A gunshot! The gunman is here! But I'm prepared! The location of my death is outside the restaurant. I'll take not a single step beyond that door!"Miles..."Her fingers are trembling as if they were freezing. I see a chilling cloak of fear blanketing her body. I'm usually too embarrassed to ask, but..."Ria, give me your hand."Even if my hand feels like a swamp, it should be enough to warm her."W-What do we do?"We could just relax here, savor our food, and relish your attractive stupidity, but-"Somebody call the police!"The random man said it... We could take the back exit behind the toilet and enter a dark alley, but that could be the gunman's escape route. Remaining as an inanimate object in this palace should be anything but the worst possible outcome, so that should be our cho-"Somebody call an ambulance for the old man!"Old man?! Surely he's jesting, right?! The old geezer is a... neat human being, I'

What the... we're suddenly in a carousel on a bridge! We were elevated earlier... about second-floor level, and now we're on ground elevation. The slums in front of us and a gigantic wall behind us?!What the hell is wrong with this city?! So they're separating the pitiful and the blessed, I assume?! That's next-level human atrociousness! The level of bullshit with what I'm currently witnessing is equal to that of the Atlantic slave trade... I may have transmigrated to an extreme version of my previous world."Sir, are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost.""I-I'm fine!""You don't want to be moving too much, sir. Your girl's asleep...""Who... oh."Again? I kind of like it this time! So I'll let it be."You two seem too close to not be dating.""Seriously, we aren't!"Then is she you're sister?""Do we look alike?""Figures... Seriously though. If you aren't lovers, then I don't know what you two

"Why won't you pull the trigger? Too afraid of the consequences or the crowd? You want me to swallow the gun for you? I'm just an ordinary elf visiting his lovely uhh... g-girlfriend."Lesson three of Uncle Jerry's classes. If you want to attract attention, fuck with the police, legally. And the best way to do that is to be a "victim" of racism. If I were downtown, I would've died on the spot, but that won't be the case If I'm near a government facility with a fair amount of people. The police corps cowers in the presence of crowds or government officials, so what happened to the old man of the toilet was a freak accident."C-can you prove you're just visiting, and you're not a member of the gang? T-they've been rioting for a whole week!""And whose fault is it that they're rioting? If the police corps didn't murder an innocent man and his daughter, we would be living a peaceful life!"Good... he's trembling and stuttering. Dissecting him would be child's

"Not to be rude, but can I decline that offer?""It's your choice, but I suggest you get familiar with them first.""Neh! What's your name? Tell me, dead eyes! What's your na-""Miles..."That's one lively kid! And why is Ms. Alice recommending a mere CHILD to join me in hunting a NOTORIOUS GANG LEADER?!"I apologize on behalf of my brother's behavior, so you must be that guy who tried to intervene with the corps last week?""Uhh... Have we met before?""Y-you don't remember me? After I gave you a wonderful date?"Date? I don't remember going out with anyone! And if I did, then it has to be Ria!"I think you have the wrong guy?""I'm the waiter who set you up before!""Now you're getting your identity wrong... The waiter who set me up was a guy!""No, it's me!""How?!""Oi! Don't leave me out! What are you talking about? Neh? Don't leave me o-""Will you please stop be being obno

"I thought we already had one.""Well, this is a plan to continue that plan, or not... maybe?""Is it fun? Is it fun?""Yes, Hermes! It's going to be entertaining!""...""You sound like a psychopath, Miles."That's right... every time I use Nori, I lose a piece of my sanity. Anyone who can stomach what I've seen is... not human. Just the thought of my humanity being consumed makes me tremble, but if I don't utilize my enhancement, the future for Ria and me look dim; that's the ultimate dilemma."Listen, the two of you! This is only a prediction but, Hitoshi will send fifty to a hundred men to create a commotion, and he'll use that confusion to assassinate the person beside Mr. Wissen.""That's quite the premonition, Miles.""I've already predicted the bomb, and it turned out to be true, so trust me.""Okay? But what do we do with your 'prophecy'?""Since we can teleport anywhere in or near the central plaz
