wonder...?" "Hold up! I won't let anyone trash-talk Shamak, even if it's you, Beako...!" "In all seriousness, what happened to make Subaru this obsessed...?" Sighing deeply, Beatrice thrust the tip of her finger at Subaru's face even as he got all worked up. "Shamak forcibly prevents the spell's target from sensing the... |
around us think we did." When Subaru posed his question, Beatrice also displayed signs of surprise in her reply. Lowering his gaze to see for himself, Subaru concurred with what Beatrice had said. The people in the square ahead of them were all looking at Subaru and company or strictly speaking, at Emilia after she'd s... |
was, Beatrice jumped onto his back. He supported her light body with his hands as the throng came rushing at them all at once. "Emilia, buy us some time, please!" "Don't expect me to do anything too crazy!" Upon hearing Emilia's dependable reply, Subaru sprang backward to escape from the mob. Fortunately, the movements... |
one! Bonds are forged by our shared feelings, so that we might experience one another's joy and sadness! That is why this ending has been preordained! O pitiful half-demon, doomed to never obtain love here, you shall burn!" "...What love?" "What?" As Sirius crowed over the turning of the tables, Emilia's words brought ... |
you for your opinion Now burn to ashes and begone!!" The instant he had the thought, Regulus stood there as a fire resembling an overflowing waterfall assailed him. The ferocious heat wave from the apocalyptic inferno enveloping the square made Subaru cover his face. Even though Regulus had introduced himself as a fel... |
if they couldn't connect. Annoyed by that appraisal, Regulus adjusted his grip on Emilia. "What petty trickery... What if you harmed my lovely bride, flailing around like that? Even without someone teaching you manners, is it not natural to treat girls with kindness? Are you incapable of even that?" "You just can't sto... |
hope for a breakthrough dashed, the situation had turned into a three-sided battlefield. That said, the side in the worst state was, without a doubt, Subaru's party. Despite surviving longer than in any other loop this time around, his failure to acquire any information except how dangerous their enemies were left him ... |
in the employ of the Priscilla camp doing there? No, to begin with, where was he? Then just as that question occurred to Subaru "Aah! Subawu woke up, didn't he?! I told you to call me if he woke up, meow!" A loud voice rose as someone rushed over with a swift patter of feet. The newcomer thrust a finger not at Subaru... |
I owe you." "You are very welcome, meow." When Subaru piled on the thank-yous, Ferris gave a curt reply and finally took his hands off Subaru's face. "Al, you were a huge help, too. You carried me and Beako all the way here, right?" "Yep. By the way, I wanted you to thank me properly, too. That said, there's someone el... |
him, Subaru could only conclude that his doubts about Kiritaka's ability had been misplaced. But if that was true, then just how important was Liliana to Kiritaka if she was able to provoke him that much? He brushed those pointless thoughts aside when Crusch called his name. "Master Subaru, it was immediately after hea... |
who wounded me along with the other people in the square; Greed, who carried off Emilia; and Lust, who's apparently broadcasting from the municipal offices... An all-star team of assholes." "You seem unexpectedly calm about this, Natsuki, even though Emilia was kidnapped and everything." "That's exactly why. If losing ... |
were sayin', the most famous Witch was sealed away and all, but there were other Witches, too, right?" "There are beings besides the Witch of Jealousy who we call witches as a term of convenience. During the Demi-human War, magic users cooperating with the Demi-human Alliance were often called witches as well, and they... |
this came in what was, to all concerned, the worst of all possible forms. " Who goes there?!" Abruptly, Wilhelm shouted sharply toward the entrance to the conference room. As the Sword Devil readied his now-drawn blade, Subaru and the others turned in the same direction. An instant later, the door practically burst ope... |
in his chest dissolve and go away. He could tell that his competitive spirit, presumably dampened by humiliation and a sense of defeat, had defiantly rebounded. "...No one becomes the strongest overnight. Me, I'm still in the middle of climbin'." "Oooh, that hill to become the strongest sounds really, really tall!" "He... |
herself, give or take right around the age when kids got too big for their britches. Taking Garfiel for a street punk based on appearances alone, she'd challenged him while wringing out all her courage with tears in her eyes. She was probably doing her best to divert attention away from her little brother. However, thi... |
any objections as he tried to forcibly drag the girl out with him. Liara made a sad face at Garfiel's assertion, whereas her daughter took the opportunity to stick her tongue out at him as she watched him go. As for the little brother "Don't go, Gorgeous Tiger!" Grabbing onto Garfiel's sleeve, he tried to bar Garfiel'... |
the last thing he wanted to be asked, Garfiel slowly shifted his gaze from the sky back to the ground, and then finally to Galek. Galek looked at Garfiel with quiet, unshakable resolve in his eyes. Even Garfiel wasn't insensitive enough to miss the significance of those words and the emotions invested in them. More tha... |
Go wash it off at some waterin' hole somewhere." "Mm, isn't it fiiine? I'll change when we get back to the inn... I didn't return yesterday, so the lady's gotta be real mad! Hetaro and TB will probably be crying!" "...Sorry about that." "Don't worry about it... Mimi told Garf he's a good, good boy and let him cry himse... |
the city's everyday rehearsals trained them; the surrounding people began leading the way toward the nearest shelter. The citizens guided any outsiders unfamiliar with the procedures. The people close to Garfiel and Mimi called out to them, too, but the pair declined, hurrying to link back up with their comrades. If th... |
I'll rip this asshole's head off alone if I have to!" "Garf!" Shaking off Mimi's grip, Garfiel raced down the street. Rounding the corner, his vision opened up. City hall was right before him, and when he laid eyes on the square that led to the building a tragedy awaited him. *** The scent of blood was so strong that i... |
blessing of the earth spirit to make the ground beneath his feet explode. Sending blood and gravel flying as he flew across the gore-drenched battlefield helped interfere with the enemy's coordination. The sudden change in footing had caused the woman to lose her balance because of her light weight. A bestial claw, sha... |
After all, the world was not so forgiving. There would be a price to pay for his errors but the bill would come in the most loathsome way possible. "Ferris, what's the matter...?" Sensing that something was wrong, Subaru suddenly asked a tentative question. In front of him, the treatment to save Mimi's life was still u... |
all heard, the Archbishop made a second broadcast. The lives of the hostages at city hall may not have very long." One of their group raised a hand and shed the jacket of his white suit as he kicked off the conversation. He was a man with meticulously combed hair and an elegant face however, his expression was taut. Th... |
difference in height. "That was a good howl. A man never goes back on his word. Now stand up and fight." "Yeah...yeah! Damn right I will! I'm gonna do it...!" Garfiel howled as if he was tearing into something with his jaws as the light returned to his clouded eyes. There was some bravado at work, but now angry, Garfie... |
no point. Am I wrong, boss?" When called upon, Ricardo replied without hesitation. From his low growl, it was clear there was no one capable of calling a halt to his determination to fight nor was there anyone who failed to comprehend the feelings urging him onward. With a click of his heels, Julius straightened his ba... |
I still think this is the best call. I do feel sorry, though." "No need to say sorry to me. You should just do what you want, Bro. I'll be doing the same Ah, I will give ya one piece of advice, though." "Advice?" When Al abruptly raised a finger and said something unexpected, Subaru cocked his head. Then in a voice th... |
in form, like mud dumplings made by little children. They were large enough that Subaru couldn't comfortably put both arms around one, and there were at least twenty of them. The flesh piles of unknown origin formed a sporadic line. The reception put everyone's footsteps out of kilter " It's them!!" Immediately after,... |
Checking the heft of his knight's sword, Julius peered up at the dragon overhead as he commented in a quiet voice. Mentally agreeing with those words, Subaru saw the pair of sword fighters down on the surface apparently stiffening from awe at the appearance of their comrade, the winged dragon overhead. The two of them ... |
swelled up, bones broke audibly, torn tissues mended, and Capella's destroyed flesh repaired itself with swiftness that was a far cry from any norm. The speed of this healing ability made her cells seethe, vaporizing the blood coursing through them and causing it to rise as a ghoulish red vapor. "So are you satisfied n... |
cold without much fanfare. Still biting the tip of the whip, Gluttony the one who had presented himself as Roy Alphard waved his hands in the air as if appealing to the audience. Faced with this foe, Subaru could feel his thoughts boiling. This Archbishop of the Seven Deadly Sins was the key to awakening the still-slee... |
lowly scheme, in which she cunningly used a hostage in the same way that Wrath had. In the end, the Archbishops of the Seven Deadly Sins resorted to similar means to make their opponents falter. He'd been defeated by the same ploy before, and as a result, Emilia had been whisked away from him. "Uooooh!!" With that fact... |
been slapped by the hand of a giant, Subaru skipped across the floor, taking a desk in the room with him as he tumbled away. Completely battered and beaten up, Subaru came to a stop when he bumped into the far wall. Coughing, he lifted his head, wondering what had happened. That was when he saw "Bwa-ha, what's with th... |
and down and down!" "...Just...kill me now." "Hah? Why? I'm all about making people love me. I wouldn't even dream of doing something so barbaric. Even if you're a completely useless sack of meat, you have value so long as your love is focused on me... My desire for recognition is just a tiiiny bit stronger than most p... |
throat, but it was impossible for Subaru to reply. In a state close to death, a point where even pain was a vague concept, he'd received a sudden shock. The black blood that had been poured onto him wriggled on top of Subaru's wound, ever so slowly penetrating deeper into his body. He was being overwritten by something... |
I want you to answer me straight from your heart. It is very important for our future." *** The bizarre level of intensity made Emilia hold her breath as she maintained her silence. Regulus smiled, perhaps taking Emilia's silence as tacit consent. As he smiled, he asked, "Emilia, are you a virgin? That is the only trul... |
of Lugunica. During her time there, she met with Crusch and Felt, two other candidates who had also received invitations from Anastasia, and they all enjoyed the welcoming, peaceful atmosphere. The next day, after a rather tense breakfast, she set off into town with Subaru and Beatrice, running into the Songstress Lili... |
and then leaped to the window of the changing room. Searching for the source of the noise, she saw something unbelievable. "That's...the floodgate?!" Her lips quivered, and her purple eyes opened wide as she watched a huge floodgate one of the massive devices that controlled the flow of water in all the city's waterway... |
first came from the realization of how skilled she must be to do something like that with a fan, and the second came from the realization that she was the kind of person who could slice open someone else's leg with zero hesitation. But both thoughts were erased by the even greater shock of what happened next. The cut o... |
we can kick those assholes out of the city for good." "Can you really do that?" "That isn't the real question. It's whether we do it or don't. And I'm not about to choose don't. Whatever we do, though, priority number one needs to be rejoining the crew. What are you going to do?" *** There was a flame dancing in Prisci... |
"I see, he's not here, either." Priscilla was cast from a different mold, though, able to carry herself without any hesitation even in this uniquely oppressive environment. On the one hand, it was certainly a regal quality to remain so unaffected by one's surroundings, but it also did nothing to ease the fear and uncer... |
goal as well in the process. "What's that look on your face?" Priscilla looked over at him suspiciously, but Subaru waved it off with a vague "It's nothing" and a sigh. But he felt like he understood. And that was enough, given the situation. Taking a deep breath and filling his lungs, Subaru looked out at the now-stab... |
there, right?!" Other than the Iron Fangs members there as guards, the vast majority of the people at the company had been noncombatants including Beatrice, who was in a coma, and Mimi, who had sustained an incurable wound from the blessing of the grim reaper. Hetaro and TB shared the burden of their sister's wound and... |
that threat at the moment. If they were really serious, they could have just left the gates open to begin with. But they had not done that. There had to be something they wanted more than they wanted to submerge the city. "But I'm not some witch, after all. I'm magnanimous. Like the loving mother you never had. So in l... |
know." Nodding to Subaru, Wilhelm called to Ferris. He violently wiped his face with his sleeves and stood up, acting like nothing had happened. He reached his hand out to Subaru's body, examining him as he stood there, still shocked by the scene he had walked in on. Finally, Ferris peered into Subaru's eyes. "...Yeah,... |
what is, even Ricardo said the scent was gone or too muddled together with everything else. It's funny that Julius was the one to find you when he was originally just going to the Muse Company." "So then Garfiel's still running around town without knowing anything?" "I told him to come back and check in here once every... |
given the situation, I'm the one who needs everyone's help the most, so it's natural I lay my cards on the table first," Subaru responded with a shrug. "...Yeah, they really are the only ones who benefit from us holding back..." Anastasia's soft response had a heaviness to it, but before Subaru could probe further, Ana... |
turned the shards of glass scattered around the room into a deadly whirlwind. The bandaged creature absorbed the full brunt of it with a groan and fell back. The ceiling cracked between the monster and Anastasia, and two shadows fell to the ground two small figures, orange ears and tails standing on end, the cat siblin... |
said it was burned?" "Yeah. There were two books, and they were both burned. So it shouldn't exist anymore." "You keep saying 'exist.' Where'd you hear that?" "...From the Witch who made them..." Subaru's face screwed into a scowl. Anastasia's eyes widened at his response. She chewed over the word Witch for a moment, a... |
the broadcast. Between that and Sirius's attack on the Muse Company while they were going after Capella at the tower, despite their not making any effort to work together, they'd still managed to create the worst possible duet. And because of that, the townspeople's will had been broken, and they were getting pulled in... |
shrug. Given the situation, Subaru was hard-pressed to imagine whom the message could be from. "Messenger? Who would send a message in a situation like this...?" " It's from your precious, precious princess." " ?! From Emilia?!" Subaru was thunderstruck by Al's startling revelation, and he stared wide-eyed as if questi... |
disappeared from her face, and she stood up and adjusted her hair. And then she began to clean up the destruction wrought by a wave of Regulus's hand. "Wait! This doesn't make sense at all! You were almost killed just now!" Emilia took issue with how #184 accepted the violence of just a moment before and moved on to an... |
not, that I can see your tower quite clearly just across the city from here?" Regulus said, suddenly throwing the window open. Just beneath the window, Emilia stifled a shout at the sudden movement. She held her breath, praying that he would not notice her below as she focused on what he was saying. Fortunately, he see... |
eventually does." *** That was unmistakably how she truly felt. She was absolutely sure that Subaru would come save her. But she was also determined to not just sit back and leave everything to him. "Please, Al. I'll be sure to apologize to Priscilla later for asking for your help with such a selfish favor..." "...You ... |
turn everything around, General?" "Yeah, something that might have a decent shot Do you know how to use this metia, Anastasia? Or if not you, does anyone else?" Subaru asked as he looked over at it. "...Something like this wouldn't be too hard for me to get going," Anastasia responded. Subaru nodded to himself as he c... |
the shelters in the city "...Ummm..." As Subaru struggled with all the options being shot down after they'd finally come up with a way to deal with Wrath, Garfiel raised his hand. His clear green eyes widened as he looked straight at Subaru. " Is there any reason you can't do it, General?" "...Huh?" Subaru was complet... |
trembled as he repeated the nickname like an incantation. "You aren't making any sense at all." Smiling wryly, Subaru turned back to Anastasia and Julius. "Let's do this, Anastasia. If you think my voice can reach the people, then I'll do it." "...You sure? If you choose to be the symbol of hope all by yourself..." "It... |
me to do this before I agreed to talk to you like this. I still think this is too big, too important a job for me. If I'm being honest, I think there are probably other people who would have been more suited to talking to all of you like this. In fact, I'm sure of it." His voice was wavering as he spoke, as if showing ... |
raised their head had responded. Their cries struggled against the sadness, the weakness, and the fear that rested in their hearts. If that had been what the boy was planning, then they had played right into his hands. But why should she care?! If that weak, trembling voice, that unreliable rebuke, that meager encourag... |
rubbing her scarf. "If anything, I'm worried you inspired them too much, and people might try to do something unwise. Even we felt the effects up here, thanks to Wrath's ability." "When you put it that way, it sounds more and more like a lie... If it were true, that would be some blessing of eloquence–level performan... |
it all... Even so, I have a general grasp of the situation." "Thank you, Otto. But it is my family's problem, and it involves Lady Felt as well. This is a difficult subject for me, but I should be the one to explain." Reinhard shook his head, and then, after pausing for a second, said, "First of all, I've said it many ... |
a child, but I doubt actual age has any bearing on their appearance." Otto's description matched with the Roy Alphard Subaru had seen. He didn't want to know the standard for selecting Archbishops, but Gluttony had been a child. A child whose arms and legs were not fully grown and who had clearly never finished maturin... |
the cultists. Seeing that, Julius shook his head. "Apologies, that was wrongheaded of me. Naturally, I did not mean to blame you. Their crimes are their own, of course, and they are the ones who must atone for those crimes." "I agree." Otto nodded. Then, faced with Subaru's doubts, Otto looked him in the eye and said, ... |
with a joke as he waited for Al's response, trusting that in the end he would just crack wise and give in. But " If that's really how you feel, then I'm not against helping out." There was no intimacy in Al's voice as he brushed Subaru's hand away in seeming annoyance. *** "Uh..." Subaru felt a chill down his spine. T... |
sent it out to be restored... I'm sorry for my selfish actions." Otto lowered his head and apologized. Subaru had nothing to say, since he or Emilia also should have noticed the things that Otto had been worrying about. He was struck again by just how much Otto was saving him day in and day out without his even realizi... |
very large. Originally it had been a break room, and it was divided into several little spaces with beds for naps. And Crusch was in the one farthest to the back. The woman lying on the simple bed noticed Subaru. "...Sir Su-baru?" Her lips moved, calling his name. In trying to respond, Subaru felt his throat clench. St... |
a little longer." Turning away, Ferris sat down in the chair next to the bed. Subaru tapped his shoulder lightly, glanced at Crusch's resting face, and then left the room. When he entered the hallway, he was greeted by Wilhelm, whose head was lowered just like when he had left. Perhaps realizing what had happened insid... |
starts could hardly be called the action of a person fated to play a leading role. I suppose it was just a misjudgment on my part to have expected more." Priscilla and Wilhelm were clashing dangerously from word one. Ordinarily, it was a situation to just let something like that go, but for various reasons, Wilhelm was... |
right, Princess? Let's just let it be now... Princess?" "...It's nothing, I was just caught unawares by a thought I had not considered." *** "What, are you sulking? How cute for such a hulking man." "...It's not that at all." Looking away, Al propped his head up on his arm as if it was no concern of his. Priscilla harr... |

Because of that, on the biggest stage of this huge fight, I'm here desperately trying to repay the debts I owe other people instead of being able to fight for my own camp...so please!" Garfiel's fangs were trembling as he accepted his own weakness and the results of his... |
into the bosom of her small outfit, they gave the last one to Wilhelm. It was Julius who made that decision, sliding it across the table to the older gentleman. "In consideration for the differing number of enemies in both locations, it would be best for the Lust team to have a means of instant contact. I don't believe... |
doesn't know how to give up." Ahhh, it really is not fair at all. Trembling and meandering but obviously his best effort, it made anyone listening almost want to cry. It almost felt like the speaker's pulse could be heard through his voice, even though that was obviously impossible. It nearly brought tears to her eyes.... |
revolting behavior. " Hey, Regulus. There are a few things I would like to tell you before the ceremony." Because of that, she had a declaration for him while she was standing there, face-to-face with him. #184's face tensed at that. There was a slight wave of unease spreading among the wives lining the pews as well. "... |
up to that. "Marriage is something two people who love each other share together. But I don't have the qualifications for that." *** "I've never once loved a man as a woman before. So when Subaru tells me so insistently that he loves me, I can't give him the answer he is hoping for, or the other answer, either. And I k... |
