I love time travel the most!

Chapter 369 I Can Do What I Want! by Priscilla

Normally, Subaru Natsuki should have reported the matter to the guards in the duty room, just like in modern society when you need to find a police officer, you can't act rashly. But if he could be this calm, he wouldn't be Subaru Natsuki.

This idiot must think that having me around is why he dares to be so presumptuous.

Suddenly, Kobayashi heard this sentence.

"Kobayashi, we don't know what's going on yet, so we can't go to the guards. If we report it wrong, it could cause trouble for Emilia. So, I can only ask you for help from now on."

"……what?"

"What's wrong."

"It's nothing. I just didn't expect you to think so much. I thought you would be even more reckless."

"That's not a compliment, is it?"

I really didn't expect him to think about it so much.

It seems that the incident involving the Bowel Hunter and the monster attack has indeed helped this headstrong young man grow considerably.

Just as I was thinking this, Natsuki Subaru gave me a thumbs up and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you. When it comes to Emilia, my mind works incredibly fast!"

"Isn't there something a little off about what you're so proud of?"

Kobayashi rolled her eyes.

Ultimately, I was driven by the pretty girl, and I don't know what to say anymore.

What I said above is not an excuse; it truly reflects Natsuki Subaru's inner thoughts. However, it only accounts for a small part of his true feelings; the majority stems from a sense of mission and a desire to oppose Julius.

The three of them walked into the alley while talking.

Then, as we entered the alley, we immediately heard a roar.

"—You bitch, are you kidding me?!"

Kobayashi and Subaru exchanged a glance, and after confirming that his judgment of what he saw was correct, they quickened their pace.

In a narrow alley, a young girl was surrounded by three men who had blocked all her escape routes, trapping her at the innermost edge.

"Stop joking, woman!"

"Be careful, you'll scratch your face!"

"Let's just sell her!"

They were shouting and threatening like thugs. Their faces were obscured by their backs to Kobayashi, but they must have been furious.

However, they were met with even more arrogant and confident rebukes.

"Stop yelling! You mortals! You're a bunch of low-class people, even your methods of forming bonds are so despicable, it's unbearable to watch!"

The girl's clear and beautiful voice echoed in the alley.

Isn't she afraid of being harmed by bad people? How dare she confront these thugs like that?

Who gave her the courage?

But after seeing her appearance, Natsuki Subaru understood.

Her vibrant orange hair seemed to reflect the sun, dazzlingly bright, and her blood-red dress violently presented the image of the young girl.

Her provocative, slanted red eyes and pale peach-colored lips contrasted with her snow-white skin.

She wore all sorts of high-end accessories on her neck, ears, and wrists, accessories that even laymen could understand. Even just picking one of them randomly would cost more than a hundred times more than the two of them together.

No wonder he was targeted by thugs.

And she is Priscilla Baliel, one of the candidates for the royal selection, known as the "Bloody Bride"!

Faced with the villain's furious roar, she simply crossed her elbows and stood there leisurely, as if supporting her unusually large breasts.

This action further provoked the thugs' disgust, and they couldn't stand it any longer.

Just as one of the tall men raised his fist to strike Priscilla's beautiful face, a short, cold shout came from the entrance of the alley.

"—That's the end of it!"

Kobayashi, Natsuki Subaru, and the others following behind them walked in, surprised by the sudden intrusion of the three men and one woman.

“I’m sorry. Although it’s not my job, I can’t allow you to do this in the capital. Therefore, stopping you would be in the best interests of both of us.”

As Kobayashi spoke, he entered, stepping past the three thugs to reach the girl's side.

"Come on, please come this way."

"Oh?"

Priscilla looked at Kobayashi with a puzzled expression, but still did not make a move.

That makes sense. Even if Kobayashi came to the rescue, he was still a complete stranger to her. For a wary person, one should never judge someone's character by their appearance, as it could all be a charade orchestrated by several people.

Kobayashi's eyes caught an interesting look on her face, as if to say that he wanted to see what would happen next.

What an overconfident young lady.

At this moment, the thugs surrounding the four men realized what was happening and stared wide-eyed, demanding:

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Who I am is not important. Also, just a friendly reminder: don't move. No, I misspoke. You can't move at all."

Xiaolin's fingers twitched slightly.

As one of the thugs prepared to throw a punch at him from behind, his movement suddenly froze in mid-air. He wasn't the only one affected; the other two did the same.

"I can't move... What's wrong?"

"Hey! What have you done?!"

"Watch out or I'll beat you to a pulp!"

The three continued shouting.

They could have easily noticed that the surroundings and their entire bodies were covered in threads if they had just calmed down, which was what was hindering their movements, but they didn't even think about it.

Are you the type who doesn't use your brain?

Xiaolin was too lazy to waste her breath arguing with them.

On the contrary, Priscilla, who remained calm and collected, noticed something after seeing a reflection of light. Instead of being afraid, she fiddled with the threads with great interest.

Seeing Subaru Natsuki approach after subduing the thugs, he scratched his head, about to say something, when he saw the three thugs' faces and felt a strange sense of familiarity. After a brief comparison with his memory, he opened his mouth wide.

"It's the three of you again? Are you kidding me? Doesn't Wangdu have any other thugs besides you?"

They are none other than A-Zhen, A-Dun, and A-Han, who allowed Subaru Natsuki to reincarnate once.

Seeing the man acting so familiarly, the three thugs looked at each other in confusion, assuming he was an acquaintance of the other two.

Natsuki Subaru didn't want to get entangled any longer, so he went straight to the girl who was still fiddling with the threads.

"Let's go, let's not cause trouble for these people."

As he spoke, he grasped her wrist.

However, the next second, the hand that was grabbing him was grabbed from above by another hand, and Natsuki Subaru was thrown out by the action of twisting his body.

Then Natsuki Subaru unconsciously let go of his hand, and his face bumped into the wall of the alley.

"—It hurts!"

"You actually revealed your true colors so quickly, how tasteless! That's all you're capable of, a mere mortal daring to drool over me."

Looking down at Natsuki Subaru, who had fallen against the wall, the girl spat out a look as if she were looking at trash.

As expected, after Subaru Natsuki's actions, Priscilla had already come to regard them as one of the thugs.

"What the hell..."

Naturally, Natsuki Subaru was unhappy with such harsh words. He stood up, covering his nose, and argued, "Give me a break and get out of here! This is the golden rule for rescuing a girl from thugs! Are you even following the same procedure for those who didn't realize the situation?!"

His complaints were unfounded.

In typical bishoujo games, the hero rescuing the damsel in distress is a must-have element, and it's also common for the innocent, naive girl to slip up.

Priscilla flicked her wrist, her face full of disdain.

"I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just acting according to my own ideas and doing what I want to do."

How arrogant and self-confident he was.

Kobayashi had only ever seen this attitude of doing whatever he wanted without regard for worldly opinions in a certain superhero.

She truly is a girl favored by the sun.

Natsuki Subaru covered his cheeks and looked at Kobayashi with pleading eyes, only to receive a helpless look in return.

The other party is notorious for her willfulness, especially since her actions during the day have been corrected, which has further fueled her arrogant and conceited personality, making her look down on everyone.

Perhaps their rescue is also a result of correction.

Natsuki Subaru said indignantly, "Damn it! Throwing someone into a face and slamming them against a wall on our first meeting? Isn't that the lowest level of encounter? How is that supposed to be a hero saving a damsel in distress?"

Let alone rescuing them, they haven't even been able to convey their intentions.

"I cannot agree with that statement, Lady Natsuki."

"Liu Zi?"

The expressionless girl suddenly spoke, and Natsuki Subaru looked up, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Even if Liu Zi is very sharp-tongued, she will encourage herself when she sees her setback, just like the twin maids!

however--

"This can indeed be called a hero saving a damsel in distress, but while the damsel in distress has been rescued, the hero has not. Moreover, it was Lord Kobayashi who saved this lady, while Lord Natsuki seems to have done nothing and even tried to take liberties with her. Such behavior would normally be considered groping and would result in arrest and imprisonment. So I hope you will restrain yourself a little, and at least please don't implicate Lord Kobayashi."

"Uh……!"

Natsuki Subaru was so choked up that he blurted out whatever came to mind. He covered his face, pretending to be in pain, and his silly actions seemed more like an attempt to ease his embarrassment.

He really is a goofball.

Seeing him act silly, everyone present labeled him with this label.
