Chapter 25: Interlude 1 - Brake

Pov - (Brake)

At first I was hesitant with Natsuki Subaru, of course he was very helpful. I can see that he is a good guy, a little bit strange, but he is still good. The only thing that bothers me is the smell of a witch, such a smell is rather weak for someone who deals with this cult every day.

That Lady Beatrice fell in love with him is a good thing.

The day after my arrival, everything was fine until Lady Emilia appeared with a worried face, asking if we had seen her, only to have her show her presence next to Lady Beatrice at breakfast.

Seeing her, inevitably I feel connected to her in some way. He then started talking about his history, saying that he was a chef and also left his native village and practiced sword arts.

His divine protection of the Wind Goddess could be very useful depending on the situation, and the depth of his prana pond was huge, as well as his posture saying that he was ready to defend the residence at that very instant. These qualities make him a good candidate for the role of bodyguard.

"Don't worry, I'll cook something that will make you feel better."

He comforted me when I was too angry, saying that he would prepare a plate of food that would make me happy, so from then on my interest shifted from caution to strangers.

He could not let go of his culinary skills, he could sense that it was another world, almost divine. It's like I'm standing in front of the kitchen god.

When I saw Lady Beatrice's reaction, I couldn't help but feel silly looking at her.

Then I came back the next day.

I felt someone knock on the door when I spoke to him.

It was Subaru Natsuki, wearing a servant's outfit. As we greeted the black-haired young man, I sketched out a smile that was too sincere to fake. He said he was excited to start. It impressed me, he was really determined.

Then he said that he wanted to go to the village to get to know the area better.

Subaru-san said that she would not cook without seasoning. For a moment I was just worried about Nee saying that everything was fine. The next thing we did was breakfast and dinner.

It must be emphasized that the food, like the first time I ate it, was delicious. Time to go to the village.

We entered the village and I could see Subaru-san being cornered by the children, I found this situation very amusing.

After the purchase, nee tells Subaru-San that he needs to load one barrel. I could see that Subaru-san was a technical person, because if he relied on strength, he would not do much.

We arrived at the mansion and I decided to give Subaru-san a break by bringing a barrel to the mansion. Inside, I met Lord Roswaal, who said that he also needed to talk to her.

After I followed him, I called him, saying that Lord Roswaal was waiting for us.

Roswaal gave us instructions, we answered his orders seriously, but he...

“Sorry, I'm not loyal enough to swear to protect this mansion. But I promised to protect Miss Emilia with my life, so don't worry, Lord Mathers. I'm protecting Miss Emilia-

When she said that, I could only feel my chest slightly tight, I had never felt this strange feeling before.

We split the responsibility between the third and the left.

After that, Subaru-san ran around the mansion, shouting that she needs to talk about something important.

When I reached the lobby, I found Beatrice talking to Subaru-san, they were not paying attention to me, so I decided to spy on their conversation.

the time is short, so I'm going down to business. I started to feel weird when I went to do my homework, so I went to Betty's to see if there was anything wrong with me. He said he was cursed. Remember that dog that the blue haired girl brought? This dog bit me. And when she asks Betty to break the curse, black smoke comes out of her bite. So it's time for me to go.-

This idiot is planning to die... I don't know when, but my body moved to stop him, grabbing his arm to stop his movement.

Sorry, Subaru. But I can't let you go alone, it's almost suicidal with your strength. “I don't know why, but I started calling him by his first name—nee-sama, let me accompany Subaru to the village.” If what you say is true, then we might face an attack on the mansion."

Nee thought a little before giving the green light. As soon as we left, a voice sounded from the stairs.

It was Lady Emilia who looked a little embarrassed. Subaru stopped to talk to her, the moment I saw the two of them, the feeling in my chest returned.

Subaru ended his conversation with Miss Emilia and prepared to leave.

“Please, Brake, keep him so Subaru doesn't do reckless things.”

Lady Emilia looked at me pleading, seeing that she was very worried, I could not refuse her request.

- Understood, I'll do it.-

I leaned over and walked out the door.

“I swear I will save them..” whispered Subaru.

The road to the village was rather busy, Subaru felt like it would collapse at any moment.

When we arrived in Irlam, we were greeted by a village boy who told us that some children were missing. Subaru's face frowned when he heard it.

He told us how on his way he met an ex-soldier who warned him about the murderous organization in Gusteco, as well as a duck cock innards hunter and a girl with the ability to control mabestia.

After which he had the young man go and warn the others, he also gave some instructions before he left.

The barrier was broken, which meant the mabestians could enter...

I want you to drive me to the woods to see if we can get the kids back. I can't do it, you know my strength is zero

Then he turned around and walked towards the forest...

- Subaru!

the kids are there. I have to save them.-

After that, I tried to convince him not to leave, a few words before the question came out of my mouth.

What is your relationship with people...

After asking her, Subaru froze for a moment before turning around and smiling.

"I swear I'll save them!"

And run to the woods...

I was silent for a few seconds, this smile, the sparkle in my eyes and my screams made me understand something.

The reason I'm so worried about him...

maybe I'm in love with a fool...

With a smile on my face, I ran into the forest, towards the smell of the witch on Subaru's body.

Just wait for me, you fool.
