Chapter 9: Some Things You Can't Avoid

Elsa "bow hunter" Granheart

- Reinhard Van Astrea of the ranks of swordsmen -

It's too epic! Watching it live made it at least 100 times better.

The presence of Reinhard's sword filled the room, and the enmity between Reinhard and Elsa was so heavy that it could be felt in the air.

In this shattered place stood a black-clothed assassin and a light-armored hero, and what stumbled upon the bloodstained legendary sword blade. After announcing their names, the two of them would try and end the battle at once. I felt it was straight from the epic tale of heroism.

Well...at least being a part of history is considered as something, right?

A few seconds later, a bright light shattered the roof of the house and penetrated it, dividing the entire space into two halves.

In this bright light, even I felt that the entire world was changing and everything turned white in an instant. As the light disappears, the world undergoes another sudden change as the displaced space tries to return to its original place.

The air distorted as the residual attack waves engulfed the room and caused a gust of strong wind, spinning back towards the center of the room. Along with that, the stolen items, furniture, and even materials from the building structure itself are discarded.

I immediately stood in front of Emilia to protect her.

[Congratulations, you have received +7 points of affection for heroine Emilia]

That's more than I thought...

"Master swordsman" swung his sword with all his might. A one-time. Only once and that's the result.

Someday... I will reach this level, and when I am at the top, we will have the most powerful battle between rivals that readers will see, just wait.

Eventually the storm lost its strength, and some objects fell to the ground as a sign of doomsday, in addition to the building's chorus of dry and creaking.

- Reinhard, that's awesome!-

"It's okay Subaru, I still have room for improvement"

This guy is so cool.

"Don't underestimate yourself, Reinhard, for me you're the best man I've ever seen."

“Thank you, Subaru.”

Reinhard only scratched his cheek while smiling politely.

After all this, even Reinhard was sweating on his face, and in his hands ...

sorry to push you so hard. Happy resting

.., sword, my loyal friend, is a mess. To think that such a well-made sword could not withstand Reinhard's swing. I expected this from the old sword, but my loyal friend is still in perfect condition...

Better not to cry, we will meet again, my loyal friend, I hope you stay in heaven. So before I see Reinhard again, I have to pray.

And for Elsa...

Wait for... Elsa didn't fail because of Reinhard's attack, which means...

"Reinhard, that Elsa woman has vampire feelings, we better not let our guard down until a few minutes have passed."

After he finished saying this, Reinhard immediately raised his vigilance, making a quick gesture of thanks to me.

After a moment of silence, Elsa did not come out.

I decided to relax a bit, turning my gaze towards Reinhard before tilting 90 degrees.

come to think of it, Reinhard, I haven't thanked you yet. You really saved us. And what happened in the alley, did you hear the screams of my heart or something, man?-

I knew that my dearest Felt had found Reinhard, but in order not to look too suspicious, I decided to pretend to be stupid.

"Well, I would definitely be proud of myself if I could do that, pal," Reinhard repeated, relaxing his shoulders as if to regret it. Raising his chin, he pointed to the exit.

"Oh, hey," I said with a smile as I managed to see the man there, relieved that he was fine.

At the entrance of the house, which at this moment was quite shattered, stood a little blonde girl with dog teeth sticking out of her mouth, hiding in the shadow of one of the few pillars still standing.

- This girl desperately ran down the street, where she asked for my help. One of the reasons I came was for him and his slum warning, thanks to Subaru for helping protect this kingdom-this

*Sighs in relief before replying.*

- A flattering old building is part of your job description? -

Reinhard answered with another question.

“Don't you think it's a little rough, Subaru?” Reinhardt said with a grimace and placed his hand on his chest.

“Cause Reinhard, it's just a joke to melt the atmosphere, after all we are friends, right?”

Reinhard seemed to understand this and just laughed softly, seriously.

- He .. -

Emilia, still trying to straighten out her position, Felt noticed.

The blonde girl slightly flinched when she saw Emilia's appearance, I stepped towards Felt before raising my hand and caressing her head.

"Don't worry, Emilia-sama won't do anything to you."

Feeling a little embarrassed when she was caressed, it was great if you asked me.

Emilia, realizing that she had been removed from this act, only slightly coughed to regain our attention.

Emilia thought she thought for a moment before making a decision.

- Call me Emilia, it's okay, release the certificate of honor

- I think it's okay., Emilia.

[congratulations, you got +6 points of attachment to heroine Emilia]

- ...-self-eh ..? -

- Muuu.

Emilia just puffed her cheeks a little, but in my opinion, this is one of the best frowns I've ever seen.

Reinhard, who had noticed my antics, smiled. Before he walked towards me, it seemed like I wanted to say something.

His expression changed from a smile to an expression of worry.

- Subaru!-

I turned towards Reinhard before I realized the situation, but it was too late.

Shards of buildings were thrown out, and a black shadow was slapped underneath. The black shadow, with black hair fluttering behind him and dripping blood, firmly struck the ground and accelerated. Grabbing her sword, Elsa ran towards me.

-¡!-

After somehow surviving Reinhard's incredible punch, Elsa's killer eyes are filled with darkness. The killing intent and the touch of desire that was in his eyes gave me goosebumps.. I knew what her goal was, she just needed to push Emilia away by taking a few steps back and dodging Elsa's blade.

I rushed towards Emilia with all my might.

[Events activated, protect the girl!]

I pushed Emilia out of Elsa's reach and took a step back.

The horizontal cut does not look like an incision and is more like being hit with a heavy object. The force of the wound caused him to shoot backwards.

I tried to stand up, but the power of the punch left me a little surprised.

"That's it," Elsa spat, watching me fly.

enough, Elsa!-

When Reinhard came running, Elsa realized that there was no way to continue the fight, I threw my sword at Reinhard. His aim failed, but his shot managed to distract Reinhard from him, and that was enough.

"I'm going to open everyone's stomach here one day, so keep your intestines up until then" he shouted, using part of the collapsed building to jump onto the roof.

It seemed like there was no time to follow him as he jumped from roof to roof, fleeing.

Reinhard, who had no interest in pursuing this fight any further, did not pursue it.

are you okay?-

- I'm very good! You didn't see? Rather than worry about me, you should worry about.” Emilia shouted before throwing herself against the wall with an unstable beam, where a part of her collapsed.

- Are you okay? What are you thinking?-

"Ugh... Oh... It's okay, as long as you're okay, I think it's worth it" I said, raising my hand to Emilia and using the others to try to sit down.

[Congratulations, you have received +15 points of affection for heroine Emilia]

Sorry, Subaru.

don't think too much about it, Reinhard, we're still friends.

"I'm glad you're okay" I told Reinhard.

Before I could try to get up, the yellow dot jumped towards me.

- What are you thinking? Idiot?” Felt shouted, hugged me and whimpered in his chest.

- Sorry, Felt. "I shouldn't have bothered you" I said, trying to comfort Felt.

A minute and a few seconds passed, Felt calmed down and helped me stand up.

"I'm surprised you're okay, Subaru."

Hearing such a familiar sentence, I felt that something was amiss, I suddenly felt something liquid running down my stomach.

Oh naw...

“ahhhh...” A strong pain ran through my stomach as I felt blood pouring from the wound.

The last thing I could see was the stunned faces of Felt and Emilia. And Reinhard's voice shouted at Subaru.

.. while I have the following thoughts ...

"It seems like there are some things that can't be changed at all"

.., then I feel nothing.

.

He could not avoid strong feelings of regret, and this burden could not be reduced with just words.

- ...Exceptionally well. That's enough.” A voice that sounded like a silver bell rang out in my ear as guilt killed me.

- is everything okay? Is something bad going to happen to her?” The young but worried voice, the perfect portrayal of the blonde haired girl, the worry in her voice made my stomach feel very heavy.

I'm done taking care of her. Nothing bad might happen to her, I'll take her with me to make sure

After a few seconds, I decided to speak.

- Glad to hear this. - Now it's over, Miss Emilia.

I said, approaching Miss Amelia, kneeling down and bowing my head.

- Because of my delay, I caused him trouble. I'm willing to accept any punishment you deem necessary for my actions

As a gentleman, this is the most sincere way to apologize. No matter what punishment was inflicted on me, I would accept it without complaining.

"You don't need to apologize to me, you've saved us," Miss Emilia stopped, "I don't think your friend will agree with what you're doing now," she said as she pointed towards Subaru.

"I'll probably tell you that you have a stick in your ass" said the blonde jokingly, trying to hide her pain.

- Understands. "Thank you for your kind words" I said bowing to show him my respect.

Miss Emilia noticed something.

“I just remembered that I'm talking about how you saved us, but.... how and why did you come here?” Lady Emilia suddenly asked.

- Today is my day off, I was walking around when I heard someone asking for help, it was Subaru, he told me that he was worried about a friend in the slums, he said, because he heard rumors about offal hunters wandering in these places, I said as I pointed at Subaru, answering the question.

It all started when I met Subaru in this alley. After a few hours, I decided that I would fulfill my promise with him and go to the slums.

- Then I found the girl who was there, and you already know the rest

- Yes, this girl.

now that the blonde-haired girl had returned to the topic, Lady Emilia turned her gaze to Ella.

The blonde-haired girl felt her gaze and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Miss Emilia, who is this girl?"

reinhard, I appreciate your help and I appreciate that you saved us. However, I beg you..I must ask you not to interfere from here,” Lady Emilia said in a harsh tone, and that was enough to prevent her from pushing any further.

Lady Emilia closed her eyes, trying to figure out a way to talk to the blonde girl. Looking at her beautiful face, she sighed.

The old man, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"Felt will return everything he stole and we will avoid further trouble."

Felt seemed to worry Subaru more than himself.

- Sorry. I will return what I stole

The girl reached into her pocket until she saw something and turned to look at me.

hey, you're an idiot friend, right?

Pointing my finger at Subaru, I can only nod.}

can you tell me his name? -

The question seemed too sincere to divert attention, the gaze the blonde girl gave Subaru was full of caresses and tenderness.

his name is Subaru Natsuki

“...Subaru..Natsuki..” Feeling thought of something before nodding with a smile.

- Well, take your badge, - the girl took out a small object from her pocket, in her hand she had the badge that all the candidates for the throne had, the middle of the cross seemed to glow red ....

Wait for...

He immediately grabbed the blonde girl's hand, still clasping the locket.

The two girls looked at me in surprise, but when they saw my serious expression, both of them fell silent.

"I-it hurts.let me go.." said the girl, trying to fight back.

"I don't think so." I muttered as my voice trembled.

Hearing my words, Miss Emilia replied with trembling eyes.

- Wait, Reinhardt. I understood it was difficult to let go without asking for anything, but he did not understand the value of the badge, and other than that, I did not blame him for it. It was my fault that I let him steal the badge in the first place.

you're wrong, Miss Emily. "I have no problem with that," I said in a slightly forced tone.

Shamed, Lady Emilia remained silent.

After a few seconds, noticing the girl, I started talking.

-

what's your last name?

How old are you?-

I'm an orphan, okay? I have no last name, and... I think I'm about 15 years old. I don't know my own birthday. But that's enough. Let go of me!—

When the girl said this word, to me it seemed like she regained her composure and tried to break away from my clutches.

- Will you come with me. I'm sorry but I can't let you refuse

... - Are you crazy? Just because you saved me doesn't mean...

Sorry Subaru, but this is important. The next moment, I began to drain all of the girl's prana.

After giving the badge to Lady Emilia, I decided that the less time passed, the better.

With a girl in my hand, I looked up at the sky, through the twilight of the capital, at the moon.

It was a full moon that shone with a white light, and its beauty was attractive and charming.

“Maybe this is the last time I see the Moon and feel calm.” I said with my only confidant, Beautiful Moon.

The scene ends, but the game is still going on.
