The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

Chapter 215: A Pro

****(POV)

Every day I regret what could have been.

I am a city mage.

Most of the guards can't use much magic.

This should give me an exalted status.

The only problem is that I am serving the lord here as a favor.

A favor for saving my life.

It all happened when we were in the diplomatic city.

I got accosted by an unknown man.

He wanted to use my services to walk in the women's bath.

You know with the invisibility magic and all.

I needed money so I accepted.

Turn out that the guy got found out.

Usually, he would have been the one to suffer from getting caught.

Nope, he turned out to be some noble.

Yes, I'm talking about the very lord of this city.

He blamed me, brought me trouble.

The only alternative I had to survive was to serve him.

For the salary of a normal guard.

Yes, he is an asshole.

Not only lustful but also an idiot.

I've heard rumors that he used to be a decent human being.

As if I'd believe something that far stretched.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

I need to focus.

I have a job to do.

I need to sneak into the library and dispose of the enemy.

Making sure the hostage is unharmed.

Perfect job for me.

Actually, this might be an opportunity.

I need to perform well now.

This could be a life-changing moment for me.

I could even go back to the capital.

This would be amazing.

Just in time as they send a messenger with their demands.

I turn invisible and follow him as he heads back in.

I make sure to silence the sound of my footsteps.

All good.

I enter undiscovered.

I look around warily

What the hell?!

That's the only way to describe what I'm seeing.

Many young people.

Some are reading.

Some are talking to each other.

One is even sleeping in the back.

Where is the enemy?!

There is even a small white wolf.

I have the feeling it glanced at me quickly.

No, I'm probably imagining things.

Is the dangerous individual disguised?

Is he watching from somewhere hidden?

The scene in front of me clearly doesn't make sense.

More like, it would be fine in a normal situation

I guess I should listen to their conversation.

It is confusing a first, but I figure it out.

They are playing a game.

They go, I spy with my little eye

Then they give the description of something.

The others then take turns trying to guess what it is.

It is a contest of whoever manages to figure it out the fastest.

Everything is peaceful.

Too peaceful.

I keep listening and listening, but I can't get any clue.

Where is the victim here?

Should I just try to go back and relay this weird information?

Should I stay and keep analyzing?

I do get the feeling that staying here pondering won't really help.

This is crazy.

Had I known I would have stayed home.

They didn't even call for me.

I am the one that chanced upon the outside scene.

I shouldn't have volunteered.

At all.

Wait, relax.

Even if I don't understand anything, I am safe.

I have enough mana to stay hidden for a long time.

This is my specialty after all.

I just need to wait.

In the background, I hear them playing their game.

A young man in the middle.

One that looks ordinary.

One you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

One that is petting the wolf.

Peacefully smiling.

He opens his mouth.

Then starts a sentence.

As many others have done before.

I spy with my little eye he goes.

He starts a description.

Not of an object, but of a human.

This much is clear.

The more it goes the more uncomfortable I become.

At first, I'm not exactly sure why.

But then it hits me.

Chills me to my very core.

The more he goes on

The more I realize who he is describing.

Me.

He is describing me perfectly.

No, that's impossible!

I am fully invisible.

That wolf.

It glanced at me before.

What if it wasn't a mistake?!

What if it knows?!

No, this shouldn't be!

It can't!

I need to calm down and

The others keep guessing without success.

Then he agrees to give them another hint.

He says that the thing he is talking about is currently invisible.

Fuck.

I'm screwed.

Royally and utterly fucked.

If I surrender now, will he let me live?

He opens his mouth once more.

[What will it be. Exposed dead or alive?]

Oh shit!

He isn't kidding!

There is only one thing to do.

"Wait! I surrender! Please spare me!"

I throw myself on the ground kneeling.

Invisibility undone.

Defenseless.

Oh god.

Now my fate rests in his hands.

Please let me live another day.

Please, I am too young to die.

I want to hit the baths one last time at least!

He takes an authoritative voice.

[Well then, it will be your turn, go ahead.]

My turn? Will he kill me now?!

I want to grab his leg and beg.

It probably wouldn't work.

For once I regret being born a guy!

I could have tried to charm him!

I'm fucked.

[Repeat after me.]

"Y-yes Sir! Anything!"

Will it be a soul oath?

Will he make me his slave?

Beats dying in any case.

I'll do it!

[I spy with my little eye...]

"I spy with my little *choke! *"

What the hell is happening?!

[Then you want to finish by describing something, go on.]

He wants me to play?!

What?!

No, this can't be so simple.

Quick think!

I need to say something to save my skin.

Ah, I know!

"I spy with my little eye, an extremely handsome and courageous beast tamer. One that has a heroic and wise white wolf!"

[HAHAHA, please! That one is too easy! You gotta make it more difficult! That's obviously me!]

In the background, I can see the others making disgusted expressions.

Whatever I just want to live!

Everything will be fine now, right?!
