As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"……What do you mean?"

She was stunned and asked speechlessly.

[This thing...return it? 】

asked Shadow.

Looking at the exquisiteness of this badge, it is obviously a valuable item. It must be very important to that girl.

"...Huh, since I picked it all up, it's better to return it to its original owner."

She sighed, then stood up and walked towards the direction the other party left.

[Good boy. 】

'Besides, I won't return it. '

【Ugh……】

Ying Chongnu sighed helplessly.

Although I originally planned to follow the other party, there seemed to be a big gap in the road, and the other party had disappeared. Even if I turned on the elemental vision, I couldn't see any traces, not even any footprints. I guess I must be very good at doing things in secret.

In desperation, I had to go through the previous market again...and find someone to ask for directions.

This doesn't...find one.

"Ouch~? Isn't this the little beauty from just now? What? You want to buy more apples after eating them?"

The familiar apple seller was sitting outside the apple stall, blowing the wind with a fan, teasing her leisurely.

"..."

When she saw the uncle, she paused, then glanced at the stack of white paper and a pencil placed on the booth next to him. With a thought, she walked over, tore out a page and took the pen. He started to draw something on his hand.

"Hey~ What, what's wrong?"

The uncle was slightly startled when he saw this.

In about less than a minute, or even less than half a minute, she drew all the features of the girl on it. The lines were very delicate. She handed it to the uncle in front of her to see. Maybe she moved a little too quickly. It also made the other party lean back subconsciously.

"Is there an impression?"

she asked bluntly.

"Eh? Ah... let me see..."

The uncle came back to his senses and understood what she meant, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in embarrassment, then took the paper over and read it.

"Um--"

Looking at the pencil drawing in front of him, he silently touched his chin and thought for a while.

"..."

At this moment, the general narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the other party, as if he was speechless.

"...Felut?"

Finally the uncle said something.

"...Turute?"

She didn't catch it.

"It's Felt~!"

The other party said something speechless again.

"Phi-what?"

she asked puzzled.

"The name of the person, the person you drew may be 'Felute'."

The other party shook the paper back and forth and said this to her.

"blond?"

she asked.

"Yeah, that's right...very agile, right?"

"That's it."

She nodded.

"That's right."

The other party nodded and concluded.

"She is very famous in the slums, but I don't know where she lives specifically. If you want to find her, just go there and wander around."

The uncle held a toothpick in his mouth and gave her instructions.

"...Where is the slum?"

she asked.

"Oh, the slums are just south of the royal capital. It's easy to find. It's in the ruins-like area."

The uncle pointed the way.

"Thank you."

She simply thanked him and turned around to leave in the south direction.

"Hey~ you don't want to buy apples?!"

The other party yelled from behind, but she had no intention of paying attention and just said, 'Bang! 'The sound turned into thunder and flew into the sky towards the south of the royal capital! !

呲呲~! !

The thunder light descended from the sky and finally floated to the edge of this dilapidated town. The light particles reorganized into the figure of a slender woman. The general walked out. She subconsciously glanced at the golden dusk on the horizon. It was already late. She came out. It's already too late... plus all this trouble, I have to speed up the pace, and besides, she hasn't found Emilia yet.

~啊~

The crows hanging on the old roof nearby saw her calling from time to time and fluttering their wings around. Different from the previous royal capital, this place was filled with a somewhat depressing atmosphere. The overall tone was also dim, with similar sounds mixed in around it. The dust in the mist is particularly obvious under the dusk at this time, like the Tyndall effect, but it is rougher in comparison, like yellow sand.

[Is this a slum? It’s really dilapidated. 】

Ying has some complicated emotions.

'These are the living areas of the lower class people...'

As Tong Ying said, dilapidated is a perfect way to describe this place. The dilapidated old dirt roads, the deep alleys where people appear from time to time, and the old window sills that occasionally make harsh noises, almost every day. Every step can stir up a trace of dust.

On both sides were residents wearing rags, some beggars struggling to get food, and even some children who were extremely poor.

tata~

As she walked in this dilapidated area, people passing by would subconsciously look at her, and that's right...she was incompatible with this place in terms of temperament, appearance, and clothing.

Even some poor young people passing by turned rosy with obsession the moment they saw her appearance, as if they were possessed. She sighed helplessly when she saw this.

A little girl who was passing by begging for food took one look at her and stopped, took out five coins from her pocket and put them in the other person's bowl. The other person smiled at her and then treated her like a treasure. He stuffed the coins into his pocket and left.

[Is this money enough for her? 】

asked Shadow.

'Perhaps this is the most money she has received all day. '

[Phew...how pitiful. 】

At this moment, Ying felt a little uncomfortable. As a god, she did have that kind of compassion. Seeing this scene, she was inevitably a little sad.

The general who stood up found that there were people looking at her from the surrounding windows. Then he turned around and took a few brief glances, and found that these people were looking at her with resentful eyes, as if they wanted to eat her up.

'There are also people who hate it. '

She answered in her heart.

[That’s right...after all...human nature is the same. 】

'Let's go. '

【Ok…】

She took another step towards the deeper road, subconsciously ignoring some people and things she passed along the way.

Re0~Time travels back and forth, only you are by my side: Chapter 4...what happened?

After walking for several minutes...still nothing was found.

[Just searching blindly like this is not an option. 】

'Hmm, after all, the uncle doesn't know the specific location. He only knows that the other party is in the slums, and the houses here are very similar. '

She walked and chatted with her mother.

[Open elemental vision again, General. 】

Shadow suggested.

hum~

The general obeyed and let his eyes glow with purple light. For a moment, the entire area suddenly glowed with a purple theme, and then radar waves were emitted from it like sonar. However, this time it was different from before, and obvious footprints could be seen. The footprints were slender and petite, and they were probably those of 'Felt'.

【Sure enough...】

Shadow smiled.

'That is to say... her vigilance dropped after entering the slum area, and then she inadvertently left traces. '

[But...why is she wary? 】

Ying asked keenly.

'I don't know...maybe he's being chased by someone?' '

The opponent's footsteps were very hurried before.

Now that she knew the steps, it was easier. She kept walking deeper along the steps. Just like this, a few more minutes passed. The original dusk still turned into darkness, and the desolate moonlight also fell from high in the sky. There was already some light in this area. The gloomy slum gave off a subtle silvery white color, and the surrounding area was very quiet, abnormally quiet, with only a few crickets chirping.

But as you go further, you feel that the houses on both sides become increasingly sparse. In the distance is a desert-like plain, and this is the only area that is inhabited.

Finally, she stopped in a double-storey house that was several times larger than before. It looked like a dilapidated tavern. There was no light inside so late at night, not even a basic candlelight. It was like deathly silence.
