I Became A Bat

44: Back To Society

The sun is looking down towards the place and bathing everything beneath it. That includes me who is currently standing right in front of a huge gate that blocks anyone from entering the huge settlement just a few dozen meters ahead.

"As expected, then heat from the sun is still the best feeling," I can't help but groan while speaking.

Unable to help it, my body starts moving on its own to stretch my limbs towards the air. I close my eyes to savor the feeling before I emit a groan once again. Ah! That feeling of as if my soul is about to get sucked away, how wonderful! If only this would last forever!

"Kid! State your origins!" A man's deep and authoritative voice sounds out right in front of me.

"Huh? Who is it?" I can't help but speak like that. It's the first time in ages since I was last talked to so rudely like this.

I open my eyes and my gaze meets the irritated but cautious eyes of a middle-aged man dressed in old-style soldier's clothes. His companion by the side who is also standing at the sides of the gates is also staring at me with wary eyes.

A guard? I wander my eyes around the place. Huh? I'm actually at the start of the line already?

"O-oh, sorry!" I quickly flash a smile towards him before I resume speaking once again. "I'm Mikhail. I came from Lush Field Town."

"Liar! There's no way you're from a shabby place like that! Look at the clothes you're wearing, they're too luxurious. State your identity or we'll have to take you away for investigation!" The old man screams at me with reaches out to the sword hanging on his waist.

Jeez! You don't have to be so loud, ya know? To actually try to pull out your sword too, isn't he just being too dramatic? Besides, I didn't lie though. I really came from Lush Field Town. I slept there for a night yesterday. Technically, it wasn't a lie but withholding some information.

But if this continues then it'll attract more attention. I finally got my hands on a human looking body after my Morph skill reached level ten. It'd be bad if they bring in someone who can't detect I'm a demon slash monster.

I look above the yelling guard and his companion to see the screens on their heads. Level Thirty, huh? Quite tough. As expected of the guards of the only city located at the center of this world's three continents. But if they're only at this level then...

Psyche energy flows into my eyes and transmits waves to the two guards and then-

Suggestion!

"Come on, Mister Guard! How do I look suspicious in anyway? Wouldn't it be better if you just let me pass through? It's only a waste of your time to find problems on a child. And besides..." A grin forms at my lips as I pause and then starts pointing at the people behind me. "A lot of merchants are waiting at the back. It's bad for this city's market if you keep holding me up like this."

A look of realization dawns upon the guards' faces as they begin to mumble some words under their breath. Their attention have now started awsy frim me. While they are doing so, I pass by them and then enter the city. Tsk! This place is too easy!

A dirty asphalt road, cement buildings, and decorated signboards inviting customers. The people passing by me are wearing tees and passing me. Rarely are those who are wearing medieval-like clothes. This place totally doesn't give off a middle-ages look as I expected. Is this how a normal city looks like in this world?

Some people are throwing me curious glances. I approach a shop with a glass wall and then begin staring at my reflection. Black cape with inlaid jewels, black overalls, and shiny black shoes. Coupled with my curly black hair, I totally look like a wannabe version of that famous cartoon guy wielding multiple swords at the same time.
