Seventh Day, Eighth Month, Summer
The crowd was very felt in the shopping center in Thaha City. People pass by to buy their target goods, and not infrequently who come just to look around or show off the luxury items they have got. Compared to other regions, this city was already the most advanced city. Call it a metropolis with even steam trains already existing as a transportation route. Moreover, it was rare for a witch to exist in the city, not even a shadow existed.
According to the news, the city of Thaha is indeed a city that is predicted to be the most advanced city without a witch. And only the people without magic settled there. Although still, in the largest city in Thopaz it still has the existence of magic element users, even though it can be counted by finger count.
"I bought this ring yesterday." A beautiful woman boasted a nicely circular diamond ring in her fingers.
Another woman responded with a smiling face, but her heart was so envious. "Ah, what a beautiful ring! It's like blood."
"It really sparkles, where did you buy it?" Ask the others.
"Yes, so lovely~" The others chimed in.
There was a teenage boy about fifteen years old with a strand of black mane. The pair of black beads looked around him faintly and with a quick highlight. He took down the half-round hat he was wearing and stepped towards the crowd of women who were throwing compliments at each other. He accidentally knocked one of them.
"Sorry." He said as he passed without waiting for the other party's response. When he passed by them, he accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it. Is brother okay?" A person was very young, even from his voice it was seen that he was still a child.
The young man lowered his hat again, injected his face and did not look at someone in front of him, and shook his head faintly, "No problem."
When the young man, someone was fixated on his back, before a smile rose in the pink lips. A pair of slender legs with half-footed footwear was treading, following in the footsteps of strangers who had passed through it lightly, without knowing whose traces and leaving what remains there. It's just footprints, which will be buried in new tracks.
The teenage boy almost managed to go a long way, before someone's frantic screams distracted people. "Penopement! Somebody pick up my jewelry, please!! That's my jewelry!"
Two guards who coincidentally stood guard there immediately approached the panicked-looking woman. "Madam, please calm down. What's going on?"
The woman was still panicking, "My jewelry was stolen! Someone stole my jewelry!"
The woman's bead circled around her and accidentally looked at the teenager's pair of soot beads. The woman immediately recalled the scene where the teenager hit her and left without even hearing her reply. He was so sure the teenager was a pickpocket! Before the teenager reacted, the woman's screams made her peck at her place.
"That!! That brown hat boy over there is a pickpocket! He's the pickpocket who stole my jewelry! Guards, arrest the boy! He did!!" His shouting.
"Damn!" The teenager clucked in his heart, took down his hat and tried his best to hide his face.
Damn, why can that woman remember him and even find him around here?!
If he were to escape now, it was highly unlikely that he would be able to escape from the hundreds or perhaps even thousands of people in that place. And it very clearly shows his identity as a pickpocket who actually took the jewelry of the woman. But if he doesn't run away, he could be in big trouble. If they find the jewelry on him, they will beat him up before dragging him to prison. And the people there wouldn't even bother to just hold the guards beating him.
"Damn it!" Inner that young man.
People whispered around him. Some may actually think that he is a pickpocket. Seeing the approaching guard step, the teenager tightened his grip on his hat.
Before his feet were raised, there was a voice that stopped the guard's footsteps. The pair of slender hands were outstretched showing a jeweled pendant necklace carved to resemble a cherry blossom. "Hello uncle, sorry Ilo interfered."
"Ilo found this necklace nearby. Ilo was just about to hand it over to uncle when he heard the beautiful sister there screaming for her jewelry. Does this probably belong to the brother over there?" Her sweet voice asked the guard who stopped in front of her and stared at the jewelry in her hand.
Iloania, it was Iloania who said with a sincere tone and an innocent gaze that had no highlight of lies. In a slightly stinging summer, the ten-year-old girl was wearing a shirt that looked bigger than her body. The shirt is light blue with lace on the neck and button area. His arms look longer.
The long mane is arranged in such a way as to form braids on the knee. Not only does it look shiny, the braid is decorated with pink flower-shaped accessories that seem to make it sweet. Iloania did not seem to use subordinates, but in fact Iloania had a skirt that was a centimeter longer than her shirt, and it was white. The pair of slender legs were covered in open shoes that looked like glass shoes, which wrapped around his legs to half his feet.
Clearly anyone who saw it would have no doubt if he had actually found the necklace in the place he had pointed. Moreover, due to her outstanding appearance, one clearly thought of her as a young miss from a distinguished family who was shopping. But only the teenager knew that a girl as beautiful as a fairy was lying.
Because that necklace, which he stole.
He reached into his pocket and a trace of confusion was clearly visible on his face. Didn't he take the necklace? Obviously he took it, but how could it be in the hands of that girl?!
The woman who saw his necklace immediately came to him, "My necklace!"
Seeing the behavior of the woman who was busy with her jewelry and did not even remember to say a word of thanks made those there talk about it.
"Ckck, ungrateful woman."
"She even had time to accuse innocent people just for their negligence." The other whisper.
"Acchss.. What if the child was misunderstood and beaten up trying? Though the woman even seemed to have no intention of thanking and apologizing to the one she was accusing."
The others whispered sarcastically, "After all, is he really that crazy? Using jewelry like clothes. Showing off treasure has its limits. Ckk!"
In the midst of these talks, only the young man did not respond. She just silently looked at Iloania who was looking at her with a smile after she turned around.
