Chapter 66: The First Step (1/2)

“My money…” I say in low voice toneless voice while looking down at the empty box in front of my eyes.

What the heck!?

I know I spend 3000 Yeux in the brothel the other day but still, there should be 2000 Yeux left.

Well, I don’t particularly remember putting my remaining money back in here, but when I last checked the pants I wore that day and founded nothing, I automatically assumed that I must have put it here.

But fuck…

Did someone from the brothel stole my money!? I mean, my clothes were outside the room that day when I was fucking Nina and the prostitutes…

No, this cannot be the case. Such a high-class brothel won’t resort to things like stealing or such.

But then, the only possibility is either me dropping the money, or it getting pickpocketed somewhere. And the latter seems more plausible to me…

Shit! It must have happened when I was passing through the crowd in the red-light area…

{I think that this is a dire situation, master. Hiring prostitutes is the easiest way to do level-specific tasks with temporary women.}

Fuck! Is today freaking cursed or something!?

First, the school building burned down, then I fucking fainted from just seeing a fireball fly at me like a pathetic wimp, and finally, I find out that all my remaining savings are stolen.

Talk about having shitty luck…

{Please don’t call yourself that, master! You are not a wimp!}

Yeah? Who fucking faints like that, huh!? A wimp…

And that asshole Alex is going to ruin my life over this incident.

{Master, I have something I want to confess to you.}

What!? Don’t tell me another bad news. I don’t think I can take it…

{Well, I don’t know if it’s bad or not, but you didn’t faint because of the fear of the fireballs, master. It was I who purposely shut down your body at that time.}

… the fuck!? Why would you do that!?

{I didn’t have any other choice, master. When that boy launched those fireballs, you instinctively tried to counter them by making your own fireball. In fact, you even managed to materialize them a little.}

{If I hadn’t disabled you, I am sure that the fireball would have finished forming and that everyone would have seen it.}

And how the fuck is that bad!? I would have looked so cool doing that!

{Please try to understand, master. I already told you that it’s really rare for someone to perform magic this easily. We can pass it as an accident if done once, but twice? A lot of people would have gotten suspicious of you.}

Oh, and what would have happened if those fireballs would have somehow hit me!? You don’t care about that, do you!?

{Of course, I care, master. I knew about the magical safety field and its reliability beforehand. There is no way for you would have gotten injured.}

Well, my body didn’t get injured, but my pride did. And anyway, why the fuck was Alex able to do it as well!?

Even his fireballs were way bigger than mine. Is he that much of a bigshot!?

{No. I didn’t get much time to observe but something was wrong there, master. Don’t you think he should have joined his class at the same time as you? If so, then from where did he even learn to make the fireball?}

{You were able to do it because I taught you. Unless some teacher instantly did the same with him, which is unlikely, it should have been impossible for him to create a fireball.}

Then, do you know how he did it?

{I have my doubts, but I would like to confirm them before telling you, master. Because wrong information can be fatal as well. Especially when it’s about your enemies.}

I-I guess… Anyway, now that I don’t have any money left, going to the prostitutes is out of the picture. What should I do now?

{It is true that this poses as a rather bigger obstacle than one would imagine. With your current system-level and skills, it’s really hard for you to have sex with temporary women without any repercussions.}

Can we not use beast’s scent?

{Well, we can, but the woman we use it on will remember all the things afterward. There is a high chance that she might do complain. To be honest, beast’s scent becomes independently useful only after buying its upgrades at higher levels.}

Shit… This is bad…

{There is still no need for us to panic right now, master. Even though the difficulty is much higher than before, with proper planning and efficient use of the assets in our hand, we can still get temporary women successfully.}

And how are you planning to do that?

{Well, the first part is to select the women with whom you can meet regularly. As you are a high school student, this should pose no problem as there are plenty of girls choose from. But well, we might face a few problems because I plan to kill two birds with one stone, master.}

Two birds with one stone?

{Yes. This guy, Alex, who bullied you earlier. Is he popular in your school?}

Well, that fucker looks good and is in the school’s basketball team, so of course, he is popular. But why do you want to know this?

{Well, if he is as much popular as you are saying he is, then it goes without saying that he must have a girlfriend… right?}

Obviously, he has got a hot girlfriend, but what do we have to do with—

Oh… fufufu.

“I-Is this fine, Jacob?” Rebecca asks with a red face.

“Yes, this is good. Very good…” I say in a low voice.

Right now, me and Rebecca are sitting in a public park, looking at the vivid and beautiful sky as the sun goes down the horizon.
