"Nayuki-kun, I don't know if you have any intention of using others as bait to achieve your purpose and then resurrect, but there is an important prerequisite that I must tell you."
"Hey, hey, hey, I won't do anything like that. Then, what are the prerequisites?"
"My magic can only resurrect people who have souls and bodies and are dead within one day. In other words, resurrection magic is not as convenient as you think. It cannot be used as a trump card to reverse the situation at any time."
"Okay, I get it now!"
…
…
Natsuki Subaru, who opened his eyes from his sleep, couldn't help but sigh: "Although I know that the more extraordinary the ability, the more stringent conditions for its use, but I feel sad when I think of Krillin's absence. If he is here, it will definitely be more Take it easy. On the 18th day in the mansion, I miss him."
"Sister, sister, the guest doesn't seem to be awake yet."
"Remrem. The guest is so pitiful. He seems to have become demented at a young age."
Lift your upper body.
Appearing at the end of the bed were two cute maids, one pink and one blue. Except for the different hair colors and hairstyles, they looked almost the same.
Now, they were holding each other's hands with worried looks on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Natsuki Subaru was almost moved to tears. He suppressed the yelling to express his inner gloomy thoughts, and quietly thought about how to break the situation in this reincarnation.
"What's wrong with you, guest? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"What's wrong with you, guest? Is it because you've relapsed?"
"Give it a little squeeze."
"...Huh?" X2
The two-tone concern calmed Natsuki Subaru down, and then Rudeng disciple held the hand of the maid sister and felt it carefully.
It was exactly as he suspected.
This touch...
At that time, when I was feeling extremely uncomfortable, the people who came to comfort me were the two sisters.
"That's true. I wasn't mistaken."
Natsuki Subaru looked moved and sad.
But this did not make the maid sisters accept it. Instead, they broke away and backed away.
"No, guest. I think you are totally mistaken."
"No, guest. Your birth must have been a mistake."
The twin maids disliked him mercilessly.
Natsuki Subaru choked and sighed: "Considering what will happen in the future, these words are really hard to laugh at. But now I feel good, the sharp and poisonous tongue is really a feeling I haven't seen for a long time."
It looks pretty much the same as before.
Because I feel unhappy, I might use my venomous tongue to vent my anger. But the elder sister is enduring, and the younger sister is also enduring for her elder sister. It is really a touching sisterly love.
"Sister, sister, the guest may be a troublesome person who will feel happy after being scolded."
"Rem Rem, the customer seems to be a pervert who gets excited after being scolded."
"That's not true! I just knew a maid who also liked to taunt others, and I feel a little nostalgic about her!"
Natsuki Subaru retorted loudly.
The joy of being reunited was instantly blown away.
But it is still necessary to explain. After all, too many flaws were exposed before, and the twin maids did not trust him and secretly killed him.
correct!
In this case, let's put the blame on Xiao Lin! Anyway, Emilia knew him, and he would be safer with her proof.
As soon as he said this, a beautiful silver-haired half-elf appeared outside the door.
——Emilia in casual clothes.
"I thought something noisy was going on, but Subaru seems to be in good spirits, which is great."
"Until just now, I was in a complicated mood, but it all disappeared after seeing Emilia Carbon. Emilia Carbon is a special medicine that heals my heart."
Natsuki Subaru squirmed like a maggot.
The twin maids stayed away from him in disgust.
Emilia was polite and didn't take offense to it, but the silver-haired half-elf who couldn't keep up with his brain responded slightly awkwardly: "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are talking about. But good morning, it's great to see you're okay. ”
"Ah, good morning."
He didn't know how many times he had repeated this situation.
but……
Then let’s start a new reincarnation!
First is the dinner party.
In order to thank him, Roswaal specially took time to eat, and Beatrice would also appear at the table.
Speaking of which, she suffered a big loss when she bumped into her during her first reincarnation. If she didn't do that kind of thing this time, she shouldn't be scolded again, right?
"It felt like I was watching upstairs. That's the thing, your head seems pretty hopeless."
"You still get scolded?!"
Natsuki Subaru felt the malice of the world.
I see, this is the end of the world line.
It seems that there is no way to do it this time.
When you are tired, destroy it quickly.
Natsuki Subaru fell to his knees in despair, his expression extremely sad and painful, and he looked extremely pitiful.
Beatrice didn't expect that just one word of hers would hurt the other person so much. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Are you okay? I didn't mean to insult you intentionally, I just said it truthfully..."
Suddenly, without noticing, the little Loli's spiral twin ponytails were straightened.
"W-what are you doing?!"
"Haha, you've been fooled! This is your punishment for being rude, little loli!"
Natsuki Subaru let go of his hand, and Beatrice's twin ponytails shook back and forth like drills, making the little loli who was a little apologetic just now feel only angry in her heart.
This is an unpleasant guy!
At this time, Amelia and Parker walked in behind him.
"Hey, Betty. I haven't seen you for four days. How are you doing lately? Are you being a good lady?"
"Onii-sama!"
The little Loli forgot Natsuki Subaru's abrupt behavior and happily held the kitten to entertain herself.
Very good, although there are some differences, the process is almost the same as before.
After that, it should be him.
Natsuki Subaru cheered up.
"Beatrice is actually here, it's really rare~~~I feel very happy to want to have dinner with me after a long time~~~"
Deliberately elongated tone and exaggerated dress.
The whole person looks like a clown.
And he is the owner of this mansion, Border Earl Roswaal.
what to do?
Are you going to do the same insulting thing on purpose? No, that would probably make the twin maids resentful. Let’s not do weird things here.
"This is the first time we meet. I am the owner of this mansion, Roswaal L. Mezas. Please give me your advice, Mr. Subaru Natsuki."
There were no more strange behaviors, and Roswaal's self-introduction became much more normal, at least without the strange sense of oppression before.
Then it's time to take your seat.
The owner of the mansion, Roswaal, sat in the main seat. The first one on the right was Emilia, followed by Natsuki Subaru.
This is also the same as before.
In order to win over the twin sisters and integrate as soon as possible, Natsuki Subaru praised Rem's cooking skills as before.
"You are really incredible~~~You came to the mansion on the Mezas border of the Lugnica Kingdom, but you didn't know anything~~~"
Roswaal said this in a weird accent.
After he finished speaking, the twin maids and Beatrice looked at Natsuki Subaru warily, obviously regarding him as a spy.
Natsuki Subaru was also very 'idiotic' and asked: "Are you referring to the situation where the kingdom has no king now?"
"Hmm~"
Roswaal snorted inexplicably.
At the same time as the king's death, an epidemic was spreading in the city, and the king and his descendants died.
But at this moment Natsuki Subaru appeared.
Not only did he save Emilia, but he also got involved with the Earl of the Border, which is definitely suspicious!
"But it seems like you know more."
"That's right. For example: I also know that Emilia Carbon is one of the candidates for the king."
"Oh?"
A simple sentence changed the atmosphere at the dinner table.
Roswaal narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura completely enveloped Natsuki Subaru. Amelia was stunned for a moment, panicked and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Parker.
"Ah ah ah, don't get me wrong, I didn't guess it. It was Xiao Lin who told me."
"Xiao Lin?"
"My best friend, and the savior of me and Amelia."
Natsuki Subaru looked like a stupid and careless young man. He didn't seem to realize that he had sold his best friend, or maybe he was deliberately guiding him.
Emilia also nodded and said, "Ah, if it's Xiaolin..."
"Lady Emilia, who is Xiaolin you are talking about~~~"
"He is a very outstanding man."
It was Parker who answered him.
Roswaal raised his eyebrows: "Oh~~~ I didn't expect that Lady Emilia and Parker would admire him so much, and I also became very interested in him~~~"
This is real.
The Book of Wisdom only says that someone will solve this crisis. He thought it would be Natsuki Subaru, but now it seems that is not necessarily the case.
Xiao Lin, the man who suddenly appeared, it is necessary to investigate.
Seeing that Roswaal stopped asking questions, Natsuki Subaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Great, successfully diverted attention.
I don't know what role Roswaal will play in the future, but it is certain that he is not on his side, so it is best to involve him to give himself a higher operating space.
As for Xiao Lin, I can only say sorry first.
"Okay. As a reward for helping Emilia-sama, Subaru, feel free to tell me your wish!"
"Then I have only one wish...let me work in this mansion!"
Natsuki Subaru expressed this request again.
Look, we will definitely save everyone this time, even if the road ahead is full of thorns!
——————
"Ah!!!!"
Far away in the royal capital, where the Sword Saint family was stationed, Xiao Lin sneezed loudly.
The waiter standing behind him asked with concern: "Master Xiaolin, are you sick? You are still sick even though you are already at level 5. Should we say that this is the weakness of human beings?"
"No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, I can't possibly get sick."
He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Someone must be talking about him behind his back, and that person is definitely Natsuki Subaru.
"Could it be that you are thinking of Natsuki-sama?"
"That's right. Actually, I'm a little envious of him."
"envious?"
"Ah. With the silver-haired half-elf, the spiral twin-tailed lolita, and the pink-and-blue twin maids, I must be living a life that makes people crazy with "jealousy". "
"...But Mr. Xiaolin, your expression doesn't seem to be jealous."
The doll girl who was always watching her master did not notice any jealousy in her master. On the contrary, there was an inexplicable sympathy and smile, more like gloating?
"Hehehe, I can't help but laugh when I think of Natsuki-kun's miserable life."
In the end, Xiaolin admitted it.
Liu Zi wanted to ask what was the reason that made her master smile so happily, but the unexpected visitor behind her interrupted her inquiry.
"Xiao Lin, why are you smiling so strangely?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of happy things." Xiaolin waved his hand and said to him: "How about it, Reinhardt?"
"As expected, Lord Felt is a member of the royal family who is living abroad."
Reinhardt was not as happy as having fulfilled his duty as a knight to find the missing royal family member, but instead felt a little pained and sad.
After all, what awaits Felt is not a beautiful life, but a more cruel selection ceremony for the candidate king.
In particular, Felt was the last one to enter. Both in terms of power and quality, he was much worse than the other candidates for the king's election. In order to tie it up as soon as possible, we can only do our best to correct it before the selection ceremony begins.
Reinhardt noticed that the man in front of him didn't look surprised at all, and said, "Sure enough, Xiaolin already knew it?"
"After all, the badge has been in Felt's hand before."
"Indeed."
Reinhardt nodded at Kobayashi's honesty.
But that doesn't mean he won't ask other questions. Instead, he wanted to ask more.
"I'm sorry, Xiaolin. Even though you are Lord Felt's savior, now Lord Felt is about to become the fifth king candidate. For her safety and victory, I have a question that I want you to answer me seriously."
"what is the problem?"
"Why did you choose Felt-sama? Or are you actually the person chosen by other kings to be the candidate, and you came here to spy on Felt-sama?"
"No, it's not that."
Xiaolin was not angry when asked this question. After all, this was Reinhardt's responsibility.
It was natural for him, who was about to become a knight of Felt, to find out information about people whose details were unknown to his master and eliminate danger.
"As for the reason, it should be that I want to occupy an important position in this country."
Under Reinhardt's puzzled gaze, Kobayashi said: "There is such a history in my country. A helpless prince was forced to be sent to another country as a hostage, and during this period he received help from a businessman. After that, the prince returned to his own country and became the king, and then attacked six surrounding countries in one fell swoop and successfully annexed them, and the businessman who funded the prince also gained huge benefits and became a very important figure."
"That is to say..."
"Yes, this is investment. I believe that with my help, Felt will become the king."
Xiao Lin said with a smile.
Compared with other candidates for the king's election, what Felt lacks most is helpers, or power.
Leaving aside Emilia, with her appearance as a [silver-haired half-elf], getting help is a problem.
The little purple-haired lolita who owns the Chamber of Commerce, or the green-haired girl in military uniform who has a title and an army, or the orange-haired busty girl with the world around her. Compared with them, Felt has nothing and started late. We must face such a dilemma.
Therefore, Reinhardt would not refuse Kobayashi's surrender at all.
"One more thing."
"What?"
"Don't underestimate my greed. What I want to do is much more amazing than what you think, Reinhardt."
The corners of Xiaolin's mouth raised, and the special pattern on his forehead kept flashing.
