"Ah." Natsuki Subaru was asked this by Beatrice, and although he knew Beatrice's true identity, at this moment he decided to pretend he knew nothing and said,
"Sorry, sorry, I just thought you were a cute little sister, couldn't help but look a couple more times."
"Little sister? Are you talking about Betty?"
Beatrice's face instantly darkened upon hearing the term "little sister."
"That's right, little sister. Looking at you, you're at most eleven or twelve, right?" Natsuki Subaru pretended not to notice Beatrice's displeasure and continued to say with a grin,
"What, am I wrong?"
"Hmph~!" Beatrice's twin pigtails trembled slightly, clearly angered by his words. She crossed her arms and said coldly,
"A mere human, daring to speak to Betty in such a disrespectful tone. Betty's age is not something a human like you can fathom."
"Oh? Are you older than me?" Natsuki Subaru looked at the petite Beatrice, his eyes widening in feigned surprise. He even gestured to Beatrice's height, which was less than 1.4 meters, and teased,
"No way, looking at you, you're at most an elementary school student."
"~Hmph, a mere disrespectful person, daring to look down on Betty like this."
Beatrice's face became even more displeased, a hint of anger flashing in her pink pupils. With her hands on her hips and her chin slightly raised, her expression carried a hint of arrogance and disdain,
"Betty is a Great Spirit, who has lived for who knows how long. A brat like you, who has only lived for a dozen or so years, doesn't even count as a fraction of Betty's age!"
"Great Spirit? Wow, so you're a Great Spirit! No wonder you're so cute." Upon hearing the term Great Spirit, Natsuki Subaru feigned a surprised expression, then slowly said,
"But, aren't all spirits high and mighty, elegant and dignified? How come you look like a child, getting angry at every turn?"
"You... you human, you're so annoying!" Beatrice stomped her foot in anger, her pink pupils almost spewing fire,
"Betty is not a child! Betty is a Great Spirit who has lived for over four hundred years!"
"Four hundred years?" Natsuki Subaru deliberately covered his mouth in an exaggerated manner, looking at Beatrice's cute appearance and said, "Wow, isn't that older than my great-great-great-grandmother? No wonder you're so irritable, so it's menopause."
"You... you disrespectful fellow! Betty doesn't have menopause, Betty's time is eternal!"
Beatrice was so angered by Natsuki Subaru's words that she almost jumped up, her twin pigtails shaking violently with her movements.
"Haha, eternal time?" Seeing Beatrice's face flushed red with anger, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Then why were you so impatient just now, isn't eternal time enough for you?"
"Uh..." Beatrice was rendered speechless by Natsuki Subaru's words, the blush on her face becoming more obvious. She then bit her lip and said angrily,
"Hmph, Betty won't bother with a disrespectful human like you. When brother comes, Betty will definitely have him teach you a good lesson!"
"Even if your brother comes, I'm not afraid." Natsuki Subaru spread his hands, still looking at Beatrice with a grin and said,
"Besides, I'm just telling the truth, you really are cute."
Hearing Natsuki Subaru's undisguised praise, the anger on Beatrice's face softened a little, but she still said stubbornly:
"~Hmph, Betty doesn't need your praise! You human, you're so annoying!"
"I was clearly praising you, but I still got disliked." Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru deliberately feigned a wronged look, sighed, and said,
"It seems the aesthetic sense of a mere human like me really can't enter the eyes of the great Great Spirit."
"It's good that you know." Beatrice puffed out her flat chest and said very arrogantly, "Betty is a noble existence, not on the same level as an ordinary human like you."
"Oh my, then I really can't aspire to that." Natsuki Subaru shook his head, then looked at Beatrice and teased,
"But, since you're so noble, can you tell big brother here, what do little sisters like you usually like to do? You don't just hide in your room playing with dolls all day, do you?"
"You... What nonsense are you talking about!" Beatrice was a bit flustered by Natsuki Subaru's question, "I'll say it again, Betty is not some little sister... Betty has important things to do!"
"Oh? Important things?" Natsuki Subaru blinked, feigning curiosity, and asked, "Like what? Changing clothes for dolls?"
"You... you disrespectful fellow!" Beatrice was so angry that her twin pigtails trembled slightly, a hint of anger flashing in her pink pupils, "Betty's affairs don't need to be reported to you!"
"Haha, little sister looks cute even when she's angry."
Natsuki Subaru looked at Beatrice and said with a smile.
"~Hmph, Betty can't be bothered with you!"
Seeing that she was about to lose this verbal battle against Natsuki Subaru, Beatrice's delicate cheeks turned slightly red from anger, and she huffily turned her head away.
"Hehe..."
Natsuki Subaru looked at Beatrice's cute, pouting little face and chuckled inwardly.
Indeed, teasing Beatrice is still quite interesting.
Just then.
"Excuse me, guest, the tableware and hot tea are here."
The dining room door was gently pushed open, and pushing the cart was the pink-haired Ram.
The blue-haired Rem followed closely behind, holding a tray with salad, bread, and other traditional breakfast items, quickly and orderly placing them on the table.
Ram skillfully poured hot tea into the cup in front of each seat, the aroma of the tea instantly filling the entire dining room.
Natsuki Subaru picked up the steaming cup of tea in front of him, took a gentle sip, and thought to himself:
Not bad, not bad, truly a dining table full of aristocratic flavor.
This tea is so fragrant it's refreshing. It seems that although Roswaal is eccentric, his taste in life is quite good.
While thinking this.
The dining room door was pushed open again, and a tall figure walked in.
A young man with deep blue hair and a handsome face.
If it weren't for that bizarrely colored outfit and the exaggerated clown makeup on his face, he might even be considered a handsome man.
"Aha——ah, is there——anything good? Gooood——things, gooood——things."
The clown man spoke in his unique tone, drawing out the strange syllables.
Natsuki Subaru turned his head and silently looked at the clown man complaining inwardly:
So this is Roswaal?
He's exactly the same as in the original work, dressed like a clown, and speaking so strangely.
However, Roswaal is an unfathomably cunning old fox, I have to be careful...
