Chapter 4 Forward! Slums

"Yuexing, do you think we should go find Satira or go directly to Felt?" Subaru asked.

"I think we should go directly to Felt. Don't forget that Satila can't remember you now."

"That's right, then it's better to go to the slums. Go directly to the loot warehouse and that's the Bad Ending. I don't want to die again."

"That's nonsense? Just run away."

"Hey, Yuexing, wait for me."

[ghetto]

"Yuexing, I have a good idea."

After saying that, Subaru rolled on the ground like a naughty boy asking for a toy from an adult.

"What did you do to make yourself so dirty?"

"Based on my previous experiences, making myself look like a poor person can get more attention from those people, just like the first time I met Satila, and then I emerged unscathed the second time, and everyone

The reaction was all cold and heartless, it was a huge difference.”

"I didn't expect you to be quite smart. It turns out you're not just a seed of infatuation."

"Okay Yuexing, do you look down on me? Let's wait and see. There is an uncle in front of you. Let's see how I behave."

"Hey, brother, let's find out where Felt's home is."

"That guy Felt's lair? Go two more alleys from this road." The man raised his head and returned.

"Thank you, you helped me a lot, brother"

"Don't take it to heart, brother. That - you have to live strong."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and disappeared behind the broken door. The sympathy in his convulsive smile never disappeared. Subaru gently clenched his fist for the success of his battle plan.

"Did you see it, Yuexing? Facts have proved that my conclusion is correct."

As he spoke, he patted the sleeves of his tracksuit that were stained with dried mud.

"I didn't expect that this method is really suitable for you."

"You don't feel good if you don't mock me, do you? I'm so unbearable? Damn, I don't know what animal I stepped on. Next, I should know the location of her lair, or her home...

…But the question is, will Felt come back?”

Fortunately, the location of Felute's house found out from the four residents was the same. However, Felute's chance of escaping home was only half, and she might not go home because she was worried about being tracked.

"Don't worry, Subaru. There's no point in thinking about it. If you can't predict the outcome, don't bother and let's go."

Subaru shook off the hardened mud and trotted towards the depths of the slum. In the dark alley as usual, he jumped over a puddle of unknown origin. When he did so, he almost bumped into a figure walking from the opposite direction.

"Uh-huh!" Ang quickly dodged and his back hit the wall, causing him so much pain that he couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Subaru! Is it okay? You are so playful."

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you okay?" came a young female voice.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't look at me like this. Being strong is my advantage - oh!?"

He raised his head and prepared to show off, but after seeing who the other party was, Subaru was discouraged at the end of his words. Hearing Subaru's high-pitched voice, the black-haired woman chuckled:

"Funny kid, are you really okay with this?"

"Yuexing, she...she is" Needless to say, Yuexing already knew that she was the one who disemboweled Subaru twice - Elsa

"——You don't have to be so afraid, I didn't do anything to you."

"Afraid... I'm not scared. What basis do you have for saying I'm scared..."

"odor……"

Ignoring Subaru's bluff, Elsa narrowed her eyes charmingly.

Smell? Subaru tilted his head and thought, while she twitched her straight nose slightly.

"When people are afraid, humans will emit the smell of fear. You are afraid now...and angry. It's all directed at me——"

Elsa happily revealed the other person's heart and looked up at Subaru. Subaru responded with a silent and friendly smile while taking a deep breath to calm his heart that was ringing like an alarm bell.

Facing Subaru's silence, Elsa's pupils narrowed even more like a snake. Even though she was so stared at that she didn't dare to move, she refused to look away cowardly.

Seeing Subaru holding on like this, she moistened her lips with her tongue.

"...I'm a little concerned, but forget it. We can't cause a commotion now."

"Really, what an inappropriate statement. If you make people too scared, won't it ruin your beauty?"

"Oh, how clever. It would be even better if you hide your hostility."

The outstretched finger gently tapped Subaru's forehead. Just doing this freed his stiff body.

Seeing Ang's shoulders rising and falling as he gasped, Elsa put her finger to his lips.

"Then I'll take my leave now. I always think I'll see you again. Also, the little brother next to me, you are also an interesting kid."

Elsa left an annoying smile, turned over her black coat and blended into the darkness of the alley. Just as literally, she disappeared. Watching Elsa leave, Subaru leaned against the wall tiredly.

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect to meet again. Before arriving at the stolen goods warehouse, was she wandering around this area..."

"Is this Elsa? With this kind of pressure, she really deserves to be a feared sausage hunter."

"Yuexing, you think... this enemy... is it possible for us to defeat it?"

"Not necessarily, but I can't tell who is right." Yuexing began to look forward to the battle with Elsa, and couldn't help but hold the Tang Dao in his hand with all his strength.

"Hey, Yuexing, where did you get this sword? I remember it wasn't there just now. Do you think you can do magic?"

"When Elsa appeared just now, I summoned it just in case it was needed."

"Oh, that's it. I thought... wait, you said it was - summoning?"

"Yes, this is my benefit as a time traveler. It should be called a protection here. Do you mean you don't have one?"

"I seem to have it, but I'm not sure. My ability to be reborn can be considered a benefit. I really envy you."

"Okay, don't worry about this and go find Felt."

Five minutes after meeting Elsa, they arrived at a dirty and dilapidated hut.

"According to the information, it should be this...but is this a place where people live?"

Standing in front of the wooden board that was thought to be the door, Yuexing held her forehead

The width of the dilapidated house in front of me is only about the size of two temporary toilets at the construction site. It feels like the Japanese proverb "A person standing only occupies half a tatami, and sleeping only occupies one tatami."

"Is this her home? Could it be a mistake..."

"Probably not, this is a slum after all."

No matter what, I feel pitiful when I think of a little girl like that living in a place like this. No wonder she would only seek to make money as her ambition, and the thought of forgiveness arises spontaneously.

"Living in a place like this, you have to shrink your skinny body even smaller in order to live. From this point of view, there is no way that her personality will be distorted like this. It's so pitiful, so pitiful."

"I've gone too far, it's really annoying. What do you think when you look at their nests, two little brothers?"

When he entered sympathy mode, a call from behind made Subaru come back.

In front of his eyes was the little blond girl glaring at him——Felt

The clothing and posture are the same as before, except that the clothes that are usually quite dirty look even dirtier. Maybe it’s because the escape scene this time is extremely intense.

"Why are you looking more and more sympathetic? Is it because you look down on the dirty little girl?"

"This is another sentiment...anyway, it's really nice to see you."

Facing a girl who didn't hide his displeasure, Subaru couldn't help but let go of the big stone in his heart.

It's really nice to see Felt again. I wanted to say that Elsa was nearby and I didn't know what would happen, but luckily Felt is safe and sound, which can be said to be a good sign.

After hearing Subaru's words, she snorted unceremoniously.

"What are you doing? You're a guest. Are you here to see me? From the way you dress, you don't seem to be a resident here."

"Oh, you don't treat me as a similar person, it means you have a good eye for others," Subaru agreed.

"The clothes of the residents here are cleaner than yours. Why are they so dirty? Is it too deliberate? To be honest, you are filthier than those of us in this industry, and more exaggerated than me."

This little girl is still as rude as ever. I really want to ask her to return the sympathy just now.

"So what's the matter with you? If it's a theft commission, you have to pay a deposit, and an additional amount will be added depending on the quality of the stolen content."

"The commission of theft... it's a very greedy business. Are you proud of your kleptomania?" Yuexing said disdainfully.

"This is a matter of means of survival. Otherwise, you can only sell your body. But what exactly do you want to do? Or is there something else? It depends on the situation..."

With a slight movement of his fingers, Felt increased his dexterity.

A small knife suddenly appeared on the palm of her hand like magic. This was a warning to Subaru and Yuexing. Depending on the situation, she would use this for self-defense.

In fact, if they fight Felt, Subaru and Yuexing have no chance of winning due to the combined skills of agility and knives, but he has no intention of fighting her.

Subaru raised his index finger and glared at her on guard.

"No, no, no, I only want one thing from you - I want to buy the badge you stole."

"No, how did you know that I stole the badge? Apart from the client, I should have not leaked the news. The stealing of the badge just happened. Even if you heard it by chance, my ears are too sensitive.

Bar"

"When you say that...I feel the same way. I'm not that careless."

"...It's better to tell a lie more nicely, little brother. Who will believe it?" Felt said with a stern look on his face.

"So, what did you mean by buying the badge? You and my client are not from the same power, are we business enemies or something?"

"Business enemies? Why not say parricide enemies? Rather, say they are my enemies?"

"I don't understand, forget it, this kind of thing is fine."

Compared to Subaru who was worried about how to explain it, Felt didn't care about these things.

She took out the badge with the dragon as the pattern from her arms and shook it slowly, as if to show off

"I will only sell things to the highest bidder, even though it may cause dissatisfaction to the original client."

"I have prepared more than twenty holy gold coins. I will use this to buy a badge with you."

Felt's ears moved. Although her expression was flawless, her tail was wagging happily, completely revealing her inner thoughts.

"I see, the bid is very high, but your strong rivals may not only have this price."

"Stop lying, she offered ten holy gold coins, right? It's not good to be greedy."

In fact, it is conceivable that Felt's first death was caused by greed.

"What, I even know this. My brother is really well-informed, but my client may increase the price because of this."

There was no other way. In order to save time, Subaru took out the key tool for negotiation from his arms - his mobile phone.

Facing the appearance of the weak object, Felut could only frown slightly

"Is this worth twenty holy gold coins? In my opinion, it's just a mirror."

"This is a rare [meteor], powerful enough to freeze time - look here"

Activate the continuous shooting function, the mechanical shutter sound and flash will operate continuously

"Wow!" Felt was clearly frightened.

Subaru handed the phone screen to Felt who wanted to complain.

"This is the power of this [meteor], it can leave such exquisite pictures. If you ask me, this is the only valuable item in the world. Okay, what do you think?"

After getting a little familiar with the functions explained by Subaru, Felt snorted through her nose. "Hmph——" She couldn't help but look at the phone in her hand, and after looking at it carefully, she seemed to have licked it before nodding.

"...It doesn't seem to be a lie. The guy and I are both in there. I agree that this thing is very rare, but is it really worth twenty holy gold coins? It's very suspicious. Let me state in advance that I don't have a brain.

Stupid enough to completely trust the opinions of the person you are negotiating with.”

"Then what do you want to do? It would be best if you can trade as soon as possible.

"In this slum, there is a place called the Stolen Warehouse. Just like its name, it is responsible for collecting stolen goods. The eccentric old man who lives there is very discerning and judges the value of items fairly. In addition, he has seen things

If there are many, I should be able to make a judgment even if I see a [shooting star]."

Sure enough, the plot has developed like this. It seems that going to the stolen goods warehouse is an inevitable event.
