“That’s right! You should know how exciting it is to travel through time, right?” Natsuki Subaru replied proudly.
"It's not that I can't understand, but are you alright like this? Let me treat you."
Even now, Subaru Natsuki is still covered in blood, and his body is covered in dust and injuries.
He was just punched and kicked by thugs, yet he's still so energetic; it seems his muscular physique is no joke.
"Huh? You can still treat it?"
"No problem, it's healed."
Shichen raised his hand, and a green light appeared in his palm. The light shone on Natsuki Subaru, and the injuries on his face visibly healed.
"Wow, you have that kind of skill? That's impressive." Parker nodded in admiration.
"What is this?" The girl asked, her eyes showing surprise.
She could also be treated, but the effect would never be as good; the bloodstains were completely gone.
"It's just a small skill," Shi Chen chuckled.
"Minor skills? Aren't they magic?"
"It's not really magic, is it?" Shi Chen smiled and shook his head.
He wasn't lying to her. In Konosuba, this was a skill, not magic, although in reality, it was no different from magic.
“It’s not magic.” The girl nodded, believing Shichen’s words.
"Wait? Magic? Skills? I knew it!" Subaru Natsuki became excited again.
"What's wrong with him?" the girl asked, looking at him strangely.
"Haha~ He's really funny." Parker laughed.
"Don't worry about it, he's just like that sometimes, acting a bit crazy," Shi Chen waved his hand and explained casually.
"You can't say that to me. You should know why I'm excited, right? Hey, can I learn it? Is that okay?" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but ask Tokiomi.
Having finally arrived in another world, a world of magic at that, as a transmigrator, he naturally wanted to learn, and even felt a touch of pride.
Since he's a time traveler, he might have a lot of potential.
"Hehe, well, that depends on your aptitude." Shi Chen didn't point out that his aptitude was limited.
In the world of Konosuba, it would indeed be easy to learn, as long as you can level up. But in this world, it's not so easy.
And indeed, he didn't have much talent.
"I must be incredibly talented!"
"We'll see when the time comes. Right now, we need to help this young lady," Shi Chen said.
"Little girl? Me? I'm not a little girl." The girl showed a dissatisfied expression.
"We don't even know each other's names yet, so how about we introduce ourselves first? I'll go first, my name is Natsuki Subaru." Natsuki Subaru gave himself a thumbs up, pointing enthusiastically.
"My name is Shi Chen," Shi Chen simply said.
"Subaru Natsuki, Toki... what a strange name. My name is Puck!"
"I already know your name."
"Haha, it's rare to see someone as easy to communicate with elves as you. And your black hair and black eyes are also quite unusual. Where are you from?" Puck asked casually.
"Hmph, I knew you'd ask that. According to custom, I come from a small country in the East!" Natsuki Subaru replied smugly.
"A small country in the East? Judging from the map of the continent, that must be Lugnica, right? There is no country further east than this far eastern country."
"No way, really? The Far East? Could this be some kind of golden superpower that everyone dreams of?"
"Don't you know where you are? And your strange clothes, appearing here out of nowhere... You're actually quite dangerous, aren't you?" The girl suddenly frowned, becoming wary of Tokimitsu and Subaru.
“Um…” The girl’s sudden attitude left Natsuki Subaru a little stunned.
“It’s all settled. They don’t mean any harm, and he… you know what he is, right?” Parker kindly offered his help.
“He…” The girl looked at Shi Chen with a subtle expression.
"What are you talking about? Can you stop with the riddles?"
“It won’t hurt to tell you.” Shi Chen looked at Esther, who had remained silent.
Esther nodded, closed her eyes, and then her whole body radiated light, transforming into a dazzling silver steel sword.
"Este is an elf."
"Huh—!" Subaru Natsuki exclaimed in surprise, staring incredulously at the sword in Tokiomi's hand.
"What is this? A sword? An elf? A sword spirit?"
“That’s right, so I’m an elf user, just like her,” Shichen said to the girl.
“This is really…” Parker shook his head and sighed.
"I've never heard of a spirit that can turn into a sword before."
"Like me... Are you a swordsman?" The girl stared at the sword in Shichen's hand and asked with a serious face.
“Swordsman? I don’t think so, I’m a summoner,” Shi Chen said.
"Summoner? What's that?"
"Well, there's no need to ask so clearly. You just need to know that we're not bad people, right?" Shichen smiled and made Esther return to human form.
She still held Shichen's hand, like a puppet, silent, just watching the girl.
He didn't need to explain much; no matter how surprised they were, they couldn't possibly guess that he wasn't from this world.
"I'm sorry, I asked too many questions." The girl lowered her head in apology, then looked up again.
“Your black hair and black eyes are common features of refugees from the South, but in Lugnica, this is evidence of an upper-class lifestyle. This dress I’ve never seen before is also very finely made... You must be nobles?”
“Huh? A nobleman…” Natsuki Subaru looked at Tokiko with a strange expression.
"Is not it?"
"Of course not. In the end, we are not nobles," Shi Chen replied, shaking his head.
"Is that so...?" The girl's face, which had been full of confidence, flushed with shyness.
"So cute..." Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but say when he saw her like this.
"Indeed," Shi Chen nodded with a smile.
"Cute...please don't say that about me."
Hearing the two people's praise, a shadow fell over the girl's face, and her tone became softer.
“This…” Natsuki Subaru looked at the time, at a loss, seeking an answer.
Shichen could only shrug in response.
"Sigh." Parker sighed helplessly when he saw him like this.
"Well, speaking of which, you haven't introduced yourself yet. We don't even know your name," Natsuki Subaru could only change the subject.
“Me? My name is… Satella.” The girl, Satella, paused for a moment before speaking softly.
"what?"
“I don’t have a surname, just call me Satella,” Satella repeated, her voice devoid of emotion.
"this......"
Even if Subaru Natsuki was incredibly oblivious, he could sense the distance in Satella's tone, which made him hesitant to offer any comment.
"Ugh, what a twisted sense of humor," Parker muttered helplessly.
Only Shichen heard its words, and he knew what it meant.
"Let's get back to the main topic. Do you need our help?" Shi Chen, of course, didn't call Satella by her name directly.
“Yes! We’re willing to help,” Natsuki Subaru added.
“Will you help me? No, I can find it myself.” Satella shook her head and refused.
“Really? Your elf wants our help, and do you know what the thief really looks like? We do,” Shichen said.
“I…” Satella was speechless.
“Let them help,” Parker said, turning to Satella.
“Parker…”
"It's still very dangerous here, and it's almost night, so I won't be able to protect you anymore."
"Nighttime? Protection? What do you mean?" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but ask.
Parker rolled over in the void and replied, "It's simple. I can't come out at night. Don't let my cute appearance fool you. I'm an elf, after all. Just showing myself consumes a lot of mana. So at night I go back to the crystal I reside in to store energy for when the sun comes out... Basically, the time I can appear is between nine in the morning and five in the afternoon."
"Is this some kind of civil servant?" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but retort.
"Are there really elves like this in this world? Then Esther..."
“My Esther is different; she can exist forever,” Shichen said.
"Wow, that's amazing! This is the kind of spirit I've always imagined. But we're the same kind of spirit, so why is there such a big difference between us? I'm so envious," Natsuki Subaru said enviously.
"Haha~ I'm really sorry to disappoint you." Parker smiled.
"I don't mind~ So let them help out, in case there are thugs or something, they can take the hits."
"You really do mind, don't you!"
Chapter 476 The Habitual Head Pat
"Speaking of which, what did you lose?" Shi Chen asked Satella as they left the alley.
Satella ultimately couldn't refuse Parker's suggestion and asked Shichen and the others for help, since they did know more about the thief than she did.
"It's a badge."
"A badge? Is it important?"
“Yes, it’s very important.” Satella nodded.
