div style="box-sizing: border-box;"CHAPTER 10/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Despite the unease that hung between them and the suspicions of the mansion's residents, Subaru tried his best to maintain a composed facade. Deep down, he couldn't deny the vomit and stress that was about to blow out of his throat. His 1st day in a new world and every second of it already feels like it could be his last… or is it already his 2nd day? It's too confusing to think about. He doesn't have enough mind power for it. All he knows is Tella-tan may actually be an angel who saved him from what could have been a too tragic dark ending of an Isakaied MC's first day. It's actually scary how much danger he was exposed to in just a few hours, Kami-sama doesn't have any ill will toward him or anything right? Subaru shivers on the thought shaking his head to think about something else./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Walking in the hallway with the half-elf pulling Subaru towards their location excitement churned within him at the thought of spending the night under the same roof as Satella./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"As they approached the room designated for them, Subaru took note of the subtle signs of the mansion's opulence. It was a stark contrast to the humble abode he had known back in his own world. The half-elf opened the door to their room, revealing a spacious and finely furnished chamber./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;""Here we are," Satella said, gesturing for Subaru to enter. "This will be your room for the night." our room./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Subaru stepped inside, his eyes widening at the sight of the elegantly decorated room. It was far more luxurious than he had ever imagined, with a large canopy bed and tasteful furnishings. He couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt, knowing that he was intruding into this world and its customs./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;""Wow, this place is amazing," Subaru remarked, taking in the grandeur of the room. "I never expected to find myself in a mansion like this his unease slowly giving way to curiosity. "So, what happens now?" he asked. "Are we just supposed to stay in our respective rooms for the night?"/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Satella hesitated for a moment before answering. "Right, I should have clarified earlier. This is my room. You'll be staying in my room."/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Subaru blinked, his mind struggling to process the implications of her words. "In your room? You mean...together?"/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"The half-elf nodded, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush. "Yes, together. I hope that's not a problem." Satella smiled faintly, though her eyes still held a trace of concern. " Subaru. I know this situation is strange, but I hope you can make yourself comfortable here."/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Subaru's heart raced at the thought. He had spent so much time fantasizing about being close to Satella, but he hadn't expected it to happen like this, in such a tense and uncertain situation. Nevertheless, he couldn't deny the thrill that coursed through him. Forgive me Kami-sama for doubting you./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;""N-no, it's not a problem at all," Subaru stammered, trying to maintain his composure. "I mean, if that's what's been decided, then I'm totally fine with it." Actually… have I really been this shameless, am I taking it too far!? Subaru thoughts./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Satella smiled, her eyes softening with gratitude. "Thank you, beloved Subaru. I appreciate your understanding."/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"As Subaru settled into the room, he couldn't help but wonder about the strange twists of fate that had brought him here. The world of Lugnica was a place filled with magic, mysteries, and dangers beyond his imagination. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, he found himself drawn to Satella, the half-elf who had saved him way too many times in a day and who also happened to confess her feelings to him./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Little did he know of the future that awaits them./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"…/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Settling into their room for the night, the half-elf felt a growing unease gnawing at the edges of her consciousness. It was a feeling she had been experiencing a lot lately—the Witch of Envy, that sinister presence lurking within her, was stirring./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"The half-elf tried to suppress the rising presence, to push the witch's influence back into the depths of her mind, it is taking a toll on her. She kept on losing more and more parts of her she can't even recall./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;""Not now… please not now. I'm already doing everything you want. Please leave me alone" her voice trembling as she speaks./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"The Witch of Envy's presence pulsed within her, a dark and insidious force. Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru… Aishiteru…/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;""Please Stop."/div

div style="box-sizing: border-box;""SHUT UP!"/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;""Are you alright, Tella-tan? You're not looking very well." Subaru asked with deep concern./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Snapping back to reality. The half-elf is trembling as she looks at him and looks at her hands. Everything has been too much. Too much. Tears began to well up and fall from her eyes and just as sudden she couldn't contain it anymore. She cried. She cried./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"The world is too unfair. Why was she even born? Only to suffer. And suffer. Why? Why? WHY? Is the world too cruel to her? shunned by society, and treated as an outcast because of her half-elf heritage. The disdainful looks, the hurtful words, and the isolation had left scars that ran deep within her soul. Why can't she remember anything good? Was her entire existence just a game the gods liked playing with?/div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Tears won't stop falling from her eyes as she surrenders to the weight of her despair. She had resigned herself to the notion that she may never experience true happiness, that her life had been destined for suffering from the very beginning./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"As she sat there, broken and defeated, The half-elf's heart ached for the girl she once was, the girl who had dared to dream of a brighter future. But now, that girl seemed like a distant memory, lost in the unforgiving tides of fate./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"Subaru didn't know why the half-elf suddenly acted this way but one thing for sure is that a person needs comfort and he done the only thing he knows./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"He hugged her./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"This is what his mom would always do when he felt at his lowest and somehow it always makes him feel better. Regret suddenly filled him as he remembered./div
div style="box-sizing: border-box;"He didn't get to say goodbye./div
