<hr class="wp-block-separator">\n[Oh, look at what we have right here, it is the same jerk from yesterday!]\n
.\n
Sybilla calls out to the guy from the back of the people who talked to them.\n
Is this what Jannet talks about the rare event Gyaku Nan<sup>1</sup>?⌠I think it is.\n
I can see immediately what Sybilla wants to do though.\n
.\n
[Ah! A-aaaaaaaaah! From yesterdayâŚ.! You guys, run away! This b*tch is bad news!]\n
[Ei, for our C rank adventurer Mokuyari-senpai to say that this girl is bad, just how bad are youâ eh?]\n
[That blond girl and that mage looking silver haired girl kill gigantos! You better all run for your lives!]\n
[Eh? Hey, wai- SO FAST!?]\n
.\n
The man whose hand Emmy has crushed yesterday ran so fast while calling out the other guys which immediately followed him from behind. \n
I watch them run with all their might as I arrive beside Sybilla.\n
.\n
[Oh, so you were eager to punish every pick up attempt like yesterday so theyâll never get close to you again, huh.]\n
[Yeah. There are a lot of men who like to pick up and play with girls around here and some of them aim for tourists.]\n
.\n
Hm. So sheâs planned everything already since the brief exchange between Sybilla and the guy from earlier in the adventurerâs guild. \n
If those guysâ hands got crushed here in the beach instead while they just look like civilians then itâs our reputation that will be in danger. \n
.\n
[âŚHey, RussellâŚ. I am not scary, right?⌠Iâm not as scary as a giganto, right?âŚ.]\n
[How can someone as cute as you be scarier than a giganto. Show me the jerk who tells you so and let me rinse his eyes with recovery magic. Iâll also drain his savings.]\n
.\n
Iâm trying to reassure Emmy but I think she has just gotten worse as she blankly murmurs âCuute⌠He said Iâm cuutteee..eheheâ.\n
.\n
[Way to show how to pick up girls, Russell, afufufu â Ouch!]\n
.\n
Itâs a good thing that I can see right away how this idiot beside me will react which allowed me for a lightning quick chop.\n
People around us are like [UwaaaaâŚ] or worse is [Is this domestic violence? That toxic boyfriendâŚ?] or something like that but this is really unfairâŚ.\n
Donât they know that a single chop is not enough for this girl to behave? Rather, these people donât know that this girl does various things even though she knows herself that it guarantees Iâll give her a chop without hesitation.\n
.\n
Also, you are mistaken on another thing.\n
I am not her boyfriend.\n
.\n
[Anyway, so how is our swimsuit, hm?]\n
.\n
Then again, I took a thorough look at both of them. Respectfully. \n
.\n
Emmy is wearing a two piece of blue and green covered in frills.\n
Looking at her gives me this feeling of something refreshingâŚ\n
.\n
[I think it suits Emmy pretty well. It looks good on you.]\n
[Ehehe⌠I asked Sybilla-san what suits me best and let her choose this for me.]\n
.\n
I was curious how she is comfortable wearing it but it seems this isnât the first time and sheâs already used to it.\n
But I have to say, Sybilla certainly has some good senses in these kinds of things too.\n
.\n
Sybilla on the other hand wears a one piece with a hole in the middle. Itâs a simple swimsuit.\n
Compare to Emmy, Sybillaâs swimsuit has less fabric and⌠as for her figure⌠the difference on how developed her body is is clearly visible.\n
.\n
Whatâs more, heads turn to Sybillaâs direction regardless of gender. \n
Do you still remember that you intend to hide from public attention, oh Goddess of Dusk?\n
.\n
[Sybillaâs suits her as well but I think it attracts too much attention.]\n
.\n
When Sybillaâs chest moves⌠I mean when Sybilla moves, the world seems to stop for an instant and everyone stops moving with all of their attention focused on one single point.\n
.\n
[âŚRussell doesnât really look, huh.]\n
[What so bad about that.]\n
[Donât tell me⌠Itâs what Fredrica-san has certainly said, isnât it? Thereâs nothing bad about it, in fact itâs the best reaction I have gotten so far.]\n
.\n
Thatâs⌠A compliment, right?\n
Putting Sybilla aside, if Fredrica likes it too then⌠Yeah, letâs just take it at face value.\n
.\n
.\n
.\n
[By the wayâŚ]\n
.\n
I check and after confirming that the number of people around us has dwindled, I turn to Sybilla.\n
.\n
[âŚArenât you trying to hide from the believers of the Sun Goddess? Is it really alright for you to get too much attention?]\n
[Ara.]\n
.\n
Sybilla crosses her arms as she looks at me with an expression that seemingly says I just said something strange.\n
.\n
[Listen here, how can you determine a burglar based on how they look?]\n
.\n
âŚItâs been a while since I saw this goddess-like way of speaking of Sybilla. Why is she the one suddenly asking the question and to a completely different direction too.\n
Why a burglar? How is this related?\n
.\n
[âŚSomething like what Eve initially wore which is torn or way really old as they canât buy a new one, I think.]\n
[The correct answer is âthe people who clothe like an associate baronetâ.]\n
.\n
âŚWhat?\n
Associate baronets are quite lacking compared to higher ranking nobles but they are still richer than most commoners. \n
Youâre telling me thatâs how burglars look?\n
.\n
[People who are prudent of their possessions tend to be more wary of those who look like they are lacking money. Then⌠how about to those who look like they do not need any?]\n
[Ah!]\n
.\n
Someone else reacted in surprise beside me. Itâs Emmy.\n
Ofcourse, I am surprised as well in her way of reasoning.\n
.\n
[Even in the royal capital, nobody knows what the emerging nobles look like. Thatâs why I tend to wear clothes similar to the associate barons even when moving in places with few people or backdoor alleys. Nevertheless, the people who saw me did not show signs of being wary as I look like someone who has money⌠The truth is back then I didnât even have a single penny as I used it to buy aristocratic clothes that a real burglar might have been richer than me.]\n
.\n
âŚI see. That indeed can cause a blind spot. \n
Rich people tend to be less wary of those who show outside that they donât need money as they lack the reason to steal from them, huh.\n
.\n
But this kind of information isnât something that only Sybilla can know, right?\n
It sounds convenient so I want to tell Fredrica and Gemma-baa-san as well once we get back in the orphanage.\n
.\n
Then, using the same logic, no one will be able to associate Sybilla to her real identity.\n
The one who should the believers of the Sun Goddess be wary the most, Sybilla the Dusk Goddess.\n
The same thing applies to me who serves the Dusk Goddess and should avoid getting attention to hide the fact that I can use dark magic.\n
.\n
So she is making her move in consideration of these kinds of thingsâŚ\n
.\n
âŚNo, wait⌠This is Sybilla weâre talking about, thoughâŚ?\n
.\n
.\n
[In other words, I am hiding. Standing in the middle of this sandy place surrounded by people taking away their attention, thereâs no one in here that will think that I am someone who is hiding away from something, isnât it?]\n
.\n
Sybilla looks so proud of herself as she puts her hand on her waist.\n
Emmy beside me canât help admiring her muttering âSybilla-san is so smartâ⌠but.\n
.\n
Nowâs the time to get straight to the point.\n
.\n
[Then your real intention is?]\n
[I am serious about half of the things I said. As for the other half, I want to use this swimsuit to get some attention! But if my identity gets discovered then thatâs the time Iâll think how to get past to it, I guess?]\n
.\n
I thought so!\n
Now look at Emmy honestly praising Sybilla earlier, she looks like someone whoâs eaten some dirt.\n
.\n
See? Emmy. This is what Sybilla is really like. \n
Perhaps you can now understand my attitude with Sybilla, right?\n
.\n
.\n
As I look in amazement how Sybilla can still look so proud after telling me her real intentionsâ\n
.\n
[ââKyaaaaaaaaaa!!]\n
.\n
A womanâs scream coming from the beach came into our ears.\n
We look towards each other and after confirming weâre thinking of doing the same thing, we run towards the direction where the scream came from.\n
.\n
What we found something that shouldnât be in here.\n
.\n
[âŚNeedle Rabbit!? In such a place fully crowded of people like this beach!?]\n
.\n
It appeared in front of us along with Sybillaâs scream⌠An existence that shouldnât be in here, a monster.\n
.\n
I am now once again in a situation where I donât know whatâs going on⌠I remember the feeling of helplessness falling into an âunexpectedâ situation. I put my attention not into the monster, but on to the things that lie beyond what brought us into such a situation.\n
.\n
We are supposed to take a break but it seems our new battle has just begun. \n
