098. Are we being besieged by some strange order?(1/2)

This is a group of four people, two small guys who are obviously not adults and two big guys who are very tall compared to adults.

Moreover, based on the formation, it can be inferred that the team is led by two small men walking in the front.

When they entered the increasingly crowded urban area, they attracted all kinds of eyes from all directions, not only because of their height combination, but also because of their clothes.

These four people all covered themselves in long black cloaks with hoods in the broad daylight, which was not very cold.

This kind of attire is particularly eye-catching in this modern technological city, so much so that it has become the focus of passers-by.

So under this situation, one of the taller little men said to the other little man who was walking in front of him to clear the way:

"Giss, do we need to dress up in such eye-catching clothes?

No matter how hard I try, this is too embarrassing."

"Illya, let me tell you this.

Before confirming whether the smart civilization in this city belongs to humans, and if so, what kind of civilization it is, it is a very unwise act to reveal one's appearance and dress.

So a cloak is the most suitable outfit.

According to the countless fantasy works I have read, in every world there are more or less idiots and poseurs who like to show off in cloaks."

"...I can't even refute it, you win.

But you should have figured it out by now, right?

This familiar language and the style of this city seem to me similar to the style of the previous world?"

"To be precise, it should be the neon Tokyo area of ​​the early 20th century.

The place where we landed is where the main threads of fate I chose intersect, in other words, where the plot takes place.

And if you know that the plot takes place in Japan, plus those disgusting monsters, those black monoliths and the island-like urban civilization...

I can already roughly guess what happened, after all, Neon’s works are usually of this urinary nature.

There must have been some kind of disaster on the earth, and those monsters that are very powerful for this low-level civilization and have extraordinary physical recovery capabilities are the evidence.

The black monolith is their last means of defense.

The fact that they are not connected as a fence shows that the main effect is the long-distance radiation from the black metal material.

And I guess this metal weapon is also a useful weapon against monsters..."

"I'm not asking you this, I just want to say, can we take off this unique cloak now!~"

"...Uh, whatever. Actually, I just wanted to pay homage to various works of a certain point on a whim. With our combat capabilities, we are not afraid of trouble."

"Huh, when everyone in school wears cloaks, there aren't that many people who don't have any problem wearing hoods.

It's obviously too shameful, okay?

We are not the non-mainstream of the previous era like the Death Eaters. Giss, you want to..."

Just when Illya took off her hood and was about to count the unnecessary things in the stars, a figure even more petite than Illya suddenly emerged from the crowd in front of her.

It was as if someone was chasing her behind her. As the figure ran anxiously, she didn't notice that Illya was focused on the road ahead, and bumped into it.

However, because Blitzcrank and Suzaku reacted appropriately, the two people who collided did not fall or be injured.

At the door of a certain store in the distance, a shout of "The thief has been caught!~" was heard at the right time.

It was because of such shouts that Xingji, whose mind was racing, noticed the specific situation here.

The person who collided with Illya was a little girl dressed in rags, with long messy black hair, and a face covered with dust.

Xing Ji looked at the little girl dressed like a beggar, with a body so thin that she looked less than ten years old. There was still a look of fear in her facial expression and wide-open crimson eyes. There were some bread and cans scattered on the ground.

Same food.

It was obvious that she was a poor little girl who had just stolen food, and she was more likely an orphan without parents.

Xingke was a little confused. Are there still such people in this twentieth-century city?

But he felt relieved in an instant. After an apocalyptic disaster, it was not unthinkable that there would be some orphan groups in an isolated island city like a refuge.

It's really pitiful. The pursuers behind you may be coming soon, right?

If Ilya hadn't been bumped into and held back, her plan to escape by stealing food might have been successful.

What bad luck...

She will definitely be beaten after being caught up, right? After all, the value of food after the disaster is conceivable. It is definitely no less than during any war.

However, as a self-proclaimed good person who is reliable and not bound by rules, Xingji decided... to let Illya take responsibility.

"Illya, go and help her.

You see, it is really pitiful to be forced to become a thief at such a young age.

With great difficulty

Just because you blocked her way, maybe she won't be hungry tonight.

Look at the bones that have shrunk due to hunger, the thin body..."

Ilia, who was a little annoyed by what Xingke said, decisively interrupted Xingke and continued:

"Okay, stop talking, I'm going, I'm going...make it sound like I'm so cold-blooded."

"Look after you."

So when passers-by gradually started to become curious, Illya stepped forward and spoke to the little girl who began to anxiously bend down to pick up the food scattered on the ground:

"Little sister, are you okay?"

The little girl didn't seem to expect that someone would talk to her, and her body froze for a moment.

The little girl slowly raised her head and looked at Ilia in front of her in horror with her crimson eyes.

Perhaps the girl's appearance made her feel at ease, so she slowly said:

"Yes...I'm sorry...I'm sorry."

Looking at her frightened eyes and listening to her trembling weak whispers, Illya felt heartache for no reason.

Whether in England or in the neon world of the previous world, this was the first time she had seen an instance of war orphans as a member of a branch of the German aristocracy.

Illya tried her best to keep smiling and gentle, and continued to communicate with the restless little girl:

"It's okay, is there anything I can do for you?"

At this time, a young man dressed as a convenience store clerk and a middle-aged man who looked strong pushed through the crowd and rushed forward, shouting:

"Get her quickly!"

"Everyone, catch that thief quickly, she is a monster in the peripheral area!~"

Angry words like that.

Then the middle-aged man running in front grabbed the little girl's slender shoulders very roughly and violently.

Ilia was very dissatisfied with this move, but except for Xingke and the others, none of the surrounding onlookers showed dissatisfaction. Instead, they all left with malicious mockery of gloating or disgust and indifference.

Without time to think about why, Xingke stopped Illya when she was about to pull out the wand, and then gave permission to the two "bodyguards" behind her.

But within this small time difference, they saw a scene that was very anti-Newton and anti-Darwin:

The middle-aged man was pushed away by the little girl's struggle.

But after pushing the middle-aged man away, the little girl's eyes did not show joy, but instead became more filled with despair.

Then, what followed was all kinds of reprimands and insults from the surrounding crowd:

"Monster!~ It's a monster from the outer area!"

"It's a cursed child!"

"Damn it, why is this Tokyo area garbage here?"

"What are the police doing! Why did this kind of garbage get in!"

"Why aren't they all dead yet?"

Not only that, there were even some radical elements among them, ready to swarm them.

What the hell is this?

Although the situation was strange, Blitzcrank and Suzaku stepped forward to stop some radicals from harming the little beggar girl who looked desperate.

After all, they were all ordinary people. After several people were subjected to Suzaku's [Over the Shoulder Throw] and other magical fighting skills, the group of people finally calmed down.

However, he still refused to give up and asked Xing Ke and others:

"Why are you protecting her! She just knocked over our warehouse manager!"

Illya was originally unhappy because she was prevented from using magic by Xingke, so she pushed back dissatisfied:

"What a big deal it is. It also includes medical expenses. I'll help her pay for it. Can't you just let her go?"

"No, a cursed monster like this should not be forgiven! She must pay the price!"

Then this sentence once again ignited the anger of the masses:
To be continued...
