Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Big brother... big sister..."

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen squatted down and looked at her with a smile.

"Um, this!"

The little girl stretched out her hands, holding two red flower-shaped ornaments in her small palms.

"This is?"

"Thank you, thank you for the gift..."

“A thank-you gift…” Satella stared blankly at the flower ornaments.

"Please accept this; it's something my daughter made by hand," the lady said as she walked over.

“This…” Satella hesitated, appearing flustered.

Seeing this, Shi Chen first picked up a flower and then pinned it to her chest: "Thank you, little sister, I like it very much."

"Hmm! Big sister?" The little girl looked at Satella.

Satella glanced at the time, and seeing him nod, she reluctantly accepted the jewelry and, like him, pinned it to her chest: "Thank you, I'm very happy."

As she finished speaking, Satella revealed a stunning smile.

That smile was so beautiful that even a little girl would shyly look away.

Not to mention others.

......

The sky was dim, and on a road far from the main road, a somber atmosphere filled the air. It was silent, and the presence of humans and other creatures seemed distant.

Weird and creepy.

This path was the only way to the slums, and they embarked on it.

"Um... are we really going? Isn't it dangerous? The boss emphasized it several times." Natsuki Subaru trailed off last, his voice trembling.

“You can wait for us here too,” Shi Chen said, glancing back at him.

"May I?"

“Well, this is ultimately my business, and I can’t force you to do it.” Satella nodded.

“This…” Natsuki Subaru hesitated.

Although he was scared, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to help the beautiful girl.

Why didn't this time traveler have any special abilities like the protagonists in novels?

"You still say that?" Shi Chen couldn't stand it anymore and swung his hand, chopping her head off.

"It hurts... When is it?" Satella covered her head, looking at him in confusion.

"Since I said I would help you, I will definitely keep my word. Besides, I'm very strong, so don't be shy with me."

"I......"

“That’s right! A gentleman’s word is as good as his bond! I’m a man of my word!” Natsuki Subaru added.

"Hehe~ Don't worry, even if you get crippled, I can heal you. Just don't die secretly."

"I can't relax at all, okay?!" Natsuki Subaru complained.

"Haha~ Then I'll leave my daughter to you. I can't go on anymore." Parker suddenly leaned against Satella's neck. Its gray appearance shimmered, and its figure was blurry.

"Parker, thank you for your hard work. I will continue to work hard."

"Hmm... Don't push yourself too hard. If anything happens, call me out even if you have to use Oed," Parker weakly instructed.

“I know, I’m not a child. I’ll handle my own affairs properly,” Satella protested.

"That's hard to say... Please, Shichen." Parker's small body turned into particles of light and disappeared without a trace.

Satella then carefully put the crystal in her pocket; that crystal was the place where Parker stayed.

"That's really impressive... But why didn't Parker ask me for help?" Natsuki Subaru exclaimed, then asked with dissatisfaction.

"Don't you have any self-awareness?" Shi Chen retorted.

"why is it like this......"

"Haha~" Satella covered her mouth and chuckled.

Chapter 479 The Gut Hunter

"I know who the brat who stole Satella's things is! And I know where she is!"

At the entrance to the slums, Toki and Satella watched as Subaru Natsuki excitedly ran back from the slums.

Esther has been taken back by time and turned into an imprint.

Her appearance was rather troublesome in the slums, as was Satella's, so she now simply wore the hood of her robe.

The slum is quite large, making it both easy and difficult to find the thief.

People in the slums should know each other; they could easily find out the truth by asking around, but the poor might not necessarily tell them.

Especially Shichen and Satella.

The two men's clothing and appearances clearly indicated that they were not ordinary people, which would cause the poor to feel resistant or even hostile.

Let alone telling them, it would be good enough if we didn't become their enemy.

But Natsuki Subaru is different. He just got a good beating from those thugs. Although Tokichi has healed his wounds, he's still filthy and wearing simple sportswear, which will definitely make him popular with the poor.

Now it seems that it was indeed true.

"Then let's just go there."

Toki and Satella followed Subaru Natsuki toward the destination he had discovered.

After walking for about ten minutes, the stolen goods warehouse—the name of the building that Natsuki Subaru had found out—came into view.

"This...is it that big? Is the thief that skilled? Is he a legitimate professional thief?" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but ask.

“How could that be? If being a thief was a legitimate profession, then there would be thieves everywhere,” Satella retorted irritably.

"That's true... But now I know why it's called a warehouse instead of a hut. If it's full of stolen things... then it's hopeless."

“Indeed.” Shi Chen nodded.

Natsuki Subaru wasn't referring to the people being beyond saving, but rather the stolen items. Stolen goods are regularly destroyed; it's impossible to fill such a large building with them.

The warehouse of stolen goods in front of us had a dignified appearance that belied its vulgar name. It looked solid and sturdy. Although it was a single-story building, the area of ​​the building was comparable to that of a multi-family house.

It is backed by a tall city wall and located in the deepest part of the slum.

"What's that tall wall in the back?" Natsuki Subaru asked.

“That’s the defensive wall of the capital,” Satella explained.

The capital city was roughly square, with defensive walls covering and protecting the four sides. There was a castle at the center or northernmost point of the inner side of the walls, and the place furthest from there was the current location—the slums.

"So what do we do now? The owner of the warehouse that manages the stolen goods should be inside, and your things might not have been resold yet... But how should we approach them when we go in?"

"Of course we should go in openly and honestly, say that something was stolen from us, and ask them to return it to us, right?"

"Ah..." Natsuki Subaru opened his mouth, looking helplessly at Tokichi.

Shi Chen simply smiled.

Satella's personality is too straightforward; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's naive and clueless about the ways of the world, lacking any flexibility or ability to adapt to social norms.

This is not a place where you can easily get along just by asserting the correct arguments.

However, they don't need to worry about anything; they're not without strength.

"What are you laughing at? Are you mocking me?" Satella frowned, staring at Shichen suspiciously.

"How could that be? You're fine as you are." Shi Chen rubbed her head.

"here we go again......"

"Then I'll go in first." Natsuki Subaru watched with envy, and could only turn his head away to avoid seeing it.

Boom-!

But at that moment, a very clear impact sound suddenly came from inside, followed by a cutting sound.

"What's going on?" Natsuki Subaru didn't take it seriously and went to the door, pushing it open.

bass--!

A flash of light appeared and disappeared.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

Natsuki Subaru didn't notice the light; he simply opened the door wide and went inside.

"Time?" Satella looked at the time with surprise and doubt, for she had seen that glimmer of light.

"Natsuki Subaru... is he alright?"

"You stay behind me, let's follow."

Shichen walked ahead, followed by Satella.

Although the door was wide open, it was pitch black inside. Even the rising moon couldn't shine inside; it was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

"what--!"

Just then, Natsuki Subaru let out a terrified scream.

"Blood—! A severed hand—!"

Shichen flipped his hand, and golden flames appeared in his palm. He then tossed the flames into the air, and the firelight instantly dispelled the darkness.

He actually valued the scene in the dark, but he did so so that Satella could see it.

"How could this be..." Satella didn't pay attention to the strange flames of the hour, but covered her mouth, staring in disbelief at the terrifying and chilling scene before her.

This warehouse was originally supposed to be a hotel or similar building, with a bar and a counter for greeting guests.

The counter was also filled with a variety of odds and ends: small boxes, pots, swords, and cheap precious metals... a wide variety of items.
