"Talking"

*Early Afternoon - Alleyway*

???: "That's enough."

The voice caught Y/N and Subaru's attention. The voice appears to come from a beautiful young elf girl with silver hair.

Elf Girl: "Stop now and I'll let this slide. So just graciously give back what you stole."

Subaru: "What?"

Elf Girl: "The insignia that you stole. Give it back, please. Its important to me."

Y/N: "We did not steal anything from you, girl."

Elf girl: "Don't move."

The elf girl continued to stare down the two. Y/N unfazed by her while Subaru has a beaming expression and looked away from her gaze.

Elf girl: "See? You averted your eyes because you have a guilty conscience! Looks like my judgement was spot-on."

The elf girl approached Subaru and stared down at him who has a glowing cheeks.

Elf girl: "You know who stole my insignia from me, don't you?"

Subaru: "Uh, sorry, but I don't have the slightest idea."

Elf girl: "What? Wait it can't be. Did I really just come around the long way? Uhh... Puck help me!"

A small floating Cat appeared besides the girl. Puck caught Y/N's attention.

Y/N: 'That's interesting...'

Puck: "Well, I don't know where our thief is but I'm sure you can find her, Lia."

Subaru seeing this as a chance stood up taking a large breath.

Subaru: "You should probably hurry after her, miss. I could help."

Elf girl: "I'll have to decline your help, sorry. But thanks for asking."

The elf girl continues to leave them. Subaru still wanting to go with the elf girl turned to Y/N.

Subaru: "Hey man, can you help me convince her? I'll answer that question you have if you help me!"

Subaru was now forcing Y/N, who was listening in on the exchange. If he wants his question answered, he has to do what Subaru wants.

Y/N closes his eyes with a sharp tone.

Y/N: "Fine."

He approaches the elf girl with wide steps.

Y/N: "Hey, girl."

Reaching out to the elf girl which prompted the latter to turn around.

Elf girl: "Huh? What is it?"

Y/N: "I saw the thief you are looking for."

Elf girl: "Really? Tell me, please."

Y/N: "I'll tell you, if you let that man help you."

He points at Subaru indicating that Subaru wants to go along with them. The elf girl turns to the spirit for confirmation.

Puck: "I don't sense any malice from him, you can trust him, Lia."

'Lia' turns to Y/N still a bit hesitant. But she accepts it nonetheless.

Elf girl: "Fine, I'll let you two help me."

Y/N: "But I didn't-

Subaru: "C'mon! You should help us. You won't get to answer that question if you don't help us"

Y/N narrows his eyes as he then closes it with a heavy sigh.

Y/N: "Fine."

Subaru: "Yes! Thank you!"

The elf girl continues her search as both Subaru and Y/N follows her.

*Timeskip - Mid-Afternoon*

Subaru and the elf girl have went around and asked the locals but there was no results. Y/N only followed along observing on the back.

The three of them are now resting on a high terrace bridge overseeing the kingdom.

Puck: "You know we haven't introduced ourselves yet."

Subaru: "Okay, I'll start with myself. My name is Natsuki Subaru not only am I clueless, I'm also broke beyond compare! Nice to meet ya!"

The elf girl laughs at this while Y/N remains expressionless.

Puck: "And my name is Puck, nice to meet you!"

Puck dashes at Subaru's hand which he landed on to shake hands.

Y/N: "I'm Dracule Y/N, you can call me Y/N."

Elf girl: "It's very unusual to see someone who can touch a spirit so casually."

Subaru: "Now that we know your cat's name, we haven't heard yours yet."

Elf girl: "My name?"

Subaru: "Yeah."

The elf girl pauses with a fidgety expression.

Elf girl: "I'm..."

The elf girl looks away before turning back and sighing.

Elf girl: "Satella... I have no family name. You can just call me Satella"

Y/N: "Your lying."

Elf girl: "W-What? My name is really Satella."

Y/N: "Flying cat here calls you 'Lia' which I assume to be a nickname for a longer name which doesn't come in line with Satella."

Puck: "Hey, I have a name you know, and it's Puck! Not flying cat!"

'Lia' giggles as she does a heavy sigh while lowering her gaze.

Elf girl: "Fine, you got me... My real name is Emilia."

Subaru: "I see, Emilia... What a nice name!"

Emilia stiffened with widened eyes, she smiled with a radiating visage. This made Subaru part his lips before closing his eyes savoring the experience he saw today.

Emilia: "Anyways, we should go and find my insignia."

Meanwhile, Y/N was staring at the whole kingdom before him. Using his Ken Haki to see farther and look for the blonde-haired girl, he saw that the girl enters an old shack.

Y/N: "I have found her."

Emilia: "You did?"

Subaru: "Huh? How the heck?! How can you see the thief at this distance?!"

Subaru points at the wide view of the kingdom before them.

Y/N: "I have an excellent eye sight. For now follow me if you want to get your insignia."

Y/N proceeds to walk away without waiting for their response. Emilia seeing this followed after.

Subaru: "W-Wait for me!"

Subaru ran after them.

*Timeskip - Mid-Afternoon - Poor District*

The group arrived to a place where the poor people live. It was a sight to behold seeing so many dirty and poor people wasting their lives in an unhygienic place.

Subaru: "Hey, uhh... Y/N-san."

Y/N: "Hm?"

Subaru: "Are you sure this is the place where the thief went?"

Y/N: "My eyes do not fail me."

Subaru: "Oh... I-I see..."

The trio continues to travel until they reach the old shack that Y/N saw with his incredible eye sight.

*Mid-Afternoon - Loot House*

Y/N and the two reaches the old Shack as the three just stares at the entrance.

Y/N: "This is it."

Subaru: "So your saying that the thief that stole Emilia's insignia is here?"

Emilia: "Then we should enter it right away."

Emilia approaches the door with a glare. Subaru reaches out his hand.

Subaru: "W-Wait, Emilia!"

Ignoring Subaru's call, Emilia knocks on the door.

???: "Coming!"

With fast steps, the door opens, with the same girl from the alley that Subaru met a while ago.

The girl looks at Emilia with a smile before yelping with wide eyes.

Blonde girl: "E-EH?! You again?!"

Emilia: "Give back what you stole from me and then I will forgive your actions."

Blonde girl: "No way!"

Emilia and the two enters the shack. Seeing a towering man behind the counter, cleaning a glass cup.

Blonde girl: "You never quit, do you? I'm telling you, just give up already!"

Emilia: "Sorry, but this is something I cannot give up on. If you do as I say, I won't hurt you."

Then Emilia conjures shards of ice with her magic. This made Y/N widens his eyes, seeing magic for the first time. Meanwhile, Subaru became still while a rapid blinking before staring at it with open eyes.

Y/N: ' Is she a devil fruit user? No, this is a different world. The same rules may not apply here.'

Emilia: "I have only one demand. Return my insignia. It's very important to me."

With a darting gaze, the giant man spoke.

Giant: "If she were just another magic user, I wouldn't back down, but this one's trouble."

Blonde girl: "What's with you, Old Man Rom? You're admitting defeat before we even fight?"

The giant man named Rom spoke again with a fixed stare to Emilia.

Rom: "Young lady, you're an elf, ain't ya?"

Silence took over as no words were spoken. Emilia does a sigh.

Emilia: "Not exactly. I'm only a half-elf."

Blonde girl: "A half-elf? And with silver hair... Wait, are you..."

Emilia: "It's an accidental resemblance! It causes a lot of trouble for me, in fact."

Y/N: "What's so special about it?"

They all turned to Y/N, staring at him with a blank look.

Y/N: "I'm asking."

Rom: "Well, half-elves with silver hair resembles the... Witch of Envy."

Y/N raised his eyebrows while Rom scans Y/N. Rom felt the aura that Y/N radiates with. The aura of a powerful individual.

Rom: "Your a pretty strong one, ain't ya?"

Y/N astounded by his intuition.

Y/N: "I guess so."

Then, Y/N sees a vision of an attack behind Emilia with his ken haki. Y/N pulls out Yoru and attacks the aggressor with a swift and gentle slash. The attack hit the assailant as her arm holding the blade got sliced off, she jumps back.

???: "Oh my~, your quite powerful."

Everyone's processing what happened before realizing that someone attacked them.

Felt: "Wait, your my client right? Why are you attacking us! That wasn't part of the deal!"

???: "Since the owner of the item is here, we cannot continue on with this deal."

The assailant seems to be a black-haired girl. Y/N stares at her with a serious face as he saw the arm that got sliced off regenerated back.

Y/N: 'That's quite annoying to deal with.'

Y/N: "Subaru, Emilia, stand back."

Emilia: "Me and Puck can help!"

Puck appears besides Emilia with a smile and serious face.

Y/N: "Then protect everyone else from getting hurt."

With a pensive expression, Emilia looked back to back between the others and Y/N.

Emilia: "Fine, but be careful!"

Subaru: "Kick her ass!"

Y/N still gazing at them with an expressionless face, he turns his eyes to the enemy in-front.

Y/N: "I suppose..."

Y/N brandishes his Yoru.

Y/N: "...That you are quite skilled with your blade, right?"
