Satou Kazuma already had a plan.
Maybe I can use the 'Steal' skill to deal with these guys!
'Looks like only the middle one has a weapon. If I steal his weapon, I might be able to turn this around!'
Satou Kazuma thought to himself, a confident smile on his face.
Steal!
In the next instant, a money bag appeared in Satou Kazuma's hand.
"..."
Kazuma's face was full of black lines.
Before, the probability of stealing money had been incredibly low. It took him all afternoon to scrape together just enough for one meal.
Now, at a critical moment like this, he manages to steal it directly?
Thanks a lot, 'Steal' skill!
The thug in front of him also stared intently at the money bag in his hand.
Why does that look... so familiar?
He reached into his pocket and found it empty.
"You... you stole from me, and then you pull it out to taunt me!?"
"Hahaha, this must be a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Right, I just found this on the side of the road, would you believe me..."
Before Satou Kazuma could finish, the thug's fist had already landed on him.
...
A few minutes later, a black-and-blue Satou Kazuma was once again thrown out of the alley.
Aqua, who had selectively disappeared for those few minutes, conveniently reappeared at this exact moment.
"Oh my! How did you get so injured!?"
Aqua said, pretending she knew nothing.
"￥...￥%￥￥#% (You bastard, you just ran away, didn't you?)"
Kazuma's voice was once again muffled by his swollen face.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Aqua averted her gaze, whistling and poking her fingers together.
However, she still walked over to Kazuma, trying to cast her healing magic again, but the effect was still minimal.
"Damn it! Is it because I don't have enough believers in this world?"
"%...￥...*%... (What the hell is going on?)"
"To make a comparison, each world is like a planet in the universe. In different worlds, there should be believers of mine... But for some reason, there are no believers in this world at all. And this world is different from any I've seen before. It must be those lazy bums upstairs messing up."
Aqua said, tapping her chin, then looked up at the sky.
"But this is weird. It was night just a little while ago. Why is it daytime all of a sudden? Is the day-night cycle in this world really short?"
"&%￥...% (Did you seriously not notice that the three thugs showed up again? Our time was reset!)"
Kazuma was speechless. How could Aqua not have noticed something so obvious?
"I see! So that's what's happening!"
Aqua had a revelation, her eyes wide with surprise—but in the next instant, she seemed to realize something.
"Then... then all the money we worked so hard to earn... it's all gone!?"
As Satou Kazuma nodded, Aqua collapsed to the ground, as if her soul had been sucked out.
"I... I didn't even get to eat my chicken leg!"
"%&% (At a time like this, that's what you're worried about?)"
Kazuma endured the pain and sighed helplessly.
His mind was racing, trying to understand the situation.
What is this time rewind? What triggers it?
And...
If this person next to me continues to be this useless, we're screwed.
If I could just get Aqua a few believers, maybe she'd be slightly more useful?
Just as Kazuma was wondering, the sound of hurried footsteps approached.
A moment later, a young man about Kazuma's age walked past them.
The instant Kazuma saw him, his eyes, nearly swollen shut, widened in shock.
The young man was wearing... a tracksuit, just like his!
That was not something from this world.
Kazuma realized that this person was very likely a transmigrator too. He immediately tried to call out to him.
"#￥#% (Hey, hey, mister, please wait!)"
Kazuma shouted at him with his swollen lips.
The young man initially ignored Kazuma's voice, assuming he wasn't being spoken to. It wasn't until Kazuma's voice escalated to a heart-wrenching shriek that he realized he was the one being called.
"Sorry, are you... talking to me?"
The young man walked over, a confused look on his face.
"#...￥# (Who else would I be talking to?)"
"Uh... I don't really understand your species' language."
The young man scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.
Hearing this, Kazuma froze.
What does he mean, 'your species'?
What does he mean, 'don't understand your language'?
This guy... does he think I'm a demi-human?
Kazuma looked at Aqua, dumbfounded. Aqua nodded with a serious expression.
"It's true, Kazuma. You don't really look like what normal people would call 'human' right now."
The young man kept staring at Kazuma, and his expression suddenly turned to one of shock. He had noticed the tracksuit Kazuma was wearing, which didn't belong in this world.
"Wait! You... you... could it be, you're a transmigrator too? My name is Natsuki Subaru! Nice to meet you!"
The young man, Natsuki Subaru, immediately introduced himself with a smile.
In another world, there was nothing more exciting than meeting someone from your home.
"Huh? You're a transmigrator too?"
Aqua finally understood why Kazuma was so agitated and quickly asked, "Which goddess sent you? Was it Eris?"
"Goddess? Eris? What's that?"
Subaru looked at Aqua and Kazuma, completely bewildered.
"Then... how did you get to this world?"
"I just came out of a convenience store, and then I was suddenly here."
"You didn't meet a goddess or anything?"
"No... I didn't."
"Then how did you die? Wait, did you get transported here without dying?"
