-angel xd- thanks, and yeah I know it's simple but I hope that changes as the story continues.
-gacs- so um, believe it or not, Subaru actually wasn't needed for Emilia to find the loot house as in the final loop Emilia got to the loot house without his help.
-memorysoul- yea I thought that would be a fun and nice thing to add.
-guest- so yeah I know last chapter was kind of rushed and I skipped some thing but most of the f it was intentional. As I don't really know how they get their insignia and I plan to use it as a flashback.
-amberessing- so I don't really mind spoiling my story it's just that I might end up changing my idea so I don't really want to tell you something and the change it. But in response to your question, Subaru will see Emilia as a little girl.
-Seinfeld- so honestly I decided to do something different and I have a more physical description in this chapter.
Ram was in dark cave the air was stale and damp. She could barely see. Looking forward she saw a dim purple light. Walking up to the light she saw Subaru.
He was sitting down. His head was drooping she shook him but he didn't wake.
"Barusu. Barusu! Barusu!."
Now she shook him frantically. Then he looked up.
"Oh hey, ram, What's wrong."
His voice was strained and he sounded hurt. Looking over him ram could see blood. She tried to stop the bleeding, but it just seemed like every time she covered one wound ten more appeared.
Now she was scared the bleeding wasn't stopping and at this rate, he would die.
"Hey stay with me!"
He shook his head. Then grabbing her hand he smiled. It only reaffirmed her fears as now blood was leaking out of his mouth.
"I really am useless aren't I."
She shook her head.
"Stop talking save your strength."
"No, I'm not long for this world."
She refused to accept this.
"Stop it your making a fool of yourself."
He chuckled.
"A fool's life with a fool's end. Fitting doesn't it."
Then she felt his pulse weaken. Now desperate she tried everything she could think of to keep him awake. Only for his pulse to finally stop.
She hugged him and cried. Cried until she could not anymore. Then she just sat there quietly. Feeling tired she closed her eyes.
I'm shot off the bed rubbing her face she felt tears run down it. After getting dressed she walked to Subaru's room. On the walk, she wondered what drove Subaru to make a castle this big and this stupid.
The castle was more like five pillars connected by hallways. Each pillar was tall on its own but the tallest was the main pillar in the center. Each pillar Subaru had given its name. There was alpha, beta, gamma, Delta, Epsilon.
Alpha was where she, her sister, and Subaru resided. Beta was the guest quarters. Gamma was an armory. Delta was the farm whatever that meant. Epsilon was the smallest of the towers and also housed pandemonium the system.
Overall the castle was less a castle and more of a bunch of towers connected by hallways or walls.
Though she did have to give credit to Subaru. According to him, the walls are made of a metal that could absorb energy and we're virtually instructable.
And with it being in the air made it impossible to attack.
ram arrived at Subaru's room. Pausing she heard Subaru's voice along with the lifeless voice of pandemonium.
"Are you sure you want to implement these safety protocols?"
"Yes make sure Ragnarok and doomsday are on constant standby."
"Yes sir."
"What's next on the list."
"Other than setting up the defenses and checking on the core, nothing. "
"Alright give me the status update."
"All systems are at 80% power consumption 10% core 99%. Defenses 100% weapons system unavailable."
"How long do we have till the core has to recharge."
"Estimated time is one month."
"Ok well, thanks you can leave. I'm tired from staying up all night."
Ram left after that wondering what all those words meant. She would make sure to ask Subaru what they meant. Turning around she saw rem.
"Hi, rem his your morning."
"It's good is Subaru up yet."
She shook her head. Then she and rem began to walk. Rem looked like something was afflicting her.
"Hey what's up rem something bothering you."
Rem nodded as quietly explain her dream.
"I was laying on Subaru's lap. Then when I looked up something felt off. I couldn't tell immediately but I just knew something didn't feel right. After a while, I heard a crack. Then I looked up and saw Subaru's face had a crack. Them more and more appeared and he began to crumble. And, and I couldn't stop it."
Ram hugged her sister as she began to cry. Weird they both had nightmares the same night Subaru stayed awake.
Ram shook the thought from her head. She walked her sister to the outskirts of the castle. Looking down ram saw the capital in the distance. They still had a week until they were summoned.
Ram wonder what crazy plan Subaru had cooked up this time.
"Fuck!"
Roswaal shouted as he threw a chair across the room. This was bad. Emilia was supposed to gain the support of the sword saint. Now after hearing of what happened he was surprised. Only one man had been too unpredictable for even his teacher.
"What are you on about now I suppose."
Roswaal had a brilliant idea. Over the years he's tried to keep an eye on Subaru and although it had been touch and go for some time the information his spies were able to bring to him was more than enough.
The only thing his spies were able to learn was Subaru knew how to harness fire. He also knew how this world worked. And he knew that's what his teacher would have wanted.
So he turned to Beatrice maybe he could get Subaru on his side.
"I think I've found that person."
And that's it yeah short chapter I know but this is mostly set up for the next chapter and also for my Halloween one-shot coming out on you guessed it Halloween.
