"Sister Suzuki needs to reflect on herself!"

"Huh? Reflection? Introspection what? ”

No matter how much I knocked on the door, there was no sound coming from inside.

I had no choice but to ask the others......

The result is –

No one wants to.

I'm going to sleep on the streets tonight.

"Did they collude? …… But what the hell did I do wrong......"

"This young lady, can you please not stay here? You've been blacklisted from our store. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"It's you, Miss Mio, who complained to us."

The waiter at the hotel kindly kicked me out of the hotel.

"Vivien!"

Money, I need a lot of money!

I found out how much I needed something like this!

Hum! I'm not welcome, so I'll go play alone!

It's rare to be alone...... First, let's take a look at the underground arena.

I followed the map to the entrance to the underground arena.

At the entrance stood two tall, stout men, who looked indistinguishable from bullies.

"Stop!"

Sure enough, I was stopped by them.

"That...... Is there anything you want me to do? ”

Belch! It's scary, I'm not going to be beaten by them, am I?

"Children are not allowed in this kind of place."

"I'm not a child!"

"Then please take out the proof."

Prove? Does it refer to an ID card?

"I don't have ......"

"What...... It turned out to be a black household. Little girl, a word of advice for you, it's best to get an ID card, even if it's a fake, otherwise you won't survive here. ”

Hey? Isn't this guy a bad guy? Is it true that you can't judge a person by their appearance......

"That'...... Where can I get it? ”

"There will be people on the black market who will be willing to help you."

"That's right...... Thank you! ”

"You're welcome, let's go."

He smiled and waved goodbye to me.

What kind people!

It seems that my first priority is to get an ID card.

Without hesitation, I dialed Yukona's number.

"Look at the top of your head, 3, 2, 1."

Crown?

I looked up - I didn't see anything.

Whoosh –

A card fell from the top of my head and plunged into the ground where I was standing.

"Yikes! …… Scared me. ”

I pulled the card out of the ground, and it was exactly the same as the ID card Vivien had shown me.

Yukona, this guy knows I'm looking for her...... Sure enough, my thoughts were still being listened to by her!

I tried to get Yukona to theorize, but the call was already hung up.

Damn it!

I should be able to go to the arena now! But if I'm going back so soon, will it make them suspicious...... I'll wait before I go.

The man mentioned the black market again, so why don't I go there and have a look.

After putting away my ID, I followed the map and headed to the black market.

The black market here is somewhat similar to the flea market I've come across before, and it's said that the black market isn't illegal here. So the black market here looks extraordinarily lively, even more than the real market.

"That's a lot of stuff......"

Faced with a dazzling array of goods, I don't even know what to sigh about.

What a handsome sword! And this armor!

"Little girl, do you like it? It only costs 200,000 gold coins per piece. ”

"No, no......"

It was a mistake for a poor ghost like me to come here......

"It's okay, we can still negotiate the price."

"No, not really."

I wasn't very good at dealing with the overly enthusiastic clerk and fled in a hurry.

"Whew...... Escaped ......"

"May I introduce myself, this beautiful young lady?"

Pick-up? Luckily, this doesn't happen to me as a child.

Where do you go next?

"I said this young lady, can you get back to me a little bit."

A very handsome man appeared in front of me, and there shouldn't be any girl who doesn't like such a handsome boy......

"Are you talking about me?"

"Yes, beautiful young lady, please allow me to introduce myself."

"......"

"My name is Kitano......"

Boom –

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the sound of an explosion in the market.

"Run!"

"There's a bomb!"

Boom –

Explosions rang out again in the market.

What the hell is going on?

"This young lady, I think we have to say goodbye, you should run away quickly."

"Oh......"

For some reason, I always felt that there was something about him that made me feel inexplicably unhappy.

Instead of fleeing with the fleeing people, he ran towards the center of the explosion.

Huh? Won't he run away?

Wouldn't it be better for me not to interfere......

Boom –

There was an explosion in a shop in front of me.

The flames from the explosion instantly engulfed his figure, blocking my path to enter.

I had to give up and carefully follow the fleeing people.

"Who made the ......?"

"My goods! That's 10 million gold coins! ”

"Mine is gone!"

"Me too!"

"Who the hell did it?"

The fleeing merchants complained angrily.

But no one saw who did it.

Is the person doing this to get something on the black market...... I think that's very likely.

"Everybody, get out of the way!"

It's the army coming.

The soldiers were followed by some people in white robes, and judging by their dress, they should be magicians.

The next second, my suspicion was confirmed, and the white-robed magicians chanted water magic, quickly extinguishing the roaring flames.

"Quick! Let's take a look at the people who are not hurt! ”

As soon as the soldiers received the order, they ran into the ruins of the black market to look for survivors.

Then there was the group of merchants, who rushed in with all their might, but their shops were completely gone, including their goods, of course.

"Damn! That's all I have! ”

"I'm going to kill him!"

The disappearance of the cargo further confirmed my suspicions.

"Report to your lordship, no one was injured or killed!"

"You're doing a good job of counting the losses of the merchants."

"Yes!"

No casualties? That...... Where did that Kitano or something go? There's only one way to get here......

Could it be that he had something to do with this incident?

I'll just say why it's a little strange to look at him.

"Little girl, you're not a merchant here, are you?"

A soldier came up to me, presumably to count the damage.

"Well, I'm not."

"Then you didn't get hurt, did you?"

"Well, I'm fine."

"Then go home quickly, don't let your parents worry."

Thank you so much for your concern, but I'm really not a kid!

"Huh...... I know. ”

Anyway, let's get out of here first.
