Twelve Trials from Scratch

Then... was firmly rejected by the other party.

"Thank you for your kindness, but this is my own business, and I don't want to cause trouble to others, and you just paid back my kindness, so please forgive me for refusing."

After the girl said so, no matter what Subaru Natsuki said, or even begged, she didn't mean to give in at all.

Here, the plot diverges from the original novel again, and the reason is naturally Su Qi.If it's just Subaru Natsuki, there's basically no threat, but Parker can't see through his strength and knows too little. In this troubled time, when the badge is robbed, he naturally doesn't want such a person to stay with his daughter.

And Emilia didn't really want to get other people involved in her own affairs, and now that Su Qi, an unknown factor, and Parker's opinion were added, she naturally didn't want to get involved with the two of them anymore. So 486 is a tragedy.

"Hey... I was rejected without leaving any room."

Nayue Subaru hung his head, and sighed like a defeated dog back into the alley.

"With such a ferocious face, and confessing his love when we first met, it's only natural for a girl to reject her."

Su Qi stood at the entrance of the alley, and said as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"I didn't say that..." Natsuki Subaru scratched his hair and said a little irritably, "I just want to help her, I just want to help her, to repay her for saving her life just now."

"Oh..." Su Qi looked at him and said meaningfully: "But besides this, there are some other reasons, right? A certain person was dumbfounded more than once just now."

"Uh……"

Nayue Subaru froze, then blushed, took a deep breath, and said loudly like a broken jar: "Ah, yes, that's it! After all, she is such an earth-shattering and kind-hearted beautiful girl, boy What's wrong with liking a beautiful girl? I just have a crush on her, I just want to be with her, I just can't let go of her, I just want to help her, is there anything wrong with that? No? No? Not at all? I just like her !"

"No." Su Qi nodded affirmatively, "After all, I have experienced that kind of thing, and the girl's appearance is indeed amazing, and it is normal to be attracted."

"and many more……"

Caiyue Subaru suddenly became vigilant, looked at Su Qi and said, "Su Qisang, don't you also like Shatila? It was agreed in advance that even if it is Su Qisang, I will never back down."

"Shatila?"

"It's the young lady's name. I begged repeatedly, and finally got it out."

Silly boy, what you asked was just a fake name...

Taking a sympathetic look at Nayue Subaru with a smug face, Su Qi shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, Shatila's character is a little too weak, it's not my style."

"Nani?" Natsuki Subaru deliberately pretended to be shocked, and said in disbelief: "Impossible! There is no one in this world who is not fascinated by Shatila's charm! It is absolutely impossible! And she is too weak. I can't agree with it! That's gentleness, kindness, and angelic love! In short, Shatila is number one in the world!!"

The excessive volume broke through the narrow alley and spread to the street outside.Immediately, a large number of lunatic-like eyes focused on Nayue Subaru, and the next moment, a nearby street suddenly vacated, and a large number of pedestrians fled in a hurry with fear on their faces.

"Ah, did I say something bad? Why did the people on the street run away, as if they saw something horrible."

"Probably because your love is too fanatical and scalded others."

"Is that so?" Natsuki Subaru was puzzled at first, then put it aside, and said with a little complacency: "Hmph, I am confident that I will never lose my feelings for Shatila to anyone."

"God..." Su Qi made the sign of the cross on his chest solemnly, and said with compassion: "Please save this idiot whose reason has been burned by love, he is still too young, and his life should not end here. "

"Okay, okay, I also know that my tone is too exaggerated..." Caiyue Subaru raised his hands in surrender, and then his eyes were firm, and he said seriously: "But Su Qisang, my intentions are unquestionable, there is no fake in the slightest Oh."

"Understood." Su Qi also put away his joking attitude, and said seriously: "Then, even if Shatila refuses, will you continue to help her?"

"Of course! Even in that case, I will protect her in my own way!"

"Even if you will encounter many unimaginable difficulties later?"

Caiyue Subaru frowned slightly, "Su Qisang, do you know something?"

"I came with you, how could I know? But even so, you can understand it just by looking at it? Such exquisite clothes, and the coat of arms on the sleeves, plus the ability to control elves and use magic , Miss Shatila is definitely not an ordinary person, at least she is also a noble class, so it will definitely not be an easy task for people of unknown origin like us to be with him."

"Indeed..." He sighed, "I am not worthy of her at all, not even qualified to approach her. I have such self-knowledge. But I will not give up. I want to work hard for her until the end One day I will become the person who can stand by her side. As for the difficulties, it is just empty words to say that I can definitely overcome them, so I can only say... I will never give up."

"Okay, I feel your determination, then..."

"Are you going to leave?" Caiyue Subaru's face darkened, and he spoke first, "Su Qisang, thank you for coming back to see me. Although I may be a little disappointed, I understand that you prefer to be alone, right? No need Worry, you can leave at ease, after this lesson, I will pay special attention and take care of myself."

There was a hint of sadness in his tone, but the uneasiness in his heart was much less.Because at this moment, he already has a goal and is no longer confused.His attachment to "Shatila" gave him the courage to face the world.

However, Su Qi said: "Who said I'm leaving?"

"Eh?"

Nayuki Subaru was confused again, why does this guy always not follow the routine?

"Why?" So he asked, "Didn't Su Qisang say..."

"Because you're too weak." Su Qi sighed softly, "After all, I'm not some kind of devil. I can't know that there is a risk and watch the only fellow from my hometown go to death, right? So be grateful to me, Cai Yue Sang, I decided to give you a chance to pay the debt."

Chapter 8 You're such a chat genius

Of course he won't really part ways with Natsuki Subaru, otherwise how can he guide the hero and control the plot close by at all times?The reason why he did that before was just to give Emilia a chance to be a beauty to save the hero, and at the same time shape the character design so that Natsuki Subaru can realize his "sacrifice" and be grateful to himself.

From the beginning to the present, Nayue Subaru has been in Su Qi's routine.In this customs clearance, he positioned himself as a "hero's mentor". He could neither give too much substantial help to the hero, nor be too alienated from the hero, because only by being trusted can the hero follow suit. advance on the path indicated by oneself.

"Arrears?" After listening to Su Qi's words, Caiyue Subaru thought for a while, and said with some doubts: "What Su Qisang means is that he wants me to owe you a favor, in exchange for helping me?"

"Exactly, because my principle of doing things is exchange of equal value." Su Qi looked serious, and said slowly: "If you don't make sacrifices, you won't gain. If you want to get something, you have to pay the same price... Now you I don't have what I want, so I will help you once first, and you will help me once in the future, this kind of deal is fair, right?"

"I see, it's really fair." Nayue Subaru nodded, and then said: "By the way, does Su Qisang know alchemy?"

"Do you think I'm a bean alchemist? Although I don't know alchemy, I also have some special skills that ordinary people don't know."

As Su Qi said, he stretched out his left hand, and a simple and elegant long knife with a sheath quickly appeared in the void in front of him and fell into his palm.

"Hey!? What is this!? Super powers? Magic? Onmyoji!?"

Natsuki Subaru, who thought that an ordinary person like himself suddenly turned into an extraordinary person, was extremely surprised, and felt that his three views had been slightly impacted.

The next moment, a clear sound of clang was heard suddenly, and a cold light tore through the void, flashed across the field of vision like a thunderbolt, and stayed on the side of the neck.The bone-piercing cold air spread, and the terror that a head might fall to the ground at any moment seized his mind, making him freeze in place, with goosebumps forming on the side of his neck.

"It's to prove that I'm not doing business empty-handed."

Su Qi retracted the long knife that was suddenly unsheathed, and a strand of severed hair was blown by the wind, and slowly fell from the blade.

Then, while withdrawing the knife back into its sheath, and retracting the long knife into the exclusive space, he said: "Although the ability to store items cannot be used in combat, I personally know a little bit about swordsmanship. If the opponent is an ordinary person and is not equipped with long-range weapons, Within 20 people, I have full confidence to guarantee your safety."

The blade exuding a sense of danger withdrew from his side, Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body slowly relaxed, looked at the hair on the ground under his feet, and said with some fear: "Can you cut off a hair accurately? Hair, can easily defeat 20 people, Su Qisang has more than a little knowledge of swordsmanship, right?"

He himself had learned kendo when he was in middle school, but he didn't react to the blow just now, let alone see the depth and depth of the move, so he knew better that the opponent's kendo was not as good as he said as simple as that.

Su Qi shook his head slightly, and said nonsense solemnly: "In the other world, it is not uncommon for people with this level of swordsmanship."

"The other world?"

"It is in the shadow of the watch world, beyond the common sense of ordinary people, a world composed of extraordinary people with various abilities. This setting should be easy for Cai Yue-san to understand?"

"Huh? Is there really such a world?" Nayue Subaru was a little excited, "Then what is Su Qisang's profession? Warrior? Superpower? Magician? Onmyoji? Or a Taoist priest unique to China?"

"Those are more detailed classifications. People with supernatural abilities like me are collectively called ability users in the other world, and my ability is a portable storage space, a demon sword bound to the soul, plus my own practice. His swordsmanship and conception, etc..."

After that, Su Qi explained for a while before satisfying Nayue Subaru's curiosity.And in the conversation, in order to prevent the latter from having too much expectation of himself in the future clearance, he deliberately concealed most of his strength, and only used storage space, sword skills, demon knives, and information about his understanding of occultism. inform the latter.

At the end, Su Qi showed an expression of "this man has a story" on his face, and said in a slightly complicated tone: "For some reason, I have retired from the other world, and I just want to live a peaceful life among ordinary people. Life, but I never thought that I would be hit by a truck and sent to another world when I was drunk and walking at night."

"So that's it." Caiyue Subaru felt that he understood, "No wonder Su Qisang said before that he is not an ordinary person, no wonder Su Qisang is so calm even after traveling to another world, is it because of his strength beyond ordinary people?"

"That's right. Then Cai Yuesang, I will provide you with protection for a period of time to help you adapt to this different world, and you owe me a favor to help me in the future. What do you think of such a deal?"

"Without a doubt, of course I agreed with gratitude. After all, I am a weak person, not an idiot." He sighed lightly, and said with some doubts: "But... why is Su Qisang willing to do this? Really? Just out of kindness?"

"You really don't know how to read air, you actually ask such a question directly."

"Uh, I'm very sorry. You should be grateful if someone is willing to help, but you are still guessing in your heart. This kind of thinking is really rude."

"No, you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of preventing others. You did the right thing, but it was a bit inappropriate to ask in person. As for the reason, I will tell you...the reason why I helped you to this extent , in addition to fellowship, there is also the factor of human investment.”

"Human investment?"

"As a time traveler, I thought at first that you might also be from the other world, but you just hid it deliberately and didn't show it. Of course, I now understand that you are not, but I still think that the reason why you time travel is not without reason , so it's worth the investment."

"I understand."

This is how people are. What is too easy to get feels unreliable. Having reasons linked to interests is much easier to accept, especially for outcasts like Natsuki Subaru.

Now that he had a reason that sounded logical, he calmed down temporarily, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to Su Qisang, "Thank you Su Qisang for giving me a chance to pay back, I owe you a favor, please pay me back for a while A lot of advice."

"It's just an equivalent exchange."

Su Qi also reached out to shake him, and said seriously: "However, I declare in advance that I am only providing temporary protection for you as a companion, and the time will not exceed half a month at most. And if you want to pursue that Sha For Miss Tira, you have to work hard on your own, and I won't help."

"Of course, this is enough. But then again, why did Su Qisang be sure from the beginning that I might be in danger?"

"It's very simple, because for Cai Yue-san, who is weak, has a different image from ordinary people, and lacks common sense, this different world where the law of the jungle is more naked is full of dangers."

Pa, as if being pierced by a sharp arrow, Nayue Subaru held his chest and said with a hurt expression: "Master Su Qi, I have already deeply felt the cruel reality that I am too weak and incompetent. Please don't emphasize it any more. Let go of your fragile and pure heart."

Su Qi cast a glance at him, did not answer, and continued: "That's all, what's more dangerous is that Mr. Natsuki Subaru, who is overconfident, still wants to become Princess Shatila's knight. Throwing yourself into something dangerous... without self-knowledge is the most dangerous thing."

"Hmm..." Nayue Subaru was stung by the sharp reality in his heart, and habitually began to use witty words to cover up his embarrassment, "Su Qisang has a bit of a venomous tongue unexpectedly, but for men, even a venomous tongue can't help it." Be cute."

"As a straight man of steel, I don't need to be cute."

Su Qi glanced at him, and that look made the latter feel a sense of shame that was completely seen through, but he said calmly: "As a new security consultant, I am just providing Cai Yuesang with some subjective opinions based on my perspective. Judgment."

Su Qi's role in this world is that of a mentor. The training has already begun since the first meeting, and now it is gradually becoming clear.

"I understand..." Caiyue Subaru let out a breath slowly, and calmed down after getting a little help from Su Qisang just now, "Su Qisang is also doing it for my own good, so I'm sorry for troubling you, but... I Sure enough, I still have to repay Shatila's kindness."

"The current trouble is still within the scope of my acceptance...then how are you going to help her?"

"If you want to help Shatila, you must find the thief, but the question is where to find..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Su Qi.After this period of communication, he knew very well that the latter's thinking was more comprehensive and sharp than his own, so he subconsciously sought the latter's opinion.

"Su Qisang, what do you think we should do?"

However, Su Qi shook his head slightly and said: "It's not us, it's you. I just said that if you want to pursue that Miss Shatila, you need to work hard on your own, right? I don't owe Miss Shatila any favors, so these difficulties You need to overcome it yourself."

That's right, it's me who owes favors, not Su Qisang.It is too selfish to ask others to help you repay the debt you owe...

Although he understands this truth, Nayue Subaru is still inevitably disappointed in his heart, and he is not familiar with the place here, how can he find a thief who has only met once?

"Think instead of asking."

At this time, Su Qi said again: "Everything does not exist in isolation, everyone has their own position, and different positions will have different environments, and different environments will have different rules. Existing rules , there are traces to follow... Think carefully about all the information you know so far, and use this as a basis to deduce, maybe you can think of something."

Natsuki Subaru was slightly taken aback, and then subconsciously followed what he said, thinking silently.

The tattered clothes and the identity of a thief mean that her life is not good; the stolen goods are valuables, which means that she needs to deal with the stolen goods, and it is not so easy to get rid of them.And in the context of the Middle Ages in another world, the most likely place for this kind of existence that has to become a thief at a young age is...

"Slums." Natsuki Subaru's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "The thief probably came from a slum. If we go there, we may be able to find clues about her."
