Chapter 16 - 015 "Sisters

Chapter 16: 015 "Sisters ``` "Uh..." At this moment, Shane's face turned stiff, and he felt a bit speechless in his heart. To Shane, an Otherworldly traveler, the girl's words were undeniably arrogant. If it were in his previous life, it wouldn't be surprising if others saw her as a poser. Unfortunately, this was the Otherworld of swords and magic, where gods, a Demon King, nobles, and the royal family existed, and even species other than humans, so such statements might not mean much here. But, it did indicate one thing. That, this girl in front of him was either a deluded fool or a truly noble lady with an impressive background. And regardless of which it was, Shane did not want to get involved with her. Otherwise, according to typical story developments, endless troubles would surely arise subsequently. So, Shane made a very straightforward decision. "I'm really sorry, please forgive my ignorant question, I'll take my leave now." Saying this, Shane bowed his head as if humbly, then quickly escaped as if his feet were greased. "You..." The girl was momentarily stunned. Clearly, she hadn't expected Shane to react this way. By the time she recovered, Shane was already blending into the crowd, out of sight. The girl stared blankly in the direction Shane disappeared for several moments, then suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter sounded like silver bells, extremely melodious and delightful. Such a scene captivated and enchanted the surrounding people, making it entirely reasonable for them to be mesmerized. However, the people around seemed completely oblivious to the stunningly beautiful girl among them, walking past as if she weren't there. Until... "Lady." Just as the girl stopped laughing, a voice without any emotion and utterly monotone rang out. At some point, someone had parted through the crowd and approached the girl. If Shane had still been there, he would certainly have been surprised, right?@@@@ The reason she had approached Shane wasn't just due to a momentary whim after hearing his words but also because of this particular reason. "My 'Cognitive Interference' didn't seem to affect him much; otherwise, even if I initiated contact, he wouldn't have immediately noticed my presence and directed his gaze straight at me." Laischa mumbled to herself. "Could it be he is..." Perhaps thinking of something, Laischa's eyes grew cold and a bit dangerous. "Lady?" Lasha, unaware of Laischa's thoughts, called her back to her senses. "It's nothing, let's go." Laischa smiled again and said to Lasha. Of course... "Looks like we'll have to linger in this town for a bit." With such thoughts, Laischa turned around and left. Seeing this, Lasha didn't ask anything further and quietly followed. From beginning to end, no one around noticed these twin-like girls, allowing them to slip away quietly like unnoticed ghosts. ... On the other side, unaware that he had been targeted, Shane continued to feel relieved. "Good thing I was quick." Having run a distance through the crowd, Shane breathed a sigh of relief. With his current troubles unresolved, Shane didn't want to be dragged into new ones. "Better find a place to rest and enjoy the first night in the human society of the Otherworld." Deciding not to worry about troublesome things, Shane resolved to do just that. After ten days living like a wild man, he really wanted to improve his quality of life. As for other matters... "I'll deal with those later." So, Shane began to roam around this town. ``` Enhance your reading experience by removing ads: Remove Ads Now
