"That's enough, Parker!"
As the two of them went further and further into their arguments, Emilia gently reprimanded Puck.
"My daughter is angry. Let's talk another day when we have time. You can think about what I'm saying."
Parker blinked and returned to Emilia's side.
"Is this kid still not awake? Should we put him down and go find the person who stole the badge?"
Emilia picked up the badge and looked at Hao Yun. Seeing that he didn't react, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Parker!"
Emilia glared at Parker, telling him to shut up.
"Don't worry, tell him it's okay, right, Hao Yun?"
Parker smiled at Hao Yun, and the two started playing around again.
Hao Yun, who hadn't petted a cat in a long time, had a wonderful time this time. The fluffy fur and soft little paw pads were so comforting!
If there weren't only one Endless Beast in this world, Hao Yun would have wanted to catch one so he could pet it every day.
The unconscious Natsuki Subaru slowly woke up, covering his forehead. He found that the girl he had seen before he lost consciousness was still beside him, and his cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Hello!
Emilia smiled gently and stood up.
"I'm so glad you're alright. But as payment for saving you, could you tell me where the thief who stole my things is?"
Emilia was very cute when she said those words.
"Is this another world? It's so wonderful."
Distracted, Subaru stared at Emilia and muttered to himself.
"Cough cough!"
Emilia couldn't help but cough, finally pulling Subaru's thoughts back from where they had wandered off to.
According to Hao Yun's estimation, Lai Yue An has probably already thought about what to name their child after they get married.
"The thief who stole your things? Is he this tall, with blond hair?"
Natsuki Subaru recalled the beautiful girl who had first barged into the alley.
"Yes! It's her. Do you know where she is?"
Emilia pressed for details, having initially given up hope of getting any information from Subaru Natsuki.
Natsuki Subaru scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I don't know her."
Chapter 245 The Gut Hunter
"Don't walk through these deserted alleys anymore, it's dangerous, Parker, let's go."
Emilia decided to continue searching for the thief who had stolen her things, so she took Parker and headed out of the alley.
Bye-bye, see you next time.
Parker waved goodbye to Hao Yun and followed Emilia away.
Subaru turned to look at Hao Yun, wondering what his relationship was with Emilia. They seemed to know each other quite well.
Seeing Emilia walk away, Subaru hurriedly chased after her.
"Wait, I can help you find that thief!"
Emilia frowned as she looked at Subaru, wondering about his motives.
Now is a crucial moment for the royal selection, and Subaru's sudden appearance has raised Emilia's guard.
"You'll help me? Why?"
Subaru struck what he thought was a cool pose and said smugly.
“Do a good deed every day. I’ve seen the girl who stole your things. I can help you find her.”
Emilia glanced at Parker, who nodded, indicating that he hadn't noticed anything wrong.
"Well... okay then."
The kind-hearted Emilia had no choice but to agree to Subaru's request.
As for Hao Yun, he has returned to the fruit stand, waiting for Subaru Raizuki's first rebirth.
Hao Yun was eager to know whether the rules of this world would affect him.
"Hey sir, want to buy some fruit?"
The fruit stall owner enthusiastically promoted his fruit, and Hao Yun smiled and nodded, picking up a few kinds of fruit he had never seen before.
"Thank you for your patronage, eight copper coins."
Hao Yun took out a gold brick, broke off a small piece with his bare hands, and handed it to the fruit stall owner who was almost shocked to the point of dropping his jaw.
"Young man... I'm sorry, sir, you've given me too much money."
Whether it was Hao Yun casually pulling out a gold brick or his ability to break gold bricks with his bare hands, the fruit stall owner dared not offend Hao Yun.
"Consider the extra as a tip."
Hao Yun sat down next to the fruit stand and began to taste the fruits he had never seen before.
After trying it, Hao Yun thought it was pretty good, the taste was great, and he could transplant a few plants back to the main world.
Hao Yun's thinking is very much in line with the logic of a robber: when he travels around the world and encounters something good, he will take it up without hesitation.
After waiting for about two hours, Subaru Natsuki returned to the fruit stand with Emilia.
Everyone met again, and Parker waved and greeted Hao Yun with a smile.
"We meet again!"
The two gave each other a light high five, and Hao Yun casually picked up a piece of fruit from the fruit stand.
"Would you like to try some? It tastes really good."
"Hey, what you're doing is really annoying."
Emilia stared at Hao Yun, seemingly accusing him of taking things without paying.
"It's okay, it's okay. He just paid me a lot of money, so he can take as much fruit as he wants."
The fruit stall owner quickly waved his hand, saying that this was a big customer; the item cost eight copper coins, but he insisted on paying me almost two gold coins.
"Oh well."
Emilia's gaze softened after the fruit stall owner explained.
As for Subaru Natsuki, he had been ignored by everyone, so he jumped out to try and make his presence known.
"Boss, I've brought you a big client!"
The fruit stall owner glanced at Subaru Natsuki, a hint of disdain in his expression.
"So it's you, you penniless wretch. Want to buy some fruit?"
"Of course! This is a big customer."
Subaru suddenly pointed at Emilia, leaving Emilia somewhat bewildered.
"I...I forgot to bring any money when I came out."
Emilia's voice trailed off, and the fruit stand owner chuckled, about to mock the two of them.
He glanced at Hao Yun, but swallowed the words back down.
Is that so?
Subaru's expression stiffened. He had originally thought he could get Emilia to pay for some fruit and then take the opportunity to extract information, but now it seemed that the chance was gone.
"Big brother!"
A little girl with green hair, who looked to be about five or six years old, ran over from a distance.
"Honey, what brings you here!"
The fruit stall owner picked up his daughter and looked at the gentle, mature woman behind him.
"Our daughter wanted to see you, so we came over. She got lost earlier, and thanks to these two, she was safe."
After hearing this, the fruit stall owner thanked Subaru and Raizuki and treated them to a serving of fruit.
"Have you ever seen such a tall, blonde little girl? She stole this lady's things."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Subaru Natsuki tried to extract information. The fruit stand owner pondered for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly.
“I remember there was a girl in the slums, also a thief, similar to what you described, I think her name was Ferut.”
Subaru's eyes lit up. Yes, it must be her.
Subaru Natsuki glanced at Hao Yun and sensed a threat, so he spoke to Emilia.
“Let’s go. The thief you’re looking for should be in the slums.”
"Okay, Parker, we're off."
Emilia nodded to Hao Yun and led Parker toward the slums.
The two people and the cat disappeared into the distance. Hao Yun stroked his chin, wondering whether he should follow them. If he didn't, they would probably all die at the hands of the Gut Hunter.
Ugh! This is so troublesome. If Subaru dies, everything will start over, and I probably won't have the chance to pet the cat anymore.
Forget it, let's go follow them and see.
In the end, Hao Yun still followed along with a haughty air, but he set off quite late, and by the time he arrived at the slum, it was already completely dark.
Upon arriving at the slum, Hao Yun pondered for a moment. According to the plot, the two people who came looking for Felt should have gone to the warehouse for selling stolen goods by now.
The Bowel Hunter makes his appearance there, and it is also the Bowel Hunter who hires Felt to steal Emilia's badge.
