Chapter 4: He remembers
"Emilia. My name is Emilia." She said with a small smile
"Emilia huh, that's a name." Subaru said with a smile
"Since we have all introduce out self's let's get going so we can get your stolen item" Subaru said with a smile as he walked off in direction of the loot house
**********************************************************************************************************
"So this is the loot house." Emilia said
"Yep." Subaru said
Subaru then when up to the door and knocked on it after a second he heard a voice
"Whats the password." A deep voice said
"Don't know but were here to buy so can you let us in." Subaru said
"Tsk." the man clicked his tongue and opened the door. And Subaru and Emilia when inside
"Thanks, is Felt here?" Subaru asked
"Ya, why she got something you wont?" The man said
"Ya she dose." Subaru said as he went to a table with Emilia an sat down
"Hey! Felt you got customers!" The old man yelled and when to sit at the table that Subaru and Emilia were at
"Ya got it!" Felt yelled and walked out to were the two were sitting, but stopped when she saw Emilia
"It's you! What are you doing here!" Felt yelled. And before any one else could say a thing Subaru started talking
"Calm down we not here to fight if that's what your thinking we're just here to buy what you stole for this girl here." Subaru said as he pointed at Emilia
"Tsk, fine how much are you offering." Felt said
"Well i don't have any money on me but i do have something that is worth money." Subaru said as he pulled out his phone from his pocket
"The hell is that?" Felt asked
"This here is a device that can store a piece of time in it when used, like this." Subaru said as he took a photo of the two
"Whoa! Hey! What was that sound?! And that was too bright!" Felt cried
"Are you trying to kill me?! Don't you go makin' light of the old man with dodgy tricks like that!" The old man said
"Now, hold on." Subaru said and shows the two their pictures on his phone
"Is this..."
"Them's me and felts daces. What sort of magic is that?" The old man asked
"I told you, it's a item that can freeze a moment in time and then store it." Subaru said
"I see! That is amazing!" Felt said
"Never seen the like, is that one of the "metia" i've been hearing about lately?" The old man asked
"Metia?" Subaru asked
"It's the name for devices that lets the people who haven't opened the gate use magic, like real magic users." The old man said
"I'm more concerned with the price. What can i get out of the metia?" Felt asked
"Well, it's my first time using a emtia, too. But I'd say there's no doubt it' fetch more than that insignia." the old man said
"Then that settles it. This cell phone for the insignia." Subaru said
"Nope.Not yet, you're not the only one I'm negotiating with for this. Besides, i nabbed this insignia because i was asked to. My client told me i could get ten holy coins for it." Felt said
"You already had a deal with the one you stole it for? i don't know what the holy coins would be worth, but..." Subaru uttered
"That metia you've got would be worth at least twenty holy coins... No, there are probably fanciers out there who'd pay more for a thing like that." The old man said
"Really?! That means i can get away with overcharging for it!" Felt said
"So, when and where are you meeting your client?" Subaru asked
"Don't worry, negotiations will be held here. If a little thing like me dealt with them alone, I'd be sunk if a client decided to bail on me, But i don't have to worry with Old Man Rom here." Felt said , but then they heard a knock on the door
"Do they know the password?" Old Man Rom asked
"Oh , i didn't mention it. That's probably for me. I'll go check." Felt said and now heads to the door. Felt now opens the door and brings them in with her
"I was right it was for me. Care to sit down?" Felt asked
"There seem t be several outsiders here." A woman said
"well, I'd be in trouble if you bailed on me. We weaklings have out own brand of smarts." Felt said
"I know this older fellow, but who's the young man and woman?" The woman asked
"These two are your rival's. there the other person negotiating with me." Felt said while Subaru stared at the woman wary of her
"I see. I understand the situation now." The woman said
"So that means you two will be bidding against each other. I don't really care who gets the insignia, so I'll sell it to the highest bidder." Felt said
"I think i like that personality of yours. So how much did these two bid?" The woman asked
"I'm putting up this metia. It's a rare item, probably the only one of its kind in this world. That old man tells me it's worth no less than twenty holy coins." Subaru said
"A metia... As it happens, the client sent me some extra funds. just so I'd be prepared to sweeten the deal." The woman said
"the client... So you were asked to fetch it?" Subaru asked
"that's right. The client is the one who wants it. would you happen to be in the same business?" The woman asked
"No I'm doing this for my own reasons." Subaru said as he shook his head
"So the guy has named a price that puts him far in the lead. What price is your master putting on it? Felt asked. The woman then grabbed a b filled with twenty holy coins and this made them shocked. Old Man Rom garbed the bag and when to count it
"Twenty exactly." Old Man Rom said
"These are all the holy coins my employer sent with me. Is it not quit enough?" The woman asked
"As for what i see right know it is the boys victory as his metai is worth no less than twenty. Sorry for you and your employer, but you'd better bag up those coins and leave." Old Man Rom said
"Uh, sorry Elsa-san. You'll probably get in trouble, huh?" Subaru asked
"It can't be helped. It was my employer's fault for trying to underpay. Well, this deal ended in disappointment for me, but I'll be taking me leave now." The woman know to be Elsa said
"By The way, what do you intend to do with that insignia?" Elsa asked
"I'm going to give it back to someone." Subaru replied
"Oh... You're with them, then?" Elsa asked with a menacing face. Subaru then put up a wall of shadows between them to try and block the attack Elsa just made. But the wall was not strong enough and he was stabbed in the arm. Subaru then jumped away and held his arm
"W-Why!" Subaru yelled
"Oh, my. Your stronger than i thought." Elsa said while raising her blade. just then Old Man Rom and Emilia attacked Elsa Old Man Rom swinging his huge club at her in Emilia shooting spears of ice at her, but it was not affective as Elsa dodges both of the attacks she then bolted to Subaru
"Your the one i have to worry about the most so that means your fist." Elsa said as she went to cut Subaru's head off
"Shit!" Subaru created a dagger and went to block the strike but as soon as Elsa's blade meet with his, his blade broke making Elsa's strike hit. Then ever thing went dark for Subaru
We now see Subaru in front of the appa stand
"What's the matter, boy? You look like you saw a ghost." The man said
"Oh... I'm fine sorry about that." Subaru said as he walked away from the stand
"This makes it the second time i died... man i really don't wont to make it three time" Subaru uttered. While he was talking to him self he had ran into someone
" Ah sorry about that" Subaru said as he looked at who he ran in too
"it's quite alright, huh it you again this would be the second time we meet like this" The man said as he chuckled
"What... He remembers me!?"
