"Omniscient Natsuki Subaru"
Chapter 3 "Start of Election"
Natsuki Subaru had done everything again, except killing and watching Beatrice realize.
A week had passed, and Rem and Subaru's relationship was getting closer and closer. At that moment, Ram went to Subaru and said;
Ram: [ Barusu, there is someone downstairs and he wants to see you. ]
Subaru was curious. And he asked Ram his name.
Ram: [White hair, white beard, one of the knights next to Crusch-sama. He was Wilhelm Van Astrea of the Astrea family. He wants to see you, Barusu. ]
Subaru remembered after Ram said this. And he was expecting Felix Argyle, a boy disguised as a girl, to be with him.
Subaru had come down, Felix and Wilhelm were standing next to the dragon wagons. He went to them.
Subaru: [ Hello, Wilhelm-san and Felix-kun. ]
Wilhelm: [ Hello Subaru-dono, you are Emillia's knight, right? ]
Since Subaru is not Emillia's knight, he politely said;
Subaru:[No, unfortunately I'm not. More precisely, it wouldn't be a lie to say that she hasn't chosen a knight yet. ]
Wilhelm had an understanding expression on his face, while Felix walked behind Subaru and sniffed him and said;
Felix : [ Subaru-kyun You will be Emillia-sama's knight, right? ]
Subaru shyly said;
Subaru: [ Actually, I'm not sure, but I think you'll choose me. ]
Felix: [ Hmm, that's really interesting, but I'd like it to be you, Subaru-kyun. Because I really loved you. You are a good person. ]
Natsuki Subaru's face turned red. At that time Wilhelm;
Wilhelm : [ You will come with us on the day the election starts, right Subaru-dono? ]
Subaru: [ Ahh, yes we will come with you. But I'm not sure if Ros-chi will go with you. ]
Wilhelm : [ Ros-chi? Are you talking about Roswaal-san? Have you actually gotten close enough to call each other names? ]
Subaru: [ Frankly speaking, yes. ]
Wilhelm: [ Subaru-dono, when I look at you, I feel like I'm seeing my younger self. ]
Subaru : [ Really? Were you like me? ]
Wilhelm : [ Yes, I would chase after the person I fell in love with, just like you. I wouldn't leave her side. I miss her. I hope you have a nice life with Emillia-sama. ]
Subaru was stuck on the sentence "I miss her."
Subaru: [ Forgive me for asking, Wilhelm-san, what do you mean by missing her? ]
Wilhelm: [ What you think is correct. I lost her a long time ago. The White Whale took my wife away. I want to kill that white whale with my own hands.]
Wilhelm was angry because he said White Whale.
Subaru: [Forgive me for asking such a question, Wilhelm-san]
Wilhelm: [ It doesn't matter, Subaru-dono. I'm not going to get mad at you for asking this. ]
Felix got bored of this conversation and started tickling Subaru.
Subaru : [ Hey! Hey! Stay still, Felix! I'm ticklish. ]
Wilhelm : [ Felix-san, please stop. ]
Felix with a bored facial expression;
Felix: [Wilhelm, I told you so, right? Just call me by my name. My name is "Felix", not "Felix-san". ]
Wilhelm apologized.
Wilhelm : [ Felix had talked to Emillia-sama. We called you here because we wanted to talk to you privately. ]
Subaru said with an understanding attitude;
Suba- Gluttony: [ I knew it, I predicted it. ]
After Subaru said this, Felix got into the carriage.
Wilhelm : [ We're leaving now, Subaru-dono. See you on the day the election starts. ]
Subaru : [ See you later, Wilhelm-san. ]
Felix was upset. Because they were breaking up with the person he considered his friend, Natsuki Subaru.
Felix: [ See you later, Subaru-kyun. When I come again I will tickle you. ]
Subaru laughing;
Subaru: [ Try it when you come and see. This time I won't be tickled. ]
Wilhelm and Felix were on their way. On his way back to the mansion, Subaru suddenly collapsed. Subaru shouted in a quiet voice;
Subaru: [S-S-Someone help please... ]
At that time, Rem and Emillia were talking in the room.
Emillia : [ Rem, you're really in love with Subaru, aren't you? ]
Rem started to blush after hearing this question. She had literally turned into a tomato.
Rem: [ Y-Yes. I felt in love with him. O-O-I fell madly in love with him. I can't let anything happen to him. He is like me. ]
Emillia: [ How so? ]
Rem : [ Bigoted like a demon. ]
Emillia :[ Oh, I see. You really love him. I am happy for you. ]
Rem was smiling. She was no longer ashamed for telling Emillia that she was in love with Subaru. Her face returned to normal.
Emillia : [ Subaru is a really nice person. He cares about everyone. Even though he was Reinhard during the battle with Elsa, he stood in front of me so that nothing would happen to me. Instead of thinking about himself, he thinks about his friends. ]
Rem : [ I can sense it if something happens to my Subaru. I asked Beatrice to cast a spell like this on me. If something happens within 1 km, I will feel it. Including in the village. ]
A minute after Rem said this, she felt something. Something had happened to Subaru. Rem's eyes opened wide when she felt it., her eyes were wide open and her mouth was slightly opened. At that moment, she dropped the coffee she was holding.
Rem : [ SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY SUBARU! ]
The coffee cup was broken. Rem and Emillia ran out of the mansion in worry.
Internal Monologue.
Rem: [If something happened to my Subaru, I wouldn't forgive whoever did it. Nobody can do anything to my Subaru. NO ONE! ]
When they got downstairs, they saw Subaru collapsed on the ground. When they went to Subaru, Rem was holding Subaru in her arms and taking him to his room. Emillia informed Puck and asked him to call Beatrice.
Tears were flowing from Rem's eyes. Those tears covered Subaru's face.
Rem: [ I will save you, Subaru. Please hold on a little longer. ]
Rem had taken him to his room. She put him to bed and waited for Beatrice and Emillia to arrive.
Rem was crying. She was crying with her hands up to her face.
Rem: [ Who? From where? Who did this to you? ... Why... ]
Emillia and Beatrice had arrived.
Beatrice was stunned to see Subaru in this state.
Beatrice: [ Su...Su... (Inner Monologue) Has Gluttony really taken over him? So why didn't I know about this? How? This is not good. Bad times are coming.]
(Inner Monologue End.)
Rem and Emillia: [ Subaru? What happened to him? Say it, Beatrice. ]
Beatrice said it with difficulty.
Beatrice: [ Su-Subaru, all his energy and mana have been absorbed. O...O...]
Rem and Emillia were waiting anxiously.
Beatrice: [...H-He fell into a long sleep...]
While Rem was crying, Emillia also started to cry. Emillia slowly fell to her knees. And she was sobbing.
Beatrice was quite upset. Because she knew all the pain Subaru went through(?)
While Emillia was crying;
Emillia: [ So what happens now? W-Won't he wake up? ]
Even though Beatrice has a hard time saying it;
Beatrice : [ I-I don't know if he'll wake up again. Or h-he may never wake up again. Either-Or can wake up. I-I have to go... ]
Since Beatrice had just learned about the Gluttony incident, she urgently went to report this situation to Roswaal.
Rem and Emillia were just crying in Subaru's arms. It seemed like life was over for them. Because someone was in love with him, someone considered him her best friend.
You fell into that beautiful deep sleep
You don't know when you will wake up
Everyone wants you to wake up again
Get up and come from that beautiful deep sleep.
Beatrice went to Rosswaal. Hastily;
Beatrice : [ ROSSWAAL! I HAVE BAD NEWS! ]
Rosswaal:[ What happened? ]
Beatrice : [ He captured Su-Subaru during the time of Gluttony. They are coming. They're coming back... ]
When Rosswaal heard it and realized what it was;
Rosswaal: [ Hmm... ]
Beatrice : [ We need to tell him, Rosswaal. ]
Rosswaal: [I will say on election day. Just do everything to make Subaru-kuuun wake up. If he doesn't wake up, Emillia's sadness will be reflected in the election and we will lose. ]
Beatrice nodded her head and walked over to Subaru.
Rem and Emillia were still crying.
Beatrice : [ I will heal him. Whatever it takes. ]
How meaningful sadness and sleep are. Two words that complement each other. Subaru tried to resist the pain but couldn't. He fell asleep.
Beatrice had taken Rem and Emillia out.
Beatrice : [ You will wake up, Subaru. ]
Natsuki Subaru was talking to himself while he was asleep.
Greed Su...Subaru : [Echidna, we will protect them today, right? It's okay if we die, right? We will succeed, right? ]
Beatrice was worried.
Beatrice: [Did he really go through all this and I didn't know about it? Honestly... -I couldn't protect you... I-I'm the reason you got into this situation... ]
Beatrice's eyes started to water. Beatrice, who almost never cried, was crying.
Subaru: [ I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You . ]
Beatrice's anxiety was growing. Subaru was now saying "I Love You".
Beatrice : [ I have to wake you up before it's too late, otherwise you'll never wake up. ]
Beatrice spent a week trying to heal Subaru. But she was not successful.
Emillia and Rosswaal had now gone to Lugunica. Rem would pick up Subaru and come back later.
Two days later, Rem took Subaru and headed to Lugunica. They arrived by dragon wagon in 2 days.
Rem and Subaru were staying at the same house where Emillia and Rosswaal were staying.
Subaru was dreaming.
The speaking voice was a thin, elegant female voice.
?: [Natsuki Subaru, you will get Outside Of The Madness. You won't have a normal life anymore. Just pain and sadness. I'll come back every time you die. And I'll ask you that question?
Natsuki Subaru Aren't You Insane Yet?
You will die. Over and over, over and over, over and over, in a loop. You will have no salvation. The information you get from the future will be useless. That information will only lead you to unhappiness and death.
This will continue for the rest of his life. There is no escape.]
Subaru: [ No! These won't happen. I will find a way to escape every time. And then I will find you and defeat you. I will win without losing my friends. I won't lose any of it. Whatever it takes. ]
?:[ This won't change anything. I'm giving you one chance. You will be attacked by Witchcult. Defeat Betelguese Romaneé-Contí, archbishop of Sloth, and prove it to me, Natsuki Subaru. ]
Subaru: [ You'll see, I will. I will beat Betelguese Romaneé-Contí. ]
While Subaru was having this dream, the election had started and the Emillias had returned. Since Reinhard had told everyone about Natsuki Subaru, everyone knew him.
Subaru suddenly woke up, while Rem was inside preparing dinner. Emillia was sleeping in her own room. Rosswaal was hanging out with Reinhard outside.
Subaru had stood up and was heading to the kitchen. He opened the door. That voice was Subaru's voice.
Subaru: [Rem.]
Rem had turned away. And the first thing she saw was Subaru awake and next to her.
Rem was so happy when she saw Subaru that she started crying with happiness.
And Rem ran to Subaru.
Rem: [ SUBARUUU! ]
Subaru was also happy to wake up. Subaru started crying because Rem,Roswaal,Emillia and Beatrice were okay.
Subaru: [REMMM!]
Rem: [ SUBARUUU! ]
