Chapter 25: You're Not Qualified! Not Qualified!

Roswaal spoke up, "This intelligence is very important. We need to increase our guard. Let me go and invite Reinhard as well."

As the master of the mansion spoke, Rem and Ram also became alert.

Surprisingly, it was Puck who flew over to Subaru Natsuki's side: "I didn't expect you, little bro, to not only have such rich combat experience but also possess such a powerful weapon?"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Subaru felt a bit light-headed, immediately adjusting his mindset to explain,

"This was lent to me by the boss to deal with difficulties, it's not mine, not mine."

"With you around, I feel reassured. We'll leave it to you to take care of things tonight for us~"

"Rest assured, I'll..."

Protect?

Subaru felt that using that word wasn't quite appropriate, so he quickly changed his wording.

"I will fight alongside Emilia to repel the Witch Cult."

"But little bro, why didn't you use this weapon when facing the Bowel Hunter?"

"Because at that time, I couldn't use this weapon."

Puck nodded in understanding, "I see."

Using such a sacred weapon certainly had various limitations. Even the Sword Saint Reinhard himself had restrictions when drawing his own weapon.

Thinking about teaming up with Emilia tonight, Subaru, filled with youthful vigor, couldn't help but feel excited, even unconsciously thinking about performing well tonight.

However, before preparing...

Subaru Natsuki casually pushed open a door and saw the familiar little girl happily greeting him.

"Good morning, Beatrice. Guess how many Witch Cultists will come here to cause trouble tonight."

"?"

Suddenly interrupted, Beatrice had a puzzled look on her face, then attempted to drive him away with magic.

But Subaru Natsuki i-framed his way towards Beatrice, dodge rolling through her magic.

"Hehe, I've already figured out the trajectory of your attack, so you lose~ Very good, very good, very good~"

He reached out to ruffle Beatrice's golden hair.

"You! How insolent!!"

Beatrice became angry, but just as she was about to act, Puck's voice made all her anger vanish instantly.

"Oh, little bro, you're having a good time with my sister, huh? Isn't she adorable?"

"That's right! But in my eyes, your fluffy appearance is even more comfortable to touch."

This remark made Beatrice's eyes light up, and she snorted coldly, muttering, "You have some taste. Considering you're my brother's acquaintance, I won't pursue it."

"Mhm mhm mhm~ Beatrice~ Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Not helping!"

If Subaru Natsuki had asked nicely before, she would definitely have helped. But now, no matter what conditions Subaru Natsuki set, she wouldn't assist.

"Puck, if your sister doesn't want to help guard the mansion with us, will she be sad if something happens to you?"

"Huh?"

This statement widened Beatrice's eyes, "Brother? Is something happening?"

Subaru Natsuki, with a hint of sadness in his tone, said, "The Witch Cult will target Emilia tonight, but Puck won't have much power tonight. Without your help, Puck and Emilia..."

Puck also cooperated, leaning on Subaru Natsuki's chest, "Wuwuwu."

"I... I'll help!"

"Yeah~"

"Yeah~"

Subaru and Puck high-fived simultaneously.

Puck didn't know what had happened, but he got along exceptionally well with Subaru Natsuki. At the same time, his rudimentary perception abilities also sensed that Subaru Natsuki should be a good person.

But the pleasant moment didn't last a few minutes. The entire mansion was suddenly filled with alarm sounds.

"What's going on?"

Puck flew out, and as soon as he did, he saw in the distance, the Witch Cult attacking.

Seeing this scene, Subaru Natsuki showed a puzzled expression.

Something wasn't right. It was still afternoon, but the Witch Cult had always arrived in the evening before. Why did they suddenly come in the morning?

"I..."

His mind was in turmoil. Just as he was about to explain, he remembered his experience PvPing with Liu Yuan.

"Whenever, maintain a calm mind. You're not weak."

Calm mind! Calm mind.

Gradually, he calmed down, and unknowingly, a confident smile appeared on his lips.

Come what may, losing just meant reloading. The worst-case scenario was real death, so what? What did winning a battle require?

Personal skills, weapon equipment, and companions.

This time, with so many people believing in him and Boss lending him such a powerful weapon, what possibility was there for failure?

The Witch Cultists who appeared in a frenzy numbered in the hundreds, and no one knew how they had appeared near the mansion.

This mansion did indeed have a magical protection system, but with a wave of the hand from the one called "Sloth," the barrier shattered.

To ordinary eyes, it might have seemed like a simple wave, but Subaru Natsuki saw countless black hands devouring the magic.

"So many?"

"The master has gone to the royal capital and won't return until evening. Rem, will we die?"

"I don't know, but I will protect my sister."

Rem was serious, but she knew very well that even if she were serious, she could only deal with a few Witch Cultists at most, especially with the Archbishop of Sloth among them.

As everyone in the mansion waited for the Witch Cultists to arrive, Subaru Natsuki jumped down.

He looked at Emilia and extended his hand to her, "Emilia... let's fight together once again."

"I..."

Emilia hesitated, but thinking back to that night when Subaru Natsuki fought desperately and Reinhard's evaluation, she nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Puck."

"No problem! But if you die, I'll fulfill the contract."

"I'm coming too!"

Rem knew that she couldn't contribute much facing so many people, but staying inside was pointless. It was better to go out and fight.

The three of them, along with two spirits, got ready. Beatrice saw that Puck was also going and insisted on joining.

Recalling last night's experience, Subaru Natsuki came up with a perfect plan. Before the enemy arrived, he first pulled out a sniper rifle.

"Times have changed, my friends."

Subaru Natsuki just aimed in a general direction and began shooting randomly.

Out of 15 shots, he hit 2 people.

The sudden deaths did startle the Witch Cultists, but didn't hinder their actions, especially with Sloth's hand blocking all the bullets. Killing Sloth using this method was basically impossible for Subaru Natsuki this time.

The Flames of Frenzy? Subaru Natsuki hesitated. Remembering the last time he was burnt to death by his own Frenzied Flame, he decided not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

He was ready to go, but before he did, he handed the submachine gun to Emilia.

"Emilia, as a mage, carry this. Shoot when the enemy gets close. It will fire 25 times. Aim for the head; without protection, it's a guaranteed kill."

"I can't accept..."

Puck reminded from the side, "Subaru has better weapons, and this weapon is more suitable for self-defense for you. Accept it."

Subaru nodded, "That's right, and... if I faint, I'll need you to carry me away. Rem... we might need your and my charge."

"Okay."

Was Subaru Natsuki trustworthy? If he hadn't brought out the Divine Sword, she definitely wouldn't have trusted him. But in this world, simply wielding a divine weapon was enough to prove one's character.

Not only did people come, but also the beasts they controlled. The beasts were incredibly fast, reaching a dangerous area in just a few seconds. Subaru Natsuki calmly raised his weapon, unleashing the Unique ability from the Divine Sword.

"Wave of Gold!"

However, as he wielded the weapon, Subaru Natsuki's mind inexplicably heard a sentence.

"You're not qualified! You're not qualified."
