GASP!!!!
Subaru jolts awake from his nightmare, finding himself right next to Rem, who steadfastly guides the carriage through the dimly lit landscape. His breath is uncontrollable as if he can die anytime if the oxygen doesn't reach his brain.
But, he doesn't have time to play with that death game. At this point, he had already experienced 12 deaths right after he arrived in this world.
The thirteen loops are ready to commence.
This time, he will not let anyone die, especially his sister.
To prevent that from happening...
"Reinhard."
That's right. The Sword Saint is the one who is rumored to be the strongest in this world.
Subaru was grateful that someone stronger like him was willing to be her sister's knight. However, for two previous loops, he doesn't see the Sword Saint's presence until his death.
This means all of this chaos happened because Reinhard left the mansion.
"We need to prevent Reinhard leave his home," Subaru muttered himself.
"Subaru-kun?" A gentle voice drifted through the air, drawing his attention. He turned to find the blue-haired girl, Rem, gazing at him with a mix of curiosity and confusion in her striking eyes.
"Rem," Subaru responded, with a serious tone, "I want us to go to Astrea's manor as fast as we can. This is an emergency, please..."

As they approached the gate of Astrea's manor, Subaru felt a surge of relief; the manor stood intact, a clear sign that the Witch Cult had not launched an attack. This also means that he still has a chance to prove her sister's death.
Unfortunately, another event unfolded. Someone who Subaru didn't want to see and preferred to get killed than meet him suddenly stood in front of the same gate. Julius Juukulius, the same knight that humiliated him mercilessly before and hurt Subaru's pride more than anyone, more than her own sister.
Julius takes his side beside a Demi-Human knight, Felix Argyle or Ferris. Both of them give a curious gaze on Subaru, who has an unimportance business in this place.
"Subaru-kyun, what are you doing here?" Ferris asked.
"I want to see my sister... We have arguments, and I think I should apologize already before this situation gets complicated."
Of course, this sister's situation is just a mere excuse.
Subaru has already forgotten what he feels about his sister's wrath. He never understands her nor is she willing to understand himself. All the insults and quarrels they have before disappear like that when Subaru witnessed her sister's death two times, to protect him.
From there, he can feel—he can tell that Kyoko still cares about him despite being such a control freak. She still protects him, even at the end of her life, she always puts him as her first priority.
Ferris encourages with a happy smile, "Subaru-kyun must have a hard time. Well, I hope you guys get well after this!"
Subaru's gaze moves to Julius, taking a glance, only to receive silently cold eyes from Julius. The knight turned his face in the opposite direction as if he wanted to avoid eye contact.
"So, what are you two doing here?" Subaru instantly moves to the main point.
"Well, I was tasked to escort this troublesome lady back to her estate. She comes from an important aristocratic and needs more care than anyone. Unfortunately, her personality is the main problem here. She doesn't want to go back to her home if it's not sir Reinhard himself escort her."
Ah.
Subaru realized several things from Ferris's information.
The reason why Reinhard was absent during the Witch Cult attack in two previous loops...
All of this is because A BITCH FROM NOBILITY BEING A PICKY WHEN PICK HER ESCORT!!!?
Her sister died because of this!!?
Rem died because of this!!?
Witch Cult attacked because of this!!!?
FOR GOD SAKE, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO BACK TO YOUR HOME WITHOUT BEING SUCH DIFFICULT!!? JUST BE GRATEFUL THAT KNIGHTS ARE WILLING TO GUARD YOU!!!
Subaru's heart filled with rage. If he is a woman and meets that bitch, he already slapped—or maybe punched her into madness.
"Why must Reinhard? Why not others? You two already enough to escort her back, isn't it?" He asked, disagreed with those reasons.
Ferris sighed, "She wants sir Reinhard. Only him. She doesn't care about others, and she wang sir Reinhard only—oh my, I said it twice."
"Is she.... Reinhard's fan?"
"You could say like that."
Subaru let a long, long, long heavy sigh. He feels happy that he found the main causes of Reinhard's absence, but he can't believe the reason is that simple. And what the hell did Reinhard accept that?
"Anyway, Reinhard can't follow you. He can't leave this manor today. Because he needs to guard my sister."
"This is Astrea's territory. None want to dare to intrude here, to make the Sword Saint himself their enemy—" Julius interrupted out of the blue, his eyes sharper as he stared at Subaru.
"None asked your opinion, Julius Juukulius."
"Natsuki Subaru, I thought you had business with your sister and not Reinhard. May I ask your reason why Reinhard should decline this task as a Royal Knight?"
"I told you he needed to protect my sister. That's why he can't leave today. On the other side, I believe a knight like you two could handle this simple task. No need to ask the Sword Saint's help when you could charm that lady itself."
Subaru's words were filled with a hint of sarcasm. He still felt the hostility against Julius, but for now, let's keep it down. He has other important things to do.
Julius remains silent. All of Subaru's sarcasm unaffected him since he decided to be oblivious to those words. Instead, he decided to turn the table, "My apologies but I couldn't follow your words. How about this? We go inside and ask Reinhard himself about his decision."
"...."
Subaru advanced gracefully, gliding past Julius without so much as a brush of their shoulders, with Rem trailing closely behind, an enigmatic presence shadowing the moment. He decided to stop halfway looking over his shoulder,
"Let's see who going to win."

[Astrea's Library]
After the whole teasing, Reinhard finally parted his lips, giving him access to Kyoko's tongue to enter his mouth. His hands subconsciously move to her cheeks, caressing them with warm and gentle affection until he reaches her ribbon hair.
The ribbon was pulling, making her black hair flowing into the air. Kyoko, who didn't mind his actions, deepened their kiss. She could feel another hand slowly moving to her back, slipping into under her black turtleneck clothes.
The sensation of his fingers grazing her skin sent electric tingles coursing through her body, igniting a spark of exhilaration. Kyoko couldn't help but smile coyly against his lips, amused and encouraged by this side of her once-innocent knight who appeared to be awakening to the allure of desire.
It looks like her virgin knight started to learn about desire, thirsting for a new feeling that slowly raised his hormones, his arousals to force his dark side out.
She could feel his finger already reaching her spine, stroking and brushing like a precious flower that could die anytime. The kiss breaks apart after a long time session with the last lick on his lips as the conclusion.
Reinhard pulled back ever so slightly, a subtle breath escaping his lips, leaving a lingering taste of sweetness.
"Did that feel good?" Kyoko inquired, a playful glint in her eyes, her voice silky and inviting.
Reinhard's cheeks flushed a deep crimson, and he nodded, the warmth of embarrassment mingling with exhilaration.
"Y-yeah," He stammered, the weight of his newfound desires stirring within him like a quiet storm, ready to break free. He watches his master slipping two fingers on his collar stand, tugging to expose his gorgeous, clean neck.
She gives her bottom lips a sensual lick and devours the exquisite view underneath her.
That neck.
It looks so damn tasty.
She wonders. What if she gives a little small bite to that tempting neck?
What kind of reaction that the Sword Saint, the knight among knights, would make?
Embarrassment?
Fear?
Relaxation?
No.
Let's go with 'Arouse.' It has a strong and captivating ring to it.
"Reinhard...." She calls his name sensually, her soft lips brushing against his delicious neck. Fuck this, she really wants sunk her teeth inside his flesh. Her breath hitched on his hot skin, raising his lust more and more as she moved her tongue to taste his knight.
"Mnghh...!!"
The Sword Saint failed to keep his voice, betraying his normally stoic demeanor. His grip on her waist tightened, firmly anchoring her there and ensuring she could not leave or escape. Like hues of strawberries, his cheeks turned into them as they grew warm. His finger curled against her back as he tried his best to relax and enjoy this moment.
"Milady... I think we should stop—Ngh!!?"
The sensation sent shivers racing down his spine as she sucked fervently, leaving behind a vivid mark—a hickey—that declared her ownership over him. His mistress started sucking his neck, greedily, leaving a reddish hickey again and again.
The Sword Saint, even with his years of training and discipline, found himself ensnared in her charm. He can't help but part his lips and inhale the air to calm his anxiety. She moved to the next one and the next one, marking it as if she claimed him for herself. Those sucking really, really, really satisfied her hunger, yet, it also increased her lust.
"M-Milady—"
DANG!!!!
"KYOKO, LET'S TAaaaaalllllkkkk....."
