"Do you believe me, Cordelia?" Ace asked with a weird look in his eyes.

It was as if he was expecting me to tell him that I didn't believe him.

But...

"I believe you, Ace...You're not the type of person who would lie about these things..." I replied honestly.

He widened his eyes at my words.

Somehow...the thought of him not believing me irritated me.

"Does that mean...that you won't ever talk to Mattius again? All of us can protect you, Cordelia..." Ace blurted out.

"...Nope. I'm definitely talking to him again. Actually...I may or may not be planning to infiltrate the Marquis' estate tomorrow just so I can do the opposite of what you want me to," I replied nonchalantly.

I awkwardly chuckled.

Mattius is the son of the Marquis and he is now probably too scared to come back to my place again...so instead, I'm going to go to him.

I need to politely ask him a few...questions...

But instead of getting mad at me like I suspected him to, Ace just sighed at the confession of my plans.

"I already knew you would say that..." Ace murmured without a single hint of surprise.

"Of course...I'm extremely stubborn, you know?" I replied with a grin.

"...You know...I'm also pretty stubborn too..."

"Huh?"

"I'm not going to let you go."

"What? Why."

"You're not going."

"Yes, I am."

"No. You're going to stay here."

"No, I'm not!"

"..."

"Please, Ace. I promise I won't get hurt..."

"...only if I go too..."

"Huh?"

"..."

"You're going to go with me???"

Ace sighed in irritation just as if he considered me to be the dumbest person on the planet.

"...If you insist on going, I have no other choice. You would try to leave anyway even if I told you not to," Ace muttered.

"Ehehehe! You know me so well~ Let's go infiltrate the Marquis house tomorrow, okay?"

"...Call me when you need me," Ace said as he simply left my room without another word.

"B-Bye...I guess..." I said as Ace used his magic to close the door behind him.

I sighed and shuffled to a better position on my bed.

I actually had a one-on-one conversation with Ace!

This is an improvement...right?

Later That Night

.

.

"Deux~ I'm here again!" I shouted as I tapped my feet twice on the ground.

This time, for fun, I brought WAGYU FREAKING BEEF SANDWICHES.

It took me a LOT of research to find out how to create A5 Wagyu beef with my creation magic. But the moment I figured it out, I immediately researched on how to make sandwiches with them~

The best part is: the sandwiches are practically FREE. The only thing I have to pay is 100 MP to make them~

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Imagine how much money I could make if I made a restaurant and sold luxury foods...

I could be even richer.

Maybe...I should talk about this to the others...

The wind whistled softly as I waited for Deux to show up. After a while, I finally realized that Deux wasn't here.

Did he go somewhere?

I pinned the basket of sandwiches closer to my body and walked around the area of the forest for a bit.

Only after walking around for a bit did I notice the birds in the air over an area far away from me were falling to the ground.

Was Deux shooting birds to death for fun...?

I silently mouthed a sorry to all of the living things Deux killed with the gun I gave him.

"Forgive me, 'Lil birdies...I had no idea this man was a beast with a gun..." I muttered to myself.

Calmly, I walked over to the area where I saw birds fall and saw Deux sitting near the root of a tree and pointing his gun at the sky, waiting for the moment when another bird victim would come.

Then, I came up with a brilliant idea.

I quietly snuck around the entire area where Deux was and slowly crept up behind him.

"BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed as loud as I could into Deux's ears.

I expected him to become scared.

...But I was left disappointed.

"..." Deux replied.

"Did you get scared?" I asked with a little hope.

"No."

"Oh...okay..."

"..."

"Um...So how was YOUR day...?"

"Normal."

"Was it good or bad?"

"Normal."

"Okay then..."

"..."

"Do you want some sandwiches?" I asked as I lifted up the basket of heavenly food.

You could SMELL it.

It was wafting up my nostrils and was torturing my mind slowly until I felt like I was going to become clinically insane...in a good way.

Deux looked at my face for a good ten seconds or so before he nodded his head.

FINALLY.

Food.

I immediately grabbed a sandwich and handed it over to Deux.

"Here you go~" I smiled cheerily.

Deux stared at the sandwich.

I stared at Deux who was staring at the sandwich.

Then, he slowly took the sandwich and had a bite.

He chewed silently for a bit without a single word, but he responded by widening his eyes.

"...Does it taste good.........?" I asked with apprehension.

Deux immediately nodded his head once.

I looked at the sandwich before me and gulped down my saliva. I gingerly brought the sandwich close to my mouth and took a bite.

Delicious.

This sandwich was delicious.

The interlaced buttery fat between the already tender pieces of medium-rare meat melted in my mouth, gushing with flavourful juice, and created a heavenly taste that made me drool for more.

The slight crunch of the breading outside of the deep-fried steak with the soft and chewy bread added the best texture of food possible to mankind.

Plus, the barely sweet yet extremely savory sauce that I had created perfectly complimented the meat and made the taste about three times better.

Not only that, but the white bread that I used in the sandwich was able to cut through the slight oiliness of a deep-fried steak and made the entire meal seem much more well-rounded.

It was amazing. (A/N: you can tell I was hungry while writing)

"Oh. My. Gods," I murmured out loud.

Most of the time, I hate the stupid gods.

...But every once and a while, I can appreciate the fact that they gave me OP magic, like my creation magic~

Thanks to them, I can make this sandwich for almost free at any time I want.

"I CAN'T...STOP...MYSELF...FROM...EATING!!!" I shouted as I gobbled through the rest of the sandwiches until there was none left.

Deux had to stop me every once and a while to make sure I didn't choke to death.

After a while of us both silently enjoying the memories of our meal, I decided to tell Deux all about my day.

"Today sucked a LOT," I whined as I kicked the air.

"..."

"One of my old friends decided to pay me a visit today...by sneaking through my bedroom window while I was sleeping!"

"..."

"Do you want to guess who it was?"

"..."

"...It was a boy from the Marquis family. I swear that the kid is mentally insane."

"..."

"If he wanted to visit me, did he HAVE to sneak through my window??? ...Actually...if he came through the front door...he probably would've died..."

"..."

"And because of all that, I get to go pretend I'm a spy and trespass into the Marquis' home!" I exclaimed enthusiastically as I sarcastically smiled.

"..."

"...Are you going to say anything?"

"..."

"...Anyway...I won't be able to come here and bring food tomorrow, so that's why I made a special meal for the two of us to eat today~ Did you think it tasted good?" I asked with a smile.

I chuckled a little.

Of COURSE, it tasted good.

I didn't even need to ask.

"What did you say?" Deux finally spoke after a huge moment of silence.

"Uh...I was asking whether you thought the sandwiches tasted good or not..." I repeated.

"No...before that."

"Um...I was telling you the reason why I brought those delicious sandwiches to you..."

"Before that."

"Err...I don't remember...?"

"Marquis."

"Ohhhhh...Yeah, I'm planning on breaking and entering their house tomorrow~"

"Which one."

"Huh?"

"Which Marquis."

"Oh. I'm planning on breaking into Marquis Scott's house."

"..."

"Anyway, I'm going to head home a little early today since tomorrow is probably going to be a busy day for me," I said as I stood up from the ground.

I patted down my dress and stretched my tired legs. While I was stretching, Deux spoke.

"Yes. Noon. Two days," Deux said clearly and slowly for me to hear.

"...What?" I asked with complete confusion.

Did Deux become mentally insane after spending the past few years with me? To be honest, it wouldn't be the first time this happened...

"..." Deux remained silent.

"Can you explain to me what you just said?" I asked again.

"..." Deux was beginning to walk away.

"Okay..."

"..." Deux completely left.

"Bye-bye...I guess," I said as I left too.

.

1 Hour Later

.

.

Storage.

Within a piece of my cognitive power, which the gods gave me as a present, I had received a storage place in my head.

But the problem was...it was a mess.

A huge freaking pile of a trashy mess.

My storage space was basically a GIGANTIC room where I could put anything I wanted into it. To get things out, I would just need to walk into my storage, grab the item, and then leave.

However...I may or may not have been slightly experimenting with my creation magic to create an infinite amount of things I wanted over the past few years.

I guess the things I created just piled up in my storage and, now, the trash was like a mountain.

For example, some of the useless things in my messy storage were: a plane, four tanks, a strand of hair from a blonde and all-mighty hero in an anime, an army of rubber ducks, Excalibur, purple heart stickers, a hot tub with two mannequins sitting five feet apart, candy, twenty-million trees, a superhero bobblehead of Bald Cape, a katana, a death note, a wand from Diagon Alley, unicorn hair, phoenix tears, and potatoes.

But somewhere in this huge mess was a very important object.

It was an anti-magic amulet.

A long time ago, I beat up some psychopaths and watched Deux pocket both of their anti-magic amulets at the royal festival.

After a bit of time, Deux gave me one of their amulets, which I gladly accepted...because these amulets were EXPENSIVE and they were difficult to figure out how to make with my creation magic.

But since I had no use for the amulet, I threw it somewhere in my storage...

I sighed to myself.

Welp.

I guess I'll have to pull an all-nighter just to find this stupid amulet.

Wish me luck.

------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: For those of you who are in the same position as me, EXAMS ARE IN THREE DAYS.

At this point, I just want to pull out all of my hair and become bald. If I do, maybe teachers would become distracted by my new hairstyle and won't focus on grading too much.

On a better note, I'm on vacation after next week~

I finally get to go on a trip overseas!!! I'm pretty excited since it has been a few years since I've gone on a trip~

But this also means that the next time I update, I will be on the opposite side of the world from where I am now...which also means...time zones change!

*Gasp*

I currently have no idea what time I will be updating once I get there, so if I update at a horribly different time than normal, I'm going to say sorry in advance.

I'll definitely figure out the specifics within the next week or so though!

As always, I'd like to thank my readers/voters/commenters! Thank you!

Okie byeee!
