Bang, Bang, Bang—!!!
The sound of repeated banging disturbed my sleep, interrupting after just a few hours of slumber.
Soone was at my room's door. However, I wanted to sleep more.
So frustrated, I buried my head in the pillow, hoping to muffle the noise and return to sleep.
Thankfully, the commotion stopped after a couple of minutes.
Tring, Tring, Tring~!!!
However, my peace was short-lived as my smart bracelet began to ring incessantly.
Now soone was calling !
"Tsk!"
Annoyed, I stretched out my hand and reached for it on the bedside table.
After pressing its power button and switching it off, I let out a sigh of relief and—
BANG, BANG, BANG—!!!
"What the–?!"
Suddenly, I was startled by the sound of banging once again.
Only this ti, it wasn't at my room door!
Soone was banging on the window next to my bed from outside!
Who the fuck climbed eight fours just to knock on my window?! Just who was that desperate, and not to ntion insane?!
Of course, I knew the answer to my own question, but I still got up from my bed and walked over to the window.
As I raised the window blinds, what I saw was a sight far from comforting.
Actually, let correct myself: it was a downright creepy sight.
Staring back at from outside the window was a blue-haired elf with long, pointy ears.
His face was pressed against the glass, causing condensation to form with each exhale. His nose was scrunched up, and a distorted grin was plastered on his face.
"Found you~" the blue-haired elf spoke in a spooky tone. "Co on now and open the window~ I won't hurt you~!"
Suii—!
Without any delay, I took out my new bow from the dinsional storage of my smart bracelet and knocked an arrow into it.
Drawing back the bowstring, I aid it at the creep on my room window.
"HUH?! Wait! No, no, no! Lucas, it's !!" the elf shouted as his eyes widened in shock. "I'm Kent! Don't you recognize your best bro?!"
"Nope," I replied in a chilling tone. "Now, I'll kill you for self-defense."
"Huh?! What self-defense?! I already said I won't hurt you!"
"That's what every pedophile says to his victim."
"Wh-What?! What do you take for– wait, actually, now that you've ntioned it, you're right. It is a creepy line."
"See?"
"Maybe that's why that girl ran away today when I said this to her."
"..."
"Anyway," Kent scratched the window. "Open up. I will fall any mont now."
Click—
Rolling my eyes, I stashed the bow and arrow back into my smart bracelet's pocket space and opened the window.
"How did you even climb this high?" I asked while giving him a hand and pulling him inside.
"Didn't I tell you," Kent said, puffing up his chest proudly. "My father taught the ways of the boy scout."
"Hmm? I thought scouting only included outdoor activities like camping, aquatics, woodcraft, hiking, backpacking, and a few sports."
"Yeah, but my father also taught rock climbing along with all that. If you're a little flexible like , then you can basically climb any building."
"Damn," I was genuinely impressed for a mont. "Anyway, I'm sure you didn't disturb my sleep to brag about your scouting skills."
"You were sleeping?" Kent furrowed his brows and exclaid. "La! It's only 8:44 PM, and the night is still young! Co on, let's go to a club or sothing!"
"Kent," I sighed. "I had a long day. I just want to close my eyes and–"
Interrupting , Kent asked, "Speaking of which, where were you the whole day? I didn't see you anywhere during shopping or sightseeing. You didn't even co out for dinner. A hot chick at the reception inford us that you left in the morning and only ca back in the afternoon."
Taken aback by his concern, I was about to make up so lie before he continued, not giving a window to speak.
"Haa!" Kent gasped dramatically. "Don't tell ; the mafias are after you! I knew it! We're too rich for this city now! Everyone will co after our money!"
"....Kent, we're in a city called Silver City. There are thousands of more wealthy people than us," I shook my head. "Anyway, I had a personal reason. Now I'm tired, so will you please let sleep."
"I see," Kent touched his chin. "It really must've been a long day. But no, I can't let you sleep."
"....And just why is that?" I sighed again, failing to get rid of him.
"Because today we will party like there is no tomorrow!" Kent waved his hand in the air as if parting the ocean. "Dress up and look pretty, Lucas! Why, you ask? Because we will experience the nightlife in the City Of Elves, that's why!"
I massaged the bridge of my nose as I heard him spouting nonsense. He was standing right in front of the open window.
Should I push him?
Ha! If I push him now, it will be a perfect murder! I can get rid of him!
He'll fall and die on the impact, and everyone will think he just slipped while climbing up my window!
"Lucas, why are you grinning like a maniac?" Kent arched an eyebrow before quickly returning to talking nonsense.
"Anyway," he said. "Before you deny my suggestion again–"
"Already denied. I'm not going."
"Rember this; you gave your word to accompany to clubs and bars whenever I'll ask you to!"
Tsk, I did give him my word. Should I just punch him until he goes back to his room and leaves alone? It worked last ti.
"And before you even think of punching again," Kent raised his index finger. "Let tell you that I won't yield tonight."
"Oh, yeah?" I scoffed. "Fine. Challenge accepted–"
Before I could even clench my fists, Kent spoke up again while quickly crossing his arms over his face. "And also, everyone else is waiting for us downstairs!!"
"Huh?" I frowned. "Everyone who?"
