Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Mary quickly found the answer.

The blue-haired maid has arrived.

She was accompanied by a dark-haired young man.

The young man did not appear dangerous.

At least in Mary's eyes, he didn't seem like a dangerous person at all.

As he walks, he looks around, sighs when he sees the fields, and smiles naturally when he sees the children at the village entrance.

That kind of smile didn't resemble that of an assassin or a mercenary.

Unlike those who know they are going to be killed and therefore tense all over.

He was noisy, carefree, and even a little silly.

Meili made a silent judgment in her mind.

This person is easy to bite.

She didn't even need to make a special effort to get close to him.

The village children had already gathered around.

"Rem, my sister!"

Are you here to buy something again today?

Who is this person?

Petra ran over too, and she seemed particularly interested in the dark-haired man, circling around him.

All Mary had to do was stand next to the children, hug the dog, and lower her head, like a new friend who was a little hesitant to speak.

Sure enough, the black-haired youth quickly noticed the puppy in her arms.

His eyes lit up.

"Good dog."

Mary lowered her head, her lips almost curling up in a smile.

coming.

The mission went even more smoothly than she had imagined.

The black-haired youth crouched down and reached out his hand to the dog.

"Come, let the Great General of the Wei Chariots and Cavalry touch it."

What about the Great Wei?

Mary didn't understand.

but it does not matter.

The dog has raised its head.

The docile expression vanished in an instant, a dark, bestial rage surfacing from the depths of its eyes, and sharp teeth snapped at the outstretched hand.

Mary had already begun to mentally calculate what would happen next.

Biting.

The curse was planted.

She continued to pretend to be a frightened child.

The blue-haired maid will most likely be busy taking care of the injured black-haired man.

She and her dog could then escape in the chaos.

Then all you need to do is wait for night to fall, trigger the curse, and...

But the next moment, Mary's smile froze.

Subaru Natsuki's hand suddenly turned into a blur.

Before his teeth closed, his wrist, as if it had known there would be a mouth there, suddenly pulled back.

The dog bit at nothing.

The upper and lower teeth collided, making a very soft, crisp sound.

Natsuki Subaru was taken aback.

Then he burst into laughter.

"Okay!"

"So young, yet you lack martial ethics and dare to attempt a sneak attack on this general?"

"What a pity! A sneak attack from behind can't hurt me, Natsuki Subaru!"

Chapter 36: 036. I'm sorry, I really can't remember your name.

Subaru's words sent a chill down Merry's spine.

A sneak attack?

Did he realize I was attacking him?

Did he discover that I'm a monster user?

He knew this puppy wasn't an ordinary puppy.

Did he deliberately reach out to provoke the dog into making a move?

Mary's fingers tightened around the puppy little by little.

She almost ordered the dog to pounce on her immediately.

But Natsuki Subaru quickly stretched out his hand, pointed at the puppy, and continued in a serious tone:

"You little rascal, you look honest, but you actually harbor murderous intent. If you were in the Three Kingdoms period, you would surely be a fierce dog."

Mary was stunned.

He was talking to the dog.

What a strange guy, but it's probably for the best.

It's good not to talk to yourself.

He didn't even realize he had discovered himself.

Mary let out a soft breath, realizing she had scared herself, but her heart was still pounding.

This man is really strange.

He seemed completely unguarded and carefree, so he should have been easy to bite. How did he manage to dodge?

Coincidence?

It must be a coincidence.

It can only be a coincidence.

"Hey, little sister."

Subaru Natsuki suddenly looked at her.

Mary's body stiffened slightly.

"Why do you look so ugly?"

Did the dog scare you?

Mary slowly raised her head, revealing a slightly timid expression.

No, no.

Natsuki Subaru stared at her for two seconds.

Mary's body stiffened, fearing that she might have given herself away and been discovered.

In fact, Natsuki Subaru suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.

Before the initial time travel, back when we were still on Earth.

He seems to have another very impressive identity.

King of the kids.

Back then, he was very good at getting along with the neighborhood kids, playing with them, and telling stories and jokes.

Later, he went to the Three Kingdoms period, died too many times, and fought too many battles.

His skills as a leader of children have been abandoned for a long time.

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to pick up my old skills again!

After all, "king" signifies the reign of an emperor!

"Little sister, don't be afraid."

Natsuki Subaru patted his chest. Making children laugh is the first step to becoming a king of kids!

"Let me tell you a joke."

A thought struck Mary.

joke?

This is an opportunity.

While he's telling jokes and letting his guard down, the dog might have a second chance to bite.

Even if not, having the dog circle around to the blue-haired maid might work.

So Mary obediently nodded.

Petra and the other children were also drawn to the scene.

"joke?"

"What is it?"

"Will it be funny?"

Natsuki Subaru cleared his throat, his expression suddenly becoming very serious.

“I’m asking you.”

Why are feet whiter than hands?

The children were all stunned. Was this a joke?

Rem seemed to have already guessed what was going to happen next, and too ashamed to look, she silently turned her head away.

At that moment, Mary felt a chill run down her spine.

foot.

hand.

Why ask about the feet?

He just dodged the dog.

Now you're asking this kind of question again.

Is this an implication that she has already given herself away?

Subaru Natsuki looked at Merry.

"What do you think?"

Mary's lips moved slightly.

She originally intended to just guess randomly.

But the fear of being watched made her voice tremble slightly, and her ominous premonition grew stronger.

"I...I don't know..."

"Because feet can hide better than hands!"
