My double is steve

"This... Felix?"

When he looked up and saw the figure next to Fang Mo, Natsuki Subaru was also stunned.

"It's me, meow."

With a brisk response, the cat girl on the opposite side stuck out her tongue at him and said cutely: "Natsuki Subaru, congratulations on defeating the Witch Cult... I heard that you also eliminated the big rabbit?"

Yes, that's right, the one who came to visit the mansion at this moment was none other than the brown-haired cat girl in the Crusch camp, but the other party was dressed very casually, not wearing the formal white knight uniform, but a very cute casual dress, which looked unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.

"Ah, this is all thanks to Emilia Tan."

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head, and then asked curiously: "Speaking of which, Felix suddenly came here... Are you going to take old man Wilhelm and the others back?"

"Although I do have plans in this regard, I actually have some other reasons for coming this time." Felix shook his head.

"That is...?"

"It's a long story."

Felix's tone became a little more serious: "Actually, my Lord Crusch has always wanted to conquer the White Whale, and he wants to improve his chances of success in the King Selection through this, but the three great beasts are very dangerous, especially the White Whale of Mist. I am a little worried about Lord Crusch's safety."

"Today, I just received intelligence that Lord Natsuki Subaru has defeated the Great Rabbit, which is also one of the three great beasts, so I came here to ask for your advice."

"Is that so?"

Hearing what Felix said, Natsuki Subaru nodded subconsciously: "White Whale...isn't it the guy with super big eyes?"

"Sure enough, what is supposed to come will come?"

And hearing this, Fang Mo beside him couldn't help but speak in a deep voice: "A thick whale..."

"What?"

Felix beside him was confused: "Thick... thick?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Subaru Natsuki held his forehead with a headache: "Although I defeated that big rabbit, the size difference between the big rabbit and the white whale is too big. It feels like they are completely different monsters. Excuse me, my combat experience is probably of little reference value."

"Really?"

Felix frowned subconsciously when he heard it: "This is troublesome..."

"But although combat experience is of little reference value, if Lord Crusch needs it, we are happy to go and help."

Subaru Natsuki suddenly added.

"Hey?"

Hearing this, Felix seemed to be stunned for a moment: "This... Lord Natsuki Subaru is willing to help?"

"Yes."

Natsuki Subaru smiled and said: "After all, no matter how slow I am, I can see that Emilia Tan and Lord Crusch should have a good relationship, right? What's more, I hit it off with old man Wilhelm, and he and White Whale are mortal enemies... It's okay for me to help."

"This, but..."

Felix said with a slightly hesitant expression: "This time is different, Lord Crusch intends to use this achievement to compete for the King's election."

"Oh, that doesn't matter."

Natsuki Subaru smiled indifferently: "I can only do my work here, and the merits let It's okay to give it to you, just think of it as consolidating our alliance. "

"What..."

"Don't worry, this is not a deal."

Without waiting for Felix to say anything, Natsuki Subaru smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "This is mutual help between allies. I hate anything related to witches. It would be great if we could destroy them as soon as possible..."

"Sir Natsuki Subaru is really open-minded."

Hearing this, Felix couldn't help but sigh: "I must thank you on behalf of Lord Crusch..."

"There's no need for this kind of thing..."

"Don't worry, Xiao Cai is easy to deal with." However, before Natsuki Subaru could be polite, After a few words, Fang Mo suddenly patted his shoulder and started to talk nonsense: "Just give him a taste of the ice cream!"

"Small, small ice cream?"

Felix repeated it with some surprise: "What is that?"

"Oh, it's Bais..."

Fang Mo started to explain without thinking, but he was covered by Nayuki Subaru's mouth when he was halfway through his words: "Brother Dongwen, please say less. My heart has been captured by Emilia a long time ago. I am an absolutely loyal and dedicated man, okay?"

"Then I took Rem away?"

"Don't..."

Nayuki Subaru's momentum immediately weakened a bit: "Why are you so serious about the game world? I was wrong, I don't Zhuanyi, I'm going to apologize, okay?"

"That."

Just as they were talking, the brown-haired cat girl opposite suddenly reminded them in a low voice: "Although I don't quite understand what you are saying, it should be related to girls, right? Please don't count me in, because I'm a boy..."

"Ah? ? ? "

When Natsuki Subaru heard this, he was stunned: "What the hell is this? !"

"Nothing wrong."

Just at this moment, Fang Mo next to him spread his hands and said: "I just said eating small ice cream, right? Then recall if there is a small stick under the ice cream?"

"No buddy?"

Natsuki Subaru really didn't understand what Fang Mo's brain circuit was.

"The one without the stick is called ice cream..."

Fang Mo added another sentence.

"I really am." Natsuki Subaru sighed tiredly, and finally gave up the plan to continue arguing with Fang Mo: "Forget it, Felix, anyway, let's stay and have a celebration banquet together. We can discuss it. Some details about the whale crusade.”

"Okay meow."

Felix nodded cooperatively.

Then there’s nothing much to say next, it’s just that everyone gets together to eat hot pot in the evening.

Since people in this other world have never eaten authentic butter hot pot, they were deeply attracted by this thing in an instant. They were just like Fang Moxue, and they cooked up some hairy tripe, yellow throat, and duck intestines. , fish, and of course some vegetables and meat.

The entire restaurant was filled with steam, and the air was filled with that pungent and spicy smell.

Of course.

It’s worth mentioning because this stuff is so spicy…

Although many people like it, some people are really not used to this taste, mainly because it is too spicy. Natsuki Subaru can still eat Haisei with his strong mouth, but Beatrice and the others are not so good. .

Especially Emilia, she was so hot that she almost shed tears.

So Fang Mo also came to the conclusion that the half-elf is likely to have some Fujian blood.

In the end, the original spicy pot was forced to become a mandarin duck pot, which made everyone feel happy, but most of them, including Natsuki Subaru... were not conscious at all. How painful it will be to go to the toilet the next day.

Anyway, wait until after dinner.

Natsuki Subaru was not idle either, but took care of some follow-up matters.

For example, he had made an appointment to talk to Emilia before, so he took the initiative to go to her bedroom.

The two chatted for a short time, and Emilia also expressed her inner thoughts. He didn't want to be a burden to anyone. He was also working hard to become stronger, and hoped that Natsuki Subaru could regard her as a companion. Instead of a protected princess.

Except for Emilia.

Natsuki Subaru also went to Roswaal's study, exchanged some experiences with Yin magic, and asked for some methods to improve mental power.

Roswaal didn't know what Natsuki Subaru wanted to do, but he still patiently taught him how to meditate. Although the efficiency was not very high, it could indeed exercise his mental strength. I believe that if he persists with the tough words and protection, he will definitely be able to achieve success. harvested.

All in all, it was a quick night without words.

Early the next morning, Felix returned to the royal capital with Wilhelm and his party.

It was just after Natsuki Subaru said goodbye to the other party.

But I spent a long time squatting on the toilet.

It was only then that he finally understood a truth from Fang Mo, that is, persuading people to eat spicy food is essentially the same as persuading people to be stupid. The lines are all about trying, and they are very comfortable, but after trying it, it doesn't matter. Will you fall in love...it will hurt your skin afterwards.

Fortunately, Natsuki Subaru's mouth is tough enough.

He finally managed to escape from the toilet before his legs went numb.

After that, he took Emilia with him and went to a nearby village with him to appease the people, and at the same time, he hoped to change the villagers' views on Emilia.

Fortunately, after experiencing this crisis.

The villagers did have some new views on Emilia.

In the past, they all regarded each other as a taboo, or the incarnation of a witch, but when they encountered the monster Usagi before, due to Natsuki Subaru's special arrangement, the villagers learned that Emilia approved their asylum request. , and has been trying desperately to protect them.

And after such an incident.

These villagers' views on Emilia have indeed changed a lot.

Especially during the evacuation period, the mansion was attacked wildly by members of the Witch Cult, which made many villagers change their original views.

It was originally in the imagination of these villagers.

Emilia is a witch, so the people of the Witch Cult should respect her only.

But now the people of the Witch Cult attacked the mansion in turn. Emilia even led her subordinates to fight back, and then killed the invading Sin Archbishop.

And this also made these villagers realize a fact.

That is to say, Emilia is not a witch, but a victim. After all, the people from the Witch Cult came to attack her...

After figuring this out.

The villagers here immediately supported Emilia uncharacteristically.

After getting the first batch of supporters, Emilia was also very happy. At this time, Roswaal also made a special trip to find the two of them and explained some of the current situation to them.

Currently, Emilia has defeated the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult and the Warcraft Rabbit.

It's useless to just let the people around the territory know about this kind of achievement. It needs to be seen by the nobles and the sages. So the best way is to go to the royal capital with evidence and wait until the royal capital issues an announcement. , then people in the entire kingdom will know these achievements.

Natsuki Subaru thought about it for a while after hearing this.

Now that Roswaal has taken the oath, there is a high probability that he will not be able to do anything else, and this proposal is indeed very pertinent, so after some discussion, several people also decided to go to the royal capital immediately.

Just do it.

After collecting some evidence.

Not long after, Natsuki Subaru took Emilia and Rem to the royal capital, and of course Fang Mo followed.

As for Roswaal, there is no need to come together.

When the Witch Cult invaded, they caused a lot of trouble in Mezasi Territory. This kind of thing just made him, the lord, think of ways to deal with it.

Anyway, it's pretty quick.

The group of people came to the royal capital again.

And when several people submitted the evidence of killing the Sin Archbishop and Big Rabbit, these nobles were alarmed as expected. After all, both the Witch Cult and the Warcraft have been scourges that have been raging in the kingdom for many years, and no one has been able to truly prove it. Solve them.

Even the regular army of the kingdom.

We can only barely expel or defeat these guys, but there is no way to completely eliminate them.

So after confirming the authenticity of the news, the Wise Society almost instantly changed its view on Emilia and stated that it would announce the news to the people as soon as possible.

Compared to the last king selection meeting.

Obviously the attitude of the nobles was much better this time.

Natsuki Subaru was in a good mood because of this, so after leaving the palace, he also planned to take a walk around with Emilia. After all, he is still a young man after all, and who doesn't like to hang out with the people he likes? How about shopping hand in hand?

It's a pity that he just took two steps and didn't arrive.

The Karlsten family...

That is to say, the people from Kurxiu came over and invited a few people to the house to talk.

When Natsuki Subaru went to his house, he found that it was already filled with all kinds of weapons and equipment, and cavalry and the like were also on standby. This tense atmosphere obviously said it all.

And Crusch did not hide anything.

After seeing everyone, he first thanked Natsuki Subaru sincerely, and then said that he had received the information and decided to attack the White Whale tonight.

"Tonight?"

After Natsuki Subaru heard about Kurxiu's plan, he pondered for a moment.

"Isn't it convenient?"

Crusch asked a little strangely.

"I can do it at any time." Natsuki Subaru shook his head: "But how is the intelligence collection going? Have you mastered the white whale's fighting style, habits, weaknesses, etc.? And the information must be blocked as much as possible to avoid An accident happened..."

"Miss Theresia has experience fighting the white whale and probably knows some of the information."

Crusch said frankly: "As for the information blockade... this may be difficult. After all, with such a large team, it is difficult not to be discovered by interested parties. But is Natsuki Subaru worried about other members of the King's Chosen? Or... "

"I'm worried about those crazy people from the Witch Cult."

Natsuki Subaru frowned slightly: "The three major monsters are said to be created by Daphne, the gluttonous witch...and the people of the Witch Cult worship witches crazily. If they learn that the witch creations they worship are being conquered, God knows what they will do. Things are coming.”

"So that's it."

Curxiu's expression was also a little solemn: "I did not consider this part of the factors. It seems that I need to adjust my countermeasures."

"The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more likely it will be discovered by the enemy."

Natsuki Subaru suggested: "The faster the crusade is, the better, but we must find ways to prevent the Witch Cult's sneak attacks, customize some countermeasures, and at least strengthen the investigation around the battlefield..."

"Okay, I understand."

Curxiu nodded immediately after hearing this: "I will send people to make arrangements in this regard and increase the search range of the scouts..."

"Um."

In short, a few people quickly formulated a rough crusade strategy.

Since everyone was at the palace in the morning, it was already afternoon when they arrived at the Duke of Carlsten's Palace, so everyone didn't stay long. After a short rest, the sky darkened, and the expedition team here was also mighty. Action began.

Probably wait until the march reaches around early morning.

In the Fortel Plain, a dense fog suddenly appeared in the originally empty area.

As someone who has encountered a beluga at close range, Natsuki Subaru's expression became solemn almost immediately after noticing this.

"...here he comes."
