I love time travel the most!

Xiao Lin quickly pulled his arm away, creating distance as if to say, "Don't touch me!"

Priscilla is stunning in both figure and appearance, but it's best to forget about marrying her, as she is even more dangerous than Elsa.

【Sun's Blessing】is essentially a buff spell, so Kobayashi's 【Purification】is useless against her. If she doesn't want to die a violent death like the arrogant girl's seven previous husbands, she'd better not get too involved.

Moreover, Priscilla's true purpose was not just revenge.

"You still want to win me and Liu Zi over, right?"

"Humph."

Priscilla gave a soft hum. She didn't answer, but her attitude spoke volumes.

What could be more interesting than an arrogant girl who thinks the world revolves around her losing to someone else? The more Kobayashi disobeys her, the more interested she becomes in him, but it seems she hasn't managed to win him over this time either.

But it doesn't matter, her wish will definitely be fulfilled in the end.

The arrogant girl was incredibly confident.

Ferut finally realized what was happening, then went on a crazy rampage, saying, "So you lost to my subordinate, huh? You arrogant woman. How dare you call someone else your husband? You've been married seven times and you're still clinging to other men. Just how thirsty are you... mmm mmm!"

Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered.

I don't know if it's because he's been spending too much time with Liu Zi, but his sharp tongue has become increasingly sharp, and he always seems to pick on other people's sore spots.

If this continues, Priscilla's famous sword—the Blade of Sunfire—is about to unleash its full power in the palace hall.

The verbal altercation between the two ended temporarily with both sides suffering losses.

Then, Kursh, who had been watching the show, walked over and said to Kobayashi, "Well, although I only know a little about you from Phyllis, to be recognized by two... no, three candidates for the royal selection, you must be an exceptional talent. I just don't know what amazing things you will do. I sincerely look forward to that day."

The woman in military uniform displayed an eagerness to recruit talent, but she also knew clearly that Kobayashi would not abandon Felt to come to her side.

However, the demeanor she displayed certainly had the bearing of a king.

to the opposite.

The purple-haired little girl was more straightforward, saying, "I also want what others want, so big brother, have you ever thought about coming to my side? The reward will definitely satisfy you."

His still-childish face was filled with greedy desire.

The fact that they would attack in front of their master suggests that their contempt for Felt outweighs their desire for her.

"Hey, you bastard...!"

"I am grateful for the kindness of Lady Kurshu and Lady Anastasia, but please forgive me for declining."

Before Felt lost her temper, Kobayashi used the same words he used to reject Priscilla to reject Crusch and Anastasia.

But unlike Kurshu, the purple-haired little girl's greedy expression and arrogant, confident attitude were almost equal, clearly indicating that she had not given up yet.

The noise has come to an end.

Continuing down this path will only lead to more conflict.

"Well then, esteemed gentlemen, please forgive our impoliteness, we shall take our leave now."

Then he bowed in greeting.

He also nodded slightly to Emilia.

At Kobayashi's prompting, Felt reluctantly walked towards the massive doorway, huffing as she went, "Remember this, Kobayashi. When we get back, I'll make you pay. Oh, and as punishment, I'll make you teach me more interesting magic."

"Yes, yes, I will. Everyone else is fighting to have me, but you don't know how to cherish me."

"Hmph, you're not going to leave me anyway."

"That's hard to say. Don't cry if you really have to leave."

Kobayashi rubbed the little girl's head, and the little girl, not to be outdone, bit him in retaliation. The four royal candidates behind them watched their affectionate playful antics.

However, their expressions differed.

Some felt envy, some indifference, some boredom, and some nostalgia. Only after the two disappeared into the palace hall did the other four girls leave one after another.

------

After leaving the palace hall, Felt hugged Kobayashi from behind and bit his arm and shoulder.

"I say, Ferut, isn't it time to give in?"

"No!"

"Your canine teeth are biting me and it hurts!"

"Serves you right!"

"What kind of behavior is it for candidate Wang to ride on top of someone else? Besides, you're wearing a skirt, aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?"

"Mmm-mmm (Mind your own business!)"

It seems that no matter what I say, she won't come down.

Helpless, Kobayashi could only silently endure the little girl's retaliatory actions. After all, she had been wronged because of him; he'd just consider it compensation.

However, this situation did not last long. When the two walked into the corridor, they saw Reinhard waiting on the side.

The Sword Saint did not reprimand Felt for her rudeness; instead, he brought up something else entirely.

Julius is going to duel Subaru Natsuki!

I never expected it to develop like this. Natsuki Subaru had clearly restrained himself quite a bit in the palace hall, without making any bad remarks or doing anything excessive. So why did the two of them choose to duel?

Only then did Reinhard explain the cause and effect.

Subaru Natsuki remembered Emilia's lack of knightly allegiance during the council meeting and asked her why afterward.

Naturally, he knew that for some well-known reason, no one was willing to be the knight of the silver-haired half-elf girl.

So, in a moment of impulsiveness, the boy volunteered to be the knight of his beloved girl, while also saying some rather unpleasant things.

This undoubtedly angered the Knights, so Julius, in order to prevent Subaru Natsuki from being retaliated against, chose to teach the clueless boy a lesson first.

...Although Subaru Natsuki was unaware of it.

"Does Reinhard mean for me to stop this duel?"

"No, it's too late to stop it now."

"That's true. Never mind, I'll go take a look."

After handing the little girl over to Reinhard, Kobayashi headed towards the training grounds. There, he encountered Subaru Natsuki, who was eager to get started.

"I don't know what to say about your recklessness, or maybe it's better to call you a stubborn brat?"

"Stop teasing me, Kobayashi."

Natsuki Subaru was unusually not smiling or joking.

He wanted to help Emilia, and he was willing to sacrifice his life and reincarnate several times for it. So no matter what, his feelings were genuine.

It seems he's already prepared for the worst.

"But you can't win at all."

"Can't win at all? I don't understand."

Ok?

Do you also want to become light?

After saying these words with his back to Kobayashi, the hot-blooded youth picked up his wooden sword and rushed to the battlefield... no, the training ground, without looking back.

Then he was knocked to the ground in just a few moves.

Seeing Natsuki Subaru unable to get back up, Kobayashi couldn't help but complain: "You, you say such nice things, but in the end you still get beaten black and blue, don't you?"

It's a waste that you're saying Ultraman Tiga's famous quote.

Chapter 377 Xiaolin’s ambition, the Axis Theocracy!

As an important place for the knights' daily training, the royal capital's training grounds are very large, almost the same size as a typical academy.

Whether running back and forth or practicing with each other, there is enough space.

At the entrance to the training ground, a red-haired knight leaned against the wall, constantly watching the two people in the center of the training ground. His expression was neither anxious nor angry, but purely worried.

"Why is this happening? We're all friends, why are we hostile to each other?"

This swordsman, whose kindness was frightening, also spoke words that were equally frightening. If one didn't know the background, one would really think it was a scene from a classic Chinese comedy.

Xiaolin and he stood together in the passageway.

Reinhard sighed, "Julius isn't like that."

Kobayashi shrugged and said, "It's all because Subaru arrogantly belittled the knights and incurred public wrath, and he hasn't shown any remorse or repentance. You're not worried about Natsuki-kun, are you? Don't worry, he'll be beaten half to death."

"...Is this the time to make sarcastic remarks? Besides, I don't want Subaru to get hurt."

The good-natured Sword Saint rolled his eyes. This guy always calls me his best friend, but now he's expecting to be beaten half to death? What's he thinking?

If Kobayashi knew what Reinhard was thinking, he would cry foul.

This is a complete misunderstanding!

He wasn't saying this to punish Subaru Natsuki by beating him half to death, but rather to imply that at most Julius would beat him half to death. Otherwise, if any other Riders intervened, Subaru Natsuki's life would certainly be in danger.

With that modern teenager who can only boast about his 70 kilograms of grip strength, it's already commendable that he can hold a sword and withstand the enemy's momentum. How could he possibly defeat the knight who has been tempered and is of superior strength?

"By the way, have you informed Emilia?"

"Yes, the moment the two of them announced their duel, I sent someone to inform them."

"Then there's no problem. All we have to do is watch the show."

As Kobayashi once said, no matter what you do, you have to bear the consequences yourself. Being able to pass on the message is already the greatest help he can offer.

After all, duels between knights are incredibly sacred.

No one can stop it.

Even a candidate for the throne is not acceptable.

Just as Kobayashi had predicted, Natsuki Subaru was decisively defeated, falling to the ground bruised and unable to move.

The knights who had been watching cheered in venting their anger.
