Although he didn't think much about it when Remum attacked just now, he was protected by Rosemary, and saw Ram, who also belonged to the mansion, rushing to support them and showing a hostile attitude towards them. Natsuki Subaru vaguely felt that everything that was going to happen might be completely different from his expectations.

[Why did you hurt Ram's sister? ! ]

[…This is really surprising. ]

Natsuki Subaru opened his eyes wide. Didn't Ram, her elder sister, know about Rem's actions? Maybe there was a chance for a turnaround?

[Because your sister wants to kill my companions. ]

[Rem...]

[Sister——]

There was no need to say much, just a glance and Ram understood Rem's thoughts.

As a sister, it was her fault for not stopping Rem when she was in action. But now that her sister and the guest had started fighting, Ram didn't need to think about which side to stand on.

[Ram will not apologize. Although Rem was impulsive, her actions were not without reason. If you really have no problem, please give up resistance and go with us to see Lord Roswaal and Lady Emilia. If Lord Roswaal thinks you have no problem, Ram is willing to apologize to you.]

[No, onee-sama! ]

[Rem, don't speak yet! ]

【what to do? 】

Natsuki Subaru came to Rosemary and lowered his head. The other side gave him a step down, and he didn't know how to judge.

At first, Rosemary was just a weak and indecisive little girl in his eyes, but her performance just now surprised Natsuki Subaru.

It's not just the powerful superhuman strength, but also the decisiveness in Rosemary's actions and the somewhat cold side that seems to Natsuki Subaru.

The feeling was unfamiliar to him, but it also gave Rosemary a more capable temperament.

So when he was confused, Natsuki Subaru subconsciously sought the advice of the reliable Miss Cat.

Miss Cat had no objection.

In her opinion, it was natural to enter the negotiation stage after the opponent gave up resistance.

Only when Rosemary walked past Rem, she gently said "I hate you", which showed that she was not without thoughts about what happened tonight.

However, this had no effect on Rem who was in a furious mood.

Chapter 152 Expulsion, separation and agreement.

[I’m so sorry~, it seems I can’t let you guys come down here for the time being~]

[…I understand! ]

Because such a serious incident had occurred in which a maid in the mansion attacked a guest at night, after the two sides stopped fighting, all the people in charge in the mansion were called out of bed.

And the previous sentence was the final result of their discussion - Natsuki Subaru and Rosemary were no longer allowed to stay in Roswaal Mansion.

Natsuki Subaru had expected this outcome to some extent. After all, Rem really wanted to kill him, so no matter how you looked at it, it was unlikely that he could stay in the mansion, right?

Natsuki Subaru did not feel particularly sorry about this, although Roswaal was indeed a good place, with free food and accommodation, and the opportunity to learn things.

Considering the lives of the villagers in Aram Village that he had come into contact with, living in the mansion should be better than the living conditions of most ordinary people in this world.

But this matter was beyond his control.

Who could have thought that the good friend he got along with so well in the previous week would want to kill him this weekend?

Compared to not being able to stay in the mansion with better living conditions, what Natsuki Subaru regrets most is that he will not be able to see Emilia anytime after leaving the mansion.

That’s right! This matter is the most painful and difficult for him!

However, there was one thing that surprised him: after Roswaal announced that he would expel Natsuki Subaru and Rosemary, the other children who were called up because they were Natsuki Subaru's companions all expressed their desire to go with Natsuki Subaru.

[You guys... this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to leave with me! ]

Natsuki Subaru wanted them to stay here.

Unlike Natsuki Subaru, the children are too young. Kotori may have various situations, but the character she shows now is just a cute and delicate little girl who grew up in modern society and has not experienced any hardships. Letting these children leave the relatively affluent living environment of Roswaal Mansion and live with them may very likely lead to a precarious life with no food to eat. Natsuki Subaru feels that this is not a rational choice for both parties.

[I want to go with Brother Natsuki! 】

Conan Edogawa: We have only been here for a few days, and leaving the team without knowing how to get back is definitely a sign of Bad End.

【Conan (◢д◣)~】

Natsuki Subaru was deeply moved by the fact that Conan could firmly choose himself and abandon his comfortable life at this time.

[…I want to be with Conan, Rosemary, and Natsuyo! ]

Itsuka Kotori (white): I don’t want to be separated from everyone—

Kotori Itsuka (black): There's something strange about this man, and Roswaal is so weird! In this special period, a maid who could go berserk at any time, and a kind noble wearing clown makeup? If this were a puzzle game, the protagonist would definitely not be able to figure out what's going on here unless he dies 10 or 8 times.

【Kotori-chan~~】

Natsuki Subaru felt that this was indeed the case.

As a person of the opposite sex who is older than Kotori, there is no chance for him and Kotori to improve their relationship. During his observations yesterday, he had already discovered that Kotori had another side that made her suitable to be a sister, so it was not surprising that Kotori chose to act with her "brothers and sisters" at this time.

[I want to go with you all~]

Xia Shi: Life here is indeed very good, but compared to the comfort in life, the spiritual bond is what I pursue... It is a luxury that I can make such an arrogant choice.

[Xia Shi...]

With Kotori's foreshadowing, Natsuyo's choice is not surprising. Similarly, Goblin Slayer, who originally stayed to take care of the children, immediately said that he would leave with everyone else.

[Subaru, Kotori, Goblin Slayer... Everyone—]

Emilia's emotions were mixed, but she mainly felt sad and regretful.

As the other owner of the mansion, she felt that she had her own responsibility for Rem's attempt to attack Natsuki Subaru.

Although she didn't know why Rem did this, Emilia knew that Rem was a good child.

There must be something wrong!

Emilia thought so intuitively.

She wanted Natsuki Subaru and the others to stay in the mansion, stay with her.

Because of her iconic appearance, no one has ever been willing to stay by her side since she woke up in the forest of her hometown.

Roswaal gathered around her because she was profitable, and Rem and Ram were close to him because they were maids in the mansion, and serving Emilia was Roswaal's order.

Others, even those in Aram Village under the jurisdiction of Mezasling, would be afraid and wary after seeing her taboo appearance.

If there is a child around, she will hide the child. If she must talk to her, she will even tremble and shake when speaking.

Her appearance is so intimidating, and that's why, when Natsuki Subaru talks to her without hesitation and says interesting things to her, and Kotori, Natsuyo, and Rosemary are never afraid of her and communicate with her on an equal footing, Emilia feels a joy of being close to redemption in her heart.

These two days were almost the happiest days for Emilia since she woke up!

But... it is because she cherishes Subaru, Kotori and the others that Emilia cannot try to keep Subaru and the others at this time.

Her connection with the Witch Cult, the dangerous election of the King... There is a limit to how much she can be willful and act like a spoiled child in the name of repaying a favor.

After the danger even appeared around her, or in other words, from her own people, Emilia no longer had any reason to keep Natsuki Subaru and the others.

This is for the good of everyone, for the safety of Subaru and the others.

[Don't be like this, Emilia. It's not like we'll never see each other again.]

Natsuki Subaru reached out and touched his nose.

After seeing the obvious reluctance and regret on Emilia's face, Natsuki Subaru calmed down.

Since separation was inevitable, he wanted to leave his beloved girl in a more elegant way. So he forced himself to feel sad, made a heroic gesture with both hands, made a cross on his chest, and then pointed his right thumb at himself.

[Seeing your expression now, I am already satisfied. Even if you say that I am a man who is easily satisfied, it doesn’t matter, because this is me——Natsuki Subaru who cares about Emilia the most in the world! ! ]

[Subaru-kun——]

[Hey, hey, hey, don't cry! Doesn't this make me seem ~like I'm being sentimental~? ~That's not the case, absolutely not! I just want to say, remember the Natsuki Subaru you see now! I promised you that the next time you see me, I will definitely be a man 10 times more powerful and 100 times more handsome than the me in front of you! ]

[And you have to be 10 times stronger than you are now! Beautiful——this is impossible! Emilia is already the most beautiful girl in the world! If she is 100 times more beautiful, the world will be in chaos because of you! ]

Natsuki Subaru changed his thumb to his index finger and pointed it at Emilia. No matter what emotions the gazes from the people around him contained, Natsuki Subaru regarded them as encouragement and blessings at this moment.

[So don’t cry! Work hard for our promise! ]

【Looking forward to the day we meet next time! 】

[Yes,...Yes! Yes! We made a promise! You must not forget it!]

[Yes. It’s a deal! ]

153

Chapter 153 A promise that is destined to fail.

After making the coolest promise in his life so far, riding on the wind of his proud heart, Natsuki Subaru was no longer dejected. He left the mansion with his arms crossed and his chest puffed out, as if he had just won a great victory not long ago.

He was surrounded by four children, 1234, and the only adult was wearing the worn-out full body armor he wore when he came here. He moved meticulously, and the distance between his steps seemed to be measured with a ruler. Combined with his taciturn personality, he did not look like a living person, but rather like the legendary monster "moving armor" in the dungeon.

Before they left, Roswaal gave them a large sum of holy gold coins as compensation. This money was enough for them to live a carefree life for a year at the standard of living of the citizens of the royal capital.

Since he hadn't decided where to go next, Natsuki Subaru headed towards the capital because Roswaal had casually mentioned it. He would decide where to go next based on his thoughts at the time.

In addition, before leaving, Natsuki Subaru did not forget to remind Emilia. He said that he had discovered traces of the Witch Cult's activities nearby, and told Emilia not to forget to guard against the village chief's barrier and a little girl with purple hair at the foot of the mountain.

Having said that, Natsuki Subaru didn't think that the Beast Master and the Gut Hunter could cause any more trouble - he had already understood what kind of person this funny-looking clown Count Roswaal was.

In a nutshell, although the earl does not have any decent army, family soldiers, or private troops under his command, the kingdom's expectation of him is to suppress all the monsters in the Monster Forest and the military intentions of neighboring countries in the direction of the Mezas territory.

One person suppresses a country...one direction.

Natsuki Subaru thinks this statement is a bit exaggerated, but Roswaal's strength can be seen in this exaggeration.

【What is the next action plan? 】

Unexpectedly, the person who asked this question was Goblin Slayer.

Honestly speaking, no matter how much they are companions, if he puts himself in her shoes, if Natsuki Subaru is not Natsuki Subaru, he would probably blame Natsuki Subaru for doing something to anger the maid.

Even if he did nothing wrong, it is an indisputable fact that he caused everyone to lose their stable living conditions.

In this situation, he thought that the promise of leadership that he had snatched as a joke since arriving in the other world had been snatched away and trampled on the ground without a sound, and the person who took over the right to speak was naturally the oldest Goblin Slayer in the team.

As a result, Goblin Slayer didn't seem to care at all about Natsuki Subaru's previous behavior.

[Well, ah, ah ah - I want to go to the capital first. The capital of a country has excellent opportunities for development and conditions for understanding the world, right? And I think Padu might be in the capital now.]

[Pado? ]

[Yes, it would be nice if I could reunite with her who left earlier. ]

Rather, now that he has lost Emilia, Natsuki Subaru urgently needs Padu, who is very gentle to him, to soothe his wounded heart.

If it's the cute, lively and sunny Padu, Natsuki Subaru is confident that he can recover the lost energy within a day!

Alicia: Haha~, oh my, you have a good eye~. Padu is everyone's happy fruit. I think one day, everyone will be infected by Padu and laugh happily. Maybe everyone will hold hands together. I didn't expect that my little thought was discovered in advance~

Mebius: Give up. That future will never come.

Padofilis: Haha... I also think that Ellie is exaggerating. How could I possibly have that kind of magic? Only Ellie and Eden can do this, right?

Eden: Only you yourself do not understand how precious you are - but this may be the way for you to preserve this preciousness.

Padufils: Sister Eden, are you drunk again?

Sato Kazuma: But I don't know what to say about the clown Count Roswaal who drove people away like that. Stingy? Cautious? Or protecting his own shortcomings?

Kurisukal Sten: During a sensitive period like the King Selection Meeting, trial and error requires several times more cost than usual. Forgive Lord Roswaal. Compared with other candidates for the throne, he has less cost to make trial and error.

Anisfiarven Paredia: The throne? I don't understand why so many people are scrambling for such a troublesome thing.

Duncan: Oh, young man, the taste of power is more fragrant than the most mellow red wine. When you have spent your whole life studying and loving the things you have studied and loved, and you see that what you have studied and loved for your whole life is just a casual remark from a powerful person, who in the world would voluntarily give up power? Saying such a thing is just a proof that you are still too young and have not experienced setbacks.

Justiana von Astraea: I think that a king is someone who works hard for the happiness of all citizens. If he pursues the throne only for his own selfish desires, he will definitely become a bad king, right?

Duncan: Why not make your desires the desires of the people? Power and selfishness are not things that must be separated.

Lalatassarin Debiluk: But being a king is really troublesome. Even my father is always trying to find an heir, and he always introduces me to blind dates for this purpose! I just couldn't stand this and ran away from home!

Tia Mithrin Greyford: You are actually evading your responsibilities as a king! It seems that your father does not have the awareness of my mother!
