had lived a life of disappointments. She had been betrayed, repudiated, estranged; to her these were natural, expected things. She wanted to be trusted, accepted, sought; but to her these things were impossible. That was why, when Subaru behaved kindly to her, she'd rejected even him, and all the kindness he offered. I...
column of dragon carriages began to weave around, and Subaru earnestly raised his voice. "Stop! It's me! Not an enemy! Stop, please stop !" " ?! Mr. Natsuki?!" "Please stop! It's an emergency! I need to check inside the carriages!" The knight in the driver's seat of the leading carriage realized it was Subaru pulling a...
But Subaru clung firmly to his handholds, gritting his teeth as he endured the pain. The shock wave churned up his internal organs, and it felt like even the powerful roots of the Great Tree would be ripped from the soil. However, the tide of destruction finally began to abate *** Subaru, realizing that at some point ...
tragic results created by his own actions, and the horrific results they'd courted, were all his to bear. Subaru was prisoner of the supernatural power of Return by Death. He had used that power to blaze open a new future. So this cross was his to bear. "...How much have you heard?" "Almost nothing. Julius said I shoul...
fire to sprout from his face. "Subaru, what is it? You're making a strange face." "I was just thinking that Petra's been a big help. I mean, she kept her promise not to leave Emilia-tan alone. She's been a very good girl!" "Eh-heh-heh-heh." As Petra looked up at him, Subaru gently stroked her hair and explained the sec...

"Would that not mean...a future where he marries a valiant wife, skilled in cooking and capable of all domestic affairs, who is also a wonderful and ideal bride?" "Hey, what's that normie sellout garbage about? That can go jump...
didn't believe in yourself?" Subaru's words drew a small gasp from Rem; then she nodded toward him. Inside her, Subaru loomed disproportionately large. Rem, thinking she was very tiny in comparison, must have felt anxious on account of that. Enough not to notice that Subaru had harbored the same worry all that time. Su...
that reason, it shall do you no good to pry." "How strict. Now that we are allies, he surely would not mind your letting a few words slip." Likely, her jesting manner of speaking was her being considerate toward Rem. As a matter of fact, Rem had managed not to sink into a swamp of worry thanks to Crusch's speaking to h...
a blood-smeared youth kicking the knights who had fallen before him. He was a short youth with light-brown hair that went down to the knees. His height was equal to Rem's or even lower; he was probably twelve or thirteen years of age. Under his unkempt hair, he wore tattered clothes over his diminutive frame. His bare ...
When you're feeling despondent, continued silence becomes comfortable, and it is easy to become apathetic and stop your legs. But that was not what the man Rem believed in ought to do. "Did you...need something from me?" "Yes. The others have assembled in the office for some kind of discussion. It would be good to have...

"So the Authority of an Archbishop of the Seven Deadly Sins...huh... Ferris, you've examined Rem's body, I take it?" Rem, sleeping in bed that very moment, had already had all her ext...
fact, I am ashamed at my own audacity in hiding my true thoughts." Subaru, not understanding the reason for Wilhelm raking himself over the coals, could only watch as a question mark rose over his head. In front of Subaru, Wilhelm abruptly pulled an arm out of the sleeve of his jacket. His left shoulder was bandaged; b...
greeted Subaru with a strange tranquility. The clack of his shoes rang out with each and every step. The rather jarring echoes of his footsteps were causing Subaru's unease, but they also helped him stay grounded. When he couldn't even see anything right in front of him, those sounds were the only things that reminded ...

It was Crusch's knight, Ferris, his iconic flaxen-colored kitty ears visible as he leaned out of a dragon carriage. Obeying h...

Hearing it now...from the perspective of the listener, the words sound rather pretentious, do they not?" Unable to help herself, Crusch let a smile slip as she talked about her own past statement. ...

Considering the detail that the clown-looking eccentric had nominated Emilia for the royal selection, it was about time they got him to spill his guts.

"I can't read Roswaal's... I don't really want to think about how Ram will react." The sisters truly got along well. The older sister doted on th...

Betty is not your instructor. If you expect her to politely educate you on every topic, you are sorely mistaken." "Ugh...! Do...
things differently. He grasped with a certain reluctance that the more he said about the matter, the deeper the misunderstanding became. "Is it quaint to think that the more you argue, the closer you are?" "No one says quaint anymore... Besides, I thought people who argue a lot get along poorly, with pretty much no exc...

"When she really wants to hide, it gets seriously rough... What's up with her, sheesh." Looking like he was chewing a bitter insect, Subaru dispa...
Sanctuary right now, dealing with a particular problem child." Thinking back to the girl who accompanied her liege, offering her life to him, Frederica exhaled in melancholic fashion. Her hand reflexively touched the breast pocket of her servant's uniform. "Now then, even if Lady Emilia and others are absent, there is ...

had already limited their options. With no clear way to rendezvous with Emilia, Subaru decided it was best to accept the invitation and play along for the moment. *** Breathing deep, Subaru clenched his teeth and stepped into the ruin. He employed the trick of keeping his right hand constantly against a wall to never l...

the carriage proper. As a result, Subaru punched through the carriage door, sailing in only to have a seat bring him safely to a halt. "Shit. That one was a little too... Hey, Patlash, wait!" Tumbling out of the seat, Subaru looked out of the carriage to see the land dragon roaring and charging the man. With a twist of...
meant martial might, the term powerful was being used in an unusual way. But, given the present circumstances, the chances of that seemed rather high, and they still had no certain proof he was an ally. Subaru had never thought Frederica's telling them to be wary of him would come to fruition like that. "I'll ask this ...
slackened in visible relief. "Hmmm, so that is the older sister of the girl whom you were speaking of. I see... It is quite obvious, but she looks just like the sleeping Miss Rem, yes." Otto, laying eyes upon the girl for the first time, was deeply moved as he murmured. Just as he'd said, in appearance she and Rem were...
clownish demeanor; what filled his voice was emotion that pounded hard into Subaru's chest. The instant Roswaal invoked Echidna's name, his expression looked softer for what might have been the very first time. *** Seeing the side of his face, Ram, attending at his bedside, gently lowered her eyes. Subaru did not notic...
his head as he looked at Ram and said, "Ram, if you feel sorry 'bout that at all, how 'bout some tea?" "Please wait while I head out briefly to gather fallen leaves." Making a sound from her nose at the grandiose request, Ram really did head out of the house. Subaru had to wonder just what she intended to do with falle...
insult to a badge of honor. It is a status highly esteemed back in my homeland. No, I'm serious." Replying with appropriate flippancy, Subaru tried to somehow put a lid on the chaos inside his own mind. Ryuzu was the spitting image of the girl in the forest, but the air she gave off was clearly different. And Ram had f...
the reason why...?" Emilia asked, eyes shaking in bewilderment at the old woman. "We rejected you because you are a half-elf. We do not understand the reason why you, a half-elf, would do this again despite that. That is what we wish to know." "And that you are not a Witch beyond our ability to comprehend." Emilia was ...
to liberation is too far-fetched, I suppose?" "Even if those two are not involved, someone related to them might be. It is best that as few people know as possible...even if one of them has very loose lips, yes?" Subaru couldn't even manage a groan as she drove the implication in like a nail, making it painfully clear ...
was no doubt he was the type who'd rather die than leave his problems for someone else to solve. *** From there, time proceeded to flow. Subaru did nothing and said nothing as he waited for Emilia to return. There was no visible change in Garfiel. Ryuzu continued to stand beside Subaru in silence. When he shifted his g...
you're so naive, Subaru. The day that is today...no, any day, any hour is precious time that will never return again in your life, so today may not be special, but it's special in its own way..." "You can, um, stop now." When Kenichi wedged himself into the conversation, throwing him for a bit of a loop, Subaru sat dow...
saying that with that smug look on your face? Exasperated sighs of lament don't mean anything, you know." He'd meant to paper over the sentiment, but that blow had been an unexpected one. But, as a matter of fact, the assertion was off the mark, because Subaru didn't have any interest in such things at that time. He ha...

hot. Something was welling behind his scorched eyes. "May the blessings of the spirits be with you." His fingertips trembled. He couldn't put strength into his legs. His lungs convulsed, and his soul began to scream. "I think you're the one who's reaaally incredible, Subaru." He covered his face with his shaking hands,...
Kenichi Natsuki's son. Mustering all the meager courage inside himself, Subaru decisively stepped off the beaten path. "Even for me, I totally blew my grand high school debut.

Ignorant of this until now, Subaru had been shallow enough to believe he could just mimic his father to become a popular guy. "Why'd I agonize for all that time, then...!" "Aww, don't worry about it. It's my fault for not no...
into distress from lack of mayonnaise in that other world, he'd used modern knowledge to successfully re-create mayonnaise on that end. Mayonnaise was inseparable from the Natsuki family. It was a must-have item. "But right now, I don't feel like..." "I suppose not." The mayonnaise had SU written on the lid, marking it...
things inside Subaru of which he'd never spoken a word to anyone. Probably Nahoko had seen right through him. If she knew, and she was speaking those words with that knowledge, then...

there's something I want to tell you..." "Mm, you may speak it. I am very interested in whatever you might be thinking." "That school uniform really looks good on you." The Witch's eyes had an inquisitive glint as Subaru pointed and conveyed his impression. For a moment, the Witch blinked at that impression, and then s...
on the desk, and put his forehead to Echidna's. Subaru watched the Witch's black eyes blink in surprise as he pounded his own chest. "Those voices, those smiling faces...every last bit was what my imagination poured into them they're not vases for you to pour your half-baked ideas into. Don't look down on them. Those a...
insufficient strength, his weakness causing failure to pile upon failure, had steeled his heart. "Ohh? I wonder, is Lady Emilia already weeeell?" Cutting short his lingering sentiments at the closed door, he chased Ram deeper into the building. When he stepped into the room farthest back, he was greeted by Roswaal, lyi...
Petra's corpse had stripped his mind bare, how Ram's dead body had carved a hole out of his soul, how Rem's death had robbed him of even the ability to mourn, and how Emilia's death "...You should have been there. If you'd been there, none of that would have happened. So why...weren't you there...?" "Barusu..." The un...
Roswaal gave him the adoring gaze a predator had for his prey. Subaru returned that gaze in enmity before turning his back. The conversation was over. He didn't want to spend another instant in the man's presence. But "I have one last thing to ask you. I'm not sure you'll want to give me a straight answer, though." "W...
permit Roswaal's will to intervene as it had so far. And, there in the Sanctuary, it was Subaru Natsuki's job to prove it. 6 Three days later, Subaru executed the plan that he had mentioned to Emilia. "I must say, I am impressed you managed to persuade Garfiel." Otto shared his thoughts while Subaru checked the conditi...
"Ram...no, Roswaal's probably hiding something, damn it." *** "Emilia?" "Eh? Ah, yes, nothing. No worries." In the blink of an eye, Emilia's gloomy expression vanished as she straightened her back and turned to face Subaru. Then she smiled pleasantly at Subaru once more before she continued. "I don't know how far we sh...
"Ha! What's this good-news business? If it ain't like 'Balulumororoi makes the sun go down,' then no way I'd ever tell the difference." Subaru, in his attempt to bid Garfiel farewell on a positive note, drew the first smile from Garfiel he had seen that wasn't related to his ferocity. However "I still have no idea wha...
take care of your bowels until the next time we meet." It was a declaration of love that had gone astray, the pure affection of a murderer that no one else could understand. As Subaru Natsuki's consciousness grew hazy, that was the only thing that grazed the fingertips of his soul. Hazy, hazy, hazy. Dark, dark, dark. A...
before? Which one it is...doesn't matter! More importantly, if this is after the Trial, then..." When Subaru's mind and reality connected with the speed of a blitzkrieg, his head practically snapped back to look over his shoulder. Inside that claustrophobic chamber, the figure he sought was lying on the floor right beh...
are you the one who's against it...?" "Huh? That surprised I'm not all for this plan? Ain't you an optimist." "Hey, don't get all bent out of shape. If anyone should be frowning and complaining here, it's me..." Last time around, Garfiel was the one who had browbeaten Subaru to take the trial. Yet here he was, shooting...
could you say it one more time?" "The hell you gettin' all worked up for..." Garfiel seemed fed up with Subaru's unexpectedly bashful reaction when Ryuzu raised a hand between them. Then she brought that hand to her mouth as she let out a little yawn. "Young Su, could we leave it at that? The late hours of night are ha...

"I haaad intended to discuss rewarding you for your exploits as well, but...no matter, let's continue. You wanted to discuss your plan to request the freeing of the Earlham ...
way home, and this time, no one would be riding a dragon carriage; it'd be him and Ram mounted on Patlash's back as she ran for the entire return trip. "She's a good land dragon, making up for her all-too-lacking master. I pity her taste in men, though." "I can't say anything back about that. I really can't, but it sti...
his return. Still, this was to make sure everyone made it through the coming danger safe and sound...or at least that was what Subaru told himself. "You seem stricken by pangs of guilt, almost like a proper adult. Take care to remember that feeling in the future." "Future, huh? You're thinking about Frederica just as m...
awaken from her sleep, and to Ram, the reunion was one that genuinely didn't bring back any memories. Even so, Subaru, as the one person left who knew them both, had a single wish. If nothing else, when they reunited, he wanted Ram to feel a pang in her heart, however tiny it might be. "Petra." "Yeah...whoops, I mean, ...
in an odd direction, but the last thing he wanted to do was simply go along with it. "Anyway! I didn't expect the necklace to change anything. In the end, I only wanted it to trigger a different conversation. I'll get to the crucial point." "A crucial point, you say?" "Yeah, the main thing I wanted to discuss What did...
posture straight, as she explained further. "I am saying, I shall yield to Ram's judgment. If you wish to take me to the Sanctuary, that is fine. Though I do not understand how this would accomplish your objectives." "Y-you won't resist...? Why? What's the meaning of...?" "Quite a slow learner you are." Standing beside...
his very meager hand. He fired up the imperfect magic reactor inside of him, causing the blood coursing through him to light up from its heat. "Don't use it," warned Ferris's voice in the back of his head. The instant he crushed his hesitation between his molars, black mist explosively flooded out of his right hand. Le...
Miss Frederica says I'm more helpful than Miss Ram!" Under Ram's cold glare, Petra did not retreat even one step as she pushed her own view. Pressed into silence by the teary-eyed retort, Ram shifted her gaze toward Subaru and Frederica. "Are you saying we have a chance?" "! We know where Rem is! Finding Beatrice is my...
changed circumstances a number of times. Along the way, no matter what actions he had taken, the events that were to unfold were the same each time. He thought that was a hard rule. For example, no matter how many times he repeated events, the Witch Cult never stopped targeting Emilia. For the calamity at the mansion ...

But even if he tried, he would never be able to forget the blow from its claw. *** Its vision was compromised. It had unleashed a wild strike. And yet, that blow was aimed directly at the land dragon's r...
He wanted it to tear at his brain until it split in two. He wanted it to be bad enough that he couldn't think, so he wouldn't have to understand. He wanted it to tear his life away with it. And yet "...What are...you doing?" Haltingly, his voice trickled out. He heard a whisper-like, delicate voice from right beside h...
was a bond between them. Even if neither he nor she would acknowledge it openly, he believed there was something. After all, Beatrice had saved Subaru a number of times during the loop that started at the mansion. It was her presence that had saved his mind, on the verge of breaking as he repeated those days over and o...
the first time, Subaru was seeing them for the third, and the effect of that gap was that Subaru took things far more mentally calmly than he. "So you think I'm too calm about this, then." "Yes, exactly. I do not think it is a bad thing. Just..." " Nah, thanks to you I feel more confident about this. Thanks, Otto." "Eh...
hatched. At the very least, that was how Ryuzu's explanation portrayed it. Therefore, it was strange that Frederica, related to Garfiel by blood, was not held captive by the barrier. "The fact that she isn't means that there's some kind of loophole. If you know of one, can you tell me about it?" "And what if I told ya?...
whereupon Ryuzu stretched and gave his shoulder one good smack. After that, Ryuzu turned toward Subaru anew and spoke again. "That is how it is. I am sorry to have dragged out a fruitless conversation." "...Nah, that's fine. Certainly it wipes out one choice, but it beats keeping one on the list that can't ever be used...
guys are all famous for bein' messed up in the head, y'know." "W ait... This seriously doesn't add up... What are you accusing me o..." "Don't act dumb!! With that much miasma comin' from inside yer body, you wanna say ya don't know? Think that excuse'll work, huh? Like hell, Witch Cultist!!" "H uh?" The claw strongly ...
attackers, Elsa and the Beast Master, on site. As fighting strength for the sake of that, Frederica and Ram just weren't enough by themselves. In the present circumstances, the only people besides that pair that could be relied on for combat power were Emilia, Roswaal, and Garfiel. Roswaal had his wounds, Emilia had th...
the first guy popping up in 'em..." "It is remarkable you can say all that with your throat and body in such a difficult state. Here, water." Otto tendered a metallic canteen to silence Subaru's sharp tongue. Taking it, he practically bathed in it, drinking the remaining water, amounting to half or so of the container....
he saw once more all the deaths he had experienced to date. He had told Otto the truth. It was not in jest whatsoever: In those entire three days, he had not remembered Otto even once. In one sense, this was the trust Subaru held toward Otto. With so many terrible situations piled atop one another, he didn't want there...
his head. He understood Emilia being worried. With Puck not there for her, Subaru was her only absolute ally. That said, if she could make it through the Trial, it probably wouldn't have been reason enough to shake her up that far. For the people of Earlham Village, he'd resolved the demon beast uproar and the Witch Cu...
Garf's demand, he saw no path for Otto to survive without Ram's cooperation. In that case, prolonged confinement would have probably left Subaru crippled. "It would seem Ram's greatness has sunken into you." "Accepting it is off in another dimension, though... Besides, I want to ask you something more. If you're obeyin...
not vanish. However, Subaru bit down the persisting horror with his back teeth, forcing his mind to right itself. Every moment that passed brought the Trial closer to an end, and so, too, Garfiel's return. A sense of duty to finish the discussion before that happened burned within Subaru as he turned to face Roswaal on...
up without being able to accomplish anything like the last time around. He might be able to prevent the calamity at the mansion, rescue Rem and Petra, and even fulfill his goal of improving relations with Beatrice. And yet "...Why does my chest feel this queasy?" If he made an ally out of Beatrice and saved Frederica,...
was still hiding, Subaru, his voice ragged, immediately realized just what it was.

These were not the red lights of torches but the white lights of crystal lanterns. They were guiding lights, showing t...

bone being mercilessly raked by a file. Reddish-black bubbles poured into the middle of his throat, causing him to convulse like a fish out of water. He didn't faint. He couldn't. The pain was too strong for that. The pain was too strong for that. The cruel pain forced his mind to remain awake. Kii, kii, went the count...
Therein rested the supernatural being known as a Witch. "...a, uu" The feeling of oppression grabbed firm hold of his soul, making Subaru recall the initial impression he'd had of Echidna: namely, his terror toward an overwhelming menace outstripping even the White Whale and the Witch of Sloth. And that Echidna, the W...

one would never think a Witch. 5 The little girl had brown skin and a bright, adorable face the very image of youth and innocence. Her deep green hair mixed with big round red eyes. She wore a lovely white dress with blue flowers at its hem and similar blue flower decorations on her head. The young girl was the epitome...

The bigger a creature is, the more people it can feed, riiight?" " Uh, wha?" The thoroughly mystified look on Daphne's face brought Subaru's forceful,...

For instance...if you had a mind to, you could calmly exchange words with even Typhon, provided she said she wants to speak with you. Am I wrong?" With Subaru tilting his head, Echidna tossed ...

he might get somewhere with Ryuzu by pleading that the miasma business was a misunderstanding. "This time gotta bet on that conversation !" Betting everything on a possibility limited to that time around, he forced his once-stopped legs to move. After the first step came down, there was no more hesitation. He ran acros...
it. The issue wasn't the shadow holding him down or anything like that. His inability to move was because Subaru's own flesh and blood would not permit it. Subaru's soul refused to offer any resistance against the shadow. Accordingly, the shadow touched Subaru as it pleased. " I love you. I love you. I love you." Subar...
a way to strike down that Witch. It wasn't pointless. There had to be some meaning in trying to stop her. "Garfiel! Can't you attack her?! Slow her down somehow?!" "Now the idiot asks... Stop runnin' your damned mouth! Me, I've been slammin' every attack I could think of into that thing for ages! Nothin' gets through t...
sorry in advance." That was all Garfiel said in the final moments before Subaru was thrust into the heart of a new battlefield. Not comprehending the meaning of the words, the powerless Subaru was relegated to the rear. Garfiel stood at the head of the formation with the twenty-odd copies lined up behind him while Suba...
he knew. Accordingly, Subaru gave a shallow, cruel laugh, turning a look of scorn toward the Witch. " I'd rather love Echidna and the other Witches than you." *** The instant he made the statement, the Witch's curse-like words of love halted for the first time. And then " Ah." In an instant, Subaru's field of vision a...
anymore, gently embrace her those were the first things Subaru ought to do. Hence, as Emilia gasped in anguish, Subaru gently stretched a hand out toward her "...The hell?" There was a tiny tremble in his fingers as he tried to touch Emilia with them. Wondering what was up, he tried to stop the shaking in his fingers....
Subaru couldn't lower his guard. Especially not right after a Return by Death. The reason for Garfiel's hostility, the Witch's miasma, would currently be at its thickest. How would he move? With Subaru under that tension, Garfiel clacked his fangs and spoke up. "When ya charged in there, I wasn't sure what was gonna ha...
lay behind those pink eyes, and Subaru, failing to glean anything, abandoned the attempt. Garfiel was an obstacle. He was a wall that needed to be climbed over. There was no room to see him as anything more than that. He'd determined Garfiel to be his foe. If Ram was the most appropriate means for overcoming him, he ju...
to underline Subaru's guess, Ryuzu shook her head. "Probably not. This girl is one of those who stand watch over this place. The one who you met in the forest, Young Su, was a different...was no more than one part of the Sanctuary's eyes." "The Sanctuary's eyes, huh...? It sounds like some kind of surveillance net. So ...
