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

This happens quite often.

Although I feel very sorry for those whose things were stolen, this is how Ferut survives, and all I can do is apologize to them.

"Oh, I see!"

Rom's tense body relaxed, and he said with a kind smile, "Felt hasn't returned yet, so why don't you wait a bit?"

He then said to Suoh Takeshi, who was standing to the side:

"Young man, put away your hostility. I thought you were here to cause trouble, so I didn't mean to hurt you. At most, I just wanted to throw you out."

After saying that, he placed his hands on the counter, exposing them so that both of them could see his movements.

Rom's battle-hardened intuition sent a strong warning to the two men as he targeted them, telling them just how dangerous the white-clad youth before him truly was.

"I hope so."

Suoh Takeshi said softly, while also concealing his hidden hostility towards Lord Rom.

"what happened?"

Natsuki Subaru looked completely bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

As his conversation with Grandpa Rom changed, the scene interaction also changed, and even the original one cup of freshwater milk increased to three cups.

Things are developing in a future he doesn't know.

Suoh Takeshi said meaningfully, "It's nothing, it's just that Mr. Rom doesn't know how to treat us."

"Oh ho ho ho"

Grandpa Rom grinned shamelessly, showing no sign of embarrassment.

As expected of a centenarian who has seen many ups and downs, this situation is nothing to him.

"Well then, before Felt returns, I'd like to ask Lord Rom to take a look at this!"

Natsuki Subaru pulled out his old flip phone and, with an exaggerated, deceptive expression, said, "Look! This is the magical item, the Meteor!"

What is this?

Rom looked curiously at the phone in Subaru Natsuki's hand; such an unknown thing easily attracted his attention.

"This meteorite has powerful functions."

Natsuki Subaru vividly described the cell phone to Rom, while Suo Takeshi carefully examined the items in the stolen goods warehouse.

He appeared to be checking out the merchandise, but in reality, he was surveying the terrain.

This place will soon become a battlefield, so Suoh Takeshi naturally needs to investigate the terrain in advance to make preparations and see if there is anything useful.

Unfortunately.

Even after Natsuki Subaru finished describing the powerful functions of the flip phone, Suoh Takeru still couldn't find any useful auxiliary tools.

"Well, Mr. Rom, my shooting star must be worth a lot of money!"

Natsuki Subaru's face was filled with a confident smile, showing no fear that his phone would be criticized as worthless, thus lowering the price for its replacement.

He had already had many interactions with Mr. Rom, so he had great faith in Mr. Rom's character and professional ethics.

"Yes, let me think about what a suitable price should be."

Grandpa Rom fell into deep thought.

Just then, the tightly closed wooden door of the stolen goods warehouse was violently opened.

A blonde, red-eyed little girl with fangs swaggered in from outside.

"Oh, Mr. Rom, we have a guest here?"

As soon as she entered, Felt spotted Suoh Takeshi and Natsuki Subaru, but she still walked in, showing no intention of avoiding them.

"Oh, it's Ferute."

Grandpa Rom greeted him.

"You're finally back, Felt!" Subaru Natsuki exclaimed, his face beaming with joy.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Suoh Takeshi stood up, stretched his neck, and loosened his shoulders.

"Everyone's finally here."

Then he asked Subaru Natsuki, "Tell me, are we going to follow the proper procedures, or just knock him out and take him away?"

"Huh?!" X3

The three of them exclaimed in unison in surprise.

Chapter 072 Actors Take Their Places, Stage Unfolds

As Suoh Takeshi spoke, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense and extremely solemn.

"Huh?! Wu, what are you saying?!"

Natsuki Subaru was shocked by what Suoh Takeru suddenly said; he really couldn't understand what Suoh Takeru wanted to do.

Ferut immediately pulled out the short dagger tucked into his waistband.

While keeping a wary eye on Suoh Takeshi and Natsuki Subaru, he asked Rom with a face full of curiosity, "Huh, what exactly is going on?"

"So, you guys are here to cause trouble, aren't you?"

In this emergency, Rom didn't answer Felt's question. Instead, he asked the surprised Subaru Natsuki, "What's wrong, bro? Aren't you two together? Why do you look surprised too?"

"I have no idea what happened!"

Natsuki Subaru was starting to panic.

Having gone through 10 cycles, with each event being largely the same, he was able to navigate among these people with great ease and skill.

However, Suoh Takeshi's sudden attack made him somewhat unable to control the future.

But he knew that Suoh Takeshi wouldn't speak without reason; he must have some other method that Suoh hadn't thought of.

indeed.

Having gone through five cycles, even without the help of memories, they would definitely try to find the key to breaking the deadlock.

Suoh Takeshi's solution was to ensure that the relevant parties were not present at the scene!

[Felt not present = no trading partner = badge not present = trade not completed = Subaru Natsuki will not die = avoids death return]

A perfect conversion equation!

“Natsuki-kun, think about it carefully. You definitely wouldn’t agree to tell Felt and Rom directly that ‘you’ll be killed in a moment.’”

Suoh Takeru explained his thoughts to Natsuki Subaru and offered him advice:

"Furthermore, Felt is holding the badge that's about to be traded. What if the badge is gone? In the end, the trade wouldn't happen. After all, how can there be a trade if there's no item or object to be traded?"

Hearing Suoh Takeshi's words, Natsuki Subaru was also moved.

He has already tried 10 times, and even the 5 times he was with Wu, he still couldn't save Felt and Rom.

In that case, it would be better to just knock them out and take them away!

As the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created it!

"Hey, I can't understand a word you two are saying!"

Felt glared with her slightly upturned eyes and bared her little tiger teeth, shouting, "What do you mean 'I and Rom will be killed in a moment'? Why did you knock us out and take us away? Who are you people?!"

Grandpa Rom pulled out a giant wooden stick from under the counter, pointed it at Suoh Takeshi and Natsuki Subaru, and shouted, "That's right! Even if you can't stop us, don't think you can take us away so easily!"

Just as everyone was at odds and the situation was at a stalemate, a figure appeared from outside the door.

"Um, what happened?"

A sweet, charming female voice suddenly broke through the somber atmosphere, drawing everyone's attention.

Upon hearing this voice, Natsuki Subaru immediately perked up and shouted:

"They're here! They're here!!!"

His face flushed slightly, and he looked at the newcomer with the longing of someone seeing an angel, his gaze filled with youthful infatuation.

No, Emilia was an angel to him.

Everyone turned their attention to the doorway.

The first thing that catches the eye is a head of long, silvery-white hair, which shines brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Her dark purple eyes, while carrying a hint of childlike innocence, were also full of intellectual beauty. Her soft features combined striking beauty with a touch of naivety, giving off a strangely dangerous charm that emanated from her nobility.

She is about 160 cm tall. Her simple white casual clothes have no fancy decorations, but it is precisely this simple style that makes her eye-catching presence stand out even more!

However, the long robe she wore seemed to conceal her charm, but at the same time added a lot of solemnity.

She is the girl that Natsuki Subaru vowed to save, even if it meant reincarnating 10 times.

—Emilia, the half-elf!

Felt's face fell the moment she saw Emilia; she hadn't forgotten the special badge she'd just stolen from her.

She said with distress, "Oh no, Mr. Rom, they've come knocking on our door."

"Great, it's here after all!"

Emilia also saw Felt at that moment and said sternly, "This time I won't let you escape again!"

Ferut clicked her tongue in annoyance and said loudly, "You're such a nuisance, how much of a pest can you keep bothering me!"

"I'm sorry, but that's the one thing I can't give up! If you obediently return it to me, I might forgive you!"

Without a word, Emilia activated her magic, condensing ice crystals in the void and pointing them at everyone present, threatening them:

"I only have one request: give me back my badge. It's a very important thing!"

Clearly, she considered everyone present to be an accomplice of the thief who stole her badge.

But after hearing Emilia's words, Felt and Rom were also completely bewildered.

"What's going on? Aren't you all in cahoots?"
