Chapter Twelve The Eve of the Battle(1/2)
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.
