Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but just as Natsuki Subaru was thinking about whether to come back another time, the door suddenly opened by itself.

The girl who walked out of the door—with her alluring eyes that symbolized amethyst and her breathtaking beauty—was the very figure he had been constantly searching for.

However, before Natsuki Subaru could call out the girl's name, the girl exclaimed in surprise, "Subaru?"

"It's Subaru... Wait, I didn't get it wrong this time?"

In the past, when the girl named Satella called out her own name, she always liked to deliberately pronounce it as something like Barus, Verus, or Sparta. This time, she suddenly pronounced it in a normal way, which surprised Subaru Natsuki.

However, this also proves that the girl's feelings are unusual right now.

"Sorry, we have urgent business to attend to right now, so we probably don't have time to chat with you." The girl's words confirmed Natsuki Subaru's guess.

—This must be related to Satella Carbon's sister, Emilia.

Having made this judgment, Subaru Natsuki turned his gaze to another silver-haired half-elf.

The girl named Emilia was now nestled in her sister's arms, crying. The crying just now must have been hers. Natsuki Subaru found it hard to imagine what could have happened to make the girl cry like that.

However, these are not things that Natsuki Subaru needs to consider right now. He rushed here for his own purpose.

"Satella, you absolutely must not return to the border manor during this time. There's a gigantic whale-like monster lurking on the road. I was previously..."

At this point, Subaru Natsuki suddenly stammered, unsure how to continue, because even he himself hadn't figured out what state he was in.

However, Satella seemed to understand something, nodding and murmuring, "So that's how it is, that makes sense, that makes sense..."

Completely bewildered, Natsuki Subaru wanted to ask her what she had understood, but Satella raised her head, her jewel-like eyes filled with determination staring at him, and said, "The magical beast you encountered should be the White Whale, one of the three great magical beasts. I will defeat it, but not now. I have more important things to do now."

"—!"

Subaru Natsuki was certainly familiar with the White Whale, a magical beast; in fact, he had heard Reinhard mention it more than once.

This monster has ravaged the kingdom for over a century, killing countless merchants and destroying countless villages, bringing immense harm to the kingdom.

The kingdom has organized several expeditions to subdue it, yet it has survived to this day, which shows just how powerful it is.

Although I have never doubted Satella's strength, logically speaking, as a Dragon Envoy whose strength surpasses that of the Sword Saint Reinhard, it should be a matter of course for Satella to kill the White Whale in an instant.

Regardless of the comparison of strength, Natsuki Subaru wanted to stop Satella from going into danger simply out of concern for the girl he admired, but before he could speak—

"Big sister, go and deal with the white whale."

Wiping away her tears, Emilia, with a resolute expression, said, "In your plan, you had to kill the White Whale with your own hands, didn't you? Leave that person to me!"

That person?

who is it?

As if answering Subaru Natsuki's question, Satella said somewhat anxiously, "Lia, I understand how you feel, but that person is the Archbishop of Sloth!"

"I know my older sister cares about me."

The girl smiled as bravely as a kapok flower: "But a fledgling eagle that is always protected can never grow up. I, Lia, am very happy to have someone as capable as my older sister to rely on, but I also aspire to grow up to be like my older sister... So, older sister, please leave this to me, and he is someone I must deal with!"

“…I understand.” Emilia’s resolute gaze made Satella relent: “However, after killing the White Whale, I will come to your aid. This is my commitment as your older sister!”

"Then, my dear sister, let's make a bet and see who can defeat their opponent first."

"Sure, the loser has to agree to one thing unconditionally!"

"no problem!"

Chapter 94 Before the Final Battle Begins

After a brief discussion at the entrance, Satella and Emilia parted ways. Satella went to the Karlsten family mansion, while Emilia went to the place she remembered vividly from the previous cycle.

—Subaru Natsuki went through a cycle of life and death, and during that time, Satella certainly couldn't have done nothing.

In fact, no sooner had Subaru Natsuki left the royal capital than Satella and Emilia embarked on their own journey.

But an accident occurred.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, they lost their way on their journey home and had to spend the night in a cave.

Then he encountered the Archbishop of Sloth, the chief sinner of the Witch Cult.

Life's encounters are truly wondrous. Yesterday, I was thinking of using Subaru Natsuki to lure out the White Whale and Sloth, and today, by sheer coincidence, I found myself spending the night in a cave.

A battle ensued, and Satella, who had gained the upper hand, unleashed the holy spell "Holy Dispel" on him, whose true form was an evil elf, in an attempt to completely eradicate Sloth.

Just as it's common knowledge that healing spells can damage undead monsters, Satella believed that the [Divine Dispel] spell, infused with holy power, should also damage sloth.

however……

"call--"

Satella let out a soft breath, rubbed her cheeks, and her red-purple eyes still held an expression of disbelief.

What happened next was a direct challenge to her limits as an anime enthusiast.

After all, who could have imagined that Petyrcius Romanicunti, who held the position of Bishop of Sloth in the Cult of Witches, would be Emilia's beloved adoptive father...

It's no surprise that Emilia, who was at the center of the incident, reacted so strongly to something that even Satella found shocking.

To be honest, Satella, who has only watched the anime, doesn't think Emilia is a match for Sloth. However, Satella has an unparalleled intelligence advantage, plus the items Satella gave Emilia and Puck's presence. So theoretically, Emilia should have a higher chance of winning.
