Reinhardt looked at Yang Tao seriously; he hadn't figured out how Yang Tao had done it.
The slight vibration of the longsword at his waist told him that this was an opponent worthy of his full effort.
However, Yang Tao completely ignored the fighting intent in his eyes and pointed at Felt with a smile, saying, "Her true identity is a member of the former royal family who was abducted when she was young, and she also has the qualifications to participate in the Royal Selection…"
With a flick of his finger, the emblem that held the qualification for the test landed in Reinhardt's hand.
Reinhardt: "!!!"
Immediately, he didn't care about anything else; he leaped directly to Felt's side and, without any knightly demeanor, grabbed Felt's wrist.
Rom, who was originally watching the show, saw this and directly picked up the oversized wooden club from behind the counter, smashing it towards Reinhardt and roaring, "Reinhardt, as the Sword Saint, you would even try to snatch a child?!!!"
But Reinhardt merely waved his hand lightly, catching the descending wooden club, and stared intently at Felt, asking, "What is your family name? How old are you?"
"It hurts, let go."
"How could this be…"
Reinhardt placed the emblem into Felt's hand, looking at the glowing emblem with an expression of utter disbelief.
Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and knocked the struggling Felt unconscious, then threw the emblem to Subaru, saying, "I'm really sorry, but I must take this child back, and also…"
He looked at Rom and said, "She is one of the candidates. You should know what that means."
Rom's expression changed slightly as he stared at Reinhardt and the unconscious Felt in his arms, finally putting down the wooden club with a thud.
"I'll go with you…"
"Alright."
Reinhardt bowed slightly to the group, then left the Loot House with the person.
Yang Tao walked over to Elsa, watching her lie on the ground with that sickly smile still on her face. He reached out and gently grasped, and a soul was thrown into the Warp by him.
Meanwhile, Emilia looked worriedly at Subaru, who was half-kneeling on the ground; Elsa's final blow had made his body incredibly uncomfortable.
"Subaru, are you alright?"
"Me? Of course I'm alright!! Haha, I'm your great benefactor who saved your life."
After speaking, Subaru fell stiffly onto the floor like a log, startling Emilia, who immediately checked on his condition.
Yang Tao glanced over and chuckled, "Don't worry, he's mostly fine, just passed out from exhaustion."
Subaru is, after all, just an ordinary person. Under the effects of the buffs, being able to fight the 'Bowel Hunter' Elsa for such a long time was already quite impressive.
"Are you going to leave him here? Or take him back?"
"He saved me and helped me retrieve the emblem. How could I possibly leave him here uncared for?!"
"Oh? Then repay his life-saving kindness with yourself."
Emilia's face instantly turned crimson upon hearing Yang Tao's words, and she stammered, "This… how can this be? I… I've only known him for one day."
"Haha, alright then."
Yang Tao walked forward, picked up Subaru, and said to Emilia, "We'll talk about marrying him later. Let's leave here first."
"Oh…"
…
The next morning.
Yang Tao sat in Roswaal L. Mathers's super luxurious mansion.
"How decadent…"
Taking a sip of the black tea from the exquisite teacup, Yang Tao flipped through Echidna's book of wisdom in his hand. This book is also known as the "Memory of the World." It can know everything about the past and future of the world.
Of course, its authority can only predict existences with lower authority than itself. Not to mention Yang Tao, this outsider, even the future of its original owner, the 'Witch of Greed,' it cannot predict.
"It's all useless stuff."
He casually tossed Echidna's book of wisdom into his backpack. He was curious if this book could record anything about him.
As for how he got this book.
One could only say that the 'Witch of Greed' residing in the Castle of Dreams was quite interesting; she resisted very hard, and he liked it very much!
A familiar scream came from within the mansion. Yang Tao, who was originally sitting in a chair sipping tea, instantly disappeared.
In a guest room on the second floor of the mansion.
Yang Tao looked at Subaru, who was carried back by two maids, a smile of "I knew it" on his face.
He observed the two maids in the room. Both were around 154cm tall, with large eyes and peach-colored lips.
Their indistinct facial features appeared cute. They had neck-length short hair, with bangs covering their right eye.
They wore black-based aprons and white headpieces.
The two were almost identical except for the direction of their bangs, hair color, and eye color. No, it seemed Rem's chest was fuller than her sister Ram's.
Just then, Subaru, lying on the large bed, opened his eyes and calmly looked at the ceiling, saying, "It's a familiar ceiling…"
The scream earlier was from when he had broken into Roswaal's mansion's forbidden library, said some arrogant words, and was disciplined by the guardian, Beatrice.
Of course, this was just a lesson, not a death reset.
While Subaru was lying in bed in a daze, Rem said to Ram beside her, "He's awake, Sister…"
"Yes, he's awake, Rem."
At this moment, Subaru lay on the bed and looked at the window beside him, saying in a very chuunibyou manner, "As a member of the Dark Moon Clan, for me to wake up during the day is truly touching."
"Now I should go back to sleep. No, I already woke up once, so this should be the second time going back to sleep."
With that, Subaru slowly closed his eyes.
At this point, Rem, who was in charge of the sharp tongue, retorted, "Did you hear that, Sister? What a useless statement."
"I heard it, Rem."
Hearing the sarcastic remarks from beside him, Subaru truly couldn't hold back this time. He sat up from the bed and looked to his side: "Who is this dual-voiced duo that's been insulting me since just now?!"
But the next moment, he saw Rem and Ram standing by his bed and was completely awestruck: 'How is this possible! Are there maid outfits in this world too? Although maid outfits are the epitome of elegance in my heart…'
"But this is good too!!"
He said the last sentence out loud.
Rem, the sharp-tongued one, immediately retorted, "Oh no, Sister just suffered a perverted treatment in the guest's mind…"
And Ram, who was close to Rem, also added, "Oh no, Rem just suffered the ultimate humiliation in the guest's mind…"
Subaru, this guy, instead of being ashamed, was proud. He stretched out his hands, making a motion as if to pounce, saying, "Don't underestimate my brain capacity! Watch me turn you all into my delusional bait!"
Just then, a crisp knock on the door sounded, and Emilia, in pink pajamas, walked into Subaru's bedroom.
"Can't you be a little more well-behaved when you wake up, Subaru? Although I don't know what you meant by what you just said, I'm sure it was very boring."
Then Emilia looked at Yang Tao, who was sitting on the soft stool in the bedroom, and said respectfully, "Mr. Yang, why are you here so early?"
"I had nothing to do. I'm a light sleeper…"
Subaru only then noticed that Yang Tao was in his bedroom and asked in surprise, "When did you get here?"
"Just when you were about to lick Rem and Ram's feet in your mind."
Subaru: "!!!"
