Re:Zero World!
Marquis Mathers's Mansion.
"What is it? Why did you call me over?"
Ayato stepped out of the magic circle, putting on his jacket.
He couldn't help but marvel.
The timing was perfect.
He had just finished disciplining Miko.
"Master, we have news on the person you asked me to find."
Elsa came forward, hugging Ayato's arm. "So I contacted you immediately."
"You did the right thing."
Ayato smiled. "Tell me. Who is the person found?"
"Anastasia Hoshin."
"Where?"
"Her city. The magical coordinates have been set."
"Good. Let's go."
Free Trade City, Kararagi.
In a corner of the city.
Ayato and the others emerged from the light.
"So this is the city known as the most free trade city in the whole world?"
Emilia looked around and smiled. "I've wanted to come here for a long time."
Rem said, "Mm, mm. Rem is also very curious."
Ram said, "It's said there are many rare goods here."
Melli said, "Even some rare magical beasts are sold here."
Watching the chattering women, Ayato smiled. "In that case, feel free to move around."
"Hooray for Master!"
"Thank you, Master."
Amidst cheers, Emilia and the others had already run off.
"Those girls."
Ayato shook his head and looked at Elsa. "What, aren't you going to look around?"
"I still haven't given you the information yet."
Elsa chuckled, took a piece of paper from her pocket, and said, "Here, Master. During this time period, Anastasia should be at this location."
After Elsa left, Ayato looked at it.
The paper only had an address.
Fortunately, it wasn't far from here.
After asking a few people, Ayato successfully found a café.
He walked in.
Immediately, in a corner, he saw a beautiful girl with a scarf and soft, light purple long hair.
Yes, it was indeed her.
It seemed that during this time period...
She had not yet been discovered as a royal election candidate.
Without hesitation.
Ayato walked towards Anastasia.
"Hmm?"
Anastasia, who had just raised her coffee cup, was startled, already noticing Ayato's arrival.
Mm, very handsome.
She nodded slightly.
But unfortunately, she had no intention of dating.
As Ayato approached, she spoke, "Don't bother trying to pick me up. I'm very busy right now."
Ayato: "..."
A very familiar sense of déjà vu.
Although he was indeed a pervert...
Why did everyone think he was trying to pick them up?
Sensing the complex look in Ayato's eyes, Anastasia blinked.
Had she judged incorrectly?
Could it be that the other had come to discuss business?
If so, that would be too embarrassing.
Just as Anastasia was pondering her words to backtrack, Ayato spoke:
"Actually, you were right. I am indeed trying to pick you up."
"Ah?"
Anastasia's eyelids twitched.
Good grief.
Then what was that expression you had just now for?
"But it's also related to a business deal."
"Oh, this is getting interesting."
Anastasia rested her chin on one hand and lightly snapped her fingers. "Bring this gentleman a cup of coffee. Put it on my tab."
She looked at Ayato and smiled. "So, what kind of business deal do you want to discuss with me?"
Ayato's gaze was deep as he stared into her eyes. "It concerns a business involving several worlds."
"???"
Anastasia's face was full of question marks.
Was there something wrong with this man?
Saying such unclear things?
Never mind. It seemed like a waste of time.
"Um, I suddenly remembered I have some unfinished business."
Ayato: "..."
"If I were you, I'd come up with a more sincere excuse."
"You're the one who started joking with me first."
Anastasia said righteously. "If you really want to do business, you shouldn't say such insincere things."
"I'm telling the truth."
"After all, I already have several worlds under my control."
"Ha?"
Anastasia's eyes widened. She said helplessly, "Sorry, my time is really valuable."
"Since you still don't believe me, let me show you another world."
Anastasia was stunned, looking suspicious. "You're serious?"
Although she was doubtful in her heart...
The other spoke with such conviction, it didn't seem like he was lying.
"Naturally."
Ayato snapped his fingers.
A magic circle flashed.
Ayato and Anastasia's figures had disappeared.
One Punch Man world.
Anastasia looked at the surrounding streets, her expression dazed.
Transportation she had never seen before.
It truly was another world.
"Don't blink. This is just the beginning."
