Chapter 247 I, Natsuki Subaru, have a dream

"Your Excellency Natsuki Subaru."

When an unqualified person suddenly broke into the lively banquet, even the well-mannered Crusch was a little angry. She even changed the way she addressed Natsuki Subaru from 'Subaru' to his full name.

"——Even if you are a distinguished guest, you cannot barge into a meeting without permission. I hope you can be a little more careful."

“Alright, alright, Master Crusch. Subaru must be worried about something. He’s sweating profusely. I’m sorry, but little Felice probably didn’t learn the skill well enough. Is there any pain anywhere else?”

The cat boy walked towards Natsuki Subaru with a smile on his face, and stroked his cheek to wipe away his frown.

Seeing the man’s grim expression, Crusch didn’t blame him, but—

"Natsuki Subaru, allow me to correct one thing. Treating you as guests seems to have caused misunderstandings. I apologize for this. To be more precise, I..."

“They don’t treat us as enemies, but Emilia-tan is already a political enemy to you, Crusch, right?”

"what?"

Natsuki Subaru's words left the three people in the guest room speechless for a moment.

To be honest, although they treated the man in front of them with kindness and friendliness for various reasons, they really didn't think that a reckless person who yelled at the king selection ceremony would have political acumen, and that he would grow so quickly in just a few days.

“I understand. Crusch is trying to say that he is so kind to me because he signed a contract with Emilia. That’s why we are so kind to each other. Our competition has not changed. I understand. I am deeply sorry for barging into your meeting. I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”

The man bowed decisively and apologized loudly.

“Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is going on, meow? Are you really Subaru? By the way, could it be that someone has switched you out?”

Phyllis teased, exploring his body.

correct.

It's Natsuki Subaru himself.

Crusch got the hint from the cat man, and she closed one eye helplessly and said: "Subaru has already apologized, I can't be so petty, right?"

Apparently, he forgave Natsuki Subaru's rude behavior and changed his address back to 'Subaru'.

"Thank you so much. To be honest, if you guys punish me, I really don't know what to do."

Natsuki Subaru suddenly relaxed and said this in a frivolous tone.

I thought he was so respectful because he had found out his identity and position, but it seems that nothing has changed. Was what just happened an illusion?
Do not……

Zun Zun found that the man had been staring at him.

"I say, Zun Zun, who am I?"

"…Is your brain broken?"

"Never mind. Just tell me. Who am I?"

Natsuki Subaru's eyes revealed anxiety, the look of fear that he would not get the desired result. Zun Zun seemed to realize something.

"You are Natsuki Subaru, my fellow countryman."

Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru's face turned from gloomy to bright. But -

"You are still a fool who has no skin, is shameless, careless and has no boundaries, always causing trouble without considering other people's opinions, and even doesn't care about your own life. Oh, I forgot, you are still an incurable bootlicker."

"That's called affection! I'm devoted to Emilia-tan!"

Natsuki Subaru was so angry that he jumped up and down, but soon he let out a long sigh of relief: "It's so nice to hear your sharp tongue as always. Thank you, Zunzun."

“…Subaru, are you Duem?”

"Maybe. I don't know if I have awakened. But I know that if I don't have someone to push me, I really won't go far."

"You are quite self-aware."

Zun Zun thought he would loudly refute, but unexpectedly he just admitted it, which made the cat man tease him.

Then Natsuki Subaru suddenly posed in a JOJO style and shouted: "I, Natsuki Subaru, have a dream, that is to become a superstar in the kingdom!"

"That's enough. What the hell are you doing? And shouldn't you be pointing your hips to the sky? This position doesn't suit you!"

Zun Zun couldn't hold it anymore.

Natsuki Subaru grinned, "Ah, I just wanted to change my mood."

This guy has been doing all this mess since just now. Zun Zun has guessed that he has probably experienced death and rebirth many times, but to people who don't know, his behavior is really abrupt and makes people feel a huge contrast.

He was wrong, completely wrong.

In terms of contrast, Natsuki Subaru is the strongest, he's just not cute at all.

“Okay, enough of the fun.” Crusch crossed his arms, tilted his head to examine the uninvited guest who had recklessly barged into the room, and asked, “Subaru, you rushed in so hastily. It must be because you are not crazy but because of something important, right?”

"Ah, it's something very important."

"Tell me what you think. If it makes sense, I can forgive your rudeness, Subaru."

Natsuki Subaru nodded seriously, then looked at his fellow countryman with red face and black hair on the other side.

"Zun Zun, please stay for dinner."

"……what?"

"I said, why don't you stay and have dinner with us."

Seeing him barging in despite being driven away and looking so serious, I thought he would say something earth-shattering, but I didn't expect that he just wanted to keep Zun Zun for dinner.

"Okay, Ferris, bring me my sword, I'm going to kill Natsuki Subaru now!" "Okay, Master Crusch!"

"Hey, wait a minute, I'm serious!"

"Sure enough, just chop him without using a sword!"

Crusch was angry and pretended to attack, while Natsuki Subaru cried and begged for mercy, and the cat man watched the show with a smile.

Zun Zun said he deserved it.

Although Natsuki Subaru's idea of wanting me to stay was pure, using such a cliché excuse would of course make people angry.

However, after Subaru expressed his desire to invite Zun-Zun to stay for the dinner, Zun-Zun gave up the idea of leaving Subaru's mansion as soon as possible to catch up with Reinhard and the others who were leaving.

And Natsuki Subaru said something strange.

——Zun Zun, you have to thank me.

During the break, Zun Zun asked Fram a question: "If I want to go to the Astraea territory, will I pass by the Flyugail tree on the way?"

“The Sage’s Tree? Yes, since we are chasing after Master Reinhard and Master Felt, we will pass by there according to the planned route.”

"……I see."

The words slowly fell with a slight sigh, and the room returned to silence again.

until evening.

The dinner prepared by a respected person should have been very grand, but because of someone's conspiracy, not only was his banquet cancelled, but the dinner time was also delayed.

"I can finally understand why we're gathering here after delaying dinner time."

Crusch, who was sitting on the main sofa with his hands crossed on his legs, broke the silence, and a look of understanding appeared on his stern face.

"Is that right?"

The cat man's playful voice sounded, "To be honest, little Phyllis is still skeptical. Such a timid man suddenly became so decisive and tough. No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong."

Even though his tone and expression were pretending to be frivolous, the look he gave Natsuki Subaru was faintly defensive, and he was obviously wary of Natsuki Subaru doing something wrong.

Wilhelm, who was standing behind Crusch, had the same expression, his sharp eyes fixed on him, as if he was scanning for some flaws.

If Zun Zun hadn't put his arm around Natsuki Subaru's shoulders, he would have definitely surrendered with a sad face and raised his hands.

"Don't say that. Subaru must have his own ideas, right?"

“I was really surprised by Natsuki Subaru. Even though I just came to visit Master Crusch, you seemed to have expected it. You are not an ordinary person.”

It was Russell who spoke.

He is a representative of the Commercial Union who holds great influence in the capital. He has dull blond hair and a neat goatee. Although he looks like a gentle and elegant middle-aged man, there is no smile in his eyes.

After all, his whereabouts were known to others, and he was a businessman, which meant that there must be spies from the other side on our side.

However, what Russell didn't know was that Subaru Natsuki was able to know his whereabouts using an even more bizarre method.

Russell's words that seemed to be intended to divert attention were blocked by Natsuki Subaru with a relaxed shrug.

"Sorry, Rem is going to call someone else over now. Please wait a moment. I'm not sure if the other person will come... but the probability is very high."

"I have been waiting for you for a long time. May I ask for your basis for your affirmation?"

Even in the face of Natsuki Subaru's pretentious remarks, Russell's response did not show any compromise.

Regarding the businessman who crushed him in all aspects, Natsuki Subaru raised his lips and said a little presumptuously: "It's very simple. She is very sensitive to the smell of money - she said so herself. If it is true, then she will definitely show her face. Mr. Russell is the same, right?"

"Ouch, I got poked in the foot."

Russell put his hand to his forehead and smiled bitterly.

He seemed to want to say that his intentions were seen through, but Natsuki Subaru seemed not to listen to the lies in his words at all, and spoke again on his own.

"Actually this time it's not money, but something else. Although it hasn't been confirmed last time, I don't think she will refuse."

After saying that, he looked at Zun Zun.

Ok? ? ?
Just when Zun Zun was confused and wondering what he had to do with this, the door of the reception room happened to be opened, and a girl, Rem, appeared.

Under the gaze of everyone, she took small steps and quickly ran behind Natsuki Subaru, leaning close to his ear and whispered.

"She'll be here soon. Just as Subaru said, she came running over without stopping when she heard that the Lord is here."

"That's it."

The corners of Natsuki Subaru's mouth curled up wildly, and that smile of [Plan Pass.JPG] made Zun Zun feel extremely uneasy.

“Subaru, I seemed to hear my own name just now…”

"Zun Zun, this is the first time I feel that the beauty trap can go so smoothly! I'm really sorry for taking advantage of you, but what I said before was also true. Just consider it as your return gift!"

“Hey, you’re not…!”

Zun Zun widened his eyes. He found that Natsuki Subaru seemed to be using him to fish and even caught a big fish!
"it is good!"

Natsuki Subaru slammed the table hard, stood up suddenly and said to everyone in the room: "The last participant said that he would be late, but the main members are all here. I am really sorry to keep you waiting any longer. Let's start the meeting now!"

His voice trembled slightly, but he still spoke firmly.
