Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 26 Uncle's Shameful Memories

"This is a rare, talking orc! I'm exhausted from bringing him here; the labor fee alone must be more than three copper coins!"

Upon hearing the price offered by the slave traders, the tavern owner was immediately enraged. Yosuke Shima had 27 copper coins on him before, plus the 3 copper coins he was now selling, which only amounted to 30 copper coins in total. That wasn't even enough to buy a plate, and it was still far from covering his losses.

"So, if you were the customer, would you buy this strangely-looking orc?"

Upon hearing what the head of the slave trader said, the tavern owner glanced at Shima Yosuke, whose face was bruised and swollen, and fell silent. At that moment, he instantly understood why Shima Yosuke was worthless.

The conversation between the two became one of Yosuke Shima's most painful memories. After mastering communication with spirits and thus being able to use memory magic, this was the first memory that Yosuke Shima erased.

If it weren't for the fact that he was currently explaining what happened after the separation to Yosuke Shima, he wouldn't want to recall those memories at all.

With the idea that even a small amount is still something, the tavern owner eventually sold Shima Yosuke and left with the copper coins from the sale, looking dejected.

However, Yosuke Shima, who was sold, had a miserable time. He was first locked in a cage in the exhibition shop and then completely forgotten by the shop owner after a week. After that, he was starved to the point that his appearance has changed.

He barely survived by drinking leaking rainwater, and in order to maintain his mental sanity, he began to talk to himself and the moonlight.

Because of his "all-powerful persuasive" ability, Yosuke Shima unintentionally communicated with a spirit of light, used light magic, and was finally able to escape.

After silently listening to Yosuke Shima's story, Yoru was speechless.

If he remembered correctly, Yosuke Shima seemed to have said "a good start" about his situation before?

Is this considered a good start? It's practically a hellish start! If it were someone with a weaker will or worse luck, they would have been wiped out long ago!

As an ordinary person, I was locked up alone and starved for a week, and I was able to survive on rainwater alone.

Moreover, after spending a week alone in a closed and dark environment without interacting with any living beings, this guy didn't go crazy and even successfully discovered the correct way to use his cheat!

Based on this experience alone, Ye Cheng can now basically confirm that Shima Yosuke is the so-called Child of the World. Even though his experience was indeed a bit miserable, it is undeniable that he should be the protagonist of this world.

What impressed Ye Cheng even more was that after experiencing such a thing, it didn't leave Shima Yosuke with too much psychological trauma, which shows how strong his heart is.

Compared to the week-long, inhumane imprisonment, this guy was actually more bothered by the fact that he was only worth three copper coins...

"Night City, your previous guess was indeed correct. The 'Omnipotent Persuader's' ability is not only to communicate with humans and other creatures in this world, but also to communicate with micro-elves that ordinary people cannot see."

And it is precisely because of this that I am now able to use various kinds of magic. As long as I communicate with the micro-sprites in the air and reach an agreement, I can use all kinds of magic.

When talking about this, Yosuke Shima's expression was clearly quite excited. After all, he had made a successful start and was no longer completely helpless in this other world.

"Magic can be explained by the help of elves, but what about the magical power in your body?"

When we first met, you were just an ordinary person, right? But the extent of your magical power increase now is just too outrageous!

That's right, the magical power emanating from Shima Yosuke was another aspect that surprised Yoruichi. Logically speaking, even if Shima Yosuke was the chosen one of the world, his cheat-like abilities shouldn't be this outrageous, especially considering that only nine days had passed. Before, Shima Yosuke was an ordinary person with no strength whatsoever; even a slightly stronger ordinary person from another world could easily beat him with one hand.

But Ye Cheng was surprised to find that the magical power on Shima Yosuke was quite astonishing. Although it was not as good as his own, it had already surpassed that of the elf girl Cui.

If judged by the levels of human adventurers, Yosuke Shima is now at least an A-rank adventurer, and definitely among the top tier of adventurers.

However, Yosuke Shima completed this transformation from an ordinary person in less than nine days.

"After escaping from the slave trading guild, a lot of things happened."

Driven by hunger, and in order to escape pursuit and find food, I had no choice but to run back to the forest I had been in before.

Then, by chance, I entered a secret realm. After slaying the monsters there, I also received the reward for completing the level: a cup of colorful juice that looked pretty good.

Because I was so hungry at the time, I didn't care whether it was drinkable or not, and gulped it down. Afterwards, I found that my conversations with the elves became much easier, and the magic I used was more powerful.

Hearing Yosuke's explanation, Yoshiro felt envious again. They were all time travelers, so why was there such a big difference?

Aside from being sold into slavery due to his low initial charm stat, Yosuke Shima's subsequent experiences were almost like cheating, with his luck stat being practically EX level.

He had recently conquered an underground labyrinth, but apart from the target, there was absolutely nothing inside, so where would the mysterious reward come from?

However, when Ye Cheng saw that Shima Yosuke's cheekbones were sunken and he looked prematurely aged, he instantly felt better. Shima Yosuke had completely traded his looks for strength this time.

If Ye Cheng had such a choice, he definitely wouldn't choose it. After all, strength can be gradually honed and improved, but being handsome is a lifelong thing.

"What are your plans next? Do you want to come back to town with me?"

With your current strength, those people who captured you before shouldn't dare to do anything to you anymore, right?

Upon hearing Ye Cheng's question, Shima Yosuke hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head and refusing, saying, "Let's forget it. We finally got away from there, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."

Besides, I'm currently trying to find a way back to my original world. Staying in that town is less efficient than traveling the world looking for clues.

Afterwards, Yoshiro and Yosuke Shima traveled together for a while because they were going the same way, and ended up in a village.

Yosuke Shima planned to rest and replenish supplies in this village, while Yorujo brought the corpse of the Demon Poison Dragon to collect his reward.
