On the way back to the city, Hao Yun lay on Rem's lap and began to recall the plot of the anime.
With the White Whale subjugation complete, all Hao Yun knew about the remaining plot was that there was still a Sloth High Priest to come.
Hopefully, after Sloth is killed, the other high priests will also come looking for trouble.
If he still couldn't lure the witch out, Hao Yun would have no choice but to forcibly absorb the world's origin, taking as much as he could.
Run away after you've looted, lest you be dragged down with the world's origin and die together.
"Hey, you perverted customer, can you please stop moving around!"
Rem bit her lip and gently wiggled her thigh.
"cannot."
Hao Yun adjusted himself into a comfortable position, raised his head, and stared blankly at Rem.
Under Hao Yun's gaze, Rem's face slowly turned red.
"Don't keep staring at me, I need to catch my train."
"Okay, okay."
Hao Yun got up and leaned against the carriage, his eyes scanning the surrounding woods.
What's going on? Haven't the Witch Cult members arrived yet?
We're almost at the manor; the Witch Cult should have already laid an ambush.
Hao Yun tentatively extended a wisp of his divine sense, searching the entire forest.
It was completely empty, except for a few squirrels.
Hao Yun stroked his chin, muttering to himself.
No way, could it be that I came back too early? Hmm... that's actually possible.
Forget it, let's go back to the manor first. Anyway, the Witch Cult will come knocking on our door sooner or later.
With his arms behind his back, Hao Yun yawned and lay back down on Rem's lap.
As the sun was about to set, the dragon carriage finally arrived at the manor.
"Lady Emilia, welcome back...!"
Ram, who came out to greet Hao Yun, saw him lying on Rem's lap, and her gentle gaze instantly turned incredibly sharp.
"Hi! Ram, good afternoon."
With Ram watching him intently, Hao Yun, holding Rem's hand, swaggered into the manor.
"Guest...guest, please don't do that."
Rem broke free from Hao Yun's grasp and ran out to explain to Ram.
Subaru Natsuki, who was unconscious, was completely forgotten in the carriage.
That night, a mysterious group appeared near the village and began setting up a magic circle.
Subaru Natsuki, who had been in a coma all night, slowly awoke in the early morning.
"A familiar ceiling, the manor?"
"Yes, you useless diners."
The one speaking was Ram, who had been keeping watch here all night because Subaru Natsuki was unconscious.
Subaru Natsuki regained consciousness, and Ram closed the book in his hand and walked outside.
"Ram?"
"The fact that the guest still remembers Ram's name means he has regained consciousness. As for the battle with the white whale, I heard you were completely useless and even got injured, tsk!"
The dismissive tone made Subaru Natsuki jump up.
"Who said that! I'm a man who has fought against beluga whales, and my injuries were sustained in battle!"
"Yes, Ram understands, but would the guest like to put on his pants first?"
Subaru looked down and his face immediately turned red. He pulled the blanket over his lower body.
"If there are no other requests, Ram is leaving?"
No! Absolutely not!
Covering his erect penis, Subaru lowered his head in shame.
Ram snorted and turned to leave the room.
"It's really noisy!"
Hao Yun leaned against the door frame, looking at Raizuki Subaru in the room, and said in a low voice.
Have you thought it all through?
Subaru Natsuki gritted his teeth and stared at Hao Yun as he spoke each word carefully.
"I'm quitting. I'm leaving here voluntarily to live somewhere else."
Chapter 264 The Witch Cult Attacks
At the restaurant, Subaru Natsuki asked to leave.
"I'm leaving the manor. From today onwards, I will no longer be a guest here."
Emilia, who was having breakfast, stared wide-eyed at Subaru Natsuki in astonishment.
"Subaru Natsuki, what are you saying? You're leaving?"
Looking at Emilia's exquisite face, Subaru Natsuki gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.
"Yes."
Ram, who was standing to the side serving, spoke up, "Is this useless guest leaving? Unbelievable. Don't you want to reconsider?"
After spending these few days together, Ram had developed a slight liking for Subaru Natsuki. She felt that if Subaru Natsuki left the manor, he would definitely starve to death on the streets.
"I've made up my mind. I'll leave after breakfast."
As he said this, Subaru Natsuki glanced at Hao Yun.
"Alright, since Subaru Natsuki has decided to leave, please accept this money."
Emilia, worried that she wouldn't be able to live after Subaru left, asked Rem to fetch a bag of gold coins.
Subaru Natsuki originally didn't want it, but considering he was penniless, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Thanks."
"It's alright, Subaru Natsuki deserves it."
After breakfast, Subaru strode out of the manor with great pride.
Emilia waved goodbye to him reluctantly, "Take care on your journey, and come back to visit us when you have time!"
Emilia, who has never had any friends, has already made Subaru Natsuki her best friend.
Emilia felt a little lost now that her good friend had left.
“We can go see him if we have the chance; it’s not like we’ll never see him again.”
Hao Yun offered some words of advice to Emilia, then turned and went back to his room.
Actually, Hao Yun was quite surprised that Subaru chose to leave. Logically speaking, he should have stayed by Emilia's side no matter what.
However, Subaru's departure had no impact on Hao Yun. The witch's laws within him had long been absorbed by Hao Yun, and there was no hope of him summoning a witch.
After leaving the manor, Natsuki Subaru sighed as he walked a distance away, wondering where he was going.
After some thought, Subaru Natsuki made a decision: he would go and seek refuge with Priscilla.
Subaru didn't go to the capital the day before yesterday, but he unexpectedly ran into Priscilla and even got to know her.
Even if he couldn't find a ally, Subaru Natsuki had already decided that he could go to Lord Rom, after all, he was the man who had accompanied him through the capital.
Full of confidence, Subaru muttered to himself, "Hmph! Hao Yun, let you be smug for a couple of days, I..."
Subaru Natsuki stood frozen in place, surrounded by three men dressed entirely in black robes and wielding sharp blades.
"Are you robbing me?"
Subaru quickly took off his money pouch and threw it on the ground.
"This is all I have left, please spare me!"
Subaru Natsuki, a man of pragmatism, quickly raised his hands in surrender, showing no desire to resist whatsoever.
A person dressed in a black robe spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Kill him!"
Subaru Natsuki started sweating. He was doomed! The other side wasn't going to let him go. What should he do? What should he do?
Trembling all over, Subaru turned and ran without saying a word.
As long as I run back to the manor, I'll be saved. These bandits are no match for Hao Yun.
The three men in black robes remained unmoved, and one of them spoke in a low voice.
"Go and kill him."
The man in black robes gave chase, and Subaru Natsuki felt extremely panicked as the pursuers drew closer and closer.
A man in black robes quickened his pace, and his curved sword landed on Subaru's back.
"Ugh... I'm going to die, am I going to die?"
The injured Subaru fell to the ground. He struggled to get up and retreated as the three men in black robes approached.
"What...what exactly do you want to do?!"
"Kill him! The master said no one can be allowed to leave!"
The black-robed man with a hoarse voice urged the person in front of Subaru Natsuki to make a move.
