How on earth did he get into the city?
In addition to the surprised silver-haired half-elf girl, Reinhardt and the others were also slightly surprised. But soon, Natsuki Subaru was labeled in his heart.
——Reckless guy.
"Amelia, I..."
Subaru Natsuki, who looked unusually out of place in the palace hall in his butler uniform, was also feeling very embarrassed with his hands on his sides holding his trousers. It seemed that he also knew that he should not be here.
Unfortunately it's too late.
"The attendant who has been staring at me, what's the matter? You're half-assed."
The person who broke the silence was not Emilia or Natsuki Subaru, but the arrogant girl who came up from behind and stood in front of Natsuki Subaru like a big sister.
Priscilla's words were even a bit excessive. After all, the purpose of labeling such a targeted label as "half-hearted" on the silver-haired half-elf girl was very obvious.
At this time, the reckless Subaru Natsuki became concerned about the feelings of his beloved again. Even though he already knew that Priscilla was a candidate for the king's election and was as noble as Emilia in terms of status, he fought back mercilessly.
"Don't say such outrageous things, you guy!"
"What? I am repaying you for saving my life. You should be grateful."
"Don't you always deny it? And it wasn't me who saved you, but Xiao Lin! This is just a simple prank!"
After swatting away the teasing Priscilla, Subaru Natsuki distanced herself from her.
Seeing this gesture of rejection, the arrogant girl with her heels on the ground narrowed her slender eyes unhappily.
She was angry.
Someone who doesn't take anyone seriously and thinks that the whole world should revolve around her may do any ridiculous thing.
However, not before the sinister atmosphere spread.
"Ahem——"
A cough came from the front. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to break the atmosphere and make the two parties aware of his presence.
"Xiao Lin?"
"you……"
Natsuki Subaru and Priscilla had different reactions.
It was very touching for the reckless boy who came to the rescue in time, but it was very unpleasant for the arrogant girl who was going to go crazy. Because she knew for sure that that person would definitely stop her.
"Hmph, boring."
The girl shook off the fan in her hand.
At the same time, Roswaal, who was standing side by side with Emilia in front, also showed an ambiguous smile and deliberately said with an extended tone: "This is really rude~~~ I didn't expect that my lost servant would be captured by Puli. Sir Sheila picked it up, thank you for taking care of it.”
"You want to steal something I picked up?"
"Clothes. There should be a family crest sewn into his uniform."
"--Um?"
Priscilla's expression disappeared.
Looking at Natsuki Subaru with a confirming look, the butler, urged by his gaze, quickly rolled up the hem of his clothes and indeed saw the embroidery that looked like an eagle inside.
It is the Mezas family crest.
In other words, Natsuki Subaru is an owner.
If Krillin stopped her from going crazy, then Roswaal killed the game and made it impossible for the arrogant girl to cause trouble again.
"It's a little trick."
Priscilla hummed softly: "Forget it. Thanks to the clowns and half-baked twisted looks over there, the boredom was relieved a little on the road. Besides - the same goes for you who is pretending to be irrelevant on the side."
She finally looked at Xiao Lin.
However, Kobayashi, who was standing with Reinhardt and others, kept his eyes open and did not express his opinion. He calmly treated them as irrelevant as the other party said.
Then, Priscilla stopped looking at Natsuki Subaru and walked forward.
It turns out that she was just using Natsuki Subaru to cause trouble for Emilia, and in her words, she was just having fun.
Emilia stiffened in the face of the arrogant girl approaching, but Priscilla who passed by paid no attention to her, and the shoulders of the ignored silver-haired half-elf girl relaxed.
Then his eyes rested on the triangular-eyed boy who was out of tune with the people around him.
——Why should we break the agreement?
Her eyes showed such emotion.
Natsuki Subaru also lowered his head in guilt, but without giving him a chance to explain, he was pulled to the left by a hand.
"Huh?"
"This way."
Xiao Lin pulled him into a small group.
"They are all familiar faces."
Natsuki Subaru looked at the people who were different from him in butler uniforms, and said slightly envious words. If he were wearing the same clothes, would he be able to stand here and help Emilia?
"Look, I just said he would come. It's a shame, it would be nice if there was a prize for the winner."
"Really Meow! Amazing Meow!"
"I'm surprised, but this is Subaru."
"……reckless."
Xiaolin's words caused quite a reaction from the other three knights.
The young man being discussed was confused.
"Wait, what are you talking about?"
"It's saying that you will definitely appear here."
Xiao Lin smiled and patted his shoulder.
Unlike other atmospheres of worry, doubt, or hostility, Xiao Lin did not blame or scold him, but actually agreed with his actions.
But for some reason, Natsuki Subaru felt something was wrong, and a strange feeling came to his mind.
"Xiao Lin..."
"Ah, no need to explain. You must be thinking so - like the protagonist in a strategy game. Because he can change the wrong route, he thinks it doesn't matter. He does things wantonly with a game attitude, and even ignores his own rights. life."
"I'm not, I didn't..."
"Don't you dare say that?"
The gentle smile suddenly disappeared, and Xiao Lin's plain expression made him feel uncomfortable.
Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but tremble.
Thinking back on it, Xiaolin's teachings to him when he came out of the first reincarnation of death made him understand the limitations of his abilities and how to use them, as well as that he had to embark on a thorny road to achieve his goals.
But after experiencing the Warcraft attack at the Earl's Mansion, he had more ideas.
Is it possible to use the reincarnation of death to determine what will happen in the future? Is it possible to obtain more intelligence and use it?
(Note: lust line)
Do you really want to do that?
Because you taste the sweetness?
Even if you don’t quite understand the activation conditions, even if it may cause irreparable damage, you still have to blindly trust your own ability?
"Hoo-ho-ho-"
The boy's breathing became rapid, his body was hunched, sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
I don't know when he had this terrible idea!
"Nazuki-kun, I won't say that you did something wrong. If it were me, it would not be difficult for me to have the same idea as you. However, no matter what kind of power it is, it has limitations, even resurrection magic. So, I hope you can think first and then act, rather than act first and then think. Otherwise, the people around you will definitely be hurt by your recklessness."
The two just change the word order, but their methods of doing things are completely different, and the impact they bring is also very different.
If Natsuki Subaru acted after thinking, and coupled with the killing weapon of death reincarnation, even Reinhardt would have no choice but to admit defeat in front of him.
More importantly, Natsuki Subaru is a very easy-to-use tool, and he is also the final insurance. If used well, he will be of great help to Xiaolin.
Whether it is to help him, to save everyone, or to guide him on a difficult and thorny road, it is just to pave the way for Xiaolin's ultimate goal.
Too much?
No, he would be grateful instead.
"...I understand, thank you Xiaolin."
You see, he even thanked us.
Seeing Natsuki Subaru's expression of confidence that his IQ had regained the high ground, Kobayashi patted his shoulder with great relief.
The other three people didn't understand, but they were very considerate and didn't ask too many questions.
Roswaal only intervened at the end of the conversation: "Oh, it seems you don't need any more education from me~~~~"
Xiao Lin bowed slightly to his nominal superior and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, I overstepped my bounds."
"No, no, no, I want to thank you, Xiao Lin." The Earl, who was dressed like a clown, deliberately lengthened his voice and said in a strange tone: "Your words are more useful than my master, which makes me a little envious. What~~~~"
However, this resentment was not answered.
Because before that, a loud voice sounded in the palace hall.
"——All the adults are here. Starting now, the adults of the Sage Association will enter!"
The door opened again, and Xiao Lin took the opportunity to return to the queue where he was supposed to be.
The knights in front of the door lowered their heads and greeted the several elderly people who walked in respectfully and devoutly. The corresponding majesty can be seen from their dress and behavior.
Natsuki Subaru wanted to follow Xiaolin, but he was stopped by a one-armed man wearing a helmet.
"I said brother, we should be on this side."
"It doesn't matter where I stand, but is it okay if I stand over there?"
Natsuki Subaru, who has a high IQ, knows to ask his master.
And Roswaal said with a bad smile: "The correct way is to send you out of the city, but because it is very interesting, just stay there."
"Wait, Roswaal!"
Regarding his attitude, Amelia raised her eyes, as if she wanted to say something.
"Unfortunately, there is no time to comply with Emilia-sama's orders. If the correct situation is revealed, then we have to say goodbye to Subaru... which means never seeing each other again physically."
"Well……!"
Natsuki Subaru swallowed.
He was deeply aware of how much trouble his recklessness would bring to Emilia and himself, so he quickly stood with Al among the knights on the left.
"The meeting has begun, please look to the center."
At the reminder of the knight, everyone looked forward. The seats set up around the throne were filled with the elderly members of the Sage Association.
Only the dragon chair in the center was empty.
Then, standing in a neat row below, there are beings who have had the brilliance to touch others since birth.
Led by the girl with orange hair, there were four girls who were blooming with extraordinary splendor.
Priscilla stood in the center with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out arrogantly. Even in front of the sages running the country, her expression did not waver at all.
On her right side is a capable beauty in military uniform.
Her long dark green hair reaches her waist, her beautiful and awe-inspiring face stares straight ahead, she stands straight with her legs together, and her tall figure is the tallest among the four women.
——Curius Karsten.
One of the candidates for the king's election, a strong contender for the throne, the head of Duke Carlsten's family, and the master to whom Felice is loyal.
Then standing on Priscilla's left side was a light purple-haired girl who gave off a very clear impression.
The hair that stretches down the back is wavy, and the soft impression gives people the feeling of cotton candy.
Her dress made of a lot of white fur and the small frog-mouth purse around her waist further highlighted her petiteness and cuteness.
——Anastasia Hessing.
A young businessman from the large chamber of commerce in neighboring Karalaki has endless greed and ambition, and he is also the master to whom Julius is loyal.
On the far left is the silver-haired half-elf girl, Emilia, who is disliked by many people. I won’t go into details about her information.
The above is all information compiled by Reinhardt, something he knew before the king's election.
Each one is a more difficult opponent.
How to take the throne from them?
The conversation between Natsuki Subaru and Reinhardt did not attract the attention of others, and they were completely uninterested in the long speech that was already known on the stage.
While Xiao Lin was thinking, the four girls in the audience took out a badge, and instantly the light was brightly dyed between the thrones.
The source of brilliance is the gemstone on the coat of arms.
"As you can see, all the candidates are qualified to sit on the Dragon Throne. Then the prophecy continues, among the five people who can become the leaders of the new kingdom, choose one as the witch, Ling Yu A Covenant with the Dragon.”
"Five people……"
As the knight on the stage explained, Natsuki Subaru frowned randomly.
There are only four candidates now, and the king selection has not yet started. Could it be said that the purpose of calling them here today is——
As if to confirm what he was thinking, the knight on the high platform said loudly with some excitement: "Today is also a day that will be engraved in the history of the kingdom!"
After hearing this, the palace hall, which had been slightly relaxed just now, was filled with a sense of urgency that no one could calm down.
The one who ignited the fuse was an arrogant girl who held her head high and held her chest high despite not knowing what fear was.
——Priscilla.
"You want to say that history has turned."
"You are right, Lady Priscilla."
In response to Priscilla's calm question, the knight commander on the stage received a signal from behind, saluted and shouted to someone below:
"——Knight, Reinhard Van Astrea! Come forward!"
"arrive!"
As if waiting for a response at any moment, Reinhardt stepped forward majestically, saluted the four candidates, and then stood in front of the knight commander on the stage.
"Then, Reinhardt, report!"
"yes!"
Reinhardt stepped forward, with everyone watching, and faced the Sage Association with an expression that showed no momentum at all.
"My lords, please allow me, Reinhardt, who belongs to the Knight Guards, to report on the completion of the mission."
"Well, let everyone hear it."
After hearing the council's instructions, Reinhardt turned around and looked at everyone in the palace hall.
"The Dragon Miko, the candidate for the king - the final fifth person, has been found!"
The commotion began to spread among the knights, and the expressions of the candidates responded to each other, and their intense expressions kept changing.
Fighting, joy, boredom, confusion.
The stalled king selection is about to begin. The new candidate will become the opponent of others. What kind of person will he be?
"Please enter on your behalf!"
Reinhardt called briefly.
The guard who accepted the voice saluted, and then the door slowly opened. From the other side of the door, a person accompanied by Liu Zi was called into the palace hall.
Seeing that person, Natsuki Subaru opened his mouth wide.
Rocking a light yellow dress, stepping onto the carpet with high heels, she styled her golden hair in a meticulous manner. A girl with strong-willed red eyes and distinctive tiger fangs that look like a mischievous person.
"I am a person who is revered as a king.
——The name is Felt. "
