Chapter 713: Joker
“Wait wait, just listen to me for a second-”
“Booooo” Jayden along with all others began booing, while passing different comments like:
‘Hecate is a party pooper.’
‘The witch of lies must have had a tough childhood, if even this seems like fun to her.’
While speaking, none of them gave her any time to speak.
“Okay enough, can you just stay quiet for a moment and listen to me? Just follow me, this is the place away from everyone else and something that I have created I’m sure you would love it once you see-”
While Hecate was trying to explain she was again interrupted, and it was only Xerome this time:
“Haha even the place of her dreams is so dark just like her futur…”
But noticing that no one was speaking or booing along with him he shut his mouth feeling Hecate’s angry gaze on himself.
“S-Sorry, I am an idiot please continue.” Xerome immediately apologized before Hecate could get angry.
“Sigh, just follow me I wanted to show it you all as a surprise but all of you are so rude.” Hecate huffed and then began to walk away as they all followed her in silence.
“Xerome, you shouldn’t have said that.” Jayden spoke.
“Yes Xerome, don’t be so mean when she was doing all this just for us.” Jia said.
“Xerome, why are you so stupid?” Alice spoke while shaking her head.
“Xerome is bad.” Emma spoke, she was in Jayden’s arms.
“Xerome, you should properly apologize to her, she must have felt very bad.” Sasha spoke, one by one all of the other put all the blame on him, and he was left standing behind all of them wondering why it is always him who gets the short end of the stick, but the thing that angered him was when even Viser blamed him.
“I am ashamed to call you a friend, how can you say such words to our master’s wife tsk tsk.” Viser said shaking his head.
“…”
Xerome’s lips twitched and with his head hanging low he silently began to follow others. After walking for a few seconds, it was as if they were walking through a curtain, all of a sudden a bright light hit their faces, and the place was filled with different sounds.
“Wow” After Emma’s eyes adjusted to the light, she looked around and was amazed to see everything around everything was glowing there was a big waterfall and several creatures with glowing bodies were glowing around.
The whole place looked as if it has come out of someone’s imagination, there were even a big playground which had a lot of magical equipment.
After seeing that Emma was almost jumping after taking Jayden’s permission she ran away to play, aside from the playground there were all kinds of things someone could think of, small creatures were jumping around and playing.
“What kind of place is this? Can something like this really exist?” Eleanor spoke in amazement.
“It’s like an actual paradise, Hecate you are awesome.” Liling complemented.
“Heh so Xerome, what were you saying earlier?” Hecate spoke.
‘Why am I the only one targeted? They were all booing at that time sigh is my curse still working?’ he thought and began to speak: “I am sorry, I was wrong my birth was a mistake my parents didn’t love me, no one loves me I can’t get a girl. And-” Xerome began to speak in a depressing tone and didn’t seem to stop.
“A-Alright, you don’t have to blame yourself for it I forgive you.” Hecate spoke looking at him weirdly.
Jayden looked into the sky and he saw a cloud that was freely flying in the air just like the flying nimbus, so without wasting a moment Jayden directly jumped towards it first he touched it to see if he can sit on it and the cloud was actually was very soft to touch.
He sat on the cloud and began to move it all over the place at high speed, even though it was not his first time flying but it still felt great to ride that cloud just like in the anime, Hecate looked more and more proud as she saw everyone enjoying the things she had created.
Layla found a building that was completely made of gold and diamonds, at first she was surprised but then she began to check it out and even tried to use her powers on it.
One by one, they all found something interesting and went to check those things, even Viser and the shadow assassins found things of their interest, they asked for Jayden’s permission and then went to check out various places, it was like Hecate knew all of them a bit too well.
“What’s there for me?” Xerome asked in an excited tone as he looked at the others who were all having fun.
“Ah sorry I forgot about you.” Hecate said with an apologetic expression.
“…” Xerome stood silent and seemed as if he was about to cry, so Hecate hastily added:
“I was just kidding, you can go inside that building and you would be able to find something fun.”
Hearing that a big smile appeared on his face immediately as he thanked Hecate and ran towards the building, after entering he saw it was some kind of concert inside where a lot of beautiful women were sitting as audience.
And as soon as he walked in, all the women began to cheer and shout for him and there was even a stage prepared for him to perform on, Xerome found it even better than he had expected he instantly ran into the stage and took the mic as he began to speak:
“So ladies, my name is Xerome and you will be listening to me today. By the way, your stomach may hurt a little later since I am a bit too funny.” After he spoke, all the women began to laugh at his joke so Xerome enjoyed it even more.
Jayden was sitting on the flying nimbus and going all around the place, it was much bigger than it looked at first glance and soon he discovered that this cloud was not the only thing prepared for him here, then he found several things from different animes, everything was just fabulous and in great detail.
After spending several hours exploring different things, they all finally returned to the center, there were still a lot of things that they were yet to see Hecate must have put a lot of effort and time into creating all of this.
“Hecate, that was great, when did you get to know so many things about anime?” Jayden asked, they were all sitting on the ground and telling each other whatever they had experienced just now.
“I have my own ways of knowing things about all of you, though some of them were just too obvious… Actually most of them were.” She replied.
“When did you even create such a thing?” Ivy asked, as usual she was sitting with her friend Lisa, Hecate had prepared several things even for the both of them.
