Chapter 27 (2/2)
”No”
I let my ears slipped out a bit from my hood Their eyes widened
”Y-You're…”
”Don't o… move away”
My claws sliced apart the lock and their handcuffs I also handed theers, plus a few silver coins
”U-Umm…”
”This is it I can't help you any further here”
I turned to leave The girl called after me, her voice choked in tears
”One day… one day, we'll repay you! We swear!”
The boy still kept silent, his head bowed low He didn't ht
”…”
I knew it I couldn't bring myself to abandon soent problems to deal with, at that In front of my eyes or not, I should leave the slaves alone next tiht… let's sow soic stone
”Who's there?”
A staffout of the dark and into the faint ht Looked like they were still unaware of what had happened Wait, was that the Elven Treasure that was supposed to co that I still wasn't stopping, the guardsmen immediately crowded around the treasure They stabbed their spears toward ly strict
My coood My offensive versatility, less so I was at a disadvantage every tih coe received from attacks
With ranted, the reflexes and instantaneous power I had when shapeshi+fted had risen by leaps and bounds I could even see , as if in slow ainst ht into the face of one of theer tore his throat apart
”Whoa!?”
”We have a professional here! Be careful!”
The guardsainst someone who only looked like a kid A few of theer and slicing throats withunenchanted,weapons They still hurt, of course, but the daans like huer broke I'd been handling them… well, not exactly carefully One of them took the chance to pierce my stomach with a spear from behind uardser slipped fro me impaled, the two men approached without as ers into their throats
”Wh” The guard i me cried out I dispersed my left hand into a tendril, then solidified just the claws to tear off his throat
Seeing the guards all dead in bare moments, the other staff members screamed Too late
I pull the spear out ofon top of a fancy-looking service cart
If only this was the ht there and then I took too much time with those elven kids…

As I hurried to the stage, I saw a shi+ning yellow stone within the darkness, being surrounded by a few guardsmen
That's it… The stone I assi ic stone
”Thief! There's a thief!”
I heard around ten pairs of feet running up behind e pointed their spears atthe attendees, who had been left in the dark until now
…I wondered if those kids et caught, alright!? I have e charged atthe spears with a dagger while stabbing the closest guard in the face with another
”AaaAAAAaAhh!?”
”They're fast! Don't use spears, use your swords-” one of the ready to switch weapons His throat got a [Reroll]ed thrown dagger ”-aghk!”
”Eat this! [Sword Slash]!”
One of theical, as it hurt quite a bit I pretended to stagger, slicing at thea dagger into his neck the round

Two men took the chance to attack I rolled away from their blades, then dispersed boththeir throats

The ht on the stage, the lighting shut off As they waited in candlelight for the repairs to be done, a sudden co spoiled, Tiz growled
”What's going on?!”
”Sir, I'll go check right away…”
Salia reflexively responded, then upon further thinking, began to vacillate bethether she should prioritize Tiz's safety or investigate the current incident Her thoughts were interrupted by soe
”I see, a thief!” Tiz stood up, histhe lack of weapons on his hips, he scowled
”Boy, no need to endanger yourself This is not your country”
”You don't need to tell ramps”
But Tiz's displeasure soon disappeared Lit by faint e had piqued his fancy
The shadoas small, almost like they were just a child Their opponents were ten-plus grown ht without the slightest hesitation, dodging only the fatal blows Tiz thought the sight was beautiful
He wanted the thief… Still, even if he had no idea what they were after, they surely wouldn't co into this auction
Then the kid leaped toward the yellowinside the darkness Tiz thought he saw the thief s it The noisy attendees, agitated by the battle, iming Al else
The next e was abruptly aith a faintthat the people in contact with thehis are
”[Fire Lance]!”
A blast of fiery heat washed away the e The wind took off the hood of the thief Lit by the fla, rabbit-like ears
”…Shedy!”
