My Bothersome Life 86 Going Back To The First District 1

I opened the door of my room to find both Sh.e.l.ly and Ben watching the news. "Aren't you supposed to be at the restaurant at this time for lunch?" I asked.

"We were waiting for you to wake up," Sh.e.l.ly replied.

"Who knows what would happen if we went to go eat breakfast and lunch without you," Ben added as he continued watching the news.

"Then let's go eat now," I opened the door as I felt really hungry from yesterday's incident.

"Wait. Go change first," Ben suddenly grabbed my wrist to stop me from going out.

I looked down to find myself in a white nightgown that I changed into after taking off the oversized clothes from my former kidnappers.

Learning from the incident that happened just yesterday, I changed into a fine pastel blue dress laced with embroidery.

"How do I look?" I asked while twirling to show off the dress.

Ben nodded in approval as I snagged Sh.e.l.ly's hand to walk together to the restaurant.

"I paid a week's worth of money to stay in the hotel room we're currently staying in. The teleportation gate has enough energy to teleport two people back to my villa in the evening." Ben said as he sliced a piece of his steak.

"So Sh.e.l.ly and I can use the teleportation gate first?" I asked.

"I know this must be a very shameful request, but can Rika and I use the teleportation first?" Ben grimly asked Sh.e.l.ly.

"No," I shouted to Ben before Sh.e.l.ly could open her mouth.

"I'm not going anywhere without Sh.e.l.ly!"

I stopped eating my steak as I hugged Sh.e.l.ly to show that I wasn't going to leave Sh.e.l.ly here in the second district alone. The second district wasn't exactly a safe place as young high schoolers could easily kidnap middle school students in the daylight.

"You disappear from my sight every time I look at other way from what I've experienced in the second district with you. That's why I have no choice but to-"

"Oh please. Don't make rash a.s.sumptions when it's only our third day in the second district." I interrupted Ben.

"If we really do have to go to first district, I know a way to get there without using a teleportation gate."

Ben and Sh.e.l.ly both dropped their utensils and stared at me dumbfounded that I knew a way to go to the first district.

"Remember how we entered the second district from the first district?" I asked Sh.e.l.ly.

"The staff only room!" Sh.e.l.ly recalled after going through her memories.

"Yup! I think we can go to that cafe where we first met Ben since it's near that area."

Ben sighed as he got up to pay the bill and gave the waiter a generous tip.

"Fine. But if that doesn't work, we're using the teleportation gate later today," Ben leaved no room for discussion.

I nodded confidently as I knew we would be in the first district soon.

"Grab onto my hand Rika," Ben offered his hand as if a small child would get lost without him.

I hesitantly took his hand as I couldn't argue that we got separated pretty easily in the second district while clutching onto Sh.e.l.ly with my other free hand.

When we were in front of the cafe, I noticed a faint translucent barrier like wall buzzing in and out of existence.

When I narrowed my eyes to try to see what was clearly behind the barrier, I spotted a tall cliff behind the blue skysc.r.a.per that was clearly in front of the barrier.

"There!" I pointed in the direction of the cliff.

"I don't see anything other than a tall building," Sh.e.l.ly grumbled.

Ben seemed to notice the cliff as his eyes widened from amazement.

When we walked behind the blue skysc.r.a.per, we immediately found ourselves on a soft field of gra.s.s rather than the hard cement covering the grounds of the second district.

"I see it now," Sh.e.l.ly whispered while she admired the numerous white and yellow dandelions blooming all around us.

"Race you!" I shouted to Sh.e.l.ly while running up the cliff.

"We're not in kindergarten anymore," Sh.e.l.ly complained as she refused to race with me while she walked to follow me.

We soon looked down to face a large bank vault on the ground when we were finally on the top of the cliff. "I think this is the entrance," I tried to open the vault while typing random numbers into the padlock.

"I don't think that'll work as there's over a million combinations with those sets of characters on the lock," Ben brought me back to reality.

"How about teleportation magic? I don't think it'll take up that much mana when we're just teleporting to the other side of the vault." I suggested.

When I blinked, I found the three of us at the other side. 'Ben must have teleported us to the other side,' I thought.

Unfortunately, when I looked up, I found an infinite amount of stairs endlessly spirling up into the darkness.

Right. Last time, we were too lazy to walk down all those sets of stairs and chose to jump down instead.

'How were we ever going to reach the top at this rate?' I thought while sighing.
