Habitual head pat

"Speaking of which, what did you lose?" Shi Chen asked Satella as they left the alley.

Satella ultimately couldn't refuse Parker's suggestion and asked Shichen and the others for help, since they did know more about the thief than she did.

"It's a badge."

"A badge? Is it important?"

"Yes, it's very important." Satella nodded.

"I see. Then let's search in the direction he just ran away. I know what she looks like; we can ask a passerby."

"Then... I'll have to trouble you." Satella hesitated for a moment, then accepted Shichen's offer.

"Hmm~ Something feels off." Natsuki Subaru walked behind, stroking his chin as he looked at Toki and Satella, who were leading Esther by the hand.

"Is something wrong?" Parker asked, as it flew right in front of him.

"I don't know why, but I inexplicably feel that they are a good match."

"Is that so? I'd like to say that too, but my daughter isn't someone I can just hand over so easily."

"Your daughter? Satella? Really?"

"Of course not by blood, but it's close enough."

"I see, so that's how the old man felt." Natsuki Subaru nodded in understanding.

"You know a lot."

"Haha, I've felt that way too."

"I see, I see."

The human and the elf unexpectedly found themselves getting along well.

As Toki and Satella walked ahead, they naturally heard their conversation. It wasn't that he didn't care about Subaru Natsuki and Puck getting along well.

He wasn't interested in Parker.

Aside from being slightly cute, this guy is utterly useless. He not only hinders Amy Satella's growth but also only attacks internally.

Externally, it has no effect whatsoever.

The most crucial element is the male.

He didn't ask Esther about her feelings for Satella, not just because now wasn't the right time.

He had already guessed it.

It's not because "she" emphasized that he brought Esther along, but also because Esther knew Artoria and the others before, and it's reasonable for her to know Satella now.

"Time, please wait a moment."

After walking a few steps, Satella suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Let me inquire about the situation first."

"?" Shi Chen looked at her, puzzled.

Satella didn't explain further. Instead, she leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and then her small lips began to move, as if she were chanting a spell.

"What is she doing?" Natsuki Subaru asked as he stepped forward.

"I don't know." Shi Chen shook his head and looked at Parker questioningly.

"Well, to put it simply, she's talking to the micro-elves."

"Micro-elves? What does that mean? They're inferior to elves, right?"

"Do you know?" Parker looked at the time.

"Sorry, I didn't know." Shi Chen shrugged and replied bluntly.

He genuinely didn't know what a micro-elf was. He understood the literal meaning of the word, but he didn't know the specific concept.

What impressed him most about this world were witches, power, and protection, oh, and the color blue.

I really want to see her soon.

"Really? That's fine then."

Parker didn't mind and began to explain: "The so-called micro-sprites refer to beings that begin to have intelligence before becoming sprites. After a while, they will develop power and self-awareness and become sprites like me."

"I see... Oh, Natsuki Subaru looked at Satella in surprise. A faint, hazy light gradually appeared around the girl, like fireflies.

Dreamlike, ethereal light began to surround the silver-haired girl; it was the micro-sprites responding to her.

Such a dreamlike scene leaves one speechless.

"Is this the micro-elves?" Shi Chen unconsciously raised his hand and reached towards the light spot.

An incredible scene unfolded: the points of light left Satella and rushed towards the hour.

In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded, and there was no light left around Satella.

"Huh!" Satella opened her eyes, staring at the scene in disbelief.

"Oh~ Are elves really that friendly?" Puck nodded in admiration.

"Shichen! You're amazing! Are all these light, floating things micro-sprites?"

"wait-!"

As Natsuki Subaru spoke, he also reached out to touch the micro-spirit, just like Tokiomi, but he acted like an intruder, instantly shattering the dreamlike fantasy scene.

The light surrounding the hour began to panic, as if uneasy or disgusted, and scattered.

"Haha, they're starting to panic," Parker laughed.

"No way?" Natsuki Subaru looked annoyed.

Because of him, all the light instantly dissipated like mist and disappeared.

"It's gone! What do we do?"

Satella frantically searched for the vanished micro-sprites, but they did not respond to her again.

"Wow! I'm sorry! It was my first time seeing a micro-puppy, so I got a little too excited and couldn't resist touching it... I'm sorry!"

"Micro-sprites are very dangerous. They were only safe because they were under my control just now. If you did something like that to an inexperienced elven mage, the consequences would be dire. In the worst-case scenario, the elven would go out of control and explode with a bang," Satella warned.

"Really? That's too much! The micro-elves look so sparkly and beautiful, are they really that dangerous?"

"Haha, look at me, even though I'm so cute, I can turn you into dust in just two seconds." Parker said the terrifying words calmly.

"Elves are so scary!"

"Remember to be more careful next time." Shi Chen patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes! Definitely!" Natsuki Subaru nodded vigorously.

"Um, I can't contact the Micro Fairy anymore, what should I do? You can..." Satella looked at the time, her eyes filled with hope.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why they're so close to me, so I can't contact them." Shi Chen shook his head.

"Oh, I see..." Satella said dejectedly.

"It's all my fault!" Natsuki Subaru bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle to apologize.

"It's nothing, a small problem. There's always a way to solve a problem. By the way, what were you trying to do just now?" Shi Chen asked.

"I wanted to ask them if they had any clues about what I was looking for, but I hadn't had a chance to ask yet..."

'

"I'm so sorry!" Natsuki Subaru lowered his head even further.

"It's okay, it's alright."

Satella, unable to tolerate Subaru's behavior, waved her hand, "Anyway, some time has passed. Micro-Spirits don't have the clear consciousness of fully formed Spirits, so I wasn't really looking forward to it. 'Isn't this something to look forward to?! Sorry!'"

As soon as Natsuki Subaru looked up, he saw Satella's downcast expression, and felt even more guilty.

"No, that's... I'm the one who should apologize..." Satella's face showed remorse. She clearly wanted to lessen the other person's guilt, but she couldn't hide her true emotions.

"Why are you apologizing now?"

Shi Chen sighed helplessly and couldn't help but reach out and rub the straightforward girl's hand.

Her silver hair was soft and silky, and cool to the touch; it felt wonderful. Shi Chen couldn't help but rub it a couple more times.

"Um..." Satella blinked, staring blankly at him.

"Ah, sorry, it's just a habit, I always treat Esther like this..."

"..." Shi Chen casually withdrew his hand.

"No, it's okay..." Satella blushed and shook her head shyly.

"Alright, don't apologize anymore. You'll only make things difficult for her." Toki patted Natsuki Subaru on the back.

"Ah, oh, okay..." Natsuki Subaru straightened up, but still kept his head down in shame.

"You guys are really something..."

'

Shi Chen shook his head and sighed, "We don't need to rely on the micro-spirits. Actually, finding that brat is quite easy."

"Really?" Satella looked at him in surprise.

"Brother Shi!" Subaru Natsuki excitedly grabbed his arm.

Shi Chen naturally shook off his hand and said, "This should be the capital, right? In such a big city, there's a girl who makes a living by stealing, and judging from her clothes, she obviously doesn't live a comfortable life... So, where would she live?"

Woolen cloth?"

The clock seemed to pause for a moment, only to find Satella and Subaru Natsuki looking at him with a puzzled expression.

He could only continue explaining, "...There must be places here with terrible security, or maybe some kind of slum, right?"

"Brother Shi, what do you mean?" Natsuki Subaru realized.

"Yes, that little girl will definitely go back to that kind of place. As long as we find her first, regardless of whether the items have been resold, we'll have a direction."

"Wow—as expected of Brother Toki!" Natsuki Subaru exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

"You're very smart, buddy," Parker praised.

"Are you still panicking?" Shichen asked Satella with a smile.

"No, um, thank you..." The girl gave an embarrassed smile.
