Watch the movie supporting role replacement, the doctor is back to health

She would never do something that would show her weakness.

So she just crossed her legs and folded her arms across her chest, making a pressure-filled movement, and then took advantage of the height of the bed to look down at Subaru.

【Tell me what happened. 】

Subaru nodded blankly.

Was he surprised by the change in Kotori?

Of course I was surprised.

However, compared to what he had initially worried about, that the BOSS would become enraged and start killing people after his true identity was discovered, the current situation was not that bad.

But, the cute and healing little sister turned into a strict class teacher?

——It seems like I feel a little repulsive, but also a little reliable~

Natsuki Subaru repeated the information he knew.

Because it was not the first time he did this, his words this time became more concise and to the point. With Conan adding a sentence or asking a question from time to time, everyone present understood what had happened "in the past" and what would happen in the future.

Looking at everyone who was discussing in low voices, Natsuki Subaru was moved.

Moved, moved, his eyes suddenly focused, he raised his hands and slapped himself twice. The crisp sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.

【What the hell are you doing~, 486. 】

Kotori, who has turned into Black Kotori mode, will speak without mercy, but after getting used to it, Subaru finds that he is unexpectedly more adapted to this sharp-tongued version of Kotori.

[Ah~, it's nothing, it's just that looking at you now, I feel that I was so stupid in the past! When I encountered difficulties, I just needed to speak out and ask everyone to help. ]

[Then you are a fool~]

Subaru, who just said that he liked the sharp-tongued version of Kotori, suddenly wanted to take back his words.

[Although we moved to this world from another world together, it's not wrong to say that we are companions. But in the final analysis, we don't know each other, nor are we familiar with each other's past experiences and personalities. You said such an important thing without thinking, are you trying to use a necessary death to get important information? ]

[That’s good too~]

Subaru said stubbornly. Kotori waved her hand unceremoniously.

[Forget it~, I advise you not to think like that. So far, before you took the initiative to tell me your ability, three people have already guessed your ability based on clues, right? ]

【This--】

[People in this world may find it difficult to imagine concepts such as reincarnation, cycle, and time travel due to their own knowledge, and it is difficult for them to use them as the result and basis for inference, but the suspicious things about you are enough for those who are suspicious to torture you - do you have the willpower to keep the secret even under torture? ]

[Who can do such a thing? ]

[If you can't do it, confess quickly and then find a way to commit suicide! Otherwise, a time reincarnation can keep you in a state of extreme pain but not death. Who knows if your ability will be activated after you die of old age.]

Natsuki Subaru muttered a few words and stopped talking.

Although he could continue arguing, that would be of no help at all. Secondly, he was afraid that if he said a few more words, Kotori, who seemed to have no patience, might fight him in person.

It means that the other party unilaterally beat him.

After seeing Subaru shut up, Kotori turned around and continued the discussion with everyone. However, after listening for a while, Subaru interrupted the conversation again by shouting.

【Ahhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhhh——Uu ...

[What are you doing, kid? Are you trying to cause trouble?! ]

Subaru, who was beaten by Kotori just as he had expected, stood up from the ground, holding his shoulder.

He had to interrupt Kotori's discussion because Kotori was planning to have everyone evacuate the mansion!

[There's no need to evacuate the mansion, right? What about Emilia? If we leave it alone, Emilia will be killed by the Gut Hunter just like in the last round!]

【What does it have to do with us?】

【What did you say? ! 】

Natsuki Subaru was really a little angry. However, not only Kotori, but even Conan said: "Objectively speaking, we do not have any reason to risk our lives to help Emilia."

[Conan! Why you too!? ]

[——But, I want to help her. ]

【what? 】

Subaru sprained his waist due to Conan's sharp turn. He looked at Conan in surprise, but saw Conan looking at Kotori with a smile.

[How about it? Just consider it as a favor to both of us. You don't want that naive girl to meet with any misfortune, do you?]

【cut! 】

Kotori sat down with a gloomy face. She crossed her arms in front of her chest to show her resistance, but she did not say anything to object.

But Subaru has taken note! Among these companions, Kotori in venomous tongue mode is the most heartless. Don't trust her when you encounter important things in the future! If you want to trust someone, trust Conan!

Subaru crossed his arms to protest. Natsuyo, who was sitting next to him, tugged at his shirt, and when Subaru looked over, he shook his head slightly.

Subaru didn't understand what she meant.

At the discussion center, after rejecting one action plan, Kotori took charge of the next one.

[We have to protect our safety as well as the lives of the people in the mansion... This is not difficult, all that's left is to choose a method. ]

[What method should I choose? ]

Subaru acted like he was being difficult, but Kotori didn't care at all.

[If you want to break it down into different categories, there are as many as you want. In summary, there are only two: active and passive.]

【……What's the meaning? 】

[Taking the initiative means the same as what you did last week, making arrangements in advance to disrupt the opponent's layout, waiting for them to tire themselves out and taking the initiative - although you failed in the end before they could close the net~]

【you--! ! 】

【Then there is the passive mode - do nothing and wait for the opponent to attack. 】

[Huh?! What kind of solution is this! ]

[——No, this is a good idea.]

[Conan, whose side are you on?]

【I stand on the side of truth and justice. 】

Conan said lightly. Seeing Natsuki Subaru's unhappy expression, he waited for a while and finally saw that he had calmed down before continuing.

[If you choose to be proactive, there are too many variables, just like in the third round, you don't know when new variables will be introduced. ]

[In the final analysis, we still know too little about this world. Before today, we even lacked understanding of our own people who we call companions. What are the people in this mansion thinking? What kind of experiences have they had in the past? Under what conditions will they change their course of action? The information we have now still cannot give a definite inference. ]

【But being passive—choosing to be passive as a course of action is different. 】

[Yes, what's the difference——]

[First of all, in Act 2, there were no casualties in the village, right? ]

[This is indeed true.]

【That’s easy to say.】

Conan snapped his fingers. [We followed the other party's script. Because of the information Subaru brought, the other party is one-way transparent to us. We know the time of the other party's attack, the number of attackers, and the capabilities of the other party.]

[On the other hand, if we act in advance and disrupt the opponent's arrangement, then the opponent may replace others, or bring more people to attack the mansion. ]

[So, that's how it is! ]

Subaru's brain is quite sharp, but it depends on who he is compared with. [And it's different from before. No, it's the same as before, but the details are different! Knowing the enemy's intelligence in advance, and also finding out our intelligence, we can wait for them to tire out compared to the sudden increase in combat power! When the enemy comes over by themselves, we can use more skilled hands to easily take them down! ]

【That's it! 】

Conan's attempt to push his glasses fell short again.

【But there is another advantage to doing this. 】

[There's more!? ]

Subaru Natsuki thought that doing nothing was infinitely better than his previous plan, which was already impressive enough, but he didn't expect Conan could come up with other benefits.

[You are just like Zhuge Kongming~]

168

Chapter 168: Develop a strategy.

[Hmph, nothing. This is just the basics of detective work~]

[So, what is advantage? Tell us now, Zhuge Conan! ]

【It's Conan Holmes! 】

Conan rolled his eyes.

Rather than the legendary military strategist of a neighboring big country, he prefers the protagonist of Conan Doyle's famous detective novels.

[Those who plan before acting will prosper, while those who act before planning will perish - Kong Ming's words should be "Those who think ahead will be safe, while those who do not think will be in danger." ]

【What's the meaning? 】

[That is to say, people who achieve great things need to be indifferent to fame and fortune, and people who think more deeply will eventually succeed - something like that.]

Yoshida Yoshiko: It doesn’t seem to mean that?

Wang Ye: I am just making use of the topic. When we ask students to recite classical Chinese in school, it does not mean that we should regard the words of the ancient sages who died thousands of years ago as the golden rule. The purpose of learning them is to use the words of the ancestors to express our own views. Do you understand? Little girl~

Yoshida Yoshiko: Yeah, I understand. Thank you Mr. Wang Ye~

Wang Ye: OK, OK, oh my, I am a teacher to a cute little girl. Hey, you know what! My muscles are loosened up a bit.

Zhuge Qing: If you don't have a strong will, and a generous heart, you will just be stuck in the mundane world, be bound by emotions, and forever be mired in mediocrity, and you will inevitably become a low-class person. Brother, don't you consider changing your lazy nature?

Wang Ye: ...Okay, okay, okay, I know your ancestor is Zhuge Liang, you are awesome, I will listen to you~

Like Yoshida Yoshiko outside the light curtain, Natsuki Subaru inside the light curtain also felt that he had been taught a lesson.

But his attitude is not as good as that of the studious and ambitious little sister Yoshida Yoshiko. When he was in school, he didn't like to recite those difficult articles. Why did he have to be recited by a 7-year-old child in the other world?

[So, what does Kong Ming's famous saying have to do with our current situation? ]

[If you just want to solve the problem you mentioned, there are actually better and more direct methods. ]

[Is there still one? ! ! ]

Subaru now finally understood how Liu Xuande felt after meeting Xu Shu.

To put it in a more vivid way, it is: Hey, look! I have grown a brain (?_>?)!

【Ah, and it saves more effort, and is safer for us. 】

Conan nodded. Although Natsuki Subaru usually behaved in an exaggerated manner, he was an excellent choice as a supporting actor in detective reasoning and reviewing.

[However, as I just said - under the premise that we don't know how long we will stay in this world, if we implement a plan that saves more effort in the present, we will lose our long-term interests. ]

[Hmm...what's going on? You've got me confused.]

[In short, the simpler and more direct solution will cause tension with the Mansion → Emilia camp in the short term, which is actually not in our long-term interests. ]

[I see~]

Natsuki Subaru tapped his chest with his hands that were covering his head. He understood this sentence, and it was also very much to his liking.

He didn't want to be enemies with the people in the mansion. Even if it was Rem, as long as the misunderstanding was resolved, he believed that he could get along well with her, just like in the second round.

[Because of this consideration, I suggest that Caiyue, you should show off as much as possible during the day to improve the reputation of the mansion. ]

【I see! 】

He's good at this!

And it must be said that, in Roswaal's mansion, apart from his favorite Emilia, and his second favorite Ram, Rem and even the other servants are almost all cute girls with good looks.

Letting Natsuki Subaru please these beautiful girls was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing Subaru's expression, Conan began to worry about the system. [Don't be too reckless~, being too enthusiastic will make you suspicious in Rem's eyes and put the cart before the horse. ]

[…I know~]

[Okay! Then it’s settled! ]

After deciding on a course of action, Natsuki Subaru and the others lived these past few days as if they were in the second round.
