Elsa then looked as he spoke. "This doesn't help with the love triangle rumors"
As then the snow ball war happened, as it was more like Team Vs Team, a Team 6 Vs A Different Team Of 6, as they draw a name form the hat, as the first Round Starter as Otto draw Subaru name, as he sighed happy he got Subaru he then imagined Subaru team, which was Probably Subaru, Petra, Meili, Lucifer, Emilia and probably another kid
Otto then looked at Subaru as he was cut of mid word. "Alright Subaru l-"
He then saw Subaru actual team, which was Subaru, Halibal, Shaule, Crusch, Elsa and Koyami Subaru Yin and Yang Spirit, he then saw Petra who has his imagination team
Otto froze, his brain short-circuiting as he stared at Subaru's actual team.
This wasn't fair.
He had been expecting the usual chaos but at least manageable chaos. A fun, lighthearted game where he could actually win for once.
Instead, he was looking at a lineup that included two elite warriors, an assassin, a literal spirit, and a combat-trained noble.
Petra, standing next to him, also stared at Subaru's team in disbelief. "Big Brother, how is this fair!?"
Meili crossed her arms. "Yeah, did you guys rig the draw or something?"
Subaru smirked and adjusted his gloves. "Nah, just luck."
Otto felt an immediate headache forming. He was doomed.
Roswaal, watching from the side, grinned mischievously. "Weeeell, Otto-kun, are you ready to face fate?"
Otto wasn't. But it was too late now.
"Alright!" Reinhard announced, stepping forward as the referee. "Let the match begin!"
The battlefield turned silent for a moment.
Then—
"ATTACK!" Subaru shouted, and all hell broke loose.
The moment Subaru gave the order, chaos erupted.
Halibal and Shaule vanished from sight, moving at inhuman speeds as they launched precise snowball barrages at Otto's team.
Crusch, ever the warrior, threw her snowballs with such force that they felt like getting hit by actual weapons.
Elsa, grinning with excitement, effortlessly dodged incoming snowballs while countering with deadly accuracy.
And then there was Koyami, Subaru's Yin-Yang spirit, floating mid-air, manipulating snow itself to create mini snowstorms around Otto's team.
Otto barely dodged a snowball to the face. "This is ridiculous!"
Petra, ducking behind a small wall of snow, yelled, "This isn't a snowball fight! This is a massacre!"
Meili commanded a small group of Mabeasts to dive-bomb into the snow, sending up defensive cover for her team. "Lucifer! Cover the right side!"
Lucifer nodded and launched snowballs like projectiles, hitting Subaru square in the face.
Subaru wiped the snow off with a smirk. "Oh? You wanna play like that, little bro?"
Lucifer gulped. "Uhh—"
"GET HIM!"
In an instant, Subaru's entire team turned their focus on Lucifer.
Lucifer screamed, "MEILI HELP—" before being pelted by at least 10 snowballs simultaneously.
Otto, barely holding on, gasped, "Why is Koyami allowed to use magic!? That's cheating!"
Roswaal, still watching from the side, hummed. "Mmm, I never said anything against iiiit~."
Otto cursed his luck.
Meanwhile, Emilia, trying to keep things fair, used her magic to create a protective ice barrier for her team. "Okay, everyone, we just need to—"
Before she could finish, Shaule burst through the barrier like a phantom, hit Otto with a snowball point-blank, and disappeared again.
Otto collapsed into the snow. "I hate this game."
Subaru stood victorious, brushing snow off his coat. "And that's why I'm still undefeated."
Crusch crossed her arms, smirking. "I have to admit, that was fun."
Elsa chuckled, tossing a snowball up and down. "Next time, let's make it even more interesting."
Otto groaned. "Next time, I want fair teams."
Petra, still pouting, muttered, "Big Brother is a cheater."
Subaru just grinned. "It's not cheating. It's just... strategic team selection."
The next round happened, and they Subaru team went agent's Reinhard team, which was a more fair fight for everyone
Reinhard team was, Reinhard, Felt, Ferris, Ram, Rem and Julius.
As both teams lined up, the tension in the air was palpable. This time, it was a true battle of champions.
Subaru stared at Reinhard, who simply smiled with his usual gentle confidence.
Felt cracked her knuckles. "Alright, Reinhard, let's wipe the floor with 'em!"
Ferris grinned. "Nyaa, don't worry, Subaru, I'll make sure to heal your pride after we crush you."
Ram and Rem stood side by side, both prepared for battle.
Julius adjusted his gloves. "A friendly snowball fight, but let's make it entertaining."
Subaru's side, meanwhile, was equally prepared.
Crusch smirked. "This time, we have a worthy challenge."
Elsa chuckled. "Let's see if Reinhard truly is invincible, even in a snowball fight."
Halibal and Shaule, the shadows of Subaru's team, remained eerily silent, their presence alone exuding danger.
Koyami floated above them, manipulating the surrounding snow subtly.
Subaru clapped his hands. "Alright, folks! The rules are simple—last team standing wins! No real magic, no weapons, and most importantly... NO HOLDING BACK!"
"BEGIN!"
Reinhard moved first. Faster than anyone could react, he scooped up snow and launched a snowball at Subaru. It was a blur.
Subaru barely ducked in time, feeling the wind from Reinhard's throw. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?"
Elsa countered, throwing a snowball at Reinhard, only for him to casually dodge without breaking a sweat.
Crusch and Julius clashed mid-field, exchanging precise throws like it was an actual duel.
Ferris, acting as the team's 'healer,' ran around providing 'encouraging words' while dodging attacks. "Nyaa~, you can't hit me~!"
Rem and Ram used perfect teamwork, hurling snowballs in sync, forcing Halibal and Shaule into defensive maneuvers.
Meanwhile, Felt was just throwing snow wildly, somehow managing to hit Subaru in the face.
Subaru wiped his face. "FELT! THAT WASN'T EVEN AIMED!"
Felt cackled. "Snow doesn't have rules, idiot!"
The battle raged on, with both sides suffering casualties.
Rem was taken out by Elsa with a perfect headshot.
Julius managed to knock out Shaule in a narrow exchange.
Koyami, sensing an opportunity, created a blizzard that blinded Reinhard's team for a few seconds.
Subaru charged forward—only to be met with a massive snowball from Reinhard, knocking him flat.
As the snow settled, only Reinhard and Crusch remained standing.
Subaru groaned from the ground. "I hate how fair this match actually was."
Crusch smirked at Reinhard. "Final round, then?"
Reinhard nodded. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
They both grabbed snowballs and charged at each other—
Before a massive snowball, thrown by Petra, came out of nowhere and hit them both.
Everyone went silent.
Petra, hands on her hips, pouted. "Hmph! Big Brother's team always wins!"
Subaru, still half-buried in snow, burst out laughing.
Subaru then looked at Reinhard. "You could have dodged that Giant Snow ball, don't you have Divin blessing for that".
Reinhard laughed as he got Subaru. "I do but it was just snow ball, plus it have been unfair".
Subaru shook his head with an exasperated sigh. "Man, even when you're losing, you still have to be a hero, huh?"
Reinhard simply smiled. "Fairness is important, Subaru."
Crusch, brushing the snow off her coat, chuckled. "I have to agree. If Reinhard took this seriously, none of us would have stood a chance."
Petra, standing proudly with her arms crossed, puffed up her cheeks. "Hmph! I still won! I took out the strongest people!"
Felt patted Petra on the head. "Yeah, yeah, good job, squirt."
Otto, meanwhile, was just staring blankly at the scene. "I still don't understand how my life ended up like this."
Subaru smirked. "You got roped into our chaos, and now you're stuck."
As the group laughed, Elsa leaned towards Meili. "So, what's next?"
Meili grinned. "Snow Fort Battle! We get to build our own bases and try to take over the other teams!"
Subaru clapped his hands together. **"Alright, everyone! Break time is over! Time for the next event! And this time—NO MERCY!"
Everyone cheered, and just like that, the madness resumed.
And just like everyone snow fort was built and um.
Otto screamed pointing at Subaru and Reinhard Snow Fort. "Why is you two team a fort".
Reinhard spoke peaking out of window. "One of my many Divin blessing that I can't turn of".
Subaru peeked our form his. "Shaule went over board".
Otto looked between the two massive snow fortresses, his eye twitching. "You guys were supposed to make forts, not castles! This is a snowball fight, not a siege warfare simulation!"
Reinhard, ever the polite knight, nodded in agreement. "I understand your concern, Otto, but I can't really stop my Divine Blessings from working. It just… happened."
Subaru leaned against the tower of his fort, smirking. "Hey, don't blame me! Shaule got a little too into it. I just let her cook."
Shaule, standing proudly on top of Subaru's snow fortress, grinned. "If we're gonna play war, might as well play it right!"
Crusch crossed her arms, nodding. "Impressive craftsmanship. But now I wonder, how are we supposed to take down these forts?"
Felt scoffed, cracking her knuckles. "Easy. We storm the place!"
Ferris, looking at the towering structures, sighed. "Yeah, good luck with that, princess. Those things are reinforced."
Meanwhile, Elsa and Meili were already whispering their own plans to infiltrate Subaru's fortress, while Petra marshaled a group of kids to form an attack squad.
Otto, completely overwhelmed, threw his arms in the air. "I give up! Just do whatever you all want!"
Subaru laughed. "That's the spirit! Now, prepare for the greatest snow war ever!"
And with that, the legendary siege battle of the Snow Memory Festival began. Subaru then spoke looking at Auto. "Plus we are not the only one".
As he pointed at Emilia team, as she has done the Same was Subaru and Reinhard, she just followed there lead.
Otto turned to look at Emilia's team—and sure enough, her group had also built a massive snow fortress, rivaling both Subaru's and Reinhard's.
His jaw dropped. "Why? Just... why!?"
Emilia tilted her head innocently. "Well, I saw Subaru and Reinhard building forts, so I thought it was part of the game! Beako, Puck, and Ram helped too."
Beatrice huffed, crossing her arms. "If I was going to participate, I wouldn't allow our team to have anything less than the best, I suppose."
Puck floated beside her, laughing. "Yup, we went all out! And look, I even made a little snow slide on the side for quick escapes!"
Ram smirked, sipping her tea. "Barusu can't be the only one showing off, after all."
Otto grabbed his head, feeling a headache forming. "We were supposed to have normal snow forts! This was supposed to be a fun game, not a full-on military engagement!"
Subaru clapped a hand on his shoulder. "C'mon, Otto. You should've seen this coming. You live in a house full of monsters—I mean, talented individuals."
Otto groaned. "Next thing I know, someone's gonna launch an actual attack."
As if on cue, a massive barrage of snowballs rained down from Emilia's fortress, bombarding both Subaru's and Reinhard's teams!
Meili, standing at the top of the fort, cackled as her Mabeasts helped throw snowballs. "Attack! Show them the power of the Emilia camp!"
Reinhard nodded, suddenly serious. "Alright. It seems we have no choice." He raised a snowball, his blue eyes shining. "Team, counterattack!"
Subaru grinned, launching a snowball of his own. "This is it, boys! Welcome to the Great Snow War!"
Otto, watching the absolute chaos unfold, just buried himself in the snow. "I hate this place."
So dear reader your going too be disappointed, but for my mental sanity and Otto, I am gonna be skipping this part, the one too win was Reinhard, anyway
After everything was done, the night started too fall, as everyone was in the Roswaal Machine, everyone was chatting,driving, eating and just like last time a few months ago, Subaru was srounded by drunk woman's, aka Rem was on his lap, Emile was resting on his left shoulder, Elsa was resting on his right shoulder and Crusch was leaning on his back.
Subaru then mentally spoke. "How is there one more girl this time".
[Echidna then spoke looking him. "Blame your Lustful Allure Ability".
Carmilla then spoken. "S-sorry f-for my Authority S-subaru"]
Subaru mentality sighed as he spoke back in his mind. "It's Ok Carmilla, I am not angry".
Subaru, physically trapped but mentally exhausted, sighed deeply. "Why is this happening again?"
Rem nuzzled into his chest, murmuring something about how comfortable he was. Emilia, meanwhile, was giggling softly, probably too tipsy to realize what she was doing.
Elsa, ever the wildcard, smirked slightly, her usual predator-like demeanor softened by the alcohol. "You're warmer than I expected, little prey."
Crusch, leaning heavily against his back, sighed contentedly. "Subaru, you are… quite dependable."
Subaru, mentally screaming, tried to shift without disturbing the drunken pile of women.
[Echidna mocked him. "You should be enjoying this, you know."]
[Carmilla whimpered apologetically. "I-I can try t-to turn it off… b-but…"]
[Minerva suddenly chimed in. "Tch. This is why I hate that Authority! Making everything so unnecessarily complicated!"]
[Subaru groaned internally. "Minerva, that is literally not the problem right now!"]
Meanwhile, across the room, Otto and Ferris watched the scene with mixed expressions.
Otto rubbed his temples. "I don't even have the energy to be surprised anymore."
Ferris tilted his head. "Are we sure Barusu didn't use some kind of seduction magic? It's getting ridiculous, nya."
Reinhard, sipping tea like an elegant knight, merely smiled. "It's Subaru. This is just his fate."
With no escape in sight, Subaru accepted his reality, vowing to never let Lustful Allure activate again.
Beatrice sighed, crossing her arms as she looked at the scene before her.
"At this point, is this even a love square anymore, or have we moved into an entirely new geometric shape?"
Otto, still recovering from his initial shock, rubbed his temples. "More like a love pentagram… maybe even a summoning circle at this rate."
Ferris, snickering, tilted his head. "If Barusu gets any more admirers, we might need a chart to keep track, nya~."
Meanwhile, Subaru mentally screamed at Echidna.
["This is getting out of control! Can you at least explain why Lustful Allure is still active?"]
[Echidna smirked. "Oh? And here I thought you liked being the center of attention, Subaru."]
[Carmilla stammered apologetically. "I-I t-tried to turn it off… b-but… e-everyone already l-likes you…"]
Subaru groaned. "That's not the problem! The problem is that I am physically trapped!"
As he tried to subtly shift, Emilia hummed in her sleep, snuggling closer. Elsa, on the other hand, opened one eye and smirked. "Trying to escape, little prey?"
Crusch, half-conscious, muttered something about him being a reliable sparring partner.
Beatrice, watching all this unfold, just shook her head. "I give up, in fact."
Felt then looked Reinhard as she tryed too take a drink as he took it away form her, as he looked back at her. "No".
Felt looked as she spoke. "But Emilia and Subaru got too drink, and they are both 14 like me".
Reinhard then looked as he spoke. "Unlike you, Roswaal is responsible them".
Felt pouted as she spoke in a mutter. "God why am I even in love with you".
Reinhard looked at as he spoke. "Did you say something".
Felt looked at as she stammer. "Nothing".
Subaru then mentally spoke as he was still trapped. "I hate my advance hearing something, even if it part of detection ability".
Subaru mentally groaned as he processed Felt's muttered confession.
["Of course, my advanced hearing picks up this but not a warning before I get dogpiled by drunk women."]
[Echidna chuckled. "Oh? A budding romance right before our eyes. How fascinating."]
[Carmilla whispered nervously. "S-should we pretend we d-didn't hear…?"]
Subaru sighed. ["We can. But my luck? Probably not."]
Meanwhile, Reinhard squinted at Felt. "Are you sure you didn't say something?"
Felt, blushing furiously, crossed her arms and turned away. "Nope! Nothing! You must be hearing things, oh great Sword Saint."
Ferris, overhearing, grinned like a cat who caught a canary. "Ara, ara~ What a juicy little secret, nya."
Felt snapped her head toward him. "Shut it, Furball!"
Subaru sighed, still trapped. ["Great, another love mess I have to pretend I didn't hear."]
Halibal then walked up too Subaru as he spoke. "Hey Subaru a letter from a Friend (Ivan), he has something too say".
Subaru was hoping the base was in tack. "Thank Halibal".
Subaru carefully took the letter from Halibal, eyeing it warily. "Knowing Ivan, this is either an apology for almost blowing something up... or a warning before he actually does."
Halibal crossed his arms. "I'd bet on the latter."
Subaru sighed, breaking the seal and reading the contents. His expression twitched. "Oh, for the love of—"
[Echidna smirked. "Trouble?"]
[Carmilla nervously muttered. "I-it's bad, i-isn't it?"]
Subaru massaged his temple. "Apparently," he muttered aloud, "Ivan found something in the base… a very dangerous something… and he may have accidentally activated it before realizing what it was."
Halibal blinked. "So... should we be worried?"
Subaru exhaled sharply. "That depends. How bad do you think 'possible ancient curse' sounds?"
Silence.
Shaule, overhearing, facepalmed. "Ivan... why are you like this?"
Subaru then read the rest of the latter. "Will it says more, that there was witch cult attacks but then he and his team managed to stop and then found the object".
Subaru continued reading, his expression shifting from exasperation to mild concern. "So, there was a Witch Cult attack, Ivan and his team managed to stop it, and then they found this mysterious object..."
Halibal frowned. "The Witch Cult being involved makes this way worse. What kind of object are we talking about?"
Subaru scanned the letter further. "He doesn't describe it much—just that it was buried deep inside the base, covered in strange inscriptions, and that when they tried to move it, it gave off a dark aura."
Shaule crossed his arms. "Yeah, that definitely sounds like a curse."
[Echidna hummed thoughtfully. "It could be an ancient artifact, perhaps something tied to one of the past Witches. If the Witch Cult was after it, then it's clearly significant."]
[Carmilla muttered worriedly. "M-maybe it's s-safe now?"]
Subaru groaned. "I highly doubt that. Knowing Ivan, either he's poked it already, or it's already started doing something weird."
Halibal nodded. "So... what now? We wait, or do we go check it out?"
Subaru sighed, rubbing his face. "Let's finish the festival first. Then, I'll go deal with whatever mess Ivan just unleashed."
At that moment, Elsa—still half-drunk on Subaru's shoulder—muttered sleepily. "Mmm… kill anyone who causes trouble…"
Subaru shuddered. That... sounded way too ominous.
Subaru then burned the letter as he sighed. "We will deal with this headache tomorrow, for to night we just enjoy".
Shaule then spoke Looking at as she walked away. "Alright Boss, good luck with your harem".
Subaru groaned as Shaule walked away with a smug grin. "It's NOT a harem!" he called after her.
Crusch, still leaning against his back, smirked. "Then why do you have multiple women draped over you?"
Elsa chuckled. "You should just accept your fate, Subaru."
Rem murmured sleepily on his lap. "Subaru is mine... No matter how many rivals appear..."
Emilia, resting against his shoulder, pouted slightly. "I don't like the word 'harem' either… but Subaru is special to me…"
Subaru mentally screamed. "I just wanted to enjoy the festival, not get trapped in this chaos!"
[Echidna laughed in his mind. "Oh, Subaru, you truly are entertaining."]
[Carmilla whispered nervously. "I-I'm sorry a-again…"]
Subaru sighed, surrendering to his fate. "Whatever. I'll deal with the Witch Cult problem and my personal life—tomorrow."
For now, he simply sat there, surrounded by warmth, laughter, and the chaos that was his life.
