Few things before we get into this! Please drop a review. I can't improve my writing skills without proper criticism. Also I'm going to start leaning more into the canon with character dialogues and actions. This part is going to be completely off canon though.

Anyways let's get into the story

'This is kinda nice, this girl sure knows how to give good hugs.'

Subaru reciprocated her hug with his own, wrapping his arms around her and causing her face to turn bright red.

"You're very pretty." Subaru responded causing her to blush .The girl chirped happily, tightening her grip around Subaru ever so slightly.

"I love you." The girl buried her head deep in his chest.

"Wow wow there's no need to fall in love with me yet, you gotta get to know me first." The girl tightened her grip even more, believe it or not but she was strong as hell.

'Damn I might die if she hugs me any tighter.'

"Can you loosen your grip? It's starting to get uncomfortable." The girl retracted from Subaru, probably scared she might have caused him harm. Before Subaru could continue the conversation he awoke, in his room yet again.

"Time to get to work!" Subaru hopped out of the bed but fell on his ass when his legs couldn't support his drowsiness.

"Oww that hurts." Subaru loved talking to himself apparently.

'Hmm where's Rem, she probably had something important to do.'

Subaru grabbed a broom as he left the room and got to work sweeping (it was becoming his favorite chore for some reason)

"Hey Beako, mind if I clean here?" Subaru asked not even letting Beatrice get a chance to respond before he went back to sweeping.

"Betty for some reason seems to enjoy your cleansing work." Subaru laughed at the term she used for sweeping.

"It's just sweeping. I guess a powerful spirit like you wouldn't know the term for it." Beatrice was enraged at this remark and let Subaru finish cleaning before she motioned with her hand.

"Sir are you okay?" An older tall man with well kept white hair and a nice beard asked Subaru, who was laying a bush.

"Damn that great spirit sure doesn't pull her punches, well more like her magic blasts." Subaru jumped up and patted himself off, luckily he had foreseen this and opened up the window before he entered her room. He didn't however foresee a new face.

"Yes thank you for asking, anyways would you like some tea?" Subaru pulled out a tea cup on a platter and a kettle from his pocket dimension, the man was surprised at this

.

"Hmm this tea is quite strange tasting, it's actually quite refreshing compared to the high quality teas, however it feels a little strange." The man gave a compliment and criticism.

"Thanks for the criticism I am improving my unique tea making skills" Subaru had used his family's methods of making tea.

"May I have your name?" Subaru asked the old man, switching to a serious tone. His cold and serious tone surprised the old man, the man quickly recomposed himself and smiled.

"My name is Wilhelm , I would like to know your name as well." Subaru bowed and struck his signature pose.

"My name is Subaru natsuki, I work directly under roswaal and I'm a shut-in!" The man's was shocked at Subaru's declaration.

"Your Subaru natsuki? The one who refused to show up for the meeting?" Subaru was puzzled at the old man's remark.

"I wasn't informed of any meeting taking place but if they decided to lie about my refusal then I shall stay outside for the time being." Subaru laughed along with the old man, they really resonated with each other.

"You're quite the bad man!" Wilhelm laughed as he patted Subaru's back.

They had talked for a while before their conversation was interrupted.

"Willhelm it's time to go!" Subaru and willhelm both turned their faces to see a feminine cat eared Demi human, the Demi human walked up to Subaru and began inspecting him.

"Hey man you don't have to get so close to me!" The man was caught off guard.

"How did you find out I was a guy so quickly?" Subaru laughed at her remark.

'I didn't, that was just my way of saying " back the frick up lady".'

"Your breathing patterns allowed me to discern your gender." The cat boy was visibly annoyed at this.

"Well anyaways we need to go willhelm nya." The catboy had the most feminine voice Subaru has ever heard.

"I suppose that will be the end of our encounter Wilhelm." Willhelm took one last sip of the tea and handed Subaru the platter and cup.

Subaru stashed the platter and cup into his rift eliciting a reaction from the cat boy.

"Wow you've got some strange myagic." The cat boy had a weird kick to his words which Subaru ignored.

"Well see ya myan." The cat boy and Wilhelm hopped into a dragon drawn carriage parked in the front of the mansion. Subaru walked back inside the mansion, heading to the kitchen.

"Why were you so kind to that myan?" Felix questioned Wilhelm, wondering what was going on inside the sword demon's head.

"That man has stood before death many times and laughed in its face, a feat I am incapable of." Felix gasped at this interpretation of Subaru.

"What brings you to that conclusyan?" Felix asked causing Wilhelm to chuckle

"His eyes told me that, in fact his eyes told me so many things." Felix decided not to question him any further, deciding that he didn't wanna learn anymore about this man.

'I guess that they forgot to get me and made an excuse or something'.

Subaru walked through each and every room until he found Roswaal and Emilia in a large room with 2 couches and a table in the middle.

"So what's this about me 'refusing to come to the meeting'?" Subaru didn't really care about the meeting itself he was more interested in roswaals reasons for not waking him up.

"You simply wouldn't wake up no matter how many times I tried to wake you up." Rem spoke in a cold tone, standing behind Roswaal and Emilia, her sister standing next to her.

"Hmm, that's strange. I'm usually a very light sleeper." Subaru rubbed his chin as if searching for an answer.

' it must be due to that dream I had, damn I hate when I oversleep.'

"I guess I really needed that sleep. Anyways, what did I miss." Subaru questioned as he sat down on the sofa opposite of them.

"Well not much apparently, they just came here to sling pointless banter." Emilia bluntly stated. Everyone is the room seemed to be quite annoyed.

"The cat boy?" Subaru questioned both of them.

"No, it was lady crusch." Roswaal responded to Subarus question with a name he had never heard of.

"Lady who?" Subaru didn't know exactly who that person was but assumed they were high stature due to roswaals formal referring to them.

"she is one of the 4 candidates for the royal selection, she seems to be the most likely to take the throne right now." Rem and ram responded in synchrony which kind of annoyed Subaru for some reason.

"Well the people who came here with her seemed pretty cool." Subaru reminisced on his conversation with that cat boy and will helm.

"Did you learn anythingggg? Roswaal was trying to salvage the useless visit.

"Well I did learn that they have willhelm the sword demon on their side, along with a cat boy who dresses like a girl, I wasn't able to squeeze much information out of willhelm but he did seem quite fond of me. The cat boy was pretty strange, he didn't have a hint of strength behind his figure." Roswaal stayed unblinking at this analysis, probably because he already knew the information given to him.

"Well I guess you guys already knew that didn't you? I'm sorry I should've come back with more info." Subaru was disappointed In himself.

'Way to go Subaru you just blew it, now they're gonna berate you for not squeezing information out of those guys'.

"Well anyways, it's about time the three of us departed, rem and ram I trust you will uphold this mansion's honor by keeping it as good as when we leftttt?" Both rem and ram nodded. Roswaal, Emilia, and Subaru all stood up and exited the room.

"How long is this trip gonna take exactly?" Subaru was probably not going to be happy at the answer.

"About 2 dayssss." Roswaal responded to Subaru. This was going to be a looong trip.

"Would you guys like some snacks?" Subaru pulled out some fruit from his rifts, he had stolen quite a lot of snacks from the kitchen when rem wasn't looking.

"You know Subaru, I never did understand how your magic works." Emilia was very interested in Subarus' spatial magic, Roswaal was as well but he played it off like he wasn't too interested.

"Well any item I pick up I can place inside my rifts." Subaru pulled a combat knife out then placed it back in as an example.

"Would you like some snacks roswaal?" Subaru grabbed what looked to be a juicy fruit from a rift above his head.

"I'll have oneee." Roswaal took the fruit from Subarus hand, delicately peeling it before he chewed on it.

"Emilia would you like anything?" Emilia nodded and Subaru pulled a vegetable? (Fruit?) Well whatever it was Emilia's eyes lit up when he handed it to her.

"How do they taste?" Subaru asked both of them as they devoured the food.

"Does your magic make food taste better? Because I've never had something this good." Emilia was extremely happy to say the least.

"I do believe Emilia is correct on this matterrrr." Roswaal had finished his fruit as well.

"Hmm that's a pretty useless side skill to have." Subaru was annoyed to say the least. He might have to test that out and see whether or not it was true.

After 2 entire days of eating and drinking from Subarus rifts, they had finally arrived at the capital. The capital seemed even more lively than the day Subaru had arrived to this god forsaken world.

'Man I just wanna hop out and explore, you know what I'm gonna do that.'

Subaru promptly opened the door and hopped out of the carriage.

"Wait Subar-" Emilia tried to stop him but Subaru darted through the city until he lost sight of the carriage.

"Im such a bad man hahaha" Subaru was talking to himself yet again.

"What manner of evil do you speak of?" A voice pierced Subaru's ears from behind him.

Subaru swiveled on his feet and faced a purple haired man, who was way taller than him and had a full frame. He wore clothes similar to Reinhard when he saved them from the bowel hunter.

'Must be a knight like Reinhard, I better not make him angry!'

"*gulp* It's a joke man!" The purple haired man wasn't quite satisfied with that explanation.

'Telling the truth is probably the best way to get him off my ass'

"Well Umm, umm, well you see I was originally with the Emilia camp but I left the carriage while they weren't looking so I could explore the capital again." The purple haired man seemed satisfied with this answer and turned to walk away.

"Wait!" The man spun on his heels and faced Subaru.

'I gotta haul ass outta here.'

Subaru ran faster than he has ever ran away from that confrontation.

'Did I lose him?'

Subaru had ducked into an alleyway to avoid the purple haired man.

"What do you scoundrels want!" A woman's voice called out from behind Subaru. He turned and saw the 3 thugs from the day he first came to this world. They were standing in front of an extremely beautiful woman.

She had a perfect red and black dress with flowers on it and beautiful orange hair with some rather large breasts.

Subaru approached the smaller thug from behind and slammed his foot into the back of his head, knocking him unconscious, he then threw a nasty left hook into the snaky middle one's ribs which sent him onto the ground writhing in pain.

"Hey what are you-" the big thug had turned to face him but Subarus' right leg slammed into the side of his neck knocking him unconscious.

"Now that the trash is taken out I'll take my leave." Subaru completely ignored the bewildered look he got from that woman, instead exiting the alleyway.

'Wow did I seriously just do that! I could've killed them. I need to think before I do stuff like that!'

"Wait a minute!" The woman's voice was approaching Subaru from behind.

"What do you want!" Subaru ripped a combat knife out of a rift and turned to face her, he adopted a boxing stance with an ice pick grip on the knife.

"How dare you pull a weapon on my divine self." The girl reached to the sky and pulled a sword out of thin air. She swung at the combat knife and it burned into ashes.

"Aww come on, that was one of my higher quality combat knives." Subaru didn't quite realize the danger he was in until the woman delivered a quick and heavy kick to his

left side sending him flying into a wall.

"D-damn what have they been feeding you." Subaru coughed up an unhealthy amount of blood.

"Oh get up I didn't even use my full force!" She didn't even realize that Subaru was just a regular human compared to her.

"You hit like a motherfucking truck!" Subaru stood up shakily. His legs could have given way any moment.

"It is not my fault that you couldn't withstand a love tap." The girl pulled a fan out of seemingly nowhere. She fanned herself off in a rhythmic order.

"Hmm sorry but I'm taken already." The girl was bewildered by this.

"Whatever could you mean by-! I do not love you, you mongrel!" She delivered another "love tap" to Subarus stomach with her foot, and she ended up sending him flying out of the alleyway. He laid on the ground in an alleyway parallel to the other one

'Damn I wanna murder that girl, In a most brutal way'

Subaru spit out another unhealthy amount of blood. He might've died if not for her "holding back".

He had expected to get beat up by her, However he didn't expect what was about to happen next. A familiar voice called out to him.

"Subaru natsuki what happened to you?" Reinhard stood over Subaru looking at his beaten up body in wonder.

"It was that girl over there! Also just call me Subaru!" Subaru spat up an unhealthy amount of blood with each word.

"It's not my fault he couldn't withstand my divine strength." Reinhard walked up to the lady and began berating her. They were practically right in each other's faces.

"You could have killed Subaru! Apologize to him right now." Reinhard had to look down a significant distance to her since he was so tall.

'I doubt an apology would fix my broken bones!'

Subaru rolled onto his stomach and began crawling away in the confusion of the two babbling.

"Maybe I'll be able to find a healer." It was as if the heavens had answered his call. A familiar cat boy walked into the alleyway and began using magic on Subaru.

"How do you get beat up that badly nya?" Subarus' injuries began to heal, he stood up after 10 seconds of healing and started jumping up and down.

"Thanks for the help man." Subaru was overjoyed he wasn't gonna die today.

"By the way what's your name?"

"My nyames Felix."

"How did you find me?"

"I separated from my group when I heard your screaming." Subaru was confused.

"I wasn't screaming?" Subaru most definitely wasn't screaming since he probably would've broken some more bones if he did.

"Oh that's right I have enhanced hearing so it sounded like you were screaming nya."

'So those cat ears aren't for show?'

"Well anyways I suppose I should break up those two!" Subaru heard extremely loud banter and turned around to see Reinhard and the woman arguing with all their might.

"Guys guys guys stop fighting." Subaru walked behind Reinhard and listened in on their conversation, they were clearly ignoring Subaru.

"Hurting innocent people is unforgivable, apologize right now!" Reinhard boomed.

"I will not apologize to those below me!" The girl boomed back

"Guys will you please stop making a scene! People across the capital could probably hear you!" Subaru seemed to have gotten both of their attention.

"I suppose this banter is pointless anyway." The woman responded before turning and walking away.

"You're okay?" Reinhard asked, confused on how Subaru was standing and walking about.

"Felix healed me. He really is a nice guy." Subaru chuckled. He pointed behind himself to where he thought Felix would be.

"What are you pointing at?" Subaru turned around and realized Felix wasn't there.

"I'm not schizophrenic I swear! He was right here!" Reinhard was puzzled at what the word meant. Until he pulled a divine protection out of nowhere and understood it.

"He must've left before I broke you two up." Subaru and Reinhard began chatting about life.

"So has anything interesting happened to you recently?" Subaru was terrible at breaking the ice, but Reinhard still responded. "No not really, I did get to take a short 1 day break from my knight duties thanks to felt though!" Reinhard seemed quite happy about the 1 day break.

"So what did you do during that 1 day break?" Subaru was wondering how felt involved in this but he would get into that later.

"Well I did get to go sightseeing outside of the capital, it was quite relaxing." The two chatted for quite a bit, mostly about their lives up to this point.

"Wait you drove the witch cult out of roswaals domain. That is quite the feat!" Reinhard was amazed at the stories Subaru had.

"You don't know the half of it haha." Subaru couldn't tell him about returning by death, which was pretty annoying but he didn't really care that much.

"I seem to be a magnet for trouble!" Subaru and Reinhard were having the time of their life's chatting it up.

"Well I suppose I should keep exploring the capital, would you like to come with me?"

'Wait a minute did I just say "I suppose"! That girl is getting into my head!'

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you Subaru."

"Well I guess that was quite selfish of me asking you to accompany me for no reason." Reinhard shook his head at this remark.

"I would most definitely accompany you if not for having tasks I need to do. You're quite the interesting figure to be around!" Reinhard and Subaru laughed before they went their separate ways

'This is quite the serene walk.'

Subaru was so caught up in his head that he accidently bumped into someone. He looked down and saw a purple haired girl in strange attire with a large hat on.

"My apologies. I wasn't watching where I was going-woah!" Subaru was lifted up by his leg and was flipped upside down as he was suspended in air.

"Wow wow wow man what's your deal." Subaru wiggled his way to face a large buff dog human.

"I didn't mean to bump into her if that's what you're mad about!" Subaru was quite pissed off at this man.

'Maybe I should pull a knife out and slit his throat- WOW where did that thought come from, I get he picked me up from my leg but that's no way to think about this situation!'

"I'm sorry lady but can you calm this man down!" The lady stood back on her feet and looked at Subaru bewildered

"Ricardo put this man down at once!" The Demi human obliged but in a way Subaru most definitely didn't like, he dropped Subaru onto the ground.

"Oh come on man!" Subaru got up from the ground quickly and stared the demihuman down.

"Wow man you're hardcore!" Ricardo couldn't help but avert his gaze at Subaru's death glare.

"If you're gonna pick me up, at least Ask before you do." Subaru stormed off again, but he bumped into the purple haired girl again. This time however he grabbed her by the wrist and Kept her from falling

over.

"My bad I really should watch where I go. I hope I didn't hurt you." Subaru stared deep into her eyes causing her to blush before she turned her head away.

"Damn am I that ugly, nobody wants to look at me!" Subaru let go of her wrist before he walked past her, ignoring the army of people behind her.

'That has got to be in the top 10 of the strangest encounters I've ever had.'


Subaru was walking around whilst paying attention to where he was walking so he wouldnt get lifted upside down again.

However this time he was the one who got bumped into. He fell flat on his butt.

"I guess that's karma-" a green haired woman in soldier attire outstretched her hand to Subaru.

"Thanks" Subaru was surprised when she lifted him onto his feet with ease.

"Don't mention it." The girl spoke in a strong voice, that kinda made Subaru feel happy.

"Well I guess I gotta go, cya!" Subaru awkwardly ran off from the woman and her group.


"Was that Subaru?" Felix questioned willhelm, who responded with a nod.

"So that is the man you spoke about? I don't see what you see in him though." Crusch responded


Sorry but this chapter is really short, mainly because I am going to start leaning more into that canon and that is gonna take time to do! Have a nice day guys.

Next chapter title: a humbling worthy of subaru.
