Chapter 796 - 796 Back to the Circus
796 Back to the Circus
Finally! A free time! Though for how long, I don’t know.
Now that the mission is on break. I don’t have anywhere else I need to investigate. I will leave it to the agents.
It was yesterday when we barely escaped from the battle-addict Kraken. Though it’s more correct to say that the Kraken was just relieving his stress from the boredom . But by fighting? That’s a battle-addict.
So now, we will move when the agents have finished their investigation.
I have delivered many agents who will infiltrate the villages in those islands and hopefully, they can also enter the city. And I think it will be a few months until the report is complete.
I told them to not enter the city in the island castle through the obvious opening. Because that’s a trap.
The agents who were sent for the mission are old. But still fit enough to work. So they are fit to be farmers, carpenters, or other jobs that needed strength even though they are old.
They are just around advanced level. So it might be difficult. But they are willing to do it.
And there’s also Spot to think of.
.....
After facing the Kraken, Spot said that he needed preparation so he will be confident to face the Kraken next time alongside his children. And after I brought them back to Ca.s.sau, they left.
“Sorry to ask you this, but I would like for us to be brought to Monsters World so we can train there. We can’t protect the sea for a while, but we needed this to get stronger to face the Kraken the second time. And we can’t do a mission with you until we’re done here.”
That’s what Spot said to me after I brought them back. Not just Spot. His children also looked at me in favor for that request. Seems like Spot knows something that can make them all stronger.
“I understand. I’ll explain it to Albert and the others.”
That’s what I told them before opening a huge portal for them to enter Monsters World.
After that, I reported to the kings about the result of my last day of investigation.
From how many islands I found, and how many of them were lived by humans and how many were for monsters.
I also told them about the Kraken and also Spot’s decision to go to Monsters World to get stronger so Spot and his children can defeat the Kraken the next time they faced each other.
The kings allowed it. After all, thanks to Spot and his children, the sea has been safe for a while already. So there shouldn’t be any problem unless the cult suddenly decided to attack from the sea.
The agents who investigated the city connected by the cult’s summoners to the base we destroyed in the Monsters World also found something. They learned a few other possible locations of the cult’s bases. Though we still haven’t found where the cult leader is.
And I don’t need to go there by myself. The agents will take care of it.
After all, it’s best for the kingdoms to let their people handle it instead of getting my help every time.
Because while the agents will continue to be loyal to their kingdoms after the cult is gone, I won’t. I will take a rest and stop fighting when the cult is gone.
That’s for the future, but it’s also good for the agents to do their own job instead of relying on me all the time.
That’s how I get some rest. For how long, I don’t know.
And today, after waking up late in the afternoon and fill my stomach, I checked my clothing store.
I haven’t been able to properly check it. So as their employer, I need to check the store.
...It was doing very well. I thought that I heard Victoria saying that the clothes here are not suitable for the n.o.bles. And for commoners, they just felt that the clothes are uncommon.
But after advertising the clothes by letting my employees, the girls I saved from Monsters World, walking around on the street wearing the clothes from the store, more people are coming. Even from other cities, they would come just to buy some clothes.
As for my employees, they are happy with their lives. Some of them even managed to get a lover. Or two. I don’t care how many as long as they don’t cause trouble with my store. Though I guess they can’t really escape from their former lives as prost.i.tutes yet.
I also checked other branches of my store. And everything seems great.
I returned for dinner, then play with the kids before I went to bed.
The next day, I’m still free. I guess I’ll go back to the circus.
Knowing that the enemy this time will only be stronger than the last, everyone is busy getting stronger. And they also trying to meet up with Sungla.s.ses to learn more about strategy thanks to his previous result as the commander.
For his next duty, Sungla.s.ses will need to split the army into at least three teams. Each team will attack one island. And it will be difficult for Sungla.s.ses to give instructions directly even with the use of a phone.
Anyway, today the house feels quiet. Unlike yesterday. Though yesterday was because I woke up late. And everyone already finished training.
“Lina, did Sungla.s.ses borrowed Elsie again?” I asked Lina.
“Yes. That’s why Sunny feels lonely. So I thought that I will bring her to the Monsters Village so she can feel relaxed when being spoiled by the elves,” Lina said.
Sunny is being worshiped by the elves. And so, when Sunny feels lonely and bored, Lina would bring her to meet the elves. Or she would just bring Tia, her contracted monsters which is the Elf Queen, here. But I guess today Lina will bring Sunny to that side.
“Today I will return to the circus. If you need anything, contact me through your phone,” I said to Lina.
And so, I returned back to the circus. Unlike previous days earlier when I was just one of the audiences, this time I will return as a performer.
I opened a portal to Thomas’ location. Not in front of him, but beside him so that I won’t surprise him.
I have contacted him that I will return today. But when I get there, Thomas was being unresponsive.
He didn’t even feel my presence even though I’m not hiding it. He’s just sitting there with a sad face.
I’ve seen him this way back when I watched the circus. I didn’t greet him or other performers, so I just looked at him from the audience seat. And he looked sad just like today.
“Thomas! Good morning!”
“Whoa! What are you doing surprising me like that?!”
“I’m not surprising you. I just greeted you. But you didn’t answer at all. Is there anything wrong?” I asked.
“No, it’s nothing. Welcome back, Roy! How long will you be here?” Thomas asked as if there’s nothing wrong at all.
Well, if that’s what he wants me to think, that’s fine. I think it will be easy to find out what he was thinking later. I can ask Burnes or the others.

“I don’t know. Maybe for a while. I don’t think we will make any move in the next few months. So I guess I can stay here until the tour is over,” I said.
Right now, we are in Varadis. The circus had just finished performing in the capital. So I think I have enough time until the tour is over.
We planned the tour from Ca.s.sau in Tatrama, then to Arturo, Varadis, Consenza, and back to Tatrama. While pa.s.sing as many cities and other smaller countries as possible.
Though we now no longer need to get to smaller countries. But we will do it. Because we are entertainers.
Even more if those places have been infiltrated by the cult or even attacked directly in a war. The people there needed rea.s.surance that everything will be fine. And a watching a circus is a good way to relax after the war. So we will still go there.
“Oh. I see.”
Thomas just said that before he returns to his dreamland. Why is he smiling then turn sad, then smiling again? What is he thinking?
“...Then I will go and greet the others. See you later.”
Thomas didn’t reply. Just sat there while daydreaming about something.
I don’t think it’s something bad. It shouldn’t be an emergency. But as a leader of this circus, it will be bad if he didn’t pay attention to his surrounding.
I think it’s fine for now. And he also didn’t put up a performance as much as the others since he’s just the leader of the caravan. But he still gave advice to us on our performance. He’s still the most important person in this circus even if he’s not performing.
Let’s see... the others are mostly still sleeping. I came here to early I guess.
Well, I’ll just waste some time playing poker with those who are already awake. We will arrive in the next city later in the afternoon. So it will be at least a few days before we can perform again.
