Re:Zero - Priest on the Edge of Eternal Death

The First Blood Spilled

Subaru, gently leaning towards the chair where Elsa sat, said with a smile, "Indeed, Elsa-san, you brought even more light to our room when you entered," he said, smiling. "With your long black hair adorned with a purple rose hairpin, and that pale white complexion of yours, you truly have a captivating appearance."

Elsa, blushing slightly at the compliment, but smiling graciously, responded, "You are very kind, Subaru-san," she said, with a gentle tone of gratitude in her voice. "You are also quite graceful and courteous."

Subaru, smiling in response to Elsa's gratitude, said, "Please, feel at ease. Remember that you are our guest while I offer you a drink," he said politely. Elsa's presence had brought a freshness and liveliness to the room, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.

Subaru courteously poured Elsa a drink and smiled, raising his glass in a salute to her. "I've heard a lot about your reputation," he said, acknowledging her. "However, I find it quite surprising that a refined and kind person like you would have a title like 'serial killer.'"

A hint of surprise crossed Elsa's face, but then she smiled and clinked her glass with Subaru's, saying, "So, you know me," she said, raising her glass and clinking it with Subaru's. "Still, you seem quite calm," she added, looking at Subaru with a slight admiration in her eyes.

Subaru smiled at Elsa's surprise and replied, "Being a serial killer is not as exaggerated as it sounds, my dear." Then, as he continued writing something on a piece of paper, he added, "Nevertheless, it's really nice to see you so cheerful while doing your job." Her cheerfulness and politeness had caught Subaru's attention, and he was intrigued by Elsa's unexpected qualities.

Elsa took a moment to think about Subaru's words and then chuckled as she responded, "Yes, perhaps it's a bit of an unusual combination." As she brought the glass to her lips, she added, "But just like everything else, I have many different facets," she added.

Subaru smiled at Elsa's sincere response and said, "Yes, indeed." "It's quite enjoyable for me to get to know an interesting character like you."

Elsa returned the smile and said, "Your character is quite interesting as well." "What do you know about me?" she asked, curious.

Subaru replied with a thoughtful expression, "I've heard and read many things." "But it's always better to get information directly from the source to know the truth."

Elsa continued with a smile, "I really love my job, Subaru-san." "I enjoy it because seeing the fear and desperation in people's eyes excites me. Watching their suffering gives me a kind of satisfaction and power." The brightness in her eyes showed that she took pleasure in what she was saying.

As Elsa's cheeks slightly blushed, she continued with a genuine sigh, "Especially gutting them, ahhh," she said, with an indescribable expression on her face. "It's an amazing feeling."

Subaru wrote something more on a piece of paper and handed it to Felt, but he never broke eye contact with Elsa. "You're quite an interesting lady," he said, looking at Elsa with admiration for her strange and intriguing personality. The wild passion and madness in her eyes intrigued him even more.

Elsa carefully looked into Subaru's eyes, biting her lip, and then said, "You're like me." It seemed as if she was trying to memorize every detail of Subaru's face. "There's madness in your eyes." With these words, she implied that she sensed something about Subaru's inner world. The crazed and determined look in his eyes showed that he had a dark and mysterious side.

Elsa, carefully looking into Subaru's eyes, shook her head slightly. "But," she said, "I've never seen a gaze like yours. There's a kind of... hunger in your eyes. But it's not just any hunger. It's deeper, darker, more... insatiable."

Subaru's expression didn't change, but he took her comment into account. "Everyone has a bit of a dark side," he said calmly. "Mine is no different. However, what matters is being able to control that darkness."

Elsa responded with a smile, "Yes, being able to control it is important." "But sometimes, releasing your dark side can be quite... fun." The sparkle in her eyes reflected her insatiable desire and pleasure.

Subaru placed his glass on the table and took a deep breath, locking eyes with Elsa. "And how do you plan to do that?" he asked, with a curious expression.

Elsa, in a calm tone, replied, "First, I'll kill you and spill your intestines on the floor," she said, with no hesitation in her voice. "Then I'll deal with that girl and the old man."

Subaru, in a mocking tone, asked, "Which girl and old man?" raising his eyebrows. "There's only you and me here."

Elsa looked around in astonishment, as there was no sign of Rom and Felt. "How..." She was puzzled because they should have left. Subaru handed her a paper, and it said, "This woman is a killer and wants to kill us. Go and find help immediately. I'll keep her under control for a while."

After reading the paper, Elsa said, with an angry smile on her face, "Clever," with a mix of anger and admiration in her voice. "You used Divine Blessing to blind my senses, didn't you?" There was a mix of anger and admiration in her voice.

Subaru shrugged and calmly said, "No, not Divine Blessing, just a little trick." Then he stood up, placing his right hand over his left palm and drawing a sword with his left hand. At the same time, Elsa drew two daggers, smiling with a sinister smile, saying, "You're loved by the world," smiling sadistically.

A tense silence filled the room, and then suddenly, the two enemies charged towards each other. Subaru made a swift move to try to strike Elsa, but Elsa dodged his attacks with dazzling speed. She wasn't just a killer, but also a master fighter, each move carefully planned and executed with precision.

Elsa, on the other hand, had meticulously planned each of her strikes. With her quick and sharp movements, she nullified Subaru's attacks and identified his vulnerable points. With each move, she countered his attacks with sadistic pleasure. She wasn't just fighting; she was also enjoying the thrill of the battle.

The conflict between the two intensified, filling the room with every breath taken, every clash of swords. Both sides were fast and determined, and the heat of the battle filled the room.
