Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

Satella lightly tapped Parker's head with the pad of her index finger, but Parker simply lay down on her palm like a normal kitten, raising its four paws so Satella could rub its furry belly.

"Speaking of which..."

While absentmindedly stroking Puck's fur, Satella rested her chin on her hand, watching Emilia, who had her eyes closed, communicating with the micro-elves.

"Lia's morning classes have been getting longer lately."

"Because of the increased pressure. Although thanks to you, Liya has stopped obsessing over things, her current disadvantages are clear to even an outsider like me."

"..."

Satella did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement with Parker's words.

Indeed, despite Satella's efforts to secure the position of Border Lord for Emilia, it's not as simple as it seems.

But Emilia's current disadvantages haven't actually changed much.

It's like a penniless guy winning five million in the lottery, but he's still penniless until he exchanges the lottery ticket for real money.

Emilia is now the Border Count, but until she consolidates her power, she remains a despised half-elf.

But is it really that simple to digest the power in one's hands?

Putting aside everything else, the villagers of Alam Village, which belongs to Emilia's territory, all despise Emilia, this half-elf.

Now that Emilia has become their lord, what will they think?

If you can't even tame your own people, what right do you have to compete for the throne?

So although Emilia has now become a border count, her situation is actually more difficult than before.

"This is inextricably linked to Satella."

In a slightly cold tone, Parker revealed his true purpose for coming to see Satella.

Satella was not surprised.

Although the elf named Puck has a very cute appearance, he is actually a very cold-hearted person.

For it, the only person it cares about is Emilia; everyone else is irrelevant. Just like in the original work, it was able to kill Subaru Natsuki, who usually got along well with it, three times with ease.

But none of that matters anymore.

"It's just a matter of winning over a group of people; it's a very simple thing, isn't it?"

With a slight shrug, Satella said nonchalantly, "It's an easy task."

"That's good." Parker nodded in satisfaction. "By the way, also find a knight for Lia. After all, we can't let Lia stand alone at the King's Selection Tournament in the future, can we?"

"—!"

Satella's reddish-purple eyes widened instantly.

Chapter 91 Satella the Knight

"Well then, my dear sister, I'll head out now."

"Well, come back soon."

After breakfast, Emilia said goodbye to Satella at the door.

According to the plan, she was supposed to return to the Border Earl's mansion today, but Emilia suddenly remembered that the mansion was missing a few necessary books, so she decided to go to the royal library to see if she could borrow those books.

Watching Emilia's beautiful white figure gradually disappear into the distance, Satella returned to the house.

Emilia has things she has to do, and Satella has her own things to do.

Back in her bedroom, Satella took paper and pen from the bookshelf, bit her thumb, and fell into deep thought.

As mentioned before, Satella is a lazy homebody to the core, so she prefers to use her brain rather than her hands.

Whatever she does, she likes to simplify things as much as possible. Therefore, before doing anything, she will draw out the 'starting point', 'process', and 'ultimate goal' in her mind in the form of a blueprint.

Among these, setting goals is the most important. Depending on the plane of existence, she will set a small goal and a long-term, large goal.

For example, in Konosuba, defeating the Demon King is a long-term goal, while leveling up is a smaller goal.

Generally speaking, she will switch dimensions after completing a small goal.

As things stand, the long-term goal in Re:Zero is undoubtedly to send Subaru Natsuki back to his original world. As for the short-term goals...

Become a Knight

Satella used a light quill to write the four words on the paper.

Satella is to become Emilia's knight.

This was a promise the two of them had made to always protect each other; in another sense, it was also their only choice.

Otherwise, who should be chosen as Emilia's knight?

Natsuki Subaru?

Although Satella is not a petty person, she doesn't want to be cuckolded.

The hiring system can be used, but the summoned people can't stay here indefinitely, so it's not feasible in the long run.

If they look for people locally, they really can't expect others to be very loyal to the silver-haired half-elf.

Therefore, Satella becoming Emilia's knight was the only option.

Now that the goal has been set, the next step is to consider how to achieve it.

In the world of Re:Zero, knights symbolize honor and status, and are far more than just a type of soldier.

In the original story, at the King Selection Tournament, Subaru Natsuki underestimated the significance of the word 'knight' and was severely punished.

—To become a knight, one must have commensurate achievements or reputation.

As for how to obtain these two items...

[White Whale], [Lazy Priest].

Satella wrote the two names on the paper, stared at them for a moment with her beautiful purple eyes, and then threw the paper into the fireplace. In the roaring fire, the paper and the two names turned to ashes.

……

……

"I am back!"

Standing at the door, Emilia called out in her silvery voice, and strangely enough, all the unhappiness that had been weighing on her heart all day vanished instantly.

This trip to the library did not go smoothly.

Although they found the books they needed in the royal library, they encountered difficulties when trying to borrow them from the librarian.

Although she was almost used to it, Emilia's heart was still wounded when the administrator looked at her with disdain and said, "Half-demons should not touch sacred books."

"But that's precisely why I want to change this situation!"

The resilient Emilia did not give up. She chose to stay in the library and copy down all the important information from those books.

It wasn't until 8 p.m. that Emilia finally finished copying down all the necessary information. Her hands were sore and she was starving, but when she came out, the librarian's slightly surprised look made Emilia feel a little smug.

Even if you try to make things difficult for me, I can still do it my own way!

Before entering the room, she would call out "I'm home," a habit Emilia learned from Satella.

Privately, Emilia believed it to be a spell, because whenever she uttered it, her mood would inexplicably become wonderful.

Emilia didn't know that, in fact, she just longed for a friend to be with her.

Although Parker is family, he is, after all, an elf, and strictly adheres to a nine-to-five schedule, so he cannot accompany him like a real person.

The one who filled the void in my heart was my older sister—the one I would marry and who would protect me for life.

As Emilia stepped across the threshold with the sweet feeling that "someone is waiting for me at home," she was somewhat surprised that her older sister did not come out to greet her or call her name from upstairs.

"Is my elder sister out?"

Just as Emilia was thinking this, a figure stepped down from upstairs and came into Emilia's view amidst a series of unhurried footsteps.

Standing at approximately 1.7 meters tall, he looked dashing in a white knight's outfit, his long silver hair neatly tied back, and his bright, clear reddish-purple eyes.

With a feminine appearance but a masculine demeanor and attire, the approaching knight possessed an androgynous beauty that would elicit gasps of astonishment from both men and women.

"Knight Satella greets Lady Emilia."

When a knight, speaking in a clear male accent, knelt down on one knee before Emilia, Emilia's heart was greatly shaken.

At first, she thought her older sister was joking with her, after all, the other woman looked about 80% like her and was also a silver-haired half-elf.

But upon closer inspection, the other person was clearly taller than her, and most importantly, the voice was completely different from her older sister's—that clear male voice was incredibly natural and could not be faked!

Just as the dizzy Emilia began to wildly speculate whether the other person was her long-lost brother, the knight burst out laughing.

"sister!"

The familiar voice immediately made Emilia realize what was happening. She was so angry and embarrassed that she tried to punch Satella's chest, but Satella pulled her into her arms.

With one arm around Emilia's slender waist and the other lifting her delicate chin, maintaining an intimate distance, Satella gazed at Emilia's slightly flushed face and spoke in a masculine accent:

"I even fooled Liya, so it seems my disguise was a success!"

Author's Note:

P.S. 1. I'm sorry I can't add an extra chapter today, I'm too exhausted from cultivating...

PS2. The battle in A Certain Magical Index where the angels fall was poorly written, and the readers' feedback was also very negative. It seems that subscriptions started to decline from that point on. Now, Honglian has suddenly come up with a good idea, so she is wondering whether to rewrite it... What do you all think?

Chapter 92's plot unfolds in an extraordinary way.

Satella wrapped her arms around her waist in a somewhat frivolous manner, and their bodies touched. The ambiguous touch made Emilia's heart pound violently. The aggressive gaze from her older sister made the blush on her face spread all the way to her ears.

For some reason, Emilia had a urge to close her eyes and completely surrender herself to her older sister like a toy, but her inner pride made her speak somewhat nervously:

"Big sister, please don't do this. It feels really strange."
