"Oh, it's you?"
Subaru looked back when he heard the voice and saw Yang Tao, a surprised expression on his face. After experiencing four worlds, he had actually seen Yang Tao three times.
"What do you want from me?"
"I just find you interesting. You seem to have died before."
Subaru's eyes widened when he heard Yang Tao's words: "How do you know?"
Yang Tao smiled mysteriously and casually said: "You exude a deathly aura… I find you very interesting. I wonder if I can follow you for a while?"
Subaru looked at Yang Tao, who was smiling, and for some reason, the woman who had cut open his stomach and commented on his intestines came to his mind.
His expression changed slightly.
"It will be dangerous to follow me…"
"I am very strong."
Subaru was stunned for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on his face.
That's right, this man is very strong! Extremely strong! If he were by his side, that perverted woman definitely wouldn't be able to kill him.
If something went wrong, at most he would just die, and everything would reset anyway.
"My name is Natsuki Subaru, what's yours?"
Only then did he remember that he had seen the other party several times but didn't know his name.
Ding…
He seemed to hear a very strange sound.
He saw the man in front of him extend his hand towards him, and a golden business card floated slowly in his palm.
"This is my business card, please take care of me."
Subaru's eyes immediately lit up. He reached out and took the business card, saying unpretentiously: "That trick of yours is really cool."
He looked at the name on the business card.
"Yang Tao… If you have time, can you teach me that trick?"
"Of course, no problem."
Subaru's face showed an excited expression when he heard Yang Tao agree to his request. That trick of his was really cool, and he had already imagined himself showing off after learning it.
Then he extended his hand in Levi's pose, placing one fist on his chest and the other behind his back, saying to Sword Saint Reinhardt: "Thank you for your assistance, my lord. This humble one, Natsuki Subaru, is deeply grateful and admires your integrity, my lord!"
Reinhardt saw Subaru's comical, oath-like appearance and a smile that Felt like a spring breeze appeared on his face as he said: "There's no need to be so formal."
"They Felt they didn't have absolute confidence with three against two, which is why they ran away. If it were just me alone, I couldn't guarantee…"
Yang Tao: "…"
If he were alone, he couldn't guarantee leaving them alive, right?
However, looking at Sword Saint Reinhardt's radiant appearance, Yang Tao Felt that he said that because he didn't want Subaru to feel bad…
Subaru looked at the handsome Reinhardt, his expression relaxing, and said: "May I call you Mr. Reinhardt?"
"No need for honorifics, Subaru."
"Thank you very much, Reinhardt. You were the only one who came when I called for help. The world is truly cold…"
Yang Tao lightly coughed twice.
Subaru glanced at him and said: "You were already in the alley, so that doesn't count…"
Reinhardt smiled and explained: "For ordinary people, confronting such individuals is too risky. In that regard, your action of calling for the guards was very correct."
Subaru scrutinized Reinhardt's attire. He didn't look like a guard at all. Sword Saint Reinhardt seemed to read his thoughts and immediately explained: "I wasn't on duty today, so I wasn't wearing my uniform."
Then he spread his hands helplessly and said: "I also know my appearance isn't rugged enough."
"By the way, they called you Sword Saint…"
"Because my family background is a bit special, I live a life almost crushed by expectations every day…"
Then Reinhardt very awkwardly changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, Subaru."
"Your hair color and clothing are extremely rare, and your name too…"
"Which country are you from? The situation in Lugnica is a bit more chaotic than usual right now… If you don't mind, I can help."
Subaru immediately said excitedly when he heard the Sword Saint's words: "Then let's go to the Theft Warehouse…"
But then the image of him being killed flashed in his mind, and he lowered his head slightly, avoiding eye contact, and said: "No… nothing…"
"Forget what I said. I can't cause you any more trouble…"
In his opinion, Reinhardt was different from Yang Tao; he was a good person… He didn't want to involve him in his own affairs.
Yang Tao, on the other hand, had a certain purpose, and he had already tried to dissuade him, so he couldn't be blamed…
"I'll figure out the rest myself."
With that, Subaru turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped and said: "If you could help me deliver a message, I'd be very happy."
"Of course, I'd be delighted!"
Subaru described some characteristics of the silver-haired girl, entrusting Reinhardt to warn her not to go to the Theft Warehouse if he encountered her.
The city of Lugnica is a huge city built on a small hill, with the entire city shaped like a ring, and the Theft Warehouse is located in the outermost poor area.
On the way, Subaru was thinking about Felt, and he looked at Yang Tao, who was following him silently, and asked: "Why are you following me?"
"Nothing, I just find you very interesting. Impulsive, reckless, brainless, but kind and trustworthy, and you have a strong inner heart… You will become a strong person, hmm… a berserker-type strong person."
Subaru immediately retorted angrily: "Hey, you're very rude! Who's brainless?!"
Yang Tao looked at his exasperated expression and said with a chuckle: "Of course, it's you!"
"Reinhardt just now was with the City Guard… Why didn't you ask him for help? Logically speaking, theft should be handled by the City Guard, right?"
"I…"
Subaru's face flushed slightly. He stammered for a long time and said: "I just thought it was too dangerous…"
"That's why I said you're both stupid and kind."
Yang Tao walked alongside Subaru and said: "Reinhardt represents the country. Even if he's not an opponent for the enemies, he will gather suitable personnel. Besides… Sword Saint Reinhardt is very strong!"
"However, now that you've refused his help, you'll have to work hard yourself…"
Subaru's face was a bit red after being lectured by Yang Tao, and then he said: "I'm going to find Felt to return the item early…"
Yang Tao gave Subaru a look of concern for a problematic child and didn't speak.
"Hey, Yang Tao, what do you mean by that look?"
"Let's talk about the business card trick instead."
Subaru's thoughts were immediately diverted, and he forgot about his intention to question Yang Tao.
The sun on the horizon had already turned fiery red, and Subaru looked dejected.
There was no other reason; he just became like that after learning that Yang Tao's business card was made of pure gold.
'Learn? Learn my ass! Is this something a poor guy like me can learn??
