Becoming more careful, Kisuke watches from the sidelines. Although it's inefficient as he could only focus on a few conversations, it's a lot better than attracting those curious beings.
After listening and watching for an hour, Kisuke had enough and thought of walking down the street on his own, 'I just have to pretend I'm deaf or some snob prick, ignoring everyone.'
But before that, he looked around and spotted what he needs. Grinning to himself, Kisuke started walking in front of two individuals and 'accidentally' flashed a golden ring with a purple gem on his finger before turning around in a quiet alley.
The two men in armor saw his ring and looked at each other before flashing a greedy smile and following Kisuke at the dark alley.
'I didn't think it would be this easy... Could it be that they don't know that there are very strong people hiding in this crowd? Or are they famous or something that someone unknown like me couldn't be that strong?' Kisuke thought as he walks deeper into the alley.
A minute later, the two men following him became impatient and one of them suddenly ran with inhuman speed and arrived before Kisuke.
"**** *** **** **" He tried to say something when Kisuke stopped his steps and of course, he didn't understand a single thing he said.
Kisuke looked behind him and saw the second man grinning at him saying something. And after a minute of talking and not gaining any response, both of them got incredibly angry and attacked Kisuke.
Another minute later, Kisuke walked out of the dark alley, reaching the main street as if nothing happened. However, the two men who attacked Kisuke were crying their eyes out as he left them with only their underwear. Their clothes are good samples for his microbiome research.
He then searched the clothes and found a pouch with bronze coins and few silver coins in it. He didn't know how much it is but he watches others buy all sorts of things on the stalls.
He then put all the clothes on the pre-treated pouch that he bought leaving only a few bronze coins in his hands. Kisuke then approached one of the stalls selling some skewered meat. He grabbed a few of the merchandise before tossing the appropriate amount of money, entirely ignoring the vendor. Kisuke started eating one of them and tossed the rest inside the pouch.
Just as he's enjoying the atmosphere while looking around and listening to everyone, Kisuke suddenly felt a piercing stare and shuddered.
Tracing this invasive stare, Kisuke hurriedly looked towards the tower and locked eyes with a very beautiful woman with long silver hair and purple eyes sitting on an elegant chair looking. Same as Kisuke, The incredibly beautiful woman is also staring at Kisuke wide eye.
'Crap!' Kisuke shifted through the crowd and entered one of the alleys before using Flash Step, taking care not to leak any of his Reiatsu-Ki and left the place, 'What the heck! Someone who could see the soul directly is bad news!' Not waiting for anything, Kisuke retreated and exited the city and arrived where he hid his bag pack. He took his things and ran away from the city.

On the upper floors of the Tower of Babel, a Goddess is looking over the town of Orario which became a habit for her. It was a normal night looking at the crowd of souls while drinking her favorite wine and planning for the future of her Familia until she saw a bright crimson light drowning every soul around it with its own radiance.
Freya was shocked and tried to look at this soul more closely, but before she could do saw, she was shocked yet again when she saw him looking at her with the same discerning eyes.
Before she could react, however, the crimson radiance instantly disappeared like it was never there in the first place. She tried to look for it again but failed and figured that it already hid.
Her shocked face then turned into an amused smile, "An interesting individual appeared after the 'gold'. Ottar, look for this amusing person. He should be pretty strong but relatively unknown. I want him."
From behind her, a tall and muscular man with rust-colored hair and eyes along with a pair of boar ears appeared. He wears a dark blue sleeveless top with a collar like part, grey pants, and brown and gray shoes.
With a seemingly uninterested tone in his voice, he answered, "Yes, Freya-sama." Ottar left the room leaving his Goddess behind.

Kisuke stopped moving when he's about ten kilometers away from the city and decided to camp for today. His camp, however, isn't composed of tent our any outdoor equipment as he took out a red pearl with some inscriptions on its surface.
He tossed the pearl away and when it landed on the ground, it submerged as if it's on water. After a few seconds, Kisuke heard a small explosion from the underground and dug through the place where the pearl disappeared.
Thirty meters below the ground, a room with about 50x50x50 meters was instantly made, making it his makeshift hideout and personal room.
He then locked the place with magic which stops fluctuation of his Reiatsu-Ki leaking. After that, he pulled out the necessary items from his dimensional storage. He doesn't plan to sleep tonight as he has a lot of data to arrange and decode. He hopes that when he returned to the city tomorrow, he could understand some of its inhabitants' words.

The next day, Kisuke only got ready to go into the city again when it's already afternoon. What took most of his time are examining the clothes of the two people who kindly gave him their clothes and the countermeasure against that rude perverted lady with a peeping hobby.
"Yosh~! Let's try it again today! I hope I can somehow speak their language tomorrow." Kisuke pumped himself up. Although if someone were to hear him right now, they would want to spit on him as he's trying to learn an unknown language with little to no reference in just a few days.
"Though I wonder how much that lady saw? I did cover my soul from prying eyes but she was still able to go through it without any trouble, but I guess she couldn't have seen the deepest part of my soul. If she did, that probably won't be her only reaction since she'll also able to see the Hougyoku, the Hollow, and the Shinigami part of me..." Kisuke thought to himself as he exited his hideout.
