Chapter 341 - Fantasies are Not Reality (1) (1/2)
”The Roselia and Nuelle families are close these days,” Delia pointed out their collaboration together.
The cave that I had helped Luke purchase from Ben's family had raked trillions of profits on both sides. There were many precious plants, jewels and water from the years Marion slept, absorbing all her mana. Meanwhile, the Nuelle family used these routes as transportation for trade, saving costs from using teleportation gates like I had suggested. They never thought of working together until Luke and I entered their fraction, making us on the same side.
”We're also spending time with Ben during summer vacation,” I recalled.
Since we already fulfilled our volunteer hours last year, I thought I could go back to the third district for the week. However, everything seemed to be already arranged without me knowing. I still felt annoyed from when I figured out a few days ago.
”I'm going back home!” I happily started to pack my stuff in advance.
I was almost skipping inside my room, about to call for the self-driving car next to drive me home. I was waiting for this day for months. For the past few nights, I haven't been sleeping, planning out my days without Luke. There were so many places I wanted to go during the break from the competition, but I couldn't fit everything within a day.
Luke knocked on my door before coming inside. I quickly tried to hide all the stuff laid down on the bed just in case I would earn another lecture from him. But he opened the door while I was still kicking my stuff under the bed, out of sight.
”Is there anything you need?” I pretended nothing was wrong.
”I was going to let you know about the plans I made for both of us during vacation,” Luke noticed the stuff I tried to hide.
”You mean your plans? I don't need to know. I'm going to the third district to visit my parents,” I brightly smiled.
I was going to the library to read more comic books. The sweets shop was also another place I planned to go after going to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. Maybe I would even attend an idol concert later if I had the time. With the grand amount of money piled up in my savings account that I barely used since I was in the first district, I could do almost anything.
”Travel between the third district is closed during that time for an investigation since there was an issue with an unknown person using the gates and routes,” Luke explained.
”Then I can always stay with Shelly, Ellen or Sienna,” I quickly changed my plans.
The ban on travel between districts couldn't possibly last for that long when so much trade depended on it. Plus, I could visit some normal places with my friends while staying in their mansions in the meantime. In fact, Sienna and Delia were spending time together, enjoying their time at a resort. I had declined their offer a few days ago, saying I would go to the third district.
