My Magical System

Chapter 246: Perfect disguise

Eman and Eina went back to Soda Town, but this time they were on their feet. The two of them were wearing a brown cloak to look like ordinary travelers.

After entering the town, they immediately distanced themselves from the crowd. Eman looked around and he immediately noticed that almost all the establishments were closed, even the small shops.

The aura of the surroundings is not good. People seemed mad and restless. He advised Eina to avoid looking at them to avoid diverting their attention to them.

“Okay, bro.”

They walked like ordinary travelers. Few people glanced at them, but they immediately turned their attention away. Well, since they were wearing hoods, it wasn’t easy to figure out their identity.

About a few minutes walk, they reached the center of the town where the plaza can be seen. But, at the moment, the place is very empty.

The two just kept walking. They walked along the road to get to the other side of town where they could exit the town.

.....

About a few minutes later, they arrived at an old establishment. And on its side is placed the sign of the Thief Guild. Eman was a little bit surprised. He did not expect to see a Thief Guild barracks in this place. Suddenly, there was a mysterious gleam in his eye when he suddenly thought of something.

He smiled before telling Eina that they needed to take a detour for a while. Though curious for his reason, Eina didn’t hesitate when she nodded at her brother.

“Okay, bro!”

Before moving forward, Eman took something from his dimensional storage. “Uhm, first of all, let’s wear this,” Eman suddenly said to her sister while handing something to her.

“Wah!” Eina suddenly cried out when she saw what her brother had handed her. The object fell to the ground.

“W-what is it, bro?!” Eina asked, a little scared as she took a step back.

“Fufu,” Eman chuckled drily. “That’s a mask for our perfect disguise,” he replied to his sister.

“Perfect disguise?”

“Uhm, I mean to hide our looks,” he smiled.

“So, it’s just a mask? Why does it look scary? And wouldn’t we look even more suspicious if we wore it?”

“.....”

Eman fell silent and thought that what her sister had said was right. But, they really need to hide their identity.

“Don’t worry, this is only temporary. Ah I mean, we just have to wear it this time only.”

“Hm, but why do we have to hide our appearance?”

“Uh, because we don’t know who our possible enemies are and the people who are likely to be watching us. We need to be especially careful when entering a place like that.” Eman pointed in the direction of the Thief Guild.

Eina seemed to recognize the sign on it. She couldn’t deny that her brother was just being careful. Especially with what had happened to them in the past. It was true that they needed to be careful. “Ah, I see. But why would we go there? Isn’t that a den of bad people?” His sister innocently asked him.

Under his hood, Eman’s mouth stretched to both sides as he smiled wryly. “I need to get them to do something for me.”

“But isn’t their job bad and evil deeds?” Eina asked with a frown.

Eman gently placed his hand on her head. “Uhm, Eina. Not everyone who does evil deeds has evil intentions. Sometimes we have to do bad things to make people close to us feel better. Especially if you don’t have any other choice.”

Eina blinked her beautiful round brown eyes as she stared at her brother. “I see. Okay bro I will remember that!” Her face was happy as she said this.

“...”

Eman didn’t know if it was right to say that to his sister. However, he could not think of a good explanation. Well, maybe it would have been better for Eina to know the real face of the world while she was still young for her to have an idea of ??what kind of world she grew up in. Though, Eman believed that Eina already had an idea of the danger of the world. Especially since she was once a victim of kidnapping.

Eina picked the mask and stared at it for a few seconds before putting it on. She couldn’t stop her body hair from standing because of its frightening appearance. She was actually wondering why her brother thought of using this kind of mask.

The Thief Guild building in this town was smaller compared to that in the capital city. After pushing the wooden door, “Wah-!” Eman and Eina were greeted by the shocked face of a person behind it. Eman didn’t expect that someone was behind the door. Maybe this person was about to come out. However, by an unexpected coincidence, they entered.

“W-what kind of creature are you?!” While asking this, the person suddenly stepped back and quickly reached for the handle of the weapon that was at the person’s side.

Eina stiffened and did not know what to do in those moments. She thought, “I knew it! We’re going to find ourselves in trouble because of this!’

But, even before the person pulled out the weapon Eman quickly stopped it. He reached and gripped the person’s arm tightly.

“Wha-!” The person seemed shocked when she couldn’t move her own arm from Eman’s grip.

“Wait a minute! It’s just a disguise,” Eman said hastily after ensuring their safety to calm the person down.

The person frowned. The shock was obvious when she heard what he said.

“Y-You’re a human?” She questioned him in a tone of doubt.

“O-of course! Don’t worry, it’s just a disguise.” Eman slightly removed the mask to show that it was just a mask. However, he did not proceed to remove so as not to peek at his face. He also immediately returned it.

Honestly, who wouldn’t be alarmed by the kind of mask they were wearing? They are even more frightening to look at than the monsters seen outside the town.
