The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 799 - 799 Spoiler

799 Spoiler

Burnes and some other agents barged into the tent. They didn’t even hide the fact that they have been listening in from the start.

“Shit, I forgot,” Thomas said.

“You could have asked them to help you before you left the capital. But you forgot about it. If not, then they can do more. Maybe they could even find her late husband’s identity,” Victoria said.

“Actually, we already found out about it,” Burnes said casually.

“...Of course they did,” Thomas said.

“Don’t forget why we started touring in the first place. It’s to investigate the cult. And obviously, we need to check everyone interacting with us. Including Sandra. To make sure that she’s not targeting you with ill-intention. And don’t worry. The result is good. She’s not from the cult,” Burnes said.

Thomas sighed in relief after hearing that.

“It’s good that she’s not related to the cult. And since you’re here, does it mean that you’re going to help me?” Thomas asked.

“Yes!”

.....

Burnes answered excitedly. And the other agents nodded.

“Great! So, what should I do?” Thomas asked.

“Thomas, we’re willing to help you. But we’re not going to tell you about every little thing. We will help you little by little, but we won’t help you with everything. To get a woman, it’s best to do it on your own instead of getting someone to help you all the time. We’re just background supporting characters at best,” Burnes said.

“Okay. I understand. So what do I need to do now?” Thomas asked.

...I don’t think he understands at all. Just after Burnes said to not expect help all the time, he asked for help right away.

“...For now, finish your meal and continue our journey. Although we’re not in a hurry, I think it’s best to get to the next city early for preparation,” Burnes said.

“...Right. In the end, I am still busy with the tour. And Sandra is also busy with her business. So it’s not like we’re going to meet anytime soon. Alright, I’ll finish my meal now. Prepare for departure. We’ll leave as soon as I finish my breakfast,” Burnes said.

He sounded disappointed after realizing that he’s still in the middle of a tour. Which will probably be over after a few months.

“Don’t be too disappointed. After the tour is over, we should have a break, right? Some of us are willing to help you since we don’t need everyone to send their reports. And not everyone has a family to go home to. Finding out where she is after the tour is not a problem for us,” Burnes said confidently. Though I think it’s highly likely that we will meet her during the tour. That’s what I feel after seeing the agents’ expressions.

“Really? Then I will count on you. Roy, that’s enough. You don’t need to act like a statue anymore. We’re also about to leave so you can help the others,” Thomas said.

And that’s the end of my act as a statue. I have to say that I’m pretty convincing as a statue.

We prepare to leave and after Thomas finally finished his breakfast, when it’s soon time for lunch already, we departed.

On the way, I asked Burnes about everything else I missed. And I don’t care on how many women he’s sleeping with on every city. Just anything important or entertaining to hear.

Something like a blooper that the other members made during a show. No matter how professional they have become, they are still humans who make error.

The good thing was that there’s no one injured. And if it’s just a light injury, there’s a healer in the circus as well.

It was fun hearing how the others make some bloopers that’s sometimes funnier than Burnes’ own performance. He’s a clown. He should be the funny one.

But I know that Burnes never mentioned about his own bloopers. He kept talking about other people’s mistakes, but never about himself. So I asked someone else about Burnes. And there was indeed a lot of mistake that he made.

He tried to be me. To be Clarence during a show. But he couldn’t do it. At least it was funny in its own way.

And obviously, I laughed at him.

“You tried to copy me? Even these master level mages who had just joined the circus won’t be able to copy me with their excellent physical ability. And you who are just an expert level is trying to copy me? So what kind of injury did you get?” I asked.

“...I never got any injury. Just a few slips,” Burnes said.

But the other guy told me the truth.

“He fractured his legs and unable to perform for a week. Even with a healing magic, it took time until he can perform. Then there are other injuries as well. Like—”

“Stop it! He’s just going to make fun of me the whole journey!” Burnes shouted.

This is fun. The atmosphere is really good. And everyone is getting along with each other just fine.

Must be because there’s no more need to investigate. Although they would still do it, they no longer need to focus on that job unless it’s necessary. Just fooling around as a fellow member of the circus.

After that, I also asked the master level mages about their performance. I told them to not do too much and let people know that they are master level mages. Keep their level as secret. I also showed them some tricks that they can do. With their speed and strength, they could do some tricks that no one else but me can do it.

Though that means I have to learn new tricks. Which is fine because I enjoy it.

So during the journey to the next city, other than talking with the others, I also practiced my new routine. Not just me, but also some other as well. They don’t want to lose their spots to the recently joined master level mages.

It’s fine since we can catch up with Thomas and the others while practicing on our own. But I have a new thought.

What if we swap the horse with horse monsters? Then the journey will be faster.

Even now, we’re already fast enough. We could travel around the continent in just one year. It’s because once in a while, they would ask me to transport them with portal.

But like before, if I’m on a mission, then there’s no way but to travel normally. Which is fine since the agents are strong enough to face some monsters. But it doesn’t mean that there’s no danger.

If we have horse monsters to pull the carriages, we can get to the next destination sooner. I think I’ll go and meet Ray after the show in the next city is over.

“...It’s boring, isn’t it?” Victoria suddenly asked.

“Not really. It’s peaceful. If you don’t like it, I can return you back to Cassau,” I said.

“I don’t want to. If I return, I won’t be able to witness Thomas’ love life,” she said.

“Then find something to do so you won’t get bored. Aren’t you a writer? Write something,” I said.

“I can’t. My mind keeps wandering to Thomas’ story. Until I witnessed everything, I don’t think I can write anything,” she said.

Why don’t you just worried about your own future instead of someone else? Is not what I asked her.

I know that she lived a long life. And she’s practically immortal. Or at least no one has found what can kill her yet. So her life must be so boring.

That’s why she loves to watch other people. To mind other people’s business. Because everything else about her is not that important.

Maybe I’ll be like her in the future. When I lived long enough to surpass everyone’s lifespan. Though if someone can reach the stage beyond master level, I think can have companions for a few thousand years. But if I also reached that stage in my magic, combined with the fact that I’m an Aura Master, then I would live for a very long time.

But I already have two long-living familiars. Victoria who is a slime, and Ray who is an Abyss Horse. Though I’m not so sure about Ray yet. But it’s possible that Ray might outlive us.

It’s good that I will have companions for a long time. But that’s for later. After the cult is destroyed.

“Then what if I tell you a spoiler about how it will probably end? About Thomas and Sandra I mean,” Burnes suddenly suggested.

If Victoria was given a spoiler, then she might be busy with her own imagination rather than getting bored. I think that’s a good idea?

“Spoiler? Does it mean that you know how it will end?” Victoria asked.

“Well, it’s not really a hundred percent. So there are still doubts. After all, feelings are not something that we can investigate so easily. And finding the proof is hard. But at least I know something that is possible to happen. Do you want to hear?” Burnes asked.

“Let’s hear it then. Just what is it that an expert like you found out about their relationship,” Victoria said.

Burnes smiled lightly before he gave his answer. It’s a two-word answer that made Victoria’s imagination run wild.

“It’s mutual.”

“YEAAAH!”

It’s not like it will come true one hundred percent. But it means something.

It means that the woman is also has some sort of feeling toward Thomas. And that is good enough to know.

Next, we just need to get their feelings blossomed. Though the agents will help Thomas. So I will just watch.
