Ā Ā Ā Ā This place was bothersome, if he was being honest. It was true that the matter of that strange cat-eared assassin was still present back in Ishana, but to be frank, he almost preferred it to this place. There was this sense that he wasĀ ācagedā, here, that nothing was truly predictable. Even though nothing had happened yet, he felt as though the moment he set foot in here, the life he knew before this city would never be returned.
Ā Ā Ā Ā That thought was sealed when he came across someone whom he almost didnāt recognize at first.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Though she did not wear the uniform of the Mageās Academy anymore, the piercing gaze he received was unmistakable. Everything else, however, made it seem like he was looking upon a phantom reflection of that person.
āNine-san? You were brought here, too?ā He said the name like he wasnāt sure he was talking to her.Ā āWeāre approaching the season, but isnāt it a bit soon to dress for Halloween...?āĀ
Ā Ā Ā Ā Kazuma could only let out an insincere dry laugh at his own comment, which he quickly silenced for fear of his life. He heard that humor was a good way to defuse tense situations. Though he felt like in his haste to try and do so, he may have just foolishly lit the fuse.
