, the fastest update, I didn't expect it, I went through the latest chapter again!
During these days with Betty, Zhou Fangwu felt very happy.
Although Betty is stubborn, flamboyant and arrogant, she doesn't hold back when she speaks, and has always been indifferent.
But Betty, like Ram, is a kind-hearted old man who cares about everyone, but always cares about others with awkward feelings.
She always complained, but Betty never refused the requests of other people in the mansion.
Such Betty, Zhou Fangwu wanted to save her!
It's not that the contract is purposely used as an excuse to save Betty, but it is very pure to save Betty from the long and fruitless wait!
actually.
Zhou Fangwu has already prepared for Betty to regard him as [that person].
To put it a bit more insidiously, he was using this to increase his weight in Betty's heart.
He wanted to be by Betty's side every day, to deepen the bond between the two of them, and at the same time let Betty communicate more with the people in the mansion, and slowly open Betty's closed heart.
Because Betty's subjective consciousness is very important, only in this way can Betty understand that she is not living for the contract or for [that person].
After Betty understood this and realized her true thoughts, Zhou Fangwu forcefully pulled Betty out of the **** of the contract.
Even when I took the opportunity to ask her just now, I was thinking in my heart: Even if it doesn't work this time, just wait for the next time.
But in fact.
While he was disappointed in her, he was also disappointed in himself.
When Betty really refused, Zhou Fangwu had no way to face it calmly.
He can take a shortcut if he wants to, as long as he says "I am the one you are waiting for".
But that is just walking into Betty's cage constructed by means of evasion and lies, not really entering Betty's heart, nor is it really liberating her from the bondage.
It's true that you want to boil frogs in warm water, but Betty's 400-year-long waiting can not so easily dispel the obsession in her heart.
After all, what Zhou Fangwu thought was too simple!
The current Betty needs to calm down for a while, so he made a request not to meet again for the time being.
"Oh, it's really hard for me."
Zhou Fangwu shook his head and sighed.
"Oh—ah—, isn't this Wu—? You are here—what are you doing—by yourself?"
Roswaal's weird voice came to Zhou Fangwu's ears when he least wanted to hear it.
"What, it's Roswaal you."
Zhou Fangwu turned his head to look at the 'clown' walking towards him, and said, "You are the one, what are you going to do?"
Roswaal was walking in the courtyard, and Ram was following behind him, and Ram held a fragrant black tea in his hand.
It seems that this time is really a coincidence.
Roswaal pointed to Ram behind him, and said, "Me? I'm going to enjoy afternoon tea—! Wu, let's have a taste together, how about—?"
"The king's election is about to begin, but the Earl is going to enjoy afternoon tea in the courtyard leisurely?"
Facing his invitation, Zhou Fangwu said mockingly: "You are really lazy."
This guy, every time he is in distress, he will go to have afternoon tea leisurely.
Did you mean it, bastard!
"Ahaha~ You should have a good rest when you are busy."
Roswaal smiled a few times pretending to be embarrassed.
"Well, do you want to go together—?"
"OK."
Facing his invitation again, Zhou Fangwu nodded in agreement.
The three came to the gazebo in the courtyard again, and Roswaal and Zhou Fangwu sat opposite each other.
"Please-."
Like last time, Roswaal put the fragrant hot tea in front of Zhou Fangwu.
He picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Oh?"
Zhou Fangwu was slightly surprised, "The taste of this tea is a little different from last time!"
"yes?"
Hearing what Zhou Fangwu said, Roswaal quickly raised his teacup and took a sip gracefully.
"Well—indeed, there are a lot of changes from the usual black tea. What's going on—Lamu, can you tell me about it?"
[Book Friends Benefits You can get cash or coins and iPhone12, Switch waiting for you to draw! Follow the vx public account [Book Friends Base Camp] to get it!
Although the black tea in his hand is delicious, it has changed a lot from the usual flavor, and the taste is richer.
This got Roswaal interested in Ram's change.
"Yes, Lord Roswaal."
Ram first added hot tea for the two, and then said: "This is the result of the tea art exchange with Wu last time."
"Just once, can you make that much progress?"
"Yes."
This time not only Roswaal, but even Zhou Fang was very surprised.
You know, the last time he just made a cup of black tea in front of Ram, he was able to achieve such a huge improvement!
Even if Lahm had tasted the black tea he brewed, Zhou Fangwu wondered if she had [analysis and imitation] cheats like himself.
But, obviously, this is impossible!
This is her true talent!
"Lam, your talent in making black tea is truly unmatched."
Zhou Fangwu sincerely admired him.
"Humph."
Ram snorted proudly.
After Roswaal heard Zhou Fangwu praised Lahm, he said proudly: "Right—— Lahm is unmatched in making black tea—well."
Then, the two tasted delicious black tea again.
…
"Wu, did you argue with Beatrice?"
Roswaal's sudden words stunned Zhou Fangwu.
"Why do you say that."
"Because after you came out of the forbidden library—, your complexion was not very good—"
"Why wasn't it because I didn't get along well with the people in the mansion before, and there was some awkwardness?"
"You didn't look like that when you left the reception room, and—"
Roswaal raised his teacup to his eye level, "I'm pretty sure Beatrice is the one in question, right—?"
"..."
"Hehehe, do you want me to tell you how to have a good relationship with her—?"
Roswaal chuckled, as if he knew why, and said, "It's very simple—as long as you say 'I am that person'..."
"Ah, sorry, that turned me down."
"what?"
"I said, I just rejected Betty and denied that I was [that person]."
"?!"
Hearing Zhou Fangwu's words, the teacup Roswaal was holding swayed subconsciously. The black tea in the cup stirred up layers of ripples, and a lot of red liquid flowed down the rim of the cup.
This is enough to see how flustered he is now.
Ram quickly took off Roswaal's gloves, and at the same time took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands wet with black tea.
"Wu, how much do you know?!"
Although Roswaal's tone returned to normal, it was cold and murderous.
Even with that, Ram's movements became stiff.
He had doubts last time, but Ram told him that Zhou Fangwu was just deceiving himself, and the purpose was to restrain himself from controlling Emilia.
But this time, he has reason to believe that Zhou Fangwu definitely knows something!
"Don't get me wrong, I don't know anything."
Old God Zhou Fangwu was drinking black tea and said:
"At the forbidden library just now, Betty suddenly asked me if I was [that person], and I didn't know what [that person] was. After subconsciously refusing, her face immediately changed, and she kicked me out of the forbidden library immediately. Library."
"..."
Roswaal didn't believe Zhou Fangwu's words, but he didn't show any obvious flaws.
Most importantly, [Book of Wisdom] has no instructions!
The next moment, he returned to his previous attitude, and said strangely: "Is that so—, that's really a pity—well, that's the only way to get closer to Betty—"
"By the way, Roswaal."
"What, Wu—?"
"I'm leaving for a while."
"...the reason?"
"Look, because of me, the atmosphere in the mansion has become depressing. Not only Emilia and Natsuki Subaru, but even Betty has trouble with me because of this."
Zhou Fangwu said with some embarrassment again: "If I'm here, it's embarrassing, isn't it?"
"I see——Wu meant that he wanted to leave the Earl's Mansion temporarily, and put some distance between them and ease the relationship—is that so?"
"Right, that is it."
Roswaal nodded knowingly, "Yes—, I agree—."
"..."
"how-?"
"I thought you'd say no."
To be honest, Zhou Fangwu really thought that Roswaal would refuse his request to leave.
After all, he asked Zhou Fangwu to stay as Emilia's knight so much before, so how could he let him go so easily.
In fact, Zhou Fangwu was ready to leave quietly.
Talking to Roswaal was just trying to find out what he said.
But unexpectedly, Roswaal agreed? !
This definitely has something to do with [Book of Wisdom]!
"Oh—this happened to everyone in the Wuhe mansion. As the owner of the mansion, of course I have to consider everyone's feelings—"
Roswaal lied without blinking his eyes, "Okay—, since Wu wants to leave, I promise you—"
"yes."
Zhou Fangwu nodded, "Then it's settled. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Is it in such a hurry—?"
"The sooner the better."
"So, is Wu Ding going there-? Why don't you let me write a letter to the knights in the capital, how about-?"
"No, I want to go back to my hometown, so I don't need to write a letter of introduction."
"yes."
Roswaal nodded, but then said: "Lord Emilia will arrive in the capital in a month. It is estimated that the royal election will officially start. I very much hope that Wu will appear there."
"I will."
Zhou Fangwu readily agreed.
That's all for the topic.
He didn't show up at the table during dinner, and he didn't know how Emilia and Subaru Natsuki were feeling, and he didn't know if Betty kept the agreement.
The news that he was going to leave must have been spread throughout the mansion by Ram.
A little embarrassing.
It's as if he intensified the conflict, and then ran away without thinking about anything. Isn't this the same as someone who came to make trouble.
night.
Zhou Fangwu walked alone in the courtyard, but found that someone was already there.
It's Natsuki Subaru and Emilia.
The two were talking in the moonlight.
With Zhou Fangwu's excellent ears, he heard that it was Nayue Subaru who was encouraging Emilia to cheer her up again.
"Emilia Tan, it's okay!"
Nayue Subaru encouraged her loudly, and said: "I believe that you will not be tripped by this little difficulty. Emilia Tan can definitely do it, I believe in you!"
"Pleiades…"
Emilia should have been angry with Nazuki Subaru, but Nayuki Subaru had good intentions, and he just did bad things with good intentions.
She was not good at rejecting others, and even less good at blaming others.
"Yes, I will work hard! I must let Wu become my knight, and then go to participate in the king's election!"
Emilia picks herself up after being encouraged by him.
Nayuki Subaru grinned and said, "Oh, that's the momentum, let's keep working hard!"
"However, Subaru is not allowed to help me this time."
Emilia refuses his help.
"Ah, yes... Wu said that he can't help you, it will affect your growth."
Natsuki Subaru was extremely entangled, and after struggling for a long time, he said, "Sorry, Emilia Tan, I can't help you this time."
"Where is it! I don't need Subaru's help!"
Although what Emilia said was ruthless, her original intention was that she didn't want to trouble Subaru Natsuki anymore.
"Pfft, Emilia Tan really hurt me by saying that."
Natsuki Subaru lay on the ground in a funny way, pretending to be pitiful and wanted Emilia to comfort him.
And his plot did succeed.
Emilia quickly knelt down to help him up, and asked anxiously, "Are you all right, Subaru, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Emilia cared so much about him, Natsuki Subaru's heart was already filled with the silver-haired half-elf in front of him.
"Hahaha, I lied to you."
Natsuki Subaru looked like a child who succeeded in pranking, laughing and laughing.
"Mo~ Subaru is also true."
Emilia helped him up angrily and with a smile, but she was reluctant to talk about him.
"Then, it's already very late, and Emilia's evening class is over here! Well, the good children have already fallen asleep! Emilia Tan is too, go back to sleep quickly!"
Natsuki Subaru wanted Emilia to rest earlier, so he urged her to go back quickly.
"Yes, good night, Subaru."
"Good night, Emilia Tan."
Natsuki Subaru said goodbye to her with a smile on his face, and the two separated.
When he just walked out of the courtyard, he heard someone calling him.
"Naiyue-kun, good evening."
"Wu?"
Natsuki Subaru looked at the figure standing not far away in surprise.
"Want to go for a walk together?"
"OK."
Facing Zhou Fangwu's invitation, Nayue Subaru nodded in agreement.
Walk in the quiet courtyard.
"Caiyue-kun, are you angry?"
"what?"
"I refused to be Emilia's knight twice, are you angry, hate me, don't you hate me?"
"Hmm...no, if I had to say it, it would be disappointment and joy."
What Nayue Subaru said surprised Zhou Fangwu.
"I understand the disappointment, but where does the joy come from?"
"The reason for my joy should be when I heard Wu Shuo refused to become Emilia's knight. At that time, I was thinking in my heart whether I had a chance to become Emilia's knight .”
Hearing what he said, Zhou Fangwu was even more surprised, "That is to say, you have already made preparations to replace me in case I refuse to become Emilia's knight?"
Natsuki Subaru nodded, and said very firmly: "Well, I have such an idea."
"Really? I can't see it. I'm a little surprised that you still have such an idea."
Zhou Fangwu didn't mean to laugh at him, "You know, it's not that easy to be a knight."
"I know! But I just want to help Emilia, I don't want her to be troubled!"
"yes."
Zhou Fangwu could also feel his belief, "Mr. Caiyue, do you have the idea of becoming an elf warlock?"
"what?!"
Nayue Subaru was startled by what Zhou Fangwu said suddenly, "Why did you suddenly change the topic to something I don't know?"
"You have the conditions to become an elf warlock, don't you want to be an elf warlock?"
"why?"
Natsuki Subaru was full of doubts.
"Two points! First, becoming an elf warlock will increase your strength, allowing you to better protect and help Emilia; second, after becoming an elf warlock, you will be able to fight with Emilia who is also an elf warlock. Ya has more topics, which is conducive to strengthening the bond between you."
Even so, Zhou Fangwu didn't tell him the most critical reason.
That is, the condition for the lazy archbishop to transfer his soul to another person's body is that that person must have the qualifications to become an elf warlock!
And Natsuki Subaru has the qualifications to become an elf warlock!
"Um…"
Hearing Zhou Fangwu said that he could get closer to Emilia, Natsuki Subaru immediately considered the feasibility of Zhou Fangwu's words.
It's just that he doesn't understand anything, so he hesitates.
"It's okay, wouldn't it be good to find someone who understands?"
Zhou Fangwu said: "Emilia is an elf warlock, won't you be able to get closer to her by asking her for advice?"
"yes!"
Natsuki Subaru's eyes lit up, why didn't he expect that.
"Come on, Natsuki-kun."
Zhou Fangwu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I hope that when I see you next time, your changes will surprise me."
"Oh, I promise!"
Nayue Subaru shouted passionately, and then asked, "Wu, do you have to leave?"
In the afternoon, Natsuki Subaru had heard from Ram that Zhou Fangwu would leave the Earl's mansion early tomorrow morning, so he asked.
"You know, right now, I'm not suitable for the Earl's Mansion."
Zhou Fangwu replied: "Emilia may not make a wise judgment because I am here, so it is better for me to leave first."
"yes."
Natsuki Subaru looked a little downcast.
"It's not like we won't meet again Don't have such a weak expression, idiot! Not only Emilia, you also need to grow up quickly! Don't be discouraged by the momentary helplessness, don't be discouraged by Escape from momentary weakness.”
Zhou Fangwu gave him a hammer on the head, and then gave his final advice, saying:
"I'd rather be wrong than do nothing, understand?"
"..."
"Also, when you don't know whether this is the future you want, don't be satisfied with the status quo! Do you understand?"
"…Yes."
Seeing that he listened to his own words, Zhou Fangwu nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, this is the end of the conversation, you should go back and rest."
After speaking, let him leave.
There was only one figure with his back turned to Subaru Natsuki.
