I wave to the panting Gameshark. "What's up bro, wanna double team this guy with our swords?" Well, Gameshark's sword is still sheathed.
The Sword Saint takes a pause to look at me, first his eyes widen and then he smiles. "Subaru!? You came back!" Guess who's back, back again, it's me, there is no joke.
I nod. "Yeah, sorry I just had to go harem hunting, anyways, how is the fight going?" It looks like not well.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like anyone can do anything about Gameshark, but he does have opponents he can't defeat.
Mostly authority users, they trump his blessings after all, in a way they are his natural enemy.
Of course, Gameshark has so many blessings that he would still crush most authority users, but there are a few exceptions.
He grits his teeth. "The fight could be going better... Also, your new hair looks fantastic my friend, you pull off white really well." Yay! My bro noticed my new hair do!
He looks into the forest. "However, not everyone is so lucky, his white hair looks... Well, not bad, but not great either." So it really is Regulus huh?
He's a complete void to my Six Eyes, his time erasure really is a pain... But now that I'm close I can see several connections leaving his body, probably his wives.
Regulus kicks dirt at Reinhard. "Are you saying this strangers hair is better than mine!? What kind of rude thing is that!? What's wrong with my appearance!?" Nothing really, we just don't like you.
Reinhard easily dodges the dirt, and Regulus continues. "Seriously! The nerve! I'm a guest here, so make sure to treat me decently, isn't something like this a violation of my rights as a human!?"
Before he can continue I point at him. "Shut up! Your rights is what I give you! You're on my property, so stop acting like you're some kind of king! Virgin!" He doesn't fuck his wives.
I start laughing at my masterful observation. "That's right you're a virgin! A little man who never put his penis into a vagina! Or had a penis put in his butt, I don't judge, actually I do judge, I judge little virgins like you! So! Fuck! Your! Wives!"
Regulus actually shuts up and begins looking at me with widened eyes, so I continue. "You're a limp dicked bastard dude, and in my property you will only get rights when all of your wives are pregnant... But since you clearly aren't up to the job..."
I point at myself. "I'm doing it! I'm going to fuck every single one of your wives, yes. Every. Single. One, because I'm a caring individual who cares about other individuals!"
I chuckle. "I'm going to make you watch it after I do it as well! You're gonna see my cum dripping from the pussy's of your wives! You're gonna die with that knowledge in your brain!"
Regulus just keeps blinking, I think I broke him forever, which is a good thing, so I dont really feel bad at all.
Reinhard raises a hand. "Subaru, I am a virgin as well? Do you consider me a loser?" Ah shit, I forgot there were other people here.
I wave him off. "Nah bro, you may be a virgin, but you also don't have a harem, he is evil because he doesn't satisfy his women."
He nods. "I see... But what about asexual people Subaru?" Why are you questioning me about this!?
Yet again I wave him off. "They're fine too, mostly because they don't kidnap women... Most of them." I salute you, few asexual guys that do that for some reason or another.
He looks confused. "How do you even know about this supposed harem of his? I don't think he mentioned it in our fight."
I shrug. "A harem king recognizes another, even if he is less king and more harem peasant." He is Truly my nemesis.
Not only does he not fuck his wives, he also orders them to show no emotion... Might as well fuck an onahole at that point.
Don't get me wrong, it might be fun to do that to a girl once or twice, but his entire harem had that gimmick.
I guess I shouldn't be talking though, since I plan on stealing his hard work, but it's whatever, since I can do no wrong.
Yep, when I do it, it's fine, and I still get to criticize others! It's the dream really, also at least I'm fucking my wives.
Regulus finally reboots, he swings his arm at me, sending a wave of time erased wind, but since I have the Six Eyes I can see it clearly.
I dodge it while he begins ranting. "T-this...! Never before have I been so disrespected, not only do you call my harem a bunch of unfaithful whores, but you also call me a virgin!? Just because I never had sex?!" Yes, that's what it means to be a virgin.
He stomps the ground. "How can you even say those things!? We don't even know each other! We haven't even introduced ourselves! You realize that you're such a dumb fool that you said those things before introductions!?"
"This is absurd! Now, I'm a reasonable man, so if you had only insulted my wives I would be willing to forgive you, but you also insulted me as well."
"Now I have no choice but to kill you, and then kill a few of my wives for spreading rumors about my virility!" You just assumed it was your wives doing!?
"See how much of a horrible being you are!? I'm a loving, caring husband, and yet you are forcing me to hurt my precious wives, just because you couldn't keep your mouth shut!"
"I bet you do that to everyone, pointing out perceived flaws to get sick kicks over it, well other people may be fine with it, but I'm not!"
"Your awful, rude, ways of villainy end today, by my hand! I will kill you! You said you had a harem right!? Well, then I'll kill your harem as well!"
"And it won't even be a bad thing, those poor women having to spend time with you, I have half a mind to take them out of their misery!"
"Besides, my love for my wives is purer than you could ever imagine! I carefully picked each one, why would I stain them with lust!? Who would do that!? A pig! Only a disgusting pig would do that!"
He points at himself. "Are you calling me a pig!? Is that it!? Some digusting pig that would dare to... Procreate with his wives!? As if I ever do something so awful to them!"
He points at me. "The only pig here is you! Driven by lust, unable to think! Can't you see that no one likes you! No one!"
Gameshark yet again raises his hand and interrupts Regulus. "That's not true! I like Subaru!" Oh, how cute, he's blushing... Well, he is a guy, so it's a bro type of cute.
I look at him and give him a smile. "Thanks bro." I missed my bro!
He smiles back. "No need to thank me Subaru, you must not let this man lower your self-esteem." As if Regulus could hurt my feelings.
Regulus begins walking towards Gameshark. "Who gave you permission to interrupt me you shitty malcontent!" He tries to grab Gameshark.
His speed really is amazing, even though he isn't running at all, but... I pull him back destroying a part of the forest in the process.
"Blue." I essentially did the same thing Gojo did against Toji, Regulus is always invincible after all, but he has to consciously choose not to be moved.
Gameshark gives me a smile. "Thank you Subaru, but I have this handled, please go help the others, they are-" I know, I know.
I put my hand up and interrupt him. "It's fine bro, I got some legendary sword that allows me to separate myself into four, currently there's a bunch of Subaru's around."
He seems shocked. "I never heard of such a powerful legendary sword! Such an amazing artifact... May I see it?"
I nod and draw the Four Sword from my shadow, I then hand it to him. "Here you go bro."
He inspects the blade. "Such masterful craftsmanship... To think such a blade existed without the knowledge of Lugunica." It didn't!
He hands the blade back to me. "It's a wonderful sword Subaru, one worthy of being held by your skilled hands." Eh, the Master Sword is technically better.
I do a few swings in the air with the sword. "It's pretty great, but it doesn't have too many special abilities." It's certainly no Noble Phantasm.
Gameshark sighs. "Your standards are too high my friend, the ability to divide yourself is truly incredible... And you don't seem to be any weaker for it either." Yeah... But no sword beam.
I nod. "Yeah, all my copies are the same strength, that's pretty broken, I guess." It wasn't that special with Link, mostly because he was a child at the time.
But Imagine four Gamesharks? Crazy... Or four Mili's? Hot... I just found out this blade is truly the best one ever.
Suddenly we hear the sound of the wind being cut, Regulus just threw a tree at us, I duck under it while Gameshark jumps over it.
Regulus comes running over. "You two bastards! Who gave you permission to start chatting in the middle of our fight!? Can't you losers see that I'm right here!?"
He walks over to me, it's uncanny how fast he moves even when he's just walking, it almost looks like reality is glitching.
He kicks dirt at me, I dodge it, but not completely, instead I let one of my arms take the hit while using Limitless.
I want to see if my curse technique can stop his time rending attack, I might as well learn this in a more controlled environment.
The dirt rips of my arm, I guess that answers my question. "Ouch." It hurts of course, but my pain resistance has gone up like crazy after I got eaten by Daphne.
Regulus laughs. "Yes! That's the fate that scum like you deserve, now slowly bleed to death while you regret your misdeeds!"
Gameshark gives me a worried look. "Subaru! Retreat, I'll deal with him!" Oh, doesn't he know I'm that guy.
I wave Gameshark off, with my remaining arm of course. "It's fine bro, I was just seeing if I can tank his blows." I point at my regenerating arm. "Also this... I ate a immortality pill." Thank you Juuzou.
Gameshark's jaw hits the floor. "What have you been doing these past few days!?" Didn't I already tell him? Just harem building.
I shrug. "Going on adventures and stuff, it was pretty neat, also I increased my harem by like... Nine people, I think?" It's hard to keep track of everyone, I sympathize with you Regulus.
Actually I don't, I prefer to just say I forgot the name of one of my waifus over calling her a number.
Gamershark sighs. "That's... At least I'm glad you obtained some powerful passive regeneration, it's always nice to have something like that." Yeah, gotta keep stacking those regens.
Regulus looks to the side and mutters. "Tsk, nine? I could definitely get that in one travel if I wanted, I just look for quality instead of quantity." He's insecure about it!? Of course he is, it's Regulus, he's insecure about everything.
I point at him and laugh. "I'll have you know I go for both! Also I have sexed my women, so get fucked loser!"
Gameshark sighs. "Are we going to repeat what just happened?" Probaly.
Regulus kicks dirt at me, this time I completely dodge it. "Stop mocking me! Who gave your permission to do that!? Have you no consideration for the feelings of others!?"
He keeps throwing his tantrum, destroying everything on his path. "Damn it! Why won't you die already! Stop dodging, and stop healing! Be a decent human being for once and turn into a corpse!"
I give him a grim. "The only thing I'm doing is turning your wives pregnant." All of them!? Yes, all of them Piccolo, they are technically named characters.
Actually they are literally unnamed characters, but they also kinda aren't? It's weird, Regulus put me in a though spot.
But as Regulus attacks me I realize a problem... How the fuck am I gonna kill him here and fuck his wives?
Now don't get me wrong, killing him is fucking easy as hell, I can think of multiple ways to do it, like the obvious one of just cutting him down with Juuzou's skills.
But I could also make him sink in my shadows, or perhaps use Mahoraga's adaptation.
Orsted had space-time magic too, I just hadn't messed with that stuff yet, because it was complicated as fuck.
And since he was evil as fuck, and authorities are evil as fuck, I'm sure the Master Sword would fucking destroy his ass, the Light Arrows could probably do the same too.
Killing Regulus isn't the problem however, the problem is containing Regulus, I need to find his wives and fuck them in front of him after all.
He can't watch and despair about it if he's dead, and there's also the problem of finding his wives... I can kinda see their connections with the Six Eyes, but it isn't enough to find where they are.
Fuck it, I'm sinking him on my shadows, it's not like he's gonna die inside of them anyways, and I can find his wives later.
I dodge another blow from Regulus, as he break a tree and sends the splinters flying. "Yo, ready to sink Arch-Bishop?" I teleport to his back. "I have no good one liner." And so I try pulling him into my shadow.
He resists, and suddenly I can't move him. "This!? How annoying can you be!?" After shouting he tries to hit me with a backhanded slap.
I teleport back to Gameshark. "Well, I just upped the difficulty, sorry bro." I guess Regulus started resisting movement.
Gameshark shakes his head. "It's fine, at least it worked for a moment... This man seems truly invincible." He's annoying that's for sure.
The Sword Saint gives me a serious look. "Subaru, has Lord Roswaal informed you about a new prophecy from the dragon? One about a new menace?" Oh, that thing...
I nod. "Yeah, Devil of Greed and stuff, I know." It's talking about me, after all.
Gameshark nods. "I believe the prophecy is about this man, he is certainly strong enough to fit." That's... I guess I could give Regulus the credit, but...
No fucking way, I'm not letting Regulus steal my swag. "You're wrong Gameshark, he's strong sure, but he's not skilled at all, nor is he a threat, he's only a gimmick fighter." And I know his weakness.
He shakes his head. "I don't exactly agree with you Subaru, he is definitely a threat, besides you missed his introduction, he calls himself Regulus, Arch-Bishop of Greed."
I scowl. "No, there's no way that guy is the big bad the prophecy spoke of, trust me Gameshark, he doesn't have enough... Presence." Also, I'm the evil overlord here! Not him!
Gameshark sighs. "I'll take your word for it my friend, but get ready, here he comes again..." Comes... Hehe.
But I do have an idea. "Gameshark, Imma seal his ass with my other super special sword." I ignore Gameshark's confused look.
And I draw the Master Sword from my shadow, though I don't intend to kill Regulus with it.
The Master Sword can seal evil, it sealed Demise that one time, so it can probably seal Regulus too.
Gameshark's eyes widen. "That's...! The world itself is singing praises!" It is? That's pretty cool I guess.
Regulus just sighs. "Ugh... More sticks? What are you two? Barbarians, oh who am I kidding, of course you two are bar-" I interrupting him, by stabbing his stomach.
The Master Sword glows brightly, and completely ignores his defenses, and then... Sucks him in up. "What!? Stop this at onc-" And now he's sealed.
I sit on the ground. "Lame, just like everything related to Regulus I suppose." I just know one of the other Subaru's is doing something really cool right now.
Gameshark smiles. "I for one think you acted quite cool Subaru." I'm always cool, but thanks I guess.
Oh, new Subaru memories, I look at Gameshark. "By the way bro, I just killed the White Whale." I'm currently beating a cultist to death with its intestines.
It's like a gigantic, mega awesome whip, and whips are cool, just ask canon Subaru.
He sits besides me and sighs. "I... That's good, I suppose." That's a weird reaction.
I raise an eyebrow. "Really, that's it? I expected more." The White Whale was the beast that brought some much despair to his family after all.
He shakes his head. "Do not misunderstand me, I'm glad that monster is gone, but considering our situation, I'm guessing the Witch's Cult was involved?"
I nod. "Yeah, they could control the thing, and were trying to attack Arlam, my other self is currently there whipping out cultists."
He nods. "I see, then we should probably move, there are other threats around... One of them might be as powerful as Greed." I doubt it, Regulus is the strongest Arch-Bishop.
I shake my head. "Nah it's fine, the Subaru Rangers got everything handled Gameshark, so just stay resting." None of my Subaru's were having trouble.
He smiles. "I see, you really are amazing Subaru, in but a few days you obtained equipment worthy of a hero of legend." Yes, they literally came from one.
I stretch my arms. "Yeah, also I got some sweet sword moves now, pretty sure I reached the level of your ancestor." I might have even surpassed him.
He chuckles. "Just like that? I'm glad you're advancing quickly, seeing you get stronger makes me happy."
I nod. "Yeah, I have to keep my promise to you after all, the one about retiring your sword." I think I might be able to beat Gameshark nowadays.
He blushes a little and scratches his cheek. "I can definitely see that your serious about it, I appreciate it Subaru."
I pat his shoulder. "Of course I was serious about it Gameshark, your happiness is important." A true Subaru never lets his bro's down!
He covers his face for some reason. "I... Don't know what to say to that Subaru, but thank you, for the bottom of my heart." Oh, he is all embarrassed, how adorable.
I smile. "It's fine... But, are you sure your okay with the whole whale thing?"
His smile cracks a little. "Like I said, it's fine, though I must warn you, my grandfather will probably punch your face." Eh, I plan on punching him too.
Gameshark continues. "And after that he will probably bow until his head touches the ground and thank you again, and again, please take no offense to his previous actions then."
I wonder if he will let me take your Grandma as compensation then? Probaly not, but I can't just let Theresia unfucked!
I mean she was fucked before, that's why you exist, but Wilhelm is super old nowadays, does his sword even work anymore?
I shrug. "Eh, I don't really care about an old man, no offense, but... I just want to know, are you really okay Gameshark? Like a 100% okay?"
He looks to the sky. "It's... Strange, I suppose." Beako!? "I-I always figured that the one to kill that thing would be my grandfather, or perhaps my father, I never expected to be someone else."
I raise an eyebrow. "Did you ever want to kill it?"
He shakes his head. "No... Well, maybe, I would have certainly tried, if I ever met the beast, it has caused countless deaths after all."
He stares at his hands. "But why would I, specifically I, hunt it down? That's something I don't deserve..."
He sighs. "In the end, I am the one that caused the death of Theresia Van Astrea, no one else, not my father and not my grandfather... Me."
He continues. "I have no right to avenge her death, that's what my grandfather told me, I have no right to mourn her either, that's what my father told me."
There's tears in his eyes. "I... I... I miss grandmother, I know it's pathetic of me, I really do, a monster like me shouldn't get to feel this, but...!"
He clenches his fists. "Sometimes I can't help it, I wish she was here, to tell me it wasn't my fault, that's what I am, a murderer desperately begging for forgiveness he does not deserve."
And then Gameshark finally finishes. "That's why I couldn't hunt down the whale, I must not repent, I must not spit on the face of my grandmother, the woman who would have never said the hurtful things my father and grandfather said."
I... Can't really say anything to that, there's no words I could ever give that would end the guilt he feels, because he doesn't want the guilt to end.
So I pull his head to my lap. "I see, that sucks bro." Lap pillows are the greatest healer in Re: Zero, if this doesn't work, I don't know what will.
He seems confused. "S-Subaru!?" To be fair I did just give him an involuntary lap pillow, so it's understandable.
I smile. "Don't worry bro, like I said, I got everything handled over at the mansion and the village, so feel free to cry your heart out."
He immediately bursts in tears. "I...! Why did it have to be me!? I don't need these stupid blessings! There are people worthier!" Not really...
I just nod along. "Sorry you had to go through that bro, don't worry though, I'll be the big hero, so there's no need for you to worry." I have the power of cheats on my side!
He just continues crying. "I-I... Subaru I lov-" He stops. "Subaru... Do you think Adelheid is a good name?" What's with the sudden change!?
I smirk. "It sounds pretty good." I think I have heard that name before actually... Probably not that important.
Gameshark smiles. "I see, Subaru do you like girls with long hair or short hair?" Why are we talking about hair suddenly!?
I sigh. "Don't go around spreading this... But I prefer long hair." If BGR learns this she will kill me.
Reinhard nods on my lap. "Understood." You understood what!?
And so for some reason I [Subaru Natsuki] had to spend a bunch of time explaining my taste in women to Gameshark.
"Oh, so this is the new owner of the Wrath factor... An elf? That silver hair sure does bring back bad memories." The white haired woman that suddenly appeared said.
Who is she? And besides her there's also... "Is anyone hurt!? I can help it! Really!" The blond woman covering her face.
She's familiar for some reason, my heart is hurting just by looking at her, even if I can't see her actual face.
The battle has completely stopped out of nowhere, the Wrath Arch-Bishop now completely silent.
But she isn't the only one, Roswaal is looking at the white haired woman with disbelief in his eyes.
Still I raise a hand. "Um... I could use some healing miss." The Arch-Bishop had managed to get some hits in, so I'm a bit hurt.
I could handle her just fine when fighting at a distance, but not at close quarters, she was very skilled with her chains.
Well, I do now have some experience with the sword, but I'm still fairly new at it, even If Reinhard is training me using his blessings.
The blond haired woman immediately rushes to me, she stops covering her face, and... And, for some reason my heart feels like it's about to explode.
She checks all over me. "Really!? Where!? Show me quick!" There's genuine worry on her voice.
I nod. "She cut my back pretty bad one time..." I could feel my blood slowly pouring out.
The woman nods with a serious face and pulls me into a hug, not only that, she also hits my back.
But instead of pain I now feel completely fine, like there isn't a wound at all, what kind of incredible healing is this?
The Wrath Arch-Bishop falls to her knees, holding her head with both of her hands, she keeps muttering. "You? Is it you? Why is it you? It's really you..." She sounds so, so sad.
The Arch-Bishop suddenly gets up. "Y-you...! How dare you! After so many years!" She starts building up fire mana and fires at us. "She's my little girl! I showed her love and care, you can't take her away from me!
The massive inferno quickly approaches us, but the white haired woman swipes her hand. "Amateurish." And the blaze that could consume the entire mansion is gone.
Roswaal is on his knees. "It's... Really you? B-but how!?" His tone has a mix of despair and sadness.
The white haired woman grins. "My beloved brought me back, be happy my student, for I walk once more." Her beloved?
Roswaal looks down. "Y-your beloved? That's... What do you mean my teacher?" So she's Lord Roswaal's teacher!?
The white haired woman's grin only gets bigger. "You know who he is, because him and me are one in the same, Subaru Natsuki is greed." She's talking about Subaru?
Roswaal smiles, he's crying. "Ah, I knew it, both of you are the same coin!" Eh!? That woman doesn't look like Subaru at all though...
The white haired woman slowly nods. "Yes, definitely... Anyways, let's restrain the Arch-Bishop, my beloved will want her body." Wow! So forward!
The Arch-Bishop seems completely angry. "No! You don't get to come here and steal her! Apologize to my brother! Apologize to my husband! Apologize to me! Apologize to my daughter!" She sends another inferno in our direction.
The white haired woman blocks it again, her control over mana is incredible, far beyond me, she might even be better than Lord Roswaal.
She looks back to the court mage. "Keep it up Roswaal, I will defend while you block her authority."
Roswaal nods. "Yes Echidna-Sama! I won't fail you!" So her name is Echidna?
Echidna and Sirius start their magical duel, but Sirius seems to be ignoring Roswaal's teacher, she just keeps firing magic after magic at me and the blond woman.
She shouts like a maniac. "Minerva! Minerva! Minerva! Ah... I shouldn't scream when children are in the room, sorry, Minerva!"
Speaking of the blond woman, she hasn't released me from her hug yet, it's dangerous to do that when the Arch-Bishop is clearly aiming at us.
I can't help, but ask her to release me. "Miss... Minerva? We should rea~lly move!" Echidna seems really strong, but you never know!
The woman just hugs me tighter. "Sorry, just a little bit more... Just a lot more." There's a crazy woman attacking us! It's not the time!
I shake my head. "No, she sending a bunch of fire at us! We could get hurt!" It wouldn't just hurt is either, we would die.
The woman sighs. "You're right, sorry..." She turns around and points at the Arch-Bishop. "And who do you think you are!?"
There's a sudden surprising amount of anger from Minerva at Wrath, and I wanna be angry too, but Wrath just seems so... Devastated.
Sirius seemingly realizes how futile magic is and tries to switch to melee, rushing at Minerva. "Don't act like you don't know me!" She spats every word.
Echidna could have easily interfered, but instead she just smugly grin. "Fool, you wish to challenge Minerva in hand to hand combat? You really are wrathful."
Wrath and Minerva clash, but it's clear that the blonde is years ahead of her, it's not too long until Minerva kicks one of Sirius chains in the ground, burying it, and locking Sirius in place.
Minerva glares at her. "So who are you huh!? You think you can stop my big reunion!?" Big reunion with who?
I can't help but mutters. "Eh, what's Miss Minerva talking about?" Did she also know Roswaal?
Echidna rolls her eyes. "Typical... Another silver haired bimbo..." What does bimbo mean?
Sirius is crying. "Go away! Leave! You can't just come back now, not now! Ah, I shouldn't have interrupted your reunion, I'm sorry..."
Minerva nods. "Good! You made me mad for a second, but I-!?" She apparently notices something, slowly she gets closer to the Arch-Bishop. "F-Fortuna!?" Huh?
...
I see, Sirius is a fake name, her real one must be Fortuna, just like my mother, she's also an elf, just like my mother, she's also has silver hair, just like my mother, she also has amethyst eyes, just like my mother, she also has mean eyes, just like my mother.
She also uses fire magic, just like my mother, she also loves a green haired man, just like my mother, she also has a soft tone, just like my mother, she also says lying is bad, just like my mother.
I need Subaru, I need Puck, I need Beatrice, I need Shaula, I need Reinhard, I don't want to vomit.
Fortuna keeps crying. "Why!? Why didn't you save them! You could have driven them off! You could!" Save who? Drive who off? Explain it, if you don't I can't understand it.
Minerva steps back in shock. "I... What? Why are you holding the wrath witch factor!? There's no way you can handle it!"
There's a twisted smile on Wrath's face, that smile remain even while she cries. "Ah... I really can't, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother anyone, I'm just looking for my husband, his name is Petelgeuse, after I find him I'll leave, again, I'm sorry."
...
My head hurts, my chest hurts, my heart hurts, this woman is hurting me, her poor impersonation of mother Fortuna is hurting me.
Minerva's eyes are wide. "Geuse too? But... He would never take Sloth, right?" Why are you talking about Geuse, she said Petelgeuse.
Her husband is called Petelgeuse, that's not the same as Geuse, that's not the same, that's not the same, that's not the same.
I really need Puck... I can't be this weak again.
I slap both of my cheeks and move close to Wrath.
I swallow something that doesn't exist. "Are you my mother?" I can't ask anything else.
At first no one reacts, but then Minerva looks down to the ground and hides her face...
And then Sirius smiles. "Of course I am silly! Who else would I be?" Ah... I don't know what to do anymore.
Suddenly there's a big crash close to us, someone just landed here, it's...
Subaru, but his hair is white, and he's holding Beatrice in his arms in a bridal carry.
His smile calms my heart. "Wow! So many mothers in one place." And he immediately enters saying something silly, the dunderhead.
I breath a sigh of relief, I don't feel like vomiting anymore.
AN: Next chapter should be the final one in the mansion invasion arc, and then I'm probably going back to slice of life chapters again for a while, I've missed those.
And then finally, after those, we can start the royal selection, kinda crazy we're almost 200k words in and Subaru hasn't interacted with any of the candidates, besides Felt in chapter one...
Anyways, a Emilia, Minerva and Fortuna foursome gets ever closer to happening!
If you're wondering what Petelgeuse is doing while all of this is happening... He's just vibing, simping after his girl... That looks like his adopted daughter, based Geuse.
