Stop trying to put on a tough front

around your friends, Subaru Natsuki!

Your head is overloaded, not knowing what to do, right?

There are so many things that need your help.

But you don't have the power or the brain to solve it all!

So all you did was panic by yourself as time passed, am I right?

Did you hear me?

If you do then respond!

What the heck are you doing?

You let your emotions get the better of you,

and you can't even stand properly.

It illustrates your current condition perfectly.

Pathetic.

Is that so?

Did you see just how powerless you are?

I don't mind you trying to act cool in front of the girl you love.

I also don't mind you trying to act cool in front of the girl who likes you.

But still, that's it.

You know that it's not enough, right?

You know that you can't reach it, right?

You want to be cool in front of the girl you like,

and a person you can be proud of in front of the girl who likes you right?

If so, then why don't you ask for help from someone?

For example,

some help from a friend.

But I did.

I asked them for their help.

But it didn't work.

Still…

I don't remember you ever relying on me.

I mean…

My head is full of things I don't understand.

It's stuff people won't believe if I tell them.

So how am I supposed to explain it?

Just tell me. I'll listen until the end.

Well, but that--

Like I said! Stop putting up a front!

If you've got time to worry about it, then just let it all out!

Even if you say that, I--

Just tell me all of it! Then tell me to believe in it!

Because we're friends!

You might not believe me.

Roswaal!

Let's make a bet!

With each of our wishes on the line!

I didn't expect that you would talk to me again in this lifetime.

This will be our last fight.

I'll definitely save both the Sanctuary and the mansion this time around.

Going past everything you could possibly expect.

You're telling me you will get out of this "checkmate"?

Without using your Authority, your one and only power?

Being able to redo things and save things are different.

Both you and I depend on it too much.

My power is not something that convenient.

Implying this will be the last, what do you seek from me?

My demand is simple.

If I save both the Sanctuary and the mansion,

you must throw away your book and come with me!

We will get Emilia the throne.

We need your help to make that happen.

Nonsense!

That's such a ridiculous proposal. Are you saying you will forgive--

If I got to say whether I forgive you or not,

the answer would be "Never."

But my feelings have nothing to do with this.

Nothing crucial has happened yet.

If I solve it all, that is.

There's no way things will go that easily.

But I love that kind of story, you know.

Emilia will work really hard and get the throne.

I'll be by her side celebrating with her.

You should be there too, as one of many people congratulating her.

Just so you know, it's mandatory.

To accomplish your goal without sacrificing anything?

On top of that, you even tell me to join in and be the foundation for that?

Do you understand what it means, Subaru?

What is it?

The fact that it's the greediest answer you could ever make?

Your enemy is now your strongest ally.

Do you need anything else?

No matter how much you fight back, there's no escaping this situation.

The barrier won't break until Lady Emilia gets herself together.

The Sanctuary will be buried in snow and the mansion will drown in blood.

Yes, and I'll look forward to seeing your face when it doesn't.

I see.

As you said, it's not a bad idea to do something for the next me.

Can I take it as you're accepting my bet?

If that's settled, then I'll get right to it.

Subaru.

Both the Sanctuary snowfall and mansion assault would happen in three days.

May you have a good fight and lose a great time.

Say what you want.

Roswaal, your plain face gets me out of the mood,

so you better put on that clown face again.

As a fellow clown at the mercy of fate, let's do this fair and square.

So how did the evil schemes you had with your friend go?

How about you? Are you okay with Roswaal's action?

There's only one thing that I prioritize the most in my life.

And that will never change.

No matter what.

So you should stop expecting a change of heart from me.

Nothing lasts forever.

Watch your mouth.

Are you hoping for something from Lady Emilia?

Yes, I do, and I believe in her.

Lady Emilia is held back by something she's not aware of.

The same thing will happen if she doesn't know what it is.

Things already went differently from what's written.

Roswaal is free.

She went as far as giving me advice.

Is she falling for me?

-You're still saying that? -What?

If she hears that, she will yell at you.

In fact, Ram is working for the margrave, so she's practically our enemy.

Ram is an enemy?

I now understand just how much you believe in Ram.

So? How was the talk with the margrave?

We got our backs covered.

He accepted the bet!

Well, that's great.

Well, it does seem the margrave has never experienced defeat.

So I expect him to accept it.

If so, next is…

Garfiel, right?

Can I go and confirm something before that?

Understood.

I'll go and act according to our plan.

That aside, how about Lady Emilia?

I can't really ask for your help with this.

Not that I'll be much help, either.

I still haven't learned a single thing about her wound.

I might just be scared of it.

Indeed you are.

Don't act innocent in front of me, okay?

Hey there!

Well then, are you prepared to learn about Lady Emilia's wound?

To ask her if she's willing to tell me, that is.

Unlike with Garfiel, I don't have to worry about getting killed.

I'm not really sure whether I'm supposed to laugh at that.

But still, you sure take on a pretty bad bet.

You're right.

To get on a bet with no winning rate.

This is my first time.

I figured I could meet you here, Ryuzu.

I assume you've known quite a lot about me based on that statement.

Indeed, I've learned about most things.

As well as the objective of this place.

That means, the one Young Ros was waiting for was you--

Oh, sorry. We just dropped that plotline.

What?

I'm now in a big fight with Roswaal.

I want to make the best outcome for everyone.

That's why I want your help, too.

You could use your Authority as an Apostle to make me help you.

-I don't want to rely on that. -What?

I came here to talk with you.

Men sure love to act cool every single time.

And so, what are you guys fighting for?

To put it simply, the method to liberate the Sanctuary.

I am aware that you're against the idea of liberating the Sanctuary, but…

I'm against it, you say?

What? Could it be that you're not?

Really? That can't be! Then why, at that time, you…

But your guess wasn't that far off.

-What? -What do you think about Young Gar?

I believe I can't avoid fighting him.

I see.

But…

whether we can be friends after it's all over is a different matter.

What?

So that I can be sure of that,

I want to learn more about him.

I say you're quite skilled in fooling the elderly.

You heard about me from the witch, right?

About the copies of Ryuzu Meyer.

Or perhaps even the objective of it.

Like how it's for an experiment on immortality,

and that you girls were the result of it.

To this day, we watch and maintain this magic crystal that keeps producing copies.

We fill the role of manager for this place.

All four of us, in turn.

I've heard about the first four.

Then there are three more other than you.

My name is Subaru Natsuki.

Ryuzu, what's your name?

My name is Ryuzu Alma.

One of the first four copies.

Alma…

I am Ryuzu Bilma.

The first Ryuzu I met called herself Bilma.

So Ryuzu had no intention to keep it a secret from the beginning.

But why do you have to bother taking turns?

The bodies of us copies are not made of flesh.

It's made of artificial Od infused with mana.

Mana is consumed when we're doing something,

and each of us doesn't have enough to operate beyond one full day.

I see. So it's like spirits.

So that's why you do your duties in turns?

But are you fine with it?

You're such a good boy, Young Su.

However, Ryuzu Shima,

the missing one of us four,

is an exception.

Ryuzu Shima…

I will tell no one. I swear it on the name of Ryuzu Shima.

She caused quite the trouble around ten years ago.

Ever since, she's been stripped of her role as a manager

and is now hiding in the forest like the other copies.

Therefore, the role of manager is handled by the remaining three of us.

And what "trouble" was that?

She disobeyed the contract with the witch and entered the graveyard.

She did all that to take back Young Gar who didn't return after failing the trial.

I've never seen Shima since she was stripped of her duty.

However, it's not unthinkable

that Young Gar meets Shima who possessed memories we don't have.

A memory that other Ryuzus don't have?

It's the past that Young Gar saw during the trial in the graveyard.

Young Su, do you know anything about Young Gar's family?

Well, I heard that Frederica is his sister from a different father.

And Frederica got out of the Sanctuary ten years ago.

Why did you leave the Sanctuary?

Perhaps it's because I wanted to make something

for when the barrier is broken.

Something that becomes a chance for the villagers to go to the outside world.

Something like a place to go.

That's what she said.

Could it be that the past Garfiel saw was the one when Frederica left the Sanctuary?

No. I believe what he saw was

the time when his mother left them in this place.

That poor, stupid Garfiel fears the outside world.

So the reason he rejects the liberation of the Sanctuary…

It's caused by the negative emotion from when his mother abandoned him?

That boy refers to himself as Garfiel Tinsel.

It's his mother's family name.

I take it as him trying to make sure so that he won't forget it.

Be it because of anger or sadness…

I'm sure the only ones who know are him and Shima.

Emilia?

What?

Subaru?

What's wrong, Emilia? You will get your butt dirty.

Well, I don't feel like sleeping.

Sorry, I lied.

The truth is I just can't sleep.

Don't worry, I'll make sure to take proper rest before the night comes.

It's almost noon, and you plan to sleep until tonight?

Emilia, how truly slothful.

That somehow makes me upset.

Subaru, you meanie.

Thank you.

Emilia, can you tell me what you saw during the trial?

I won't say that it will definitely make you feel better.

But if you tell me, we can think about it together.

I'm not sure if I can be of any help.

But can you give me the right to fight the same enemy as you?

Subaru, you really believe in me.

I think the past that I saw

could be my memory before I fell asleep.

I've never told you about the time I was trapped in ice, have I?

Trapped in ice?

I was frozen in a forest before now.

Until the day Puck found me.

He said I was sleeping inside a block of ice for a very long time.

Since when?

I believe it was when I was six or seven.

Supposedly, I lived with my friends before I was frozen.

"Supposedly"?

I don't really remember anything before that.

What about your family?

I didn't have a family back in the forest.

But I had someone who was like a mother to me.

What?

But why?

Mother?

Calm down. Just take it slow.

So what happened to everyone else?

Just like me, they were frozen in the ice.

I was living with Puck in the forest,

waiting for the day everyone wakes up.

But that day never came.

That's why I left the forest.

To participate in the royal election.

What?

How does the forest relate to the royal election?

Roswaal promised me.

If you get the throne,

it should be possible for you to melt the ice in this forest.

Will you scorn me?

All the other candidates have a splendid goal

and resolution to participate in the royal election.

But my reason is very personal and selfish.

So that's what you mean by "selfish reason"?

Your goal to save those who you love is not a bad thing.

They might not be as many as others,

but it's still a great goal regardless.

Yes.

Thank you so much.

Emilia?

A memory that she can't remember.

The key to passing the trial is there.

Even if Emilia can't remember, I can ask those who know.

I'm sorry, Emilia.

Come on. You don't have to go that far.

Is that so?

Your love for her is pretty intense.

Leaving her alone with you is pretty scary.

Should I kill you?

Don't say it so lightly!

Also, Emilia is feeling down.

All because her family pet ran away.

It's not like I ran away. I'm in here all this time, after all.

But you did well calling me back. I'm thankful, Subaru.

Emilia!

Did you have a scary dream again?

Puck?

I'm glad! Where did you go off to? I was really worried about you.

Don't go off on your own again!

Puck?

Is my body a bit smaller than usual?

Looks like I'm reaching my limit much faster than I thought.

Well, I deliberately tried to break the contract, after all.

It can't be helped that my rank as a spirit dropped a bit as a result.

Break the contract?

-What are you saying? -I've been on your side all this time.

I just can't talk to you because of my personal reasons and yours.

However, from now on…

What?

What?

No, wait! Just wait a second!

This is bad, Puck!

The stone! Your proxy!

I'm sorry, Lia.

I wanted to give you a proper explanation, but I have no time.

It's really frustrating, but…

I'll leave you in the care of the person who cares about you like me.

What are you saying?

-There's just no one like that out there-- -Lia.

I'll revoke our contract.

I'm sorry for forcing this.

Once I'm gone, the seal on your memory will be gone.

I'm sure you will feel really sad because of it.

It might make you cry even more than now.

Emilia.

I love you very much.

No…

It's okay.

Lia.

I love you more than anyone else in this world.

Lady Emilia is unconscious?

Yes, a spirit user lost her spirit.

She went into panic, so the trial was put on hold.

How pathetic.

Don't say that.

She just lost her mental support. I feel for her.

That aside, Young Gar, I want to ask about Young Su.

That smelly guy?

Yes.

I've told you before, but I don't think he has anything to do with the witch.

Beats me.

The blabbering old hag should just sleep now.

Nighthawk Rudy regrets his short legs.

Emilia, are you okay?

Yes.

I'm sure I will get better tomorrow morning…

I hope.

Anyway, you shouldn't worry too much about it.

If there's anything I can do…

Well, it might not be much, but I will do anything.

Emilia?

Hold my hand.

Will you be with me until morning?

If you do,

I'm sure I…

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

But please…

If that's all you want, then of course.

I'll be with you until morning.

I believe in you.

Emilia!

I'm sorry, Emilia.

I'm so sorry.

We wanted to protect you, so we fed you with kind lies.

Please don't hate us.

Emilia.

I love you very much.

You lied, Mother Fortuna.

You lied, Puck.

You lied, Subaru.

-Lady Emilia! -Did you find her?

No good.

-Where are you? -What?

Lady Emilia!

Lady Emilia!

-Ram, what's with this commotion? -Garf.

Do you know where Lady Emilia went off to?

-What? -Lady Emilia disappeared.

We're currently searching all the places for her.

-What? -Lady Emilia!

I got it. I'll search the places I can think of.

Old hag, are you up?

Someone might come here looking for the princess, so you should--

Old hag!

Old hag!

I got a bad feeling about this.

Old hag, are you here?

She's not here either.

Could they be…

Is that you, old hag?

I'm sorry for not meeting your expectations.

-What? -My friend asked for my help.

Let me, a minor character, enter the stage.

-You bastard! -The truth is I just want to talk.

Talk?

Yes, along with Ryuzu…

I mean, Shima included.

With the two of you.

But well, what happened to Emilia is unexpected even for me.

Anyway, it's already beyond the point of no return.

As the organizer of the banquet is absent,

how about a stand-in?

We wanted to protect you. I'm so sorry. Please don't hate us. Emilia.

So we fed you with kind lies. I'm sorry.

I love you very much.

Finally, I found you.

Subaru…

Well then, let's talk.

Emilia.
