The aroma of the vada wafted through the air into Aru's nose. When he broke the outer layer, a plume of steam rose from it and blew over to his face. Aru was about to bite into it when he sensed something approaching from the northeast. 

To the northeast was one of the roads that connected the city centre with the city gate. Aru sensed a familiar negative aura near the city gate. 

Due to him dispersing his link all across all the main roads, he could feel the energy slowly coming towards the city and entering the gate.

'What's it?' He raised his head from the plate and frowned when he sensed it.

'A mixed energy that gives a bad vibe.' 

"Grandma Uma, I have to leave. Can I get a paper bag?" Aru asked immediately.
