The dark red light curtain dispersed, leaving only Yuexing and Julius on the field.
"How's it going Yuexing? Is there a winner?" Subaru asked anxiously from the stands.
Yuexing didn't speak, just looked at Julius quietly, only to find that Julius was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, because the two of them were in a really embarrassing state.
The knight's uniform on Yuexing's body has already been slashed numerous times, including the left shoulder, abdomen, right arm, and left calf.
There were no obvious wounds on Julius's body, but the wrinkles on his clothes were concentrated on his chest, as if he had been bundled up and then spread out.
Although there were no damages on Julius's clothes, his hairstyle on the left side of his temple looked particularly abrupt. A neat cut diagonally cut across the left side of his temple where the hanging hair had accumulated. This shows that even though Julius's hair was
There will be times when you are overly responsive and suffer losses.
The situation at the training ground was a bit messy. The center of the battle between the two men was surrounded by a large number of slash marks and sawdust, and these things seemed to be caused by the moon and stars.
"Although I really want to say it's a tie, but judging from the extent of my injuries, it's true that I lost." Yuexing smiled and walked back to the stands side by side with Julius.
"I said in advance that Yuexing and I would play against each other, but in the end it ended up being a one-on-one battle. I thought it would be fun for me." Youmeng shook her head helplessly.
"I will inform you next time I have a chance," Julius said to Youmeng, who nodded.
"Is this guy that strong? I don't think he's that good," Subaru said dissatisfiedly from the side.
"In terms of swordsmanship alone, I can't beat him. Even though I have used all the methods to keep my position low, it's just barely a tie." Yuexing denied.
"Yuexing, don't you know magic? Then why don't you use magic?"
"Are you brainless? My magic is basically destructive. Do you want me to destroy the entire training ground?" Yuexing slapped Subaru on the head, and the shock force from his head affected him.
to injured muscles
"Hey - Phyllis, please help me heal it, it hurts me so much" Yuexing greeted.
"Okay, okay" Phyllis walked towards Yuexing, the soft blue light shone on Yuexing
After a while, Yuexing stretched out comfortably and looked in the direction of the door.
"Someone just ran to report it. After all, there are several people here, and they got into a fight for no reason," Yuexing said.
"ah?"
"I ordered you to report the requisition of the training ground," Reinhardt said, handing back the decoration on Julius's clothes.
The four of them just looked at Reinhardt quietly, feeling an indescribable feeling mixed in with them.
"...In this case, I have to leave quickly, otherwise the adults will come soon. I came here without telling Emilia, because of this guy." Yuexing said, pointing at Subaru
"Lady Emilia? What is the relationship between Yuexing and Lady Emilia?" Reinhardt asked in confusion.
It seems that Reinhardt was the only one present who didn't know about this...
"My dear Yuexing is Emilia-sama's apprentice, nya," Phyllis said.
Reinhardt showed an expression of sudden realization and said
"Then Yuexing, you'd better leave quickly. I'm not sure how many adults will come here," Reinhardt said.
"That's all, that's it anyway, come and talk to Zhang Ying." Yuexing waved his hand, called everyone to him, took out his mobile phone and set it to the front-facing camera.
"What is this? A magic weapon? We can actually still appear on the screen."
"Oh, don't ask so many questions now. I'll explain it to you later," Subaru greeted.
"That's good. The angle is right. I can take pictures of anyone walking away." Julius adjusted the position of his phone.
"Okay - get ready, three, two, one -"
The screen flashed for a moment, freezing the moment. All six people were taken in. Yuexing stood at the front and supported the camera. Subaru beside him squeezed in between Felice and Youmeng, who were standing side by side, forming a shadow.
He made a staircase shape of a signal tower and smiled happily. Phyllis was sticking out his tongue playfully, Youmeng turned his head to look at Subaru with a dissatisfied expression, Julius stood behind Youmeng, Reinharu
Especially next to Julius
…
Yuexing and Youmu were the first to return to the hotel. After a brief rest, Youmu went back. Just as Youmu went downstairs, Subaru, Emilia and Roswaal also came back.
"Yo——Hong Yuexing, you walked pretty fast." Roswaal walked to his room and said in his usual unique tone.
Yuexing didn't respond to him, just looking at the notes in his hand.
The melancholy Emilia glanced at Yuexing, said nothing, pulled Subaru into the room, and closed the door.
"It seems Emilia is still angry." Yuexing scratched her head.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yuexing, let's have a cup of tea." Rem sat next to Yuexing and handed the tea in his hand to Yuexing.
Yuexing took the tea, said "thank you" softly, and slowly tasted the tea from another world.
"Yuexing worked really hard for Subaru." Rem leaned on Yuexing.
Why does Rem know about this? Because Yuexing, a clever little guy, established a group communication when chatting with Youmeng, just like a chat room, which means that Rem can listen to every word.
The process to the king's election, from beginning to end
"There is nothing we can do about it. Subaru, as you know more or less, if no one stops him, he might do something irrational." Yuexing touched Rem's head helplessly.
said
Emilia's door opened, and the silent Subaru walked sadly back to his room, while Emilia walked directly in front of Yuexing, and Rem walked to the kitchen knowingly.
"Yuexing, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Yuexing nodded, stood up, and followed Emilia into the room.
After Emilia came to the door, she moved a chair to the bedside and sat on the bedside herself.
"So, what do you want to say?" Yuexing asked knowingly.
Emilia rubbed the corner of her clothes and said
"Yuexing...you also went to the venue, right?" Emilia asked
There was no denying it, Yuexing nodded.
"Can you tell me why? I heard Rem said that you went there later..."
"It's very simple——"
"Easy?" Emilia was stunned for a moment
"First of all, I went to see Subaru. Didn't you notice that Subaru was surprisingly quiet?" Yuexing shrugged.
"Indeed..." Emilia said softly
"Second - it's for you." Yuexing's tone changed.
"For...me? Are you kidding me?"
"then……"
"Why do you have to help me? Or even violate the agreement between us?!" Emilia's voice broke out, her tone was urgent, and her eyes were full of confusion.
"Listen to me first...do you still remember the half-dragon at that time? He was the guy who killed the member of the Sage Society who insulted you," Yuexing said calmly.
Emilia opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say it. She just nodded.
"I brought that guy in, do you understand?" Yue Xing said.
Emilia was silent for a while, unsure.
"So... was it for me from the beginning? What kind of half-demon is the same as half-dragon... just for me?"
"In theory, this is correct. You should be able to see the difference in treatment from other candidates." Yuexing nodded.
"...No, since we have made an agreement, you and Subaru should not break it. I am worried about Subaru, so I specifically told you again why you have to act on your own..."
"But Emilia, did you notice that I came to the venue at that time?" Yuexing asked in return.
Emilia was stunned
"Since none of the parties involved found out, then there is no violation of the agreement, right? Everything is going on quietly, and you, the party involved, don't notice at all. This is not only for Subaru, but also for you, because you are all my friends."
Yuexing looked at the ceiling and said
"Friend..." Emilia stared at Yuexing for a while, then shook her head in confusion.
"No, I, I still don't understand..."
"What don't you understand?"
"Why, why do you and Subaru do this for me, time and time again, even though we haven't known each other that long, why do you want to help me like this?"
"Do you mean we are redundant?" Yuexing frowned.
"No, that's not it. I, I can see that you and Subaru are good people, but the agreement... then, I told you that the moon and stars are very important, that... yes" Emilia was a little anxious
Yuexing waved her hand
"I know, I know you are worried about us, afraid that we will get into trouble in this strange place. We broke the contract first. I apologize to you for causing you trouble. I'm sorry."
"Well, Yuexing, I didn't mean that..."
Yuexing shook her head and signaled Emilia to stop talking.
"Promises are very important to you, as well as to me, but sometimes, what you have to do is more important than following the promise."
"I still don't understand why you helped me..." Emilia said
"How should I put it? There are always a few kind-hearted idiots in this world, such as Subaru. Although he is a little clumsy, his purpose is always good. He is still a child now and will grow up in the future."
Yuexing took out her phone and pulled up the photos
"This is a group photo of us at that time. It was also taken when you knew the news about me."
"This is a photo of Julius and Subaru. On the surface, the two of them really don't get along, but now they don't show any dissatisfaction, right?"
"..."
"As for me, it's just because you are my friend and I don't want to see you being bullied. Well, that's it," Yuexing said
Emilia looked at the moon and stars for a while, then said
"I still don't understand"
"What else don't you understand?"
"about you"
"I?"
"Yuexing, I want to know something about you"
"It can be anything like your family, your past, your hobbies... It seems that Yuexing, you have never opened your heart to anyone, you are always alone. I really... don't know you very well."
Yuexing was silent for a moment, thinking
"Okay, then let me introduce myself again."
"I, Huang Yuexing, am a fool who is in a better situation than Subaru. I like to read, show off my strength, and work hard regardless of my own safety. As for relatives, Subaru counts as one, and half-dragon counts as another. It's better to say that you are all my relatives.
The person I love is..." Yuexing paused here.
Emilia's heart suddenly rose and she looked at Yuexing curiously.
"Rem," Yuexing said with a smile.
"Oh, it's Rem... Huh? Huh?!" Emilia said in surprise.
