Chapter 17 - 017 : the change in story

Arthur who is overlooking entire city in a high place wipe a sweat on his head

"What a scary woman... no wonder a combined power from hero, dragon and sage came destroy her body so sealing her is the only choice with this ability alone she is unbeatable already "

Arthur now realizes why the witch of envy is known as the worst of calamity

"But look like if i didn't bother with her amusement she will not bother me? I hope it's like that, yeah. If i encounter her with just my current ability then it's better if I didn't come to this world in the first place. Now i didn't need to interfere in anything the the gear of fate is starting to spin and that emotional brat is already think her as his only connection to this world"

Arthur see Subaru fighting the thugs and come out win

"Well so he need to die three times before he met with Reinhard, i hope there is not to many difference because Rem tag along now different with when Emilia alone because Ram didn't go with her"

This time Arthur choose to following Subaru but he is also make sure to keep his distance because he doesn't want to find out by Elsa, Arthur still feel very bad and think he is no different with the killer itself because previously he let Rem die and now he also will let felt killed by Elsa

What happened next is look like how it's happened in the anime, old man Rom is killed with ease follow by Felt and the last is Subaru.

And Arthur once again is on top of a building

"It's look like Subaru is thinking the badge is Rem's, well maybe Rem didn't want the fact Emilia badge get stolen is known to the public, huh? The fate will change slightly"

In the alley Subaru meet with Reinhard in his third time died

"Maybe that's because the situation where he call Emilia as Satella is didn't happen?"

"You have saved my life, and I, Natsuki Subaru, am forever grateful. I must say that I am impressed with both your honorable intentions and bravery…"

"You're giving me too much credit. It was because their advantage of three against one fell to three against two that they became unsure of themselves. It would have been different if it was only me against them."

"No… Given how scared they were of you, even if it were ten against one…or even a hundred against one, I still think they would have run away. But what's with your gallantry stats?! You're like a saint both in body and mind. You're so brilliant I think I'm going to go blind!"

To be honest, there was such a difference in their looks, Subaru really didn't want to be standing next to him. Subaru examined Reinhard again, but the more he looked at him the more he thought that this beautiful young man had to have been chosen by God.

However, he did not look like he was a guard.

"Umm…I can just call you by your name, Mister, uh…Reinhard…right?"

"I don't need the 'Mister.' You don't have to be so formal, Subaru."

"Well, we're pretty close all of sudden, huh? Anyway, thanks again, Reinhard. You're the only one who came running when I called. I have to say, it makes me feel a bit lonely that no one else seemed to care."

Given how many people were out walking on the main street, it wasn't possible that Reinhard was the only person who heard Subaru call out. But as Subaru complained, Reinhard lowered his eyes slightly.

"I don't really want to say this, but I think I can understand them. For the majority of people, the risk of interfering when thugs like those are involved is too great. You were right to call for guards."

"The way you're saying that…are you a guard, Reinhard? You don't look like one at all."

"I get that a lot. I am off duty today so I'm not wearing my uniform, and even I know that the way I look, I'm lacking the sternness of an authority figure," Reinhard said, spreading both his arms, but Subaru thought differently.

The biggest reason that Reinhard didn't look like a guard was that he appeared to be far from the lowly, rough sort of idea Subaru had of what a guard should look like.

"Now that I think of it, didn't they call you something like 'sword saint '…?"

"My family's position is rather special, you see. So I've got a lot of heavy expectations placed on me. Every day's a battle." Reinhard smiled, shrugging

his shoulders. Apparently Reinhard had a sense of humor as well.

"By the way, I thought that your hair and clothes, and also your name are pretty unusual, but… Where are you from? Why did you come to the capital of Lugunica?" Reinhard asked, looking down at Subaru and his appearance.

Given that Subaru's background was unclear, it seemed to be a pretty natural response for someone who was a guard.

"It's a little hard to answer that first question. Last time when I said, 'a small country to the east,' it didn't work, so let me rephrase that. I've come from a place even farther east than here, a place no one has ever seen before—from the ends of the Earth," finished Subaru with a glint in his smile. Subaru thought that it was a pretty safe answer, but Reinhard looked surprised.

"Farther east than Lugunica …? You can't mean beyond the Grand Cascade. Is that supposed to be a joke?"

"Grand Cascade?" Subaru tilted his head with the unfamiliar term.

Cascade…like, a waterfall? Subaru, who wasn't familiar with the geography of the surrounding area, had no idea what Reinhard was talking about. The only places Subaru really knew in this world were the main street, alleys, the slums, and the loot cellar.

"It doesn't seem like you're trying to fool me or anything, but… Well, that's fine. Anyway, it looks certain that you're not from the capital, but you

have a reason for being here, right? Right now, Lugunica is not as peaceful as it usually is. It's falling into a state of unrest. Whatever you're here for, I'd be glad to help."

"Come on, it's your day off, right? There's no need for you to waste a day off just to help me out, you've really done more than enough already. …But, I would like to ask you a question, if I could."

Subaru shook his head in response to Reinhard's offer, but then he raised up a finger as if he suddenly remembered something.

"I'm all ears. I'm not a very informed individual, so I'm not sure I can help all that much, though."

"Well, it's less of a question and more me asking about a person, so no worries. So anyway, have you seen a cute girl that has medium length sky blue hair that covers her right eye, large light blue eyes, and young features. She also has hair clips towards left side of her hair, flower-shaped ribbon on the same side of her hair, and a maid hairband. Also if i not wrong her name is Rem and she is a maid that work for... Roswaal... L something... what's her lord name... do you see her"

"…What do you plan on doing when you find her?"

"Something she lost…er…I guess something she's looking for? Anyway, I want to give what she's looking for back to her."

Of course, Subaru didn't have it on him right now, and it was even possible that she hadn't had it stolen from her yet, but there was no need to complicate things.

Reinhard narrowed his eyes at Subaru's response, and then silently thought for a few moments before answering.

"Unfortunately, I can't say I've seen anyone like that. If you'd like, though, I don't mind helping you find her."

"I can't ask that much of you. It's all right, I'll figure things out on my own." Subaru lifted up his hand to refuse Reinhard's request, and then turned to exit the alley and walk along the main street.

If possible, it might be better to catch Felt and keep her from stealing the badge in the first place. Considering what would happen otherwise, Subaru thought that might be the best approach to take.

"The problem is, considering how fast Felt is, whether I could really catch her or not. In the worst case, I could get some guards to come to the loot cellar, but…"

"Loot cellar?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. Forget I said anything. It's just the name of a place an old man I know likes to hang out."

As Reinhard reacted to his statement Subaru tried to divert his attention and at the same time rejected the idea of getting guards involved. Even if Subaru brought guards with him, with Elsa as an opponent there was a good chance

that it would only result in more casualties. That's just how superhuman that ȧssassin's skills were in Subaru eyes.

"Well, if all of the guards here were superhuman as well, it might be a different story… Anyway, I guess I should head back to the main street."

"Are you going?"

"Yeah, I am. Thanks again, Reinhard. I'll have to return the favor one day.…Can I meet you again if I go to a guard station or something?"

"I think so. If you just give my name, they'll know where to find me. I'd love to see you again, so stop by for any reason at all."

"Have I really done anything, or said anything to raise our relationship score that much? …Anyway, if I ever get stuck or lost again I'll be sure to stop by," said Subaru jokingly, waving his hand good-bye.

"Be careful," said Reinhard, as cool and gallant as ever.

Pushed on by those words, Subaru was able to exit the alley with absolutely zero damage, all the while not noticing just how much the young man with the blue eyes was sizing him up as he watched him leave.

'today there will be a boy well maybe his age is around 17 years old and he has short black hair and brown eyes. As for his clothes... you can remember it the moment you look at him because he has unusual outfit and unusual name. Maybe he will scream for guard in some alley so if you heard it or meet with him please leand your hand'

'well with your ability you can pick something from how he will speaks but the most important thing i want to tell you is... he will guide you to the place where you can find the last candidates for the election, ofcourse this boy doesn't know it so you will be disappointed if you ask him'

"Look like i need to make a trip to the loot cellar, the last candidates... well from the way Subaru talk and expression look like something bad will be happening in loot cellar"
