《The Prodigy and the Genius》Chapter 40
Advertisement
I know this is an impossible wish but... I wish a meteor fall in this place. Then again we all die.
This party is just crazy. I felt like I attended a ball. Now that I think about it I never had a coming of age ball...
Luckily, I was ignored by most and was able to sleep...
But as I said, this place is like a fashion show, I really felt like a commoner with this. But if I wear by myself, I'm gonna wear worst than this.
I know this felt disgusting but... I'm glad nee-sama chose my clothes and style.
But I will not eat here. Never. Even if my stomach growls or even starve to death. Their food taste like water. As if I can eat that. I wonder how nobles found this taste delicious...
I try to scan the room to search for Luke. He has my food. He knows I never like to eat any other food than the one I like.
When I finally found him, he was talking with the prince and Theresa. I just noticed it but it seems that the prince has eyes on Theresa.
Prince, you're my sister's fiance why would you go look for other woman?
I forgot... he's one of the capture target... of course he'll get attracted to the heroine.
If she chose Luke's route, she and them are known as best friends and are known to have a love triangle. To think love triangle exist in real life, this is fun to watch...
Ah.. the prince got called by the prime minister. Looks like they got something to discuss.
But it both leaves them alone. I can clearly see that it looks like a teenager's love life that you would found in the novel where the heroine appears to be stupid?
But that doesn't change the fact that I'm hungry. It doesn't matter if I disturb their lovey-dovey setting, right? My hunger is more important than that.
As I tried to approach them, I was stopped by some person. I then suddenly felt my view is being further away from the party and outside the garden.

So it's the garden again... It's bullying time, I see...
"You really want a attention from Luke-sama that badly, Lady Miki! Too bad! We're gonna stop you!"
But since you're bullying me at a bad time.. I'm gonna give you a reward for bullying me at a bad time...
There's only three persons? Moreover, higher status than mine? Good. It's enough to scare you. It's not like anyone would believe that I, known as a weak girl, bullied you even I was well known for being bullied by many people...
I guess I should use magic to make the air cold...
"What is this?! Why does the air feels--! W--WAHHH! A MONSTER!" the girl in the middle shouts and points something behind my back.
What? I retracted my magic and suddenly look behind me. There I saw a wolf like monster.
I suddenly saw them running away, leaving me behind. When I knew that they can no longer be found, I knew that I was already transported into some place. Even though it is the exact look of the place where I was.
Luke cannot save me as he is too busy inside. His clones cannot too as they are busy gathering information. Ian cannot as he is busy doing my request. Making that leaves with me to myself.
"This is really a pain thing to do. Kill it, FR-21"
The monster suddenly has it's head and arms cut off and falls down.
FR-21 is a robot with command system. This thing just did is it release lasers at 0.42 seconds to cut it's head and arms off. I created too many machines in my free time this pass years but then again they turn out to be quite useful.
FR-21 disguises itself in my ponytail to avoid suspicion.
"Emotionless as always. But I do guess you know that this monster was once a human, Miss Miki Linux?"
"What are you trying to do, Joseph Horatio Acryl?"
Joseph Horatio Acryl, the current duke of Northern region and the killer of Luke's family.

So yeah, my enemy is trying to kill me now.
"You're answering me with a question, Miss Miki Linux. But I'll answer of why did I came here to kill you. Let's see... You are needed to be killed in order to draw out the savior"
'The savior is needed to identify the traitor'
Such irony is this.
I knew that this murderer is a Haldane but to think he is this desperate.... How great is the world is...
I thought the relatives of Ian is more rational, but then again I'm wrong. I'm not that great at reading someone's emotion.
"Even though I knew who the traitor is?" I said as I pierced a glare at him.
I knew that the Haldane family is trying to kill me. I am needed to draw the savior after all. But in order to save me, Ian wanted me to join this problem.
He'll do anything just to make sure I'm alive. Even if it means to make me get into this mess. After all, I am supposed to die a year ago.
"So you got in to this mess. But I won't believe you that you knew the traitor. But you must have clues, right?"
I knew who is the traitor. By knowing that, no one cannot kill me. Even if it means clues, it still meant a big help.
"I won't tell you, but I gonna tell it to Ian" I said as I did not deny or accept his statement.
"But that doesn't change the fact you must die. Rose, Keith. Kill her"
Two person suddenly moved towards me. I can clearly see that they have no will. They are like a doll. They move as their master's will.
Then that makes this easier to fight.
*CLANG*
In front of me, both of them were stopped in mid air. They cannot even reach my neck which is 13.82 cm away. FR-21 has this barrier system that's why once it senses danger, it will activate for an hour.
Half a second.
A half a second is enough to kill them both.
Suddenly, their necks were cut deeply. While my hand was holding a knife with blood on it.
I may not good physically but my right hand is good at cutting people's neck. My right hand is always good at handling tools, and the faster the more you can relax... Well, as long as it is in rage, I can.
"I'm so disappointed. To think they fall for that. I never thought that they're slower than me even though they are used to assassination"
This is clearly an insult. I, who was never good at using my physical activities, killed them.
"So you're not just dependent on them?"
Them. Them means my family, Luke, and Ian. Well, if an outsider looks at our relationship, I am clearly dependent on them.
"First, I never depend to my family. I don't really care on those who bullies me. Second, everything they(Luke and Ian) did for me, I have to give something they interest in mind. Third, if I were to depend on someone, our relationship is a give and take. Fourth, why do they depend on me when they clearly can depend on someone else? If it's me, I can also assign the things I interested on someone, but why do they pick me? So tell me, who is clearly dependent on someone?" I said as my voice goes hoarse as I speak.
I really hate speaking a lot. I can feel my stomach is growling...
"I get it, so we're also going to have this 'give and take' relationship?"
He get it so fast. I have to talk a lot in order to convince him to take a 'give and take' relationship. Looks like it works...
"Easy. [ Miki Linux ] will die while [ I ] will still stay alive. Easy trade" my empty voice echoes through this space.
