――Having fallen victim to Roy Alphard of Gluttony, Otto Suwen was forcefully removed from the battlefield.
As one blessed with the Divine Protection of the Soul of Language, the man who had accumulated its highest level of mastery in history had done exactly as he had proclaimed; humiliating Aldebaran’s group, the enemies of the world, and inflicting great suffering upon them.
That was why the conclusion of his lonesome battle was brought about by a ruthless imprisonment that left no opening for counterattacks, leaving him completely helpless.
His words were sealed, his actions were sealed, his tricks were sealed, his wits were sealed; every weapon in his arsenal was sealed away, and finally, even the Memories that defined who he was were stolen away, thus was how Otto Suwen was utterly defeated.
When Aldebaran’s group resolved to seal him away with such overwhelming force that gave no time to plan a countermeasure, even Otto found himself powerless, unable to resist.
Because it was impossible to predict exactly when and where his opponents would launch a counterattack, he was unable to construct a trap zone using his signature Divine Protection.
And so, there was absolutely nothing Otto Suwen could have done upon being attacked―― his last resort merely being a “desperate struggle” in the event of an assault.
――He had simply left instructions for the Zodda bugs to fly off en masse so that his location would have been revealed in the event he was defeated.
△▼△▼△▼△
???: [Al knew Rem before they met in the Empire… before Gluttony even ate her Memories. There’s no doubt about it.]
That was when the Imaginary Subaru voiced his opinion, while they were in the midst of planning a surprise attack.
With his arms and legs crossed as he sat in midair, Subaru’s stern face caused Petra to recall the events inside Subaru’s memories, in the Royal Capital where Al and Rem had crossed paths.
That was when Subaru made a major blunder at the castle and was desperately trying to make up for it.
Although Petra did feel that Subaru’s reckless behavior back then was quite bad, she did not feel completely disillusioned towards him. However, Subaru himself remembered it as an utterly humiliating experience that made him squirm just thinking about it. In fact, everyone who was there must have looked down on Subaru’s reckless behavior, so the only person who would not feel disillusioned by his actions, if Petra were excluded, would be Rem, who had been blindly devoted to him as far back as then.
Be that as it may, Subaru, unable to escape the cycle of negative emotions, had visited Priscilla’s mansion in search of a way to save Emilia, who was being attacked by the Witch Cult.
There, Subaru received an incredibly harsh and cold response from Priscilla, but the crucial connection between Al and Rem was revealed right there as he was being expelled from the mansion.
He did not know the specific reason, however――,
“Subaru”: [Al mistakenly called Rem by Ram’s name and was extremely shocked by that fact. When I asked Rem about it, she said she had never met him before.]
Petra: [So Al-san knew about the two of them beforehand? Perhaps he researched the rival camps for the Royal Selection… or something like that?]
“Subaru”: [So you’re saying Al could have been in charge of the Priscilla Camp’s countermeasures against the other Royal Selection camps? I don’t think that’s impossible, but it doesn’t really matter. The important thing is that Al knew Rem. In other words――]
Petra: [Just like with all of us, when Al-san sees Rem-neesama, his Memories should get all mixed up.]
“Subaru”: [Exactly. ――I would call it a Flash Remnade.”]
With a silent snap of his fingers, Subaru winked, and Petra gave him a thumbs up.
To be honest, Petra was reluctant to treat Rem like a flash grenade, but she and the others had already confirmed that there was no way to counteract the effects of Memories returning.
As seen with Petra and the Subaru within her, or Ram, the deeper the relationship and attachment, the greater the impact, but even the slightest opening was still an opening.
All that was left was to take advantage of that opening――,
Petra: [Let’s show Al-san. ――Just how angry we are.]
△▼△▼△▼△
――Let us here give an explanation for the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, Roy Alphard.
His nature bearing the disposition of Bizarre Eating, wielding the birther of myriads of tragedies, the Authority of Gluttony, Roy had completely incapacitated Otto Suwen, tormentor of the Aldebaran Party. His Eclipsing had not only incapacitated Otto, but chewed and digested his twenty-two-year-old walk of life, assimilating his joys, his angers, his sorrows, the culmination of all that which was his, into a heterogeneous blend, which was eaten up in one breath from atop the platter.
Ringing his throat, upon finishing the incorporeal meal, Roy tasted the life of Otto Suwen, commanding a greater precision and degree of freshness than a deep read of a Book of the Dead, tasting an adequate breadth of alternating joys and sorrows for it, having overcome so-so trials and tribulations, with somewhat rich seasoning and flavor, he bestowed to it an evaluation of two stars.
By evaluating what was eaten this way, it felt as though he had fallen heir to the spirit of Gourmet belonging to his sibling who had already lost his life, Ley Batenkaitos, but setting that aside, to eat one’s Memories meant it was possible to know that being’s way of thinking and philosophy, and to its extreme, while in the midst of battle, even learn the orders of things that were planned, what had been schemed and plotted.
Therefore, originally, despite the aftertaste of triumph and sense of accomplishments felt after Otto’s defeat, sensing the ambush planned for the subsequent instant should have been a simple and spontaneous task to accomplish.
However, it did not transpire so. ――Because Otto had not shared plans with his comrades about what tangible actions they would take after he had been incapacitated.
Merely, Otto Suwen had solemnly believed.
Should he just extend a signal for the moment he would comprehensibly be incapacitated, his comrades would not let it go to waste.
Because he, devoid of plans or anything such, bet everything on just powerful bonds――,
???: [――It is a pleasure to meet you, Aldebaran-sama.]
Unmistakably, it had happened in the blink of an eye.
A closing, and opening of the eyes. At the presence of the blue-haired girl who had interloped in that instant, while a matter of course for Aldebaran, neither Yae, nor Roy, nor even “Aldebaran” could react.
An outsider who was not supposed to be there, had suddenly appeared without warning.
That alone was enough to pry an instant from veteran soldiers, but in this scene, the one onto which that had been most lethal, was Aldebaran, for whom it did not end with a mere instant.
Aldebaran: [――――]
Yae naturally had no acquaintance with her, Roy was exempt due to it being his own Authority, and “Aldebaran”, while sharing in his Memories, possessed a fundamentally different soul; thus it was a phenomenon that did not occur for any of them.
Stimulating the black-stained Memories etched into his soul, alongside the sensation of something that had been removed being forced back into his brain, Aldebaran’s consciousness went white.
Regardless of who had defined it as such, it was a flash grenade of Memories.
???: [――Al-sama!]
A shrill, frantic voice called to him, and hands that reached out from beyond his white-stained vision grabbed hold of him. However, that did not save Aldebaran from his predicament.
Aldebaran: [――――]
The legs that ought to have been firmly planted on the ground hurtled through the air, and as Aldebaran basked in a ferocious wind, he lost his sense of up, down, left, and right, and realized his body had begun revolving.
Unable to control his body, still lording overhead was the blue sky wherein shone the glaring sun―― as that radiance scorched his black eyes, Aldebaran realized something.
――Through some means, he had been teleported straight into the sky, thrown outside of his Territory.
Aldebaran: [――Hk! Expand Territory, Matrix Redefinition.]
Reestablishing the Territory that had been forcibly severed, Aldebaran grit his teeth.
Forced to go along with the opponent’s plans, he had been driven to update his Matrix. ――No longer could he return to before the surprise attack a moment prior.
But, if he lagged behind in his decision to update it, Aldebaran would have been defeated with nothing he could do in return.
Aldebaran’s Authority was invincible, but that was entirely within the set bounds of his established Territory. Were he to perish outside of those bounds, he would be the same as the many lives who were not afforded any second chances.
Aldebaran: [――――]
Digesting the circumstances he had been placed in, Aldebaran’s consciousness concentrated on reality.
Given that he had been forced to update his Matrix, to Aldebaran, everything from here on out would be both a treasure and a calamity, a tailwind and a headwind, a virtue and an evil.
Aldebaran: [Sky…!!]
The roaring hum of the wind, the violent sense of suspension that seemed to strike his body; the fact that he was falling from such a high altitude despite having no memory of being sent up there, meant that the due procedures had been omitted.
For a moment, what flashed through Aldebaran’s mind was the Authority of the strongest Witch, but that could not be it. ――If the opponent had truly been that Witch, the phenomenon that occurred would have differed. He would not have been thrown out into open air like this, and above all, Aldebaran would have been killed a hundred times over before he could even blink.
Hence, he could eliminate that possibility from the multitude of worst-case scenarios.
As he narrowed down the possibilities, he gathered his surrounding situation in parallel. At present, if there were any irregularities nearby Aldebaran as he was being jostled by the wind, that would be――,
???: [――Al-sama.]
Tightly grabbing onto Aldebaran’s single arm and clinging on, was Yae.
Just before he had been thrown out into the sky, she had pounced on Aldebaran just as he had frozen up from having eaten the flashbang of Memories, and thus had been sent up from the forest to the sky along with him.
Whether he ought to count that as a blessing or a curse, Aldebaran mentally separated the things he could and could not do now that Yae was here, and decided on the first action to take.
That was――,
Yae: [I’ll steady our posture! Al-sama, don’t part from me――]
Aldebaran: [Obugh.]
Simultaneous to Yae embracing him and attempting to form some sort of countermeasure against falling, Aldebaran unwrapped the drug package within his mouth, and gulped down the poison.
He could tell that Yae had widened her crimson eyes, and was looking at him with an expression of surprise. But, given that he had already ended up taking a lethal dose, there was no helping it.
Yae: [I’ll ask later.]
Blood frothed at the corners of his mouth, and tasting rusted iron as that mercilessly defiled the inside of his helmet, Aldebaran’s consciousness was crushed by the wind――,
× × ×
Aldebaran: [――Hk.]
It was something he had known would happen, but reality seemed to follow up by greeting him with the howling wind.
When he opened his shut eyelids, ever present there was the odious radiance of the sun―― as it glared down at him intently, Aldebaran grasped that he was surrounded by several hundreds of meters of sky.
Aldebaran: [You’ve gotta be kidding me.]
Warping, instantaneous travel, teleport. ――No matter how one chose to express it, the result was the same; in the sense of manipulating physical space, that which fell in the realm of Yin Magic was a hyper spell that necessitated all sorts of conditions be met.
If one carefully constructed the technique and erected a field wherein it was etched, it would be possible to create a limited warp connected by two doors through that field. Or probably even without advanced preparations, if a caster could simply visualize the coordinates of a destination, and constructed the technique to send their target there with the preparedness to fully expend their own Gate, they might have been able to issue just a one-way ticket.
× × ×
Ultimately, the phenomenon that had sent Aldebaran and Yae into the sky was at an impossible level of difficulty even if technically achievable through magic, which meant that some other form of foul play was involved.
Not once had he gotten word of a Divine Protection that could physically interfere with others to such an extent.
Of course, like in the case of Reinhard, Divine Protections thought to be trivial could be implemented in an unusual way, and there were also those who would end up tailoring them into dreadful weapons of war, but――,
Aldebaran: [――This is different. But, if it’s an Authority…]
As far as Aldebaran knew, the existing Authorities of Wrath, Gluttony, and Lust belonged to the Sin Archbishops, while Sloth and Greed were both in the possession of Natsuki Subaru.
Excluding Aldebaran’s Authority, which ought to be classified as all manners of unenumerated, supernumerary, and appropriated, the leftover possibilities were Pride, as well as Vanagloria and Tristitia. ――The last two were supposed to be unusable by anyone, so the only candidate remaining was Pride.
× × ×
Aldebaran: [Pride has come? Sprung up? Gotten involved? ――Nah, that ain’t what matters here.]
Be it someone Aldebaran knew who had been chosen as Pride, or be it someone he did not know who had gotten involved as Pride, that which he ought to focus on was the possibility that he had made an enemy of an Authority holder.
Save for Natsuki Subaru and Reinhard, the only variables that could pose a threat to Aldebaran were unmistakably those who held Authorities―― none other than those destroyers of concepts, permitted to bend the very rules of the world, trampling upon them as they pleased.
× × ×
Aldebaran: [――Alright, settled down.]
Are you finally done panicking after being forced to go along with your enemy’s plans? Feeling as if he heard those words voiced by the roaring wind, Aldebaran gave his reply.
In order to be able to do so, Aldebaran had sorted out the situation in his head.
Of course, the actual circumstances of being thrown out into the sky, the regret he had about Yae having come along with him, and the sensation of his consciousness being whited-out by the resurgence of Memories, in reality, none of that had changed.
But, that was a cheap price to pay if he did not die for real. Such was Aldebaran’s life.
In exchange for that dirt-cheap price, he could easily afford to let his head, body, and mind take a breather.
???: [――Al-sama.]
Yae grabbed onto Aldebaran’s single arm, and seeing her tied-up hair violently fluttering like a dog’s tail in good spirits, Aldebaran advanced his thoughts onto the next phase.
With both himself and Yae alive, they would need to land on the ground.
For that purpose――,
Yae: [I’ll steady our posture! Al-sama, don’t part from me――]
Aldebaran: [Nah, that’s my line.]
As Yae enthusiastically tried to initiate her own measures after being thrown high into the sky, Aldebaran hindered her by forcibly pulling her into his own chest. Because he had used his right arm to do so, he rapidly forged the usual stone prosthetic arm, and rose it aloft―― that instant, a vehement impact struck his prosthetic arm from above, adding speed to their free fall.
Heavily reverberating across the artificial arm, was a blow from a dreadful and fiendish lump of iron. Mixing in with the tremendous voice of the wind, it was a threat present at the end of the clangoring chains, dancing like a writhing snake.
Contrary to its name, it was a spiked iron ball with a form molded to send people into an eternal sleep――,
???: [――Prepare yourselves!]
On the opposite side of the iron ball that had smashed into him, descending was a blue-haired girl who appeared to carry the sun on her back. Having greatly diminished Aldebaran’s advantage, the opponent who had shot up the signal for the commencement of the battle―― Rem bellowed.
Slowly protruding from her forehead was a single horn. It was a sign that she was of the Oni Clan, proof that she was a member of the race created to decisively purge this world of all traces of the Witch.
But even more than that, now that he had recalled her existence, it took on a different significance to Aldebaran.
That was――,
Aldebaran: [To begin with, you’re not even supposed to be alive, Lil’ Miss Rem!!]
△▼△▼△▼△
Leaping into the air with hardened resolve, the hem of her maid uniform fluttering behind her, Rem gripped the handle of the Morningstar tightly in her hand as she glared down at Al and his maid below.
――Up until this point, the surprise attack had gone perfectly according to plan.
By exposing Al to the sight of Rem, they robbed him of his ability to make decisions, rendering him frozen, and in that instant they utilized Compression in order to abduct him. This not only separated Al from his allies, but also trapped him in a position where he was prevented from moving right away―― allowing for him to be successfully dragged out into the sky, a matter on which everyone had readily agreed.
When it came to the crucial timing of the aforementioned attack, Otto, who had been pursuing the Al Troupe while engaging them in guerilla warfare, had prepared a message to be delivered in the event that he was defeated; a precaution that proved invaluable.
That signal marked the defeat of the formidable Otto at the hands of the Al Troupe, and thus was tantamount to the moment in which their tension would ease, even if only slightly.
Rem: [Priscilla-san was one who showed me utmost kindness. As someone who cared deeply for that Priscilla-san, I cannot stand by and overlook Al-san’s outrageous actions any longer.]
When objections had been raised about Rem going to confront Al directly, Rem had chosen those words in order to express her own wishes.
Ultimately, while that was merely a matter of the mindset that formed the foundation of her resolve, it was also undoubtedly a display of Rem’s true feelings, and the core of her unwavering motivation in facing this battle.
Of course, right beside that core was the presence of Subaru, who had been captured by Al. Rather, he might have actually been the core. ――No, Priscilla-san was also the core after all, so there would just need to be two cores. She would have to apologize to Beatrice-sama later.
In any case, that determination of hers settled the matter of Rem’s participation in the unit that would confront Al head-on.
Strategically speaking, there was no particular vision of Rem being particularly useful on any other battlefronts, but even aside from the initial disruption of Memories, there was more than enough of a possibility for Rem to be super effective against Al.
The specifics of that possibility were precisely――,
Aldebaran: [To begin with, you’re not even supposed to be alive, Lil’ Miss Rem!!]
The moment the iron ball smashed down from the high skies, Al blocked the firm impact with a prosthetic arm forged of rock, shouting angrily as he caught sight of Rem.
Despite being buffeted by the roaring winds, Rem heard those words with clarity, thus convincing her of that which Petra had told her about the possible relationship between Rem and Al that she was not aware of.
Rem: [Although, Rem can’t remember any such interactions between Al-san and her incompetent self…]
She had also checked with Ram, but it seemed that her only contact with Al was limited to one time in the Royal Capital before the Royal Selection officially began. It seemed they had not had a conversation memorable enough to leave an impression, and even what they had talked about remained ambiguous.
Likely, the point of contact between the sisters and Al was one-sided, perceived only by the other party.
But――,
Rem: [That manner of speaking is truly hurtful! When we were attacked by Arakiya-san in Guaral, the ones who had saved us were you, Al-san, and――]
Pausing there, however, Rem firmly swallowed all her hesitations, and,
Rem: [――Priscilla-san, is that not right!?]
Deliberately bringing up Priscilla’s name, Rem had attempted to agitate Al.
For resorting to the worst, most underhanded tactics she could think of, Rem despised herself. However, thinking it necessary in order to put a stop to Al’s outrageous behavior, she steeled her body and heart as an Oni and fixed her stern gaze on him.
Aldebaran: [――――]
In response to Rem’s provocation, Al did not raise his voice, instead choosing to maintain silence.
Within his jet-black iron helmet, Al’s expression remained hidden behind his visor, the light dwelling in his eyes was unknown. Even the amount of pain Rem’s words just now had inflicted upon him, everything remained unknown to her.
Rem: [――Here it comes!]
However, Rem did not wait for Al’s reaction, resuming her onslaught without granting him any time to rest.
Rem had already set her priorities. From the beginning, when compared to Ram, who displayed talent and genius a cut above the rest of all other beings in this world, Rem was clumsy, mediocre, and inferior in every way.
If Rem desired something beyond the reach of the average person, then she would just have to carefully select the best possible means for that end.
For the time being, Rem excelled at ignoring lower priorities in order to focus on her higher ones.
Rem: [Huma!]
Alongside the incantation, Mana interfered with the world, invoking the unreal phenomenon known as magic.
Unlike Emilia’s Huma, which manipulated heat and condensed moisture in the atmosphere to create ice, Rem specialized in the type of Huma that created water from nothing using magic, outputting that water as materialized ice from the outset.
Neither Huma was necessarily superior to the other, but the Emilia-type Huma, which utilized the moisture in the air, required less Mana and possessed the advantage of remaining in place after serving its purpose, allowing for it to be reused. On the other hand, the Rem-type Huma required more Mana because it created water from nothing, and after being used, it would return to Mana and leave no trace.
Based on that explanation alone, the Emilia-type Huma might seem to have the overwhelming superiority. However, the Rem-type Huma had its own powerful advantages.
This was due to the fact that it could create ice at any desired location and in any desired shape, regardless of the amount of moisture in the air or the quality of the water――,
Rem: [――HAAAHHHH!!]
Kicking off the ice platform she had created in midair, Rem ferociously lunged toward Al and his companion.
By manifesting a Huma that was anchored in place, Rem created an impromptu platform capable of withstanding even her full-powered kicks. The power of the Morningstar, unleashed after gaining a momentary boost from the platform, was beyond comparison to that which only utilized the force generated by gyrating her body.
The iron ball spun violently as it hurtled toward Al, sparing no quarter.
Capable of easily crushing a human body upon direct impact, it was as if it was responding to the affection Subaru had shown by polishing it every day, closing in toward Al from Rem’s hand with delight, closer, and closer, and closer――,
???: [As if I’d let you.]
At the moment of impact, the loving iron ball was halted by countless threads.
Upon closer inspection, that was the work of the crimson shinobi held in Al’s arm, twisting her body to glare at Rem―― she was a thread user without peer, subservient to Al.
The shinobi, embraced from behind by Al, weaved the threads she had extended from both hands into a net to softly catch the iron ball like a cushion.
Her skills were impressive, but that was not what caught Rem’s attention.
In the first place, the plan behind this surprise attack was to completely isolate Al from his allies by throwing him out into the sky. For her to have intervened there, something was wrong with her. ――No, it was mistaken to think that there was something wrong with her. Rem was well aware of why she had been able to do it.
Despite everyone else having been completely stunned by Rem’s sudden appearance, the shinobi retained enough leeway for herself to reach her hands out, and channel it into practical action.
As for what had allowed her to do so――,
Rem: [――That would be, love!]
Aldebaran: [Wrong!!]
Shinobi: [You’re wrong!!]
In response to Rem’s confident outcry, Al and the shinobi shouted back almost simultaneously.
Taking advantage of that opening, Rem forcefully pulled back the Morningstar that was about to be taken from her and retrieved the iron ball from the shinobi, who was reluctant to lose her balance. In preparation for her next attack, Rem created multiple new footholds, shot herself off them, and rapidly descended in pursuit of the two.
However――,
Shinobi: [It’s scary when someone catches up to you, but when stretched too far, even a lead can become a shortcoming, y’know?]
As composure returned to the previously tense expression of the shinobi, she flashed a sweet smile as she shot out a thread. And the target of that thread, had been the foothold of ice that Rem had created midair.
Having been suddenly thrown out into the sky, Al and his shinobi had had no choice but to enter a freefall, but by anchoring onto the footholds created by Rem, they would be able to stabilize themselves.
From what she had heard, the shinobi’s skills far exceeded Rem’s own. If the opponent were able to compensate for the disadvantage she had been given, the gap in strength that ought to have been somewhat closed would be reopened in no time.
Rem: [Indeed, of this I am aware. I am full of shortcomings, after all.]
That was why Rem would not allow her opponents to compensate for their disadvantages.
Shinobi: [――Hk!]
Hearing Rem’s reply―― no, feeling the sensation she had just grasped vanishing like mist, the shinobi’s expression once again lost its composure.
The foothold of ice she had attempted to use as an anchor point vanished as if it were a dream or an illusion. Of course, neither was it a dream, nor an illusion. It was Mana. Rem had simply returned it to being Mana at will.
Despite both being Huma, this was the main difference between the Emilia-type, which once frozen, stayed frozen, and the Rem-type, which froze only when desired and was easy to tidy up.
Rem: [Simply put, Rem’s version is more offensive.]
Right before Rem’s eyes, the shinobi lost the target upon which she was exerting strength, thus breaking her stance.
Holding onto the shinobi, Al was caught up in that as well, almost losing his balance, but he managed to reinforce the exterior of his cracked prosthetic arm, consecutively blocking a flurry of iron ball attacks unleashed by Rem, two, three times.
Thereupon――,
???: [――Hiyah!!]
――Rising obliquely upwards from below, Emilia’s long leg mercilessly slammed into Al’s defenseless back with toes armored in a boot of ice.
△▼△▼△▼△
――The division of the Aldebaran Troupe.
Against a group rebelling against the world to an extent that rivalled the Witch Cult, even surpassing it in terms of instantaneous velocity, that was a prerequisite that they absolutely could not afford to mess up.
The surprise tactic performed in order to meet that condition, had gone about ninety percent as planned. The ten percent miscalculation―― how the presence of the shinobi who had chosen to go along with them would come into play, was something that wounded the plan as an uncertain variable, but overly worrying about it would just be all the more harmful.
Each of them would fulfill their own part to the utmost.
After all, without that sort of faith and resolve, the stratagem to stop the Aldebaran Troupe would not bear any fruit.
???: [――Tru~ly, everyone’s got the sort of look in their eyes that one can’t help but tremble, you kno~w.]
Pronouncing so whilst dangling his languidly hanging arms to and fro, the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, Roy Alphard, exhibited a sadistic smile as he surveyed his surroundings.
In his environs were shadows that appeared in succession as though substituting Aldebaran and the others immediately after they were hurled―― astood there were warriors assembled to defeat the Aldebaran Troupe.
All of them cast gazes that stood their ground against the Sin Archbishop, to which Roy unwittingly licked his lips.
Roy: [How nice, so nice, perhaps it is nice. But you know, to gather in such large numbers, the combat power required for taking care of us might get rounded up altogether in one fell swoop, isn’t it?]
???: [――Hah. Likewise for you, how about showing some lovableness by cowering in fright a bit more? That is, if you do not wish to meet death the same way as your sibling, who perished at the Tower of sand.]
???: [On top of tha~t, do you people even have Witchbeast-chans in your strike zone, hmm~? If not the~n… you can think of me, as you people’s natural enemy~.]
Amidst the warriors, the shadow clutching her own elbows and the shadow combing down her three-strand braid responded so. Even in the face of their unmistakable hostility, Roy was unable to conceal a smile trembling in premonition of a banquet.
???: [Th-this isn’t a joke… can’t you all see the Divine Dragon here!? You know how much damage it did to the Royal Capital… there’s no chance that you can win this!]
Contrary to the elated Roy, Heinkel’s voice trembled with a face deathly pale.
As per his words, he stood right by the feet of the Divine Dragon while relying on its intimidation, and in response to the hostility that stared him down, he fervently raised his voice with a loathsome expression.
That figure ought to have been called “a man who borrowed the might of Dragons”, but Heinkel’s point was in fact not mistaken. The Divine Dragon possessed absolute power; if one were to stand in its way without a plan, what awaited them was a curtain’s close of merciless annihilation.
???: [Tho’, that’s only if ya ain’t got a plan.]
Heinkel: [――Hk, the old giant.]
???: [This old giant’s seen the Demi-Human War. Never again will I give mercy ta those barin’ their fangs against me. ――I’ll be havin’ ya return Felt.]
Before Heinkel as his breathing choked up and he averted his gaze, the giant stroked his bald head and declared such. At the giant’s proclamation, Heinkel’s cheeks tensed up, but, there was another figure that began to stir.
And that, was none other than the Dragon he had singled out earlier.
Dragon: [I dunno if I should be saying this, but it makes me damn nervous that we’ve been pushed to this extent. I’m keenly feeling what it means to make an enemy of the world.]
Despite being a Dragon of such dignified appearance, it placed its hand on its head in a strangely human-like gesture.
While giving off a sense of presence such that the majority of those who lived in the Dragon Kingdom would prostrate themselves just by laying eyes upon it, the way it conducted itself made it seem like an entirely different thing.
At the very least, in the eyes of those who knew the real Divine Dragon, the sense of something being amiss was palpable.
???: [But then again, unlike the dignitaries of the Kingdom, I’m in no such panic about the image of the Divine Dragon crumbling, or of its brand value pluuumetting~. ――Onlyyy~, I wonder about the one next to me? Wouldn’t you have quite a few reservaaations~?]
???: [No, Master, you needn’t worry. Groundless fear. It would be laughable for me to pile words onto a past that I have already shed. Feeble.]
Looking down on those who showed no fear before the dragonhusk that did not align with its own mind or stature, “Aldebaran” narrowed its golden eyes.
Among those standing in their way, attention began to converge on a small silhouette slowly stepping forward. Naturally, Roy and Heinkel also shifted their attention to that silhouette.
It was unclear how that individual had come to stand in that position, but strangely enough, they understood without the need for words to tell them. ――That girl represented the will of everyone present.
At the center of everyone’s attention, the girl―― Petra Leyte thrust her finger up towards the heavens, and spoke.
Petra: [――It’s all-out war. Be dolls and let yourselves get thoroughly defeated, alright?]
So she declared.
Rem fighting you love to see it
I’m so freakin happy she’s here doing Rem things. Goated arc
People have low standards on what qualifies as ACTUAL quality
True, so far it has been plot device after plot device to make Al somehow get away in every single situation and stacking so many characters makes it even worse.
Now tell me how Emily got his brain crash from Rem’s memories when fighting Al’s when everyone else gets that when seeing her in person… talknig about cheap plot devices.
Now tell me how Emily got his brain crash from Rem’s memories when fighting Al’s when everyone else gets that when seeing her in person…
I’m confused. What do you mean by everyone else gets a brain crash? You mean theu fall apart and become dumb?
talknig about cheap plot devices.
The sad part is its only going to get worse from here
Part 2
Shit. This isn’t the first time the series has done this
Emília didn’t remember Rem mid fight, she just felt a strange felling because of the regurgitation, but everyone felt it, simultaniously, even Al felt it at the time but as Roy himself said, given the situation, the brain crash would be harder on Emília because she is closer to Rem, that was literally the reason why he chose to spat specifically Rem
Nope. Arc still sucks. Too much plot armor, too many plot devices, and too much lore destruction in one arc
Bro, el arco está buenísimo, si no te gusta algo de acción vete a casa a llorar además que armadura argumental ni que mierdas, todo está bien conectado y tiene todo el sentido del mundo si no te gusta al menos no comentes que pareces un hater de mrd hahaha
Es muy bueno el arco, no sé por qué se quejan tanto, parecen niños chiquitos que no están felices con nada, no sé qué verga quieren para estar contentos. Seguro son power scalers o alguna mierda así por eso nada les gusta pero yo creo que esto es de más mejores partes de re:zero, claro que siempre ha tenido sus fallas pero sigue siendo de las mejores cosas que he leído. A este punto considero que no saben leer porque esto es demasiado bueno y no entiendo porqué tanto lloriqueo.
I feel like that Huma stuff was a bit of a retcon. Or I didn’t understand it.
Because I distinctly remember Emilia shooting ice balls at the Rachins gang, and them fading away in arc 1.
Doesn’t really matter that much. I just don’t think I’ve ever noticed a difference besides the colors they have in the anime.
She used Spirit arts from Puck in S1, not her own spells.
Puck is user of fire magic too. I sure that he is her father.
at face value hes a strange man who appeared to a girl in the woods. said girl was alone afraid and had memory issues. also mentally she was 7.
puck looks less like father material from this perspective
Fortuna said that Emilia’s father and his wife had taken on a heavy burden and were no longer able to come to the forest, but she would eventually meet them. Puck had referred to Emilia as his daughter on multiple occasions. He had stated that he had transformed into a cat for a mission related to Emilia. He had spent 100 years by Emilia’s frozen side. He had the same magical affinity as Emilia and Fortuna. However, their personalities are completely different. Emilia is the kindest character. Puck is one of the most evil characters.
That was when she was using Spirit Magic. She transitioned to using her own magic in Arc 4.
didnt she take the time to melt them? i remember that being a thing
Thank you for the translation!
Yae loves al, kawaiiiiii.
Thank you so much for this translation. Of it weren’t for Alcanica, Heinkel and Roy would be cooked since they are fighting against: Roswaal the best magician in the world, Meili the mother of witchbeasts, Ram the reincarnation of the oni god, Clind bearer of the authority of Melancholy/Tristia, Calgary Cromwell, the master strategist behind the demihuman war, and Petra who knows exactly how to defeat Aldebaran’s authority. Pretty sure Garfiel is not here since he is still recovering but if the Emilia camp can secure Felt it’s over for Aldebaran. Also found it really cool how Emilia and Rem hit an insane combo move on Al, probably breaking his back instantly.
I’ve always wondered how a fight would go if Rem and Emilia teamed up
Really. Flash remnade. Flash remnade? really? Fucking really?! What was wrong with flash grenade?! Hell, one website says flash lemonade. Wtf is with these different titles for this chapter?!
The WCT one is the only correct one. Unedited AI will always get it wrong.
Cuz Rem was the flash grenade there. Flash Rem-nade
then why not just flash grenade?
Because it is Flash Remnade in the Japanese.
I see. Weird, bit okay
Also because Subaru is a nerd, will make nerdy ideas and references.
Damn it’s a re zero hater and even he’s screaming at you “cause it’s rem” which i agree with xD emilia and rem comments are a mist with subaru (and subaru-influenced narrator xD)
I guess teppei is really that desperate. This arc really is damage control from vollachia and are eating this shit up. Kind of sad and pathetic
I guess teppei is really that desperate. This arc really is damage control from vollachia and are eating this shit up. Kind of sad and pathetic but what can you do
You mean because pandering and fanservice
because otherwise the pun is lost in translation
I just checked there, and some if the chapters in arc 9 are titled the exact same way as they are in wct like chapters 33, 35, 3, 5 , etc
Weird thing to crash out over
I don’t see how they exposed themselves
the lemonade thing is a poor translation.
Rem directly from her japaness writing is ‘Remu’ , with Japaness R being able to turn into R or L in english based on translators choice for proper name.
Hence the Lemu-nade joke being turn into Lemonade by some AI translation
Lemonade, in Japanese they Will said “REMONADE”. I think nothing wrong with that.
1) Al isn’t Pride, he has a special authority that isn’t related to the witch factor. In Arc 7, after meeting Olbart, Al lost his authority, but Subaru kept Sloth and Greed, so that’s what I expected. Then who has Pride? Reinhard’s mother? She doesn’t age like most witch factor users. Al knows everything about everyone. He knows a lot of things he never had a chance to know. He recognized Clind. Omega decided to hide from Clind until she recovered her powers. It doesn’t make sense that she didn’t tell Al that Clind had Tristitia. But he doesn’t know.
2) Tappei posted a drawing online a few days ago of Echidna, Beatrice, and Emilia as a happy family – a mother and two daughters. I think he’s hinting that she’s not the villain of this arc and is deceiving Al. Previously, she tried to force a terrible contract on Subaru, but then there was a plot twist where she showed herself to be worse than she was, wanting to teach him to value his life. The real goal was for Subaru to reject her. There is a plot hole with Clind’s teleportation. Al’s enemies figured out that his authority was limited by time. Incorrect, it was limited by distance.
Could I get a link to that image that Tappei posted? And what’s the plot hole with Clind’s authority?
I wrote what the plot hole is. Rom said that Al can only go back in time for a short time. They decided to teleport him far away from the allies. But it is absolutely useless, he must immediately return to the past to the allies. It really only worked because he is limited by distance, not time. They did not know about it. They act according to real information, not received. I can not give a link to the picture, this site does not allow me to do this. You can find it in the Re_Zero group on Reddit. [Media] New Emilia Birthday illustration!
That falls more into plot convenience then plot hole, which still isn’t great but I see your point. Thanks for the info on where to find the image since I don’t use twitter.
I actually think that they used the teleport because Al still got flash banged by Rem so that he passes enough time that he can’t go back ( Emilia Camp View) it obviously didn’t work that way but it still had it’s effects
So they assumed that Al would decide to update the checkpoint immediately after the missed attack? No.
The cast thinks Al’s looping is small but I don’t think they think it’s only a few seconds that he can rewind. The Rem stun probably only lasted at most 5 seconds. Perhaps they are only doing this to increase their odds of retrieving Otto (unlikely) or it’s part of Petra’s plan which we still don’t know what exactly that is.
Thats not a plot hole. Clind’s Authority is time compression, not a teleport. Time is compressed and they sent him miles into the sky during it. They believe his ability is limited by time so you could say they’re betting on him being stuck in the air regardless of him using his ability once he snaps out of the stun. Since the travel time still exists, Clind’s authority just lets them and the world ignore it.
3) They came up with and executed a plan that would have been completely useless if Al had a time limit. But the countermeasures were effective against Al’s real limitation of authority. I liked the explanation about teleportation magic. Beatrice created a portal in arc 3 because she has high skill. Satella teleported Subaru in arc 7, WoE did it in arc 6. Both times it was done without a portal, because they are both semi-intelligent animals (fact, not an insult) who cannot perceive anything except their love for Subaru.
alderbaran himself mentions distance and time are the limiting factors in arc 8 doesnt he?
In what way is it useless? Petra is the person behind the plan. She assumed that Al has RbD, meaning he can activate his authority by dying. She doesn’t know about the pill. So, stunning Al and isolating him from his teammates—who could potentially kill him—makes perfect sense. He was teleported 200 meters above the ground, so by the time he hits the ground, the time limit they believed to exist would likely have passed. Meaning he would be trapped in the loop of endless fall. On top of that, he would be unable to do much during free fall. It is literally a great way to force Al to update his “matrix” naturally from the narrative standpoint.
Only if they think he can’t return for more than 5 seconds. That’s unlikely.
That’s exactly the way they first figured it out though. Petra has additional information on RbD that makes her consider the possibility of going back further, but Rom, the one who actually independently figured it out in the first place, always thought was a couple seconds – I believe he even tried to narrow it down during his prior strategy against Al.
Well, 5 seconds not a couple seconds, I’m an idiot, but same thing applies regardless.
Heinkel is pride
If he is Pride, he must be extremely stubborn or go crazy. He is very weak morally, and he is not crazy. If he has the witch factor, he should not age, but he does.
Witch factors don’t technically stop aging. Echidna’s had one, but was still trying to gain immortality thru the ryuzu’s.
Pandora, Clind, Regulus, Capella, Daphne and Typhon did not age. Echidna did age. The others are unknown. I consider her an exception because she was born with the witch factor.
Who told you that Typhon and Daphne didn’t age?
And ffs, Subaru do age. Stop this nonesense that the WF grants you longevity.
Daphne’s book of the dead says she’s immortal. With Typhon in arc 6, there was official art at the time of getting the witch factor. She’s the same as in arc 4, but she’s been a witch for at least a few years.
look at the witches then at the archbishops. this generations authority holders are all twisted and warped from thier sins.
wasnt hector the one dead set on killing her. clind has it now but because its not made for him he has to pay to use the authority. i believe simply because it was created it isnt as absoloute
Im praying bro… Al don’t fuckin lose this you’re my second favorite character
My third favourite character. I want his victory.
Sadly he is destined to be defeated because he is not the mc and because of plot.
Exactly. Its kind of sad, but teppe did say he would have like 12 or 13. It makes the story boring since we know the bad guy will always lose until we get there
I also want al to win
Onis were created for the purpose of eradicating witches? Was that mentioned before?
I didn’t really get Al thinking Rem died. He can’t mean arc 7/8, so it should be a memory from before arc 4. Did Subaru’s authority overwrite Al’s at one point? Doesn’t really make sense either.
We still don’t know who Pride is, but apparently Al doesn’t think that Subaru has the witch factor.
Al was in freefall for several seconds and then Emilia kicked his defenseless back from below? That sound pretty deadly. Shouldn’t the plan be catching him alive and knocking him out?
Back in Arc 3, Al thought that Rem was dead. He probably thought that Subaru wouldn’t save her after the torture.
Not only he thought Rem was dead. He saw her Blue hair and called her Ram. Meaning he was sure the Pink one should be dead, and her name must be Rem.
My bet stands: the one defeating Ram in oni village and cutting her horn was Al.
Impossible. He was on the island at that moment.
maybe its how he ended up on the island. the timing is absoloute that they lined up.
No, according to the timeline, he was definitely on the island several years before and years after.
Yet he called her “Little miss Rem” which would indicate he knew her when she was a kid , living in the oni village
He is much older than she. She is little for him.
Brooooother, we know who cut Ram’s horn. It was Faust and he is long time killed by Ram.
I believe in Greed If Echidna said that Onis were made to smell people with miasma, I don’t think Echidna said that Onis were used to kill witches but it can be inferred that they helped with that as well. For your last statement, Emilia’s kick probably wouldn’t kill him either way since Emilia may not be using full force (in this instance) or Al may just be able to survive it with pure vitality, or both. Emilia was probably aiming to break his spine and freeze his back to capture him.
Are you lot not paying attention to the story? Especially the last couple of chapters, it is highly theorized/confirmed that the world of Re:Zero is looping and Al is highly suggested as of just the last few chapters to already be existing in a loop of the world with many of the things he has said and narration thoughts that are written.
Rem probably usually doesn’t survive in the looping world. Subaru is changing things this time around, thus we have a story to begin with. Re: Zero’s story seems to be covering this essential change of the normal loop pattern. Many things are different this time around.
Well, if retains the memories from looping worlds plus all the death loops of his own authority, it would be no wonder if he were confused at times. But till now he hadn’t shown much indication of that. I have heard about this theory, but I’m not 100% on board with it, because all those loops in loops would make the story a mess, so I was hoping for a cleaner conclusion.
No shit Al doesnt think subaru has the pride witch factor because he fucking doesnt… Is it that hard to understand that pride is unknown and Al has a superficial authority. Subaru has envy, sloth , greed… Basic reading literacy.
RbD is not confirmed as Envy. The scenes in the Garden of Shadows say that he only has Sloth and Greed out of the seven. I have no way to confirm this, but I think that RbD is Love. Satella’s love for Subaru rewrites the world around his soul when he dies. Subaru’s love for Satella heals all her wounds. Immortality works both ways in different ways.
that door the one pressumed to house satella in arc six. didnt it show three lit up not two. im not sure if thats correct but as a guess maybe that was refering to the suthorites something only the sage can hold all of. thus a hreat gate seeing as in 400 years subaru is the next candidate.
The door saw 4 witch factors, but Subaru didn’t and still doesn’t have Gluttony.
The extra light was probably from Gluttony because Louis put part of her soul in him during the amnesia part.
The extra was Gluttony, but it had 4,not three. Meaning Subaru has one more WF besides Greed and Sloth.
4 factors. He had Sloth and Greed. Envy – Satella was watching him. Gluttony – Luis was watching him.
Chances are, RbD is Satella’s authority. She’s the one having it and she’s the one using it, seeing as Subaru doesn’t have any control over it.
Flugel had RbD before Satella got Envy.
Where is this info from? I have never heard of this.
This is false information. Nowhere in the series has it been confirmed that Flugel as Return by Death at the moment.
In the side story about Alec Hoshin, he says that Flugel is a weakling with no chance of survival. Satella had not yet become the Witch of Envy during this side story. In arc 6, Shaula said that Flugel could not die under any circumstances, but she was probably born much later.
I wasn’t highlighting that Subaru doesn’t have it, I was just pointing out that Al doesn’t know its current holder either. I mean there was a time I thought Subaru had it (because arc 3 confrontation with Petelgeus and Pride IF), but now I don’t think he has it (since arc 6). No need to be rude, we don’t know for sure if RBD directly is Envy either.
I wonder if Roswaal will finally get his chance to kill the dragon soon
OUR GLORIOUS REM IS SO BACK
Rem and Emilia are fighting together, meanwhile their fans continue to fight against each other like always. Sad!
That’s.. actually a very nice interpretation, my friend! I wish people would think more like you!
I mean Rem is at fault for her actions in previous loops, but Emilia being targeted by the Witch’s cult is an entirely different history, it’s not like she wants to be used as the witch’s vessel.
>Rem is at fault for her actions in previous loops
You’re dumb as a brick. You can only say “Rem was”.
You might as well say that for everyone. Garfiel’s relationship with Otto is based on them being ignorant that he killed them in a failed loop.
Camp Emilia is a camp of lies.
They’re also full of psychotic and incompetent morons
Yeah. They all are. Which is kind of sad
What. It’s talking about the morning star being stronger (it isn’t actually any stronger) due to Subaru polishing it every day while Rem was asleep, not making light of Subaru’s torture.
I hope this does not end the same as the last arc will fumbling things at the last possible instance. We already have the line from Emilia’s trial with Al stating that he failed.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry I couldn’t kill you”
I hope it does not end the same way but at the same his goal is to most likely kill the Witch of Envy it hard to say where the story would go after that. Then again a one point Felix was planed to be the final villain. So a one point there where plans for it to be someone else who was not the Witch of Envy.
It’s kind of a pity you can’t comprehend the emotional connotations of Subaru maintaining the instrument of his torture. Like, you don’t understand the magnitude of forgiveness and attachment, and how Subaru would yearn to hear the bone chilling sound of chains that once were his nightmare, the meaning of the path from cold hatred to unshakeable faith and love.
To you it’s just “haha let’s turn torture scene to running gag”
To you it’s just “haha let’s turn torture scene to running gag”
Because it is. And subarus wholesome turn around is glorified to you because hes an unrealistic protagonist
On the April 6th talk show, Tappei said 2 times that he enjoys Subaru’s suffering and he strives to hurt him more. He always downplays his suffering. Subaru is an extremely unrealistic protagonist. No one in the world would forgive Rem for holding his hand before torturing him. But Subaru and Tappei said that it means she is a good person. No matter the torture, she held his hand. This happens throughout the entire story. This does not happen in reality. Subaru has already said and done VERY much since arc 3 to make us understand that he has forgiven Rem. Writing Subaru’s caring of torture weapons 3 times is just Tappei’s sadism. Those who repent are forgiven. Rem did not repent, did not ask for forgiveness, did not change. She will torture Subaru again if Roy eats his name.
Not just that, but the way he brings up the royal selection incident for NO REASON!
Not only had he forgiven her, he fell in love with her and made her his idol. He doesn’t need her apologies (for thing that didn’t even happen) or any changes to her character. In his mind Rem is awesome and has all the qualities he wished he could have. The torture is nothing but a small memory compared to all the new impressions she gave him. Do you think he even remembered it during “Live. Love you” scene?
Part 2
Hell arc 3 rem is poorly written because it invalidates the ENTIRE message of arc 2. She went from copying and idealizing one person (which was portrayed as bad) to doing it to someone else the VERY NEXT ARC and say its good. Instead of learning not to idolize and copy people AT ALL… which is why sloth rem is much better written
Part 3
They idolize and get alone with each other easily because the plot made subaru unrealistic and not hold a grudge with her, which any REAL human would. I’m nit saying its impossible to NEVER forgive her, but to forgive her as easily as he did is NOT possible, regardless of the reason
Part 4
Their relationship only works because teppei wrote characters to be plot devices for the sake of telling a messages. The crusch conversation where she rejects subaru is proof of this
“You haven’t once mentioned about saving emilia” that line was forced and illogical.
Stfu double_test
I guess you are just too smart for ReZero and an expert on psychology AND on good writing. Sheesh, aren’t we all lucky to have an expert on everything around?
– She’s bad, he must hate her! Unrealistic!
– Relationships are not real! You are only allowed to love good people!
– Plot devices!
– I don’t understand why a character acted like that! Bad writing!
You are not here to enjoy the story, right? Cause you only whine and stroke your ego.
Do you even know what [Romanticism] means?
And just because you dared to badmouth my favorite character, let me explain to you why Subaru forgives people and aducate on what Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE) is.
Subaru is a good person. Yes, he hates himself. Yes, he doesn’t think he deserves to be happy.
Whenever he is hurt by other people he looks for the reason outside of their personality, avoiding the trap of FAE.
Not “They are bad for hurting me”, but “What did I do to make them hurt me?”
This is a sign of a mature personality – intuitial understanding that people’s actions are often the reactions to circumstances outside of their control.
pt2
The same person can shoot you in the face to protect his family if he catches you armed and trespassing at night, OR he can become your best friend if you come greet him at the front door.
Now, on why Subaru fogives Rem. He didn’t hate her in the first place. What he felt besides suffering was terror of the whole situation. Intense fear mixed with confusion surpassed resentment for a person dealing the pain. Just like you can’t see the light of a candle under the sun. And unlike hatred, fear is a lot easier to dispel by understanding, getting to know the cause behind a phenomenon.
So yes, something small like hand holding was important for Subaru because it confirmed his belief that friendly and gentle treatment he experienced from the twins was not his “misunderstanding”.
It’s funny how you put words in my mouth, dickrider kun.
I never said he shouldn’t forgive her. I’m saying it’s unrealistic to forgive her that EASILY. To be cool with her like nothing ever happened. People would involuntarily tense up at the source of their trauma.
Part 2
Forgiveness should take time, even after the conflict is done. Would you easily forgive her if you were subaru?
Do you understand that you and everyone who justifies Rem would hate her for the rest of your life if you were in Subaru’s position? If you like a character who is evil, that’s not a bad thing, but admit that she is evil. The only justification for Rem’s supporters is that an unrealistic masochistic character doesn’t hate her.
but admit that she is evil.
She’s only when she’s not in love with subaru
If Al weasels his way out of this one yet again he better lose some teammates or something…
Ros-chi is finally on scene, wondering if he will finally get to kill Volcanica like he always wanted? It might even be his named chapter
Rem’s best girl. Most popular. Best at everything and you can’t convince me otherwise lmao
Ditto. All the time reading her makes me want to read more unlike anything else. She’s great and I really hope she keeps the spotlight from here on
You are using a definition that doesn’t mean what you think it means. Put some points into INT on the next level up please.
Put some points into INT on the next level up please.
Please check your grammar, alright?
Put some points into INT on the next level up please.
Please check your grammar, cool?
Rem and Mary Sue in the same sentence
I know right? It’s almost like it’s true. Oh wait, it is!
Lmao no it’s not
I disagree. I think they’re correct in calling rem a mary sue. Nit as bad as emilia, bug definitely up there
Define mary sue smart boy
Define mary sue smart boy
I think you know, wise guy
Just shut the hell up. You have been dragging this shit in every fucking comment section it’s tiring af
Then have teppei stop referencing subarus suffering from past arcs
How about you drop this novel and shut the hell up
Why? They’re allowed to critique something they don’t like
He keeps complaining about the same shit in every fucking chapter. Most people didnt even bat an eye about the sentence he referenced. Fucking let it go
Great chapter! Thanks for the translation!
Roswall plus Ram plus Frederica means RIP for Alcanica.
Why did Rem’s appearence affect Al only now when her memories returned they affected Emillia who was not close to her?
Could be because Rem and Emilia lived together for several months, while Al only knows Rem through secondary means.
He didn’t even know that Rem was the one with blue hair in arc 3, so it’s all the more likely that his knowledge of her is indirect.
No, Emilia was affected the moment she saw Rem just like everyone else.
Al was affected the moment the memories returned it just wasn’t as strong as Emilia as he doesn’t have as much of a connection to her, and Emilia was hit by the same memory stun Al was in this chapter a few chapters ago
Absolute cinema
Dude, you’re talking about the guy that called his broken finger a ‘fond memory’ in arc 7, the same guy who forgave Rem at the end of arc 2.
You’re getting irrationally angry over this,
that called his broken finger a ‘fond memory’ in arc 7, the same guy who forgave Rem at the end of arc 2.
Because subaru is an unrealistic, poorly written masochist. No normal person would consider their loved ones breaking their fingers a fond memory. He might as well say julius beating the shit out of him a fond memory, or ANY character that has ever harmed him a fond memory.
thanks for the translation.
Rom + Roswaal? HahahahahHaahahhhahahahahahahga
Doomed. No one in the whole re zero series would be gappy to fight those 2…. Vincent would cringe
Not just that, but the way he brings up the royal selection incident for NO REASON!
Why is Subaru’s group so murderous? I know that most of them are murderers but come on. Al purposefully didn’t kill anybody, and they are constantly trying to kill him.
Because they’re crazy
They’re allergic to the idea of not being able to kill people. It’s either they live or due. There’s no in-between since every character can slaughter someone like it’s easy as brushing their teeth
why wouldn’t they ? Al has done multiple things that could lead to the end of the country and the world. why wouldn’t they kill him …
They killed him BEFORE he did all that. Besides, you don’t to solve EVERY problem by killing EVERY enemy
I’m sick of the author’s favorite character Petra. Pls erase her with gluttony forever.
Petra isnt teppeis favorite character. Emilia is
There’s a good chance that roy might erase her memories of subaru’s deaths
…Satella
What do you mean?
Why are comments deleted regarding rem? Didn’t someone say rem was worse than petra, yet it got deleted.
No Petor slander is allowed!
She’s not even that bad in this arc. I just wish that she did more. She probably will in the future.
Easily the funniest chapter title
So, technically, Clind contorts space, not teleports, right?
So every single person and objects they hold moves a distance, it just happens in instant.
My point being, Yae got transported with Al, while holding the strings connected to Felt’s head 😀
Chop chop
plot armor ftw
Yup, with no RBD around for Subaru’s team, there has been a lot of plot armor.
What have you got cookin Up Petra/Subaru
She did the THING as well!
Here comes rem: the greatest priscilla glaze in all the world!
