Chapter 97: Actually, I was the was one getting deceived. (1/2)

Chapter of the week: 1/2 Translator: Reizenchuu Editor: Kenny Stryker

Solving the tragedy that happened in that intersection, I finally arrived at Merus designated place.

So its here.

Halting my steps, I raised my head to look at the 634 meters sky tower before me; one of the highest towers in Japan. And since it was summer holidays, the place was overflowing by a crowd of people, that even standing still in my place a quite difficult task. I often saw this skytower on TV, but looking at it live like this is quite the magnificent sight. As I was letting out a voice of admiration while gazing at the top of the tower, I heard Meru clattering in my phone.

Amazing, Desu! Looking at it directly like this is completely different Desu!

It seems that she got a bit too excited too from witnessing the tower with her own eyes. She probably knew about it somewhere on the internet. The picture she saw there would be uncomparable to the real deal. I internally agreed with Merus remark, however, since Ive been walking this entire time, I couldnt stop the expression of tiredness from reaching my face.

We walked a long path to make it here

After the incident of the large screen, Merus rampage continued non-stop. I already lost count on how many times she dragged me into troublesome situations. I feel that her ability to invade other systems is more of a cheat than my ability, honestly. She doesnt hesitate on invading any electronic device that attracts her interest.

Perhaps its because of her curiosity as a child. No matter how many times I tell her to stop, she still moves to some random device, causing me to go around attracting peoples attention. Unlike her actual age, she acts like a real child. The problem is that whenever she disappears, I have to wait for her to notice me as I dont have any measures to contact her. I really need to find some counter-plan for this kind of situation. That was the thought that crossed my mind everytime Meru vanished from my phone.

Master! Lets go, Desu! Alright, lets enter.

Urged by Meru, I stepped inside the skytower.

-

Lining up to take the elevator, we ascended to the top floor where the view of the city, including the path we walked to make it here, unfolded in front of our eyes.

Wow, I now understand why they called it a tower.

Approaching the glass window, I leaned slightly forward to get a better view. I could see my house as a tiny point from here, and people were no longer visible. I couldnt help but get amazed by the view since it was my first time. Although I wasnt moved as Meru who was getting too thrilled from gazing at the city.

Uwaa!! This is really high, Desu!! This is the highest place Ive ever been in, Desu!! People do indeed look like trash from here Desu!! Trash!! Trash, Desu!! Stop saying trash too much

Meru shouted with joy as she turned her back to the screen and took a posture of peeking at the back camera from the inside. I felt uncomfortable hearing the word trash continuously pronounced by a little girl.

She is too influenced by the internet. Lets forbid her from using it for a while. Thinking about a way to fix her infected mind, I moved back my gaze to the scenery in front of me and forgot about everything else. It was a splendid view.

Its a beautiful scenery indeed, master!! Yeah, youre right.

I faintly smiled when hearing the same thoughts leaving Merus mouth as well.

By the way, I came here because you asked me to do so, are you fine with just this place?

I came to this skytower without asking her for the reason. I wonder if she is satisfied with just that. I was intending to take anywhere she desired on earth. Meru answered me with her usual dazzling smile.

Yes! I wanted to see it with my own eyes since the day I heard of it on the internet, Desu. Its even taller than the golem, Desu!

Of course, its taller than that golem. It would be terrifying if the golem was taller than the tower. Revealing a bitter smile to Merus innocent remark, I thought of a good idea.

Hey, Meru. Want to go to an even higher place? Higher place, Desu?

Meru inclined her head in wonder when she heard my suggestion. I answered her with a grin as if I were notifying her to look forward to it and vanished from that place using teleportation magic.

-

Teleporting to an empty spot and stood at the summit of the tower.

This place is even higher.

I looked around myself. As the spot was located much higher in altitude, even the buildings were looking like tiny points. The wind was so strong as well. If it wasnt thanks to my ability, I would have long lost my balance and fell to the ground.

What do you think, Meru? This is unbelievably high, Desu!! People are getting even more trash-like than before, Desu!! Could stop saying trash already

Is it her favorite word or something like that? I got slightly perplexed at seeing Meru screaming trash with a slaked face, but at least she was having fun. There is a chance that someone will notice us standing here. I used toErasure Magicto hide our presence and concentrated back on admiring the sight. Every time I took a glance at Merus overjoyed face, I became more convinced that taking her here was totally worth it.

Master.

Suddenly, she called me with a sincere voice.

Thank you very much for bringing me to this place, Desu. What happened to you all of a sudden?

When I asked for the reason she thanked me so seriously, Meru started talking while keeping the serene ambiance she exuded unpredictably.

Do you remember, master? The time when we were left together alone in the ruin.

I was taken aback when she brought up that topic. It wasnt the best of the memories I had to bring back.

Y-Yeah. I shall never forget the moment when you invited me to serve you, Desu.

I honestly dont mind if you forget about it. Listening to Meru reminiscing the past, I prayed for her to forget about the words I said when I invited her to turn my side. After that event, I regretted speaking those words everytime I remembered them.

I want you to be mine, Meru!
