The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 110: What Candy Wants

“...hey. Does anyone ever thought that time goes by very quickly? I thought we were just travelled to Cassau the other day, but suddenly, we’re already near the capital. Does that ever bother anyone?”

Currently, we are in a carriage heading to the capital. We rented two carriages for all of us to travel to the capital for sightseeing.

In the first carriage, there was me, Sophie, Lina, Daniel, Hannah, and Penny. In the other carriage, the other were there. Kayla, Angela, Victoria, Sonia, Ruby, and Sam.

At first I was just asking the kids if they want to visit the capital. The kids were happy to go to the capital, and obviously, Hannah’s mother will join. And as a part of the team, of course Kayla, Angela, and Sophie will come along. Then I asked Lina if she want to go as well so she can have a break since she has been taking care of the house since we bought it.

Ruby at first refused, but since Sam wanted to go to the capital to check some price of valuables, Ruby also joined us.

Victoria is obviously come along, while Sonia is bored at home alone so she followed. But if there’s a trespasser entering our home, she will notice.

It should have been a few days since we sightseeing Cassau when we already on the move again. I never thought that time can go by so fast. For me, it feels like just a day? An hour? Or maybe one chapter of a story. That just shows how fast time goes.

.....

I asked if anyone feels the same.

“Nope. I feel time goes by normally,” replied Sophie.

“Master, it has been precisely 5 days since you entered Cassau. And 2 days since we left,” said Lina.

“Well, I guess it’s just me.”

Seriously, what have we done in the past five days?

On the first day, we arrived Cassau. Then we show our new house to Daniel and the others and show them their rooms. There’s a plan to build more room and another floor above. But it will only be done in a few month or maybe a year.

Why more room? I don’t know. Go ask Victoria. At least we can make our building into an inn if we have more room.

At first I thought of building a clan. That might be nice. I can be the leader who do nothing all day while the other members do all the job. And I don’t have to work again.

I’ll just go diving and hunt treasures. It’s nice because there are no competition in this business. I can do it anytime I want and give them to Sam to sell. Even if I’m rich in the future, going treasure hunting underwater can get me some kind of ancient magic tools. Maybe there’s one that can help me protect my home.

Well, the first day is just sightseeing. Then the second day, when I want to go diving, the kids also want to see the sea. So all of us going to the beach. I taught those who can’t swim to swim.

I went diving and get less than what I usually caught, but that’s fine since we’re just having fun together at the beach.

Then the third day, Angela asked me to go to the sea again so she can train casting her magic underwater. Kayla and Sophie joined, while the others were too tired and choose to rest for the whole day.

While training, I made sure that Sophie’s training spot is away from us. Being shocked while swimming is not something I want to taste.

Then the fourth day, we decided to go to the capital, and here we are at the fifth day! We can see the capital already.

Aren’t training arc is something that needed to be explained better? It should take one or two at the very least in how these girls trained. But it ended so fast that I almost forgot about it. What did they practiced anyway? I just bring them to a good spot to practice and left them alone until I picked them up.

Then the next day we left for the capital? It was too fast!

“Is that the capital?”

“What’s that tall thing?”

The kids are so excited to see the capital.

“That is the Library Tower. They have many kind of books there.”

Maybe I could learn more about the truth from there. Is the one called Evil God is the same man who killed Sonia and Victoria? And how come he’s still alive?

Maybe he reincarnated like Victoria, or become a ghost like Sonia and give order to other people.

There are many things I don’t understand, but I’m just too lazy to understand them. I guess if it’s important, I’ll look for some info about it.

While we were still away from the capital, someone come over to our carriages. It’s someone we know already, Candy.

We stopped our horses and greet her.

“Hello! Have you been waiting for us?”

“Yes. There’s something I want to ask you,” said Candy.

“What is it?”

“Can we go somewhere private?”

Candy seems to not want anyone else to know what she’s trying to say, so I left the carriages and tell the others to keep moving.

“You all can go there. I’ll come to you soon after we have a chat.”

“Do you need me to stay with you?” Victoria asked.

“If I need you, I can just summon you. Go with the others. If you reached the capital before I catch up with you, go look for an inn.”

“Okay! Bye! Candy, Bye!”

After sending them off, I followed Candy to a hut in the forest.

“What is it?”

“The king asked me to be his ally, but I haven’t made my decision yet.”

“And how can I help you with that?”

“I just want to ask you about the future.”

“Didn’t Albert already told you everything I told him?”

“You just called his majesty the king by name?”

“He said I can. Well, privately I guess,” I said.

“Well, yes. I have heard them from his majesty. But I want to hear them from you.”

“Alright.”

Then I told her exactly what I have told Albert. Just the cult keep making trouble and finally we were at war against the cult.

“That’s the same thing I heard from his majesty,” said Candy.

“Then what are you hesitating about?”

“It’s just... Tim was someone I considered as a father figure. He’s the one who taught me loyalty to the country. But he’s the one who betrayed the country. I just don’t know what’s right anymore.”

Tim was a father figure? The same Tim who kissed a painting of Marie? That’s just crazy!

But I guess everyone has a side no one knows except for the people close to them. No wonder Candy is hesitating.

“How about Ms. Wendy? What’s her decision?”

“She’s at the capital helping his majesty. She instantly made her decision back then. But I still don’t know what to do.”

So Ms. Wendy has made her decision to help Albert. That’s good to hear. At least there’s one person he can trust.

“Oh, and there’s also one other person his majesty trusted. It was his butler, Ian.”

“Hmm? That’s good. Two people at once is a good start. I has only been a few weeks since I met him and to find two people already is great.”

A butler, huh? That’s nice.

“So you’re here to ask me for an advice? Because I’m from the future?”

“Yes. I’m just so lost knowing someone I trust to be a traitor. Tell me what to do?”

“I can’t do that. But if there’s something I can say to you, is for you to not do what you don’t want to do. Do what you want to do is an obvious advice, so it will be best if you don’t do anything you don’t want while doing what you want to do.”

“Like how you don’t want to be involved too deeply with the cult matter so you choose to get his majesty do everything?”

“Yeah, that! So? What about you?”

I asked Candy what she wants to do and what she doesn’t want to do. She didn’t answer me but just keep mumbling.

It’s something I can’t hear even with my good hearing but I can see her mouth keep moving. I should have learned how to read lips movement.

“That’s it!” She said as she smiled brightly. Unlike the previously hesitating Candy.

“What is it?”

“Let me be your girlfriend!”

“...okay, but why?”

Did I just stupidly accepted her confession?

“When I was caught and put into a cage, I was so scared. Then you came and save me. Since then, I feel secure whenever I’m around you especially after seeing your strength defeating those people near the cliff. I guess that’s why I want to hear your advice before deciding things.”

“Well, I’m honored.”

“And I also feel slightly jealous when you’re with the others. Not that I don’t agree with you having a harem. I mean how close you are with Kayla, Sophie, Daniel, Hannah, and the others. I want to be a part of that.”

“Welcome aboard I guess.”

.....

“But I know that if I’m with you, I can do what I want and probably prevent what I don’t want to happen!” Candy exclaimed.

“And what is that?”

“I want to be with you. As for what I want to prevent, I’ll tell you later. When will you meet the king?” Candy asked me.

“Probably tonight. The queen hasn’t delivered her babies yet?”

“No. They said it should be anytime soon.”

“Then I guess I’ll visit them tonight and see her condition. Since you have decided what you want to do, shall we go to the capital?”

“Yes!”

We took our time going to the capital walking hand in hand. She seems so happy to do it. She never shows me before that she has affection toward me so her confession caught me by surprise. But it feels good to have another girl liked me.

But still... I should have forced her to tell me what she wants to prevent how she will do it.

It was a big mistake to not listen to her answer before answering her confession.

But even if she did tell me, I guess I will still have the same answer.

Dammit, me! Stop being so happy by every confession you get from beautiful girls!
