The Author's POV

Chapter 397

"Junior? What are you talking about Monica?"

'Oh god.'

At Monica's arrival, the effects of Monarch's indifference wore off.

My goal was to prevent Donna from using her skill to make me talk. With Monica here, the chances of that happening were almost null to zero and thus, Monarch's indifference wore off.

"Um, Um."

Walking around me, a look of mischief appeared on Monica's face.

'What is she planning?'

Wariness flashed across my eyes.

With her hands behind her back, Monica twirled around and whistled.

"Hewww...hewww..."

Well, at least tried to. Wasted effort on her part as it just sounded like she was blowing air. She quickly gave up after a couple of tries.

She then arrived next to Donna and reassured her.

"Anyways, as I was saying. You don't have to worry about these two."

"...If you say so."

Donna nodded her head with a confused look on her face. It was clear that she was still taken aback by the news. But since Monica was the one telling her the news, she merely went along with it.

"So...is everything sorted?"

Turning her head, Donna looked at John who was slowly standing up.

Although he was injured, it wasn't that bad. Brushing her hair by the side of her ear, she sighed.

"Since he's fine, I guess everything is alright."

"Alright."

I proceeded to walk up to John. The moment I did, Donna's voice rang from behind.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm just getting my stuff back."

Bending over, I picked up the two magic cards that I used. They were still intact, but compared to the first time I used them, they shined less.

"...What are those?"

"Wow!"

Observing the cards, Monica's voice suddenly rang in front of me, startling me. Leaning forward, she curiously looked at the card in my hand.

"Is this what you used to beat him?"

She extended her hand, trying to touch the card. Moving my hand away, I glared at her.

"Hands off."

"What?"

"This is off-limit. You'll know more about it later."

"Tsk."

Monica clicked her tongue and crossed her arms. Fortunately, Monica was reasonable enough to stop. After all, there was still a crowd of people around us.

"Stingy."

She muttered under her breath. Rolling my eyes, I nudged my head in Hein's direction.

"Hein, let's go."

Lifting his head, Hein put his handkerchief away. Leaning sideways to make sure there were no smudges on his shield, only once he was sure it was shining did he finally stand up and nod his head.

"...Alright."

'I've got to have a talk with Malvil about this...It's getting out of hand.'

"If you would excuse me."

Nodding my head in Donna's and Monica's direction, I headed back upstairs under everyone's watch. As I walked up, I could feel Donna's eyes burn holes at the back of my head, but I promptly ignore it.

'She'll probably figure it out soon.'

Not like I was trying to hide it. The only reason why I was still wearing a mask was because quite a few people knew of my face, and the matter regarding 876 wasn't resolved yet.

Of course, I had plans regarding that matter.

Walking up the stairs, it wasn't long before I stopped in front of Melissa's residence. Stopping in front of her, I proceeded to hand the cards back to her.
