Strangers to Each Other

Perhaps very few people know about this?

At this moment, the gray kitten sitting on Fang Li's shoulder appears to be just an ordinary elf, but its true form is a giant beast wielding golden light. It is an ancient Great Spirit who rules over the fire mana and is known as the "The Final Beast of the Eternal Frozen Soil".

This Great Spirit, whether in terms of power or rank, belongs to the absolute top among elves.

In his own words, that is...

"If elves could have a leaderboard, they would definitely be able to find me much faster by counting down from the top than from the bottom."

However, this Great Spirit has now transformed into its current form, concealing its true identity and even its power.

If Puck were to reveal his true form, it would simply be like this; everything around him would be frozen solid.

"However, you can rest assured."

As if to reassure him, Parker patted Fang Li's cheek and said, "As long as Ria is still around, it's unlikely that I'll be able to reveal my true form."

This is the truth.

However, the opposite also proves one thing.

That is, if Emilia is gone, Parker will definitely go crazy.

Fang Li knows what he's saying.

To know the details of the contract between Puck and Emilia.

This Great Spirit, Emilia Emilia treated her like a daughter, simply could not bear a world without Emilia.

Therefore, Puck made a contract with Emilia, stipulating that if Emilia dies, the world will be destroyed.

Knowing about this Fang Li looked at the ancient Great Spirit sitting on his shoulder in the form of a gray kitten and said this with a sigh.

"You've worked hard too."

Parker chuckled at this, but said nothing more.

Of course, they just didn't talk about it anymore.

"I think you've had it much harder than me," Parker said, shrugging. "Given your situation, you probably aren't very popular in this mansion, are you?"

"I guess so," Fang Li replied dismissively. "I don't know what's wrong with the people in this world. Everyone's senses are more acute than anyone else's. They keep saying I have a dangerous smell about me, but I don't know I have that strange smell."

"There's nothing I can do. Your aura is like a knife; just touching it makes my skin sting." Parker flew in front of Fang Li, crossed his arms, stared at Fang Li's face, and said in a somewhat pretentious manner, "I'm a little curious about what kind of person you really are."

"Don't be too curious." Fang Li reached out and pinched Parker's face, fiddling with it like a doll, while smiling indifferently, "Anyway, you don't intend to get to know me well, right? Why not just be strangers to each other?"

Before Subaru Natsuki's Return by Death was activated, Emilia had tried using the name ' Satella ' to avoid becoming closer to others.

Firstly, Emilia believed that given her status as a silver-haired Half-Elf, others would not be willing to develop a close relationship with her, so she should keep her distance from the beginning.

Secondly, as a candidate for the Royal Selection, Emilia was unwilling to involve others in her affairs.

If it weren't for Emilia to Fang Li, Emilia probably wouldn't have even invited Fang Li to the mansion.

Given this, Fang Li had no reason to delve deeper.

"I'm here for my own sake, while you're here to repay a debt of gratitude. That's enough."

As he said this, Fang Li turned his head and looked in the direction of the pavilion, speaking with a half-smile.

Am I right?

Upon hearing this, Emilia, who had ended her conversation with the Mite Spirit sometime earlier, walked out of the pavilion and secretly listened to Emilia Fang Li and Parker's conversation. She gave an awkward smile.

However, at the same time, Emilia felt an indescribable sense of loss.

(I've finally met someone who's willing to accept me...)

However, the other party did not seem to want to get closer to Emilia.

Although this fulfilled Emilia's wish, it plunged Emilia into a deep depression.

On the one hand, they hope that others will not get involved in their affairs and will keep their distance from them.

On the one hand, they hope that others can accept them and fulfill their long-held desires.

This conflicting feeling made Emilia really upset.

Fortunately, Emilia's greatest strength lies in hiding her painful feelings.

Therefore, after shaking her head slightly, Emilia composed herself.

"Originally, I wanted to visit you in the morning, but Rem and Ram wouldn't let me near your room. They're being a bit too protective."

Emilia approached Fang Li and asked with some concern, "They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

"It's not that it's difficult," Fang Li said, pursing his lips. "It's just that I've never seen maids with such strong personalities before."

"Rem and Ram can be difficult sometimes, but they're not bad people," Emilia quickly said. "So please don't blame them."

"Don't worry, I rarely blame people," Fang Li said. "If I really dislike someone, I'd rather take action than blame them; that would save me the trouble."

"Really..." Emilia said with a hint of helplessness, "Don't say such dangerous things."

"What does it matter?" Fang Li smiled and said, "Anyway, quite a few people already think I'm dangerous."

Fang Li and Emilia exchanged a glance and then both smiled.

Emilia, in particular, felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Perhaps, for Fang Li, this was just an ordinary conversation.

However, for Emilia, such an ordinary conversation was extremely rare.

Emilia didn't sense the slightest rejection or awkwardness from Fang Li; he treated her as if she were a familiar acquaintance, his attitude completely natural.

This made Emilia murmur softly.

"That's incredible."

With this comment, the twin sisters slowly walked out from the direction of the mansion in the next second.

Fang Li and Emilia immediately looked over.

Immediately, Rem and Ram reported to Fang Li and Emilia in an extremely orderly manner.

"Please come to my residence, gentlemen."

"Please proceed to the restaurant, gentlemen."

In a way that sounded like stereo, Rem and Ram said the same thing in unison.

"Lord Roswaal is already waiting."
