Twelve Trials from Scratch

"Be careful with Roswaal?" Nayuki Subaru was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Why? Isn't Roswaal a sponsor of Emilia-chan? He should be a comrade in the same camp, right?"

Su Qi didn't answer, and only left a sentence, "Use thinking instead of asking, you can think about the reason yourself."

After finishing speaking, he put away the wooden sword, turned around and walked towards the main house.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Roswaal Mansion, the study room on the top floor of the main house, the owner who had been away for a while, Border Borozwaal L. Mezas finally returned.

He was slender, even slender.With dark blue long hair and back, sickly pale skin, well-proportioned appearance and heterochromatic eyes, left yellow and right blue, at first glance he looks like a gloomy and charming young man; The symmetry, the clothes and heavy makeup that are extremely similar to the clown make him look weird, more like a funny clown.

"Are there two people who came back with Emilia~sama?"

Roswaal sat behind the desk and listened to the report from the maid Ram. When he knew that there were two people brought back by Emilia, his usually smiling face rarely showed surprise.

Chapter 19 Blank Future

"Lord Roswaal?"

Noticing the rare sudden loss of consciousness of the master, the pink-haired maid standing respectfully in front of the desk waited for a moment, and couldn't help reminding her softly.

"Oh, it's a bit unexpected."

Roswaal quickly recovered, with a smile on his lips, closed one eye, and looked at Ram with that yellow pupil. As always, his tone was weird, and he said in a cadence, like an opera: "Then , Tell me about those two guests, I am very~interested in them."

"Yes, according to Lady Emilia, the cause of the matter is..."

Next, Ram repeated what he heard from Emilia in detail. Roswaal sat on the chair with his legs crossed, his chin resting on his hand, and listened quietly.When he heard that Su Qi and the two suddenly intervened in the incident, they helped Emilia for a strange reason, and just happened to work together with him to defeat a strong enemy, his eyes flickered, showing a thoughtful look.

"That's it."

"The appearance of the two guests is very strange."

"And in strange clothes, claiming to be a resident from another world for unknown reasons."

"Someone from the opposite side of the big waterfall..." The smile on the corner of his mouth became a little more obvious, "I've heard this kind of saying, but this way, it's hard to trace the source."

"They do understand the text, language, and a lot of related knowledge of the different world, and they also have strange magic tools that are obviously different from ours... Can describe the so-called different world in such a specific way, and break away from the common sense here, pull Tom doesn't think it looks like they're lying."

"Is it~? But even so, you can't take it lightly. After all, it's~ this kind of time."

"Ram understands. Please rest assured, Master Roswaal, he will take good care of the two guests."

"It's very reassuring, because Ram is a very qualified chess piece." Roswaal said, opening the closed eye, "Then... I haven't done that for a few days, Ram feels a little uncomfortable ? Come here, let me give my loyal dog some rewards."

"Yes, Roswaal... my lord."

A faint blush appeared on the fair cheeks, and Ram looked at his master with wet and envious eyes, took brisk steps, and leaned over impatiently.

……

Afterwards (referring to the demon, correct), the maid left the study with a ruddy complexion and a sense of relief and satisfaction.

Roswaal turned his back to the sunlight coming in through the window behind him, his face was covered by shadows, and he sat quietly behind the desk like a statue, until the sound of Ram's footsteps completely disappeared, and then stretched his hands into his arms expressionlessly , took out a strange book placed next to him.

Its cover is all black, without titles, and its size and thickness are about the same as a normal dictionary. Although it is well maintained, there are traces of long years left on the corners of the cover and the edges of the pages.

With a cautious attitude like treating a rare treasure, Roswaal gently took it out and placed it on the table.Then he took out a pair of white gloves from his body and put them on, gently turned the pages of the book, and then... the blank paper came into view.

The slightly yellowish blankness burned a certain nerve, his pupils shrank, and his whole body froze as if struck by lightning.

"blank?"

The unbelievable expression quickly spread to every corner of the entire face. Roswaal collected himself, suppressed the huge ominousness that suddenly appeared in his heart, stretched out his slightly trembling right hand, and pinched the corner of the page on the right.

"How could it be blank?"

I no longer have the energy to play a buffoon with a strange tone, so the voice at this time is no different from that of a normal person, and it is even magnetic. It is a youthful voice with great recognizability and personal charm.However, the forcibly suppressed negative emotions in the voice were like the silence before the storm, which made people feel inexplicably panicked.

Lowering his head, Roswaal stared at the blank paper with his eyes of different colors. Roswaal slowly turned to the second page, and then... the same blank came into view, smashing the last hope in his heart like a heavy hammer smash.

His heart suddenly contracted, and his mind went blank. He froze at this moment, and after a while, he moved his fingers again.

"Will not……"

Whispering softly, Roswaal turned a page again, but what he got was still blank.

"impossible……"

Turning another page, the result is still blank.

"How can the contents of the book disappear..."

The movement of turning pages gradually accelerated, and the eyeballs moved quickly, but what I saw was still a piece of blank paper.

"How can I allow... the future foretold, my future, the future that can save her..."

Crash... The voices of unbelievable, unbelievable, unwilling to believe, and unwilling to believe gradually disappeared into the louder and more rapid page-turning sound.Not long after, the book in his hand finally reached the last page, and what appeared in his eyes was still that dazzling blank.

"finished?"

Flipping hands, hovering over the last page.

Roswaal stared at the last page, his eyeballs moved, and his eyes flicked back and forth on the empty blank paper, searching, like a person who was about to die of thirst, using his last bit of strength to move around on the dry land Digging, trying to find the last drop of water, and finally... despair.

"The future...becomes a blank."

Disappointment, fear, anger, disillusionment, despair, emptiness... He slowly closed his eyelids, as if closing the gate, as he did thousands of times before, mixing countless different-colored pupils together, forming a thick desire like a swamp torrent. The emotions that were released were forcibly locked back to the deepest part of my heart.

Suddenly, the whole study seemed to be isolated from the whole world, ushering in the cold and dead silence like a tomb.

After a while, Roswaal slowly opened his eyes, and closed the book slowly.

"It's useless, this world, but before it's over..."

With a blank face and cold eyes, he muttered to himself: "We must determine the real 'savior', and... eliminate the cause of the disaster."

……

"Master, Roswaal-sama is back, please go to the restaurant with Ram."

During breakfast time, the pink-haired maid found Su Qi who was exercising in the morning, and guided him to the dining room.There, he met the owner of the mansion, Roswaal L. Mezzas who dressed himself up like a clown.

At first glance, it looks like a dead silence, but there is still a glimmer of hope, and the mood swings that have not completely died...

The moment they met, Su Qi used his real pupils to glimpse the completely different emotional state of the other party and other people, and realized that under the seemingly weird smiling mask, there was hidden Bo Yun's treacherous and complicated thoughts, and there was a deeper hidden meaning. The huge malice and killing intent that are not released.

Then breakfast began, and everyone in the mansion gathered in the dining room, and the two maids arranged a plate of ground food on the large long dining table in an orderly manner.

Because of the change of the plot and Su Qi's training, Subaru Nayue did not act rashly like in the original book and was rude to Roswaal.After the meal, Roswaal officially introduced the current situation of the kingdom and the relationship with Emilia, and thanked Su Qi for helping to retrieve the badge, and asked them what reward they wanted.

"Hmph, this is a good opportunity... Dear Ross, I'm a greedy man, maybe I'll squeeze you dry."

Natsuki Subaru showed a villainous face.For this, the maid sisters looked down upon him, Emilia was worried, Parker and Beatrice ignored him, Su Qi watched him perform quietly, and Roswaal...

"It's okay." He looked at Natsuki Subaru with a smile, and said calmly, "In order to cover up the fact that I lost my badge, I'm willing to pay anything, so come on, tell me, what do you want?"

"In this case, there is only one answer..."

Nayuki Subaru slapped the table and stood up, pointing to Roswaal... Emilia next to him, "I will be loyal to the world's cutest Emilia-chan! So please let me stay here and serve as a valet for the time being! "

The restaurant suddenly became silent. Except for Parker and Beatrice, who were still playing and feeding PLAY as if no one else was there, and Su Qi calmly ate the soup with a spoon, everyone else was a little surprised.

"why?"

The one who was most surprised was none other than Emilia.But she was not happy because of it, instead she felt confused and a little angry for no reason, "Why did Subaru make such a request? He really wanted to repay you, but you said that he wanted to be a servant. Subaru is too desireless." Please!"

"I'm serious, Emilia-chan, this is the reward I want..."

Nayuki Subaru responded seriously, and then looked at Roswaal, "So dear Ros, what do you think?"

"It can save a lot of money, get a labor force, and keep you close to monitor to avoid information leakage... Personally, I like this request~ I like it."

Closing one eye again, and only staring at him with that yellow pupil, Roswaal said quietly: "But I am a little concerned, why are you so obsessed with Lady Emilia?"

"Of course it's because I like it. No, it should be said that I like it very much. Therefore, it should be easy to understand that I want to help."

"Then why do you want to be a servant?"

"Because I basically don't know anything now, so I can only do this for the time being." Natsuki Subaru said calmly: "Of course, besides this, I also want to take the opportunity to stay by Emilia-chan's side, and someone will arrange my food, clothing, housing and transportation." the elements of."

"That's why, you want to stay under the same roof with the girl you love, and take the opportunity to build a good relationship..." The bewitching brilliance flowed in the yellow pupils, Roswaal examined the former for a while, and finally nodded , smiled and said: "Yes, I will let you ~ become a servant of this mansion."

"Yeah! Goal achieved!"

Ignoring someone who was gesticulating poss excitedly, he turned to look at Su Qi, "So this guest, what request do you want to make?"

"Just let me be a diner." The latter responded calmly, "And it won't take long, a few months at most, and I will leave here. As a great noble family that has been passed down for more than four hundred years, the Roswaal family should not You can’t even afford to feed a salted fish waiting to die?”

"Of course ~ impossible, but is that all you want?"

"Yeah, that's all. I'm not like that greedy idiot over there, and I'm content."

"The two guests are companions, right?" Looking at Su Qi with one eye, Roswaal inquired, "But why did one choose to stay, while the other chose to leave?"

"The world is so big, I want to see it. And we are just fellow villagers. For some reason, we are traveling together temporarily, and the relationship has not reached the point where we advance and retreat together."

"Understood..." He slightly lowered his eyelids, "As long as you promise not to reveal your badge after you leave, guests can stay as long as they want."

While speaking, Su Qi clearly sensed that the killing intent in Roswaal's heart emerged, and it was aimed at... himself.

Why did Roswaal have such a big hatred towards me from the very beginning?

Su Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to wait and see what happened.

Although in the original plot, Roswaal is basically fishing for fish, but as Emilia's biggest supporter and the only supporter in the Kingdom of Lugnica, he is an indispensable existence in the protagonist's camp.

In addition, this is Roswaal's territory, Ram is a Roswaal control, Rem is a sister control, Natsuki Subaru is an Emilia control... Once there is a direct conflict with Roswaal, it is likely to implicate everyone People, let the plot completely collapse, and have to reincarnate again.

Therefore, when the other party did not take any real action, Su Qi would not act desperately because he sensed the other party's hostility.But if you don't do it, you don't do it. It is necessary to prepare and be vigilant in advance, and with the pupil of the truth, the whole mansion is within his vision. easy job.

……

For the next four days, Su Qi's life was very monotonous.Except for occasionally practicing martial arts, recuperating the body, and training Nayue Subaru, he just stayed in the library or the forbidden library and couldn't come out.At the same time, there is personal monitoring from the gods, and the pupil of reality has no blind angle perspective. Even if he lives in the library, he can keep abreast of the situation in the mansion in time.

Contrary to Su Qi, who enjoys a relaxed life, Nayue Subaru swallows the bitter fruit, being exhausted by the heavy chores every day, dying.But because of this, he and the other people in the house are gradually getting acquainted with each other through constant interactions, and the relationship is gradually developing on the positive side.

However, life will not go on so smoothly forever.

"Because of a certain emergency, I have to go out for a while, and I don't expect to be back until tomorrow... So everyone, the safety of the mansion is temporarily entrusted to you."

At lunchtime on the fourth day, Roswaal suddenly announced the news, which made Su Qi, who was already prepared, immediately vigilant.

Is it finally time to make a move?
