The photographers and fans pressed in closer as their cameras flashed like tiny explosions in Brigid's face.
Their excitement was so dense.
"Miss Psyche! Over here!"
"Can we get a shot of you holding this plushie? It'll be a big seller in the market!"
"Smile, please! No, wait—look more heroic!"
Brigid's breathing quickened as her hands nervously fidgeted at her sides.
A sharp poke in her lower back made her freeze.
Turning slightly, she realized it was the lens of a camera, shoved uncomfortably close.
Her body acted on instinct.
『I don't want these men so close to me──ARGH!』
A translucent green sphere shimmered into existence around her to gently push the crowd back without knocking anyone over. The barrier expanded slowly and created some much-needed breathing room.
The fans gasped in awe.
"Whoa! Did she just use her powers?"
"That's amazing!"
One of the photographers leaned in and inspected the glowing green shield.
"Hey, how does that work?!"
