One Unacquainted with Fear

By the time Fang Li and his group emerged from the Thieves' Den, it was completely dark.

"Mmm~~~"

Subaru Natsuki stretched and said with a refreshed expression, "So, this counts as a Happy End?"

Seeing Subaru Natsuki say those words with a voice full of great satisfaction, Reinhard couldn't help but interject.

"I don't know what this 'Happy_End' means, but Subaru, why are you talking like you solved this problem yourself?"

"Can't I just immerse myself in this feeling for a little while?!" Subaru Natsuki was immediately brought back to reality and yelled at Reinhard, "I know I haven't done anything useful, I don't need you to remind me!"

"Don't be angry, my friend. If conditions permit, I wouldn't mind lending you my power." Reinhard didn't mind Subaru Natsuki's bad attitude and said with a smile, "Although it's a small amount, it would be best if it could be of any help."

Upon hearing this, even Fang Li couldn't help but complain.

"If your strength is considered meager, then everyone in this world must be a useless chicken bone."

After all, Reinhard is known as the Strongest on Earth, and can be considered truly invincible in this world.

The more than forty buffs it possesses are, frankly, like having forty cheat codes activated; it's the perfect embodiment of the term "cheater."

If the Witch of Envy, who devoured half of the world 400 years ago, were still alive, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Reinhard. At most, she would only be able to fight Reinhard to a draw.

If Reinhard were to get serious, he could probably turn the surrounding area into ruins with a single sword strike.

If it weren't for this level of skill, Fang Li wouldn't have openly admitted that he couldn't beat Reinhard.

Even if one uses the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, along with the power of the Holy Mark, and goes all out in a truly meaningful way, there is almost no chance of winning.

Therefore, this knight is truly unsolvable.

This seemingly unsolvable being was now speaking to Fang Li and Subaru Natsuki with an air of familiarity, asking, "What are your plans for the next two days?"

"Need I say more?" Subaru Natsuki gave Reinhard a thumbs-up without hesitation, revealing his gleaming teeth, and said, "Of course, it's the conventional way of life: using modern knowledge to thrive in this Other World!"

"Modern knowledge? Other World?" Reinhard was somewhat confused.

"You'd better not take his words to heart, otherwise, even if you had ten brains, it wouldn't be enough," Fang Li warned. "If you're invincible in terms of strength, then this guy is invincible in terms of imagination. In this area, you can't beat him no matter what. Just give up."

"Is that so?" Reinhard said admiringly, "Truly worthy of being my dear friend, far beyond my reach."

"...So..." Subaru Natsuki became a little embarrassed and said as if he couldn't stand it, "At times like this, you can just ignore me like those aloof pretty girls. I get shy when you praise me so frankly!"

Fang Li couldn't help but laugh as he watched Reinhard and Subaru Natsuki interact.

Just then, a voice called out to them.

"That..."

His voice was full of hesitation, as if he were struggling a lot.

Fang Li, Subaru Natsuki, and Reinhard were all slightly taken aback and turned to look over.

There, Emilia also seemed to have emerged from the Thieves' Den, her mouth agape, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.

"Emilia." Reinhard immediately knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully like a knight, and asked Emilia, "What are your orders?"

"No..." Emilia shook her head, glanced at Fang Li, stole a look at Fang Li, and said in a low voice with a hesitant expression, "I came to thank you."

In other words, Emilia came here to find Fang Li.

"Another... another triggered event?" Subaru Natsuki stood there dumbfounded, then burst out, "Why am I not included again?!"

"Your share?" Emilia looked at Subaru Natsuki with some doubt and said directly, "It wasn't you who repelled the assassins who were trying to harm me. You were just watching from the sidelines. I have no reason to thank you, do I?"

"Ouch!" Subaru Natsuki clutched his chest as if Satonaka with an arrow, and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Fang Li ignored Subaru Natsuki again and looked at Emilia instead.

However, Emilia's eyes remained somewhat evasive, and she dared not look Fang Li.

Fang Li knew why.

Emilia probably thinks that her appearance and race are exactly the same as the legendary, taboo witch, which would definitely cause fear and scare others, leading to her being ostracized.

After all, Emilia has experienced this kind of thing countless times before.

Emilia believes that Fang Li's attitude towards her should also change.

If she could, Emilia Fang Li.

It's not for any other reason than that I don't want to deliberately get close to someone who is afraid of me and cause them fear.

In short, it's because I'm afraid of scaring others.

Moreover, in Emilia's opinion, Fang Li probably doesn't want to be around her or even talk to her, right?

That's why Emilia is so hesitant and evasive.

However, Emilia to thank them for what had just happened.

Therefore, Emilia still came.

Seeing that Emilia Li pursed his Fang Li and said this.

"If you want to express your gratitude, then not acknowledging your benefactor is not something to be praised."

"...I know." Emilia then raised her head and looked at Fang Li.

Emilia was immediately stunned.

Emilia only realized this now.

In Fang Li's eyes, there was absolutely no rejection of him.

"You..." Emilia couldn't help but speak.

However, before Emilia could speak, Fang Li interrupted her directly.

"I know what you're thinking, but don't ask me questions like 'why'."

Fang Li turned around and looked at the night view in the sky as if he were describing something extremely ordinary.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Li said this.

"This is just my natural personality. I'm not even afraid of death, let alone a taboo witch."

"Perhaps I'm destined to be One Unacquainted with Fear my entire life?"
