However, she was unwilling to force others to make a choice - even if the choice was correct, even if the choice would make her happy.

But at this moment, a little girl with yellow hair who had communicated with Emilia before she took off the cloak that had a cognitive impairment effect came over on her own initiative.

She was originally jogging, but she slowly slowed down her pace amid the exclamations of some people in the crowd. The little girl stood in front of Emilia, looked up at her with a look of certainty and fear, and then suddenly grabbed Emilia's hands with both hands.

[Sister, are you going back? ]

[Eh? ...Yeah, yes~, I will go back after work is finished. ]

[I see~]

The little girl, Petralet, lowered her head in disappointment. She quickly raised her head. [Then, can I play with my sister next time I come? ]

【Ah? Me? You and me?】

[Petra! Nonsense!]

【Come back soon! 】

【Petra! 】

The little blond girl stuck out her tongue and made a face at the adults behind her who were anxiously calling her name, then turned around and nodded happily.

[Yeah! Not only me, but my other friends also want to play with my sister! ]

[Is this so?...Is this really okay? No, I understand!]

Emilia quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.

[I made a promise with you that I will play with you guys next time we meet! ]

[It’s a promise~]

Chapter 175: Clear the level with one life.

Emilia and her group returned to the mansion.

Although she was treated coldly by the villagers, Emilia was obviously in a very good mood after communicating with Petra.

That's true~ Compared to the dirty and complicated adults, the evaluation and acceptance of children who have pure hearts and whose emotions are clearly visible on their faces is obviously gratifying.

[Petra! My God! ! ]

Natsuki Subaru clasped his hands and looked up at the sky, as if he was praying, but Ram, who was traveling with him, didn't buy it.

[Blocking the way! ]

【Wow! 】

Because the place where Subaru was "praying" was in the middle of the road, Ram, who was holding two bags of potatoes, kicked him without any hesitation.

Subaru protected himself with his hands to avoid getting his face disfigured by the ground, but the sudden kick still annoyed him and he waved his fist and shouted: "Hey Ramu! Even if being trampled by a beautiful girl is a reward for some people, there is no one in the world who will be moved to tears by being kicked by a beautiful girl! Apologize to me now! It's so dangerous, what if you get disfigured!"

Sunado Taro: No, I think this is also good...

Darkness: Ohhh!! Do you understand?! The moment after the blow was like an electric current passing through my body! And the pain that came from deep inside my body after the blow!

Kanhara Suruga: That's right! Pain is a "lady's hobby". Humans are born in pain, grow up in pain, and pain accompanies people. It can be said that pain is the essence of human beings! Yes! It's instinct! It's human instinct to pursue pain~, and it's also human instinct to be happy because of pain!

Kanhara Suruga: Because it is human nature to feel and enjoy pain, there is no need to be ashamed or to escape! Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and gained shame - that is, facing one's shame is the symbol of recreating the greatest cycle of life since the birth of mankind! It is the snake that crawls upward in reverse Kabbalah!

Hapshell: Ahhhhh~, I didn't expect that there are believers in other worlds who are so spiritual to the Lord's will~, it's so touching!! Love & Peace~

Izumi Segawa: ...Is this fetish something so sacred and amazing...Ahahaha~

Darkness: I felt something was wrong yesterday, too.

Sarutobi Ayame: You really don't understand at all~. The so-called pain is the wear of love! The more love, the more pain! Of course - as a lady, the pain of love can be a hobby, and the pain without love is just pure desire. Young people should grasp the difference between the two~

Kannazuki Kyohei: That's right! If I were to say who I love, it would be the great Commander! I love the Commander with all my heart ahh ...

Itsuka Kotori: You pervert! I'll deal with you later!

It can be said that Natsuki Subaru has a wide range of interests. There is no XP that he particularly dislikes. Apart from the particularly heavy-tasting XP, he can also respect those niche XPs.

But enjoying pain, especially pain without any love, was really too much for him.

If anyone is going to kick, at least it has to be Emilia!

Since the person who kicked him wasn’t Emilia, Subaru made a complaint as a matter of course.

They were not walking on a soft trampoline. What if his face rubbed against the ground, making his already ferocious appearance even more likely to scare the children?

[Don't worry, when the time comes, let Rem use healing magic to help you get rid of it. ]

[This statement is so scary! ]

Natsuki Subaru tried his best to make jokes. He didn't want to think about other things, as that would make him feel so heavy that he couldn't act.

[By the way, I suddenly thought of something - if I ask Rem and Emilia to help me cast healing magic right after my exercise, then I won't have to be so tired every day?! ]

[This is a good idea~, wouldn't it be interesting if the incompetent Barus continued to be incompetent? ]

【What's the meaning? ! 】

[Because healing magic will also restore the results of training~]

Rem, who had established a fairly friendly relationship with Subaru due to Subaru’s efforts over the past few days, helped explain.

[It's a trap! ]

Subaru raised his hands to the sky at one side, his expression horrified.

At this time, Parker rolled his eyes and whispered something to Emilia's ear. Emilia immediately showed a worried expression after hearing it.

She looked around at Subaru, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Conan, who was walking behind and watching the interaction of the people in front, sighed and said in a childish voice again -

[I’m so tired, Subaru-nii, I can’t carry it any more——Can you help me carry some of it? ]

【Oh, ok, no problem! 】

Natsuki Subaru showed off his inconspicuous biceps through his clothes, then staggered over to Conan and picked up a bag of bottles and cans in his hand.

Conan took this opportunity to whisper in Subaru's ear: "I know you're worried about those kids, so didn't we leave Xia Shi there?"

【but……】

Reactive planning... or you could say it's about taking advantage of the situation.

It sounds like an extremely sophisticated series of calculations, but no matter how sophisticated the plan is, it cannot escape the fact that it ignores the fact that the children will be captured by the monster master.

[Or add rosemary too...]

[Don't be silly, Rosemary still has her own work to do, and the children will be fine! In any case, living children are more useful than dead ones. ]

[Such a statement - you can't guarantee that the other party will do this, right? They are bad people who will kill without hesitation! ]

[People will not actively choose a future that is disadvantageous to themselves, unless the short-term disadvantage to themselves will be exchanged for longer-term benefits - the opponent is the person who commands the monster, not the monster itself. Since it is a human, the opponent will choose the future that he thinks is beneficial. ]

[…Did Sherlock Holmes also say this?]

[No, it was the famous detective Kudo Shinichi who said that.]

[Vincent~]

Subaru's expression improved a little. Conan lowered his voice and said, "Yes, that's it. Keep in good shape, we have a tough battle tonight."

[Ah, that's right! ]

Natsuki Subaru looked forward with a determined look.

——Emilia, Rem, and Ram.

This time, he doesn't want to lose any!

【Let’s “pass the level with one life”! 】

[Although it’s more than one life~]

[What’s important is the mood! The mood! ]

Crusch Karsten: Is it finally about to begin?

Anastasia Hesin: As a drama, the foreshadowing before Gao Chao's opening is quite brilliant. You can imagine that what is happening above is not just a drama, but also something that is about to happen in reality. I wish the actors could just say what happened on the last page of the script~

176

Chapter 176 begins.

In order to successfully overcome the difficulties tonight, Natsuki Subaru and the others made a lot of plans.

Firstly, the spell that would kill someone if they were bitten and not discovered was too dangerous, so after considering it, the Transfer Team would definitely leave Xia Shi in Aram Village, and then use this excuse to ask Emilia to search the village at night.

Secondly, the team searching the village is basically the same as before, minus the addition of Rosemary and Conan, who claim to be good at large-scale annihilation warfare.

Next, the servants who stayed in the mansion took shelter in advance, and Kotori, Ram, and Goblin Slayer fought against the Gut Hunter together. Paddy was responsible for watching Kotori to prevent her from going berserk, and Betty acted as a killer to ensure victory.

At last……

【Be careful, Roswaal.】

Roswaal L. Metzas:?

Looking at Conan who reminded him seriously before taking action, Subaru Natsuki's face was no less confused than Roswaal himself outside the light curtain.

[What's going on? Why should we be on guard against Roswaal? He's one of us, right?]

Natsuki Subaru began to doubt the value of the title of famous detective.

Although that person was a little suspicious, as he was a noble but dressed himself up as a clown and spoke in a strange voice, Subaru actually had a good impression of him.

Subaru and Roswaal didn't have much contact, but in the few conversations they had, Roswaal showed his friendliness and generosity.

He will generously reward strangers who help his chosen lord, and will make objective judgments in conflicts between servants and guests in the mansion.

This judgment is not necessarily in Subaru's favor, but it is also the reason that illustrates Roswaal's character.

【Could it be that you are wrong? 】

Even without considering Subaru's impression of Roswaal, Roswaal is also a supporter of Emilia.

He once heard his white moonlight say during a casual chat: The reason why Emilia participated in the King's Competition and wanted to become the king of the Kingdom of Lugnica was because she was invited by Roswaal.

So in terms of camp, Roswaal and Emilia should be bound together.

It was impossible for him to take the initiative to do anything that was detrimental to the lord he had chosen, let alone attack his hometown and kill the lord and important servants selected by him.

This doesn't make any sense at all!

Apart from this, they didn't know much about Roswaal's reputation in the kingdom, but at least in Aram Village, the villagers had a very good impression of their lord.

——This, to some extent, became the reason why Subaru believed in Roswaal.

Yes, Natsuki Subaru actually sensed something suspicious about Roswaal.

Burnt Salt Lemon: Huh? What's going on?! I don't quite understand... Isn't Rozwaal a supporter of Emilia? Just like Subaru said.

Kirikiri Kyouko: There are many points that are worthy of suspicion, and the three most important ones are probably. However, the motive is unclear - considering Roswaal's purpose and his actions, the several profiles of him are seriously disconnected.

Inoue Takina: I don't understand. Isn't this proof that Roswaal is not suspicious?

Yuki Suho: Three major doubts... huh? Are there so many?

Conan replied: [From your appearance, you also vaguely noticed the asymmetry of Roswaal, right? ]

Horikita Suzune:......

Fujiwara Chika: Oh no, I'm even dumber than Natsuki-san!

Natsuki Subaru: Hey! What does "still" mean? Still!?

【But……?!】

[Don't argue about this right now, we're about to take action. I'll just point out a few doubts, just keep them in mind and be alert to your surroundings.]

【Oh...what's the doubt?】

[First, the person who stole Emilia's King Selection Badge in the capital was Firut, and according to your memory, the person who hired Firut was the Gut Hunter Elsa. Then, who hired Elsa to steal the King Selection Badge? ]

[Where to start?! ]

Natsuki Subaru was startled. He did notice something suspicious about Roswaal, but he didn't doubt him from the beginning.
