Jabbar residence, Solmare.
After seeing Kansley Bentam and his group move away from the gate of his house. Jabbar went back into the house, immediately walked towards his office.
Inside there was a giant mirror with a height of two and a half meters and a width of about one and a half meters.
Jabbar immediately stood in front of the mirror. Seeing his own reflection. His expression was serious. He then called out a name.
"Aura."
Jabbar's reflection instantly squirmed into an unkempt form before finally, gradually forming a figure of a beautiful young woman wearing a black dress, pale skin, white hair with a pair of fiery red eyes.
The woman named Aura smiled broadly, showing her teeth which were sharp fangs like shark teeth.
Seeing the figure appear, Jabbar's heart suddenly stopped. No matter how many times he communicated with Aura, he still couldn't get used to dealing with this one.
Although Jabbar had never seen Aura fight. But he knew very well that the woman in front of him was a very dangerous. From the first meeting, he could already see Aura's eyes always looking down on him.
Fortunately, Aura is a figure sealed in a mirror and can only obey Jabbar's words as its owner. Otherwise, his life might have been lost.
"I thought you were dead Jabbar. Looks like the Goddess of Luck is still with you, what a shame."
Said Aura showing a look of disappointment.
Jabbar frowned, "I've been locked up there for more than a week, didn't you try to find me?"
"Who says I didn't? At your wife's request I mustered my best to find you. But… were you locked up in a place with a mirror?"
"..."
Jabbar fell silent for a moment. How could a rickety bandit base have a mirror? Only those in the upper classes have such a luxurious thing!
"Sigh… never mind, it's over already. My request earlier, have you done it?"
"Hmm, what request...?"
"Aura."
"Hahaha, see how serious your face is? Amusing to see you like this."
"..."
"Well, first of all… during the meeting earlier, when you called the guards to tighten the security around the guest room. One of Kansley's men infiltrated and searched the entire residence."
Hearing this, Jabbar's forehead frowned.
"What does he want?"
Aura shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. The person seemed to be looking for something. However, it seems that he did not get what he wanted. Give me time to check all the mirrors in Solmare. Maybe I can find out what Kansley and his men are after."
"Yes, do that. Just let me know when you find something suspicious."
"Okay~ ah, but don't forget the pay. To use my power use so much energy~"
"I know. I will tell the maid to prepare the blood tonight."
***
Solmare open market.
In the middle of a busy market. A man walked down the street crowded with hundreds of people with ease.
He walked as if there was no obstacle at all. The people around him subconsciously avoided his body. So that the man does not feel the jostling of the market.
Not only that, the people who passed by didn't seem aware of the man's presence.
The man was like an illusion but real. A few people had noticed, glanced back as they passed the man, but they found nothing there. They just assume that their eyes see wrong.
The man walked leisurely. Looking here and there, witnessing the bustling atmosphere of the market. Seeing people fighting price, bargaining with sellers. Some are disappointed, some are happy.
All of that was really interesting in his eyes. He had absolutely no interest in trading. He was only interested in seeing the many behaviors of the human in front of him.
"Hey, Young Master. Your face is so handsome, with clothes that are trendy in this capital, I guarantee that your good looks will increase even further. How about it, Young Master? Interested in buying it?"
When the man was busy walking, watching the various emotional expressions in the market, suddenly a woman's voice called out to him.
The man's feet suddenly stopped. He glanced to his left, at a stall selling clothes as well as Redscale fruit. A combination of merchandise that is quite unique.
He then turned to a woman with curly brown hair who was looking at him with a big smile while showing a suit in her hand.
One eye of the woman was covered by an eye patch. Making the man frown even more with the situation he is currently in.
"Are you talking to me?" asked the man.
"Huh? Of course, who else would it be if not you, Young Master? To the ghosts? Hahaha, this Young Master likes to joke around huh… how about it, Young Master? Look at this suit, with your face and posture, this dress will fit perfectly. You will look more masculine and become the idol of women!"
"You can see me?"
"...?"
The saleswoman who turned out to be Rosalina immediately frowned.
'What is this person talking about? Of course I can see you! You think I'm blind?!'
Rosalina as well the man has a dark face. He looked at Rosalina's figure with a surprised expression.
He glanced to the right and left. The people passed past him and didn't feel his presence at all.
'So, how can this woman?'
The man squinted, trying to sense the level of strength of the woman in front of him. But in the end, he realized that the woman was far below his level. A figure that wasn't a threat at all and he didn't need to care about.
The man and woman stared at each other in silence. Each one is busy with his and her own thoughts.
'Why is this person still staring at me? Ah~ it must be because of my plump chest! Hmph, dirty man!'
Thought Rosalina who immediately covered her chest with the clothes in hand.
Not far from the two people who were staring at each other. A small elf who selling fruit, watched the behavior of the two people beside her with her mouth hanging open.
'Eh? Ehhh? Since when has this man been here?!'
Metis, who was surprised because she didn't hear Rosalina's voice. Turning to her older sister, she found the woman was silent with an unruly expression.
When Metis wanted to see the figure Rosalina was looking at, at first she didn't find anyone. So she glanced back at Rosalina then back into the place in front of the stall.
It was only then that she was surprised when found a man standing in front of their stall.
She really had not felt the presence of this man at all! Metis froze, she had a bad feeling about the man in front of her.
Swallowing saliva, Metis slowly drew closer to Rosalina. She grabbed the hem of Rosalina's shirt, pulled it and hid behind the woman's back.
Rosalina, who felt Metis' pull, wondered about the little girl's reaction. She could feel the shaking of the tiny hand gripping the hem of her shirt.
Rosalina frowning, she turned to the man.
"Hey, you! If you have no intention of buying, don't get in our way! You're blocking customers from coming!"
"..."
The man glanced at the little girl hiding behind the back of the woman who was scolding him.
Have to say, the little girl's reaction was normal because he had seen it several times. So it's the reaction that should be supposed to happen. It's just... this one-eyed woman...
'Is it because she only has one eye? Is that the reason she can see me? No, it's impossible.'
"Hey, bro! What do you want?! Are you here to disrupt people's business?!"
'Bro?'
Rosalina raised her voice, causing several people around to glance at her.
Those people had the same reaction as Metis. Surprised and stunned when they found that there was a man near them.
The man who was now the center of attention began to feel uncomfortable. He immediately let out a smile, raised his hands and said that he had no intention of interfering with Rosalina's business.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm not interested in the clothes you offer, but this Redscale fruit looks delicious. Give me ten."
Rosalina watched for a moment the man in front of her. Then move to put the fruit into a cloth bag.
When she wanted to hand over the bag of fruit. Suddenly a blue-haired woman wearing a robe and hood appeared beside the man.
"!"
Both Rosalina and the woman were both surprised. The woman was surprised because her presence could be known by someone other than her master.
Quickly, she immediately moved in front of her master while taking out a knife.
"Who are you? What do you want from Master Mercury?!"
"Hah?!"
Rosalina and the people around were instantly stunned.
'From where does this madman come from?!'
When everyone was silent because they did not understand the situation that was happening. The man who was called Master Mercury by the blue-haired girl touched his subordinate's shoulder.
"Put down your weapon. Look around you."
The woman, looking around, was surprised because many pairs of eyes witnessed her action.
'How can they see us?! My Stealth Skill is maxed!'
Master Mercury stepped forward. Taking the fruit bag in Rosalina's hand. Giving one gold coin while saying.
"Sorry, my guard is too overprotective."
He said as he walked away with his subordinate. After the pair were ten meters away. Instantly the air of his presence disappeared.
The people around did not see the figure anymore, they even seemed to forget the existence of the man. Likewise with Metis who was momentarily confused.
Only, Rosalina is different. She was still watching the two of them walking smoothly and miraculously. The people who should have bumped into them, subconsciously walked over to avoid them.
"Oh, Sister! That man?!"
Rosalina watched Metis' expression for a moment. The little elf seems to realize that something strange just happened.
"Relax, Metis. They're gone. Sigh… there are still two hours before night, let's get back to business."
"Hm! Okay!"
After Metis returned to her place. Rosalina muttered while opening her system panel.
"Are you awake, Theo?"
