“…”
Seeing the portrait raised before him, Shien tightly wrinkled his brow and didn’t say a thing.
The man facing him watched Shien coldly.
“You’ve seen this person, right?”
That person asked again.
“And who might you be?’
Shien ignored the other person’s question, and instead asked that.
Who knew that the other side ignored Shien’s question too.
“You, have seen this person, right?”
The man’s voice became even colder than it was before.
That made Shien narrow his eyes further. His mood also begun dropping.
The other person’s attitude was obviously one that looked down on Shien, or rather, one that looked down on everyone. Something like “Do as I like, for I stand above all.”
And yet, the other person didn’t do so because they were prideful or arrogant. He only showed that attitude because he simply hates everything around.
That is to say, the other person looked down on Shien not because he though he was great, but rather because he didn’t want to dirty his own eyes with what he hated.
That, would seriously piss someone off.
“If I said I haven’t seen, what would you think?”
With that, Shien crossed his armed and said that while staring at the other person.
“You have seen.” The man didn’t change his expression and spoke calmly, “You have remnants of her magic power on you, so either you’ve made close contact with her or you’ve had a battle with her. And it would also have been recent.”
It must have been for that reason that the person ended up willing to stop and converse with Shien, right?
That sentence “Was it you?” at the start, should actually have the meaning of “Was it you who she had made contact with here?”
Shien didn’t particularly care to hide it either.
“Indeed, I did have a fight with her.” Shien nodded in admission while grinning, “But, so what?”
To that question, that man only had one word.
“Where?”
The man dove right into the main issue.
“How would I know?”
Shien, even more directly, tossed such a response back.
“Don’t know?” The man gazed coldly at Shien, “There’s no way you wouldn’t know.”
“Is that so?” Shien provoked, “And what makes you say that I must know?”
The man suddenly fell silent, only his gaze and expression have become more and more impatient.
“Where. Is. She?”
The man’s attitude was no longer merely of hatred. It has mixed with it warning and killing intent.
From the [Magic Detection] skill, Shien could feel it. The other person had already started calling up his magic power.
In other words, that person could start attacking at any moment.
Facing such a situation, Shien only had one thing he wanted to say.
“At your grandma’s.”
Thus, Shien politely inquired as to the other person’s family.
The other went silent again.
However, the surrounding atmosphere started becoming heavier.
The man stared at Shien intently, as if considering whether or not to attack.
Shien just continued to maintain his smile, although there was not a hint of it truly reflected in his eyes. He similarly looked as if he was considering whether or not to attack.
After all, Shien just disliked trouble. He didn’t actually fear it.
If they want to argue, Shien could cuss like a sailor.
If they want to fight, Shien wouldn’t hold back one bit.
He still wanted to test out the effects of [Magic Sword] after all, if that poser dared to act, then Shien would be happy to let him know just what the consequences of that are.
Of course, Shien felt like the higher probability is that the fight wouldn’t end up happening.
Never mind the fact that they were currently in town. If they dared to fight on the streets, it might end up an issue that draws the knights over. If the other person’s goals were actually searching for someone, this could easily end up alerting his prey.
If things ended up going loud and the target was scared away, then that really wouldn’t be worth it.
Therefore, this fight probably wouldn’t actually happen.
As expected.
