Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Page 289

"You bastard, what do you take me for?!"

Capella's anger was also about to burst when Natsuki Subaru fed her bean powder.

She knew she was important to Subaru, and she knew that Subaru would indeed treat her well, no matter what she became.

But why do all those good things always feel like treating an obedient horse?

Give her mung beans, pat her head, and praise her as a good mount.

Did Subaru actually see her as a woman?

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Capela, who was already in a state of confusion.

Her chest, which was temporarily thin, heaved violently as she clenched her fangs and stared at the scattered bean powder on the ground.

Not enough! She wanted far more than that.

She wanted Subaru to only have eyes for her, to see her as his only woman, and to have that love stronger, more obsessive, so that it would squeeze out everyone else.

But she couldn't bring herself to say a single one of those words.

It's not just shame and inferiority.

At the same time, I'm also afraid that if I make this request, I'll be the one who gets kicked out...

As he pondered this, Capella once again revealed a tendency to destroy himself alongside Subaru...

Seeing her angry expression, Natsuki Subaru suppressed his surging emotions and sighed.

"It seems our Capela really doesn't like mung beans."

He couldn't think of any other way, so he reached out and patted Capela's head, intending to calm her down first.

"Don't touch me!"

Capela immediately shouted angrily when his palm landed on her. She didn't want to be touched like a mount!

Unexpectedly, Natsuki Subaru, who was stroking Capela's head, opened his eyes wide at that moment.

What did he just see?

Capela's Benevolence gauge seems to have... increased?

For the sake of the experiment, Subaru ignored Capela's anger and not only did not stop, but touched her again.

"Get out! The farther away from me the better!" Capella roared, as if she wanted to bite Natsuki Subaru's neck to pieces.

However, in Subaru Natsuki's eyes, Capella's "Kinness Gauge" rose again, showing that although she was angry on the surface, she actually approved of the head pat deep down!

"I see!"

Subaru Natsuki's eyes lit up.

"We've figured it out!"

Since touching her would increase his virtue, Subaru Natsuki simply sat down in front of Capella and, under her angry gaze, forcefully pulled her into his arms.

Capela's body stiffened at first, and the anger on his face went through several stages: shock, disintegration, and barely holding on.

Just as she was about to put on a show of refusal again, Natsuki Subaru completely ignored her reaction, ruffling her head with both hands and stroking her short, golden hair repeatedly.

"You think you can get my forgiveness by patting my head? Who do you think you are!"

Capela forced himself to look even more ferocious, glaring at Subaru Natsuki with the most menacing look he had ever given in his life.

In the past, the moment Aiko saw that look, her legs would tremble and she would lose her balance.

But Natsuki Subaru was completely oblivious, as he was so engrossed in his discovery that he couldn't even begin to explain himself.

As Capella's Benevolence Gauge gradually filled up, Subaru Natsuki was almost certain—patting someone's head was indeed the benevolent way Capella wanted!

It is unclear whether the speed and intensity will affect the growth rate of the Benevolence and Righteousness Trough.

With this in mind, Subaru Natsuki decided to give it a try. He began to adjust the speed, force, and depth of his stroking based on the growth rate of the cleavage.

Observe the changes that accumulated during that period of benevolence and virtue time and time again.

Pat it gently, it will expand slowly;

Massage along the hair strands; it will expand quickly.

The longer your fingers stay on your scalp, the faster they will grow.

Soon, Subaru Natsuki found the most suitable frequency.

His palm landed repeatedly on Capella's head, his movements becoming increasingly practiced. The benevolence that Natsuki Subaru sensed from her steadily increased, quickly surpassing forty percent.

However, his own moral compass remained unchanged.

Natsuki Subaru was somewhat puzzled by this, but he didn't stop.

Back in the day, after he obtained the Claw Emperor Flying Lightning, he spent a lot of time grooming that precious horse's mane.

Mounts have their own temperaments; the more unruly a horse is, the more you have to gently coax it.

Natsuki Subaru was focused on accumulating his righteousness gauge and didn't notice that Capella, who had just looked fierce, had visibly turned red after being roughly rubbed by him...

Just moments ago, Capella thought Natsuki Subaru was using the same old tricks to coax her, like a beast, and that she absolutely couldn't give in. She was determined to teach Natsuki Subaru a lesson. But now, only three words remained in her mind...

So...so comfortable...

Subaru Natsuki's touch was perfectly controlled... Every time his palm brushed against her scalp, it felt like an electric shock, sending shivers down Capella's spine.

Capela clearly felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and realized that his expression was crumbling.

But now she can barely even think anymore...

Her breathing became rapid, and her hot breaths wafted onto Subaru Natsuki's chest in layers.

The fierce glint in her red eyes was replaced by a watery light, and her cheeks were tinged with an increasingly obvious red.

"want to..."

"Give me..."

"Today... I absolutely have to..."

Subaru was completely unaware that Capela's rationality had been replaced by instinct.

He is also studying how to enable Capela to inherit more benevolence.

"Stroke its head a little faster, maybe it will..."

Natsuki Subaru was muttering to himself when Capella, who had been lying motionless in his arms for a while, suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar.

Before Natsuki Subaru could react, he was pinned down on the stone bed by Capela, whose body had suddenly matured, with a curvaceous figure that made one want to commit a crime just by looking at her.

Capella straddled Subaru Natsuki, her hands supporting her on either side, her long, golden hair falling from her shoulders, a few strands brushing against Subaru's cheeks.

Looking down at Subaru, Capela's crimson eyes were filled with a mixture of shame, anger, longing, and resentment that had been suppressed for too long.

"Subaru..."

Capela's voice trembled softly.

"I...I want..."

Before she could finish speaking, a series of cheerful footsteps came from outside the green room.

"Master!"

Xia Wula's running and shouting came through the door, as excited as if she had found some treasure.

"I've found Red's Book of the Dead!"

Capela was startled, and his body instantly returned to normal.

She turned around and came to the side, her face flushed and her breath coming in heavily.

Natsuki Subaru was still lying on the stone bed, not yet recovered.

He glanced at Capela, feeling that his mount had been acting a little strangely just now.

Then he turned his attention to the door.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Xia Wula came running in excitedly, carrying a thick book of the dead.

"Master, Xia Wula has found the Book of the Dead that swung the stick!"

Just as she was about to hand over the book, her gaze fell on Capella, who was sitting by the stone couch.

Capela's cheeks were flushed, her chest was heaving, and her hair was somewhat disheveled.

Looking further down, Natsuki Subaru was still lying on the stone bed, not even getting up.

Xia Wula paused for a moment.

"what?"

She blinked, frowned, looked at Capella, and then at Subaru Natsuki lying on the stone bed.

I have a feeling that Master was just being wronged...

However, Xia Wula quickly put this question out of his mind.

As long as Master is still here, nothing else matters.

She clutched the Book of the Dead tightly and continued walking towards Subaru Natsuki.

“Master, look, Xia Wula has found the book for you.”

Subaru Natsuki nodded, took the book, and after confirming with the fragmented knowledge he had gained from Roswaal's Book of the Dead that the name on the cover was indeed Red Astrea, he did not immediately open it.

Instead, he used the Orshamu magic to seal the book into a small bead.

Instead of using the Sword Saint's memories to improve his strength, he now has another idea!

Subaru Natsuki's gaze lingered on Shaula, while his consciousness sank into a perception of benevolence and righteousness.

After being patted on the head, Capella's Benevolence Gauge has accumulated to around 60%.

After that, touching his head didn't work as well.

However, after Capela suddenly pushed him down, he said he wanted to.

Perhaps there is a request he makes, and perhaps fulfilling this request will allow the virtue value to continue to increase.

However, judging from Capela's tone, this is probably not a simple matter.

Perhaps this is the mechanism of the Benevolence Value. When Benevolence Value is low at the beginning, simple tasks can quickly increase it.

Once you have accumulated enough Benevolence Points, you'll need to put in significantly more effort to increase them further.

Hmm, instead of painstakingly figuring out how to complete the remaining Benevolence progress, it would be better to find someone else to farm some simpler basic Benevolence points.

Xiawula, however, is clearly a more suitable target.

But the question is, what should we do?

Capella likes to be touched, but what does Shaula like?

Natsuki Subaru observed her intently.

Xia Wula's cheeks grew redder and redder under his gaze, and her body began to squirm.

"Master, why are you staring at Xia Wula?"

"Could it be that Master feels Xia Wula did too well, so he wants to reward her?"

Subaru Natsuki did not answer.

He simply continued to feel the gradually becoming clearer accumulation of benevolence within Xia Wula.

Did her virtue begin to slowly grow simply because she was being watched?

It seems that for Xia Wula, her master's gaze was already a blessing in itself.

Girl, you seem a bit repressed!
