Suddenly.
I feel like having a space ring is such a great thing.
These people can stuff as much stuff as they want into the ring, it's amazing.
Only Pure White is standing behind me, lacking knowledge and desire for shopping. Though she looks like a young girl on the surface, she really lacks everything else about being a girl.
I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Although Loyce isn't as fervent as Aliyah, seeing Aliyah's appearance, Loyce unconsciously starts shopping like crazy with them.
Oyado?
She learned what it means to shop like crazy in less than a minute, after all...
I think I gave her 1000 gold coins as pocket money before...
Oh well, it doesn't matter.
But that's not the most important issue.
What's important is this group of people going on a shopping spree, one cuter than the next. They might be mistaken as a group of young ladies from some important family going out to shop.
And Pure White and I...
We will probably be mistaken as bodyguards or something, right? There's nothing I can do, I forgot to cover up the mark of the Shikigami on Pure White's arm.
I probably look like what's popular in the Eastern Continent right now, an occupation called an Onmyoji bodyguard.
The occupation of Onmyoji is typically hereditary in the Eastern Continent, which means... this occupation is basically innate.
But that's also the problem, because some people don't want to stay at home and be an Onmyoji for their whole lives, there are more and more Onmyoji who have started working as bodyguards, escorts, and assassins.
Well, that's only natural, after all, Onmyoji and Taoists are considered mages in the Eastern Continent. Although those wandering cultivators also use different elemental attacks, they specialize in something else.
The details of this will probably be explained more thoroughly at their academy, but for now, what needs to be dealt with are the people whose names keep turning red around us.
Ah, how annoying. Why do these people always have to seek death? I was planning to be a law-abiding and kind citizen.
No, wait. Self-defense shouldn't be considered illegal, right?
Well, that would be great.
"Aliyah, Oyado..."
"I know, I can see those people."
I glance at Aliyah next to me. She continues to look at the clothes in front of her.
"Yeah, brother, the killing intent from those people really gets my blood boiling. We should find a place to kill them all, shouldn't we?"
"Ah, you two really... How can we, such upright individuals, do something like dragging someone into a side alley and killing them?"
"You're saying that, have you not done it before?"
"Of course not, I always kill the enemy face to face..."
I shouldn't be wrong, right? I probably didn't remember wrongly, right?
"Okay, even if you haven't, what do you plan to do?"
"Well, about that..."
I scroll through my skills and choose a warrior skill I learned a long time ago.
【Provoke】
Decrease the opponent's rationality by 50%, causing them to attack you.
I just activated the skill, and a red circle emerges from my body, slowly spreading out like ripples in water!
"Hand over the money!"
"Hey! How dare you cut in line!"
Suddenly, a thief dashed out from the crowd and aimed his blade directly at my back.
Why did I see it coming?
Because this guy was too slow, so I turned around as soon as I noticed the warning and caught sight of his movement.
Just to clarify, it seemed that these guys' levels were all between 10 and 20, completely...
lacking in challenge!
I reached out and grabbed the hand holding the knife, then flung him aside, smashing him against the wall!
After witnessing my action, the people around us, who had raised their weapons, all stopped and encircled us.
"Hey hey hey! You idiot! Can't you just let yourself be stabbed? Look, they don't dare attack us now!"
Aliyah complained while she tucked her clothes into her ring, then drew out her dual swords.
Isn't it risky to steal so openly like this?
"Don't worry, big brother. I'll wipe them out in an instant!"
"Hold on, Oyado. Let me say this. Why are you guys trying to rob us for no reason? And if you're going to rob us, do it quickly, or else we'll be bored."
"It's you guys who are arrogant! You're the ones being robbed, for crying out loud!"
One of the warriors suddenly shouted loudly.
"Although I don't know why we suddenly got surrounded, but you guys, who are about to be robbed as well... "
"Enough with the nonsense... Tundra Devourer!"
I spread my hands, and a wave of freezing air instantly froze them all.
The surrounding civilians fled, and since there were no teammates harmed...
This skill is really convenient.
"What should we do now that you've frozen them?"
"Hmm..."
I pondered for a moment, then said,
"Let's move to the other side of the city and encounter another batch of them?"
