"Reinhard?"
Emilia turned and saw the red-haired young man, clearly surprised.
Reinhard nodded politely to her. Then his gaze returned to Felt.
"Pardon me, Miss Emilia. I'll be taking this child."
He didn't waste words and got straight to the point. He stared at the crest in Felt's hand, then studied her features.
It was basically confirmed now.
"Eh?"
Emilia was confused by what Reinhard said. He was taking Felt away?
"What are you trying to do?"
Felt was already panicking. A redhead barged in and now wanted to take her?
She was completely thrown off. What the hell was going on?
Why take her away?
Emilia was equally surprised. Was Felt going to be imprisoned?
"She's probably one of the royal selection candidates too." "Lookthe crest is glowing."
Kaguya gave Emilia a timely reminder.
Look closely. The crest was indeed glowing.
With Kaguya's reminder, Emilia noticed it.
The crest in Felt's hand was radiating light. Emilia knew full well what that meant.
Felt was the fifth royal candidate.
Chapter 419: Want to Go? I'll Take You There
The fifth royal candidate had appeared! Judging from the glow emitted by the crest, this was already confirmed beyond doubt.
Emilia was momentarily stunned. Was it really such a coincidence? The fifth royal candidate had been untraceable for so long. And now, she just happened to show up? And it was this very child?
"She should be a member of the Lugnica royal family." "There was a child in the royal household who was kidnapped at a very young age." "Judging by everything, it's likely her." "All the evidence fits." "So, Miss Emilia, I'll take this young lady with me for now." "I'll visit you later to apologize properly."
After a brief explanation, Reinhard bowed slightly to Emilia. Then he took Felt and left. He intended to take her back and begin training her.
"Let me go! Let me go right now!!" "Bastard!!"
Felt was obviously unwilling to be taken away forcibly. She struggled to break free. But how could Reinhard let her go? And just like that, Felt was taken away.
Old Man Rom looked like he wanted to say something. But he couldn't open his mouth. He had heard the whole conversation just now. Felt was actually of noble blood? This revelation left him deeply shocked.
Emilia, having retrieved her crest, finally let out a breath of relief.
"Thank you!" "Kaguya, come on, let's go!"
The matter was settled, and it was time for her to return. Rem was probably getting anxious by now. With that in mind, she grabbed Kaguya and left the slums.
On their way back, they encountered several shady individuals. But Kaguya was no Emilia. With a flick of her hand, she fired a small magic blast.
The onlookers scattered in fear, not daring to harbor any further thoughts.
Emilia watched this scene with a hint of helplessness. Even though she had just met Kaguya, she already had a general understanding of her character. How to put it? Kaguya was a bit impulsive. If she encountered anything unpleasant, she'd lash out without hesitation. She had done so when they arrived, and now again as they left. But Emilia said nothing.
She could feel that Kaguya was actually a good person.
"By the way, Kaguya, I still don't know where you and Takumi are from." "Could you tell me about it?"
Emilia was very curious. Were she and Takumi a couple? Were they from another country? She wanted to know.
"Me?" "Takumi and I are from another world!" "We're not from your world." "You saw earlierthe magic I used isn't from your world." "Neither is my power."
Kaguya smiled brightly at Emilia. She wondered what kind of reaction Emilia would have upon hearing this.
Under Kaguya's gaze, Emilia froze.
"Another world?" "Beyond the waterfall?"
Emilia was surprised. So by "another world," did Kaguya mean the world beyond the waterfall?
"No, no!!" "The world beyond the waterfall is still part of your world." "We're not from there." "We come from a completely different worlda world far, far away." "In the endless void, there are countless worlds." "These worlds float in the void like bubbles." "Your world is one bubble, and we are from another."
Kaguya briefly explained the concept.
After hearing the explanation, Emilia was completely stunned.
"Huh?"
This was the first time she had heard such a thing.
"Oh?" "So such places really exist?"
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Then, a small gray cat appeared on Emilia's shoulder. It was none other than the spirit Puck!
It was time for his appearance. He needed to stretch as well. After hearing Emilia's words, Puck was equally shocked.
"Puck!" "You're awake!!"
Emilia was overjoyed to see him.
"Yes, yes, and I heard something incredible just now."
Puck curiously stared at Kaguya. He could sense the terrifying power radiating from her.
Such power made him uneasy. Even the witches might not be this strong.
From another world? Truly astonishing.
"Hello there!"
Kaguya greeted Puck boldly.
"Thanks for taking care of my daughter." "Hehe~!"
Puck waved his paw in response, returning the greeting. He also expressed his gratitude for Kaguya's care toward Emilia.
"It was nothing, really!"
Kaguya didn't mind at all. Puck nodded and didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he asked about the other world. He was extremely curious.
"Beautiful lady, could you tell me more about your world?" "I'm very curious!!"
Puck looked at Kaguya with eager eyes, hoping to learn more.
Kaguya nodded. She didn't refuse.
She began explaining to Emilia and Puck about Takumi's world.
When they learned that Takumi's world had many different raceseven elves and dragonsboth of them were stunned.
"Um... are there half-elves in your world?"
Emilia asked nervously. Elves in another world? Would there be half-elves?
"Yes!" "There are quite a few."
Half-elves? Of course there were. Especially among the worlds fused into DanMachi.
Even other worlds that had merged in featured elves. So, in Takumi's world, the elven race was not rare.
Since they wanted to know, Kaguya explained it.
Listening to Kaguya, Emilia couldn't help but be moved.
What a beautiful world. So many people living together in harmony.
"I really want to see it!"
Puck also sighed longingly. If only they could visit such a world.
"Want to go?" "No problem!" "When we go back, we can take you with us."
Kaguya grinned. She wasn't afraid of them wanting to goonly of them not wanting to. So she agreed without hesitation.
She even considered convincing Emilia to give up the royal selection. After all, there really wasn't anything fun here. Why not go to Takumi's world?
"Umm... about that..." Emilia didn't know how to decide. She shook her head.
She hadn't thought that far yet. After all, she still had to participate in the royal selection.
Kaguya wasn't in a hurry.
On the way back, she continued explaining more about Takumi's world to Emilia. She even summoned Prometheus. And played some of the recorded video data for Emilia to watch.
Just like that, the two girls and one cat quickly returned to where Ram and Rem were.
The moment she saw the twin maids, Kaguya's eyes lit up.
Chapter 420: Kaguya: Finish Him Off Immediately!!!
Ram and Remwhat a wonderful pair of sisters.
The maid sisters were both surprised to see Emilia return with an incredibly beautiful woman.
"Lady Emilia." *2
They quickly and respectfully greeted Emilia.
"Ram, Rem! This is Miss Kaguya. She'll be staying with us at the Margrave's estate for a while. Her companion has gone off to handle some other matters."
Emilia introduced Kaguya to Ram and Rem.
"Hello! I'm Kaguya Houraisan. Nice to meet you. I didn't bring a gift for our first meeting... how about I heal you instead?"
Kaguya greeted them with cheerful ease.
However, her words left the two maids puzzled. Heal?
Before Ram and Rem could ask anything, Kaguya walked over to Ram and touched her forehead with a fingertip.
Ram hadn't even spoken yet. The next moment, a wave of temporal energy surged forth. Her lost horn began to regrow.
The aura inside her grew stronger. Feeling her horn returning, Ram was shocked. Rem beside her looked completely dumbfounded.
Her sister's horn... was healed? Rem's heart raced with emotion.
"Sister!!"
Seeing Ram's gradually restored horn, Rem was overwhelmed with joy. Her sister's horn had returned!
Kaguya clapped her hands.
"Done! That should do it. Don't lose it again."
She looked at Ram with satisfaction. She had wanted to do this for a while.
Plus, she found Roswaal extremely irritating.
Soon, she would teach him a serious lesson. Time stop and wipe him outcertainly an option.
Thinking this, Kaguya nodded to herself. That's it then.
That pervert should just be erased. Wait noshe shouldn't get her hands dirty. This was a job for Takumi.
If she did it herself, it would feel beneath her.
Kaguya took a photo of the two sisters hugging and sent it to the group chat, tagging Takumi.
Kaguya Houraisan: [@takumi, image] [These twin maids are amazing!!]
Nyarlathotep: [Slurp slurp slurp!!]
Sagiri: [Why's my screen all sticky? Let me lick it clean!]
Chika Fujiwara: [Mission accomplishedenemy infiltrated!!]
Takumi: [Busy right now.] [I'll come over later.] [I'll also check out those witches.] [Their Authorities are quite interesting.]
Kaguya Houraisan: [Hurry over and deal with that Roswaal scumbag. I don't want to see him!!!]
Seeing Takumi reply, Kaguya immediately expressed her wishes. But Takumi was confused.
Takumi: [Didn't you already go over there?] [Why are you waiting for me to do it?] [You could take care of him easily.]
If Kaguya acted personally, it would be as easy as flipping her hand. Why bother dragging him over?
Kaguya Houraisan: [Hmph! I don't like that guy who possesses his own descendants.] [Getting my hands dirty on him would be disgusting!!]
She had no intention of doing it herself. Let Takumi handle it.
Takumi: [Fine then.] [If that's how it is...]
Takumi said nothing more.
Back at the Margrave's estate, Roswaal suddenly felt his heart tighten. The next second, his pupils shrank.
He collapsed right there in his office.
At the same time, numerous documents detailing Roswaal's crimes surfaced. Including how he hired the Bowel Hunter to attack Emilia. And how he played the role of mastermind behind numerous events.
All of this was extracted from Roswaal's memories by Takumi. His sins were enough to warrant death a thousand times.
Takumi had even erased Roswaal's soul.
With everything handled effortlessly, Takumi lost interest. Roswaal had power, yes, but in Takumi's eyes, he was just a larger insect.
Crushing him was child's play. Even from afar, it was no problem.
Takumi: [Done.] [I left some evidence behind too. His soul has been wiped out.]
Takumi shared the update with Kaguya in the group chat.
Kaguya's lips curled into a smile. That solved everything.
Kaguya Houraisan: [Beautifully done!!]
Sagiri: [Beautifully done!]
Nyarlathotep: [Beautifully done!] [Absolutely amazing!!] [Hubby, I love you!!!]
...Requesting flowers...
Takumi stared at Nyarlathotep's message, speechless.
Could she stop that nonsense? He didn't have a tentacled freak for a wife!
Takumi: [(Д)] [Shut up!]
...
The group chat immediately burst into chaos. Nyarlathotep was truly shameless. Calling him hubby without warning?
What the hell was wrong with her now? Everyone else was speechless.
Takumi ignored her and continued with his own tasks. He also established a mental connection with Kaguya.
"Just say whatever in your mind. The group's gone crazy."
Takumi's voice rang out in Kaguya's mind. Hearing this, Kaguya laughed.
"Looks like Nyarlathotep has a crush on you? Not bad!"
Kaguya was grinning with glee.
Though she had no idea what Nyarlathotep was thinking, it seemed like good drama was about to unfold.
Hearing that, Takumi grumbled in frustration.
"Just thinking about her real form makes my sanity plummet!!"
"Enough of that." "Let's focus on convincing Emilia." "Bring her to our world." "There's nothing fun in this one."
Takumi still really wanted to bring Ram and Rem back with them.
Kaguya, upon hearing this, agreed without hesitation.
That was a great idea!
"No problem! Leave it to me!!"
With that, she didn't think much further.
Ram and Rem had just finished being emotional. The two sisters bowed deeply to Kaguya.
"Thank you!"
She had really helped them. Especially Rem.
She had always had a knot in her heart. Now, it had finally been untied.
"No need to thank me. Takumi was the one who told me to do it." "Even if I didn't, he'd definitely have done it once he got here."
Kaguya smiled at the twins. She gave all the credit to Takumi.
If they wanted to thank someone, thank Takumi.
Hearing the name, the sisters froze.
Takumi?
"Mr. Takumi is Kaguya's companion. He'll be arriving at the Margrave's estate later." "Let's hurry back. It's getting late."
Emilia quickly explained who Takumi was.
Chapter 421: That's Right, It Was the Witch Cult
Kaguya returned to the Margrave's estate together with Emilia. They made it back before nightfallthanks in no small part to Kaguya's assistance. She had no intention of spending the night outdoors. Besides, she still wanted to enjoy the drama that was about to unfold. That's why she pushed for them to get back quickly.
Ram, Rem, and Emilia were surprised at how quickly they returned. That was fast! Though baffled, none of them dwelled on it.
No sooner had they returned than another maid rushed toward them in a panic.
"Lady Emilia!! Something's happenedThe Margrave... he's dead!!"
That grim news struck everyone like lightning. Everyone's faces changed. Ram and Rem were shocked. The Margrave was dead?
Kaguya, too, put on a shocked expression.
"What happened? Take me to himquick!"
With that, Emilia, Ram, and Rem rushed off.
The estate was large. Contrary to what the anime might suggest, there were many maids herenot just Ram and Rem. They were the head maids.
The other maids were in a frenzy. The Margrave had died suddenly in his study. It was terrifying.
The group rushed over quickly. When they arrived, there were already others at the scene.
A petite girl stood observing the corpse.
"Beatrice!! What happened?!"
Seeing Beatrice there, Emilia immediately questioned her. What had occurred here? Why had Roswaal died so suddenly?
