Twelve Trials from Scratch

Caiyue Subaru was startled slightly, then lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "No, even if that's the case, weak is weak, and incompetent is incompetent. It's like I collapsed twice in that world line, just like I lost to Just like you, even if I can start over again, I still can’t win against the absolute strong.”

"That's because I'm not affected by your ability." Su Qidao: "No one in this world is absolutely perfect, and I am the same. So as long as you keep testing and keep moving forward, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."

"But I'm just an ordinary person, and I probably won't make it to the end. Death, that horrible thing, that kind of pain, no matter how many times I experience it, I can't overcome it."

"Then just watch Emilia die."

Nayue Subaru shuddered, and his face turned pale, "No! That kind of thing... how could I do that kind of thing?"

"Then what are you going to do? Kneel down to the enemy and ask them to let you go?"

"But... isn't there Su Qisang? Su Qisang is so strong, just like before, wouldn't it be good to defeat all those enemies quickly?"

"I'm afraid you are living in a dream! As I said before, I will leave after completing my mission and killing those bosses. After that, whether you live or die, I can't control it even if I want to. So If you count on me, you should be mentally prepared to die as soon as possible."

"Then what should we do?"

"Ask yourself, coward! Even another Subaru Natsuki can defeat the white whale, defeat the archbishop, and become a hero in the hearts of others, but you, Subaru Natsuki, who has more information and better conditions than him, can do it." Can't you? Then why don't you just call yourself 'trash' from today on?"

Caiyue Subaru's heart trembled, and shame gushed out like a flood, instantly washing away all the excuses and obstacles he had set up.

I've been cornered, there's nowhere to escape... That's right, there's no reason why I can't do what Subaru Natsuki can do, so... I'm just scared, I'm just running away, I'm just... ...don't want to die...

"Subaru, it's too ugly." At this moment, Parker, who had been on the sidelines, finally said with a complicated expression, "Didn't you say that you want to become Leah's knight? But if courage and awareness only have this level, I absolutely will not." I'll give Leah to you!"

"Oh?" Su Qi continued, "The implication is that if a coward can protect Emilia and make you change your mind, are you willing to give your daughter to him?"

Nayue Subaru's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes shimmered unconsciously.

"Well, although I really don't want to hand over Liya to others, the most important task of a father is to protect his daughter, so if someone can do better than me, I can't help admitting him."

After all, Parker glanced at Subaru Natsuki, resting his chin with his paws, and said thoughtfully: "But compared to this, I am more interested in the other Subaru. If you want to choose a partner, I still let you It would be better for Ria to marry another Subaru."

"You guys... are actually using the aggressive method on me, right?"

Caiyue Subaru blushed and looked up at Su Qi and Parker.Although I said that in my mouth, and I knew in my heart that it was probably the case, but... the sorrow and unwillingness constantly emerging from the depths of my heart were not false at all.

He knows that the emotion that burns and erodes him like a will-o'-the-wisp is called jealousy.He is jealous of another self, he is eating another Natsuki Subaru's jealousy, but even if he knows this, the jealousy and unwillingness cannot be contained, and once ignited like firewood poured on fire, it will burn more and more intensely.

At this moment, Emilia's voice like a silver bell came from not far away, "Everyone, dinner is about to start. Can we talk about it later?"

The two of them turned their heads together and saw Emilia standing at the door of the main house and waving to this side. Her naive and gorgeous face was even more flawless in the sun, radiant and radiant, with long silver hair. Blowing gently in the wind, the light overflows, coupled with a dress with white as the main color, it is as holy and beautiful as a goddess.

And behind her, the blue-haired maid Rem and the pink-haired maid Ram also came out. Similar figures looked in this direction like a mirror.

Su Qi asked again, "Naiyue Subaru, do you want to watch them die?"

Do you want to watch them die?

Nayuki Subaru was silent, glanced over, and first fell on Emilia, who was so pure and kind that she seemed like a fantasy, but was like porcelain, and would break if not carefully protected; Don't look back, save yourself in another world line, Rem who will never change until death; finally there is Ram who is gentle and meticulous, no matter last time or this time, who takes good care of herself.

Am I going to watch them die?Can I do this! ?

Once again questioning myself in my heart, the answer naturally emerged in my heart.

"What a joke!"

The fear of death has not disappeared, and the cloud of failure is still lingering in my heart, but I can't stop, but I can't allow myself to give up.They were weighed down by something heavier than fear and failure, which was both a responsibility and a treasure.

Even if he knows that he may face failure, even if he knows that he may fall halfway, he is willing to carry the heavy treasure on his back and keep moving forward. Even if he can never reach the end, he will carry it until he completely falls and can no longer stand. until you get up!

"How is it possible to do such a thing?"

A faint ray of light lit up from the pupils of the eyes, and then burned all the haze like wildfire.

"I... am Emilia-chan's knight!"

Saying so, Subaru Natsuki, who called himself a knight, stepped forward.

One step, two steps, three steps... His feet stepped on the solid ground, as if he was gradually taking off the heavy shackles, his steps became faster and lighter, and he quickly started running, like a road full of vitality. He rushed towards Emilia like a husky.

"Emilia-chan, your knight is resurrected!!"

Looking at a certain idiot who was yelling and rushing over, Su Qi raised his mouth slightly, and extended his palm to Parker, "Have a nice cooperation, Mr. Parker."

Parker's cat also had a smile on its face, and stretched out its pink and tender paws to pat on the outstretched palm, "Have a nice cooperation, Brother Su Qi."

"It's still too young, both psychologically and scheming."

Su Qi withdrew his hand and said so while walking.

"That's right." Parker said while flying slowly to keep up, "So Subaru still needs the help of others, and needs more learning and growth. However, the immature Subaru is more energetic and alive than the experienced us. feeling."

"It sounds like I'm very old, but I'm a forever 17 years old boy."

"Is that really the case? Although you look young on the outside, according to my feeling, your mental age is already very close to mine."

"No, no, no, even if all the time of subjective experience is added, I'm not even a hundred years old, far behind you."

"Even if that's the case, I'm getting old and rotten in terms of mentality."

"So you're rotten?"

"If there is no Liya, yes, so the meaning of my existence now is Liya."

"It's so upright that it might even be misunderstood that it's a perverted daughter who speaks."

Although he was smiling and teasing, Su Qi's eyes didn't show the slightest hint of teasing, only seriousness and thoughtfulness.

"Because I've lived for too long and experienced too much, except for things related to Liya, there are not many things that I can be attached to. Brother Su Qi, you probably haven't found something that can support you yet?"

What holds me up...my anchor...what is it?

Su Qi thought about this question again, but still couldn't find the answer.At the beginning, he tried to use the goal of "going home" as his anchor point, but maybe it was the loss of humanity, maybe he had more colorful and wonderful experiences, unknowingly, that peaceful and comfortable home has become Can't make too many waves in his heart.

Similarly, if you want to forcefully find reasons, you can find a lot of them at will, but things that cannot touch your heart and yourself will naturally not penetrate into your personality and cannot become an anchor point.

So he took the opportunity to ask, "So, how can I find something?"

But Parker's answer was, "Unfortunately, that kind of thing can't be tricked."

"Sure enough...if you can't find it all the time, what will happen?"

"I don't know very well. It will probably become something like a so-called god or a stone."

"Gods and stones are really hard to compare, but they are two things that are surprisingly similar in essence."

Su Qi sighed lightly, remained silent for a moment, and changed the subject, "Forget it, this kind of thing can't be rushed, let's talk about other topics first."

"Is it about Roswaal?"

"how about?"

"As you expect and as you wish, I will remain silent."

Nayue Subaru is not as capable of controlling his thoughts as Su Qi. Parker, who can read shallow thoughts, has been in contact with him so many times beside Emilia, even if it is because the witch is jealous that he cannot read information related to the return of death. , knowing that Su Qi and Nayue Subaru have differences, but it is possible to be hostile to Roswaal.

Conversely, Parker and Roswaal have lived in the same place for so long, even if the latter is good at hiding his thoughts, it is impossible for Parker to know his true attitude towards Emilia, so Parker and Roswaal The relationship between them is definitely not good, and may even be hostile to each other.

In order to avoid mistakes on Parker in the future, Su Qi simply opened up with him at this moment and reached a consensus.After comparing the value of Roswaal, Su Qi, and Nayue Subaru to Emilia, Parker chose to "collaborate" with Su Qi without hesitation.

"Very well, in this way, the only thing left is to deal with the mess after that person's absence."

"About that point, it's not a big trouble, maybe it's a good thing."

"Oh? Could it be that Emilia has a good relationship with the heir of the Mezzas family?"

"That's right."

Parker folded his arms, and said leisurely: "Mezzas is the head of the family, and Milod is the branch. Because Roswaal, the head of the Mezas family, has no heirs, so if there is an accident, the head of the Milod family is The first in line of succession. And now the head of the Milod family is named Anne Luojie Milord, who just happens to have a good impression of Liya and respects Roswaal... If she inherits Mezza As far as the property and title of the Si family are concerned, it is likely that they will continue to support Emilia in the election of the king."

"So that's how it is." Su Qi said very sincerely: "I hope everything goes well, that way, I can save a lot of time fishing."

It seems that the will of the universe in the dark really heard his prayer, and the next thing went very smoothly.

First of all, that night, Su Qi sneaked out and waited outside Alam Village, successfully defending the three terrorists who were planning to launch an attack as agreed.Then he yelled "Demacia", jumped out of the grass, successfully used the strong to bully the weak, killed the three people on the spot without making much noise, and then dug a hole to bury them, showing the unscrupulousness of the old man who eats chickens demeanor.

A few days later, the fact of Roswaal's disappearance was confirmed. Faced with the doubts of Ram who was in a bad mood, Su Qi laid out the facts, reasoned, and showed his acting skills. With his spiritual skills, Natsuki Subaru, who was anxious about his acting skills, was easily brought over and passed the level successfully.

As for how Roswaal can replenish the magic without Ram, a certain soft-spoken loli took over the job.Although, as an unowned elf, she herself lacks magical power in a sense, but with four hundred years of savings, it is not a problem to provide a Ram.

Finally, it was Anne Luojie's succession to Mezas as the master.Generally speaking, it was as expected by Parker. The Patriarch, who was less than ten years old, really had a good impression of Emilia, and was willing to inherit Roswaal's unfinished will and continue to support Emilia's participation in the king's election.

Compared with Roswaal, who has a gloomy mind, a cold personality, a weird personal image, and unscrupulous means to achieve his goals; although this one is young, he is extremely intelligent, but he acts a little impatiently, cares too much about other people's attitudes, and always likes to show his "majesty" "The tsundere young girl on one side is even more favored by Su Qi.

However, it was precisely because Anne Luojie was young that although she, as the head of the two families, had decided to continue to support Emilia, some family members still strongly opposed this matter.After all, Emilia is a half-devil, and investing in her has no chance of winning, and it will definitely be a loss-making business.

The newly appointed head of the young daughter's family is very annoyed by this.With the idea of ​​finishing what he did, Su Qi, who is a diner, recommends himself. He treats people with sincerity, equality and mutual benefit, and quickly convinces (physically) all the stubborn opponents, and wins the appreciation of the young female patriarch.

After that, Su Qi spent most of his time studying magic, or thinking about how to find a suitable anchor point for his thoughts, and occasionally took time out to train Nayue Subaru—shortly after that conversation, Su Qi took his improved " Nayue Subaru was taught the idea of ​​Fudo Ming Wang Guan. As long as he can break through the first floor, he should not have a mental breakdown at every turn.

It's a pity that 486 deserves to be the protagonist of the mediocre stream, and his aptitude in this area is also mediocre. He was trained by Su Qi's hell style for nearly [-] days, but he just barely passed the initial threshold.

In this way, the peaceful and fulfilling days passed slowly, until nearly a month before the two of them traveled to this world, a dragon carriage carrying messengers visited the new Mezas home.

I didn’t make up the head of the young girl, the related story is in the side story “Emilia’s Way of a Maid”...

Chapter 35 The young lady is full of majesty

The visitor's name was Felix Argyle, a member of the Knights of the Guards, who was instructed by the Council of Sages to come to Mezas's house to inform the convening of the King Candidate Emilia Assembly.

Because Su Qi changed the plot, Nayue Subaru did not fight against the monsters, and the door using magic was not damaged, so he naturally did not need to be treated by Felix, who is the strongest magician of the water system; Most of the instructions from the Council are nothing more than diplomatic rhetoric without nutrition.

So after the brief conversation, the visitor left in a dragon carriage.

"Should I say it's luck? The original enemy suddenly suffered a serious injury or something. Even though Crusch-sama is the enemy, that one has no chance of winning in the first place, nya."

On the dragon carriage leaving Mezas territory, Felix, who was sitting on the seat, had bright eyes and slightly raised the corners of his mouth happily.

From the appearance, he is slender, with fair skin, pretty and lovely face, two cute cat ears on his flaxen-colored mid-length hair, a fluffy blue and white dress with black pantyhose over his body Wearing a pair of blue and white knee socks with lace trim, and a big white bow on the back of the waist... All in all, although she has a male name and her real gender is also a male, she is a hard-edged girl with few male characteristics in her appearance. Talk about a male type of women's clothing boss.

As a result, he prefers to be called Phyllis by the name Phyllis rather than the more masculine name Felix.

In addition to her identity as a Knight of the Guards, Phyllis also has another identity that she considers more important, that is, to pledge allegiance to Duke Crusch Karsten, another guardian knight of the king's candidate.

So this time, in addition to conveying the instructions of the Sage Council, he also has a task issued by himself, which is to observe the reality of Emilia's camp as much as possible, and collect information on another king candidate who is likely to become the enemy.

"Phyllis, careless people don't live long on the battlefield."

The person who made such a warning was the coachman driving ahead, but his awe-inspiring and upright temperament is by no means something that ordinary coachmen can possess, because his main occupation is not a coachman, but a swordsman, and he is also the king of Lugnica. One of the top swordsmen.

Wilhelm Van Astrea, a strong man with the title of "Sword Demon".

At this time, he was already old, but he was still burly, with a body reminiscent of the words "thousands of tempering" and his side face like a knife-cut axe, without showing the slightest aging.His back is always straight, his white hair is neatly tied up behind his head, and his gestures are powerful, giving people the impression of being as cold and sharp as a sword.
