Natsuki Subaru was so excited he almost cried. He had risked his life to finally find the most important information.
"How can I break the curse? Please, you must tell me. To thank you, how about I bake you a cake in the kitchen? What kind of cake do you like? My cooking skills aren't very good, but..."
Before I could finish speaking, Betty poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"There's no way around it; once the curse is activated, death is inevitable."
Natsuki Subaru's smile froze instantly.
“But… before the curse was activated, it was just an ordinary spell, which I can easily erase with my abilities.”
Can you please stop breathing so heavily when you talk?
Chapter 656 (Main Text, Chapter 657) Dismembered into Eight Pieces
Subaru Natsuki immediately organized all the information he had received. In other words, there was likely a sorcerer hiding in this castle, casting a spell on me without my knowledge? No, no, no, I went to the village both times I died. Maybe the sorcerer was hiding in the village. But when I died last time, I clearly heard the sound of chains scraping against the ground. What was that?
Although he had obtained a few clues, the truth was still elusive. Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth. There was only one way now: he would pretend to leave the castle and then hide nearby to observe. If the assassin was after him, he would definitely come back for him. That way, he could see what the enemy looked like.
If the enemy is after Emilia, then you'll find a way to fight your way back and rescue her.
"Perfect! It's settled then." Natsuki Subaru was overjoyed, as if he had found a way to break the deadlock.
"So noisy!" Betty waved her hand and pushed Natsuki Subaru out of the forbidden book collection room, where he landed in the flower bed outside the window.
Yamabuki Hanajin was still peeling potatoes in the kitchen when Roswaal returned and met with Natsuki Subaru, asking him what reward he wanted.
In the previous two storylines, Subaru Natsuki chose to become a servant of this mansion, but this time it's different.
"Let me be a diner and eat and drink here for free!" Natsuki Subaru said with great enthusiasm.
"Sister, sister, this person is not only violent, but also shameless," Rem muttered to herself.
"Rem, Rem, don't be so loud. The guests will be very upset if they hear you." Ram deliberately let Subaru Natsuki hear her.
Natsuki Subaru was on the verge of tears. "I heard it all. Is that how these two beautiful girls see me? I'm so heartbroken."
"Wait, she's eating and drinking here for free, why aren't you criticizing her?" Natsuki Subaru asked, pointing at Yamabuki Hanajin.
Is this world really a world that judges people by their looks? Is she more popular than me just because she's a cute little girl?
“Yamabuki is cuter than you. She can use healing magic. Because of your recklessness this morning, Emilia was injured, and it was Yamabuki who healed her. Yamabuki can do all jobs well except cooking. Tell me, what do you have that can compare to Yamabuki?” Rem stared at Natsuki Subaru without any mercy.
"Rem, Rem, keep your voice down, the guest is about to cry." Ram deliberately kept her voice just loud enough for Subaru Natsuki to hear.
Roswaal stared sharply at Subaru Natsuki: "You injured Lady Emilia this morning? Why didn't I know about this?"
"Master, I think we should sever its limbs and imprison it in the dungeon, interrogating it until we get the answer," Rem said, her face expressionless, uttering the most vicious words.
"Agreed." Yamabuki Hanajin, of course, seized the opportunity to stir things up.
Natsuki Subaru looked at Emilia with trembling eyes. If Emilia didn't speak, he might be imprisoned in the dungeon for the rest of his life.
At the most crucial moment, Emilia spoke up: "What happened this morning was just a misunderstanding, there's no need to take it to heart."
“Since Lady Emilia has said so, then I will not pursue the matter further.” Roswaal looked at Subaru Natsuki with a smile.
Natsuki Subaru finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having his hands and feet cut off and being thrown into the dungeon.
Natsuki Subaru wandered around the castle in search of clues.
Ram uses her magic "Clairvoyance" to keep a close eye on Subaru Natsuki at all times.
The so-called "clairvoyance" allows the user to share vision with small animals. Rats hiding in the shadows, birds flying on rocks, or bats hanging upside down can all become the user's surveillance cameras.
"This man has been wandering around the castle, seemingly recording the terrain. If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before he brings the assassin over, which would be detrimental to Lady Emilia. If Lady Emilia encounters the Hunters, this man has been of no use whatsoever," Ram muttered to himself.
Rem, standing nearby, listened quietly.
Although Rem is better than her older sister in housework and fighting, her older sister is still her older sister, and Rem is always trying to catch up with her.
"There's a 99% chance that Subaru Natsuki is a spy. There's no need to keep observing him. Let's deal with him at some point," Rem said expressionlessly as she cleared away the dishes.
“However, we can’t do it in front of Lady Emilia and Yamabuki. Lady Emilia would definitely dislike such a bloody scene, and Yamabuki is still a child. Although we are demons, protecting children is also our responsibility,” Ram said calmly.
With a single gesture, Natsuki Subaru's fate was already sealed.
Natsuki Subaru, completely unaware that he was about to be treated as a pest, was still diligently searching for clues.
Unfortunately, he found nothing. As the afternoon approached, Natsuki Subaru knew that if he didn't hurry, his previous plans would be in vain.
"That's it. I want to say goodbye to everyone and go live in a nearby city," Natsuki Subaru said with a smile.
Emilia did not try to stop her.
“No matter what, we’re friends. You can come to me anytime if you have any difficulties,” Emilia said with a smile.
Indeed, Emilia is the gentlest person in the world.
Yamabuki Hanajin waved to him: "See you tomorrow."
"I absolutely never want to see you again!" Natsuki Subaru shouted.
Then, carrying his backpack, he happily set off.
“It’s a bit unexpected that he left like this.” Rem whispered to her sister, “If that’s the case, he’s probably not a spy. It’s just that he has the lingering scent of a witch on him, so he must be related to the witch cult.”
Ram gently held her sister's hand, using her clairvoyance to keep a close eye on Subaru Natsuki.
Suddenly, Ram's expression changed slightly.
Because Natsuki Subaru did not choose to leave, but instead came to a hillside not far away, which faced the castle and could take in everything on the castle.
"Sure enough, although they said they were leaving, they've actually been monitoring us. They're either spies or members of the Witch Cult. Whatever it is, kill them." Ram ran his hand across his neck twice.
"Yamabuki, I suddenly have some work I'd like to ask you to do." Ram suddenly turned to Yamabuki Hanajin with a smile: "These are the dishes we'll be using tonight. Could you wash them before dinner? I'm suddenly feeling a bit lazy. Please, I'll cook you something delicious when I get back."
As Ram spoke, she winked playfully.
“Hmm, leave it to me, but…” Yamabuki Hanajin looked in Natsuki Subaru’s direction.
I already said we'll see each other again tomorrow.
Chapter 657 (Main Text, Chapter 658) Natsuki Subaru: I'm not playing anymore, I want to go home.
Natsuki Subaru climbed up the hillside, panting. It was already dusk, and he leaned against a rock to rest.
"This angle is perfect! We can see Emilia's room right away. This time, I'm determined to find the real culprit." Natsuki Subaru clenched his fist tightly.
He even brought a weapon with him.
Just as he was intently staring at the room, suddenly, he heard the sound of chains scraping against the ground coming from the jungle behind him.
Natsuki Subaru was instantly horrified, goosebumps rising all over his body. That voice... it was exactly the same voice he heard on the night he was killed for the second time.
Could it be that the assassin's ultimate target wasn't Emilia, but me? I've only just arrived in this world; who could I have offended?
Before he could react, a meteor hammer the size of a human head flew out of the woods.
"boom!!!"
The meteor hammer slammed directly into a nearby rock, and the shattered stone cut Subaru Natsuki's cheek.
Then, Rem emerged from the woods carrying a flail.
Natsuki Subaru could hardly believe his eyes.
He had suspected many people, but he never suspected these two lovely maids.
"Wait, is there some misunderstanding between us? Did I do something to annoy you? Why are you trying to kill me? And... where are you hiding such a huge flail? Is it under your skirt?" Natsuki Subaru was asking questions.
Rem swung her flail wide and swung it directly at his face.
Natsuki Subaru was so frightened that he fled in a sorry state.
"What the hell? What's going on?" Natsuki Subaru was in a state of confusion. He had only run a few steps when an invisible wind blade flew from afar and severed both of his legs.
I'm going to write the word "misery" on the ground.
Natsuki Subaru was filled with despair at this moment.
I only ate two meals at your house, why are you treating me like this?
Rem slowly approached, dragging his broom: "Who do you work for? Why are you getting close to us? Why are you hiding here monitoring the castle?"
Natsuki Subaru was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Rem slowly raised her flail and smashed it hard into Subaru Natsuki's stomach.
"puff!"
A large amount of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs gushed out of his mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"I'll ask you one more time, who do you work for?" Rem's eyes flashed with alarming killing intent.
"Everything I did... was for... Emilia..."
The meteor hammer struck again, smashing Subaru Natsuki's left arm into a bloody pulp.
"What is your connection with the Witch Cult? Why do you have the lingering scent of a witch on you?" Rem asked again.
"What did you say... I don't understand at all..."
This time, the meteor hammer smashed his right arm into a bloody pulp.
"I didn't do anything! I did it all for everyone! Why am I being treated like this? This world is so unfair! We're all transmigrators, so why is Yamabuki Hanajin so popular while I have to suffer like this? I don't want to stay in this world anymore! I want to go home! Can you please let me go home?!" Natsuki Subaru screamed hysterically.
Just then, a wind blade flew from afar and severed his head.
Natsuki Subaru slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the familiar ceiling.
Subaru's perspective slowly shifted, and he saw Rem and Ram staring at him.
"Aaaaaaah!!! Help!!! I'm not playing anymore! Let me leave right now, what kind of place is this! It's not fun at all! I'm not playing anymore!" Natsuki Subaru completely lost his temper.
Two adorable little maids sat trembling beside them.
"Sister, sister, it seems like the guest has some mental problems."
"Rem, Rem, stay away from him, let me see what's going on." Just as Ram was about to walk over, Subaru Natsuki let out a scream that was not human.
"Don't come any closer! None of you come any closer! I don't trust anyone right now. Go away! Get out of here!" Natsuki Subaru huddled in the corner, clutching his head with both hands, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Just as the two maids were at a loss for what to do, Yamabuki Hanajin walked over.
"Hey, Xiao Cai, how was your day? It's nice to see you again." Yamabuki Hanajin greeted him happily.
Natsuki Subaru saw Yamabuki Hanajin as if she were a lifeline, and suddenly rushed over and grabbed her shoulders tightly.
"Yamabuki, aren't we from the same place? Can't you travel between different worlds? I beg you, please take me home, I don't want to play in this world anymore, take me home, I'll do anything you want!" Natsuki Subaru screamed in despair.
Yamabuki Hanajin looked at Natsuki Subaru with a hint of curiosity.
Why did Natsuki Subaru's emotions break down so quickly?
Logically speaking, Subaru Natsuki's mental strength is quite remarkable. He has survived so many deaths and rebirths in the original timeline and was still able to maintain his rationality. Why did he break down so quickly now?
After a moment's thought, Yamabuki Hanajin immediately found the answer.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
In the original story, Subaru Natsuki had to rely on himself and his love for Emilia to persevere through all the hardships.
But now his appearance creates a contrast for Subaru Natsuki.
We're all time travelers, after all.
Why should I live and die like this?
Why do you live such a comfortable life?
That makes absolutely no sense!
Yamabuki Hanajin and Natsuki Subaru are like two people who work part-time.
Subaru Natsuki does the hardest, most tiring, and most difficult work, earning a monthly salary of 1,800.
Yamabuki Hanakami spends his days indulging in pleasure and revelry, earning a monthly salary of 500,000.
This would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
The cruelty of this world shattered Subaru Natsuki's last illusions about the other world.
All he wants to do right now is escape from this awful place.
