After a while, Fang Rui and Elsa were eating. The vegetable stew tasted ordinary, just edible.
"No way! How can a maid's cooking skills be so poor?"
"Maid..." Elsa had a bad feeling.
“That’s right, a maid.” Fang Rui repeated the key word to let her know that he hadn’t misheard.
Elsa's expression was indifferent, and her tone was resolute: "I refuse!"
"Refusal is invalid! What right does a prisoner have to refuse?"
Fang Rui's words left Elsa speechless. As a prisoner, she really had no right to make any demands.
"Cleaning, cooking, warming the bed... all sorts of tasks will be your responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Elsa took a deep breath and replied in a low voice, "...Okay!"
A high degree of freedom means she has the opportunity to escape.
"Very good!" Fang Rui said with a smile. "Then let's begin fulfilling our duties as maids from now on!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the tent: "To warm the bed!"
"Oh! Right, I need to boil some water and take a bath first. I can't go anywhere covered in mud and sand..."
Fang Rui took the bathtub out of his storage ring, and Elsa's pupils contracted slightly.
Spatial magic is extremely rare, and very few people can use it.
If this person possesses magic that allows for spatial teleportation, then she must solve this problem if she wants to escape.
"Okay!" Elsa picked up the kettle and poured water into the bucket.
During the cooking process, she had already discovered that the kettle was a magical artifact. The small kettle contained a large amount of water, which was completely inconsistent with its actual capacity.
Afterward, she walked around the bathtub and discovered that it didn't need firewood. There were several buttons about 30 centimeters off the ground. Pressing the green button would start the bathtub heating up.
While waiting for the water to boil, Fang Rui and Elsa chatted, mainly with Fang Rui asking Elsa about her experiences and the assassin organization...
There were some things Elsa didn't want to say, and Fang Rui didn't force her to.
at the same time……
As Reinhard explained the details of the matter to Felt, he regained his composure and remembered what he had forgotten: Fang Rui, whom he had abandoned.
Because Felt was of greater importance, Reinhard did not search for Fang Rui himself, but instead sent someone to search for him.
Unfortunately, Fang Rui had been gone for a long time, and the knights got nothing.
Subaru and Emilia, on the other hand, set off for Roswaal's territory and were currently on their way...
Having not experienced many reincarnations, Natsuki Subaru is full of curiosity about the other world, asking all sorts of questions and learning about its customs and culture.
Furthermore, Subaru Natsuki is currently tainted by the lowest level of the witch's scent, and Elsa has not escaped back to the assassin organization, so the time when Subaru Natsuki will give up his first blood will likely be delayed.
If nothing unexpected happens...
After all, who knows what the mastermind behind it all is thinking?
Fang Rui thought to himself, tested the water temperature, then turned off the heater and switched to keep it warm before taking a bath...
At first, Fang Rui had the idea of taking a bath together with Elsa, but the story Elsa told made him give up on the idea.
However, the idea of using Elsa as a body pillow remained unchanged.
A dozen minutes later, after finishing his bath, Fang Rui, now dressed in clean clothes, handed Elsa a maid outfit.
"You should take a shower too!"
After saying that, Fang Rui left, showing Elsa the respect she deserved.
However, upon seeing Fang Rui leave, Elsa did not hesitate at all, threw off her maid outfit, and began to run away.
"Tsk! So decisive..."
Fang Rui left a tracking mark on Elsa, allowing him to pinpoint her location. He knew her location the moment she tried to escape.
He teleported to Elsa's side, then teleported back to the bathtub.
"Don't wander off, it's time to rest!"
Afterwards, Fang Rui left the place again and looked up at the starry sky from ten meters away.
Seeing this, Elsa realized that she couldn't escape by conventional means, so she decided to stay by Fang Rui's side for a while and look for a suitable opportunity.
One person takes a bath, while another gazes at the starry sky, contemplating certain matters.
"I've discovered something interesting."
"An adjacent world..."
"Were the several portals formed naturally, or were they created by a powerful force?"
I don't intend to delve into the details, but two worlds so close together should be very suitable for testing interdimensional portals, especially since the current world has the power to summon people from other worlds, which can serve as a reference...
"Great! I'll just go directly to the witch who possesses this power and ask her about the underlying principles."
"Should we find a time traveler and investigate?"
"Let's find the transmigrator first! After all, that witch isn't in a very good state right now."
As he was saying this, Fang Rui heard the sound of clothes being put on behind him, and after a while, the sound stopped.
Fang Rui turned to Elsa and praised her, "Very beautiful!"
Elsa didn't say anything upon hearing this and went into the tent on her own.
Chapter 371 The Deal with the Witch
The next day, early in the morning.
Fang Rui slowly opened his eyes, hugging the soft, warm "pillow," and while waiting for his sleepiness to completely dissipate, he looked at Elsa's delicate face.
A second, or two later, Elsa suddenly opened her eyes and met Fang Rui's gaze. After a moment of silence, Fang Rui, seemingly wanting to make small talk, asked, "...When did you wake up?"
"...I just woke up a little while ago." Elsa looked away, closed her eyes slightly, and responded softly.
The truth is that she hadn't slept all night. She was thinking about escaping, about launching a sneak attack, and also suspected that Fang Rui was pretending to be asleep... Various guesses and emotions surfaced one after another, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.
She naturally couldn't tell Fang Rui what was on her mind. The reason he was keeping her around was currently unknown, as was his bottom line. Therefore, she had to be more discreet to avoid crossing his line.
"Is that so..." Sensing something amiss, Fang Rui guessed that Elsa was hiding something. He didn't press for details, but instead gently patted Elsa's shoulder and instructed, "Go prepare breakfast!"
Upon hearing this, Elsa threw back the covers, slowly sat up, and her plain pink pajamas came into Fang Rui's view. Without changing her clothes, Elsa left the tent...
The tent door opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, bringing Fang Rui a bit of coolness. He quickly changed his clothes, then came out of the tent, looked around at the slightly misty forest for a while, and then turned to look at Elsa who was cooking porridge...
As a maid, Elsa's cooking skills are undoubtedly subpar, and she must be trained by a highly skilled chef.
Where can you find a chef with superb culinary skills?
Nobles were very good at enjoying life and would not deprive themselves of food. Therefore, the private chefs in noble families were quite skilled in cooking.
A skilled chef will become famous sooner or later; you can ask local famous restaurants where to find a chef.
On the other hand, Fang Rui is looking for time travelers. Currently, there are two time travelers: one is a knight under a nobleman, and the other is about to become a servant of a nobleman's family.
Therefore, Fang Rui chose the first option: to learn from the chef of a noble family...
Who should we contact first?
After a moment's thought, Fang Rui made his decision. After breakfast, he packed up his camping gear, teleported with Elsa to Priscilla's territory, and quickly found someone—a one-armed warrior wearing a helmet, dressed somewhat haphazardly.
"who are you?"
Aldibalan, or Al for short, lightly scratched the side of his helmet a few times, the sharp sound of his fingernails scraping against the metal, as he asked this question.
At the same time, using the helmet as cover, he sized up the two people. One of them was dressed in a simple maid outfit, with a good figure and a charming and beautiful temperament, but his instincts, honed through fighting, warned him that this person was quite dangerous.
As for the other person...
The familiar yet unfamiliar clothing made Al feel somewhat disoriented. The clothing styles of the two worlds were different, so when Al saw Fang Rui's attire, a guess arose in his mind.
"Fang Rui." He answered Al's question first, then extended an invitation, "There's something I'd like to discuss with you. Would you like to come?"
Upon hearing this, Al remained silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.
A few seconds later, he suddenly spoke: "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron..."
"Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon," Fang Rui added.
"Hoo~" Al slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his tone somewhat serious, "...Let's talk!"
With that, he turned and stepped forward: "Come with me!"
In a relatively upscale restaurant, inside a private room...
The two sat facing each other across a square dining table, with Elsa standing guard at the door of the private room...
"How long have you been here? And how did you know who I am?" Al asked.
"It hasn't been two days yet. As for how I knew your identity..." Fang Rui paused for a moment before explaining simply, "To put it simply, it's a kind of divination ability."
"Fortune telling?" After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Al exclaimed in surprise, "You can actually tell fortunes? That's amazing!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Fang Rui remained calm and composed, showing no change in expression.
"Let's get down to business first; we can talk about the rest later."
"Alright, what's the important matter?" Al had no objection to this.
"About how to get back..."
Upon hearing Fang Rui's words, Al fell silent once again, his surprises growing ever greater.
"If it were more than ten years ago, I might have been very excited, but now I've gotten used to life in another world."
In other words, even if he were to return to another world, he might not be able to adapt.
"Don't you want to go back and take a look?"
"...It's not that I don't want to at all, but traveling through the world isn't like traveling to another place; it's not that convenient."
Fang Rui nodded in understanding.
"In that case, I won't bother you any longer." With that, Fang Rui slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the private room, saying, "See you again sometime."
