"Liliana, huh..."
Thinking about it carefully, he was like an unregistered person in this world.
Although he successfully slayed a God, he was penniless.
Liliana, on the other hand, was a prodigy of one of Italy's largest Magic Societies. If he could latch onto this big leg... no, he corrected himself, it should be the other way around, she should latch onto his thick leg.
Without overthinking, Bai Chen put away his Fantasy Greatsword and, activating his spiritual power, flew towards the stadium.
The versatility of spirit crystal was extremely wide; flying was already a basic skill.
So, after not long, Bai Chen flew to the vicinity of the stadium, which was several streets away, and landed right in front of the two girls who were supporting each other.
"Eh? Are they lolis?"
Bai Chen showed a surprised expression as he clearly saw the faces and heights of the two girls.
However, it was currently four years before the original story began, so they should only be around twelve years old this year.
They were lolis who still had two years before their 'shelf life' expired.
Looking at the trembling girls huddling together, Bai Chen asked with a smile, "Liliana Kranjcar, and Mariya Yuri, right?"
"..."
"..."
The two girls did not answer, only looking at Bai Chen with fear, their small bodies trembling continuously.
"...Not speaking?"
Bai Chen frowned.
Looking at the small girls whose delicate bodies trembled like sieves and whose faces were pale, he helplessly scratched his head and quickly understood the reason.
They had been forcibly conscripted by Marquis Woban from their homes and compelled to participate in the ritual to summon a Heretic God.
Although he didn't understand the summoning ritual, he knew that a Heretic God was not so easily summoned.
The witches Woban had gathered were almost the most outstanding ones in the entire world.
But even so, the magic power consumed to summon a God was still enormous.
Even if Bai Chen hadn't seen it, he could infer the tragic state of the ritual site from their eyes.
Presumably, those witches who hadn't come out had all died due to exhaustion of magic power.
The original work also mentioned that they were the only two survivors four years ago.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not Woban. Strictly speaking, that old man has already taken a dislike to me."
Given Woban's nature of wiping out an entire family just for being disrespected, it was likely he had thoroughly marked Bai Chen, who had played a trick on him, in his mental notebook.
But Bai Chen couldn't help it.
To survive, offending him was simply a necessity.
If given another chance, he would do it again.
After speaking, Bai Chen bowed slightly and showed a faint smile to the girls whose faces were filled with fear.
Although Bai Chen was far from being a pure person, as a transmigrator who had just crossed over from modern times, the aura about him was infinitely gentler than that of a God Slayer, who was called a Demon King.
Furthermore, Liliana and Mariya were twelve-year-old lolis, and having experienced great terror, they naturally felt extremely close to a normal person.
"Relax, I won't hurt you."
Bai Chen said.
It's a pity he didn't have lollipops, otherwise, it would be easier to coax children.
"Mar... Marquis-sama?"
Liliana whispered.
"Yes, he told us to come over."
"He's busy right now, he doesn't have time to bother with us."
Bai Chen smiled.
"Do you want to go home? I can take you back."
"Really?"
Mariya Yuri, who was beside her, showed a look of hope, her eyes almost overflowing with it.
"I wouldn't lie to children for fun."
Bai Chen smiled and reached out to stroke Mariya Yuri's small head.
The latter recoiled at first, but soon began to enjoy the warmth radiating from Bai Chen's palm.
Her delicate nose twitched slightly, and she soon began to sob softly.
"No, no, we can't go with you."
Although Liliana also wanted to go home very much, she was, after all, a prodigy of the Bronze Black Cross.
Her social skills were far superior to those of her peers.
"If we leave without permission, Marquis Woban will surely blame us."
"He won't, he probably doesn't even remember who you are right now."
Bai Chen flatly denied.
In Woban's eyes, there were only two types of things in the world: "valuable" and "worthless."
Witches before summoning a Heretic God were "valuable"; witches after summoning a Heretic God were worthless.
Besides, Bai Chen could guess that Woban was now solely focused on killing him and Tony, so it would be a miracle if he still remembered them.
"And even if Woban comes looking for trouble in the future, I will take full responsibility."
Bai Chen said.
He didn't know how long he would stay in this world, but at least he had to be prepared for a long-term battle.
Therefore, he also had to find himself a comfortable base.
Although his identity as a God Slayer made him highly sought after wherever he went, rather than those obscure small societies, it was better to find a familiar one nearby.
And looking at the pitiful white-haired loli in front of him, Bai Chen resolutely decided that to prevent the loli from being harmed by bad guys again, he would reluctantly protect her.
As for Woban's threat, with his golden finger, why would he fear a mere native in the future?
