Satou Kazuma turned his head and saw Felt, looking very annoyed.
Felt hadn't gone far when she felt something was wrong. She stopped and felt in her pocket, only to find that the badge she had worked so hard to steal was gone.
Felt knew she wouldn't make such a simple mistake as accidentally losing the badge; someone must have secretly taken it.
During her escape, she had only seen one person, and that person looked very suspicious.
It was Satou Kazuma.
So Felt immediately came back to settle the score with Satou Kazuma.
"It's you! You stole my things!"
Seeing Felt return, Satou Kazuma immediately realized things were bad, but his amazing ability to stay calm made him put on a very confused expression:
"What badge? I don't know what you're talking about."
"It's definitely you! You're the only suspicious person I saw along the way!"
Felt stared intently at Satou Kazuma.
She was pretty sure Satou Kazuma had done it, but his innocent expression made her hesitate.
"Don't make false accusations! I didn't do anything! I've always been poor, but I don't steal. I work hard to earn money to support my idiot sister."
Satou Kazuma immediately pretended to be very sad about being wrongly accused, and his voice choked up.
"We've been orphans since we were little. My sister wasn't born with a good brain, and I have to work hard to earn money to cure her..."
Aqua next to him looked confused.
Idiot sister?
Kazuma has an idiot sister?
I didn't know that.
She didn't realize that Satou Kazuma was talking about her.
Natsuki Subaru looked at Satou Kazuma in a daze.
This guy, can he really go this far?
Satou Kazuma pretended to cry while talking about his 'family's misfortunes', making Felt doubt herself.
Although she had been without parents since she was little, she had a very happy life with Old Man Rom.
Besides, Aqua next to him didn't really look very smart.
"Okay, okay, don't cry like a big man! It's embarrassing! How about this, you help me find the badge, and I'll give you a reward, okay?"
Felt immediately stepped forward to comfort him, patting Satou Kazuma on the back.
Just as Felt patted him, something fell out of Satou Kazuma's pocket, making a clear sound on the ground that everyone could hear.
The badge landed on the ground and spun mockingly, slowly stopping only after several seconds.
Everyone's faces were dark, and a suffocating silence filled the air between them.
Satou Kazuma was the first to break the silence.
"Wow! Is this the badge you're looking for! I found it for you! Haha! About that reward—"
Before Satou Kazuma could finish, Felt punched him, sending him flying.
Although Satou Kazuma was taller than Felt, his strength, stamina, and agility were far below average, making him no match for her.
"You dare to trick me! And how did you even do it! How did you steal something from me!"
Felt didn't give Satou Kazuma a chance to breathe. He dared to trick her, so he needed to be taught a lesson.
She raised her leg, ready to kick Satou Kazuma.
Satou Kazuma couldn't forget the fear of being kicked by Felt in the previous loop, so he quickly used his ability in desperation.
Steal!
Only this could stop Felt's attack!
As Satou Kazuma used his ability, Felt's movement as she was about to kick stopped as if frozen.
Her face turned red, and she slowly lowered her leg.
In Satou Kazuma's hand, that familiar white underwear appeared again.
"Jackpot! Jackpot! Come on, kick me! Weren't you very tough just now? If you try anything, I'll throw these away~"
Satou Kazuma had a very creepy smile on his face, wriggling his body like seaweed, and holding the underwear up high, as if he had obtained a treasure.
He believed he had successfully stolen Felt's underwear, and she wouldn't dare to do anything because of shame.
And Satou Kazuma lacked one thing the most: shame!
But...
This trick didn't work on Felt.
The more Felt was threatened, the more she would oppose you.
"You dare threaten me!"
Annoyance appeared on Felt's face, and she took out a dagger from her waist, pointing it at Satou Kazuma.
The moment she took out the dagger, Satou Kazuma kneeled on the ground faster than anyone could imagine.
"I'm sorry! I'll give it back to you now!"
His attitude changed faster than flipping a book. Satou Kazuma, kneeling on the ground, held his hands up high, like holding a treasure, ready to return the small white underwear to Felt.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
Felt looked at Satou Kazuma and felt a burst of anger. He was the most shameless person she had ever met. He had acted innocent and pitiful just now, and now he was kneeling down and apologizing. How could someone be so shameless?
But there was one thing Felt was more concerned about.
'How did this guy... do it?'
Felt couldn't figure it out. What means did this person use to steal these things from her?
The badge was one thing, but how did he steal her underwear?
Was it magic? Or some other special ability?
"I'll beat you half to death first and then ask you slowly!"
Just as Felt was about to attack, a sound of hurried footsteps came from behind them.
"Don't think you can escape! Return what you stole!"
A clear voice rang out. Satou Kazuma and the others turned their heads and saw a silver-haired half-elf girl appear before them, her amethyst eyes showing caution.
Undoubtedly, she was the beautiful girl that Natsuki Subaru had mentioned before.
Satella—
Or rather, her real name.
Emilia.
