Subaru woke up early in the morning. He couldn't sleep properly. He spent all night thinking, planning again and again. He still couldn't relax.
 
( No matter how much I think about it, the result is the same. There is no other way. All right, I'll pretend I don't know anything and make sure everything's the same. I hope the kids don't get hurt. )
 
[ System: your wisdom increased by three points because you made a very sensible decision. ]
 
Subaru got dressed and went to the kitchen to start working. Rem was already in the kitchen. Subaru saluted rem, ignoring reports of bloodlust and surveillance from the system. After a while he came to the kitchen in RAM and the trio started working in the kitchen.
 
[System: fourth wall activated. Emotions have been disabled. Starting role playing ]
 
[System warning: you've used the active effect of the fourth wall too much. From now on, it's starting to cause permanent damage to your feelings. ]
 
( Doing.... after all, I've been using it for three days. My love for Emilia-Tan is not affected, is it? After I gain rem's trust, I promise to use it only when necessary. )
 
By the way, rem's suspicion of Subaru had grown considerably. She was paying attention to Subaru's every move. That's why Subaru's tracking perception and bloodlust detection capabilities have increased to 3 levels.
 
(She's really planning to kill me tonight. Actually, if I didn't say I had divine bodyguards, she might even kill me now. In general, those with the smell of witches do not have divine protection. It's my only basis. )
 
Everything was going the same. Eventually, Ram called out to Subaru and Rem when she realized the spices were out.
 
Ram: we're out of spices, so we should go shopping in the village soon. Just so you know.
 
(Just a second?! Why are we all leaving? This never happens to me. )
 
Subaru: why are we all going? Only two would be enough.
 
Ram: Barus Of Utterance. There will be beautiful flowers on both sides. What more do you want.
 
(I think they think I can fight because I have a few abilities, unlike before. That would explain why they both came with me. She doesn't want to fight me one-on-one and take risks.)
 
[System Alert:
 
A new mission has emerged.
 
Type: Occupation Duty
 
Rarity: E-
 
Name: Spice Exchange
 
The mansion has run out of spices. You're a butler who works in this mansion, so you have to go to Irlam village with the Twins and supply spices.
 
Purchase the necessary spices from the village of Irlam with the Twins and return to the Mathers estate with the spices taken.
 
Awards:
 
1. +1 charisma with twins
 
2. +10 gold coins
 
3. + 1 statistical score
 
Special: since this is your first professional task, if you complete this task, the professional functions of the system will be opened.
 
Failure or rejection: intimacy and charisma decline in Twins. And a lot of new problems.
 
Will you accept the mission? ]
 
(Wow! So I can open new functions. I wonder how the professional functions will be? But it doesn't seem cool to turn into a master Butler.... Anyway. Wait, a lot of new problems? What kind of explanation is that?! )
 
The conversation was the same as last time. After taking care of things in the kitchen, Ram, Rem and Subaru set off for the village. On the way, the Subaru was trying not to approach Ram. Because every time he approached Ram, his ability to detect bloodlust because of Rem was alarming. In fact, her ability to detect bloodlust rose another level until he reached the village. Finally, when they arrived in the village, Ram and Rem did the shopping, as they were used to it. At the time, the Subaru was outside doing radio exercises for villagers. ( Again )
 
Subaru: ..... now go up and shout victory. { he said as he spread both hands to the side and yelled. }
 
Peasants: victory!
 
[System:the ability to exercise in the morning has increased. ]
 
[System: +8 charisma was gained with Irlam village. ]
 
After he finished radio gymnastics with the entire village, he spoke to the villagers for a while more. Almost all of the villagers were thanking Subaru. Even radio Gymnastics was normally very beneficial to health. But combined with his Gamer talent, he had incredible results. Even an old aunt who walks with her waist bent is almost walking upright right now. Everyone in the village felt rejuvenated for a few years.
 
( If that's the effect at this level, I wonder what will happen when his level rises to Max? How can I explain it to them if they're really young? )
 
Ram and Rem had already arrived with bags in their hands while Subaru was chatting to the villagers.
 
Ram: stop playing Barusu. We are done. We have to go back.
 
Subaru was preparing to return to the mansion with the twins, but just then he noticed that Petra was pulling his outfit.
 
( fortunately. For a moment, I thought the future had changed, because the children never made fun of Ram. It's all right, everything will be the same. Let's proceed. )
 
Subaru turned to Ram after pretending that the boy had just realized that he wanted to show him something.
 
Ram: I think we can wait a little longer.
 
After receiving approval from Ram, Subaru followed Petra and went to the group of children. She had a girl with braided purple hair holding a small brown puppy in her hand.
 
(Hello, Meili. We meet again. But I can't catch you now. It causes the future to change very sharply. Let's play our part. )
 
Subaru reached out his left hand to caress the dog's head, but the dog became aggressive because he was uncomfortable with Subaru.
 
[System: bloodlust detected. ]
 
The aggressive puppy bit Subaru's hand. The Subaru player's body was not injured by his ability, but his HP fell a small amount. The boys around were impressed when they saw the Subaru was uninjured and they found it cool. But Meili was surprised and looked at Subaru with suspicion.
(One second! Can't the curse settle because I'm not hurt?! Damn, I didn't think about it. But Beako said that the shaman only needs to touch it to plant the curse. I don't have to worry. I must be cursed right now. Beautiful. )
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Basic Curse detection (active) (LV: 1) (MP: / 25)
 
Allows you to learn the number of simple curses in the selected target. It can only be used from a distance of no more than 1 meter. As the level of Ability increases, the information obtained about the curses detected, the distance at which the ability is active, and the level of accuracy of the ability increases.
 
[System: basic Curse detection capability has increased level. ]
 
(Did I gain new talent just because I guessed I was cursed? That's what you call an isekai adventure. )
 
Meili: I'm really sorry, Onii-san. He doesn't usually do that. { She said while making an embarrassed statement. }
 
(Seriously, this girl's acting is very good. Even though I know the truth, I feel like believing her. )
 
Subaru: no problem. In any case, this little thing can't hurt me. { He said while showing his left hand }
 
( I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Really guys, I'm sorry. But there is no other way. I have to do this. I have to do this! I promise I won't let any of you get hurt. But this is for your own good. You just have to put up with it this time. )
 
After leaving the children, Subaru and the twins were returning to the mansion. On the way, Subaru thought about putting the bags in its inventory, but if he did, Rem might think Subaru could sneak a gun into the mansion the same way. So he did what made sense and gave up on the idea. When they arrived at the mansion, Subaru received their mission award and awarded them a statistical score, which he won. So his power became 10. Subaru decided to check after the newly opened functions. They also encountered Roswaal, who was traveling for elections. He then tried to avoid any doubt until the Subaru was in the evening. In the evening, as he always did, he began to wander the corridors to visit Beatrice and headed for a door that he felt was right. He opened the door by turning the door handle. He saw that big library and Beatrice sitting in her chair.
 
Subaru: Hey, Beako, how are you today? Are you reading those boring books again?
 
Beatrice: you again?! Why can't you just leave Betty alone?
 
Subaru: I'm just wondering if you're okay. { He said he was a little staggered. }
 
Beatrice: I don't need the attention of someone like you. I guess.
 
Subaru: Oho... I'm not saying that you need. Cough... But aren't you still bored here alone? { She said while coughing and pretending to be sick. }
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Role-playing (passive) (LV: 1)
 
It makes it easier for you to regulate your behavior. Increases your role-playing and acting capacity. As the level of talent increases, the effectiveness of talent and the credibility of acting increases. In addition, after passing a certain level, new functions are opened.

( Good. Actually, I didn't expect it, but it's good. In the past, I had to pretend and lie all the time because I couldn't tell anyone about the return with death. I think I can be a little more comfortable now. )
 
Beatrice: are you okay? You look worse and more annoying than ever today. { Looking at Subaru. }
 
Subaru: were you worried about my health? Aaaa. You're really cute! { He said in an annoying tone of voice. }
 
Beatrice: HMP! It was a mistake to even ask. I guess.
 
[System: Beatrice, Guardian of the Forbidden library, used high-level due diligence on you to find out if you were okay. It will not be blocked because it is linked to a possible mission. ]
 
( Even if you don't look like it, you're really kind, little beako. )
 
Beatrice: You're Cursed.... { She said in surprise. }
 
Subaru: Curse?! Are you sure? { He said while faking. }
 
Beatrice: you're absolutely cursed. Don't move for a second. I guess. { She said as she started walking towards Subaru. }
 
Beatrice held out the palm of her hand towards the Subaru, and purple smoke appeared on the Subaru's left hand rising into the air. Beatrice grabbed the smoke coming out of the Subaru's hand and dispersed it.
 
Beatrice: I think you're better now.
 
Subaru: Beako, where the smoke comes out....
 
Beatrice: where the Shaman, the one who cursed you, touched you. I guess.
 
[System Alert:
 
A new mission has emerged.
 
Type: Chained Duty
 
Rarity: D
 
Name: Cursed Children
 
The children of Irlam village were cursed by a shapeshifted shaman. If the curse is not lifted in time, the children will die. You can't allow this.
 
What to do: make sure the children in the village of Irlam are free from the curse and safe.
 
Awards:
 
1. +2 General charisma, +10 charisma with those in the village of Irlam, +20 charisma with children in the village of Irlam.
 
2. Petra Leyte's love.
 
3. It's a new title.
 
Failure or rejection: the death of children in the village of Irlam. For everyone in the mansion, Irlam's village is a huge drop in intimacy and charisma. A decline in popularity for candidate Emilia in the Royal election. In addition, Half-elf hostility will increase at a high rate in the village of Irlam.
 
Will you accept the mission? ]
 
( Will you accept the mission? Is there any chance I won't?!!! Look What happens if I don't agree! By the way, Petra's love.... So that's why she fell in love with me. This is a bit of a problem. I don't want to be a hero if I'm a Harem builder. Anyway, there are more important things now. Let's face it. )
 
Subaru: Damn It! Puppy... Children are in danger! { He said running to the door. }
 
Beatrice: what happened?
 
Subaru: Thanks for your help, Beako. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I have to get back to the village now! I'll explain later. { he said as she walked out the door. }
 
Subaru came out of the library and started running towards the exit of the mansion. At that time, Ram and Rem had noticed him.
 
Ram: Where Are you going at this hour, Barusu?
 
Subaru: I was cursed by that puppy when I was in the village. You can confirm that I'm telling the truth from beako. So I must return to the village.
 
Ram: No, we have to stay here and keep Emilia-Sama safe.
 
Subaru: children are in danger! I can't just wait here.
 
Ram: we are responsible for protecting the mansion while Roswaal-sama is away, Barusu.
 
Subaru: I Understand. You think it could be a distraction and an attack on Emilia-Tan . But I still can't leave those kids to die.
 
Subaru activated its ability to convince. It was only Level 1, but it was better than nothing. The Mp kept it open for just a minute as the cost was 25 per minute.
 
Ram: Well. Fine.
 
[System: the ability to convince has increased. ]
 
[System: the ability to convince has increased. ]
 
Rem: but Nee-sama...
 
Ram: Rem, you go to the village with Barusu and I will stay here for the security of the mansion.
 
Rem shook her head in the sense of yes.
 
Subaru: really thanks. Let's go, Rem. Hurry... { His word was interrupted by a voice from afar. }
 
Emilia: Where Are you going Subaru? { She said as he walked toward Subaru. }
 
Subaru: Aaa... It's nothing, Emilia-tan. There's just a little business in the village that needs to be solved.
 
Emilia: you're going to do something dangerous again, aren't you?
 
Subaru: Actually, yes.
 
Emilia: and nothing I'm going to say is going to change your mind, is it?
 
Subaru: yes, it won't. I'm sorry but I have to go.
 
Emilia: well, then. May the help of the spirits be with you. { She said while putting her hand on Subaru's chest. }
 
[System: the player received the help of spirits.
 
Influences:
 
1. +5 chances were won for 12 hours.
 
2. 12.an extra 2% increase in mood predisposition per hour.]
 
( Is this thing that effective?! Or maybe it's an exaggeration of the system. )
 
Subaru: what was that?
 
Emilia: a prayer from where I come from. Come back safely, please.
 
Subaru: don't worry, I'll be fine. Come on, Rem, let's go.
 
After Subaru and Rem left the mansion, they started running towards the village. He did not use his speed ability to protect his Subaru MP sparingly. Finally, when they arrived in the village, they saw the villagers looking for their children with torches in their hands. When the villagers noticed Subaru and Rem, they came to them.
 
Rem: what's going on here?
 
Villager: thank god you're here. The children have disappeared! We're searching the entire village, but we haven't found anything yet.
 
Subaru: Damn It! They must be in the woods. Gather the people in the village and go to safety.
 
After the Subaru spoke, he started running towards the place where he had previously played with the puppy. Rem followed her. They came to the broken barrier.
 
Rem: the barrier is broken....
 
Subaru: so now Witch monsters can come in. Tsk!
 
Rem stopped her when the Subaru was going to go to the back of the fence.
 
Rem: Where Are you going, Subaru?
 
Subaru: children are in danger there. Gotta go.
 
Rem: No. This can be a distraction. We must ensure Emilia-Sama's safety. And that's the wolgarm breeding ground. Dodgy.
 
Subaru: I can't just leave those kids! I have to go.
 
Rem: Why? Why are you going so far for them?! You barely know them. { She said When surprised. }
 
Subaru: when Petra grows up, she wants to be a tailor in the capital and make her own clothes.
 
Rem: huh?
 
Subaru: when Lucas grows up, he wants to be a Knight and protect the country. When Arthur grows up, he wants to be a lumberjack and stay in his own village. When Meina grows up, she wants to be a farmer and have her own farm. Jenny wants to be a doctor and take care of her grandmother. Each has his own dreams and his own desires. I know them all, and I know them. That's why I'm not leaving them. I'm sorry, Rem, but whether you come or not, I'm going to rescue them.
 
After Subaru finished talking, Rem was surprised and thought a little.
 
[ System: +9 charisma gained with rem. ]
 
Rem: well, my job is to look after you. { She said as he smiled and pulled out a Morningstar that wasn't clear where he got it from. }
 
Subaru: Aaa... Rem?...
 
Rem: just for safety.
 
Subaru: But...
 
Rem: just for safety.
 
Subaru: Okay.... So....
 
Subaru took the whip out of the inventory without rem noticing. He was surprised to see Rem Subaru suddenly have a whip on his hand.
 
Rem: Subaru?
 
Subaru: for safety only. Let's go. { He said with a grin. }
 
Subaru and Rem began to run into the forest. Subaru didn't use its speed ability because now its speed ability was running at 17MP a minute. Taking into account the MP renewal, Subaru could only keep this capability on for 16.4 minutes. So he would only use it when necessary. He also decided not to use the divine protection of wind speed because it was increasing fatigue too much. Subaru and Rem were looking for children in the woods, but it was a little difficult in the dark of night. The only light sources were the moon in the sky. Of course, this actually gave Subaru an opportunity to gain new talent.
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Night vision (passive) (LV: 1)
 
It allows you to see better in the dark and better select moving objects. As the skill level increases, the effectiveness of the talent increases.

[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Light eyes (active) (LV: 1) (MP:Min / 3)
 
It allows you to reflect back some of the light that comes into your eyes. It provides a clearer view in the dark. Also, when using this ability, your eyes shine a little, just like cats. As the ability level increases, the effectiveness of the ability increases and the amount of mana it consumes decreases. It can even be used without consuming mana after a certain level.
 
( Woow! Good skills. I think I can use it indefinitely, since my MP refresh is 4.2 per minute and the amount of MP that this ability consumes per minute is 3. Hehehe )
 
Subaru activated its light-eyes ability. He noticed that the environment was starting to see a little better. He also had a much better view than before, although his level of abilities, combined with his night vision ability, was not low. Rem was a little surprised to see Subaru's eyes glow a little.
 
Subaru: Rem, did you find anything?
 
Rem: I found something, but I'm not sure it's human.
 
( That's what she said before. Beautiful. )
 
Subaru: which way?
 
Rem: I think it's over those bushes on the right.
 
After Subaru and Rem passed the bushes, they saw the children who had fainted from the curse on the floor and ran to their side.
 
Rem: They're Cursed....  { She said he was coming to one of the kids. }
 
Subaru: Well... Although I can detect curses to a certain extent, I can't remove them. How can you treat it?
 
Rem: No. I can only prevent their condition from worsening with a healing spell. I wish Nee-sama was here. { She said while applying the healing spell. }
 
(Actually, I don't think Ram will work much here. I think I need to fix this inferiority complex again. Otherwise, I think there will be problems in the future. Anyway, let's focus. I don't want to look as useless as last time. )
 
Subaru: All Right. I'll analyze the level of lanes in the children at the time.
 
Subaru approached little Arthur and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
 
Subaru: basic curse detection....
 
[ System: 1 on target named Arthur. Level basic Curse detection capability was used. 1 curse was found at a target called Arthur. ]
 
(Ee.... This?! I already know they're cursed?! Where's the rest?! Damn.... This ability is useless at this level. )
 
Subaru: Hmm... Damn soon... { Spoke while pretending to know too much. }
 
When the Subaru heard a hoarse sound as it spoke, it stopped and turned towards where the sound was coming from.
 
Petra: Su...Subaru.? { He called out in a weak voice. }
 
Subaru: Yes, I'm Here. Don't push yourself. We'll take you home.
 
Petra: one.... she's still in the woods....
 
[System Alert:

(Haa... You're a really nice girl, Petra. Even now, you're thinking about your friend. How would she feel if he knew who Meili really was? What exactly is the simple empathy ability and ability score, by the way? I need to know this. Then of course. As Petra Leyte is the one who has come to save you, I will fulfill your noble request. Certainly not for awards. Yeah, yeah, definitely not for awards. hehehehe.. )
 
Subaru: don't worry, I'll handle it. { Trying to calm Petra down. }
 
The Subaru was going to get up and start moving into the woods, but was stopped by Rem.
 
Rem: Where Are you going? Wolgarm that is filled with.
 
Subaru: that boy asked me to save her friend. Even in this case, she thought of his friend before himself. We can't just leave that missing child.
 
[ System: +1 charisma was gained with rem. ]
 
Rem: but if we don't get the kids back here right now, their lives will be in danger.
 
Subaru: yeah, you're right. All right, then take the kids back here. I'll look for the other missing boy. Catch up with me after you drop the kids off.
 
Rem: it's a terrible idea. And it's not even certain if rem will find you.
 
Subaru: No. You can find me. Even if no one can, you can smell it. The witch smell.
 
Rem: how much do you know, Subaru?
 
Subaru: not much. I don't know much more than you do. But I want to talk more about things I don't know. So let's talk a lot after this is over. { He said in a sincere tone. }
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Lie (passive) (LV: 1)
 
It improves your ability to lie and deceive someone. It makes it easier for other people to believe your lies, and it makes it easier for them to question your lies too much. As the skill level increases, the effectiveness of the talent increases.

( It's really frustrating that this is so level-headed, but it also makes sense. I couldn't tell anyone about the return with death in previous cycles. That's why I lied to everyone. I had to say! What else could I do? I had to lie to them to protect them. Just like I'm doing now and I'm going to do it in the future. But why did talent emerge now? I've lied before. Anyway, maybe he needs to meet some conditions. )
 
Rem: will you be okay out there alone?
 
Subaru: of course I'll be fine. I promise. Little finger promise. { He said rem's little finger was wrapped around his own little finger. }
 
Subaru: it's a kind of saying from where I come from. A promise that can't be broken.
 
After Subaru convinced rem, he started running into the woods. His MP was completely full and now he could see better in the dark. But he still tried to be careful. Because Subaru knew the price of being too confident. Subaru kept running until he saw the system message.
 
[System: you are being watched with hostile intent. ]
 
[System: bloodlust detected. ]
 
[System: lighted eye capability increased level. ]
 
(It may appear at any moment. )
 
Subaru's in combat position. About a second later, a Wolgarm from the bushes leapt towards the Subaru and tried to bite the Subaru's head with its jaw. But because Subaru was prepared, he was able to react in time and immediately maneuvered to the right. Upon Subaru's move, the witch monster crashed into the tree and was stunned. Knowing this, Subaru activated the divine protection of wind speed and waved his whip to hit Wolgar's neck. It hit the target, creating an airflow around the whip. As soon as the whip hit the target, a small shock wave appeared, and The Wolf's neck was split open. Actually, it was a sight worth seeing. Parts of the Wolf's neck were scattered in the air, and the monster died before it could even react. Of course, as a side effect of this, Subaru's fatigue increased by a large amount.
 
[System: 8. Level one wolgarm is defeated. ]
 
Subaru: Woow!!! That's how war happens.
 
After Subaru defeated wolgarmi, he continued to run through the woods to find Meili. At this time, he was massaging himself with one hand to reduce fatigue. He more or less remembered where he was last time. So it was easy to find the boy, but when you started carrying Subaru Meili, suddenly the system messages appeared.
 
[System: you are being watched by a crowded group with hostile intent. ]
 
[System: bloodlust was detected from many targets. ]
 
Subaru: I forgot about that. { he said when he started running. }
 
As the Subaru ran, wolgarms began to pop out of the bushes behind it. The wolgarms were chasing Subaru and trying to kill him. Subaru was carrying Meili in one hand and trying to use his WHIP in the other to attack. He also began to use the divine protection of wind speed. His speed has increased by 65% now because he has a level of divine protection of 4. As Subaru's agility was 15, its score increased to +9.75 and the effect of the whip was added to +10. So now Subaru's agility was 34.75. It was more than twice as fast as its previous state, and the airflow around it made it difficult for the wolgarm to approach. He killed 6 more wolgarm who approached him as he ran.
 
[System: 8. Level three wolgarm is defeated. 7. Level two wolgarm was defeated. 9. Level one wolgarm is defeated. ]

Subaru was able to handle its fatigue with the upgrade of the level jump. But still, his fatigue continued to grow very quickly.
 
( Armed. Where's Rem? )
 
As Subaru thought to himself, he finally understood why rem didn't come right away. Subaru found Meili earlier this time. That's why Rem couldn't take the kids to the village yet. Subaru should have held out until Rem arrived. The old subaru couldn't do it and would have to reset it, but it wasn't that hard for Subaru. He shook his whip again, but this time he tried to use a skill he almost never used.
 
Subaru: Strong Strike. { He said while waving the whip. }
 
Combined with novice Whip mastery, divine protection of wind speed and powerful hitting ability, the power of the attack increased significantly. But Subaru had turned off the divine protection of wind speed to control its fatigue. At the moment, he was only attacking using his strong hitting ability. In fact, the fact that this ability was so effective, despite being at the first level, surprised Subaru, but also made him happy.
 
[System: lighted eye capability increased level. ]
 
Subaru had killed about three more wolgarm, and another wolgarm tried to attack Subaru from behind, but just as wolgarm was about to bite Subaru's shoulder, Subaru was able to spot wolgarm because he was too focused.
 
Subaru: Mana Shield!
 
Suddenly, a spherical Shield appeared around the Subaru, and wolgar's jaw hit the shield. The monster was a little stunned that he couldn't understand what had happened. Of course, normally this mistake would have cost him his life, but fortunately, the monster was lucky today. Because Subaru had already begun to escape by shutting down its shield and activating its speed ability. Of course, it wasn't because he was afraid to run away. He didn't feel fear because of the fourth wall anyway. In fact, even without this talent, Subaru wouldn't be afraid. Because these were nothing compared to what Subaru lived in. The reason he escaped was because the Wolgarm left behind eventually started catching up with him. It wasn't an action movie. Subaru knew that very well. If all the wolgarm attacked at the same time, the Subaru would die instantly. So he made the most logical choice. Of course, he didn't come back from this war empty-handed.
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Increased senses (passive) (LV: 1)
 
It increases the sensitivity and accuracy of all senses, especially the five basic senses. There is no MP consumption, but sensitizing the senses can have disturbing side effects. As the skill level increases, the effectiveness of the talent increases.

Concentration Of War. (Passive) (LV: 1)
 
It allows you to focus better and be more careful in the event of war. There is no MP consumption. As the skill level increases, the effectiveness of the talent increases. In addition, after a sufficient level, new functions of the ability can be opened.

Information merge (Passive / Active) (LV: 1) (MP:Min / 250)
 
Passive: increases the ability to connect information and induction. As the skill level increases, the effectiveness of the talent increases.
 
Active: highly improves induction, deductive and analogy abilities. It also greatly increases the speed of thinking. It consumes 250 MP per minute and a large amount of mental power. It doesn't do much at low levels, but as the ability level increases, the effectiveness of the ability greatly increases. As the level of talent increases, the MP ratio consumed by talent decreases.
 
[System: the ability to combine information has increased. ]
 
(Oh! 250 mp ?! I don't even have that many MPs.! Anyway, I'll think about it later. Now... Aah!? )
 
Unfortunately, the Subaru spent too much MP using the Mana Shield. So he couldn't keep his speed ability on for long. Attacks by the wolgarm behind Subaru were beginning to reach Subaru. Of course, the player's body wasn't injured because of his ability, but his HP was falling and he was hurt.
 
Subaru: Rem, where the hell are you?!!
 
Subaru shouted as he waved his whip around the neck of another wolgarm.
 
[System: 7. Level one wolgarm is defeated. ]
 
[System: level skipped. ]
 
[System: strong hitting ability. ]
 
( Good. At least now my MP and HP amount has been renewed. Actually, I can end it by threatening Meili, but it will cause a lot of problems in the future. I'd rather use the return with death than that. )
 
With Meili in his arms, Subaru activated his speed ability and kept running. At the same time, Subaru applied a basic Curse of laziness to the wolgarms behind him, slowing them down. But the MP pool was too small. Just as he was preparing to attack again, he noticed that a spiked ball made of iron in front of him was flying towards him at high speed. The Subaru maneuvered instantly, and the flying spiked Cannon suddenly killed the two wolgars behind it. Then Rem came out of the bushes.
 
Rem: Subaru-kun! Are you well?
 
Subaru: I'm fine, but couldn't you have come a little earlier?! { She said in a playful tone as she leaned against a nearby stone. }
 
Rem briefly smiled at Subaru. Then she started attacking the wolgarm around. Every time Rem waved a gun in her hand, she killed two to four wolgarm. The wolgarms had stopped hiding sporadically. They started bouncing round to REM. But Rem began to wave his weapon circularly, and 9 wolgarm were killed at the same time.
 
Subaru: You're Strong!! { He said in an impressed expression. }
 
( On a level far beyond me. My abilities may be far ahead of my level, but I still may not last a minute against him. I have to improve. )
 
Rem: I don't think that's a compliment to say to a girl. { She said with a smile. }
 
Rem continued to fight the witch monsters. Actually, it wasn't much of a war. From the outside, it looked like a one-sided massacre by Rem. Rem continued the massacre for some time.
 
(It could happen at any moment, I have to be prepared. This is the only way. )
 
Four wolgarm jumped over rem from behind a hill as Rem continued to fight. Rem didn't even have time to react.
 
Subaru: Reeem!!! { He said while screaming in lie. }
 
Subaru pretended to stand up to help rem. Actually, his goal was to get into position to run. He also put his WHIP in his inventory. Knocked to the ground, Rem suddenly threw the monsters on him at a mind-boggling speed, and va stood up. HHe began to grow demon horns on his forehead.
 
Rem: hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
 
Because she was in Rem oni form, she could not react to the wolgarm jumping back down the hill. The wolgarms were going to jump on Rem, and Subaru started running towards rem, activating his speed ability. Subaru managed to push rem at the last second. Rem couldn't figure out what had happened at first. But as she was being pushed away, she started to come out of oni mode and saw what was happening. It was like time was in slow motion. She got into Oni form and lost control. That's why he couldn't see the attack coming. She certainly couldn't have survived the attack. But he survived. Why? Because Subaru saved him. By risking his own life. Why? Why did she save her? They'd only known each other for four days, and they weren't even that good. Why? She was being saved by the person he wanted to kill, and she was just smiling as the man she wanted to kill saved him. Why? Why was he saving a worthless man like her? Why?!.....
 
[ System: +24 charisma gained with rem. ]
 
After Subaru pushed rem, he was knocked down by the wolgarms. The wolgarms started biting him constantly in an attempt to curse Subaru. But there was a problem. Subaru's body was uninjured at all. But he was still screaming in pain.
 
Subaru: AH!? AC...ah?! AAAAAH!!
 
[System:Physical Endurance mastery skill level. ]
 
(No! Please don't let my HP score drop to zero! )
 
Rem had been frozen for a while, but came to shis senses when he heard Subaru scream. At that time, the wolgarm, who had finished the curse, began to flee. Rem ran to Subaru's side, but by that time Subaru had already clicked on the option to sleep.
 
Short Time Jump....
 
[ You slept in a comfortable bed. Negative effects deleted. ]
 
Subaru woke up in a bed in one of the houses in the village. He didn't know if Rem and Beatrice were arguing with each other, as his sleep was due to the system.
 
(I hope nothing has changed. )
 
Subaru: it means I'm alive.
 
Puck: you barely survived, Subaru. { He said while sitting on Subaru's chest. }
 
Subaru: Haaa... What happened after I passed out?
 
Puck: that blue-haired maid carried you and that little girl to the village. You were lucky. And if Reach in time. Katur lapur rupur smacking crunch you've eaten. { Eerily said. }
 
Subaru: that was scary.
 
Puck: Yeah? Then I'm sorry. By the way, when you got here, you didn't have any injuries. But that maid insisted that you were bitten and wounded by the wolgarms.
 
Subaru: Well... It was thanks to one of my divine bodyguards. 
 
Puck: what divine protection? { He said with a skeptical look. }
 
(Eee... It's a good question. )
 
Subaru: no name. I haven't given you a name yet.
 
[System: the Great Spirit Of Fire puck used the ability of spiritual telepathy to find out if you are telling the truth ]
 
[System: Fourth Wall activated. ]
 
[System: the effect of spiritual telepathy has been erased. ]
 
(Well, I have a better idea. )
 
Subaru: don't bother. Nothing can cross the fourth wall.
 
Puck: What are you? { he spoke in a menacing tone, and things started to cool down a little bit. }
 
Subaru: Calm Down, Puck. I'm not the enemy.
 
Puck: so why should I believe that? { He said it was getting a little colder. }
 
Subaru: Well, you have no reason to believe me. I can't blame you for doubting me. I'm a man with strange powers that suddenly appear and behave strangely. Actually, it would be unreasonable not to suspect. So how about a magical deal to prove that I'm not a threat?  he said when he was getting up from bed. }
 
Puck: Deal?
 
[System: the Great Spirit Of Fire puck used the ability of spiritual telepathy to understand if your intentions were good ]
 
[System: Fourth Wall activated. ]
 
[System: the effect of spiritual telepathy has been erased. ]
 
Puck: what's your point?! { again, he said in a menacing tone. }
 
Subaru: I'm offering a deal. The ingredients will tell.
 
1. Natsuki Subaru will die if he hurts Emilia.
 
2. Natsuki Subaru will protect Emilia. If Natsuki Subaru can't protect Emilia and let Emilia die, he'll die, too.
 
3. If Natsuki Subaru tells puck that danger is coming to the people in the mansion, puck will help Natsuki Subaru prevent danger without asking how he knows. Of course, as long as it is reasonable.
 
5. Roswaal will never be allowed to find out about this deal.
 
4. This deal can't be broken unless Puck wants it.
 
Well... What say you?
 
(No one can break a magical agreement. That way Puck can trust me. )
 
After the Subaru spoke, the Puck was so low that it fell silent for a moment. Who would have offered such a deal? Magical deals are etched into the soul. Nothing can break them.
 
Puck: are you sure you know what a magic deal means? { Said while still bewildered }
 
Subaru: don't worry, I know exactly what happened.
 
Puck: then why?!
 
Subaru: Simple. Because I love Emilia. I love him more than anything, and I want to protect her. I can't say why I love. We're going to face a lot of danger soon. I can't tell you how I know that. That's why I'm offering this deal. { He said in a heartfelt tone. }
 
Puck was surprised what to say. He didn't expect anything like this. And the fact that he couldn't get into the child's mind made things even more difficult.
 
Puck: are you saying You Love My daughter? You dare tell me that!
 
Subaru: Yeah, absolutely. Listen carefully, Puck. In our future, we will face greater and more complex dangers than you can imagine. If we don't work together, Emilia-tan will definitely die. { He said with certainty. }
 
Puck: are you saying I can't protect my daughter alone?! { He said in an angry tone. }
 
The air in the room had suddenly become extremely cold. Some furniture even started to get a little icy. But Subaru didn't seem scared at all. Subaru activated his persuasion and began to speak.
 
Subaru: Yes. You can't protect him alone. You can't protect him at night. If Emilia tries to remember her own past, you can't protect her. { He said in a confident tone. }
 
[System: Great Spirit Of Fire puck's mental resistance was so high that the effect of his ability to convince was completely erased. ]
 
( OK. I was already confident a Level 3 talent wouldn't have an impact on the Puck. The best let. It's illogical to waste an MP. )
 
Puck: Past... How do you know that! { He said in an angry tone. }
 
After puck's speech,the room began to cool and freeze. The Subaru was already shaking from the cold, but now it's starting to freeze. This situation continued for about a second. Then....
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Cold Resistance (passive) (LV: 1)

( I can't say I'm surprised that this talent has increased so much. Because I've met the cold many times and froze to death exactly 3 times. But I have to say. The title that zeroes in on death is truly incredible!!! Should I try to burn myself? Because I burned to death in the wise Tower. If I get heat resistance, it'll level up. Anyway, now I have to focus on the job in front of me. )
 
Subaru: I know too much. I know both the past that Emilia forgot and the past that you forgot.
 
Puck: the past I forgot?!
 
( He doesn't remember because of his deal with echidna. Actually, I don't know much about it, but what I know is more than enough for him. )
 
Subaru: you don't remember, but you can. I know a lot. I know Emilia's memory was erased by Pandora. I know Emilia was frozen for 100 years. I know you got Emilia out of there and taught Emilia how to control her power. After living in the woods for a year, I know how Roswaal found you. I know that Emilia participated in the Royal election to save the frozen elves. Previously, I know it too. I know how the elf village was attacked. I know about geuse's sacrifice. I know the seal. I know not only the past, but the present, even the future that you can't predict. And I can tell you this. In the future, you can't protect Emilia alone. I know you care more about her safety than anything, and I know you would do anything for her. But that won't be enough. You have to make a deal with me. When you have nothing to lose by making a deal, you have a lot to lose by not making a deal. Think about it.
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Oratory (Passive/Active) (LV: 1) (MP:Min / 30)
 
Passive: increases your oratory ability depending on the level of ability. Improves your pronunciation and diction. It increases the effectiveness of your conversations.
 
Active: when activated, your conversations become more memorable, more heartfelt, more soulful, and more impressive. As the number of people you talk to increases, the effectiveness of your talent increases. As the ability level increases, the effectiveness of the ability increases and the amount of MP it consumes decreases.

Puck was shocked by what Subaru said. He was incredibly surprised that Subaru knew about this, but he was also scared. He wasn't afraid of the boy he was facing. Because his instincts told him he could kill that boy any time he wanted to. What he was really afraid of was the possibility that what that boy said might be true. If it's true. What if he can't protect Lia?..
 
Puck: You... What are you?! { He said in fear and astonishment. }
 
( Stupid. Wise. It doesn't work. Saving. Coward. Brave. Returning With Death. Half-Elf Knight. Time Traveler. Lolimancer. The Hero Of Oni, The Forgotten. It makes you forget. Gamer. )
 
Subaru: I'm the one to help you. I can't explain the details now. There isn't time. You'll know what I mean later.
 
Puck spoke after thinking about it for a while.
 
Puck: Okay. You're either an idiot or a sage. But either way, like you said, there's nothing to lose for me.
 
[System: +2 charisma was gained with the Great Spirit Of Fire puck. ]
 
The temperature in the room returned to normal, and a white light appeared on the puck's paw.
 
Subaru: Good. { He said with a grin. }
 
Subaru touched his finger on the puck's paw and spread a closed orange color from his finger. Then the two colors got mixed up and disappeared.
 
[System: a deal has been made with Puck, The Great Spirit of Fire. The agreement was added to the status window. ]
 
[System: Please enter a name in the agreement. ]
 
[System: a new capability has been created due to the current situation. ]
 
Magical agreement (active) (LV: 1) (MP: 50-10000)
 
Creates a spell-sealed agreement between selected targets. Deals are engraved directly into the soul. So it is independent of space and time. The amount of MP consumed by the agreement varies between 50 and 1000 depending on the number of participants in the agreement, the level of power of the participants in the agreement, the number of terms in the agreement, and the size of the terms in the agreement. As the ability level increases, the effectiveness of the ability increases and the amount of MP it consumes decreases.
 
(Woow! Isn't that a great talent?! But how do I raise your level? I'll think about it later. By the way, call it the agreement to protect Emilia-Tan. It's a little plain, but it doesn't matter. )
 
[System: do you approve setting the name of the agreement made as the Emilia-Tan Protection Agreement? ]
 
( Yeah. )
 
[System: name change confirmed. ]
 
Subaru: Good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have things to do, Puck. { He said getting out of bed. }
 
Puck: do you really realize what you just did? You just made a deal on your life. Aren't you afraid of death?! { He said in surprise. }
 
Subaru: yes, I'm very aware of what I'm doing, and of course I'm afraid of death. { He said in a plain tone. }
 
The Subaru was heading for the door, but that's when the puck stopped talking.
 
Puck: you're weird, but since it's a deal, I'll trust you for now. By the way, Betty said she wanted to see you.
 
Subaru: thank you for letting me know. I'd better not keep him waiting. { She said as she walked out the door. }
 
He whispered quietly after the Subaru walked out the door.
 
Subaru: show Mission Rewards.

( This system is really weird. His charisma system is unstable, and his ability to level up is irregular. Whoever built the system didn't balance it properly. As if the system isn't finished yet. In fact, this explains why new functions appear. I wonder what else will come out. And no money fell from the monsters I killed. How am I gonna pay for the stuff I'm gonna buy at the store? This is a big problem. For a second.... Something's wrong. )
 
Subaru looked around and noticed at that moment.
 
(Where is Ram?! She was supposed to stick a boiled potato in my mouth here! Fuck! Has something changed?! What did I do wrong?! Stop. I'm exaggerating too much. Actually, I lost a lot of time with Puck this time. Ram could have walked past the House. Then I have to run to Beako to close the time gap and make sure the date doesn't change. )
 
Subaru started running towards Beatrice. He already knew where Beatrice was. He saw other people in the village smiling and saluting him as the Subaru made its way down the road. Children were even cheering on Subaru.
 
(Is this the effect of the increase in charisma?! If so, doesn't that mean that the system affects people's thoughts? Anyway, I'll think about it later. )
 
Subaru came to Beatrice.
 
Subaru: Hello Beako. I hear you miss me. { Grinning and leaning against the wall in front of Beatrice, he said. }
 
Beatrice: I have something important to tell you. I guess. { She said in a serious tone of voice. }
 
Subaru: so what is this?
 
Beatrice: I think you have half a day to live.
 
Subaru: I Understand. { He said Seriously. }
 
Beatrice: I guess you weren't even scared. I'm telling you he's going to die. Aren't you afraid of death? { She said in surprise. }
 
Subaru: of course I'm afraid of death. By the way, can you tell me why I'm going to die?
 
Beatrice: I couldn't lift the curses because you were cursed by so many wolgarm at the same time. Lifting a curse when there is only one curse is as easy as breaking a knot, but when there is more than one, it becomes difficult to solve the curse. { She said by showing it as representation with both hands. }
 
Subaru: so, why half a day?
 
Beatrice: it's about dinner time. When Wolgarm is hungry, he activates the curse and eats his Mana and OD. So you die.
 
Subaru: so they attack because they're hungry. Haaa... I hope they don't get hungry early. There doesn't seem to be much that can be done. The best... For a second.... Where's Beako Rem?!
 
Beatrice: what would you do if you were him?
 
Ram, who was listening to them at the time, revealed himself.
 
Ram: Beatrice-sama, did Rem go into the woods alone?
 
[System: Ram feels bad. ]
 
( Is that how simple empathy works? That could be quite useful. )
 
Beatrice: yes, I think so.
 
Ram: I Understand. Thanks.  { She said before he turned around and started going into the woods. }

(Sponsor functions?! What is that? I hope is a good thing. By the way, by Dungeon key, I hope he means what I think he means. In any case, there is no chance that I will not accept the mission. Accept the mission. )
 
Subaru: Hey! Ram, wait a second. You can't go alone.
 
Ram: Barus to talk stupid and don't try to stop me. { She said in a harsh tone. }
 
Subaru: I won't try to stop you. I'm going with you.
 
Ram: What Are you talking about, Barusu? I can't let you slow me down. Just so you know, I'm not as strong as Rem. I lost my horn at an early age. I can only use a lot of wind magic. { She said by sending a wind current from his palm towards the ground. }
 
Subaru: Rem went there alone to save me. I can't stand here doing nothing while he's in danger. That's why I'm coming with you, Ram, whether you like it or not. Don't worry, I can take care of myself. { He said in a determined tone. }
 
[ System: +2 charisma was gained with Ram. ]
 
( This mechanics of charisma terrifies me. And I can't control the charisma gained. Damn... What if I get too much charisma with Ram?! No! I don't even want to think about it. I'm definitely not having an affair with Ram! I don't want to be one of those stupid harem-owning heroes! I'm not turning this into a harem!!! My heart belongs to Emilia-tan and Rem. Stop.... it's not automatically a harem because it belongs to two people, is it?! I shouldn't think about it. )
 
When Subaru heard Ram talking, he cut off his thoughts and returned to reality.
 
Ram: All Right, Barusu. Just don't stop me.
 
Just as Subaru and Ram were heading into the forest, they were stopped by a group of peasants. A teenager handed Subaru a sword and an old man began to speak.
 
Muraosa: Subaru-dono, we are grateful to you for saving our children. please accept this as a gift from us. The sharpest sword in the village. I hope it helps you in your struggle.
 
Subaru: I needed a second gun with a whip. This is really going to help. Thank you very much.
 
Muraosa: No. Thank you, Subaru-dono.
 
Subaru took the sword and started running into the woods with Ram. He took off his whip on the way. Ram didn't ask Subaru where he got the sword, as he wasn't paying attention at the time. Subaru analyzed the sword using his ability to observe as they entered the forest.

A Spatha-style sword made with primitive technology, given to Gamer Natsuki Subaru as a token of gratitude as a result of their help from the villagers of Irlam. A sword of medium length, wide, sharp on two sides and pointed at the tip. It's not very special, M.He. 1. It began to be used in the century. It was usually used by the ancient Romans and Vikings. Normally, this type of Sword is longer, but this model is made a little smaller. It is recommended to use two hands, but it can be used with one hand. It works on the basis of chopping instead of splitting. Suitable for cutting attacks instead of punching attacks. Its sharpness is acceptable, but its durability is minimal. Especially the side of the blade close to the hilt is more durable as a result of incorrect production. The blade is made of metal. and the hilt is made of a mixture of bronze and bronze. ]
 
[System: this weapon has no name. Would you like to give this weapon a name? ]
 
(Oh!!! Even though my ability to observe is Level 15, does it make sense for him to give so much information?! What happens when the level is 30 or 40? I think I should focus a little more on this talent. By the way, this sword qualifies as garbage according to the system. Interesting. And I'm pretty sure there's No Rome in this world. Anyway, I'll think about it later. Now I have to find a name. The wolgarm massacre. Is that too childish? Never mind. His name doesn't matter. That name. )
 
[System: do you approve of setting the name of this weapon as the Wolgarm killer? ]
 
( Yeah.)
 
[System: the name of the weapon is set to Wolgarm slain. ]
 
They didn't talk to ram about rem's past because Subaru was avoiding it. Subaru avoided this issue because the imbalance of his charisma system was very frustrating. He feared the prospect of gaining too much charisma with Ram. Subaru got her head together and went back to work. He waved the sword until the talent was formed.

(Great!! The title that resets death is really one of the best gifts I've ever received! The sword lessons I have learned from Williham and Rehinhard in the past have not been wasted. )
 
Ram: Why Are you foolishly waving the sword in the air, Barusu? { She said in a derogatory tone. }
 
Subaru: Aaa... I was just checking on something.
 
Ram: Stupid. Anyway, hold on, Barusu. I'll use my clairvoyant talent.
 
Ram stopped and closed her eyes and activated his clairvoyant ability. Her ability connected with animals of the same wavelength, allowing her to see what those animals or insects saw. But as a side effect, Ram couldn't move while using it. Also, his nose was bleeding and she was starting to shake. Ram shut down clairvoyant after a while and returned to Subaru.
 
Subaru: Well.... Did you find anything?
 
Ram: no, even the bugs can't get close to Rem because of Rem's murder.
 
Subaru: don't worry, I have a plan. I can go back with a D....

Subaru was so surprised he couldn't even think.
 
Ram: Barusu, no time for your stupidity.
 
Subaru: Huh?!
 
( The system just fired the witch. That's impossible. Stop. You'll think about it later. )
 
Subaru: Natsuki Subaru bait plan has begun. { He said while shouting loudly. }
 
Ram: Huh?!
 
Subaru: after the Rem wolgarm. So he'll come to where there's a lot of wolgarms. So I drew the wolgarm to myself.
 
(I feel like an idiot for making such a careless plan last time. But I have to go the same way. )
 
Emerging from the trees, the wolgarms began to attack Ram and Subaru. Ram attacked the resulting wolgarm with Fula magic. Subaru, on the other hand, activated the divine protection of wind speed and began to attack with a whip in his left hand. Ram was surprised to see a wind current forming around Subaru, but when Ram asked how he did it, Subaru simply said he could do it thanks to the divine protection of wind speed. Subaru used his powerful hitting ability to swing his whip towards the wolgarm. The sound it made when the whip hit in the air caused fear to the wolgarm, and when it hit the target, the shock wave tore the flesh and killed the wolgarm in pain. The wolgarm, who escaped from the tip of the whip and tried to attack Subaru, was cut by the sword in Subaru's other hand. The effect of increased sense ability and combat concentration ability was clearly visible. He had an incredible amount of focus. He could see almost every attack coming. Every once in a while, the Subaru was damaged, but the player's body talent prevented him from being injured. Of course, Subaru wasn't stupid. At least he wasn't stupid anymore. Subaru rubbed the wolgarm's blood on him without revealing it to ram to make himself look injured. He also changed his movements as if he had been injured from the inside. While waiting for REM to arrive, the duo continued to hunt wolgarm. Subaru and Ram were killing more wolgarm at any moment.

Of course, Ram didn't expect Subaru to be able to fight so well.
 
[ System: +3 charisma was gained with Ram. ]
 
(Damn it! I hope that this charisma gradually accumulates and does not cause me problems. )
 
Everything was going well, but there was a problem. The ability to maintain the Divine speed of the wind caused a lot of fatigue. That's why Subaru was targeting the wolgarm's neck to get things done fast and kill the wolgarm directly. Because the wolgarms were on all fours, their necks naturally remained below. So it was easier to aim for the neck. But still, Subaru's whip skills were not flawless. So sometimes he could miss the neck. This, in turn, caused the wolgarm to be injured rather than killed and become even more aggressive. Of course, every futile attack cost Subaru dearly. Now his fatigue had grown. Anyway, the reason he's been able to hold out so far is because he's level-jumping. Every time he Level Up, HP, his MP was full and his fatigue was reset. But now his fatigue had begun to reach dangerous levels. Ram's energy was also about to run out. There were too many wolgarm. But Ram was much better in one-on-one combat against a powerful enemy. She did not have enough stamina in a battle against a large number of enemies. And even if he didn't have a horn, she was still an oni. So Ram sometimes didn't know when to stop in battle. Of course, she was very trained to keep himself in control. She just loses control in a state of emotional instability and doesn't know where to stop. The fact that Roswaal or Rem is in danger is the best example of these emotional situations. The Ram began to shake and collapse. Just as she was about to fall, she caught the Subaru Ram waiting for this situation.
 
Subaru: Damn It! What's happened?! { He said while faking. }
 
Ram: I think Mana is over... { She said in a tired voice. }
 
Subaru quickly put his whıp in the inventory and started running, carrying Ram with his wasted hand. At this time, of course, many wolgarm approached them. Using his Subaru sword, he began to keep them away and slow them down using the basic Curse of laziness. Of course, he was using the basic Curse of laziness in moderation because he would need an MP to use his Shamac talent. And for the same reason, he didn't use his speed ability. And because of his fatigue, he had turned off the divine protection of wind speed.

[SYSTEM: Basic laziness curse ability level up. ]
 
Subaru: and you told me not to be a burden.
 
Ram: Shut Up, Barusu.... { Frowning, he said. }
 
[System: Ram feels bad. ]
 
(No details. The same message came up when he was in the village worried about Rem. Ram's probably mad at me right now, but the same message came up again. I think that when simple empathy is at this level, it only reports that the feelings of the person in front of me are positive or negative. )
 
As the Subaru ran, it finally came to the abyss, where it had jumped earlier. Subaru did something unexpected and changed the way he held the sword. He no longer held the sword by the hilt, but by the middle of the blade. So that when he used the sword to slow down when he jumped off the cliff, the sword would not break. Of course, in this way, he could not fully hold the sword and take damage. In fact, if the player's body was not capable, his palm would be cut off and he would not be able to hold the sword. The Subaru ran into the abyss. Before Ram could react, he jumped off the cliff and plunged the sword into the cliff, slowing his fall. After descending the cliff, Subaru corrected the way he held the sword. The Plan worked and the sword was not broken.
 
( Good. )
 
At that time, many wolgarm began to jump towards them, but the wolgarm was shot dead by a spiked iron cannon while they were still in the air. Then Rem came out of the bushes completely covered in wolgarm blood.
 
Rem: Hahahahahahaha!!!
 
Rem laughed like a madman and continued to slaughter the wolgarm. But when he got a certain smell, he stopped and turned to Subaru.
 
Rem: Witch....
 
[System: extreme bloodlust detected ]
 
(Here we go again. )
 
Subaru: Rem! We're here to take you back!! { He said by faking it. }
 
Rem turned to Subaru and roared. She imitated her in the wolgarm and began to roar. Rem started waving her gun to where the Subaru was. Fortunately, there were wolgarms between the two. So Subaru could escape Morningstar.
 
Subaru: Damn It! Ram, what's going on!
 
Ram: he's in Demon form now... { She said while he was still tired. }
 
Subaru: so when he's a demon, she can get very strong, but she can't control himself?!
 
Rem once again attacked Subaru, this time targeting Subaru's head. Fortunately, Subaru was able to react just in time thanks to its increased sense ability. Subaru was running on one side and talking to Ram on the other.
 
Subaru: how do I stop her?! { He said while pretending not to know. }
 
Ram: Horn... A strong blow to the Horn will stop her.
 
Subaru: so, how am I going to approach it when Rem is attacking everywhere like crazy?!
 
Ram: How do I know? Gather all your wisdom, think, and make a plan.
