[Perspective: Noelle/Reid]

Reed and his companion are now in grave danger; Reed's speed has been severely reduced.

This slowed their escape, and Reed's injuries prevented him from engaging in prolonged combat.

To gain a slight increase in speed, part of the heel of Noelle's high heels was cut off.

This way, she won't have to walk on tiptoe like before. Noelle also stated that she doesn't like wearing high heels and only wears them for certain parties.

The streets are unusually lively now, with more and more soldiers appearing, and every resident is filled with anxiety.

All of this is the work of two desperate criminals, and now the noble district is in grave danger.

Once discovered, there's virtually no chance of escape, so their first goal is to flee the noble district.

The main goal is to escape Nevada; currently, we don't know where that god is or how to kill him.

So getting away from here is the best option. Those SA401 members might know, but it's impossible to get that information out of them...

The two decided to take a detour, or a narrow alley or other secluded place, preferably one that was completely deserted.

However, such dark alleys are rare in Guimin District to begin with, and although there are alleys, they are usually crowded with people.

Around the corner in front of them was a group of people who seemed to be making some kind of deal.

Reed didn't care what the other person was doing and strode out.

The two were in an alley, which was relatively quiet, probably because of the trash.

The group of people whispering in front saw it, and suddenly Reed appeared.

The moment Red appeared, the group pointed their fingers at him and yelled at him to get out of the way.

Reed hesitated for only a second, then summoned his greatsword and, amidst the opponent's terrified gaze, swung it down.

Noelle emerged from the corner; perhaps due to her experiences these past few days, she no longer frowned at the sight of a corpse.

Noelle looked at the corpse lying on the ground and felt a little guilty.

After all, the other person didn't seem to have done anything wrong; he just cursed a few times and then Reed killed him.

Noelle began questioning Reid, "Reid, could you... just not be so... violent?"

"These guys don't seem to have done anything, so why don't you just rush in and kill them?"

Reed crouched on the ground, stealing money from the corpse. After hearing Noelle's words, Reed was a little annoyed.

Reed wiped his blood off the clothes on the corpse and retorted, "I'm not a good person. Do you expect me to have a nice talk with them?"

"I can't, and I don't want to learn..." Reed said, putting the money he had collected into his pocket.

As Red put the money in his pocket, he was pricked by a hard object.

Red, puzzled, took out the thorny thing.

It was a necklace, Noelle's red diamond necklace, Reed had almost forgotten about it.

Noelle stared silently at the necklace Reed had taken out, instead turning her attention to the yellow papers that had fallen from the hands of the dead men.

Reed stared at the necklace in his hand and fell silent.

Reed began to think; he had already helped Noelle complete the task, but the promised reward hadn't been given yet.

Now she's dragging me to kill some damn god? Bringing this armless person along is obviously a burden.

He could simply abandon her and go kill that damned god.

……

……

(Never mind, she's smart, and she still owes me money.)

Reed's sudden bad behavior was covered up.

Reed dusted off his clothes and said to Noelle, who was squatting on the ground, "Hey, let's go."

Noelle awoke from her reverie of reading, stood up, and began to follow Reed.

Noelle said as she walked, "I just looked at those papers scattered on the ground; they were actually transport items."

Reed interrupted, seemingly unwilling to hear, "This has nothing to do with us."

Noelle angrily shoved Reid when he interrupted her, and continued, "Those transported items are prohibited!"

"Prohibited Items" is a general term used in this other world to refer to illegal items—those that cannot be purchased through normal channels and are prohibited due to their terrifying nature, side effects, or other harmful properties.

Reed became somewhat interested and chose to continue listening.

Noelle continued, "That is, at four o'clock this afternoon, a carriage carrying a shipment will be delivered from the commoners' district to the nobles' district."

"The prohibited items they were transporting were some medicines."

Reed asked, "It's just a potion, why is it banned? I remember those soldiers threw some poisonous liquid at me."

Noelle hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to.

But Noelle finally mustered the courage to say, "This potion is really weird and disgusting..."

Reed said he didn't care.

Noelle took a deep breath and then slowly said, "It's a transformation potion, and its refining material is genitalia..."

Reed paused for a second and said, "Huh? Biological?"

Noelle nodded, but she looked unwell, as if she felt like vomiting.

Reed wanted to keep listening, but then he realized Noelle had stopped talking.

"and then?"

Noelle shook her head to indicate that there was nothing more. Conrad looked confused, so Noelle gave him a hint: "What I just mentioned was [Transformation Potion]... which is, transformation..."

Reid, reminded by Noelle, suddenly realized what the potion's effects were.

"Is it a change throughout the whole body? Including the heart, intestines, and ears?"

Noelle frowned and nodded, then added, fearing Reed might ask further, "Gender and type are not differentiated, and the materials are the same..."

Noelle's face darkened. She tried to stop thinking about it, but images were already flashing through her mind.

Noelle was in terrible pain; it was even more disgusting than being cleaved in two...

Reed didn't seem to mind, and even chuckled inwardly at his own mischievousness.

(It seems this world is just as perverted as the city, but far less chaotic. However, this kind of twisted sense of humor... the city really doesn't have it.)

(At least not in the city yet. It is indeed a bit disgusting to think about, but it is comparable to the anomalies I used to manage at the company... especially that strip of flesh...)

(Hehe, I guess it'll be fine if I think about it~)

Reid began to recall what Noelle had just said, and then came up with a way to escape the noble district.

Reed, feeling unusually clever, began to explain his solution.

"You just said that a carriage carrying medicine would enter the noble district at four o'clock this afternoon, right?"

"We'll figure out a way to steal the carriage then, and luckily there's some potion on it that can hold off those pursuers."

Uh... that does seem like a good idea, it's just disgusting...

Noel immediately rejected Reed's suggestion, saying, "What?! Your suggestion just reminds me of an even more disgusting scenario!"

"And this method is disgusting! And let me remind you again! The potion works instantly!"

"What if we accidentally come into contact with the potion?! The drivers transporting the potion are all elite!"

"Besides, judging from your appearance, you obviously can't ride a horse! Furthermore, using these potions as weapons or something, that scene would be too disgusting!"

Reed listened to Noelle's long-winded explanation without seeming bothered, even saying, "That's good, it should scare those people away."

(‵□′) "What's so good about it! It's disgusting!"

Reed continued, "What other options do you have? Besides, you can close your eyes even without hands; it's not like I'm asking you to do these things."

"Besides, the driver would have taken precautions when transporting such dangerous medicine, wouldn't he?"

After mentally preparing herself many times, Noelle finally agreed with a dark expression.

And along the way, Red had to take a lot of old clothes to wrap himself in.
