The mansion where Fang Li is currently located is actually just a villa owned by the Astrea family.
The main house of the Astrea family is in the family’s own territory, not in the Royal Capital.
However, since Reinhard is a royal guard and the current *Sword Saint*, he can use a villa in the noble district of the Royal Capital.
Thanks to this villa, not only Felt but also Natsuki Subaru have a place to stay.
After leaving Felt’s room, Natsuki Subaru led Fang Li straight to his own room.
With a loud slam, Natsuki Subaru opened the door, proudly showing it to Fang Li.
“See this? This is my room!”
Natsuki Subaru’s room, like Felt’s, looked extremely luxurious.
“If this were our world, this would be the level of a luxury suite,” Natsuki Subaru said smugly. “What do you think? It’s big, right? Better than what you have in the silver-haired beautiful girl’s house, isn’t it?”
It must be said, Natsuki Subaru was trying hard to find superiority over Fang Li.
If not for this, Natsuki Subaru would probably have been crushed by the tragedy of his life in Another World.
Fang Li only glanced at Natsuki Subaru and smiled, saying, “I think it should be roughly the same.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Natsuki Subaru waved his finger, acting as if he wouldn’t be fooled, and grinned. “I know you’ve gone to the kingdom’s border. Since it’s the border, it definitely can’t be as good as the golden area of the noble district in the Royal Capital, can it?”
It seemed this was the reason Natsuki Subaru was so confident that his treatment was better than Fang Li’s.
“Look at this luxurious room, this high-quality carpet, and the extravagant meals— it’s all top-class treatment!”
Natsuki Subaru stood in his room, one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the sky, and laughed loudly at Fang Li.
“What do you think? Are you regretting not coming here with me? You’re definitely regretting it now, aren’t you?”
Seeing Natsuki Subaru laughing and boasting like this, Fang Li didn’t have the heart to take away his small pleasure.
After all, Fang Li could easily break Natsuki Subaru’s confidence by saying, “Too bad there isn’t a beautiful girl from Another World here.”
Well, technically, Felt could be considered a beautiful girl, but she wasn’t interested in Natsuki Subaru, who seemed to live a cushy life.
With that in mind, Fang Li shrugged, casually looked around Natsuki Subaru’s room and asked nonchalantly.
“Do you plan to stay here permanently?”
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru’s smile became even more self-assured, as he struck his pose again and shouted, “How can a glorious transmigrator stay as a couch potato forever?!”
However, you have already been a couch potato for a month.
As Fang Li thought this, Natsuki Subaru took out a small notebook from somewhere and showed it to Fang Li.
The notebook’s title was:
“Plan 2.0 for Using Modern Knowledge to Make a Fortune in Another World.”
“……”
How to put it?
It was a straightforward and amusing title that invited a tsukkomi.
And since this was 2.0, what happened to 1.0?
It seems that during the past month, Natsuki Subaru’s Plan 1.0 has already failed, which is a sad reality.
However, Natsuki Subaru remains oblivious to the sympathy he’s receiving and proudly displays his “Get Rich Quick Plan 2.0” while speaking confidently.
“Although the process was complicated, through my hard work, I’ve finally come up with Plan 2.0. With this plan, I’m going to make a name for myself in this Another World!”
“For example—”
Just as Natsuki Subaru was about to open the notebook and share his plan with Fang Li, Fang Li interrupted him.
“Whatever you decide to do, I need to remind you of one thing.”
Fang Li fixed his gaze on Natsuki Subaru and calmly spoke to him.
“The upcoming times might be turbulent. If you don’t want to die, it’s best not to wander too far from Reinhard’s mansion.”
This statement froze Natsuki Subaru’s cheerful smile on his face.
But Fang Li continued.
“I don’t know if your get-rich-quick plan will work, but this world isn’t simple enough for you to survive based solely on that.”
Fang Li looked at Natsuki Subaru and added, “I think you understand what I’m saying.”
Fang Li’s words brought back memories for Natsuki Subaru.
Memories of death.
The cold bite of sharp weapons piercing his body.
The searing pain engulfing his nerves.
The crimson blood pouring out of his body.
His life ending in a pitiable state.
Then, the encroaching darkness swallowed him whole.
The icy feeling spread throughout his body.
“—”
The memories Fang Li forcibly unearthed made Natsuki Subaru’s face turn pale.
But Natsuki Subaru steadied his racing heart and tried to act nonchalant. “Well, let’s not dwell on that. Let’s talk about my get-rich-quick plan…”
His voice was weak so Natsuki Subaru closed his mouth and looked up at Fang Li.
What he saw was Fang Li’s calm gaze fixed on him.
Under that calm gaze, Natsuki Subaru’s emotions began to churn.
Fang Li’s words held truth.
Although Natsuki Subaru was sheltered by Reinhard, sparing him from harm, it only protected him externally, not internally.
“I imagine you have many questions for me?” Fang Li said directly. “It’s time for us to talk.”
A month ago, faced with Emilia’s situation, Natsuki Subaru chose to avoid it. After Emilia’s situation was resolved, Natsuki Subaru avoided the conversation again.
“You’ve been pretending to be reluctant to follow Reinhard, but in reality, it’s all an act, isn’t it?”
Fang Li mercilessly revealed Natsuki Subaru’s true feelings.
“With your thick skin, if you really wanted to accompany me to Emilia’s place, you would have joined us on your own. Kind-hearted Emilia wouldn’t have refused you.”
“But you didn’t do that.”
“Because you were afraid.”
“You were afraid of me.”
