Boy?
This can't be...
What's wrong?
You were spaced out, so I had to pick on you.
Nyow that was a satisfying reaction!
Felis?
Who else do I look like?
Did you inhale too much of the White Whale's fog?
Uh, no... I'm fine.
That told me what I wanted to know.
So this means...
My save point was updated?
There are a few new things
I've realized about the Witch's Cult.
Does anyone know of, like...
a power you can use to overwrite someone's consciousness,
so you psychologically possess them?
In other words,
you think the Sin Archbishops may have such an ability?
Yeah. I call it "possession."
It's how he stays alive.
It would explain how he keeps popping up everywhere, right?
I once saw a research account of a similar subject in an old book.
It's a type of magic that has been lost,
but the technique only works under certain conditions.
Conditions?
Only members of the Witch's Cult,
and only a limited number of those,
are thought to be capable of it.
And those would be the fingers?
Most likely, they are the user's spare bodies.
It's quite a tasteless arrangement.
I suppose one might say it's worthy of a Sin Archbishop.
So if the Sin Archbishop's confidants,
the fingers, were wiped out...
If that happened,
his soul would have nowhere to go.
And that would be the end of him.
We should eliminate the fingers in the forest first,
and then face Sloth directly.
That is my conclusion.
Guys, there's one more thing I need to say...
Sorry, but I don't think it's only the fingers.
I think he may be able to possess me, too.
What do you think I should do?
Huh?
Filthy woman!
Then, will you also apologize for being born?
You silver-haired half-elf.
Margrave Mathers endorses a half-devil? Utter foolishness!
This is a joke!
Then, will you also apologize for being born?
You know, I had hope for you.
Filthy woman!
I thought maybe you,
only you, wouldn't give me special treatment.
I can't do that.
I can't look at you the way I look at others.
It's impossible.
I'm not connected to the witch at all...
You silver-haired half-elf.
Margrave Mathers endorses a half-devil?
Lia...
Your forehead is all wrinkled.
Good morning, Puck.
You're early today.
Morning, Lia.
I thought I'd try going to sleep and waking up earlier.
That's a lie.
The truth is that I was worried about you.
You've had it rough lately...
Especially yesterday.
It was nothing I didn't know already.
Even if you know you'll fall,
you still hurt and bleed when it happens.
What do you think I should do, Puck?
No, not just me.
How can I be better to everyone, and have them be better to me?
I think you should do what you want.
I'll be on your side, no matter what you do.
And no matter what you do,
you can't abandon that village, right?
Ram headed out there again early this morning.
Maybe we should wait to hear from her.
I'm going to check in on Betty.
Oh... Okay.
Tell her hello for me.
Ram?
Emilia-sama, you have a visitor.
You're...
from Crusch-sama's household, aren't you?
I am Wilhelm Trias.
I've come here on behalf of my master.
On Crusch-sama's behalf?
I received a blank letter from her yesterday...
I see... So it was true.
While it shames me to say so,
the letter contradicted the message my master wished to send.
Oh... It was a mistake, then?
Yes. Emilia-sama and Ram-dono,
we would like to evacuate those remaining
in the mansion, along with the villagers.
That is Crusch-sama's will.
What?
There's a ring of criminals near the forest?
Yes.
The punitive force this messenger brought
is already preparing to fight the enemy.
But why would Crusch-sama do so much to help this domain?
My master received a proposal from the margrave to form
an alliance with respect to the royal selection.
The condition is a share of the mining rights in Elior Forest.
Do you understand?
So that's what this is about.
However, it will be difficult to evacuate all the villagers to the capital.
Half of them will go to the capital.
I will lead the other half to safety in the Sanctuary.
Roswaal-sama is heading there now.
O-Oh, I see...
So discussion on the matter is already over.
But isn't there something strange about this?
It all seems too well-timed...
Pardon me.
The group hiding in the forest has been observed moving strangely.
We haven't a moment to waste!
Once they make their move, the entire region will be a sea of blood!
What will it be, Captain?
No, Sword Demon Wilhelm-dono?
Emilia-sama?
I understand.
I gratefully accept your kindness.
Has this been explained to the villagers?
They have been informed in a timely fashion, Emilia-sama.
I see...
Betty says she'll stay here.
Puck!
Betty can't go.
I'll wait for your return, I suppose.
You don't have to worry.
That's what she said.
Well, in Betty's case,
the forbidden library is a much safer place to be.
Besides, she can't leave the mansion due to her contract.
You know that, right, Lia?
No fair using that as a reason...
So, since my cute little sister will be staying here,
we shouldn't do anything to the mansion.
Betty is sweet and kind,
but she'll show no mercy.
Understood, Great Spirit.
You should do what you want to do.
I'm on your side, and yours alone.
We will evacuate.
I don't want to put the villagers in danger.
We're ready, lady.
Um, I think there's been some kind of mistake.
No, given the number of people and carriages,
we must ask you to ride with these children.
It's a necessary measure.
Can't we put them in a different carriage?
That would be better for the children—
You think no one would want to ride with you?
Have you asked the kids how they feel about that?
Perhaps you just assume
that they hate you and wouldn't want to be around you?
That's not...
I don't need to ask them.
I know it's best for all of us.
Six children and one dragon-drawn carriage.
If we stumble here,
how will your wish ever come true?
A-Are you...
What do you think, Petra?
Do you refuse to ride in the same carriage as her?
Of course not.
You're the lady with the potato stamps, right?
The one who always came with Subaru to watch us do our radio calisthenics!
Well...
We couldn't see your face,
but we saw you having a good time talking with Subaru!
Come and ride with us.
Me, too!
I wanna ride with you!
Come on, let's go!
Let's go!
Come with us!
And it's gonna be pulled by a dragon!
That's so cool!
Ram, take care of things at the Sanctuary.
Be sure to protect the villagers.
You take care, as well, Emilia-sama.
I need to thank you, too...
Where did he go?
Now I get it.
We couldn't figure out how you guys stayed in touch.
Those metia sure are handy, huh?
There's a heavy price to pay for the crime of interrupting
my touching reunion with Emilia!
You're...
Too slow.
In short, we knew you were a spy.
How we found out is a trade secret.
So we set a trap for you,
the contact for the Witch's Cult.
Two hours.
You gave your buddies a schedule that was two hours behind.
We'll use that time to get Emilia and the others out of here,
crush the fingers that know our location,
and make preparations to crush your Sin Archbishop.
Having your enemy always a step ahead, ready to destroy you...
You're about to learn just how terrifying that is.
May the blessing of the spirits be with you.
Good luck.
So this is what enabled you to trick Emilia-sama and chase her off, huh?
Don't put it that way!
Even if it's accurate, it makes me sound bad!
That robe has been woven with quite an odd spell.
It was handmade by Roswaal.
Apparently, there's a spell woven into it that prevents recognition.
It was originally Emilia's...
I didn't steal it, okay?!
Hmm...
Well, the plan to correct the mistake with the blank letter worked out.
"The letter was a mistake... It was my fault"?
And you worked so hard to convince the villagers, Subaru-kyun...
Please!
Emilia's... She's a girl who can be friends with all of you,
and I want you to give her the chance to make you see that!
I'm sure you all have a lot you'd like to say,
but please let us protect you long enough to create that chance!
Sheesh, you really are hopeless, Subaru-sama.
If you insist on protecting us so much,
what choice do we have?
Getting old is just awful.
I think my tear glands have weakened.
Thank you all.
We should be thanking you, Subaru-sama.
You actually moved me.
Don't bring it back up! It's embarrassing!
That just leaves...
Welcome back! How'd it go?
We pulled off a surprise attack on the ones our location was leaked to.
If I messed up, I'll retire as a mercenary.
That map did a nice job showin' us the way.
So the mark on the map really was their base!
I dunno if you'd call 'em fastidious or high-strung, but it worked against 'em.
And we got what we were after.
This should shut down their communications network.
Hooray! We killed 'em all!
Don't say that. It makes us sound awful.
We took a prisoner, too!
A prisoner?
He's not in the Witch's Cult!
I wondered why you hadn't shown up! You got caught?
I don't know who you are, but thanks for saving me.
Actually, I'm really in no mood to say that and mean it, damn it!
Everything is ready.
Subaru, we can leave at any time.
Let's do this, everyone.
We'll begin as planned.
Now...
This time, we'll finish it!
Let's show both Sloth and Fate what we can do!
I've been waiting for you, believer in love.
I am a Sin Archbishop of the Witch's Cult, representing Sloth...
Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti!
Pleasure to meet you, great Sin Archbishop.
If you could find it within you to add my body and soul to the ranks of your fingers
carrying out the Ordeal, there would be no greater honor.
How wondrous, how vivacious your faith is!
To think there was such a devout believer...
Please forgive my sloth, for failing to find him!
Forgive me! Forgive me! Forgive me! Forgive me! Forgive me!
Please stop, Archbishop.
Ah... But, but, but...
I have no way to atone for my sloth and foolishness but by punishment.
That's not true.
The witch wouldn't want to see her beloved believer in pain.
She would be happier to see you carry out the Ordeal!
You are exactly right!
Yes, the Ordeal.
What she needs from me now is the Ordeal!
Your words have opened my eyes.
Thank you! Thank you!
With this Ordeal, we must test her...
To find out if this half-devil is a worthy vessel,
if she is worthy to put the witch into.
Put the witch into? Vessel?
If she is, the witch will possess her. If not, she will reject her.
If she proves an unworthy vessel for the witch,
then the witch will be reborn into this world on the coming fated day...
You're saying Emilia is secondary, with no value to you at all?
You monster...
The words inscribed in the Gospel tell of her love!
All of it guides my path!
Show me your Gospel.
What is that?
Just what it looks like. A metia, Archbishop.
Oh, I see him! I see him!
His face looks just as scary as I'd heard!
Just who are you?
No! What are you?!
Now, then... Tora, Tora, Tora!
Our surprise attack is a success!
What?! Surprise attack... Surprise attack...
Then what do you think of this?!
How?! How can you see my Authority?!
Who knows?
Ask the witch that left her scent all over me.
Oh, that's right.
Unlike me, you haven't received the pass that lets you meet the witch anytime.
What do you mean?
How dare you speak as though you are intimate with the witch?!
We're so close, she's grabbed my heart.
Literally.
I-Inconceivable!
That cannot be!
Let's go, Patrasche!
Don't think you can escape.
Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes!
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming!
Keep it up, Patrasche!
Futile! Impossible!
Vanish in the face of my diligence!
Sorry to rely on you all the time.
You're the best, Patrasche!
But, but, but, but!
But!
This is the end, the end!
You guys...
You almost caught me up in that!
Thanks, though. I thought I was a goner.
You're welcome! Yay!
Is that man in the sky the Sin Archbishop?
Yikes! What the heck is that?!
There's a man all balled up and flying! Wow!
I've never seen anything look so creepy in flight.
That's how it looks to you guys?
Either way, leave him to me.
Watch the rear, like we planned!
Got it! You heard him, Sis!
Aye-aye! Hey, Bro!
You'll look awesome if you beat him now!
Yeah! I got this!
Bring it on, Archbishop!
What...
Just what... What are you?!
That cannot be.
None of this is in the Gospel, in the guide to my destiny!
What... Just what are you?!
You've asked that four times.
If we're talking nightmares, I've had far more than you.
Then... Then, then... You truly are Pride's...
My name is Natsuki Subaru,
the silver-haired half-elf Emilia's knight.
I don't know anything about this "Pride" stuff, but that's the only title I want.
I don't need any others.
This place is...
It's a place where my time once ended.
And it's going to be where your time ends, too.
That's what this place is.
If your goal was to lead me out here,
what have you prepared for me?
What else? Your natural enemy.
One you and I have in common.
"Natural enemy"?
Now, that's a fine thing to call me.
I am Julius Euclius, of the Lugunica Imperial Knights.
I am the Kingdom's sword that will slay you.
A spirit arts user, are you?
How truly... How truly...
Is this also part of your plot?!
I have never known such humiliation!
Really? Well, make the most of it.
That's your bill for all you've done.
Let's do it, Julius.
Are you sure?
I won't back down, I won't bend, I can't lose.
I don't want to lose anyone else.
I am the man who brutally beat you.
I still believe my behavior was backed by meaning and reason,
but that is no more than self-justification,
which has nothing to do with you.
Can you trust me?
I hate you.
Yes, I know.
Having someone break your arms and legs like that is traumatic, you know.
Don't you know the meaning of restraint?
Just so you know, I did hold back quite a bit.
Seriously? That was you holding back?
You really are the biggest jerk ever.
I really hate you, greatest of knights.
So...
I'll trust you.
My shame attests to my knowledge that you're an incredible knight.
Then, with all my soul...
I will live up to that!
Is this farce over yet?
What do you expect to do by adding a single spirit arts user to your ranks?
I will defeat you all, tear apart those who remain,
resume the Ordeal, and that is all!
My diligence knows neither slothful resignation nor demise!
Sloth! Sloth! Sloth!
Sloth!
Al Clarista!
You... You should not be able to see it.
It should be invisible to you.
My Unseen Hand can't be seen, can't be seen...
You can't see it!
And by two... Two people other than me!
I'm the only one who can see it, Betelgeuse.
Huh?!
Julius can only see what I'm seeing.
It's a much creepier feeling than I thought it'd be, though.
I can use Nect to consciously share some of your senses,
as well as to maintain them for a while.
When you first proposed this, I questioned your sanity.
It worked, didn't it?
A man's all about guts.
You've gotta be willing to try anything.
Curse you, curse you!
Curse you! Curse you! Curse you! Curse you!
Curse you!
Sharing a collective body with you is pretty disgusting.
Let's get this over with!
Yes, let's.
Using your eyes, I shall slay him...
My friend, Natsuki Subaru!
The Self-Proclaimed Knight and the Greatest of Knights
I have a slight concern.
I would like to take a small number from our forces to eliminate it.
You won't have any need of me?
Emilia-sama, head to safety in the carriage.
Don't let go of the children's hands.
You truly are master and servant.
Your eyes look just like his.
Wilhelm-san, I—
This cannot be!
You cannot use such means, such tricks,
to make light of me and of my devotion!
This is some crappy game where as soon as you're caught, it's over.
We must be crazy to entrust our lives to that!
You and me both!
My body is slowly getting used to this.
Shall we speed up?
Yeah! Don't worry, I'll keep up!
Wow...
Impossible!
Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!
Impossible!
Why?! How can it be?!
I thought I was loved! I am loved!
By the witch, the witch, the witch, the witch!
The witch!
It's time I killed you for real!
Al Clauseria!
I will not let you do that.
Ul Dona!
Burn, fighting spirit! Howl, magic ball!
When I get serious, I can pitch over 120 km/h!
What is this?
You lost because you belittled him as powerless.
My blade of all six elements bound together will slice your very soul apart.
Scatter to the end of the rainbow!
I won't let it end!
I have been nothing but diligent!
The witch's love bathes my entire body!
Julius, undo Nect!
Very well.
Ah... My brain...
trembles!
Yeah, just tremble while you wait.
I'll let you meet her, just this once...
What? Meet whom? What are you talking about?!
The witch that you've been waiting for!
I can Return by Death to—
At last...
I've waited so long.
For your love, your merciful love, your affectionate love...
No.
You're not the one.
I'm back!
This... cannot... be...
I was prepared to keep trying that until you left me,
but you gave up after one go? How cowardly can you be?
This time, I will end you.
Why...
Why, why, why?
After everything I've done for you!
Witch! Witch!
Give me your love...
Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti...
You were Sloth, all right.
Subaru, let's hurry back to the village.
Felis just contacted me.
It seems there's a problem.
The magic stones of fire that were in the merchants' inventory are gone.
We unloaded all of our cargo so we could take the villagers on board,
but the magic stones of fire are missing.
What does that mean?
Someone left the stones on board when they loaded the villagers.
It was Ketty-san's carriage.
There are enough magic stones to easily blow away a small village.
Ketty's carriage is taking Emilia-sama and the children to the capital.
Emilia-sama.
It's time.
What's wrong?
Are you all right?
I'm sorry. It's nothing.
Come on, let's hurry!
Damn it!
My poor man's tendency to use anything at hand backfired!
We have verified that no spell was used to set a trap,
but if something were physically rigged in the carriage...
Felis, could a ground dragon catch up to them?
If they're already out of the Mathers domain and on the Lifaus Highway,
it'll be hard to catch them.
That still wasn't enough?
Even after all that, I still can't...
May I say something?
I'm actually in a desperate position right now.
If you would accept a trade,
I promise to catch up to the carriage that lef—
If there's anything I can do, I'll do it!
I like a man who can make quick decisions, Natsuki-san!
I'll send Ia with you.
I wish I could accompany you myself, but...
You can't, Julius.
With all those injuries, how could you help them?
And your mana's nyot restored yet, either.
You just get some rest.
Once this is over, we'll celebrate!
I'll make sure to invite you, so don't die.
Don't you die, either!
Good luck.
Rather than take this road,
it's faster to go through the glade to the left.
It's the shortest way!
Man, your "soul of language" divine protection is amazing.
I had a hard time learning to control it.
I can hear the voices of all creatures, from ground dragons to bugs, after all.
But if we choose our path based on what they say,
this shortcut will work, and catching up to Emilia and the kids will be easy!
What are you talking about?
It won't be easy at all!
We're gonna die!
We're seriously gonna die at this rate!
It's the end of the line!
What is this? I feel a wind hitting me...
Honestly, even I had no idea I was capable of this—
What is it? What's wrong?
The trees are so loud.
The birds and bugs started making a lot of noise, and then just vanished.
Something... Something is coming!
Faster, Otto! Don't get caught, no matter what!
Natsuki-san?
Just how persistent are you, damn it?!
My body!
My flesh body!
It's okay. Hang on tight.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
That old man just ran into someone behind us.
They're fighting.
Do you know how many there are?
A lot.
But the old man's power is no joke.
Looks like you and I won't be needed this time.
Taking my physical form without reason drains mana,
and I don't want to end up being a plaything for the kids.
If your cuteness could help everyone forget their fears,
I think it might be worth it.
You say some scary things, my daughter.
Don't worry.
Whatever happens, I'll protect you.
W-We're fine!
You don't have to worry about us!
W-We made a promise, so this is nothing!
A promise?
That we wouldn't let go of you!
Because you'll do something crazy if we're not with you!
And he'll worry if someone isn't watching you!
Worry about me? Who told you this?
Don't! We can't tell—
Subaru!
Subaru said it.
He said you get lonely easily, so he was worried!
Subaru said...
Wait, we weren't supposed to tell her.
Oh, boy...
Natsuki-san, is something coming up behind us?
Just some big, black animal.
It has a wild voice and a scary face, so you're better off not looking.
Those things make me all the more curious!
Forget it! Just drive!
If I get bitten, it'll munch on you next!
Yikes!
How many times do I have to play the last level?
What about you is slothful now, you uselessly hard worker?!
Witch! Satella! Give me...
Love! Love!
She doesn't love you or me!
Love! Love! Love! Love! Love!
What kind of rom-com has someone trying to squash their love's heart?!
Satella! Satella! Satella!
I am your opponent.
I won't let you get past me,
and I absolutely won't let you get to the kid in front of me!
Natsuki-san, you care about me that much?
Will you be quiet?!
I'm trying to make myself look good!
Take this!
Natsuki-san, we're leaving the forest!
Love...
Love... Love me.
Love alone is everything!
I can't take you with me to where Emilia is!
I'm gonna need your strength,
Julius Euclius!
Rental Goa!
Damn, that hurts...
Give it to me.
Hand it over!
I told you...
Relinquish it!
If you try to get into my body, you're just gonna get hurt!
The witch... Satella... Satella!
I haven't forgotten a single moment of the things you did for me!
Even if you've forgotten, I'll... I'll...
With all of my diligence,
I'll part with my slothful self, to repay your love...
If you had stayed a monster,
you might have beaten me!
Satella...
I... will not... I won't... let it end...
This hasn't ended...
It hasn't!
No, it's over.
As of now, you...
are finished!
Natsuki Subaru!
This time, stay asleep forever, Betelgeuse.
Natsuki-san, look!
Wilhelm-san!
Subaru-dono!
Where's Emilia?!
Just ahead!
Go straight, toward the great tree!
This is the perfect chance to repay my debt.
Who can stand in the way of a man going to see a woman?!
Natsuki-san, I see it!
That's the carriage with the refugees!
I promised back then.
No matter what it takes...
I'm going to save you!
Are you thinking about Subaru?
Yeah...
But I still can't believe it.
If Subaru's really leading the army,
a lot of things would make sense.
Like why Ram didn't argue,
and why the villagers agreed to evacuate.
But why?
After all the pain and suffering he went through...
After I made him look so sad...
Why would he...
Lia, something's coming up behind us!
Found them!
I thought this reunion seemed sudden. So that's why you're here.
Wait! Why?
Why?
I love you, Emilia.
Damn it!
Get there in time!
Thank you, Subaru.
For saving me.
Where am I?
I can't see a thing.
I can't hear a thing.
Is that witch lady coming to grab my heart again?
I don't feel too bad, though.
Subaru!
Oh, hey... I can hear, after all.
Subaru!
Where am I?
Subaru, you're awake?
Thank goodness... I'm so glad.
I'm lying down, and Emilia-tan is kneeling...
And considering our distance and the heavenly sensation under my head...
You don't have to go through all that.
Your head is on my lap. It's not uncomfortable, is it?
I know of no finer, more divine pillow.
Um...
Can I ask how things turned out?
Honestly...
I'm the one who wants to ask what's going on.
Is Patrasche okay?
I wanna become the wind with that critter again.
She was pretty burned,
but she'll be fine.
Felis is looking at her.
Oh, Felis joined us, too?
Have I been out for a pretty long time?
About an hour or two.
So everyone's together now, then.
Julius, too.
I was really surprised.
I never expected to see you two together.
It was for reasons bluer than the mountains,
and taller than the seas, Emilia-tan.
I finally made it back.
I feel like I was having a really long dream.
A terrible dream...
No, it wasn't.
A good dream, then?
A good reality.
Back then, you asked me why...
Why I saved you,
why I try so hard at everything.
You asked me why.
Yeah.
And you said it was because I saved you.
But I haven't done anything like that.
I've never been able to.
You're the one who's always saving me.
I could never do anything for you.
And yet, you got yourself hurt and said it was for my sake...
No, I was messed up back then.
I was only thinking of myself.
I said it was all for you,
when I was really just drunk on the idea of doing it all for you.
I had it in my head that if I told you that, you'd accept it.
Subaru...
I'm sorry.
I used you for my own self-satisfaction.
Everything you said back then was true.
I was wrong.
But...
There's one thing I wasn't wrong about.
I want to save you.
I want to help you.
I honestly mean that. It's no lie.
Yeah. I know.
Why do you always save me?
Because I love you.
And I want to be your strength.
I'm a half-elf...
I know that.
I'm a silver-haired half-elf,
and many people hate me because I look like the witch.
They despise me.
They absolutely detest me!
I saw. I know.
Those guys are all blind.
I don't have much experience with people,
so I don't have friends.
I'm naïve and not very worldly, so I say strange things sometimes.
And the reason I want to be the kingdom's ruler is really, really selfish...
No matter what anyone says about you,
no matter what you think of yourself,
I love you.
I really love you! Like crazy!
I want to be with you all the time.
I want to hold your hand all the time.
If you name ten things you hate about yourself,
I'll say two thousand things I love about you.
That's the kind of
special treatment I want to give you.
That's the first time I've received special treatment that made me happy...
Why two thousand?
Because a hundredfold isn't enough to express how I feel about you.
I'm happy...
I'm so happy.
I never even imagined I'd see the day
when someone told me they loved me.
What should I do?
You've told me so many of your feelings,
but I don't know what to do...
You don't have to stress over it.
I'm not demanding an answer right away.
As far as I'm concerned, it's written in stone that I'll get your answer one day,
and it'll be a positive one, at that.
Is it really all right?
For me... For someone like me to be given such happiness all the time?
To be so overjoyed,
I actually feel like it's indulgent?
Sure, it is. Go on and be indulgent.
You can never have too much happiness.
If you have so much that it overflows, you can always share it.
You can take your time, Emilia.
You can take your time and slowly, steadily fall in love with me.
I'll do my best so I can walk by your side, and so you'll fall head over heels for me.
Thank you, Subaru.
For saving me.
That's All This Story Is About
Aren't you, um...
a bit close, Petra?
Well, she had you all to herself earlier.
It wasn't fair!
You don't mind, right?
Um... It's not like that, Petra-chan.
Subaru and I were just...
Right! We had important things to talk about!
I'm not gonna lose to you! You hear me?!
Emilia-tan, she's only a kid.
You just have to smile and laugh off what kids say.
No way.
Even if she's a child,
I can't take such a lackadaisical attitude.
Lackadaisical? Who says that in this day and age?
You're teasing me again!
I'm not a kid!
Okay, sorry.
I need to thank you, Petra.
You kept your promise to not leave Emilia-tan alone.
There are so many people I need to thank when things calm down.
I'm really grateful to Crusch-san and her gang,
and Anastasia-san and her people helped a lot, too.
And I hate to admit it,
but the same goes for Julius and those guys.
I'm in so much debt now.
Did you say something, Natsuki-san?
Nah, nothing.
Just that I'm super grateful to you, too!
Gosh, what brought that on?
You're making me blush.
And...
What's wrong, Subaru?
Oh, um, just...
Emilia-tan...
There's something really important I need to tell you.
Okay. What is it?
This is really hard for me to say, but please hear me out.
Oh, and of course, I'm prepared to be knocked out by Ram when I tell her!
But I want you to hear it first.
Okay.
It's actually... about Rem.
Rem said that she, um...
You'll still keep me by your side from now on?
Y-You see what I'm getting at, right?
I mean, well... Rem said some nice things to me...
Subaru, just calm down for a second.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say,
but I can tell you're trying your hardest to say it, okay?
So just take it slow, like a good boy.
"Like a good boy"? That's not exactly encouraging.
But... okay.
I'm just gonna come out and say it, like a man!
The thing is...
Rem said she loves me, the same way I told you that I love you! So...
Subaru...
Yes?
Who...
is Rem?
