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

Beatrice's hand on her face loosened slightly, still trembling a little: "What are you talking about?"

"It means leaving this world."

Yimi sat up in confusion.

"What does it mean to leave this world? Explain it clearly to Betty!"

Beatrice grabbed her collar and tears as big as beans fell down.

Yimi was startled by her and pointed her finger: "That's right, leave for a week."

It took just one week before I returned to Gensokyo.

Chapter 45: It turns out you are really Diego.

“12, 13, huh!”

Natsuki Subaru loosened his grip.

"Subaru, what are you doing?"

"The fixation seems barely controllable."

Natsuki Subaru rubbed his stomach in confusion.

After killing Regulus, the greed factor flowed into his body and became slightly more controllable. The limit was 13 seconds, which was much stronger than Regulus's five seconds because of the fixed reasons before.

Although it was much shorter than the several minutes he spent beating Regulus, being able to control himself gave him a greater sense of security.

"Well?"

In another dragon carriage, Yimi lowered her head and looked at Beatrice holding her hand. She pulled it gently twice but failed to pull it apart. Beatrice kept checking whether she was under any curse.

"Why aren't you sleeping? Are you feeling unwell?"

Beatrice inquired.

Afterwards, they stopped for a while because Natsuki Subaru wanted to pee on them, and Yimi also got off the dragon car to walk around, but Beatrice still held her hand tightly.

"Why haven't I seen you go to the bathroom? Are you feeling unwell?"

When they reached the sanctuary, Beatrice still held on to her and wouldn't let go.

"Why didn't you eat catnip today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yimi turned to look at her: "I'm going to fight, Diego."

"Oh."

Beatrice still held on to her and wouldn't let go.

Although the Sanctuary was built four hundred years ago to defend against the Demon of Melancholy, four hundred years have passed after all, and the nature of some things has changed.

Because of the barrier effect of the sanctuary, the half-blooded demi-humans within the sanctuary are not allowed to leave. If others forcibly move them out, they can only take away their bodies, and their souls will still be imprisoned inside.

It has been passed down for several generations and isolated from the outside world for four hundred years. Although some people are afraid of the outside world now, more people still want to break the holy land and go out again.

The only way to unlock the sanctuary is through a trial set by its creator, Beatrice's mother, the Greedy Witch Echidna.

However, non-mixed-blood people who are allowed to enter and exit freely, so the trial is only open to mixed-blood demi-humans or those who are recognized by her. Unqualified people who force their way in will continue to suffer harm, and the stronger the magic power, the more serious the harm.

Then Roswaal, the manager of the sanctuary, came over and was detained. He was told that he would not be allowed to leave until the sanctuary was liberated.

"Lord Roswaal?"

"Yo."

In a room in the sanctuary, Roswaal, lying on the bed wrapped in bandages, greeted Remram. This was the consequence of forcing his way into the trial.

Natsuki Subaru imagined countless scenes of their next meeting, but he never expected the other party to be in such a miserable state.

He took a deep breath and walked forward: "You don't seem surprised at all that we chased here."

Then he saw Roswaal, who he had just commented on as 'not strange at all', staring at his face and his expression slightly moved.

"..."

You can't blame him. Natsuki Subaru even tried to wash it with the oil brought by Otto, but the paint on his face couldn't be washed off. He didn't know whether to say it was of good quality or of poor quality.

Roswaal, who usually likes to put on clown makeup, also has mixed feelings.

It was true that he wanted to train Natsuki Subaru to be a qualified accomplice, but he didn't expect the effect to be so fierce. Not only did he start to imitate his makeup, but he even painted it more unrestrained and wild than his.

Natsuki Subaru didn't know what was going on in his mind, but considering the fact that he liked to wear clown makeup, he could guess something. The miserable appearance in front of him made him feel more at ease.

But when he turned around to take a look at the kitten that gave him the most courage, he found that she was hiding behind the door with only one cat ear showing, eavesdropping.

The courage he had accumulated along the way was almost extinguished, but he didn't even dare to pull open the curtain when the other party was injured. Is there any other better time?

Natsuki Subaru silently activated his fixed position to embolden himself: "Now that everyone is here, do you want to open up and talk directly? Or should we ask everyone else to step aside so you can talk to me alone?"

Roswaal looked at his face with interest. "What do you mean?"

"I've heard you're the best wizard in the kingdom, right? And it just so happens that the Witch Church invaded while you were away, more than once..."

"I see. The Witch Church attacked you. Just based on that, you're claiming I'm the culprit?"

"This kind of thing..."

The more conclusive evidence is that he had been killed once before, but how can he explain this?

"Barus, that's so rude."

Ram came over and covered Roswaal with the quilt.

"So what do you feel when you hear the word 'Diego'?"

Natsuki Subaru carefully observed Roswaal's reaction, even though he was not good at reading other people's expressions.

Roswaal showed nothing except a look of doubt that didn't seem fake.

"Pleiades."

Even Emilia, who had just reconciled with him, was a little confused: "We all know that 'Diego' is just something Imi made up. Don't children always think there is something under their bed..."

"This is different, Emilia. I've tried it myself. This guy is not simple."

His refusal to admit it actually made Natsuki Subaru panic.

"Have you tried it out?"

Roswaal stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Stop pretending, you bastard. I already know everything. You can actually keep changing your body, right?"

"Oh?"

Roswaal's expression changed slightly. "Where did you hear about this?"

"Lord Roswaal?"

"Changing bodies?"

Beatrice, who had been holding Yimi's hand, suddenly reacted. She pulled Yimi in and looked at her incomprehensiblely: "Roswaal, are you Roswaal?"

"What are you talking about? I've always been Roswaal~oh."

Roswaal regained his previous smile and looked at Beatrice.

"I didn't mean this..."

Beatrice had always believed that the Roswaal she knew had died of old age, and that for hundreds of years, all she had seen were his descendants...

So, my mother once researched a project to transfer the soul into other bodies to achieve immortality, but it was a failed project.

"That's impossible, the soul and the body cannot match..."

"That's possible."

Having his secret exposed, Roswaal had no intention of pretending anymore.

"Of course, an ordinary foreign body cannot match the soul, but if it is a blood descendant, everything is different. You have found out a lot of things, Mr. Natsuki Subaru."

"You guy..."

Beatrice bit her lower lip.

So it's always been the first generation Roswaal?

"So you are really Diego?!"

"?"

So what exactly is Diego?

46

Chapter 46 Spring BOSS.

Roswaal is a student of Beatrice's mother, the Greedy Witch Echidna.

Because this guy is born with powerful magical talents, he is troubled by the demonic period and is often not understood by people around him until he meets Echidna.

As Echidna's student, he also spent a lot of wonderful time with his daughter Beatrice. For example, Beatrice played a prank on a child, and in order to help the child get revenge, Roswaal also played a prank on Beatrice the next day.

Beatrice didn't want to admit it at the time, but looking back now, it could be considered friendship.

Over the past few hundred years, Beatrice had seen several generations of Roswaal taking books from the Forbidden Library, some of them men and some women, and it turned out that they were all the same person she knew.

She originally thought that she would never see her old friend again, but in fact, this guy had always been under her nose.

However, she also understood Roswaal's reluctance to be honest with her. After all, it was too immoral to extend one's life by relying on direct descendants.

and so--

"Put your face closer."

Beatrice turned Yimi around, took off her own little leather shoes, held them in her hands, and slapped Roswaal's face hard.

"Lady Beatrice..."

Roswaal covered his face. "Does this calm you down?"

"You think too simply, Diego."

Beatrice responded coldly, "I just don't want to show my violent side in front of this kid anymore."

Roswaal was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "So, is she the 'one' you've identified? Even Ryuzu hasn't been treated so directly and tenderly by you."

Beatrice narrowed her eyes. "I wonder what that child would think if he knew you were like this."

"You finally admitted it. You've been like a rock weighing on my chest all this time. Even though I've already dealt with several Archbishops of Sin, I still can't sleep well."

Natsuki Subaru glared at him, rubbing his hands in anger. "Now, while Ram and the others will protect you, you still have a chance to explain yourself, Diego."

"I've already told you that Diego is not a good man, but you don't believe me."

Yimi turned around, with a hint of grievance in her words.

So what the hell is Diego?

"Hmph, Subaru-san, it looks like you haven't reached the point where you can satisfy me~."

Roswaal smiled helplessly again.

He would do anything for the one he loves, and this has been his long-cherished wish for a hundred years, to revive his teacher and bring him back to the way they used to live.

Everything was done in accordance with the guidance of the Book of Wisdom, whether it was leaving the maids behind to go to the Sanctuary when an incident was about to happen, or revealing the news of the Book of Wisdom to the Archbishop of Sin, thus bringing danger to Natsuki Subaru and the others.

"But now that you're here, you shouldn't be thinking about what I want to do. As you can see, I'm just a harmless casualty."

Roswaal waved his bandaged arm.

"What do you mean by... not considering what you sat on?"

Natsuki Subaru's confusion made Roswaal look at Beatrice in surprise: "So you came here without telling them?"

Beatrice frowned slightly. On the way, she was only thinking about what Yimi said about leaving this world, and completely forgot to talk about the details of the sanctuary.

Roswaal looked meaningfully at Emilia, the half-elf. "Lady Emilia, you're trapped here~."

"Eh?"
