I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

……

"Boss! Why did you try to kill me!"

At the Cadmont apple stand, a boy in sportswear slapped a white piece of paper in his hand, looking furious as if he wanted to eat someone alive!

"Young man, don't think you can act like this just because Mr. Anshu is backing you up. Let me tell you, Mr. Anshu is also a reasonable person!"

"If you keep affecting my business like this, I'll beat you up, and I'm sure Mr. Anshu won't say anything!"

Looking at the boss's strong and imposing physique, the boy instinctively felt a little intimidated, but he still couldn't swallow his anger. "I don't know any Mr. Anshu at all! Boss, why are you trying to harm me! We have no grudge against each other!"

"Harm you?" The boss was also annoyed. He had only given him the note that An Shu had entrusted to him. How could that harm him?

But why did he get bruised and swollen after only a short time apart?

"When you came into the store, you told me what you had just done and what was written on the note?"

"You do not know?"

The boy glanced at him suspiciously, thinking to himself, "Is this guy some kind of human trafficking or organ harvesting boss?"

The scar on his face doesn't look like a good person!

Will something bad happen if I go into the store?

Let's just forget about it. What bad luck! I thought I had triggered a plot, but it turns out I was tricked by an NPC!

"I do not……"

The boy was about to refuse, but the owner wouldn't let him have his way. He hung up a "Closed" sign and pulled the boy into the room.

###Chapter 127 I got tricked###

"I must say, boss, these apples taste pretty good. I forgive you!"

"Young man, you really don't know Mr. An Shu?"

"I don't recognize it!" The boy mumbled after taking a bite of the slightly sweet and sour fruit.

"Which remote mountain village are you from? You've never even heard of the president of the number one chamber of commerce on the mainland?"

"I come from a country in the east." Unable to explain, the boy could only try to give a vague answer.

"An eastern country? Lugnica is the easternmost point! Could it be that you came from the other side of the falls?"

The boss was puzzled again. Who was this guy? Had Mr. Anshu given me the wrong piece of paper? But he seemed to be able to read the writing on it!

An Shu didn't give many characteristics back then, just a few: strange clothes, penniless, standing in front of the door in a daze. Over the years, the boss has encountered two or three of them every year.

We did show the slips of paper to people who matched the description, but none of them recognized the contents, so it probably wasn't the right person.

The boss hadn't had high hopes for today, but to his surprise, the young man recognized him at a glance, thanked him, and turned to leave.

Just when the boss thought he had finally completed the other person's request, he didn't expect that this guy would come back with a body full of injuries to settle accounts with him.

"Hmm, I guess so!" The boy picked up a fruit and replied absentmindedly.

This is truly another world! Even the apples taste better than before!

"Hey buddy, that costs money!"

"Huh?" The boy was taken aback, his hand slipped, and he almost dropped the apple on the ground.

Seeing this, the shop owner sighed, "Fine, for Mr. An Shu's sake, you can eat whatever you want!"

"Okay, thank you, uncle!" The boy didn't stand on ceremony and took another big bite before asking, "But boss, you keep talking to me about this Mr. An Shu. What's his relationship with me? I really don't know him!"

"Don't you recognize it?" The shopkeeper was almost convinced, because he had no reason to make fun of him for no reason. He chewed on the grass root he was holding in his mouth and spread out the note on the table. "Young man, can you tell me what's written on this?"

"Boss, are you pretending you can't read?" The boy didn't translate immediately, but instead looked at him resentfully.

"Unable to read? I've traveled all over the country during my years as a mercenary and seen a lot, but I've never seen this kind of writing before. What country's script is this?"

"Japanese isn't a universally used writing system? We all speak the same language..."

Oh well, at least I didn't get any cheat codes... So I guess I'm not the main character after all?

"Bro?"

"Huh?" Hearing the shopkeeper's words, the boy snapped out of his daze and explained, "This is a language from my hometown!"

"Then why do you say you don't know Mr. Anshu? This is what Mr. Anshu gave me! Mr. Anshu is probably from the same hometown as you, right?"

"Hmph! Fellow townsman? That damned Mr. Anshu, when I see him I'll give him a good beating, how dare he play me for a fool?" The shopkeeper's words only fueled the boy's anger. "But could that Anshu also be a transmigrator like me?"

"What time traveler? Dude, what are you talking about? I'm asking you what's written on this!"

Furthermore, you mustn't harbor any ill intentions towards Mr. An Shu. Otherwise, not only will he be able to easily defeat the Sword Saint, but even the common people who have received his favors will not let you off the hook!

"Is it that scary? But I'm so angry! If a kind cat-eared crossdresser hadn't passed by and pried me off the wall to treat me, you probably wouldn't be seeing me right now, boss!"

"What exactly happened just now?" Hearing this, the boss's curiosity was piqued, and he crossed his legs, ready to listen to his story.

"I still believed that An Shu's nonsense. I followed the instructions on the note: 'The boss in front of you is an NPC. Find any strong and powerful male orc and say to him, "Make a contract with me and become a magical girl!" When he tries to hit you, a princess will appear to stop him and trigger the encounter with the princess!'"

"So you actually went, and got slapped against the wall and couldn't get down? Huffing and puffing..." Although he didn't know what an NPC was, that didn't stop him from understanding what it meant.

"Boss, what are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

Now that he'd seen through it, the boss simply let out a hearty laugh, no longer trying to hold it in. "Hahahaha... Interesting! Hahaha..."

"Boss!" The boy, enraged, slammed his hand on the table!

"Sorry, sorry, young man, hahaha..." The boss still couldn't control himself and said with a laugh, "Hahaha, how can there be such an innocent person as you... hahaha..."

Seeing his increasingly dark face, the boss wisely stopped laughing, wiped away his tears, and said, "This note was given to me by Mr. An Shu five years ago. Did you offend him in some way?"

"How could that be! I've never even heard of him! Besides, didn't you say he was very powerful? If I offended him, he wouldn't retaliate like this, would he?"

"That's true..." The boss rested his chin on his hand and smacked his lips twice. "Why don't you go and see Mr. An Shu? He was probably just joking with you and didn't mean any harm!"

"What kind of joke is that!" the boy complained, then asked, "By the way, boss, have you heard of someone who calls himself Little Philly? He's supposedly a knight, he's the one who saved me! But he didn't leave any information, and I was thinking of thanking him properly..."

"Little Philly? Knight? Male, cat ears? Hmm... You must be talking about Lord Felix, Duke Crusch's guardian knight, right? It's probably unlikely you'll get to see him, after all, he's a nobleman."

"Is that so..." The boy nodded with some disappointment, but then his fighting spirit was rekindled. "I'm going to go and confront that An Shu guy. Why did he do this?"

As a seasoned gamer, the boy instinctively felt that going to find An Shu might trigger other plot developments. Didn't he hear the boss say that the piece of paper was written five years ago?

This means that An Shu is very likely from the same place as me, and that he already knew I was coming!

No matter what, I should go there.

"Okay, Mr. Anshu's Chamber of Commerce is headquartered at..."

The boss nodded in approval, but before he could finish speaking, the door lock opened!

Three figures emerged from outside!

###Chapter 128 These days, young people...###

“Girl, come in and have a seat! Oh? I thought you weren’t home because the door was closed!”

A beautiful woman entered first and invited a girl who looked quite young, but her last words were addressed to the boss, which seemed somewhat unexpected.

"Daddy!" The little girl who followed behind ran in and jumped into the boss's arms.

The boss smiled and patted her head, then asked his wife, "A customer has arrived? And who is this young lady?"

"Oh, right, young lady, I still don't know your name!" The proprietress slapped her forehead, realizing the same thing, and hurriedly asked.

"Lia, my daughter's name is Lia, isn't she cute?"

Before the girl could speak, a fluffy kitten popped out from above her head and answered for her.

"An elf?" The boss was clearly taken aback. The girl in front of him was an elven sorcerer? And she had silver hair at that? Why did his wife bring her back?

Immediately afterward, he composed himself, stood up, pushed a chair towards her, and said, "Oh, it's Miss Leah. Please have a seat!"

"No, no need, I have other things to do." The girl shook her head, hugged the kitten to her chest, and continued, "My things were stolen, boss. My boss and I came here to inquire about a blond thief, who is about ten years old and seems to have a wind-elemental blessing!"

The landlady told me her name was something like Ferute. Do you know where she is now?

“Felt?” Cadmon looked at his wife with a puzzled expression and shook his head. “I don’t know either, but you can go to Lord Rom’s tavern and see. Felt usually has Lord Rom dispose of the stolen goods after she steals them!”

"Then, may I ask where the tavern is?"

"On West Street, in the old slum area!"

"Okay, thank you, boss!" The girl nodded, thanked the boss, and then waved to the little girl on the boss's lap, "Don't run around alone like that again!"

"Okay, goodbye, sister!" The little girl nodded obediently and waved goodbye.

The proprietress, however, tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Miss Liya, won't you stay a little longer? I'll go boil some water to quench your thirst."

"No need, thank you, Auntie!" With a polite smile, the girl lifted the curtain and walked out of the shop.

"Wife, who is she?"

"I went shopping this morning, and when I came back I found my daughter was missing. Miss Leah helped me find her!"

"Really? So she's probably not a bad person. I was even planning to warn that brat Felt to run away. How dare she steal from an elven sorcerer!"

"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have told her! It's good to teach Felt a lesson. A girl like her, doing such bad things, how will she ever get married!"

"Haha, don't worry about that, we still have Grandpa Rom to handle it! By the way! Bro, didn't you just say you were going to..."

The boss laughed and replied to his wife, only then realizing that he had overlooked the boy next to him.

When the boss looked over, he found him spacing out, so he shook his shoulder. "Hey buddy? Hey buddy?"

"I think I'm in love..." The boy still ignored him and just murmured this sentence.

"Uncle!"

"What's wrong!" The sudden increase in volume startled the boss, who nearly dropped his daughter.

"I'm not going to see that An Shu anymore, I'm going to pursue love! Goodbye, Uncle!" With that, he rushed out, not forgetting to grab two fruits along the way.

"This..." The proprietress also seemed hesitant to speak, not quite understanding the situation.

“These young people nowadays…” the shopkeeper sighed, holding his daughter, and explained, “That young man seems to be the one Mr. Anshu asked us to deliver the note to, but he doesn’t seem to know Mr. Anshu… I gave him the note today, but, but, hahaha…”

As if he had thought of something, the boss couldn't help but laugh.
