Chereads / The Marionette’s Puppeteer / Chapter 16 - Chapter 15: Got Arrested

Chapter 16 - Chapter 15: Got Arrested

"We cannot let a person get inside the capital without an identification card."

One of the guards told Mareine when it was about her time.

'Card? What's that...?' She thought critically. She never heard Alvin nor any of those people from the small village talk about that.

"Erm.... C-can I just go...? I'm a kid... Have some respect please...." She murmured slowly; reasoning out to just let her go inside.

"STEP ASIDE." The guard responded firmly.

'To come this way.... But only to fail?'  Having this thought, she gritted her teeth.

Mareine lined up in a long line standing and waiting until it was her turn.

There were many visitors from other places coming to the city and she was one of them.

But in the end, after those hours of standing in a long line, she couldn't get inside because she doesn't have an identification card.

'I have no choice.'

Her string, invincible to other people, appeared. Her Distinctive Special Passive Ultimate Skill: Marionettist, the controller, (Lucifer)— She can use this skill anytime at her will, and as what the name of the skill 'the controller', she can manipulate people and even make them her puppets.

With just a one move from her finger, the guard in front of her was now in control of her.

"Can I go now?" Mareine said.

"Yes, as you wish."

The other guards got confused why they're letting a person without an identification card to come in, so again, Mareine had no choice but to manipulate all the guards guarding up the gate to remove the ruckus.

Lucifer, from its name, it's truly demonic.

After stepping inside the capital, Mareine deactivated her skill and removed the strings connected to the guards.

After that, the guards were in trouble, trying to remember something they thought they forgot but the can't seem to recall it. 

"What happened.?"

"Did I fail to remember something?"

"I forgot something."

"Maybe it's nothing important. "

"Woah! The capital is so beautiful!!"

I can't help but to glance all over my surroundings. My mind was amazed all over what I saw— this place is full of people.

There were houses, vendors, small stores and even their roads were amazing. Concrete brick roads and passageways.

Countless peoples were talking and chattering and many kids were playing as I walked by in almost the whole street.

And as I look at the sky, I see something the same as my Barrier Shield.

「 Divine Barrier

Spell Class: SS

Durability: S 」

A thick glass like my Barrier Shield was covering the whole capital.

Who casted it? This must be made with tons of mana and magic.

Looking back to the ground again, there were many delicious foods and fruits I've seen in the store but I can't buy them.

"I don't have money huhu."

I saw people buying and they handed the store owner a bronze coin and I don't have those.

Although I can just use my skill and control even the whole people here, but that's too satanic.

"I have a conscience, you know..."

I really have the urge to do bad things right now. My hands tickled. It feels like my Ultimate Skill: Angel of Peace, (Chamuel) and Marionettist, the controller, (Lucifer) are fighting right now. 

Angels and Demons, seriously, how do I get those currency here? 

I knew it. I shouldn't have fled from the small village.

It can't be helped. I'll just go window shopping for now.

Huhu, I can't help but to drool looking at those kids eating yummy foods.

".....Where should I get money?"

...!!

A sudden idea came inside my head. That's right! I completely forgot it but I have my Ultimate Skill: Master of Weapon Creation, (Azazel)— I can literally make some silver coins!

'Azazel.'

Chanting from my head, 1 silver coin appeared in my palm.

"It worked!!!"

I can't help but to feel excited. Finally I can some foods, ice creams, crêpe and even more in this place!!!

◇◆◇

That's what I thought. But now, I'm being held as a prisoner.

"I told you it's just my skill!"

"A KID DOES NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF SKILL!!"

After buying food from the store, I got reported and here I am now.

I didn't know that there was magic and even carved specified numbers in the coins to know if it's fake or not.

And hahaha..... I'm gonna be arrested.

"You committed a crime of duplicating the coins!!"

"Lucifer."

All the people in the hall were connected in my strings.

"....I really don't wanna do this.. Huhu sorry, I won't duplicate the coins again." I talked to them although they were standing like a statue waiting for my command.

With my command, I was free from the crime I committed and even with the store owner who reported me, I erased my face from their memories.

I mean, it's not a crime since I didn't murder someone, this just a small mistake for an ignorant person like me.

The person who saw me getting arrested by the guards— I erase the memories they have with me on it.

At first, I thought I can't erase memories but with the help of my 'Mind Control' and 'Spirit Domination' from Lucifer, I can erase and control their memories. 

And after having a bad effect, I used Peace Alleviation to remove that.

For now, as I stepped out of the hall, and removed my strings to them, I learned my lesson very well.

"My skill is dangerous. I might end up in hell."

Now then, in every game, even in a MMORPG, there's alway a guild hall right? Or some adventurer's guild? 

If this world had, where would that be in this capital?

As I continue my walk to search for an adventurer's hall, and in every glance of every passerby and people I've taken a glance, I can see their status and I haven't encountered someone who had an ultimate skill.

The kids most likely were level 1-2 and for adults that don't have levels, that means they're level 10, the maximum.

Mostly, they only have a Special Skill or a Distinctive Skill and a Common Skill. 

The leader of the small village has an ultimate skill though, but in this capital, I never saw one.

Even the guards, they don't have an ultimate skill. Was it hard to get that skill? Or maybe because I just got lucky I received one.

Also, their class. I haven't seen a puppeteer here like me!
