Subaru's Isekai Dream ch 12, when i first started this i didn't expect to get any kind of views but now i got quite a few so thank you all, If i slow down on uploading forgive me, i've been getting back into anime and manga, as always enjoy!

30 minutes had passed since Subaru sent Ram off to investigate Felix, he sat alone in his room thinking about what he could do with Crusch...Ram's words were really bothering him, of course Crusch was a woman and she was very attractive but she was also a very serious person with an intimidating aura, but at the same time she could be very compassionate and kind, times where he thought she'd act one way she would do the other, the talk they had after the white whale made him sort of feel something for her, for at least a second….and when they got drunk together and he had one of the best nights of his life...without sex of course, those came first, but still it made him see her in a new light, the morning after for a second he thought she seemed like someone who he would want to marry...Ugh, these thoughts drove him crazy, a simililar feeling arose in his heart when he let his mind wonder. How much time has passed since he started his thoughts? Not even a minute, this was getting frustrating for Subaru, he should just stop thinking with his dick all the time and he should be fine, deep in thought Subaru didn't notice the pink haired maid who entered his room.

[Ram] "Barusu, stop mumbling it will make people think you are crazier than you already are."

[Subaru] "Oh, sorry about that….Ugh this is your fault! If you didn't say all those things earlier i wouldn't be so conflicted right now…"

[Ram] "It wouldn't be a problem if Barusu didn't feel anything, of course if Barusu needs a clear mind Ram could-"

[Subaru] "stop that…"

[Ram] "Ha, either way at most it would be a simple crush."

[Subaru] "Yeah but if it is then it may be a problem...actually i should be fine, as long as i don't do any EMT shenanigans then i will make it by, plus a little flirting never hurts."

[Ram] "Seems like we will be leaving faster than Ram expected."

[Subaru] "Stop being so negative! Anyways did you talk to Felix?"

[Ram] "Yes but he didn't seem to want to talk although Ram did invite him out."

[Subaru] "Oh, i see, you need to makes sure you find out what his problem is and if possible fix it!:"

[Ram] "Yes that was Ram's plan, where does Barusu plan to take Crusch-sama?"

[Subaru] "hmm, i haven't decided, i think we would go by the plaza and walk and maybe later go by the lake that we passed by on the way here."

[Ram] "The one with the small house? That area seems secluded, be careful."

[Subaru] "Aw, you do care!"

[Ram] "Shut up before Ram kills you!"

Talking with Ram seemed to have killed enough time for Subaru, with Ram leaving the room once more to go back to Felix, Subaru wished he had done more investigating because in the far distance he could see storm clouds start to form, oh well they should be fine as long as wind doesn't bring them over. Peeking through into Crusch's study Subaru could see her seemingly wrapping up whatever work she was doing, whether she noticed him on her own or it was her divine protection Crusch seemed to automatically lock eyes with subaru and gesturing him in, again she shined him a smile that felt so welcoming and warm, she smiled with and at him before but recently it was just different.

[Crusch] "Natsuki-kun! You've arrived just on time, I was just heading to my room to change, would you please accompany me?"

[Subaru] "...uh.."

[Crusch] "Haha, You don't need to look so nervous, it seems I get to do the teasing now."

[Subaru] "pfft, i didn't know you had jokes."

[Crusch] "It wasn't but I didn't expect you to act so awkwardly, it's kinda cute."

[Subaru] "Uh huh, fine let's go then."

It seemed that Crusch had learned to tease at Subaru, she continues to surprise him the more he hangs out with her, the feelings he was feeling earlier disappeared, he was back to normal, this was simply a trip to bond as friends and he understands that better than ever now. Entering the room Crusch excused herself into what seemed to be her closet while Subaru made his way to the balcony, it was spacious and looking over a large part of the capital, Subaru could see how beautiful it really was. Caught up in the view Subaru didn't notice Crusch who had finished changing sneaking up behind him, with a loud "BOO" and something quickly grabbing his arms Subaru jumped up and let out a pitiful shriek which left Crusch laughing to the point where she had to hold her own stomach.

[Subaru] "Ugh, I'm gonna get you back later just watch!"

[Crusch] "HA, we will see. But the way you screamed was so funny! It would be nearly impossible to sneak up on me, my divine protection also tells me when someone tries just that!"

[Subaru] "Hmph, we'll see about that, are you ready?"

Crusch gave a nod while still laughing some, she wore what seemed to be her exact same outfit except she took off her coat leaving her with a white undershirt and her military pants, her hair was also tied up like it was back at the battle with the white whale, she looked cute he thought...Never would he had thought that one day he would be joking around with a person like her, he enjoyed this little hidden side of her, or maybe she was always like this and just appears serious for an image.

[Subaru] "Crusch, are you always like this? As much as i enjoy it, it still shocks me that the all mighty serious Crusch can be so fun and playful."

[Crusch] "Well in all honesty no, for whatever reason I only act this way around you, normally as you put it I am all serious."

[Subaru] "Oh, im honored, you got a crush on me or something?"

[Crusch] "Ha, do not flatter yourself, I've simply grown fond of you and our friendship that's all!"

[Subaru] "Oh? Then why are you blushing?"

[Crusch] "Huh!" Crusch immediately turned away and covered her cheeks with her hands.

[Subaru] "Ha, i got you back for teasing me earlier, c'mon let's go!"

Crusch turned back actually blushing now, whether that be from embarrassment or something else she still seemed to have a smile on her face, she playfully punched his arm which hurt Subaru a lot more than he cared to admit. Out the door and through the mansion they went, they kept a small conversation between them as they went, at the gate of the mansion Wilhelm offered to be an escort but they turned him down since he wouldn't be needed, even if they ran into trouble Crusch was a very capable fighter so they would be fine. Along a path that led to the heart of the city the two walked and enjoyed the scenery, by the way things were going they were having a genuine good time. Finally in the town the two walked around, it sorta reminded him of how he spent his first day in this new world with Emilia, the only problem right now was Subaru hadn't thought out anything for them to do and Crusch could easily pick this up and he seemed to be struggling for an idea.

[Crusch] "Natsuki-kun we should go to a bar!"

[Subaru] "Oh? Are you sure you can handle your liquor?"

[Crusch] "Hmph, it seems like you are challenging me?"

[Subaru] "Nope not at all, let's go then, just don't get drunk and we should be fine."

[Crusch] "I should be saying that to you, as your senpai i advise you not to get drunk!"

[Subaru] "Wow, real way to assert dominance and enforce the age gap, you are only like 2 years older than me so don't get so cocky!"

So the two entered the bar, it was in the evening so it had quite a few patrons in there, in like an old western when the two opened the doors the place all activity stopped to look at them, Subaru stopped in his tracks and was slightly intimidated by the gazes, Crusch on the other hand walked right in giving a fierce look of her own back at them, and with that regular activity continued back.

[Subaru] "Ho-how did you do that?"

[Crusch] "Well this area is in my vicinity so i may come here every now and then, please take a seat."

The more time Crusch and Subaru spend time together the more apparent it was that Crusch had a crush on him, Subaru noticed this early on but was in full denial, he liked her alot as friend but as any man with female friends he could also see her in another light, but since Subaru already had 3 girls it didn't seem like a smart idea to add another, he didn't love her or anything as that would be too extreme but there was something about her that made him think what if. Time in the bar went on, the two drank leisurely making sure to not to get drunk, unfortunately Subaru was a light weight since he had only drank 3 times including right now so he became tipsy quite easily which lead to a lot of teasing from Crusch, luckily he wasn't that close to being drunk it was more like he was a bit dizzy.

[Subaru] "I guess this is karma for provoking you huh."

[Crusch] "Seems so, come on we should be going now since you can't drink anymore."

[Subaru] "Alright….OH, I remember where I wanted to take you, it's a lake...uh, it had a small cabin next to it!"

[Crusch] "Yes i believe i know what you are referring to, it is not far lets go!"

Off the two went once again, talking and walking but it seemed Subaru wasn't the best at it right now because every now and then he would stumble and he would constantly sway. Crusch never had time for romance and the likes, most of her time was spent learning and trying to be productive, her education in the matter is limited but she knows the basics and at least how babies are made. Crusch didn't have many love interests in her time and recently not a single person came to her mind except occasionally Felix, but now whenever she was with Subaru it's like she turns into a different person, it's not that she didn't like the more fun side of her but she was afraid of the effect it would have on her image, not only that but she didn't understand why. Thinking of possible reasons she came up with the conclusion that she had started to like subaru...like a lot, if you were to put it on a scale from crush to love she would be pretty high up, at first she planned to start to distance herself from him but whenever she saw him and how much fun they had she couldn't bring herself to.

Arriving at the lake Subaru chose a spot near the water for them to sit, the lake was crystal clear and the flowers on the grass next to them gave way to a very romantic atmosphere….A little too romantic, Subaru could feel its effects...Crusch really did look beautiful in this light, the sun was starting to set and in about an hour it would be night….these thoughts distracted Subaru and he failed to notice that he just ended up staring at her. Crusch also absorbed by scenery couldn't help but feel seduced by the air around them, she stayed looking over the lake and admired the way the sun hit it, looking over to Subaru to share some thoughts she met his eyes and saw that he was just looking at her...There was nothing malicious in his stare, nothing amidst, it was the look of a person admiring something beautiful and she could feel that.

[Crusch] "Natsuki-kun….."

[Subaru] "...Eh?, ah i'm sorry i got lost in thought!"

[Crusch] "Oh…..it's fine, what were you thinking about?"

[Subaru] "hmm, i thought about how fun these two days have been!"

[Crusch] "Yes they were quite fun, it is getting chilly we should-"

Subaru had gotten up and went to sit directly next to Crusch wrapping his arm around her in a small attempt to warm her up, although it didn't necessarily warm her up externally inside of Crusch right now was a mess of emotions, the bar that was close to love seemed to have shot up and is in a unknown territory which scared her. Crusch sat there completely frozen in his arm to the point where Subaru thought he had given her the opposite effect, just as he was about to remove his arm Crusch wrapped both of her arms around his torso which made her head lean on his chest, the sudden embrace made subaru fall back but something about this made him feel safe and comfortable, the angle didn't allow him to see her face but if he did he could see that she was a shade of red that she never thought could happen to her.

[Crusch] "This is actually very comfortable…"

[Subaru] "Yeah it is...kinda makes me want to take a nap…"

[Crusch] "Me too, It's not the safest but i think we should be fine here…"

[Subaru] "Eh? Oh you're serious? Uh i guess…."

Not one of them moved, Subaru was taken back by her sudden request but he followed along nonetheless, the grass on their back was surprisingly soft, the wind was blowing nearly constantly and it made the area chilly but the small warmth from the sun and each other's body heat made a perfect combination for relaxing...They didn't know how much time had passed but slowly they drifted off into sleep without a care about their surroundings...Drip, Drip, Drip, There was something coming down and dripping onto Subaru's face, not only on his face but his whole body, waking up now subaru noticed that rain clouds had formed over head and was now beginning to pour down onto the sleeping duo. Crusch feeling the similar sensation of rain got up as well looking at Subaru who seemed to have just gotten up too.

[Subaru] "We gotta go now, it's about to rain really hard!"

[Crusch] "Yes, let's take shelter in the cabin up there, it has been abandoned recently we should be fine until the storm passes over!"]

Subaru nodded in agreement, the two were getting drenched and ran up the hill towards the cabin, it looked old but not run down, bursting through the door Subaru looked at the interior, it was a small stone cabin similar in design to the houses of the village, looking back at Crusch who had now came in the house and closed the door, she was soaked from head to toe, her white blouse wasn't as thick as Subaru thought since now he could see her green bra underneath. Subaru wasn't as wet as she was since his jacket was slightly water resistant so his black shirt underneath was relatively dry.

[Subaru] "Here, take my jacket, if you stay in those clothes you'll get sick...i wont look."

[Crusch] "Oh…...Uh, thank you Natsuki-kun, it's alright i should be fine for now."

[Subaru] "Yeah for now! Ugh if i push it any further it's gonna seem like i'm just trying to get you naked."

[Crusch] "Oh, Fufu- seems like you finally fell for me."

[Subaru] "Ha, in your dreams, you can't get me anymore!" Although Crusch said it as a joke she was really hoping he would say he did, but after hearing that she felt as if her heart stopped.

[Crusch] "Ah, you can be so cruel-"

"...Huh? What happened?...my arms…..they are tied up? …..i'm so dizzy and disoriented i can't even tell which way is up…..how did i get here….who is that over there bent down? They are covered and I can't even see their face…...on the floor….and ceiling…..is that blood?...what's that smell?...What happened?"

[?] "Ara ara, it seems you've finally woken up!"

"Oh….i remember…"

[Crusch] "Ah, you can be so cruel-"

In that instant Crush jumped forward at Subaru shoving him away…..he could feel a sharp pain on his chest when she pushed him, all he could see was the spraying of blood in the air, time seemed to have slowed down, where is the blood coming from? He not only could subaru see the blood but he could see fingers flying through the air, they were severed, subaru could still feel all his fingers on his hands….Finally smacking against the wall that he was pushed to Subaru saw the situation, his chest was now just slashed but if it wasn't for Crusch he would have been cut in two right now, the cut didn't seem too deep on first glance but-Crusch, what happened to her? Looking up Subaru could see the greenette standing tall and proud, three fingers from her left hand were missing but it's not like it mattered because right now she had no weapon, right now she was facing a person covered in black….No, he recognized this person….the nightmares he had and the suffering he felt were all because of this person.

[Elsa] "Oh my, you are quick on your feet but it seems not quick enough…."

Elsa Granhiert, the person who started off Subaru's suffering….Now's not the time to complain, Crusch is injured and they currently had nothing to defend themselves with and Elsa was a master at killing people, their situation was dire, although he hated it, Return by death is probably gonna activate soon. What can he do? His chest hurts like hell, he didn't know what Crusch was capable of right now and he couldn't just sit there and wait.

[Elsa] "In truth i only wanted...Subaru-kun...Right? Please forgive me. I am bad with names but since you are here i guess i will have to kill you too." Crusch didn't even flinch, the space between them wasn't much, if Elsa wanted she could run in and kill them both in an instant, forcing himself to stand Subaru joined the side of Crusch, they were most likely dead but he couldn't go out without trying. Crusch raised her hand and made a chopping motion towards Elsa, a blade of wind comes flying out forcing Elsa to dodge, Crusch continued to launch a flurry of wind attacks towards the dodging Elsa who held her same sadistic smile the whole time, as the attacks went on Elsa inched her way closer to the two, how long did they have? 10 seconds? 5 seconds? Most likely she is going to go for a final charge within the next 5 seconds….The door!, if they run back they can make it out the door and back to the town within minutes, but just because they make it out doesn't mean they are safe….Think Subaru think! Times up, Elsa jumps from the floor to the wall and then straight at the two with her blade in hand, this is it….

[Subaru] "SHAMAAAAC!"

A cloud of black smoke fills the room leaving nothing in sight, when subaru shouted his spell he also tackled Crusch to the ground...he could feel the mana pouring out of his body, soon his body will give out but right now he has to grab Crusch and run, grabbing her uninjured hand Subaru yanked her off the ground and made a mad dash towards the door...He was maybe a few feet away from it when Crusch suddenly yanked him backwards basically sending him flying behind her, what happened next he couldn't see clearly due to him landing roughly. Right where Subaru once stood was Crusch and in front of her was Elsa, something was wrong...suddenly Crusch started to stubble, blood dripped onto the floor where she stood….Falling backwards Subaru rushed to catch her and once he did he finally saw the damage, currently her stomach was slashed open from side to side, her entrails were peeking out…..Tears fell from Subaru's face onto the dying Crush's….at this point her body had grown cold and she began losing feeling throughout her body….Why does she have to die with so many regrets she thought, she didn't like the crying face a Subaru right now, it was too sad she thought...Life was fleeting from her.

[Crusch] "Sm-smile…."

[Subaru] "Huh…?"

[Crusch] "Smile…..for me…..please…"

Her words made every tear that he tried holding back come flooding out but even then he tried to respect her wish and forced the best smile he could…Crusch felt happy that the last thing she would see was the smile she had grown to love...With the last of her strength Crusch lifted her head up and met his lips with a kiss….it was short and simple but to her it was to best thing in the world, she died looking happy with the same smile she would bless Subaru with….

[Elsa] "Oh my, that was quite sad it almost made me feel bad for what i did! Almost, although I did give you a minute to say your goodbyes so that means you both really touched my heart."

[Subaru] "...how can…..a BITCH LIKE YOU HAVE A HEART!"

[Elsa] "Oh my, such aggression...well it seems like i need to complete my mission so if you would please- Oh wow, she has such lovely guts!"

[Subaru] "I'LL KILL YOU!"

Subaru in a fit of rage dropped the deceased Crusch that he was holding and charged at Elsa who swiftly choppe him in the neck.

"Oh….so that's how i got here…"
