Heretical Invisibility Magic

The gondola of the Ferris wheel slowly descended to the ground, its door moving slightly, as if a gust of wind had pushed it open.

Lin Yi, the butler, stood on the platform of the Ferris wheel and glanced inside, seeing no one, before jumping down to inspect the next gondola that had landed.

Was there really no one in the gondola?

I pulled at the corner of Queen Lan’s school uniform, hunched over, and stepped out of the gondola.

As soon as I steadied myself, Queen Lan, who was ahead, didn’t hesitate and quickly moved forward, crouching.

I hurriedly quickened my pace, tightly gripping Lan’s clothes, and cautiously made my way forward.

‘Did we really become invisible?’

I raised my eyebrows and silently asked Queen Lan with my eyes.

‘Of course! Be careful, hold onto me, and don’t let him notice anything unusual.’

Queen Lan raised her eyebrows and signaled back with her eyes.

I began to sweat and nodded.

This was Queen Lan’s plan to avoid being detected by Lin Yi.

We were using an invisibility spell, making us undetectable to those around us.

This spell was of a lower rank, so even though Ji Qianluo wasn’t a sorcerer, she could still use it by reciting an incantation.

The spell seemed quite effective, but I had practiced it in the gondola for half a day without success.

In the end, I had to hold onto Queen Lan’s clothes, allowing her spell to encompass me as well.

Queen Lan said I couldn’t learn it because I lacked the strong intention to master the spell.

So, all it took was a strong will to learn this spell? No talent or skill was required?

Chen Shen would surely learn it then! He could sneak into the women’s baths and spy on them without any trouble.

I had seen a manga called “Fantasy Paradise Plan” where the protagonist uses invisibility to sneak into the women’s baths and enjoys himself.

If Chen Shen learned this spell, that manga would become a reality! This spell is heretical!

Lin Yi seemed to be unaware of our presence, his eyes fixed on the next gondola descending.

As we passed by Lin Yi, I noticed his fierce, gangster-like eyes and my heart raced, fearing he might discover us.

Suddenly, Lin Yi seemed to sense something and turned his head, looking in our direction.

‘Idiot, your heartbeat is too fast!’

Queen Lan immediately glared at me and signaled with her eyes.

What? Can Lin Yi hear that? Aren’t adults supposed to have diminished hearing? His ears are still sharp! Is Lin Yi actually a middle school student?

I quickly controlled my heartbeat, taking a deep breath to calm it down.

Lin Yi probably didn’t see anyone, so he turned his head back and continued monitoring the Ferris wheel.

Queen Lan and I both sighed in relief and quickly sped up, escaping Lin Yi’s line of sight.

On a bench in a secluded area of the amusement park, Queen Lan dispelled the invisibility spell, and I collapsed onto the bench, relieved.

‘Thank goodness, we almost got caught.’

Queen Lan gave me a “Whose fault is that?” look but didn’t say anything.

Hey, what’s with that look? You’re attacking my character!

I can’t control my heartbeat, and if people could, there wouldn’t be so many heart disease deaths!

I glared back at Queen Lan. ‘By the way, you had this method all along. Why didn’t you use it earlier, making me run around the amusement park for half a day?’

‘Who would suddenly disappear in public? I had to choose the right moment,’

Queen Lan replied.

‘…’

This woman always finds such convenient excuses.

Queen Lan looked at my miserable expression and smiled. ‘Alright, Li Qingchen, we shouldn’t delay. Should we head to the other world soon?’

‘Huh? I never agreed to that!’

I frowned and replied.

‘Incredible! You still haven’t decided? As usual, you’re so indecisive,’

Queen Lan said, covering half of her face.

‘Shut up, I need to think about it,’

I leaned on my hand and said.

‘Then let’s ride all the attractions again!’

Queen Lan immediately turned her back to me, pointing at the amusement park with determination.

Wait, how did we come to that conclusion? What kind of logic is that?

‘Why?’

‘Because you need to think, so shouldn’t I keep myself busy until you decide? Of course, I’ll play other games to pass the time,’

Queen Lan replied.

Stop right there! Something’s off from that “so.”

Who said I need to decide in a short time? Just because I said I need to think about it, you assume it’s a quick decision?

And you’re going to wait for me? Your thought process is seriously twisted!

‘Anyway…’

Queen Lan smiled mischievously. ‘Li Qingchen, you better decide by today, or I won’t let you go back. Old Count will be unhappy, too.’

‘Why should I listen to you?’

I snorted.

Even if I agreed, I would still have to go to the other world with you, and I still wouldn’t be able to go back. This threat doesn’t even make sense!

Queen Lan chuckled and pulled out a small, discreet camera from her pocket.

‘Okay, okay, I’ll go with you again,’

I quickly stopped her.

Having evidence in someone else’s hands is terrible.

By the way, weren’t these photos supposed to be deleted? You tricked me out of two hundred soft coins!

Queen Lan cheered. ‘Great! But I used all the money on me earlier, so you’ll have to pay this time.’

‘Ah,’

I realized something and patted my pocket.

‘I’m out of money, too.’

‘…’

‘What?’
