It is obviously not far from the crowded and noisy main road, but the hustle and bustle seems to be in the other side of the dream.

"If you want to sell stolen goods, you will be dragged to the slums..." While muttering to himself, Natsuki Subaru, who turned from the main road into the alley, poked his head into the alley leading to the legendary slums.

"Whether it's the air or the atmosphere, the residents there probably have bad personalities. Do you really want to go?"

"Aren't you the one who said the badge would be there..."

"Ah...that's right, it's all here, so let's go in and find out!"

……

Negotiations that were originally thought to be difficult, turned out to be unexpectedly successful, and the reason seemed to be because of Natsuki Subaru's dirty attire and a little bit of blood that could be vaguely seen.The residents here seem to be having a hard time too, so I sympathize with the pitiful Natsuki Subaru...

There was a distance between the two, walking side by side on the road in the slums, the slightly quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by Parker.

"Sorry, I've reached my limit." After speaking, Parker weakly leaned against Emilia's white and slender neck.

The gray fur had a faint glow, and the figure vaguely seemed to disappear.

"How come the method of disappearing is like dying!"

"Because I want to protect the only daughter from men with fierce eyes, so I insist on holding on until my body can no longer be used. When it disappears, I will disperse."

"Why is it so serious? Well, after you disappear, I will be entrusted with the task of protecting my daughter. I will not let dangerous men approach her."

"Then before I disappear, can you disappear first?"

"it's not good!?"

"I'm just kidding." Parker couldn't help laughing when he saw Subaru Natsuki backing away in horror.

Then Parker looked at Emilia, and said softly: "Don't force it too much. If you are in danger, even if you crush the ice talisman that Xiaoling gave you, you should call him over, or even if you consume my Odd, you should call him over. You can call it out."

"Understood, I am not a child, I will properly handle my own affairs."

"Then you can't say for sure, your appearance is very similar to what Xiaoling said...you look like a big kid."

"No! Ling is just like Parker, always treating me like a child, obviously I have grown up!"

"Haha..." With a chuckle, Parker's figure disappeared.

The small body turned into particles of light, disappearing without a trace as if blending into the world.Aside from the talking cat, it was the first time I saw an elf, something that only existed in fantasy, and I was moved by Subaru Natsuki's heart unconsciously.

Emilia gently stroked the crystal pendant on her neck, showing a gentle look, and then quickly looked at Subaru Natsuki warily: "There are only two of us left...don't think about anything strange , I can use magic."

"Hey, I haven't experienced the situation of being alone with a girl since elementary school. Although it's terrible, I can't do anything. Didn't you see the ability I showed along the way?"

"I always feel extremely helpless, yet I have the persuasive power to resist Jun... Well, okay, let's go. It's just that Parker is not here, so we need to be more cautious than before."

Frightened by the way Subaru raised his head and raised his chest, Emilia stepped forward, tightening the robe on her chest.

"I'll go ahead, and you watch the rear. Call me immediately if anything happens. You must not try to solve it by yourself, because you are weak."

Hmm... She didn't hide the truth, she was so naive, so innocent that it melted people.

Natsuki Subaru was thinking out of tune, and at the same time, the two of them also started searching.That is the case, but the thing to do remains the same, that is, to find out the residents of the slums, tell them the characteristics of the thief, and then ask if they know each other.

This method has been repeated.Natsuki Subaru, who was in charge of the questioning, became more proficient in his skills and rhythm after accumulating experience.

"Could you be talking about Felt, right? A girl with blond hair and quick movements, right? If it's Felt, the stolen things should be stored in the stolen goods warehouse. Put a sign on it and put it in the warehouse Afterwards, the owner of the warehouse, Lord Rom, will take it to other markets for sale.”

"What a strange pattern... Aren't you worried about the warehouse owner running away with the stolen goods?"

"It is because he believes that he will not do that that he can be the owner of the stolen goods warehouse. But even if you say that it is my stolen item, he will not be able to obediently return it to you. You have to rely on negotiation skills to buy it back." After all, the person who was stolen was too idiotic.

The man laughed, taking it for granted.Since I found out the location of the stolen goods warehouse, it shouldn't take long to reach the destination.

But instead, other issues surfaced.That was the reality of the two penniless.

"They said they asked us to buy it back. What should we do? The item is in the hands of the other party, and I feel that we can only listen to the price of the other party."

"It's obvious that I came here to ask for stolen things, why did I have to pay for it..." After the question turned to the direction of embarrassment, Emilia suddenly looked troubled.

Her muttering was the most correct argument, but it would be naive to think that the other party would follow suit.

Nayue Subaru shook his head: "Although I didn't ask until now, does that stolen badge of yours look expensive? Even if the price is called, it's best to understand the market before negotiating."

"... There is a small gem in the middle. I don't know how much it is worth in money, but I can be sure it will not be cheap."

"Gems... this is troublesome." Even poor people with little knowledge should know that a gem can be exchanged for a lot of money.

There should be no imitation technology in this world to make counterfeit gems, so if it looks like a gem, it must be a gem.

That is, gemstones are naturally a symbol of high prices.There was no reason to be optimistic at all, but Subaru felt that Emilia's words were strange. She didn't know how much the badge she held was worth.Although the badge might have been given to her by someone else, she shouldn't be totally unaware of it.

"All in all, let's go to the stolen goods warehouse and think about it first, maybe you can get a good price through negotiation..."

In the worst case, there is still a way to raise funds, but it will be a huge loss for Subaru. After all, his initial equipment is so little... If you add it all up, maybe it can be done. After all, in this world, he brought it from Earth. What comes here must be unique,

The two argued all the way how to get the badge back and walked for about 10 minutes.

Stolen Warehouse——When they walked to the building so called, the two looked at each other.

"It's bigger than I thought."

"Finally, I know why it's called a warehouse instead of a hut. If it's full of stolen things...then no matter how many things there are, it won't be saved."

That's of course, since it's destroyed regularly, it's impossible to pile up with loot.

The loot vault is more imposing than its vulgar name is, looking solid and sturdy.Although it is a one-story house, the number of square meters of the building is comparable to that of a collective housing.

Backed by the tall city wall, it is located in the deepest part of the slum.

"That tall wall behind is..."

"The defensive wall of the royal capital. It seems that we walked from the center of the royal capital to the corner without knowing it." Hearing Emilia's words, Subaru had a hazy map of the royal capital in his mind.

The royal capital is probably square, and the four directions are covered and protected by this kind of defensive city wall.

In the center or northernmost part of the inner wall is the castle, and the farthest from that is where it is now - the slums.

Considering that three or four hours had passed since the search began, the capital seemed to be larger than Subaru had imagined.

"Okay, I think according to the rumors, the owner of the warehouse who manages the stolen goods is inside... But from our standpoint, what attitude should we use to get in?"

"Just go in dignifiedly. Just say that something has been stolen from us, let us look inside, and return it to us if we find it."

However——then the voice fell.
