Capítulo 286: Interlude Chapter 5: Employment Opportunity

The afternoon was getting late and into a less crowded street the Asobi and Jotou wandered into. A lollipop to each, they stuck together whilst glancing about.

A man with a greying beard and tattered clothes sat under the shade of a roof of an abandoned building. His hat beside him with a few copper pieces within while his eyes sagged, getting sleepier by the second.

As the two passed by, only then did Asobi notice the homeless man. She stopped to her left, pausing Jotou in her steps. Asobi reached into her illusory outfit to fish inside her blazer pocket.

She leaned down to the man with a polite smile and placed the five silver pieces she had into his hat. The homeless man opened his eyes to catch a glimpse before Asobi returned to Jotou.

Just as Asobi began walking forward, Jotou swiftly twirled on her toes back around and leaned to flip an armite into the man's hat; she twirled all the way back and walked along with Asobi without the magician noticing.
