Regarding Gojo's inquiries, Subaru was very honest and answered almost everything he was asked.
Some information about himself was quickly made known to Gojo.
However, after asking a few questions, Gojo fell into deep thought.
Because.
He had discovered something.
That was.
Although both he and Subaru came from a country called Japan, and there were places like Tokyo and Hokkaido,
there were still many things that were not the same within it.
This difference was not a regional variation, but a huge, stark contrast; even some historical events were completely different.
And this meant there was only one possibility.
That was that the Japan Subaru came from was not the same place as the Japan he came from.
Furthermore, the times from which they transmigrated did not match up at all.
The time before he transmigrated was 2006, while Subaru was from 2016.
The span in between was a full ten years.
All of this truly refreshed Gojo's worldview.
At the same time, he became increasingly curious about the "System" that had brought him and Subaru to this world.
To be able to manipulate even time was truly exaggerated.
It was simply like opening the door to a new world.
While thinking, Gojo was quickly eating the berry cake in front of him.
When racking his brain, sweets were the most effective way to replenish energy.
"Excuse me, one more berry cake!"
"Add another berry cake!"
"Could I have another one, please..."
Subaru, sitting opposite Gojo, watched his companion as the spoon in his hand moved incessantly, devouring one cake after another, and couldn't help but complain.
"Gojo, did you not eat breakfast?"
"Of course I did."
Gojo said without even raising his head, appearing completely immersed in enjoying the dessert before him.
"But you've already eaten several berry cakes."
"Haven't you heard the saying that dessert goes into a different stomach?"
"It's weird that such a saying even exists."
Not long after, having eaten the last bite of cake in front of him, Gojo stopped.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue eating this sweet cake; it was just that the remaining silver coin he had gotten from Reinhardt yesterday had already been spent.
The small plates in front of him were stacked quite high.
"Whew, I'm full. Let's go for a walk."
"Sitting around after eating is not good for your health."
Gojo stood up, stretched his body, and extended an invitation to Subaru.
Leaving the cake shop, Subaru scratched his cheek.
"Gojo, is it really okay for us to just do nothing like this?"
"Then tell me, what should we be doing?"
Gojo said casually, walking with a light step.
"Like what's written in light novels, forming a party to become mercenaries or something."
"I had already been to the tavern before you arrived; there were no missions or anything like that posted, just a bunch of demi-humans spitting at you."
"And I didn't see anything like a quest board, or a place for wanted posters..."
As the two were talking, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from the street nearby.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a child on the road who seemed to have tripped and was crying.
Not far away, a carriage pulled by a lizard of this world known as an Earth Dragon was speeding towards them.
At this speed.
Even if the coachman wanted to brake urgently, the inertia would cause it to run directly over the child.
"This... could this be the event that triggers my special ability?!"
Since arriving in this world, he had been living such a mundane life that it didn't even feel like he had transmigrated.
Right now.
Seeing such a critical moment, Subaru's mind suddenly became active.
After all, in the novels he read, such scenes often occurred where the protagonist would unleash their potential due to certain events and then possess unimaginable power.
"Alright!"
"Leave it to me, let me save them!"
Subaru shouted loudly, waved his hand, knelt on one knee, and then reached his hand out toward the child on the street.
Never mind the movement, the momentum was quite good.
"Oh?"
"Partner, don't forget about me!"
"Let's have this world witness our talent together!"
Just as Subaru struck a pose, Gojo, standing to the side, seemed to have discovered something interesting.
He also unhesitatingly went behind him and stood sideways.
One hand kept the pose of lightly pushing up his Sunglasses, while the other hand also reached out toward the child on the street.
The two stood together.
On this busy street, at this critical moment, they looked just like a pair of weirdos who didn't know how to read the room!
But at this moment, hardly anyone paid attention to them; everyone's attention was on the child's safety.
Just at such a critical time.
Subaru suddenly saw the child who had originally fallen to the ground shake slightly.
Then, under everyone's gaze, it was as if the child was lifted by some inexplicable force and flew rapidly in the direction of Subaru and Gojo.
"Gasp!"
Seeing such a scene, the people around all subconsciously let out exclamations.
And for Subaru, at this very moment, he was almost bursting with excitement!
"Success!"
"I did it!"
"Gojo, did you see that!"
"This really is a magic activation event!!!"
Subaru shouted excitedly, and the plastic bag in his hand also made a "rustling" sound along with his movements.
The lifted child flew toward the roadside, narrowly avoiding the speeding dragon carriage at the critical moment, and arrived at the side of the road.
Watching the child get closer and closer, the excitement in Subaru's eyes grew even more intense; he even tossed the plastic bag aside, preparing to catch the child in his arms with the most gentle posture.
He had even already thought of the celebration pose afterward.
At that time, the people around would definitely cheer for his performance!
Just when Subaru was ready to welcome all of this.
The child had already arrived in front of him.
Subaru reached out.
But the child did not stop, still flying.
It went right past him and headed toward the back.
"Eh?"
Subaru watched the child move past him, and he was completely stunned.
He blankly looked at his own hand, even waving it tentatively.
Attempting to pull the child back through the air, but it was completely useless.
Everything before felt like a hallucination, making him doubt his life.
Under this complicated mood, Subaru slowly turned his head.
