MC woke up in the morning to do some training, then decided to check out the city alone. Bi-chan and blacksmith is going shopping again, out of the 3 lords, 1 of them is female, who will also enjoy the shopping. MC gave the two poor souls a salute as they will be sacrifices (as porters).
MC morphed into his old human body to gather information about the city. Ogres have a bad reputation as being creatures that will attack others, which is why MC had trouble coming in. He walked around for about 3 hours before 6 people tried to mug him, which he dealt with. He got stabbed in the heart, but as he’s an ogre disguised as a human, it didn’t do much damage. He got rid of them and ate them, learning the job [Thief] and the abilities [Silent Stab] and [Escape Bomb/Smoke Bomb]. The group were all thieves and wore similar rings, seems like they belong to the same organization. He dissolved the remains with his slime ability then left the alley.
As he was getting out of the back alley, he stumbled onto a knight apprentice (a bishi) arguing with five men. MC didn’t really give a damn, but he noticed the rings on the men’s fingers, belonging to the same group that tried to mugged him. They started fighting, the boy was stronger, but he was outnumbered and soon overpowered. He was about to get stabbed before MC came to his rescue by stunning the men, not a totally chivalrous act as he wants info about those men anyways. MC treated the boy’s injury and the boy asked who his saviour was. MC just replies that he’s merely a mercenary. The boy seems to be related to the influential friend MC made (名鉄/Meitetsu)
