#234 - The Berserker never takes off his helmet
Natsuki Subaru regretted making Emilia feel uneasy, but on the other hand, he was also happy because she was worried about him.
It gave him the feeling that he was important.
However, before he could happily greet Emilia, he saw a helmeted man who never took off his mask appear behind Emilia.
He immediately tensed up.
"Wait! Hold on, wait a minute! You're hitting on Emilia while I'm not around, unforgivable!"
Taking large strides forward, he intervened between the helmeted man and Emilia, Natsuki Subaru glared at the helmeted man with fierce, upturned eyes.
"Is the joy of reunion not as great as the worry about a cheating lover? The complexity of men's hearts is exciting to watch."
"I think so too."
Zun Zun munched on the popcorn that Felt had specially made before going out.
The arrogant woman seemed curious about the popcorn. She didn't say anything, but her arrogant attitude seemed to be telling them to present it to her quickly.
Zun Zun ignored her. Annoyed, the arrogant woman snorted and took some herself. After tasting it, her eyes lit up and she forcefully snatched the popcorn away.
This guy is too arrogant.
"Hey, over there, I can hear you!"
Natsuki Subaru shouted at Zun Zun, then he said gently to the silver-haired half-elf girl, "Emilia's overly kind personality is a super virtue, but it's best to be careful when choosing a target."
The helmeted man said unhappily, "It sounds like you're saying I'm a dangerous person, that's too much."
"A suspicious-looking guy like you has reached the point where you'd be arrested just by calling the guards!" Natsuki Subaru said bluntly.
But what he said made sense.
The helmeted man wore a black full-face helmet, but he was wearing a cheap cloak, and linen clothes that looked like something a bandit would wear. He wore tabi socks on his feet, and sandals on top of them. His outfit was completely beyond common sense.
Even in the trendy royal capital, there was no such avant-garde aesthetic.
The helmeted man sighed.
He turned his head and looked at the arrogant woman who was learning how to make popcorn from Zun Zun, pleadingly, "Princess, aren't you going to say something?"
"There's nothing to say."
The arrogant woman, who had been interrupted, glared at him unhappily, but she also nodded, "Hmm, waiting at the place where I'm going is quite clever, worthy of praise, Al."
"To be honest, the feeling of accidentally getting lost again is undeniable, but saying that would upset the princess, it's really troublesome, so let's agree with it first. Yes, as you say."
The helmeted man said perfunctorily, as if he didn't want any trouble.
Then, he roughly stroked the girl's head with his hand, and then had her stand next to him, while asking curiously, "Princess, who are these two...?"
"Ah, these two are ordinary people... not entirely."
The arrogant woman said confidently and flamboyantly, as if praising them, "Don't underestimate that man, although that guy used a little trick, he did win against me just now."
"Won against the princess?"
The helmeted man was slightly stunned.
Although his face was covered by the helmet and his expression couldn't be seen, everyone present could feel his shock. Then, his aura changed from lazy to serious, as if winning against the arrogant woman was a big deal.
"Don't be so nervous, senior, let's get along well."
"Senior? I see, senior... senior..."
The masked man looked at Zun Zun, then at Natsuki Subaru, and nodded thoughtfully.
Such a reaction naturally aroused everyone's suspicion.
"Huh, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, just saying that you, Felt, will never be able to grope this big sister's chest... Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Let go, don't bite me!"
Before he could finish speaking, Felt bit him unceremoniously.
"You two, stop flirting here, please. I'll be sad because I can't get closer to Emilia-tan. You agree, right, Emilia-tan... Emilia-tan?"
Natsuki Subaru's question was not answered, and he looked to the side strangely.
Then he noticed that the silent Emilia was hiding behind Natsuki Subaru as if she wanted to avoid people's attention. The hood that had been pulled back to reveal her face was pulled forward again, and she suppressed her voice as much as possible to erase her presence.
"So you're Emilia?"
"...Princess, no matter what, I think you should know the other party's name."
"I don't remember anything other than interesting things! The same goes for those over there."
The arrogant woman said, Emilia became even more silent, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the other party, while a dissatisfied click of the tongue came from the opposite side.
"Do you guys know each other?"
"Which nose told you we know each other?"
"If noses could see things, that would be a big problem... Speaking of which, it seems like we've all found the people we're looking for, so it's about time to break up, right?"
Although Natsuki Subaru didn't know why, Emilia didn't want to be noticed here. In that case, he would follow her wishes and take the correct action.
"You're not saying that to the princess, but to me. Your judgment is correct."
"...I kind of feel sorry for you, to be honest."
Natsuki Subaru looked at Al sympathetically, and then left with Emilia, but before leaving, he said to Zun Zun, "To be honest, I have a lot of questions I want to ask, but it doesn't seem like a good time now. I'll come find you later."
"Oh, I'll be waiting for you."
It's probably about the transmigration, but there's not much Zun Zun can tell him. As for the understanding of this world, the helmeted man beside him knows more.
He stretched lazily.
"Ugh--! Since things are over, then we should leave too. See you next time, senior."
"Ah, I wish you a pleasant life in this world, junior."
He understood quickly.
No, it's because there's Natsuki Subaru as a comparison, so he understood so quickly.
He waved his hand, and he and Felt leisurely walked in the opposite direction from Natsuki Subaru and the others. The two of them intuitively judged that walking over there might get them involved in other inexplicable things.
But they completely forgot.
They were already being harassed by a weirdo.
The luxuriously dressed arrogant woman and the raggedly dressed helmeted man, this combination was too conspicuous, even if they didn't want to pay attention.
"...I say, big sister, how long do you want to follow us? You're not going to say that you're actually going in this direction, are you?"
"That's right, I'm going this way."
"...Then we'll go the other way."
"If that's the case, I'll go the opposite direction too..."
"Damn it, do you like me that much? Are you the kind of proud girl who throws herself at me!? Or are you going to latch onto me because I groped your chest!?"
Zun Zun couldn't help but shout at her.
Shouting about groping a woman's chest in the street, even the arrogant woman almost couldn't hold back. She clenched the folding fan in her hand and snorted coldly, "Although you won against me, you dare to humiliate me like this, I'm angry!"
Angry as she was, she didn't say anything.
Zun Zun looked at the masked man who was acting as the arrogant woman's guard, and said with deep sympathy, "Senior, it must be hard for you to take care of a guy with a problem in her head."
"Dealing with it skillfully with an adult's tolerance won't be so tiring. The trick is to think of her as a cat who hasn't been taught at all and is arrogant. That way, you'll find her very cute. People who haven't reached old age understand this very well."
Hearing Zun Zun's words of sympathy, Al just shrugged his shoulders, his gaze falling on the girl.
Although he couldn't see the eyes in the helmet, the atmosphere was like a father's love for his daughter, and it didn't seem like a bad relationship.
Just as Zun Zun was thinking this.
Al's only right hand slowly touched the exquisite greatsword on his waist, which was different from his rough attire, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "I just heard you say, junior, that you groped the princess's chest..."
"Eh...! ?"
Zun Zun subconsciously took a step back.
He was very familiar with that look in his eyes, it was the terrifying look Piao Sanlang had when he wanted to kill him after he and Huihui slept in the same bed.
"Wa-wait a minute, senior! Th-this guy also groped!"
"...Zun Zun, you actually pushed me out too, you're not manly enough!"
"Whether I'm manly or not, I'll show you later!"
"Don't be a pervert to me!"
Looking at the fierce helmeted man in front of him, the two couldn't help but hug each other.
"Zun Zun, hurry up and think of a way!"
"At this point, there's only one way left."
"What is it?"
"--You give me the slip!"
"Wait for me, you dare to leave me behind, that's too much!"
Zun Zun turned around and ran, and Felt, after a second of stunned silence, also chased after him with the wind at his heels.
And the helmeted man behind him, although he shouted not to run, he had no intention of moving at all. The arrogant woman saw this scene and snorted coldly, "You dare to put on such a low-class drama in front of me, Al, do you know your crime?"
"As expected, Princess, you noticed."
Al scratched his helmet.
He clearly knew the nature of his princess. If he just followed like this, he didn't know when it would end, so he acted out that scene just now.
Although that 'junior' understood what he meant, at the same time, his own princess with her superb understanding also understood.
"Forget it, let's spare them."
The arrogant woman looked at the figures of the two leaving, and took another bite of popcorn. The milky and sweet taste made her expression soften, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
She was in a great mood now.
On the other side.
Felt and Zun Zun, who had escaped from being entangled by strange people, ran forward without looking back, with no intention of stopping.
They subconsciously ran back to the Sword Saint family's mansion, and sat down on the ground with a plop under the twins' confusion. The two of them, panting, looked at each other, and then burst out laughing happily.
It happened that Reinhard walked back from outside. He was slightly stunned when he saw the laughing pair, "Felt-sama, it's rare to see such a bright smile. Did you have a lot of fun today?"
"Yeah! Today Zun Zun took me to grope the big-chested woman's chest."
"...Eh?" X4
Not only Reinhard and the twin maids, but even Zun Zun was dumbfounded.
"Zun Zun-sama, I understand that you have needs in that area at your age, but please don't corrupt Felt-sama."
"Wa-wait a minute...! It's not like that, Reinhard, listen to my explanation! Felt, you little rascal, you're framing me!"
Felt made a face at him, and then showed a triumphant and cheerful smile.
