Power Travels in the Multiverse

Chapter 3

Power Pov

-So Rom, when do you think Felt will get here? -I ask Rom, sitting on a bench and drinking a glass of whiskey.

-My supplier should get here around sunset because she must be running away from whoever she stole from.

-It was the girl behind me who she stole from.

-Either way, you're going to have to pay for what you want.

-But it's mine, it's not right for you to force me to pay for something that's mine.

-Sorry, but in this establishment we don't give discounts to the original owners of our goods.

-Relax, we'll sort this out when this Felt arrives.

When Subaru gets a little close to me, I end up frowning a little because of his smell. If I had to describe the witch's miasma, it would be like describing the smell of a word.

-Hey, I want to talk to you two outside, can you give me some of your time?

-Sure, What conversation would that be? -Subaru.

-Okay, I'm curious about that.

-Let's go outside first, then I'll talk.

-Excuse me. -I say, downing the last sip of the glass in my mouth and leaving.

-Okay, anyway I didn't expect new buyers to come for that item.

~Outside the bar~

-We're outside, so Power, what do you want to talk about? -Subaru asked as he left the bar.

-I know someone else who's going to come here to try to buy the coat of arms. And who's probably going to have a fight in the middle of the negotiation.

-Huh? -The two exclaim.

 -Following my reasoning, whoever comes to buy this knows very well where the product came from, so it's no wonder that if our negotiation ends up being the winning one, it could end in a fight.

-Looking at it that way... But that's important to me.

-Well, I don't know why you like that crest so much, but even if it could hurt me, I'll still have to help! -Subaru says.

-Hey, include me in this too.

-I'm a half-elf. Are you really going to help someone like me?

-Oh, no wonder I found you so pretty! Elves are always pretty, aren't they?

-Huh? What? Well, I mean... I'm half-elf...

-Yes, I heard.

-I judge people by their character, not their race.

 Suddenly Emilia crouches down, putting her hands on her head with her back to us, with the puck coming out of her hair and landing a punch that I can't even feel in my cheek, and finally hitting Subaru.

-Why did you do that?

-I needed to do something about the feeling I'm feeling! But I didn't punch you out of anger or anything like that. Quite the opposite, actually.

-Huh, you two are both idiots! -She says this while still crouching, turning to us, then standing up.

-Do you have a plan, Power?

-Hmmm, Puck, can you still stay summoned for a while longer?

-Hmm, I can, but soon I'll have to go back to the magic crystal.

-That's good. The plan is this: if a fight starts, I'll be the one who fights the person to hold them down while Puck casts his spells and Emilia covers me and Subaru... just try not to die.
