So walking down the streets of Theon is very light on your feet.
"So, are there other stores that will help you pick up the goods?"
"Well, basically there are more Western-style snack shops. I've checked shopping malls and so on. You can also go to bookstores."
"Do you know Sasi likes me~~"
"In terms of preferences, there are basically only three options: eating, sleeping, and reading."
Xion was satisfied with Natsumi's answer, and Haruma's surprised voice came from behind.
In fact, that was Theon's preference, so there was no way to refute it.
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's forget about the bookstore."
"Okay? Maybe I'll have the chance to go to a bookstore in the future. Isn't Xion a fan of paper books?"
Just as Lina was worried, to be honest, I don’t know when I will have such a shopping opportunity in the future.
With this in mind, instead of buying dessert-type food, buy books. This is especially true for Theon who likes paper books.
Theon understands this, of course, but even so, he still wants to prioritize dessert this time, not books.
"Actually, I won't have any trouble about books for the time being."
"Won't it be difficult?"
"Look, isn't there something called tuition in this world?"
Haruma and the four of them couldn't understand the meaning of Xion's words and tilted their heads.
For these four people, Ji, who knew Xion's character best, quietly gave a hint.
"The Procurement Department of the Military Academy offers a 30% discount on books."
"...Is it enough to buy it at a 30% discount?"
"By the way, orphans like me will get cash rebates if they apply."
Although the four people looked a little coldly at Xion who gave a thumbs up, he didn't care. What's wrong with getting what you can get, Theon contends?
"Even so, you can still bring him into the ship, and the inspection must be stricter than other crew members."
"...I didn't say anything either."
"…………ah?"
"…………"
Facing Les's gaze, Theon looked away. Plus deliberate silence.
Generally speaking, as long as you show that you don't want to ask too deeply, the other party will give up, but there is a person present who will not be fooled by this level.
"Would you like to elaborate on this matter?"
Halma grabbed his back-facing head with her left hand, forced Theon's face to face forward, and glared at him from close range.
Although Theon claimed to be a hero of justice, his slightly bloodshot eyes that were completely inconsistent with his image made Theon desperately look away.
"How should I say it? It should be said that it is there but not there, or it is usually not available in the museum, so it would not be said that it was brought in."
"If you explain it carefully again, can I give you a characterization now? Huh?"
"Is this considered evil?!"
Chunma usually wears loose trousers and a T-shirt, with a jacket on top, and his right hand has reached to the inside of the jacket - more specifically, to the clip on the inside of the jacket. middle.
In other words, five seconds before the shot is fired.
"I know! I know, don't take such dangerous things on this road!"
In response to Xion's desperate reaction, Halma judged that he meant to explain well, spoke his left hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
By the way, during this time, Les, Lina, and Natsumi all looked panicked, but Jill yawned without any panic.
This partner, who is a good friend, is well aware of Theon's shortcomings, so as long as he believes that Theon is at fault, he will not defend him.
Anyway, it was not good to stop on the street, so I decided to explain while walking.
"First of all, the luggage I bring into 'Miststan' must have a suitcase."
"...Well, as long as you're on a battleship, it's basically like this."
"But actually all I have...is probably a room the size of ten tatami mats."
"I don't understand you……"
In front of Natsumi's puzzled expression, Xion put his right hand under the hem of his hoodie and took out a hardcover book.
"……Woolen cloth?"
"Take it first."
I handed the book to Natsumi, who spoke a beat late, and then repeated the same action, taking out three books and a tote bag that was just big enough to hold the books, and took out a bottle cap for her to wear.
After watching it so many times, Harujian and the others should be able to detect its true appearance.
"Is this also a supernatural power?"
"The magic of hiding things in the shadows. Because it's so convenient, you can fit anything in there."
As long as the shadow is caused by yourself or something on your body, basically anything can be stored.
If I have to say it, it would be a bit troublesome to put big things in, so I wouldn't recommend it.
"Basically, as long as it's in the shadows, it's hard to say it's been brought into the ship."
"It's totally unreasonable..."
"But this is a fact, and we don't interfere with other people's privacy in the first place. This is within the scope of the contract."
If it is a personal property, it is a private property that is easier to understand. According to the contract, the human army has no right to interfere.
If not, Theon would have done a better job of hiding the magic's presence.
"Let's not talk about this first. It is too dangerous to use magic on such a street..."
"I have used various methods such as obstruction of identification and illusion to hide him. It doesn't matter."
Faced with Lina's worry, she waved in reply, although of course the members except Theon would not understand.
It would be nice if Theon could understand that it would be troublesome to explain, so it would be okay, but that doesn't seem to be the case either.
If you just force it, you really don’t need to explain it, but it’s hard to do.
"It's fire."
As if in reply to his brief words, flames erupted from the palms raised directly above his head.
The bright red flame extended straight upward, forming a three-meter-high fire pillar, scorching the air.
"Theon! What did you say suddenly?!"
"Look around first."
"around……"
Haruma and the others, who looked around at Xion's urging, immediately noticed something unusual and opened their eyes wide.
"Why isn't anyone looking this way?"
Even though the pillar of fire rose from Xion's hand, and even though Haluma and others were making noise when they saw the pillar of fire, no one around them even looked at him.
Just like him who is invisible, everyone is just passing by within a short distance.
"Is this magic that makes people invisible?"
"No, this is a kind of magic that you can see but don't care about, because if you can't see it, you will be discovered."
It's not that people can't see Xion and the others, it's that they don't mind them. Or think of it as part of the landscape. It’s this guided magic.
Although illusions and optical methods were used to get through, they were not used to deal with humans, but to deal with surveillance cameras.
“It was too much of everything, I almost fainted.”
After hearing Xion's explanation, Halma held her head.
Reese and Lina had the same reaction. As mobile armor pilots, they may directly fight with people who use these magics depending on the situation, so they should be careful.
"Things like magic basically don't work on machines, though. I guess just having cameras and sensors will do the trick."
Until a few days ago, the problem of invisible invaders that was the source of trouble for the human army was also due to the fact that the improvement plan of the sensor used by the 13th technical team was not tested a few days ago and was shared through the troops in various parts of the headquarters. Lift.
The magic that Theon used this time to hinder recognition has no effect on machinery at all, and since magic is used, it is very difficult to fool the reactions of sensors.
Although Haruma and the others are very worried, modern science is very effective for people other than humans.
"Don't say that yet! Don't say that yet! Because it's dessert!"
During the conversation, serious words were said, and the atmosphere became a little serious, but instead of wanting this, Xion refused.
"Come on, hurry up! Sister Lightsaber, take me to the nearest store first."
"Ah! Ah, um."
"Hey! Stop talking about you, this is too rash for us..."
"Your job now is to monitor me. Are you thinking about anything complicated?"
Neither the tasks at hand nor the future where such things might actually happen are known.
It was clear who should take priority, Haruma stuttered a little. Even so, before she could flinch, Theon decided to grab Halma's arm and pull her forcefully.
