Chapter 344 - Fantasies are Not Reality (4)

"Do you still remember me?" Eliza dumbly ran up to the screen.

Her sister sighed from the back. It appeared she had given up on trying to keep Eliza down as everything was almost exposed. I did know that both of them had to be from the first district since they could use more than basic mana spells. However, it was odd that she didn't consider that the Roselia family wouldn't let them off for this.

"We'll be able to meet again soon, right? I almost spent all my allowance on trying to get these uniforms and get information on how to meet you!" She didn't hesitate to reveal how she followed him here.

"She followed you here," I summarized what she said when Luke was still silent.

I placed all the blame on him for not rejecting her better. Luke couldn't hide his repulsion against her as he frowned. It was like he was stunned that someone forgone all the common etiquette, even committing a crime in the process. I pushed Eliza closer to the screen, showing that I had nothing to do with this.

"You do know you have broken the law," he warned her to leave before he placed any charges.

"Laws don't matter in love," she continued to admire his otherworldly appearance.

Luke began to enter his hover call while the call continued. I froze as I didn't clean up all my comic books near the balcony. It wouldn't be long until he arrived. I couldn't just run into the mansion to place all my things inside my inventory or he would notice something was wrong. Out of all the days, why did she have to trespass today?

"Don't end the call Rika," he watched us inside his hover car.

"Is the gate closed?" Luke asked me to check.

"I don't know," I ran towards the gate.

I stopped, seeing the gates was wide open for anyone to enter. I couldn't believe they didn't close the gates afterwards. The barrier was basically useless if the enchanted gates were open. It only protected the area around the mansion. It couldn't be that they didn't close the gates as it would cut off their escape route.

"Eliza!" Someone entered the mansion grounds.

"You can't just trespass here. What are you going to do if the Roselia family figures out?" He tried to drag her out.

"And this is?" I asked the girl.

"Our cousin," she sighed.

"They already know! He's already seeing me through the screen," Eliza pointed where I stood.

His jaw almost dropped as he immediately recognized us as part of the Roselia family. Instead of trying to persuade Eliza to leave, he switched his target to me. He grabbed my wrist, "I'm sorry but I think you have to come with us. We need you so nothing happens to Eliza. Elise, help me get your sister out of here."

Elise, getting his hint, grabbed her sister and started to drag her out of the gates with as much force as possible. Their cousin closed the gates after we were all out of the mansion grounds. I pretended I couldn't break his grasp when it was easily loose enough for me to get out with not much effort. Meanwhile, Eliza followed my screen that moved with me.

I could go somewhere else, maybe join one of my friends on their vacation. I knew they just wanted me to stay with them for a bit to pretend I was their hostage. Luke manually pressed the accelerator, seeing me enter another hover car as their cousin lightly pushed me inside. Before the hover car lifted in the air, he pressed the button on the screen to end the call.

"Where are we going?" I excitedly turned to them.

"Our house," Elise shot an apologetic glance.

"I'm sorry that you have to come with us," her cousin added.

"No, I'm fine. I just hope you won't get caught. I'll put the location tracker on my marble off," I volunteered.

"She's weird," Eliza grumbled.

I happily hummed while putting the tracker off. I would put all the blame on them if I ended up returning to the mansion. I would tell him that I tried to resist going with them as I pretended to struggle against their cousin. There was nothing Luke could do if I didn't leave the mansion willingly. Even the tracker would be all their fault since they didn't want to get caught.

The hover car started to drift down to the ground at a middle-class area. It was a similar place to where my hideout was located with the tall apartment buildings. The clouds swirled around the building, making it appear magical with some rainbows in between them. I looked forward to living how the normal family lived in the first district for some time.

"What floor?" My eyes glittered.

"The fortieth floor," Elise answered while the hover car was just above their balcony.

I lightly stepped on the solid floor after their cousin offered me a hand. I gasped as I studied the interior of their house. This was what I expected from the first district. The walls had a setting that it could be solid or transparent with a switch. Robots filled their house to either clean or to make their meals. A large virtual TV screen was also present with some game consoles. There was actual decent entertainment here!
