I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

Reinhard looked at the blood-stained spear in front of him, or rather the person holding it, in confusion.

Because Natsuki Subaru was pinned there, Imi, who had followed behind and promised Emilia to protect her, stood in front of him and was almost hit on the head by the scabbard.

Chapter 29 Please go out.

The competing candidates were in the same room, and while tensions weren't high, it was generally consistent with what Natsuki Subaru had imagined. Of course, this referred to the fact that the others were not being polite to Emilia.

Apart from the first impression factor of the white-haired half-elf that deducted points, not counting the thief Firut who was forced to dress up beautifully to enter, she was the only one whose background was not very competitive and was simple.

Even Felt at least has the support of the world's strongest man, Reinhard, as her first knight, but Emilia seems to have come alone, and the Border Earl who supports her has not yet arrived.

Under the indoor lighting, the bloodstains on the spear seemed to reflect a luster that was difficult to look at, stinging the eyes of those in the field.

“Reinhard…”

The Dragon Sword has self-awareness and will only be drawn out for a qualified enemy. This qualified enemy is not just someone like "Guan Mou's sword does not kill the old or the young."

People like Erza, who made Natsuki Subaru despair, or the Archbishop of Sloth may not be qualified. It can be said that anyone who can make Reinhardt draw his sword can be regarded as the top combat force in this world, and they may not be able to withstand more than two moves in front of Reinhardt.

No one was too panicked at first with him present, but now he had made the atmosphere extremely tense.

"it hurts."

The scabbard flew past the cat's ears. Although it didn't hit Yimi, it hit Beatrice's smooth forehead who was following behind her, causing her to squat down and rub her hands.

"Betty!"

Yimi looked at Reinhard angrily, and jumped up with the classic insect stick starting move, and burst out with magic power to shake away the guards surrounding Natsuki Subaru and Master Rom, fulfilling his promise to protect Natsuki Subaru.

Then he leaped in mid-air, approaching, and struck Reinhardt's head with the center of his spear.

The first attack on Reinhardt will not hit, and the second and subsequent attacks will not hit either.

In addition, Reinhardt has a large number of blessings that cannot be written on a single page. The source comes from a blessing called [Acquired Divine Protection]. This is a blessing that others can only possess by nature, but for him, he can get any blessing he wants.

If there are gods in this world, he is simply the son of gods.

As expected, under Yimi's puzzled gaze, her attack was indeed about to pass over the opponent's head for a moment, but the next second she clenched her small hands and used miraculous power to force the gun barrel to straighten.

Now it was Reinhardt's turn to feel a little surprised. With only 0.01 seconds to block, he successfully blocked the dragon sword in the space between them.

"Well?"

The two of them were in a stalemate for about two seconds. Reinhardt could feel the pressure on his hand increasing, as if the child was going to hit him on the head no matter what he said today.

"stop it now!"

It was not until the pillar next to her began to crack due to the magic squeezed in the air and the floor began to shake that Emilia finally reacted, clenched her fists and shouted to stop it.

At this time, apart from language, it is impossible for a third party to stop it through action.

Julius stood in front of Anastasia.

What was Mimi playing with yesterday?

Emilia's words were indeed useful. Yimi would definitely not listen to Natsuki Subaru, but she still had to give some face to Emilia, the person who promised to give her snacks.

They tacitly released the strength in their hands upwards, and the impact of pure magic hit the ceiling. From the outside, it looked like a beam of light shot out from the club for a hundred feet, but because the shattered building debris turned into dust in an instant, no unlucky person was affected.

"I can apologize."

Reinhardt touched the blade of the dragon sword to the ground to show his sincerity and to prevent the strange dragon sword from shining its edge on the child's face.

Having said that, after the previous exchange without any intention of killing each other, Reinhardt could tell that this child probably did have the power to hurt him. If he could easily neutralize it, the venue would not have suffered such damage.

Due to Reinhard's special characteristics, the mana in the air would be massively extracted and occupied when he was fighting, so that the other people present were unable to use magic and even felt a little uncomfortable.

But while everyone else was treated equally, the kitten standing opposite Reinhardt alone exuded a powerful magical power from within.

Isn't Reinhard invincible?

"Yimi and Subaru, why are you here?"

Emilia put her hands on her hips unhappily.

"I followed him."

Yimi rubbed Beatrice's forehead and pointed at Natsuki Subaru with his other hand.

Emilia only asked her to protect Natsuki Subaru, but didn't say to stop him from coming.

Emilia took a step back, her eyes hidden in the shadows: "Yes, Yimi is a good child who keeps his promises."

But on the contrary, Subaru ignored what she said yesterday and showed up here.

Natsuki Subaru quickly stood up and waved his hands: "I am innocent Emilia, I can explain this, and..."

He wanted to say that you were the one who unilaterally told me not to come yesterday and I didn't agree, but even he knew that saying such a thing would be embarrassing.

"Subaru, please get out."

Emilia said in a heartless voice, "That's enough."

"But... I don't want this to happen. I just want to stand beside Emilia openly and honestly, not letting you stand there alone. I don't want to appear here like this!"

"Please send him out."

The two guards looked at Yimi with lingering fear and patted Natsuki Subaru on the shoulder. Even though everyone was not optimistic about her, Emilia's reputation as a candidate was enough for them to ignore everything that had just happened.

Emilia loosened her clenched fist and looked down at Yimi: "Excuse me, could you please send Subaru off again? Don't let him do anything stupid again."

"You are really kind, but don't push all the troubles onto us. We are not your two babysitters and we don't have to keep watching him all the time. You can handle whether you want to come or go by yourselves."

Beatrice moved her hand away from her forehead, took out the bow, and tied a small braid for Yimi, who had finally calmed down.

"Well."

Imi looked back at Reinhard, hit him on the head with the Spear of Longinus, patted Emilia's hand, and followed Beatrice.

Crusch, one of the candidates, looked up at the sky, then turned to look at his followers: "Have you seen this child?"

Felix twitched his ears. "Master Will said this kid claimed to have killed the white whale, but I thought it was just kid talk, so I didn't tell Master Crusch."

"The white whale... has been killed?"

Crusch frowned slightly and looked at Emilia.

Only after Reinhard reluctantly withdrew his sword did the noble on the stage breathe a sigh of relief and console Emilia, saying, "Lady Emilia, your squire may be reckless, but he truly cares for you."

Emilia shook her head slightly: "Subaru is not my attendant."

If you care about her, why would you ignore what you said yesterday and show up here?

She was so focused on being sad and angry about Subaru's behavior that she didn't even notice that she had forgotten to state that Yimi was not her supporter.

Reinhard rubbed the spot on his head where he was hit, looked down at the dragon sword in his hand that he could not pull out again and fell into deep thought.

Chapter 30: He can even go back in time.

Grandpa Rom's purpose of breaking into the venue was for Firut. Although it seemed that their relationship was just a partnership, in a sense, he could actually be regarded as Firut's parent.

Because Grandpa Rom saved Natsuki Subaru when he was fighting with a passerby, Grandpa Rom, who was worried about Firut's safety, naturally asked about it. After learning that Firut was taken away by Reinhard, he directly analyzed the subsequent series of events and ran to rob the scene.

Firut, who was already very dissatisfied with Reinhard's arrest and was hostile to the nobles, certainly did not want to participate in any king election. He even wanted to kick Reinhard with a high kick when he appeared. However, after seeing that Master Rom was arrested, he reluctantly agreed to the identity of this competitor.

After all, if she wasn't the candidate for the throne, Rom's crime of attacking the venue would have been enough to warrant the death penalty.

"Look carefully at how I write this word. This is how it should be written."

Beatrice sat next to Yimi and taught her how to write in this world.

"Emilia, don't you believe me?"

"I want to believe! We clearly had an agreement, but you broke it all so easily, and even caused such a mess... You didn't keep your promise and yet you still want me to believe you, I can't do it!"

"..."

"Subaru, why do you always want to help me?"

In Emilia's eyes, Natsuki Subaru has always been someone who broke in for no apparent reason, and seemed to help her without any motive at all.

"Because you saved me."

"Saved you?"

"You have no idea how redemptive what you did to me was."

Not only did she save him from the gangster, but Emilia was also the first person in this world to treat him well. For him, a guy who had already lost hope for the future in his original world, Emilia's gentleness was like a guide to his new life, even if it was only for a short day. Even if someone else trusted him unconditionally later, it could not replace this position of "first".

But in the eyes of Emilia, who couldn't remember anything in the current timeline, Natsuki Subaru, who said this, seemed like he was still looking for excuses to deceive her.

"I was..."

Once again, those invisible hands strangled Natsuki Subaru's heart.

"You're not saying anything anymore..."

Emilia looked at him helplessly.

"I thought Emilia would understand."

Under the threat of the psychopath who gave him his ability, Natsuki Subaru couldn't say anything about reincarnation.

"Subaru's inner self is truly amazing. I understand without you even saying anything..."

"Can the soundproofing of this house be better?"

Beatrice looked out the window at the dusk unhappily, then looked down at the kitten.

Yimi, who had just tilted his head and looked at her, turned his head away.

Beatrice flicked her hair: "Do you have something to say to Betty?"

Natsuki Subaru opened the door of the room, breathing heavily, interrupting them.

"You should get permission before entering a lady's room. Don't bring your arrogance to Betty."

Beatrice stretched out her hand as if to cast a spell to drive Natsuki Subaru away.

The quarrel outside came to an abrupt end with Emilia's whisper. If the argument continued, Natsuki Subaru would lose control of his emotions.

"Bi Cuizi, can you please go out for a moment? I have something to talk to Yi Mi alone."

"Are you dreaming?"

"I beg you……"

Natsuki Subaru threaded his fingertips through his hair, his pain showing on his face.

"Tsk."

Beatrice smacked her lips, picked up a book, and walked outside. She looked back and said, "Don't get closer than one meter. If you get closer, you'll hit him."

"..."

Watching Beatrice leave, Natsuki Subaru sat down on the floor with his legs hugged: "I just wanted to do something to help her. I didn't want her to be bullied by others. Why can't she understand?"

"Because she saved me, I can't treat her any differently. I died many times for her. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be able to do it on her own! She..."

Although she had said it clearly, the witch did not touch Yimi when she was alone with her.

Natsuki Subaru raised his head and saw the little girl in front of him looking at him blankly while holding the notebook she had just practiced calligraphy in. Perhaps it was because Emilia only played a role of rescue at the very end in his operation to save Emilia and had no participation in the whole process, so she did not understand what he said.

Yes, in the end, it was this child who saved the day. And she was just a child. Even if she knew she would regress, what would it matter? Even if she could tell her, what would it matter? Should I pour out my grievances on a child who looked barely ten?

Natsuki Subaru stood up again, turned around and walked out of the room.

He turned his head and saw Beatrice sitting on the floor at the door reading a book.

"That was so fast, Betty thought you were going to be beaten out."

"Don't say that, I'm not a scumbag."

Natsuki Subaru's voice was low.

He originally thought he had someone to talk to, but how could he pour out all this garbage to a child?

"Calm down?"

"should not."
