Chapter 4 - First Conflicts In Subaru's Isekai

A afternoon sun shines the Mondstadt city in peacefully and senerely.

But doesn't apply to a young man who lost in another world. Instead of getting what he expected, Natsuki Subaru gets the opposite things.

This note for a young man with his name is Natsuki Subaru, for today is really beautiful but not for him.

Subaru blurted out his mind in feeling full of irony. Why not, he thought he was chosen for a lottery where he was lucky to get change for adventure in another world like old Isekai protagonist who often he watched and enjoyed.

Isekai is many things that Subaru enjoys and craves the one day will come true to him self. It's make he can repeat his life from early again. However, he thinks will took his words back because it's not in accordance with what he expected.

I have transported to another world, it should be fine if I get what the other people got when transported to another world, instead of should work like that.

Subaru reflected back about what's he believe that treatment to someone from outer-world, called to here should be treated a special because this world or the fate itself choses this man as the chosen hero for save the world.

This reality is the world doesn't work like what is written on fiction writing or author's essay who feels life is worthless.

Natsuki Subaru is an example someone who have experienced in the Isekai scenario but it's not accordance with what he expected from early. This is enough for cutting a statement or dogma about Isekai life is enjoyable life.

It would make a NEET cried if they watches itself with what was Subaru done in here.

Back to the topic, current Subaru didn't feel a power of bleesing who powerful to adventure in this world.

The main thing is he was really broke.

Today is really unlucky.

Many things have done make it's have result in Subaru's mind. However, he still thinks critically and optimiscally that this adventure is really give him a medium trouble and at one time he will found a power to help him self from feeling helpless.

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

"let's follow the boss's order, quickly hand it over to us!"

"Or you will feel the consequeces!"

'they intend robbed me…' Subaru thought who maked in very frustratingly.

'I'm really not in the mood for now but… this is Canon Events.'

Subaru already tired when he is always attached with his problem after problem whereas this is the beginning of his journey. However, as a gods is laughing him when look at him is trouble continue to following him.

For now, he gets new problem, it's not Subaru expected will come fastly but…

"This is life…"

They are facing each other for determine intend of each of them. Subaru is facing with them, they start to think something that really bad for him.

"Hey, I know this a little suddenly to say. Instead of should be we not too hostile for now."

"What do you mean, hah?! You think we will obey your, kiddo!" answered by a large, muscular man on the right of them.

"Don't beat around the bush with us, quickly hand it over your valuables that your have!!" Shouted a shorty man on the left. He was shorter compare with Amber's height.

"I know, I know, really. I haven't for now but… please give me a easiness for today. Damn it, today is longest day in my life when first time I was here," Subaru answered while scratch his head. It's showing feel frustration until looks from Subaru's expression face.

"Hah?! You are a newcomers??" asked man in the center, he has slim body but taller than Subaru's tall. This man wondered while pointing to Subaru.

"Of course, I'm new here."

Subaru answered with enjoyable and soft smile make the three thugs feel disturb because the young man for some reason underestimate them or the young man didn't read situation.

The thug was on the center, starts to walk to Subaru. He is immediately holding black t-shirt collar that not yet dry with his two hands.

"You think you can escape from our grip with talking the stupid reason," the man answered in threaning tone while stare at Subaru in annoyed.

"Oi, oi! Calm down, buddy. I'm just try to not make commotion in early my progress is progressing," Subaru replied in soft tone for closing his nerveousness inside.

"I don't understand with what are you saing," the man replied in bitter tone.

If seen closely, Subaru gets look at the man in sufficient detail.

This man has thin stature but taller than Subaru, have messy hair and gray color hair but have several part of purple plum color.

His eyes is gray color, looks sharp and cynical if you pay attention.

This man wears shabby clothes and several parts are torn but still worthy using. His two friends too wear clothes looks typical though have several differents palate each of clothes compared with man who front of Subaru.

The three of them are maybe were around 20 year old, base on facial their face.

Subaru swallowed hard, try to keep calm though cold sweat starts flow on his temple.

He started to back away a little but this man still holds his t-shirt collar. This situation started slightly to heat up make Subaru maked panic moment when he thinks.

'Oh, this bad! What should I do?' Subaru's thinks quikly while look af left and right.

Both of two thugs man started smilled evilly, slightly laugh while ringing their fingers hand, they are showing that the three of man will not hesitate to hit Subaru without mercilessly.

When Subaru maked increasingly intimidated, suddenly he heards sound of a little footstep who heard from Subaru's back.

"Wooosh!"

The three delinquents started to look at the sound source then they became cautious even a little scared until the man on front of Subaru started to let go his grip at t-shirt collar.

Subaru looked back, curious to reason why are they so cautious.

Subaru was speechless with what did he see.

'They very scared because… a little girl??' Subaru thought in disbelief.

A little girl is running toward the four of them in so anthusiac and cheerfully. The little girl's appreance consisted of pale blonde hair with two small curls on the side and have bangs cover the forehead.

Her eyes is red color, it gives expressive impression, seems funny and so sincerely.

This little girl seems like wears clothes all red and white consist of jacket top unite with red and white skirt as small decoration, she wears white shorts and red hat with ornament symbol four leaf clover. The little girl also wears the little and long boots with brown color.

The little girl's appearance seems very striking and cute in Subaru's eyes. However, he also found one of thing that become Subaru's attention is the little girl had pointed ear.

Subaru's eyes openned widen in awe and curiousity.

'Elves, so there are elves here too!' subaru thought in great enthusiasm.

Subaru smiled broadly, he is showing that he has revealed this secret little by little. It's showing that this fantasy world not immediately lived just human but the creatures who have attribute similiar animals or other of unique is typical for genre fantasy story that often he read.

'It means…' Subaru thought in silently to the revelation that was before him and start to brief reflection.

The llittle girl so enthusiasm like she is playing chase game in around city with her friends but Subaru or three thugs didn't see the girl's friends.

The little girl is running through four of them without realized that there was tension situation.

"Hey, wait a minute! Are you a pretty girl who sent me here?" Subaru called with full energic in loud voice.

"Hah?!" replied together by the three thugs in feeling confused to the young man's strange behavior.

The little girl is stopping in there after Subaru called her.

The little girl looked back, her eyes who expression gaze at Subaru in she was clearly confused.

"Send yourself in here? Klee don't understand with what are you mean?!" the little girl answered in innocently and frowned that show her feeling.

The little girl who name is Klee, she tilts her head while index finger is thouching her chin. Klee stare at four of them in great feeling of curiousity.

"Nee, what are you all doing here? Klee was very curious… Klee intends want to search excelent place for bombing several my bombs, hehe!" replied by Klee in very enthusiasm and kiddy.

"Ehh! Seriuosly… are you joking, isn't?!" Subaru asked in nerveously.

Subaru is shacking his head, try to deny that. Maybe the little girl's name is Klee, she just wants to play fireworks with great joyful.

'It can't be that bad, isn't??' Subaru thought, wonder while pay attention to reaction of three of them.

Their reaction is making Subaru stare at them in feeling strange like they imply that the little girl's word is not just a joke.

'What the hell?! Why are you guys wearing expression like that? There just a kids, right?'

Subaru maked increasingly nerveous. For him, the little girl on the front of him looks like a ordinary little girl.

"Hello, hello, why are you guys look so queit?? Is there problem here? Klee was very curious."

Before Subaru gets to answer the little girl asked, one of them laughed in nerveously and interrupt Subaru.

"Oh, we were just playing around, right. We are playing throw-catch games, right my friends?" the little man said, try to looks friendly to dealing threat on front of them.

"What is that?!" Subaru asked, start a little annoyed with strange attitude of three thugs.

His two colleagues follow laugh so nerveously.

Klee looked innocent and trust with what did they said contain lie. "Wow, you guys are playing throw-catch! I'm also like playing that when play together with big brother Albedo and big sister Diona. I want join too but… I must to go now so as I'm will not catch by Master jean because I escaped from solitary confinement again!" she said in joyful but slightly sadly.

"See You! One day, Klee wants join play together with you guys too!" the little girl said before she is running again, leave them in silently.

When the little girl leaved them in silent situation and full of awkwardness.

"Hey, it doesn't make you choose to be less hostile to me, right?" Subaru asked in nerveously.

"Actually a adventurer who often gets bad luck, not deliberate break one dozen Beer in wooden box and it have been worsen our situation."

"Yes, of course. Hehe…" Subaru laughed in nerveously.

Situation in the beginning feels awkward, start to back heat up like before.

"Calm down, Natsuki Subaru."

Subaru prepares himself in fighting position and prepare his brave for fighting.

"Have been the rule for long time, the acient time that someone who sent to another world will show own Supranatural power unexpectedl!"

"Again, you are saying strange again. Hand it over your items who you have. Now, we're not in mood or we are-" the boss man said who interuppted by a directly puching of Subaru to his face suddenly.

"Give me Xp!" Subaru shouted in out loud when he is launching his punch very strong until the thug boss bounced quite far.

"Boss!!" the two colleagues thugs had shouted in panic before they did to revenge. The young man immedeatelly looked back and he is kicking at the short man's face until rolled on cobblestone road.

"This is my first time hitting someone, I can't believed would how painful this is… but this world have controlled so as I'm growing stronger!" Subaru said in full enthusiasm.

"Damn you!! I will destroy you!" the big thug shouted while launching several punch but Subaru can dodge quite deftly.

Subaru keeps to dodge until waiting for right moment, he immedeatelly reachs his right muscular hand and start to twist with two hand with full strenght.

The big thug starts to feel pain until Subaru hit straight away his face until hit him to the ground.

The boss thug had experienced temporary fainting cause shock. He is starting wake up from cobblestone road.

Subaru was a llittle panting and smirk while gaze at his enemy remains.

"My andrenaline is starting surge! I can feel it!"

Subaru is running toward the boss thug while smirk and start to preparing a another powerful blow for defeat the last.

However, the boss thug is showing two of sharp blade on the two hands. It makes Subaru guts shrink, gasped and stopped on middle roads.

A genius of step who did by some of greatest scholars in every history, Natsuki Subaru suprised this man on the front with he immedeately bowed deeply in front of the criminal.

"I'm Sorry! It's all my fault! Please, forgive me! Don't kill me!" Subaru shouted in fearfully and desperate.

The result is Natsuki Subaru kicked in his own face by them. The two colleagues thugs is starting regained consciousness then follow to torture Subaru with revenge.

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

Subaru groaned in pain, things started to get worse when he saw the three of them doing it in anger.

"Play games with us, you're dead! Loser!"

The three thugs kicked and beat the young man until he fell while trying to protect himself.

"Ow, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The groans of pain increased, causing Subaru to fall into despair.

Gradually, uncomfortable feelings including pain, feelings of humiliation begin to be gradually ignored.

The young man's mind subconsciously blurred his five senses to reduce the suffering he experienced.

He is forced to continue to reflect on his life. Job prospects, life and goals in this world.

The more attacks the two thugs launched, the more he doubted one thing.

Am I really a chosen one?

Subaru didn't know the answer even though he would look for it every step he took but now he was starting to be pessimistic about whether he could survive.

Is this the end of my life? Am I destined to die before achieving anything?

He was drifting in the deep ocean, thinking about the worst things in his life. As if fate would not let him be at peace.

Subaru immediately woke up from his reverie and screamed in intense pain. His vision began to clear again, he finally saw what was causing him to feel so much pain.

Electricity…

It was some kind of bright purple electric current that struck his body mercilessly.

"Arghh!!!"

Subaru screamed in pain as his body thrashed violently as he was electrocuted.

"B-Boss, what are you doing?! That's too much Vision for this brat!"

"Yes, that's right, boss! What if this kid… dies?!"

The two fellow delinquents began to feel worried and a little horrified by their friend's excessive actions.

"Don't worry, you two! I won't kill him. But I will teach this brat a lesson, feel this, damn brat!!"

The delinquent boss began to increase the power slightly, causing the electric current to increase and continue to hit Subaru in even more pain.

"Oh this is bad, mate." said the two thugs, feeling horrified and concerned for the teenage boy.

What they didn't realize was that it actually made Subaru's condition worse. This was because Subaru's clothes were still wet but being shocked by electrical energy caused the damage to double.

Despair began to creep into Subaru. His life will soon end, he is still trapped in regret.

So this is how I ended up.

This is the end of my truly terrible story.

Subaru is trapped in a desperate situation, he doesn't know whether he will survive or not. However, an unexpected situation occurred between all of them.

When a torturer was busy torturing the poor boy, suddenly they were jolted into silence when they heard a falling sound or a 'thud' sound behind them.

They immediately looked back in an instant.

They only found a doll half the height of the three delinquents.

A doll that resembles a woman with brown hair and wearing a headband in the shape of rabbit ears.

The doll moves automatically, starts dancing and rotating 180° without the owner of the doll being visible to them.

They were confused and wondered who the owner of this strange doll was.

After 8 seconds, the doll immediately exploded, sending the three delinquents flying backwards due to the blast wave which left fire elements left on the rocky road.

The three delinquents were thrown several meters beyond Subaru's body which was lying on the ground. The three thugs grimaced in pain due to the sudden blast wave and threw off dirt and a small fire ignited on their clothes.

They were made even more emotional due to the many disturbances they experienced. When they saw who the perpetrator was, it made them like this.

They were shocked and frightened.

What was in front of them was someone that all Monstadt residents could recognize, including the three of them.

A Knight of Favonius and a Gliding champion, Amber is a skilled Pyro archer. Amber took a stance then got into a fighting position by pulling the bowstring and activating Pyro Vision in the form of arrows made of burning fire, preparing to attack the three delinquents.

The sight of injustice that Amber saw made Amber's sharp gaze when she looked at them as well as Amber's angry expression made the three delinquents alert and somewhat afraid.

"I warn the three of you to leave this place or I will arrest you all if you persist in resisting!"

The three thugs still had a little sense not to do something stupid like fighting one of the Knights of Favonius. Otherwise, it makes their situation even more complicated.

"Okay, okay! We surrender! We surrender!"

"Then go!!"

The three thugs immediately ran away, leaving Subaru and Amber behind. Subaru and Amber looked at each other showing different emotions in each of them. Each of them may immediately show a unique interaction between the two of them.
