Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

"So what's wrong with me taking revenge? Subaru Natsuki, I don't have your 'abnormal' spirit. I'm a normal person who holds grudges, and I'm also a champion of gender equality!"

"Well, of course, I can't say I'm absolutely equal. In that respect, I might not be as... arrogant as you."

He walked to Subaru's side and whispered...

“Actually, we should be pretty good partners. I really like you, Subaru. Although you are arrogant, you remind me of my friends. If we can become true friends, I can easily fulfill your wishes.”

He reached out his hand and said in a seductive voice...

"So, how about we make another deal? Let me give you enough power, or even the cheat-like abilities you desire. I don't want anything from you, just hold my hand, okay?"

"...Devil, you can't fool me anymore!"

"There won't be a next time." Natsuki Subaru slapped his hand away and growled.

"I will never call your name again, never!"

"Really? Then we'll wait and see." Tsurugi sat back down and waved his hand dismissively.

"Given your style, I bet you'll call me next time, but I must reiterate, a demon? No, no, no, at least here, I'm an... angel."

Subaru Natsuki's will returned to his body, and the Return of Death occurred immediately.

The world has once again undergone destruction and reconstruction, while Tsugumi, within his consciousness, plays with a dark, severed hand.

The Witch of Envy, the Witch Factor, the Seven Deadly Sins... Hmm... this world is still something that interests him.

Tsurugi played with the jealousy factor he had stolen with great interest. After thinking for a moment, he sent it back to its original body.

The next moment, the system spoke.

'An external element, the Jealousy Factor, has been detected. Your current Jealousy Ability (Lv3) experience has increased!'

Oh my gosh, it seems there's a new set of collectibles in this world!

So, in addition to 'redeeming' the soul of the arrogant savior, there is a new purpose.

To seize all the so-called seven deadly sins of this world, the witch factors!

621. [Re:0] Slaughter at Roswaal's Mansion

Sometimes, Tsurugi has to consider a possibility.

Do arrogant people all have the ability to refuse to admit their mistakes and never repent?

Lucifer is like this; even after being stepped on by Michael countless times, he still insists on courting death.

Subaru Natsuki is the same way. Despite having learned his lesson from the previous two times, he still displays extreme self-centeredness the third time, and shows no intention of restraining himself or putting on a facade.

The ability to revert to life after death should primarily be about learning acting skills. After all, once someone guesses your ability, it might turn from a cheat code into an endless cycle of painful death.

Especially since he himself couldn't determine the save point, one wrong move could result in a 'dead save file'.

Tsugumi couldn't help but put herself in this guy's shoes, and then came to the conclusion that—

He probably won't go near Emilia, that troublemaker.

No, he might follow Subaru's path to learn the power of this magical world, but he would never do anything solely to save people. After all, the 'gratitude' he owed Emilia was repaid after receiving the crest, and other favors were not enough to make him risk his life.

Hmm, thinking about it this way, could this kid have some kind of strange baby bird complex? Just because Emilia saved him once in the alley, he's hopelessly in love with her?

While Tsugumi was lost in thought and watching the drama unfold, Natsuki Subaru once again embarked on the same path to death.

In his third cycle within the mansion, which was also his fifth death, he made the worst mistake he could have made.

In this cycle, he chose to stay as a 'guest' instead of a 'servant', but showed an overly familiar attitude towards the mansion. He was then deceived by the feigned friendliness of Ram, who came to inquire about information, and revealed more details.

And—the so-called witch aura accumulated on his body due to his return from death further heightened his vigilance, ultimately leading him to mistakenly choose to leave the group, allowing the maid named Rem to seize the opportunity to deal with him when he was alone.

And clearly, compared to her deep-thinking older sister, this seemingly taciturn younger sister is actually the most irritable and least intelligent one.

Just as Tsugumi said when she died last time, no matter what, Natsuki Subaru's status as Emilia's guest is not something a maid like her can handle on her own, let alone torture him. And this guy even said something like he would kill Natsuki Subaru before his sister found out.

So—

After this lesson, this guy should be able to exclude this stinky blue-haired guy from the list of those he can save, right?

A flashing wind blade severed Subaru Natsuki's right foot, and as he watched his right foot disappear below the knee, he let out a painful scream.

But soon, a soft hand pressed down on Subaru's frantically struggling body from above, and a bluish-white light healed the severed part of his right foot. However, the words emanating from that pure and beautiful face were chilling to the bone for Natsuki Subaru.

"If we let you die so easily, we won't be able to get any information from you."

Then the torture began, with questions about whether he was a spy for the opposing camp or a member of the Witch Cult, followed by a cycle of cruel abuse.

The hammer repeatedly shattered his limbs, then healed them, then shattered again, then healed again; the boundless pain destroyed his sanity.

But what hurt the kid most was his heart. He felt wronged and kept trying to help them, trying to do his best, trying...

But what awaited them was trampled goodwill, indifferent kindness, and now, being tortured, tormented, loathed, and scorned.

Pain, wailing, screaming, lamentation

Feeling this surge of emotion, Tsurugi tried to suppress his feelings, but to be honest, he couldn't bring himself to laugh under these circumstances.

Even if this brat is arrogant and unrepentant, this kindness should not be trampled on in this way.

Forget it, this doesn't fit the plan, but to hell with plans.

I want to fucking have some fun right now!

Tsugumi sighed and chose to leave Natsuki Subaru's body.

Rem was about to unleash a new attack when her chain hammer was caught in mid-air by a hand.

"What...what did I do wrong..." Ang cried out in despair, blood gushing from his throat.

"No, you're just unlucky—or rather, it's the world's fault," Tsugumi said gently, soothing his injuries.

"Because I didn't want to wash the cup, I didn't tell my mom anything... If I had said I was leaving..."

902 >>

As Natsuki Subaru lay dying, he struggled, vomiting blood and fragments of his internal organs, murmuring desperately.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

“Hey, sometimes I really think he’s damn arrogant, but you guys are fucking more damn arrogant than him.”

Tsugumi sighed, stood up, tilted her head to look at the fierce Rem in front of her, and revealed a cold smile that contained no hint of amusement.

Why would this world bring someone here? Is it just bad luck? Or is it some kind of deliberate act? But whatever the reason, I can't bear to see a good person being tortured and killed like this.

"You really are part of the Witch Cult!" Rem said, gripping her weapon tightly, her face filled with disgust.

"Witch? No, no, no, you've got a word wrong." Tsurugi looked at him, tilted her head, and smiled slightly.

"Not a witch, but a demon."

The next moment, he revealed his true form. Although it was only for a fleeting instant, the appearance of the Crimson King with seven horns and seven eyes appeared here.

"Ahhhh!!!"

In an instant, Rem lost all reason in fear, dropped her weapon, screamed and fell to the ground, incontinent with tears and snot streaming down her face.

"Sigh, although I was planning to profit by attaching the Crown of Arrogance to you, you've already fallen on such a pathetic state. Forget it, go home and apologize to your parents. Our contract ends here!"

Tsugumi looked at Natsuki Subaru on the ground, her face full of disgust.

"You really were lying to me. The contract clearly stated... you'd only come out when I called you." Natsuki Subaru struggled to look at Tsugumi before him, speaking haltingly.

"Get out of here, you brat, don't say things that insult my intelligence."

With a look of annoyance, Tsugumi opened the portal to the world the kid was in, then grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him in, but unexpectedly—

"You want to stop me?" Tsugumi narrowed her eyes, looking at the hooded, all-black 'Amelia' who appeared before her, and said in an icy tone.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't mind blowing this world, including you, to smithereens."

"Your Majesty, please don't do this!" The Witch of Envy pleaded, grabbing the distraught Natsuki Subaru.

"You can't save him like this, huh... His world is no longer what it is now?"

"What does it mean?"

"He... actually came to this world four hundred years ago." The Witch of Jealousy paused for a moment, then whispered the truth.

"And now, four hundred years have passed in his world, so even if he goes back, he can't return to his home."

Tsugumi closed his eyes—and after a moment, he was certain that the witch was not lying.

He frowned slightly, looking at the unconscious Natsuki Subaru, and his pity for the unfortunate fellow deepened.

"So you not only kidnapped him and made him suffer in this damn world, but you also dragged his parents out of the world to search for him and spend the rest of their lives in pain? You son of a bitch, you and this world all deserve to die!"

The witch remained silent, only holding Natsuki Subaru's hand tightly.

"Ugh—this is troublesome, this is really troublesome." Tsugumi tapped her head in exasperation and sighed.

Modifying the past would also be quite costly for Tsurugi. He had previously only modified his past world by spanning a few decades, but this time it would be a full four hundred years.

This consumption is not a proportional accumulation; the superposition of cause and effect is calculated multiplicatively. The difference in the multiple of loss between twenty years and four hundred years is at least in the triple digits. This is even considering that the cause and effect that Natsuki Subaru interfered with was destined to be less extensive than his own.

He did feel sorry for the unfortunate man, but pity and the desire not to see good people suffer were not enough to make him sacrifice such an exaggerated amount of his own money to help him for free.

After all, he wasn't her good bro; he was just an unlucky guy she felt sorry for but also thought deserved it. There were plenty of people like that.

To put it bluntly, the most he could do as a good Samaritan would be to go to the afterlife without paying anything in return, and see if he could find out where his parents' souls were. But frankly, he probably wouldn't accept doing that...

So, what should we do?

Sigh, I still have to help him—but this kid needs to prove his worth to himself!

You bastard, you'd better prepare to work for me illegally for the rest of your life!

This annoying yet pitiful guy will only help Tsurugi if he gives him everything he needs!

"Get out of here! Leave some toll money and get out of here, or I'll kill you!"

Tsugumi waved her hand dismissively, while the Witch of Jealousy bit her lip, kissed Subaru Natsuki on the lips, and then immediately left.
