Real teaching, but diary flow

This time, I was lazy.

One was so arrogant that he didn't care about the other's obedience, and the other was so furious that he lacked a sense of security and was twisted. This frightened him so much that he began to imagine what other twisted and impossible things the remaining great sins were.

But surprisingly, a lazy life is... so normal.

So normal that it seemed as if he was always meant to be this way.

but......

Do you love me?

As expected, she was the only one he could think of.

Rem, his oni maid sister who still remains unconscious after the Battle of the White Whale, is in love with him.

I can't believe there's still a possibility of me marrying Rem.

...Indeed, it was a possibility that could not possibly happen.

Despite Emilia's continued painful whispers during the trial beside him, Subaru Natsuki showed no intention of changing his mind.

He would only choose the white-haired half-elf girl beside him.

There is only this one option.

So, let's move on to the next one.

Pride, wrath, sloth... if we were to discuss these in chapters, these are the places where fatal turning points occur in every decisive event you experience.

In other words, the above IF statements can also be referred to as turning point 1, turning point 2, and turning point 3, respectively.

Doesn't it feel like a tribute?

laugh.

Although I've already wasted enough ink on you, and today's diary entry is actually way over the limit, you could even say that I should have been addressing everyone else, but this time, I've chosen to spend extra time talking about you, especially by myself.

So, let's have a little more.

What you are about to face is the 'turning point 4' that you are about to face.

The beginning of the capital, the distortion of the mansion, and the escape after the White Whale Extermination War.

The future of 'greed'.

Yes, that's right. This is the future that may happen to you, because everything from now on is an unfinished story.

So-called strong desires should naturally be the strong desire to know everything, to obtain everything, and to become everything.

The thirst for knowledge is the greatest manifestation of strong desire.

Why does one become obsessed with desire? Why does one become obsessed with desire?

Needless to say, you should be able to think of the reasons.

That's right, because of Echidna, because of the Witch of Greed, right here, within your reach.

In the testing grounds of this tomb.

Originally, she would have been there now, after you had died and returned to life, when you were thinking about who else to turn to and choosing to turn to her instead.

I have a suggestion for you.

They made a vow to overcome difficulties together in the future.

'From now on, if you encounter any insurmountable obstacles, I will overcome them with you; if you desire someone's response, I will strive to ensure you hear the words you wish to hear; when you are overwhelmed by your own sins, I will support you.'

Oh, such perfect words.

If she weren't Echidna.

The price she failed to specify in the contract, the verbal trap she so skillfully created by concealing the truth.

Its true purpose.

'What you feel, what you think, what remains in your heart, the future you know, everything you seek, the possibilities you have conceived, the fruits of your existence bearing the name of the 'unknown'—I want to experience all of these.'

That's it.

Just so.

If you fail to see through this, if you do see through this but still choose to accept the contract, if the other witches don't choose to interfere, if Satella doesn't appear.

You will then become greedy.

Try anything that's possible in this world.

Experience everything that Return from Death can offer.

If what you want is the ultimate perfect ending, then what Echidna would want is the 'read' status of the 'full text'.

Have you ever played in the corner of the wood?

In the settings, text that has been read once can be highlighted in color and can be skipped by selecting a filter.

What she wanted was to turn all the text gray.

I read it, I experienced it, and then I lost interest.

Only in this very last moment.

Only then will she be able to lead you to the perfect ending you desire.

But... when that time actually comes, will you still expect such a thing?

This journey ended with an unfinished story.

The new text hasn't fallen after the page has been turned, so there's still time for a buffer.

Subaru Natsuki's breathing paused slightly.

He was still stuck on those last words.

...This is lust.

It's not Subaru Natsuki with a thirst for power, but Echidna with a thirst for power.

This witch, with her overwhelming presence, corrupted 'Natsuki Subaru,' who seemed to embody the very essence of original sin in other routes.

It should have been his path, his possibility, his "if," and his original sin.

But all of it—

But it became Echidna's possession.

in case.

Fortunately, we haven't reached that "what if" point yet.

This is something to be thankful for... perhaps.

His emotions were once again stirred by the words before him.

The calm yet gentle line of indolence is like a buffer, just to give him time to calm down, and to reveal such a truth to him at this moment through this line of strong desire.

The true face of Echidna, the Witch of Greed.

...No, it hasn't reached the point of revealing its true nature yet.

Natsuki Subaru could sense how powerful Echidna's desires were, deep within the words, in the stone chamber where he was, on the other side of the trial, and at the witch's tea party.

That is something that cannot be fully expressed in simple words at this moment.

and so.

There are three deadly sins remaining.

Gluttony, jealousy, and... lust.

My lust...?

Just as Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but think about it.

After a long hiatus, I've started writing in my diary again.

Stop posting about being in heat, I'm going to throw up, I'm not writing anymore if you post this again.

Damn it, even a dog could tell what you were thinking.

Forget about the erotic line; it doesn't exist. That thing is terrible, as terrible as cheesy erotic fantasies, completely abandoning any semblance of rationality. If you had to say what might lead to the creation of the erotic line, it would be if you suddenly found a hypnosis app.

So get lost.

Who told you there would definitely be seven lines, seven deadly sins, and seven possibilities?

I never said that.

This is merely a possibility that will not happen; it is a possibility that is absolutely impossible.

It's not Subaru Natsuki's Seven Deadly Sins.

Although each possibility may be somewhat related to a serious crime, you should avoid it.

You are by the roadside.

"Cough cough..."

Here it comes, the familiar insults. Although he had just been insulted today, after reading the descriptions of the four IF scenarios, Natsuki Subaru actually felt a little happy about the insults directed at him.

He admitted he was being overly optimistic, but there was nothing he could do about it. Every man has those kinds of thoughts!

Moreover, it was just a thought, a fleeting thought, and it absolutely did not mean that he intended to betray Emilia.

He was devoted to Emilia!

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please continue writing, Godfather. Don't mind this idiot who had his head filled with lust."

He slammed his palms together and then bowed his head heavily with a sharp thud.

Actually, speaking of the "desire line," I'd really like to play you a song.

Willing to Serve

But whatever, you're not a possessive person. This stinky jealousy is just pretending to understand others, and it makes me want to vomit.

So that's how it is.

I've removed the erotic lines for you.

What remains is gluttony and envy.

Without a doubt, you are currently on the path of jealousy.

You are the witch's darling, you are the one Satella loves, and there is no one else who can be called 'jealous' except you.

Each death and return is a practice of the Witch of Envy's creed, and each death and return brings her one step closer to becoming the Witch of Envy.

But it's okay, it's okay.

This is the most correct route, this is the direction without any turning points.

So there's no need to worry.

As for binge eating, oh, binge eating.

I won't go into detail about binge eating; it's something that can be covered in a few sentences.

In the distant future, after you have transcended the sacred realm and overcome the present tribulations, when you are able to advance your story into the next chapter, and the chapter after that.

You will face "Turning Point 5" called "Gluttony" in the Tower of the Sage.

Oh, gluttony, gluttony that devours memories.

—You will lose all your memories.

Returning to the state of having just arrived in the other world.

A bewildered self, an empty self, yet existing within the interpersonal relationships established here.

Who is the person they are looking to? Who is the person they trust? Is the one who has achieved such success really a man named 'Natsuki Subaru'?

You need to find yourself again; you want to regain your memories.

and so.

When a book called the Book of the Dead falls into your hands, and you can use it to begin reading about the lives of others, you can glimpse a corner of the man named 'Natsuki Subaru' in their past.

Then the binge eating began.
