After finishing the adventurer's registration formalities at the Spellcasters' Union, Mira watched adventurers walking back and forth on the main road.
There was a mix of ordinary adventurers wearing armors and robes, as well as some American Ninjas concealing themselves and Samurai's who looked ready to go sword hunting any time. Walking around like it was ordinary there was also a woman in nun outfit who wore a noh mask, and whose outfit was far more ridiculous than a mahou shoujo one.
("So, I'm normal.")
A person who was even beyond Mira's kind, was walking around the city like she owned the place. There was no need to fear anything, Mira thought as she looked down on her outfit and, becoming confident of this fact, she forgot completely that even more so than the outfit, her own looks were what gathered attention.
("Now then, what I should doo.")
It would take an entire day until the adventurer's license was issued and ready, so she was unable to enter the ancient temple which was her objective. Done with her business a little past noon despite thinking it would take a little longer to finish formalities, she had to think of what to do with the time that opened up.
That moment, a female adventurer wearing a robe with an alluring slit had passed beside Mira and entered a shop for spellcasters.
("Hm...I guess I need to investigate the city!")
After chasing the adventurer with her eyes, caught in her field of vision were unfamiliar spellcraft items lined on the display behind the window, dyeing her eyes with curiosity.
Since she had free time, she thought she might as well enjoy this real-turned world, and in high-spirited gait she entered the spellcraft store.
("I see, so this is the difference between the game and reality, huh.")
Impressed, Mira took a look at the spellcraft items displayed around her in the store. In the past, spellcraft items were for supporting people in battle. But now, among the lined-up items the majority were things related to cooking, lighting and other similar things related to daily life.
("It's all so interesting...")
She activated a device that sucked in air from the front and pushed it out on the back, which appeared to be some kind of vacuum cleaner spellcraft item, then with a smile started playing around with adjusting the strength of the wind that came out. Ahead of her line of sight, there was a suggestively-shaking slit.
Mira did not stop only at the spellcraft store but also toured weapon and armor, as well as medicine shops, and her eyes sparkled at all the progress. After she left the eleventh store, she found an unnatural crowd of people and stopped.
Before she realized, she moved a little away from the main street and was in the residential area where this crowd had gathered.
("What's with all that fuss?")
Whether it was spirit of curiosity, or maybe just a reflex, but Mira thrust right inside the group of people as if sucked in.
Forcing her small body in, she passed in between the people to arrive at the source of the incident soon after.
There, was a wooden house that had nothing unusual in it. Possibly because they were not taken care of well enough, the flowers on the veranda wilted lifelessly. However, the reason for the crowd gathering was not the house. It was the zombie sitting down and leaning against the house.
What seemed to have been a jacket, was horribly burned and ripped turning into leather rags which were caught on the zombie's shoulder.
"We are in the middle of investigating it. It's dangerous, so please don't approach."
