Bab 3: First Meeting
At a school in another world, Horikita looked at Ayanokouji in wonder.
In her eyes, Ayanokouji appeared to be a man with little motivation to do anything.
Moreover, Ayanokouji in the video seemed capable of solving all three problems but chose not to, fearing complications and reducing risks.
Is Ayanokouji really such a person?
A sudden premonition came to Horikita's mind. It seemed she didn't understand the boy sitting next to her at all.
"Ayanokouji..."
"It's just a video."
Ayanokouji, knowing the question in Horikita's mind, spoke first.
However, he understood that if it were truly him, he would make the same choice and consider the same problems as in the video.
In other words, the person in the video was his true self, but from another time period?
Is this a video from the future?
While thinking, Ayanokouji reached out and removed the battery from his student terminal. Even so, the video on the student terminal screen continued to play.
This is beyond the realm of science.
Ayanokouji did not know why this was happening, and he wasn't ready to think about it now, because this question was destined to remain unanswered at this time, and it was a waste of time to think about it now.
It would be best to let everything stay as it is and see what happens after the video.

Seeing his punch fail, the tall robber was slightly surprised. He had clearly grabbed his opponent's collar. How could this person avoid his attack?
"I'm really sorry, but I really don't have any money. The only valuable thing I have is this."
Looking at the fierce robber in front of him, Ayanokouji spoke slowly, then pulled out the money he had put in his pocket.
The coins in the bag were handed over to the other party. For him at the moment, the least valuable thing he carried was money. Now his food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were not guaranteed, and food could not be given away. Although the mobile phone was now useless, Ayanokouji felt it would be a special existence in this world in the future and might be exchanged for something more valuable in the future, so he couldn't give it up.
So the only thing not valuable about him was the change he had. Now it was just a few scraps of paper.
The three robbers looked at the change Ayanokouji handed out. They were stunned for a few seconds and then became angry: "Are you kidding?"
As for Ayanokouji, he always kept a calm expression and spoke slowly: "Sorry, this is the only valuable thing I have."
At the same time, he was calculating in his mind when the fifth person might arrive. It would be better if he did not take action personally.
'That person should be arriving soon,' Ayanokouji thought to himself, then opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "Help!"
Ayanokouji's sudden movement startled the three of them. They didn't expect Ayanokouji, who had seemed so calm just now, to suddenly shout for help.
"Hey, are you looking for death!?"
"Shut up!"
"Stop his mouth!"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the alley, and the sound was somewhat urgent.
"There it is!" A sharp woman's voice soon followed.
'Did she finally get here?'
Ayanokouji tilted his head slightly and focused his gaze on the source of the sound.
It was a woman who wasn't very tall with long, white-silver hair like a falling star, skin as white as snow, and a gentle face with eyes surrounded by softness. She was truly beautiful—if she wasn't a Half-Elf and Demi-Human.
❀❀❀
"Isn't she a Half-Elf?!"
"Damn, that guy met that Witch!"
"Such bad luck!"
Among the crowd, they all cursed the girl in the picture, just because of her lineage and the fact that she had the same appearance as the Witch who once destroyed the world.
"Why, why does she look like me?"
At this moment, Emilia standing in the alley and looking up at the sky, could hear the discussions spreading on the street, but she seemed used to it. There was no real change in her expression, except her eyes were wide open with doubt.
She didn't know why her appearance was shown in the sky, and a feeling of embarrassment spread in her heart.
And most importantly, Emilia had no impression of meeting Ayanokouji. She was sure she had never seen him before, but the person in the recording was undoubtedly her.
A bold guess appeared in Emilia's mind.
Could it be that the scene in the sky was happening in the future?
Would she meet this man in the future?
While daydreaming, Emilia turned her gaze back to the image in the sky.

Ayanokouji turned his gaze to the girl and observed her carefully.
As a traveler from another world, he didn't know what the girl's appearance meant in this reality, he thought to himself: 'She looks about my age, but judging from her figure, she rarely exercises, and her clothes are different from the surrounding people—a wealthy woman who is useless.'
The girl's sudden appearance filled the three robbers' faces with confusion: "Which way are you on?"
"If you stop now, I can still let you go, so return what you stole from me!" The girl said fluently, with full force, and showed no fear upon seeing the robbers.
The girl's appearance aroused Ayanokouji's curiosity. In his eyes, a clear anxious expression was evident. There was no doubt that something very important had been taken from the girl who looked like an owl at night. However, Ayanokouji was a little worried. This girl seemed to have no strength, speaking in a strong tone.
❀❀❀
"This guy really looks at Lia like this! What a rude guy! If I really meet this guy, I'll teach him a lesson."
Puck said in a firm tone, while Emilia slightly pursed her lips.
Although the other party didn't seem to be from this world, at least the boy named Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't show the same disgust or fear as others in this world after seeing her appearance.
If Ayanokouji were a native of this world, he might be like the others.
When she thought about this, there was a bit of sadness in Emilia's eyes, but it passed quickly.
"Puck, it's just an illusion, and as a hostage, it's natural to think that the person with power will save them."
Emilia defended the boy she hadn't met yet.
"Let's continue and see. We don't know what will happen next."

"Stolen item?"
The three robbers' faces were full of confusion. They didn't know what the girl was talking about, but her face resembling the Witch made them feel a bit uneasy.
"Forget other things, but that item is very important. Don't lose it. You all are good people, so just return the items to me honestly!"
Although the girl said this, she naturally knew in her heart that the three evil people in front of her were not good at all. At the same time, her slightly anxious gaze couldn't help but focus on Ayanokouji's face, whose collar was caught.
"Aren't you here to save him?" The tallest robber asked doubtfully.
The girl shook her head firmly: "I don't know him, and what he does has nothing to do with me."
"Then don't worry about our business. The thief might be the girl earlier. She ran over there."
Another robber pointed his finger in the direction the girl had run earlier, and the girl with long silver hair faced them.
The girl nodded, then ignored the four people and walked past them.
❀❀❀
"Indeed, Half-Elf is very selfish!"
"Ignore the people being robbed?"
"Such a cold woman!"
Seeing Emilia walk past everyone in the picture, the residents of Lugnica Kingdom began to criticize and belittle her actions. However, if they were in Emilia's position, nine out of ten, they would just pretend not to see.
But as observers, they felt they could criticize the Half-Elf girl from a high moral standpoint.
❀❀❀
"Really, did she just walk like that?"
In the classroom, Ayanokouji's classmate, Kushida Kikyo, said in a confused tone, with a slight tone of reproach, directing her gaze at Ayanokouji.
At this moment, Ayanokouji's face showed no change in expression. To him, there was nothing wrong with Emilia's actions. If he were Emilia, he would definitely choose to turn a blind eye, and he wouldn't want to get into trouble with strangers. Unless it was beneficial to him, Ayanokouji wouldn't easily choose to take action.
However, Ayanokouji noticed that in the video, the silver-haired girl's eyes were always unconsciously focused on him.
❰❱SKY SCREEN❰❱
The girl slowly walked past the crowd. Listening to the sound of her white boots on the ground, they sighed in relief. After all, the other party's face resembled the face of the Witch who almost destroyed the world in history. It gave them an unpleasant feeling, and even the most ruthless criminals didn't want to deal with her.
But when the girl was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and turned quickly, her skirt slightly lifting: "But regardless of whether you stole something or not, I can't turn a blind eye to this incident!"
As she spoke, her eyes became resolute, and she raised her hand, directing her palm towards the three robbers. Then, three ice bullets, each about seven or eight centimeters in diameter, formed out of thin air and struck the robbers with precise accuracy.
All three fell to the ground simultaneously. Ayanokouji also took this opportunity to free himself from the robbers' grasp.
The smallest man seemed to have fainted, and the other two stood up reluctantly. Among them, the slimmer man with a hunchback drew two short knives from behind him, confirming that Ayanokouji was indeed behind him.
"Are you a Mage? But no matter what kind of Mage you are, do you think you have a chance to win two against one?" The robbers threatened.
At this moment, Ayanokouji stepped back, keeping his distance from the others, while his eyes scanned everyone present.
'Able to create ice bullets from thin air, is that magic? It seems there are indeed some unique powers in this world.'
Ayanokouji looked at the girl and thought to himself. At the same time, he had no intention of intervening in this battle. On one hand, he wanted to continue observing and gather more information, believing these gangsters should not be his opponents. He did not want to reveal his true identity or get involved in this fight.
❀❀❀
"Lia clearly came to save this person, but he's acting like he's not involved!"
Puck had no good impression of Ayanokouji in the video, and now Emilia was very confused. The gap between Ayanokouji's thinking in the video and that of an ordinary person was too large.
It could be said that this seemingly harmless boy was as cold as an emotionless machine, and too rational.
❰❱SKY SCREEN❰❱
"Yes, two against one is a bit unfair, so two against two is fair."
At this moment, the girl extended her hand, and a cat carrying a bag suddenly appeared in her grasp.
"Spirit?!"
Seeing the appearance of the Half-Elf, the two robbers had already become timid. After uttering a few harsh words, they hurriedly fled along with their unconscious companion.
