Volume 6 Chapter 286 - Entering the City
The next morning, Kisuke woke up early, refreshed. And beside her is Sona, who is deep asleep with a small satisfied smile painted on her face.
Kisuke cleaned all the traces of their activity last night except for one thing, the patch of blood on the bedsheet. He knew that Sona will find it and maybe keep this particular bedsheet for herself.
Kisuke then left the bed and dressed up, but before he left the room, Kisuke gave the sleeping Sona a forehead kiss. The smile on Sona's face deepened but she didn't wake up.
Exiting the room, everyone is already on the dining table and each one of them has a funny expression. Starting from Yoruichi who is giving Kisuke a smug smile and he didn't know why, Kuroka has a flushed face while squirming around, while the last three have almost the same expression, looking into the air with obvious bags under their eyes.
"What's this? Didn't I tell you to rest early? Why stay up all night?" Kisuke asked as if he didn't know the reason.
Medusa blushed and looked away while the other two glared at him, "Kisuke-senpai… Sona-kaichou is too noisy last night…" Koneko gritted her teeth wanting to bite him.
"You intentionally didn't bother to put up a soundproofing barrier and we had to listen to Sona-kaichou's seductive moans all night long! How do you expect us to sleep in a situation like that!?" Aika angrily stomped her feet, but more than angry, she jealous. However, she couldn't say it out loud because somewhere inside her, she thinks that she doesn't match Kisuke and those around him. Thus, her frustration.
Kisuke didn't mind their display and only smiled, "Well, I honestly forgot~! Sona-chan is too captivating last night that I had to use all my focus on her."
"Bullsh*t!" Everyone simultaneously said.
Kisuke only shrugged his shoulders and sat down to eat his breakfast. They then choose to set aside Sona's first night and discussed what they'll be doing today.
After their breakfast, Kisuke immediately started working on the barrier that will neutralize the pressure coming from their surrounding and he was able to finish it before lunch.
Everyone ate their lunch except for the still sleeping Sona. Kisuke soon told them what they all need to do while he's gone and after their lunch, Kisuke immediately left for the city after bidding his farewells with a brown robe over him and a big backpack for his essentials.
Kisuke recalled the construction of the city and figured that the civilization isn't very advanced yet so this sort of attire should give him more chances of blending in case he was discovered. For the large bag pack on his bag, it is to avoid any suspicion of traveling without supplies and also to avoid using his storage magic.
Kisuke used multiple Flash Steps until he exited the forest and just started running towards the direction of the city. From the forest, Kisuke needs to travel around 25 kilometers until he reaches the city. With his running speed, he should be able to cover it with just a few minutes but he didn't do that and only used the same speed as a normal human from his previous world.
This is for him to be able to react to everything that is coming for him and not to catch so much attention. While scanning the surrounding with his Reiatsu-Ki, Kisuke reached a spot where large boulders are located which is only 3 kilometers away from the city.
With his eyesight, he was able to see clearly what's going on and saw a gate with lined up people, trying to enter the city.
Kisuke heaved a huge sigh of relief as he can see humans from the midst of people lined up. Although there are some who seem like elves and beast people from the games he plays back in the previous world, his worries about blending in were lifted.
Kisuke then proceeded to scan her surroundings of any that might be able to spot him between the rocks before observing everything happening on the gates.
'First is the guards, while most of them are humans, there are some people with animal features and should be normal around here. They're wearing similar metal armors and swords signifying that there's a proper organization that is maintaining them. But what's this? It seems that they are all connected to one thing… As if they are tethered to something…
'Well… Setting that aside, for now, the people entering the city can be divided into two, the individuals and those with carts. It seems that individuals only has to pay a certain amount and a short inspection to enter while those with carts, in addition to payment and inspections, they also had to present some sort of certificate, probably, before they could enter.
'As for powers… Most of the people entering the city are on the level of a normal human being back in the previous world, however, those guards are strong… Too strong perhaps. Is it because they are guards? And now that I took a closer look, there are no anti-air weapons on top of the walls, which means that air battle is underdeveloped or almost nonexistent… Or maybe they're only hiding it to avoid tearing from the weather… But, weirdly, there's not a single one of it…'
Kisuke used the whole afternoon to observe from his hiding place and through it, he was able to spot some individuals who are very strong compared to everyone else. Although Kisuke is very curious at how such a power gap came to be, he isn't here for that and waited until night to make his next move.
Night came and the large gate closed, 'It seems they stopped accepting the entry of carts while a small gate is still open at the side for individuals to enter, albeit, a stricter inspection.
Kisuke first noted everything before making his move. He decided to leave his bag pack and change into a black robe, blending himself in the darkness.
Kisuke approached the wall, a kilometer away from the gate, and looked around before scaling the 15-meter wall. Arriving at the top, he first surveyed his perimeter before peeking on the city itself, 'Hoh~. This is a lot brighter than I thought.'
Kisuke expected it to be very dark once night arrives because of the apparent level of civilization, 'Those street lights are using mana, huh. And people are still active because of the lighting system. It seems that the technology of this world is centered around magic tools.
Kisuke stopped admiring the city and found a dark spot to jump down. Landing, he immediately spotted people who seem to be homeless, but he immediately ignored them after figuring out that they aren't observing him.
Leaving the dark area, Kisuke approached the main street until he could hear people talking. Of course, he couldn't understand what they are talking about but he memorized everything he heard. But that isn't enough as he also needed to see the gestures they are making to understand them easier. However, instead of revealing himself on the street, Kisuke used his Reiatsu-Ki to scan everything around him.
That decision immediately backfired as few individuals immediately noticed when his Reiatsu-Ki passed through them, '!?'
Instead of pulling it back, Kisuke dispersed it and immediately left the area. He then ran around to find a place to see what's happening. Peeking, he saw few individuals looking around with a confused expression, 'I didn't notice it immediately, but although they look human, they aren't human, huh… What a blunder. It seems that they sensitive to either ki or spiritual energy so I can't use any of my techniques without a way to hide its aura…'
