810 Sandra Make Friend with Victoria
After talking with me about my performance, Sandra is now talking with Thomas about managing the circus.
That’s a topic that Thomas can discuss about very well. So I just turn myself into a statue. A statue that can eat and drink. Wait, that’s no longer a statue.
I’d like to leave now, but whenever I tried to leave my seat, Thomas is glaring at me asking for help.
You don’t need my help anymore. You can speak normally with her now.
And so, I had no choice but to listen to everything. Though there’s a slime that enjoys listening.
Apparently, Sandra is the leader of the other circus group. But she’s still performing as well as a juggler. Just juggling things. While Thomas has stopped performing and focus on managing the circus and became the host for the circus. Introducing everyone and tells the audience what they will see. Though that’s not really an important part of the circus.
In my past life, I went to a circus a few times. They didn’t have a host at all to introduce the performers. Just one show after another with almost no break.
Though maybe we do it now because all the performers are expert level mages at minimum. So they might move too fast for everyone to notice. And if Thomas didn’t explain what will be shown, they won’t be able to see anything. That’s why we need someone to explain.
Anyway, Sandra and Thomas talked more about the circus before they started talking about their private life. Including about Sandra’s late husband and how that other guy is annoying her so much for obviously trying to flirt with her.
.....
“If he’s not the most talented performers in our group, I would have kicked him out already.”
That’s what Sandra said about that guy.
And Thomas who heard that she doesn’t like someone is flirting with him looked desperate. Because that’s what he wants to do.
I guess flirting with her is impossible. Just ask the other agents about how to make more progress. I’m useless in this area.
After saying how annoying it was being flirted, Thomas was silent. He doesn’t know how to react and just sipped his drink. I guess I’ll start talking again now.
“I know, right? Being flirted by someone who is not your type is annoying. For me, if I’m just being friend with them, that’s fine. But if they keep flirting on me, that’s just annoying. Well, I don’t have any problem with it anymore nowadays with that person set his eyes on another target,” I said.
“...He?” Sandra asked.
“Yes. He’s a man. I prefer my lovers to be women. But good thing I introduced him to my other friend and he’s now setting his eyes on my other friend,” I said.
It’s from my own experience. I don’t hate Hill. Just don’t want him to be involved with me romantically.
I heard that he’s an expert level mage now. He’s an indispensable for the safety of Mellian. He will protect the boys there, is what he said.
As for the guy he’s interested in, it’s Kron. And he’s still didn’t notice Hill’s advance toward him.
Though I think Kron decided to live his life as a hunter and keep getting stronger. I don’t think he will be involved with anyone romantically. He’s just too focused on enjoying himself exploring the world with his partner, Breezy.
“Oh, I see. For me, I just want our interaction as business only. I don’t think I want him to be my friend. He’s too annoying even to other people,” Sandra said.
Now we’re talking about our love lives. I also told her about my harem members. Though I didn’t tell her everything like how we’re at war with the cult and the fact that we’re the main force.
Since she asked about my harem, I told her only what she can know. Like the smart and independent woman, Kayla. Then I have Angela and Candy whom I said to be excellent hunters. Then the doctor, Sophie. After that, the homely, Lina. Can’t say that she’s my maid since I’m not a noble. Then there’s a the wild girl, Shelia. And lastly at the moment, since they said that I might have more, is the weird writer, Victoria. Though for the nocturnal, Arin, is still questionable. But since she loves my blood the most, I think she’s the closest one to be the next. If she wants to.
“Writer, huh? That name rings a bell. Oh, right! One of the performers in the circus is a fan of her novels! Wait, is that novel is based on that guy who flirted with you?” Sandra asked.
“Don’t ask me. I don’t want to know whatever she’s writing about. It’s too scary for me,” I said.
Victoria sometimes wrote about my experience. And some characters in her story, back when she started writing and I was curious about what she wrote, are similar to me. So I refused to read them ever again.
“I’m not too interested with the relationship between the character. I like the action more,” Sandra said.
Oh, she wrote action novels? Maybe an adventure since she’s staying with me everywhere I go.
“She’s my fan. Should I go out and come back then introduced myself as Victoria?”
Victoria said that to herself. Though I don’t think she needs an answer from me.
Also, we want to help Thomas. Not to let her meet a fan... Wait! That might be a good idea.
So I told Victoria via telepathy that if she wants to, she can do that. I don’t think Sandra will be here for much longer. But if Victoria, who can easily make friend with a lot of people except Sonia when they were both alive, can get closer to Sandra, then even after we split up with Sandra, Victoria can still talk with her.
Heck. If it’s her, having a sleepover with someone she just met is not impossible. Then she can tell Sandra about Thomas’ good points.
Victoria agreed to do that. So she left, and return again as Victoria the writer in her human form.
“Hey, Roy! I’m here!”
Victoria pretended that we made a promise to meet her here.
Thomas was confused seeing Victoria in her human form. As for the agents, they sort of expected it after seeing Victoria left the building.
“Sandra, meet Victoria,” I introduced Victoria to Sandra.
“Oh, my! I know some people who wants to meet you!” Sandra said.
“What about you?” Victoria asked.
“Well, I’m not that interested in meeting famous people other than Clarence,” Sandra said.
“What about now that you have met him?” Victoria asked.
“Well, during show, he was amazing,” Sandra said.
“What about outside the circus?”
This time, Sandra didn’t say anything. How should I feel now?
And Victoria easily and quickly get close enough to Sandra to be called her friend. And Victoria occasionally talked to both Sandra and Thomas under the guise of research for her novel. She also talked to me to make it seems that she’s not ignoring me.
What a skill! I can’t do that. If someone asked me my opinion, I would often times speak the truth and make them avoid me instead. I can act and pretend that I’m interested in many things, but I hate that I need to act. So I keep it to the minimum.
It has been so long since we’re here. But the place is not closing at all. When I asked Burnes about it via text messages, he told me that the owner of this place is an agent from Varadis. So we can stay as long as we want.
Though we can’t stay too long here. Or people will be suspicious why the place is not closing yet.
Someone come and told us that they’re closing while Sandra and Victoria are excited talking about everything. It’s hard to keep up with these two.
But is it fine to show Victoria to her right now? Because if we can trust Sandra, then Thomas will probably tell her that Victoria is actually a monster.
Well, if we can trust her that much, then it should be fine. There won’t be any problem at all.
We then split up with Sandra. Victoria said that she will take Sandra back to where she’s staying before returning to our inn.
“You don’t have to,” Sandra said.
“Don’t worry. I want to talk you more tonight. And how about we meet up again tomorrow? Although I look like this, I’m quite strong, you know. I can protect you,” Victoria said.
This late at night, Sandra will be safer if Victoria stays with her. But there might be danger as well.
What if Sandra ended up to be interested with Victoria instead? Then it’s a farewell to Thomas’ love.
Well, if that happen, then it’s all Thomas’ fault. He should have make a move on his own instead of asking for help all the time.
Now, what was it again that Victoria said... right! Thomas need to get out of the Friendzone area now. Good luck, Thomas.
