Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

"Help! Reinhard!"

The crowd dispersed, and there were no more obstacles in Green's sprint path, so he took three steps at a time, lowered his head, and charged forward as if he wanted to crush the Sword Saint to death.

When he was less than five body lengths away, he suddenly leaped up and pounced on Reinhard.

Reinhard was also somewhat taken aback, but because he was worried that Green would miss and fall, he did not choose to avoid him. Instead, he caught Green in a princess carry.

"Sword Saint, I have a report! A spy from the Northern Kingdom has infiltrated the capital and is plotting to murder Lugnica, a law-abiding citizen."

With that, Green raised his small hand and pointed directly at the smiling figure standing in the shadows at the alley entrance. It was Elsa, who had chased him here.

Because of the princess carry position, Green's voice became high-pitched, making her sound like a frightened woman.

The surrounding residents began to gather again, and onlookers in the buildings also opened their windows and peered in this direction.

"Good heavens, isn't that Lord Roswaal, the Earl of Mezas?"

"Why is he nestled in the Sword Saint's arms?"

"It may be rude to say this, but I still find it disgusting!"

"The aristocratic circles are truly corrupt! I never imagined the Sword Saint had such unusual tastes!"

……

Reinhard was unaffected by the rumors; his gaze had already met that of Elsa, the Bowel Hunter.

The Sword Saint's powerful aura, even without drawing his sword, was as heavy as an insurmountable mountain.

Elsa moved her mouth and made a few mouth shapes, but the sound couldn't be heard from a distance.

But Green understood; what she meant was, "We will definitely meet again."

After saying that, Elsa slowly retreated into the deeper darkness.

The badge was in Grin's hands, and Grin had already run into the Sword Saint's protection zone. The situation was hopeless, and after weighing the pros and cons, Elsa chose to retreat.

Sword Saint Reinhard smiled gently and bowed his head, saying, "Fortunately, so many citizens gave us their support. The danger has passed, sir. Are you still able to stand on your own?"

"Uh, of course."

Green stood up and checked his body. Apart from a bruise in his abdomen from the kick, he had no other discomfort.

A glint flashed in Reinhard's blue pupils as the blessing of insight was instantly activated.

As the darling of this world, the sword saint Reinhard can almost grant any blessing he desires, and the world's will will bestow upon him the corresponding ability.

After sensing that someone was following him, Reinhard realized that someone might be seeking his help, so he deliberately turned off the protection of the Shadowless Aura, which allowed the Magic Mirror to lock onto his coordinates.

"Sir, you are not the Earl of Roswaal, are you? Impersonating someone else's appearance and identity without authorization is a serious crime."

ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh.

Green sighed deeply, feeling like the third-best person in the world had come out of seclusion and was then tortured by the second and first.

"How come everyone can see through this shapeshifting trick? I'm speechless."

After saying that, Green waved his hand across his face, dispelling the spell.

His disguise shattered like a mirror, revealing his true appearance.

Standing at roughly the same height as Reinhard, he has the appearance of a refined Asian boy, seemingly influenced by the "Snow White" illustration, which has greatly enhanced his good looks.

In fact, Elsa could not see the flaws in the shapeshifting technique from her appearance; it was the assassin's suspicion and keen insight that revealed Green's identity.

After scrutinizing Green's face for a moment, Reinhard said, "Sir, you look very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Green took three steps back, looking surprised and puzzled. "Wait, Sword Saint, why are you hitting on a guy like me?"

Reinhardt leaned closer and carefully confirmed, "Sir, I remember now! I saw your portrait on the wanted poster board in the capital. You are much more handsome in person than in the portrait."

"Really? He's not that handsome, hahaha."

Green scratched his head sheepishly, then suddenly realized what he meant and asked,

"Wait, where did you see that again?"

Before Green could finish speaking, Reinhardt had already flashed behind him.

With a muffled thud, Green was knocked unconscious by a chop to the neck.

……

Clang, clang.

After going around in circles, Green ended up back in the prison van.

Reinhardt met up with the other patrolling guards and prepared to take Green to prison first.

Besides Green, another criminal who was crying was also being held in the prison van at that moment.

"Gentlemen guards, I know I was wrong! I really didn't mean to! I just gave them a light push; they weren't seriously injured!"

This person has thin shoulders and a light frame, looking like a dried wheat stalk from a distance. His short, grayish-brown hair is messy, and he is wearing only a thin green shirt.

Green scoffed, "Hmph, coward! First time in a prison van, huh?"

When the man heard Green speak, he turned around abruptly, his bangs swaying, revealing a thin, crescent-shaped silver disc hanging from his ear.

"Senior! Are you very experienced? Could you teach me how to get out of prison quickly? I'm running out of time!"

The boy knelt down in front of Green and performed a bowing ceremony.

Green's eyes darted around. He recognized the earring, and considering the kid's appearance, he was probably the unlucky war god Otto Suwen.

"Hahaha, just as I predicted, your name must be Otto, right? I see your face is dark, like a dark cloud covering your head; you must be suffering serious financial losses, haven't you?"

Otto's body stiffened, and he looked up in surprise, saying, "Ah, you know that? Senior, are you a fortune teller? That's wonderful, Master, please save me!"

Green shook his head, pretending to ponder.

"It's not impossible for me to save you, but there's something to it..."

After saying that, Green rubbed his right thumb and forefinger together, as if he wanted to pay more.

"Oh, sure, sure!"

Otto, in his desperation, frantically searched his pockets and finally managed to scrape together ten silver coins after turning all his pockets inside out.

Green weighed it in his hand and said disdainfully, "That's all?"

Otto looked at Green with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said pitifully:

"That's all...that's all I have. I'll make it up to you once I earn more money, Master. What do you think I should do to get out of my current predicament?"

"Ahem!"

Reinhard, who was walking in front, coughed twice and interjected:

"Mr. Instigator, you already have enough charges. If you add fraud to the list, you may be sentenced to a very heavy sentence."

As for Lord Otto Suvin, since you accidentally injured the creditor who came to collect the debt, you should only be sentenced to three days in prison, so please don't worry.

"Three days? That's alright, I still have time!"

Otto, looking like he had just survived a close call, leaned against the prison van fence and sighed numbly.

Clap!

Green tossed the money back to Otto, pointed to the setting sun, and said in a deliberately profound tone:

"Grandma once said that a road will appear when the dragon cart reaches the foot of the mountain. Why be so pessimistic, Otto? Just treat it as a three-day vacation."

"Master, you're right. I've regained my confidence and I'll definitely pay back the money!"

Otto sat up, preparing to put the money away, and then he noticed that the ten silver coins he had just handed to Green had now become fourteen.

A complex mix of heartache and emotion welled up in Otto's heart. After sobbing for a while, Otto finally looked up at Green with gratitude.

"What are you looking at?" Green said with a look of disgust, then added, "Consider it a loan, don't think it's too much."

"Waaah, my reputation among business people is completely ruined. I never expected you would still be willing to lend me money. I'm so touched. It truly shows that true friendship is revealed in times of trouble!"

After saying that, Otto actually hugged Green's leg and burst into tears, seemingly because he had been oppressed by the huge debt for too long.
