My plan wasn't really that complex. It was simply to follow the map and go on the rides that were closer, occasionally stopping by the stalls or carnival games if Sabrina wanted to play, or for food.
Thinking about food, I am getting more hungry nowadays, my appet.i.te is getting larger.
Anyway, I held a large teddy bear as I walked through the streets. As if our heights weren't enough of an attention magnet, all the prizes and rewards I was carrying added fuel to the fire.
People were already looking at us and it's really annoying, Likeā¦
'Mind your own business?'
I was a bit p.i.s.sed too, I thought that perhaps I would have to win the prizes in carnival gamesā¦ Little did I know I was useless, Sabrina did them all of them alone whether it was either catching something or shooting somethingā¦ Well, As long as she had fun, I didn't really mind.
"Meow."
Ah right, there's also one more attention magnet on my shoulder. As soon as I heard the subtle meow ringing right in my ear. Sabrina also turned her head to look at me, and I showed a proud smile. She sighed.
Ha! Although the little spirit on my shoulder, which is Sabrina's is an attention magnet, It's kind of like a saving grace for me. She summoned the spirit because she wanted to cuddle or hold it whilst being hereā¦
But little did she know, as soon as she did, It jumped over to my shoulder and refused to leave! It garnered me a strange look from Sabrina, one of annoyance and jealousy, And I enjoyed it.
'Perks of being a dragon!'
I thought sheepishly, as I continued forth. The voices of the people ringing in my ear. Ever since I awakened aura, all of my senses have gotten enhanced, and if I don't actively use mana to suppress them at timesā¦it results in this.
"d.a.m.n! Look how tall both they are."
"Is that a catā¦? Why does it have a horn?"
"Mommy! Monster!"
"Why are they wearing masks?"
They all talked in hushed tones, but that was not where the issue lay. I was worried Sabrina would be disturbedā¦and more so for myself.
If I don't use mana to suppress my hearing, their voices come at me in waves, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth and a ringing in my ears. Like I can hear them from every direction. Nowā¦I could keep using mana to suppress them, but the problem was people would notice it.
The humans, as poor as their understanding of mana is, are not blind. They can see my mana move to cover my ears, despite my efforts to conceal it.
And thatā¦resulted in this.
"Is he a rogue awakened?"
"s.h.i.t, he won't do anything here, would he?"
Despite Askolt being a city where the majority of the population was awakened, There were rules and regulations. Awakened weren't supposed to use mana in any form in the city, if an emergency did not arise, of course. Awakened still used it away from the public, and the city didn't have any means to enforce it strictly in such a circ.u.mstanceā¦ But the problem is I'm in the public.
Awakened don't come to theme parks, only the normal humans do.
"Haaā¦"
Honestly, I just hope Sir Oliver doesn't find out about this. We may have sneaked out of Shield, but I know that wouldn't get us a severe punishmentā¦ But this definitely can.
'I wonder if they would all shut up if I killed a few of them.'
An absurd thought came to my mind, which I hurriedly chased away.
"Are you okay?"
Sabrina's voice rang in my ears, accompanied by the occasional meowing.
She approached me and held my hand.
"Just ignore them."
'That is, quite literally, what I have been trying to do for the past few minutes, but thank you.'
I thought with a hint of sarcasmā¦butā¦
I didn't have the b.a.l.l.s to say that.
"Just use these."
She handed me a pair of earbuds, which I put in my ears. This would make it so I don't have to use mana, which would save me.
"You brought these?"
I asked her, It was quite odd to bring a pack of sound-
cancelling earbuds. They were so good I had a hard time hearing my own voice.
She said through the spatial bond, as she looked at me in the eyes. I reciprocated, but of course with a hint of confusion. It happened as we got on the roller coaster. fr???e??ovel.c?m
Although I could not hear the voices of the humans anymore, I could still feel the 'gaze' of a couple behind us, looking at us with scorn because of their view being blocked.
Yet, that was not on my mind. I simply looked at Sabrina with the 'standard' puppy dog look. Even though a cat was on my shoulder. She stared at me with a smirk, as if she thought it was cute or something.
ā¦ I was touched, she actually noticed and took appropriate measures for it.
The roller coaster began to move at a high speed, but it wasn't really high speed for the two of us.
She said, as she had an apathetic look on her face, clearly bored by it. It seems she liked the carnival games much more than this.
I retorted. Of course, I took her in the traditional princess carry and took flight if the situation called for it, But 'even' if she did fallā¦did she seriously think I wouldn't dive to catch her.
Hold on, firstly. She wouldn't fall! My grip isn't that weak! I would even crash just so I could make sure she was safe.
She laughed and said.
Something's wrong, I feel as if she's dragging this conversation somewhereā¦ Now where she is dragging this, I don't know.
And I don't want to knowā¦but at the same time I want to.
'Where are you leading this?'
I thought, as the ride was over, and we dismounted, leaving only the house of horrors or something. Was that what it was called?
House of horrors, I laughed at itā¦ I'm pretty sure both of us have seen much worse than anything in there.
"Haha."
Oh, so that's where you were going with this conversation.
