Kazue POV 

  

  

  

  

""Hahahaha!""  

Having to find the situation funny, I and Calm laughed ourselves out. 

We somehow managed to get inside the city without much problem. 

Well... the guard almost found us out back there. 

Thanks to the gift miss Alicia gave me before, I was able to escape being caught. 

  

  

Then... 

It did not take long for this happy atmosphere to fade. 

"What's so funny?"  

He gave Calm a respectful bow. 

At one glance you could say that this man was paying his respect. 

... That is if you are not aware of the situation. 

His eyes were giving off a killing intent. 

Without a doubt, this man is one of those people who want her dead. 

This act of him is probably a sarcastic way to express his true intentions. 

  

  

"Kukuku. Seriously... you two almost got us good. I even heard of a report 2 days ago that there is a high chance that the saint is already dead. 

HAHAHA, I see... so those torn clothes and hair were just a distraction. If not for the fact that I possess the skill [Appraisal] you would have gotten away. That disguise of yours is something."  

[I see, so this guy has the "Appraisal" skill. Tsk... Well... it's not as if she got caught because her disguise was a failure. Aa~ If not because of that skill we could have escaped without being caught.] 

"Calm, hide behind me."  

I instructed Calm while carefully protecting her. 

I made sure that the man will not be able to reach her without getting past me. 

  

  

"Saint-sama, please, I ask you to obediently follow me."  

"No."  

[Well... of course, she will not do so... after all that happened...] 

The man sigh and pulled a crystal out of his pocket and dropped it on the floor. 

When the crystal touched the floor... 

The surrounding suddenly changed. 

It was as if everything suddenly had the tint of "red". 

I was surprised as this was the first time I'd seen this happen. 

  

  

"What?"  

"Oh, Miss adventurer, you look surprised? Is this your first time inside an (Isolation Barrier)?"  

"(Isolation Barrier)?"  

"Oh my? Are you not aware of what this is.... ahahahahahaha! This is the first time I've encountered someone who's not even aware of what an Isolation barrier is?"  

[SHUT UP, If you're also an otherworlder like me you will not be aware of this kind of thing too. What Isolation Barrier? well... the name of the skill itself is very self-explanatory. If this is what I think it is, there's no way I should expect a backup... Well... that also applies to him though.] 

"Hah... I see... then, let me explain this to you. An Isolation barrier is a skill that - bla- bla- bla-"  

For some reason, the man started explaining every little detail to me. 

As expected, the item that the man dropped to have activated this (Isolation Barrier). 

Putting the explanation of the man in simple words, it was a spell that separates a small area from reality and isolates the people within its range. 

I don't know if he was trying to boast about his knowledge or something. 

I bet if this goes on he will start telling the story of his life. 

[-sigh- This is why most of the villains fail in their objectives... Well... I am annoyed seeing some bad guy explaining every little detail of their plan to their target. What a cliche, If it was me I would just attack and secure my target swiftly and be done right away. ] 

I inadvertently rolled my eyes and sighed. 

  

  

"I should thank you for ---"  

I interrupted him while he was in the middle of his speech. 

"Uhmmm... Can you shut up?"  

"huh?"
