Viewing His Trials

Arc 1 Break Time

A/N: Spoilers for LN, Webnovel and Anime content ahead. Actually, this entire story is spoilers. If you aren't sure how far, I'd say that this spoiler warning extends up to Arc 6 of the Web Novel. This is far past the current end of the anime, for anime-only watchers. Now then, let us continue on, dear guests.

IMPORTANT: This is just a break chapter where characters discuss what they have already watched in greater detail. They will be significantly shorter than the reaction chapters, and there aren't going to be any episode reactions, only a reaction to the first opening. This chapter exists to represent breaks in the story, and allow for deeper character building.

Feel free to skip and wait for Episode 3 if you're only here for episode reactions.

Break Time: Arc 1 – A Small Relief, and the Opening

Once Emilia had stepped past the threshold of the double-doors leading out of the Theater, she was suddenly blinded by a bright light. It forced her to cover her eyes with her hands, blinking for a while as her vision slowly adjusted to what was in front of her.

A few seconds passed, and soon Emilia's sight had finally become acclimated to the suddenly bright scenery. She eased her hand down from in front of her vision, but realized that she was even more unprepared for what was in front of her.

It was a giant, mysterious circular area, which reminded her of a sort of some sort of large marketplace. Yet, it didn't look like a regular marketplace at all.

There were all of these little storefronts, with no names to differentiate them. They all shared one thing, however – they seemed to have delicious-looking foods sitting behind the counter of each and every shop.

Not to mention, all of the walls of the place looked entirely alien, made out of a material or made with a technique she'd never seen before. It reminded her of how some of the buildings in Subaru's world had looked like.

There was also an area with some comfortable looking seats and tables, set up as if they were accommodations in a restaurant.

And aside from those, there were two other miscellaneous looking places, though these had names in front of them, written in the native language of their world.

One read 'Library', and the next read as 'Arcade'. Emilia knew what the first one was, but had absolutely no idea what the second one actually meant.

"W-Wow...this place is reeeeeeeally mysterious..." She murmured, taking a few steps deeper into the area, her eyes widened in awe at just wherever they now were.

"Mysterious? Jus' mysterious?!" A certain feminine voice bearing a Kansai dialect cut through the air in outrage.

Of course, it was Anastasia Hoshin, who was looking at the half-elf with absolute disbelief at her simple words regarding their new scenery.

She quickly turned around to look at the architecture and shops around them, her blue-green eyes greedily taking in every single detail she could.

"No, this place 'ere is amazin'. It ain't like nothin' I've ever seen before. S'like we stepped into a 'nother world entirely!" Her words were filled with a barely contained excitement, as her brain was practically overloaded at the sheer potential this place had.

"Mum is right! All of it's really crazy! Crazy cool!"

"T-There's so much food, and it all smells and looks really delicious..."

"Wonder if we can just swipe whatever we want?"

The newly formed sisterhood of Mimi, Petra, and Felt, roamed around the place from shop to shop, all looking curiously at every single place with interest in the food that was hiding behind the counter.
