1. ...to give up?
Copy !req
2. Is there no other way to save...
Copy !req
3. ...all, I suppose.
Copy !req
4. You can do as you like with him now.
Copy !req
5. I swear...
Copy !req
6. I'll save you.
Copy !req
7. Another unfamiliar ceiling...
Copy !req
8. Ow!
Copy !req
9. So they barely managed to save my life,
Copy !req
10. and these are the scars...
Copy !req
11. Emilia...
Copy !req
12. I guess now I owe her yet another debt.
Copy !req
13. I don't know about that.
Copy !req
14. This time, you produced results
equal to the effort you invested,
Copy !req
15. so I doubt Lia will think of it as a debt.
Copy !req
16. Puck...
Copy !req
17. Good morning, Subaru.
Copy !req
18. You say these are results equal to my effort,
but I don't remember anything
Copy !req
19. after I got nommed on by
those dogs in the forest.
Copy !req
20. "Nommed on"? That's a cute way to put it.
Copy !req
21. But it was actually...
Copy !req
22. Munch, gobble, snarf, chew,
chomp, snap, crunch!
Copy !req
23. More like that.
Copy !req
24. With all those sound effects,
I should definitely be dead now.
Copy !req
25. I think I'm five or six arms short for all that.
Copy !req
26. Yeah, well, the blue-haired maid
took the rest of the damage.
Copy !req
27. She was in awful shape.
Copy !req
28. Though she heals fast, thanks to
her demon transformation.
Copy !req
29. By the time she carried you
back to the village,
Copy !req
30. she had no visible injuries.
Copy !req
31. Don't scare me for no reason...
Copy !req
32. Anyway, so Rem went back to the village, then?
Copy !req
33. And what about the kids?
Copy !req
34. Was the curse removed?
Copy !req
35. No worries there.
Copy !req
36. Betty and I took care of it, so all's well!
Copy !req
37. Your judgment was right on the mark!
Copy !req
38. Clap, clap, clap.
Copy !req
39. Has Emilia been here all night?
Copy !req
40. Yeah.
Copy !req
41. She drained her resources,
Copy !req
42. right down to her od, to heal you,
Copy !req
43. so you should let her sleep.
Copy !req
44. Barusu, you're awake?
Copy !req
45. Ram...
Copy !req
46. Listen, uh... I mean, about Rem...
Copy !req
47. How shameful you are,
Copy !req
48. pestering others for food so soon
after being that badly injured.
Copy !req
49. Maybe some dog rubbed off
on you from the dog bites.
Copy !req
50. How the heck does dog rub off?
Copy !req
51. Eat this.
Copy !req
52. Huh?
Copy !req
53. Sofubozu!
Copy !req
54. Delicious, isn't it?
Copy !req
55. I thought I was gonna die!
Copy !req
56. But yes, it was good!
Copy !req
57. It's freshly made... I mean...
Copy !req
58. Freshly steamed.
Copy !req
59. Why do you look so proud of yourself?!
Copy !req
60. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
61. You can have another, so be quiet and eat it.
Copy !req
62. And, well... As for last night,
you have my honest thanks.
Copy !req
63. Nice work.
Copy !req
64. "Nice work"? Always with
the condescending tone...
Copy !req
65. Was it something deserving of your thanks?
Copy !req
66. When the people of a domain suffer
any loss, its lord is held liable.
Copy !req
67. If that pack of ulgarm had further
endangered those children...
Copy !req
68. You were right to do as you did.
Copy !req
69. Ulgarm?
Copy !req
70. That's what those black mabeasts are called?
Copy !req
71. Yes, but it's all right.
Copy !req
72. I reconnected the broken barrier,
Copy !req
73. so the village is safe.
Copy !req
74. I kept an eye on the barrier overnight
to ensure there were no problems,
Copy !req
75. so no ulgarm should be able to
cross it and enter the village.
Copy !req
76. So you can relax.
Copy !req
77. Beako...
Copy !req
78. Hey!
Copy !req
79. I heard you helped remove
the curse from the kids.
Copy !req
80. Thanks.
Copy !req
81. No big deal.
Copy !req
82. Betty only helped because
Bubby asked, I suppose.
Copy !req
83. I have something more important to discuss.
Copy !req
84. What did you bring me all
the way out here to say?
Copy !req
85. In less than half a day,
Copy !req
86. you will die, I suppose.
Copy !req
87. You don't look as disturbed as I expected.
Copy !req
88. I thought you'd scream and cry, I suppose.
Copy !req
89. The curse still isn't lifted, then?
Copy !req
90. When the pack of mabeasts
attacked you in the forest,
Copy !req
91. they planted another curse deep inside you.
Copy !req
92. Can I ask why this one can't be removed?
Copy !req
93. That's simple, I suppose.
Copy !req
94. Too many curses have been placed on you,
making it too complex to remove.
Copy !req
95. Too many curses?
Copy !req
96. When there's only one, removing it
is as simple as untying a knot.
Copy !req
97. But the curses on you are a complex
web of many threads,
Copy !req
98. too tangled to undo.
Copy !req
99. Well, I get the idea that it's
high on the difficulty scale.
Copy !req
100. But why half a day?
Copy !req
101. After half a day, mabeasts activate
their spells to replenish mana.
Copy !req
102. The curse those mabeasts used drains
a target's mana, I suppose.
Copy !req
103. In other words, they made you mabeast food.
Copy !req
104. So they attack people because they're hungry?
Copy !req
105. That's a wild animal for you.
So simple-minded!
Copy !req
106. I guess we should be thankful
they never got hungry before now.
Copy !req
107. You...
Copy !req
108. aren't even scared, I suppose?
Copy !req
109. I'm telling you how much time
you have left to live, you know.
Copy !req
110. Well, sure, I'm scared.
Copy !req
111. But I doubt you came here just
to tell me I'm going to die.
Copy !req
112. I don't think you're that mean.
Copy !req
113. What do you know about me, I suppose?
Copy !req
114. If nothing else, I feel like I've known you
four times longer than I really have.
Copy !req
115. You make no sense!
Copy !req
116. But it's a fact that the chance for you
to be saved is much lower now.
Copy !req
117. So tell me just how low it is.
Copy !req
118. We're talking about eating
by means of a spell.
Copy !req
119. If the one that's eating dies,
Copy !req
120. logic dictates the meal would
be canceled, I suppose.
Copy !req
121. So that's it...
Copy !req
122. I just have to kill the things that cursed me.
Copy !req
123. But there are too many of them.
Copy !req
124. That's why Bubby hasn't told
that silly girl about the curse.
Copy !req
125. Yeah, if Emilia knew, she'd definitely try
to do more than she's capable of...
Copy !req
126. Which makes me really happy,
Copy !req
127. but also really scared.
Copy !req
128. Man, the difficulty level here
is seriously demonic!
Copy !req
129. This is just plain impossible.
Copy !req
130. I might as well give up—
Copy !req
131. So you're going to give up?
Copy !req
132. Is there no other way to save him?
Copy !req
133. His head must be hurting, I suppose.
Copy !req
134. That's not surprising.
Copy !req
135. That's all, I suppose.
Copy !req
136. You can do as you like with him now.
Copy !req
137. I swear... I'll save you.
Copy !req
138. It can't be...
Copy !req
139. Where... is Rem?
Copy !req
140. Beako... Beatrice, where is Rem?!
Copy !req
141. What would you do in her position, I suppose?
Copy !req
142. I can't ignore what you just said.
Copy !req
143. Ram...
Copy !req
144. Beatrice-sama,
Copy !req
145. Rem didn't go to the forest alone, did she?
Copy !req
146. I... I have to do this alone.
Copy !req
147. No one else needs to get hurt anymore!
Copy !req
148. Why?
Copy !req
149. Why would Rem go to such lengths for me?
Copy !req
150. Hey, hold on!
Copy !req
151. Let go of me, Barusu!
Copy !req
152. I'm not calm enough to be kind right now!
Copy !req
153. If you want to save Rem,
Copy !req
154. and if you consider me an
ally at all, listen to me!
Copy !req
155. Do you know where Rem is?
Copy !req
156. If I use my clairvoyance, I will!
Copy !req
157. Clairvoyance?
Copy !req
158. It's a power that allows me to see
Copy !req
159. what the bugs and animals on
my wavelength are seeing.
Copy !req
160. So they're like your security cameras?
Copy !req
161. Well, if we can use it
to get to Rem, then fine.
Copy !req
162. So, are you the kind of maid that fights?
Copy !req
163. What does that even mean?
Copy !req
164. It means I'm going into the forest with you.
Copy !req
165. You're going to follow me?
Copy !req
166. Yeah. I'm bound to slow you
down in a fight, you know.
Copy !req
167. If you expect me to be able to fight like
Rem does in her demon form, I can't.
Copy !req
168. You're twins, right?
Copy !req
169. If Rem is a demon, aren't you a demon, too?
Copy !req
170. Unlike Rem, I'm hornless.
Copy !req
171. I can only use a rather extreme
bit of wind magic.
Copy !req
172. Going to retrieve the younger sister
Copy !req
173. would mean giving up on your own life.
Copy !req
174. You do understand that, I suppose?
Copy !req
175. That's not quite right. Let me correct you.
Copy !req
176. It's dumb to get into the habit of
giving up because you're used to dying.
Copy !req
177. Life is precious! You only get one!
Copy !req
178. I realized that when you guys went
through so much to save mine.
Copy !req
179. So if you don't mind, I'm going
to struggle pathetically.
Copy !req
180. Let's go make a comeback!
Copy !req
181. I've bounced back from the
terrible state I was in.
Copy !req
182. I'm a greedy guy,
Copy !req
183. and I want to see the continuation
of this story, with me in it!
Copy !req
184. Now, let's get moving to
our last big showdown!
Copy !req
185. Bring it on, Fate-sama!
Copy !req
186. You gave a pretty heroic speech back there,
Copy !req
187. but when I see you so close to
becoming nothing but baggage,
Copy !req
188. it's difficult to hide my disappointment.
Copy !req
189. I'm still recovering, so my energy
is spent, and I'm low on blood...
Copy !req
190. Oh, and I didn't get to hear
Emilia-tan say, "See you soon."
Copy !req
191. Until you say, "I'm home," last night's
"See you soon" is still in effect.
Copy !req
192. I-Is that how it works?
Copy !req
193. Besides, didn't you get something from
someone other than Emilia-sama?
Copy !req
194. Yeah, something really awesome.
Copy !req
195. Take this.
Copy !req
196. It's the sharpest sword in the village.
Copy !req
197. Thanks, man.
Copy !req
198. We're counting on you.
Copy !req
199. Subaru!
Copy !req
200. Subaru!
Copy !req
201. Hey, you guys! You're awake?
Copy !req
202. Where are you going?
Copy !req
203. Back into the forest?
Copy !req
204. Don't go back there, Subaru!
Copy !req
205. I'll be fine. Don't worry.
Copy !req
206. I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
207. What's the sword for?
Copy !req
208. This?
Copy !req
209. It's a thank you gift from all of us.
Copy !req
210. I wanna thank you, too!
Copy !req
211. Hey!
Copy !req
212. You can have this!
Copy !req
213. And this!
Copy !req
214. Candy, a pretty stone...
Copy !req
215. And...
Copy !req
216. There was a freaking bug in it!
Copy !req
217. Damn brats, sneaking that
in while I was distracted!
Copy !req
218. I'll give them a talking-to later!
Copy !req
219. It's just proof that they admire you.
Copy !req
220. I wonder what they see in a man like you...
Copy !req
221. In the pure eyes of a child,
Copy !req
222. my true, manly nature shines.
Copy !req
223. Also, I'm not the only one they like.
Copy !req
224. You could tell, right?
Copy !req
225. Yes...
Copy !req
226. Take this, too!
Copy !req
227. Hey! Why did you put dirt in there?
Copy !req
228. Just accept it!
Copy !req
229. Ram-chi!
Copy !req
230. We want to thank Rem-rin,
too, so bring her over later!
Copy !req
231. Promise, Ram-chi!
Copy !req
232. Barusu, I'm going to use my clairvoyance.
Copy !req
233. Wait a moment.
Copy !req
234. Barusu, something is watching us right now.
Copy !req
235. What?
Copy !req
236. Up there.
Copy !req
237. Where?
Copy !req
238. More are coming.
Copy !req
239. Hey! D-Don't just walk off!
Copy !req
240. Anyway, why does every individual lose their head when they see you?
Copy !req
241. I don't understand.
Copy !req
242. Because you seem so weak?
Copy !req
243. After all that hesitation,
that's your conclusion?
Copy !req
244. How rude!
Copy !req
245. Because you seem like a wimp, then?
Copy !req
246. That doesn't change the root of
what you're saying, Onee-sama!
Copy !req
247. Hey, can I ask what that "hornless"
thing you mentioned means?
Copy !req
248. Nothing special.
Copy !req
249. Just as it sounds,
Copy !req
250. it's another name for a foolish
demon that lost its horn.
Copy !req
251. I got into a bit of trouble
and lost my only horn.
Copy !req
252. I've relied on Rem for everything ever since.
Copy !req
253. I guess I shouldn't have asked, huh?
Copy !req
254. Why?
Copy !req
255. Well, I don't know how important horns
are to the race you call "demons,"
Copy !req
256. but I assume it's a pretty serious problem.
Copy !req
257. I just thought asking about it
might have been insensitive.
Copy !req
258. Back then was one thing, but now,
things have calmed down.
Copy !req
259. There are things I've gained, and
lives I've saved, by losing my horn.
Copy !req
260. I'm sure Rem doesn't feel
the same way, though.
Copy !req
261. Huh?
Copy !req
262. Originally, members of the
demon race had two horns,
Copy !req
263. but twins are born with just one horn each.
Copy !req
264. So twins are detested,
Copy !req
265. and it's customary to dispose of
them immediately after birth.
Copy !req
266. But Rem and I were allowed to live.
Copy !req
267. A demon's horns awaken its demon instincts
Copy !req
268. and allow it to devour mana,
heightening its combat ability.
Copy !req
269. But if one is reckless,
Copy !req
270. the recoil will leave them battered.
Copy !req
271. I don't want to see Rem like that.
Copy !req
272. Are you worried because you care for Rem?
Copy !req
273. Of course I am.
Copy !req
274. It's true that she is stronger than I am,
Copy !req
275. but that's no reason not to worry about her.
Copy !req
276. No matter what we're told to do,
she does it far better.
Copy !req
277. But I am her older sister.
Copy !req
278. I won't waver from that position.
Copy !req
279. Okay, I get it.
Copy !req
280. I've got an idea.
Copy !req
281. So don't worry.
Copy !req
282. We'll bring Rem back safe!
Copy !req
283. If my idea is right, they're sure to come.
Copy !req
284. They'll be drawn here by my attempt
to tell her about Return by Death.
Copy !req
285. Ram, the thing is, I can Retur—
Copy !req
286. What's that?
Copy !req
287. I made a wager that brought
a bit of pain with it.
Copy !req
288. What did you do, Barusu?
Copy !req
289. The wind is erratic, and I
smell beasts approaching!
Copy !req
290. A lot of them!
Copy !req
291. And we haven't found Rem yet!
Copy !req
292. Well, don't worry.
Copy !req
293. I'm pretty sure we'll cross paths soon.
Copy !req
294. What makes you so sure?
Copy !req
295. Because of the witch's scent!
Copy !req
296. Rem's goal is to hunt down
all the mabeasts, right?
Copy !req
297. The mabeasts will be drawn
to the witch's scent
Copy !req
298. and come right to me.
Copy !req
299. Then Rem will have no choice
but to follow them toward me.
Copy !req
300. I call it "Operation:
Natsuki Subaru Is the Bait"!
Copy !req
301. Okay, I'm gonna have to rely on you
to do the fighting, so go for it!
Copy !req
302. When this is over, take an objective
look at what you just said
Copy !req
303. until you wish you were dead!
Copy !req
304. This is what I get for believing you
when you said you could fight!
Copy !req
305. Well, I was fighting, wasn't I?
Copy !req
306. My strength just didn't hold out
as long as I thought it would.
Copy !req
307. Damn it!
Copy !req
308. Crap!
Copy !req
309. D-Damn it all!
Copy !req
310. We were almost dead meat...
Copy !req
311. If we fall, we'll both be in trouble.
Copy !req
312. Barusu, can you climb up?
Copy !req
313. I'd like to make it up by sheer willpower,
Copy !req
314. but the mabeasts waiting
up there are a problem—
Copy !req
315. The sharpest sword!
Copy !req
316. El Fula!
Copy !req
317. That was close...
Copy !req
318. Seriously, Ram-sama had timing like Buddha...
Copy !req
319. Huh? Hey, Ram...
Copy !req
320. H-Hey!
Copy !req
321. Damn it... You can't be serious!
Copy !req
322. Shit, this timing couldn't be worse...
Copy !req
323. Rem!
Copy !req
324. Thank goodness you're alive! We're saved!
Copy !req
325. Damn it.
Copy !req
326. She can turn into a demon,
but she can't control it?!
Copy !req
327. Hey, Rem! My name is Natsuki Subaru!
Copy !req
328. A completely useless trainee in odd jobs!
Copy !req
329. The Roswaal mansion's most promising servant!
Copy !req
330. I've always caused trouble for you and Ram,
Copy !req
331. but we've been friends at times,
Copy !req
332. and we've fought at times—
Copy !req
333. Trying to beat me to death while
I'm still talking is bad manners!
Copy !req
334. Now's my chance...
Copy !req
335. Damn, it's no use! I can't ignore her!
Copy !req
336. Take the plunge, Subaru!
Copy !req
337. Men are about guts,
and women are about beauty!
Copy !req
338. So...
Copy !req
339. Quit making that scary face,
and try to smile, Rem!
Copy !req
340. I can Return by—
Copy !req
341. Her horn...
Copy !req
342. You're awake?!
Copy !req
343. That should have been the perfect moment.
Copy !req
344. You've got good intuition, Onee-sama!
Copy !req
345. What about her horn?
Copy !req
346. It's the horn that's making Rem a demon.
Copy !req
347. One good, solid hit should
bring her back to normal.
Copy !req
348. You're sure?
Copy !req
349. I am. I think. I hope.
Copy !req
350. That's vague!
Copy !req
351. A hit to that one spot...
Copy !req
352. Doesn't that seem impossible?
Copy !req
353. Muster up all your wisdom and
courage, and do something.
Copy !req
354. I actually do have an idea for
something we could do,
Copy !req
355. but it'll make you mad.
Copy !req
356. If it'll bring my sister back to
her senses, I won't get mad.
Copy !req
357. Really?
Copy !req
358. Absolutely.
Copy !req
359. You swear to Ros-chi?
Copy !req
360. That's the most reckless name
you could have chosen.
Copy !req
361. Yes, I swear to Roswaal-sama.
Copy !req
362. All right!
Copy !req
363. Heave...
Copy !req
364. Ho!
Copy !req
365. I freaked out!
Copy !req
366. I didn't have the guts to take that last step!
Copy !req
367. If I let this chance go by,
there won't be any others!
Copy !req
368. Smile, Rem!
Copy !req
369. Today, I'm more demonically
inspired than a real demon!
Copy !req
370. Demonically Inspired Methods
Copy !req
