Since Itazura cannot go outside looking like a normal girl with fox ears and tail, I asked Moonlight to watch over her in which she quickly agreed with. I can"t bring her with me as long as she has still no proper knowledge and mannerisms like a human, and she can"t still hide her ears and tail yet. It might cause me unnecessary attention and trouble.I venture out wearing a hoodie and a face mask so that I can hide my ident.i.ty whenever trouble is in the area. I don"t want to just wave around my power on the public since it is one of the rules of Anonymous that letting the public know the existence of Magicians and monsters, it might cause unnecessary trouble since most people in this world does not usually believe it and might think us magicians as a bunch of crazies. It takes acceptance to kick in by normal people like me. But since I am no longer a normal human and now got entangled
in the world of magic, being well known is not a good thing for me.
I pocketed the flute that Moonlight gave me and take a few of good things like ballpen. Although I can bring knife, I am unsure to really hide it. I might get arrested instead. A ballpen can be used to stab someone in the eyes or ears if needed and with the newly learned skill, Telekinesis, I am now more confident. I also brought the Flamethrower gloves with me in case the Telekinesis proves useless.
Hachiko Statue was quite is quite crowded as usual and many young couples and teenagers are hanging around here. With this place crowded with tourists, locals and other people, I can"t seem to see any trouble in this place.
I sit down into the vacant bench under the tree and pull out my phone and check the chatgroup and ask them what they usually do in a work like this.

Jezra: ...wow, this takes me a lot when I was a beginner. Don"t worry, you can do it. Fireball...
Yaya: You accepted a monitoring job? Its been a while since I did that. Only Volta keeps on doing that job but if you are asking what to do, its quite easy, just stay there for a whole day and end your monitoring job once the sun sets.
Money Lover: If you want to ensure that you will be able to complete, just buy my talisman imbued with magic power! Just for 100,000 yen!
Catmod: Idiot, he is taking a job so its obvious he is trying to earn money and you want to do business? Ask the others!
Money Lover: Awww...
Nekomiya: Nyaa~Just stay there and ensure everything is safe. Any kind of chaos are needed to be resolved immediately.
Raigaki: Hehe~ Its the first time Neko-chan to give a serious opinion! wink wink
MEE6: (Raigaki has been muted for 10 minutes: Reason: Lewd)
Yaya: Oof, the hammer of the mods strikes again! Hahaha
Zan: I don"t know if I wanted to sympathize to you Raigaki.
MEE6: (Zan, you have been warned. Reason: Don"t sympathize on Raigaki, let him suffer)
Zan: Ouch, okay. Well Kazuma, since you are a beginner, just stay calm and observe your surroundings. Don"t randomly make accusations and as long as trouble is not in sight, do not make any unnecessary moves.
WanderingStars: Just be sure to be as s.h.i.+ning as me~
Huzzah: I don"t really know much about it since in my time when I took that quest, nothing happened until my s.h.i.+ft is over so I can"t really help on this one.
Rena: Its obvious, keep calm when nothing happened then panic if there is something bad going on. I did that when I undertook the job, it is pretty effective.
Huzzah: Effective my a.s.s, you were almost traumatized since a monster gets on rampage during your s.h.i.+ft!
Rena: Uwaaaah! Why did you say it? Its my precious secret!
Quisar: Just be rationale. Calmly a.s.ses the situation unlike @Rena here.
Tsugimoto: Just use your powerful spell once the time comes.
Volta: What area are you in anyway Kazuma?
Kazuma: I am a.s.signed on Hachiko Statue.
Volta: Hachiko Statue? That is where I lost that monster I was chasing last time... Could it be coincidence?
Nekomiya: No @Volta nyaa~ you might just be imagining it.
t.i.tan: If you find trouble, always use your fist, it works every time!
Catmod: Uwu, violence are not allowed.
Volta: Anyway, since I am more experienced in terms of patrolling, I will give you pointers then.
Rena: Oh! Voltsan is going to give pointers! Let"s pin it later for our uses in the future!
Tsugimoto: Agreed.
Yaya: Agreed +1
Jezra: Fireball +2
Volta: Here I listed a few of this things to remember.
1. Don"t act rashly and suspicious. Just stay calm and blend in to others.
2. Calmly check everyone and their mannerisms. This will help you find who are able to go and cause ruckus. This way, your job will be simple.
3. If there is trouble indeed but it was too much for your skills to do it, do not engage in a battle and run. Even though you failed the job, it can be retaken. A lost life cannot.
4. If the monster is a bit weaker but only causing mischiefs like monster kids stealing other people"s foods, drag them away and just reprimand them. Do not kill them unless thy go ballistic and hostile.
5. Theft by normal people, arguments by couples and other miscellaneous things you also need to watch out. Since you need to maintain order, that is also in your part. Try to limit your magic as long as you finished the dispute without showing your skill to the public.
6. Monsters comes in different gender, sizes and expressions. It doesn"t mean that he looks like a guy who can"t harm and ant be a good human. That person has a higher probability of being the monster but be sure to never act first unless this monster acts first in his own volition.

Kazuma: Thank you very much!
Volta: Anytime. Make the world safe.

I sighed inwardly. Indeed, this job should be handled carefully but also act like a normal person around this place. Not to act like an idiot.
I bought an ice cream cone and decided to chill out. Looking around these people are what was one of the main points you have to do when doing patrol. I licked on my ice cream as I observed everyone in the bench. There are many teenagers and tourists alike in this place. I also saw a few high schoolers that are clearly from cla.s.s but ditched it.
I suddenly remembered my high school days. Should I really go back? No, I can"t decide just yet.
Just as I was about to finish the cone of ice cream, a shrill scream from a kid came out of nowhere.
"Mommy! Help me! Umph!" a girl around six or five is being carried by a guy who immediately covers her mouth to avoid her screams from alerting people.
"Chihaya!" A woman around 30 years old tried chasing but was being stopped when the kidnapper shot the woman. Good thing is that the bullet only grazed her but she was wounded.
As soon as the sound of the gun was fired away, the crowd dispersed away, leaving the woman who was wounded and distressed.
I quickly helped the woman and comes into her aid and pulls out my handkerchief to tighten the wound on her shoulder that got hit.
"My... daughter! Please... save her!"
"What about you?" I tighten the handkerchief and my hanky that was originally white blue turned scarlet then deep red after absorbing the blood from her wound.
"This... ugh, is nothing! Just please save my child!"
I was conflicted. I am not a hero and I know that facing a guy who has a gun was clearly a police"s job. However, I need to ensure that my job is completed so ignoring this one is considered as failure. I sighed before looking to the woman.
"I will try my best, please call the police and report it. I will try to chase him!"
After making sure that she is alright, I nodded at her before chasing the guy who kidnapped a little girl. I pulled out my gloves in the pocket and prepared my body as I stare into the fleeing man.
"Haste!"
