Pirate World
The Straw Hat Pirates
When Sanji saw Echidna, his body began to twist again, and love hearts appeared in his eyes.
"Oh my god, it's another white-haired beauty! I refuse to believe this is the witch who would destroy the world!"
Sanji had always been very accurate in judging people, especially women, so he was even more convinced.
Chopper's face fell, and he hid behind Brook in fear.
"But isn't this witch already dead?"
He thought she was also the kind that came back from the dead, or was a ghost!
Usopp put on his anti-ghost gear and looked like he was keeping spirits at bay.
"That's just a legend! It can't be taken seriously!"
Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World
People from all countries were stunned.
"Is this the Witch of Greed? Why is she still alive?"
Why was this person, who had been dead for hundreds of years and devoured by the Witch of Envy, still alive?
Could it be that she wasn't truly dead and had been hiding in the shadows?
Ordinary, less mature people looked at the Witch and gradually began to lose their rationality, falling into madness and vomiting incessantly.
Especially the people of this world.
Roswaal Mansion
"Mother..."
Beatrice's tears kept falling. The figure she missed so much had appeared before her.
Only now did she finally understand Roswaal's goal. He truly wanted to resurrect Echidna!
"But can she really be resurrected?"
Why would Echidna seek out Natsuki Subaru? Wasn't this a trial for Emilia?
Was Natsuki Subaru also qualified for the trial?
[The Screen Continues]
[Natsuki Subaru looked at Echidna above and felt chills running down his spine. The legendary witch suddenly appearing like this would make anyone wary...]
[Echidna saw Natsuki Subaru's caution and looked very sad. She was just an innocent and lovely girl~]
[Subaru remained unmoved and did not take a step forward...]
[According to Echidna, he had merely been invited to the Witch's Tea Party...]
[Echidna's leisurely posture showed no hostility at all. Natsuki Subaru approached her with an anxious heart...]
[Subaru, adopting a "do-or-die" attitude, drank the tea in front of him in one gulp...]
[Echidna seemed a little surprised, her eyes wide as she praised, "You are so brave... You actually drank what the witch offered in one go..."]
[Subaru was nonchalant. If she wanted to kill him, she would have done it long ago...]
["It doesn't taste good, but it's not bad either. What kind of tea is this?"]
[Echidna smiled and said in a joking tone, "Because it's produced here... what should I say... Just my bodily fluids..."]
[Natsuki Subaru's reaction amused her greatly. Normally, people would lose their minds just being near a witch...]
[But he didn't!]
Within the Sanctuary
"Ah, Natsuki is so lucky~"
Roswaal, covered in injuries, showed a rather envious expression.
How many years had passed?
He had finally met the teacher he admired so much.
This joy was complicated because he wasn't the one chosen by Echidna.
"Natsuki Subaru, you are making me more and more interested!"
Ram, holding a basin, stood at the door with a complicated expression.
[On the Screen]
[Echidna's deep pupils stared at the young man before her, asking him what he wanted to know...]
[Ordinary people don't get many chances to speak with the Witch of Greed...]
[As her words fell, everything around them began to dissipate until it turned into chaos...]
[In the chaos, Echidna spoke the real names of the witches one by one, until she said her own name as if mocking herself...]
[The Witch of Gluttony – Daphne, the Witch of Lust – Carmilla, the Witch of Wrath – Minerva, the Witch of Sloth – Sekhmet, the Witch of Pride – Typhon, the Witch of Greed – Echidna...]
["Or is it the Witch of Envy, who devours all other witches as her own sustenance and becomes the enemy of the world?..."]
["That taboo one... she..."]
[Witch of Envy – Satella!]
[A dark phantom lingered in Subaru's heart like a terrifying night...]
[Just uttering the name frightened him...]
The people stood there blankly, as if petrified. This was the first time they had learned the true names of the witches.
They had originally thought it was just a legend, but now they were being told it was true.
"Could it be that the Witch of Envy, Satella, isn't dead yet and is waiting for resurrection?"
Legend said she had been sealed. Was she now going to break the seal and devour the world again?
Who could save them then? It was the First Sword Saint who had fought to seal her away!
As people panicked, Reid Astrea stood up.
He had the confidence to deal with the Witch of Envy!
[On the Screen]
[Echidna wouldn't say any more, otherwise Natsuki Subaru would be scared out of his wits...]
[Suddenly, Subaru felt a cramp in his abdomen and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know what was happening...]
["Hmm... It's faster than expected. Those who are compatible will indeed merge quickly..."]
[Subaru had drunk Echidna's bodily fluids, activating the Sloth Witch Factor within him and enhancing his resistance...]
[If not for the Witch Factor in his body, he would have collapsed the moment he entered the tomb...]
[When he heard this was a tomb, Subaru was completely dumbfounded...]
[This was the Witch's Tomb, where Echidna's soul was imprisoned after her death...]
[It could also be called the Sanctuary!]
[Subaru learned about the Sanctuary and planned to leave...]
[This time, it was Echidna's turn to be dumbfounded. She waved to him and asked with a confused look, "Um... Is there nothing you want to ask me?"]
[She was an all-knowing wise person. Finally having someone to chat with, she just wanted to show off the vastness of her knowledge...]
["Sorry... compared to chatting with you... I'd rather meet Emilia outside more..."]
[Subaru turned and left, while Echidna anxiously tried to persuade him to stay from behind...]
["I'm the Witch of Greed..."]
["The powerful figures of the world covet my knowledge... They try their best to seek me out..."]
["Um..."]
[Subaru looked back at her indifferently and said disgustedly, "I'm not interested." ...]
[Discussing knowledge was impossible in this lifetime, not to mention he was still illiterate. How long would such a discussion take?...]
[Right now, he was more worried about Emilia's safety...]
[In the end, he made a contract with the witch not to reveal the Tea Party. This was the condition...]
[At the same time, Subaru gained the qualification to challenge the trials of the Sanctuary!]
Within Various Countries
"This arrogant otherworlder! He actually rejected the Witch of Greed!"
When those knowledgeable people saw this scene, they were so angry they nearly gritted their teeth to pieces.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With her wisdom, dominating the world might not be impossible!
"Let's go! To the Sanctuary!"
Those in power wanted to head to the Sanctuary immediately but were stopped. That place wasn't somewhere you could just go casually!
In the Sanctuary
Echidna was numb, completely numb. The contract was now exposed to the entire world.
"I really wish I could invite the owner of this light screen to taste my tea!"
"I'm a very kind... Magician!"
Echidna, who was sleeping, suddenly shivered and almost woke up.
This wouldn't do. This kind of tea was best reserved for those willing to drink it.
[On the Screen]
[Subaru successfully left the Witch's Tomb and emerged outside, only to see Otto being knocked to the ground...]
["He actually came out of a place like that openly!"]
["What courage! Foreigner!"]
[Subaru was grabbed with one hand and thrown high into the air!]
[Seeing this, the ground dragon rushed over quickly. A divine dragon swung its tail, saving Subaru...]
["What a good ground dragon!"]
[The yellow-haired boy had an X-shaped white scar on his face, a strong physique, a set of sharp teeth, and a beast-like aura about him...]
[However, Subaru timely mentioned Sister Jaffa's name, thus avoiding a beating...]
[Everyone followed Jaffa to the village where the demi-humans lived...]
[There, they saw Roswaal, covered in bandages...]
[This was the first time Subaru had seen him look so disheveled...]
[After understanding the situation, they planned to pass the tomb's trials to break the Sanctuary's barrier, allowing the people living here to go outside...]
[At night, Emilia stepped into the glowing tomb, but not long after entering, the light dissipated...]
[Worried about Emilia's safety, Subaru rushed in and saw the girl lying on the ground...]
[The moment he touched the girl, he felt dizzy...]
["First, you must face your past..."]
[A loud voice sounded in his ears...]
[When he woke up again, he found himself in his bedroom at home...]
In Subaru's Original World
"Is he back? Has he really come back?"
Naoko, Subaru's mother, was overjoyed to see her son return.
In that other world, the suffering he endured had nearly driven her mad.
Subaru's repeated deaths and mental breakdowns plunged her into deep self-blame. Why hadn't she gone out with him that day?
"He must come back, don't go to any other world again!"
Naoko lay limp in Kenichi's arms. She had hardly eaten these past few days. Every time she saw Subaru die, she would faint.
"He has his own choices..."
Kenichi trembled. He also wanted his son to return, but could he?
If he couldn't return, he hoped he would suffer less in that world and just be an ordinary person.
This was their most ordinary, yet now seemingly unattainable, wish.
[On the Screen]
[Subaru looked around blankly. This bedroom was so familiar it felt unreal...]
[Suddenly, a burly man burst through the door...]
["Good morning! Son!"]
[Kenichi suddenly leaped up and landed on him, almost crushing the life out of his dad...]
["He... Hello! What's wrong! What's wrong!"]
["Why do you look like you've seen your dad naked first thing in the morning?"]
[Before he could react, Kenichi hit his throat again, almost making him choke...]
[The pain in Subaru's body seemed to confirm that this was reality, not some illusion...]
[After experiencing a brief family life, Subaru seemed somewhat confused...]
[Kenichi, seeing his son like this, took him outside for a walk. They met the neighbors, who asked why he wasn't at school since it was Monday...]
[Subaru didn't dwell on the topic and quickly turned to leave...]
[A man sat dejectedly on a chair, his eyes vacant...]
[Kenichi also knew the reason his son didn't want to go to school and sat quietly beside him...]
[The breeze, carrying the scent of flowers, gently brushed past the father and son. Kenichi raised his head and gazed ahead...]
["I don't care what society generally thinks..."]
["I don't think school is everything... Isn't that fine?"]
[Subaru lowered his head and murmured, "Why?... Why are you suddenly saying this to me today?"]
["Today isn't a special day, is it?..."]
["It's just Aomame Day, right?..."]
[Kenichi seemed relieved, looking up at the sky, his voice soft but very gentle...]
["You looked good this morning... Like a person..."]
["Like a person?"]
["I'm talking about your complexion. Your eyes still look like your mother's, like a rascal!"]
[Subaru subconsciously covered his eyes and suddenly felt great pain...]
[A gentle voice came from somewhere...]
["It's been hard..."]
[Silver hair danced before Subaru's eyes. He turned his head and looked forward. It was blurry, but he knew that figure haunted him, and the bell-like voice struck his soul...]
["Thank you! Hold your head high!"]
["Who are you?"]
["Thank you for coming to help me!"]
[Subaru had endless questions in his heart. Who is this? Who is it?]
[His eyes began to moisten, and it felt like something was stuck in his throat...]
[May the spirits bless you.]
[The lingering sound kept circulating in Subaru's ears...]
[Until his memory was awakened, that gentle and lovely figure was reflected in his pupils...]
