When I woke up, I took a look at the magic engraved crystal beside my bed. The crystal was emitting blue light.
"It's almost three o'clock"
Yuexing stood up, sobered up for a while, got out of bed, put on formal clothes, and walked out of the room.
There was no sign of Rem or Subaru when I went downstairs.
"Maybe he has already left, then I'll go by myself."
Yuexing took out a Poke fruit from his pocket, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and walked out of the door.
Ever since I discovered that the taste of this stuff is pretty good, I have used it as chewing gum. It can also improve Maya to a very small extent, but it is not good for your teeth at most.
On the way, Yuexing thought about the strategy for the night. After all, all the hard work for so many days was just for today.
"Let's survey the surrounding terrain first. We really don't know the number of enemies. There might be something unexpected."
Yuexing stood outside the village and stopped. He raised his chin and thought for a moment before deciding to walk around the village and observe for a while.
"Is it a ring village...but it seems that the monsters are only in the direction of the gap."
Walking to the direction of the gap in my memory, the crystal is still well inlaid on it.
"No one has done anything. Could it be that it was a temporary location? Or is it just that I didn't notice it..."
The crystal on the tree trunk was still shining. Suddenly, Yuexing vaguely saw the roof of the mansion in the reflection reflected by the crystal. Yuexing used the upward thrust generated by the wind to launch himself onto the top of the tree, and the back of the mansion clearly appeared.
in sight
"So you can see this part of the village. Maybe Subaru can provide some remote support."
I roughly calculated the distance, took out two crystals with dry magic power, found a place on the spot and started polishing them, made a simple sight, raised them up and looked into the distance.
"It's about seven to nine times. It's enough for Subaru to aim at. There's no need to worry about accuracy anyway. Just don't accidentally hurt me..."
Clamp the scope on the long gun and a simple sniper rifle can be put into the battlefield
"Let's find that room when we go back later and leave the rest to Subaru. I don't expect him to be able to help me anyway."
Yuexing shook his head, threw the gun back into space, and walked towards the village
As soon as we entered the village, children gathered around us again
"Brother, are you from Roswaal-sama's family?" the children asked
"Yes," Yuexing patted the children's heads and responded with a smile.
"Big brother, do you also know Brother Natsuki Subaru?" the children asked again.
"Of course! We are good friends," Yuexing squatted down and replied.
"Brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Huang Yuexing, remember it."
Yuexing touched his pocket, rummaged around and found only Poke Fruits. He took out a few Poke Fruits and looked at the children.
"Do you want to eat this? I forgot to bring candy when I came out." Yuexing shrugged.
"No, no, this stuff is sour and weird." The children quickly shook their heads and refused.
"Natsuki Subaru-nii is here!" I don't know which child shouted, and the children dispersed in a hurry, leaving a confused Yuexing in the distance.
"This guy is really popular with the children." Yuexing held his forehead, stood up, and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Yuexing walked to the entrance of the village and saw Subaru surrounded by children and Remram standing beside him.
"Yo——Yuexing——"
Subaru spotted Yuexing and waved at Yuexing and shouted:
"You guy..." Yuexing shook her head and walked over with a smile.
"Come on, Yuexing, let me introduce you."
"This is called Petra." Subaru pointed at a girl wearing a red headband.
"The red-haired one's name is Ruka."
"The fat guy over there is called Lumid."
"My name is Meina" shouted a little girl with pigtails
"The most interesting ones are these two." Subaru pulled out two children who looked similar.
"One is named Kane and the other is named Dane. To be honest, I don't quite know which one is which." Subaru shrugged.
Yuexing nodded and almost remembered the name.
"Big brother, let's play together," the children shouted
"Next time, I still have things to do now, right, Subaru?" Yuexing smiled and shook his head, looking at Subaru.
Subaru was just about to refuse, but suddenly he remembered what he had to do at night, so he gave up.
"Yeah." Subaru felt a little resentful and nodded helplessly.
"Brother Subaru, come here and take a look." A little girl with pigtails waved.
Subaru and Yuexing walked over and saw a dog in the arms of the little girl.
Subaru and Yuexing looked at each other, Yuexing squatted down
"This is a puppy you picked up, aren't you afraid of it biting someone?" Yuexing asked a question he had repeated several times.
"No, it's so good." The little girl touched the puppy's head
Yuexing also stretched out her hand, but the puppy didn't respond at all.
"No matter what happens, nothing will happen. Subaru, come on." Yuexing looked at Subaru
"Don't, it really hurts." Subaru resisted a little, but under Yuexing's glare, he walked over and reached out to touch the puppy's head.
After petting the puppy for a while, he became impatient and turned his head to bite it in one bite.
"Ah! I told you." Subaru kept waving his hands.
"Go clean the wound," Yuexing said, looking at Subaru who was bleeding from his hand.
Subaru nodded, went to the well in the village, and got a bucket of water to clean the wounds on his hands.
"Subaru, Tsukisei, it's time to go back," Rem shouted while holding a pile of food.
"Ah, okay, here we come." Yuexing and Subaru followed Ram and walked over.
When Subaru came to the clearing, he saw two large barrels.
"This..." Subaru stood there in a daze.
"It's time to go, Subaru," Rem said, picking up the bucket with both hands and lifting it up.
"This one is so strong... Rem, let me do it." Yuexing walked towards Rem.
"Sorry to trouble you, Yuexing." Rem was also rude and put down the barrel.
Yuexing looked at the barrels, and with a move of his right hand, in Subaru's surprised eyes, the two barrels floated up, and returned to stability after a while.
"Okay! It's easy. Then, I'll leave the remaining bucket to you," Yuexing told Subaru in an understatement.
"Magic is really convenient..." Subaru had a dark look on his face and walked over to lift the big bucket with all his strength.
"Barrus, how about I do it?" Ram mocked the panting Subaru from the side.
"No...I can do it..." Subaru insisted
In this way, the four of them walked back to the mansion in a formation with Remram in front chatting, Yuexing dragging a bucket and listening to the side, and Subaru holding on to his teeth in the back.
Of course, in the end, Yuexing used magic to lift the barrel and Subaru who was half dead from exhaustion. Later, he even lifted Remram up as well. This time, he didn’t even have to leave and floated all the way back to the mansion.
"Bang"
This was the sound of Tong and Subaru landing. Yuexing wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly and took a Poke fruit from his pocket to eat.
"Oh, can't you be gentler?" Subaru lay on the ground and wailed, but Yuexing ignored him.
"Oh yeah~ Are the four of you here? Doesn't this save me trouble?" Roswaal walked out of the mansion.
"Lord Roswaal," the two servants and Yue Xing saluted Roswaal, while Subaru was still sitting on the ground.
Roswaal wore a smart dress and opened his hands politely.
"Is this kind of clothes... meant for going out?" Yuexing asked
"Yes - yes, I will wear some decent clothes when I go out to avoid - some guys come out to make irresponsible remarks. There are some difficult things that I have to - deal with, so I leave the mansion to you.
——" Roswaal ordered
"Yes, since it is an order"
"Yes, try your best"
After Roswaal pointed his eyes at the two people who answered immediately, he locked his sights on Subaru.
Under the gaze of strange-colored pupils, Subaru felt a sense of oppression that made him twist uncomfortably.
Roswaal patted Subaru on the shoulder and said
"I'm begging you too, Subaru. I'm also begging you for Emilia-sama's safety."
"No problem, don't worry," Subaru replied
Roswaal looked at Yuexing beside him, walked over and patted Yuexing as well.
"Don't worry, just leave it to me." Yuexing looked at him and said
"Then - I'll leave it to you to look after the house." Roswaal said, jumping up slightly and rising into the sky with a relaxed attitude. Suddenly, he accelerated like a meteor and disappeared into the distance.
"It's worth learning..." Yuexing was inspired by Roswaal's flying method.
In the evening, after dinner
"It's almost done, Subaru, let's go find Beatrice."
Yuexing looked at the two holes in Subaru's hand
Subaru nodded, looked around and then walked to a room.
"Hi! Beatrice——"
"It's so noisy! Don't disturb Betty while she's reading," Beatrice said dissatisfiedly as she sat on the chair.
"Excuse me, I need Beatrice's help this time." Yuexing bowed and said formally.
"This guy has been hit by a spell, Subaru, show it to her." Yuexing looked at Subaru and said, Subaru stretched out his hand.
"Tch - you just asked this question not long ago. Do you have some strange delusions?" Beatrice took a few steps towards Subaru, but her expression changed after a while, and she looked at Subaru in confusion.
"I feel the breath of the curse spell"
Yuexing clicked his tongue and Subaru frowned.
"You can't draw a conclusion just by looking at the spell, but if this curse happens, it will most likely kill you."
"Then, please help me lift the curse as soon as possible. Time is running out," Subaru asked.
"...Why did Betty have to save your life?"
Yuexing looks at Beatrice
"The curse is spread from the villages in the territory. Is this a good enough reason?"
After hearing this, Beatrice sighed
"Lower your head," Beatrice said to Subaru.
Subaru lowered his head. White light gathered in Beatrice's palm, and then she pressed her hand on Subaru's forehead.
Black smoke floated from Subaru's hand
"Next, it's time to get down to business."
…
"Remram!" Moonstar called from the hall
"What's wrong?" Remram came over. Is it some kind of special ability that makes him appear nearby every time?
"A monster user has appeared in the village. I must go out," Yuexing said.
"Are you going to the village? Are you going to disobey Lord Roswaal's instructions? Tonight, the mansion is entrusted to us. Don't you understand the meaning of this?" Ram said coldly.
"All I know is that if no one takes care of it, the entire village will be devoured by monsters overnight. As a lord, if he fails to protect the villagers in his territory, then what else does this lord have to maintain his status as a lord?"
identity?"
Yuexing asked back, her words equally aggressive.
"You just need to protect the mansion and wait for me to come back," Yuexing said, turning around and walking towards the door.
"Wait, Yuexing, I'll go with you!" Subaru shouted to Yuexing
"It's not necessary, Subaru, you understand."
"I..." Subaru was silent, knowing that he couldn't be of much help.
"In this case...Rem, please come over and take a look," Ram said.
"Sister..." Seeing Ram's statement, Rem looked at Ram, but was kicked back by Ram's look.
"There's no need to follow. After all, Roswaal's orders are here."
"We can't let you go to the village alone. Since there are monsters here, if something happens to you, we can't tell Roswaal." Rem found a suitable reason and said.
"What's wrong, why are you all gathered here?"
Yuexing looked up and saw Emilia standing on the stairs. She probably came over after hearing the noise.
"Something happened in the village. We have to rescue people. Subaru will tell you the details." Yuexing raised his head and said
"Look now you have to go" Emilia walked down the stairs
"Yuexing...promise me not to come back alone," Subaru sighed.
"Don't worry, whatever you were like when you left, you will be like when you come back." Yuexing nodded.
"By the way Subaru, there is a room on the roof where I put the thing you saw last time. If you find fire coming from somewhere in the forest in front of you, just shoot there. The ammunition is there.
It’s stored nearby. I don’t need to teach you about things like reloading. Remember, always keep an eye on the situation in the forest. If you need your support, it means the situation is not good at that time." Yuexing solemnly ordered
"I understand, leave this matter to me!" Subaru said seriously
"Let's go," Yuexing said to Rem, and ran out of the door.
"Yuexing! You must come back!" Subaru shouted through the door
Yuexing didn't look back and ran straight towards the village.
