"Don't worry about these details." Natsuki Subaru waved his hand, staring at Emilia's delicate face, and said very frankly, "Anyway, Emilia-tan, you're the kind of beautiful girl who brightens up any place you go!"
"Pfft—" Emilia couldn't help but chuckle at Natsuki Subaru's words, "Subaru, thank you. You're such an interesting person."
"Hehe... My greatest strength is honesty."
Looking at Emilia's radiant smile, Natsuki Subaru's heart couldn't help but stir, and images of the future began to appear in his mind.
Very good, he was already friends with Emilia now. This was a good start.
So, the next step is girlfriend, and then... marriage?
Right, what should the child's name be?
Hmm? This, isn't this... thinking a bit too far ahead.
It doesn't seem that far. I just want to give Emilia a warm home. Is that wrong?
No mistake!
Looking around the spacious courtyard, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but sigh, hands on his hips, his gaze sweeping over the seemingly endless expanse of green, and couldn't resist complaining:
"Good heavens, this is really huge, at least the size of two football fields. How is this a courtyard? It's practically a wilderness."
Speaking of which, did that guy Roswaal move an entire forest into his backyard?
If I had to clean this place by myself, I'd probably collapse from exhaustion...
I really don't know how Ram and Rem manage it.
Forget it, I won't think about it...
Thinking this, standing in the middle of the boundless courtyard, Natsuki Subaru let out a slight breath and immediately began a set of broadcast calisthenics, preparing to warm up before exercising.
He stretched his arms and began to twist his waist.
"What unusual movements. Subaru, what are you doing?"
Seeing Natsuki Subaru's actions, Emilia blinked, her purple eyes full of curiosity.
"Oh? You don't have the concept of warm-up exercises?" Natsuki Subaru was stunned for a moment, then stopped his movements, looked at Emilia and explained, "It's about loosening all your joints before officially exercising, to avoid sudden muscle strains from sudden movement."
Saying this, Natsuki Subaru made an arm-stretching motion to show Emilia.
"Hmm—I haven't really seen it before, but I know that sudden physical activity is dangerous."
Emilia shook her head gently.
"People in this world don't warm up? Forget it, it can't be helped. How about I teach you? Genuine warm-up exercises from my hometown!"
Natsuki Subaru said with a smile.
After all, warming up before formal exercise is very important.
Warm-up exercises can raise body temperature and promote blood circulation, thus preparing for the upcoming high-intensity exercise and reducing the risk of injury.
This was basic knowledge Natsuki Subaru had learned in his previous world.
"O-Okay, then I'll try a little."
Emilia was overwhelmed by Natsuki Subaru's confident demeanor. Although she was a little hesitant, she still nodded, took a step back, and imitated Natsuki Subaru's movements.
Her movements seemed a bit clumsy, but she was exceptionally serious, trying hard to keep up with Natsuki Subaru's rhythm.
Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but feel happy seeing this.
Emilia is indeed a serious and good student!
Then, Natsuki Subaru walked over to Emilia's side and said loudly:
"Follow me, left hand, right hand, a slow motion! Extend both hands forward, then raise them up, stretching the back~!"
"Huh, no way, what!?"
Emilia was taken aback by Natsuki Subaru's command, a puzzled expression on her face.
"Try to follow my movements, and you will absorb the essence of broadcast calisthenics."
Natsuki Subaru said while continuing to perform standard broadcast calisthenics movements.
Although Emilia was very puzzled at first, under Natsuki Subaru's guidance, her movements gradually became smoother.
By the end, Emilia was completely engrossed in doing the exercises, even showing a hint of enjoyment on her face.
"Finally, raise both hands, victory!"
After finishing the final deep breath, Natsuki Subaru raised both hands to the sky, ending the exercises.
"Vic-victory—"
Emilia followed, her voice a bit hesitant, but her fair face flushed with a hint of excitement.
"Very good, you did great for your first time! I award Emilia-tan the title of Broadcast Calisthenics Beginner!"
Natsuki Subaru clapped his hands.
He didn't expect Emilia to learn so quickly. It seems his teaching skills are quite good!
"Is it over... Oh right, the topic got sidetracked quite a bit. If I forget, I'll get scolded."
Having completed the broadcast calisthenics with full effort, Emilia gently patted her chest, adjusted her breathing, and then remembered her initial purpose.
Then she took out a green crystal from her bosom and showed it to Natsuki Subaru.
Instantly, the light overflowing from the crystal stone gathered, forming a small silhouette on Emilia's palm.
A palm-sized petite body, a tail almost as long as its body, the bipedal kitten spirit Puck, appeared.
"Yo, good morning, Subaru. It's a wonderful morning, isn't it?"
Puck stretched lazily and said.
"Yo, Puck, morning."
Natsuki Subaru looked at the small, cat-like Puck before him.
Who would have thought that this guy's true form was a giant beast radiating golden light, known by humans as the Beast of the End.
Could this be the legendary contrast moe?
But this contrast is a bit too much, isn't it...
"I somehow feel like you're thinking something rude."
Puck stared at Natsuki Subaru, narrowing his small eyes.
"Not at all... I just feel Puck is too cute, cuter than a kitten."
Natsuki Subaru quickly said with a smile.
This guy's intuition is too accurate.
However, from his appearance, Puck is indeed cute.
Its fluffy body and round eyes make one want to pet it.
"Good morning, Puck." Emilia gazed at Puck in her palm and said apologetically, "I'm sorry about yesterday, for making you push yourself."
"Good morning, Lia." Puck raised his small head, looking at Emilia with an unusually serious expression, and said,
"However, I think what happened yesterday was my fault. If Subaru hadn't gone to find that kid Reinhard, the situation would have been dangerous enough to almost lose you. Even thanking Subaru wouldn't be enough."
After saying that, Puck looked up at Natsuki Subaru with his round, dark eyes, then rubbed his pink nose with his small paw and asked:
"I have to thank you, Subaru. Is there anything you want to do? I can do most things for you."
"Well..." Natsuki Subaru thought for a moment, then looked down at Puck and said,
"Can I call you father-in-law?"
