120. Emilia's Second Time
Subaru Natsuki led everyone to where he and Emilia met.
Compared with last week, he already knew how to get the first pot of gold in the other world, and at least had the first step of the action goal.
Therefore, even though he did not perform well in the beginning, he was quite confident in his subsequent performances. At least in terms of captain qualities, he was more qualified than he was in the previous round.
Felt: Damn it! That ability is like cheating!
Nico Robin: Oh, I think it's not easy for Nayue-san. The courage to face death is a quality that only a hero can possess. The little sister is too strict with him.
Okabe Rintaro: I hope that the world in the light curtain does not have the problem of world line convergence, otherwise... Natsuki-san might be in danger.
Lucy Heartfilia: Why do you sound so experienced, Mr. Okabe? It sounds like you've actually experienced time travel?
Masami Horii: It's impossible no matter how you put it, right? Do you know how much energy it takes to travel through time?
Negi Springfield: Although common sense tells me that time travel is impossible, practical experience tells me that maybe time travel is not so far away from people in the 21st century?
Fujimaru Ritsuka: This is too tragic. What kind of world is this?
Fujimaru Tachibana:......
When a butterfly flaps its wings in South America, a tornado may occur in Texas, USA.
In the field of probability, everything has the possibility of a huge change in outcome due to a small influence.
However, this possibility is chaotic and unpredictable. When it comes to each individual, at least today, humans cannot predict how people thousands of miles away will be affected by the flapping of a butterfly's wings in front of them.
Natsuki Subaru was originally worried that his actions, which were different from those in the previous round, would cause him to miss the encounter with Emilia, or that the incident in which Emilia lost important items would not happen due to his influence.
It turns out he was overthinking.
[That's right. If you want to create a whirlwind thousands of miles away by flapping your wings, the one flapping the wings must be Mothra, right?]
What is Mothra?
[A butterfly-shaped monster - Haven't you seen Godzilla? ]
[No, is it famous? Movie? Game?]
【Movie!】
After exchanging a few words with Padu, Natsuki Subaru looked at the beautiful and pure silver figure in the crowd and felt moved.
The silver figure now looked as anxious as a child who had lost her favorite toy, and she moved quickly as she scanned the crowd, occasionally looking high up on the roof.
This action was clearly proof that she had lost something important.
Next, we need to find a reasonable excuse for us to come into contact with Emilia...
No matter how naive Emilia was, she wouldn't believe him if he said, "I'm Natsuki Subaru, and I'm here to help you find something with the memories of my previous reincarnation."
Therefore, he needed a suitable excuse to establish contact with Emilia without arousing Emilia's suspicion, and at the same time he had to get other companions to agree with his rash actions.
Natsuki Subaru approached the silver figure while thinking hard in his mind.
It can be said that he was quite quick-witted. After trying his best to dig his brain, he actually came up with a statement that made sense.
[Do you see that person over there?] Natsuki Subaru pointed at Emilia.
When Paduo and the others looked in the direction where Natsuki Subaru's finger was pointing, the person who was pointed at by his undisguised action also looked at him in confusion.
[She seems to be anxiously looking for something. Although we don't know what she is looking for, we can help her. In return, I think she shouldn't mind showing us "strangers who have just arrived here" around the capital, right? ]
【I see. 】
[Is that so? Natsuki-sama is so smart~~]
Conan's eyes flashed, and he found the "royal capital" mentioned by Natsuki Subaru very interesting.
Not only this, but the jumpy feeling of Natsuki Subaru's performance has always concerned him. He decided to pay more attention to Natsuki Subaru, as this temporary captain may have a very interesting secret.
【Hmph~】
Natsuki Subaru turned up his nose at the positive response from his teammates. He strode towards Emilia, then knelt on one knee in front of Emilia's confused gaze, and said in a pretentious voice:
[Nice to meet you, beautiful lady. My name is Natsuki Subaru. The name Subaru means the stars in the sky. Yes! This means that this meeting was arranged by the starry sky for us!]
[Seeing that you look worried, I, the knight, would like to ask you: Is there anything I can do to help you? ]
Natsuki Subaru: Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! ! !
Natsuki Subaru: Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look, don’t listen, don’t look! ! ! !
Natsuki Nahoko: ...Dad, does this child take after you in this aspect?
Kenichi Natsuki: Mother of my child, this is a huge injustice.
Gu Jian Whistle: Envy~~~
Goto Ichiri: This is——a real person! ?
Ijichi Hongxia: No, that's a social terrorist, right?
Kotori Itsuka in the light curtain took a step back, obviously she had the same idea as Hongxia.
Emilia, as the person involved, was even more confused.
[Beautiful, eh?! Knight?]
On the one hand, she was confused by Natsuki Subaru's overly friendly attitude, and on the other hand, she felt suspicious of Natsuki Subaru's self-proclaimed identity.
In this capital... no, it should be said that in the entire Kingdom of Lugnica and even in the whole world, half-elves like her with silver hair are objects of taboo.
Because she looked too much like the Witch of Jealousy who destroyed half of the world in the legend, people who were afraid of witches sometimes even threw stones at her. Emilia had never met anyone with clear eyes like Natsuki Subaru, who showed her great kindness at the first meeting.
On the other hand, Natsuki Subaru, who calls himself a knight, is far from the knight Emilia has in every aspect.
In the dragon-friendly kingdom of Lugnica, knights are a group of people who are diligent in training themselves and have good character and image.
Their status was below that of the traditional nobility, but no one looked down on them. The nobility respected their contributions, the common people were grateful for their work, and foreign enemies feared their power.
The knights of this country are the country's most famous business card. Strength, image and character are all indispensable.
As for Natsuki Subaru... his strength can be seen from his physique and the way he moves. His image was changed because he went out to the convenience store at night, so his clothes were quite casual and his face was not properly cleaned.
Emilia believed that the other person must be of excellent character and was able to talk to her without prejudice, which made Emilia very happy.
But the rest is...
Emilia judged that Natsuki Subaru should be an enthusiastic young man who admired knights and imitated their behavior on a daily basis.
It's just that some people behind him are puzzling -
Could those people with different clothes, ages, and even races be his companions in the knight game?
After quickly understanding everything in her head, Emilia calmed down and said, "I don't need any help. Even if I do, there's no benefit in helping me. You guys should not look for other people. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
[Please stop and listen to me! I know you lost something important——]
[…How did you know? Are you an accomplice of that child?!]
Emilia's eyes turned stern, and Natsuki Subaru said he felt great.
121. Rom's stolen goods warehouse
Although it felt great, Natsuki Subaru still felt a little hurt by being suspected by the girl he cared about.
He hurriedly tried to clarify Emilia's suspicion. [No, I just saw you looking around and guessed that you must have lost something, so I said that!]
[Hmm~~] Emilia looked around at Natsuki Subaru and said easily. [Since you said so, I will believe you.]
[That’s great~, haha~] Taiyuan touched the back of his head and felt a little guilty.
Sorry, the guess was a lie, I just knew your purpose in the previous round.
[Natsuki Subaru, sir, just as you said, I have things to do, so we will stay here——]
[Wait, wait, wait a minute! Don’t you think it’s more efficient to look for things together than to look for them alone? ]
Emilia showed a skeptical expression. [Of course you are right - but I really have nothing to thank you for~]
[It’s okay! No no no, actually it is related!] Natsuki Subaru coughed twice, trying to make himself look less suspicious.
[We are actually outsiders who have just arrived in this capital. So, after we help you find what you want, if you can take us to understand all aspects of this capital, that is, help each other as a tour guide, we will be very grateful. ]
[But anyone can do this, why do you have to find me?] Emilia was a little moved.
[If we just introduce the place and its name, maybe many locals can do it, but doing it and doing it well are two different things, right? Miss, you look like you come from a noble family, right? Moreover, I believe in the creed of "giving favors rather than benefits". If we help you, you will pay more attention to our affairs, right? ]
[This... maybe you are right. "It is better to show kindness than to benefit others"? This sentence makes a lot of sense~]
[Yes, Leah~. I can sense that this guy has other thoughts in his mind, but he has no ill will towards you~]
[Wow! A talking cat is flying in the sky!] Natsuki Subaru pointed at Puck with a shocked expression.
[Nice to meet you. I'm Parker, Leah's guardian. What's up, little brother? Haven't you seen an elf before? ]
[Well, this is my first time seeing a talking elf~]
[Oh? What do you think after seeing it? ]
[Cute! --To be honest, I'm thankful that I can touch it.]
[Is this the truth? Yes, it's OK. As long as you help Leah, I can let you touch it after the task is completed.]
【Great! I’ll boost your motivation!】
Phyllis: He is still talking about this at a time like this. I don't know whether to say that this man is kind-hearted or courageous.
Julius Euclius: Your Excellency the Great Elf is truly kind. I wonder if the situation will change if I send out an invitation...
Beatrice: Don't even think about it! Damn it! How dare you covet my brother's noble hair! !
Natsuki Subaru: I'm a brother complex~~, no, your brother is this cat?!
After successfully reaching a cooperation agreement with Emilia, Natsuki Subaru began to show off his reasoning.
He said that the security situation in a country's royal city must be very good - he sneered at his own conclusion in his heart - therefore, the thief who stole Emilia's things would not choose to sell them in public even if he wanted to.
Emilia nodded vigorously in agreement, and that gesture of agreement made Natsuki Subaru even more excited. So he continued: Next, we should first understand what is in the direction where the thief left, and the place where the thief sold the stolen goods may have some connection with this matter.
Emilia glanced in the direction she was heading. She had been so focused on finding a child who matched her impression that she hadn't put any time to think about it.
Now, after being reminded by Natsuki Subaru's words, Emilia suddenly realized.
[There are slums ahead! ]
[That's right!] Natsuki Subaru snapped his fingers and raised his chin high. [Let's go to the slums first to find out if there is any information about the person who looks like a thief in your impression, and then make plans!]
[I know!] Natsuki Subaru deliberately showed his calmness and handsomeness, which might be ignored in the 21st century. However, Emilia was simple-minded and would only speak her mind directly.
[Thank you, Nayuki-kun! You were able to find a clue so quickly that I had no clue about. It's great to have your help! ]
「Ah, ahahaha~, you don’t have to be like this……」
He is a natural scoundrel, and although the situation is a little different, for a young boy like Natsuki Subaru, the sincere gratitude from a beautiful girl is almost four times the special attack!
[No~~, I must thank you! That thing is really important to me - by the way, after you find the badge, I want to invite you to my place... Oh, by the way, my name is Emilia, you can just call me Emilia. ]
[Please also call me Subaru. 】
Others took the opportunity to introduce themselves.
Tomoya Aki: This guy... is simply relying on his memory strategy from the previous episode, Emilia-chan!!
Sora: Damn it!!! A natural, pure, silver-haired, half-elf beauty!!!
Bai: Brother, you are a playboy~
Sora: Ichimodo~, this is not a philandering, by the way! This is just my soul as a man crying out against an unjust event!
White: Flirtatious - White also means silver hair, white also means purity and naturalness?
Katsuragi Keima: Why is it a question?
Felt: No, wait! Isn't this coming towards me?!
It is not difficult to find out the news about Firut.
After arriving at the slums, they simply asked a few questions. Seeing that they had more people on their side, the residents, who did not want to cause trouble, easily told the group the location of Firut.
Felt: You guys—I’ve memorized your faces!
Although Felt is very young, her abilities are so great that even professional thieves can hardly reach her. In addition, she has a close relationship with the giant Rom, so she can be said to be a well-known figure in the slums.
