"...I'm really sorry, buddy, for dragging you into this."
In the scene after saying this, Felt rushes towards Elsa.
Felt used her Wind Blessing to launch a surprise attack on Elsa quickly...
[[]]
"Did it work!?"
Felt was expectant.
"No, not even close."
The Sword Demon Wilhelm shook his head, narrowing his eyes and announcing the outcome of their duel mercilessly.
[[]]
Elsa twisted her body in the scene, barely dodging Felt's surprise attack.
"Wind Blessing. Ah, that's nice. It seems the world favors you—it's really envy-inducing."
A hint of loathing appeared in Elsa's eyes, and she instantly slashed from Felt's left shoulder to her right.
"...Ah!"
Felt rolled heavily on the ground, losing consciousness, and died a few seconds later.
[[]]
"Lady Felt..."
Reinhardt frowned slightly as he looked at Felt in the scene, muttering softly.
"So, the royal family in such a world..."
Julius frowned.
Now, only Subaru was left, trembling with fear.
"Subaru..."
Beatrice looked at the scene with heartache, wishing she could hold his hand and tell him not to be afraid.
"Subaru is too weak for us... yet he protects me time and time again..."
Emilia's heart clenches.
"Subaru-kun..."
"Darling..."
"Subaru-kun is..."
"Darling is..."
"Rem's hero, he will definitely stand up again."
The two Rems thought in sync.
As long as he realizes his ability, he will definitely...
Everyone believed in him.

Accompanied by the sound of a blade, Natsuki Subaru died once again.
"...Hey, buddy, don't space out. Are you going to buy some appas or not?"
Seeing Subaru spacing out, Kadomon raised his voice:
"Hey, what's wrong with you, buddy?"
"Seriously, how inexplicable..."
After Subaru said this, the screen went black...
[[]]
"It seems Natsuki fainted."
"Subaru looks a bit unsightly at this time..."
Looking at Subaru, whose behavior was unbecoming of a knight, Julius said softly. Then he shook his head:
"No, Subaru is not a knight at this time, and he is not yet mature, so some gaffes are unavoidable."
[[]]
When the scene reappeared, everyone first saw the water on Subaru's body.
It was the water that the appas stall owner poured on him to wake him up.
Afterwards, the worried appas stall owner took care of him simply and gave him a water bottle.
Subaru shook off the water on his body, and the water droplets fell to the ground, splashing. He hugged his knees and squatted down, forced to recall the deaths he didn't want to remember.
At this time, a frosty shadow stole Subaru's gaze.
"Wait—"
Summoning his legs, Subaru ran towards that girl.
"Wait, wait a minute... please, wait for me..."
That girl—Emilia noticed Subaru's call and looked at Subaru.
[[]]
"Eh? Oh no..."
Emilia, outside the screen, suddenly realized that Subaru didn't know her real name yet and still thought she was called "Satella." So, what would Subaru call me?
The answer was obvious.
[[]]
"Wait a minute—Satella!"
"Please don't... ignore me. It's my fault that I suddenly disappeared and didn't listen to your instructions. But I worked hard, too. I went to the loot house once after that. But I didn't see you."
Emilia stood at a distance, staring at him.
"I'm really sorry for talking to myself... but I'm really glad you're safe."
[[]]
"Don't."
Emilia, outside the screen, covered her eyes anxiously with her hand.
Allow him to call you that, understand him calling you that, please, I...
[[]]
"What... do you mean by that?"
Emilia, in the scene, shows an extremely angry face.
"I don't care who you are, but how dare you call me by the name of the 'Witch of Envy'! what do you mean by that!?"
Huh?
Subaru was instantly stunned in place.
[[]]
"Don't..."
An extremely guilty face twisted Emilia's cute face.
I was the one who told him my name was Satella. What right do I have to be angry?
Even though she knew that the her in the scene was completely unaware of this, but...
Her body trembled, and Emilia's nails dug deeply into her palm.
Even though she knew that the her in the scene was completely unaware of this, she still felt extremely guilty.
[[]]
"What's... going on?"
Although Subaru did think it was reasonable for her to be angry, he never expected the reason for her anger to be this.
Emilia still stared at Subaru with a sharp gaze:
"I'll ask again, why are you calling me by the name of the 'Witch of Envy'?"
"No, it's because... the person who told me to call you that was..."
[[]]
Yes, it was me who told Subaru to call me that, but I...
[[]]
"...I don't know who told you to call me that, but you have really bad taste. You call me whatever others tell you to call me, you're also at fault.
The symbol of taboo—'Witch of Envy.' You actually chose such a name that is taboo even to say."
[[]]
Please, don't say anymore.
The words I'm saying must have hurt Subaru deeply...
Even so, Subaru is still so...
[[]]
"...Since you're okay, I'm leaving. I'm busy."
Subaru stayed where he was, not knowing how to respond, and just then, a small figure darted out.
[[]]
"Ah, it's me."
Felt said this.
[[]]
In the scene, Felt quickly steals Emilia's insignia.
"Ah! Could it be—"
Greatly shocked, Emilia immediately reached into her robe to find the insignia, and the result was naturally,
Nothing.
Subaru couldn't help but shout:
"Felt?!"
Felt in the scene paused for a moment, but still ran quickly towards the alley.
Emilia subconsciously extended her palm towards Subaru, as if to release magic, and said loudly:
"I've been tricked. So you called me to stop me just to steal something... are you also an accomplice!?"
[[]]
"Don't!"
Emilia, outside the screen, couldn't help but shout.
Am I going to kill Subaru next?
But in fact, even if Emilia really released magic, she just wanted to trap or stun Subaru, but Emilia outside the screen was already unable to think calmly.
She was extremely terrified of this— if she really killed Subaru in the loop. Then...
What qualifications do I have to be liked by him, to be protected by him...
Fortunately, Emilia in the scene seemed to realize that it was more appropriate to chase after the thief; she changed her mind and ran towards the alley.
"That's... great."
Emilia, outside the screen, breathed a sigh of relief.
And some people on the side were a little uneasy, especially Rem and the others...
Yes, this situation would have been entirely possible if I had killed Subaru...
This became an absolute taboo in the eyes of Beatrice, Rem, and the others, and they dared not think about it.
If I had killed Subaru...
Rem bit her delicate tongue anxiously, and Natsuki Rem also anxiously dug at her fair arm.
I can't imagine...
