Chapter IV.5: The Emilians
As Frederica declared, the departure for the 'Sanctuary' came two days after that.
Frederica teaches Patrash a place to the 'sanctuary' in the stables beside her work at the mansion. Even she's the one in charge of the majority of the mansion's work, so Subaru also suggested that she teach herself where to find the 'sanctuary'.
"I'm sorry, but the 'sanctuary' place is too big for my husband. I can't teach you lightly, let alone in my presence as a servant. Let the dragon teach you this way is something you should avoid."
And, gently, it was turned down.
Though I felt something that didn't fall in my heart, I couldn't even reach the 'sanctuary' to complain to Roswar about its vigilance. I can't do anything more to Subaru than pass Frederica's opinion.
Therefore, Svalbard spent two shabby days in the village of Aram interacting with the villagers and choreographing the mansion back to his position as a servant.
Likewise, free Emilia wouldn't come out. While pointing her lips at the pack, she was spending some time in an effort to fill the distance from the villagers by surprise accompanying Subaru as he descended into the village, and glistening and accumulating knowledge with documents and literature of a kind that Subaru didn't know.
During each of those two days, some changes have taken place.
As one of them, for example.
"Ahhh! Why are you already accumulating clutter like this! Materials that need to be kept, materials that just need to be looked through, materials that are not worth looking through, and things like this because I don't keep them organized...!
Scratching his head and drooling with stupidity, Otto is putting together the material at hand at a stifling speed. If you look down at this and the document, and grasp the general contents, throw it into a large mountain on the desk, and then repeat the sorting similar to the next material.
Svalbard, who cheeks face to face, admires Otto as he looks at his dizzying eye movement and hand movement, his head rotation also turning at a pace that is likely to erupt the fire,
"Ha, wow. I don't care what you write about when you look at the prints in line."
"I didn't even touch the content. I'm purely trying to streamline what I can now process into a book relationship, what I can handle into a petition relationship, and everything else. I mean, I wish I had done so at the time of submission of each document... no, because of this arrangement, it's probably the only legality that the person handling it understands."
Subaru's inspiration is also a breeze where he blows, a face otto fed up looking at the pile of materials. The owner of the dossier in his words - if you think of Roswar's face, I see the theory that Otto spit out as he moaned would be the most targeted.
It's a terrible thing about Roswar, who seems capable of it, so these materials were compiled in his own way. The problem is that it contributes to efficiency that others do not understand, and that in the absence of the person responsible there is nothing else than to recapitulate it from scratch.
"Okay, roughly done splitting. And then rearrange them chronologically… maybe we should subdivide them once before they are processed and waiting to be processed…"
"Nervous or neurotic, Otto is definitely type A."
"What is it, that aegata? Doesn't sound very good, though."
Waving silently at Otto, who sees this one with his eyes, Subaru refuses to explain it. I don't believe in blood type personality diagnosis, but it works there as a story.
By the way, Subaru is a B-shaped family - rather than a B-shaped family with all the vegetables. I don't feel very good because no matter who I tell, they say, "I knew it."
"I mean, I just thought,"
"Oh, my God, don't stop me. It's a good pace, so let's keep going."
"That's okay as far as I'm concerned about efficiency, isn't this situation strange in the first place? Why am I, a businessman, sweating on my forehead in Uncle Neighborhood's office, trying so hard to organize materials? Position, isn't that strange?
"Too late to notice, huh?
Subaru tilts his neck and laughs mean to Otto, who just realizes the truth. This is how Otto chores - it also involves subaru thoughts in the context of his engagement in organizing materials related to his duties as a peripheral uncle rather than a mansion.
That is, securing Emilian personnel in the Roswar camp.
As things stand, from a Subaru perspective, Emilia's position in the king's race is not very good. As her knight, Svalbard, who is perceived by those involved, has played some part, featuring the repelling of witchcraft and the crusade of the white whale, but it is also questionable how far it will work when compared to the poor environment surrounding her.
Emilia, who has already retreated from the starting point compared to each faction. An even more difficult part of that position lies in the lack of sincerity of Roswar, the rear shield. Despite standing up to support her, Roswar's actions to this day have fallen first as a supporter.
This situation, which we are still unable to contact after overcoming those damages, in that measures against witchcraft, which are supposed to happen and should have been taken, were ineffective. I'm no longer a troublemaker on a level where I want it to be clear whether I'm an enemy or an ally.
The habit, many Roswar officials don't touch sincerity by holding their mouths when they do. Roswar supremacist Lamb, as well as Frederica, who has a high sense of work as a service, doesn't break his mouth, keeping his mouth shut against both Subaru and Emilia as far as Pac and Beatrice go.
I mean, there's no one in Emilia right now who can safely discuss things.
Of course, Svalbard wants to be that for her, and she's going to be, but Svalbard's distance is slightly shorter than normal people's. For Subaru, who is unfortunately aware that he is a man out of reach of itching, the inability to wipe Emilia's anxiety completely is a teething word.
So Subaru thought and laid his eyes on Otto, who was walking back and forth from the village of Aram to the Mansion, tongue-in-cheek at the meal and the tea after the meal, and had a relaxed grin: "Oh, it's humans who rot to sit on their hips without purpose in one place like this".
"I mean, if you don't have allies around you, you can grow them later, Operation."
"I thought I made some disturbing remarks, but that's none of my business, isn't it?!?
"I don't know, I guess. Ah, Mr. Otto. I don't have a summary of the paperwork around here yet."
"Oh, excuse me. Er, this is all the Demon Ore mining site and the amount of its reserves...... this is not entirely an outside viewing ban system document!?
"Uh, have you seen it? Did I see that? Uh, yes, yes. Yeah, well, don't worry, I'll tell Roswell I'm gonna tell him."
"It's amazing the other way around that there's absolutely no room for relief!
To Otto, who makes a noise while keeping the documents he is given away from his eyes, Subaru does not disintegrate his bystander position with only a niggling face. Otto shook his lips with dismay at that Subaru attitude,
"No way. Seriously. No defense, you're not trying to erase it by showing me material that outsiders shouldn't see, are you? The price of the negotiations and all that, I'm going to step down."
"There's no way. He said he was going to pay for all your shipments and all the terms of your favor. And on top of that, I'm going to pull you into a deeper position than you can escape."
"Extra bad nature!? Why are you trying to make such a rushing merchant carry such a burden again, don't do it!
Otto protests with such faces as fear. Hearing that, Subaru smacked his head lightly wondering if he was feeling too well, then once he turned off his expression he whined "bad,"
"You felt a little rushed ahead of you. There was no sign that the tangled thread would unwind, as the situation was mixed. I'm sorry I didn't ask for your convenience."
"Oh, no, I'm anxious over here too when I can suddenly calm down like that.... Well, can I ask you something? How could you expect so much from me?
Otto is puzzled by Subaru's sudden attitude of normally getting to the table of stories, but after taking it he speaks out his doubts.
I see from him, dating Subaru was not enough to build trust on the short. No matter, Subaru or hanging out with him is never strong or long.
For a few contacts in the last loop, it's just to the extent that I have a better impression of him than the current otto.
Then why is Subaru so obsessed with Otto,
"When I say blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah I'm not evaluating you personally, and there's a lot of talking to you because the conditions are right."
"That's candid. - I see, is that a condition?"
"Being factionless without anyone's breath in a king-elect relationship. Being sensitive to the damage account and easy to understand the eye of negotiating and drawing into your allies by means. More importantly, I don't see Emilia in the half-elf with a discriminatory eye."
――――
Hearing the three conditions mentioned by Subaru, Otto looks at this one silently.
None of these conditions are negligible in view of the current situation surrounding the Subaru. Subaru had determined that this Otto Suwen, whom he had dealt with so far, had fulfilled those minimum conditions.
Otto remains silent and awaits Subaru's reaction.
Unlike when we were slapping each other on the light mouth earlier, those eyes were swinging to speculate on the inner surface of this one with a sober glow.
It's worth it, I guess. I didn't even hide it. It's obvious that this one took a price step over there first.
"Plus, it's my spotlight."
- Let's hear it.
"I felt like I could do well with you. Honestly, Emilia, I've never crossed the line for more allies, but that's all the more good if the other guy fits me and the horse. Oh, and then you don't have a heterosexual fondness for Emilia Tan. If that happens, even if I have to slay you to be my bamboo horse friend...!
"Are you doomed just because you're in love with an enemy!
"If I had a rival, I'd be willing to win! You, don't lick my lack of confidence in myself, okay? There's only one person in my life who's affirmed me."
Is the breakdown between parents, Rem, Wilhelm, Emilia, conditional and places like Julius and Reinhardt? Thinking about it, at some point one hand is apparently past it.
Can I assume that coming to different worlds and getting that kind of recognition is going a little bit straight myself? I don't think something has changed in sight.
Whatever.
"Oh man, you're the one who doesn't hide the inside of his chest as bright as it is. It's a good duck who gets stuffed at the negotiating table not even doing one of his abdominal arts to the merchant opponent, right?
"If this seat is a negotiating seat, I might have hustled a little, but it's not the merchants and ducks that are here, it's me and you, right? If that's what you were gonna do, I'd change gear and attitude."
"Do you appreciate my part as a merchant and say that? This is exactly what happens when the roots of your tongue don't dry... what's wrong with you?"
Otto spills a sigh after leaving his troubled face, but erasing his earlier tense vigilance from his expression. He glanced at the blatant Subaru,
"What is it to talk about this on this occasion, Mr. Natsuki? It's not big enough for me to tell people, but I have a dream."
"I feel like I've only got two choices: whether it's stupid enough to tell you so much about a man's dream, or stupid enough to have to keep it in my chest or something, but you're gonna let me hear it?
"I don't like the fact that I can agree.... I am, right, the second son of a merchant there. When I was a little girl, I grew up quite wealthy, but when I thought about independence, I was in a position where I couldn't get anything from home."
I don't know how much they have in common with the brotherly circumstances in Subaru's original world, but basically in this world too, the family, the aristocracy, etc. are hereditary - that too, it seems, is still common in the system that the eldest son inherits.
Then Subaru's imaginary medieval fantasy. Nice to meet you, Otto's role as the second son is to be asked to assist or independent the eldest son who inherits the house.
"I learned the basics of commerce while helping my brother run his business and became independent where I made some money on my own. I bought ground dragon full hoo and dragon car in Tsute and it was quite... well, I think it went well there because there was also a" blessing "I was born with."
"Guardianship - and the guardianship of the 'Spirit of the Word'? If you do have protection that you can talk to all kinds of animals, you might be able to make some money depending on your usage."
"It's not as convenient as I say, but hey. I think there are a number of more annoying issues than Mr. Natsuki would imagine. Anyway, that's how I did it for a few years. It was me, but in the meantime, I had this budding dream."
Continuing from the story of the history of independence, Otto brings up the word 'dream', which he touched on earlier. Before the word, for no particular reason, Subaru is in a position to correctly listen to his residence. With that in mind Otto laughed favorably, "It's a common story," he prefaced.
"I don't do business. A merchant is a dream wish for everyone. - I want to take one place, a shop that will be my castle, and continue my business while I stay there. If I could do that in a big town somewhere, it would be a great pleasure to be a merchant."
"That's Otto's, a dream?
"It's a boring wish. Because you go around and you get to the same place where you were born and raised. But if I tell you, that environment is a symbol of good fortune for me."
Otto scratches his cheeks with his fingers as if they stink and speaks quickly to hide his embarrassment. Convinced by that answer of his, Subaru weighs deeply on the chair, wondering if he can get a good color reply though.
but with such a subaru worry, Otto went on to say, "So,"
"You can't miss an opportunity where you might be able to sell favors to a big man like Borderline Uncle, either as the second son of a merchant or as a future big merchant as a pedestrian. Not to mention the fact that the future king might be ahead of the merchandise you sold, isn't that too big a business opportunity to start over in your life?"
"Okay, so that means you'll cooperate. Thank you, I'm glad. I thought you'd say that, Otto. Keep sorting out the materials."
"That!? I just said something nice, didn't I? The reaction is not too thin!?
"If I'm honestly impressed with something and I answer it, I feel like I'm losing... well, either way, if the outsiders see it, I can't let them get away with nothing at the point when I get to the out-of-the-box material. Beginning."
"You're terrible to go around, this guy!
The end point of the long exchange hasn't changed much, and Otto is not rewarded for renewing his determination. With all that otto in his heart, Subaru can't help but be grateful to him. I would never put it in my mouth, though.
"I'm telling you, I'm not like Mr. Natsuki, who takes Emilia's side unconditionally. We're just dating conditionally right now. Assuming there is a factional dispute between Uncle Borderline and Emilia, I will choose the side that will be attached to the damage account at that time. Don't get me wrong I'm on your complete side."
"That's how you put Emilia Tan and Roswar on the scale and it's enough to get me lost. You're my palm. Don't worry, Emilia, I'll teach you how good it is. - You've been listening to me, haven't you?
Take Otto, who makes excuses for how much, and Subaru turns his face and shakes the subject in a different direction from him at the end of the word. Otto looked angrily at Subaru's conduct and looked ahead so that Subaru's gaze could follow him. There,
"Yeah...... not, yes. Well heard, Master Subaru."
and a girlfriend stood smiling with an adorable face and shaking her chestnut hair.
Changes in the mansion over the past two days, the second.
It was she - Petra Reite - who herself jumped down to the village of Aram and raised her hands where she recruited collaborators, realizing that physical impossibility had arisen in maintaining the mansion with one Frederica (who also helped Subaru, but whose abilities as a servant had not recovered and cut off on top of half a serving).
She was a villager in the village of Aram and also an evacuee on the Wang Du side, she had returned safely to the village and should have had an uneasy time in the village where more than half of the villagers still did not return.
It is, but it immediately devours the newspaper of Frederica's recruiting for a new maid of honor, and enters the mansion as a temporary employment for now because of its motivation and the absence of any other candidates.
"You're still small, but it's great to be a maid away from your parents, Petra is"
"I'm twelve now, so I'm a fine adult who can work... not an adult. Subaru, please treat me as an adult."
"I'll think about how to treat the salutation and if Frederica tells you all about the exemption and I can take the temporary maid. Until then, you will always be lovely to me."
When I brutally stroke the head of a girl who moves around a little bit, the girl who gets her groomed hair messed up sticks with me as I say "Yikes." Somehow it's a different reaction than I imagined, but it would be a much better response than being cursed and spit on.
Together, in his fashionable and wanting years, Petra's aptitude as a maid of honor is surprisingly solid sexual roots and how she is raised. Although there are many points that have not yet been reached, you can decide that they are already above Subaru, including following Frederica, when it comes to cleaning, preparing meals, etc. Subaru Seriously useless.
That's how she listened to the inside conversation from outside the office door. Regardless of Subaru's instructions, it is a formula that invites Otto's inadvertent remarks to block the escape route.
Otto noticed it turned red and stared at Subaru,
"was, was it -!?"
"I don't even care enough about that. With a third party in between, what you said earlier was just recorded as official, both in fame. Tearful work to secure the jury's heart... think of it that way"
"What makes you cry about people who say craft?!?
With his head in his arms, Otto yells with half a cry but is already slow, finally understanding that there is no longer a way out. I chuckled at that otto, then Subaru thumbed up at Petra standing at the door.
"Nice job, Petra. But wouldn't Frederica be mad at me for spending my time on this?
"This is my time. I'm cleaning the hallway. It's your time. Taking more time than usual, cleaning the hallway in front of the lord's room won't piss you off"
"I'm being neat. You mean a girl is a woman even if she's small..."
Receiving only the last part of the emotional Subaru's words, Petra cheeks loose with joy. It was also true that there was a part of that unchanging reaction and attitude of hers that would be saved.
Petra is also a collaborator not under Roswar's influence, as is Otto.
There is less Petra can do against Emilia as a supporter than Otto, and the influence of her presence may be inferior to Subaru's. But she's not afraid of Emilia. Subaru has not forgotten that she treated Emilia head-on on the road to evacuation to the Wang capital. I'm sure that's probably the same for Emilia.
Its mere existence must also save Emilia.
"I've never crossed it with many allies. It's not a question of what you can do. It's important to know what you want to do for that person and what you can do. In the first place, if I talk about the number of things I can do, it's gonna be terrible for me."
Advantages and disadvantages, it is where Subaru is also aware that the disadvantages prevail if you count the fingerfolds. Still, I want to be on her side, so I'm going to have to play around with something that I'm not using.
Reopen, if you say so, for undeniably pleasant calculations.
"It's still definitely small, but let's do our best from here on out. This is our early Emilian member."
Make a clench and stick it out, Subaru declares.
Take that, and leave me, Otto and Petra, and look at each other in the face,
"I didn't say a word about joining that faction, did I? Don't get me wrong, do you?
"I want to be on your sister's side, but I don't want to lose to your sister when it matters..."
In the way Otto scratched his head and freaked out. Petra pulls her hands together behind her back and squeals each as she pulls her face down.
It's just, still, at the end of the day, around hanging out with me to poke my fists at each other, there was no question about the goodness of their people.
- Thus, in the two days leading up to the 'sanctuary', only a few steps forward, time passed while making Subaru feel certain.
