Neo pov

I am now looking at a girl who says she can give me money.

"Let me get to the point do you possess the semblance of illusion ? "

She asks I can see that she knows the answer to the question so there is no point in lying. As an answer I nod my head in agreement.

"Can you cast illusions only on yourself ? "

"Can you put them on other objects?"

She asks too many questions which I don't like. The girl notices my discontent and says.

"I have a way to make safe money."

"However, if you cannot cast illusions on other objects you are useless to me ".

I roll my eyes and as if to prove it, I pick up a brick from the ground and with the last of my aura I cast the illusion around the brick so that it turns into a piece of bread.

'I'm not sure I trust her and I don't know what method she's talking about'

' But if I can really make a lot of money, so be it.'

'It's not that I will lose a lot if I agree.'

After my demonstration she nods.

"In short we will use your illusion with my semblance".

The girl says and a body slowly emerges from her shadow. I try not to change my facial expression and I tense my muscles in case she tries something.

The figure from the shadow looks like a humanoid with a figure similar to the girl's, however, it is completely made of shadow. It looks like a boneless grimm. One eye of the creature is red like the girl's eye. The other eye is yellow-gold in color.

"This is my semblance and you don't need to know more ".

The girl doesn't talk much about herself.

'She doesn't trust me.'

And I'm not surprised at her. The feeling is mutual. However, this level of distrust and the fact that she needs money surprises me. She doesn't look poor. Her clothes are not expensive brand, but they are not rags like mine either. She looks like a girl from a normal family.

"For the plan to work out we need the abilities of both me and you," she says.

"However, I was the one who had to find you."

"And the only thing I need from you is your illusion "

"So I offer you 30%"

When she said this I snorted thinking that she was joking however when looking into her eyes I see that she is not joking my eyebrows involuntarily wrinkle.

'30% you are fucking kidding me'.

"Calm down we can do a 50-50 deal."

"However, you have to find a buyer for the jewelry yourself ".

The girl says seeing my anger. Hearing the words jewelry my eyebrows raise in surprise. The girl starts giggling at my reaction.

"You thought I was talking about lien".

"I can steal them myself".

"I'm talking about real money".

"Acquired without any danger to us"

I'm not sure exactly how much we'll make but I know how much my mother used to spend on jewelry so if she does indeed have a buyer then even though it's 30% I'll be able to live off it.

'Besides, she says it's risk-free'.

I ponder and sigh. I nod in agreement with the arrangements.

"Good "

"Rest needs you with a full aura tomorrow we'll meet by the park at midnight".

"Exactly the alley behind the landing site for bullheads exactly at 10:00".

"There I will explain to you exactly the plan".

Looking at the black chumanoid figure behind the girl. And I guess what the plan is all about. The black chumanoid slowly sinks into her shadow.

"Do you know where the meeting place is? "

Asks the girl making sure. I then recall the northern stop from which our family used to be picked up by a private bullhead and I nod in agreement.

"I'll meet you tomorrow won't be late."

Says the girl slowly walking away. When I see that she disappears from view. I slowly get up and walk around a few streets to lose any possible pursuit and head towards the hideout.

'I can't fully trust her.

'I'll just come up with a possible escape plan'.

'If she would cooperate with the spider syndicate'.

As I think I disappear slowly into the entrance of my hideout.

(???) pov

'It was easier than I thought.

'The whole conversation went as I planned.

'At first I was a little confused and embarrassed for an unknown reason. '

And when I saw that the pink girl was giggling while looking at me with amused eyes I decided to get down from the fire stairs I was sitting on.

'I immediately decided to get right to the point by telling her how much I knew about her.'

'Then I revealed a little about myself and the reason why I was looking for her.'

'Then I gave her an offer that couldn't be refused.'

'I told her how much she would earn and gave her a reason why only that much'.

Of course she didn't refuse. But I could see that she didn't trust me. To make matters worse, throughout the conversation the girl didn't say anything which made me feel out of place and I decided to end the conversation as soon as possible.

"Now we'll see how it works out tomorrow ".

I say to myself when I return to the clock store.
