"What's going on?"
"Did I escape?"
In the alleyway, Subaru Natsuki looked around in disbelief, checking if a giant morning star or an azure wind blade would suddenly fly out from somewhere.
"I really escaped?!"
Subaru Natsuki wept with joy. If not for that last sliver of hope in his heart after multiple deaths, Subaru Natsuki felt he would have definitely gone completely insane. But now things were better; after so many deaths, I finally survived!
Subaru Natsuki had never felt that being alive at this moment was such a wonderful thing.
"There's some new prey here!"
A rather raspy voice came from the alleyway. Subaru Natsuki quickly looked over and then breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't those terrifying twin maids; the ones who came were three people who looked like thugs.
Subaru Natsuki had some impression of these three in his heart. In one of his previous deaths, Subaru Natsuki had encountered them. At that time, he was desperately running away, but as luck would have it, he ran into these three when he entered this alley. These three actually tried to rob him. At that time, Subaru Natsuki only thought about escaping and had no mind to deal with them, but how could these three let go of Subaru Natsuki, who was dressed so strangely? In their eyes, Subaru Natsuki, wearing such odd clothes, must be some rich person. So the three of them blocked Subaru Natsuki together. Their fate, naturally, required no second thought; they were turned into a mass of mangled flesh along with Subaru Natsuki under Rem's morning star.
Seeing the Thug Trio coming toward him, Subaru Natsuki quickly scrambled up and shouted toward the sky: "Help! Someone's robbing me!"
In his many deaths, Subaru Natsuki had also discovered that this world was a Touko with knights. Initially, after learning of the existence of knights in several of his deaths, he had thought about using the knights' power to stay alive under the hands of those twin maids. However, every time, either he died by the morning star or wind blades before the knights arrived, or the knights came and died along with him under the morning star and wind blades; it was simply useless. Later, he gave up on that plan, but now it was different. Hearing him call for a knight, these three thugs definitely wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"You bastard!"
One of the thin thugs saw Subaru Natsuki actually calling for help and immediately became anxious. He took out a small knife from his waist and rushed directly toward Subaru Natsuki.
Subaru Natsuki didn't panic. After all, he was someone who had died several times. Although he was still a bit afraid, he didn't panic because of it.
"Stop!"
A red figure suddenly appeared in front of Subaru Natsuki. Subaru Natsuki stared blankly at the red figure that had suddenly appeared. It was a knight he hadn't seen before, different from the knights who had come during his previous several calls for help. Looking at his back, Subaru Natsuki felt as if a great mountain was standing before him, giving him a very solid sense of security.
"I am Reinhard! Put down your weapons!"
Is he called Reinhard? What a cool name.
Subaru Natsuki didn't notice that a faint blush had surfaced on his face at this moment.
And on a high platform not far from the alley, Fujino, Rem, and Ram were all watching this, and Fujino was also holding a small white ball in her hand.
"It has begun smoothly; I didn't expect the effect to be so obvious."
A wicked smile was on Fujino's face, exactly the same as when she had turned Tohsaka Tokiomi into a woman in the Type-Moon World.
"Lady Fujino, you really have bad taste."
Regarding what Fujino was doing to Subaru Natsuki, even Ram and Rem, who disliked him, couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for Subaru Natsuki, though it quickly dissipated, replaced by curiosity about the subsequent development of the story.
