Even so, he still wanted to ask.

Is this really interesting?

Although Echidna had peeked into her own memories, and although she had created such a dream,

But it felt so real and vivid; all the reactions were just like the ones I remembered.

It makes you want to lean on it, makes you want to drop all your inhibitions and rush into its arms to cry your heart out.

That's why he chose to reconcile at that time.

Otherwise, the emotions in your heart will feel like needles stuck in your throat, constantly piercing and piercing through, leaving one wound after another that is difficult to heal.

But, but, but...

It's a statement that also looks so real and convincing.

This missing person notice, however, turned into a gun being pressed against his chest.

A gunshot ripped a huge hole in his chest.

So, the next moment of anger.

And then there will be such an emptiness in my heart.

Why?

Is this really that interesting?

You guys, one by one—

"--Pleiades?"

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Suddenly, Natsuki Subaru looked up and realized that he seemed to have arrived at his destination, the grave he had chosen as his final resting place.

It seemed as if they noticed his presence, as if they sensed his arrival.

With her long, straight silver hair and violet-blue eyes, she was a half-elf beauty so perfect that he was so captivated by her.

She took his hand.

With a thud, the diary in my hand closed and fell to the ground.

The reading, which was not yet finished and still had text to come, was interrupted at this moment.

Then, before we had even noticed it, the sound of the rabbit tearing and biting came like a tidal wave.

The Sanctuary was covered in snow, but the graveyard below was warm enough. Standing between the two, Subaru Natsuki felt both cold and warm.

The large rabbits had already gathered outside the cemetery.

He will die.

And the girl in front of me was the same.

So in these final moments.

Dying with her would be the best option.

My body inexplicably felt weak, even though I hadn't run hard or pushed myself too hard.

But perhaps my emotions were too strong just now. When I calmed down, when I relaxed, when I could feel the presence of the girl in front of me.

Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but become so relaxed.

—He died.

He died in the arms of the woman he loved, in a kiss from a young girl that was filled with the aura of 'death'.

then.

He opened his eyes again.

'Return from Death'.

The hard, cold ground, as always, awakened Subaru Natsuki.

This is a dimly lit stone chamber—the graveyard, the location of the "trial".

He died here, and he awoke here.

Time has returned to the moment before anything even began.

That Gospel, that book of wisdom, that diary.

...He hasn't finished reading it yet.

That book wasn't in Roswaal's hands, nor in Beatrice's hands, nor in the hands of those witch-witch-worshipping madmen of the Witch Cult.

What makes that book even more special is that it was given to him by a malicious individual who had been spying on all his experiences in his previous life and peeping into his past memories.

I have absolutely no idea when that guy started paying attention to me.

However, his actions will definitely change this time, since the diary did not appear in the previous Return of Death, or even in the earlier Return of Death events.

This means that he probably won't encounter that guy again this time, after his actions have changed.

Sorry?

Not really regrettable.

The other party claimed to be stronger than Satella, but Return of Death still rewound everything.

In other words, this is nothing but empty talk, mere boasting, elevating oneself to a high position and setting up a benchmark for comparison.

When someone says that he is comparable to someone else, it usually means that he is definitely inferior to that person.

The same goes for diaries.

"..."

He'll find that guy if he gets the chance.

But not now. This time, he needs to review his previous death and find a breakthrough.

He shakily got up, feeling his body, which didn't actually have any wounds but still felt somewhat unreal, hazy, and powerless. He changed his posture and looked to his side.

There will be a young girl here.

A beautiful, charming, silver-haired half-elf girl.

Emilia is currently undergoing a trial.

Emilia is experiencing a past she cannot wake up from, a past she is trapped in.

Gently, he placed his gaze on the girl, and gently, he placed his lips on his parched lips.

No sensation remained.

Because death is death.

There's no need to feel sorry about it, because he still has things to do.

Organize, think, and find a way out.

Having withdrawn his gaze and feeling slightly relieved, Natsuki Subaru confirmed once again that the Return by Death had been activated as usual, and was about to begin his recap.

—"Snap."

It was like a wriggling, throbbing motion, clear, but only audible to oneself.

A voice echoed in the stone chamber.

"..."

Breathing stopped.

—Hey, hey, hey, that can't be right, can it?

With a click, it felt as if a frame of rhythm had been ripped from my heart.

Immediately afterwards, the rhythm that had been taken away was replaced many times over, thump thump, thump thump thump, and my heart began to beat violently.

This is the first time.

For the first time, something broke through the death return.

Is it really true?

'I will be stronger than Satella'

Such words do not seem to be unfounded.

Upon careful reflection, Natsuki Subaru was able to sense something was amiss after the reset caused by death.

The process of his last death, returning to the grave, returning to the stone chamber.

...It went too smoothly.

The giant rabbit was right in front of them, and everyone in the Holy Land was being ravaged by it.

But somehow, he was able to easily 'walk' to his destination while flipping through his diary.

They didn't even run.

When did I become so powerful?

No, I am not the powerful one.

It was this diary.

He had experienced death, being completely devoured by a large rabbit.

There was absolutely nothing about him that Big Rabbit could so readily avoid.

Besides the book I just received.

The thoughts in my head were buzzing and chaotic, but my trembling hand couldn't help but reach for the book.

...It might not be that it broke through the death return barrier, but rather that it had been watching it from that moment on.

Just now, it read its own memories, which is why it behaved this way.

That's right, that's exactly it.

Despite thinking this, Natsuki Subaru still picked up the book and turned the pages.

It was proactive, and it seems that the reading history has been documented.

With just a quick flip, he arrived at the last page he had just read.

That missing person poster.

"..."

[Very interesting.]

The first sentence that appeared after flipping through the missing person notice was a response to his emotional outburst not long ago.

Why would I come to you if you're not interesting? Why would I bother with you if you're not interesting?

I only do things because they're interesting, you know?

As for whether it's a joke or not, hey hey hey, you're happy when Echidna plays the illusion, but you're unhappy when I play and you even breathe on me, right?

Let me tell you, someone of your caliber isn't qualified to criticize me.

Don't you have any self-awareness?

Is it because I'm not a pretty girl?

Ok?

Just because I'm not a pretty girl?!

I'm going to say it very loudly.

Sigh, it's so nice to be a beautiful girl. She can easily receive love from others and easily have devoted fans who would risk their lives for her.

No matter how many difficulties they encounter, no matter how many times they die, they will still be loved.

—I also like pretty girls.

Natsuki Subaru had a strange feeling that he was being subtly criticized.

But there's no evidence.
