work, maybe. You can become independent even faster, but only through your own efforts, Subaru." With that, Rem laid out an unexpectedly brutal studying regimen. When she had instructed him in Ram's place, her method of teaching was gentle, but her criticisms were merciless. He might have grumbled along the way, but he... |
didn't know how proud and noble the Subaru in her eyes must have been. But the real Subaru was nothing so fine a person as that. Spouting weakness, crushed from adversity, lamenting his own smallness and pathetic misery, defeated and beaten so hard that he was running away that was Subaru Natsuki. "You're wro... I'm no... |
large teardrops welling in them. Of course hearing Subaru's confession had hurt her. Of course listening to his extreme masochism had brought pain to her kind heart. Yet even so, she believed in Subaru. Rem knew all the horrible things within him that he had told her about, and she believed in Subaru despite them. "Why... |
as a man wielding his sword for his master, Crusch, rather than for himself. Subaru was meeting Crusch and her retainers in the reception room of her residence, a place of which Subaru had few good memories. Twice in the past, he had endured bitter hardships there. He was meeting with Crusch, Ferris, and Wilhelm. That ... |
last time around, if only a brief one. He remembered that he'd asked Beatrice to kill him. He remembered Beatrice's face, turning eyes toward him like that of a child whose hopes had been betrayed "Right now...I've gotta set that aside." Subaru somehow brushed off the girl's tearful gaze and faced Rem once more. "So t... |

greater than mist covering their path. The White Whale is a symbol of calamity, and any mist itself is a veritable evil omen. If one could see ahead to know where it would appear, it would be worth an immense fortune! However..." Having clenched his fists and spoken with such zeal to that point, Russel suddenly looked ... |
Those who speak lies have a telltale wind that blows from them there is none of this around Rem." "R-really, is that so? I didn't know that. Had no idea."

Seeing how easy it was to cajole Crusch made the earlier discussion about her blessing rather suspicious. Though after many years to... |
Subaru was unable to grasp exactly what she meant. But as the words slowly permeated his mind, their meaning gradually took shape and became clearer. "Then that means..." "I have misgivings. I have doubts. There are many elements I cannot comprehend, which makes accepting immediately difficult. However " Crusch lowered... |
Astrea. I took the previous Sword Saint, Theresia van Astrea, as my wife, sullying the family line of the Sword Saints that is I, Wilhelm van Astrea."

that came from crushing helplessness, for weakness was a sin that he himself couldn't escape. "It seems like he thought about leaving behind everything and everyone he knew to fight the White Whale completely alone. I think his shame from not fighting it was outweighing the fact that he couldn't win men really are idio... |
pitch-black land dragon before him. It had sharp facial features and yellow eyes. Resting atop the saddle on its back was a leather helmet for dragon riders. The variety of gear didn't differ from that of the other land dragons, but what struck Subaru were its eyes. *** The land dragon's quiet gaze gave Subaru a differ... |
"So as fighting goes, it's like that...but I think I'll be a help against the White Whale." "Let's hear it, then. What do you mean?" "I'm not all that happy about this, mind you...but it seems that I have a peculiar scent that attracts demon beasts." The odd nuance of Subaru's statement once again pressed Crusch into s... |
shall end this pathetic demon beast, unceasingly obeying the command of its dead master." Subaru's chest was on fire. Without saying a word, everyone conveyed the same heat that was burning inside him. The old veterans were looking down; the warriors clenching their fists. The aged swordsman had closed his eyes but now... |
if he pressed the point, odds of a reply were slim. "Incidentally, I've been meaning to ask you something since we set out..." "What? Ask me anythin'. We're buds, bro! If it's not crazy stuff, I'll talk about whatever! And if it is, it depends on what nails I'm steppin' on!" "That part sounds like the Kararagi in you t... |
words to somehow smooth things over and protect Rem. But Rem rejected that with a shake of the head, a thin smile coming over her lips. With Subaru too surprised to close his mouth, Rem turned a sincere look toward him and spoke. "I understand you enough to know when you are lying, Subaru. I have been watching you a gr... |
properly speaking, but after a minute had passed with no change on the field of battle, Crusch could not help herself from being, for one, unnerved. Discrepancies in the information. Mistaken assumptions. Some kind of random accident. There was no change in the silence that had descended over the Liphas Highway; there ... |
a voice called out to him. It was the voice of Rem, her back facing him as Subaru clung to the hips of her small figure. She was already right in front of him, close enough for him to hear her breathe, so she didn't look back at Subaru when she asked the question. "Are you scared?" It was not a taunt but a call for tru... |
cleaver as blood spatter drenched the fur on his face. "We played all our good cards right at the start. That it didn't go down means that thing was just tougher, huh." He snorted out of his canine snout, his pointy ears twitching as he said, "Feels like we scored a point, but it ain't easy breakin' through that thick ... |
beside them until just earlier, similarly turned the head of his land dragon toward the interior of the mist. With the White Whale entering a state of combat, the counterattack would grow desperate. Naturally, casualties could not be avoided. That being the case, this was where his duty lay as he was called The Blue Kn... |
the start of the battle, when they waited for the White Whale to appear in the night sky, when... " Mist." Suddenly, a bad premonition popped up in the back of Subaru's mind. He had no special kind of proof of it. They were still able to use magic within the effect of the anti-magic crystals. When he remembered the var... |
tenaciously pursued Otto's dragon carriage after Subaru shifted over to it. At the time, he'd said nothing in relation to the Witch. So if Subaru gave off an even stronger scent than before, he ought to be prime bait for the White Whale Just after he had that thought *** The land dragon, charging straight ahead, sens... |
came in from the side, bumping their land dragon and sending Subaru and Rem flying. "Whoaa?!" Tumbling from the staggered land dragon, Subaru grimaced from the pain of getting smacked all over. From the voice, he knew that it was Ricardo who had committed the sudden act of violence, but before he could ask what the big... |

The enormous face was greatly dented, and there, the iron ball scored an additional direct hit. The whirling iron ball broke through the White Whale's ... |
the pace, Subaru reseated himself, ending what must have looked like the most disgraceful sight ever. His endurance, never great to begin with, had fallen, and at that rate, next time would be one-sided but Crusch and the others advanced on the White Whale, launching their attack. "Gotta rack my brain... Haaa, shit, do... |
left, opening their mouths at the same time when "Wa !" "Ha !" The howling waves from left and right greatly warped the White Whale's torso, and the shock wave punched through the outer hide to the innards. They bounced off the hardened hide, cracks ran across it, blood flowed out, and the next moment " Zuaaaaaa!!" T... |

of conflict between man and the White Whale spanning four hundred. CHAPTER 5 *** 1 Let us speak of the man named Wilhelm Trias. Wilhelm was born the third son of the Trias family, a family of local nobles in the Kingdom of Lugunica. The Trias family was an old, storied family granted land along the kingdom's northernm... |
*** The girl addressed Wilhelm with a little smile. But Wilhelm responded to the greeting with a simple slap of his antagonistic aura to drive her away. He felt as if he was shooing away an annoying insect. An amateur amid such antagonism would beat a hasty retreat; even a man of skill would likely perceive Wilhelm's l... |
a sea of flame. When the scenery that he had abandoned over five years before faded before the reality of more familiar sights, Wilhelm drew his blade, raised his voice, and dashed into the bloody mists. He cut down his foes, trod over their corpses, and shouted until his throat grew parched as he bathed in blood spatt... |

"You'll protect me?" "That's right." Theresia placed her hand against the flat of the sword thrust toward her, taking a step f... |
long as Subaru was safe. "What happened to...the demon beast...?" "...It went down. We nailed it. It worked out. Everything worked out! I'm...not hurt, either... It's all...thanks to you..." "Is that...so? Then, Master Roswaal and...Lady Emilia...shall...surely be all right..." "It'll work out. Leave it to me. So, Rem,... |
would not be accurate to compare your actions to that of a ferocious, raging lion. However, there is no mistaking that you were the driving force behind this battle. If others should belittle your actions, I swear upon my honor that I shall correct them." Crusch extolled Subaru honestly and with a serious look, without... |

In the face of Subaru's doubts, Crusch shook her head. "That is not a problem... Ferris!" "Yes, Lady Crusch!" When Crusch call... |

"Mimi's younger brother TB! He can do combo boomies with Mimi just like Hetaro! Incredible!" Mimi stuck her chest out as ... |
probably meant a certain red-haired hero, but Subaru didn't know the fine details of what regrets that complete super-human had harbored for many years. Did someone like him really have a past he needed to regret...? At any rate, Subaru had no intention of fiddling with how to take all those words. It was right to be h... |
I take back my belittling of you, from the bottom of my heart." Those were the words with which Julius answered Subaru's apology. Sincerity flowed from Julius's words, and Subaru knew that the resentful, hateful feelings inside of him had melted away with exceptional ease. Understanding this, he dismounted, standing on... |
out, acting like the atmosphere just then had never existed. Subaru couldn't form the words to follow up on that virtual about-face in his demeanor, but with him so rocked back, Ferris put on an innocent look and leaned forward as he said, "In the first place, the Witch Cult guys being weird in the head isn't a recent ... |
about getting everyone in the area to the mansion and holing up there, but..." "Against the Witch Cult, whose members can appear anywhere without the slightest warning, sheltering in place seems a poor plan." "Yeah, we're gonna pass that one up."

and the White Whale, you really enjoy using yourself as a decoy." "Hey, don't say it like I do this every time something comes up. It's only been coincidence up until now.

made no distinction between the lives of the highborn and the low-. That was why they should all strive to do everything they could.

of trampling fallen leaves as he trod along the difficult-to-navigate path. He stepped over sludge and tree roots as he made his way deeper into the dimly lit forest. If he looked overhead, the sun and the blue sky peeked through gaps in the leaves; the breeze blowing through was rich in moisture. With the lukewarm win... |
It was a hurdle he hadn't anticipated at all. And he didn't have a clue about the Gospel the guy was asking about. Was it some kind of code word used among members of the Witch Cult, or a trap for the unwary? If the former, it was hazing the rookie Witch Cultist; if the latter, the madman was engaging in psychological ... |

deflating to think of that as our objective." Subaru spoke flippantly to gloss over his blush, and Julius responded in kind. Instantly, the faces of all those lined up broke into broad smiles, and that served as their opportunity to head off. To annihilate what was left of the Witch Cult and claim victory with all mem... |

"The Iron Fangs are cut out for mountain hunting, so we'll have the knights defend the place." It wasn't exactly a pronouncement from above, but Subaru's declaration reorganized the expeditionary force... |
path, stepped over big tree roots, leaped over a gully at his feet, and walked past mushrooms that looked poisonous, the unease inside Subaru changed to certainty. It can't be!

stated that recovery was impossible. "So who the hell is using Unseen Hands then?!" Subaru's voice was raw with surprise. The pitch-black hands dancing in the sky reacted. Multiple hands moved like the heads of snakes, their fingers turning menacingly toward him. Their numbers were probably thirty an invisible menace i... |
something he had not tasted in some time. When death drew near, it had a scent that only Subaru could pick out. It was this death that hovered around the woman's body as she came to seal Subaru Natsuki's fate. "It is futile to struggle any further. This is as far as youuu..." Responding to the madwoman's mocking voice,... |
But after seeing it repeated over and over, Subaru finally understood Wilhelm's objective in making that move. At the same time, he was in shock. The repeated showers of dirt were his opening moves for making Unseen Hands visible. The hands themselves were invisible to the naked eye, interacting with whatever they tou... |
pleasant, orderly advance had been nothing more than a farce. That was a terrifying prospect indeed. "In the end, this remains no more than speculation. I would like to avoid carelessly spreading unease and unrest among the others." When the unpleasant thought closed Subaru's mouth, Julius shifted his eyes toward the e... |
all present were focused upon him. Each and every one of those sets of eyes burned with the same emotions as Wilhelm's. He felt someone had once told him not to try to fight alone. At a disadvantage against a mysterious opponent, not a single person looked ready to cut and run. Not a single gaze said to Subaru, This w... |
Subaru raised his voice, feeling almost afraid to mount the dragon. But Subaru thought that smile was gloomier than one from Ferris's usual self. Subaru, largely able to fathom the reason why, stood beside his land dragon and lowered his voice. "Sorry, making you act considerate to me like this." " What is it all of a ... |

He lamented that he had stood and faced one hardship with all his being, only to have this happen immediately. Subaru surveyed the area, clicking his tongue at the unchanging scenery. "Heyyy! Anyone there?! Is it just me here... |

When Subaru failed to understand the meaning of her emotion, Ram snorted as she spelled it out loud and clear. "When I think of the letter that pompous messenger arrived with... Calling a blank piece of paper a letter of g... |
If the Witch Cult was even guessed at, the village would surely be in chaos. Perhaps Ram was to be commended for keeping that part a secret, considering that she had thought the Crusch camp was her enemy. "Hey, isn't that...Master Subaru and Miss Ram?" "It really is. So Master Subaru has come back..." One by one, the v... |

I want everyone to at least believe me about that. Please." Accepting Ram's viewpoint, Subaru appealed not to emotion, but to logi... |
had interrupted, but was it not the time to properly clear up the ill feelings between them? With such thoughts in Subaru's mind, his gaze caused Julius to incline his own head. Subaru narrowed his eyes at the handsome young man fluent with words, anguished in the attempt to somehow spit out serious words of his own. B... |
made Kety open his eyelids a crack, gazing at Ferris with unfocused eyes. His lips frailly struggled to move, but Ferris's power was supreme. He apparently couldn't move at all. "Ferris, be careful. If he is a Sloth, even if he can't move his limbs..." "He can still use his power, yes? That's why I have you watching, S... |
nodded, and Ferris winked. Acknowledging their mutual roles, the three instantly separated. Subaru and Julius were to wipe out the Sloths; Ferris was to bolster the knights and villagers and form a defensive line at the mansion. "Now then, stand up! We'll head to the mansion and hold out there. Run, run!" With Ferris's... |
Devil was still unconscious when his lips faintly moved. The way his anguished breaths held increasing anger toward their foe felt ghastly to Subaru. It was almost as if he was subconsciously trying to tell them something "Wilhelm?" "Same...ne per..." He couldn't completely make out what the trickling voice tried to s... |
village square, flipping over as she sailed into a half-destroyed house. The glass window made a sound as it shattered; the house, unable to take the blow, was smashed, and dust slowly rose from it after. The blow, even greater than he had imagined, sent Subaru leaping to glom the land dragon's head and rub her nose. "... |
as she ran, making herself a difficult target even without pulling farther ahead. Subaru wondered how arduous it must have been for his steed to go at high speed down a steep incline with a wounded body, but no matter how much his head might ponder, an answer would not be forthcoming. "Do you not know when to give in? ... |
to Patlash. The land dragon looked pretty beat-up from the furious tumble, bearing countless wounds over the entirety of her body. And yet, when the land dragon sensed Subaru's approach, she stoutly rose to her feet. "Sorry, Patlash. I really want to give you a break, but I still need you." *** When Subaru declared he ... |
could not catch sight of the fists. But she had ways to defend herself even without seeing them. She surrounded herself with a body of icy mist, dodging when she sensed outside intrusion. Puck had suggested the method, and with his capabilities, it was far from impossible to pull off. "I'll get close and hit him right ... |
surprised and exasperated at the fact, Ferris immediately looked back and said, "Subawu? He's right h " He ought to have been rooted to the spot, hemming and hawing over what to say to Emilia. And yet " Subawu?" When Ferris looked back, Subaru Natsuki was nowhere his eyes could see. 4 Clutching his head, he barreled t... |

You had a crazy look in... |

As Ferris said, the soul being transferred would bounce off the Gate if it is not highly similar. Besides, even when one soul is laid over ano... |
"Ah, I don't think we can rely on that, meow." Though Ferris casually inserted himself into his explanation midway, Wilhelm paid no heed and explained to the very end.

book resting atop the blood trail Petelgeuse had left while crawling. " His Gospel, huh?" He must have dropped it in his dying moments, for the pages of the Gospel were sullied by blood and grime.

The dragon carriage leaped as it rolled over tree roots; Subaru clenched his molars as they headed down an atrocious path once more.
