"Bring that item to where you need it to. But be careful. Although you already have the item in your care, it still depends on you on how to protect it. It doesn"t matter if you owned it after beating someone else or something else. If they steal the item after you obtain it, then we have not responsible for the loss of the item and the payment cannot be refunded."

In that case, this package will be in need of protection. When he said that, I can feel that once I bring this box outside the store, I am quite sure to get a lot of attention especially for those people who are targetting this item in the first place. But then again, this would prove as good training for me to increase my evasiveness if ever this became a very dangerous situation.

"Anyways, as far as I am concerned, this will be a very valuable method to hide this item out on somewhere like dimensional storage magic. But I doubt you have one so the only thing you can do is to keep it close to you at all times and escape pursuits from enemies."

Sh*t, I think I am going to be accepting one death flag that will trigger different death flags. This is death flag itself and if it was accompanied by another death flag, then it"s death flags everywhere for me. Still, I need to save Mirai or her life is in danger. I just don"t understand why a simple errand like this could end me up in a very dangerous situation?

In the end, I still accepted it. I bid farewell to the old man when we reach back to the surface. Outside the store, the delinquents are still down so I sighed in relief since I am quite sure that many magicians who are targetting what I am carrying will surely come to me. I know that carrying a death flag like this will trigger the death flags everywhere hidden in the city.

I want to get help but sh*t, this. I think I need to hurry back into the hideout.

...

On the streets, I can feel different gazes directed to me but I am not sure where they are since I can"t let them know that I already noticed them. It was like the feeling of trying to hide the p.o.r.n in your bag from the disciplinarian or the students that were working on the checking of illegal paraphernalia. I made my steps faster while trying to blend into the crowd to avoid the gazes. I made sure that I don"t stick to a single person longer than ten seconds due to how hard it is to know who is the trustworthy guys and the dangerous guys.

The pressure while carrying this box just gets heavier and heavier. If only I have a s.p.a.ce magic spell that can be used to store this item. I don"t want to get killed while carrying something like this to deliver. Risking my life just to carry this somewhere? This is the most suicidal method that will give you the thrills in your life.

Activating [Haste] immediately, I made sure to keep on walking at a very fast pace while avoiding the people around as I try to blend in on the crowd. It will be hard but I don"t mind it as long as it guarantees my safety out of this situation.

Soon, not only I have found out that some people are already trailing me. Some even tried doing ambush traps but failed. I don"t want to get caught by them and I can"t show my magic in public so all I can do is run while my haste is active. I don"t have a vehicle and I think it is more secure of me to keep it with my embrace rather than put it on the basket of a bike, motorcycle compartment or somewhere you can store it in your vehicle.  Enemies are much more tricky right now so that only way for me to get away is to keep myself on the run like a wanted criminal.

There are at least 20 people following me already but they are not attacking yet. I think they tried to do attacks on me but due to the late reaction sometimes, I don"t get victimized by it. I even found a few people trying to ask some directions to me but I don"t want the package to get nabbed somewhere due to me giving a reaction to people asking for directions or other matters, so I decided to just keep it silent and never say anything to them before pa.s.sing through them like they were just air.

Then, someone who already did not get to be on patience is a virtue version appeared. They attack me and shouted gibberish. One of the bystanders whom I just pa.s.sed by earlier throws a knife towards my direction which means he is one of the pursuing people. I may have detected it but it"s fast, therefore, dodging is not a viable action. Before the knife can actually reach my body, I used the box to cover my body from the knife. And as expected to the legendary wood, the knife did not even make a scratch. It was like I was using a s.h.i.+eld instead of the box of items I am delivering.

WAIT A MINUTE...

If that is the case, isn"t this box going to help me out against enemy attacks? This item is made from the branch of Ygdra.s.sil after all. Another knife appeared while I was being chased but I quickly block it using the box and indeed, it was a very useful item for s.h.i.+eld purposes. Is this why the parcel never gets a mark or damage when attacked and will keep the item inside, preserving what it really looks like.

Due to the knives flying in the air, many people are having a hard time, many were wounded, some did not get to dodge but suffered a big wound on their bodies. I bet the people are already calling the police so I am quite sure that the people will get stalled from following me due to the appearance of the police but I don"t think I saved enough of their disrespectful times. I think I found the reason for me to increase my speed.

The crowd is already avoiding me and the people pursuing me since they started throwing weapons at me. It made me curse a lot due to the enemies getting more and bolder due to the people avoiding us like the plague we are. It was like the chase scene in an action movie where countless of enemies follows the protagonist. The only difference with me in my situation is that the enemies are trying to get the parcel I am holding on.

I can"t hide anymore in the crowd because they started to clear the way as soon as I pa.s.s by while the enemies are closely following me. F*ck, I am getting tired from running and the weapons being thrown to me are getting more and more frequent that I am now getting wounded by missed weapons that I got no time to block. Instead of looking back, I just focused on running and casting [HASTE] again and again on myself.

Then, a phone call connected me to Rena. I grabbed my phone and answered the d.a.m.nable call making it harder for me to defend and focus on running.

"Kazuma, are you almost there?"

"Sh*t, you should have told me that I will get death threats from the people who are targeting this item! I am still too young to die and you let me go in this errand?! I am not some stuntman and my defense is close to nonexistent. So why me?"

"You don"t want to save Mirai? I even paid for the item that is needed for her recovery. If you don"t hurry, it might turn for the worse on Mirai."

"d.a.m.n!" I put the call on the b.u.t.ton as I started running again. This is just the wrong thing for me, I saw lots of death flags for me everywhere. I shouldn"t have accepted this errand. I thought it was easy but it ended up as a run between life and death while protecting this sh*tty item. This is just a very bad day for me.
