“Good, so amazing…”
Natsuki Subaru looked up, dumbfounded, at the red pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, and muttered, “Because the badge has this effect, that's why Felt, you went to steal it?”
“Little brother, you're wrong. I didn't know it had this effect either. I stole it just because the price was high.”
Felt also looked blank.
The two of them had a 'come out and see God' expression.
Reinhardt also asked strangely, “Lady Emilia, this thing…”
“It doesn't have this effect! …At least, I don't know.”
Emilia denied it forcefully, but the facts were in front of her, undeniable. In the end, she looked at Zun Zun with some hesitation and complexity.
The two of them understood what this represented.
Similarly, Zun Zun also knew what this represented, but he was the least willing to know among everyone present. He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and pretended to be stupid, saying, “Reinhardt, this is bad, this badge seems to be broken.”
After saying that, he really wanted to slap himself.
This excuse was too bad.
Reinhardt grabbed Zun Zun's hand again. This action caused Natsuki Subaru and Emilia to fall silent again. And what was even more silencing was—
“Your name? Surname? Age!?”
They had just heard this question!
But before Zun Zun could answer, Reinhardt stared at Zun Zun's eyes, muttering, “Red eyes… black hair? No, it could also be with someone else… age is about the same as Felt, should be 14 years old… is he an illegitimate child? But Felt, she…”
14 years ago, Landhar Lugnica, the 41st King of Lugnica, had his brother, Fuldo Lugnica's daughter, stolen by a thief who broke into his mansion.
This child was never found afterwards.
Some people suspected that there were insiders in the Knights Guard who allowed the thief to escape.
This incident and the child's existence were concealed, because it was a very serious matter for the royal family's children to be stolen, so it was not recorded in the Dragon Calendar Stone.
Reinhardt, as the successor of the Sword Saint family, naturally understood this kind of inside story. He originally thought that the lost child was Felt, but Zun Zun's appearance made him a little confused. Or perhaps Zun Zun was not that daughter, but a similarly hidden illegitimate child?
“Th-that, Reinhardt…?”
Emilia was a little worried.
Natsuki Subaru patted her shoulder and deliberately laughed it off, “Hey, hey, hey, Sir Reinhardt, you wouldn't have any strange ideas about children, would you?”
“…Why would you say that, Subaru?”
“I didn't believe it at first, but Felt is one thing, but Zun Zun was also caught by you. I know both of them are very young and easily attract bad people, but Reinhardt, you wouldn't have the same thoughts, would you?”
“It's not like that.”
Reinhardt had been slandered the most.
He took a deep breath and said to the silver-haired girl, “Lady Emilia, I cannot keep the promise I made earlier. Please leave these two to me for now.”
“I see…”
Emilia was slightly silent.
If it was Felt, she might have asked for the reason again, but Zun Zun's strange phenomenon just now, no matter how innocent the silver-haired girl was, she knew why, so she looked at Zun Zun with such a complicated expression.
“Eh, aren't you going to persuade me anymore?”
Natsuki Subaru looked at the girl beside him, hoping that she could try to fight for it again.
“Reinhardt, can I ask for the reason? You wouldn't want to punish the theft of the badge, would you?”
“That is certainly not a minor crime… However, compared to the sin of turning a blind eye to the scene before us, it is simply insignificant.”
Confused and unable to understand.
Emilia and Natsuki Subaru frowned.
Zun Zun also clenched his fists.
He knew it would turn out like this!
He even had a premonition that it would turn out like this when the badge glowed.
Okay, in that case, then prove it and let Reinhardt see his Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon!
“Come with me for a moment.”
“…Eh, wait, wait a moment, what do you want to do?”
“I'll show you a big treasure!”
Zun Zun grabbed Reinhardt's hand and walked towards the back of the hillside.
Felt moved her feet slightly. She really wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but looking at Old Man Rom lying flat on the ground, her expression changed and she finally sighed and did not leave ungratefully.
Heaven knows how much temptation she resisted, hoping that the Sword Saint would keep his word and not really punish her.
Soon, the attention of several people was attracted to the other side. They couldn't help but be attracted, because the conversation between the two was too easy to be misunderstood.
“Wa-wait a moment! Why are you taking off your clothes!”
“Of course, it's to let you see my body.”
“No! You have to cherish yourself, and I'm not what you think!”
“Enough, hurry up and open your eyes and look! What are you shy about!”
The three looked at each other after hearing this.
Natsuki Subaru really wanted to go over and find out, but he was stopped by Emilia and Felt. They looked at each other silently.
After a long while.
Zun Zun walked back briskly, while the Sword Saint, who was a few steps behind, was rarely silent. His clear blue eyes showed confusion and bewilderment, and his face also showed an expression of doubting life that did not match his personality.
Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but ask.
“Reinhardt, you… you wouldn't have really done something irreversible to Zun Zun, would you? I really misjudged you!”
He said this to ease the atmosphere and let Reinhardt take the initiative to explain.
However, the Sword Saint remained confused and asked a very strange question: “Lady Emilia, is the Dragon Priestess a boy?”
Huh? ? ?
“Hey, hey, hey, Reinhardt, are you stupid? The profession of priestess must be a girl! …No, considering the special attributes of the game, there are also male priestesses… for example, Urushihara Ruka.”
Natsuki Subaru said this casually, but soon he pinched his chin and said a very well-known name.
Reinhardt ignored Natsuki Subaru's strange words, looked at the silver-haired girl, one of the Dragon Priestesses, and asked for her answer.
“Impossible. The Dragon Calendar Stone prophesied that there would be five Dragon Priestesses appearing… Eh, could it be…!?”
Emilia looked at Zun Zun in disbelief, and obviously also discovered the key to the problem.
“Wait a moment, what riddles are you guys playing, tell me too!”
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!
“Subaru, shut up first!”
“Oh, oh… Emilia, you are surprisingly tough sometimes.”
Natsuki Subaru was glared at fiercely by the girl and decisively shut his mouth.
Reinhardt also looked at Zun Zun with a complicated expression, somewhat unable to understand and suspected, could it be that the dragon changed its taste? Or did Zun Zun use some method to deceive himself? Deceive himself who possesses 47 blessings?
Zun Zun grinned.
“That's right. Reinhardt, you're mistaken. Not only you, but the dragon is also mistaken. It's impossible for me to be one of those five, and haven't you already found the last one?”
He pointed at Felt.
“Hmm… indeed.”
“Right! So—”
“But I can't just let you leave like this either. This unexpected situation is not recorded in the kingdom. Maybe this will be a new revelation, in short… stay with me for this period. Please rest assured, I will not let you be harmed.”
“…Eh?”
Zun Zun was dumbfounded.
He had already proved that he was a boy and could not participate in the royal selection, and even the fifth Dragon Priestess had already appeared in front of Reinhardt, but he was still forcibly kept.
What a joke!
Zun Zun subconsciously wanted to slip away, but as soon as he started, Reinhardt seemed to have guessed that this would happen, and the Sword Saint, who was prepared, grabbed his wrist.
Felt laughed when she saw this.
“I didn't expect you couldn't escape either!”
“Felt, you… why are you laughing so happily? Didn't you want to escape just now?”
Natsuki Subaru was a little curious.
The thief girl showed her little tiger teeth and smiled, “I was very scared at first, but seeing someone as unlucky as me makes me less scared. According to the slums, it should be called having a companion on the road to the underworld.”
“No, no, no, I don't think Reinhardt will kill you.”
Natsuki Subaru understood.
This is not gloating, but generality, or universality.
Seeing that Zun Zun had the same experience as himself made him feel much more at ease, alleviating Felt's anxiety and giving Felt confidence.
At this time, Zun Zun had completely stopped struggling.
He still had self-awareness.
Wanting to escape from the hands of a cheater is simply wishful thinking, not to mention that Reinhardt is the cheater among cheaters.
Moreover, if he wants to go home, he must ask Reinhardt to break open the space tunnel. At least in Zun Zun's memory, there are very few people in this world who can do this, and the other party is a benevolent and orderly person, and there is only Reinhardt.
Even a certain artificial great spirit is a kind and neutral character.
Besides, even if he is recognized, he cannot participate in the royal selection. After all, Felt is the real fifth Dragon Priestess, and those old fogeys in the council will not admit a boy to participate in the royal selection.
Seeing that Zun Zun no longer struggled, Reinhardt relaxed his strength slightly, took the badge from his hand and handed it to Emilia. The badge imitating the dragon is the symbol of the pro-dragon kingdom of Lugnica.
The red gem, which emitted a faint dim light in Reinhardt's hand, bloomed with dazzling brilliance at the same time as it was taught to Emilia's hand, as if it was happy to return to its owner.
Of course, it was far from Zun Zun.
“Lady Emilia, you should still be summoned in the near future, please forgive me.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
Emilia nodded solemnly.
It happened that the other members of the Knights also rushed over, and they parted ways.
Natsuki Subaru naturally followed the Emilia he was thinking about to the mansion of the frontier earl Roswaal, Zun Zun, Felt, and Old Man Rom, who was lying flat on the ground, followed Reinhardt to the Sword Saint's mansion.
A strong wind blew.
Reinhardt looked up at the clear sky, the full moon emitting a hazy silver-white glow, its beauty contained an unspeakable strange charm.
Today is probably the last time to be able to calmly enjoy the moon.
