On Pavement.
The two walked forward silently.
Miss Brave was silent for a long time.
"Um... thank you so much, Mr. Gu Mo." Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath, then turned her head and broke the silence, speaking in a very serious manner. He said this and explained his original thoughts at the same time——
"It's only now that I have the opportunity to say thank you. I'm really sorry. Mainly because my work has settled down in the past few days... I originally wanted to formally visit you in a few days to thank you properly."
This is not trying to make up for herself, but it is indeed her sincere thought.
She wanted to say thank you properly, because she was really grateful to this kind-hearted landlord. As a savior of the world of Ente Isla and a living saint, Emilia was not the kind of person who didn’t understand People who know how to repay kindness will naturally keep this kind of thing in mind.
After all, if the other party hadn't provided help, she would probably have been in a lot of trouble. Just thinking about it made her feel like she was in trouble to the point of death. Especially now that she is basically familiar with the rules of survival in this different world and knows very well what it means to survive in this modern city, she understands this more deeply.
"This is nothing. You don't have to worry about it all the time. Besides, didn't you help me before, Miss Amelia..."
The young man next to him looked forward with interest, as if he had been staring at the baseball field in front of him. His eyes wandered back and forth on the baseball field thoughtfully, as if he was searching for something. When he heard this, he waved his hands disapprovingly. He answered very casually.
This is actually a designed "equivalent exchange".
It's just that the girl opposite is completely unaware of this.
If there is no such "equivalence", the subsequent "exchange" will not occur, because Miss Brave will not easily accept help from a stranger, and will subconsciously maintain a basic distance and vigilance... Is this right? trap? Is this a trap? She would definitely doubt this subconsciously.
The sudden appearance of kindness, and for no reason at all, is totally unreasonable!
After all, Emilia's rise was not entirely smooth sailing without any setbacks. It's not even a conspiracy from the opposite demon clan, but a conspiracy from the same kind. There are many humans who hate her existence more than the demons and desperately want to kill her.
A farmer's daughter embarks on the road of revenge...
He is obviously from a humble background, but he is recognized by the Holy Sword...
The name of the brave is resounding throughout the continent, and he continues to gain great reputation and authority...
It can be said that Emilia's appearance, although it has brought hope and dawn to the vast number of people in the world of Ente Isla, has also made her a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people. They are even more powerful than the enemies on the opposite side. He hates the existence of brave men, so he naturally resorts to all kinds of dirty tricks.
Emilia has not encountered this kind of conspiracy once or twice... Even the dullest person has seen so much. This routine should always be somewhat resistant to this situation and maintain due vigilance.
But—
There is no one who can't beat the routine, there are only routines that are not powerful enough.
If the routine doesn't work for others, it only means that you haven't found the right way to prescribe the right medicine.
——Master of Mind, King of Lies, Person with Psychic Abilities, Trickster, God of Treachery, Mr. Gu said.
Therefore, the brave man probably did not expect that he would unconsciously pay the "equivalent" in advance, and then subconsciously accept the "exchange" later... She also accepted this subconscious understanding unconsciously. , I feel that I have indeed helped the other party.
In this case, it seems that accepting the other party's help in turn will not have too much psychological burden.
This is the reason why she did not reject or resist, nor did she maintain the most basic vigilance. She did not even realize this... After all, the mindset always exists, and Miss Brave is no exception. She was subjected to this kind of behavior. Influence.
"In that case, that day was really a lucky day for both of us..."
Emilia didn't know this. She just thought about it and thought that maybe it was really like this. She couldn't help but make a little joke, and her mood became obviously happy.
Fortunately, I was running around aimlessly that day. I happened to encounter the landlord being bullied by a group of gangsters. Then when I saw an injustice, I drew my sword to help... I not only helped the landlord, but also helped myself - only I suffered. Those little punks.
I don’t know whether they have been discharged from the hospital after injuries.
"By the way, there is one more thing, Mr. Gu Mo..."
After a slight pause, Emilia seemed to have remembered something at this time. She looked a little embarrassed. She glanced at the young man next to her with a slightly embarrassed look and said, "My current name is "You". Saemi"..."
"Um?"
"This...this...my real name is the one I told you before. I am indeed called Emilia, but it is not convenient to use this name now, so I gave myself another name." Miss Brave felt I'm having a hard time trying to explain my situation.
She didn't think carefully about it at the time, but after thinking about it later, she felt that she should hide her real name.
As the brave man who took back the world of Ente Isla from the Demon King, she was known as the "Saint of Ente Isla". She was naturally famous, so the name Emilia Justina was also widely known. To spread the word, the Demon King must also know it.
If it were in the original world, there would be no need to hide it.
But in this world, using your real name easily will only increase your risk of exposure. What if she hadn't found the Demon King by then, but was instead the first to notice her existence, that would be really troublesome... She didn't think she could evade the plot as the enemy was in darkness and we were in a state of losing power.
"Oh, I understand, I understand... Then I will call you by your new name in front of others from now on, Miss Huimei?"
Gu Mo had an expression on his face that no one knew better than him. He nodded very calmly and said calmly.
He was naturally familiar with this pseudonym. Miss Brave, who realized the problem, would have given herself such a name. The so-called "Yusa Emi" is the homophonic pronunciation of "The Brave Emi". It can also be regarded as a little easter egg.
It's just that his receptiveness seemed to frighten the other party, leaving the girl silent for a while.
"..."
"..."
Emilia stared at him with a strange expression, and forced a forced smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gu Mo, if you can understand..."
There seems to be something wrong with this development. I am still thinking hard about how to give a reasonable excuse to explain the fact that I have another name. By the way, I make a reasonable request, hoping to be the only one who knows my real name. The other party, don’t expose this information in front of others.
It's just that her words haven't been organized yet, but the other party already had an "I understand" and "I understand everything" expression on her face, and accepted it all very calmly...
Does he really understand? Still understand something?
I guess I just imagined some strange things... Sighing in her heart, Emilia thought that this was what happened.
But that's fine, this misunderstanding is still beneficial to me... There is no need to clarify. The landlord is just an ordinary person, and it is better not to involve him in this kind of thing.
After a second thought, Amelia no longer struggled. Her eyes only lingered on the young man for a moment, and then moved away again. While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived near the stadium. It was indeed very lively here, with a lively sports atmosphere.
There was also a circle of people standing around, watching.
Emilia's expression did not change, but she was vigilant. She opened her senses to the maximum possible, while trying to hide her remaining holy power. At the same time, she tried to search for possible extraordinary beings in the crowd... ...one lap, two laps, three laps, nothing found.
——Is it still too late?
——The other side has left? Or is it also hiding, and the exposure just now was just accidental?
A trace of anxiety inevitably emerged deep in her heart, but Miss Brave still tried hard to calm herself down and warned herself not to be anxious. Because according to the preliminary investigation during this period, although there is indeed magic in this world, there is no such concept on the surface.
The magic that exists in this world is different from the world in Ente Isla. It seems to exist as another conceptual thing.
In the world of Ant Isla, magic in the broad sense is generated by the consciousness of intelligent beings in the world, and then spread to the world like air... As for magic in the narrow sense, it is naturally based on this products further subdivided.
For example, the dark negative emotions of humans or creatures transformed from humans will form the energy used by demons and demons, that is, "magic power."
On the other hand, those positive emotions on the emotional spectrum are the energy used by humans and angels, the so-called "holy dharma energy". It has strong plasticity, and because it is completely tit-for-tat, this kind of holy power will naturally be harmful to demons.
——That's probably the case.
Emilia is still not sure whether this strange world also has such divisions, because she has not yet come into contact with those hidden levels... There is an objective magical environment, but ordinary people know nothing about it. Even if you know it, you can't use it.
In people's perception, so-called magic, magic, and concepts such as devils or demons are just products of fantasy and do not exist in the real world.
This was the result of her investigation.
Based on this, Emilia made a judgment that perhaps the real mysterious world was hidden beneath the surface of human society and would not be easily exposed.
She calmed down and continued to look around, then...
Brightened slightly.
Not far away from the stadium, Kusanagi Godou was laughing and talking to the handsome androgynous boy in front of him. The two sides seemed to be very speculative.
He didn't realize at all what kind of existence was standing in front of him.
