Emilia told everyone all about her identity and the recent situation in the Kingdom of Lugunica.
The former emperor suddenly passed away, and other royal family members also suddenly died from a strange illness. Lugunica is now being managed by a council of wise men, consisting of several respected civil officials.
As a nation that has a contract with the Divine Dragon, they must follow the prophecies of the Dragon Stone and find the five witches chosen by the Divine Dragon, and then choose the next king from among them.
The candidates chosen by the Divine Dragon will react after touching the emblem.
And Emilia is one of the candidates.
At this moment, the Divine Dragon Emblem in Emilia's hand was emitting a faint light.
"I see! No wonder you wanted to get the emblem back so badly, Emilia!"
Natsuki Subaru said, finally understanding.
"Tch, it's just making the emblem glow, I can do that too."
Aqua grumbled softly, a little unconvinced.
She had always been a little annoyed with Emilia.
The reason was simple: Emilia also had healing magic.
Aqua can't use her goddess powers right now, so her healing magic is useless.
She was worried that Satou Kazuma would think she was too useless and replace her with Emilia.
Absolutely not, no way!
Satou Kazuma, on the other hand, was secretly delighted.
He hadn't bet wrong after all!
Emilia really was a noble person!
She's one of the king candidates!
If Emilia really becomes king, maybe they can all live the good life too!
Although Satou Kazuma certainly wants to go on adventures, it wouldn't be bad to live a carefree life!
But...
Satou Kazuma turned his head slightly, glancing at Aqua beside him, and a thought came to mind.
A candidate chosen by prophecy can make the emblem glow?
Maybe...
He could also package Aqua as one of the candidates?
After all, Aqua has the power to make anything she touches glow.
"Emilia, have the identities of all the candidates been announced yet?"
Satou Kazuma asked.
"No, including me, there should only be four candidates whose identities have been confirmed. There doesn't seem to be any information about the last one yet."
Emilia shook her head.
"I see."
A meaningful smile appeared on Satou Kazuma's face.
"I don't know how to thank you all. If you're willing, I sincerely invite you to come with me to the our Mathers domain. I and Lord Roswaal will treat you well!"
Emilia said very sincerely.
She had already explained that Roswaal L. Mathers is Emilia's supporter as a candidate for the throne, and is also Lugunica's chief mage.
"Will there be yummy food there!"
As soon as she heard those words, Aqua, who had been a little annoyed just now, had a light shining in her eyes.
"I'm sure there will be something you'll like!"
Emilia said with a gentle smile.
"Kazuma! Let's go now!"
Aqua looked impatient. She had been feeling a little threatened because Emilia also had healing abilities, but after hearing about the good food, her attitude changed completely.
"Wait a minute..."
Natsuki Subaru interrupted them immediately.
"I, we still have to go somewhere!"
What Natsuki Subaru was talking about was Felt and Old Rom's base.
He knew very well that if they left like this, Felt and Rom would probably still be attacked by Elsa. Natsuki Subaru couldn't just stand by and watch.
In the previous loop, Natsuki Subaru could also feel that Rom and Felt weren't bad people. They didn't even know what the emblem was. They had only accepted Elsa's offer to save money and escape the slums.
"Where do you want to go? Do you need my help?"
Emilia asked curiously.
"We need to go to..."
The words were on Natsuki Subaru's tongue, but he didn't know how to say them for a moment.
After all, as far as Emilia was concerned, Felt was the thief who stole her emblem. What's more, he couldn't talk about return by death.
He was worried that Emilia would have a heart attack after hearing about return by death, just like Satou Kazuma had before.
At that moment, Satou Kazuma spoke up:
"I think we should go to the base of that thief from earlier. According to our investigation, her name seems to be Felt."
"While stealing is wrong, since the item has been found, I don't really want to pursue it any further."
Emilia shook her head, looking in the direction Felt had run. After all, she seemed to be from the slums, and maybe she was just forced to make that choice to survive.
"I think there's something strange about this."
Satou Kazuma explained,
"Although this is proof of identity, this emblem looks very ordinary and not valuable. Also, Emilia, your status as a candidate shouldn't be public yet, so they probably don't know what this thing is. But Felt's target seemed very clear, so I don't think things are that simple."
"Kazuma, do you mean they deliberately wanted to steal this emblem?"
Emilia's expression gradually became serious.
"That's right, so I think this matter needs to be investigated."
"Lia, I feel like this person makes a lot of sense."
Puck turned to Emilia and said.
"Okay, then please lead the way, Kazuma!"
Emilia also nodded in agreement.
Then, the group headed towards Felt's base.
On the way, Natsuki Subaru was still worried about whether there would be any danger in dragging Emilia into this—
But Satou Kazuma quickly explained.
They didn't need to worry about Emilia's combat power at all.
In the first loop, when Satou Kazuma was asking around about the Demon Lord, he saw several huge ice cones inserted into the wall on the edge of the plaza.
Based on the information at the time, Satou Kazuma was able to determine that it was the magic Emilia used to chase Felt.
Although Elsa was agile, according to Satou Kazuma's observation, she didn't seem to use magic, just pure physical skills.
With Emilia's help, dealing with Elsa shouldn't be a big problem.
