When they followed the instructions of the slum residents and arrived at Mr. Rom's shop, Natsuki Subaru knocked on the door twice.
[Hello~~, hello~~, is anyone there? Is anyone in there? ! ]
【——Big rat. 】
[Huh? Rats? Where are the rats?! ]
[…White whale?]
[Beluga whale, white whale? I haven't heard of it~. But I do know the black and white killer whale. Do you like killer whales, old man? ]
[Ha~~~]
Squeak, squeak, squeak~
[What do you mean by coming to my place without knowing the code?! Oh, there are quite a lot of people here. Do you want to fight?]
[No, no, no, old man——] How does it feel to see a dead person jumping around in front of you again?
Natsuki Subaru felt a little frightened and a little nauseous.
Although he himself is a person who has "come back from the dead", I'm sorry to say that humans are creatures that can see everything visible except their own faces.
[No fighting~, then what do you want to do here? 】
[Feirut, do you know where this girl is now? She took away my important things! I must get them back! ]
[You guys, you’re here to cause trouble after all…] Rom looked at them deeply, and after a while he said, [Come in first, Felt should be here soon.]
122. Conan and Felt for the Second Time
Felt: Master Rom, why did you let these guys in?!
Rom: What can I do? These guys don't look simple! An elf warlock, a warrior who looks like he's experienced in many battles, if these people rush at me, I don't even have a good opponent, how can I fight?
Felt: So you let them in?
Rom: You know my stick is behind the counter? I can't ask them to wait outside and then go back to get the stick, right?
Felt: But...
Natsuki Subaru: Oh, let's not argue about this! Compared to these trivial matters, aren't you curious about how I died in the last round?
Reinhard van Astraea: Come to think of it, it is true... According to what Subaru said, he was killed by the "Gut Hunter" in the last reincarnation near dusk. If we calculate it by the current time, it might be not long after the current time in the light curtain.
Firut: The “Gut Hunter”—are you talking about the employer?
Emilia: Did someone hire you to steal my badge?!
Felt: Of course. Who else would deliberately steal something worth an unknown amount from a woman who looks like she’s in trouble? Is the badge really that valuable?
[Do you have something in Firut's hands that is valuable? ]
Grandpa Rom, who had let everyone into the house, asked the same question. He had watched Felt grow up, and if possible, he wanted to resolve the trouble with Felt.
[That is a very important item, and it should be very valuable, so please ask her to return it to me immediately! Then the matter will be resolved.]
[Oh, you are quite generous~] Rom raised his thick arm and scratched his chin. As a giant, he was over two meters tall, and his two abnormally developed arms were over half his height!
Rom narrowed his eyes. [Since the item is in Felt's hands, how much do you plan to pay?]
[Wait, old man, that was originally Emilia's thing, right? ]
[Will that thing fly into Felt's hands by itself? That child has also put in a lot of effort, and I don't want her efforts to be meaningless. ]
[This is too unreasonable! ]
Natsuki Subaru's expression remained unchanged.
To get back something that a thief has stolen, you actually need to pay an equivalent amount of money? How can this be justified in the world?
Naturally, Natsuki Subaru didn't want to pay the money. He wanted to refuse this unreasonable thing, but at this moment he recalled the memory of being killed last week when he was completely unable to resist!
First it was Xia Shi, who was attacked from behind and had her heart stabbed through.
Achilles: Big sister! Hey, big sister! ? You are getting black! ?
Then came Conan, who was disemboweled after Natsuyo's death.
Maori Kogoro: Hey, Xiaolan! That's our wall! Ours! Stop it!
Next came Emilia, the elven magician. As it was getting close to evening, Parker went back to sleep in the magic crystal. She was originally acting as a spellcaster under the cover of Grandpa Rom, but because of her carelessness, she was closed in an instant, and then her body was cut from top to bottom by the scimitar.
Emilia: Parker, I'm fine! Look, I'm still here.
Then it was Firut who rushed forward impulsively and had his stomach cut open horizontally; Grandpa Rom was slashed all over his body with a scimitar, and finally his stomach was cut open when he was almost drained of blood.
Compared to these people, Natsuki Subaru has no fighting power at all.
Even Firut had a power called protection, which allowed him to move at the edge of the battlefield at a very fast speed, waiting for an opportunity to finish off the enemy. But he could only hide at the edge of the battlefield, unable to escape even if he wanted to.
Finally, when only two people were left in Rom's stolen goods warehouse, he finally summoned up some courage. With the belief that "I can't face the end of my life in such a cowardly way", he picked up the iron sword on the counter and rushed forward with a roar.
The results are predictable...
He didn't even see the movements of the "Gut Hunter", and then he died.
He closed his eyes and opened them again, just like when he first came to this strange world. He returned to the time when he first came to this strange world.
Thinking of the almost unstoppable perverted killer, Natsuki Subaru hesitated. He couldn't help but ask: [How much money do you want? ]
[Hey, Nayue-san, do you really want to pay? ]
[Brother Natsuki, is this really okay? ]
[…I don’t have that much money with me now~]
[It’s okay, I’ll take care of this matter!] Natsuki Subaru turned around and gave Emilia a thumbs up, then put his hands together and said to his companions behind him:
[Sorry, but can I be willful here for once? ]
[Of course, it's okay. It's your own money after all... I just think it's a pity. Is it necessary to go to this extent? ]
[How should I put it~, just think of me being cool~]
Natsuki Subaru scratched his cheek, and Padu blinked and put his hands behind his head. [If you are happy? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not do this! It's too stupid~]
[Brother Natsuki…]
Yeah, it’s hard to understand!
Conan Edogawa remained calm.
He has been observing the temporary captain named Natsuki Subaru from noon until now, and finally found that there was really something wrong with this captain.
First of all, the other party was obviously very frightened when he came to the other world - could this be because he encountered something special before coming to the other world, such as a murder case?
Perhaps due to the shock of witnessing the crime scene, Natsuki Subaru was obviously a little mentally disturbed. But after seeing them, Natsuki Subaru immediately calmed down, or forced himself to calm down, and then began a somewhat lame performance.
Conan didn't know the purpose of his performance at the beginning. In addition, Padofils, a strange woman with cat ears on her head and an extra-long cat tail behind her, seemed to be cooperating with him?
They clearly don't look like they are from the same world!
Then Natsuki Subaru began to lead everyone towards the city center. He walked in front and kept chattering all the way. Perhaps he wanted to cover up the fact that his route of action had a purpose?
Conan wasn't sure if other people had noticed this, such as Padua or Mr. Goblin Slayer... His whole body was wrapped in a tin can, and his expression couldn't be read at all.
In short, after meeting a silver-haired half-elf beauty named Emilia, Conan seemed to have solved one of his doubts.
He had to admit: the girl named Emilia was truly a beauty of nature and dreamlike.
But the moment he saw Miss Emilia, what appeared on Natsuki Subaru's face was clearly not an infatuation of beauty, but something more like the emotion of reunion after a long separation!
Given their current situation, it would definitely not be advisable to rashly get involved in the troubles of the locals. However, as expected, Natsuki Subaru made up a reason, and after that, he still led everyone to the place he might have decided on with obvious purpose.
Rom's stolen goods warehouse - it doesn't sound like a good place. Actually, when you get here, you can see the dilapidated walls and windows on the outside, and the messy decorations inside.
According to Conan's usual temperament, he would not mind calling the police to take down the warehouse of stolen goods. However, this is not the Tokyo he is familiar with, and there are no Metropolitan Police Department officers who cooperate well with him. It is beyond his rationality to rashly cooperate with the official organizations of this country at this time.
In Conan's opinion, even if Natsuki Subaru does not have as strong a sense of justice as him, due to the habits of teenagers in modern society, he should not be involved in collusion with the culprits who sell stolen goods.
As a result, the smooth communication between Natsuki Subaru and Rom-ye, who were talking and laughing, was beyond his expectations! When Rom-ye suggested that they had to spend money to buy Emilia's lost items, Natsuki Subaru compromised again, which made Conan confirm that Natsuki Subaru must know some information that no one else knew.
Considering his performance just now, Natsuki Subaru's actions along the way can no longer be explained by reasons such as foresight or the desire to fight for leadership.
Rather than having an extraordinary intuition and a desire for quick success, Natsuki Subaru seems to have known in advance that a tragedy will happen in the future!
This tragedy is likely to affect the safety of everyone present, and Natsuki Subaru may not be able to tell the truth because of something... Well, if that truth is really what I think of now, the reason why Natsuki Subaru didn't tell the truth may be that he thinks no one will believe it even if he tells it~
Crisis, a crisis big enough to affect everyone... Secret -
So, what should he do?
[I'm back! Huh? There are so many guests here today. Did a dragon jump out of a stone? ]
[Feit! ]
123. Rom's Eyesight
[Feit!? Are you the thief who stole my badge? ]
[Eh——? Why did you come here? You are such a difficult woman. A woman like you will definitely scare her husband away in the future!]
【Don't worry about that!!】×2
[Hmm? What's going on~~, are you having an affair with this ferocious-looking guy~~]
[Stop talking nonsense! Give me my badge back! ]
[There is no thief in the world who would honestly return something just because he was told to do so——]
Felt made a move to leave, but Goblin Slayer had already blocked the door without her noticing.
At the same time, Uncle Rom also took out a thick wooden stick that was almost as long as him from behind the counter.
Natsuki Subaru: Hey, hey, hey, getting hit by that stick is no joke!
[Let's talk about it!] It's unclear whether Natsuki Subaru in the light curtain has the same idea as him in reality, or he wants to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
When the two sides were in a tense standoff, he jumped out to discuss the matter.
[The door is blocked, what else is there to discuss? ]
[There's nothing you can do about it, right? Who told you to run away?] Natsuki Subaru wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible before the "Gut Hunter" arrives, but that doesn't mean he will compromise with the other party without limits.
Perhaps noticing this, the atmosphere around Felt and Grandpa Rom gradually relaxed, and this time it was Emilia who felt a tingling sensation.
In her opinion, it was too much of a pushover to compromise with the other side when one's own side had the advantage in numbers and strength. Even she found it a bit unreasonable.
However, Natsuki Subaru was the one who played a major role in recovering her badge. Emilia didn't want to say anything bad about the person who helped her, so she closed her open mouth again.
Natsuki Subaru: Isn’t it too cute?!
Ram: So noisy, Barus!
Natsuki Subaru: Bar-Barus? Are you calling me?
Ram: Ram also wanted Barus in the light curtain to hear, but he couldn't. He couldn't even see through this, so Barus is Barus~
Natsuki Subaru: Why did I feel like I was subtly insulted using my own name just now?
[Okay, everyone calm down~~. Firut, I believe you have seen that this is the situation. It is unlikely that you will leave this warehouse without leaving anything behind today. As for whether the things you leave behind are hard or soft, it depends on your decision.]
[…Okay, what do you want to say? ]
[According to what you said, someone hired you to steal Emilia's treasure, right? ]
[What happened? ]
[I mean, how much did Emilia spend? We can offer the same price.]
[Huh? Are you serious, bro?!]
As a result, not only Emilia, but even Felt didn't understand what Natsuki Subaru was thinking after knowing his plan.
No, it should be said that Firut doesn't understand even more, right?
She grew up in a slum, and the education and environment she received since childhood shaped her character into one of the law of the jungle. Politeness does not exist for her, and she would never take the initiative to suffer losses.
[Forget it, since it was you who wanted to do this, I am the one who benefits from it, so I won’t say anything more.]
Felt’s tone was surprised. She put one hand on her waist, and after realizing that the situation was a foregone conclusion, she reached into her pocket with her other hand and pulled out an exquisitely shaped ruby badge.
[Is this it? The client offered 15 holy gold coins. If you can come up with the money, it will be yours.]
