Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

'Wait, don't tell me.' Acht's mind halted from functioning for a good 3 seconds as an idea popped into his head. An idea that if it turned out to be true meant that he was in a very huge problem.

He had heard before about tracking devices that could be hidden inside a Human's body without them knowing. However, the thing about these devices is that they refresh every 24 hours.

And seeing how she looked at this tracking device and what she muttered, everything linked together like a perfect puzzle. A catastrophic puzzle.

'Fuck. This is bad. If she sees the tracking device after refreshing then she will totally discover my act.' He thought to himself as he kept his calm front so as to not alert her.

He then started thinking of an idea to get out of this problem without making a fuss. However, that needs him to get out of this elevator in the next couple of minutes.

'What should I do? Even more than that, how long do I still have before the refresh time?' He thought to himself as he looked at his phone.

It showed the time as 11:56 AM. So, he automatically predicted the time of the refresh as 12:00 AM.

Which also means that he only has less than 4 minutes before it refreshes.

"Big sis… What's that?" He asked innocently.

Leislet looked at him confusedly and then responded without thinking much about it.

"Oh, this? This is a device your big sis needs for a task she had to do."

"Can I see it? Please please please." He said while making a cute puppy-like face.

Leislet seemed hesitant at first as she coughed slightly while trying to find a way out of this.

'I won't fucking let you.' He thought as he saw how she fell into his trap and tried to escape.

So, he looked down and started tearing up.

"I'm sorry…hick…I did something bad, right? Hick…hick." He started crying as he rubbed his eyes.

"No! No! You didn't do anything bad at all. Here, you could touch it. But be careful."

"Hick…really?" He answered as he peeked at her with his teary eyes.

"Yes." She nodded her head and handed him the device.

Acht took the device and secretly inspected what was on the screen.

So, as if to prove his own assumptions, there was indeed a map with a red dot in the middle. The place this map was showing is Evernight City and exactly the building where the Melody of Dreams Bar was located.

He was now sure that this tracking device was locating his position.

Then, he moved into the second part of the plan which was the one where he was about to gamble with his luck.

"Big sis? What is that red dot? Don't tell me, is that the enemy you are following? You will beat bad guys?! That's amazing." Acht said as his eyes sparkled as if he was looking at a superhero.

Leislet couldn't find the opportunity to deny his words so she scratched her cheek and said.

"Y-Yes. I am following a bad guy. Really bad guy."

Acht opened his mouth wide in amazement and said.

"Wow! That's amazing! Big sis is a superhero. Wow! Wow!" He shouted as he started jumping recklessly.

His hands also moved along with him. Then, in one second, the device slipped from his hands and flew, hitting the ceiling and then falling down to the ground.

Acht put his hand on his mouth in shock and then said.

"Oops."

"No! What have you done?!" Leislet shouted as she picked up the device with a shocked look.

Her eyes frantically examined the device as if it was her most precious item.

"B-Big sis?" Acht said with a wavering voice like a child who knew he did something really bad.

"You should've been careful. It's a precious item after all."

Acht's eyes watered again and he started crying again.

"I'm soiryyyyy. I am bad!!! Hick hick hick!!! I was excited and and…hick, I threw it by mistake." He cried loudly.

Leislet couldn't blame the kid after seeing him start crying so she patted his head and said.

"It's ok. It's ok. It didn't break so you should stop crying."

Acht heard her words and nodded his head as he wiped his eyes again. However, inside his head, he was having a mental crisis.

'Fuck! Why is it unnecessarily sturdy? What the fuck should I do now?' He thought to himself.

He then took a look at his own phone and it showed 11:59.

Acht's face paled and he thought to himself as he accepted his fate and started thinking of a way to deal with the outcome.

'I am screwed.'

If Leislet turned out to be his enemy then he needed to find a way out of this situation and escape.

Or, if his luck was good, she might be innocent and she could even help him.

However, he wasn't naive enough to rely on that chance no matter how probable it was. He needed to have solid proof that she was not the culprit before he exposes his identity.

'20 seconds left. I am screwed.' He thought with a sigh.

However, at that exact moment, the elevator suddenly lit up again and the door opened revealing a group of men who looked like some kind of technicians.

"We apologize for the inconvenience. This was the first time the elevator broke like this. Please accept our apologies."

Leislet shook her head and said.

"Don't worry about it. We didn't wait much, did-"

She turned around to talk to Acht. But, much to her surprise, he was nowhere to be found.

'Did he leave this quickly?' She thought.

Then, casually, she pulled out the tracking device and opened it.

There, the dot had already changed place and a new location appeared.

'Where is this? Wait…Wait…'

Leislet's heart stopped beating for a second as she stared wide-eyed at the screen. Her whole world started spinning.

Then, like a madman, she blasted past the men and looked around.
