Chapter 638: Exchanging Information
“Ms. President, it’s me. I brought the circus representative,” the guide said after she knocked on the door to the office where the president is working.
This room is where the listening device is. And I had the Blobby there hid it behind a bookshelf. I can see it with my Divine Vision.
And there’s also someone else there. Someone in hiding behind the wall. She must be the one that the president was talking to. Though we need to pretend that we don’t know her existence.
Well, even without Divine Vision, both Shirley and I are expert level mages. We can detect someone’s presence as long as they are within our range. They should have known that I’m an expert level mage. So they know that I can detect the presence of the one hiding.
The guide opened the door to let us enter. The two of us then entered the office room, and the guide just stand in front of the door.
“Umm... nice to meet you. I’m sorry that it’s the first time I heard of a president, so I don’t know what to do. Should I kneel down?” I tried to ask the president politely.
Usually, when meeting a king, one should kneel down first until the king told us that it’s fine to stand up. Though I rarely do that. I’m friends with the kings after all.
.....
But now, I don’t know what to do. Should I kneel? But we’re in her office. Not in attendance hall or somewhere else. But her office. A place that no stranger should enter. And we’re here easily.
“You don’t need to mind your manner. Before I became the president, I was just a normal civilian,” the president said.
“But you need to at least mind your manner.”
The one who said that was the woman in hiding. And since she leaked her presence on purpose, I guess we don’t need to act like she’s not there.
“Why are you speaking?” the president asked the woman in hiding.
“Those two are expert level mages. They already know where I’m hiding. Though I will still hide myself in case they are trying to do something,” the woman in hiding said.
Their voices are exactly the same as the two that I heard with the listening device. They are related to the cult. Especially the woman in hiding.
As for the president, I don’t know whether she has joined the cult or not. But at least I know that she’s working together with the cult.
Since it’s the president herself who is related to the cult, it will be difficult if I just kill her. Especially since she’s someone that many people here trusted to be their leader. The dissatisfaction that we killed their president might end up with them waging a war against us.
If the one in charge here is a king, and that king is disliked by many people, I won’t have any problem to kill them right away. But killing someone popular among the commoners will only give us many trouble in the future. That’s why I need to hold myself back from killing them.
“Okay, I’ll try to be polite then. May I ask why you invited me here?” I asked the president.
I already heard her name from Patricia. But I’ll just call her President or Ms. President to be polite.
“I want to ask you more about the outside world. This country, until a few years ago, has been closed off from the outside world. So we know very little about what’s going on outside. Even Emilia doesn’t know what a circus is. That’s why I want to ask you more about it. Including about the war against the Evil Cult,” the president said.
“Okay. I kind of expected that to happen when Patricia and Emilia said that they didn’t know about the cult. So, I brought Shirley here. She’s a high-ranked hunter and has been to many places so she has more information than me who focused more on the circus,” I introduced Shirley to the President.
Although I didn’t lie, her information was because she’s a member of royalty. Good thing I had her with me. She can get to know the political structure of this country.
Shirley then introduced herself as a daughter of a nobility from Tatrama who became a hunter. And that’s why she knows more than me. I was just there to tell the President about my journey.
“You’re also a finalist of that tournament I heard before? Does that mean you’re strong?” the President asked Shirley.
“Well, I’m still improving. Though there are still some people who are stronger than me,” Shirley said.
We’re currently talking about the tournament between the four countries. President Yuria wasn’t surprised to hear that there are some expert level mages. As expected, the average level here is higher than the outside world. I’d like to know how they can gain their level. But for now, we need to get the conversation going to where we wanted.
“So, the tournament was actually a bait to attack the cult. Although the strongest mages are fighting the tournament, the four kingdom’s army cooperated together and defeated a lot of expert level mages and the powerful monsters they brought. That’s why the cult should be at their weakest after the kingdoms killed all the artificial master level mages. So, Thomas and I decided to do a tour because we expect the cult won’t make any big move at the moment,” I said.

When I said that many cult members died, President Yuria didn’t react at all. But the woman in hiding clenched her fists. I guess this President is just cooperating with the cult. But she’s not a member of the cult.
I’ll ask Albert later on how to deal with her. Should we kill her later, or let her live and continue leading this country. Or even let this country be taken over by Tatrama. That’s up to Albert’s decision.
Albert must have wanted to hear what we’re talking as well. But the listening device can’t reach that far to his palace. As for broadcasting it through the TV in his place, the camera is too suspicious to bring.
We keep exchanging information. About the outside world, and about this country. And whenever we told them about the news of the cult’s plan that the kingdoms managed to stop, President Yuria didn’t react much. But the woman in hiding was extremely angry.
For now, I’m going to assume that the President is not a member of the cult. She only used the cult for her purpose. Which I think should be about her changing this country. To make this country open to the outside world.
She asked the cult’s cooperation to make her the president. But she doesn’t care at all about the cult.
I think she will start to think that it’s a bad idea for her to continue her relationship with the cult after I told her about so many bad things that the cult did. She must be trying to cut off her relationship with the cult.
I need to get more information before I can confirm it. I might need a way to communicate with her secretly. But I guess this is it for now. We will stay here for a few days. And the listening device and the Blobby will stay in the office. I can continue eavesdropping on her, or even use portal to kidnap her if I have the chance.
“Oh, it started to get dark. I think this is it for today. I’m still interested about the outside world. So, if you don’t mind, I’d like you to come again at the same time tomorrow. Is that okay with you?” the President invited us to come again tomorrow.
“Of course I’d like to. And after our chat tomorrow, you can come to watch the circus as well. Today, we’re just preparing for everything. And tomorrow night will be when we start our show. Some of the circus members should have advertised the circus to everyone. I’d like to get permission to let the gate open until the show is over. Is that okay?” I asked.
“Sure. The gate is never closed anyway. Though at night, the security will be increased. But the people have gotten used to it so it’s fine,” President Yuria said.
“Then, for our first meeting, I’ll give you something.”
I grabbed a deck of card from my pocket to perform a trick. It’s a simple sleight of hand trick where I guessed correctly the card that President Yuria picked.
She picked King of Spade from the deck. And I guessed it correctly even when I didn’t use my Divine Vision.
“This is just a small performance from me. I’ll give that card to you as a gift for our first meeting. If you want to see something much more impressive, please come to our show tomorrow night. Then, I’ll take my leave.”
Shirley and I left the office guided by the same woman who guided us. While the President is still awed by my performance.
And she doesn’t know that the black decoration behind the card is a Blobby. All the cards in my pocket have the same Blobby decoration.
If she brings that card everywhere, I can use portal to get her wherever she is. Though I can’t eavesdrop on her since there’s only one listening device. And that’s the one I hid in the bookshelf. But at least it will be easier for me to get to her.
