"Hey, what's up with that advertising expression of yours?"
"well..."
Ram coaxed Nayuki like a dog, and really treated him like a dog and said directly:
"I'll give you another one. Anyway, just sit there and chew it quietly."
Caiyueang stood up slowly, then took her sweet potato. Touching the still hot sweet potato and feeling this happy daily life, Caiyueang finally felt a little warmth in his heart. Perhaps it was the temperature of the sweet potato transmitted from his fingertips, or perhaps... his bright future was finally obtained.
Isn't this what he has always longed for?
"Regarding what happened yesterday, I would like to say thank you honestly. You have worked hard."
"What do you mean I worked so hard for you? Your tone is still so arrogant. Do I need you to thank me for something like that?"
But it's true, even Natsuki Ang felt very strange when he thought about the fact that this usually arrogant maid came to thank him. After all, he really didn't do anything. If he had to say it, he might have just saved Rem's life. But in fact... everyone knew that with the help of Rem who had turned into a demon, her life would not be in danger at all.
Ram glanced at the villagers gathered in the hall, who were chattering about something, but it seemed that they were grateful that they had not suffered any disaster.
"If the residents are persecuted, the lord will be held accountable. Thinking that the children will continue to be persecuted by Urgarum... both the villagers and Ram will naturally think that Barus's actions are correct. In fact, what you did is indeed beyond my expectations."
"Ulgarum? Is that the name of those black monsters that sound like vicious dogs?"
Ram nodded and told Nayuki that everything was over now because the barrier had been repaired and the monsters would not invade again, so the village must be very safe now.
After seeing the children who survived the disaster one by one, Nayuki Takashi was hailed as a hero and received a lot of thank-you gifts. However, the gifts were not the reason for his actions, so he rejected them one by one. In the eyes of the audience, it was more like he ran away than rejecting them.
Watching this daily life, the audience can't help but sigh that this damn cycle has finally come to an end.
However, during the escape, he met Betty. Although he didn't know why this cute loli appeared here, since he saw her, Nayuki Ang had to thank her quickly. After all, it was conceivable that all these were done by Betty, and only Betty could do such a thing.
But...Betty just replied that Parker asked her to do this, and took him to a very secluded place, as if she had some secret to share.
"You specially brought me to a place like this, so what do you want to say?"
Caiyueang leaned against the stone, crossed his arms and said to Betty, although he had almost recovered thanks to Emilia's healing magic, weakness and fatigue were unavoidable due to the multiple reincarnations and battles, so choosing the most energy-saving method was undoubtedly the right choice.
Betty thought for a while. At first, she didn't dare to look the man in front of her. Then... as if she had made up her mind, she slowly raised her eyes and said firmly:
"In less than half a day, you will die."
"what?"
Betty's words made the audience swallow back the breath of relief they had just breathed in. As a great elf, Betty's words have always been helping Natsuki, and everything she said could not be a joke.
Most of the audience are still waiting for Betty to reveal the reason for Natsuki's death, but Ayanokouji and his friends have already guessed it: delayed death, and being bitten into this state by a group of magical beasts called Urgarum... the curse must exist.
"Hey hey...after doing so much, do we still have to start all over again? You lecherous immortal."
"Naruto, don't worry. If this great spirit is here, there must be a way. This kind of thing should not be unsolvable."
Although smart people can realize that Nayuki Ang's life is still in danger, they have no idea how to lift it. If the curse could be lifted by Betty's light pinch like before, she would have done so long ago. The reason she didn't do it must be because Betty had no other way.
The audience who understood the reason are extremely concerned about their conversation at this moment. Whether it will happen again or not, whether it can be resolved or not, this must be what they are most concerned about now.
Back to the high-energy review, after hearing Betty's words, Nayuki Ang didn't cry like before. He just breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled bitterly.
He himself could also think of it. After all, things were definitely not that simple. If those bite marks represented a curse, he would have been mentally prepared long ago.
"You're calmer than I thought! I didn't know something happened to you. I thought you would burst into tears."
Although it was just a joke, it was what Betty really thought. This weak and fragile guy, who had been broken into pieces by a single blow before and had been crying loudly in the arms of the person he loved, now acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care about it at all.
Nayuki Ang didn't continue joking with her. To be honest, it was like a bolt from the blue to joke with him now. After all, he was not in the mood to joke. After thinking for a while, he was a little confused.
"The curse has not been completely lifted yet?"
"No... If you are talking about the previous curse, it was easily removed by Betty, but... when you were besieged by a group of monsters in the forest, a large number of curses were secretly added to you."
"Can I ask why it can't be lifted?"
This question is also what the audience is confused about. If it is a curse, then it should not be difficult for Betty, at least she can easily remove a curse, right? These are all witnessed by the audience, of course, this is also what Natsuki Ang saw with his own eyes.
"It's a simple matter, but the curses are piled on top of each other so it becomes too complicated."
"The curse is superimposed?"
Seeing that this man, who she didn't know whether to call smart or stupid, didn't understand her words, Betty slowly stretched out a finger and said to Caiyue Ang:
"If there is only one curse, it can be removed by simply pulling it apart, just like Betty did before."
Having said this, she put her hands together and deliberately pulled them, as if Natsuki Ang was demonstrating how to remove it.
"But the truth is, there are so many curses on you, just like so many threads intricately intertwined together."
Then, Betty once again put all ten fingers together, like a net that could not be torn apart. Now the audience understood everything. Although what she said was very abstract, Natsuki Ang also understood.
In the end, all Betty is saying is that, yes...
"I roughly understand that it's very difficult, but why is the time limit half a day?"
"After half a day, the monster will start a spell to gain magic power. Once the curse is activated, you will not be able to survive."
"The curse of that monster is to take away the magic power of the target. In other words, you have become food for the monster."
For a moment, Betty's words were very cold, and no emotion could be felt at all. Her words were like a bolt from the blue, making the audience feel uncomfortable, because death means having to start over again, and in the worst case scenario, it will lead to eternal death.
But... Nayuki Ang seemed to have no feelings at all. He just nodded to Betty's words, showing no fear at all, not even the fear of death.
"Because they are hungry, they attack humans?"
Caiyueang gave a bitter smile, then covered his face with his hands and pulled it down, feeling extremely ridiculous as if it were a practical joke.
"As expected of wild animals, they are really easy to understand. I have to thank those guys for not being hungry until now."
"you..."
Betty's words were full of disbelief. If Betty had told him before that he would die but he just didn't know what was going on, and now that she had told him everything and even knew that it was irreversible, he was still like this. Betty really couldn't understand it. He was not a very old person, nor was he an elf like Betty, and he did not have eternal life. Normally, everyone would be afraid of death, at least not like him.
"Are you really not afraid? Betty's words are a declaration for the rest of your life."
Nayuki Ang turned his head slowly as if he was very shy. Although no one knew what he was shy about, as soon as he saw Betty in front of him... he would have this thought.
"Of course I am afraid of death, but I don't think you are the kind of malicious person who would come here to announce the time of my death."
After hearing these words, Betty finally understood. It turned out that he regarded Betty as his savior and thought that she could tell him some way to survive. Although there was indeed a way, it was really annoying to have such a person who thought he was being understood.
Betty frowned and said to the man in front of her as if she was very unhappy:
"What do you know about Betty?"
"Ah... Yes, it's true that I know nothing about important things. This is the second time I've said this, but... at least our friendship is four times longer than you think."
Although Betty has forgotten, Nayuki Ang will never forget. He will remember Betty who saved him several times, and of course there were also Betty who did not help him. After all, he is still grateful to her in his heart.
Therefore, he felt an inexplicable sense of pride when he said these words, even though he knew nothing about Betty, but... her character and motives of her actions, Natsuki Ang had a firm grasp on them during these reincarnations.
Betty shook her head desperately, as if to deny that she was familiar with Nayuki Ang, and said proudly:
"I do not know what you're talking about."
However, this tsundere personality only lasted for a second, and then... Betty, knowing that time could not be wasted, returned to her normal self and said to Nayuki Ang:
"But even if you believe me so much, Betty can only tell you that the possibility of Nen Gugong being rescued is indeed very low. This is an unchangeable fact."
Once again, Nayuki Ang just smiled bitterly. There was no way back now. Since there was death and survival ahead, then... there was no need to be timid in this reincarnation. No matter what the final result was, no matter how many possibilities there were, he had to do it.
Instead of waiting to die here, it’s better to take a gamble.
After making all the mental preparations, Nayuki Ang said with determination:
"Tell me about that tiny possibility."
"This is the process of foraging to provide the ritual. If the lost party dies, normally the foraging process will be interrupted."
"I see."
Caiyue Ang finally understood the principle. After all, according to what Betty said, it meant that as long as he killed all the monsters that had cursed him before, the task would be accomplished.
"I just need to defeat all those who cast the curse on me."
Thinking of this, Caiyueang couldn't help but open his clothes and look at the countless bite marks on his body. No matter how optimistic he was at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh that this number was really outrageous.
"That's why I didn't tell the little girl. With the bite marks on your body, it's impossible to find and kill the monsters, unless... you can kill all the monsters in the entire forest. But... you don't have that power."
"That's right. If Emilia knew about this, she would definitely do something crazy. Even though I would be very stubborn, I would also be very scared."
If Emilia dies because of this and the save point is updated accordingly, then by then the loss of Emilia will be something that cannot be changed.
Nayuki Ang remained optimistic. At least everything was going well so far, except that his own life was coming to an end.
He squatted down slowly. Even if he wanted to think of a good way at the moment, it was obviously very difficult. It would be better to say that there was no way out now. Maybe... he could only start over again and make a new plan.
“It’s not impossible to achieve, but I have no choice but to give up.”
After saying this, Nayuki Ang has already planned to give up his life. He has already decided to start over again and make new plans. Although it may be very difficult and there may still be many unexpected events, but... at least now, no one will blame him for his escape. After all, he has done very well in this reincarnation. At least he did not escape and did not do anything wrong. It is better to say... he has become a lot braver, really a lot braver.
Although it was painful for Natsuki Takashi to give up all the memories and feelings he had with the people in the mansion, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't let others take risks again. He would never accept the death of his companions as soon as the save point was updated.
He, Nayuki Ang, finally decided to give up.
"So you're just going to give up?"
Nayuki Ang was squatting on the ground waiting for death to come quietly. At this moment, he suddenly heard Rem's words echoing in his ears.
"There must be another way to save him!"
Caiyueang felt a little panic in his heart. The sudden memory he recalled made his pupils dilate and tremble for a moment.
His memory was slowly returning. He had vaguely heard the quarrel between Rem and Betty when he was unconscious. Suddenly thinking of this memory at this moment, Nayuki couldn't help but feel a little scared.
And...until now, he hasn't seen Rem. Although Parker said that she has recovered, it is impossible for her not to be by his side.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and Nayuki Ang couldn't help but feel very worried.
"I will definitely save you!"
In Nayuki Ang's mind, the words Rem said before he fell into a coma kept echoing. He just squatted there, trying to recall all those memories, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember them.
"Is your head starting to hurt too? But there's nothing we can do about it. This is the only way. It's up to you to make your own judgment from now on."
Seeing Natsuki Ang in such pain, Betty chose not to say anything more. After all, in her opinion, the man in front of her was just a guy who was about to die. He was neither the person Betty was looking for, nor the person who was looking for Betty. Even if she had given him more hope, it was ultimately just a flash in the pan.
Thinking of this, Betty was about to turn around and leave.
But...at this moment, Nayuki Ang suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of Betty's clothes.
"Well, as expected, you still want to be saved."
"Where's Rem?"
"You! You are a person..."
Perhaps realizing her own gaffe, Betty quickly adjusted her expression, but it was obvious that she was not the one who was in a hurry.
That's right, Nayuki Ang stood up anxiously, holding Betty's shoulders with both hands, and kept calling Betty's name, asking questions like, "How is Rem? Where is Rem?"
Seeing him so anxious, Betty couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. After all, there was a question in her mind that she hadn't asked.
If Betty were in such a predicament, would you also do everything you can to save her?
Chapter 15: The correct way to use the Witch's Fragrance!
"Beicuizi? Beicuizi!"
"Tell me quickly! Where is Rem?!"
Seeing that she could no longer stop the guy, Betty chose not to hide it anymore. After all, this had nothing to do with her from the beginning. No matter who died, it had nothing to do with Betty.
Betty, who was being held tightly, asked Natsuki Tsuyoshi directly:
"If you were in the same position, what would you do?"
Betty's determined eyes seemed to have told Nayuki Ang the answer. That's right...if she were in the same position, there was no need to ask what she would do. She would kill all the monsters Urgarum for Rem, no matter what means she had to use.
"This kind of thing... Rem... you idiot...!"
Having said that, Nayuki Ang's mind was now in a mess. For a guy who already wanted to give up, using his brain now was completely meaningless, because he had no means to kill all the monsters in the forest. What was even worse was that he couldn't find Rem at all.
But, she was able to find herself... Yes, there was no need to elaborate on this fact. Whether before or after she turned into a ghost, Rem would definitely be attracted by her witch fragrance. In this way, at least she would be brought out of the forest safely.
He did what he said. Nayuki Ang could no longer think of any more strategies. After all, his brain was in a complete mess.
Just when Nayuki Ang was about to take action, an anxious figure suddenly walked out from beside the two of them.
"Lady Beatrice's words, Ram can't pretend that he didn't hear them."
