The faint aroma of food filled my nose, and the only sounds in the quiet environment were whispers of conversation and the clinking of cutlery.

"Boom."

Li Shanren placed the teacup held in the air on the table neither lightly nor heavily, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

"Depend on......"

He rarely swore.

"what happened?"

Alice stopped what she was doing, tugged at his sleeve, and looked at him in confusion.

"It's okay, I just have something urgent to deal with. Can you stay here for a while and wait for me to come back?"

Li Shanren put on a gentle smile and whispered to her.

"Well, since it's an urgent matter, go quickly. I'll wait for you to come back here." Alice nodded and said obediently.

"it is good."

Li Shanren rubbed her head, then grabbed a waiter who was passing by.

A gold russo was thrown directly onto the other party's idle plate.

"I'm going to go out for a while, please help me take care of my sister. If she is not here when I come back, or if she has suffered any grievances, I will blame everyone in your restaurant equally..."

After saying that, in the astonished eyes of the waiter, Li Shanren quickly stood up and hurriedly walked out of the restaurant.

......

"Hey! Hey, are you going to buy it or not? Why are you just standing there in a daze?"

The voice of the fruit stall owner came again.

Subaru Natsuki looked ahead with lifeless eyes, lowered his head, turned and walked away without saying a word.

Soon, he walked to the central pool where the most people came and sat down quietly.

The first time, he was killed in a surprise attack without knowing anything. The second time, he encountered an unbeatable enemy and was brutally killed. The third time, his plan to stop the problem in the bud failed because of a bad little joke. Later, he was killed by three nameless thugs due to negligence.

Within twelve hours, he died three times and experienced three times of suffocation-like pain. Subaru Natsuki's mentality was a little broken.

The thought of giving up kept rising and falling in my mind.

"If I didn't have the ability to return from the dead, I would have disappeared long ago..."

Subaru Natsuki clenched his fists slightly.

He named his time-reversal ability "Death Return". Only death can trigger it, making time flow back to a previous point in time.

Similar to saving and loading files in games.

Although this ability gave him the opportunity to correct his mistakes, the feeling of death each time was so real that he didn't want to recall it.

Moreover, I don't know how death return works, and whether there is a limit on the number of times...

What if that death doesn't come back...

Maybe it will be next time, or the next time.

When he thought of this, Subaru Natsuki felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

He is only 17 years old this year, so naturally he is not ready to bury himself completely in the ground and erect a tombstone.

To be honest, when he first came into this world, he still had fantasies in his heart. He felt that he would be like the characters in other novels, with extraordinary talents, treasures that could defy all odds, or be born with unparalleled charm.

But the reality undoubtedly gave him a heavy blow. Apart from the ability to rewind after death, he had nothing special about him. Both his IQ and strength were within the range of ordinary people.

Even if he could die and come back again and again, as an ordinary person he might not have the ability to change the course of events. Perhaps... no matter how many times he did it, the result would be the same.

Moreover, the return of death does not block his pain and fear. Every death is something that Subaru Natsuki does not want to recall.

"What should we do?"

Subaru ran his fingers through his hair, thinking anxiously.

Now there is only one problem before him -

Should I continue to help "Satila"?

If you choose not to help, what should you do next?

Should I first find a way to get rid of those three thugs who might be watching me in secret?

He doesn't know the local language, is alone, and has no parents to support him. How can he make a living?

If you choose to help, how should you help?

How to gain Satila's trust?

How to defeat the powerful Elsa?

After calming down a little, a series of realistic problems were presented to him. No matter which choice he made, there were many problems that needed to be solved urgently.

"At least before my second death, I learned from Grandpa Rom that I could exchange my cell phone for a lot of money. At least I had some starting capital. Then I could use my modern brain flexibly to start a small business. Maybe I could make a living easily."

Subaru Natsuki silently thought about the option of "not being a pushover".

As I was thinking, suddenly, there was a commotion on the street in front of me.

"Hey! Don't run! Give my stuff back to me!"

The sweet rebuke, like a silver bell, drifted faintly into his ears.

Hearing the familiar voice, Subaru Natsuki looked up immediately. He once again saw the white figure that would make his heart beat no matter how many times he saw it.

"Satira", dressed in simple white clothes, ran among the crowd, her delicate face revealing obvious shock and anger, as well as a little panic.

On the rooftop on one side of the street, a blonde thief girl whose clothes were obviously ill-fitting nimbly climbed over obstacles one after another and disappeared into the blind spot in the blink of an eye.

"Ah... has it happened again? No matter how many times, Satella's things will be stolen by her. This means it is bound to happen."

This time, Subaru Natsuki sighed as he was completely a bystander.

Then, he looked at the figure of "Satila" getting farther and farther away, feeling very complicated.

Subaru Natsuki once again recalled the first time they met. The girl was also chasing Firut closely, but when she saw him being bullied by the thugs in the alley, she still stood up to protect him.

She even stayed there and waited for him to wake up from his coma.

If what he did could be classified as a "nice guy", then "Satira" must be an "easy guy" with even more excessive kindness than him.

Putting this aside, the girl's appearance, figure, voice, and even her pure silver hair all touched Subaru Natsuki's heart. He was not shy to say that she was the kind of person he would fall in love with the first time he met her.

Even now, he is completely unable to give up this inner love.

"If I give up on her like this, will I regret it later?"

Subaru Natsuki thought silently.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. When he finally looked up again, the hesitation in his eyes had faded away, replaced by a firmness.

"As expected, you're still unwilling to give up... If that's the case, then help her this time, and next time, and the next time... until I'm completely disappointed and fed up!"

No matter how many times you try, the option of giving up never goes away.

But once you choose to give up, you may completely miss this event and won’t be able to try again.

So before you get discouraged, try your best to succeed!

Subaru Natsuki said this in his mind.

Then he stood up, brushed off the dust on his pants, and strode in the direction where "Satila" had left.

......

"It's over..."

Subaru Laiyue was standing on a busy street. He had been searching along the road for more than ten minutes, but he could no longer see any trace of "Satila".

Of course, he could choose to go directly to the stolen goods vault and redeem what Shatira had lost.

But in that case, he would probably still run into Elsa, and end up dying.

Having the fighting power to defeat Elsa is the key to the problem.

And "Satella" might be able to compete with Elsa. When they first met, she claimed to be a "fairy messenger" and was accompanied by a fairy named "Puck". The fairy looked like a palm-sized light gray short-haired cat with lop ears and liked to stand upright like a human.

Subaru Natsuki didn't understand the combat system of this world, but "Satila" didn't look like someone who was easy to mess with. At least the three thugs fled when facing "Satila".

Moreover, "Satira" has the assistance of a fairy, as well as Grandpa Rom, Firut, and herself who can barely be considered a fighting force.

In a four-on-one situation, if Erza can still kill them all, Subaru Natsuki will have no choice but to kneel down and admit defeat.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find "Satila", which is the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Let's ask people nearby. They should have seen which direction Satira ran." Subaru Natsuki thought.

Since I don’t know the girl’s real name, I can only continue to call her by her “fake name”.

"Hey, uncle, I want to ask if there was a girl in white clothes running over here just now?"

"Hello, can you tell me where the girl whose things were stolen just now went?"

"Please, please, please let me know. When I have money in the future, I will come back to take care of your business as a thank you..."

While asking questions along the way, Subaru Natsuki continued to rush in the direction that Satira was chasing.

After chasing for seven or eight minutes, he was delighted to learn from a stall owner that "Satila" had just passed by a few minutes ago, and he thought he was about to catch up with the other party.

Suddenly, when passing by an alley, a strong hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbed Subaru Natsuki's shoulder and pulled him into the alley.

"No way! Again!!"

"You three should stop it! Can't you find someone else? I've tried my best not to get close to the alley!"

Just when Lai Yue Subaru thought that those three thugs were looking for him again, but when he looked closely, he found a strange young man standing in front of him.

He has black hair and black eyes, and looks to be in his early twenties. His facial features are not particularly handsome, but he has an inexplicable sense of affinity, although his expression is a little serious now.

"It's so hard to find you..."

The young man in front of him sighed and said something that made Subaru Natsuki feel puzzled.

Why is he looking for me? Does he know me? Or... did he recognize the wrong person?

Before Lai Yue Subaru could ask a question, a voice that made him feel disgusted yet familiar came from deep in the alley next to him.

"Hey, hey, the fat sheep I finally targeted was snatched away by someone else? What should I do?"

The short dwarf walked slowly towards them, throwing a knife in his hand with an evil smile on his face.

He was followed by a blond thug and a tall, stupid guy.

"As expected, you are here after all, the three of you..." Subaru looked at them helplessly, "Is it destined that I will run into you?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

The yellow-haired thug curled his lips, then pulled out a knife and threatened the young man in front of Subaru:

"Hey! We've been targeting that guy for a long time, you should find someone else! And... I haven't seen you before, are you new here? Don't you know that this area is allocated to us?"

"Get out of here now, or I'll take you away too!"

The dwarf assumed a menacing posture.

The young man said nothing. He turned around and looked at the three of them silently, his hand lightly brushing a small cloth bag at his waist.

In an instant, a long sword with a moon-white scabbard appeared at his waist.

Seeing this scene, the three thugs deep in the alley were stunned for a moment.

“Super…superhuman…?!”

After blinking and confirming again and again, the yellow-haired gangster immediately gave in.

"Yes... Sorry, we disturbed you. Please continue. We will leave now! Right away!"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them turned around at the same time and hurriedly fled deeper into the alley.

However, the young man seemed unwilling to let them go.

Under Subaru Natsuki's astonished gaze, the young man held the scabbard with his left hand, gripped the hilt with his right hand, and bent his waist slightly.

The next second, the long sword was unsheathed.

The azure blade light slashed out like lightning, and the blade arc containing terrifying power crossed a space of several meters, silently splitting the three people into two.

The dwarf among them was shorter, so his head was split in half.

The big fool and the yellow-haired gangster were cut in half at different parts of their bodies.

They fell to the ground in pain, whimpered a few times, and then became motionless.

“You…you you…”

Subaru Natsuki looked at the tragic scene in horror.

Although he really hated the trio, he had never thought of killing them.

Even though he died in their hands last time.

Even though he had experienced three deaths and it was not the first time he had seen a dead person, as a high school dropout, killing was still a very distant thing for him.

And now, this matter was once again laid bare before him.

"Obviously... they have already decided to leave, why kill them?" Subaru Natsuki swallowed and asked in confusion, his voice trembling slightly.

He did not sympathize with the three thugs, but was terrified by the young man's nonchalant attitude towards killing.

They just came over and said a few harsh words, and then backed down on their own initiative. Do they have to be killed so brutally?

Since this young man could kill the three thugs easily, he could naturally kill him as well.

This is exactly what Subaru Natsuki fears.

The young man sheathed the long sword with beautiful patterns on it, glanced at Subaru, and said calmly: "Why did you kill them? I'm glad they came to me on their own initiative, saving me the trouble of looking for them again. Have you forgotten how you died last time?"

Hearing this, Subaru Natsuki's black pupils suddenly shrank, and shock could not be suppressed and revealed on his face.

"Why...why do you know? Who...who are you?!!!"

......

------Dividing line------

I don't want to work in this class for even a day. The pay is low, the work is heavy and the responsibility is huge. They still won't let me go, saying they need to find a new person to take over first, mmp......

Is it because my eyes are blurry that the rating suddenly increased to 8.0? !
