《I Am An Imitator, Don't Show Me Your Skills》Chapter 10: Scarlet
Advertisement
Morning shone at the lawless town of Agrona.
I stretched my arms as I gazed at the view in front of me while sitting on the rooftop of the inn. I could see the wide green land surrounding the entire settlement from afar and the massive forest next to it where we came from.
As I looked down, I could clearly see the marketplace beneath. The marketplace was completely different from what it looked like at night, at the day, it seems a normal marketplace.
The slave shops were still open but no slave was being displayed outside, the same with the prostitute dealers who used to be scattered around the place last night.
People were starting to gather to buy their necessities from the shops that were not there when we arrived last night.
Even with shady businesses at night, I can say that this place is still functioning as a normal community.
As I watched them, I finally saw some humans joining the crowd, casually interacting with the demi-humans buying in the stalls.
There really are humans peacefully living in this place.
Then, where did the human slaves come from?
I shifted my gaze and wore my hood when I heard someone open the wooden door of the rooftop.
"Oh, good morning, mister." She said while waving her hand to me. She's the wolf girl last night.
"The view here looks nice."
She tilted her head sideways. "Really? Glad to hear that."
She hung the clothes she was carrying to the metal clothesline.
I walked towards her. "This place is quite odd isn't it?"
She shifted her gaze towards me and smiled. "Maybe? I grew up in this place so I can't tell."
"The moment I arrived in this place, this place was screaming 'we hate humans' all over it, then all of a sudden, I saw the kind old man peacefully living in this place."

"Do you mean, my father?"
"Real father?"
"Why? Can't you see the resemblance?"
"I can." I shrugged. "I guess?"
She chuckled. "I'm his daughter, a legitimate one."
I repeatedly nodded. "I see."
The awkward silence occurred and forced me to leave immediately.
When I came back to our room, I found Misha already awake and decided to take her out to get breakfast.
We strolled around to find a restaurant and to my surprise, this place really has decent diners around here.
We entered one, it's not as extravagant as the restaurant I saw back in Inizio, but considering the nature of this place, just the thought that there are actual restaurants here is already a feat of its own.
The waitresses were jogging table by table due to the huge amount of customers inside.
Both I and Misha walked towards one of the only available seats at the corner and the yellow-haired cat girl waitress immediately approached us.
"May I take your order, Mister?"
I read the menu and checked the food they had.
For some reason, since the day I arrived in this world, I can already understand the people of this world's languages and can read their written language.
Maybe, it's one of the perks of being summoned by that spell, ridiculous horns, and red eyes included.
While selecting our order, a red-haired guy stood next to our table and looked at us.
"There are no available seats, would you mind if I join the 2 of you?" His fox ears twitched as he smiled.
I nodded. "I don't mind."
He grabbed the 3rd wooden stool resting on the corner and put his hand on the wooden table. "Thank you very much."
However, 3 of the waitresses immediately approached him and repeatedly bowed.

"Please forgive us, Master Mehrad! We will provide you with a good table right away."
He just raised his hand and chuckled. "Don't worry, I don't mind. Besides, the people I'm sitting with right now seem like nice people. By the way, can I take my order now?"
As he ordered, the waitresses moved quickly.
I see, he's a big shot in this place.
I mean, it's pretty apparent in his air, black suit with neat red wavy long hair and aristocratic aura? This is what a big shot looks like.
"I can't decide yet, get his order first, don't let a customer wait." He said with a smile while pointing his hand at me.
The blonde cat girl waitress skipped toward me and bowed her head. "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
I shook my head. "Don't worry about it." I shifted my gaze at Misha. "Have you decided what you want to eat?"
Misha removed her hood and nodded while smiling. "Yes." And pointed her finger at the food that she wanted.
"We will take the one that she pointed out and I'll take this too." I pointed my finger at the beef stew.
The waitress hurried towards the kitchen.
While waiting I wandered my eyes around the crowded restaurant. "Is this restaurant always like this?"
"Most of the time, there is an abundance of demi-humans visiting here, because they all thought that this place is as lawless as they imagined," Mehrad answered my question while removing his gloves from his hand. "Or for some, they're aiming to challenge the faction leaders to dethrone them and get their territory. I can't blame them though, supremacy is a very thing that everyone wants to have, and this place is the easiest place to get it. At least, that's what they thought."
"Faction leaders?"
Rather than answering me, he just chuckled. "You are new here, aren't you?"
"Just arrived last night."
He put his hand on his chin. "I see, that's why. However, you don't seem like you've come here to challenge the faction leaders. What made you come to this chaotic place while bringing your daughter with you?"
Misha who was just silently listening to us shifted her gaze to Mehrad. I patted her head and smiled.
"I'm still too young to have a daughter."
He's about to say something but our food finally arrived and we decided to just focus on it.
After a whole month of eating the same grilled meats, we can finally have proper food, at last!
Just the sensation of the sauce of the stew drifting on my mouth made me want to sob!
This is what salvation feels like!
While on the other hand, Misha was just eating the food as if nothing is special in it.
I think there's something wrong with her taste buds.
