My Career is Useless in this World!!

Episode 104 - Brewing Storm 4 'Nameless Musician, Hal'

Yet, even though the children and the soldiers were on high alert, the disheveled man nevertheless walked straight to their table, and as if he didn't see the soldier in front of him before he bumped into the soldier, the soldier without moment's hesitation twisted the man's body and locked him to the ground.

The man screamed in pain! "AHH!!!!!!" His scream pierced through everyone's eardrums, further frightening everyone. Some people in the cafe, who was now panicked, screamed along. Some chose to run away from the cafe, and some people who were annoyed at the commotion formed into a group to surround the man and the soldier.

"AHHHH!" The man violently struggled to get out of the soldier's grip.

"Stay still!" The soldier used his other hand to push the man's head down.

All of a sudden, a stranger's voice shouted! "Open his cape! Open his cape!" A customer pointed! His shout, enticed everyone to do the same!

"Open the cape! Open the cape!"

'Cape?' Eugene frowned. 'Why cape?' She carefully stared at the group who surrounded the man. Some were smiling as if they were familiar with the man who was struggling on the floor. Some were even laughing at the man.

The soldier glanced at his comrade who nodded at him. With no choice, he pulled the man's cape apart.

Everyone who wasn't a citizen of Zene gasped! The man whose face was hidden behind the red cape had his face completely burnt! Not only was his face burnt, but his eyes were also white! There was no pupil, no iris, no nothing! The man's eyes were white as if he was blind!

Eugene's arms that she didn't know was blocking everyone behind her was suddenly gripped. The hand that gripped her arms had a fast pulse. Without even turning back, Eugene knew that it was Euria who was scared.

"Ohhh!" One customer breathed out in relief.

Everyone started breathing out in relief which puzzled Eugene and those who came from Xenperia. There were sighs of relief and sighs of disgust. No one panicked anymore, nor did they look scared.

"It's the time of the month?" One customer said loudly.

"He's back again..." Another sighed roughly.

One man in his 30 shakes his head. "No matter how many times the knights throw him out of the capital, he still manages to walk back on his own two feet." He slightly smirked as he said.

"What's going on? Time of the month?" Eugene muttered loudly. Everyone's reaction was weird. Why were the customers smiling all of a sudden?

"Oooo..." Euria loudly exhaled. As if she couldn't breathe, she started heaving.

Feeling the body behind her tremble with fear, Eugene shook Euria's grip off her arm and changed to interlocking their hands.

"It will be alright," Eugene said and gripped Euria's hands tighter.

"No... no..." Euria shook her head. She pulled their interlocked hands and turned Eugene to face her.

"We have to leave..." She said, her red eyes bore into Eugene's grey eyes.

Seeing that Eugene wasn't saying anything, Euria turned to Aernest and Ramon. "We should leave immediately." She repeated.

Eugene too glanced at Ramon and Aernest, shaking her head for the two to do something to calm Euria down. Without a moment's hesitation, Ramon tightly hugged Euria into his embrace, repeating for her not to be scared and for her not to look.

"Hey, guard! This man won't do anything! He has no arms, and he never fights back! A foreigner like him does not need for you esteemed guests to worry about!" The customer in his 30's laughed and advised.
