"...Rem, does it take so long to go to Luknika?" Yuexing asked doubtfully, after all, he spent the whole morning on the journey.
"Because we have to transport goods, we take the main road, but it won't be too slow if there is a dragon cart..." Rem explained.
"Obviously it didn't take me this long when I went by myself."
"Yuexing should have gone directly through the forest. It is indeed much faster than the slightly detoured road, but there is also a threat, right?" Rem raised a finger and put it on his cheek.
"That's right, a straight line is the shortest between two points, right?" Yuexing nodded.
After arriving in Luknica, Roswaal took everyone to a very luxurious hotel and booked the most expensive room here, which occupied an entire floor.
"It's really luxurious..." Yuexing stood at the door and sighed.
"Just get used to it. Let's help together." Subaru patted Yuexing on the shoulder.
After placing the luggage in the car, Yuexing planned to take a nap
She thought she could rest for a while, but when Emilia asked to buy necessities, Subaru couldn't bear it and dragged her down, forcing her to join the procession.
"It's still as lively as ever..."
Yuexing and Rem walked side by side on the road and looked at Subaru and Emilia who were arguing in front of them.
Emilia wears a white magic cloak when she goes out. The magical magic makes people unable to see clearly the people inside even if they stand in front of them.
But it seems that anyone who knows Emilia will not be affected by this
"It's a bit like a cover-up. I'm a bit curious about what this cloak looks like in other people's eyes." Yuexing thought, showing great curiosity.
Unknowingly, a group of people came to the fruit stall
The sign that came into view said "Cademon", but it seemed that I didn't notice this sign the last time I came here.
"Hey, uncle, I'm here to fulfill my promise!" Subaru said to an uncle with a scarred face.
"Well..." The uncle moved his face closer
"It seems...it seems like I have said a few words to you..."
"Really? I'm here specifically to repay your kindness... Hey! It hurts, it hurts!"
Emilia grabbed Subaru's ear
Rem looked at them curiously, wondering what was going on.
"Subaru was penniless when he came to this fruit shop. The boss gave him some help, and that's all..." Yuexing beside him said.
I saw the boss laughing and taking out a bag of fruit from under the cabinet. The red ling fruits were shining brightly.
After Subaru handed over the copper coin in his hand, he returned to Yuexing with satisfaction and walked to the next street.
When passing by a store, there were many jewelry-like items on the stall. Subaru bought two pieces that looked more exquisite and gave them to Emilia and Rem.
Just when she was about to ask Yuexing if she wanted to buy something to give away, Yuexing raised her hand, miraculously a delicate bracelet dropped from her hand, and made a hissing gesture.
Looking at Rem and Emilia, who were not paying attention to Yuexing, Subaru understood and secretly gave a thumbs up.
Emilia happened to turn around, saw Subaru's movements, and looked at Yuexing in confusion, but Yuexing acted like nothing was wrong and did not go into details.
While Rem and Emilia were discussing, Subaru sneaked up to Yuexing and nudged Yuexing with his elbow.
"Hey, brother, do you have any plans? Tell me," Subaru said with a smirk on his face.
"I didn't expect you to be quite enlightened in this area. In that case, you will..." Yuexing whispered his plan in a low voice, and Subaru kept nodding to show his understanding.
The group of people walked to a small handicraft stall, and Subaru realized that his opportunity had come.
"Yuexing, aren't you going to buy something? There are a lot of good things here." Subaru asked Yuexing
"Do you like it?" Subaru took off a small pendant and compared it with Emilia. He nodded slightly to express his satisfaction.
"Boss, wrap this up for me" Subaru shouted to the boss
"Okay, three silver coins."
The bear-like woman took the pendant from Subaru's hand with a smile, took out a small bag from the counter and carefully packed the pendant.
Subaru put the pouch into the pouch on the chest of his cloak.
"Keep it safe," Subaru said with a smile.
"Subaru, it's true," Emilia pouted and said, but she didn't refuse.
"By the way, Yuexing, are you really not going to buy something? If you don't do something, Rem might be angry." Subaru pointed at the counter and said with a smile.
These words were met with surprise from Emilia and Rem, who was full of expectations.
Yuexing smiled and shook her head. Amid Rem's disappointed eyes, she walked up to her and grabbed Rem's right hand. A blush instantly appeared on Rem's face.
When Yuexing let go of his hand, Rem found that there was an extra bracelet on his hand. It was a delicate silver-white bracelet that exuded light blue light in the sun.
Rem found that he felt the fluctuation of magic power coming from the middlemost decoration of the bracelet. On the front of the decoration, there was a small "レム" engraved to represent Rem, but when turned over, it looked like a circular magic circle on the back.
The pattern, the fluctuation comes from the pattern
Rem, who was in shock, suddenly felt a hand put on her head, and the owner of the hand was Yuexing. There was also a silver-white bracelet on the exposed wrist. The only difference was that there was a cyan light flashing on it.
Subaru, who also discovered this, began to scream strangely, and Rem had a happy smile on his face.
"I will...protect this!" Rem made up her mind secretly.
"It's so beautiful," Emilia exclaimed.
"It's still a couple's style..." Subaru assisted from the side.
"Emilia, where are we going next?" Yuexing interrupted the conversation.
"I'm going to the Noble Street duty room."
"So it's called Noble Street?" Yuexing said in shock.
"The duty room? Speaking of which, Reinhardt also said something about the guards...Have you ever been to Tsukisei?" Subaru asked.
"Yes, and Reinhardt is right there..." Yuexing said
"...But it's best to go to the guard station in front of Noble Street," Emilia said.
"That's great. I can finally see him again. I just wanted to thank him. Let's go now!" Subaru said excitedly
"Well... If you go to the duty room, I'm sorry, Rem has something to do and can't accompany you anymore..." Rem looked at Yuexing
"Rem or else I..."
"No need, Yuexing just follow Emilia-sama, and keep an eye on Subaru-kun by the way."
"Well, okay" Yuexing nodded.
"Why did Rem say that about me?" Subaru squatted on the ground and drew circles in depression.
After saying goodbye to Rem, the three of them walked on the way to the duty room.
"Emilia Tan, tomorrow's king choice..."
"Subaru, I've said it several times. You brought Subaru here to keep the promise, right? Subaru and Yuexing are here to heal the body. Just don't worry about my affairs." Under the hood of the cloak, a wisp of
Silver hair fell down Emilia's cheeks, and there was worry in her purple eyes.
"Huh? Subaru's body? Didn't I ask you to stay in the mansion...you ran over by yourself, right? I wonder why there was no movement at all when there was such a big fire," Yuexing said to Subaru.
"Don't mention the past, it's nothing serious, right?" Subaru said disapprovingly
"I just want to do my part for Emilia Tan. I want to do something for you. So far... I will do the same in the future."
"Why? Subaru would do this? I... don't understand..."
"Uh... um..."
Subaru in front of Emilia who was waiting for a reply hesitated for a moment and did not say anything.
"This guy Subaru is like this..." Yuexing gave the answer and shrugged.
Emilia didn't make a sound and walked in front silently.
After a period of silence, Yuexing saw Subaru's expression suddenly change.
"It's probably Parker talking to Subaru." Yuexing figured out the reason and stopped paying attention there, silently following Emilia forward.
…
"arrive"
Following Emilia's figure, the three of them stopped.
What appeared in front of him was the duty room. Yuexing had always thought that this was the guard duty room.
"This is the duty room that monitors the royal capital. It also has the task of confirming the identity of people entering and leaving the Noble Street. It also takes into account the interrogation and customs clearance, so it is built in this place." Emilia walked towards the duty room, almost ringing the door.
When the door——
"I really saw it in a strange place."
The door of the duty room opened outward, and a young man's face appeared from it.
"Long time no see, Lady Emilia, is there anything unusual after that?"
The young man bowed respectfully to Emilia, and Emilia nodded to the young man with a calm face.
"...Thank you. There are no special changes. Julius is also in good condition."
"It's a great honor to be able to impress Emilia-sama. Emilia-sama's beauty has reached a new level."
The young man praised Emilia's beauty unceremoniously, and her slutty purple hair made her look even more coquettish.
That's right, this guy is Julius who hasn't run away yet
The two of them were talking, and under Subaru's shocked gaze, Julius skillfully took Emilia's hand, knelt down on one knee, and kissed the back of Emilia's hand.
However, this kind of gentlemanly behavior has a different look in Subaru's eyes...
