Although there weren't many lights in the night steel city at night, there were quite a few bars with lights on the streets.

Along the way, we encountered quite a few guys lying on the side of the road or wanting to cause trouble for us, but I just froze them for a bit and let them wake up.

However, the location of these bars quickly allowed me to locate the possible location of the black market. After taking a look at the small map and comparing it with the location where people with titles appeared, the entrance to the black market is...

...

Why is it a toy store?

Looking at the somewhat dim toy store in front of me, I turned to look at Oyado and the others.

"It seems that the entrance should be somewhere around here. If we use this thing..."

I took out the device I used before to absorb magic and installed it on the window of the toy store.

"Alright, let's go in."

I pressed the start button, and the device flashed. The originally dim toy store suddenly lit up, and the window next to the toy store turned into a door.

So it is really a magical barrier? Well, if we know the entrance, we can even cross the barrier directly.

However, for people like us who don't know the location, we can only resort to a frontal assault.

It's not exactly a good situation... I wonder what those who really consider this store as a toy store would do.

But in such a gloomy and secluded place, there shouldn't be anyone coming here to buy toys, right?

I pushed open the hidden door, and a passage leading to the underground appeared before me.

I turned back and looked at the others. Their eyes were full of anticipation, but I didn't know what they were expecting.

"It's not a problem if we damage the disguise at the entrance, right?"

Chilia asked cautiously.

"No problem."

I waved the equipment I had already retracted in my hand.

"They would just think that the device at the entrance has run out of energy. Don't worry."

"Is that so? That's good then."

"It's better if you put on your cloak properly. Otherwise, if those guys catch sight of your ears, we'll probably have to bring in Mr. Gabriel to erase their memories."

"Oh, I see."

After listening, Chilia adjusted her cloak.

I smiled and said, "But you don't have to be overly cautious. After all, we're here to cause a ruckus."

"That's right! Cause a ruckus!"

Aliyah smiled excitedly.

"Don't go overboard though. I don't want to become some sort of wanted person set by a mafia boss."

After speaking, I pressed the quick-change button. My magical formalwear suddenly turned into a set of black assassin's armor, with a mask on my face.

"Oh, I like this kind of outfit too!"

After saying that, Aliyah smiled slightly, and her clothes turned into a deep red armor.

"What's the difference from usual?"

"What do you mean, no difference!?"

With a click, the armor behind her stretched forward and snapped onto her head, while the side armor blocked her face directly.

"What the hell, is that a Gundam equipment?"

"No, it's a special armor that I asked Ms. Mary to make. After all, if it was a helmet, it would be inconvenient to wear, and I couldn't find a place to put it away."

"Alright, alright, Oyado..."

I had just turned around when Oyado disappeared.

"Don't worry about my brother," said Oyado, appearing suddenly on my right side. "No one can see me." With that, she stepped back and disappeared from sight. Truly, she had the grace of an assassin... I shrugged and continued walking down.

As I continued, the stairs seemed to transform into a metallic structure, with light visible below. After some more walking, we arrived at an underground trading post that resembled a grocery market. As we entered, a burly guard at the door glanced at us but said nothing. Despite his title as a guard, he didn't seem very responsible. Well, that's a good thing in this case.

However, this gloomy place seemed like it would be difficult to find what we were looking for. "Should we split up or search together?" I asked. "Let's split up for efficiency," Aliyah replied, heading towards the left. This girl definitely wanted to buy something strange. I chuckled and warned Chiaria, "Let's go, just don't get lost in here." "Okay," she nodded.

At the same time, I activated the communication device. "Ms. Mary, where are you now?" "We're... currently being interrogated," came the pause-filled response. "Huh?" "Literally, being interrogated by the people who kidnapped us," she clarified. My goodness, then why did you call me? Am I supposed to whip them for you? "Where are you located?" I asked. "Oh, there's a hollowed-out wall on the left side, where I'll have Hei Luoli wait to meet you," she explained. "Alright..." Seems like we were late again and the job was already taken. But at least we managed to complete the task.

"Chiaria, let's go, I know the location... huh, Chiaria?" I turned and she was nowhere to be found. "What the hell, did she get kidnapped too?" I immediately checked the mini-map and saw her sprinting towards the opposite end of the black market. What was she planning to do? It seemed like she was running away by herself. "You guys have fun with them for a bit, I have something to take care of and might be a little delayed," I messaged Ms. Mary. "No rush at all, we're in no hurry," came Ms. Mary's calm response. After receiving the nonchalant reply, I chuckled and chased after Chiaria.
