"Instead?!" Garfiel angrily asked.
"Yes." Otto replied.
"Where's the old hag?" Garfiel asked.
"I couldn't foresee what would happen, so I had her go elsewhere." Otto replied.
"And what the hell are you still doin' here? You wanna "talk things over" but the one you wanna talk to ain't even here!" Garfiel said.
"That's true. So I guess we'll just say I'm buying time so a certain boy and girl can be alone for a while." Otto said.
"Otto... Is buying time for me and Subaru?" Emilia asked.
"Tch..." Both Garfiel and Satella clucked their tongues from their respective locations.
"Hah... I know what made you do that." Halibel chuckle.
"Shut up!" Satella pouted.
"I don't know but I think it will..." Sehkmet uttered.
"Oh, really?!" Garfiel angrily asked and punches Otto in the gut, making him kneel in pain.
"I knew it." Sehkmet sighed.
"What a mean beast... you are...!" Carmilla said on Garfiel.
"Huh? Of course, he is always the mean one here!" Minerva added.
"Shut up, you damn witches! Don't you act like you aren't way horrible than I do!" Garfiel angrily yelled.
"He's not wrong... With that though..." Julius said.
"You ain't got what it takes, small fry." Garfiel said and leaves the tomb. Suddenly, he noticed that something was missing from him and it was the stone.
"The stone-" Garfiel now falls into a trap made by Otto to make him fall deeper into the ground.
"Damn it." Garfiel cursed.
"Is this what you're looking for? A merchant always keeps one step ahead to ascertain his chances of success, and that's what I am." Otto said while showing the stone he got from Garfiel.
"Woah! For real?!" Ferris asked.
"Seriously... How did I manage to get that away from him...?" Otto asked in doubt.
"Haha! Just be proud of your future self, Otto." Kadomon said.
"He's... right, Otto." Carmilla said.
"Eh... Even if I said those words, and all of those were right, I can't still think about how I managed to steal it from Garfiel..." Otto said.
"You piece of..." Garfiel cursed.
Zodda Bugs around the hole start to glow
"I've never had very many human friends, but I made of lots of non-han friends instead. The entire forest is against you now. Enjoy this welcome from the zodda bugs first!" Otto said and the Zodda bugs start to swarm Garfiel to prevent him from mobilizing.
"Damn it... Damn it! Damn it!" Garfiel yelled.
"Eek! That's scary! Mommy!" Mildo cried.
"Gah! Why are you crying again?!" Kazuma angrily asked.
"E-Eh... Gross... Disgusting!" Minerva said with a disgusted look.
"Shit... You will pay for that." Garfiel warned Otto.
"B-B-But why?! I just did it for my friend!" Otto cried.
"Heh..." Garfiel rolled his eyes out and ignored Otto.
"Don't mind him. He's always short-tempered when it comes to situations that are against him." Frederica said.
Flashback
"When I was a young boy, the world was a hellish cradle. No matter where I went, I heard endless voices. At that age, I had no way to know that this was the blessing I was born with, the "soul of language" Divine Protection." Otto narrated as a scene of him when he was young, listening to his surroundings and the animals around.
"Soul of Language... That's an interesting Divine Protection you have, Otto!" Ferris said.
"That means you can understand and comprehend what the animals and nature say to you?" Lucas asked.
"You're right." Otto replied.
"Then, you must've also understood what did the White Whale said to you before. And gave you such horrendous actions that caused your death." Kadomon said.
"Yeah..." Otto said.
"Let's not... bring up that kind of discussion... Please..." Carmilla said.
"Of course. Want some Appa?" Kadomon asked.
"F-For free...?" Carmilla asked.
"Sure." Kadomon replied.
"That witch surely cursed you to make it free!" Garfiel yelled.
"She didn't!" Kadomon angrily yelled back and gave Carmilla some Appas.
"Th-Thank you..." Carmilla replied and bowed.
"You're welcome!" Kadomon replied.
"Hey! That's unfair! How about me who suffered from everything?!" Subaru cried from above.
"She's adorable, but you... I don't know..." Halibel slowly shook his head.
"Otto, what are you doing? You're not going to play with them?" Otto's mother asked but he can barely hear what she was trying to say to him.
"My parents tried their hardest to understand my abnormality, but any who don't have a Divine Protection can never understand."
"Otto, try writing it." Otto's older brother named Oslo said as he was offered by him to write something on a paper.
"It was my brother, seven years my senior, who realized that written words might bring about that understanding when spoken words couldn't."
Otto gave the letter he wrote from last night to his mother and while she reads it, this made her cry, and hugged her son quickly while sobbing. And every family member of their family cried as they finally understand Otto through the letter he wrote. His brother cried and nods at him for doing a great job of writing what he feels in the letter.
"Otto..." His mom sobbed and this made him too cry.
"That may have been the first time I'd cried out since I was born. Then when I turned ten..." Otto walks out to the garden until a glowing light flashed past him and disappeared, then some gibberish words from the insects were heard.
"Big... Light... Went... That way..." The bugs said.
"Those meaningless voices started to transform into sounds with meaning."
"You can understand what animals say?" Oslo asked.
"Yeah." Otto replied. He found a bug having a conversation with another bug as they were talking about an event coming.
"Rain... fall soon. Rain soon." The bug said.
"They say it's going to rain soon." Otto said.
"Huh? Oslo asked and the rain started to pour upon them. His brother looked into the sky and couldn't believe what he just witnessed.
"Wow! How can they predict the rain coming?!" Lucas asked.
"Pure instincts? Who knows." Otto replied.
"Man, I wish some bugs can tell when will my business grow further..." Kadomon said.
"Uh... That if it there is one to exist." Al said.
"Otto, that's an amazing power. And because it's so amazing, you shouldn't talk to Zodda bugs when people are around." Oslo said.
"Why?" Otto asked.
"Divine Protections are blessings granted by this world, but there are people who would try to take advantage of it. You have to keep your power hidden." Oslo replied.
"I agree with him. Since Otto's still young and a powerless one, using his Divine Protection to the public must be kept in private instead." Reinhard said.
"I thought he was about to say some bad or weird things to his Divine Language." Al said.
"Yeah, that's what I have in mind. But I don't give a damn about it." Priscilla said.
"Actually, no one cares either when you say something." Tanya angrily said.
"That's why I can't talk to you around other people anymore, Fulfew." Otto said.
"I understand, Young Master." The Ground Dragon named Fulfew said. Otto's younger brother saw and heard what he just witnessed and was in awe.
"Liar! Liar! Liar!"
"You're just a liar!"
"We know it's all lies!"
"You're so lying!"
"I'm not lying! My big brother Otto can talk to animals! Can't you, Otto?!" Otto's younger brother named Regin, cried. The kids around Otto observe him as he is trying to contact some animals to prove his Divine Protection to the kids around, and two Zodda bugs arrived.
"It's true!"
"Zodda bugs!"
They realize that Otto... accidentally called a huge swarm of Zodda Bugs now coming towards them.
"Oh, no! Zodda bugs!"
Everyone cried and ran for their lives as the Zodda bugs arrive in a rush, hurting some citizens and swarming around the city.
"You Zodda bug freak!" One kid yelled and ran away.
"Oops... That's a lot of them." Ferris said.
"He lost control of using his Divine Protection and ended up calling a huge number of them." Crusch said.
"Remember, he's just a kid. He has no full control of his Divine Protection yet. For us, we understand why that happened. But for those who were victims of the said invasion, we have no choice but to understand what they feel as well." Naofumi said.
"After that, I sealed my Divine Protection and swore never to use it again. Then when I was fifteen."
"You son of a bitch! I know you were with my girlfriend!" One angry man yelled and shoved Otto on the ground after accusing him of being with the man's girlfriend.
"Huh?! At that age, seriously?" Kenichi asked.
"That's just... very wrong..." Satella said.
"I agree." Halibel said.
"W-Wait a-"
"Shut the hell up, you Zodda bug freak!"
"Zodda bug... freak? I'm gonna find out the truth!" Otto exclaimed as he talked to all of the animals around to help him uncover the truth behind the man's girlfriend.
"I saw." A dog with some birds on his head responded to Otto, making him feel excited. He saw a female cat meowing to him and a male cat invites the female to be with him for a stroll, making Otto get angry. He saw the man who almost beat him up earlier with his girl and they kissed each other.
"I know the truth! You're the eighth guy she's been with!" Otto said.
"You jerk!" The girl cried and the man punches Otto directly to the face.
"Someone kill him!" The girl ordered.
"Huh?! For what?" Felt asked.
"What a bitch." Garfiel said.
"And an asshole as well." Old man Rom said.
"Otto should've said that differently to avoid getting into that scene. But, we're talking about his past..." Ram said.
"I made an enemy of the daughter of the most powerful person in town, and they ran me out. After that, I unexpectedly found my independence as a merchant, and I busted my butt working. I made up my mind that I'd run my own shop one day. You can do it, Otto! Go, go, Otto!" He narrated. While traveling, Otto suddenly pulled the brakes as a man was standing in the way.
"Well, well, well... Where are you off in such a... hurry?!" The man known to be Petelguese said along with the Witch Cultists around Otto.
"Petelguese!" Rem called.
"Eh?! Why was he waiting for me in the way?!" Otto cried.
"Oh... Him again." Satella said.
"Yeah..." Subaru uttered.
Otto is now found wrapped up in restraints inside the hideout of the Witch Cultists. And realized that he was done for good and started to cry. Until someone releases him from his restraints, thanks to a huge demi-human.
"Ricardo saved Otto! Thank goodness." Felt said.
"How you didn't know about this, Otto?" Ram asked.
"Maybe I forgot... Ehe..." Otto nervously chuckled.
"Haha! I appreciate your thanks, boy." Ricardo said.
"I haven't said a word..." Otto uttered.
"You're one lucky boy. You woulda been killed if I hadn't found ya. Better be grateful to the boss kid." The demi-human said.
"B-Boss... kid?" Otto asked.
"Yeah, he's our boss. And he's the guy who saved your life." The demi-human said.
"I-I understand. Thank you very much. And I should thank him, too." Otto said.
"If yer gonna cry, go hide first. No man should start sobbin' in front of anyone." The demi-human said after he gave him a handkerchief and walks away.
"Huh? C-Cry?" Otto asks and touches his eyes to feel if he's really crying, and he did.
"Damn it. What is this? This... Th-This... I... I'm so glad I didn't die..." Otto sobbed while covering his face.
"O-Only if I was there... to save you, Otto..." Carmilla said and pats Otto.
"What are Petelguese's motives against Otto? These Witch Cultists do love to hurt everyone around them." Kadomon said.
"They're bad guys. They will do whatever evil plans they have in mind." One villager said.
"I agree!" Another villager said.
"Well, everyone knows they're evil so. I'm not surprised if they did something awful against Otto. But thankfully, none happen." Rem said.
"I realized that every time I cry, it marks a rebirth in my life. My second cry after learning of my family's love and realizing where my heart lay... And this day, the third, when I had a brush with death and gained an understanding of my purpose and reason for living." Otto narrated.
Flashback Ended
"And that boss kid is... Subaru-kun..." Rem said.
"You just realized it just now? Haha!" Ricardo laughed.
"Thanks to Natsuki-san, I was able to have my purpose in life. And to be able to do things for other people rather than crying and being a coward. And also to them as well, for saving my life." Otto said.
"No worries, boy! For as long as you don't cry again on anyone, 'kay?" Ricardo laughed.
"That's..." Otto sighed and Carmilla pats him.
"It's... Okay to cry... That just shows... How genuine your feelings are..." Carmilla said.
"Is that so? Thanks." Otto smiled.
"Those two should end up together." Subaru said.
"Heh. As if it would happen." Satella said.
"I wasn't actually asked to buy time this way... But it's all to help my friend!" Otto said while running. And a roar from Garfiel was heard from behind. The birds now get closer to Otto to give him a warning.
"...coming! Coming! Bad one coming!" The bird warned.
"I know that!" Otto yelled.
"Right behind you. Already here." The Zodda bugs added.
"I said I know that! I planned for it! It's all part of the calculation!" Otto said.
"You're going to die. Poor thing." One hamster said.
"Could you please stop being so pessimistic?!" Otto whined. He suddenly bleeds and stopped running.
Music plays
"Is this what happens when I keep using it? My divine protection is such a hassle. I wonder if Natsuki-san... is getting his chance to talk to Emilia-sama." Otto grunted. He remembers all of the memories of the past and gritted his teeth, but smiled, and now continues to run.
"Found ya!" Garfiel yelled and jumps right in front of Otto. The merchant throws a flower-like grenade that explodes on Garfiel as a distraction and to give himself a distance from him.
"Damn you!" Garfiel yelled and chases him.
"I was given a really exciting role to play for once! I'm not letting you catch me that easily!" Otto yelled and keeps dropping the same grenade. But Garfiel deflects all of the remaining grenades using his skills.
"Uh oh... He deflected them all." Felt said.
"That's an easy task for Garfiel." Ram said.
"You're not gettin' away this time..." Garfiel smirked.
"..." Frederica gave a sigh to his brother's reaction and focused back on the scene.
"Come on, give me a break..." Otto said and is about to get another one.
"I don't think so!" Garfiel yelled and uses his speed to punch Otto right into the face.
"I'm not lettin' you pull any of your shit again!" He yelled.
"I... I wouldn't be so sure... This fight isn't over ye-" Otto stopped as Garfiel stomps his hand and squeezes it.
"I told you, I'm not lettin' you pull any shit! Frankly, you surprised me. I seriously never woulda thought you had it in ya. You'll hafta forgive me for doin' somethin' so shitty to a man." Garfiel said and grabs Otto up.
"I think I've done all I could." Otto uttered.
"Gimme the stone back right now! Enough already, damn it!" Garfiel ordered. Otto slowly gets the stone and shows it to him.
"A'right, then. When you wake up, this'll all be-"
"Let's just say my personal battle ends here." Otto said. Garfiel realized what he just said and felt someone's presence from behind.
"Ram!" Garfiel yelled.
"El Fula!" Ram yelled.
"Cocky bitch!" Garfiel roared and shields himself with the wood shield he made and avoid getting hit by Ram's attacks.
"Tch. I thought I'll get him." Ram said.
"It's all right, sister." Rem chuckled.
"No, it isn't." Ram said with a serious glare and gave Rem a shiver.
"Not that I didn't know it, but you're so pathetic, I couldn't watch." Ram said.
"Isn't that a little harsh toward someone who just gave all he had fighting?" Otto said.
"All you had? In the state you're in?" Ram asked with a serious glare.
"Aw come on, Ram!" Mildo whined.
"What?" Ram asked and scares Mildo.
"Mom-" Mildo stopped as Kazuma puts a huge chocolate bar on his mouth.
"Shut up!" Kazuma yelled.
"Just give him the compliment he wants to hear, Raaaam." Roswaal said.
"I've never seen a maid as well described as the polar opposite of soothing!" Otto cried.
"Hey, Ram, doesn't joining their side mean you're going against what that bastard Roswaal wants?" Garfiel asked.
"I would give my very soul to fulfill my master's fondest desire. But... in my own way." Ram said.
"Cut the shit! What do you think is happenin' while you keep me here?! You really think he's worth trustin' that much?!" Garfiel angrily asked.
"Is Natsuki-san worth it? Well, if we're talking about whether he's worth anything, I suppose he's not." Otto said.
"Huh?!" Garfiel angrily asked.
"But I look forward to seeing what flowers bloom from him, so I keep pruning and brushing off the bugs... I suppose that's the mood I'm in now." Otto said and wears his merchant hat.
"Hmph. Frankly, I have no idea what gives you such high hopes for Barusu. He's weak, useless, and so incompetent, he can't even make tea right." Ram said.
"That's going a bit too far... or maybe not, actually." Otto nervously said.
"You're too mean right now, Ram!" Subaru cried.
"I know, right? Do you want me to teach her a lesson?" Satella asked with a scary gaze.
"Uh, no. Please don't. Subaru replied.
"Hmph. Fine." Satella pouted.
"What's wrong with her...?" Halibel mumbled.
"But... when it's do or die, he has bizarrely good timing. A man who only has good timing. That's what Barusu is. If he believes he sees an opportunity and acts on it, you know that's the only path to victory." Ram said.
"Finally. Some compliment that I've been looking for..." Subaru sobbed.
"Hmph. But I can't accept the way she acts like she's stronger than you." Satella said.
"I mean, she was, though." Subaru said.
"I guess when all's said and done, you trust Natsuki-san too, Ram-san." Otto said.
"That's "Ram-sama." Ram warned.
"That's such a hostile way to hide your shyness!" Otto cried.
"Heh. Better." Ram said with a smug.
"Eh..." Rem uttered.
"Damn it..." Otto sobbed.
"That's Ram for nya!" Ferris said.
"Enough!" Garfiel said and now transforms into his beast form with a loud roar.
"Yikes! We're going to fight him in that form?!" Otto cried.
"Guess we have no choice but to face him." Ram said.
"It's dangerous! He might kill the both of you!" Felt said.
"Don't worry. I believe they got this." Emilia said.
"Emilia..." Felt uttered.
"Stay back." Ram said and walks towards Garfiel
"Wait... Ram-san!" Otto cried. Garfiel charges on Ram while she walks calmly towards him. As the beast launched his attack, Ram evades it and punches him right in the face, and walked past him.
"Have you ever once beaten me in a punch-out?" Ram asked. Garfiel tries to attack her but ends up getting punched again.
"No... way..." Otto uttered. Ram continued punching Garfiel with countless blows and sends him away.
"No way!" Otto cried together with the other characters as they were surprised to see Ram dominating Garfiel in this fight.
"Tch!" Garfiel clucked his tongue in disappointment.
"Woah! That's an Oni maid for you!" Mimi said.
"Right!" Hetaro said.
"Sister... That's amazing..." Rem said.
"Heh. Now that's why you shouldn't underestimate me. Now, praise me." Ram said with a smug once again.
"Don't give us that look again!" Otto cried.
"Eh? For real? Then what about that?" Sehkmet asked.
"Huh?" Otto asked.
After Ram knocks Garfiel down, she suddenly bleeds out of nowhere and kneels on the ground due to the pain.
"Haha! How about that?!" Garfiel smirked.
"I see... Hmph." Ram pouted.
"This isn't over yet..." Rem chuckled.
"I knew it! He won't go down without any counterattacks!" Otto cried.
"You've gotten stronger, Garf." Ram said. Garfiel now attacks Ram again but Otto shows up Garfiel's stone and yells loud enough for the beast to hear him and attack him instead. Otto ran and falls down as the beast launched an attack towards him.
"Al Fula!" Ram fired her range attacks once again on Garfiel from behind and the beast released another powerful roar once again. Subaru heard them from far away and looked in their direction.
"I'm counting on you, Otto. Please don't do anything crazy. Now... I'm going to do my part." Subaru said and now enters the tomb.
"Oh, good. I finally found you." Subaru said and sat beside Emilia. The title "Otto Suwen" appeared on everyone as this is the title for today's episode.
"My name... As the title?!" Otto asked.
"It's all about you... Otto... Don't you understand the flashbacks from your past showing up...? It is to show everyone... how cool your Divine Protection is and what kind of a person you are..." Carmilla said.
"She's right! And don't get your head to get bigger because of this episode! Got it?!" Minerva warned.
"Hey, I'm not that type of a guy!" Otto cried.
"Hahaha! Now, this is the time for us to be proud of you, Otto!" Kadomon said.
"Why?" Otto asked.
"You made everyone realize what kind of a person you are. In the past episodes, many hated you because of the things you've done against Subaru and did a lot of mistakes before. Be proud that your future self's doing a good job on suppressing Garf away from Subaru and Emilia-sama without dying and making any mistakes." Kadomon said.
"Th-Thank you..." Otto said and started crying. Everyone laughed at his reaction and Carmilla slowly hugs him.
"Now... Back to the scene of Subaru... and Emilia." Tanya said and slowly looked upwards to see Satella's angry reaction to the upcoming scene.
"Are you all right?" Subaru asked.
"No." Satella replied.
"Ay Yi Yi... Better not talk to her for this moment, Subaru." Kenichi said.
"You thought this through, didn't you, Emilia-tan? You knew no one would find you if you holed up in here." Subaru said.
"Why... are you here, Subaru? You don't..." Emilia uttered.
"...get forced back as hard as Roswaal? I mean, I'm here, but I'm fighting pretty hard to endure." Subaru replied.
"I... see..." Emilia uttered.
"Half of me believed you'd be here, and half of me just wished for it." Subaru said.
"Half... and half..." Emilia uttered.
"I'm so relieved that I found you." Subaru said.
"Just... relieved? You're not angry?" Emilia asked.
"What's this about, Emilia-tan? Were you actually afraid I'd be mad at you? I'm not angry. Though I did panic, and frankly I wasn't even sure I was alive." Subaru replied.
"I see. You're not angry." Emilia said.
"Emilia?" Subaru called.
"You're not angry at me, Subaru. You won't even get angry. Why won't you get angry? What I did was selfish, wasn't it? It caused trouble for you, didn't it? I worried you by leaving without saying anything. Are you not angry because you d-didn't expect anything in the first place?
You're kind to me even when I mess up because you're not even disappointed in me, right? Because you know it's never going to go right?" Emilia asked.
"Why are you thinking things like that, Lia...?" Puck asked in worry.
"If she felt what her future self is feeling right now, I guess she knows why she would act like that." Ainz said.
"Yeah... Ainz-sama is right..." Emilia replied with a low voice.
"Uh... What's going on between Kazuma-sama and Mildo?" Lucas asked.
"Uh, Tanya gave Kazuma a golden chocolate bar, but Mildo stole and ate it right away. Now Kazuma wants Mildo to get his golden chocolate bar back and he's now using his brute force.
"ORA! Give me my chocolate or you won't see the sunlight tomorrow!" Kazuma yelled.
"No! This is yummy!" Mildo cried.
"Damn them..." Tanya angrily uttered.
"No, Emilia! That's not what I think!" Subaru quickly replied.
"Then... Then why? Why didn't you keep your promise?! You and Puck both broke your word and went away. You went away and left me behind. You're a liar. Puck is a liar. Liar... You liar..." Emilia sobbed and landed her head on Subaru, with a light smack on him.
"Emilia..."
"You shouldn't... break a promise... You shouldn't lie... It's wrong!" Emilia yelled and cried.
"Emilia... I love you." Subaru said.
Loud bangs
"There she goes..." Halibel said as Satella stomps the spaceship with jealousy after she heard the words from Subaru.
"Satella!" Subaru cried.
"Shut up!" Satella cried.
"What was that?" Reinhard asked.
"I heard a loud thud coming from up above." Julius said.
"Maybe those two I guess..." Al said on Kazuma and Mildo who are fighting for the golden chocolate bar.
"Huh?" Emilia asked.
"Night after night, you go rushing into the same damn trial over and over. What the hell is that trial anyway? It's just the past! Don't keep moping over stuff that's over and done with!" Subaru said.
"Uh, wha..."
"When I tried to do it for you, you insisted that only you could do it. So when you blow it, that just means you were all talk!" Subaru scolded.
"S-Subaru..."
"And in the end, when your pet and guardian takes off, you abandon your duties and run off to sulk and cry your eyes out? I can't put up with it any longer!" Subaru said.
"You're right. It only makes sense that you'd think of me that way." Emilia said.
"But still... I love you, Emilia. I love you. I love you so, so, so much I don't know what to do with myself." Subaru said.
"Wh-Where did all this come from?" Emilia asked.
"I love that beautiful silver hair of yours, I love those damp purple jewels you have for eyes. I love your voice and how just hearing it puts me in a trance. Your long, slender arms and legs, your pale skin, and your height are all so perfect to me that I can't stand it. Just being with you makes my heart race out of control. It's scary, honestly.
"I love how you're a little absent-minded, too. The way you give everything your all is adorable, and I respect the way you do your best to help others. It's hard to leave you alone when I see you putting others before yourself. I want to see all the expressions you make from right here beside you." Subaru said.
"Subaru..." Emilia uttered in surprise after hearing all of the things Subaru do like about her.
"Haha... Subaru's a goofy sometimes..." Puck said.
"Aren't you offended by some words that he said to you, half-elf?" Priscilla said with a smug.
"I don't know... But... All of the things he said about me were true and correct. I can't just be angry because he said it. At least he's honest to me..." Emilia said.
"Well, her reaction in this one is different since the one we're watching now is in the future." Naofumi said.
"I agree." Ainz said.
"What will Emilia's response to that? Don't make me disappointed with your reactions because he said all of it from the bottom of his heart!" Minerva said.
"And what if she won't like it?" Daphne asked.
"Hmmmm..." Minerva pouted with a serious stare at Emilia.
"Wh-What's with the stare?" Emilia asked.
"Heh." Echidna rolled her eyes after looking at Emilia.
"Th-This is no time for... Stop playing around! Why are you suddenly saying all this?! That's not what we were talking about! You were saying that I'm utterly useless, that you couldn't put up with me!" Emilia yelled.
"Yeah, you're right." Subaru said.
"So why would you forgive me for being so useless?!" Emilia asked.
"If that answer is all you want, I've said it over and over! It's because I love you! I'm head-over-heels in love with you! Everything about you shines in my eyes! Yeah, of course, parts of you aren't perfect. You're not an angel, or a goddess. You're an ordinary girl. You'll feel so bad that you want to cry sometimes, and you'll want to run away from things that hurt! I get that!
But even including that weakness and the parts you might even call ugly... I love every part of your being, Emilia." Subaru said.
"That's just... t-too selfish! You just named all the things that make me useless, and you still say you love me? How can you expect me to believe you?!" Emilia angrily cried.
"*facepalm* When will she understand what bro says..." Al sighed.
"You can't do anything about her reaction, Al." Julius said.
"You're wrong! You've got it incompletely wrong! It's not because I believe in you that I love you! I believe in you because I love you!" Subaru yelled.
"Just loving someone isn't a reason to believe in them!" Emilia yelled back.
"If just loving you isn't a reason to believe in you... Then who the hell would willingly go through all this suffering to come and help a pain in the ass like you?! I love you so much it makes me crazy! I love you so much I could die! That's why I put up with the pain and suffering! Even now, I feel like I might puke, but I'm still standing in front of you!" Subaru said.
"I never asked you to do that! You're just being selfish! You're not thinking about my feelings at all! You have no idea how I feel every time I see you getting hurt because of me!" Emilia yelled.
"How would I know?! I don't even think about it! All I think about is how to look good in front of you! I'm suffering for you, here! At least try to look as cute as I hoped you would!" Subaru yelled.
"Don't talk like I'm just some doll! Why did you break your promise?! If you'd just done what I asked you to, that would've been enough! Why wouldn't you even do that?! You actually hate me, don't you?!" Emilia angrily asked.
"I love you!" Subaru yelled back.
"Liar!" Emilia yelled back.
"Ah! Damn this yelling from here and there! If Subaru didn't do his own part before, do you think he won't make everyone be as good as they are now?! I guess you are the selfish one here, you half-elf, because all you always do is to listen to that suspicious clown over there!" Priscilla angrily said.
"But..." Emilia uttered.
"No "But"s! Screw the part where everyone should feel sorry for you! Feel sorry at least to the people who gave their all for your shitty position in the royal selection, and not scold them about them not listening to whatever useless plans you have for them!" Priscilla angrily yelled.
"Alright, alright. Enough for the yellings in here as well!" Naofumi said.
"God, you're making me angry a lot..." Priscilla said and walks away. Emilia on the other hand, lowers her head and realized all the things Priscilla said to her.
"I'm not lying! I love you!"
"Then... Why? Why did you break your promise?" Emilia asked.
"I can't tell you..."
"If you'd stayed with me until morning like you promised, I think I could have believed you. I could have believed you and entrusted you with everything. But you... *sobs* Since Puck left, my memories have been slowly coming back. Sights in my mind that I don't recognize... Conversations I don't remember...
More and more of them keep coming back. I thought I remembered everything all this time, but I went and forgot them, as if they never existed. When all the memories come back, what's going to happen to me? Is this me... really me? I forgot so many important things. I even forgot about Mother. And yet... I'm not wrong?" Emilia asked. Subaru remembers what his mother said before to him.
"What matters isn't how you start or what happens in the middle. It's how it ends."
'Yeah... You're right, Mom.'
"No matter what memories you get back, it won't change everything. I love you. I'm always going to love you." Subaru said.
"I can't believe that. If the me that you say you love... g-goes away, could you still..." Emilia uttered.
"I could. No matter what happens, you're not going to go away. I love you." Subaru said.
"But you're a liar! You wouldn't make me believe you." Emilia said.
"Then I'll make you believe me now." Subaru said as he touches Emilia's shoulders.
"Satella?!" Subaru called as Satella barged away from them angrily and while crying.
"Uh oh..." Halibel chuckled.
"Uh... Subaru...?" Emilia asked in shock at what she's seeing. Puck widened his eyes after what he realized that is about to happen, and he smiled.
"For real, Subaru... You're about to do something that I didn't expect to happen..." Puck said.
"Huh? Huh?! What is going on?" Daphne asked.
"I don't know either!" Minerva angrily yelled.
"...hate you." Sehkmet heard someone mumbling from behind and it was Echidna with a frustrated look on what's she's watching right now.
"Well... You lose this time." Sehkmet yawned.
"Finally." Reinhard said with a smile. Julius nodded as he agrees with what Reinhard meant. And Ferris' ears start wiggling.
"Nya!" Ferris said.
Emilia and Subaru looked at each other with passionate looks, and started to close their eyes as they kissed each other and a light glows right between them.
"Satella..." Subaru uttered while looking at her and to himself kissing Emilia right down below.
"Go... Just go!" Satella sobbed. Rem, on the other hand, smiled at Subaru and Emilia's scene, even if it hurts her deep inside, but tries to keep supporting what's better for Subaru and Emilia.
"Rem, it's fine." Ram said.
"Oh, no, no! I'm okay, sister! Wherever Subaru-kun's happy at, I will also be happy as well for him, no matter what!" Rem replied.
"You still support him even if you don't have the-" Ram stopped as Halibel fired a pebble to her head and make her look for the sniper.
"I know what ya' about to say. Don't make your sister look like a loser in this one." Halibel sighed.
"Woohoo!"
"Yeah!"
"Hurrah!" The villagers and the Cast of Re:Zero except for some people cheered both the future Subaru and Emilia on this scene. Some witches have mixed reactions before this one and Roswaal sneered at the two.
"Holy shit. The clown smirks like a total jackass." Old Man Rom said and chugs another mug of beer.
"Good for them two!" Anastasia said.
"I hope that Emilia will finally face her greatest problems and will make the Sanctuary free after that." Crusch said with a smile.
"Gross..." Priscilla said.
"Hm? Are you jealous of them, my lady?" Al asked.
"And why would I?!" Priscilla angrily asked with a faint blush.
"Ooh... She's blushing." Al mumbled under his helm.
"You finally did it, Subaru-dono... I'm very proud of you." Wilhelm said.
"He did it... He did it!" Otto said with a shocked look.
"Hehe... Right...?" Carmilla said with a smile.
"I love you. No matter how many hopeless sides of you I see, and even if we argue like this... I'm never going to stop loving you. That won't change, no matter what happens. I'll just love you even more than before. That's why I'll always believe in you. And if you want to know why..." Subaru said.
"Because... you love me?" Emilia asked while touching her lips and tears fall from her eyes.
"With all those unfamiliar memories flooding you, it's only natural that you'd feel anxious and scared. But the path you've walked until now won't go away. You're going to be fine." Subaru said.
"How can you say that for sure?" Emilia asked.
"What matters isn't how you start. It's how it ends. The woman I respect the most in the whole world said so. You'll be fine, Emilia. I'm on your side. It's okay if you remember everything. And if you're still scared, we'll find it." Subaru said.
"Find... what?" Emilia asked.
"Just like my feelings for you make me able to keep running forward, you'll find your most precious feeling, the one that makes you able to blow away all the anxieties and run forward. Of course, I'd like to hope that precious feeling will be for me." Subaru said with a smile.
"My most... precious feeling... I wonder if it's among all these memories I've been getting back. My most precious feeling..." Emilia said with worry.
"Yeah, I'm sure it is. Your reason to keep walking is there." Subaru said. Emilia looked at Subaru passionately and nodded.
"Yeah." Emilia replied and the second title "A Reason to Believe" appears.
"Two titles for this one? Interesting." Echidna said.
"We are not done yet." Ainz said with his serious voice.
"What do you mean?" Ram asked.
Emilia and Subaru meet Garfiel outside of the Tomb with an angry stare right towards them, as he was already waiting for them.
"Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting." Subaru greeted.
"Ain't like I was waitin' for you." Garfiel said and the whole place blacked out.
"Eh!? Wh-What happened to us then?!" Otto cried.
"Maybe unconscious." Ram replied.
"How can you say that with pure confidence? I am not as tough as you!" Otto cried.
