Chapter 436 - Obtaining Funds (7)

"How could you reveal yourself?" Delia yelled at Henry.

"That guy isn't normal! He knew we were following him around this entire time," Henry shuddered.

"The entire time?" Cillian couldn't believe his words.

"I didn't think our fraction would give him so much work. I had to work the entire day away," Henry grumbled.

"That's why I told you that you have to follow him from at least ten metres away. You can't make a single sound and make anything out of place!" I felt they were taking Luke too lightly.

Luke could immediately point out anything from his surroundings. It was part of the reason why it was extremely hard to lie in front of him. It was better to confess and apologize to get things over with than to drag it out when he already knew everything. Unfortunately, it looked like Henry had somehow confessed to following him while hiding the rest.

"What do we do now?" Sienna blamed Henry.

"I can be the lookout again," I volunteered.

"I want to go out of the school for today," I threw the idea of another study session out of the window for another alternative.

"Where?" Luke continued to work with Alex.

"The newest Monete hotel," I read the news a week ago.

Alex's family had built another hotel from the land their family had gained from the humanoid's negotiation. You didn't need to book the room to use all the newly built attractions there. It went on the news from all the people fascinated with all the innovative parks, salons, restaurants and zoos. Since I missed out on exploring his family's chain of hotels in the second district, I really wanted to go to this one with all the rumors circulating in school.

"Can I go with Sienna?" I asked, knowing he would never let me out of the school without him.

"You can't go," he declined without asking Alex.

"Then I want to visit my parents," I came up with another location.

"I don't have the time to go with you Rika," he was implying I wouldn't be allowed to go anywhere.

"It's fine," I turned.

It was obvious that both of them weren't going to leave the room today with how the work has increased. Both of them didn't have the time to look at me while I talked. I smiled as I could possibly put a spell on the door to alert me when they were leaving the room while helping out others with our supply line. My teleportation skills were improving lately with the practice of erasing my tracks and visualizing the place I wanted to go. But there was still the slight chance Luke could figure out about the spell on the door.

"You're planning to go without us," Alex thought from my smile.

"I'm not," I refuted.

"It's just that I read it on the news and wanted to go sometime," I pretended to be a bit upset.

"If I really wanted to go today, I wouldn't even ask for permission," I softly mumbled.

"That's why I'm offering to help with some of the fraction work to go to the hotel in exchange," I implemented my plan.

"I can take you to the hotel next weekend, but you can't go to any of the attractions," Luke knew my real purpose of going there.

"Then what's the point of going?" I found the deal unfair.

"It's your cousin's family hotel!" I wondered why he couldn't trust them.

"Isn't it?" I turned to Alex.

"It's still in the trial stages," Alex revealed.

I pretended to get mad as I ran into my bedroom. My backup plan was to stay inside my bedroom while attentively listening if they were about to leave the living room. Anything was better than another study session. This was when I realized that I was an excellent lookout from all my experience. Maybe I could really manage to escape from the Roselia family in the future with my keen senses.

Since I would get bored with nothing to do in the room except for sleeping, I decided to scroll through more places I could go to in the future. I was starting to make a bucket list compiling all the districts together. There were still so many places I wasn't able to go in the second and third districts. Travelling was another dream of mine ever since my reincarnation into this world. I was so into making my bucket list that I didn't notice Luke coming into my room with Alex behind him.

"What do you want?" I tried to act like I was still upset.

"Something is going on, isn't it?" Luke finally asked about all the people avoiding him.

"What do you mean?" I decided to stay ignorant.

I was going to kill Henry later for letting them out of this room. I was disappointed in other people's acting skills and how they explicitly avoided them.
