Chapter 3 - First day in Mondstadt City part 2

After interaction with the little girl's name is Flora, Subaru walks to random while holding a beautiful flower that color is light blue.

He swayed slightly until he release some kind of powder.

Right now, Subaru gets himself in crowded situation from activities of people Mondstadt in The Mondstadt Market District.

Without he cares around, Subaru observations carefully to the flower but he was a little forget with the flower's name that be informed by Flora.

"Eto… if I'm not mistaken this flower's name is… Ah! I remember, Small Lamp Grass. Yes, that must be it name."

He doesn't have knowledge about collection of Flower type. His knowlegde felt slightly even nothing.

He just knows various flower type that often by most of people used as Symbolic of love and romantic.

He thought it, this flower must be not much different, they have same philosophic about it. Therefore Subaru secured the flower in the plastic bag.

His motive is for walk on his adventure as smootly as possible but intead he stumbled with his problem.

Therefore he bought a flower as compensation for mess he made.

An unwritten rule for people like him to carry on good intention or good relationship to each person.

This is initial steps to Subaru for don't mess up like he done in home world.

'I didn't believe that walk on is not easy like I was expected,' Subaru thinks while a little smile.

And the little girl has become his first friend in this world athought just acquaintances.

'I hope it can be easy like what I have done with Flora-chan.'

After talk with Flora, Subaru was given a confirmation about currency that he has brought is useless.

Their currency that they used is Mora.

A gold coin with symbol like three circles connected to each other.

Flower that Subaru got it is free.

That matter because Subaru is broke, not have Mora at all. Even Subaru considered as a homeless by Flora. A homeless who has been robbed and lost his mem9ory make Flora felt pity for Subaru.

"In my result is I got her mercy for me… from Flora-chan. Arghh! It's very shame!" Subaru said with feel desperate.

"Hahh… I must to looking for a job."

Subaru took a deep breath, feel desperate to his condition felt stuck. If he doesn't get any Mora that he'll starve to death or freeze to death without residence.

Subaru intends to become a Adventurer because it's his initial goal when he was here. For someone have read lots of Isekai stories, Work as Adventurer is very typical in the plots stories.

For Subaru, this is sensible choice if he wants survive.

Indirectly, he somewhat admitted that he feels like homeless literally.

Many things have become attention for Subaru.

First, He needs to many information about Social life of people's Mondstadt because Adventure's Guild must be require some requirements like someone wants to propose as civil servants.

Second, Archon. In the Mondstadt have a Archon anemo as God of protection Mondstadt city.

The Mondstadt city is capital city Mondstadt region that on the big island where surrounded by Cider Lake. This city arraged by group of Knight Favonius who protect peacefulness in the Mondstadt.

Subaru concluded that every countries have own archon. It seems like mascot in each country where have their ideology that differents.

Even more the seven Archons who represent every elements consist of Pyro, Anemo, Geo, Dendro, Electro, Hydro and Cryo.

'It means Anemo wind element. According to Flora-chan, the residents worship the god Barbatos as Archon anemo because long history to liberate them of slavery or oppression in the past. Wait a minute…' Subaru thinks while remembered something.

He crossed his arm while walk. He feels confuse to why one of devil's name 'The Lesser key of solomon' could became a god in this world.

'Is it just coincidence?'

Subaru scratches his head with confused who seen from his face.

Besides that, he was lack of information, Subaru too must focus to what is it must become a priority for survive.

'Damn it! I'm really broke. What should I do?' Subaru thinks with feeling desperate.

Subaru touched his chin with his right hand and thinking about how to earn a lot of Mora without spending long time.

Subaru thinks many optional jobs that could earn a lot of Mora. Many of works, there is job that is a dream for A NEET like himself is become a Adventurer.

By the way about become a Adventurer, Subaru had time to aks Flora about presence of Adventure's Guild.

"Lucky me, Flora-chan told me about it, this is make me increasingly not very become complicated to do," Subaru said with netral tone.

'Maybe I should sees to requrements first.'

Subaru walks to there.

The sound of horse hooves heard very louds. It's make everyone panics attack and try to dogde from the horse running track.

"What the-?" Subaru asked but his word interrupted when end of the rope that dragged suddenly wrapped around one of Subaru's legs accidentally when the horse speeding through their both with faster.

"Eh?! H-Hey, Wait!! Aw, aw, aw!!"

Subaru jerked forward and dragged by the wild horse before doing something.

"AHHHHH!!!" Subaru shouted in panic.

His body dragged in coblestone road when that horse running without control. Subaru's brisket feels pain cause friction with coblestone road. Subaru's legs pulled by rope that twisted with very tight, he dragged at high speed through each store.

Some people surrounding just could shock and panic when gaze at a young man dragged by horse, his hair and his clothes wild friction in ground.

Plunggg!

The fountain immediately splashed in all directions and Subaru's clothes were now wet.

------------------------

Subaru walked slowly feeling very tired physically and mentally.

The incident just now had affected Subaru deeply. He thought that the beginning of the Isekai story would go very well and orderly.

However, he was faced with a reality that kept reminding him how insignificant he was in life wherever he was.

Subaru snorted softly and grimaced softly because of how absurd his life in this world was even though he had just started.

The difference in life between the world of origin and the world today is non-existent.

Everything is the same, only failure continues to await him.

His right hand was holding a shopping bag which fortunately was still safe and had not fallen into the water with him.

He saw steps in a city alley.

"Ahh… I need a break…" muttered Subaru and continued walking until he sat on the steps in an alley.

Subaru found this all very ridiculous and opened his jacket with a heart full of bitterness. He was breathing evenly, taking a break from all the silliness he was experiencing.

Hunger continued to torment his stomach, pain from that damn horse and embarrassment from acting stupid in front of the beautiful girl.

Subaru put his jacket aside and took a deep breath, Subaru expressed the frustration he had been holding in all this time.

"This is how it should be? Wasn't I summoned to another world?! Where did my protagonist status go?!"

He took his cell phone and was grateful that it still worked. Father's and mother's telephone numbers are displayed, only father and mother's contact numbers on Subaru's outdated looking flip phone.

"It looks like it's still working. But what's the point of keeping it!"

"My starting equipment sucks too! I need more than this because I haven't practiced anything yet. Where is my Excalibur or any other powerful Weapon?!"

"And where is the beautiful girl who called me? Did he call me here only to abandon me here?! That's so cruel!"

The moment after Subaru said that, Subaru looked up and saw someone walking this way from behind Subaru.

"Hey, did he finally answer my call earlier and is now here? The beautiful girl who called me…"

Subaru stopped talking when the scene showed three ragged-looking adult men grinning at him. Subaru's hopes began to fade, followed by a feeling of deep disappointment.

"What are you talking about?"

"If you don't want to get hurt, take out whatever you have!"

'They intend to rob me,' Subaru thought, feeling increasingly frustrated. Subaru stood opposite the three thugs with a wary gaze.

Natsuki Subaru's first day in the city of Mondstadt was full of problems and bad luck. However, it's too early to give up.

Even though many misfortunes have befallen the young man's life, Natsuki Subaru will not give up even though the world doesn't like him.
