"Hey kid! Do you wanna buy this appa?"
Huh? What the hell just happened? He was standing right infront of that apple vendor again
"Sorry sir, have you seen me before?"
Much to the vendors confusion
"Huh? The hell are you talking about kid this is the first time I've seen ya"
While most people wouldn't understand what's going on, he does, after living so for so long his intellect and and wisdom are far more than he used to have, he could deduce...
"Did I just go back in time?"
He wondered aloud much to his chagrin and to the confusion of kadomon
Which of course led him to walk away while still thinking to himself
"If I really did go back in time... how did I do it? I don't exactly remember very vividly how such a thing would activate, all I remember is freaking out after she said... satella..."
After saying that to himself his mind started thinking at break neck speeds in order for him to finally process the sheer hundreds of years of dormant information lying around in his memories leaving him breathless as he sat down in that alley way
"Jeez my head hurts, I'm still myself but... I remember so much, that apple vendors life and that elf's life, so much pain, why did I even have to have a ability like this? I can just gain the memories of who I want and I basically respawn? What kind of shitty rpg is this?"
Oh course he gets interrupted by the same thugs from before oddly enough they didn't have notification symbols to gain their memories, which was odd to him he wishes he could just ignore them but now is not the time, he wants to get out of here, and fast
"Look guys I don't have the time for this so sorry in advance!"
He stretched his hand out infront of him and shouted something he shouldn't know
"Huma!"
Multiple icicles shoot out from his hands grazing the thugs and hitting all around them, they of course got the warning and ran out of there leaving Subaru much more exhausted and sitting down
"Jeez I should be more careful next time, I barely remembered that, that was a spell incantation, I didn't even know what it was for but atleast I'm fine, must have been one of that girls memories I think I remembered her having ice powers"
He just sat there and looked up in the sky, why was even going on in his life anymore, there was too many confusing things going on that he didn't want to be apart of
"God this is pure bullshit, why can't I just go home?"
He cried tears for about the second time after entering this world, everything was too much for him, and there was too much going on, he'd rather just sit there forever
"But I guess I have to get up eventually... gosh I'm such a failure, why can't I just go home? Please I'll give anything just to go home..."
He walked out of the alley way, just as the white haired half elf from earlier was just about to walk into it
He wandered down the streets, hating every bit of this new fantasy world where he thought everything would go well for him, instead he just got two shitty powers and some terrible new memories, it wasn't exactly killing until he found himself in the slums after all his brooding, it was already late so might as well go find somewhere to stay...
"Hey man, you know a good place I can sleep at?
He asked a slum dweller, who was surprised at first but decided to answer
"You can really just sleep anywhere brother, but if you can get to old man rims you could probably trade him something to let you sleep in his loot house, just take 2 lefts go forward then a right and it's there, live strong"
Of course Subaru had the attention span of a goldfish and only heard the words "sleep" "trade" and the directions to which he slouched over and started walking, it wasn't long until he found himself infront of the loot house, though the door was wide open and there was tons of screaming coming from inside of it
"The hell is going on in there?"
He wondered before going in, what a mistake that was as he saw some sort of only fans models trying to kill a giant, a kindergartener, and the same white haired girl from before
"What kind of bullshit-"
He wondered... before he got slashed across the stomach, but it was shallow as the assassin had jumped away after almost being crushed by a club, he forced himself to scoot away and next to the people defending themselves
He was bleeding out, but due to his limited understanding of healing magic he was barely able to heal himself
"What the hell is going on over here?!"
He quickly questioned them to which they replied in haste
"It's Elsa the bowel hunter! She's trying to kill us!"
Emilia screamed in panick, of course Subaru just heard "kill us" and understood so he started firing icicles with Emilia in the hope of slowing Elsa down, and it surprisingly works? Maybe it's just all the combat experience he got from the memories, of course he kind just flops after casting Huma 7 times
"Man what is this bullshit? Why can't I just go home goddamn it?"
Of course he get interrupted again by the entire roof coming off? And a generic shonen protagonist appearing on top of the building
He started speaking but Subaru kinda just toned him out more focused on his notification
[would you like to become this person?]
[Elsa Granhiert] Y/N
[Reinhard Van Astrea] Y/N
"Man... screw this bullshit I'm not trying to get anymore of these terrible memories today"
Subaru surprisingly choose no to both, very unlike most protagonists choosing to sit by the side of the building as "Reinhard"? He thinks? Whatever, they guy with the red hair absolutely obliterates the assassin infront of him, though her notification was gone so... his eyes widen
"Emilia! Watch out!"
Emilia was surprised but she barely manages to dodge out of the way of Elsa's blade causing Reinhard to rush over and deflect her making her jump away and say something cringy like "I will take all of your bowels some day" and run away, Subaru didn't really care at this point, he just wanted to go home maybe if there's magic here he can go back? Though it's too early to think so ahead when he has nothing right now... yeah... nothing...
