“It’s not fair, it’s not fair at all. Why can she drink tea and chat? I have so much work to do!” Natsuki Subaru pointed at Yamabuki Hanajin next to him.

"The two of you are fundamentally different. You're going to work here for a long time, while Miss Yamabuki is essentially Emilia's guest. And I've also heard that Miss Yamabuki played a big role in that incident before, while you were just a bystander, right?" Ram covered her mouth with her small hand and chuckled.

"Do all maids these days have a sharp tongue?" Natsuki Subaru looked at the huge pile of work in front of him. He could only try his best. What else could he do?

Yamabuki Hanajin watched with a smile from the side.

No wonder those unscrupulous bosses can't stand having their employees around.

Watching others work themselves to the bone while I leisurely dictate the course of events—that feeling is truly exhilarating.

"After you've cleaned the bathroom, go to the kitchen and peel potatoes," Ram instructed Subaru without any hesitation.

Natsuki Subaru staggered toward the kitchen.

Emilia was a little worried about Subaru Natsuki.

“You don’t need to worry about him at all. This kid is very strong. He’ll be fine.” Yamabuki Hanajin swirled the black tea in her cup.

Emilia was a little reluctant to see Yamabuki Hanajin leave: "Are you really leaving tomorrow? Actually, it's fine to stay here."

“My goal is the stars and the sea, how could I stay here forever? Of course, I will come back when you are in trouble,” Yamabuki Hanajin said very gently.

I had a very happy day. Although I am nominally a maid, I don't have to do any work. I can just relax and enjoy the day.

As for tomorrow...

Tomorrow won't come so easily.

Natsuki Subaru was peeling potatoes in the kitchen when Rem suddenly walked over and said, "Sister, we're running low on spices in the kitchen. We should go to the village to buy some."

“Well, Barus, you and Rem go together. It’s a good opportunity for you to get to know the people in the village,” Ram said.

Going shopping with a cute girl is definitely a good idea, and Natsuki Subaru was immediately full of energy, heading to the village under Rem's guidance.

Yamabuki Hanakami sat at the highest point of the castle, watching the excited Natsuki Subaru.

Young man, do you know what despair is?

Yamabuki Hanakami doesn't plan to directly clear the game.

That would be no fun.

Overall, today was very peaceful.

Everyone had a great time dining together.

Late at night, Ram sat on Roswaal's lap as the two replenished their mana.

Of course, they really did replenish their magic power in a normal way, not some weird method, so please don't get the wrong idea.

"What do you think of those two newcomers? Is it possible that they are spies sent by someone else?" Roswaal gently stroked Ram's head.

“Natsuki Subaru is a man who can make a complete mess of everything, but he might be pretending. As for Ms. Yamabuki… she’s very approachable and doesn’t seem to be pretending. Besides, if she leaves tomorrow, it will prove that she’s fine.” Ram’s tone was gentle.

"Starting tomorrow, you should keep a close eye on the two of them. If anything seems amiss, hehe."

Ram instantly understood his master's meaning.

Ram will help them maintain a dignified appearance.

Meanwhile, Natsuki Subaru was outdoors looking at the stars in the sky. The stars in this world were completely different from those in the real world.

"Isn't the moon beautiful tonight?" Yamabuki Hanajin glanced at the countdown.

The game is about to officially begin.

Emilia sat in a flower bed not far away, wearing a loose nightgown, her long silver hair, which was originally tied up, falling over her shoulders, making her look like a moon goddess descended from the sky.

Natsuki Subaru was stunned.

"Emilia, how about we go on a date?" Subaru Natsuki couldn't help but ask.

Yamabuki Hanajin sighed. "After going around in circles, we've come full circle. By the way, are you thinking with your lower body?"

Living alone in another world, without any cheat codes, powerful abilities, or exceptional intelligence, you should normally be extremely cautious. And yet you're thinking of dating a beautiful girl? You're asking for trouble!

"What is a date?" Emilia asked curiously.

As a teenage girl who believed that kissing could lead to pregnancy, her knowledge in that area was far too advanced for her.

"It's... going out to play together as a couple." Natsuki Subaru looked at Emilia with anticipation.

He would never forget the moment when Emilia appeared and saved him after he was beaten up by three thugs in an alley.

Emilia looked somewhat troubled. It wasn't that she didn't want to go out and play, but as a half-elf, going out with Subaru would definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings and might even cause trouble for Subaru.

"Um... Yamabuki, would you like to come out with us tomorrow?" Emilia suddenly threw this question at Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Me? It's fine if the two of us go together, but I don't want to go on a date with him. It would be a stain on my life, and I'd have nightmares about it." Yamabuki Hanajin waved her hand dismissively.

"I would never invite a woman with such a terrible personality like you on a date in my entire life. What kind of girl would start a fight with an axe at the drop of a hat? If it weren't for me... I would have been killed by you long ago." Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but yell.

When Yamabuki Hanajin faced the Bowel Hunter, she realized she had no chance of winning. In order to reload the save, she directly killed Natsuki Subaru. This was probably the biggest psychological trauma Natsuki Subaru ever experienced.

From that moment on, he never trusted gentle and kind girls again.

"Although I don't know what misunderstanding exists between you two, I'm relieved to see you getting along so well." Emilia smiled like an angel.

"Who's on good terms with him?!" X2

Subaru Natsuki and Hanajin Yamabuki both shouted at the same time.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'm going to sleep. See you tomorrow." Yamabuki Hanajin's tone was meaningful.

She saw a wild animal bite mark on Natsuki Subaru's palm.

Natsuki Subaru patted his cheeks. Today's work was really tough; it was time to go to bed early.

"See you tomorrow." Natsuki Subaru returned to his room.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a date with Emilia.

But I will definitely try my best tomorrow.

good night.

……

Silent all night.

When Natsuki Subaru woke up the next day, he saw the familiar ceiling.

Welcome to the game! Save file loaded successfully. Please continue your game challenge.

Chapter 653 (Main Text · 654) Come to my room tonight?

Natsuki Subaru stared blankly at the ceiling.

He couldn't understand what had happened to him. Wasn't I sleeping in the servants' room? Why did I wake up in the guests' room?

Natsuki Subaru stared at his hands, unable to calm down for a long time.

What exactly happened? Did I reload my save file? Does that mean I was murdered while I was sleeping last night?

A strong sense of fear swept over Subaru Natsuki.

Everything was going well, so why did this accident happen so suddenly? How did I die? Could someone have killed me for fun? Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible.

Natsuki Subaru immediately suspected Yamabuki Hanajin, after all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

"Sister, sister, the guests seem very nervous, is everything alright?"

"Rem, Rem, the guest seems nervous. Is everything alright?"

It was those twin maids again. Natsuki Subaru reached out and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Just then, the door opened, and Yamabuki Hanajin walked in with a smile.

"Yo ho! Little Cai, we meet again."

Looking at the smile on Yamabuki Hanajin's face, Natsuki Subaru suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have said the same thing to him last night.

Sure enough, that bastard knows something.

"It was you, wasn't it? It was definitely you, wasn't it? Did you kill me? There was no one else but you, right? How could you be so dismissive of human life? Even if I... don't actually die, I would still be in great pain when I die. This isn't something you can get used to just by doing it a few times. Apologize to me right now." Natsuki Subaru was losing control of his emotions.

Rem and Ram, who were standing nearby, were a little frightened. The two cute maids huddled together, trembling.

"You seem to have misunderstood something." Yamabuki Hanajin looked calmly at Natsuki Subaru in front of him: "I have never been interested in you from the beginning, and I would never kill you for such an absurd reason."

"Then tell me who exactly..." Natsuki Subaru realized that Rem and Ram were also nearby, so he didn't finish his sentence.

"How would I know? Someone who doesn't even know how they died shouldn't be barking here. By the way, I'm not some kind of saint. If you piss me off, I'll cut off your hands and feet and imprison you in the basement. That way you won't bite your tongue and commit suicide. I'll cut off your tongue too, and have someone feed you every day. I guarantee you won't die for more than ten years. Don't you think that's interesting?" Yamabuki Hanajin stared at Natsuki Subaru.

Subaru Natsuki's expression had changed from anger to terror. The other person was the only one in the world who knew about the death loop, and given his personality, he might actually do such a thing.

"Sister, sister, the new maid seems to have said something incredible."

"Rem, Rem, I'm a little scared."

The two little cuties huddled together, shivering.

"Ah~ Xiao Cai, don't be afraid. I was just talking nonsense. How could someone as kind as me do such a thing? Don't panic. I believe you can find the real culprit. Keep going, I'm supporting you in spirit." Yamabuki Hanajin immediately changed her expression.

Natsuki Subaru has already experienced what it means to be "two-faced," and this woman's words should never be completely trusted.

Judging from her attitude, she must know something, but why is she unwilling to tell me?

“Although Yamabuki Hanajin has a terrible personality, she definitely wouldn’t hurt Emilia. That means the chances of her killing someone in this castle are slim, and the other party knows about my ability to rewind time after death… No, I don’t have a single clue.” Natsuki Subaru clutched his head.

This is too difficult! This question is so hard, I have no idea how to do it.

The only thing we can do now is keep gathering intelligence.

First, I need to determine whether the person who killed me was Yamabuki Hanajin.

If it's her, this jerk is probably just doing it for fun, which isn't a big deal. She's just a little girl; her fighting power shouldn't be too high.

But... what if the murderer isn't her...

This proves that the murderer is in this castle.

Besides killing himself, could this person kill others?

What if he does something detrimental to Emilia?

Natsuki Subaru's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he thought about this.

What if their target isn't me, but Emilia...?

Subaru Natsuki got goosebumps.

Thinking about this, he now somewhat hoped that the person who killed him last time was Yamabuki Hanajin.

In this way, he at least wouldn't have to worry about Emilia getting hurt.

Emilia then entered the room, and after confirming that Subaru Natsuki was alright, she left.

Natsuki Subaru quickly devised this plan.

You don't need to do anything deliberately; just do everything you did last time.

In this way, the murderer will definitely come looking for me tonight, and I will find the murderer even if it costs me my life.

……

kitchen.

Yamabuki Hanakami is helping to prepare breakfast.

The cleaver flew through her hands, and in a few moments, she had shredded all the necessary ingredients into thin strips.

"Aww!" The Rem and Ram sisters clapped their hands from the side.

"She's so young, yet so capable," Ram exclaimed, giving her a thumbs up.

"I am very confident in my swordsmanship." Yamabuki Hanakami twirled the sword between her fingertips.

“I can also help with the cooking, since I also work here, although it’s just a temporary job.” Yamabuki Hanajin pulled out her long-lost cookbook, “Cooking: From Beginner to Tomb.”

That's right, this damn thing, Yamabuki Hanajin, has always been by her side.

Rem and Ram have a pretty good attitude towards Yamabuki Hanajin.

Subaru Natsuki meets Roswaal again and wishes to become his servant, preparing to help in the kitchen.

"Everyone, I'm here!" Natsuki Subaru pushed open the kitchen door, startling Yamabuki Hanajin so much that the cleaver in her hand flew out of her grasp and pierced directly between Natsuki Subaru's eyebrows.
