Chapter 316

There is only one problem facing you: an opponent you, as arrogant as you are, know perfectly well that you have no chance of winning even if you give it your all.

Ah, that's right, Reinhard.

It's him again.

The most powerful card in the arrogant bishop's hand is himself; his secondary card is the Elsa Granhiert.

But you are different.

You have an absolute 'trump card'.

'Blue Thunder' Celsis.

Beneath the ace are the many warriors you've subdued; above the ace is the invincible Reinhard.

But it's okay, it's okay.

You will get what you want.

You are angry, and your anger will override everything else in that moment.

So this time, you won't be arrogant.

Since he was not arrogant, he naturally did not selflessly pour all his good intentions into the people he loved.

-- Let's lure her away.

At the point of distortion and collapse, at the moment when he became the King of Purification.

You will storm Roswaal's Mansion with Blue Thunder and abduct the girl.

She will become yours.

Ah, every ten days, ten days.

You will meet her once, to see that girl who has not yet grown up, to see that girl who thinks no one needs her.

Then, completely at ease, showing her your vulnerability in a way that is entirely at odds with the 'Purification King' facade, and relying on her embrace with utter despair.

You two are both twisted.

Her emotions were inflated, yet she was so weak; what should have been a forced abduction and imprisonment was clearly her being a caged bird, subjected to unbearable humiliation.

But she will be distorted, developing the illusion that you are interdependent, the idea that she, being needed, is also useful, distorted, distorted, becoming an 'Emilia' who is not 'Emilia'.

And you, you were twisted from the very beginning.

Yes, King Suqing, who knows everything about others, who has taken countless brave warriors under his command, and who seems to be untouchable by anyone.

What kind of distortion lies behind this?

It's obvious without even thinking that your subordinates have betrayed you countless times during your numerous Return by Death.

What do you mean no one betrayed you?

It's just that you've eliminated all possibilities of betrayal by starting over.

Therefore, everyone will betray you.

Apart from three people.

'Emilia', 'Beatrice', 'Ram'.

These three beings, who will never 'betray' you, are the only ones with 'color' in your distorted world.

However, your tyranny has provoked the kingdom's discontent, and now that an invincible enemy has finally come to punish the King of Reinhard.

The moment you seem to finally realize Emilia.

She betrayed your expectations; she became someone who was not Emilia.

Her color has faded.

Rage turned into fear.

The most familiar stranger is rushing towards you, disguised as Emilia.

We must escape; we have no other choice but to escape.

But where else can they escape to?

There's only one answer left.

At the very beginning, at that distorted starting point.

There was an unexpected turn of events.

You are being hunted.

You are hated.

The witch's stench grew stronger and stronger, her scent becoming unbearably pungent.

Why are they hated?

Why is he so hated, even to the point of being hunted down?

... Of course, it's because someone died, and the responsibility will be so easily blamed on you.

Who told you to be the witch's darling?

Ah, yes, Rem is dead. The child who loved you so much, the sister of the Oni sisters, died in the curse of the monster turmoil.

Your anger stems from the fact that you haven't solved this problem.

So you are being hunted, hunted, hunted.

They chased Ram until the moment his magic was exhausted, until the hands gripped his throat, until he was suffocating as if he were drowning.

They were released.

She collapsed, powerless, leaving only her crimson eyes fixed on you, uttering a murderous declaration of utter hatred.

"--I will absolutely kill you."

You saved her.

Ironically, and perhaps no one knows why, you chose to save her when you were being hunted to this extent.

You don't know why her magic has run out, nor do you understand why she's fallen into this state of near death and barely surviving.

But you still chose to start collecting magic stones for her.

Oh, that's right. Essentially, the path of anger is the Ram path, which is absolutely impossible.

King Suqing was cruel.

But even cruelty has its reasons and its purposes.

And your goal is the magic stone.

Collect, collect, collect.

Then use it to sustain the life of that girl in the cage, a life unknown to anyone but hidden by you alone.

That's the past.

And now.

Now that Emilia has betrayed you, you've arrived at that cage and willingly unlocked those shackles.

Hands bearing clear signs of imprisonment then rested on your neck.

An angry person will surely die if they so desire it.

The stone chamber was very quiet.

From the moment we started looking down from the first IF line, Natsuki Subaru had remained very quiet.

Compared to the previous reprimands that went straight to the heart, the 'possibilities' written down now are even more... beyond imagination.

That's right, it's just imagination.

The past is past, and the different outcomes that have evolved at different turning points, and the future in the name of great sin.

Arrogant as he is.

He was furious.

The so-called "King of Purges"... even from the slightest wording, he could sense the insecurity within him.

Yes, everyone is reciting the King of Purge's cruelty and exclaiming, 'Is that guy Natsuki Subaru?' Only he himself knows the truth.

That was an extreme sense of insecurity.

Well, actually no one was really making any comments.

However, it was only he, as the person in question, who could so clearly and directly perceive it from the words.

King Suqing felt insecure.

Even with the possibility of returning to 'omniscience' through Return by Death, he still clung tightly to his last key, even willing to die at Ram's hands.

... It seems like this hasn't been mentioned before. Ram and Rem are two maid sisters from the Oni race. They were rescued by Roswaal, Emilia's supporter in the kingdom's election, and the younger sister, Rem, is in love with him.

As for the selection of a king, in the other world he lived in, the kingdom he was born into had no king, only a group of heirs, of Emilia was one, and her goal was to become king.

In short, this route...

Very valuable.

That's right, intelligence value is also value.

It broadened his horizons and expanded his understanding of how to use Return by Death seemed to be the proper way to use it.

Using it to gain people's trust is the best way to use Return by Death.

But, the Blue Thunder of Celsis?

I've remembered that name.

The name "King of Purification" sounds pretty cool. If Emilia ascends the throne and bestows upon herself the title of Prince, perhaps she should call herself King of Purification?

After the initial shock, emotion, and sighs, Natsuki Subaru's thoughts began to diverge and become chaotic.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the words, because although they were just brief texts, the information they revealed and the developments they presented were all possible.

The outcome that could be led to by using 'Natsuki Subaru' as the protagonist is one that he is perfectly aware of, and that it aligns perfectly with his own circumstances.

So, taking a deep breath, Natsuki Subaru turned the page again.

There are seven witches and seven great sins, so my ending might take a different turn.

Will there be seven types?

Arrogance, anger, and then...

It's laziness.

Diligence, laziness, oh oh oh oh oh Petelgeuse!

Okay, it has nothing to do with that Bishop of Sloth. It's called Sloth simply because the end of this route is too slothful.

Laziness leads to Return by Death, or even silent disappearance.

There are many possible reasons. Satella felt ashamed upon seeing your happiness. In reality, it hasn't disappeared; it just hasn't been triggered because she hasn't died.

In conclusion

You're in love.

You are loved.

You finally, finally, finally let go of that alluring white-haired half-elf, and chose the most peaceful option between the one you love and the one who loves you.

People who love themselves.

Elopement, abandoning everyone, living off a woman's money, a life with a few unexpected twists and turns, but ultimately ending peacefully.

Marriage, childbirth, and a happy death.

"..."

Natsuki Subaru blinked.

Hmm.

Why has the atmosphere suddenly changed so much?
