83 A sgoods idea 3 (1/2)

In the midst of my mind, a certain discussion was taking place between my tenant and the ant queen. Both of them had talked about the events, that had unfolded right in front of them. Though their focus lied entirely elsewhere.

” What even was the outcome of the mission he gave you?” a slightly annoyed voice said.

The ant queen was surprised, it was a first, that he asked her about a mission given by her reckless host.

” Sir, his hypothesis had been correct. The Observer views this world through the interaction of the Magic particles.I have been discovered the moment, I touched the ground.None of the strategies he came up with, work as the magic particles are too small.”

” What else?” the voice did not seem to be surprised by the statement of the queen ant, it had been in his expectations.

” The other objectives were a great success as well. I could confirm, that our matter is capable of binding the mana particles. This interference was done on a small scale and covered up by the actions I had used as I scouted the area. During my scouting mission, I discovered many positions of interest.” the ant queen said without a change of expression.

” His plan will lead to a lot of trouble”The strange voice had turned solemn, as he thought about the future complications arising out of the endeavour of his partner. Despite his worries, he could not prevent a small chuckle from escaping his lips.

” But I have seen enough of his past life to know, that the Observer is in for a rude awakening if it does not respect this human. This brat is truly nefarious even by my standards.”

The ant queen looked surprised after hearing about this judgement. He was a creature, that had existed for countless ages and yet he viewed this human so highly, that truly baffled her. She could not get her head around the fact, that such a lowly life form, was evaluated that way.

” Sir, please excuse my curiosity, but what exactly makes this human special? In my eyes, he does not offer anything besides his knowledge.

” His knowledge certainly is very intriguing, but it is not the thing I have set my eyes upon. This is the very first body, I have been in that seems to deny every magic it comes into contact with. A being without mana, something this world has never seen. I am getting excited just thinking about all the possibilities.”

He was giggling as he spoke about all the prospects his current body has to offer. This general excitement filled the space with a strange vibe.

The ant queen did not know how long it had been since she saw him react like that.Was it after the final victory against his nemesis or was it after he resisted the heavenly thunder after angering the heavens?

The laughing continued loudly, without any care in the world.

” It truly had been long since I felt so agitated. I had forgotten this kind of feeling, but this world has much more to offer than I had initially expected.”

The ant queen did not want to disturb this happy occasion but the circumstances did not allow to avoid the inevitable anymore.

” Sir, please do not forget about the compensation he has demanded.”

The cheerful atmosphere turned into a chilling one in a matter of seconds. It was obvious, that he did not like the words the ant queen had just spoken.

” That bastard, he may hide behind his fancy words and smile but on the inside, he is rotten to the core.”

The anger in his voice nearly became tangible and his breathing was heavy and forceful. The ant queen could understand his response, that demand was utterly humiliating for him. But he had to honour it because the consequences were way worse for both sides.

” What's wrong with his mind, to make me into his personal jukebox. As if I did not have anything better to do, than repeating sounds whenever he wants. Does it look like an entity like me, should be used like an idiotic tool? It's absolutely irritating, this hateful wretch.

This deal was made, back than her host briefly lost his consciousness after the explosion from one of his experiments.

His demands were quite simple, he asked his partner to take over his body for a brief period of time, in order to fool the Observer. He brought up several options, that he would need and kept on stressing the importance of these measures.

After a fierce negotiation, they agreed on the following conditions.

1 Her host had to show him memories, that caused huge emotional stimuli.

2 Should his partner refuse to hand over the control of his body, he would take it back by force. Afterwards, his partner would lose access to all memories and future knowledge.

3 He was allowed to utilize the abilities of the other party if he paid with memories of equal value.

4 This contract needed both parties to agree before becoming void.

At the point the contract had been signed, the ant queen wondered why her host agreed so quickly to the terms written in it. The expression on his face should have been a foreboding sign, but she thought his panicked acts where a result of his body falling to his doom.
