The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Lily and the Gaze [1]
****

Leaving the streets quickly to finally free himself from the stares, Amon took a sharp turn into a secluded alleyway.

Finding a hidden corner where no one could see him, he settled down there.

And with that, he instantly pressed a tiny button under the curved handle of his cane.

The vision of his eyes instantly glitched and after two or three seconds, his whole eyesight blurred.

He felt a change of scenery and the blur finally started to recede, returning his clear vision to him.

But this time, the scenery was changed.

He immediately perceived how the world around him was thousands of times bigger now.

Right at the bottom of his vision, he saw a jungle of thick black grasses that stretched far and then took a sharp downfall.

It was Lily’s hair.

He had planted the device into her hair.

He quickly ignored everything else and focused in front of him, seeing the gargantuan street now from where he had just turned a few minutes ago.

Focusing ahead, his vision remained motionless for several minutes, waiting for the sources of the stares to come back.

And finally, after five minutes, he noticed three presences taking a turn and arriving in the street.

They were three men with lean and athletic bodies.

All of them had black hair and their eyes were covered by black glasses.

All of them were wearing formal suits with one of them even having a katana in his hand.

Just from looking at them, he instantly concluded that two of them were clovists while one was an armentists.

He couldn’t gauge their strength or their elements.

They walked towards him, or more accurately Lily, causing him to narrow his eyes.

‘What do they want with her? Do they know her?’ He questioned internally.

Arriving before her, the one with the sheathed katana in his hand used it to dab her cheeks with it.

“Stand up girl.” He kept tapping it with her cheeks.

Due to being in her hair, Amon was unable to see the expression on her face.

But he felt her body jolt awake and her head raised.

“Y-y-ye!” She answered quickly and stood up.

The man receded his weapon, but not without a disgusting remark.

“Filthy brat, I can’t believe that we don’t just sell her to the man that comes every day to feed her.”

Anger flared up in Amon but he was surprised when he suddenly felt his vision grow weak.

It glitched and blurred again while his head hurt.

Suddenly, it got clear again but to his disappointment, he was back in the streets.

It did not even take a second for him to realize that he was almost empty of mana.

This was a new thing as he remembered that the system didn’t say anything about the vision requiring mana.

‘I guess it was for me to figure out…’ He heaved a sigh.

If he had to make an estimation right now, he could probably watch through the camera vision for 7 minutes before he ran out of mana.

Furthermore, it seemed to be that after accessing the vision one time and leaving it, the dart would become dead.

Meaning it could no longer be accessed.

Fortunately, at least he could sense her location by using the 2 darts.

Using a little bit of mana, he sensed Lily’s location moving from her original street.

Her location showed her going further in the secluded and dark streets.

Dismissing the location to save mana, he finally realized who Lily was.

A Child Slave.

This was not a modern world like his.

Even with all the technology and mana cores, this world was still medieval at its core.

And slavery was something common in those times.

Though child slavery was a tad bit rarer than adult slavery and even the work was not that grueling, it still existed.

And from what he had seen, Lily was a child slave. Not just an orphan surviving in the streets.

Judging from the attires of the men and their stealth level, Amon knew that she probably belonged to a large slave market or business.

He knew that he would just die from those 3 guards head on let alone take Lily and escape.

Considering they were big, he could not hide her as well.

But it wasn’t like he would just forget Lily now and let her be with them.

No.

She was like a younger sister to him.

If he had to take on the market where she and partially destroy it, then he was ready for it.

But that would take a large amount of planning and setups first as he would obviously die in a straight fight.

He couldn’t just rescue her right now.

He sighed deeply, tired and stressed.

He had really hoped that this would be easy and he could just adopt her normally. But it seemed to be that this wasn’t going to work.

‘I need to get str-‘ His thoughts halted.

‘Wait..’

He just realized right now that he had forgotten to check the changes in his body after coming back from the dungeon.

Restraining from cursing himself, he stood up and started to leave the streets.

It was dangerous here now that the night had set in, so he would just check his system after returning home.

As he left, he kept Lily in his thoughts.

‘I’ll get you from them….I promise.’

***

Amon arrived back at this apartment, finding his sister already asleep on the sofa.

She was still wearing her uniform so she was probably so tired that she had slumped down on the couch.

Student Council duties were truly hard.

He smiled with pity and quickly took a blanket, placing it over her.

Fortunately, she had at least eaten the dinner he made for her.

Taking a quick shower, he got into his bed and tried to think of some plans before sleeping.

Unfortunately, none came to his mind at that moment and before he knew it, he was asleep.
