Rubbish protagonist, I can do it too!

Rem's head hung lower, her blue hair covered most of her face, her body trembling, she bit her lower lip and whispered: "Yes."

There is an undefinable sense of alienation between them. No one would like someone who almost killed him and caused him great psychological trauma.

Matou Shinji didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Rem, are you free to accompany me to finish the magic that I didn't finish last night? I want to know the language of this country."

"At your disposal."

Chapter 115 The Clown and the Alliance

Just after breakfast, Matou Shinji was invited by the owner of this mansion, Roswaal, to the study for a discussion.

"I am the owner of this mansion, Roswaal L. Mezzas." The man dressed as a clown sat at the desk, with a smile on his face, introducing himself in a weird tone.

Hey.

Shinji Matou sat opposite the clown, sighing silently in his heart. How should I put it? He should be used to similar things. Since it is a Japanese RPG world, he should not have the luxury of having any serious characters appear.

However, the strongest magician in the kingdom dressed up like this is really unacceptable to Matou Shinji. In addition, this clown also gives Matou Shinji a vague impression of "perversion".

Probably his voice.

Shinji Matou murmured in his heart, but he could still hear who this highly recognizable voice belonged to. Although the impression of the character could not be substituted into the voice actor, the voice actor who voiced Roswaal in his memory played an indecent role full-time.

To voice the clown is simply tailor-made for that voice actor.

The smile of Roswaal dressed as a clown reveals an elusive taste: "Mr. Matou Shinji, I have heard the details of the incident from Lord Emilia and Ram. Thank you very much for your assistance. Whether it is retrieving the badge or eliminating the famous assassin [Intestinal Hunter] in the capital, it is an achievement that cannot be repaid by me. Therefore, no matter what kind of request you make, as Ai Mi I have no room to refuse Lady Liya’s supporters.”

Matou Shinji leaned back in the chair, and looked at Roswaal's face: "Emilia should have said the conditions I proposed."

"Of course, from now on you are a distinguished guest in this mansion, and you can browse my collection of books at will. However, the knowledge contained in the library in Bermezzas on the border of the Lugnika Kingdom is more precious than the kingdom's treasury. As a reward You are only allowed to browse freely for one week, and you are not allowed to dabble in some forbidden books."

Matou Shinji nodded: "That's enough."

The clown was stunned and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be satisfied so easily. Wouldn't all the topics I prepared next be of use?"

Matou Shinji raised his eyebrows lightly, indicating to continue.

"Ahem, in fact, Mr. Matou Shinji, you are a traveling magician. The achievement of eliminating the intestine hunters proves your strength. From Emilia's transaction, it shows that you like knowledge. If this is the case, we will do it too. How about a deal?"

"Mr. Roswaal, please tell me that what I'm after is valuable knowledge, and I'm happy to exchange it for that."

"The price I pay is to allow you to read the books in the library without restriction. The exchange is that you join us and help Emilia become the king of this kingdom. To be honest, compared with other kingdom candidates, our preparations are still a little bit It’s not enough, and we urgently need people like you to join us.”

"It's not a good joke for an immature girl to be the king of this country."

Roswaal said with a smile: "Regarding this, the situation of the Kingdom of Lugnica is rather special. You will understand in the future. What do you think of this transaction?"

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Matou Shinji nodded: "Do my best."

"Oh~!"

The smile on Roswaal's clown face became brighter, and he stretched out his right hand to Matou Shinji, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Very good! No, it's great! I, Roswaal L. Mazas, took this The owner of the mansion welcomes you as a supporter of Lord Emilia, Mr. Shinji Matou."

Matou Shinji held back his discomfort and reached out to shake his hand.

Roswaal called the two maids: "Ram, Rem, come in."

"Excuse me." The blue-haired and pink-haired maids pushed the door in, bowed tacitly, and stood aside.

"Then let's talk about the second thing. I am deeply sorry for the incident that Rem acted without authorization and attacked you yesterday. Although it is not to defend her actions, the two sisters were attacked by the Witch Cult a few hours later and lost their lives. All the family members, and you have a very strong witch aura, and you can easily be mistaken for someone related to the Witch Cult, that's why Rem lost his mind and did such impulsive things, and it's all because of my poor discipline as the master." Roswaal stood up , bowing and apologizing with his right hand on his chest, with a serious and sincere voice.

"This matter is over, and I have no intention of pursuing it." Matou Shinji glanced at the maid next to him, and said indifferently.

Roswaal shook his head: "Although the circumstances are excusable, it is a fact that Rem almost made a big mistake, and it is still an unforgivable mistake. Even if you don't intend to hold her accountable, as her master, I have an obligation to punish her."

"You are her master, do whatever you want, but I want her to help at night, don't be too strict, at least keep her mobility and eyesight."

Roswaal chuckled: "You are so funny, since Rem has such an important role to you, I order as the master, Rem, the result of your punishment is that when Mr. Matou Shinji was our ally, You are no longer the maid of this mansion, you will become Mr. Shinji's full-time maid, responsible for taking care of Mr. Shinji's daily life."

Rem bowed: "Yes, I understand."

Roswaal turned his head to Shinji Matou with a smile and said, "Are you satisfied with the result of this punishment?"

"It will be a lot more convenient for me. I still don't know a lot about this country, so I just need a local to introduce it."

"It's good to be satisfied. Speaking of which, Mr. Matou Shinji, which country are you from?"

"There are many incredible things in this world, some of which no one will believe even if they are told. Regarding my identity, I hope you will not explore too much."

Roswaal clasped his hands, twisted his body and murmured ambiguously: "It's really mysterious, the more mysterious it is, the more curious it is, ah, I can hardly restrain my thirst for knowledge."

This guy really is a pervert.

The corner of Matou Shinji's mouth twitched, suddenly regretting the alliance.

······

At night, the palace-like manor is peaceful.

Tuk Tuk~

"Come in." Matou Shinji stood on a complex refining array in the room, with a focused look on his face, carefully controlling the magic movement of the refining array. The refining array will continue to absorb the magic power of this world and analyze its nature.

Strictly speaking, there are no elements in this world, and magic of different attributes is born from magic power. The nature of magic power in this world is closer to the true ether of the moon world.

Rem pushed the door open and said respectfully: "Master Shen Er, I have sorted out the information you requested about the kingdom and some basic magic knowledge."

There was also a cart in the corridor outside the door, filled with more books than yesterday.

"Thanks for your hard work. Next, we will complete the magic that was not completed yesterday." Shinji Matou walked out of the formation and nodded to Rem.

Rem nodded stiffly: "Yes."

Rem came and sat down in front of Matou Shinji, repeating the steps from last night, clasping each other's hands, and forming a shallow mental resonance through magic.

In this state, the two can communicate at a shallow level, including conveying their own meaning without words, emotional interaction, and so on.

The moment the magic took effect, as Matou Shinji expected, Rem felt a strong sense of hostility and rejection from his consciousness, and this hostility also contained fear, like a lone wolf being cornered facing a hunter.

Although it is much better than last night, it still affects the empathy of thinking.

"I'm sorry." Rem apologized hastily. Unlike being irritated by the witch's breath last night and ignoring the communication information from Matou Shinji, she can also feel peaceful emotions from Matou Shinji's consciousness, even in the face of her strong There was no wave of hostility either.

Like an old man who sees things through the world, he is stable and peaceful, but not lifeless.

Matou Shinji didn't pay much attention to the hostility from Rem, and said in a gentle and soothing tone, "Rem, relax a little bit, too much tension will affect the effect of magic, and too much hostility will reject my thinking."

"I am so sorry."

After a while, although Rem's hostility has decreased, the excessively tense spirit can't achieve the effect Matou Shinji wants, so he has cut off the empathy of thinking, and can't quickly grasp the words of this world through empathy, please go now Emilia or that pink maid Ram is not suitable.

He had to find a way to establish a good relationship with this blue-haired maid, and at worst he had to eliminate the strong hostility.

Rem looked gloomy, and noticed Matou Shinji forced a smile out of his eyes.

She recognized Matou Shinji's identity as an ally, but she still couldn't ignore Matou Shinji's witch aura.

"All in all, tonight, you will introduce to me the history of this country, and the ins and outs of King Emilia's election." Shinji Matou rubbed his temples and ordered.

"Yes."

Rem nodded vigorously, found a book from the cart outside, opened it and introduced it: "Master Shinji and Emilia-sama form an alliance, so it is best to tell history from the time when the king was still called the Lion King." Appropriate, at that time, the Kingdom of Lugnica had not concluded a contract with Shenlong..."

Chapter 116 Dark Cuisine

During the day, the lazy sunlight passes through the slits of the curtains and sprinkles on the carpet, providing some light for the dimly lit room.

On the soft bed, the blue-haired maid Rem fell asleep holding a thick book, breathing evenly, leaving half of her eyes covered by the sea. When she was calm, her face was cute and cute. It was completely impossible to imagine her and last night. The madman is the same person.

There was a chair next to the bed, and Shinji Matou sat on it, with his legs crossed, using a notebook to record the history of the Qinlong Kingdom Lugnica, the whole story of the king's election, the list of candidates for the king, and so on.

After listening to Rem's explanation all night, Matou Shinji almost understood the current situation.

"With the addition of Felut found by Juggernaut Reinhardt, there are currently five candidates for the king. It shouldn't take long for the king's election to officially begin."

"The period is three years, and the king candidates will be selected based on their contributions and reputation."

"Typical Japanese play house politics."

"But it's not incomprehensible. After all, it is a country blessed by the so-called dragons, away from natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"Then, Emilia can be said to be the next lottery among all the candidates for the king."

"She is a half-elf, and her appearance is similar to the legendary envious witch Shatila, and her political ideas are not bright."

"However, if I have to say, the five king candidates adhere to the ideals, I still prefer Emilia, and the declared ideals are close to GC doctrine."

Matou Shinji used Chinese to record his analysis in his notebook, many of the contents were just hearsay by Rem, so he couldn't easily draw conclusions.

All in all, in order to improve Emilia's winning rate, it is very necessary to give her supplementary political lessons. The name of the textbook, Matou Shinji, has already been thought of. .

Rem fell asleep unknowingly while explaining to Matou Shinji in the early morning, and probably won't wake up for a while.

Matou Shinji himself has already learned the magic of dividing his mind, let alone one night, even a week without sleep will not cause any problems.

"It's almost time to go out for breakfast, and find more opportunities to get in touch with Emilia." Shinji Matou stretched and stood up from the chair, went to the bedside, covered Rem with a quilt, and went to the dining room.

On the aisle covered with red carpet, Matou Shenji turned the corner and met Ram who was in a hurry. Seeing Matou Shenji's eyes lit up, she trotted over and bowed hastily, "Master Shen'er, something is wrong!"

"What's going on?" Matou Shinji frowned, one wave after another, and he couldn't help but let others have a good rest, but he didn't even fully understand what happened.

"Come with me, I need your help!"

Ram grabbed Matou Shinji's right hand without any explanation, and walked all the way to the kitchen of the mansion. You can see that the kitchen is in a mess, and there is a smell of burning from the cooking pot. There are generally peeled potatoes and a lot of vegetables beside him. Still soaking in the pool.

Ram reported in a complaining tone: "I can't take care of myself without Rem. Breakfast has not been prepared yet. If this continues, I will be scolded by Lord Roswaal, lose trust, and may become homeless." Maybe the poor maid who returned home."

Ram looked at Matou Shinji with pitiful eyes. During the conversation that night, she knew that Matou Shinji was good at cooking.

"Then what you want me to help is..." Matou Shinji pointed at the messy kitchen, dumbfounded.

Ram nodded immediately: "Yes, please deal with the potatoes here, wash them first, and then peel them."

Shinji Matou thought for a while and nodded: "Leave today's breakfast to me. Last night, I dragged Rem to explain the situation of the kingdom and the king's election. She probably won't wake up before morning."

"I see."

When it comes to cooking, this is Matou Shinji's field of expertise, not to mention that he has a deep attachment to food. Matou Shinji purely regards cooking as an alchemy experiment to complete, and he is very concerned about the quality of food, salt, seasoning, etc. strict control.

The kitchen stores a lot of ingredients, including vegetables, fruits, meats, and spices that are luxuries for civilians. The categories are almost the same as those on Earth.

"let's start."

Matou Shinji cleaned up the table top where the ingredients were placed, and drew a formation on it.

"Master Shinji, what are you doing?"

"Painting forms a formation."

"what?"

After drawing the formation, Matou Shinji found ingredients, spices, and meat and threw it into it. He clapped his hands to activate alchemy, and the formation lit up with a faint blue light, and a plate of hot and sour potato shreds was formed in a short while.

Even in the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist", only Matou Shinji's family can use alchemy to cook dishes that taste good.

"Okay." Matou Shinji removed the hot and sour potato shreds in the refining array, put in the ingredients, and continued refining the next dish.

呲味味~

Blue lights are constantly flashing, and delicious dishes are constantly being generated.

Beside, Ram was stunned by this scene, completely unable to understand what happened in front of him. He glanced at the hot food next to him. Would this kind of food made by magic be delicious?

With such doubts, Ram hesitated for a moment and picked up some to taste. The shredded potatoes were ready to eat. The soft taste and hot and sour taste stimulated her taste buds. Ram showed an incredible expression, covered his mouth and whispered: "Delicious!"

This was a taste she had never tasted before. It was very distinct and unique. She wanted to take a few bites at first, but when she thought that this was a breakfast prepared for Roswaal and the others, she reluctantly looked away and swallowed her saliva.

"Eat it with confidence, as long as there are enough materials, I can make it."

Matou Shinji looked at Ram and said with a smile, constantly using alchemy to make meals, appetizers, main courses, vegetable soup, desserts, etc., and he has also practiced the recipes including French fries, potato chips and pudding. class of snacks.

After 10 minutes passed, there were so many dishes on the table that she almost dazzled Hualam's eyes. She was still holding a plate of fruit pudding in her hand. This was the third plate she had eaten.

"This should be enough." Matou Shinji clapped his hands.

Ram put down the fruit pudding and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I'll deliver it now."

"Wait a minute." Matou Shinji stopped Ram, found a lid, covered some dishes, and performed a few more magic tricks.

"Master Shen Er, what is this for?"

"Cooking is not only about taste, color and aroma are indispensable, that is, it looks good, smells good, and tastes good. The latter two are not a problem. Now it is to add hue to these dishes. A dish that does not shine is not a good dish." Matou Shen Er answered seriously, anyway, it was to satisfy his own bad taste.
