Yuexing opened her eyes. The sun was not so strong at this time. A faint dark cloud blocked a lot of intense sunlight.
Crusch went back alone after that. Yuexing now couldn't help but feel that what he said at that time was a bit rash.
"Yuexing..."
At this moment Rem suddenly came to Yuexing's side
Yuexing straightened up and sat up, looking at Rem suspiciously.
"What happened? Your expression is so serious."
"Something happened...come with me" Rem turned to leave
Yuexing immediately stood up and followed him
"In the end what happened?"
"I... sensed something. Something happened at Roswaal Mansion." Rem finished quickly.
"Induction? It's Ram, right? Could it be that..."
"Well, let's go to the reception room first and discuss it in detail. Subaru is already waiting there."
Yuexing knew in her heart that when something like this happened, it meant that the most dangerous situation had arrived for the first time.
Yuexing nodded and followed Rem to the reception room.
…
"Moon Star"
As soon as he opened the door, Subaru called Yuexing's name with the same serious expression.
In the room, Subaru stood up, Crusch sat on the master's seat, Phyllis and Wilhelm stood on both sides, the atmosphere was serious
"Judging from the looks of it, you've heard about it, right?" Crusch asked as if he understood completely.
"I roughly know what's going on, but I still want to hear the specifics," Yuexing said.
"What Rem feels is just the same feeling as onee-sama. If it is onee-sama's clairvoyance, he should be able to know the more detailed situation..." Lowering his eyes, Rem's words are full of lack of strength.
unwilling
"Community - I heard that they are twins of some demihuman vampires, or that they can communicate without using language... Is it possible even in places as far away as the Royal Capital and Roswaal territory?
" Crusch asked
"As I said, these words can only roughly convey strong feelings or strong wishes, but..."
"Looks like it's a very dangerous empathy cat."
Phyllis sat behind Crusch, always posing in a frivolous manner, with her cat ears trembling.
Subaru frowned on the side. Just as Yuexing was about to remind him, Subaru took a deep breath and regained his expression.
"Do you know anything?" Subaru asked
"Mezzas's territory, that is, the territory of Earl Roswaal's border, seems to have found troublesome movements around his mansion. Part of the territory has already been put on alert under his order."
"What troublesome action? What's going on with the alert?" Subaru asked next.
"Actually, we don't know exactly what happened in the Roswaal Territory, but this is also what we expected from the beginning. The Earl of the Border supported Emilia as a candidate for the king - that is, to express support.
It started when I was a half-elf"
"The strike...is the voice of dissatisfaction erupting from the people of the territory?" Subaru sat on the sofa
"Of course, there is a possibility. As long as the reputation of the jealous witch continues to spread, the battle with the prejudiced enemy called the half-elf will be inevitable."
"I don't know anything, those people..." Subaru said angrily
"Put the specific things aside for now. Generally speaking, what happened is true, and Rem's empathy can also prove it." Yuexing looked at the silent Rem.
"The feeling conveyed by onee-sama is that of a lot of anxiety and anger... It was not conveyed deliberately, but was revealed inadvertently."
"Common sense, I don't remember that we communicated with each other so frequently," Yue Xing said.
"Yes, to a certain extent, it is deliberately controlled. In this case, it should be conveyed beyond onee-sama's control."
When he said the second half, Rem could no longer hide his uneasiness in his words.
Yuexing is very aware of Ram's self-control. If someone with a face like that can't control it, it means that the situation has fallen into a crisis state.
"Are you trying to prevent this from getting involved...?" Yuexing said in surprise.
"No, we have to save them... We have to save them," Subaru said anxiously
"No, you can't, Subaru." Rem looked at Subaru in a panic, and unconsciously grabbed Yuexing's clothes with his hands.
Rem's eyes showed anxiety, hesitation, and a look of sad pleading.
"Emilia-sama, if Roswaal-sama's instructions are not followed, Subaru should concentrate on treatment. Rem agrees with the same opinion. The current body should be treated first, and Yuexing also..."
"It's okay, Rem"
Yuexing stretched out her left hand and gently touched Rem's head. Rem was surprised and raised his head to look at Yuexing blankly.
Yuexing's hand touched Rem's cheek along the sky-blue hair, wiped the corners of his blue eyes with his thumb, and looked directly at Rem
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. Just like in the Warcraft Forest, just do it. Now you have the ability, right?"
"..."
After listening to Yuexing's words, Rem's pained expression froze, and his hands tightened on Yuexing's clothes.
"That's it, brother," Subaru said
"We have to go back to the house...go back to Emilia and get treatment until the matter is resolved."
"Nazuki Subaru"
Subaru's voice was drowned out by Crusch's short cry.
"——If you go out from here, you will become my enemy." Crusch said coldly and sharply.
"This, what is this..."
"First of all, let me correct your way of thinking. I regard you as a guest and let Phyllis treat you solely because of the contract."
"contract……?"
"Yes, contract. Regarding your treatment, there is a contract between Emilia and I. I entertained you as guests at home because of the mortgage, but..." The words were very ordinary, and Crusch took the initiative.
Put it on your chest to show yourself
"The contract was made before the King's Selection began. It is different from the current situation. Since you have become a political opponent publicly, you have to be cautious when negotiating with Emilia's political opponents. The same goes for the contract related to your treatment. The King's Selection
There is no obligation to continue to abide by the contract before the start of the King's Selection even if the situation changes."
"The time when the situation changes is when you leave. If we let go of the contract on the way, there will be no hatred for each other after that, and Emilia and I will become enemies."
"What is this, a declaration of hostility?" Yuexing said calmly.
"If your understanding of consciousness is like this, then it is like this," Crusoe said
"The key point is that it would be very troublesome if Emilia was released from the crisis, so you don't want me to go?" Subaru asked
"...Nya, I'm still mistaken about that..." Felice's gaze, which contained danger, made Subaru swallow back his words.
"What Crusch-sama is doing now is not to cause harm but to be gentle. Even if three people go to rescue Emilia and come back, there will be no loss at all, right?"
"Phyllis, step back."
"No, no, because the misunderstanding is a bit serious, so it won't do for anyone to tell me about this, nya."
Ignoring Crusch's stop, Felice stared at Subaru
"Even if Subaru goes away, the situation will not change. There is no point in going. Also, the contract that Emilia made with equal compensation will be useless. Just stay here and wait for the result.
The right choice is to focus on healing your body while doing so.”
Subaru stood up with a huff.
"Sit down and calm down," Yuexing glanced at Subaru and said.
"Although it is a bit irresponsible, I must go back. Thank you for your hospitality over the past month." Yuexing sighed, stood up and said solemnly
"Moonstar!" Rem begged.
Yuexing blocked Rem and shook her head.
Crusch, who was holding his arms and closing his eyes, said nothing, while Phyllis next to him let out a long sigh.
"You don't even know people's moods... Do you think you have the value of being a man if you accept advice honestly?"
"I made up my mind thanks to your advice, thank you very much"
Subaru simply returned the sarcasm, and Phyllis seemed to give up and say no more.
Crusch put down his arms and looked up at this side
"I'm sorry, all the dragon carriages used for long-distance travel have already been designated for use. The only ones that can be borrowed are the slow ones for transporting goods and the fast ones for mid-distance running."
"Ah?" Subaru said in surprise
"Phyllis, did I say something strange?"
"Crush-sama's switch, Subaru-chan, you don't think you'll even lend out the dragon carriage, right?"
After hearing Felice's answer, Crusch nodded with an accepting expression.
"As you said, I respect your decision. No matter what judgment you make, implementing your decision will come with great responsibility. And since you have to bear the responsibility, you should do it for what you want to do.
, in order not to bring shame to one’s own soul—is that right?”
"Since I can understand, there isn't much more to say." Yuexing nodded.
After hearing such a speech, Rem closed his eyes once as if blaming himself, but when he opened his eyes again, he returned to his usual expressionless face.
"On behalf of the master, I would like to express my gratitude for your kindness so far."
"It doesn't matter, this edition is also profitable, so about going to the territory."
"It's shameless, but if I can get a helping hand, I would like to confirm the safety of the territory faster."
Lowering his head, Rem accepted Crusch's kindness.
"However, the timing is too bad. It now takes two and a half days to get from the royal capital to Mezzas Territory."
"More than two days?! Why? Didn't it only take half a day when you came here?!"
"This is impossible. The Levons street that I used when I came here cannot be used now. The time is too bad and [fog] appears on the street... Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the street."
"What the hell is fog? As long as there is a breakthrough..."
"It's the [Beluga Whale] that creates the fog, nya? If you encounter it in the fog, you'll be dead. Even Yuexing knows this kind of thing, nya."
"Yuexing! Where's your magic! The one that appeared in front of you in an instant!" Subaru turned to Yuexing and shouted
"It's a pity that that thing only exists on my body and Rem's body. There's nothing I can do about it. If I had known, I would have made one in the bedroom..."
"Is there no other way to get back faster?" Subaru squatted on the ground holding his head, looking depressed.
"If I were alone, I could go back to the mansion through the entire forest in less than half a day, but..."
"Well Yuexing, why don't you rush back first and then pick us up?" Subaru looked at Yuexing expectantly.
"But... I am the only one who can go back... To be honest, I cannot solve the crisis encountered in the mansion, and I may even die there..." Yuexing's voice became smaller and smaller.
So small that only Subaru can hear it
"Even Yue Xing can't do anything... What about Rem? This must be enough!" Subaru didn't want to give up.
"No, we can only take one step at a time." Yuexing shook his head and sighed.
fell into silence for a while
[I'm sorry, Subaru, it's my selfishness. I don't know if everything I have done can develop according to the trajectory of history. I have changed the whole story subtly. Is it luck or a catastrophe? I have no choice.
Correctly foresaw] Yuexing looked at the blue sky outside the hall quietly, with an indelible boulder in his heart.
