As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

he instructed.

"So what? I'm not afraid."

She shrugged.

"Uh...okay meow."

Felix smiled bitterly.

A few minutes later - the four chosen kings were already standing side by side in the central hall, facing the agents of the major officials of the Royal Capital Council. In the kingless country where the king died - Luke In the Nikka, these are the ones who temporarily replace the king to make the country's decisions. They are equivalent to the highest-level members of the parliament. Their members are basically old die-hards. The gleam in their eyes looks like that of an old fox.

Even though the seats are filled with members of the parliament at this moment, there is still one seat that is still vacant, and that is the gorgeous golden and red throne in the center, which is the result of the king's election at this moment.

"(General...go over there.)"

Emilia turned around and saw that the general was still standing in the middle of the avenue in a daze. She quickly covered her mouth and called her in a low voice.

"?"

She came back to her senses and looked at the other party. Emilia moved her arm towards her, asking her to stand with the supporters.

"Thunder and lightning kiss~! Here~!"

On the other side, Felix, who had walked to the corresponding position while he was lost in thought, was waving to her.

"..."

She exhaled and walked to the team, actually standing with this group of white-clothed kings. Maybe because of their attire, these people in civilian clothes were very conspicuous here.

"Oh? You are indeed here, Miss Thunderbolt."

The red-haired knight who happened to be standing in front of her - Reinhardt looked back after hearing the footsteps. When he saw it was her, he showed a hearty smile and greeted her. I know she will do the same.

"Haha... I heard that Lady Emilia will attend, and I immediately wondered if you would come."

As if seeing her doubts, the other party smiled and explained to her with a shrug.

"...Who are you?"

The general held it in for a long time before he said this.

"Uh! Uh, uh... no matter what, you can't forget me in an instant, right? Ms. Raiden, I am Reinhard, I have met you before."

The other party was choked for a moment and smiled bitterly with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Ah, I remembered."

She said clearly.

"Is it possible that Raiden's relatives also know Reinhard Meow? He's quite popular, Meow~"

Felix behind her nudged her playfully, and the soft cat tail kept swaying back and forth.

"I see... You all know each other, so it will be easy to talk... I didn't expect you to know Felix, and you know quite a few knights."

Reinhardt praised her.

Yes, she even beat up the knight.

Glancing at the purple-haired man in front of the red-haired knight, she sneered inwardly.

Maybe it was because of his face, or because he couldn't lose face, Yurius never looked back, and he didn't intend to participate in the conversation between them.

"As a supporter of the king's candidate, you are not a knight, Miss Thunderbolt."

Behind Felix, the knight wearing only a black helmet and one arm interjected and asked her.

"I am indeed not a knight."

——But he can fight better than the Cavaliers.

She raised her arms and answered nonchalantly. She was not from Mondstadt.

"Haha~! That's really rare~!"

The other party touched his head, showing a lack of formal morality.

"Phyllis, be quiet."

At this moment, there might be a meeting coming soon, Crusch reminded his subordinates.

"Uh, okay."

The other party immediately stood up straight and stopped whispering.

"Al, you too, please be quiet."

Priscilla also sneered.

"As ordered."

The other party also nodded in agreement.

"(General...Shh~)"

Emilia was different. Although she asked the general to keep quiet, her tone was completely doting and gentle. She turned to her and softly mouthed her words, and quietly raised her finger to make a silent gesture. .

'I said nothing again. '

She saw it and complained in her mind.

【That’s impossible to say——】

'Shh~! '

[cough~]

Kage was quiet obediently, and the surrounding area fell into a rare silence for a while. For others, there was a sense of indifference and tension, which meant that the meeting was about to begin.

clap clap!

The old man in the parliament at the front knocked on the table and winked at an armored man with short green hair in front of the stage.

"As ordered!"

After the other party nodded, he walked in front of everyone,

"Then please allow me, Marcus, the leader of the Knights of the Guards, to boldly preside over the meeting!"

The loud and tenacious voice echoed clearly in the palace hall and reached everyone's ears.

"This happened about half a year ago. The royal family headed by the late king passed away one after another——"

It felt like this guy was going to introduce all the backgrounds they had heard before, so Anastasia, who didn't want to waste any extra energy, interrupted him directly, and at the same time attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Well, I understand that the leader wants to explain the background story smoothly, but I am also very busy."

The purple-haired girl named Anastasia raised her arms slightly... and waved her hands as if she was wasting time.

"There is a saying in Kalalaki that 'time is money'. Instead of repeating those inconsequential and well-known words... why not say something practical first?"

"For example...the purpose of why we are here."

He flipped his hair and glanced at his colleagues around him with his green eyes.

"I agree, there's no need to waste any more time on introductions."

Crusch nodded in agreement with her.

"Lord Kurosius, you also——"

"It is necessary to pay attention to etiquette, but time is very limited. It is best to tell the reason quickly, although I can almost guess the reason."

She also raised her arms like the other person and looked at several members of the council in front of her.

Isn't it just a vote for the king?

"So let's get to the point quickly."

Anastasia urged.

I feel like without your words, the background would have been introduced a long time ago.

The general groaned inwardly.

“I think we should listen carefully first——”

"I'm sorry I didn't ask for your opinion."

Just when Emilia was about to speak, Anastasia directly interrupted her and mocked her aggressively.

"No, I have the right to express my opinion, because I am also a candidate for the throne. I think it is better to listen to what is said first!"

Emilia did not admit defeat. She stepped forward tenaciously and firmly to refute what Anastasia had just said, and asked the knight in front of her to continue.

"Wow~ Not bad, the momentum is good."

Felix gossiped.

The general showed a relieved smile.

Re0~ Time travels back and forth, only you are by my side: Chapter 36 Our 'legitimate defense' is what we should do, right~?

After that, Marcus really listened to Emilia's words, and then told the back story that everyone needed to know. In fact, it was not long, just over a minute, and it was mainly the same old story——

According to the prophecy engraved on the Dragon Calendar Stone, which said 'five people who may become the new leaders of the country', a dragon witch was selected from among them and made a contract with the dragon. To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of choosing a king, but the choice The process will be relatively long and go through many processes, lasting more than a day or two, a week, a month or even longer.

That's right, five people, there are only four people present, so the meeting has not started yet, so where is the fifth person?

"Everyone! Not long ago, I found the fifth person and brought her here. Please invite this candidate to appear!"

However, Reinhardt stood up in front of the general and bowed to the parliament. As he spoke, the door was pushed open again, and everyone looked over.

The person who came was... the blond girl they met in the slums, her name seemed to be Felt, right?

It's just that the other party has taken off the tattered clothes that symbolized the slum area, and replaced it with a gorgeous golden dress. The wide fluffy skirt was a little dragged on the floor due to her height. When the girl came in, she looked a little embarrassed and uncomfortable. Resistant, but still carrying the skirt with both hands, he came to the eyes of everyone with unfamiliar steps.

I didn't expect that children in the slums would become candidates for the throne. In other words, anyone can become the king, right?Is that an exaggeration?The kingdom seemed to have a short time to live.

The general thought speechlessly.

"This child...!"

Emilia also recognized the identity of the other party. Isn't this the girl who stole her badge before?Could it be that what I did before was because of...

No, it shouldn't be. Judging from the other party's words and deeds at that time, it didn't look like he wanted to participate in the king's election. So why now?

Not only her, but the other three were also looking at each other.
