《I Am An Imitator, Don't Show Me Your Skills》Chapter 5: Inizio
Advertisement
I jumped out of the carriage and waved my hand towards Neville and Ekiya.
"See you around, Mister Casimir!" Neville shouted as their carriage continued.
I nodded and watched them disappear.
Behind me was a huge white fountain in the middle of a roundabout where countless carriages were passing by.
Based on what the adventurers I was within the carriage said, this kingdom is called Inizio.
As I walked towards the other side of the road, I could hear the sound of the carriages and the voices of the people walking down the road with me.
The people around me were wearing tunics or kirtles made of wool.
As I wandered around, I realized that the building here closely resembled the medieval times' buildings I read about in some books and of course, from the setting of the anime I watched back then.
Scattered around the area were numerous knights patrolling the place.
After a few minutes of aimlessly walking, I found the marketplace and bought some food in the stalls.
"100 Sierra for 2 sticks of pork barbecue."
The currency here is called Sierra and every coin I have had numbers carved in them indicating their value.
I handed one of my change coins with 100 carved in it. "Here."
After eating I decided to walk around a little more and just like on Earth, there were some park performers scattered throughout the park, but a majority of them were not dancers or singers, rather, they were more on magic shows.
They were some doing party tricks using their elemental magic.
Some performed a water dance in front of the children.
[Skill [Water Magic] was acquired.]
Some did some juggling performances by propelling the balls to the air using their Wind magic.
[Skill [Wind Magic] was acquired.]

Some demonstrated some flashy dance numbers while brimming with electricity all over their body.
[Skill [Electricity Magic] was acquired.]
I clapped my hand as I watched the performers showing their elemental magic.
However, some were just chilling while sculpting using their Ice magic.
[Skill [Ice Magic] was acquired.]
This place was much wider than I had expected, there were a lot of things happening around.
Based on my observations, elemental magic is commonplace in this world, just walking down the street I have already seen tons of elemental magic being used.
For example, using fire magic to light up a stove or furnace, using water magic to water the plant, and using Ice magic to make some cold beverages.
However, not everyone can use their magic as well as the other, I think that's what made the distinction between each person.
"Let go of me!"
While walking down the street and observing the people around me, I heard a voice coming from a girl from a distance.
And being the curious cat that I am, I immediately walked where the sound came from and found 3 knights dragging a girl.
Yep, no matter how much I look at it, it looks bad.
I exhaled first before approaching them. "Yo."
The 3 knights and the girl they were dragging instantly turned their gazes on me.
This is awkward.
"Is there a problem, young man?" One of them approached me and removed his helmet, he shook his head to settle his brown hair and looked at me with confidence.
"Nothing really, where are you planning to take that girl?"
"This demon committed a crime, we're sending it where it belongs."
Demon?
Now that I've got a good look at her, she has brown horns on her head, peeking out of her ash gray hair, and one of them was broken.

"Do you mean, she?"
"A demon is not a person."
Woah! Woah! Hold your horses, buddy! That sounds like a very bad predicament.
"Get back here!"
The next thing I felt was the desperate hug of the demon girl on my waists while shivering.
"How does that thing manage to escape from both of you?"
"She used her magic on us, Captain Miguel."
No, she didn't, they intentionally let her go.
And that alone is already saying a lot.
Captain Miguel turned his gaze on me. "Now, now, young man, as you can see, I still have more things that I need to do. How about you give that demon to me and just go home like the good citizen that you are?"
The girl hugging me shook her head while pushing her face on my waist.
"May I know what crime this girl did? You know, like a normal citizen that I am, I just want to know."
Captain Miguel chuckled. "That thing killed a knight."
I see.
I gently pushed the girl and sat in front of her, her terrified blue eyes immediately shifted to me.
I smiled. "Is it true?"
Tears immediately came out of her eyes as she repeatedly shook her head. "I didn't mean it, he was hurting me." She said using a cracked voice.
"Thanks for your honesty." I patted her head and stood up.
Captain Miguel shrugged. "See? What did I tell you?"
I chuckled. "You're right, forgive me for doubting you, Captain Miguel." I pushed the demon girl and hid her behind me. "However, I'm afraid I can't let you have her."
Man, my big brother's instinct kicked in again!
"Oy, oy, aren't you a little bit arrogant, young man? Do you know who you are talking to?" He pulled his sword. "Know your place."
This guy.
"I should be the one asking that question, Captain. Do you know who you are talking to?"
"Huh? Are you messing with me?" The irritation was completely audible in his voice.
"Messing with you? No. The truth is, I'm trying my best to spare your life." I activated my Mana concealment and released just a little portion of my mana manifestation just enough to scare him away. "Now, the real question is, do you really want to fight for it?"
The best thing that I've learned from cosplaying was to act like a big shot, even though I'm not.
I never thought I could finally find a good use for my cringe-acting skills.
He looked at me with great astonishment in his eyes as his hand holding the sword slowly fell.
Yep, that's my cue, time to leave this stupid place, before more of them arrived.
If stealthiness has a grading system, I will definitely get a big fat F.
I took the hand of the demon girl and pulled her with me.
"Let's go."
Even with confusion visible on her face, she immediately nodded and followed me.
Man! That guy was scary as hell!
