"Oh, I really have been summoned to another world."
I take a deep breath, I may look calm on the outside, but the truth is that inside I'm freaking out, though to be honest I still don't know whether I'm panicking out of fear, happiness or some combination of the two.
The so called [Original] me was definitely more happy than scared, the weird deity thingy was not lying and had actually 'isekaied' me with a bunch of amazing powers (and also the opportunity to get some half-elf ass).
The part of me that was [Subaru Natsuki] also happened to be equally excited, this was finally his chance to escape the oppressive grasp of japanese society and the expectations of his loving parents (and he also wanted to get some half-elf ass).
The part of me that was [Orsted The Dragon God] was more on the scared side, it had been a long time since he had felt so weak, no longer could he feel a master at combat, now he was just a shadow of his former self, and while he was happy with no longer dealing with his curses he was also frustrated that he was not the dominant personality, he was nothing but memories after all, more of a training guide than an actual person.
Nonetheless these thoughts would soon end and the entities known as [Original, [Subaru Natsuki] and [Orsted The Dragon God] would become one, here in the middle of a random street in the capital of Lugnica we would become a new being.
Three were now one, and due to a lack of a true name I have decided to call myself [Subaru Natsuki] for the moment, mostly because I was scared of the [Witch Of Envy] being weirded out that her beloved had suddenly changed his name.
In the middle of my existential crisis someone bumps on me, someone furry, a demi-human.
"Move out of the way, weirdo."
"Oh Sorry." That's right I was in the middle of the street standing still looking at nothing for a few minutes.
If Satella was watching me she probably thought I had sustained brain damage from the teleportation.
Well after apologizing I moved out of the way and entered an alleyway, I don't wanna bother anyone while planning my next move.
Now what should I do?
To be honest I wanted to find and befriend Emilia, if we looked at the situation both the [Original] and [Subaru Natsuki] wanted to 'befriend' her.
Fuck her, they wanted to fuck her.
But... "Elsa is a problem." That's right, currently the half-elf should be pursuing her stolen insignia, that should bring a easy opportunity of helping her and getting into her good graces, but I'm not confident I can take the Bowel Hunter on, even with Emilia helping me.
Currently all of Orsted's skills were massively nerfed, and even if I went big dragon mode that might make me just a bigger target.
Puck, Emilia's spirit daddy was also a problem, while I am fairly certain that his abilities can only read the surface thoughts of my mind that's still pretty scary, if he got a whiff of what I planned to do to his baby girl I would find myself facing a very angry [Beast Of The End].
"Actually he won't be able do read me, he still might find me suspicious however." The [Orsted The Dragon God] part of me said.
One of few remaining members of the dragon tribe had faced thousands of different opponents and had long ago learned how to control his thoughts against mind readers, and for a mind reader like puck who could only scavenge the surface of my mind making him not being able to hear anything should be easy, even I being as nerfed as I am could do that.
Of course, he would still be suspicious that he was just getting a 'blank' result, but that was better than him hearing that I want to mindrape his daughter.
Thank you Orsted the Ex-Machina and your countless battle tricks.
And the the last problem was of course..
Reinhard Van Fucking Astrea.
He was currently a massive sword of Damocles, at any time he could just choose to end my existence, even if I had all of Orsted's power and skill I wasn't sure if I could beat him, and he could also read minds, because of course he could, he could do anything he wanted, even after I got 'sponsored' by a weird eldritch company I was still afraid of him.
Thankfully he should not have that [Divine Protection Of Empathy] yet, he got that in Priestella after seeing Liliana, but [Od Laguna] could decide to grant it to him as soon as we meet just to fuck with me.
Of course all of these problems disappeared if I had [Return By Death, but I wasn't sure of that yet, and even if I did have it I was scared of meeting Satella and the Witch in the [Shadow Garden, after all if she decided that I was less Subaru and more body stealer it was game over for me.
I could also just let Emilia die and go on my way, but fuck that, I am getting half-elf ass or I am going to die trying.
Well at least tracking them wasn't going to be a problem thank you com-
"Hey, hey, hey pal..." Ah! A sudden encounter!
Wait. Wait. I just entered an alleyway didn't? Could they be? If they are, than thank you my Subaru habit of entering alleyways.
Finally taking a look at them I see... "Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest!" Yep, the three stooges of Re: Zero, the robbers who would join the Felt camp and had also killed Subaru that one time.
Still, apparently they took insult with my comment since the tall lanky one got into a fighting position. "You insulting us?! We couldn't even threaten you before you insulted us!" Ah, I guess they hadn't even asked for my valuables yet.
"Sorry that wasn't an insult, I was just excited since I'm meeting a bunch of celebrities."
I noticed that the tall one and the small one are beginning to corner me, but the lanky one responded. "Whatever weirdo, just give us everything you own and maybe we will let you go without a beating." His hand went for his waist, probably readying the knives I knew he had hidden there.
In the original canon Subaru once he had aimed at the armed one had taken them down easily, they were just fodder.
I am Subaru, I also am a (very weakened) dragon god, and most importantly of all...
"Don't mess with a Brazilian who went to public school you goddamn Thug A!" I knock him down with a punch, and before the rest can react I turn around surprisingly gracefully for a japanese neet and kick the tall fat one on the nuts.
He of course goes down.
I then kick lanky while he's down to ensure he stays down, and when I turn to the small one he starts trembling. "Holy Shit! You took them down that easily!" Sorry Thug C, but you were about to steal my non-existent money.
And just as I was about to finish celebrity-san over here a blur passes through us, running over the walls, but before it leaves it turns arounds and looks at Thug C. "Yikes, hang in there bro, live strong." Ah! Felt! She's even cuter than I expected.
And then she leaves.
Hang on, why is she saying that to Thug C?! Aren't things a bit wrong?!
Oh right, he was the one cowering in fear after I beat up his friends, oof Thug C, hang in there and live strong indeed.
"Hey, please let us go! We're sorry!" Says the man in question, now if were going to continue going by our traded places I should just beat him up harder, but...
I was not a vengeful type of person, so while [Subaru Natsuki] wanted to beat him down due to his overwhelming [Pride, the [Original] was content with letting things go.
[Orsted The Dragon God] had nothing to say, not that he was dominant enough to matter in my [Being] anyways.
As Thug C kowtowed like I was a xianxia protagonist I heard steps coming my way. "Stop right there, Villain!" It's time.
I immediately cut my surface thoughts off using Orsted's mental discipline, it's hard, but doable, I take a look at her.
She's main heroine material all right, best girl found, Rem believers could go die (I am still gonna bang Rem of course).
Still I put my hands up. "Okay, I stopped, though I am not the villain here." Or maybe I was considering I was a dimension traveling mindrapist.
Nitpicks really.
Now pointing her hands at me and gathering mana Emilia says. "Give back what you stole and I'll let you go."
"Sorry, but I haven't stolen anything, in fact I was the one being robbed, also did I mention you're cute?" Ops, my Subaru slipped up a little at the end.
"You haven't? Also c-cute?" She says blushing.
Nice, results get, thank you [Alluring Whisper, though Emilia was so socially stunted that even without that she might have blushed.
She seriously thought kissing made babies.
A weird part of me found that hot, I was definitely making this Emilia Major Angel into Emilia Major Fallen Angel.
But continuing on. "Yeah, I haven't, in fact I was getting robbed just now..."
She looked at little guilty. "Well sorry..." And then recomposed herself. "But please, stop beating these men, they are already defeated!"
"I was already going to stop that, you arrived literally at the end." I sigh "Still aren't you believing me a little too fast? I know I look sus." Not that she knew what sus means.
"He's right Lia, this guy screams suspicious." And cat father enters the conversation... Wait he managed to understand my Subarism?! Amazing, I already liked him.
Still gonna fuck his daughter tho.
"W-wait so you did steal it?!" Oh we broke her.
"Nope, still an innocent guy, but a mean looking one." Thankfully I knew by canon that she liked my mean looks.
Still, cat carried on the conversation. "Enough about you running circles over Lia, we got a few questions to ask." He flies closer to me, his eyes staring at mine. "If that's okay of course?"
I bow. "Of course mighty spirit, please don't curse my family."
He flies back to Emilia giggling. "Don't worry I won't do that... As long as you stop perving on my daughter of course..." Oh he looks mad, but how?! I was hiding my thoughts... Right, but not my eyes, I'm pretty sure my gaze was focused on Emilia's boobs from the moment she appeared.
Emilia and Puck now approach me, and the half-elf asks. "So... Did you see a blonde girl running by?" Felt had of course stolen her insignia.
"Yes, I think I already got the gist of the situation in fact." She looks at me with a curious looks. "That girl is called Felt, a serial thief, I know of her, and I also know where she's going... Probably."
She looks immensely relieved. "Then please tell me! She stole something rea~ly important." Ah, what an angelic voice... EMT.
"Don't worry about it... Actually how about I guide you there instead?" And now Puck was back to glaring at me.
Before Emilia can respond he interferes. "Why? No offense, but why not just tell us where she is?" Emilia nods at this.
The answer is simple. "Because I don't do things for free."
Emilia looks a bit saddened, but she also gives me a understanding look. "I got it, that makes sense, I will pay you of course, but how does guiding me there help you?"
I look her in the eyes and with [Alluring Whisper] I say. "Because I require two payments, the first is walking with a cute girl!" I then extend my hand towards her. "And the second is that cute girl's name of course."
She takes my hand giggling. "Oka~yy, that sounds a little bit cheap considering it's me, hah..."
I shake my head in denial. "Nope, you're ultra cute."
She blushes again. "Well then... I accept your offer... But I am... a half-elf." She's now looking down to the floor.
I give her a big smile. "Looks that way to me, still cute though." She crouches to the ground and hides faces with her hands.
Puck punches me of course. "Ah! I'm being killed by a mighty spirit." I jokingly say.
Puck responds. "Ah, I don't know if I like you or not... But thanks."
Emilia then gets up looks at me and says. "O-okay, we will take your offer..." She looks around. "And my name is Sat-" Her gaze goes to my face. "No, it's Emilia." She points at her dad. "And this is Puck, my contracted spirit."
I, of course do Subaru's iconic pose, with my butt raised high and my finger raised higher! "And I am Subaru Natsuki! Broke and new to this place, yet surprisingly knowledgeable, nice to meet you Emilia!" She seemingly goes through all stages of grief at my introduction.
Still this is the beginning of my great adventure full of great dangers and even more great girls, and as I turn around to leave the alley I see...
"Ah! Encounter one left." Thug C had taken his buddies and booked it while we talked.
Still with my phone I could track Rom and find Emilia's insignia, I still don't really know to deal with her, but we should arrive relatively soon and so Puck should have plenty of time to murderize Elsa.
"Okay then!" I pull my phone from my pockets, now instead of being Subaru's flip phone is a much more modern smartphone.
"Huh, what's that?" Says Emilia with curiosity.
"Huh, what's that?" Says Puck with suspicion.
I wave them off with one hand while trying to find my tracket app with the other. "Map metia thingy, don't worry about it." After messing with it for a few seconds I find it.
I take a quick look at the map, memorizing its contents before Puck and Emilia can look.
Thank you surprisingly good memory I've inherited from Orsted, I already know how to find the loothouse and I won't forget it any time soon.
I also know Elsa is around in the slums, and where Reinhard is.
Should I swallow my [Pride] and go find him first? No, I have no decent excuse for Emilia on why we should look for the [Sword Saint, So I will have to rely on Emilia, Puck, Rom and Felt to deal with this.
How prideful of me, but I prefer risking my life against Elsa over tossing the dice on whether Reinhard will cut me where I stand or not.
In the end it is what is, this is just the type of [Being] I am after all, [Orsted The Dragon God] was stubborn enough to loop thousands of times to kill Hitogami, and the [Original] was fully okay with joining the [Company]
The less said about [Subaru Natsuki] the better, he had [Lust, [Pride, [Wrath, [Sloth, [Greed] and [Gluttony] in spades after all.
"Okay, follow me Mili!" And so I begin leading Emilia to her possible death.
"M-mili?" Cute.
We walked towards our destination without stopping, I knew exactly where Rom was after all, and I wanted to have as much time with Puck out as possible, and so we reached the loothouse fairly quickly.
To be honest we probably got there faster than Felt considering she should be bribing people to not tell Mili her location right now.
"This is the place Mili." I pointed towards the loothouse.
"Okay, let's enter then." She knocks at the door.
"Wait Mili!" I wanted sometime to think of what to say to Rom, but I guess it's do or die.
Ignoring the fact that I had all the time in the world while we walked here, but I mostly wasted that time flirting with Emilia.
Soon a voice rings from inside. "Password?"
I respond before Emilia can say anything. "Felt got in trouble by stealing from a spirit arts user..." The door immediately opens and Rom's face greet us.
He looks worried takes a look at us and says. "Sorry, Felt did what?!" Oof, I knew her using spirits is a big deal, but it's still weird seeing a giant looking scared.
But Emilia responds. "And I'm that user."
Puck, of course immediately comes out of his crystal and continues it for Emilia. "And I'm the spirit." While Rom steps back and tenses his body Puck says. "I also happen to be the [Great Spirit Of Fire] by the way, attack us at your own peril." Spooky.
Rom's face becomes so pale I can almost mistake him for a ghost, he sighs, takes a deep breath and relaxes his body, it's clear to him that fighting is not a option. "So what do you want?" The giant asks with apprehension. "I-I, Look just don't hurt Felt and I'll do anything." Being the grandpa of a troublemaker must suck huh.
Well Rom was a troublemaker in his youth too with the whole civil war thing. "It's simple good man, just return what she stole." I try to make my voice sound calm and reasonable with [Alluring Whisper]. "We don't need to fight." Well, that's a lie, but the one we will be fighting is Elsa.
Emilia nodding in the background continues it for me. "Yes, that's right, there is no need for us to come to blows." You sound old Emilia.
Right, a hundred and something years old, I forgot about that, well I for one found her way of speaking cute.
Rom took a look at us and with sigh said. "Come in then..." hehehe, come.
We entered the shack, Puck still out and about and clearly ready for a confrontation if need be, while I am scared of the [Beast Of The End] it was still comforting to have him on my side when we face the bowel hunter.
Actually maybe she wouldn't even attack at all, maybe she would take one look at Puck and dip.
Yeah, that isn't happening, that woman had a battle fetish, Puck being here is just gonna make her hornier for our guts, but sorry Elsa the only person that's gonna rearrange Emilia's guts is me!
Once we were inside the shack Rom served us drinks, before we drank Emilia took a look at Puck who nodded seemingly confirming it was safe, and so we gulped it down.
Eww washed down milk, well whatever.
Rom now calmer began asking. "So, how exactly can I help?"
I put my milk down and responded. "It's pretty simple, Felt stole a important thing from her, and I know for a fact she's gonna come here to sell it, so instead we take it back and leave."
And also fight Elsa probably, but I'd doubt he believe me if told him that's who wanted to buy the insignia. "So just do your normal grandpa act while we hide and once Felt is here we pop up and take the thingy."
Rom nods. "Sure that's fine, as long as none of you hurt her." Foolish Rom, I would never hurt my future token loli, I ain't into gore.
The half-elf gave a big smile and said. "Yes! I'm glad this is all being solved so peacefully."
I nod. "Yeah me too, no need to pick unnecessary fights." Especially since I'm hoping that Rom will help against Elsa.
Well, we then went to a corner and hid waiting for Felt to arrive and while we were doing that I checked my phone. "The metia again? What does it do?" Asked Emilia sitting beside me on the floor.
I shook my head. "Sorry Mili, trade secret, actually even if you gave me a million dollars I wouldn't tell you..." Seriously, it would be dangerous for people to find out about it's functions.
And while Mili muttered confused about dollars I checked where Elsa and Felt were.
Felt was coming here, now seemingly uninterrupted, she most likely had already bribed enough people to get Emilia off her trails, jokes on her of course, we were already here.
And... So was Elsa, the Bowel Hunter who was waiting just outside the loothouse, prowling like a goddamned predator.
My body tenses up, she will probably attack soon, if she's been hearing us she will aim at Emilia first so I have to keep my eye on her.
I start getting combat ready so to speak, flowing my [Battle Aura] through my body, currently I couldn't do it instinctively so it was better to set up now so to speak.
I kinda wish I had a sword right now, while Orsted could fight unarmed he was stronger with a sword, still I hope my [Saint Dragon Battle Aura] will be enough, though it was of course severely nerfed.
In Mushoku Tensei fighters had ranks so to speak.
Beginner Ranked, Intermediate Ranked, Advanced Ranked, Saintly Ranked, Kingly Ranked, Imperial Ranked and Godly Ranked.
Orsted as the strongest being on the world was God-Ranked in every single thing of course, he had mastered every fighting style and every spell, if it was possible doing it then he could do so.
Basically a Rock Lee Reinhard, who had reached an absurd level to be called master of all things with sheer effort... And time, lots of time.
He was a threat to the entire world, as in he could blow the goddamned thing up, but that was [Orsted The Dragon God] at his peak and not the tier 4 template stacked Orsted, right now I was mostly beginner ranked at a bunch of stuff with a few intermediate ranked tricks.
So while normally Elsa Granhiert would be nothing against Orsted, right now she was a big threat.
Well, at least I knew her weakness was fire, and while Puck normally used the ice aspects of fire magic I'm sure he could also use the fire part of fire magic.
Oh, by the way in the Re:Zero world fire magic dealt with both fire and ice, it's... Complicated.
Nonetheless eventually someone knocks on the door, Rom goes to answer it. "Password?" The giant asks before opening.
The voice outside says. "Lay it one me." It's Felt.
"To the rats?"
"Poison, Harpoon, Shitbag! I ain't got the time old man Rom!" Why is she so scared?
Still Rom opens the door. "Yeah, you ain't got time alright." And closes it again after she enters it.
Felt looks around worried. "Old man? What's going on?"
Emilia and I don't immediately get up and announce our presence, it's better to wait for Rom to explain the situation, she might flee if we pop up from our hiding place right now.
"Felt, it's just that..." Rom awkwardly looks around and then scratches his head. "You stole from some powerfull people..."
Felt gasps and takes a step back. "You... You're selling me out?!"
Immediately Rom puts his hand up signifying that he isn't. "No, no, it's just that they are... Well... here, they got here before you." And so Emilia and I move out of our hiding place.
Felt looks at Emilia before me and gasps in shock. "Half-elf?! How did you find this place?!" She then looks at me, more specifically the mole on my face. "And the good looking scary bro from before?!" I appreciate the compliment, actually this might be the first time [Subaru Natsuki] was complimented by a girl that wasn't his mother.
Both the [Original] and [Orsted The Dragon God] felt a little pity at that moment. "Yeah, it's me blondie, sorry, but you're gonna have to return what you stole." Hopefully that didn't sound to menacing.
Felt looks at around and when she looks like she's about to try to run for it Rom picks her up. "Sorry Felt... But it's better to just face this up front..." He says and then let's her down.
Emilia gets closer to her, she tries giving the girl a smile. "Look we aren't here to apprehend you or anything of the sort..." Emilia sighs and then gazes at Felt's face. "But I rea~lly need what you stole, it's very important to me." Felt looks at the ground and takes a deep breath.
Felt puts her hand in the pocket and takes the insignia from it, she holds the insignia and gives it to Emilia.
It is notable that the insignia is glowing in her hands, but Emilia makes no comment of it, so neither will I.
Well Emilia probably didn't notice since she was looking at Felt's face, but to be honest Felt being removed from the election was convenient to me since I was going to support Emilia.
Then again, I did plan to fuck all candidates so did it really matter who won?
Lust IF here I go, and yes I will do Petra, hey I have no morals.
Emilia picks up her insignia, and while Felt is making a grim looking face at least Emilia looks happy.
And then my head is cut in half.
Huh?!
No, no it didn't, it's just my instincts telling me to move!
I duck, feeling every hair in my body standing up, I narrowly dodged a blow to the head. "Haaa!" Rom roars, he as the veteran of a war is quick to get into action and rushes at the shadow who just attacked me.
The shadow weaves out of his way like a snake, and with her other hand goes to cut his arm, but I have also got into fighting gear so to speak and quickly move to attack her as well.
She of course easily out maneuvers us and gets enough space to talk. "Oh my, oh my, I never killed a giant before..." It's Elsa of course.
Thankfully both me and Rom are unharmed, or at least I think so, Rom doesn't look like he's about to keel over and realize his stomach was cut seconds after the attack like an anime samurai at least.
Tsk, my heart feels like it's about to burst, both the [Original] and [Subaru Natsuki] had never faced death so up close, only [Orsted The Dragon God] had the fortitude to deal with something like this and his personality was the lesser of our collective [Being]
If it were to put into percentages then the [Original] would be 60%, [Subaru Natsuki] would be 30% and [Orsted The Dragon God] would be a measly 10%.
Still Rom moves quickly to behind the counter and grabs a massive club, Elsa doesn't move and simply waits contentedly. "Yes, arm yourself, it will make this more fun." At this point Emilia has already got into position and Puck has silently left the crystal while Felt has her hand on her knife.
Felt takes a look at her and her face twists in rage. "The fuck are you."
Elsa smiles, it's creepy as hell and I can't help, but notice her eyes haven't left the goddamned mole in my face ever since this fight started. "I am... The one who is supposed to buy that jewel." Felt looks shocked and steps back. "But, some people just can't do their jobs apparently."
Emilia steps forward, Puck menacingly and silently floating above. "You want to steal my insignia? Why?" Her voice is cold, probably the coldest I have heard of her so far.
"Because I got paid to do it, that's all." Elsa's eyes then move finally from my mole to Puck's body. "But I am glad you are all such interesting targets, a spirit." Her eyes move to Emilia. "And a half-devil."
Elsa's body tenses, she looks at Rom. "A giant, and..." She then looks back at me. "And something new... Something I haven't killed before, hey can you tell me the color of your guts?"
I give her a panicked smile. "Nope, sorry."
"Then I just have to see it for myself." I gulp down the saliva building in my mouth, I can't breathe.
Felt then speaks up. "Hey! Hey! You can just get the jewel and leave we don't care!" Emilia very much cares considering her expression get angrier, but Felt doesn't know that, and it's clear that she's terrified, there's just clearly something with Elsa, everyone can feel her murderous aura flooding the room.
Elsa sighs and put her hand to her chin making a mocking pose of contemplation. "Hum... No, to be honest I wanted to see the guts of the giant from the moment I got here and now I have so many more appealing targets, right now I wouldn't leave even if you paid me."
With that she rushes at me, for some reason I seem to be the priority target, but... Puck is here.
Is like there is a machine gun pointed at Elsa, hundred of ice shards flying at her, I can't keep up, But I also know I can't stand still, and more importantly I have to expose her weakness.
Elsa is a cursed doll, basically a vampire, that is to say she has regen, but her weakness is fire, if she isn't burned she will keep getting up, but if I do hit her with fire she can die.
I take advantage of that fact that she's focusing on puck and prepare to chant.
Orsted can do chantless magic of course, but not at my current level, if I wanted to hit her with something that did actual damage I had to chant. "Oh great being of fire, consume the forests, consume the life forces of all who stand here, intoxicate the world with flame! Fire Spray!" I point at Elsa and it's like my hand has become a flamethrower.
Fire Spray wasn't actually that dangerous, it was just a Intermediate level spell and a weak one at that, but it should technically be 'super effective' against Elsa's type.
She dodges the fire as well, though I can see that she panicked a little, still since she clearly focused on my fire magic Puck was able to hit her and she's sent flying back.
I dash to Emilia, I don't wanna be close to her after all. "Puck she definitely won't stay down that easily, she's the Bowel Hunter!" Puck makes a questioning face, but then nods and prepares more ice attacks.
Elsa of course gets up easily, throwing that stupid anti-magic coat that Roswaal had given her to the ground, I'm glad we got rid of that thing that easily, I had genuinely forgotten about it and it could have been a pain in the ass later in the fight.
She looks at me with murder in her eyes. "So you know me?" And in a flash she's in front of me. "Did I kill somebody you knew?" Oh, kids gloves are off?
And she while I try to hit her face she's cuts my stomach, I do try stepping back, but I'm not fast enough and I can feel her knife cutting through my [Battle Aura].
She laughs, it's a pleasant one.
Emilia screams. "Subaru!" And moves towards me, it's stupid she should have stayed behind with Puck, the killer in front of me moves to cut her down as well.
And then she gets kicked in the face by a hurricane.
Thank you Felt! "Die bitch!" The thief screams, but Elsa doesn't really seem to feel it, still before she can kill Felt she's yet again forced to begin dodging Puck's barrage.
Not that it matters to me, I fall to the ground, all I can feel is...
Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot.
I don't wanna die, I understood Subaru a little better now, because I really didn't want to die.
I don't want to die, please help me someone! I regret not calling Reinhard so if he could help then please!
I feel my vision blurring, I can only see white.
Cold, Cold, Cold, Cold.
I'm dying, my body is growing colder...
And then I feel heat again, I can see again.
An Angel.
Emilia is healing me. "EMT." I mutter through blood.
"Don't speak please!" Emilia screams panicking, right I should stay silent, still now that I can talk again.
Oh right... I gather mana again, this will be my final magic before I'm empty. "Let this divine power be as satisfying nourishment, giving one who has lost their strength the strength to rise again... Healing." Emilia is clearly looking confused at me, but the green glow now coming from my stomach clues her in.
With both my healing magic and Emilia's my wound closes, it looked pretty deep, and I'm sure I'm still messed up, but I think I should be out of the danger zone from now. "Thanks Mili..." I say out of breath.
Emilia nods and goes up to join the fight, I try getting up and it seems things are looking grim.
Due to Emilia healing me Puck's output had gone down, and while Rom managed to join the fight now that Puck wasn't destroying the entire area he was clearly inferior to that... thing.
Don't think about your stomach, don't think about dying, it's not the time.
I had to say it, I just need enough strength to say it! "Puck..." My voice is weak, but I see Puck's ear twitching and so I continue. "Try actually using fire, jackass." The ice stops momentarily.
And it's replace with fire, not like my little spray, but like there was an actual dragon fighting Elsa.
She immediately changes her expression from calm to panic and then she... Leaves.
She fucking runs, jumps through the window and leaves.
Fucking coward.
I feel lightheaded so I lay down again, I feel like people are blurs, but I think I can feel Emilia healing me again, maybe...
I almost died, due to my [Pride] my life was almost snuffed, just because I was too cowardly to seek Reinhard, not only that, but I didn't even know if I had [Return By Death]
Suddenly an idea pops in my head. "Hey Mili..." I whisper.
She looks at me worriedly while she heals me. "Yes?"
"I can... I can return by-"
Time freezes and I feel loved
A hand caresses my heart, it hurts, but another caresses my cheeck, it does so lovingly.
"Sorry I didn't quite hear it..." Says Emilia.
But I don't care, I'm just glad that I can afford to mess up.
Thanks Satella.
Now with relief I pass out.
Things changed surprisingly little didn't they [Subaru Natsuki]?
