You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

"Young man, you say you like it, but there's no affection in your eyes, and your scent hasn't changed at all... Even when lying, there's a limit!"

Elsa's feigned charm instantly transformed into a chilling aura, and her icy voice was enough to make one's blood boil.

Murderous intent?!

Suoh Takeshi then realized that Elsa in front of him was not only an assassin, but also a gut hunter who could hold her own against him in a head-on confrontation!

Although his body was tense, Suoh Takeshi did not show the slightest fear, and said softly:

"I've been trying so hard to keep my eyes from showing lust and offending you, big sister! Haven't you heard the saying, 'Desire is unrestrained, but liking is restraint'?"

Suoh Takeshi's eyes were crystal clear, devoid of any filthy or vulgar gaze as he met hers.

"Oh, is that so?"

Elsa's heart stirred. She lowered her hand from Suoh Takeru's waist and placed it on her own snow-white chest, carefully feeling the beating of her heart.

At the same time, he said, "Oh, you're really good at pleasing women, bro. I bet a lot of women are in love with you."

After hearing this, Suoh Takeshi asked with a mischievous smile, "So, do you like what I said, big sister?"

"I like it, I really like it."

Elsa didn't hide anything and said frankly, "Actually, I also really like you, young man... but unfortunately, I have important things to do right now, otherwise I would definitely take you away and 'satisfy' you properly."

"That phrase, 'Savor it properly,' really gets the imagination running wild!"

Suoh Takeshi also became interested, but then said regretfully, "Unfortunately, my elder sister has other important matters to attend to. We can only hope to see you again next time."

"Yes, we'll have to do it next time."

Elsa chuckled softly, then walked past Suoh Takeshi, whispering sweetly in his ear, "Little brother, look forward to seeing you again next time, hehehe~"

Oh! See you again sometime!

Suoh Takeshi gave a thumbs up, indicating that he would definitely look forward to it.

With a warm smile on his face, he bid farewell to Elsa until she strolled away and disappeared from Suoh Takeshi's sight.

"Martial Arts!"

Natsuki Subaru saw his enthusiastic manner and quickly ran over. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed that Suoh Takeshi's face, which had turned around, instantly turned cold.

"Martial arts..."

At that moment, Natsuki Subaru seemed to understand.

Suoh Takeru had been pretending to be a snake with Elsa, in order not to arouse her suspicion.

"Wu, she is..."

"Isn't she that gut-picking maniac Elsa Gransilter?"

Suoh Takeshi preemptively said her full name, "Seeing how terrified you are, I knew it without even thinking."

Not good!

This is really bad!

Although I knew that Elsa was on par with me when she activated her Mark, I never expected her to be so terrifying in assassination!

The ears and nose that Suoh Takeru imitated from Zenitsu Agatsuma and Tanjiro Kamado were completely useless; he couldn't hear her footsteps or smell the blood on her body.

(It is mentioned briefly in Chapters 34, 35, and 36 of the main text.)

From the time I transmigrated until now, in terms of assassination skills, I, Suoh Takeshi, would call you the strongest!

"Martial arts..."

Natsuki Subaru looked worried because he had stopped at the Royal Capital Guard Office on the way, and the situation was different from what he had encountered before.

"It's ok."

Suoh Takeshi shook his head, telling him not to worry too much, and then said to him, "Natsuki-kun, hurry up, I have a bad feeling."

"Oh!"

Subaru Natsuki responded loudly.

The two then continued their exploration.

Chapter 071 Tell me, are we going to follow procedure or just knock them out and take them away?

About half an hour later, the two arrived at the deepest part of the slum.

This is one of the few intact houses in the entire slum.

Is this the place?

Suoh Takeshi asked, "What should we do? Go straight in?"

"No, although we could just barge in, let's not."

Natsuki Subaru shook his head and refused, saying softly, "There is a password to enter normally. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a man who has gone through this 10 times. I've already memorized the password."

Then he went up and knocked on the door.

But the person inside didn't open the door; instead, they made a low, guttural sound.

"A big rat?"

"poison."

"Beluga whale?"

"Fishing hook".

"Wishing our esteemed Dragon God well?"

"go to hell."

With the coded message perfectly matched, the person inside opened the tightly closed wooden door.

Natsuki Subaru strode in without warning, looked around, let out a soft sigh, and said loudly, "Phew, I'm in again. It really hasn't changed at all!"

This is his 10th time coming in.

When he saw the bottles and jars on the shelves, and some random, unidentifiable things piled up in the corner, he found that all the items were arranged exactly as he remembered, without any change. He almost felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had returned home.

"What are you saying, buddy? I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Mr. Rom was a giant, with a huge body and a loud voice. He led the two to the counter and sat them down.

"Although I don't know how the two young men figured out the code, never mind. This is a business, and I believe in the principle of treating customers as guests, so I won't pursue it further."

He took two cups from under the counter, poured some thin, cloudy liquid into them, and placed them in front of the two men.

To be honest, this liquid looks very suspicious.

But Natsuki Subaru didn't hesitate at all, picked up the cup and drank the liquid in it in one gulp.

"Pfft, it still tastes the same, still so awful!"

Natsuki Subaru wiped his mouth and complained loudly, "Seriously, couldn't you have added some more milk, Mr. Rom?"

milk?

Is this suspicious pale white liquid actually milk?

Just how much water did they add?

However, to avoid offending anyone, Suoh Takeshi politely took a small sip as well.

It really tastes awful!

"Where did this rude brat come from? Doesn't he know that milk is very precious in the slums? Ordinary poor people can't afford it."

Although Rom was somewhat dissatisfied, he still poured Subaru Natsuki another cup.

With his rich experience and insight as a centenarian, he could be quite certain that the two young men in front of him, who were dressed in very special ways, were definitely super rich!

If that's the case, what's the harm in selling well?

Unfortunately, Rom was both wrong and right: Natsuki Subaru had no money, but Suoh Takeshi had plenty!

"Give."

"Ugh, this tastes awful!"

Taking the cup of freshwater milk handed to him by Mr. Rom, Subaru Natsuki drank it all in one gulp without the slightest hesitation, then complained that the milk tasted terrible.

"Really, you greedy kid."

Perhaps it was Subaru's unpretentious and unhurried personality that pleased Rom, who not only ordered another cup but also became more amiable.

"Let's stop with the small talk. What are you two doing here?"

Although Lord Rom didn't pursue the matter of their sudden visit, he still had to ask the questions that needed to be asked; he wasn't senile yet.

After finishing his third glass of fresh milk, Natsuki Subaru said, "We're here to find Felt."

"Ferut?"

When Rom heard a very familiar name from Subaru Natsuki, his thick, bushy eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked curiously, "What do you two want with her?"

As he spoke, out of their sight, he secretly reached under the counter and groped for something.

If the two people in front of him say something they shouldn't, he'll kick them out!

The method might be a bit violent, though.

Fortunately, things did not turn out badly.

"We're here to buy things from her."

Subaru Natsuki placed the white plastic bag he was holding on the counter.

Then, with his hands behind his head and his brows furrowed in feigned distress, he said, "Actually, we lost something and want to buy it back from her."

Upon hearing Natsuki Subaru's words, Rom immediately understood.

It wasn't lost, it was stolen.

It must be that Ferut stole someone's things, and then the person, knowing it was her, went to her door ahead of time to wait for her to return and redeem them.
