Uvogin and Nobunaga

"Was it really an illusion?" Machi thought to herself.

She will be vigilant for the unknown, or people and things beyond her cognition ranger.

This is necessary for survival in Meteor City. Without vigilance and guard, you can't live long at all.

Meteor City is a place unsuitable for innocent sheep and cute rabbits to run around and live.

"I think it's time for you to sit down so we can talk, no…?" Loki asked in a light tone.

Machi was still vigilant, but her instinct told her that she should sit or she would regret it.

Sitting down and looking at the boy, she studied him carefully again. His dirty white hair was somewhat obstructed by the broken mask he wore. The mask only revealed a pale yellow eye with seemingly endless curiosity as he stared at her.

"Do you still believe that only pure will can allow you to survive…" he said lightly.

Machi shook for a second before shaking her head. Through this experience, she truly realized something. Although a strong will is essential, it's useless in front of immeasurable power. Machi was currently silent and looked at Loki with a complicated expression.

Obviously, he was just a boy she picked up due to her intuition, but why do they seem to be in two different worlds?

"What's wrong… Are you scared of what happened..?" Loki asked her with a smile.

Loki slowly got into a more comfortable position before looking at her.

"Do you want to know what happened…?" he asked teasingly.

Machi remained silent, but the slight sparkle in her eyes still exposed her inner thoughts. She wanted to know just what he did.

"This is actually very easy to answer…."

Loki's single eye sparkle with a cunning light.

"It's because of Nen," Loki said with a smile.

"Nen?" Machi said in wonder.

Loki nodded to this slight question. The knowledge of nen is not spread indiscriminately.

However, Machi will also learn of Nen in the future, allowing her to develop her unique hatsu.

Loki decided to use his own Hatsu to teach her a lesson and introduce the world of nen. Knowing that the Phantom Troupe was still here in Meteor City, Loki didn't plan to leave too soon.

Such an exciting plot was unfolding in front of him, and he couldn't help but become excited. Deciding this, he planned on disclosing a bit about nen to repay Machi.

"Listen to me well, Nen is…."

Just as Loki was about to explain his knowledge of Nen to Machi, the latter also pricked her ears to hear a noise.

*SFX* BANG BANG BANG

The old door made a muffled noise as if being violently beaten.

Huh!

This disturbed Machi's expression, which instantly fell cold. With a quick movement, a faint thread was drawn between her hands.

Above the thin lines, a faint luster flashed, and a hint of chill was exuded on this warm day.

Loki's expression also became somewhat cold as he stared at the door. He would take action if the opponent was really something she couldn't deal with.

Both were attentively guarding the door only to hear a rough male voice was heard outside the door.

"Hey! Machi! Are you there?!!"

Hearing this voice, Machi's cold eyes instantly relaxed.

"I'm here," she said as she slowly lowered the thread.

Seeing this, Loki judged that she must know the person outside the door.

Although it seemed she lowered her vigilance, she still had some awareness in case someone disguised or kidnapped someone she knew to deal with her.

In Meteor City, it is hard to say what will happen, and you can't be overly vigilant.

"If you are, then open the door. It's me. I haven't been kidnapped or disguised. The evidence is that there is a stupid swordsman next to me who can't kill a chicken with a sword." hearing this, another person spoke out.

"In Meteor City, have you seen a live chicken?! As long as you find one, I will immediately chop it for you in person!!"

"Oh, to put it bluntly, you can't even chop a chicken to death." the first said.

"You haven't even seen a dead chicken!! What bullshit are you talking about!" the other yelled.

The harsh male voice clearly knew how to show that his current state was safe.

It seemed that he might have annoyed the companion who came with him in terms of words, and the two started arguing outside.

Hearing the familiar tone and the sound of fighting, Machi put down all her guard and stepped forward to open the door.

"Stop arguing, Uvogin…." Machi said calmly.

"You come in too, Nobunaga."

Uvogin and Nobunaga walked in, cursing each other, when they suddenly stopped.

"Is there another person here?!"

After the two came in, they realized that another guy was in the room besides Machi.

Loki stretched his neck and looked at the two of them curiously.

"Is this Uvogin and Nobunaga when they were young?" he thought to himself.

The huge body and the look of a wild beast made it hard for Loki not to recognize him.

Uvogin's complexion is darker with an explosive head of black hair. He is tall and has strong arms and legs but is not as strong as his future appearance.

Nobunaga has a straight braid on his head, and his facial features are good with a pale complexion. The result was much better than his uncle look in the future.

Nobunaga and Uvogin are like two different extremes.

This was the first impression Uvogin and Nobunaga gave Loki.

"Machi, who is this guy?" Uvogin asked casually as he scratched his nose and pointed at Loki.

He didn't have any opinions or defenses against Loki.

To him, it is enough for Loki to appear in Machi's room and stand safely. That Machi can open the door to them safely and casually as usual.

This is not because Uvogin believes in Loki but because he believes in Machi's vigilance.

Since Machi felt that Loki was fine in her house, Uvogin also felt fine.

As for Nobunaga, he looked at Loki up and down and touched his chin. He found the mask extremely interesting but didn't comment on it but instead opted to look at it more.

"His name is Loki, and he lives with me for the time being," Machi said.

She then looked at Loki and pointed to Uvogin and Nobunaga.

"Uvogin, Nobunaga."

Although the introduction is concise, if Machi gives an introduction to each other, it means that everything is okay.

"What are you doing at my house?" Machi asked, looking at the two of them.

She still had some complaints about the fact that Nobunaga and Uvogin bothered her when she was about to learn about Nen.

"What are you talking about?"

Uvogin, who was observing Loki, was immediately unhappy when he heard Machi's words/

"Didn't you say to go to the landfill today two days ago to find something? You're late, Machi!" said Uvogin, dissatisfied.

"...That seems to be true." She said slowly.

She had completely forgotten what had happened with Loki and failed to arrive on time as a result.

"Well, since you are fine, let's go." The impatient Uvogin said while heading out.

"If it's a little bit later, maybe the good stuff will have been picked up."

Uvogin did not forget to turn his head and look at Loki, however.

"Your name is Loki, right? I happen to have a spare set of protective clothing. We can talk about size later." he told him.

Loki looked at him and smiled a bit.

Seeing this, Loki didn't say much as Machi squeezed the corners of her mouth and looked at the scene with interest.

"What?"

At this moment, Nobunaga saw Loki's stuff out of the corner of his eye.
