CHANCES - Battle of Heart: Online
Chapters 31. Autumn Joker Fest 《 I 》

...『️Researned wise because this is only fiction, not real️ 』...

Previous :

Several days passed with me continuing to help the citizens to prepare a very magnificent decoration in the middle of the Joker city square.

Finally, the long-awaited Joker City Autumn Festival day arrives...

...****************...

The sound of trumpets and other musical instruments echoed around the streets of Joker City in the morning until noon. Colorful paper fell one by one from each roof of the settlement residents. The paper was scattered until it filled the whole of the road through which people passed by.

Small stalls with golden and orange yellow decorations lined each long roadside leading towards the Joker Palace.

The blowing sea breeze dropped the reddish-orange dried leaves onto the road. A rustling sound could be heard every step of one's foot stepping on the fallen dry foliage.

Young children run around and around visiting one by one kiosk that sells food or small races with toys or various trinkets that look funny.

I was standing leaning on the edge of the entrance gate of the Joker Palace because in front of the palace was seen a large stage where Mr. Mayor was talking using an item similar to a mic. Then, on the stage it was seen a transparent projection screen from Mr. Mayor.

What is illusion magic ? I don't know.

Looking at the crowd from a distance and explaining it to myself, it seems like a good job for me.

While thinking about various random things, I saw Yuu walking towards me from where she had previously been lined up in the ranks of the people in front of the stage.

"Master? Didn't you take Princess Valeria for a tour of the festival? This event is quite crowded for young couples in this city." he explained while pointing to several good couples of young children younger than me, teenagers, he explained, adults who laugh together and look friendly while holding hands.

I crossed my arms, "Isn't Valeria busy helping the judges and the citizens who are in the race? He was also planning to meet some noble families together with Mr. Mayor."

Yuu shook her head as if judging my actions. Yeah, I mean I didn't take Valeria around because she was busy and I didn't want to bother her.

"Don't you think Princess Valeria would be happy if you took her for a walk?"

"Wouldn't he get bored going around town? Valeria must have been around a lot at the festival that is always held every year, right?"

Yuu frowned while smiling faintly, "Master would regret if he missed this opportunity. Many other noble children always come to Princess Valeria at festivals like this to spend time with her."

Our view was directed at a crowd that was more noisy than the cries of food vendors in stalls. Seen a group of young boys like me who shrouded someone near the banyan tree on the right side of the palace.

A person in contact is given a flower arrangement or gift from each boy standing around him. Yuu let out a short laugh, "I just warned you..."

Of course the person in the middle was Valeria. Some other boys invited him to chat for a moment but different from the one who was on the left side of Valeria.

He stood close enough that almost their shoulders touched each other.

Unlike the other children who seemed to give privacy distance to Valeria, one child was not. He's tall, handsome, and daring?squidward ?

...「Host」...

Come on, I'm glad that show !!!

All right, back to the kid. The boy was tall, a porcelain-white face, Myles' blond hair, sea-blue eyes, a pointed nose, and of course. He kept trying to get Valeria to talk and kept smiling.

"As expected of you sir! Already found the ultimate love rival!" suddenly, Yuu said while nodding his head and stroking his well-shaved chin. I looked at him as well as the one who was looking at me.

"Aren't you going to go and help Mr. Mayor?"

"I will leave after giving important information to you regarding the child." he replied before walking over to me to whisper.

Doubtful, I gave my ear to him.

"The boy was one of the most well-known noble children in this Joker City. Besides being rich, his family also has a history of donating to a very large church."

I kept watching the two of them still chatting. Valeria looks happy and also speaks a lot. Occasionally her cheeks flushed red and she clasped tightly onto the bunch of flower arrangements she had in her hand.

Yuu smirked and continued, "Only he was the one who was very kind and close to Princess Valeria all along. You could say.he was a childhood friend of Princess Valeria."

I yawned and Yuu looked at me with an annoyed look, "Master? Are you not afraid of being cheated? For the Joker Kingdom, a Queen can have as many men as they want, Sir."

"really? Well, then, it's up to Valeria. I'm just someone who wants to hitch a ride with her."

Yuu gasped and patted me on the shoulder, "Even though Master thinks like that..It's only Master that Valeria accepted as the first person and also saw the two of you holding hands yesterday...isn't it obvious?"

Yuu directly pushed me towards the horde of children while running towards the stage before saying, "I remind you, Sir there is no need to thank you later. I support Ship Master!"

No-no, even though many girls like me.

All the ships will be sunk before making their maiden sea voyage.

Even though those children were still focusing their attention on Valeria, only Valeria was aware of my existence. He smiled widely and ran out of the horde just like that to get to me.

Ugh, now all those kids are looking at me cynically, as well as Squidward I mean Valeria's childhood friend.

"Kyla! Are you going around this festival?" her face was so bright and shining that I tried to avoid her gaze.

"Um, not really. I was just looking at the race there."

"Ohh." before Valeria would open her mouth again, she was cut off by her childhood friend who had no idea what her name was by walking to nearby Valeria.

"Valeria, what if you go around this festival with me?" his voice sounded very excited.

Is this Myles' reincarnation or something?

Some of the other kids went back around Valeria to ask me the same thing, until they pushed me away.

I didn't use my powers, so I let them push me away. My eyes met Valeria.

Why does this feel so troublesome ?

"Valeria! Come on, date me again."

I spread my right hand towards him who was still in the middle of the horde who was now silent to see me with a surprised face.

Valeria showed her sweet smile and immediately took my palm. I pulled him, so that he was right next to me with our shoulders bumping into each other.

Then we stepped away towards the city, leaving all the other kids gawking at the sight of the two of us walking hand in hand.

"You okay?"

"No, it's exhausting. My cheeks hurt from having to smile at them."

"Then...if your cheek hurts, why do you keep smiling at me now??"

"Of course, it's because of you. You stupid fool."

"It doesn't matter, I'm stupid because I want it."

"Then give me a kiss on the cheek so that it doesn't hurt anymore?"

His words made me stop walking, as well as the one now looking at me. I saw his heart condition

...「My Heart Status」...

...< Name: Valeria Joker >...

...< Current feeling : Pounding, Happy, Tired, Miss >...

I took a breath and walked near him. I carried my face moving closer to his reddened face

Holding back my smile, I looked like I was going to kiss her cheek so she closed her eyes. I stopped my aunt two inches away from her cheek which I directly turned to her ear to whisper softly

"I'm just kidding~"

He immediately opened his eyes and glared in surprise at me who was already smiling smirk at him before I ran off my hand from him.

She caught my hand and I let her, seeing me still laughing indistinctly, Valeria laughed along.

Under the fallen tree, we both laughed hand in hand.

Just sec...

Let me feel this happiness.

...****************...

"I WON'T LET THAT BASTARD RUIN MY PLANS!!!"

PREAANGGGS

'The Jokyo family will be part of the Joker Kingdom. I will not let the son of a bastard who somehow suddenly came from destroy all the plans that I prepared for decades even before Princess Valeria was born!' thought the old man who became the head of the Jokyo family.

Beside him is a childhood friend of Valeria, who curls up in fear to see her grandfather angry.

"I'm sorry, grandpa.pardon me!" whispered in the middle of a cry.

"Stop crying and make Valeria submit to you! Such an easy thing alone could not.he was just a blind girl who lost her parents! He should be easy to conquer with your kindness, Peter!" He yelled furiously at Peter, Valeria's childhood friend who instantly subdued her body.

'WHAT?! WHAT SHOULD I DO SO VALERIA DOESN'T LIKE THAT BASTARD?! WHAT IS IT, I KNOW!!!'

Aware of something, the old man snorted softly and grinned when he realized a proper plan to eliminate the bastard.

Enjoy your mortal pleasures, you bastard, I will make you suffer.

...****************...

"What if we bet?"

"Huh?" I looked towards Valeria who pointed at the stall like an air rifle shooting race.

Valeria took the candy in my hand and pushed me towards the stall that was greeted by a father.

"Ah? Princess Valeria?!and fiancee? Welcome to Who's fast, get a lot!"

Huh huh?

The gentlemen gave me a small rifle and showed me an existing target more than 1 meter away from where I was standing.

"The rules are very easy Sir, just shoot every target as much as possible that you can within 1 minute. 500 shots right on target for the main prize is 'The legendary hairpin belonging to the Water Dragon guards Joker Island'!!!"

"Ohhh!!!" Valeria gasped at that while looking at the main prize at the very top of the stall. Ah, it looks glittering too when exposed to the sun...

No-no, my view is now on the second prize beside the grand prize

A thin rectangular box with glass on its front, it was about the size of a black adult man's palm and an old, dark brown wallet that looked worn out

Ehhh... isn't that my wallet?!!

"That's the second gift where did you get it?!" I couldn't help my hysterics so some people turned to me, and Valeria was also surprised.

"Um.I'm sorry, son, but that's a secret"

"I beg you! Quickly tell me where did you find him?!" I urged her so as to make Valeria pat my shoulder with a worried look.

I need to calm down I need to calm down

Taking a deep breath and taking it out slowly, I looked back at the father who was already starting to get scared.

"I'm sorry sir, I hope you tell me where you found that thing?"

Seeing that the father was still in doubt, Valeria immediately went to beg like me, "It seems that this is very important for Kyle....Please tell us sir!"

With a doubtful expression, the gentlemen finally replied, "I just bought it from wait..Why did I forget?"

The father asked us back.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay..are you guys going to play or not? Pay first 5 pieces of bronze."

Seeing that father's sudden change in behavior, Valeria glanced at me. I nodded and gave the money to the man.

"Val, I'm sorry. I think I'll choose to get a second prize. I promise I'll make you look like that first gift. How's it?" I whispered to Valeria.

He nodded briefly and whispered back, "That and also the bubble drink yesterday.I love it."

"Of course, honey. What the hell didn't make you?", my god made her smile in embarrassment and hit me on the shoulder spoiled. I glanced at the stall guard father who was gawking at the behavior of the two of us. I cleared my throat and directly positioning the small rifle facing to was one target

...「Finally, the amphibious crocodile side appeared」...

Noisy.

...「I'm right, aren't I?」...

Just tell me if you're jealous. Take it easy, there will be another time for you, Chae Rin.

...「...I don't care」...

I care.

...「...」...

DAARRR DARR DAARR DAARR

I quickly kept firing the small rifle in my hand until the bullet hit the target. Glancing at the bounty board, I needed 250 shots to get my wallet back.

Why is my wallet in this place ?

DAARRRR DARR DAARR DAARR DAARRR DAARRRR DARR DAARR DAARR DAARRRR DAARRR DARR DAARR DAARR

It is even complete with my smartphone.

Why did this father suddenly forget how he got my things?!

DAARRRR DARR DAARR DAARR DAARRR DAARRRR DARR DAARR DAARR DAARRRR DAARRR DARR DAARR DAARR DAARR

"Congratulations! Master has already got the second prize. Here goes!" the father's voice sounded cheerful and played a small bell before giving the two things to me.

Valeria noticed me who immediately opened the package.

First, I opened my wallet.

Of course, there are still money and bank cards, until the resident card is mine. I took and took out the card.

I held my breath when I saw my old face Kaoru Ishikawa.

Strange, my head doesn't hurt right now...

"Who is that?" valeria asked watching Kaoru's face on the card.

"Why does he look a little like you, Kyle?"

The question I did not have time to answer because I immediately opened my smartphone that still has the same password. Successfully opening it, I immediately saw an image in the gallery application that had opened after opening the lock and

DARKENED.
