As everyone outside the screen expected, the Bowel Hunter was completely defeated by the Sword Saint.
Subaru stared blankly at this scene...
Then, he cried.
His body trembled, and tears dripped onto the ground.
[[]]
"Subaru..."
Emilia bit her lip, watching the crying Subaru.
How wonderful it would be if I were there to comfort him...
Emilia, the two Rem, and Beatrice all thought.
"What Natsuki-san couldn't achieve even after sacrificing countless lives has been easily accomplished by others... This must be why Natsuki-san is crying..."
Otto, who considers himself an ordinary person, deeply empathized.
"Subaru..."
Reinhardt showed a look of sadness:
"I don't quite understand..."
... ...
[[]]
"Why... why did you help me?"
Subaru pointed the guards in the opposite direction and rushed towards Elsa, who had fled and was squatting on the ground with her back against the wall.
[[]]
"Ah~ yes, that's it."
Elsa outside the screen couldn't help but writhe her charming body, looking at the scene with love.
[[]]
Subaru looked at Elsa, who was covered in wounds and shockingly injured:
"The guards are desperately looking for you. But I pointed them in the opposite direction, so it will take them a while to pay attention here. How are your injuries?"
"It hurts. It really hurts, like I'm going to die... It's wonderful."
"Although I can't understand your hobbies, it would be troublesome if you died. I want to do something for you."
[[]]
"Subaru is..."
Julius muttered to himself first, then, realizing something, continued:
"He knows his weakness, and even if he hates, he wants to increase his strength. One increases strength because of love... the other increases strength because of hate... This path..."
Beatrice compared her original world with this world, a painful expression on her face:
"This path... is a wrong path, I suppose..."
[[]]
In the scene, Elsa heard Subaru's words and said:
"...Can you find the road to the southeast of the slums? That way, I can meet up with my sister, and she can treat my injuries and prepare an escape route."
[[]]
"Ah. She finally mentioned me."
Meili was excited to see herself finally mentioned on the screen.
[[]]
"Sister!? Haha, to call them sisters, how shrewd, hopeless."
Subaru lifted Elsa up, letting her lean on his shoulder.
"I can't figure out your purpose."
"Hmph. I just want you to owe me a favor. It might be useful someday."
"A favor... huh? Unbelievable~ don't you want to kill me so much?"
Subaru was silent for a moment, then said:
"Ah, yes, that's right. I want to kill you very much. Not today, nor tomorrow. But, I will kill you someday."
"Ah~ ..."
At that moment, both the Elsa in the scene and the Elsa outside the scene let out seductive breaths in unison.
"Wonderful. You and I, gathered together because of hatred. Someday, surely, definitely, you will prove what you said to me. This is really—exciting... It's wonderful..."
The two Elsas both showed the smiles of girls in love.
[[]]
"Ah, this..."
Garfiel and Otto were a little confused by this scene.
"What a strange way to woo someone, bro."
Al scratched his helmet, making such a comment.
"A weirdo, but I don't dislike it."
Priscilla fanned herself while smiling.
But the most surprised were probably Rem and the others.
Emilia, Beatrice, and the two Rem were all stunned.
They wanted to show some expression but didn't know how.
[[]]
After a while, Subaru took Elsa to Meili.
"Goodbye, big brother. Thank you for helping Elsa."
Meili thanked him while treating Elsa, while Elsa just watched Subaru leave with love—
"We'll meet again someday, right?"
...
Subaru, to confirm whether he believed Satella had retrieved the insignia, went to the loot house again.
"This is really... unexpected."
The frozen loot house appeared on the screen.
[[]]
"Ah... this is really amazing."
Old Man Rom said outside the screen.
"It seems we had a big battle, Lia."
Puck sat on Emilia's shoulder and said to her.
"It looks like... I went a little too far."
Emilia looked at the screen, slightly surprised.
Then, Subaru confirmed that everyone was safe, Emilia retrieved the insignia, and Felt and Old Man Rom were taken away by the guards.
"Hey, how come I can't get rid of you in this world either?"
Since she was taken away by the guards, Felt will eventually be discovered by Reinhardt in this world, right?
Felt looked at Reinhardt and couldn't help but complain.
[[]]
"Ah, this..."
Subaru suddenly realized that he had no goal.
He helped Satella retrieve the insignia and let her live, so what should he do next?
"Crap. Should I die again and ask Elsa why she had Felt steal Satella's insignia?"
[[]]
"Don't..."
Love yourself more, please, Subaru.
Emilia said softly to the screen.
"So careless about his own life... Subaru."
Julius shook his head at the Subaru in this world.
"Hmph—"
Only Roswaal was very satisfied, he hummed with a drawn-out tone, and also with some regret:
"If the Subaru in my world was like this... then my wish..."
[[]]
"I want to know more about Satella—can you tell me?"
Subaru put his hands in his pockets and called out softly.
Then, as if to respond to the call, rows of black figures suddenly appeared.
Hearing the order, the group of black figures bowed in unison and then disappeared immediately.
[[]]
"Witch Cultists!!"
The two Rems outside the screen shouted in unison.
"Subaru-kun... Subaru-kun..."
"It seems that in the previous loops, Barusu had already met Witch Cultists."
Ram frowned tightly, showing an extremely disgusted look.
"But... but why do they listen to Natsuki-san?"
Otto asked curiously.
Rem realized something.
Subaru-kun's body has the fragrance of the witch, and the smell is getting stronger from time to time. Is it related to the smell?
But anyway, since the Subaru in this world is related to the Witch Cultists, then the Subaru in our world...
Rem was afraid to think about it.
In the end, the Subaru in the scene still didn't choose to commit suicide, probably because he thought it was too much of a loss.
"But... the Subaru in this world has found his goal... to dedicate himself to Emilia-sama."
Julius said so.
[[]]
Then the scene changed, Subaru was in a place that looked like a cave, and a Witch Cultist was kneeling to report information to Subaru, the information was about the kingdom's royal candidates.
Among those candidates, there was Emilia.
Subaru looked very surprised, clapping his hands:
"Royal Selection! Silver-haired half-elf! Recommended by Roswaal L. Mathers! So it's not Satella, it's—Emilia! No wonder she has a noble aura in her gestures."
[[]]
"N... no way."
Emilia was a little flustered by Subaru's sudden praise.
"Lia, I'm very confident in my etiquette education."
Puck advises Emilia to be confident.
"S... speaking of which, how long has it been?"
Emilia asked.
The scene looked like a long time had passed.
[[]]
"So her lying about her name can also be explained! To prevent others from suspecting that I have a relationship with her, it's to keep me away from danger! How cute..."
( Natsuki Rem, outside the screen pouted gently, Rem lowered her head slightly, and Emilia was both shy and ashamed. )
Then...
"—Natsuki Subaru! Beloved believer! Are you here!?"
A familiar, sharp voice sounded.
[[]]
"Petelgeuse!"
Julius shouted in surprise.
That madman, Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti—
The Sloth Archbishop appeared.
