Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Page 6

She really hadn't expected that the silver-haired half-elf whose medal she had stolen would have such good stamina.

Her speed is in no way slower than Felt's, who possesses the Wind's Blessing. (Note: The Wind's Blessing is not Felt's blessing, but rather her own ability.)

Even their endurance is superior.

If she hadn't relied on her familiarity with the terrain to maneuver through the alleys, she probably would have been caught long ago.

Next, all she had to do was wait for her employer, who was dressed very sexily and had a beauty mark near his eye, to arrive that evening, hand her the medal, and then wait to collect her money.

But just a moment after thinking that, Ferut suddenly froze.

She stared blankly at the two people who appeared at her doorstep.

Long red hair, a dragon sword at his waist—that's the swordsman Reinhard.

The other man, with long black hair, also looked familiar.

Wait, it's the man who was talking to the white-haired half-elf when she robbed him.

He seemed to call Fang Sha "Three Knives"!

She was able to succeed so easily because the other party had distracted her.

But why are these two guys at my doorstep?

Could it be that this fierce-looking man knew her address and brought the Sword Saint Reinhard here to wait for her?

Ferut was so frightened that she almost turned around and tried to run away.

However, the Sword Saint's reputation was simply too terrifying. Furthermore, she had just finished a protracted battle and had very little energy left.

Even if they run, they probably can't escape.

'No, maybe I'm overthinking it,' Ferut thought to herself.

She was very fast when she stole, and because of the angle, the thief could only see her back.

There's no reason to conclude that she did it so quickly.

Furthermore, if these two were really there to arrest her, they should have acted the moment they saw her.

But neither of them did.

In other words, the other person might just be passing by. If that's the case, perhaps...

Ferut forced herself to suppress her fear and tried to remain calm as she passed by the two of them as if nothing was wrong.

But just when it seemed like we were about to pass each other by!

A sudden change has occurred!

“You… look so familiar,” Natsuki Subaru suddenly said.

He glanced at the blonde girl beside him with a scrutinizing look, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Ferut's heart sank; sure enough, the other party recognized her.

Her hand unconsciously moved behind her.

Her dagger was hidden there.

Reinhard keenly observed this scene, but did not react in any particular way.

In his view, Ferut's strength was not worth his concern.

He also estimated that this was probably insignificant to Subaru Natsuki as well.

Although Natsuki Subaru is insane, he is still powerful enough to draw the Dragon Sword.

They should have at least that much strength.

"Ah! I remember now!" Natsuki Subaru suddenly shouted before Felt could make her move.

Ferut's heart was in her throat.

But then Natsuki Subaru said, "Little sister, are you lost?"

That's right, Natsuki Subaru finally 'remembered' who the little girl in front of him was.

He remembered that when he first came to this world in his first playthrough, he and Sha Sandao helped a lost little girl.

Now that the blonde little girl looked familiar to him, he was certain that she was the lost little girl.

"Huh?" Felt was taken aback upon hearing this, realizing that this was a good opportunity to avoid a direct confrontation with the Sword Saint.

So she decisively loosened her grip on the knife handle, feigned innocence, and said, "No, that's right, I really am lost."

Reinhard looked at Felt.

Even without protection, he could tell it was a lie.

However, he still didn't intend to say anything, wanting to see what was going on with Ferut.

"Don't be afraid, just come with us, we'll take you to your mother!"

Natsuki Subaru reached out and grabbed Felt's arm, speaking with great confidence.

"No, don't bother. I'll go find it myself..." Ferut's smile had already stiffened.

Follow those two? She'd be running for her life!

"It's alright, it's just doing a good deed every day. I know best how painful it is to not be able to find your parents, after all... never mind, you wouldn't understand."

Natsuki Subaru's face showed a sad expression as he said this.

He sighed and didn't continue.

Reinhard, who was standing to the side, was taken aback by this expression.

He thought of his relationship with his parents, and subconsciously thought:

'Subaru, do you also have any regrets about your parents? Like me...'

However, what he didn't know was that Subaru Natsuki's sad expression wasn't because of his parents at all.

Rather... it was... the parents of his former lord, Cao Cao...

That was a day that Natsuki Subaru would never forget during the Three Kingdoms period.

At that time, although he had not yet surrendered to Cao Cao, he was still wandering around Xuzhou with the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

But the mournful cries that echoed throughout the Central Plains, especially over Xuzhou and Yanzhou, could still be heard—

"Father, you died such a tragic death!"

"I'm so sorry, my child~~~"

"Heavens above!"

"Father~~~~"

"Your child is unfilial~~~"

It all started from that day...

His understanding of the will of Heaven during the Three Kingdoms period...

With a clearer understanding...

Chapter 6: 006. Ang, what are you thinking about?

[To meet the recommendation deadline, I've updated 16,000 words in a burst. There's still room for revision in the later chapters. If you see any grammatical errors or typos, please point them out in the comments. I'll appoint the person who points it out as a Grand General!]

What's wrong with this person?

Felt looked at Subaru Natsuki, who was suddenly putting on a melodramatic act, with a puzzled expression.

She had no feelings for her parents and wasn't affected by Subaru Natsuki's emotions.

After all, she had grown up with Grandpa Rom since she was a child.

So she still insisted:

"You're such a kind person, but it's really not necessary. I can go find my parents myself."

"Hey! What are you saying? How can I leave a lost little girl alone? You have to come with us!"

Natsuki Subaru is very tough.

This left Ferute completely exasperated.

Since she couldn't escape, she could only accept her fate and follow the two of them for the time being.

Presumably, if they can't find their parents after a long time, the two of them will let go.

Unexpectedly, after seeing that she remained silent, Natsuki Subaru still didn't take any immediate action. Instead, he spoke up:

"Ferut, why won't you lead the way?"

"Huh? I'll lead the way?" Felt looked confused.

Didn't I say I'd take her to find her parents? Why does she have to lead the way?

"That's right, how are we supposed to find your parents if you don't lead the way?"

Natsuki Subaru looked at Felt with the same confusion, while his hand remained tightly gripping Felt's palm.

Reinhard, who was standing to the side, seemed to have gotten used to Subaru Natsuki's peculiar thought process and silently turned his head to the side.

"I...I'm lost," Ferut emphasized awkwardly.

"Hmm? So, you have to lead us to your parents so you don't get lost," Natsuki Subaru said seriously, not jokingly.

“But if I could find my parents, I wouldn’t be lost.” Ferut’s smile became somewhat stiff.

What's going on with this black-haired man in front of me?

It was very strange from the very beginning.

To immediately say she's a lost little girl is not a normal reaction at all.

In an instant, a bad feeling crept into her heart.

Felt glanced discreetly at Reinhard, who had remained silent throughout.

The red-haired knight simply stood there quietly, yet he exuded an oppressive aura that was impossible to escape.

Ferut's heart sank slightly.

Is it...

Do these two already know that they have the medal?

No, that's not right.

If that were truly the case, given the strength of that world-renowned sword saint, I would probably already be pinned to the ground and searched by now.

But if they knew nothing at all,

Why does that dark-haired man keep bothering me, both verbally and physically?

How much does he actually know?

Ferut felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it.

She looked at Subaru Natsuki warily, fearing that he might suddenly attack her.

However, after hearing what she had just said, Natsuki Subaru did not make a move as she had expected. Instead, he showed a look of shock.

It was as if my worldview had been greatly impacted.

what?

If you get lost, can't you find your way home on your own?

This other world is so strange!

No wonder Reinhard said earlier that going in the opposite direction was wrong!

Natsuki Subaru suddenly realized how much he missed the Three Kingdoms period.
