I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

"Of course I'm here to see An Shujun! Don't worry, I didn't hear any of your secret conversations inside. You can do whatever you want."

My princess! You seem more like a guilty thief! Al's body sank, defeated by his master's intellect.

"How did you know it was a private meeting? And since you knew it was a private meeting, why did you suddenly barge in?"

Roswaal was speechless. The other person's unusual behavior made him unable to process it, and he subconsciously followed her words and asked.

Priscilla waved her folding fan again and calmly replied,

"Oh, it's that commoner... no, it's your guy, the one who looks a bit fierce but is useless, complaining outside about not being brought to the meeting. I happened to hear him when I arrived."

As for why I suddenly barged in, you'll have to ask him! I initially intended to give him a proper visit, since An Shujun used to have a very poor image of me, but I've been trying to improve it recently.”

"Yes Subaru-kun"

Emilia looked at the somewhat disheveled boy beside her with a questioning gaze, puzzled.

###Chapter 180 Asian###

(' "this……"

Natsuki Subaru felt a pang of guilt and dared not meet Emilia's gaze, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"Fine, if you dare not say it, then I will explain it myself."

Priscilla snapped her fan shut, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

……

"Subaru, what's wrong? Is this tea not to your liking?"

Seeing the boy beside her lost in thought, the blonde maid gracefully placed the cup back on the tray and asked with concern.

"No, Miss Frederica's tea is absolutely first-rate!" Natsuki Subaru shook his head, brought back to reality by her words, and hurriedly praised her.

"Then why do you look so preoccupied? Are you thinking about what's going on between them?"

"Yes, I don't know why they won't let us sit in on the proceedings..."

Frederica gently picked up the teapot and poured herself another cup, advising, "Don't think too much, Subaru. As a servant, you don't need to get involved in the affairs between your masters. Just carry out their orders."

"Yeah……"

Natsuki Subaru held the teacup with both hands, his eyes flickering, and finally sighed. It seems he still needs to work harder!

"Never mind that, Miss Frederica. Actually, there's a question I've been wanting to ask you."

"Oh, what's wrong?" The blonde maid picked up her teacup again and took a small sip. She always enjoyed mentoring younger generations.

"It's your teeth that look, it seems..."

"Hmm..." Frederica was taken aback, unconsciously covering her mouth and lowering her head.

Natsuki Subaru wasn't that stupid; she immediately sensed something was wrong. She seemed to dislike people talking about this, and quickly apologized, "Excuse me, Miss Frederica, this, I didn't mean it, uh..."

“It’s alright…” Frederica probably knew he didn’t bring it up on purpose, so she waved her hand generously and explained, “Subaru, as you can see, I’m not a pure human either; I have one-quarter demi-human blood in my body.”

As she spoke, her gaze dimmed. It was because of her demi-human blood that she had always felt somewhat inferior.

"Demi-humans, do you mean those beastmen?"

"Subaru-kun, don't you know? It's just as you said. The word 'Ajin' itself encapsulates its meaning: subhuman."

Frederica was somewhat surprised, but when she thought about how he didn't even know how to read and needed her to teach him, she understood and patiently explained, "But demi-humans are not just beastmen. To list some common ones, like giants, they are all considered demi-humans."

"Really? Then, Miss Frederica, do you know of a kind of demi-human with a horn on its forehead?" Feeling that he had been too vague, Natsuki Subaru gestured with his hand, "It has a single horn, it glows, and it's very powerful."

Humans can't possibly have horns, so someone who looks like a human must be a demi-human!

"A unicorn can shine with great power."

Frederica pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "Subaru-kun, could you be more specific with your description? There are many demi-humans with horns, like the various types of beastmen, and they are quite powerful. They also have a luminous characteristic, which is relatively common."

"Uh, that horn is really pretty, pure white, like a jade pendant, and it seems like it can be hidden!"

"Hmm..." Frederica thought about it carefully for a while, then firmly shook her head. "I don't know. Why is Subaru asking this?"

"No, it's nothing... I was just a little curious..."

"If you're curious, I'll ask Rem for you later. Rem is a pure demi-human, so she should know more."

"Wait, the blue-haired maid in An Shu's arms is also a demi-human. What race is she?"

"Yes, Rem is an oni... but her village, sigh..."

Do the demons have single horns?

Natsuki Subaru didn't care about what she said next; he was more concerned about the message that had just come out.

"Yes, they do, but demons usually have two horns."

"Two horns..."

Natsuki Subaru was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that his strange dream was just his imagination after all! After all, it was just a dream!

He scoffed at himself, wondering if he had actually gone after that elusive dream.

I just don't know why I had this dream; it felt so real, like it had actually happened.

"but……"

"but"

Hearing that there seemed to be a twist in her words, Natsuki Subaru was stunned again.

"However, Rem seems to have a horn for some special reason. I saw it once before, and it matches your description, Subaru-kun. The horn is beautiful, white, smooth, like jade, and it glows. Rem herself is also very strong... Hey, Subaru-kun, you look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

"No wonder...no wonder I said I was so afraid of her...but that was the first time I met her! Why would I have such a completely unrelated dream!"

"Subaru-kun, Subaru-kun, what are you saying again?"

Frederica nudged Natsuki Subaru, whose face had darkened; he seemed a bit delirious.

Subaru-kun!

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Frederica yelled and woke him up.

"What happened to you just now? What nonsense were you spouting?"

"Really? You must have misheard, haha..." Natsuki Subaru scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, trying to brush it off. He couldn't very well say that he'd been scared off by a nightmare from a month ago, could he?

He vowed to himself that he would stay far away from An Shu's family from now on! It seemed that none of them were good people! Especially An Shu, who had mocked him the moment he arrived in this world!

Hmm! I'll just focus on winning over Emilia and stay far away from them!

"I feel like Subaru is acting strange. Am I overthinking it?"

"Hahaha, Frederica must be overthinking it!"

The blonde maid glanced at him suspiciously, but said nothing. She was too embarrassed to ask if he wouldn't reveal anything.

Just then, a figure blocked the sunlight streaming in through the doorway.

"An Shujun...you're here, aren't you!"

###Chapter 181 A Gamble That's Inevitable to Lose?###

"You mean he's inside?"

The girl received an affirmative answer, nodded, and was about to walk into the inner room.

"Hey! What are you trying to do?"

Seeing that she was about to reach the door, Natsuki Subaru finally snapped out of his daze due to the other person's shamelessness, stood up and blocked her way, and complained angrily.

"Hmm, how dare you speak to me in such a tone?"

The girl glared at him, a little annoyed, but then abandoned her plan, thinking to herself: No, I can't kill this guy. He must be one of An Shujun's men. If I do that, I might get into trouble.

Natsuki Subaru had no idea that he had just escaped with his life, and he stood in front of her as if nothing had happened, holding out his hands to block her way.

"your Highness!"

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the one-armed knight, having finished setting up the dragon carriage, ran into the inn.

"Princess!"

Natsuki Subaru was startled by the way the other person addressed him. Could this guy be some kind of royalty?

"No, I don't remember the late emperor leaving behind any children!"

Frederica walked over to Subaru Natsuki, shook her head at him, and gestured for him not to panic.

"Oh, Your Highness is not a princess, she is Priscilla Baliel, the royal consort!"

As soon as they entered, the knights were very enthusiastic in explaining to them and generously revealed their identities.

"Is the Royal Selection Person Emilia-tan's enemy?" Natsuki Subaru muttered to himself, then asked his senior, "Have you heard of her, Miss Frederica?"

"I've heard of her. She likes to dress in a long, blood-red dress and carry a folding fan. But according to rumors, she's very arrogant and looks down on everyone. She probably wouldn't even bother talking to us." Frederica hesitated for a moment; she wasn't quite sure herself.

"It can't be fake, can it?"

"No, that's unlikely. No fool would impersonate her to cause trouble here."

"That's true."

After all, no one would eat that much just to tease them.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" The one-armed knight pretended not to hear their whispered conversation and asked the somewhat impatient girl standing next to him.

"You insolent wretch, get out of my way right now! I want to go inside."

The girl ignored him and glared at the two people blocking her way.

"Priscilla, right? Impossible! Emilia and the others are still having a secret talk inside!" Natsuki Subaru, oblivious to the implications, turned his head and whistled.

"Heh, that...that secret talk with Emilia is interesting, but I'm not interested. I just want to go see An Shujun."

Seeing his attitude, Priscilla suppressed her anger and explained, almost breaking the handle of her fan in her grip.

What an ungrateful bastard! Should we teach him a lesson? No, no! What if this guy complains to An Shujun? Then my already poor image in his eyes will be further damaged!
