The men gazed at him with scorn and contempt and some cautious as Subaru calmly appraised them. They appeared to be in their mid-twenties. Their clothes were filthy and it was as though their inner evil and I'll intensions had manifested on their faces. They weren't animal-People that's for sure, but they couldn't be called decent humans either. 'They look so disgusting ... well again as expected from a medieval world '. Subaru thought.
[I think we both know were this going right s-u-b-a-r-u~?.]
"hehehe, well some one is gonna die today that's for sure ." Subaru replayed with a laugh.
Facing the grinning men, Subaru Dust off his clothes and stood up with a calm smile and a nonchalant attitude. They were clearly a bandits, and considering the state of this city or town or whatever the fuck it is, and they might even have weapons or maybe they could use magic and they could kill him if he is not careful. 'like that would ever stop me '. Subaru thought.
[ I know S-u-b-a-r-u~ you can't die for real, but please be careful...and I wish you all the luck ].
Nats said with a touch of worry in her voice
"Don't worry Nats, you know I've had worse، plus I don't need luck, all I need is you with me".Subaru replied with a confident voice, as if nothing could stand in the way of his victory.
Subaru Patted his chest where his machete resides. He had to get serious, hesitation could cost him making Nats sad, also he had confidence in his fighting capabilities, plus he is armed and ready.
"Furthermore, this mobs cant do shit considering their attire and the fact they targeted a loner in a dime place like this. A coward strategy that's for sure, but today their luck runs out since they stumble on me heheheheh !"
"He's murmuring something."
"Maybe he doesn't get what's going on. Should we teach him?"
"He is even ...laughing? What a creepy bastard".
Unlike Subaru, the men was creeped out by his unusual attitude considering that the boy wascornored and outnumbered, and instead of panicking Subaru continued to face them without fear still with that same smile and his unflinching Blackish-red eyes .
"Sorry that I wasn't responding to you guys That was very rude of me... It's not easy to apologize, I hope you see my apology comes from the heart.".said Subaru with a calm firm voice flashing them a smile.
The bandits stood their confused looking at each other as if wondering 'is this guy okay in the head '. And before they could respond Subaru beat them to it.
"Now Here's the deal guy's . I will offer you a chance..to go back to the hole or whatever the fuck you came from." said Subaru inserting his right hand inside his jacket holding the hand of his machete He is still smiling, but his eyes are not. "BUT!! if you don't, and iam sure you won't, than simply I'm going to cut you to pieces, and then I'm going to decorate the roots of this gloomy place with your peasant blood and your guts, After I'm done, I'm going to take your filthy remains and throw them down the drain with the rest of the excrement of the others.. NOW! Guys, Isn't this the best deal you can ever get?".said Subaru trembling with excitement Like a kid in his favorite toy store.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Silence, deathly silence. Now those who had sensed that the boy was not sane, their suspicion confirmed, but despite that clear warning, the bandits have numbers wish give them the confident that they have the advantage over a lonely crazy boy, and the confident They willnever lose so their going to Beat the the shit out of him without any mercy, when Done They'll take all he's belongings Then they'll go about their day,
"You are a psychopath, so we will do you and the world a favor, we will take your things, and we will end your suffering how about that?"
"Yes, we have no idea what's wrong with you, but you're going to die for mocking us."
Subaru sighed as if he had given up on convincing the three of them to NOT attack him and take his things.
Subaru got into an attacking stance, removing his hand from the machete inside his jacket 'I won't use it now I don't want to stain it with blood'. Subaru thought.
"Hey, you Three idiots let's just finish this, because honestly, I'm sick of this disgusting place," Subaru said with all seriousness, his previous smile completely gone.
"What ar...!!!"
With that declaration, He quickly pulled out his knife from his sock without wasting any time Subaru quickly charged in, attacking first with his knife in his hand before they could react. He flew into one of them with his knife. Subaru stabbed him in one of his eyes. The bandits leader was shocked, as is the case with his friends. But Subaru took advantage of that opportunity as he pulled the knife from the bandits leader, leaving drops of flying blood. And again, he stabbed the other eye this time more deeply, as he punched the knife until it reached the bandits leader brain. With a final scream, he fell dead on the ground, bleeding Fountains from both eyes.
'such a mess'. Subaru thought, While looking at his hands full of blood.
[ Indeed, now S-u-b-a-r-u~ retrieve the knife and finish the other two. ]
Nats said in a sharp tone at the end of her sentence to Subaru who just nodded his head with a serious bloodied expression on his face.
The remaining two are still shocked to see their friend killed in such a brutal way, but Subaru won't give them time to grieve as he sticks his hand into one of the bandits leader eye sockets to retrieve his knife, causing a mess of blood on the floor and also disfiguring the dead Bandits leader face in the process.
"RACHINS!!!!.."
Finally, one of the bandits cried out with great sadness and shock the name of Rachins who had just died while his feet were trembling as he looked at the state of his dead friend under Subaru's feet with tears in his eyes.
While Subaru completely ignores the crying mess instead he stares in the direction of the largest of the three with analytical eyes.
" Hey Fat guy, in case you haven't noticed or maybe you haven't figured it out yet...than i will just go ahead and say it."
Subaru stopped talking, looking at the fat bandit, making sure he got his full attention. 'Good. He seems angry, but at least he's listening.' Subaru thought as he manipulated his bloody knife between his fingers, smiling as if satisfied.
" I actually just killed your friend here, so I'm just wondering what you're going to do?... Are you going to just watch while I skin your other crying friend alive?,... or maybe you're going to do something about it."
The fat bandit on the other side when he heard what Subaru said, his eyes widened in shock but he soon recovered from his shock, grinding his teeth in anger as he looked at Subaru.
" Oh~ Please stop looking at me like that~, you're making me blush~".
Subaru said hugging himself comically like a shy little girl mocking the fat bandit who of course didn't like that.
"YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!, I WILL CRUSH YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO RACHINS!!!"
While saying that, the fat Bandit lunged with all his might with a wooden club in his hand towards Subaru with the intent of crushing him.
'Now that's better,' Subaru thought as he easily dodged a blow that was coming directly over his head.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER, COME HERE!!"
The fat bandit said as he tried again to hit Subaru from the side but Subaru ducked quickly letting the club pass over his head without touching him.
"Okay okay no need to shout"
In the midst of saying that, Subaru, still in his low dog-like pose, lunged toward the fat bandit special area with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Guhhhhhhhhhhh!"
With a quick and precise blow, Subaru stabbed the location of the fat bandits testicles, which caused abundant of blood to come out of the wound, but it seemed that Subaru had not finished yet, as he pushed the knife further inside while rotating it to make the wound more expanded, and all this happened in a matter of a few seconds.

"SHIT So much blood and my clothes are completely messed up I look exactly like a newborn that just came out of its mother's womb SHIT SHIT !!!".
[And don't forget the smell, you smell so bad right now, Fufufu].
"SHIT! yoYou'reight I smell like moth balls now"
[Have you ever smelled moth balls?].
"...No."
[...].
And this is how the dialogue took place between Subaru and Nats while Subaru was trying to get out from under the body of the fat bandit who fell unconscious while Subaru was performing his first surgery in the area of the testicles of a person and it is clear that the operation did not go well as evidenced by the amount of blood flowing around the fat body ...wish is a lot.
"Well I guess there's only one left and we're done."
Subaru said after regaining his knife and ending the fat Bandits life by slitting his throat, but his expression suddenly fall after he looked in the direction of the crying little bandit,... or where he was supposed to be.
"Damn, what a coward he is,...after watching his friends get killed one by one, while he just sat there crying like a little girl...but now he's just runs away FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK ."
Subaru shouted curses while kicking the fat bandit corpse over and over again and again so hard with his foot that bones could be heard crunching in the side of the ribs until Nats intervened to tell him off.
[Calm down Subaru It's no use crying over spilled milk He ran away Now we can't do anything about that].
"You're right, there's nothing we can do about that...at least Fatty had some BALLS for trying to avenge his dead captain...right Nats?.".
Subaru said his mood suddenly changed at lightning speed from angry to joking.
[...Not funny S-u-b-a-r-u~ ].
"Tsk your no fun," Subaru said with feigned anger.
[Fufu~fufu~.]
Subaru chats with Nats as he begins searching the two dead Bandits' pockets, looking for some money or things he can use to survive.
"Fuck these bastards,... look at these Nats, all this money, they are here trying to rob me?, it's me?, I'm the one who has nothing, so if we ignore the banknotes i have, that it's useless except for using it as toilet paper, except for that. I'm so poor, fuck them!!."
Subaru said angry, after searching all the pockets of the dead thieves, looking for something that he could use to survive, and indeed, Subaru found a purse full of silver and copper coins.
["oh my~, well did you find anything else ?"]
"Yes, in fact, I found something. I found two lousy daggers full of rust with their leader... In fact, I was right in eliminating the leader first. Imagine if the leader managed to wound me with those daggers."
Subaru said trembling at the thought as he looked at the bandits leader dead body with the handles of the two daggers protruding from his eye sockets.
[Was that really necessary S-u-b-a-r-u~ ?]
Said nats as if a deadpan look on her non-existent face.
"No, I just had the urge to do that, so I did."
Subaru, said without concern as he began to clean his face, hands and his knife and finally his clothes, of blood using the dry side of the clothes of the two dead bandits...Until he stopped again looking at his knife with a thoughtful expression, he opened his mouth to speak.
"By the way, Nats, did you notice something strange that happened to me while I was fighting, or in more precise words, slaughtering these two?"
[Like what S-u-b-a-r-u~.?]
"Well when I attacked the bandit leader while stabbing him with a knife I felt twice as strong, And my ability to pin him in place and stab him quickly without leaving a chance for him to respond is something I would not have been able to do normally in the previous world. Isn't this amazing?"
Subaru said excited at the idea that he might be stronger in this new world than he was before.
[Now that I think about it, yeah, it was weird that you were able to pull that off, and let's not forget that you managed to avoid two big hits from the huge one over there. Now I wonder how that happened.?]
Nats, said Now that she has realized that Subaru's ability to kill the two bandits so brutally and efficiently without getting hit once is very strange, As she was thinking, Subaru started to speak again.
"I do not know, maybe the earthly gravity of this world is different from my previous world, but despite that, I do not feel any difference in that aspect. I am not a scientist, so I do not know."
Subaru sighed a little with anger that he couldn't find a suitable explanation and Nats sensed his bad mood decided to speak.
[I also don't know Let's forget about it for now maybe we'll find out about it later after we meet people we can talk to normally without having to FIGHT them to death after the first meeting Am I right Subaru?.]
Nats said, with a little anger and reprimand in her voice.
"Come on Nats you know very well that it wasn't my fault they attacked me first"
[SUBARU!!!]
Subaru desperately tries to defend himself, but Nats knows better than to fall for his unconvincing words as she snapped at him.
"Alright , Alright, there's no need to get angry. Nats I'll try my best not to kill everyone we meet...deal ?".
Subaru sighed after telling Nats in a low voice
[That's not the problem, Subaru. I don't care who you kill or why. Well, all I care about is you. I just don't want to see you get hurt like those times that make you have to rely on that ability. When I remember you getting hurt, I feel so sad.]
"..."
[I know you haven't used that ability in five months since you've become smarter and stronger and you've also had loyal followers who fear you and will do anything you tell them...but you have to remember Subaru we are in a world that we don't know anything about a world that is very unknown to us and your followers are not here to protect you anymore so you have to be very careful and don't rush your steps in this world because I don't want to see you get hurt again okay Subaru ?].
Nats told Subaru in a loud, sad, deeply hurting voice that only he could hear. Subaru understood her pain, After a brief silence, Subaru decided to speak.
"...Well Nats I promise you my life, No that doesn't sound right...I promise you with my love for you I'll be careful and not rely on my ability too much...now Nats Does, that sound fair to you. ?"
He replied to her with a voice full of kindness, tenderness and love as well.
[Yes S-u-b-a-r-u~ It is... Thank you Subaru Thank you very much I am so happy...and I love you too forever and ever].
She said now more reassured and happy with the promise Subaru gave her.
" Suddenly I feel energized, maybe I should get back to cleaning."
Subaru said, going back to cleaning up all the blood on his face, hand, knife and clothes.
Just then footsteps were heard...
When Subaru heard the sound of footsteps, he gripped his semi-clean knife firmly, turning his entire body in the direction of the sound, the exit of the narrow alley.
"oh my are you lost little girl.?"
Subaru said, hiding the hand holding the dagger while waving his other hand, smiling amiably at the girl standing at the exit of the alley.
"W-What... the HELL WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!???".
said the girl, terrified and shocked, as she looked at the bloodbath in the middle of the narrow alley.
Her frame was small, and she possessed shoulder-length blonde hair which fluttered in the wind. Her eyes suggested a strong will and her fang-like canine protruded mischievously. She looked rather cheeky, but it could be said that she was cute conconsidering her age.
The shabbily dressed girl had just come across the scene of a genuine slaughterhouse.
Subaru, while looking at the girl, was thinking how he would explain what happened here... to this little girl, but every thought that came to his mind was worse than the one before it, considering that his bloody face, his clothes, and also the knife that the girl had probably seen in his hands, everything indicated that he was the culprit... Finally, Subaru sighed in surrender.
He decided to tell the truth to the shocked girl.
"Listen, little girl, what happened here... wasn't my fault. Well, it is-..."
Subaru stopped talking when he noticed how the girl was looking at the corpses 'She knows who they are. If a girl like that knows these bastards, that means one thing'. Subaru thought, his knife now visible in his hand.
[She is just a bandit just like them]. Nats completed what he thought.
-'Well, I think this will make things easier for me. Nats, I will kill the girl.' Subaru told Nats through his thoughts.
[Just be careful].
As if she sensed the change of mood and killing intent in Subaru's cold eyes, the girl took a step back in fear, but suddenly the girl looked behind her, as if she remembered something urgent.
Subaru noticed the look of fear, and also the look, as if she was in a hurry?. Subaru smiled, a smile of understanding. 'Of course, this girl is a thief. What will occupy her mind other than that?'. Subaru thought, opening his mouth to speak.
"Hey little Girl, you're running away from someone, right? Looks like you stole something, and now you're on the run. Is that right?"
Subaru paused to see if the girl was paying attention 'Good. She's paying attention to me, or maybe... she's being too attentive.? Subaru thought as he looked at the little girl and she looked at him with her eyes wide. There was still fear and also a lot of caution towards him.
"W-what do you want f-from me"
said the girl with some fear and caution in her voice.
"Well, not mush honesty... just, give me everything you have, and if you don't, well, I'll make your death very, very painful, and then I'll kill your stalker too. That's cool, isn't it? That's the best deal you can ever get, right?"
Subaru said as he skillfully twirled his knife between his fingers.
[seriously S-u-b-a-r-u~] Nats said as if a deadpan expression on her non-existent face.
'Calm down, I'm just kidding with her ...i think?.'. Subaru replied to her in his thoughts.
[...].
While Subaru was in the middle of a conversation with Nats,...The girl, as expected, after hearing his offer, looked at him as if he was completely insane, but this did not last as the girl narrowed her eyes at Subaru as if she had finally made up her mind.
"You are completely insane, you monster. Now GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!.".
"hm.?".
After announcing that, the girl took a position of readiness, as if she was about to run, putting her hand behind her, as if she was holding on to something. In the end, the girl muttered something.
"Wha..?"
Suddenly, the girl was coming very quickly towards Subaru. No, or rather, the girl passed Subaru while they were close. Their eyes met momentarily,The girl looked at him with hate, and that moment did not last, as Subaru tried to catch her, but she was too fast as she continued to run past him into what seemed to be a dead end Astonishingly fast.
"Damn, that was amazing,... no that girl was amazing "
[Yeah, she is].
This is the dialogue between Subaru and Nats while he looks on the girl as She proceeded to leap off a leaning board and rapidly disappeared up the wall.
With the girl gone, the alley naturally went silent. She'd gone by like a typhoon leaving subaru and Nats amazed.
"―That's enough, villains."
But this silence was shattered after a short while by a clear voice that rang through the alley, Which interrupts Subaru's conversation with Nats while they were looking in the direction the girl ran away from not too long ago.
