Chapter 84 – Funny Show of Circus (5)
“Yes. Hello. I am Nord, a Bronze class adventurer.”
To be precise, it’s a bronze class (Jin), but that’s it. At my proud introduction, Mr. Alexandra smiled.
“You were an adventurer. Are you interested in the circus?”
“No.”
Are these people hungry for talent? After saying hello, it seems that the scout’s one-way battle is a national rule in that industry.
“Whoops. Too bad. You look talented.”
“Yes? Yes? I think so!”
– Jump!
Crouching and jumping like a frog, Lari Lula spread her arms out wide. It was a form that imitated the shape of a 9 o’clock clock.
“That’s why I’m teaching you to juggle! Maybe you will fall in love with the circus and join our circus troupe!”
“It’s shocking that you harbored such a disgusting feeling.”
“Ah?! Did you get it out of your mouth? Then just cancel it☆”
“A word spoken once is non-refundable. Effort.”
“That’s right, Captain! I’m sorry, but you have to give up?!”
Oh, right again. This house is doing well. Better than gagcon
Alexandra pulled Lalilura’s cheek. Then the painted cheeks stretched out.
“You, Ruri. How many times do I have to tell you to understand? I told you to avoid misunderstandings around you because bad things are happening these days~? Didn’t you? Yes?”
“Use it! Use it! I’m sorry! Lose, make a mess! View eh eh eh!”
“A kid who knows that teaches the neighborhood kids how to juggle?”
Has the charismatic ace of the circus gone to Ode? I pondered the profound subject for about 10 seconds before moving on to the subject of why Fran’s breasts are so soft.
“I really have no face. This is all my fault as a guardian. If you are angry, please give it to me.”
Mr. Alexandra bowed his head. Seeing that they were talking about guardians, it seemed that those people were Ralilura’s parents. I shrugged.
“Never mind. I asked because I wanted to learn, so a light joke like that is fine.”
It’s pretty fun too.
“Thank you. If this kid behaves arrogantly, it’s okay to hit him and punish him, so please don’t put up with it.”
Alexandra-san smiles and explains the handling of Lalilura as if she is used to it.
She greeted her with dignity, went back to her inn, and wept over the tingling cheek of the abandoned Lari Lura. It seemed that she couldn’t even touch her for fear that her makeup would come off.
“Uhhhhh… Hate me every day…”
“That is you.”
“What am I doing?!”
I was going to talk about it, but I got tired of it, so I quit. Because the innate personality is not easily corrected. Lalilura grunted as if she was sulking.
“Isn’t it something to be happy about being teased by such a lovely beauty? I don’t understand why you’re angry.”
“You’re alive thanks to Britannia’s criminal justice system.”
“Yes? You’re doing too much. What is that? I may cross the line sometimes, but~? If that’s me, you can look at me with aegyo, right?”
“Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be my fault.”
-Wack!
I dealt with it moderately and tried juggling again. It can be up to 4, but from 5, I feel that my arithmetic ability (IQ 98) has reached its limit.
─Puck!
The wrongly thrown ball fell and attacked my wakoo. The ball hit my lips, and I felt very dirty. Fuck it.
“Geug teo teo ttu soybean paste ssamjang.”
─Two! Purrrr! Phu-h-h-h-h!
As she was wiping her mouth with saliva spattering like a horse in displeasure, Lari Lura, who was watching, covered her mouth and laughed as if she had come up with an interesting idea.
“Hey there? How does it feel to walk in place alone when girls who are much shorter than you are getting better and better?”
“Det?”
This year is over the line. Lalilura pointed at Fran and Erica, who were laughing and provoking me.
─Swipe, swish, swish!
A lot of balls kept moving in Fran’s hand. While I was doing something else for a while, Fran had already successfully juggled more than 10 pieces.
Certainly, comparing them like this, the difference in ability was fucking huge. If my dexterity is 1, the francs would be around 20.
About 20 Nords. It is a hand worth 40 silver in terms of money.
“Aren’t you angry because you keep failing? If you call me ‘Seon.
Bringing her hands together like a loudspeaker, Lari Lura said. I slightly popped a blood vessel on my forehead.
“Senior is a bitch. I’ll take care of it, so I’ll keep an eye on it.”
“It’s good to show off your pride, but ~ I think it’s wise for Lari Lu-La to know how to compromise when she wants everything at this time, right? I can give you a good tip, hyot?!”
─Fuck!
She kept blowing on me so I stabbed her in the side. At my ambush, Lalilura liked and twisted her body as she died.
Since the head lady gave permission for violence, there is no more mercy for my violence. Grabbing her by the waist, Lalilura opened her eyes wide in protest.
“Oh, you made a strange noise out of surprise! What are you doing to a senior like the sky?!”
“Ah. Don’t you know This is called vector-true education.”
I answered. Vector-True education is the earth warrior’s ultimate move to nurture a cheeky little boy into an upright youth. It can be said that it is a skill suitable for children’s warriors.
“Look at the heavens.”
Subtly taken aback by Lalilua’s provocation, I set up a watering can with both hands.
“Vector-True Education”.”
“Kyaaah?!”
─Cock-kock-kock-kock-kock!
My gwansu (貫手) stabbing both sides in succession! The seal of the skill that caused me to quit the dojo because I sprained my finger while learning Taekwondo 0 dan was released from another world!!
“Yap—! Yap-! Yap-! Yap-! Yap—!”
“Now, now, wait a minute?! Wow! Ha, don’t, don’t really!”
– Whirik!
Lari Lura got out of my vector-true education by rolling on her back. Truly avoiding clown back tumbling! Truly a master!
“Is this because I was joking around for a while?! Please apologize!”
Lari Lura, wrapped around her sides, protested in anger. He stabbed me a lot, and I felt relieved, and there is nothing difficult about an apology.
“Gogh black. I’m well cared for.”
“Like. The kind me will forgive you☆!”
Fuck watch this Circus troupe ace is fucking cheap.
“Ah, by the way, the trick I told you about. I’ll let you know, so would you like to try it?”
“What is it?”
Curious, I asked. It wouldn’t be a method that only had advantages. It’s not normal, so he must have tried not to teach me as much as possible.
“It would be more accurate to call it an expedient rather than a trick! Simply put, you spend mana while practicing juggling!”
Lalilura made an X with her fingers.
“This is a method that only people who can use mana can try, and it may have a strange habit, but if you do it well, it is possible to establish the sensation you get while handling mana even on your bare body☆!”
“A strange habit?”
“I couldn’t adapt to the difference in senses depending on whether or not I had mana. Because of this, many people get stuck in high-difficulty acrobatics. If you give up, I will understand!”
“You will know if you give up or not.”
This is a kind of training like ‘Standing on a bamboo tree’ from Martial Arts. It’s not that I’m screwed for failing, but I’m angry and boiling inside for some reason.
“Whoops. It’s nice that you’re motivated☆! Would you like to try it?”
“Of course. ──「Transformation」.”
Formed after a long time, Beast Return ON.
-Wack!
I challenged juggling 5 balls while paying attention to power control. No, it’s embarrassing to even call it a challenge because I turned on Beast Return. ─Whoop whoop! Fucking bastards are doing well. Why don’t you do this when you’re with me?
“Are you the cause, my body?”
Are you saying that without Mana Nord, she’s just an idiot who only built up her muscles?
I turned off Beast Return because I had a chill. Immediately after that, the sensation in the limbs became dull and it became difficult to control the strength.
“… Yes?”
─Patter!
The ball slipped out of my grasp and spilled out. Lalilura laughed loudly from the side. She calmly said, as if she thought that she would be beaten again if she went on a date.
However, I focused on the difference in my senses rather than that.
The feeling of turning on the mana was a bit like being caught in the hand. How to properly throw and catch the ball.
While picking up the dropped ball, I considered the reason.
‘Ah. Beast return is different from normal mana enhancement.’
Beast return magic, which can be turned ON/OFF with a shadowless window, is quicker to activate and cancel compared to my clumsy mana control.
So, unlike other people, I could feel the sensation of using mana and turning it off more quickly and accurately.
‘This… Is it possible?’
Perhaps the reason this is a bad expedient is because the presence or absence of mana creates confusion in the senses.
But am I not? If you want to get confused, you can immediately turn on Beast Regression with Shadowless Spear to revive your senses.
“Ki yo yo yo yo yo yo!”
I re-challenged juggling with the stance of Cheonjimato.
1st, 2nd, 3rd… The more times you repeat, the better your skills!! At the speed of that evolution, Lalila, who was watching my juggling, her face gradually hardened.
“──That’s slow. Even falling.”
Papa-papa-!
Has it been 10 minutes since you started practicing? My body gradually acquired sensitive and precise movements without using mana.
It was the same speed of learning that sports players can achieve by repeating thousands and tens of thousands of times to obtain the ‘straight posture’ in cheat mode!
Ah——I forgot.
My talent is not the power to handle mana or body skills.
──That this was the potential of beast return.
“I roughly knew. Your level.”
Papapat!
I stood tall on one leg. 5 zerglings are already boring to the point of wanting to die.
“Lalilura. Five more.”
“Uh, yes? What? Are you using mana right now?”
“HELL NO.”
Mana was no longer a luxury. I raised my voice solemnly and said.
“Throw it, Lalilura. Accept your fate.”
“Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about… Are you really going to throw it?”
“No, that, throw it in moderation. Moderately.”
I was a bit scared and corrected it right away. If it flew fast, I didn’t have the confidence to catch them all.
─Whoop whoop!
I caught the flying balls well and continued juggling.
10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds… Even more than that, not a single ball fell.
It was a successful juggling of 10 pieces.
“It’s insignificant.”
I have already reached full maturity. Lower your arms and catch all the rubber balls.
“But I like it.”
─Shasha shak!
I put down the rubber ball that filled both arms.
Lalilura, her mouth wide open, immediately opened her mouth and said.
“Excuse me. Aren’t you really interested in the circus?”
“Heh. I’m sorry, but I have a dream I want to do separately.”
“Ha. That’s too bad.”
Larry Lura stretched her shoulders, but her eyes lit up in amusement.
“Like. Then I’ll go next? Can you follow me☆?”
Woomun. I smiled and spread my arms.
“Wabarat!”
***
─Teeng! Taeeng!
It was time for me to repeat the high-difficulty juggling practice with Lalilura.
I was attempting the third step, “Juggling with sticks,” When suddenly a bell rang from the clock tower.
What else? Curious, I looked up and saw that the clock on the clock tower indicated 12 o’clock. Do you mean to eat?
“Ah, it’s lunch time☆!”
─ Jump jump!
Lalilura, who had been coaching me in my juggling, went to where her francs were, jumping like her children. I also followed her with a rod around her side.
“What are Fran and Mr. Nord going to eat?”
“Ugh. Well? Nor, what are you doing? I’m not hungry yet.”
Fran, who was cleaning the ball, asked.
It’s lunch I didn’t feel very hungry because I didn’t do anything today other than dealing with stray cats.
“Let’s eat in moderation at a nearby shop. Lalilura? Do you mind if I come back later and continue learning?”
“Yes! From the afternoon, I’m busy with rehearsals and checking the show plan, so please come tomorrow morning! Oh, Erica? Erica has lunch too, so you have to go back, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Then take this!”
The well-behaved girl nodded her head, and Lalilura laughed and pulled out a small object wrapped in her paper.
“Braided! This is my gift to Erica☆!”
“Yeah… ?”
“Ah, don’t you just feel pressured? It’s just a great sandwich for lunch!”
Embarrassed by the surprise response, Lalilura put her sandwich into Erica’s hand.
“I want to see you off, but it’s easy for the circus troupe to look down on those who are old and curvy☆
“Ah…”
“Sneak this on your way and go! You shouldn’t be late while eating, and if you give too much, the director might say it’s suspicious and throw it away☆!”
As Erica opened her eyes wide at her lively tone, her Fran thought about it and asked.
“Hey, Erika? Shall we take you instead?”
“Ah. That’s right. It may look suspicious, but as long as it’s close, it won’t matter.”
I also agreed with Frank’s opinion. It was safe in broad daylight, but it was something you never knew.
And it was fate that we met like this. Let’s ask the cats to keep an eye on you so that nothing goes wrong. If you are an orphan, you will be an easy target for kidnappers.
Erica looked at our words and asked.
“Well then, Fran sister. Can I ask you to come closer?”
“Yes! And you don’t have to be so polite.”
The two talked comfortably. They seemed to have become close while juggling while I was giving Ralilura vector-true education.
I also said hello to Lalilura.
“Goodbye, Larilura. See you again.”
“Yes~☆!”
At the end, Tension Ozzy broke up with the circus girl and we moved to an orphanage.
“Yum…”
Erica ate a sandwich while walking. Seeing that she ate recklessly, it seemed that she was not eating well.
And when he finished eating, I asked.
“Erika. Did you sneak out of the orphanage director?”
─Awkwardly!
Erica trembled at my question. She smiled bitterly as if Franc was thinking the same thing.
“If you go back before lunchtime, does that mean you have to go in before the orphanage director comes back?”
“Oh, no. That’s it…”
“Don’t worry, I don’t intend to do this to the director.”
I soothed Erica with those words. To sneak out of the guardian and go out to play. I knew it well because it was a deviation often made by kids around that time.
It must be similar to going to the canteen over the fence during lunchtime.
But at least there were no kidnappers near the middle school canteen. As I waited for an answer, Erica said startled.
“Me too… I want to be a person who puts on great performances like her older sister, Rari Lura…”
“… What does Laliluru say?”
“Yet… I didn’t ask…”
“Whoa… Yes?”
I let out a deep sigh. Seeing him juggling well at such a young age, he might have talent, but living off of it and doing something with it was a completely different matter.
I don’t think fucking Alexandra would allow it.
“Okay. Don’t mess around and interfere. Don’t wander around at night though. Avoid alleyways even during the day.”
“Yeah.”
I wonder how meaningful it would be if I said this.
That’s how we saw Erica go back to the orphanage. She kept 3 cats attached and asked me to come to the inn where I was staying if anything happened.
“Nya-! (Yes—!)”
“Mooaaaaa! (Joah!)”
The three cats wandered around the orphanage when they heard that they would feed them full of fish.
Please let’s hope that those gangsters do a good job with CCTV.
