You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

His loud roar was nothing but impotent rage.

This long-lost feeling of powerlessness and hatred reminded Natsuki Subaru of when he faced Elsa, the Bowel Hunter.

But back then he had Suoh Takeshi to help him, but now he's all alone.

Natsuki Subaru had never hated himself so much for being so weak, for being unable to do anything, or for being able to rely on others!

Am I... going to die?

Does this mean... I have to face that shit-hunting gut hunter again?

Or is it that I am no longer able to be resurrected, and this will be a true death?

Fear arose spontaneously.

Natsuki Subaru felt intense resentment and anger filled his mind.

He vowed that if there were a next time, he would become stronger!

I must become stronger!

With this unforgettable vow, Subaru Natsuki closed his eyes to face death.

But he did not die!

"Light of Saber!"

With a magical incantation, a dazzling light pierced the darkness behind his tightly closed eyes, and also pierced the gloom that shrouded his heart.

Natsuki Subaru survived the desperate situation!

He opened his eyes and saw a figure dressed in a white knight's outfit standing in front of him with his back to him.

"Hey kid, you don't look too good."

These familiar words and familiar figure moved Natsuki Subaru to tears.

Chapter 094 Growth

With a powerful and dazzling [Sword of Light], the large demonic hound was forced back, and then Suoh Takeru descended from the sky with great style.

This savior-like handsomeness was ultimately seen by only one man.

This made him a little depressed.

However, this was within his expectations.

Without turning around, he asked while keeping a watchful eye on the large demonic hound, "Natsuki-kun, are you alright?"

"Well, how should I put it, at least he's still alive."

Natsuki Subaru tried to stand up with difficulty.

But the moment he saw Suoh Takeshi appear, his body relaxed and he collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up.

"My internal organs were moved to a different location, and breathing became difficult. My brain started to feel dizzy and unclear due to lack of oxygen. If it weren't for Wu's timely rescue, I might have died."

As he described his physical condition, he said self-deprecatingly, "Sorry, I'm the one who's holding everyone back again."

"Hehe, yes."

Suoh kicked back the large demonic hound that was attacking him. "But it was also thanks to Natsuki-kun's desperate resistance that we were able to protect the unconscious Rem and Emilia until I arrived to rescue them, wasn't it?"

"Maybe."

"Remember this feeling of powerlessness, recognize your own weakness! And then, grow, Natsuki-kun!"

"Ah! I swear, I must become stronger!"

After shouting, Natsuki Subaru said to Suoh Takeshi, "But this time, I'm counting on you, Takeshi!"

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Suoh Takeru had already adjusted his breathing technique, and his magical power began to surge rapidly as he immediately activated the [Spot (Lightning)] state.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form: Thunder Flash!"

Suoh Takeru transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing out in an instant. The bright lightning flashed across Natsuki Subaru's vision, and in the blink of an eye, the head of the large demon hound had already left its body, and blood spurted from its neck.

Big devil dog, die!

"So strong, so incredibly strong..."

Without comparison, there is no harm.

After seeing Suoh Takeru so easily and effortlessly defeat the monster in an instant, Natsuki Subaru muttered to himself in a daze, while a strong sense of bitterness welled up deep in his heart.

He knew that this feeling was called jealousy.

We're all time travelers, so why are you so outstanding?

"call."

Suoh Takeshi exhaled softly and turned off the pattern mode.

Despite it being just a single strike, Suoh Takeshi used all his strength.

While it might seem like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, it was also necessary to ignite Subaru Natsuki's desire for greater strength and motivate him to work relentlessly towards that goal.

Using lightning-attribute breathing techniques, I felt that Subaru Natsuki was more suitable.

Walk over to Subaru Natsuki and use the [Heal] skill on him to heal his injuries.

He asked, "So, do you want to learn?"

He answered without hesitation, "Yes!"

"Then, when you get back, it'll be hellish training. Can you handle it?"

"I will definitely persevere!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Suoh Takeshi nodded in satisfaction.

“I am aware of your beliefs, but let’s put the swordsmanship instruction aside for now and get Rem and Emilia out of here first.”

"Oh right, Rem and Emilia!"

Upon hearing Suoh Takeshi's words, Natsuki Subaru struggled to his feet and staggered to the two women's side.

After discovering that the black mist around them had dissipated, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The curse has been lifted, and Rem and Emilia are safe and sound.

This is inevitable.

Suoh Takeru was afraid of something going wrong, so he specifically instructed Meili to only imprint one magical beast seal on each of the two women. Once the large magical hound died, the curse would naturally dissipate.

Afterwards, Suoh Takeshi treated the two women.

"cure!"

Although Rem and Emilia were unconscious, it was only because they were somewhat exhausted due to the curse.

A short while later, the two women opened their eyes again.

Emilia gently shook her groggy head, her brows furrowed slightly as she asked, "What happened to me? Where am I? What happened... Huh, what's Wu doing here?"

She quickly went through the events of the day in her mind, and then she saw Zhou Fangwu treating them.

Rem didn't speak, but silently recovered her strength. Although her expression was still indifferent, at least she didn't refuse Suoh Takeru's treatment.

"Oh, are you awake?"

After finishing his treatment, Suoh Takeshi asked, "Do you remember what happened before?"

"Hmm... roughly speaking. I remember a little girl went missing before, and Rem, Subaru, and I came to look for her. After we found her, we had Subaru take her away quickly..."

After a moment's thought, Emilia quickly asked Subaru, "By the way, Subaru, where's that little girl?"

Natsuki Subaru grinned and said, "Don't worry, I already took her out of the forest!"

"Well, then I'm relieved."

Emilia patted her chest, looking relieved.

"Alright, now that everyone's ready, let's get going."

While they were talking, Suoh Takeru was preparing a [Spatial Transfer] spell. He said to them, "The Monster Forest at night is far too dangerous, and none of you are able to move around. For your safety, I have prepared a transfer spell."

"Yes, thank you, Wu."

"Truly reliable!"

"……Thanks."

The three of them said different things, but they all had relaxed expressions on their faces.

"Then, let's go."

As they spoke, Suoh Takeshi's magic circle was completed, and the coordinates for the teleportation were in the courtyard of the Earl's mansion.

A deep purple light enveloped the group, propelling them into the sky, where they vanished into the monster forest in the blink of an eye.

When they reappeared, the group had already arrived at the Earl's mansion.

As the magic circle dissipated, the first thing that caught the eye was Ram, who had entered battle mode.

Magic was gathering in her hands, as if she were preparing to unleash a powerful attack on her enemy.

"Ram?"

Emilia looked at her and asked curiously, "Why do you look so serious?"

"Rem, Emilia-sama...?"

Just now, Lamu received a distress signal from the villagers and prepared to go to the rescue.

As she crossed the courtyard, she saw a beam of light descend from the sky. Thinking it was an enemy attack, she stopped to prepare to fight back.

But when the light faded, what was revealed inside was not an enemy, but the person she was about to go out to find.

"Rem, Emilia-sama, are you alright?!"
