A short person who didn't even reach the tall guy's waist, or to be more precise, could be considered a dwarf.
Looking at this distinctive trio, Subaru scratched his face and looked at Gojo beside him.
"We triggered a forced battle for no reason. Gojo, you should be able to handle it..."
"Ah, as long as you don't hurt us, we'll do whatever you want."
"It's completely fine even if you beat me up."
Gojo ignored Subaru's words, instead pretending to be scared and wriggling around exaggeratedly.
"..."
"What do you mean 'beat me up'? Shouldn't you be the one to coolly go up and take care of them at a time like this?!"
"Eh?"
"Is that so? But I saw that you seemed very disappointed earlier, so I said I was prepared to give this opportunity to show off to you."
"Huh? You want me, an ordinary high school student, to deal with these three guys? I don't have any abilities at all."
"What if it gets triggered during the battle? According to your theory, don't those protagonists and such break through their limits when they are on the verge of death?"
"Who intentionally lets their companion get on the verge of death? Besides, aren't I a supporting character?"
The trio watched the two people who had started bickering in front of them and exchanged glances.
The tallest and most burly one, Gaston, muttered: "Do these guys have something wrong with their brains?"
"They're just chattering away about things we don't understand, completely ignoring us!"
The dwarf-like Hanbali said with a look of annoyance.
As for the thin, silver-gray-haired youth in the middle, he was more direct compared to his two companions.
He walked straight toward Gojo and the other, looking impatient.
"I'm telling you two, can you not understand human language..."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Move aside, you guys in front! Don't block the road!"
A crisp voice rang out abruptly in the alley.
The trio instinctively turned their heads and saw a petite girl with golden hair and a neat outfit running toward them at an extremely fast speed.
Who else could it be but Felt, who had previously met Gojo once.
"Good opportunity!"
Seeing the silver-gray-haired youth turn his head, Subaru's eyes lit up. He lunged forward and threw a punch hard at the other person's cheek.
Although he had been bickering with Gojo just now.
There was one thing that did excite him.
That was, perhaps he really could activate some special ability during the battle.
And with Gojo by his side, surely he wouldn't get beaten too badly?
If he wanted to become a hero who defeats the Demon King, he couldn't do it without undergoing the baptism of battle!
The silver-gray-haired youth, caught off guard, was knocked to the ground by Subaru's punch.
"Lajens!"
Seeing this, Hanbali shouted and hurriedly ran forward.
"Hiss, the action of force is indeed mutual; that really hurt."
"However, my strength seems pretty good."
Having landed a hit, Subaru didn't rush in blindly, but shook his hand and said with some self-satisfaction.
On the ground.
The knocked-down Lajens stood up with Hanbali's help. His face was gloomy, and his already sinister expression looked even colder.
"I told you, don't call my name while working!"
Lajens said irritably, then pushed Hanbali away.
Immediately, he reached for his lower back as if grabbing something.
When his hands appeared in front of Subaru again, two gleaming daggers were in his grasp.
Subaru, who had been somewhat smug just a moment ago, saw the daggers, and his expression instantly froze.
Then, he took a sudden step back, just as he had done when stepping forward, and returned to Gojo's side, whispering.
"Shouldn't we run away now?"
"The escape option seems to depend on probability, right?"
"This isn't an RPG! We just need to run to a place with lots of people, right?"
Subaru said nervously.
While they were talking, the girl who had rushed into the alley behind the trio was getting closer and closer to them.
Seeing that the trio had no intention of moving out of the way.
Felt had no choice but to speed up. She stepped hard on the right wall, and then, with agile movements, as if defying gravity, she jumped onto the left wall.
Stepping left and right twice in succession.
She vaulted directly over the trio like a light butterfly, leaving Subaru stunned.
"Geez, don't you know you're in the way?"
Felt said irritably in mid-air; if she weren't in a rush, she would really want to say a few more words.
But just as Felt was preparing to rush out of the alley and shake off the pursuers behind her.
Unexpectedly, just after passing the three, she saw a figure in the alley that left a deep impression on her.
It was the guy who didn't let her steal anything yesterday and instead took the coins she had!
That white hair—she would never forget it!
Although the candy he gave her later was quite delicious.
But that was definitely not a reason to forgive him; that was three whole silver coins!
Even if she finished this job today, she would only gain twenty holy gold coins.
But thinking back to those three silver coins, it still hurt her heart.
"It's you!"
Felt glared at Gojo with some annoyance.
At the same time, she quickly understood the situation in the alley; it seemed the guys who robbed her yesterday were in trouble.
"Hey, you three, do your best, don't let anyone look down on you!"
Felt said, gloating.
Robbing her yesterday, getting robbed today.
It really is karma.
But just thinking about the money that was about to be taken away—money that originally belonged to her—Felt Felt a pang of pain in her heart for no reason.
"Yo."
"Isn't this that person from yesterday?"
"Didn't expect we'd meet again."
Hearing Felt's words, Gojo wasn't the least bit angry.
On the contrary, he even smiled and waved his hand towards Felt, greeting her at this moment.
"I certainly didn't want to meet you!"
"Get taught a lesson properly; if you don't want to end up too miserable, just hand over the money honestly..."
Felt pouted and quickened her pace.
However, just as she passed over Gojo, she heard the other party's voice from beneath her feet.
"Leaving without catching up? That's truly disappointing."
The moment those words rang out, Felt Felt a sudden loss of weight and then tumbled downwards.
She looked down and saw an infuriating scene.
That annoying white-haired guy was currently gripping her ankle, a hateful smile on his face.
