Chapter 2073: Date Plan Execution ⑮
Megiddo-san's Teleportation Magic brought us to a city I didn’t recognize much. At the very least, this shouldn't be the Capital…… The atmosphere of this place wasn't one I'd describe as rural, but it does feel like a town.
[Hey, Megiddo-san, where are we in Hydra Kingdom? This isn't the Capital, right?]
[Unn? Ah, this is a city located east of Hydra Kingdom's Royal Capital. We could go to the Capital, but the Capital tends to have a lot of cutting-edge fashion. I like bold fashion too, but for the purpose of our trip, this place is better. This town has developed through the clothing industry, so there are quite a lot of clothing shops.]
[Heehhh…… That's interesting. Just looking around, I could see lots of clothing shops everywhere.]
Indeed, while Hydra Kingdom is famous for its clothing, the Capital, which favors the latest trends, hosts not just clothing but various cutting-edge goods and shops.
On the other hand, this city seems to focus heavily on the clothing industry, making it the perfect place if you're looking for affordable clothes.
[The atmosphere here is nice, and it looks like we could enjoy shopping leisurely…… Unn?]
[Oh…… Heehhh……]
Just as I was thinking of heading to a promising shop, I sensed a turbulent, almost hostile presence through my Sympathy Magic and turned my gaze toward it…… There, a group of young men and women, with a delinquent-like aura, was glaring at another similar group.
Moreover, they seemed to be exchanging insults and were clearly in the middle of a fight.[Hahaha, looks like local troublemakers or something? They sure seem to be having fun.]
[Well, rather than having fun, things kinda seem like it's getting tense……]
[Really? They're just having a small squabble, nothing to fuss about.]
[……Hmm, well, I guess Megiddo-san would feel that way huh.]
Hearing Megiddo-san’s words as she laughs happily, I find myself somewhat agreeing, though reluctantly. Honestly speaking, they kinda lack the intensity. I mean, this comparison may be off…… but the atmosphere around them isn't like when Pandora-san and Agni-san were glaring at each other, with the kind of tension that could crush everything around them.
In that sense, from Megiddo-san’s perspective, someone who’s seen plenty of battles and fights, what’s going on here probably looks like nothing more than a children's playfight.
[But well, the problem is that they're being a hindrance….. Oi, brats, fighting is all well and good, but don't do it in the middle of the street. You're in the way.]
[Ah? The f*ck did you say!? You f*cking dare talk down to me like that, I'll knock your teeth out!!!]
Perhaps because they were in the middle of a standoff and seemed like they were about to fight, Megiddo-san casually told them to take their fight elsewhere.
However, as for whether these people who were fighting in the heated situation would agree to such a request, they naturally didn't do that and instead yelled back at Megiddo-san.
I understand they've done such a thing because they don't know who she is, but doing something like that, for an onlooker like me, just makes me nervous…… I even feel a sense of pity for these people who are taking the suicidal action of picking a fight with Megiddo-san.
I-I mean, Megiddo-san…… you wouldn't beat them up, right? As expected, that's too…… ah, seems like things are gonna be alright. She's smiling happily.
[Isn't it great that you're full of energy? Lucky too. I'm here with Kaito now, so today I'm feeling pretty kind. That's why, this time, I'll give you some kind warning gently. It's fine to be full of energy, and you can enjoy fighting…… but you better choose your opponents carefully. Understand that, brats?]
At that moment, an intense pressure, as if the surrounding air had turned to lead, hit me. I've experienced it several times before, so it's not a problem for me, but the members of the delinquent group were speechless, trembling with pale faces.
How should I say this…… It seems like they could feel it on their skin…… Their instincts are telling them just how much stronger Megiddo-san is compared to them……
[Got it? Good…… Then, enjoy your fight somewhere it won't cause trouble for others. Now, get outta here.]
[W- We're sorry!]
As Megiddo-san lessened the pressure, the delinquent group scattered like spiders, running away. Hmm, it’s not so much that they were too weak to handle the situation, but when the opponent is Megiddo-san, you can't help but feel sorry for them. How strange.
[Well, let's go then…… though, I must say, I’m really being kind today. Don't you think so too, Kaito? Must be because I'm in a good mood~~ If there was someone I didn’t like in front of me right now, I think I could let them off with just being half-killed.]
[……I- I guess so.]
Incidentally, she wasn't joking there. Apparently, Megiddo-san really does kill anyone she dislikes without hesitation, so the fact that she would only leave them half-dead is actually a more lenient response than usual.
How should I say this…… even though the issue was solved quickly, for our outing to start with trouble…… I'm kinda feeling anxious about what's gonna happen here on out.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [Well, based on Gorilla-san's standards, she actually likes reckless opponents who dare to pick a fight with her. So, even if she encountered them without Kaito-san around, she would have probably knocked them down gently to some extent.
Serious-senpai : [Thinking about how things would be like if she fought them even if she's holding back without Kaito there…… in a way, it feels like Kaito saved that delinquent group……]
? ? ? : [Well, considering that the Trouble Magnet Kaito-san and the Trouble Maker Megiddo-san are together in that situation, it’s not really surprising that some trouble popped up.]
