I like traveling the most

In a dark room where sunlight cannot enter.

Two men were talking.

"Do you have anything else to say, Knight Julius?"

"No, everything is as the report says."

Marcus sat behind the duty table, and Julius stood in front of the table with his back straight.

Seeing his subordinate put his sword on the table and showed that he would not complain even if he was cut, the Knight Commander sighed deeply.

His cognition was not so shallow as to know what would make the best knight do such a thing. And he would not ask superficial questions such as "Is it worth it?" or "Is it so intolerable to belittle the pride of the knight?"

After all, based on his understanding of the subordinate in front of him, there must be a reason for doing it.

However, there is still room for discussion.

Many other knights in the training ground also expressed their support for his behavior.

But having said that, it is too much. In the training ground, the extent of the boy's injuries has exceeded the level that can be explained by the simulated battle.

So, what kind of punishment should be given to him for his stubborn attitude?

The Knight Leader thought and lowered his eyes.

Then, at this moment.

"Here I come! Sorry to have kept you waiting! Little Fili is back!"

Pushing the door open with a brisk gesture, the cat-eared man with a messy knight's uniform jumped into the room. He saw the two people facing each other, put his finger on his lips and showed a suspicious smile.

"Oh, such a passionate look, could it be that Little Fili is a light bulb?"

"Don't talk about boring things, report to me quickly!"

"Captain, don't be so serious and show your true face."

"Hey, you have to distinguish between public and private in front of your subordinates... Forget it, anyway, report quickly."

The Knight Leader coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment.

It seems that he, who looks scary on the outside, is not always as serious as he is in the palace hall. In private, he can still get along with other knights.

Felice also got into the state and began to report.

"As ordered by the captain, start treating Subaru."

"What was the result?"

"There was no chance to do it."

Hearing this, the Knight Commander frowned slightly.

Is Emilia trying to use this as an excuse to put pressure on the Knights to make Julius receive severe punishment?

Unlike Kobayashi, it is normal for the Knight Commander to favor his subordinates.

Seeing his boss frowning, Ferris explained cheerfully: "The captain misunderstood. It's not that Lady Emilia didn't let Fili take action, but that Fili didn't have the opportunity to take action."

"...What do you mean, explain it quickly."

"That's because before Fili went, Subaru had already been cured. Not only that, whether it was his bruised face or several lost teeth, or even the door problem he originally had, they were all cured! Captain, aren't you surprised?"

"Are you so happy?"

Seeing his subordinates cheering, the Knight Commander thought he was making a fuss.

Although Ferris was also cheerful in the past, the two who knew his temperament felt that he was too cheerful this time, as if he had encountered something that made him extremely excited.

In response, the cat-eared man opened his arms.

"Don't you understand, Captain! This is an extremely special event! Subaru recovered in a very short time, isn't it surprising?"

"Surprised... Wait, you can't say?!"

The Knight Leader was indifferent at first, but soon he noticed something was wrong and opened his eyes wide.

Seeing the bright smile of the cat-eared man, he suppressed his inner shock.

Although Ferris is not in tune, he is a water system magician with outstanding strength and can be called the best on the continent. He has the title of [Blue], the pinnacle of water attributes, and is also the youngest person with this honorary title.

The person who can be praised by him so much means that the other party is more powerful than Ferris in terms of water magic!

The Knight Commander muttered, "Lady Emilia actually has such a powerful helper..."

"No, it shouldn't be someone from Lady Emilia's camp."

His guess was rejected by Julius.

Facing his superior's doubts, the best knight explained, "Lady Emilia is on duty in the duty room this time when she came to the capital. In addition to Count Roswaal L. Mezas and Lady Emilia, there was only Subaru Natsuki and a maid accompanying her."

"Plus, the maid didn't enter the palace, and Lord Roswaal and Lady Emilia's abilities are not as good as mine, not to mention Subaru, if he had the ability, he would have healed himself long ago. So, Julius said that it was not someone from Lady Emilia's camp, right?"

After a little bit of on-demand, Ferris also started thinking, because he was really too interested in unknown people.

Hearing the quick-thinking reasoning of his subordinates, the Knight Commander sighed that the two were worthy of being the first knights of the King's election candidates, and their strength and intelligence were undoubtedly the best choices.

Those candidates for the king, with their help, will surely make the kingdom more prosperous.

The question now is——

"So, who is this person?"

The Knight Commander asked in a testing tone.

He did not expect the two to deduce who that person is, this is just the Knight Commander's habitual statement.

However——

After a brief silence, Julius and Ferris spoke in succession:

"First, he is not a member of the Knights, second, he is someone who knows Natsuki Subaru, and then he is a powerful but unknown person."

"The most important thing is that he just appeared in the palace, otherwise he wouldn't have healed Subaru so quickly."

"And he should know Lady Emilia."

"Maybe he even watched the duel."

As a result, a figure appeared in the minds of the two. They looked at each other, and then said in unison with tacit understanding:

"——Kobayashi (dear)!"X2

He is not a member of the Knights, knows Natsuki Subaru and Emilia, and just watched the duel in the palace. His strength is unknown.

Julius pursed his lips.

There is very little information about Kobayashi.

According to the information collected, only that he once saved Emilia in the slums, and is a good friend of the Sword Saint Reinhard and currently lives in the Sword Saint Family Residence, nothing else is known.

I think the other party is in the camp of Lady Felt.

Regardless of character or strength, he recognized the other party. It would be great to be able to help, but if he becomes an opponent...

Not to mention the help of Reinhard, who is known as the strongest, he is a strong opponent no matter how you look at it.

It seems that I have to pay attention.

"Oh, little Fili, I was wrong too."

The cat-eared man shook his tail in distress.

He had seen Kobayashi at the border earl's mansion at that time, but his attention was on Natsuki Subaru at that time, and Wilhelm urged him to leave as soon as possible, so he didn't notice that there was a genius who was proficient in water magic around him.

However, this surprised Felice even more.

After all, he was the first water system magic user on the continent, but he didn't notice Kobayashi's existence. How powerful is that person's water magic?

This is the second time that the cat-eared man has such a great interest in a person.

The elegant knight is thinking, the cat-eared man is distressed, and the two seem to have some plans.

————

In the residence of the Sword Saint Family.

"——Ah!"

Kobayashi sneezed loudly.

Then, a charming concern came from the side.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?"

"No, maybe someone is talking about me."

Rubbing his nose, he looked at the two little girls playing in the distance.

I don't know when they started to stick to him.

On the surface, she is a teacher, but in fact, she is a nanny.

"To be honest, I think I am more like an old father."

"Old father? One of them is 15 years old, and the other is 12 years old. You can't say that he is an old father at only 18 years old?"

"I am speaking metaphorically, metaphorically. And are you saying that I can't be a father or that I am not old, which one is it?"

"Well...both?"

Kobayashi was speechless.

Looking at Elsa, who was full of intelligence and had a gentle look on her face, he could not connect her with the murderer who liked to disembowel.

The intellectual beauty noticed the sight and turned her head to ask in confusion: "What's wrong, looking at me like that?"

"I was thinking, if I'm the father, you should be the mother."

"...Ah, are you teasing me?"

"Yeah, that's right."

This time, Elsa was speechless.

She didn't know how to respond to Kobayashi's undisguised teasing.

Because there was no desire in the other person's eyes, not even fear or terror, which was completely different from the people she had met before.

I couldn't understand what Kobayashi was thinking, as if he saw his past, but he didn't have the irritating sympathy and disgust.

"You are really a strange person."

"Oh, I can't pretend I didn't hear this sentence. You know, when a woman is curious about a man, it means she is about to be caught."

"Then do you want to try?"

Elsa's mouth corners were raised even more, with obvious teasing.

But even if she didn't read his heart, she pulled out a crazy smile with intelligence, and her dark eyes showed a hint of blood red, and she knew that it was definitely not what she meant.

"No need."

"But I'm interested in you."

After saying that, she pushed Xiaolin down and sat on him.

I don't know what went wrong during this period. Elsa became fond of seducing Xiaolin, and her methods and actions became more and more excessive.

Holding his arms, lying on his back, and blowing in his ears, it was as if she was deliberately seducing Xiaolin to attack her.

However, once she made a move, she fell into Elsa's trap. This killer who liked to disembowel would definitely cut Xiaolin's waist and abdomen fiercely.

Xiaolin lay on the ground and let the other person ride on him. Feeling the other's tough and powerful legs, as well as the soft and plump buttocks, the two looked at each other and rubbed slightly.

It seemed that they were competing secretly.

Until the two little lolis who were playing and fighting found something strange. It should be said that when Elsa pushed Xiaolin to the ground, they stopped playing and came over.

Merry held the little wolf dog and asked timidly: "Sister, did the big brother bully you?"

"Look carefully, Meili, it is obvious that Elsa is bullying Xiaolin."

Feit has his own opinion.

Between Elsa who wanted to kill her and Xiaolin who saved her, she naturally favored the latter, even though the other party had set her up in the king selection ceremony.

And the puppet maid who stood by her side and served Xiaolin said: "Sister Felt, Lady Meili. Xiaolin and Elsa are discussing the topic of father, mother and children. Maybe the action is a bit intense and made Sir Feit and Sir Meili nervous."

"Father and mother..."

"And the child?!"

Merry and Firut were stunned.

Although they were young, they knew a lot from their past experiences. Therefore, even though Ryuko's explanation was very euphemistic, they could still tell what Kobayashi and Elsa were doing.

"Kobayashi, are you going to have a baby with her?"

"Is the elder sister going to have a baby?"

The two said in unison.

Although the people asking were different, the meanings they expressed were exactly the same.

Kobayashi was dumbfounded.

Ryuko's explanation was straightforward and there was no problem. It was the little lolita who thought too complicatedly and had problems.

He had to correct her.

"We are really just discussing the problem."

"Really?"

"Really."

Kobayashi nodded solemnly to the suspicious Firut and the puzzled Merry.

"But you haven't separated until now."

"——!!!"

Only then did Kobayashi realize that Elsa had not moved since just now, but instead looked at him with interest, as if looking for his nervous and flustered expression.

I haven't done anything wrong, why are you so nervous?

Xiaolin fought back with his eyes and signaled her to stop making trouble and get up quickly.

The charming Elsa chuckled, touched his waist and abdomen, and then slowly stood up.

Those who didn't know would think that she was flirting, but those who knew knew that the crazy beauty had set her eyes on Xiaolin's intestines.

The two little loli looked at each other and stopped asking.

After that, seeing that the time was almost up, Elsa took them back to the mansion.

Firut, who had already participated in the election, had a lot to learn as a candidate for the king's election. And the existence of Meili was not only her helper, but also her motivation to continue learning, so she also accompanied her to learn knowledge.

In the courtyard, only Xiaolin and Liuzi were left.

Sure enough, it still didn't work.

In her opinion, Elsa agreed to help Firut, which was essentially just an exchange of interests, without any other special feelings.

And what Xiaolin was doing now was to make her have feelings with herself and others and establish a bond.

To heal the pain of the hunter, and for his own great cause.

He looked at the charming woman who was walking towards the mansion with two little girls, swaying like a mother.

"It seems that she still needs to be influenced."

How to influence her?

Of course, it is to influence her with love, otherwise why use a stick?

It's just that if you want to break the barrier of Elsa, you need to do it step by step, and Xiaolin did it.

In the evening.

Reinhard told Xiaolin about the capital.

There was nothing worth noting.

The members of the Knights were not proud of punishing a civilian, but they felt ashamed.

Because Julius was punished.

And——

Emilia did not respond to the previous discussion of cooperation.

Reinhardt asked in confusion: "Did he refuse? Or did he feel it was not formal enough, so he refused?"

"No, I guess Natsuki-kun probably didn't even see Emilia, or he simply didn't have time to say it."

After treating Natsuki Subaru, he left.

What will happen between the two of them later, Kobayashi is not suitable to participate in it, so he took the initiative to make room for them.

Logically speaking, Natsuki Subaru will not fail to tell this. After all, this is very important to Emilia, and the half-elf girl is not a person who pays attention to etiquette.

But there is no reply until now, there must be something wrong.

"What should we do, Kobayashi?"

"There is no other way, we have to take the initiative to go."

The two immediately decided to visit Emilia the next day.

When will the all-Chinese team win the championship?
