Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

"Miss, we don't want to hurt you either, so please leave your valuables behind and then leave."

"Why bother talking to her so much? I think the most valuable thing she owns is that outfit. We might as well just take it off."

"..."

Satella, who was about to run into the street for help, stopped, lowered her head, her beautiful red eyes flashed slightly, and when she raised her head again, her delicate face showed a timid expression: "I'll give you all my valuables, please don't take off my clothes, okay?"

The three thugs exchanged glances and burst into laughter: "That depends on how valuable your stuff is."

“I have a magic device here…” Satella pulled out her Samsung Note 8.

Despite the shattered screen, the Samsung Note 8's exquisite design, combining fashion and technology, along with its beautiful obsidian-like color, deeply attracted the inhabitants of this other world who had never seen anything like it before.

Even if it's not a magical artifact, it must be able to sell for a lot of money just based on this kind of craftsmanship, right?

The three thugs were consumed by greed.

"Let me see it!"

The shortest and greediest of the three thugs, Thug C, couldn't wait any longer and came over to Satella, demanding her phone.

"for you."

Satella slowly handed over the phone, but just before it touched thug C's hand, she jerked her arm away—

Snapped!

Satella's Samsung Note 8 was pressed directly against thug C's face.

Yes, Satella herself wasn't very strong, but as the saying goes, if you don't have enough damage, you can make up for it with a weapon. A 6.3-inch Samsung Note 8 is almost as powerful as a brick, not to mention that Satella used the corner of the phone to attack thug C's nose.

Immediately, Thug C's nose collapsed, tears streamed down his face, blood gushed from his nose, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.

"What are you saying about trying to strip me naked... You experienced monsters, don't be so arrogant!!!" At this moment, Satella finally revealed her fangs.

"Damn it, they actually dared to lay a hand on me!"

The most muscular-looking thug, number two, lunged at her. Satella tried to take a picture of his face with her phone, but he blocked it with his arm, which was thicker than Satella's waist.

Do you think this kind of attack will work on me?

"You think my attack is from above?"

Satella raised her leg and kicked thug B in the groin.

"Click!"

Amidst a subtle, cracking sound, Thug B's eyes went blank, and he hopped around a couple of times like a zombie, then collapsed to the ground, convulsing in pain, unable to even scream.

"I'll kill you!"

The thug A, wielding two swords, attacked silently from behind, slashing down at Satella's slender neck from the most unbelievable angle.

However, Satella seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, and dodged at the last second.

"Phew, that was close!"

Watching the few strands of silver hair fluttering in the air, Satella patted her chest, thankful that she had the [Premonition Perception] skill.

The so-called "premonition perception" is one of Kamijou Touma's four major skills.

Due to his unfortunate physical condition, Touma Kamijou is always harassed by delinquents. Through years of battles with these delinquents, Touma Kamijou eventually honed the skill of "Signal Perception".

Just as the name suggests, it allows him to keenly anticipate the opponent's attack trajectory and dodge it before the opponent launches an attack.

Of course, being able to sense an attack is one thing, but being able to dodge it is another. If the opponent's attacks are too fast or too frequent, or if one's own physical abilities are not good, then this skill is useless.

That's why Satella used a scheme to first eliminate thugs B and C, leaving only thug A, who would no longer pose a threat to Satella.

No matter how hard Thug A swung his dual swords, he couldn't hit Satella. Satella was like a beautiful butterfly flitting through the flashing blades. Finally, she slapped Thug A in the face with her Samsung Note 8, ending the battle.

After tying up the three groaning thugs, Satella stepped on thug A's face. Looking at thug A groaning under her foot, she suddenly felt a subtle sense of pleasure. Her beautiful red eyes shone with a brighter light than usual, and a strange attribute seemed to be slowly awakening within her.

However, she quickly banished this strange thought from her mind, put her hands on her hips, and said in a cute, arrogant manner, "Judging from your usual behavior, you should know where the slum's scrap metal exchange is, right? Take me there right now! Otherwise, I'll whip you!"

"We know, we know." The trio of thugs nodded vigorously.

"Tch, a few thugs, and they're actually so pragmatic." Satella pursed her lips with a hint of regret, her cherry-colored lips becoming even redder with excitement, like vibrant poppies.

However, she was a good girl who kept her word. She immediately abandoned the other two thugs, took the low-budget Accelerator with her, and embarked on a journey to find Emilia.

Just after she left, a knight with fiery red hair leaped down from the rooftop. Watching Satella's departing figure, he stroked his chin and murmured, "No magical reaction whatsoever. It seems it wasn't that person..."

Chapter 10 Satella, the Master Makes Her Debut

Is this the place?

Despite not having any information from the fruit stand vendor, Emilia and Subaru eventually arrived at the slum's scrap metal exchange.

Moreover, because the plot of accompanying the little girl to find her mother was omitted, they actually arrived here earlier than in the original story. If converted to real time, it would be around 4:30.

So, for Mr. Parker, who works a 9-to-5 job, there's still about half an hour left for his 'work'.

"If the information they provided is correct, this should be the place."

Natsuki Subaru glanced at the dilapidated house in front of him. Although he was a little scared, the thought of showing off in front of the beautiful girl still prevailed.

He suggested to Emilia very solicitously, "Anyway, I'll go in and take a look first, and you can keep watch outside for me."

“Actually, you didn’t have to go to this extent,” Emilia said, tapping her chin with a hint of distress. “I don’t even know you, and I haven’t done anything that deserves your thanks. You’re just putting me in a difficult position.”

"Such blunt and hurtful words." Natsuki Subaru exaggeratedly pretended to have been shot in the heart, but then immediately smiled and said, "Then consider it as me repaying your sister for her kindness. After all, your sister saved my life."

"Um……"

Hearing Subaru mention the word "older sister," Emilia felt a little conflicted. Just as Subaru followed her hoping to meet his benefactor, the beautiful girl, Emilia's willingness to keep Subaru by her side was perhaps also a way of hoping to meet her legendary older sister.

However, he said, "How do you know she's my sister? Maybe she's my younger sister?"

"No, no, no, comparing your personalities, you look more like the younger sister!"

"Are you saying I look childish?!"

"Alright, Lia, stop fooling around!" Parker flew down from above Emilia's head, seemingly trying to mediate, but his words only seemed to add fuel to the fire.

"What?! Even Parker is bullying me? I'm not little at all, I'm already quite old!"

To prove her maturity, Emilia put her hands on her hips, tried her best to straighten her chest, and raised her little head—this posture didn't show any maturity at all, but her cuteness level was off the charts!

Natsuki Subaru put his hands together in an exaggerated manner and said, "Please stop acting cute. Although my will is as strong as steel, if you keep doing this, I'm afraid I'll fall in love with someone else."

"Who...who's acting cute? And what's this about falling for someone else?!"

"Who's making such a racket at my doorstep?!"

With a loud crash, the door of the dilapidated house was suddenly pushed open, interrupting Subaru Natsuki's conversation with Emilia.

"Dangdang!"

"Dangdang!"

Even the wooden planks beneath their feet trembled as someone emerged from the doorway—a person impossible not to pay attention to.

"Hey... I know this is another world, but this kind of person is a bit too much..."

For a fleeting moment, Natsuki Subaru suspected that the other person hadn't come out from inside the door, but rather had 'squeezed' out from inside.

Because the opponent's body was simply too burly. Although the bald man looked quite old, his arms, which were thicker than Natsuki Subaru's chest, displayed a power that could destroy everything in its path.

Standing before such a strong old man whom he had to look up to, Natsuki Subaru felt immense pressure.

Emilia, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed.

The half-elf girl, hands on her hips, looked at Subaru Natsuki with an air of superiority and said, "Is he the one who stole my badge?"

"If someone that big also has that kind of agility, then it's really impossible to play!"

Natsuki Subaru shook his head in denial, and just then, he saw a blonde loli walking out behind the old man.

"Got you!"

"What?! You actually tracked me all the way here?"

Subaru Natsuki pointed at the blonde loli Felt, while Felt pointed at the silver-haired girl Emilia, and the two spoke at the same time.

"I won't let you jump this time!"

A dozen or so icicles appeared around Emilia, but she didn't attack immediately. Kind-hearted, she hoped to persuade the other party with words.

"Please, that's something very important to me. I would be very grateful if you could return it to me."

"Who wants your gratitude!"

Felt jumped back and bent over, assuming a fighting stance. The old man, Rom, beside her asked, "Felt, what exactly is going on?"

"Sorry, Mr. Rom, this is the unfortunate owner of the lost property that I took care of. I didn't expect her to be able to track me down here. But I can handle her myself, so there's no need to trouble you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are two people on the other side. How can I let you fight alone?"

Amidst the deafening roar, the elder of the giant race hoisted a thick, long wooden club onto his shoulder and assumed a fighting stance as well.

"Huh, two people?" Natsuki Subaru pointed to his nose and said, "So, I'm included too?"

"Don't flatter yourself, buddy. We're talking about the elf on her shoulder," Felt said mercilessly.

"So I'm not even as good as a cat?"

Natsuki Subaru looked utterly devastated, but he was also self-aware enough to know that he couldn't play any role in such a battle.

but……

I can't just stand by and watch! I'm the protagonist who transmigrated to another world! In this situation, there must be something only I can do, right? Saving a beautiful girl in crisis and then getting a huge increase in her affection level—isn't that the standard plot of a light novel?

Although he thought so in his heart, even Natsuki Subaru probably didn't believe it. Looking around like this was purely to dispel the panic in his heart.

But at that moment, he saw a black shadow, moving at an incredible speed and without a sound, darting towards Emilia's back.

Before he could even think about what it was, Natsuki Subaru instinctively shouted, "Watch out behind you!"
