I love time travel the most!

"Yeah! Subaru always shouts that after the morning exercises."

"Sorry, I forgot. Well then... let's end with reaching your hand to the sky, Victory!"

"Victory!" xN

As they raised their hands and said their closing words, the children shouted with satisfaction. With this grand display of energy, the daily morning routine of broadcast gymnastics came to an end.

A roar of cheers erupted around him, and Kobayashi walked to the back of the crowd.

"Hey, Natsuki-kun, it's been a long time."

"I missed you so much, Kobayashi!"

Natsuki Subaru didn't understand the concept of men not touching each other, and upon seeing Kobayashi, he immediately pounced on her with a mournful face.

Aren't you afraid Emilia will get jealous if you show such enthusiasm towards other women?

Kobayashi pushed his face away with a look of disgust.

The four of them then went to the side to chat.

"I heard the villagers say, 'Natsuki-kun, you've made headlines!'"

"Haha, you flatter me."

"You think I'm praising you? That's sarcasm, you idiot!"

Simple greetings inadvertently revealed each other's situations.

Kobayashi didn't know how many times Subaru Natsuki had reincarnated, but judging from his aggrieved look and lack of outlet for his frustration, he probably died quite a few times.

There's no way around it; this is the price of lusting after pretty girls.

Natsuki Subaru looked at Kobayashi and then at Ryuzuki, asking curiously, "Speaking of which... where's Felt? Didn't that grumpy little girl come with you?"

"Although she insisted on coming along, Reinhard stopped her."

The ladylike education that Ferut had to receive was far more demanding than he had imagined, and much more difficult than the exam-oriented education of students in China.

That poor little girl must have suffered.

Emilia, feeling somewhat apologetic, asked, "So she really was punished by Reinhard?"

Xiaolin quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, she's doing just fine and hasn't suffered any injustice at all."

Felt spends all day in the Sword Saint's mansion, jumping around like a monkey, full of energy. And with her noble status, who could possibly bully her? Even Reinhard has to be bullied by her.

"Kobayashi, did you come here this time to seek refuge with Emilia-tan?"

"carbon?"

"It's my nickname."

Natsuki Subaru waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to waste words on the matter of address.

Then, like a salesperson making a door-to-door sales pitch, he knelt down in front of Emilia and began to boast, "Kobayashi, you might not know, but Emilia is a candidate to become the next queen! How about it? Now is the best time to join!"

"...Isn't this all what I told you? Why are you so smug?"

"Oh right, I forgot!"

As Xiaolin rolled his eyes in exasperation, he slapped his forehead in sudden realization.

"Don't do this, Subaru!"

Emilia, feeling uncomfortable with his embarrassing behavior, quickly stopped him from fooling around.

"So, Kobayashi, would you like to join? To be honest, having you around really makes me feel at ease."

Natsuki Subaru wasn't being silly; he was being sincere.

Whether it's intellect, strength, or the magic to revive others, Kobayashi can be described as a well-rounded individual.

If he had to choose between Kobayashi and Reinhard, Subaru Natsuki was confident he would choose Kobayashi without hesitation.

That sense of security is something no one can resist.

however--

"Thank you very much for the invitation, but unfortunately I already have someone I'm loyal to."

"What did you say?!!!"

Natsuki Subaru was shocked, then couldn't help but shout, "Wait a minute! In this situation, shouldn't you agree to team up with me, and then the two of us could just go on a rampage and slaughter everyone? Isn't that the usual trope in other worlds?!"

"You're in charge of the 'quacking' (a sound effect in Chinese), and I'm in charge of the indiscri

Xiaolin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

It seems that these several cycles in the mansion haven't helped Natsuki Subaru grow at all; he still harbors strange fantasies that modern people shouldn't have.

Although his ideas are correct in terms of following established patterns, his approach is too naive and will only have a negative impact.

"There's nothing I can do. It's just that you're so popular, Natsuki-kun. Being your partner always means getting harassed by some random guy."

"I didn't expect to be so popular, hehehe—"

I was being sarcastic!

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head sheepishly and grinned at Emilia.

Their shamelessness is beyond imagination.

I've considered teaming up with Subaru Natsuki, but whether it's the Witch Cult, Roswaal the sixth brother, the Oni Twins, Emilia, or others, they are all very troublesome opponents.

In contrast, Felt's relationships are much simpler; apart from Mr. Rom, no one else is eyeing her.

Little girls like this are the easiest to control!

"So, Kobayashi, you came here just to see me? Oh no, I've actually managed to be captivated by the outstanding Kobayashi. What a sinful man I am."

"No way! I've always liked curvy, older women, so don't flatter yourself!"

"It hurts so much—!"

Kobayashi slapped the affected Natsuki Subaru.

Emilia quickly stepped forward to support him, and whispered to ask if he felt anything was wrong.

Despite their actions resembling those of a couple, Xiaolin only saw a strong mother-son bond between them.

Natsuki-kun, I've never heard of you risking your life to save your mother!

Kobayashi flicked his wrist and said, "Besides checking on Natsuki-kun, I also came to pay a visit to my boss."

"boss?"

"That's the chief archmage of Roswaal's court. Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm already a court archmage."

"Eh?" X2

Natsuki Subaru and Emilia were clearly taken aback when they saw the man in front of them make a victory sign.

------

Kobayashi rose from a commoner to a court mage in just a few days, a leap so great that it surprised both of them.

Unlike Emilia, who offered her congratulations, Subaru Natsuki was consumed by jealousy.

His only magical attribute is Yin, which is a rare attribute on the surface. However, due to his weak magic power, he can only cast auxiliary spells such as [Veil], which is completely different from Kobayashi, who became a court mage.

Even so, he kept muttering, "What's so great about it? I'm not envious at all. You're Rhodes' subordinate, and I'm also Rhodes' subordinate, so my position is roughly equivalent to yours, Kobayashi! That's right, I'm not jealous at all!"

The strange conversion equations have completely exposed his inner thoughts.

Following closely behind Subaru Natsuki, who was walking briskly with his head down, Kobayashi and Emilia exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

While they were talking, the gates of Roswaal's mansion could already be seen from the other side of the road.

"Eh? What is that?"

“There’s a dragon carriage parked in front of the house.”

Hearing Kobayashi and Emilia's lowered voices behind him, Natsuki Subaru looked up and looked in the same direction.

There was a vehicle in front of the house that looked like a horse-drawn carriage. It was described as looking like a horse-drawn carriage because it had something different from ordinary horse-drawn carriages.

In any case, the creature pulling the carriage didn't look like a horse; it looked more like a giant lizard.

Surprised by the difference between this and the standards of his original world, Natsuki Subaru tapped his hand and said, "So, it's surprisingly common in the royal capital. What I just mentioned, that thing called a dragon carriage?"

"Huh? Ah, um."

Emilia paused for a moment before realizing what was happening and explained, "Because it pulls a cart behind the earth dragon, it's called a dragon cart, right? Wait, could it be that my common sense is wrong? Is there a more formal name for it?"

"No, no, no, it was just my ignorance. Emilia Carbon is right, so have confidence."

How could Natsuki Subaru admit that his beloved beautiful girl was wrong? Even if she was wrong, he would insist that she was right.

"You agree, right, Kobayashi?"

Why did the topic shift to me?

"Look, the dragon carriage is clearly the visitor's vehicle, and now another visitor has appeared here. No matter how you look at it, it must be your dragon carriage, Kobayashi, right?"

Natsuki Subaru spoke of what he believed to be correct reasoning. Little did he know, his reasoning, like Kogoro Mouri's, was always wildly off-track.

Kobayashi shook his head: "Unfortunately, I didn't get to drive the dragon carriage this time."

"Huh? Isn't that right?!"

Natsuki Subaru's mouth dropped open.

Emilia tilted her head and murmured, "Then... who is it this time?"

Instead of guessing here, why don't we go up and ask them?

"Yeah, that's right."

At Kobayashi's suggestion, the three headed towards the carriage.

Chapter 366 Man with cat ears?

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Subaru Natsuki exclaimed in surprise.
