Summoned and Unwanted
Chapter 546

546 Performance issues

Vincent was actually reading the text box of the reputation gain and Promised Quest without saying the trigger word, but to others, Vincent was keenly looking at Anna as if he was attracted to her.

Vincent removed the windows and released the handshake hastily. He respectfully apologized for staring at Anna and smoothly changed the subject by saying, “We still haven’t talked about Feng Mengli, haven’t we, Duke Lucas.”

“Hehe.” Lucas chuckled while his gaze showed he knew Vincent was using him to change the subject.

The carriage stopped, and the coachman notified of their arrival.

The curtains were closed, and they kept anyone from replaceing out who the passengers were. Additionally, because of the significant topics discussed, it was challenging to know how long the trip took.

As Lucas opened the curtain on his side, the view of the sky felt refreshing to Vincent. He could finally take a break from the current nerve-wracking and unbelievable situation.

“Looks like we are here.” Lucas opened the door and continued, “This is my mansion that I want to transport to another area I bought.”

“Huh? Transport this building now?” Vincent became shocked after replaceing out there was another place to visit before being sent home.

Vincent calmed himself and exited the carriage. In front of him was a vast land. It was approximately two to three times the size of the Emerald Lionheart Mansion’s land.

.....

Vincent turned around and discovered how he was approximately in the middle of the enormous property. South was the entrance gate, and on each of the West, North, and East side were one large mansion with a luscious garden and a path for carriages to pass.

At the center, the current place Vincent was standing, was a larger mansion with a large pond. When Kazumi left Vincent’s body to go up in the sky and have a better view, Kazumi compared the center mansion similar to a massive roundabout-like mansion.

“This is the center mansion and the one I use.” Lucas looked at the pond and smiled. “I was trying to catch a fish when I received the report of your arrival.”

“Haha. The report gave me a good laugh.” Lucas smacked Vincent’s back and continued, “No ordinary person would fight against a vice-captain before setting foot inside the city.”

“Is that why the royal soldiers came to solve the situation?” Vincent asked.

“Yes. I knew at that time Feng Mengli really liked to give me entertainment. It would’ve been a shame to put that kind of entertainment in prison.” Lucas smirked and asked, “Isn’t that so?”

“Y-yeah...”

[This old man never ceases to take me by surprise. No wonder you look like a person constantly being interrogated and your actions recorded.]

-...-

“Lucas. Why do you want to relocate your mansion?” Asked Anna curiously.

“I like to fish, but I have become tired of this small pond. I have bought another property and made a large area with water. There I can put in more fish.” Lucas chuckled and joked, “Maybe I can get a mermaid to take care of the fish and sing me songs.”

“That sounds wonderful.” Said Anna with a pleasant smile, giving the impression Anna wanted to meet a mermaid.

Vincent had a conflicted expression. *Gulp* He mustered his courage and asked, “Wouldn’t it be better to let the mermaid be free and rejoin her family?”

Anna shook her head, and her expression looked unhappy.

“It is not as you think, Vincent. Even if we are a peace with the merfolk, those that were once a slave will be persuaded as land dwellers’ toys.”

Vincent looked at Lucas and understood what he was trying to explain. Similar to how elves don’t like half-elves, merfolk treats those with the slave curse as ticking time bombs. They would not trust someone who could betray them one day.

[So giving them a place to stay is better than letting them on their own. It is similar to how we are taking care of Leah, Clara, and Beth instead of sending them back to the orphanage.]

-Yeah... no matter how high a person’s position is, everyone lives in a cage in the end. The size of the cage is the only difference.-

[Spoken like a true scholar with thousands upon thousands of stories read under your belt.]

-...-

“I would be pleased to give someone a new, better life. I could have her become my legs and swim without fear of drowning.” Anna smiled radiantly like an angel and continued, “I bet it would be fun.”

“But I am your legs...” Bilka complained.

“I liked the idea Vincent said before. If Bilka is my land legs, then I need legs for the water and wings for the sky.” Said Anna, breaking Bilka’s heart.

‘This cunning human has influenced my angelic princess too much! If I get the chance, I want to send him crying to his horde of women.’ Bilka thought while glaring at Vincent as if she really wanted to punch him now.

“Ahem. How about we spend some time fishing?” Suggested Lucas out of the blue.

“I like fishing. Last time I caught a cute little fish. I loved how it returned to me after I let it go.” Anna looked delighted to fish. On the other hand, Bilka kept glaring at Vincent with her facial expression showing, ‘Don’t you dare catch more fish than the princess.’

“I would love to catch fish, but because Sunday to too precious to me, I would like to hurry up and spend what remains with my family. Mostly Sakura because she doesn’t come with us to the academy.”

“I... understand...” Anna responded with an apologetic tone. After hearing Vincent’s words, she understood Vincent had other things to do instead of spending time with her.

“There is no need to look, sad princess.” Lucas looked at Vincent and winked. “We can invite Vincent and his wives to fish next time. Vincent will be able to spend time with you and his wives at the same time.”

“Spend time with the princess...”

“I would love that.”

While Anna liked the idea, Bilka looked like a defeated person now. No one was listening to her complaints.

[Hehe. Looks like you do not have a say on this matter. I guess we are going to see the princess more than we expected.]

[But this is rather ironic. The more we wanted to lay low to spend some time growing peacefully, the more important people’s interests we attracted.]

[I guess Lilith’s route is harder than we expected.]

*Sigh* -Let’s focus on upgrading the storage and have time to ask about Feng Mengli.-

Vincent went in front of the mansion and closed his eyes. The intent started to spread all around the mansion, and Vincent could perceive what was inside and the approximate size of the mansion.

Vincent tried to store the mansion, but it gave him an error. There wasn’t enough space, and it didn’t help to have a lot of decorations and furniture inside.

Vincent and Kazumi were surprised to see a different type of skill upgrade. However, instead of pondering if the skills were growing alongside Vincent, the two decided to focus on the current situation.

‘What happened?’ Pondered Vincent with a shocked expression. He feared Soul Dimensional Storage had reached its limits, even if it showed the infinity sign.

[Vincent. Don’t lose hope. How about you try again?]

Vincent nodded and focused on the mansion in front of him. ‘I will store you! Even if I have to remove all the furniture and suffer more unnecessary trips.’ He thought like a person seeking revenge.

.....

[What?] -Only text change?-

Kazumi didn’t know what to say, while Vincent felt like he was scammed out of three days worth of Soul Power.

-... I. I will try again.-

[Good Luck.]

Vincent glared at Lucas’s mansion and tried to upgrade Soul Dimensional Storage once again.

Behind Vincent were three people curiously trying to guess when the mansion would turn into green fireflies. The report they read stated, ‘Target touched objects and turned them into green dots similar to fireflies. Target later released the aforementioned green dots. Each dot gathered and reshaped the transformed object.’
