DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

Roswaal ignored all the gazes that were gathering around him and explained with a shrug:

"This is all part of the necessary plan to get Emily to the throne... Ah... Oh."

"Make Emilia's Royal Selection Badge disappear, find the last candidate for Royal Selection, and successfully trigger the meeting at this time."

"The fact is that the formal royal selection will begin soon."

Parker's gaze sharpened: "That doesn't necessarily mean we have to kill Emilia."

Roswaal shrugs:

"I only sent people to steal the badges, with the condition that no unrelated personnel should know about this."

"If Lady Emilia can't find that thief, the badge will eventually end up in my hands. Speaking of which, it was Subaru-kun over there who led Emilia into this dangerous situation."

Emilia stroked her chin: "Indeed, I only lost my badge."

Natsuki Subaru was furious: "What? The fact is that your assassin almost killed Emilia, but now you're blaming me for saving Emilia."

With a few casual words, Roswaal turned the tables on Subaru Natsuki.

They even turned around and accused the perpetrator.

But things have come full circle.

Subaru Natsuki's identity is far too suspicious.

Because of the cycle of reincarnation, Subaru Natsuki directly approached Emilia this time, saying he wanted to help her. Although in the end, Shaka, summoned by Subaru, successfully prevented the tragedy, it still felt like a deliberately scripted scenario.

A massive wave of malice gradually enveloped Subaru Natsuki.

At this time...

"I believe Subaru is not a bad person."

Emilia stated frankly in her defense: "Ultimately, he saved me, that's a given fact. I have no doubt about my savior."

"Emilia-tan~~ My darling angel!~" Natsuki Subaru's heart fluttered.

Parker added, "I'm on Leah's side."

Xia Jia was also very impressed.

This kid is so kind... He's starting to understand Parker's feelings. Damn it, he doesn't even feel a little jealous.

Regardless, Roswaal's self-destruction, while successfully mitigating his crime and barely covering up the incident, also allowed Emilia to continue relying on Roswaal for the royal selection, so she acted as if nothing had happened.

But in Puck and Emilia's eyes, the seed of wariness towards Roswaal had been planted, which also made them somewhat wary of Ram and Rem.

Shaka was also certain that, at least while he was still at the mansion, this person wouldn't cause any trouble.

Maintaining this level for now is fine.

As for what happens next...

'Let me see what you'll do after reading that book, Mr. Marionette.'

A less-than-pleasant breakfast has come to an end.

Emilia also took the opportunity to ask Subaru Natsuki what he wanted as a thank you gift for his help in the royal capital.

Subaru Natsuki naturally chose to stay and become a servant.

After all, the people here are all treacherous, and he must keep a close watch on Emilia to prevent her from being harmed by bad people.

At least, if I'm there when they're cooking, it will make them hesitant to poison me.

Meanwhile, Rem and Ram were showing Subaru the manor around.

Roswaal found Shaga.

"Hey, Xia-kun, can you tell me why you did this? Is it to make the Astrea family replace me as Emilia's pillar, or...?"

Shaka sat on the sofa, looking up at Roswaal:

"Didn't Emilia tell you? I've already agreed to become her knight, as for taking your place..."

Xia Jia raised the corners of her mouth: "Didn't your book tell you that? Sorry, but I think I'm also one of the candidates for the royal selection!"

"Nani?!" Roswaal's jaw dropped in astonishment.

Chapter 571 Kidnapping Emilia

"I think I'm also a potential candidate for the throne."

Shaga said calmly.

"No, isn't the Dragon Priestess the Queen's candidate?"

Roswaal's gaze sharpened. Could it be that he was old and his eyes were failing him, or that his skill was too great for him to recognize?

I never expected this. So it turns out only a pervert like me would be androgynous. You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also quite the ladies' man...

"I'm starting to like you a little." Roswaal licked his lips, put his arm around Shaka's shoulder, seemingly completely forgetting past grievances.

Xia Jia was taken aback. "No, why did your attitude change so quickly? And what's with your hand? You can put your arm around my shoulder, but why are you touching me?"

Xia Jia jumped up and quickly stood to the side.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"No, I just thought it was interesting. Well then, let's call it a day. Boys."

Roswaal strode off, winked at Shaka, and turned to leave.

Xia Jia shivered with disgust.

"Ugh, I'd better stay away from this guy, he's a real pervert."

……

Having temporarily ended the mission at the mansion, Shaka took Elsa to a room to imprison her.

"You've achieved your goal, haven't you? Are you finally ready to kill me?" Elsa raised her head and looked at the man who could restrain her at will.

Shaga shook his head: "No, your role is not just that."

"Not going to kill me?" Elsa sneered. "If you let me escape again, you'll regret it."

"Then let's see what you can do."

Close the door.

Xia Jia glanced at Kato Megumi, who was dressed in a maid outfit, beside her.

"Thank you for your help. Just take a little time to look after her."

"It's alright. I can ask Miss Elsa for some tips on cutting intestines. Maybe I'll need them someday."

Kato Megumi tapped her chin with her index finger.

"No, where do you plan to use it later?" Xia Jia said irritably.

"Who knows? For example, you could try it when the wife is busy with work and the husband is secretly having an affair." Kato Megumi looked at Natsuka with a smile.

cough cough...

"I'm busy with work too."

"Huh? I didn't mean you, Xiao Jia."

"Yes, I'll go find Kanna right away," Shaka vowed.

Xia Jia shrank back a few steps, then quickly ran away, feeling that if he stayed any longer, he might lose his kidneys.

Perfect timing! There's still plenty of time before the King's Selection begins. If Subaru Natsuki dies a few more times during this period, it will take even longer. I can use this time to find Kanna.

As for leaving Elsa behind... with the others, that's a variable Shaka left for Roswaal. As long as Shaka himself doesn't know what he wants to do, Roswaal's Gospels cannot predict the true future.

As Shaka walked through the long corridor, he passed a study and saw Emilia engrossed in reading.

She glanced out the window every now and then, then fiddled with her fingers, and finally tapped her quill pen, seemingly lost in thought.

Xia Jia knocked on the wide-open door and went inside:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uneasy because I exposed Roswaal's plot?"

"Shaga?" Emilia looked up, saw Shaga, and gave a wry smile:

"A little bit."

It's never a good feeling to be betrayed by someone you trust. Just now, Roswaal also laid his cards on the table with Emilia.

"I will stop at nothing to help Emilia become queen, and then I will kill the dragon."

After hearing the news, Emilia became distracted.

The two sides went from being trusted allies to engaging in an exchange of interests, which made their relationship somewhat brutal.

However, there's nothing we can do about it. It's better than being insincere and putting on an act.

"Aren't you upset that I acted on my own? I should have discussed it with you first before taking any action." Xia Jia sat on the table.

"No, I know you're doing this for my own good, Shaka."

Tsk, they don't even call him Xiao Jia anymore.
