Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Page 112

"I'll help you develop a more heroic aura! Get rid of that effeminate air about you."

Reinhardt's body swayed slightly as he was patted.

"Subaru, is this really a thank you?"

"of course."

"You may have the name of a hero, but you lack the substance of a hero."

"..."

Reinhardt fell silent.

Elsa took a small sip of her drink, and feeling inexplicably cold due to the intoxication, she instinctively wrapped the coat that Subaru had given her around her neck.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the dungeon.

Ram practically ran in.

Her breathing was a little rapid, and her short pink hair was slightly disheveled by the wind.

"Lord Reinhard, Barus."

She looked at the two of them, her tone unusually urgent.

"The village outside the manor has been attacked by a large number of monsters. Please take immediate action to rescue the villagers."

"What?"

Reinhard's expression immediately turned serious.

He immediately stood up, but stopped as soon as he took a step.

Capela is still here.

The monster attack came at such a convenient time; it looked exactly like the work of the witch cult.

If he leaves, who will be responsible for guarding this great sinner, the bishop?

Which is more important: saving a village or controlling a high-ranking bishop who could threaten the kingdom?

Reinhard's fingers rested on the hilt of the sword, but he hesitated to make any further movement.

Natsuki Subaru noticed his hesitation.

"Reinhard, go ahead."

Reinhard turned around.

"Pleiades?"

"You just go and clear out the monsters."

Subaru Natsuki pointed to Capella in the ice.

"I'll keep an eye on her."

"You are seriously injured and cannot continue fighting."

Reinhardt's tone was tinged with worry.

"Moreover, Capela's abilities are extremely dangerous."

"rest assured."

Natsuki Subaru patted his chest, then coughed lightly twice as the injury aggravated him.

"Although I am a sick tiger now, a sick tiger is still a tiger."

"Besides, she only has her head left. If we're really comparing who's more seriously injured, I might not lose to her."

"Besides, I originally wanted to tame her!"

Reinhard looked at Capella.

The head in the ice did not move.

But he was still a little worried.

"I'll be back soon."

"Good brother, the villagers are the most important."

Subaru Natsuki nodded vigorously.

"Go ahead and go, we'll hold the rear for you."

Reinhard gave him a deep look.

"Thank you, Subaru."

He turned and walked out of the dungeon.

Before leaving, Ram glanced at Subaru Natsuki, then at the frozen Capella.

She wanted to warn Subaru Natsuki not to misbehave, but remembering that this man never stopped misbehaving just because someone told him to, she ultimately only said coldly:

"Barus, don't kill yourself."

"Do not worry."

Natsuki Subaru waved his hand.

"We're not afraid of death, not afraid at all."

Ram's lips twitched. Was this a question of whether she was afraid of death or not?

The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

The dungeon fell silent again.

The bottle of wine in Elsa's hand slowly slipped from her grasp.

She leaned against the wall, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing became long and even.

She quickly became completely drunk.

Natsuki Subaru reached out and caught the bottle, and only after confirming that Elsa was simply asleep did he slowly turn around.

Only he, the sleeping Elsa, and the frozen Capella remained in the dungeon.

Natsuki Subaru looked at the head inside the ice, a mysterious smile gradually appearing on his face.

Capella's eyes opened a crack in the ice.

Although her ability to recover was restricted, her thinking ability remained.

Since last night, she has been re-examining everything that happened.

She has confirmed that Roswaal and Subaru are not on the same page.

She witnessed the conflict between Roswaal and Subaru last night.

She once thought that everything was Subaru Natsuki's plan, and that Roswaal and Reinhard were Subaru Natsuki's subordinates.

But now Capela has a new conclusion.

Subaru Natsuki was the one who truly plotted to capture her.

But Roswaal and Reinhard are not just henchmen.

Roswaal's sudden action last night seemed more like a deliberate attempt to silence her and prevent her from revealing his secrets.

Clearly, the reason this clown issued the mission was because he was being used by Subaru Natsuki.

Reinhard, who appears to be on friendly terms with Subaru Natsuki, is not actually entirely of one mind with him.

The red-haired swordsman seemed determined to take her back to the capital and hand her over to the kingdom's higher-ups.

Only Subaru Natsuki kept insisting that she become his mount.

These three people all seem to be targeting her, but in reality, they each have their own motives.

After capturing her, they were already in disarray.

For Capela, this situation isn't so bad after all.

If she falls into Reinhard's hands, she will be taken back to the capital.

Wangdu is the core area of her plan. Although she has not yet been able to fully control it, with the help of both inside and outside forces, leaving there would be easy.

Capella would also accept it if it fell into Roswaal's hands.

Roswaal couldn't kill her, and her secrets were still in her hands.

That clown would never dare to push her to the brink of despair.

Capella absolutely cannot accept it falling into Subaru's hands.

She couldn't understand what this man was thinking.

She couldn't understand his abilities either.

More importantly, he actually took something from himself.

That was no ordinary magic.

Although Capella didn't know what methods Subaru Natsuki had used, she could sense that her powers were weakening.

The power originates from the witch's genes.

The witch factor can indeed be distributed among multiple people.

The previous Bishop of Gluttony divided his power into three parts and gave them to his three children, while the Bishop of Sloth was also able to distribute his factors to his fingers.

However, such a division must be initiated by the holder.

This was the first time Capella had encountered someone like Subaru Natsuki who forcibly took away a portion of her power when her spirit was faltering.

The amount taken away so far is still small, and no obvious impact can be seen at the moment.

But what if we continue like this?

Will her powers gradually weaken or even disappear completely?

Capela's gaze gradually turned cold.

This is an absolutely unacceptable outcome!

She was ready.

No matter what Natsuki Subaru does next, she must stay focused and composed, and absolutely not give this man another chance to touch her.

Does he want to take more from himself?

Want to be his mount?

dream.

Victory is achieved if we hold out until Roswaal rescues us or Reinhard brings us to the capital!

Thinking of all the suffering he had endured in the first half of his life, and the strong mentality he had developed.
