Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 353 Meeting Beatrice

Roswaal can be considered the source of Subaru Natsuki's "suffering" in the anime.

Many of his deaths were caused by Roswaal.

Even the Bowel Hunter was employed by Roswaal.

He possesses a "Gospel" that allows him to "foresee" the future, and he also knows Subaru Natsuki's identity, but he is not clear about the specific abilities of "Return by Death".

But he knew that Subaru Natsuki had the ability to change the world.

Roswaal's true purpose is to obtain "Dragon's Blood" by slaying a dragon at the moment Emilia inherits the throne and makes a pact with the dragon, so as to resurrect his beloved teacher, the Witch of Greed, Echidna.

To achieve this goal, he constantly "reincarnated" among his direct descendants, or one could say he possessed his own offspring.

It's easy to think of Orochimaru from Naruto, and the old bug from the Holy Grail War.

On the "carriage" to Roswaal's mansion.

Natsuki Subaru was begging Emilia not to reveal his identity, as a human from another world could easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Emilia also promised not to reveal it.

"Wow, it's huge!" Roswaal was a border count and one of the few magicians in the kingdom, so his residence was naturally very large.

However, there are very few people inside.

Two people were already waiting: Rem and Ram, dressed as maids.

These two are not just ordinary maids, but rather powerful demons.

"Welcome back, Lady Emilia!" Both of them bowed respectfully.

The king of this kingdom has died, and even his descendants have all passed away. At this time, Emilia is one of the four candidates for the kingdom.

On the surface, their status is still quite high.

Then both of them looked at Natsuki Subaru.

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru was still in a relatively "relaxed" state of mind. Seeing the two maid girls, he felt that this was the true unfolding of another world.

Little did they know that these two maids were very wary of Subaru Natsuki, who had died several times already, and that he carried the scent of a witch.

"Rem, Ram, this is Subaru Natsuki. He helped me a lot today, so I invited him to be my guest," Emilia introduced.

Then he asked, "Is Roswaal home?"

"Lady Emilia, Lord Roswaal is not at the manor and will not return until tomorrow," Ram replied.

Despite being bothered by the witch scent on Natsuki Subaru.

But since they are guests, we should treat them well.

Ram and Rem have prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Although it's not modern times, this world with magic is still very convenient in many ways.

After washing up, Natsuki Subaru lay in bed thinking about what had happened to him.

So what should we do next?

Now that he knows Emilia's name and some of her experiences, he wants to stay by her side if possible.

But let's not think about that too much for now. The snacks in the convenience bag were already finished when we arrived at Roswaal's mansion.

Now all that's left is a mug with a fairy on it.

To be honest, I still don't know what this elf's name is.

Looking at the mug, which looked no different from an ordinary cup, Natsuki Subaru called out softly.

"Little fairy, are you there?"

"are u there?"

......

About half an hour later, Subaru Natsuki was almost ready to give up.

A light appeared in the mug, and Mulu's small figure emerged from it.

"It's already evening, don't you need to rest?" Muru looked a little annoyed.

"Come out here! I just wanted to get to know you! I still don't know your name. I also want to thank you for saving me before." Natsuki Subaru's eyes were a bit fierce, but he was still very gentle.

"My name is Natsuki Subaru, what's yours?"

"Muru, that's my name."

"Instead of thinking about these things now, you should think about how you'll survive in this other world," Muru reminded him.

Of course, it could also be seen as a reminder from Lucci to Subaru Natsuki.

Without a system and power, it would be difficult for Subaru Natsuki to face Roswaal's targeted attacks.

At least until now, he could only rely on the help of others.

However, Muru's appearance immediately caught the attention of a certain elf in the mansion, a blonde little girl.

An elf named Beatrice.

After all, the sudden appearance of a "being" in the mansion, especially one that seemed to be an elf, was bound to attract Beatrice's attention.

"How will I live? Can I ever go back?" Natsuki Subaru asked this question.

"I don't know either, but the power that allows you to travel through worlds is very strong."

Lucci could send Subaru back, though he might need to go through the Hunter World as a transit point.

But who knows if such behavior will trigger a riot by the Witch of Jealousy.

Furthermore, there's no need to send him back, since it's Natsuki Subaru's "fate," and he himself doesn't have a firm desire to go back.

Seeing that Mur was about to leave, Subaru Natsuki immediately asked, "Since I signed a contract with you, does that mean I can also use magic like Emilia?"

He had been curious about supernatural powers for a long time.

No one can resist supernatural power.

"Huh? What are you thinking? We have signed a contract, but you haven't gained my approval yet."

Or perhaps Mulu simply jumped into the mug.

The power of the dragon vein was activated at the same time.

In an unknown space within the mansion, a library and a small spatial passage appeared, from which Mulu fell out.

This is the Forbidden Library, containing a great deal of knowledge collected by the Witch of Greed, Echidna.

This is, of course, also Lucci's goal for this world.

Knowledge is what Lucci values ​​most, and he also wants to know about the other world—a power that doesn't come from signing in.

Is it applicable to other worlds?

"Are you the master of this place? I am the music fairy Mulu." Mulu greeted Beatrice.

"A music sprite?" The distance was too far before, so the perception wasn't clear enough.

But when Muru appeared before Beatrice, Beatrice was initially puzzled as to what a music sprite was, and then she saw through Muru's disguise.

The little sprite in front of me is an artificially created sprite.

Just like her.

Despite her powerful magical abilities, Beatrice, being an artificially created elf, lacks the capacity to condense her own magic.

"An elf I've never seen before, but that power just now wasn't yours, was it?" Beatrice asked.

The question is about the power of the dragon vein that just appeared.
