The Only Aura User In Magic World

Angela keep defeating monsters on her own while I'm just enjoying the shows… and the feeling on my back. After Kayla fainted from exhaustion, I carried her on my back while letting Angela take care of the monsters. Thus far, there's only weak monsters here despite being deep within the forest. Seems like we won't meet any strong monster today.

"Fifteen! That makes it fifteen monsters I defeated and also we finished our mission to defeat twenty monsters. Should we go back?"

Angela looked at me after she used Ice Spike to pierce a goblin in the chest. She keeps using variations of magic to defeat the monsters. She used Wind Boost to increase her speed, Ground Spike to stationary monsters, and Fireball and Ice Spike to the moving ones. So far we're not surrounded by any monsters so it was easy for Angela herself to fight.

"Let's go back slowly so Kayla will be able to walk on her own when we reach the city."

"Why do we have to wait for her to wake up? Can't you just carry her to the inn?"

"I would if I could. But don't you remember this morning? We just made some enemies in the guild. If it's monsters, I could fight them with Kayla on my back. But if it's human being, it will be complicated."

"You think they're going to take revenge on us? And what do you mean by complicated?"

"Oh, I'm sure they will. And they will also bring more people with them. And what I mean by complicated is depend on what they will do. Don't worry, we won't fight probably. But depending on the situation, you might ended up being embarrassed. You will be embarrassed that you ever knew me."

"What do you mean by that?"

This time, the voice is coming from right beside my ear. Looks like Kayla is up and has been listening us for a while.

"We'll see later. All I can say is that I'm a great actor. And there's also a possibility that they won't attack us so just act normally. Kayla, will you walk on your own or you want me to carry you until the gate?"

"Carry me back. I'm quite enjoying this."

"Thank you. Me too. I enjoy this as well."

"…pervert."

And so, we leave the forest and return to the city.

Our harvest today is eight wolves, seven goblins, three boars, and two orcs. It's too weak to be in a deeper part of the forest. Must be because at the entrance, most of the monsters are being massacred so the weak ones, but slightly smarter monsters, decided to move deeper. That's why there's no strong monsters yet.

And maybe the strong monsters are resting because they have a lot of prey since the weak monsters enter deeper in the forest. They are full from eating the monsters around and taking a nap right now. This makes looking for my target is more difficult. After we return to the city and we took care of the thugs who were looking for trouble, I think I will choose to stay outside and camp. I'll return back to the city when it's the time for us to hunt together.

I conveyed my intentions to the girls and the girls only let me leave after the next mission. Since I also need to train Kayla as well, it's better this way. We also have some questions to Victoria. Whether Kayla and other people can awaken their Aura ability or not. We'll do it later at the inn so that we can freely talk with Victoria without being wary of someone seeing a slime talking.

We entered the gate to the city and I already noticed several people watching us. It's the men from before and they're getting reinforcements as well. Did he really think that they won't get kicked again if they do this? Luckily I already dropped Kayla before we enter the city. Although she's still tired, she still has enough strength to escape if things go south.

"Hey, they already watching us. There's about fifteen of them. Let's lure them to an alley near the busiest street. We may need eyewitnesses."

"Saying that we need eyewitnesses… these guys are pitiful to actually thinking of attacking us. Especially with you around."

Angela said so as we're entering an alley.

"Save the gratitude for later. We're here."

As soon as I said that, the fifteen men are already surrounding us and block the exit. Before I do anything to them, let's ask them some question first.

"What do you want?"

"Revenge! You dare to kick my crotch! I'm making sure to thoroughly enjoy your body and your friend! As for the boy, we'll kill him. You may think that you're safe in this alley thinking that people may hear us and help you. But you're wrong! The people here are afraid of us The Claw! We're notorious around these area! And unfortunately for you, the city guards won't come here."

It was the guy who grabbed Angela's arm. Seems like he's the leader of this gang. And to think that people like this are scaring the citizen… If they got arrested, then the citizen would appreciate us, right?

It's as he said. No one here willing to help us. Most of them actually watching from the sidelines. As this place is near the guild, there are a lot of hunters watching. That means they will know how scary Roy is.

Without any warning, I undressed myself until there's only my boxer left covering the important part.

"What are you doing? Do you seriously think that you can bribe us with those shabby clothes?"

"No. It's much worse."

It's time for another Shameless Survival Arts!

Acting Skill: Playing the Victim!

First I throw my clothes to the thug who seems to be the leader.

Then I took a deep breathe, and screamed at the top of my lung.

"Help! These guys trying to assault me!"

"What?"

Nice. It's working. They're confused. But I didn't stop yet.

"Nonononono!! I said no! I don't swing that way! You're free to love whoever you want but not me! I don't want anything to touch my ass!"

"Wait! You're wrong!"

I shamelessly dropped on the ground and with my back against the wall, and I waved my hand in front of me while facing the thugs. Now it looks like they're trying to assault me despite the thugs' denial.

Now the crowd is getting bigger. Those who were watching from the start know the truth, but the newcomers think that I said the truth. That's top-tier acting for you.

The ones who were watching from the start are holding back their laughter while telling the newcomers the truth. Now all the audience are holding back their laughter. With this many people gathering here, there's no way the guards won't come here. And the thugs who are frantically denying my lies won't even think of running away. Once the guards come, they have no other choice but to go to jail.

"No, we're not trying to **** him! We're actually trying to assault… Ouch!"

"What are you saying?! We're friends here! We're just playing around!"

"Why did you hit me?"

"You want to say we're targeting the girls? That's a sure way to the jail for us!"

"But if we don't deny it, they will think that we swung that way! This guy lying skill is too much! Everyone here already thinking that we're like that!"

Soon, we heard the guards are coming. They're the one responsible in protecting the city. My plan to call them is successful.

"What's going on here?!"

"Sir! They're trying to assault me! Look! They already stripped me bare and my clothes is in their hands!"

"What? No! You threw this!"

Then I stopped acting.

"Then what were you doing here? There's no way you're actually aiming for the girls, right?"

Everyone here then see my evil smile. All those who were speaking and talking, now stopped their mouth. Silence surround us.

"Did you think that your evildoing will never be caught? Here we are! Now tell us! Why are you here? Are you targeting me or the girls? There are a lot of witnesses here. If your answer is targeting me, then you will be going to jail. If your answer is targeting the girls, then you will be investigated with every similar crime and going to jail. Your destination is the same, but the weight of the punishment is different. What's your answer?"

I calmly said all that while wearing only my underwear. But no one actually think that I'm a pervert. In fact, in their eyes, I'm a Demon Lord. I alone can handle dozen of thugs without fighting. No one will dare to pick a fight against us in this city anymore. And just as I said before. Angela and Kayla both were too embarrassed with my acts. They were hoping that they can find a hole to hide themselves but they can't in this situation.

Meanwhile, the guards asked some eyewitnesses about what happened.

"I see. So you guys are the gang that keep bothering the people here. Now do as he said and choose an answer! Depending on your answer, the punishment will be different!"

Ahaha! The captain of the guards is on my side! Now what will they choose?
