I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Natsuki Subaru thought to himself.

Will she listen to my request?

【...】

The voice in his heart paused noticeably for a moment, then entered Natsuki Subaru's heart with a silvery laugh.

What are you hesitating about?

---Will the Witch of Jealousy really grant my request and resurrect Emilia and the others?

What are you hesitating about?

---【Would a wicked witch who devoured most of the world really be so kind to me?】

What are you doubting?

---【Even though she kept saying she loved me, she still summoned me into this world and gave me a curse of "Return by Death." Did she really do this to me because she loved me? How could someone who loves another subject their beloved to such cruel torment?】

Hehe~~!

The sound of returning to the end carried a sigh and a cold laugh.

【Then, Mr. Natsuki Subaru, please think it over carefully.】

If you had never met Emilia, what would your life in this world be like?

Is returning from death truly a blessing of suffering? Or is the method you use not what the person receiving it originally hoped for?

-----【I can......】

Subaru Natsuki lowered his head.

My mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, constantly swirling and confusing.

He recalled the afternoon when he first traveled to this world.

He had just finished buying things at the convenience store and walked out the door when he arrived in this world.

There was no magic circle to summon heroes from another world, nor was there a princess or king specifically responsible for explaining things.

As I walked past the apple vendor's stall, only the now-familiar sound of resurrection echoed...

"Ah~~~!"

I now know that it was the call of the Witch of Envy.

But if he hadn't entered that alley and hadn't been beaten up by those three thugs, he might never have seen Emilia again.

What was he doing at that time?

Perhaps they live cautiously, supporting themselves by working in taverns while trying to learn magic.

---Perhaps I will pick up my neglected swordsmanship again.

---Or, I might get to know Ferut, since I'll probably be living in the slums by then.

----By the way, maybe I can exchange my cell phone for some money.

---Ha, what am I even thinking?

Do you understand?

The voice of Master Guizhong's wife echoed in his heart once again.

Ah! I understand a little better now.

[If there were no return from death, and no chat group, what would you be like in this world?]

---It's probably like a helpless stray dog, wandering around, and then dying somewhere no one will know.

So, do you fully understand now?

---Yes, I completely understand.

So what did you understand?

Natsuki Subaru lowered his head and closed his eyes, responding in his mind.

---【Returning from death is not a curse, but rather the witch's love for me out of jealousy】

---【I came into this world alone, with no relatives or friends. If I hadn't died and returned to the world, I probably would have become food for wild dogs long ago.】

So, when she kept saying she loved me, it wasn't just empty words, it was real.

---【And I am the one who is never satisfied, always shifting the blame onto others.】

---【I chose the dangerous and deadly path myself, so why should I complain that she gave me a return to death?】

--【The pain I experienced was not what she wanted, but rather my own choice.】

So, do you know what you should do?

Natsuki Subaru raised his head and looked at the girl figure that was slowly moving in the distance.

He responded with a smile.

Yes, I understand.

Chapter 48 I Love You----I Must Save You (1)

--That's right. Since I transmigrated into this world, the witch of jealousy has not caused me any harm whatsoever.

--Although she hurt many people I know, this time she also completely devoured Emilia and the others.

---But she didn't hurt me at all, except for me.

---She granted me the blessing of [Return by Death] so that I could survive well in this miserable, chaotic world full of death and tragedy.

---She didn't want to see me miserable, but rather to save me from my misery.

Natsuki Subaru figured all this out and then couldn't help but want to curse his past self.

Such simple logic, yet you can't even understand it.

I used to be such a hopeless idiot, a moron, a useless NEET!

---Jealous Witch, don't worry, I'm coming to your aid.

Thinking this, Natsuki Subaru stood up, looked at Jiafeier who had been staring at him strangely since the beginning, and said calmly.

"Jiafeier, I need to talk to He about something."

"What??" Jiafei'er's tone remained extremely unfriendly.

"I might have a way to revive everyone," Natsuki Subaru said earnestly.

"Huh?! Have you finally gone mad?" Jiafei looked at Natsuki Subaru as if he were an idiot.

“Of course not, but there’s no other way anyway. So what if you believe my crazy talk? Neither of us will lose anything more.” Natsuki Subaru spread his hands and said with an extremely calm smile, “In any case, it’s worth trying, right?”

"Hmph! Then you say it." Jia Feier snorted coldly, crossing her arms.

"I want to speak with the Witch of Jealousy and have her resurrect everyone she killed in the Sanctuary." Natsuki Subaru said each word with utmost seriousness.

"Ha! You really have gone mad, Natsuki Subaru." Jiafei laughed. "Instead of killing that jealous witch who destroyed your beloved Emilia, you want to talk to her? Are you kidding me??"

“Of course I’m not crazy.” Natsuki Subaru squinted at the giant girl figure in the distance that was still moving slowly, and laughed: “On the contrary, I’m better than ever before. My mind is clear, my thoughts are clear, I know what I’m doing, and I know what I should be doing.”

"You just need to create a space where I and that jealous witch can talk alone. Is there such a place around here?"

Jiafei stared into Natsuki Subaru's eyes, paused for a few seconds, and then pursed her lips.

"...There is one."

"where?"

"Of course, it's the Holy Tomb you just came out of; even the Black Ocean can't spread into the Holy Tomb."

"Oh~~~! Let's go then." Natsuki Subaru raised his arm and gave Jiafei a thumbs up.

"Let's salvage everything without using the [Foul] buff."

......

A few minutes later.

In front of the giant black-clad female doll.

The unrestrained Son of Storms, with a bright white halo above his head, black and white wings covering his body, hands in his pockets, has an arrogant demeanor.

"Hey! Where are you going?!"

The answer from One-Way Street is an arrow formed from countless black ocean currents surging from the black sea.

Swish!

The sound of something cutting through the air came crashing in.

The entire forest was covered by this enormous rain of arrows.

Accelerator chuckled dismissively and waved his hand casually.

The bright white headband that was constantly gathering and rotating above his head suddenly emitted a radiance that permeated everything.

Wow!

Endless beams of high-energy plasma shone in all directions, evaporating every black rain of arrows into nothingness, disappearing into the world.

Then, a huge beam of light that illuminated all darkness suddenly pierced through the chest of the girl's humanoid form.

The enormous black girl, draped in a veil that resembled starlight, tried to resist using the black ocean, but to no avail.

In just a moment, her upper body was completely evaporated.

The attack was clearly effective.

Accelerator burst into unrestrained laughter: "What witch? What evil person who devoured half the world? Hahaha, none of them are a match for me."

As he spoke, the pure white, blazing halo above his head flickered repeatedly, its radiance almost completely illuminating the gloomy sky.

Then, dozens of enormous beams of light, no less powerful than the previous ones, slammed into the spot where the Witch of Jealousy had stood.

Boom!

Wow!
