In the middle of the night, outside the Carlsten mansion.
Because time was urgent and he needed to summon the soldiers of the expedition team who had already prepared, Curio did not rest and was so busy that he did not even have time to take a breath.
At this moment, dragon carts and supplies have gathered on the lawn, among which Anastasia is communicating with Russell.
In this battle against the White Whale, Anastasia also decided to contribute. On the one hand, it was for the sake of her merchants, and on the other hand, it was to make both the Emilia camp and the Crusch camp owe her a favor.
Favor.
There is no need to say much about merchants. After all, in this era, merchants are basically businessmen, and they will die if they encounter a white whale.
As for the matter of owing favors, although Natsuki Subaru is a little helpless, he does need all the power that can help defeat the White Whale. Let alone owing favors, he has to accept even if it is an excessive request.
"I see, it's because she bought a lot of dragon carriages in order to conquer the White Whale. That's why it was so difficult for me to get a carriage to transport people back to my homestead."
At this time, Natsuki Subaru was leaning against a big tree, looking at the soldiers resting on the lawn and murmuring.
Although he is only a high school student, it can be judged from the looks and well-trained postures of the warriors that all those gathered here are experienced warriors.
"It's so late, aren't you sleepy?"
It happened that at this time, Xia Yu came over, stood next to Natsuki Subaru and asked.
Hearing this, Subaru Natsuki glanced at the resting warriors again and replied: "How can I go to sleep? Everyone has been preparing all night."
"But……"
Xia Yu patted Natsuki Subaru on the shoulder and said sympathetically: "You are a weakling, you can't do much even if you just watch here, you might as well rest and recharge your batteries and lead the way."
"..."
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but cover his forehead and sigh: "Oh... Senior, you can't help but dismantle me. You did it before and you do it now. Isn't it fun to tease me?"
"It's fun."
Natsuki Subaru: (Benefit)
If I hadn't respected you as a senior, my 70kg fist would have already hit your face.
"Hey, don't be so sad, I'll give you a gift."
Seeing Natsuki Subaru's depressed look, Xia Yu put his hand around his neck and took out a mobile phone from his arms with a smile.
"Here, call me if you have any trouble in the future. Senior, please be kind to you. To be honest, if I didn't like you, I wouldn't even bother to tease you."
"I said……"
The corner of Natsuki Subaru's mouth twitched as he took the phone, and then pointed at the soldiers not far away from them: "Senior, have you forgotten, this is the Middle Ages, there is not even a signal base station, how can you make a call?"
"Also, mobile phones need to be charged, right? There is no power plant here. How can I use electric magic to charge my mobile phone? But I am a Yin-type person, so I can't learn electric magic."
"You've learned how to make trouble, haven't you?" Xia Yu made fists with both hands and drilled into Natsuki Subaru's head. He didn't stop until Natsuki Subaru howled in pain and begged for mercy.
"No, senior, what I said is true." Natsuki Subaru covered his head with his hands, his eyes sad.
"Don't look at me like that."
Xia Yu pushed Natsuki Subaru away with a look of disgust, and then took out another mobile phone: "Don't worry, my mobile phone has a nuclear battery. Even if you die of old age, your mobile phone will still be fully charged."
"Secondly, you don't have to worry about signal problems. This mobile phone of mine does not need a signal base station. It can transmit signals by itself. You can contact me even from the ends of the world."
Natsuki Subaru didn't say anything, with an expression on his face that said, "You'll see if I believe it or not."
"...Do you want to be beaten?" Xia Yu silently raised his fist and squeezed it loudly.
"What are you two doing, meow?"
Suddenly, a cute and playful girl's voice sounded in their ears. Felix shook his cat ears and suddenly came out.
"I'm here to listen to senior's bragging." Natsuki Subaru replied as if he was trying to kill himself.
"oh?"
Felix suddenly came forward and looked at Subaru Natsuki curiously: "Actually, I have wanted to ask for a long time, why did Subaru call him Xia Yu-senpai?"
"That's right." Natsuki Subaru giggled, scratched his head, and replied, "Because senior and I come from the same place. It's rare to see people from my hometown in other places, so I couldn't help shouting."
"That's it, meow." Felix said with a fist: "No wonder Subaru and Xia Yu both have rare black hair. Do everyone in your place have black hair?"
"That's not true. We also have other colors of hair there, such as yellow hair and blond hair, but the colors are not as rich as here. There are even silver hair, green hair and purple hair."
"Is that so? It's really a wonderful place."
"By the way, dear Subaru." Felix suddenly smiled and leaned into Natsuki Subaru's ear and whispered: "Did you know? When Xia Yu first came to the mansion, he couldn't even recognize the words, hahaha."
"Ah this..."
Natsuki Subaru laughed twice. When he first arrived in the other world, he didn't seem to be able to read.
"Phyllis, can't you lower your voice? I heard it all..." Xia Yu said helplessly. Who can blame him? It's all the fault of the original author. He insisted on designing some otherworld text, even though he doesn't know Japanese.
That’s it.
"Hehe, who let Xia Yumiao bully me?"
"...I apologize. As an apology, let me give you a gift."
Under Felix's curious gaze, Xia Yu took out another mobile phone and handed it to Felix.
Natsuki Subaru:(￣△￣)
"Senior, how many mobile phones do you still have? You are Doraemon!"
Under Natsuki Subaru's complaining question, Xia Yu thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not as versatile as Doraemon, and I don't have its props."
"..."
"Don't think so seriously and then answer seriously!"
"Mobile phone?" Felix took the mobile phone handed over by Xia Yu, tilted his head slightly and shook his ears: "How to use this magic weapon? It doesn't seem like there is any magic fluctuation?"
"Subaru, please teach Phyllis how to use the phone. Remember to teach him how to make calls, take photos, and record videos."
"Eh?" Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru looked surprised: "Is this okay? You are obviously companions, why do you want me to teach you?"
"Because I think you are a good teacher." Xia Yu patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
"Ugh... Don't you want Subaru to do it?" Felix suddenly came forward and asked with his big, watery eyes.
"That's...not really." Being stared at by Felix, Natsuki Subaru blushed, scratched his head and muttered, no man can refuse such a cute cat girl, no one!
Sorry, Emilia Tan, I was just teaching.
"Subaru, do you think Phyllis is a woman?" Xia Yu suddenly asked, looking at Natsuki Subaru's undulating expression.
"Ah? Isn't it?"
Natsuki Subaru looked at Felix in shock: "With this cute voice, cute appearance, and slender body, isn't she a cute girl?!"
"Hey, I'm a little embarrassed by Subaru's compliments." Felix covered his face with his hands and said, "But Felix is a man."
