Second Story Online: Aiming To Become The World's Number 1. Ideal Witch

The shadow of Gondola moving gracefully through the sky instead of the clouds passes. We were confronted in an alley between the left and right under it, sandwiched by a building.

"Are you still stealing things..."

Chloe doesn't have a good impression on them because she's been attacked last time. So I'll send you a little scornful gaze. Let me send you a glance at something smiling against them that looks as friendly and fun as I am. From the heart.

"Ugh, this is the..."

"So what? We are bandits. Bandits steal things for granted, don't they?

"But Savar..."

"Azie, don't pinch your mouth. Shut up."

"Ugh, yeah, I get it..."

The elf named Savar told me so strongly that the cat-eared girl, known as Azi, clasped her mouth. It seems slightly soggy, with lower cat ears and tail.

"Well, well, don't calm down, Savar. Like you said, we're on the run, right?... Well, they seem to have caught up."

A Dwarf-like boy called Bluey earlier told me to forgive you Savar, and I looked back.

"How dare you... my ore!

It was the person who ran out of breath, supposedly Dwarf. Earlier, it was this guy who was chasing the three of you yelling out loud.

"Give it back, it's a precious item I got!

"... that's not how it works. This ore is for us, the Bandits [Theokaze]!

Apparently she's resurrected. Azie, the cat ear girl, has declared her chest high. Bandits [Theokaze]...... Sounds like the name of this threesome of bandits.

"Hey, Savar! That was good, wasn't it? Hey?"

"... you would have been perfect without your current words"

"Ah... I did it! Wow, I thought I had a good roll because of you. No!

Azie gets depressed with her soggy cat ears and tail up again. But I think it was a better act than last time.

"What's the Bandits! Player but NPC but I don't know, just give me my stuff back!

Whoa, looks like the victim's a player. It would be a player who is not exactly a role player. Sounds a lot angry, staring at a threesome of bandits.

"I can't do that! This is what I really need!

"... that we are in this hands more than you refused to negotiate with us. I'm sorry, but we'll take this."

The ore you stole is apparently owned by Bluey the Dwarf. A slightly larger ore that I could hold with one hand looked chilli.

"... for whatever reason, stealing people's things isn't acceptable."

In the meantime, Mr. Miranda, with the hammer in one hand, stepped forward.

"We can't miss you guys for stealing his stuff. You can choose whether to pay for your sins by returning them, or by matching your painful eyes and then redeeming them."

Where does the usual fluffy atmosphere go? Not long ago, Miranda with a serious look was there.

"... choosing which one won't change you to atone for your sins"

"It's obvious. What you've done is not acceptable. You can't forgive me if I don't atone for my sins!

Speaking of which, were the players who committed the criminal act to be wanted and chased by the guards and the like? If caught, the length of imprisonment will vary depending on the weight of the crime, but you will be imprisoned in prison, and if that happens, that character will be unable to do anything unless he gets out of prison.

"We were just about to go to the guard. Shall I take you too? You might get a reward if you get a nomination."

I'll put up my cane and step forward, too. Azi pulled herself back a little and stopped by Savar. Am I that scared?

"You, too, are you sure?

"Oh, I can even go back to the item and do whatever this is... thanks for helping me catch it!

"Thank you later, you haven't caught him yet, have you?

A young man on the other side nods across the bandit group. The threesomes sandwiched between them are back-to-back with each other, alerting us without alarm to the surrounding.

"We can't get caught easily either... Bluey, you can use that."

"Of course.... we have not yet succeeded in stealing a single one. That's why I give up so badly this time...... so sorry!

When I wondered if Bluey, who had the wand, had put it up, a strong light spread on the spot. The [flash] of light magic...... what is blindness!

"I'm so sorry! But I don't use this like it's bad, so forgive me!

"Azzie, what are you doing? Let's get out of here!

"Yeah, I know!

I hear voices like that in my whitened vision. There were no more of them when my vision returned.

"Damn, the cool-time of my skills was over!

Apparently you blinded yourself even before you met us. Maybe they took things because of that gap.

But then I feel like I've done something wrong. No, it might have been made more intentional than that. We had a conversation (roll) until the end of [Flash] cooltime. I did the same thing to them before... I didn't know they would do the same thing.

"Nil, I need their search from above."

Nil, who was stopping on his shoulder, nodded cocklessly and flew into the sky. I will also look for them from the sky with vision sharing from Nil. But I don't see it. I'm not supposed to be far away...... Because the city is in a highly low- and high-differentiated terrain. There are many shadows of buildings that its high and low differences create, which are difficult to find from the sky.

"... sorry, I looked from above but I can't find a clue..."

"Right...... oh shit! The ore I dug...!

A young man who squeezes into the spot and holds his head. It's a dwarf, so the little one looks even smaller.

"Hey, why don't you go to the guard for now? If you report it over there, you might catch me..."

"I see... I will"

The young man who stood up with his face up, speaking of which, gives a look like he realizes.

"I'm kind of sorry I got into trouble...... my name is Oliver. Artisan players based in this city of Ilu...... something like that?

Oliver is a dwarf-like and short, so he introduced himself as he looked up to us. Looks like he was still a player.

"It's Miranda, who's a merchant in the city of Die Road. Nice to meet you!"

"... I'm Chloe, a magician apprentice. I'm from the city of Die Road as well."

I saw Miranda introduce herself and worried about how she introduced herself. Although the opponent is an ordinary player, this one is a role player. Like Mr. Miranda, I naturally had to introduce myself as a resident of this world.

Suddenly he's the guardian of the Dusk Forest seal. There's no way he can be named, so I made him a magician apprentice without difficulty. I really wanted to call it witch's, because I'm not strong enough to name it yet.

"Oh, nice to meet you."

Seeing our introduction like that, Oliver smiled back at the hand he offered and shook my hand. I don't know how he sees us, but apparently you treat us amicably.
