The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 113 - Victoria's Making New Friends

"I guess our meeting is over then? Can I go home and continue crying?"

Since the business with the king is over, I want to go rest and cry. I'm still not finished crying to my own weakness. My lovers.

Not that I won't argue or fight with them, but if they want to ask something, I will do it. Why am I such an idiot? I need to learn how to refuse.

"Why are you such a crybaby?" Albert asked me.

"I just realized how lonely I was in my past live and now when I thought of having someone depending on me, I won't be able to refuse them. Especially if they are my lovers. I thought we won't get to meet each other again after your babies are born, but seems like we will continue cooperating for a long time. Can't you just replace the mastermind and kill them already?"

"If it was that easy, I would have done that already. It's hard enough to replace someone I can trust, and it's harder to replace the mastermind. When Candy brought here the other secret agents, I want your help to eliminate the untrustworthy one." Albert looked at my eyes when he said that.

He just asked me to kill several secret agents who were supposed to be loyal to the country without batting an eye. He's really serious about eliminating threat, huh.

"I'll try. But how can we know if they are traitors or not? What if they are also evil even though they are not part of the cult? Even with your lie detection skill and my see-through vision, it will be difficult to judge if they can be trusted or not."

"Yeah. But at least we can eliminate the obvious traitors first. That mean I have to ask those without explosives inside their mouth personal questions. I need to prepare some questions for them. Right now, we only have few people with us. Me, Marie, Shirley, Ian, Wendy, Candy, Roy, Sonia, and Victoria."

"And my friends." I reminded him that I have friends that might want to help.

"And Roy's friends. For now, our goal is to gather allies we can trust, and stop the cult's plan of using monsters' Stampede to destroy cities. But I guess it's better if their plan worked."

Hearing that, I can't hold back my feeling and just grabbed the king by the collar and lifted him up.

"Are you thinking of killing innocent people? If you're planning to do that, then I'm gonna kill you right now!"

In anger, I threaten Albert. The others are too late to react, because once they realized the king's life is at my mercy, Victoria who understand my thought managed to stop the one who makes their moves. Ms. Wendy and Ian.

As for Candy, Marie, and Shirley, they are unprepared. When they see that Victoria stopped Ian and Ms. Wendy, they are confused but they didn't do anything.

"It was necessary! If their existence never come to light, no one will join us in our fight against them! No one is willing to fight when they don't know if we have enemy or not! And other countries will think that we are preparing ourselves to conquering their lands!"

I let go of my grip and let Albert fall to the floor.

Albert then continued explaining.

"I didn't say I will let innocent people die. I will send a group of trusted people to stop the monsters from destroying the cities when the time come. What I'm trying to do is to make their existence known, so I need those Stampedes to happen, but I have to make sure that everyone I send able to defeat all the monsters while protecting and evacuating the civilians. That's why we need powerful and trusted allies."

"Good. I was just testing you. I'm not planning to kill you at all, just threatening. Casualties are difficult to avoid. But if you actually planning to let innocent people die… I'm not planning to do anything with you." I said.

"So it's fine either way?"

"No. Like I said, I'm not planning to do anything with you. Which mean I don't care about this country anymore and won't help you ever again."

"…good thing I have the right answer."

The atmosphere turned back to normal again. No more threatening the king. Ms. Wendy and Ian also let go of their killing intent.

But damn! They are really experienced in killing! Even the butler! My knees are shaking when they aimed their killing intent at me. Good thing Victoria moves first.

"But that means we need more people, right? We need those who are powerful enough to kill the monsters, and we don't know what kind of monsters will appear. They also need to be able to evacuate the citizen safely."

Ian who has calmed his killing intent down, stand up properly again and gave his thought to the king's plan. Where's they old man who want to kill me? Even Ms. Wendy is still looking at me with hostility.

"That's why in each city, we need to have at least two groups. One group is the one responsible in killing the monsters, and the other group is responsible in evacuating the people. We also need to make sure that the people won't notice that we already know the stampede will happen beforehand. If they do, even if we save everyone, the people will target their hostility toward us." Albert said.

"Well, you will think about it. I will go back to the inn now. I'll check on Marie's condition everyday but don't expect me to come here since I can just see her condition from afar. If you need anything, contact me through Sonia."

"I will. Can I ask for more of this accessories? If everyone have this, we will be able to gain advantage against the cult." Albert asked if he can have a lot of accessories to call Sonia.

"I can give everyone here one of them, but I won't give you more. Since Sonia is for my personal use only… wait, that come out wrongly. Well, you understand."

I just used her so I can contact my friends easily. Not for her to be used by strangers. She also has her own will so if the one who called her is an asshole, she can refuse the call.

"I see. Then, I'll contact you after we gathered some candidates."

Before I take my leave, I was stopped by Victoria who seems to have an idea.

"Wait! Roy! We know people who can help."

"Who?"

"For evacuation, the level of their magic are not important. But what's important is for them to be disciplined and organized. We know a group like that."

"Really? Can you tell me?"

Victoria seems to know someone who can help and Albert is curious about it and asked her.

While I… still don't remember who she's talking about.

"Roy, for evacuation, they just need to be physically fit. They need to go around the place to look for a shelter, and convince the people to follow them. They just needed to be trained more in giving instructions."

Trained more? Don't tell me!

"You mean them? They are just bribes for him so I can have more freedom there. But who would have thought that they will be useful in this time."

"Who are you talking about?" Albert asked curiously. Everyone in the room also curious about this physically fit group we talked about.

"They are the city guards of Mellian city."

"City guards? Tell me more."

"It's just a bribe I gave them so I can freely do anything in that city."

"A bribe?" Everyone keep getting more and more confused.

"I'll tell you about it! The story started from a one sided love of the city guard captain, Hill, and the ones whose everything is his type, Roy!"

"Disclaimer: This story is based on the point of view of Victoria. Her version of the story might consist of lies and deception. For clarification, I AM STRAIGHT! I love women!"

I have to declare it and make sure everyone understand.

Victoria tells her version of the story. But she didn't lie about how I gave the guards a training set they needed to practice, while lying to them saying that those practice set will make a body that Hill dislike.

"I see. It's good to know that they are trained and motivated. Although their motivation is to make sure their bodies are not to be their captain's liking, it's still good. Maybe I need to tell the guards here to train like that as well."

"Yeah, but don't you think as someone who can tell a lie, you're trusting too much in Victoria's story about… the other things?"

I asked Albert whose keeping his distance from me. Ian also stood in the corner of the room now.

"I'm just… Victoria is a good storyteller that I got so into it."

"Albert… I need to tell you that there are, in fact, a lot of women who loves that kind of story. Marie, you're pregnant but you can't be too excited about Victoria's story that you get a nosebleed."

"Ah! Shirley, get me my handkerchief!"

"Wait. I need to wipe my nose first."

Albert and Ian who saw that has expression of horror.

Victoria, is full of smile after telling the story.

"The two will never end up together, but their feelings they have to each other are real!"

Albert choose to calm his wife down.

"Umm… Marie, Most of her story makes my lie detection skill activated. It got activated so many times that it makes me about to vomit. You can't believe everything she said! Marie? Shirley? Anyone?!"

The girls' faces are red when they heard Victoria's story. Except for Sonia who is translucent.

And so, tonight's meeting come to an end, and I returned to the inn where the other stayed.

Marie, instead of resting, after hearing that Victoria wrote stories in the past, she wanted to hear her stories together with the other girls. Ian took that chance to escape as well saying he have something to do.

Which means Albert is the only man who has to hear Victoria's stories until late at night.

After returning to the inn, I prepared a letter to send to Hill. I just said that some noble is interested in their training to make their body all muscular, so they might visit anytime soon.

I didn't tell him that the noble is actually a king in disguise. I'll leave persuading Hill and the others to Albert.

But Albert will only go after his children are born. So it might takes few weeks before he can go.
