"That guy, what he said is that later a man may come to my place with a gorgeously dressed girl to buy two pingo fruits, and the money he will pay is not copper coins but gold, and then he will ask if he knows a triangular eye. The young man...that is, him. If all the above characteristics match, then give this to the other party."
Xiao Lin looked at the handed note, silently.
Somehow, I was sweating all over my body and my hands and feet were cold on a hot day, so I didn't dare to take it for a while.
Are you being plotted to death?
When Xiao Lin was distracted, the stall owner continued to complain: "I didn't want to get involved in other people's troubles, but since I said I would be paid, that's a different matter. It just so happens that the change will be treated as payment."
"...Should I say something, I didn't expect you, boss, to be very professional."
Xiao Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, the other person is just as snobbish as he thought he was, maybe even more indifferent.
It’s understandable that you don’t like causing trouble, but is it necessary to say it so bluntly in front of the person involved?
In addition, he dared to conclude that this note was the information transferred to him. After all, the specified conditions were too harsh. After screening, Xiao Lin might be the only one who met the conditions.
Are you sure you will come here?
"Master Xiaolin, are you okay?"
"Um?"
"You've been distracted since just now. Could it be that you're already homesick? I really can't stand it. If you're scared, you'd better go back and find Aqua-sama as soon as possible."
"...How can I be homesick?"
It's not sarcasm, but comfort, or worry. These are just the steps given by the venomous maid.
only--
In the dark alley, Xiao Lin slowly opened the note. There was no important information or instructions written on it, but only a few strokes.
A straight line. On the far left side of the line is the word [Nagyue Subaru], in the middle is [Kobayashi], and on the far right side is [Nayuki Subaru], and the two [Nagyuki Subaru] are connected by a line. Get up and wrap [Xiao Lin] completely inside.
And underneath this inexplicable relationship diagram, there is also a wading 8.
(as the picture shows)
So that’s it, that’s it.
Kobayashi seemed to understand the reason why he had to help Natsuki Subaru.
After all, generally speaking, he would never put himself in a dangerous situation, and the reason why he did not choose to leave this world was that he had no way to leave at all.
He is stuck in time!
Natsuki Subaru's time point is earlier than the time point where he is, so as long as Natsuki Subaru dies, time will go back to before Xiaolin came to this world.
Regardless of whether Natsuki Subaru dies or not, it has been fixed that Kobayashi, who will come to this world after his timeline and is not affected by the outside world, will definitely happen.
The only one who can change is Natsuki Subaru.
In other words, Xiao Lin was affected only after he came to this world.
The death of Natsuki Subaru represents the end of the timeline and will return to the beginning before everything happened, so even if he has left, he will be pulled back without knowing it.
After all, his arrival in this world is already a fixed thing.
In addition, he probably discovered this information and asked Natsuki Subaru to pass it on, because that reckless and hot-blooded young man definitely didn't have the brains.
I have to say that this Möbius strip symbolizing reincarnation is the true essence of the painting, otherwise I might not understand what is going on.
"I'm really smart."
"Master Xiaolin?"
"nothing."
In response to the waiter's concern, Xiao Lin habitually shook his head and sighed: "Liu Zi, I think we are going to be in trouble."
——————
"Have I properly conveyed the message that I have been reincarnated eight times?"
Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but whisper.
It's not that he's afraid or timid, it's a necessary worry for him.
After all, failure to communicate it properly can really kill you.
And that kind of fear and pain was something he never wanted to experience again.
This world is really too dangerous.
Walking in the alley, I almost got knocked out. If someone hadn't arrived in time, I would have been sent to reincarnation again by the angry trio.
To be honest, it would definitely be the most embarrassing thing to backtrack on in this form.
At this time, a rising voice came to my ears.
"Young man? Young man! I said, young man!"
"Ah, ah?"
"Are you okay? Your face is pale and your forehead is sweating. Are you refusing to admit defeat?"
"No, no, no, I'm fine."
Faced with the concern of the cheerful young man with fiery red hair, Natsuki Subaru waved his hands a little shyly.
Reinhardt asked doubtfully: "Really? You are not injured, are you?"
Natsuki Subaru's throat trembled, and he said nervously: "Thanks to the Lord for saving me this time, I am very grateful! I have great admiration for the Lord's integrity!"
"Okay, don't be so cautious. The other party escaped because they were in a three versus two situation, so they couldn't guarantee the advantage. If it were me alone, I couldn't guarantee that would be the case."
Reinhard smiled gently and did not take the credit on himself. The other party seemed to be trying to appease Natsuki Subaru's self-esteem from another angle.
What's going on, this cheerfulness index.
He kind of likes the man in front of him.
"Um, can I call you Mr. Reinhardt?"
"No need to address me, Subaru."
The other party approached naturally, which made the fearful boy with triangular eyes a little uncomfortable.
What is going on in this world?
Some people are too cold, and some people are too kind.
I don't understand it at all.
Natsuki Subaru, who could blab in the face of other people's indifference, seemed particularly reserved in front of the cheerful young man.
"Thank you again, Reinhardt. You were the only one who came here after hearing my call. It's really a cold world."
"For most people, the risk is too high to go against someone like them. In that regard, you were right to call the guards."
For some reason, Natsuki Subaru smelled like an uncle guard. It is the kind of person who cannot resist when faced with thugs, so it is best to seek help from them. It is very beautiful in modern society.
"Could it be that Reinhardt is a guard? But you can't tell at all."
Natsuki Subaru was a little confused.
In his mind, medieval guards should wear armor and hold long spears. It is best to be stern and not to let strangers in, and also have a murderous look.
However, the young man in front of him was too cheerful and completely inconsistent with the impression in his mind.
Reinhardt also explained helplessly: "I am not on duty today, so I am not wearing a uniform. In addition, I also know that my appearance is not rough enough."
Said to be a uniform, it was actually a knight's uniform, which was completely different from the guards' armor and spears.
Natsuki Subaru nodded and said, "Speaking of which, they seem to call you Sword Master."
Reinhardt sighed slightly: "Because my family background is somewhat special, I live a life that is almost overwhelmed by expectations every day."
That slightly distressed and headache-like expression didn't look like he was faking it.
Natsuki Subaru felt the same way.
Wait a moment.
He has fiery red hair, hanging eyes, is cheerful and handsome, and is also known as the Sword Master. He has a knight's sword with dragon claw marks on his waist...
There is always an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
[Lord Parker was also attacked by a man with fiery red hair, with just one sword...]
Shouldn't it? ! ! !
I really don't know how to treat you like a villain. I hope that the sword master can be more generous and not care about it.
Natsuki Subaru immediately said that they are not the same kind of people.
"Speaking of which, Subaru."
When he was distracted, Reinhardt asked again: "Your hair color and clothing are very rare. Also, so is your name. Which country are you from?"
Dark hair, sportswear.
In a middle-world society that wears armor and formal clothes, Natsuki Subaru's clothing is indeed a bit abrupt and conspicuous, and this may be the reason why he was targeted by the three gangsters.
In this regard, Reinhardt suggested: "The situation in the Lugnika Kingdom is a little messier than usual now. If there is any trouble, I can help if you don't mind."
"In that case, come with me to the stolen goods warehouse!"
"Loot of stolen goods?"
"Ah! Actually, I'm in unprecedented trouble right now. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me, Reinhardt!"
Natsuki Subaru quickly requested.
After Xiao Lin's reminder, he finally understood that hugging the thigh is the right way.
There is a huge gap in the difficulty of survival between the original world and this world. When you are on the verge of life-threatening danger, there are too many obstacles blocking your future.
think carefully.
Except for being killed once by a gangster and once because he failed to save Satila, the remaining six times were all killed by Elsa.
There were two other times where the guy Felt was driving up prices, which made him angry and kill him.
Maybe, to him, Elsa is just a landmine character who will die when he encounters her in the beginner level.
With the presence of Reinhard, a powerful guard, he could not only curb Felt's greed as a thief, but also prevent Elsa from getting angry and taking action against them.
"Please Reinhardt, just go to the slums in the evening, in the evening!"
"Yes, yes...why is it evening? I can accompany you right now. You're welcome, I'm on vacation now."
"No, no."
Natsuki Subaru rejected Reinhardt's enthusiastic suggestion.
First of all, the time he and Xiaolin agreed on was evening, because Natsuki Subaru's previous experiences made him understand that the transaction would only be carried out in the evening, and Felt would not come back at all before that.
For details, please refer to the last time, which was the seventh time.
Because they wanted to make a deal quickly, they unexpectedly alerted the snake and delayed the time, leading to Elsa's arrival, Satila's death again, and their own eighth reincarnation.
In addition, Natsuki Subaru didn't know whether his guess was accurate.
Can Reinhardt be strong enough to compete with Elsa the Sausage Hunter?
Are you being modest or are you really just mediocre?
Natsuki Subaru, who had been stabbed in the intestines several times, was almost afraid of Erza, so he only believed in Kobayashi who could defeat her after seeing with his own eyes.
If it was because of himself that Reinhardt died, he would be really sorry.
Especially when the other party just helped me.
Natsuki Subaru shook his head and almost begged: "Please! It's not convenient for me to tell the truth, but I hope you can believe me!"
"Well, I believe you, Subaru."
Reinhardt didn't hesitate.
To be honest, Natsuki Subaru was extremely moved, and at the same time, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
Is it really good to involve the other party?
But you can't get rid of the predicament by your own strength. If that's the case, let yourself test it!
Natsuki Subaru clenched his fists.
Elsa, you're going to be in trouble!
————
After parting ways with Reinhardt, Natsuki Subaru began to roll on the ground.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't suddenly get sick or have a brain problem.
it's necessary.
The purpose is to make yourself look down and out.
"You mean that guy Felt's house? It's just two alleys away from this road."
"Thank you, that's a big help, brother."
"Don't take it to heart, brother. Well, 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, Natsuki Subaru gently clenched his fist for the success of his battle plan.
Plan pass.JPG
In the first timeline, when he and Satira were wandering around the slums, the residents took a sympathetic and helpful attitude toward Subaru Natsuki, who was beaten by a trio of gangsters and his clothes were dirty and tattered.
But in the second time when there was no injury, everyone's reaction was cold and ruthless.
There is a world of difference between the two.
Thinking back on this, he thought about making his appearance look dirty, at least to win the sympathy of the slum dwellers.
Although it makes myself look extremely sloppy, the results are gratifying.
Now he should have grasped Felt's lair, or the location of her home.
Even though the transaction was in the evening, there was no guarantee that he would meet her at Felt's house in advance.
According to the residents of the slum, there is only a half chance of Ferut returning home. This is just a matter of luck, but it proves that he is also working hard in his own way.
I hope I can meet Felt before she goes to the loot warehouse so that I can complete the badge exchange using my mobile phone.
"But it's useless to think so much. Don't bother with the unanswered questions and let's go."
all will be good.
Natsuki Subaru's decisiveness shines at this moment.
Draining the hard mud from his body, Natsuki Subaru jogged towards the depths of the slum.
In the dark alley as usual, he jumped over a puddle of unknown origin. As he did so, he nearly bumped into a figure approaching from the opposite direction.
"Wow!"
Natsuki Subaru quickly ducked out of the way.
This caused his back to hit the wall, causing him to hold his breath in pain.
"Oops, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, don't look at me like this, my strength is my advantage... Oh?!"
He raised his head and prepared to show off, but after seeing who the other party was, Natsuki Subaru was discouraged at the end of his words.
Hearing Natsuki Subaru's high-pitched voice, the black-haired woman smiled softly and said, "Funny kid, are you really okay with this?"
She pushed up her hair that was hanging by her ears. Just a simple movement was full of beauty.
The other party is still the same as before, his movements are disturbing.
This was someone he never wanted to meet again, the woman who had disemboweled him twice.
——Elsa is right in front of you.
