6 Cliche robbery (1/2)
”System, how does this bag work?” Shiro asked as he held up the shabby storage pouch he retrieved from the gunner's body
[Magicians who have attained high mastery of space magic are required.] the disembodied voice replied as Shiro dug through the bag
The bag was filled with some old rations, water jugs, coins and explosives?
The explosives looked like dynamite sticks, there were even some match sticks to go with them.
Picking up a gold coin, the shinigami realized he didn't have any money until now.
”Hey system, what's the currency in this world?” he asked wondering if the coins are worth much
[Bronze coins are the lowest form of currency.
Silver coins are worth 50 bronze coins
Gold coins are worth 100 silver coins
Platinum coins are worth 100 gold coins] the system listed to it's host
counting the amount of money, the man had 11 gold coins, 30 silver coins and 63 bronze coins.
”Does this mean I'm rich?” Shiro asked with stars in his eyes
[An average wealthy person will have roughly 30 gold coins] the system responded bringing down the shinigami's excitement.
The winter haired protagonist stopped when he noticed something ahead. A caravan surrounded by armed men mounted ontop of oversized lizards.
”Could this be the cliche road robbery!?” Shiro exclaimed with starry eyes

It was a simple job, distract the driver, surround the target and loot everything of value. There was no need for any bloodshed. But Scald just couldn't keep his dick in check. He just had to try to grab a girl just because she looked alright. The idiot, now we actually got a fight on our hands.
As I gave an eye signal to Bronc, we readied to put down any hot-head who thought themselves a hero.
”ARRRGH!” Until I turned to the sound of Kenny with a blade sticking through his chest
”BACKSTAB!” It was difficult to comprehend who said that, but it probably came from the bastard that killed kenny
”You killed Kenny! You bastard!” Looks like Bronc noticed it as well, this isn't good. Kenny and him and a thing going on. Neither Scald nor I ever mentioned anything about it, but it was pretty obvious.
”Bronc, calm dow-” I didn't get to finish as he jumped off the driz. If you're going to charge at someone like an idiot, why would you jump off your mount!?
”I'M GONNA MURDER YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH” Bronc roared as the white haired brat kicked Kenny's corpse to him.
”NOBODY MOVE” the kid yelled as he held up orange sticks between his fingers.
Dear gods the kid's loaded with high-grade dynamite! He's gonna kill us all!

[System believes this to be a terrible plan.] The voice stated as the shinigami held up the lit dynamite. Maybe the system was right, running up to someone and yelling 'BACKSTAB' was probably not the best idea.
Looking towards the faces of the bandits, at least they were terrified. Then again the people on the carriage seemed to be terrified too, so maybe using lit explosives to threaten people wasn't the greatest idea.
”Scram before I blow this place sky high!” the winter haired shinigami yelled as the bandits didn't move
”You're bluffing! If you use that, it'll kill the others as well!” one of the men that looked to be the leader said calling his bluff
”TRY ME! I WILL KILL AS MANY PEOPLE AS IT TAKES AS LONG AS YOU ARE ONE OF THEM!” Shiro yelled out with a menacing grin on his face
perhaps his bluff worked because the boss's face actually seemed a bit troubled. Good because there wasn't much time left until he was forced to throw the sticks.
”Scald! drop the girl and let's get out of here.” the bandit leader finally called out
”But boss! He killed Kenny!” the man holding their dead comrade's body cried out
