A man Jiyu's size carrying a spear over one shoulder attracted a certain amount of attention. People tended to get out of his way when he wanted them to. So while the whole town was flocking towards some kind of huge disturbance in the town square, Jiyu didn't have much trouble making his way through the crowd.

He had just heard the most absurd story. An android soul artist. If rumors like this were allowed to get out of hand, people would start believing all kinds of stupid things. What was next, smartphones learning to dance?

Jiyo kept on moving, gently but firmly parting the crowd before him, until he stepped out into the actual clearing where all this nonsense was going down. It didn't occur to him to stop because he might be intruding on something. Soul Artists went where they were needed. There were few barriers to someone like him.

He didn't say anything, he just kind of looked around, taking in the scene. Let's see. Dantes' description of the android had been...colorful, but it still wasn't hard to work out which one he had been referring to.

Stacia got the feeling similar to that of a deer that just made eye contact with a wolf.
