I Just Wanted To Read Re: Zero, But Now I'M A Protagonist Of Eroge

Chapter 112: The beginning of the Witch Cult hunt

Subaru enjoyed his little conversation with Felix and Julius as they walked down the road towards the Mathers territory with the light of the rising sun lighting up their path, while being hugged by Ravel and Rem who did not want to let go. Subaru could only remain calm for a while, knowing that even three hours had passed since he faced off with Lady Death and now he was going to tease Lady Fate again. Subaru gulped with great difficulty at the prospect of death again, knowing that he, himself, could not bear the guilt of finally leaving this timeline and leaving the girls alone.

Julius and Felix knew that something was wrong with their friend, from the outside you could see that he was as happy as ever. But they can see that his eyes show different doubts, which they cannot recognize, the two girls also notice the tension in Subaru's body that worries him, as they continue on the journey, as they continue, the black-haired boy decided that it was time to stop. . .

"Excuse me... Now that we are close enough to Lord Mathers territory, I think we should make a plan" Subaru said making everyone stop their Liger/Earth Dragon to look at the black-haired young man.

"So, make a plan... There's something you're thinking, right?" Asked Julius who spoke on behalf of everyone in Anastasia's army, "The Perfect Knight" wanted to make sure that the plan was good enough to prevent more losses. That was why Julius asked that question, knowing that Subaru had something on his mind if he stopped them so close to reaching the Mathers Territory.

Everyone after hearing the words Julius understood what he meant, they stopped talking and went silent listening to Subaru's words. A plan that would bring them victory just as it had happened against the White Pope, the black-haired young man had risked his life to save them, the least they could do was return the favor, he said, everyone in the expedition felt some kind of friendship with them. Subaru made them confident to entrust life with the young butler.

Usually in such situations Subaru does not know what to say, but after surviving thanks to the love of the girls and assisted many times by them. They made the 29-year-old (Mental) man more confident, making everyone around him including the soldiers notice his mood swings.

"The plan is simple... Thanks to my curse, I was able to emit a strong witch scent, with which I was able to attract members of the witch sect including the Archbishop of Sloth. Petelgeuse Romanee-conti" Subaru said as he spoke about the first part of his plan, the black-haired youth waited for everyone to process his words before continuing, the soldiers who knew about the situation, including Julius, Felix, Wilhelm, Ravel and Rem. They nodded.

But there were some soldiers who came as reinforcements, who doubted Subaru's plans, those who came from the capital without fighting the White Pope, he said, they had no idea about Subaru's ability to attract all the Beastbeasts, other than filling the entire forest with the fragrance of the Witch, causing them to doubt his plans.

"Subaru. How sure are you that you can attract all cults?"

The first to speak was Julius who had heard of his ability in the negotiations that Crusch, Anastasia, and Subaru had conducted. Although he did not know the range of his scent, Knowing that his opponent spoke confidently, he believed that it was at least strong enough to attract everyone within a distance of 1 kilometer.

Hearing Julius' question, all who were doubtful about how Subaru could act as a nodding bait, agreed with the question "Perfect Knight". Subaru, seeing that, would reply, but before he could reply, the voice of an old man entered everyone's ears, interrupting Subaru's attempt to answer.

"Subaru-dono was able to attract the White Whale with his ability, making the loathsome beast only pay attention to him. If that is the case, it seems that Subaru-dono who killed the White Pope has credibility. Don't you think so?" Wilhelm said defending Subaru and answering for him, the old man has a much greater credibility in the group than any stranger, though, even though everyone who fought against the White Pope had full confidence in the young man, the reinforcements still could not tell how true Subaru's words were, hearing the Demon Sword they had no choice but to agree to Subaru's plan.

"I just need Julius to accompany me on this..." Subaru said waiting for everyone's surprise, which came a few seconds later in the form of an awkward silence and a gaze asking for an explanation. Subaru looked at everyone waiting for someone to ask something, seeing that no one said come on, he continued, looking on, 

“... The skill of laziness is simple. First he has a Hidden Hand, you must have known him, he can make a number of hands that can hit or reach something, he can even break a limb with his strength. And the second was possession ability, he could enter into people's bodies and possess them, he said, the only two requirements he needs are that the victim's body have a spiritual connection and that he has no contract with any spirit."

Subaru finished speaking as he watched everyone there listen to his words, knowing that Subaru's words seemed completely honest, making them curious about him because he knew so much about him.

Causes doubt raised by newcomers.

"And how do you know so much? Suspicious that you know so much." 

The one who asked the question was one of Pearlbaton's three brothers, Tivey who wore the same lensed glasses and orange hair as Hetaro and Mimi, asking Subaru to know he couldn't lie to them so he thought of the answer as smart as he could, perhaps giving an unclear answer was the best.

"I've seen them in person..." 

With that answer everyone fell silent, imagining Subaru had a history with them, they decided to stop asking questions and wait for Subaru's next order. 

No one could have imagined that such a direct view would be in the form of sitting in front of a television watching anime.
