"Yes, from scratch." You Te nodded in agreement.
Then his gaze fixed on the snacks in Natsuki Subaru's bag.
"Since you're starting from scratch, give all these to me." With that, without waiting for Natsuki Subaru to react, he quickly took the bag from his hand.
Then he put the unfinished potato chips in it.
Hmm... it wouldn't be too much to use the male lead's things to flirt with the female lead, right?
"Ah… you…" Natsuki Subaru opened his mouth, feeling a bit pained.
This bag of snacks might be his last remaining connection to his previous life.
But who told him to just say he wanted to start from scratch?
It wouldn't be good to ask for them back.
No longer dwelling on it, Natsuki Subaru suggested, "You Te, let's go explore the city."
"Hmm, alright."
Taking someone's things makes you feel indebted.
The two walked side by side towards the bustling street.
Along the way, Natsuki Subaru was like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking everywhere.
Sometimes he ran too fast and stumbled into a female demi-human's restroom, only to escape after getting several slaps.
There were also some pubs and restaurants that explicitly prohibited humans or demi-humans from entering.
And a small number of demi-humans were extremely hostile towards humans.
If Natsuki Subaru hadn't run fast, he probably would have been beaten to death.
"You Te, are humans and demi-humans enemies?" Natsuki Subaru ran out of a pub that only served demi-humans, bent over, clutching his knees, and gasping for breath.
You Te nodded, explaining, "Decades ago, the Lugnica Kingdom experienced the 'Demi-Human War.' This war was a civil war within the kingdom, and both humans and demi-humans paid a heavy price, with countless lives lost."
"Although the war ultimately ended with a truce and the signing of a peace treaty, the estrangement and prejudice between humans and demi-humans still exist to this day."
"I see." Natsuki Subaru scratched his head, feeling a bit scared. "No wonder those lizard demi-humans were so heavy-handed just now. Good thing I ran fast."
At the same time, he felt lucky to have met You Te right after transmigrating. He could directly ask for a lot of information and wouldn't be completely clueless.
The two walked around, and then Natsuki Subaru suddenly stopped in front of a fruit stall.
He looked at the text on the fruit stall's sign.
He couldn't understand it.
He could understand the language but not the written words.
"Little brother, your clothes are quite unusual. Are you a tourist from a foreign country?" The fruit stall owner was a muscular man with green hair, a two-leaf clover in his mouth.
Natsuki Subaru nodded, his eyes on the fruit that looked exactly like apples from his previous life.
He pointed at the red fruit and asked, "Boss, what is this?"
"These are apples. How many do you want, little brother?"
"I see." Natsuki Subaru stroked his chin and nodded, thinking that the civilization here was similar to games from his previous life, a typical medieval style.
Most things were pretty much the same.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for?" The burly owner saw Natsuki Subaru spacing out and thought he was messing with him. He grabbed him by the collar and roared, "If you're not buying, get lost! Don't disrupt my business!"
Natsuki Subaru was startled and instinctively wanted to reach for his wallet, but then he realized that the currency from his previous life definitely wouldn't work here.
It should also be like medieval games, using special coins like copper coins, silver coins, and so on.
"Boss, we'll buy apples." You Te spoke up then, taking some copper coins from his pocket and handing them to the owner.
The burly owner's expression immediately changed after taking them. He chuckled and patted Natsuki Subaru's arm: "You should have said you had money earlier. Sorry about that, a lot of beggars usually come to beg."
Natsuki Subaru ignored the owner and instead gave You Te a grateful look.
At the same time, he was processing the information the owner mentioned about "a lot of beggars."
This was the royal capital of the Lugnica Kingdom. Even the royal capital had many beggars, which indicated that the kingdom was not as prosperous as it appeared on the surface.
Connecting this to the 'Demi-Human War' You Te mentioned decades ago,
Natsuki Subaru's lips unconsciously began to curl upward. The current turbulent situation was a godsend opportunity for him, a transmigrator.
He wanted to realize his ambitions.
Heroes emerge in troubled times.
"Subaru, why are you grinning like an idiot?" You Te took a bag of apples from the burly owner, directly pulled out an apple, and bit into it.
With a "crunch," a crisp sound echoed in the air, and the apple's juice instantly spread in his mouth.
"Cough, cough." Natsuki Subaru snapped out of his reverie, then showed a brilliant smile, giving a thumbs-up: "You Te, when I become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget you."
"Alright, alright." You Te ate his apple, offering no comment.
Natsuki Subaru was about to say more grand words when his gaze was caught by a white figure.
"So beautiful." He murmured softly after scrutinizing her from head to toe.
You Te followed Natsuki Subaru's gaze and saw Emilia, who looked a bit anxious.
Emilia also saw You Te then. Her anxious expression immediately disappeared, and she smiled and waved at him, then jogged over.
"Liya, why aren't you resting at the hotel?" You Te didn't know if it was intentional or accidental, but he directly started calling her Liya, just like Puck.
When Emilia heard the intimate address of Liya, her small face instantly flushed with a faint blush, her heart seemed to beat a few times faster, and a sweet feeling spread in her heart.
"You Te, who is this?"
Emilia adjusted herself and then looked at Natsuki Subaru beside You Te.
Before You Te could introduce him, Natsuki Subaru, being familiar, took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Natsuki Subaru. This beautiful lady can just call me Subaru."
"Hello…" Emilia nodded politely.
At this moment, You Te walked to Emilia's side, put down the apple and snack bag, took out a handkerchief from his in my arms to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead, and asked:
"What happened? You're in such a hurry."
"Ah…" Emilia's pretty face was completely flushed, as if covered by the evening glow. The crimson spread from her cheeks all the way to her earlobes. She shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at You Te, and didn't dare to move.
Natsuki Subaru, on the side, widened his eyes. This wave of PDA caught him off guard.
"Are You Te and Liya a couple?"
He asked directly, feeling a bit heartbroken.
