Satou Kazuma had already figured out what to do.
He might be able to use his Steal skill to deal with these guys!
'Looks like only the guy in the middle is carrying a weapon. If I just take his weapon, maybe I can turn things around!'
Satou Kazuma said to himself, a confident smile on his face.
Steal!
The next moment, a money bag appeared in front of Satou Kazuma.
Satou Kazuma's face was full of dark lines.
Before, the chance of stealing money was very low. He struggled all afternoon just to get enough money for one meal.
Now, when he's in danger, he can actually steal something?
Thanks, Steal skill!
The thug's eyes were fixed on the money bag in his hand.
Why does it look... familiar?
He reached out and quickly felt his pocket, only to find it empty.
"You little thief, you stole from me and you're showing it off to provoke me?"
"Hahaha, there must be a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Right, right, I just found this on the side of the road. I wonder if you believe me..."
But before Satou Kazuma could finish speaking, the thug's fist landed on him.
.....
A few minutes later, Satou Kazuma, with a bruised and swollen face, was thrown out of the alley again.
Aqua, who had selectively disappeared for a few minutes, appeared right on time.
"Oh my! How did you get so hurt!"
Aqua acted like she didn't know anything and said to Satou Kazuma.
"￥...￥%￥￥＃% (You bastard, you just ran away, didn't you?)"
Satou Kazuma's voice was muffled again because of his swollen cheeks.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Aqua looked away and fiddled with her fingers.
But she still walked up to Satou Kazuma, wanting to use healing magic again, but it still had little effect.
"Damn it, does this mean there aren't enough believers in this world!"
"%...￥...*%... (What's going on?)"
"To compare, each world is like a planet in the universe. In different worlds, there should be believers for me... but for some reason, there are no believers for me in this world, and this world is different from the worlds I've seen before. Those guys upstairs must be lazy and made a mistake."
Aqua said, tapping her chin with her finger, then looking up at the sky,
"But it's strange, it was night before, how did it suddenly become daytime? Does this world have very short days and nights?"
"＆%￥…% (Didn't you notice that the three thugs showed up again? Our time has been reset!)"
Satou Kazuma was speechless. Aqua didn't even notice something so obvious.
"I see, so that's what it is!"
Aqua suddenly understood, her eyes wide with surprise—but the next moment, she seemed to realize something,
"Then, then all the money we worked so hard to earn is gone!"
As Satou Kazuma nodded, Aqua collapsed to the ground as if her soul had been drained.
"I... I didn't even get to eat a chicken leg!"
"%＆% (Even now, is that what you're worried about?)"
Satou Kazuma sighed helplessly, enduring the pain.
His mind was constantly thinking about the current situation.
What is this time loop, and what triggers it?
And.....
If the guy next to me keeps being so useless, then it's going to be bad.
If I could get Aqua a few believers, maybe she could be a little useful?
Just as Satou Kazuma was wondering, some quick footsteps sounded from the side.
Then, a boy about the same age as Satou Kazuma walked past them.
When Satou Kazuma saw him, his eyes, squeezed by his swollen face, showed incredible surprise.
The other person was wearing a tracksuit that was similar to his!
That's not something from this world.
This made Satou Kazuma realize that the person in front of him might also be someone who traveled to another world, so he quickly called out to him!
"＃￥＃% (Hey, hey, young man, please wait a moment!)"
Satou Kazuma shouted loudly at the other person with his swollen lips.
The boy didn't pay attention to Satou Kazuma's voice at first, thinking he wasn't talking to him, until Satou Kazuma's voice gradually became a near desperate shout, he realized he was being called.
"Sorry, are you, are you talking to me?"
The boy walked up to Satou Kazuma, looking confused.
"＃...￥＃ (Who else could I be talking to besides you?)"
"Um... I don't really understand your race's language."
The boy scratched the back of his head, a slightly awkward expression on his face.
Satou Kazuma was stunned when he heard what the other person said.
What do you mean 'your race'?
What do you mean 'I don't understand your language'?
Is this guy treating me like a demi-human race?
Satou Kazuma looked blankly at Aqua next to him, who nodded seriously:
"That's right, Kazuma, you don't look like a normal human as people would recognize it right now."
The boy had been staring at Satou Kazuma, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He noticed that Satou Kazuma was wearing a tracksuit that didn't belong to this world.
"Wait? You, you, could it be that you're also someone who traveled to another world! My name is Natsuki Subaru, nice to meet you!"
The boy who called himself Natsuki Subaru immediately introduced himself with a smile.
In another world, there's nothing more exciting than meeting someone from your home country.
"Huh? You're also someone who traveled to another world?"
Only then did Aqua realize why Satou Kazuma was so excited, and she quickly asked,
"Which goddess sent you here? Was it Eris?"
"Goddess? Eris? What's that?"
Natsuki Subaru looked blankly at Aqua and Satou Kazuma.
"Then, then how did you come to this world?"
"I just came out of the convenience store and suddenly came to this place."
"Didn't you see a goddess?"
"No, I didn't."
"Then how did you die? Did you travel to this world without dying?"
