All the squads parted, moving around the prairie carefully. Subaru stood beside Rem and Ravel, waiting for the right moment to attack.
While all this was happening, Crusch's mind was completely immersed in one thing, 'Kill the Pope'. Although he was prepared to lose, he did not expect it to happen so quickly, just the thought of losing so many soldiers and an entire army, made Crusch's head boil, but not with anger, but with determination.
The determination to finish off this filthy beast once and for all, with such a thought ordered the soldiers, to take a different direction, he said, while where the White Whale would most likely carry a cannon with it would be enough to distract him. Give enough time for the other troops to come to the rescue.
And all the expeditionary forces were scattered around the place, the atmosphere was really tense. Because they did not know when the White Whale would attack, letting doubt rule the minds of the soldiers, even though this time the troops were protected by Subaru's sword. The fear is still in everyone's heart.
"Bag, Ravel. I have an idea... It's very risky... Will you help me?" Subaru asked while he was still hesitant to include Ravel and Rem in his plan, but now it was more important to end the Pope.
"I will follow you to the end of the world, Subaru." Rem said while curled up on Subaru's chest, the girl had given her consent and was ready for anything to come.
"I-I'll help you, but you better be grateful. Hmphh!" Ravel said as she stuttered with a red face, the truth that the answer was good enough for Subaru to understand what he meant, after all, otherwise Subaru would not be proud to call himself "Expert Tsunderes".
"Perfect, Raven. Can you use wind magic? One that is strong enough to clear the fog from the meadow for about 10 seconds.” Subaru asked with a nervous smile, the black-haired young man needed the help of the two, especially the fire and wind magic of the Phoenix Family.
"I can do that. After all, I am a bishop and a member of the Phoenix Family." Ravel said proudly. As she seemed to understand what Subaru wanted, the Phoenix girl spoke her mind to Subaru.
“You want me to clear the Mist so you can find the Pope, right?” Ravel asked as she guessed Subaru's plan, the black-haired young man nodded, giving a yes answer.
At that moment Subaru's plan became a little clearer in Rem's mind, the blue-haired maid was very worried about Subaru's mind because what her lover planned was something very dangerous.
"You want to attract the White Whale with the scent of a Witch, that's a good plan but... Do you have a way to attack him?" Rem asked slightly trembling at the thought of seeing Subaru die, he was not prepared to lose Subaru.
Subaru shook his head, he knew Rem was very worried about how unsafe his plan was, but wanting to avoid more losses was the only way, he would save them and he was 80% sure it will work, the other 20. It will be a sure death.
"I have a way, so Rem, believe me, I promise to come back alive and with victory in my hands. I'm your hero and I assure you that I will succeed." Subaru reassured as he stroked Rem's head, and brandished it with a confident smile, Rem could not help but be embarrassed to see his Hero like that.
"S-Subaru, according to my estimation, I can eliminate the Mist for 25 seconds." Ravel said a little jealous of Rem, but now helping Subaru is more important than anything.
"You're great Ravel!" Subaru said happily while hugging Ravel, after a few seconds of hugging, Subaru stopped to continue the conversation
When he finished speaking, Rem and Ravel nodded and jumped off Patrasche. Subaru could only watch the two girls leave. Subaru knew that if he shouted, the two girls would hear him, so with a smile, he shouted.
"REM!! REVEL!! I LOVE YOU!!!” After shouting those words, Subaru stood still for a few seconds before…

Subaru, looking at the system box, smiled boldly, just by looking at it made him brave. If with a hug he felt he could make a small cut on Reinhard's finger, now he felt he could defeat him.
"Good..." Subaru whispered to himself, the boy only closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening it and pointing his finger at the random direction "I'll beat you up, this story will turn into Moby **** 2. ******!"
As if the White Pope had heard it, he gave a shout in response to subaru's provocation, as if it was mocking Subaru, as if, the black-haired youth widened his smile only to then point Patrasche towards the source of the shout.
That day a Hero was born, who until many years later would be remembered for a certain landscape, his legend would be told as a story for children and sung by Bards.
But how it really happened, no one knows. Except the soldiers there.
