——The gloomy sky seems to reflect the current state of mind.
"I will miss you"
Subaru stood in front of the gate of the mansion, and the woman in a dress beside him said this lonely
The long, thick green hair that was scattered around her back and the slender amber phoenix eyes were impressive. Seeing her weak figure standing with her eyes slightly lowered, Subaru still couldn't wipe away the sense of incongruity.
——Even if you know the appearance of the rich lady, you still know the true appearance of Crusch Karlsten now
"I'm very grateful that Miss Crusch can say this..."
Subaru scratched his head and looked away, looking straight ahead.
There were many dragon carriages lined up in front of Crusch's mansion. The people inside were all the villagers of Aram Village who came to the royal capital to escape from the Witch Cult led by Betrugius. Now the "Sloth" Sin Archbishop has been defeated.
, the safety of the mansion and the village has been guaranteed, so they and Subaru and his group will go back to the village through the streets - back to the Roswaal mansion.
To be honest, apart from the Witch Cult, problems are still piling up, and Crusch's character change is also one of them -
"Speaking of you being a coward, things won't make progress even if you stay here. It's just procrastination and being taken care of all the time."
"If it were three adults, I wouldn't care even if they stayed here all the time... But this won't work."
"I understand your kindness. We have a lot of problems with each other, right? Especially the achievements related to the white whale and "Sloth". If a team of greedy businessmen can't handle it well, they will take away all the benefits."
Shaking his head and rejecting Crusch's kindness, Subaru warned her to beware of Anastasia's camp. In terms of defeating the White Whale and "Sloth", it can be said that the three candidates for the King's Choice have achieved results by working together, but as far as the current situation and results are concerned,
So far as it's concerned, only Anastasia's camp is the winner
The Crusch camp has achieved a hegemony that no one has been able to achieve in four hundred years - However, the leader Crusch has suffered great damage, and so has the Emilia camp, which leads the crusade against "Sloth"
The damage may not be as fatal as Crusch and the others, but at least it is a huge pain for Subaru, and he is still pouring out his pain even now.
On the other hand, the Anastasia camp, where both the candidate and the knight are still alive, contributed greatly to both battles, and the damage to the camp was kept to a minimum.
Therefore, we must pay close attention to the movements of the Anastasia camp in the future. Because the situation is compelling, we hope that the alliance between the Emilia camp and the Crusch camp can be kept secret.
"In order to discuss future policies, please allow all of us to return home. We must discuss it with our supporter Roswaal, and the restless villagers also want to go home."
"It must be hard for your family to be separated. Please take good care of them."
Curxiu, who was smiling softly, looked at the villagers sitting in the dragon carriage.
Half of the villagers went to the royal capital to seek refuge, and the other half took different routes to seek refuge elsewhere. As Crusch said, some families were separated, so we hope to reunite them as soon as possible.
"We will return to the capital after the matter is finished, so it feels like we are only temporarily separated."
"Yes, I will wait. I hope to be able to repay this great favor by then."
"It's too exaggerated. We help each other and we get paid."
After smiling bitterly at the respectful Crusch, Subaru pointed to the front of the dragon carriages lined up. There was a particularly high-end dragon carriage. The body of the carriage was connected to a beautiful black earth dragon.
That black earth dragon is the reward for killing the white whale.
"It's true that I have no desires and needs. I defeated one of the three major monsters, but the reward was just to adopt an earth dragon."
"It is my life-saving dragon. Although we have been together for a short time, we have been through life and death together the most times...perhaps it is just troublesome for Patrasio."
"——Don't worry about unnecessary worries."
When the two of them were talking to Patrasio, the earth dragon, it was Wilhelm who came over with a gentle negation.
After confirming the status of the dragon chariot, the sword demon nodded to the two of them and gave his opinion.
"The Diana species, which is known as a proud and arrogant earth dragon, has rarely been so close to humans in a short period of time. His Highness Subaru and that earth dragon seem to be quite congenial."
"Is that so? I just had a flash of inspiration before attacking the white whale and chose it."
It is a fact that we are like each other. Choosing Patrasio is simply destiny.
If he had chosen an Earth Dragon other than Patrasio, he would not have been able to fight the White Whale and "Sloth". Subaru was in desperate situations many times and was only saved by this clever Earth Dragon.
"So, the Earth Dragon other than you can no longer satisfy me...!"
Subaru approached the earth dragon and touched its neck with gratitude. As a result, Patrasius leaned over with his noble side and rubbed Subaru's hand with its hard scales.
"Uh-huh! Scratching my hands with scales hurts more than I imagined! Now I know how it feels when a radish is filed into puree!"
"Huh, the earth dragon will play like this and make people laugh. This is also a behavior that relies on deep reliance."
"Really? Are you sure it's not the kind of relationship where the cat turns the mouse over?"
Is the interaction where his hand was about to be chopped off by an earth dragon just like a child's play to Wilhelm?
In the sight of Sword Demon smiling, Subaru scratched his face in embarrassment
"Forget it, we'll study how to get along with Patrasio later... I have to be separated from Mr. Wilhelm for a while. It's really a pity. Please take good care of your injuries and take care of yourself."
"Worrying you? - It seems that the distance is now far away, and there is almost no bleeding, although I don't know if I should call it lucky."
On Wilhelm’s left shoulder——there is a wound left by his wife, the previous sword master.
The opening of an old wound caused complex emotions to sweep through the sword demon's eyes. What does the reappearance of the wound mean? One can only ask the Archbishop of Sin who attacked Curxiu.
Sin Archbishop "Gluttony" - If the death of the Sword Demon's wife was caused by reasons other than Moby Dick, then he is the most likely person to be related. And considering the teachings of the Witch Cult, sooner or later they will fight against Emilia's camp.
conflict, so there is no doubt that they are enemies of the Allied camp
"Yue Xing Miao——Rem-chan has been fixed, let's confirm it."
When he was called out while he was thinking, Yuexing turned to look at the person who leaned out from the dragon carriage. It was Crusch's chief knight Phyllis with the signature flaxen cat ears.
Yuexing walked towards the dragon carriage and looked inside. In the spacious carriage, the innermost seats had been removed and converted into simple beds.
Lying on the bed was a blue-haired girl. She was not wearing the familiar maid outfit, but light blue pajamas. The girl fell into a long sleep that she would never wake up from. No one except Subaru and Yuexing remembered who she was.
——
"——In this way, you don't have to worry about being thrown out of bed or anything like that?"
"That's what people are most concerned about. After all, Fili-chan is a healer and is very gentle to patients... although it feels weird to call Rem a patient."
Yuexing looked at the peaceful sleeping face. Looking at this scene, Phyllis shrugged.
Subaru walked over, looked at Rem, and asked:
"Do you really want to take it back?"
"Well, although it is safer to rest here, there is no cure..."
Phyllis smiled bitterly, then narrowed her eyes and said:
"Let's not talk about it anymore. It's not just Rem-chan who needs some rest, but Yuexing Miao also needs it."
"I also want?"
"Yes, you have forgotten why you stayed in the capital in the first place? This battle with "Gluttony" caused a lot of damage to your body, and the door was also damaged... Your body doesn't feel weak. ?"
"No, there's nothing unusual about it."
Facing Phyllis's question, Yuexing turned her neck and shoulders and answered that it was okay, her injuries had been healed.
It’s just that the horns on the head haven’t had time to grow yet
"However, you can't force yourself. Although the door has been repaired for the time being, it is not a cure. Think about it... let the door rest for at least two months."
"Phyllis"
"What meow?"
"Thank you for helping me so much. I feel like I haven't even expressed my gratitude to you."
Facing Yuexing’s outstretched hand, Phyllis looked down quietly for a while—
"...The fingers are unexpectedly slender, and it doesn't look like a swordsman at all."
"After all, it didn't take long to become a swordsman."
Yuexing carefully observed the person in front of her. The slender hands and feet and the fair and rosy skin were undoubtedly the characteristics of a beautiful girl——
"But he is a boy. Really, are all cute people boys?"
"Because this is what Fili-chan is suitable for, and Crusch-sama also expects this, meow. This is the best way to make your soul shine... I just respond wholeheartedly."
"——No matter how the King's Choice evolves, I will definitely protect Lord Crusch."
"Well, see you later," Yuexing said with a smile.
Phyllis let go, jumped off the dragon carriage with a smile, and then bowed to him
That is Phyllis's determination, awareness, and tragic truth.
"Ah, is Rem's bed ready?"
Immediately after Phyllis got off the car, Emilia also appeared in front of the gate. With her silver hair tied in braids, she walked towards the prepared dragon carriage.
"Is it okay? Can we go back to the mansion?"
"No problem, it's no problem to rely on me and Patra to repair dangerous driving, just let's do it alone," Subaru said
“I don’t know much about it, but I have a bad feeling about it, so I forbid you from “Pretty Girl””
"What a pity. I originally wanted to use dangerous driving to carry out the suspension bridge effect battle where Emilia-chan would crash."
Subaru responded in a normal tone and emphasized that there was no problem. Emilia's eyes were slightly shaken when she heard the answer, but the emotion she aroused did not turn into words after all.
"Okay, it's over. Although I'm reluctant to leave, it's almost time to set off, nya."
The awkward silence was broken by Phyllis clapping her hands, and she focused her attention behind him. He immediately gave up the gathered attention to Crusch beside him.
"Come, Lord Crusch, let me finally say something to Lady Emilia and the others."
"OK, all right"
Taking over the scene where Phyllis handed over to her, Crusch took a step forward. Subaru and Emilia also straightened their postures, facing her who was following Phyllis and Wilhelm. Yuexing stood aside, quietly. Watching this scene quietly
"First of all, although I have said it many times, I still want to express my deep gratitude to you two. I can still save my life after losing my memory. My wish before I lost my memory is all thanks to you three. Thank you."
"Where, where...I haven't done anything to make Master Crusch thank you. I've been almost excluded from everything in the past few days..."
"It's true that I'm in the center but I'm excluded. However, since I'm very active, don't worry, all the credit for me is Emilia-chan's credit."
"The stupid things Subaru did are all blamed on Emilia-sama."
"Don't dig my wounds!"
Subaru expressed his support for Emilia, who felt guilty, but Felice immediately teased her about the embarrassing incident in the royal castle. When Subaru raised his voice, the door burst into laughter.
It was unimaginable until a few days ago that I could regard that matter as a joke.
Of course, it is not a good thing to forget the vigilance like claw marks——
"It's okay. From now on, I will discuss it with Subaru and do things together."
"————"
Only one person didn't smile, Emilia said with sincerity in her eyes
No matter what the result of Subaru's actions is, she accepts it positively, which is proof that she agrees with Subaru.
