Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Otherwise, it can't be said that Natsuki Subaru's eagerness to drink with Reinhard, even going so far as to use his cell phone worth dozens of Saint Gold Coins as payment for the drinks, was simply due to his heavy drinking habit.

For a moment, Felt looked at Subaru with obvious expectation and a feeling that she herself could not explain.

Keep it up, Subaru!

Let's drink that redhead under the table.

"Cheers..." Reinhard couldn't keep up with Subaru's hearty drinking at the table, and could only keep drinking one glass after another.

Reinhard considers himself to dislike drinking.

He hated the smell of alcohol because his father had been covered in it ever since his mother fell ill, his grandmother died, and his grandfather treated him like an enemy.

Their attitude towards him has changed from being caring and protective to being verbally abusive.

Even though Reinhard is now nineteen years old and has almost forgotten the pain of those years.

But whenever I smell alcohol, I can't help but recall those memories.

However, his goal of becoming the perfect knight prevented him from showing this side of himself.

But this time is different.

He originally thought that when he drank, he would still involuntarily recall the details of his family's fall apart.

It's unclear whether it was because Rom's sake tasted really special, or because Natsuki Subaru's strange chants, made while slightly tipsy, had drawn his attention.

He was so focused on Natsuki Subaru's reaction that he forgot everything else.

Even my mind and body became inexplicably relaxed.

'Oh no!' Reinhard instinctively glanced at the spot where Felt had just been.

It is confirmed that Ferut is still alive.

Only after staring intently at Subaru Natsuki, his eyes sparkling as he seemed lost in thought, did Reinhard relax again. —As long as he didn't run away.

Even Reinhard himself found it strange, because he hated his father's hangover appearance and had prayed to God for protection from being drunk.

Yet they remain so relaxed.

How relaxed should we be?

He had even bent over, resting his face on one hand, and leaning against the counter.

This is not the appearance a perfect knight should have.

Of course, when it comes to relaxation, no one can compare to Subaru Natsuki.

Even when he's sober, he's already more formidable than most people when drunk; after drinking, he's even more so.

Getting carried away with his drinking, he even stood up, spun around, and shouted some nonsensical things.

"The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon! Heroes of dragon and tiger soar proudly across the heavens!"

"The sword of benevolence, the sword of righteousness, don't force me..."

"That's amazing, he always speaks the absolute truth!"

Natsuki Subaru kept repeating these words that had once caused enormous pollution, while laughing wildly.

But for some reason, glistening tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes.

...The wine gradually began to play its magical role...

"Phew~" Subaru Natsuki collapsed onto the bar.

Reinhard showed no signs of drunkenness, which made Felt, who was hoping he would get drunk, feel truly hopeless.

"Come on, keep serving me and my brother Reinhard drinks." Even at this point, Natsuki Subaru still had no intention of stopping drinking.

Even Ferut couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother, you'd better stop drinking. You've already reached your limit," Ferut said worriedly.

"Never mind that, I'm going to drink this redhead under the table today." Natsuki Subaru shoved Felt aside.

Far from being angry, Ferut's pupils trembled uncontrollably.

Aside from Rom, this was the first time anyone had gone to such lengths for him.

If things continue like this, she would be willing to be captured by that red-haired Reinhard.

Even when called "red-haired," Reinhard wasn't angry. Instead, he comforted her, saying:

"Subaru, you've reached your limit. Don't drink anymore; it's bad for your health."

"What's wrong with it? I think it's great!" Natsuki Subaru felt nauseous as soon as he said that.

Fortunately, Grandpa Rom had already sensed that things were not going well and brought over a bucket and placed it next to him so that he could vomit to his heart's content.

After looking up, Subaru Natsuki's arrogant expression disappeared, replaced by a calm demeanor.

During the Three Kingdoms period, when drinking with Xiahou Dun and others, they often said...

"You, Natsuki Subaru, you're usually so carefree, how come you turn into a scholar when you're drunk?"

In fact, Natsuki Subaru really wanted to tell them that he used to be a student.

And aren't you all the same? You're all crazier than anyone else on ordinary days, but after drinking, you all become serious, as if you've become completely different people.

With a long sigh, Subaru Natsuki's face showed signs of exhaustion.

It seems that his return from death also reset his body's tolerance to alcohol.

In the past, this amount would have been considered just rinsing the mouth.

It's such a shame I can't drink more.

Taking advantage of a moment of peace in his mind, Natsuki Subaru finally had time to start thinking about what he should do next.

I don't know who killed him in the first reincarnation.

I don't know if I will die again in this cycle of reincarnation, or if I will go back to the Three Kingdoms period after I die.

These are all assumptions that Natsuki Subaru can never answer no matter what.

All he could do was prepare for both possibilities.

The first contingency plan is in case I still die, and I still end up traveling back to the Three Kingdoms period.

After he went to the headquarters of the allied forces with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, he would definitely follow Yuan Shao immediately.

Assist this wise and benevolent lord until the Flaming Meteor Shower defeats him, then go and join Cao Cao, which is consistent with the previous "lying down and doing nothing" strategy.

However, once I arrive at Boss Cao's place this time, I will definitely not investigate those strange, familiar faces again.

Although there was no evidence, Natsuki Subaru felt that his sudden death was inextricably linked to these people.

If you die but still can't travel to another world, and instead continue to die and return to this other world.

Let's be realistic and find a job in this country to make a living.

Without further ado, Subaru Natsuki suddenly asked Rom:

"Mr. Rom, do you need any more staff here?"

"What?" Mr. Rom, who was wiping the wine glasses, was taken aback by the sudden question: "Not really, I can manage on my own."

“I see.” Subaru Natsuki nodded.

"What's wrong, Subaru? You seem to have something on your mind," Reinhard said.

Subaru sighed: "It's nothing, I'm just homeless and don't know where to go."

Upon hearing this, Ferut's eyes lit up.

She had intended to suggest that Subaru live with her, as her vacant lot could be used to set up a second tent.

But the thought of Reinhard taking her away and not knowing if she would come back alive made her feel hopeless.

I might as well entrust all those things to Subaru Natsuki...

That way, if Reinhard were to release her one day, she would at least know where to look for Subaru Natsuki...

Chapter 12: 012. Can you tell me your name?

Reinhard also showed a slight hesitation.

Subaru Natsuki acts strangely, his strength is unpredictable, and he is extremely cunning. He appears to be crazy, but all his actions have a deeper meaning.

However, it must be admitted that he is also a very charismatic person.

Reinhard never met anyone like that in his entire life.

After only a short time together, he already had the idea of ​​becoming true friends with this person.

He was hesitating about whether to invite Subaru Natsuki to his home during this time.

Bringing such a stranger home would likely enrage the father and grandfather.

Just then, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Great, you're here. This time you won't escape."

White hair, white clothes, purple eyes.

The female protagonist appeared at the door.

With a sharp gaze fixed on Felt beside him, several ice spikes appeared in the air next to his outstretched palm, ready to be launched at the slightest movement from his opponent.

Felt was startled and instinctively backed away, hiding next to Subaru and Rom.

The moment Natsuki Subaru saw the other person, he instantly sobered up by half, a feeling he had experienced countless cycles of time during the Three Kingdoms period.

The desires in my mind were crushed time and time again, leaving only the obsession with repaying kindness.

"Sha San Dao!"

"Who are you?" Emilia looked surprised, then her expression turned slightly coquettish: "I already told you, my name isn't Kill Three Knives!"

Please don't give people nicknames casually; it can be very bothersome for them!

"But then again, you actually lied to me. You really were in cahoots with this little thief."

Felt tugged at Subaru's clothes in confusion: "Hey, didn't you just say you were going to return this medal to her? You don't know her?"

"Give it back to me? Aren't you in cahoots with her?" Emilia responded before Subaru could answer.

"Lady Emilia, I never expected to see you here." Reinhard stepped forward and bowed to Emilia.

"I remember you are... Reinhard. How come I'm seeing you here?"

Emilia was completely bewildered.

I initially thought it was just a case of accidentally getting separated from Ram and being robbed by a thief, but who would have thought so many people would get involved?

Just as Reinhard was about to explain, Subaru Natsuki's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a sharp blade flash in the shadows behind Emilia.

"Reinhard has enemies!" Natsuki Subaru had barely finished speaking when...

A chair was immediately kicked away by Reinhard.

The chair crashed directly into the person behind Emilia.

The immense force caused the sharp blade to slip from his hand.

"I never expected to encounter the legendary Sword Saint here. How wonderful! I've always wanted to see what the Sword Saint's intestines look like." The woman, who had been knocked to the ground, rolled over, completely unconcerned about the glimpse of her exposed body.

Instead, he swept his gaze across the abdomens of everyone present with an almost morbidly greedy look.

“You are…” Ferut looked shocked. She recognized him as the employer who had hired her to steal the badge.

Elsa calmly picked up the blade from the ground, revealing a smile: "The mission was canceled. Not only did they bring the owner here, but they also brought the Knights along to wait for me."

"I'm starting to suspect that this job is a trap set by my mother to target me."

"So you're also someone's hired hand? What are you planning to do?" Natsuki Subaru looked at the woman in front of him with a hint of curiosity.

He had a vague feeling that this might be the person who killed him in the first playthrough and indirectly sent him to the Three Kingdoms period.

If I were killed by her now, I might be able to travel back to the Three Kingdoms period once again.

but...

Do we really want to go back to that era?

The images of Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao flashed through Natsuki Subaru's mind.
