Natsuki Subaru The Anti Knight

Chapter 15. Imprisonment and Rabbits

Subaru woke up in the tomb again as he checked his surroundings, just to make sure he was right about one thing.

"My checkpoint hasn't changed. That would make this the second or third time."

Subaru quickly comforted Emilia as she started whimpering. Once they both got out the tomb they had the same discussion as before. Once that was taken care of Subaru went outside and met up with Hikaru.

Subaru and Hikaru discussed about the events in the previous loop. The Eye of the Midnight Sun, Beatrice's gospel, and Elsa.

"So Beatrice has a gospel as well?"

"Yeah, though I've gotta make sure to ask Roswaal about it this time, since I couldn't last time."

There conversation was cut short when Otto approached the two.

"Natsuki-san, Hikaru-san."

"Oh, hey Otto."

"Are you two all right?"

"Huh? Yeah of course! We're just great! Perfect, in fact!"

"Hikaru and I were just about to go off and train. Did anything look off to you?""

"No, nothing looks off at all. You appear very calm."

"Right? So-"

"Even with Emilia-sama in her current state. So am I wrong to find your calmness concerning?"

"Oh no, you're not wrong at all Otto. To be honest, Subaru and I been thinking about how to help her...but we're stuck."

"And besides, this is Roswaal we're talking about. I can't let him keep dodging the subject this time."

When Subaru was about to go and find Roswaal, Garfiel walked up to them with a lamp and called out to them. "Yo, you got a sec?"

"Garfiel...?"

"You're not one to fall into patterns easily, huh?"

"What?"

"I mean, last time, you would've gone straight back if Hikaru and I hadn't stopped you."

"We got something important to do, y'know."

"Huh? You talkin' about your shady scheme with that bastard?"

"Huh? Shady scheme? We're not planning anything with the Clown Garfiel."

"Yeah don't call it shady. So, what'd you want? Is it about the Sanctuary?"

"What the hell else d'you think I'd wanna talk to you about?"

"Well, you might want some info on Ram. She prefers tall guys who wear clown makeup."

Hikaru had a deadpan face while looking at Subaru and just sweatdropped. "Yeah, no kidding."

"Cut it out! You're depressing me!"

"So on that note, we're gonna go chat about our love lives!"

"Natsuki-san...but!"

"C'mon, Otto. Save it for tomorrow, okay?"

"Subaru, you sure you wanna go alone?"

Though Hikaru knew Subaru could fend for himself, he still had a feeling that something wasn't right here.

"Yep! Don't worry Hikaru, make sure to tell Rem that I'll be late."

"All right, if you say so."

Hikaru and Otto both walked away from the duo as they went back towards the Inn where Emilia was staying at. Once the two were out of sight, Subaru and Garfiel went towards their destination.
