Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Ariel smiled and waited for my answer.

agree?

Or refuse?

In fact, this problem does not need to be considered from the beginning.

"I'm so sorry, Lady Ariel."

I lowered my head slightly.

"I wish to use my power for those in distress. If Lady Ariel were in that situation, I wouldn't stand idly by... However, that's ultimately a decision for me alone, so I can't pledge allegiance to anyone, nor can I respond to your expectations."

"Having said that."

"If it's about Sylphy and Rudeus, I think I can help."

Labyrinth Chapter: 73, Debate and Discussion

If nothing else happens.

According to the plot of the novel, Ariel will inevitably ascend the throne in the end.

Since I already know the final result, as a time traveler, I should place my bets in advance with a forward-looking vision... just like a gambler who knows the winning numbers in advance.

However, my principles do not allow me to pledge my allegiance to Ariel.

Although he looks amiable on the surface.

But as someone born into a royal family, she also possesses coldness and cruelty hidden beneath that smile.

Furthermore, my power is not used to fight for power among nobles and royal families. Helping those in need is my original intention for becoming stronger, and whether or not to lend a helping hand must be decided by my will.

So, I can't pledge allegiance to anyone.

That would make me no longer myself and I would be unable to control myself.

and so……

"I'm sorry, Master Ariel, but I can't pledge my loyalty to you."

"But regarding the matter between Sylphy and Rudeus, I think I can still provide some help."

I said apologetically.

That being said.

Neither Ariel nor Luke looked surprised.

Maybe he had already considered the possibility that I would refuse before I came here.

"But is this really okay?"

Ariel asked with a smile.

"Although Sylphy says she wants to win over Rudeus, it's ultimately just wishful thinking on her part. Even if Sylphy confesses everything to Rudeus, Rudeus, who was once the tutor of the Boreas family, is technically my enemy."

"Is it really okay for you to decide on your own to help me win over Rudeus?"

"Ariel-sama, why are you talking about this again now?"

"Calm down Sylphy, I want to hear what Ron thinks."

Sylphy seemed a little flustered by Ariel's sudden remarks.

However, Ariel quickly calmed Sylphy down.

I thought a lot in an instant.

After a moment's thought, I said:

"First of all, Rudeus and I have been together for a long time, so I know very well that Rudeus has severed ties with the Boreas family, so there is no need to worry about this matter."

"Secondly, if Rudeus decides to help Lady Ariel ascend the throne because of Sylphy, that's his own decision, and it has nothing to do with the feelings between the two of them. I believe Rudeus is capable of independent judgment, so we'll leave it to him to make the choice when the time comes."

"Besides, I have no grudge against Lady Ariel. There's no reason to hinder the progress of our relationship just because I'm worried that Rudeus will join Lady Ariel's army."

"That's how I see it."

I spoke frankly about my opinion.

Whether to help Ariel or to throw himself into political struggle for Sylphy was something Rudeus had to consider. Even if Rudeus got into trouble because of it, it was his own decision.

not to mention.

If it comes to that, I won't stand idly by.

"In that case, let's discuss how to bring Sylphy and Rudeus together."

Ariel took the initiative to change the subject.

What a smart woman.

"Although my original intention was to recruit Rudeus, for Sylphy, that was actually a side job. The first and most important thing is to confess my feelings to Rudeus."

"Let me ask, what is the so-called intention?"

"It's, it's... a relationship or something like that, or maybe something further..."

Sylphy said this with an embarrassed look.

She has grown into a heroic figure over the years, but she suddenly turns into a little girl only when Rudeus is mentioned.

"Luke, what do you think?"

Ariel turned her head and looked to her side.

Luke, considered the strongest intermediate swordsman of the Sword God Style in the Asura Kingdom, thought for a moment.

"Normally, at times like this, one needs to showcase one's feminine charms. However... putting aside the question of whether Rudeus has feelings for Sylphy to the point of agreeing to date her, if one is to showcase feminine charms, Sylphy doesn't have them."

"Luke, is your so-called feminine charm limited to breasts?"

"Of course. For the men of the Notos family, breasts are the only criterion for identifying a woman. Everything else is impure. A woman without breasts cannot be called a woman at all..."

Luke, the strongest intermediate swordsman of the Sword God School, began to talk about the importance of breasts.

And what he said boiled down to one key point.

That is:

"With a stick-sized figure like Sylphy, it's impossible for her to show any charm."

"O-Ouch..."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Sylphy couldn't refute Luke's incisive assessment.

So their idea was to show Sylphy's feminine charm through other methods.

Having said that…

"Well, let me interrupt."

I raised my hand and interrupted their discussion.

"Regarding the question of female charm, I think we can skip it directly, because there is no problem with Sylphy's charm."

"Well?"

Hear me say this.

Not only Luke and Sylphy, but even Ariel was stunned.

After all, it was basically a consensus among them that Sylphy lacked feminine charm.

Not even Sylphy could refute it.

"Wait, are you saying that just with Sylphy's poor body, she could interest Rudeus?"

Luke took a step forward with a serious expression.

Looks very serious.

What the hell is this seriousness...

Although I wanted to say this, Luke had no intention of joking.

So I explained seriously:

"I've had a long journey with Rudeus. Although I can't describe the details, I can confirm one thing - Rudeus's XP is quite extensive, and his flat chest is also an important part of his XP."

"What? Impossible. After all, Rudeus has the blood of the Notos family flowing through his veins. How could he possibly be interested in a person with a stick-like figure like this..."

"Luke! There's no need to keep emphasizing the stick! Do you really think I won't get angry at all?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Anyway, I can't agree with what you said."

Luke looked serious.

Other matters don’t matter, but when it comes to the honor of the Notos family, there is no room for compromise.

With a stick-like figure like this, you dare to talk about being charming?

Simply ridiculous!

"Do you have any basis for what you said? If it's just groundless speculation, I won't agree with it!"

Luke waved his hand, showing a tough attitude.

I took a deep breath.

"Evidence? That kind of thing..."

How is that possible!

No, if you insist, there are some.

That was the pair of Loki's panties that Rudeus had always treasured. Judging from the size, it was undoubtedly a pair of panties that only women with loli figures could wear.

Anyone who sees that thing will understand one thing.

Rudeus is a dead loli.

"..."

Forget it.

It's better not to mention this kind of thing in front of Sylphy.

After thinking about it, I said:

"In short, even a figure like Sylphy's is enough for Rudeus."

"Where's the evidence? You expect me to believe you without any evidence?"

"If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."

In fact.

Rudeus and I had already made an appointment a few days ago.

Let’s drink together today and don’t leave until we are drunk.
