Whatever the reason, if Emilia hadn't gone with them to Aram Village, this place might have been rewritten on a large scale.

【why? 】

[Because you want to be the king, Emilia? If so, how can you see your people being threatened by monsters and not go and see for yourself? This is a good opportunity to make a positive impression! ]

[If Master Parker were still alive, he would definitely strongly oppose Subaru's proposal. ]

Rem spoke up at this time.

Although she has become less wary of Subaru because of her interactions with him these days, she has not forgotten that Subaru smells like a witch!

[If you are worried about Emilia's safety, you can add Rosemary to the group that will go down the mountain with you.]

【rosemary?】

Rem blinked. She had not expected that name to come out of Subaru's mouth.

Rosemary obviously looks like a subhuman child. She has severe memory impairment and cannot express her emotions clearly. Overall, she is a child that makes people think of her as weak and pitiful.

In addition, although it is not obvious, Rem and Ram, the sisters who look young, are actually 17 years old. The 14-year-old Rosemary is not only shorter than the two of them, but also looks like a younger sister who needs care.

This little sister once defeated you easily - if Subaru knew what Rem was thinking now, he would definitely complain in his heart, right?

[Don't worry, despite his appearance, Rosemary was in a complicated environment in the past, so he gained special powers - he even called the leader of the place where he used to work an expert in annihilation warfare, isn't it amazing? ]

[…It’s really hard to believe. ]

【…】

Subaru glanced at Rem's slender wrist and nodded in agreement. [Indeed, you can't judge a person by his appearance~]

Rem didn't know what Subaru's eyes meant. Although she felt that Subaru had no ill intentions, the different ideas he put forward at such a critical moment were really very suspicious.

So Rem wanted to say something to remind Emilia, but she thought about it and realized that the current situation was that Subaru was suspicious, not that he was a member of the Witch Cult. So she should try to be more tactful.

Ram took advantage of his sister's thinking and said directly, "I think what Barus said makes sense. I will stay and guard the mansion."

[Onee-sama…? ]

[There is no time to argue any more. That's it, Barrus, do you have any other ideas? ]

[…Oh~oh, there’s actually one more. ]

Subaru didn't expect that Ram would speak up for him when he was around. [Let's take Conan with us, he was the first one to find out that the magic crystal had been damaged, he still remembers where that place is.]

【I see. 】

Ram nodded and asked Emilia. [In this case, the people who will go to Aram Village to check and rescue are Emilia-sama, Rem, Barus and Rosemary, and Conan - is this okay? Emilia-sama. ]

[Eh? Yeah, all right! It's settled.]

[I understand. I will wait for you all to return victoriously at the mansion. Lady Emilia, please come back safely.]

[Okay, thank you, Ram.]

Emilia smiled.

She likes this kind of thing where she can do something for others with her own abilities and get everyone's support.

[Then let's go! Sorry to bother you all, please stay in the mansion and be careful. ]

【I wish you good luck in martial arts. 】

Emilia nodded vigorously and led everyone out of the mansion.

Ram looked at the backs of everyone leaving until their figures completely disappeared from her sight. She then walked forward a few steps and turned to speak to everyone.

[Everyone can go back to your rooms now. Something might happen tonight. If it is not necessary, it is recommended that you do not go out. If you must leave your room to complete something, I hope you can try to find a companion to go with you. ]

【……I see?】

Kotori in sister mode and Paddo who stayed behind looked at each other, and then the more lively Paddo spoke.

[In fact, Subaru left some other requests before he left...]

【oh? 】

Ram raised his eyebrows expressionlessly. [He actually ignored his position as a newcomer and was so arrogant - well, let me hear what he wants to say.]

「So, Subaru said before……」

179

Chapter 179 Chaos.

Emilia, Subaru and the other five quickly headed towards Aram Village.

There were no setbacks during the process. They arrived at Aram Village just like in the second round and successfully completed the negotiations in front of Emilia's leadership charm.

Xia Shi once again became an excuse here.

Subaru used the excuse that "Natsuyo is a very smart kid, maybe he'll discover something" to ask Emilia to go look for Natsuyo who had gone to Petra's house first. However, after knocking on Petra's door, the corporal and Petra were no longer at home.

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest!

The village chief's son, who had originally been not very fond of Emilia, rushed to check on the other children. Not surprisingly, he found that in addition to Petra's family, several of Petra's good friends of the same age had also disappeared.

Emilia immediately asked the old village chief to wake up everyone in the village to help with the search. Without her saying anything, the old village chief had already opened the nearest door and called the villagers in the house to get up and help with their tools.

【This is? 】

While helping to wake up the villagers, Conan sneaked over and handed something to Subaru.

It was a thing that looked like a pair of silver wireless Bluetooth headphones, very small and probably invisible when put into the ear.

[As you might guess, standalone radio receiving equipment.]

[Can it be used in another world?! That's amazing! ! ]

Subaru's voice was a little loud, which made Conan pull his clothes hard, and then he said speechlessly: [It's better to be prepared~. After all, outside the city of Japan, especially walking into the forest and mountains, it's no different from another world. 】

【really. 】

[However, as a device with specialized receiving capabilities, the earphone can only be used for listening, not for transmitting information. ]

【What's the use of this thing? 】

[To remind you when you answer something bad! Also, I have found the location of the broken magic crystal, tell Emilia the news quickly.]

[Oh oh~]

Subaru obediently trotted towards Emilia's direction, and after repeating Conan's words himself, he led Emilia and the old village chief to the location where Conan "discovered" the magic crystal. After confirming the children's footprints, the villagers in the village began to gather in this direction.

Young and middle-aged men and strong women who are confident in their physical fitness form a search team, holding torches, sickles and steel forks and walking into the forest. The elderly and children who have just given birth gather around the village chief's house, using anything they have at hand to protect themselves - everything seems to be exactly the same as in the second week.

【it is good! 】

Subaru clenched his fists excitedly.

The process was exactly the same as in Weekend 2, which meant that their team would still successfully rescue the children.

Next, as long as we return to the mansion immediately after rescuing the children and gather our forces to besiege the Intestine Hunter, today's disaster will be over.

Rem looked at Subaru, who was secretly excited, thoughtfully.

She felt that many things about Subaru tonight were very suspicious.

He made decisions on his own and got excited on his own, as if he knew a lot of things that the locals didn't know. This inevitably made the suspicious Rem suspect that he was involved with something bad and that his unusual behavior tonight was a conspiracy to set a trap.

But after spending the past few days together, Rem thought she had seen through Subaru.

Vain and frivolous, but hard-working and diligent.

In Rem's eyes, Subaru is kind to others and likes Lady Emilia to a degree that Rem cannot understand. Lady Parker also acknowledges that Subaru has no bad intentions.

Even... Subaru is very similar to her in some ways -

There is an infinite brilliance in front of them, a figure that they can only look up to but cannot surpass.

That figure is an elder sister to Rem and a father to Subaru.

They felt inferior and pitiful under that brilliant figure, and wanted to chase after it but were powerless to do so. The cruel reality twisted them into another shape.

——They share the same suffering.

Moreover, no matter what Subaru was thinking in his mind, and no matter why he seemed to know a lot, at least he was worried about the children now, and his happiness for finding the children's traces was definitely not fake.

Therefore, Rem did not want to suspect that Subaru was planning something bad.

Rem thought about it, and finally decided to keep a close eye on Subaru in the dark! As long as he wanted to do something bad, Rem would stop him in the first place!

Let’s do it!

Rem made a quick decision and the search approached the big tree where the children had fallen asleep.

[Hey! Found it! !]

[Are the children all right? ! ! ]

【Very good! ! 】

[Wait, don't touch them yet! ]

Emilia stopped everyone with a soft shout. The parents of the children in the search team wanted to ask anxiously, but were stopped by the villagers around them.

All I can say is: their eyes are not blind.

How can the prejudices shaped by hundreds of years of legends compare to the grace that one has experienced with one's own eyes?

The search team went deep into a dangerous forest filled with monsters, but no one was seriously injured or died along the way except for the unlucky ones who were accidentally attacked by monsters.

This cannot be said to be entirely Emilia's credit, but no matter how biased one is, seeing the white figure standing in the front leading the way for the team, and seeing the ice cones that descended without hesitation when the villagers were in danger, no one's heart is naturally cold and hard.

After the conversation, the children's parents also realized that in the current situation where the children were captured by unknown persons, their acting lord, as a knowledgeable elf warlock, must be able to understand the children's situation better than these country villagers, and thus rescue the children better.

——They now had no doubt that Emilia would save their child.

Subaru quietly stretched out his hand behind him, and Conan slapped it in annoyance.

Emilia approached the children carefully, and Rosemary followed her. There was nothing else unusual nearby.

Emilia then checked on the children and found that they all had some wounds on their bodies that were not covered by clothes.

[…Spell——]

[Spell?! Is it a curse?!]

[What should I do... Curse~]

【My child!!】

[It's okay! Lady Emilia will definitely come up with a good solution! Don't worry! ]

【Yep! 】

Natsuki Subaru took two steps forward, putting himself in front of everyone's sight, and at the same time making Conan's hand that was about to reach out to him fall in vain.

[In fact, there is a super cute and super arrogant drill loli in the mansion - oh, she is an expert in Yin magic, and this level of small curse is not worth mentioning! As long as Lady Emilia asks her for help, the children will be safe! ]

[Is that so? Ah, is that so?]

[Yes! Let’s ask Emilia-sama for help! ]

「Everyone, don’t worry! I’ll ask Beatrice for help! There’s no need to be like this──」

Emilia replied in a panic. [Also, everyone stay alert! Let's retreat back to the village first, and we'll deal with other things later! Okay?]

180

Chapter 180 Warcraft is coming.

Emilia's words were recognized by the villagers, but things did not go so smoothly.

[Monster! Monster is coming! ! ]

[So many! Why are there so many?!]

[Ahhhhhhh, help! Help! ]

As if the time was calculated exactly - no, is that actually the case?

The little girl who calls herself Meili might be watching the situation in the dark. When she saw Emilia successfully find the children, her script automatically turned to the second chapter.

And that was Subaru and the others’ goal.
