798 Hearing it from Thomas

...We’re just here waiting for Thomas to finish his breakfast. But it has been an hour already!

It’s just some sandwiches! Why would anyone take that long to eat them?!

Even after I left to chat with the master level mages who joined the circus recently and came back, Thomas still hasn’t finished eating yet.

There are three master level mages who joined the circus. All of them came from the Magicless Area. The recently recruited members of our alliance.

One is the master level summoner. But because he never realized the existence of the Pear-y Fruit, he can only make a contract with one monster unfortunately. So he’s still searching for one that fits him.

His other magic was not that great since he only focused on his physical abilities for the last few decades. But if we can get a powerful monster for him, that’s enough. And since he’s a master level summoner, I can ask him for some guidance for me to improve my level.

Though since he didn’t even know about portal magic until I told him, I guess I still have more knowledge than him. But at least I can find out how to be a master level summoner.

Next is the tamer. Seems like the summoner and the tamer get along really well in that small village of ten. They even came here together. Maybe because they both worked with monsters.

He’s also a master level tamer. And he has ice element which has reached expert level. But just like the summoner, he’s now focused on his physical strength.

.....

The same could be said to the last person. A woman who was also a master level at fire element.

There is also someone else who has reached master level in her fire element. And like other master level mages we have, they are guiding other mages so they can improve their level faster.

And because there’s another fire master level mage, she said that she will join the circus instead because there’s no need for two people to teach the same thing. And the other circus members here can also taught her and the other two about magic control as well while training to be a performers.

Those three decided to perform something that needed physical strength. But they are also interested in other performance. So they are still training.

They might be the oldest. But they are the newest members who still need practice to be in the show.

And they can’t just use their full power. Circus meant to be entertaining. Not just a show of strength. That’s why the others are teaching them the basics.

After talking with those three, I returned back to see that Thomas is still hasn’t finished his meal.

“He’s taking too long. Why isn’t anyone talking to him?” I asked to myself.

And as usual, when I’m talking to myself, someone is replying. Because I was actually almost never by myself.

“The others are all agents. Experienced agents. They are taught to keep a cool head and be patient at all time. So of course they don’t mind if the journey got delayed. And other than agents, there are three master level mages who have lived for over a century at least. Taking their time is a normal thing for them. Though I think you’re the only one who is impatient even though your lifespan could be longer than any of them combined,” Victoria said.

Yeah. Just by becoming an Aura Master, I can live far longer than a master level mage. But I just can’t seem to take my time.

“I guess it just means that I don’t have much hobbies. Or maybe, I’m just the kind of man who wants to finish my job as soon as possible and relax. Though since there’s no strict schedule, I guess I should be more relaxed,” I said.

“That’s a good thinking. But you’re not the one to listen to your own advice, huh?” Victoria said as I approached Thomas who is still daydreaming.

“Thomas. Something must have troubling you. I can lend Victoria so you can talk to her. While I just stand here and pretend that I’m a statue,” I said to Thomas.

“So it’s just him talking to me?! Why not help him directly? You’re an idiot,” Victoria sighed.

In the end, I tried to get Thomas to talk about his problem. Though I already know what it is. In fact, everyone here already knows what Thomas’ problem is. They just leave him be since they know that Thomas will meet that woman again.

“Roy... and Victoria as well. You’re right. If I go on like this, I will only be a problem for everyone else. Roy, I trust you. So I will tell you what happened. But please don’t tell anyone else about this. It’s embarrassing after all,” Thomas said.

...He totally forgot who the rest of the circus members are. I mean, come on! Thomas, you’re not that stupid!

“I promise that both Roy and I can keep your secret. But that doesn’t prevent the others from figuring it out by themselves. Seeing how everyone didn’t talk about it, I can guess that everyone already know what you’re going to talk about,” Victoria said.

“Really?! Does it mean that... everyone is ignoring me?” Thomas asked.

“Rather than ignoring you, it’s more like they are supporting you so you can make a decision by yourself. Though for Roy who is so impatient, he can’t let things be. Just talk to us. At least it will feel good to have someone to talk with,” Victoria said.

And as promised, I stood still like a statue the whole time Thomas talked with Victoria. Though they both sometimes talked to me. But I just ignored them like a statue would.

So, Thomas talked about the woman. Her name is Sandra. A woman whose husband died a few years ago. And she was not blessed with children.

Thomas said that Sandra was a fan of the circus. She had been depressed ever since her husband died, and traveled around for her job. Though she never said what her job was.

When he watched the circus, she felt better and felt cheerful. So when she saw Thomas entered a pub, she approached him to thank him for the show. And then they both talked a lot.

The next day, because some of the members came down with some illnesses, they delayed the journey. And he could meet Sandra again at night and talked a lot.

Well, there’s not much differences between Thomas’ story and Burnes’ story. So I don’t really need to hear them. And I really became a good statue as I stopped listening to them. Though I still heard Victoria shrieked in excitement after hearing Thomas’ story.

“So, you feel down because you love her and you don’t know if you can meet her again?” Victoria asked.

“Yeah. On the third day, I thought that I would meet her again. But she already left for her job. As to where she’s going, I don’t know. I never asked. I wish that I could talk more with her,” Thomas said.

Then Victoria who is in her human form ever since she’s listening to Thomas’ story, come to my ear to whisper something to me.

“Stop acting like a statue for a few moment. Do we really need to keep it as secret that the others know more about that Sandra than Thomas? Can’t we just tell him why they are not helping him at all?” Victoria asked.

“Well, we can tell Thomas to ask for advise from the others. Maybe he will remember who they are,” I replied. Though I returned back to be a statue again.

Then Victoria returned to face Thomas again.

“Thomas. How about you explain it to the others? They are willing to help you if you ask,” Victoria said.

“But it’s embarrassing, you know?” Thomas said.

“It’s fine. None of them will make fun of you. You should know them well after traveling together for a while already,” Victoria said.

She’s trying to convince him to speak to the others. While I just act like a statue. A statue who knows that the others are already surrounding this tent and listening to everything we talked about from the start.

“Asking for help from them, huh? Oh, right! I forgot! They’re all agents! They must have known everything already. Including who Sandra really is and what her job is,” Thomas finally remembered.

I mean, how could anyone forget? They’re all agents. Did he really think that everyone is a normal people? Well, there’s no normal people who trained to be extremely flexible, extremely strong, and extremely talented. This is a circus after all.

But maybe the fact that he treated everyone here normally is what made everyone is friendly toward him.

And as soon as Thomas remembered, Burnes and the others entered the tent.

“Finally, you remembered! Say the word and we will help you. Or even if you want to find out everything by yourself, we will support you by giving you some advise. We’re agents and we don’t have any lack knowledge in almost everything. Including romance,” Burnes said.

Well, with their help, I think Thomas’ love life will end well. And I’ll just continue watching him until then.

I might be the one with the most girlfriends. But I don’t think I’m good in being romantic. So there’s nothing for me to teach to Thomas.

...Maybe I should be a little more romantic to my lovers. It’s sad to know that they have never experienced many romantic experience with me.
