet every month? How should I transfer them to you?" I liked his terms.

I slowly turned when the rest of the a.d.u.l.ts came to open the door. I didn't think they would get rid of the monsters so soon. Opening the door to find their children under a large spell, unable to move while hearing our entire conversation, they didn't look too pleased. I stiffened as Joanna smiled while walking towards me.

"If those are your only conditions, we would be glad to negotiate with you. In exchange for us to pick the land and property, we can transfer you all the gaming equipment and anything else you need every week," she offered them a better deal.

"William, escort them to the drawing room," she turned to her husband.

"Rika, I think we need a long talk," she brightly smiled.

Seeing that they had better terms, both the s-class monster and the juggler went to follow the rest of the a.d.u.l.ts to another room, removing the spell on everyone else. While I couldn't move under Luke's mother who appeared the same as when Luke was about to lecture me for something. I gulped as she gestured to Alex to take Shelly away from the room.

Once the door was shut, she began her lecture with only direct members of the Roselia family inside the room, "we can't have you leaving with the monsters, can we? I'm sure you know how your parents have entrusted you to us. We can't betray their trust."

"We're very busy people, but we can always take more time to focus more on your education. I think we have been too lenient with you so far," she gestured to Luke to come join her.

"What do you think of visiting every weekend?" She asked Luke.

"I think it's unfair when I have helped the family obtain more land and property," I stepped in before Luke could answer her.

"It was all an act!" I quickly made up an excuse.

There was no way they could've gotten the new land and property if I wasn't reincarnated from another world. This was the only thing connecting me and the other s-class monsters together. I trembled in anger, feeling miserable how I would have to suffer for something that wasn't entirely my fault. Maybe I was feeling too anxious about where my fate would land, my mind went blank as I collapsed onto the floor.
