Chapter 641: After the First Show in Rygis

Later in the night, the show went well. Many people doesn’t understand what a circus is. And when we finally made our performance, everyone is happy. And they are looking for more. Including the President himself who came to watch us.

Everyone is laughing during my performance as Clarence the Clown. But unfortunately, I’m not the most popular one.

All the audiences are women. And even if they laughed at my performance, they admired the other guys’ appearance instead of their performance.

Well, good-looking guy doing amazing performance is what everyone want to see. But I’m not that ugly being a clown, right? Why am I less popular than the others?

With that, the show on the first night is over. Although there were many people coming to watch, there are still some empty seats. I hope tomorrow all the empty seats will be filled.

After the show is over, everyone left the tent. Except for Yuria, her bodyguard, and Emilia who is curious about us.

“That was a good show. It was much better than I expected,” Yuria said.

.....

“Yeah! And there were so little magic used. I can’t believe you all can get that strong without raising your level! And how is she so flexible!?”

Emilia asked various question about our performance. Though I let someone answer her questions. I’m talking with Yuria after all.

As for Patricia, she’s still in the city. Because we expect many people interested in circus, the city should be quieter. And for the cult members hiding in the city, that is their chance to communicate to each other or do something else. Hence why Patricia is staying behind.

And I told her that if she feels a gaze from the circus, that would be me. I told her that I can see many things so I will help her observing anything suspicious. Though so far tonight, there were no suspicious act at all.

Until I looked at Patricia again. It’s a signal to her that the circus is over. And after that, she’s moving toward the gate of the city and to the circus. And at that time, some group of people are gathering together.

Those people all moved toward the red-light district. And discussing about something. They are most likely members of the cult.

I want to identify all of them. But I was shocked to see that there are a few men there. And one of them is the nodding guy!

...I feel betrayed. Someone I used to greet all the time is possibly a member of the cult. Though I have never greeted him in this life, he’s still someone I know. I will make sure that I’m the one who will take his life.

Though I hope I am wrong. It’s not like those people gathered because they are members of the cult. But I will keep watching them for now.

“Is the show over already? Good. Then, let’s go back. Yuria, you still have a lot of work to do. Go get some sleep first. Also, Emilia, tomorrow, you will be the one protecting the city while I watch the circus,” Patricia said.

“Why? I want to watch the circus again tomorrow, grandma!” Emilia complained.

I’ve seen this several times already. A kid said to their parents that they want to watch the circus again the next day. But for some reason, the parents unable to come again. So the kid won’t be able to watch the circus the second time.

...But this time, it was two adults who is arguing. A grandmother and her granddaughter. And the grandmother looks like the younger one because of her short stature.

What a weird world we live in.

Soon after, Yuria, Emilia, and the woman in black left the tent while Patricia still staying behind. She told her granddaughter that she wants to ask something about the outside world to me after hearing about it a little bit.

But I know that’s not what she wants to hear. Because Emilia who is also interested in hearing it were denied to stay with her. Patricia told her that it’s time for her to work.

After Emilia left reluctantly, only Patricia and us circus members stayed behind.

“Angela, go and help the others clean up and check the props. We will use them again tomorrow,” I said.

“Hmm? I’ll just go out and check the surrounding monsters,” Angela said.

Seems like she understands that I’m trying to say something to Patricia. She understands about herself and that she’s terrible at keeping a secret, so she will leave on her own if there’s something that must be kept secret. What a good girl.

“Burnes and the others who are not busy with the clean up gather here. We have important announcement. Tell this to those who are busy later,” I said.

After everyone gathered, I let Shirley take the spotlight. I also looked around to see if there are anyone hiding or not trying to eavesdrop on us.

“There’s no one here. You can speak, Shirley,” I said.

“What is that magic? I feel disturbed when I sensed your gaze. I don’t know any element that can help improve someone’s sight,” Patricia asked.

“This is something only I can do. There’s a different version that anyone can learn, but we’ll talk about that in the future. By the way, that place that look like a slum but actually a red-light district, there are people gathering there after you left your post. Is that something normal or not?” I asked Patricia.

“No. There usually were not many people go out at night and gather together. I didn’t even sense that. Your sight is truly something. Though I hope you won’t use it to peek at girls bathing,” Patricia said.

Too late. I have done that many times. And every time, I will deny it when asked.

Meanwhile, Shirley started talking.

She explained how we got a chance to bring Yuria and Patricia to meet Albert and got their cooperation in erasing the cult.

“Wow, you work fast as usual,” Burnes said as he walked to me.

“Well, there’s a chance and I took it. Since Albert has finished talking to them and he said that they can work together with us, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about,” I said.

“You really trust your king that much, huh?” Patricia asked.

“Well, there’s a reason why I can trust him,” I replied.

His ability to detect lies. Because of that, I know he won’t just send the two back here for no reason. He must have sensed that they will work together with us.

Shirley then explained everything that happened during the interrogation. Including how Patricia was so angry and tried to attack her own president, but Shirley and Mustache worked together to stop her.

From what Shirley said, Patricia has a wind element magic that has reached master level. So the resources that this country has should be wind magic stones instead of ice because I don’t feel cold at all here. It’s just Emilia chose to improve her ice element first.

I was right. And for the cooperation, Yuria will send a lot of wind magic stones to the kingdom. There’s a mountain a few days walk from here where they can get many wind magic stones.

We couldn’t find a place to mine wind magic stones. But we have a place where wind mages can cultivate and their progress rate increased manyfold. On Andro’s back. Next to his wings.

Though receiving more wind magic stones is better than nothing. And I also don’t want to keep opening a portal to Andro’s back for strangers. It’s best if they can just cultivate at home with magic stones.

Yuria told Albert that she asked someone who is actually a member of the cult so she can be a president and change the country. It worked. And the slavery of men in the country were reduced.

There were still some who doesn’t want that. That’s why Yuria let the slum be. And that slum is most likely where the cult would gather.

Yuria doesn’t know anyone else other than the woman in black who are connected to the cult. So we need to be careful.

That’s the summary of what Shirley told us. And everyone is happy that we have a master level mage to join our cause.

“The country needs the change if it wants to compete with the outside world. I will not blame Yuria for cooperating with the cult. But I will kill every single one of them. As for Emilia, I’ll take care of telling her what to do. She can’t keep a secret well, so I need to be careful how to say it to her,” Patricia said.

As I thought, Emilia is similar to Angela. Angela must be happy to have someone who is just like her. And they both even promised to have a spar again tomorrow. Though for talent, I think Angela is far ahead of Emilia.

“We’ll continue the show tomorrow as planned. And if any of you noticed someone suspicious among the audience, please report it. As for the plan to fight the cult, let’s think of a plan for that,” I said.

And so, we spent the whole night making a plan to fight the cult. And tomorrow, before the show, just like usual, Shirley and I will visit the President again. There are still many things that we can learn from each other.
