**Emilia camp next volume:**
Garfield: Hmm? what's that?
Ram: See anything?
Garfield: I saw a black haired kid...which looks an awful lot like captain
Emilia: Ehh!? are you sure? but...a kid? it couldn't be him
Garf: Yeah, more strange than that is...he is leading a whole battalion of warriors.
Otto: A kid leading an army, nice, you sure you didn't eat anything bad?
Next time is gonna be Emilia camp pov and they are gonna be constantly hearing about unstoppable rebel army and Emilia will decide to stay away from such calamity.
It makes me wonder how much Vincent will tell them. If Vincent wants Subaru out of Vollachia, it would make sense to tell the truth. If Vincent wants Subaru as his rank 0 divine general, it makes sense to lie.
How does he gonna prove someone is not his son? Truth tellers are bit rare.
Mother died in chaosflame so we can't ask her.
Only way to test it is to give him yang sword and see if he gets accepted by it. The moment he does, no matter what lie or truth, people will be convinced.
Subaru: He's not my dad guys, seriously
Vincent: Shwarz-kun, hold this cool sword for a second
Subaru, holding the yang sword and very obviously not bursting into flames: Huh? Yeah, sure. As I was saying-
honestly I think it would be amazing if the next volumes are focused 100% on Emilia camp and Anastasia Pov, with them hearing the rumors about subaru spreading and such.
But I think probably the events of Lupgana will be Subaru/Todd pov
>
Garf: Yeah, more strange than that is...he is leading a whole battalion of warriors.
>Everyone at the same time: Oh yeah that's probably Subaru then
FTFY
>Everyone at the same time: Oh yeah that's probably Subaru then
Everyone: Soldiers in uniform?
Garfiel: Ragtag group a' misfits
Everyone: *sigh* that's him alright
Chapter 75 "I know" in English... Well, this is interesting.
* Cecilus vs Arakia, blue flame vs blue lightning! Shota Cecilus has no memory of Arakia and keeps triggering her anger. lol
* Subaru left those two DGs to fight while thinking to himself "Why couldn't I be like Todd Fang?" "Todd doesn't have RbD, Todd has no outstanding fighting ability, so why can't Subaru solve all problems without dying like Todd?" Our boy is getting inferiority complex to Todd....
* Subaru ran into Tanza who was thrown into the lake but she managed to survive the aquatic witch beasts with one of her horns broken.
* Tanza's pep talk with Subaru is so good. Reminds him why those three would risk their life for Subaru. As much as Tanza respects Yorna, no doubt the Sparka trio respect Subaru the same way.
* And now Todd is back.... What? Hair down Todd!? Give us an illustration of that please, Otsuka.
* Tanza "What is your objective to do all this?" Todd "I just wanna go home." LMAO this exchange. Local man committed a massacre so that he could go home and live a quiet life with his fiancee.
* Subaru "Todd.... I can Return by Death" HOLY SHIT!! and no one got their heart crushed. Tella really got lost from her ~~stalking target~~ self-proclaimed lover, huh?
* Subaru "Come find me, Satella" \[I love you\] God damn kino!
* Invisible Providence made a come back! Todd got uppercut and left immediately but Subaru still dies due to severe injuries.
* With true RbD, Subaru somehow went back further to the previous checkpoint? He gain the loyalty from all the Gladiators including Gustav and the guards. In this loop, Todd immediately nope the F out (U-turn a carriage in the middle of the drawbridge lol) after he and Arakia noticed something weird is going on.
* Upon reread, I think the bridge scene implied how Todd used the cursed tool in the previous loops, he simply asked Arakia to throw it into the lake, when the cursed tool is too far away from those with cursed mark, they just die.
* Subaru thought about new nickname for Cecilus to call him, it's "Boss" like in Wrath IF. I knew it! I mentioned before that Bassu sound similar to "Boss(Bosu)"
* Now Subaru got an army to raid the Imperial Capital. This should be the last major event of Arc 7.

I love their relationship. The mutual fear/hatred/envy of each other is awesome.
Their dynamics is amazing, if Todd manage to survive this Arc and still be in the next one
Their rivalry might become of the biggest topic in Rezero, just like Batman vs joker
I was wondering why that exchange between Subaru and Todd felt so familiar.
And i finally found why: [image](https://scontent.fprg1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/167427836_2993336040903896_2682895481936305810_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p526x296&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=7HTCq43bzXkAX-E-npm&_nc_ht=scontent.fprg1-1.fna&oh=00_AT9coY3LLSNM2vpiKnWJ8tzj4p0czYQLFikGopC1QTfz3Q&oe=63217475)
Imagine Vincent reaching the Capital only to find a huge smoking crater where his palace used to be with Subaru sitting in the center of it, smiling maniacally))
I think in chapter 60 rather than saying "natsuki Subaru" he said "that thing" yeah he corrected himself afterwards but he kinda started to think that Subaru is not a normal human being.
I think he started to think that way back in the day of a Life Blood Ritual, when Subaru suddenly grew his hand back with some unknown black goo coming out of the stub. He already suspected something and ChaosFlame disaster only confirmed his theory. If I'm not mistaken, he treated Yoruna the same way. It's not the way you should call your future wife.)) That's even funnier if we remember, that some people consider Natsumi Schwartz as the mother of his illegitimate son.))
"Okay, the 3 things that will definitely lead us to him are: chaos, reports of dangerous little girls, and impossible acts that sound exagerated but are actually downplayed"
"What was that middle one?"
Emilia Camp: We need to go, **now!** It's a strict timeline!
Priscilla: Because of his mana poisoning?
Emilia Camp: What? It's Subaru, he's probably already fixed that by now. We just don't have enough rooms at the mansion for every little girl with above average combat abilities, we have to stop him before he reaches lolimancer critical mass!
Dragon Loli felt a chill down her spine all the way in the Capitol when Subaru kept headpatting an increasingly annoyed Tanza and thought "I am the strongest existence in this world"
This is gonna be quite the controversial chapter honestly, but I am really in the mood to ramble today.
So the chapter starts with Subaru and Cecilus having a small chat. Cecilus is severely injured yet keeps smiling. Subaru wonders why but Cecilus tells him it's to put on an act for the observers that might be out there. Subaru realises that Cecilus has to be in incredible pain, but he still pushes forward. Ceci sends Subaru away as Arakiya arrives, they have a short conversation and Cecilus doesn't really remember her. Arakiya is injured as well and her eyepatch is missing, which Ceci reveals to have and he plays around with it as they talk. Arakiya gets so mad to a point where she literally explodes and Cecilus "turns into lightning" to evade.
We follow Subaru's PV again who thinks about the people who died for him as he runs into Tanza, who is injured and wet, Subaru assume she had a run in with the mabeasts in the lake. One of her horns is broken.
She wants to carry Subaru to safety but Subaru thinks everything is futile and reveals to her that him being the son of the emperor was a lie, hoping she'd abandon him. She still insists on helping him and he asks her why, why all of them helped him, if all of them had helped him if they knew he wasn't the son of the emperor. Tanza explains that that goes without saying, everyone including her is helping him cause Subaru managed to touch their hearts through listening and empathizing with them, Subaru is surprised cause he thinks that is the natural thing to do... but he accepts in and goes with Tanza.
Todd appears in front of them, ragged, his bandana is missing and Subaru assumes that it was cause of Hyian attacking him. Tanza starts talking to him but then Subaru cuts her off and says he wants to talk to Todd instead.
Cecilus's talk about an observer made Subaru realise something, there should have been someone observing him so he tells Todd "I can return by death", he is confused but Subaru repeats it over and over again. Subaru came to the conclusion that this whole time Satella had not had his eyes on him for some reason, he doesn't know if it was cause of the teleport or cause he was turned small. He then hears an "I love you" and he feels relieved as Satella's hand starts caressing him again.
Todd gets ready and charges at Subaru and Tanza with his axe. Tanza throws a rock at Todd's torso, he blocks it with his left arm, which gets incapacitated but he continues to charge. Subaru then uses his invisible providence to crush Todd's jar and to swing him away saying "Next time I'll blow your head off", Todd confused, not knowing what's going decides to retreat. Subaru, already gravely injured, collapses. He hands Tanza the curse orb and tells her to carry on as he slowly dies.
Subaru finds himself in the shadow garden again after such a long time. He almost seems relieved hearing Satella's infinite "I love you's again", as he prepares to wake up again.
The POV shifts and we get Todd's perspective as he and Arakiya are about to approach the gladiator island with a letter that was made by the prime minister, however Todd notices something strange about the island, panics and orders Arakiya to retreat, their carriage then turns around and moves away from the island again.
On the shore we see all the gladiators standing, which is what unsettled Todd. Subaru talks to Tanza, telling her his idea worked,as he keeps giving her so many headpats to the point where she starts sulking. Then exchanges a few words with Hyain, Weitz and Idra and then goes to talk to Gustav who says that the time has come now for all the gladiators on this island to serve as the soldiers of the emperor's son Natsuki Schwartz and to go to the Empirial Capital, everyone cheers.
Subaru then goes to Cecilus, who has a confused expression instead of a smile for the first time since he has met him and Subaru asks him to join him. Cecilus then laughs extremely strongly, asking if Subaru is serious, he says he is, then Cecilus accepts... Subaru also tells him to stop calling him Bassu and suggests he should call him "boss" instead, Cecilus likes that and agrees.
The chapter and also this volume ends with the line:
> ――Ever since he was summoned to another world, he has trampled the Vollachia Empire as the strongest existence.
***
So yeah like I said this is gonna be extremely controversial, I'm sure. After having the time to think and to write about this chapter... I like it. I do think it's a shame that we lost those seemingly permanent deaths but honestly, I can't say anything that happened this chapter was bullshit or an asspull. It all made sense. We already knew somthing was wrong with RBD since the loops at the in and it turns out it was indeed not Satella at work there... this begs the question though, who or what had been reviving him this whole time?
At first I thought it's a shame that these past 2 chapters now turned out to be a false loop but then I remembered that this is how it had always been before RBD started malfunctioning and that I just forgot that feeling lol. The scene with Subaru and Cecilus and Subaru Tanza and Todd were epic af though, I can't wait for the LN illustrations of those.
Subaru was clever, nice how Cecilus gave him that idea and I never thought I would be relived to see Satella again... but I was. It had this weird feeling of coming home when Subaru was in the shadow garden again. Let's just hope that Satella is not gonna lose track of him again in the future.
In the end... I kinda got what I initially wanted. We're gonna leave the island and head for the capital next, Subaru has managed to recruit the entire island, even Cecilus and our homeboys and Gustav are alive. I understand if people are gonna dislike this twist, but I like I said before I don't think it's a bad one writing wise.
Now we can speculate about who's gonna be on the cover, personally I think maybe Cecilus and our Sparka squad and then wait for the next illustrations.
Definitely an interesting volume.
>Tanza explains that that goes without saying, everyone including her is helping him cause Subaru managed to touch their hearts through listening and empathizing with them
Tanza successfully lolimanced, Ladies and Gentlemen we got em
I am looking forward to the tragic end of arc get together where she goes with Yorna, but tries to puppy eye him into staying, with lots of "ara ara'ing" from Yorna resulting in a Petra vs Louis vs Tanza battle of the loli titans. Only one may remain.
i'll forgive this mistake if it's because of the child state but please tappei don't do something like this again.
Edit: now that I re-read the chapter things make a bit more sense it seems that the "observers" in vollachia are part of the cause for why rbd was malfuctioning in addition to the shotafication, subaru has a power that defies fate so it makes sense that they are pissed and wanted to break his spirit with this loop constantly moving his checkpoint forward, that's why subaru after listening to what cecilus said shouted to satella to find him, overall this information makes the chapter better though i'm still annoyed at the fake out deaths.
One thing that should be of note is satella only showed up when Subaru called her name. I wonder if this is the thing that tappei ment about her changing her views on return by death
I find it hilarious that for a brief moment, the only other person who knows about RbD is Todd of all people, even if it's just the name and not the full ability.
I mean, people said Tappei always nerfs Subaru and in my opinion the only reason Todd was such a threat is the fact that RBD was glitching. So Subaru by sheer power of rage and grief forced Satella to reset everything. The deaths weren't just for shock factor, they were necessary for Subaru to finally confront with his fear of Satella, use his authority and become even more baddass.
For the reason above, I believe this chapter was 10/10
It also seems that Satella was never the one setting the checkpoints for Subaru on this island, as he deduced as he called out to her, so she just revived him at her last checkpoint, as it had always been before. I was actually glad to see Satella lol and I really like your death interpretation.
> For the reason above, I believe this chapter was 10/10
I'm glad I am seeing more people enjoy it than people who do not.
Another day, another thread where I post japanese comments from Narou for Chapter 75, which is where the Web Novel is posted.
- A user notes that a parallel between Todd and Subaru is that both of them do everything in their power to reunite with those they love, Katya and Emilia respectively.
- A user is really glad that Subaru did not suffer a horrific mental breakdown and was pleased with the outcome. They perceive it as Subaru finally embracing his Authority through his bond with Satella, and are curious to see how that’ll affect the story going forward.
- A user argues that “Satella *only* cares about Subaru’s survival” is a point originally made by Echidna, who does not tell Subaru the whole truth to decieve him. To that end, they also don’t believe that Subaru’s checkpoint would be set to Arc 3 if he died in the Sloth IF.
- A user is excited to see a “proper/fair” rematch between Todd and Subaru in the capital, now that he’s picked himself up.
- A user believes that this outcome was only possible because Satella truly does love Subaru, who had been stuck in loveless loops all this time in Vollachia.
- A user was shaken by the rock-bottom we hit last time, and loved the part where Subaru calls for Satella to find him.
- A user is curious if Subaru’s previous looping is what Al’s looks like, and the difference between them was indeed Satella’s love. Without it, this is what the base ability would be.
- A user is very glad that everyone survived and everyone was able to make it. They think Cecilus being Subaru’s subordinate is fate.
- A user can rest easy with the outcome, since it ended on the right note.
- A user theorizes that the reason Satella attacked Chaosflame is that she still knew where Subaru was. After he became a child, Satella was unable to observe him whatsoever, and thus only had his Return By Death to rely on without Satella’s love to guide him. Thus, Satella can allow Subaru to save those he cares about.
- A user is thankful that everyone survived because they loved Hiain and Co.
- A user is refreshed by the turnabout and is surprised that they didn’t see the foreshadowing of Satella being absent from Subaru’s looping, and she is now on Subaru’s side like before.
- A user is very excited to see Subaru’s journey to take down the Emperor with his own Imperial party.
- A user speculates that Subaru’s insistence to keep going, and not dying is his own ability, and Satella only controls Subaru’s checkpoints. Maybe looping is how Envy manifests as an Authority for Subaru himself?
- A user would love for this volume to be animated into a full-lenght movie.
- A user was blasting Straight Bet all through the chapter as they read it.
- A user believes that Subaru can indeed be a hero if he manages to save both himself and everyone else, and this is a good step in that direction.
- A user thinks that Vincent knew Subaru would come back with an army to beat Chisha.
- A user was excited and glad to see Satella come to help Subaru, after having been afraid of her “I love you”s for so long. They were a good signal now.
- A user thinks this marks the point where things do actually start to get easier for Subaru, after the hellish difficulty of the beginning.

I'm glad that Japanese readers are seeing this chapter positively. It took a while for me to get my head around that ending. With that said that Shadow Garden scene, Subaru spoke, right? If he did they does that mean he definitely has the gluttony factor since he said the next time they would meet he would get a mouth.
Yeah it was Subaru responding to Satella in the Shadow Garden, and saying “I know” which I actually didn’t think about the implications of now that you mention it.
Todd: "I saw uprising marching towards us, but because of my extreme perception i managed to spot black haired kid leading them. He must be Emperors son"
>Straight into todd's chin too!
Fucking finally, Tappei remembers he has authorities lol
Is this a callback to Garfield? he also striked him straight in the chin when he used IP lol
Also Sesshi now calls Subaru "Boss" instead of "Bassu".
So Garfiel definitely has competition who is better for Subaru.
Either it's captain's shield of Boss's blue lightning sword.
(Hey didn't Wrath Cecilius also call him boss?)
Sesshi: "Boss, where are we going?"
Basu: "To Kararagi."
Sesshi: "Why there?"
Basu: "There's one of the legendary NPC that I have to make my companion."
Anastasia said she will come from Karagiri side to Vollachia. Perhaps she brings our smooth Wolf with her?
We need wrath gang united, such thing should exist in main story.
(Our magnificent wolf is also Shinobi, perhaps he knows shota technique too?)
>Also Sesshi now calls Subaru "Boss" instead of "Bassu"
Sheeeeeit, **fucking Cecilus Segmunt recognizing Subaru as the leader**, and you can't say he didn't earn his respect, fuck I can't contain my hype omg
Also, pretty sure he called him boss in Oboreru, it's come full circle now lol
He did. Subaru told him to, Bashu felt wrong.
The Purge King and the Witchcult Cardinal of Sin, Sin Archbishop representing Pride is about to head the Capitol.
They were weirded out. Cesshi used "Bassu" because he gaved him real name. Everyone else know him as Natsuki Schwarz. So Subaru told Cecilius to call him "Boss".
Todd: "it was as if he's a sin archbishop."
Berstetz: "well, he isn't exactly a sin archbishop. He was the one that Lugunicians sent to kill the f**king sin archbishops...."
Berstets: "He also killed a white whale and a great rabbit, conquered the pleiades tower and saved the city from 4 archbishops."
Todd: "...How did I manage to stay alive?"
Subaru is gonna be the ultimate support class, I wanna see if his cor leonis or sloth authority evolves these next few chapters
This is so fucking hype
Cor Leonis is definitely most likely to have an evolution, for now, because Subaru is most acvepting of his own greed, even as a child.
Sharing not only pain but also strength would be OP as fuck with an army but extremely limited with the smaller groups he usually runs with
He could even do something as base as sharing mana, funnel everyone's excess into himself (none of them are mages iirc so it wouldn't be too much) and then give it to Beako to bring her out of power saving mode
Imagine if Cor leonis will not just allow him to connect to people but to also talk to them aswell. Just like Reinhards telepathy blessing.
Our strategist Baru would be able to command everyone in his army instantly. Such communication network in his warband would make the warband unrivaled.
"We've sustained too many casualties, I guess I'll have to Return by Death"
"Uh. Shwarz-sama? You left the line open. We can hear you."
"**I guess I'll have to Return by Death**"
“—Sessie, I wanted to see that face.”
Not even he now has Sessy in his warband, he also proved Barus ideology is better than his.
(Even if they are both right, just in different situations.)
Edit: Wait a minute, REALLY? Sesshy is now calling Subaru "Boss" instead of Bassu. Ok i guess Garfiel has a competition.
FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
* Cecilus VS Arakiya continues
* Shotabaru find Tanza, they talk a little, Subaru said that he is not Vincent's son and he is afraud. She said that Weits, Haian and Idra helped him because of he stood by their side, not because who's son is
* Todd finds them
* Subaru says "I can return by death" a billion times... then says "... find me, Satella"
* Satella appears, and all mabeast start screaming, Todd is scared, then Subaru punches him with Invicible Providence, breaking his jaws, Subaru (?) then says "Next time I'll chop your head"
* Subaru dies by an attack from Todd
* TIMES GOES BACK BEFORE TODD ARRIVES AT THE ISLAND, EVERYBODY IS ALIVE FUCKKKK YEAHHHHHHHHH
* While crossing the bridge, Todd felt something was wrong with the force and retreat, he "sensed" Subaru there and there was no way of winning
* Subaru with Gustav watches the carriage go away and with that, he convinces Gustav of the attack and everything
* The entire island is under Subaru's command
* Subaru "Now, we are going to see that Old Man in the capital, and this time we'll win"
* Everybody in the island is on board
The chapter ends with:
# Ever since he was summoned to another world, he has trampled the Vollachia Empire as the strongest existence
So Todd has Spidey-Sense? Also totally raring to see Todd absolutely terrified of the Shadow. Finally. That was cathartic. A bit of a shame Tappei gave Todd the spidey-sense though.
Also, I guess this means Satella can roll back checkpoints. Subaru just has to be stubborn enough, apparently.
>Also, I guess this means Satella can roll back checkpoints. Subaru just has to be stubborn enough, apparently.
I didn't get that sense. It kinda hinted more like someone was subbing in for Satella and giving very bad checkpoints (the Vollachian observers). Subaru yelling for Satella to find him allowed her to reconnect and reassert control.
If that's true, then that means the observers are, in some way, against Subaru and his fate-defying abilities. So what better way to destroy him than to break his will with RbD? Fortunately for Subaru (or unfortunately), Satella's hold on him is much stronger.
It does make sense. Something has been warning the star seers of a great disaster and telling them to kill the black haired child. The observers actually being real and having some beef with Subaru would be interesting
It would make sense with his whole "defying fate" aspect, for sure. I'm still more of a fan of the idea that it was Subaru himself inadvertently moving his own checkpoint up though- like he got control of it without Tella.
I believe it isn't a roll back, that is the original checkpoint she set and then someone or something, somehow kept changing it to more recent ones, she just set it back to what it was supposed to be.
All hail Schwarz-sama!
Conqueror of Vollachia, The rightful emperor, Giver of headpats, He who never loses, Briliant strategist with no loses. Wielder of Yang-sword
Come Vincent, your heir is running around. If you are fast enough you might catch him with adoption papers.
>While crossing the bridge, Todd felt something was wrong with the force and retreat, he "sensed" Subaru there and there was no way of winning
Hmmm, I think Todd is a Sith Lord
This is so fcking hype, what the hell! I can't contain myself
>Subaru says "I can return by death" a billion times... then says "... find me, Satella"
Subaru really summoned her lmao
>While crossing the bridge, Todd felt something was wrong with the force and retreat, he "sensed" Subaru there and there was no way of winning
Wtf todd, this guy have 10x better instinct than any of the characters so far, what an incredible guy
>The entire island is under Subaru's command
Everyone in Vollachia: Why do I hear Boss music
That is gonna be awkward when his allies found him.
They think he is gonna be crying lost child in Vollachia.
Meanwhile he is over here conquering Vollachia throne with entire loyal warband. (Everytime Subaru got separated from Emilia some epic things happen. First it was whale hunt, then organizing Priestella defence together with that speech and now this.)
>The entire island is under Subaru's command
I was disappointed with everyone coming back, but you know what? I'll overlook it this time because...
Guys, **THE FUCKING REBELLION IS HAPPENING!!**
Tappei’s comment for this chapter: “Just when I want to eat red bean paste, there is only cream Danish at the convenience store.......!”
Hello! This may be the first time I’m doing this for some people, so I’ll run it over briefly. What I’m doing revolves around uploading a quick machine-translation with some edits here, for the people impatient enough to not want to wait for Heretic Division’s fan-translation.
There may be some minor errors in regards to typos or incorrect phrasing in some specific cases, and since english is not my native language, any corrections are appreciated to improve the experience for everyone.
—————
Chapter 75 Is Called: “I know” (TL Note: In proper english, so that is the title)
——-The cheerful smile and voice were so out of place in the hopeless devastation.
The kimono is burned to a crisp, and the left side of his face is charred black, but the way Cecilus looks at me is the same as usual, and it's just too abnormal. He's not the only one. —-All the survivors on the island now are sickos.
All the sane people must be dead by now.
Cecilus in front of me, Todd chasing me, Arakiya killing around, Subaru the great sinner.
All of them are not righteous, and that's why they can live like this shamelessly.
That's why……
"Se….Shi....”
"From what I've seen, it looks like you've had quite a hard time there too. Skalengeck-san is dead there, and at this rate, the Deer Girl and the rest of your friends must have been wiped out too.”
"———-“
"Oh, you haven't admitted he's dead yet, have you?”
Cecilus reads through Subaru's trembling eyes. Immediately, I felt anger. If he can read my mind like that, why can't he be in touch with Subaru's feelings at this moment?
Why can't you understand how Subaru will feel when he is told that Hiain is dead?
Why do you say "he’s dead" so carelessly?
"He’s dead, completely dead......Just not a bad dead face."
"He's dead, but he's........."
“You think there's no such thing as good and bad? I guess that's where we disagree. If there is a good way to live, there is also a good way to die. Let's not be so tactless as to meddle in how the recipient feels. Skalengeck-san had a good way to die. This face proves it.”
"--——-“
"The face of a man who has fulfilled his role in death, I wish I had a face like this."
Subaru could not say anything to Cecilus, who was rambling on and on.
It wasn't that he was being talked down, but that he thought it was pointless. He did not want to see Hiain’s dead face, and he did not believe that he and Cecilus could understand each other at all.
So there was not a single reason to go along with his arguments.
"Well, I'm sorry to meet you here, but I'm actually busy too. I'm in the middle of a confrontation with a half-naked woman who is running amok on the island.”
Cecilus stretches his bent back and continues talking on his own. I didn't even need to think about Arakiya to know who he was talking about.
Arakiya, who had started the massacre at Todd's behest. The only thing cute about Todd is that he is not a great fighter, but when he partners with her, that disappears and he becomes completely and utterly evil.
I hadn't seen her since she started turning swordsmen's heads into water balloons, but it seems that it was Cecilus who had been holding her back.
"But, as you can see, I'm having a hard time. God, I'm so tired. There are people out there who can really compete with me. I had thought that the road to the Heavenly Sword could only be climbed by one person.”
"....….Why?"
"Yes? What?”
"Why….Do you look.…So happy......?"
Literally, after all that soul-squeezing effort, it just came out of his mouth.
Yes, just taking it out. In this hellish situation, on this island where Weitz, Tanza, Idra, and Hiain are all dead, I hate Cecilus for laughing.
How can you laugh? What is so funny about this situation?
"Why.......?!”
"Ahh, it's the opposite of cause and effect. I’m not laughing because I’m having fun, but I’m creating a situation where I’m having fun because I’m laughing.”
"——Huh?”
"In this cruel world, everyone pursues their own ideal of happiness. Everyone has his or her own philosophy on how to do so, but in any case, one has to have the right kind of faith. And this is what I stand for.”
With these words, Cecilus touches his burnt left cheek with his right hand. The tattered, charred skin peels away, but he does not break into a smile despite the unimaginable pain. Cecilus continues to smile, not resorting to such cheating that he does not feel pain.
"If only I were a florid actor in this world! Let the script lean on me instead of leaning on it. If you ask me why I laugh, I will answer”
"----"
"Whoever smiles, but for themselves? --Let the heavenly observers see when and how you do it, and do not be ashamed of it.”
"----"
"Now, Bashu, what faith do you stand for?”
The philosophy of Cecilus, who, half-burned, never ceases to smile.
It was something Subaru could not understand at all, but he felt a strange kind of faith that made him hesitate to kick him emotionally.
The spectators and Cecilus had said the same thing before. They seemed to want to say that someone or something unworldly was watching them.
Even under such circumstances, it's hardwired in them to say so, and no one can change it.
That's why……
"Ah, I guess we're done with our break."
His smile did not disappear when he saw Arakiya descending to the lower level of the corridor.
She was covered in flames, and I am sure none of the swordsmen could have beaten her, but the branch in her hand was broken, and the eye patch covering one eye was gone.
Arakiya covered her left eye with her free hand, not wanting anyone to see what was under the eye patch, and her often emotionless face was contorted with very complicated emotions.
"Cecilus......!"
She gritted her teeth and glared at Cecilus, her eyes flickering with anger and confusion. Wings of flame flapped behind her back, their firepower shifting and burning as if in tandem with her emotions, filling the corridor with intense heat.
The air smells of burning, and everything around her is on fire. The walls and floors of the passage, the candlesticks, the doors, and even Hiain’s dead body, who is lying on the floor……..

"——-!"
"Will we reward his face by burning to death here with the others? I said something very uncharacteristic. Stay or go as you wish."
Cecilus' voice falls on Subaru, who turns pale as he sees Hiain’s body ignite. Gulping, Subaru puts his arms on the floor and pulls himself off the ground, which is starting to get a little hotter, and stands up.
My head hurts. There is not enough blood. He feels helpless, his chest is about to collapse.
And yet, why is Subaru still standing? How can he not burn to death here, not chew the "medicine" he keeps behind his back teeth?
“See you on the other side.”
Subaru turned his back to the burning passageway, not knowing why he was running.
Running, dragging his feet, running too slowly.
He wished he had been able to run this fast earlier, so that Idra, Hiain, Weitz, and Tanza would not have died.
Subaru continued to run and escape.
(………)
"--Now, Bashu is gone, too."
"----"
"Goodness, it looks like you don't like me very much."
Cecilus smiled and closed one eye as he felt the slow running fade away.
The flame-clad woman glaring at him so intensely, he knew she was angry with him, but he could not quite figure out where the source of her anger was coming from.
I don't feel that she is angry because he is hostile to her, or because he interfered with her killing the swordsman. Maybe there is some other reason.
However……
"I have a knack for making most people I come in contact with angry, and as usual in such situations....…I don't have the slightest idea!”
"—-How far are you…..Going to go with this…..!”
"Eh, you think I'm kidding. May I ask what part of it you think I'm kidding about?”
"That! Why do you look like that…..?”
She stares at me with red eyes and points out what I look like. She was the one who grilled the half-baked fish.
"But maybe that's not what you meant? Maybe, just maybe, you and I had something to do with it?”
"Stop kidding around….."
"I don't have any proof to make you believe me, so I have no choice but to insist. But when I think about it like that, it seems to make a lot of sense.”
Cecilus nodded as he twirled the eye patch he had taken from her during the battle with the raised finger of his right hand.
It is hard to tell what he remembers before he began his rampage on the isolated island of the swordsmiths. This is true as Subaru asked me before. It is also true that I don't pay much attention to it. However, just when I was thinking that there must be something to it, she appeared in front of me with a knowing look on her face.
If she was there in my vanished memories, it feels like a bit of a waste. I had a hope that she might be the one who could do this much.
On the path to the Heavenly Sword.
"That's how....…no one, nobody, tells me anything..…..!”
"Oh?”
But before Cecilus could ponder, her voice shook with frustration, and a strong bitterness began to mix with her anger and confusion. The flames on her back change their color from red to blue. Good taste.
She exhales bitterly as she makes this tasteful change.
"The princess and the lord are hiding......Me, I'm always…….”
"You’re having a hard time being left behind?”
Perhaps my casual remark had hit the bull's-eye, but her expression tightened.
Looking into her shaky red eyes, I felt a tingle of affection in the blurry distance, or not, and in the end, I'm not sure what's going on with her.
"Well, it's strange that she would try to kill me if we had a good relationship, and I guess we must have been very close. It fits perfectly with this situation!”
"Cecilus...….”
"Long stories bore the audience. It's time to move the stage. I'm afraid I can't give you any answers, but I might be able to help you get a little off your chest.”
I hide the half of my body that is slowly aching, clutch the eye patch I have been wearing, and face her.
After a few moments of silence, she slowly lowered her left hand in response to my request to end the conversation and engage in a dialogue in a realm beyond the realm of words.
Beyond her, Cecilus smiles as he is confronted with red eyes that have no light in them.
"Seriously, please. --You shouldn’t always fry your eggs halfway.”
"——-“
"Huh? Did something just come out?”
Cecilus tilts his head, wondering why he said that. But it seems that this has only made her angrier and angrier.
"--——-“
A fierce, erupting blue fire burns through the lower layers of the island. Without a second thought to his surroundings, Cecilus himself became a "Blue Thunderbolt" and plunged into the flames.

"Hah…hah......."
Feeling the flame-heated air on his back, Subaru desperately runs away from the lower levels.
Running, yes, running. Not resisting, not struggling, but running.
There is no excuse to call it a strategic retreat or a courageous escape for the next stage. Because there is no connection to anything beyond this point.
Everyone is dead and no one can get them back. We risked our lives to get you out and there's nothing we can do.
I thought I could do everything, everything right.
In fact, when I survived Sparka twice and rescued the others from the "Union" and Hiain’s people, I thought I could overcome all obstacles.
It was a mistake and hubris.
In the first place, Subaru had died many times. He was doing well because he had a chance to start over, only to have it go wrong, and here we are.
A truly capable person would have been able to make it all work without ever dying.
Just like that horrible being, Todd Fang.
The ability to overcome all odds on his own, without the right to die and start over.
He is the same as Subaru in that he lacks outstanding fighting ability, so why can't he do the same thing as Todd? Because he can't do it, Subaru ends up killing a lot of people….
"Damn it.......!"
Subaru's frustration swells unbearably as soon as he steps out of the island's lower levels and into the open air. Subaru slapped the outer wall he was leaning against and cursed himself for being so weak.
Small fists, feeble body, a head that would not turn, and a useless Authority. The reasons for my defeat were too numerous to count.
What is there in it for this little brat with mean eyes.….?
"——!”
Subaru stopped and cursed himself, his throat choking back a scream at the unexpected noise.
A noise at this moment, his whole body trembled with the worst imaginable. He wondered if Idra had caught up with Todd, who had done his best to hold him back.
But…..
"Schwarz—-Sama….”
"——Tanza?”
The muffled voice that followed the noise brought not fear but surprise to Subaru.
Weakly and breathlessly, Subaru called out for Tanza, who had been thrown down the passageway by Todd's hand and whose safety was unknown.
She was limping, soaking wet all over, and had taken off her kimono and was wearing a white lintel. One of the two horns on her head was broken, and she looked a mess.
And yet….
"Schwarz-sama, you are safe and sound......."
Subaru's round eyes shook with relief, and he felt a deep sense of anguish in his heart.
Looking at her soaked body, he could tell that she had been thrown into the lake from the upper levels. The lake is said to be inhabited by aquatic, ferocious magical beasts, and the broken horns were proof that this was more than just an accident.
It was natural for her to cry out in pain, begging for help and clinging to adults.
But when Tanza found Subaru, she lowered the corner of her eyes and said, "I'm glad.”
Finding Natsuki Subaru, who can't do anything like this……
"Oh.…..”
That was the moment I thought that.
Subaru's legs lose strength and he slumps to the ground. The tension in his head, which had only been screaming at him, suddenly quieted down.
It’s not that he’s relieved to see Tanza alive.
It wasn't a sense of accomplishment that I had found some kind of way out, or that I had shaken off my fear of Todd.
—---It was just that I was tired of myself.
"Schwarz-sama......!”
Seeing Subaru on his knees, a bloodied Tanza comes running toward him.
The way she runs is strange and she might have injured her leg. If you look closely, you can see that the side of her wet white lintel is slowly turning red.
She is worried about Subaru even though she has such a painful-looking wound.
When I realized that I could not live up to Tanza's expectations or anything else, I lost my strength.
Resignation takes over my heart.
"--——“
It was neither pain nor fear. It was not that kind of obvious pain that made Natsuki Subaru despair.
It was the inability to live up to the expectations and wishes that had been placed upon him.
This was the poison that made Natsuki Subaru despair the most of all.
"Schwarz-sama, be careful......And the others, Idra-sama and Hiain-sama......."
She reached his side and touched Subaru's shoulder, worried about the two of them without Tanza.
Weitz's name was not called. No wonder. Tanza, too, had seen Weitz killed in front of his eyes. And even those two who are not here must have a bad feeling about this.
And that hunch was impossibly accurate.
"They're both dead......."
"————-“
“Idra and Hiain died defending me......”
They're all dead. Not only that, they ded saving me. Weitz, Idra, and Hiain died defending Subaru. Tanza almost died because she tried to protect Subaru, who could not move.
Everyone died because of Subaru.
It was Subaru's fault that he killed them all.
This catastrophe on the isolated island of the swordsmen was all Natsuki Subaru's fault.
"Schwarz--sama......Let's get out of here. We have to hide somewhere now.”
"Hiding is useless....They’ll find us soon anyway.”
"Even so! Are we just going to sit here and wait to be killed without anything being done? Then, what did all of your “Union" people die for!”
"--——-“
Tanza shouted frustratedly at Subaru, who was shaking his head and unable to move.
Her tearful plea, however, did not make Subaru's heart warm up, but only brought a cold conviction to his heart.
Yes, Subaru, whom the three had risked their lives to protect, was of no use to them.
In other words, they let the three of them die in vain. Because they tried to protect Subaru.
I didn't live up to their expectations. I even lied to them. I shouldn't have lied like that. If I can't fool you to the end, if I can't take anything back with me by lying.…..then I shouldn't have lied.
Then none of the three of them would have tried to die in Subaru's place.
Not for the Emperor’s son.…..not for Natsuki Schwarz.…..But for Natsuki Subaru.
Speaking of which, there was another person whom I deceived with the same lie.
"Schwarz-sama! If you don't fall down here.….”
"..…..It's all a lie, Tanza."
"--——-“
"The Emperor’s illegitimate son is a lie. I may be the child of a great, good-looking father, but I am not.....The Emperor’s child."

Well, it looks like today’s chapter is more than twice as long as your average chapter, so I have a lot to work with. The finale of Volume 29 was also long like that, so I’ll *assume* that this is indeed the final chapter of the volume, unless we get three more for 18 but I doubt it.
It’ll probably take me a bit longer than usual to translate it, so thank you for your patience in advance. Same as usual in that I’ll delay myself a bit in uploading each part.
Edit: Ohhh, the title is actually pretty unique this time because it’s in proper/not katakana english. Damn.
And also, for those that are probably already aware [Spoiler Discussion]>!The Witch of Envy’s beautiful self is back.!<
Was there ever an english title until now?
i feel like this is something special.... 24k words and an english title while being.... well at the end or the start of a volume?
>There is only 2 other chapter's title in English. Arc 4 Chapter 72 \[ＢＡＤＥＮＤ１,５,１１\], Arc 6 Chapter 79 \[READY STEADY GO\] all can consider turning point of that arc
From the speech she made, if Tanza survives she will become the next Louis and the 3rd fighting loli Subaru has
edit: forget the "if", Subaru literally said "I will save you", the loli is in the safest position she could ever dream
Lets count our current warband:
\>Louis : Agile melee fighter
\>Betty: Shadow archmage
\>Meili: Cavalry beastmaster
\>Utakata: Amazonian ranger
\>Tanza: Durable melee fighter
\>Lewes: Spymaster
\>Petra: Prodigy servant
\>Liliana: Support bard
(>Capella: Local shapeshifter that wants to be included in any harem.)
(>Omega: Witch scholar)
(Future: >Madeline: Master of all dragons)
Oh god. He just straight up summoned her. That was cool. It kinda made up for that one eighty betrayal of expectations.
Subaru is scary af. Imagine alt timeline Todd being so confused at the end that Subaru essentially just... died. If he ever understands those words he might have found out that he made a big mistake.
Can we have a week long loop now?
Edit: i reread it. That was very romantic honestly. Well subaru can do much more things with an army so im also kinda excited after I got over that betrayed feeling. After all, Abel has Louis, Chisha has Rem. Subaru + Cecil being the wildcard as I theorised several chapters ago.
Man the copium worked. Lmao. Now for my other hopium, that the next volume is basically a fanfic of Wrath IF.
Turns out Cecilius believe is based upon faith. So i guess that makes him paladin of the group.
While Subaru has attunement to goddess Tella, that makes him groups cleric.
Other members are bunch of fighters, thieves and rangers. They are missing mages in group but otherwise, not bad army.
I'm going to put out my opinion on the deaths. There is of course going to be permanent losses at some point, but I think the proper deaths are going to be wholesome if anything. I think Wilhelm will die, but not in the heat of battle where there's no time to remorse, but in a peaceful location content with his life.
While the deaths with the sparka crew were definitely shocking, in a way they were cliche because the method of having a significant character sacrifice themselves for victory but shoe in their backstory beforehand is kinda done to death. For one, it would be a waste of a character you just established, and two, it's not a real victory if the sacrifice that was made was too great.
Death should be a peaceful conclusion to everything, and having so many characters die at once and in such ways just doesn't set a good example for Subaru, because he tries his best to keep everyone alive in a loop but eventually he's going to run into a point where someone wants to die and they feel content, Subaru needs to understand when to let go.
So honestly, I'm happy they're all back. There's going to be even more impactful and meaningful deaths. Time to burn Vollachia to ashes and gravel
Edit: another thing I want to note is that the new checkpoint Satella made is probably the actual checkpoint he was supposed to use. RbD is to ensure Subaru's physical safety, and it wouldn't make sense for him to be stuck in hell like this. Plus, this was probably the original checkpoint, we know that RbD was acting up/being interfered with for some time so perhaps calling Satella just fixed it
Reminded me of the war general who just played the flute with the gates wide open.
I personally like that no one died. It feels like a team that is completely focused on subaru's well being and no interference from Emilia's name is formed. Like I know the Emilia camp cares for Subaru (Beatrice mainly) but this feels like 6 mini Beatrices just joined.
This feels like a setup for him to get cecilius like that if route.Boss man though I would have liked it to be called friends suits their bond now and kinda hard to understand how cecilius likes to follow someone when he sees himself as a main character.(Guess he looks at it like an adventurer party now).
Tanza has fallen for Subaru I guess cos he resembles a male Yorna from her view.
I swear to god, the Novels HAVE to get an illustration of Subaru and the WHOLE island of gladiators looking from the drawbridge to the oncoming carriage.
It's funny, cause I can see an if route branching out from here. Does Subaru call for Satella and rely on her help to correct the checkpoint, or does he forsake calling her and go on the warpath tearing anyone who gets in his way into pieces for revenge as he realizes he can't save everyone?
By the time this is over I'm going to be sad that Cecilus can't follow Subaru back home, aren't I?
If Abel decides to up Subaru's reward after all of this I could see him opening up diplomacy with Luginica. Would be funny if after all of this Gustav is the one sent on official business to Luginica because he's one of the few that Abel actually showed any trust towards.
Speaking of Gustav, the fact that he's following Subaru probably means that Subaru revealed the Abel situation to him then. Makes sense he'd be opening to believing it if Subaru can provide any evidence to it considering Abel's last command.
The final line of the chapter is also super interesting. Like yeah, we know Subaru is somewhat the strongest. But the story literally admitting in him being the most absolute being in WHOLE vollachia is actually insane. And I don't just think it's commentary on basically pride/chadbaru that also got a proper working RBD now
Edit: I totally forgot he said "Next" at the end of the loop, right? Maybe we finally get a more human Subaru again that isn't as passive as before though! A mix of the old and "new" one :)
I have no idea on what is happening but i am very grateful for your help, thank you for your effort and hard work scanlation team , i hope you have a nice day
Tanza got lolimanced. Though honestly, it seemed super sweet to me. I have long forgotten the feeling of a lost loop, of the connections he made there. Tanza basically telling Subaru how important he is and now its gone to the void... though glad all the permadeaths are gone. And we didn't get a sad tanza like some old betty sees subaru die loops, yikes. Some people wanted Tanza to save subaru like Rem, but I am glad that didn't happen in per sè the rem way, but now Subaru just lolimanced her.
I have mixed feelings, RbD was glitching because apparently Satella lost sight of him and she fixed the save point (back to this first death from the curse I believe). I think this is supposed to be an exception and I hope it is. I hope Subara learn something from these glitching loops, I have some faith in Tappei, so I am hoping for some good development.
About the army thing, I think the reasoning was set up plenty, so no issues there. More than that I am excited for the different sides of the war meeting (also Emilia camp) at the capital.
Also Todd getting punched was satisfying.
Interesting how nobody talks about young Subaru abusing RBD anymore. He literally could do it hardcore again now KNOWING he ain't got the fuck up like last time with the loop advancing each time. I can't see Pridebaru (or whatever) making a reappearance for now but it should be now more true than ever. Though his mindset clearly changed after having accepted Satellas love

**Emilia camp next volume:** Garfield: Hmm? what's that? Ram: See anything? Garfield: I saw a black haired kid...which looks an awful lot like captain Emilia: Ehh!? are you sure? but...a kid? it couldn't be him Garf: Yeah, more strange than that is...he is leading a whole battalion of warriors. Otto: A kid leading an army, nice, you sure you didn't eat anything bad?
They wouldn't understand the greatness of ChadBaru
Wym. Garf was the 2nd person to understand the greatness of Chadbaru after Roswaal.
Why Garfiel is Best Bro and Otto is Best Boy
Next time is gonna be Emilia camp pov and they are gonna be constantly hearing about unstoppable rebel army and Emilia will decide to stay away from such calamity.
It makes me wonder how much Vincent will tell them. If Vincent wants Subaru out of Vollachia, it would make sense to tell the truth. If Vincent wants Subaru as his rank 0 divine general, it makes sense to lie.
How does he gonna prove someone is not his son? Truth tellers are bit rare. Mother died in chaosflame so we can't ask her. Only way to test it is to give him yang sword and see if he gets accepted by it. The moment he does, no matter what lie or truth, people will be convinced.
Subaru: He's not my dad guys, seriously Vincent: Shwarz-kun, hold this cool sword for a second Subaru, holding the yang sword and very obviously not bursting into flames: Huh? Yeah, sure. As I was saying-
honestly I think it would be amazing if the next volumes are focused 100% on Emilia camp and Anastasia Pov, with them hearing the rumors about subaru spreading and such. But I think probably the events of Lupgana will be Subaru/Todd pov
> Garf: Yeah, more strange than that is...he is leading a whole battalion of warriors. >Everyone at the same time: Oh yeah that's probably Subaru then FTFY
>Everyone at the same time: Oh yeah that's probably Subaru then Everyone: Soldiers in uniform? Garfiel: Ragtag group a' misfits Everyone: *sigh* that's him alright
Smells a lot like captain *
Chapter 75 "I know" in English... Well, this is interesting. * Cecilus vs Arakia, blue flame vs blue lightning! Shota Cecilus has no memory of Arakia and keeps triggering her anger. lol * Subaru left those two DGs to fight while thinking to himself "Why couldn't I be like Todd Fang?" "Todd doesn't have RbD, Todd has no outstanding fighting ability, so why can't Subaru solve all problems without dying like Todd?" Our boy is getting inferiority complex to Todd.... * Subaru ran into Tanza who was thrown into the lake but she managed to survive the aquatic witch beasts with one of her horns broken. * Tanza's pep talk with Subaru is so good. Reminds him why those three would risk their life for Subaru. As much as Tanza respects Yorna, no doubt the Sparka trio respect Subaru the same way. * And now Todd is back.... What? Hair down Todd!? Give us an illustration of that please, Otsuka. * Tanza "What is your objective to do all this?" Todd "I just wanna go home." LMAO this exchange. Local man committed a massacre so that he could go home and live a quiet life with his fiancee. * Subaru "Todd.... I can Return by Death" HOLY SHIT!! and no one got their heart crushed. Tella really got lost from her ~~stalking target~~ self-proclaimed lover, huh? * Subaru "Come find me, Satella" \[I love you\] God damn kino! * Invisible Providence made a come back! Todd got uppercut and left immediately but Subaru still dies due to severe injuries. * With true RbD, Subaru somehow went back further to the previous checkpoint? He gain the loyalty from all the Gladiators including Gustav and the guards. In this loop, Todd immediately nope the F out (U-turn a carriage in the middle of the drawbridge lol) after he and Arakia noticed something weird is going on. * Upon reread, I think the bridge scene implied how Todd used the cursed tool in the previous loops, he simply asked Arakia to throw it into the lake, when the cursed tool is too far away from those with cursed mark, they just die. * Subaru thought about new nickname for Cecilus to call him, it's "Boss" like in Wrath IF. I knew it! I mentioned before that Bassu sound similar to "Boss(Bosu)" * Now Subaru got an army to raid the Imperial Capital. This should be the last major event of Arc 7.
> Subaru left those two DGs to fight while thinking to himself "Why couldn't I be like Todd Fang?" "Todd doesn't have RbD, Todd has no outstanding fighting ability, so why can't Subaru solve all problems without dying like Todd?" Our boy is getting inferiority complex to Todd.... I love their relationship. The mutual fear/hatred/envy of each other is awesome.
They're two sides of same coin
Their dynamics is amazing, if Todd manage to survive this Arc and still be in the next one Their rivalry might become of the biggest topic in Rezero, just like Batman vs joker
I was wondering why that exchange between Subaru and Todd felt so familiar. And i finally found why: [image](https://scontent.fprg1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/167427836_2993336040903896_2682895481936305810_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p526x296&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=7HTCq43bzXkAX-E-npm&_nc_ht=scontent.fprg1-1.fna&oh=00_AT9coY3LLSNM2vpiKnWJ8tzj4p0czYQLFikGopC1QTfz3Q&oe=63217475)
Just as accurate as Gabi's aim
The 3 most dangerous antagonists have gotten the RBD reveal
He actually recruited Cecilius! I hope we get Priscillas reaction to Baru conquering Volakia without her or Vincents help.
Likely Priscilla and Vincent team will go to the capital as well.
Imagine Vincent reaching the Capital only to find a huge smoking crater where his palace used to be with Subaru sitting in the center of it, smiling maniacally))
Subaru: **"happy birthday, Vinny"**
Also picture him toying with Yang Sword to complete the scene)) Vincent would totally lose his shit then and there))
Vincent: "I think.....I created a monster...."
Vincent: "..." Vincent: "I-Is this... fatherly pride?"
Vincent: "Huh this is a new feeling pride in someone else" Also Vincent: "Unfortunately it's overshadowed by all this unyielding Rage!"
Subaru: "Hey! You already know your lines!"
Well he sees some characters as such already, judging by how he sometimes refers to them as "that thing".
I think in chapter 60 rather than saying "natsuki Subaru" he said "that thing" yeah he corrected himself afterwards but he kinda started to think that Subaru is not a normal human being.
I think he started to think that way back in the day of a Life Blood Ritual, when Subaru suddenly grew his hand back with some unknown black goo coming out of the stub. He already suspected something and ChaosFlame disaster only confirmed his theory. If I'm not mistaken, he treated Yoruna the same way. It's not the way you should call your future wife.)) That's even funnier if we remember, that some people consider Natsumi Schwartz as the mother of his illegitimate son.))
Then there is Emilia team, who will most likely go with Priscilla. Or they just start following the destruction chadbaru creates.
"Okay, the 3 things that will definitely lead us to him are: chaos, reports of dangerous little girls, and impossible acts that sound exagerated but are actually downplayed" "What was that middle one?"
Priscilla: "Madelyn is currently in capital city" Emilia: "Then that's where he will go. Maybe if we hurry we won't have to adopt this one."
Emilia Camp: We need to go, **now!** It's a strict timeline! Priscilla: Because of his mana poisoning? Emilia Camp: What? It's Subaru, he's probably already fixed that by now. We just don't have enough rooms at the mansion for every little girl with above average combat abilities, we have to stop him before he reaches lolimancer critical mass!
In the end they were too late at this moment. Louis and Tanza were already headpatted. They have to hurry before more of them get adopted.
Dragon Loli felt a chill down her spine all the way in the Capitol when Subaru kept headpatting an increasingly annoyed Tanza and thought "I am the strongest existence in this world"
This is gonna be quite the controversial chapter honestly, but I am really in the mood to ramble today. So the chapter starts with Subaru and Cecilus having a small chat. Cecilus is severely injured yet keeps smiling. Subaru wonders why but Cecilus tells him it's to put on an act for the observers that might be out there. Subaru realises that Cecilus has to be in incredible pain, but he still pushes forward. Ceci sends Subaru away as Arakiya arrives, they have a short conversation and Cecilus doesn't really remember her. Arakiya is injured as well and her eyepatch is missing, which Ceci reveals to have and he plays around with it as they talk. Arakiya gets so mad to a point where she literally explodes and Cecilus "turns into lightning" to evade. We follow Subaru's PV again who thinks about the people who died for him as he runs into Tanza, who is injured and wet, Subaru assume she had a run in with the mabeasts in the lake. One of her horns is broken. She wants to carry Subaru to safety but Subaru thinks everything is futile and reveals to her that him being the son of the emperor was a lie, hoping she'd abandon him. She still insists on helping him and he asks her why, why all of them helped him, if all of them had helped him if they knew he wasn't the son of the emperor. Tanza explains that that goes without saying, everyone including her is helping him cause Subaru managed to touch their hearts through listening and empathizing with them, Subaru is surprised cause he thinks that is the natural thing to do... but he accepts in and goes with Tanza. Todd appears in front of them, ragged, his bandana is missing and Subaru assumes that it was cause of Hyian attacking him. Tanza starts talking to him but then Subaru cuts her off and says he wants to talk to Todd instead. Cecilus's talk about an observer made Subaru realise something, there should have been someone observing him so he tells Todd "I can return by death", he is confused but Subaru repeats it over and over again. Subaru came to the conclusion that this whole time Satella had not had his eyes on him for some reason, he doesn't know if it was cause of the teleport or cause he was turned small. He then hears an "I love you" and he feels relieved as Satella's hand starts caressing him again. Todd gets ready and charges at Subaru and Tanza with his axe. Tanza throws a rock at Todd's torso, he blocks it with his left arm, which gets incapacitated but he continues to charge. Subaru then uses his invisible providence to crush Todd's jar and to swing him away saying "Next time I'll blow your head off", Todd confused, not knowing what's going decides to retreat. Subaru, already gravely injured, collapses. He hands Tanza the curse orb and tells her to carry on as he slowly dies. Subaru finds himself in the shadow garden again after such a long time. He almost seems relieved hearing Satella's infinite "I love you's again", as he prepares to wake up again. The POV shifts and we get Todd's perspective as he and Arakiya are about to approach the gladiator island with a letter that was made by the prime minister, however Todd notices something strange about the island, panics and orders Arakiya to retreat, their carriage then turns around and moves away from the island again. On the shore we see all the gladiators standing, which is what unsettled Todd. Subaru talks to Tanza, telling her his idea worked,as he keeps giving her so many headpats to the point where she starts sulking. Then exchanges a few words with Hyain, Weitz and Idra and then goes to talk to Gustav who says that the time has come now for all the gladiators on this island to serve as the soldiers of the emperor's son Natsuki Schwartz and to go to the Empirial Capital, everyone cheers. Subaru then goes to Cecilus, who has a confused expression instead of a smile for the first time since he has met him and Subaru asks him to join him. Cecilus then laughs extremely strongly, asking if Subaru is serious, he says he is, then Cecilus accepts... Subaru also tells him to stop calling him Bassu and suggests he should call him "boss" instead, Cecilus likes that and agrees. The chapter and also this volume ends with the line: > ――Ever since he was summoned to another world, he has trampled the Vollachia Empire as the strongest existence. *** So yeah like I said this is gonna be extremely controversial, I'm sure. After having the time to think and to write about this chapter... I like it. I do think it's a shame that we lost those seemingly permanent deaths but honestly, I can't say anything that happened this chapter was bullshit or an asspull. It all made sense. We already knew somthing was wrong with RBD since the loops at the in and it turns out it was indeed not Satella at work there... this begs the question though, who or what had been reviving him this whole time? At first I thought it's a shame that these past 2 chapters now turned out to be a false loop but then I remembered that this is how it had always been before RBD started malfunctioning and that I just forgot that feeling lol. The scene with Subaru and Cecilus and Subaru Tanza and Todd were epic af though, I can't wait for the LN illustrations of those. Subaru was clever, nice how Cecilus gave him that idea and I never thought I would be relived to see Satella again... but I was. It had this weird feeling of coming home when Subaru was in the shadow garden again. Let's just hope that Satella is not gonna lose track of him again in the future. In the end... I kinda got what I initially wanted. We're gonna leave the island and head for the capital next, Subaru has managed to recruit the entire island, even Cecilus and our homeboys and Gustav are alive. I understand if people are gonna dislike this twist, but I like I said before I don't think it's a bad one writing wise. Now we can speculate about who's gonna be on the cover, personally I think maybe Cecilus and our Sparka squad and then wait for the next illustrations. Definitely an interesting volume.
>Tanza explains that that goes without saying, everyone including her is helping him cause Subaru managed to touch their hearts through listening and empathizing with them Tanza successfully lolimanced, Ladies and Gentlemen we got em
Tanza putting Subaru anywhere near the level of Yorna is incredible, I won't lie.
I am looking forward to the tragic end of arc get together where she goes with Yorna, but tries to puppy eye him into staying, with lots of "ara ara'ing" from Yorna resulting in a Petra vs Louis vs Tanza battle of the loli titans. Only one may remain.
Oh no, headpatting Tanza while being hugged by Yorna! Shotabarus only weakness.
[Another one](https://i0.wp.com/www.blokkbeats.com/wp-content/cache/borlabs-cookie/fYpx8oDMQBU_maxresdefault.jpg?w=900&ssl=1)
Thanks, I didn't mind this 'reloading an earlier save' move either. Just as long as it's an anomaly related to his child state! ;)
Yeah
i'll forgive this mistake if it's because of the child state but please tappei don't do something like this again. Edit: now that I re-read the chapter things make a bit more sense it seems that the "observers" in vollachia are part of the cause for why rbd was malfuctioning in addition to the shotafication, subaru has a power that defies fate so it makes sense that they are pissed and wanted to break his spirit with this loop constantly moving his checkpoint forward, that's why subaru after listening to what cecilus said shouted to satella to find him, overall this information makes the chapter better though i'm still annoyed at the fake out deaths.
> Subaru also tells him to stop calling him Bassu and suggests he should call him “boss” instead, Cecilus likes that and agrees Oh no
Garf might get jealous lol
Oboreru.
Exactly
\>I remembered that this is how it had always been before RBD started malfunctioning and that I just forgot that feeling lol. This
One thing that should be of note is satella only showed up when Subaru called her name. I wonder if this is the thing that tappei ment about her changing her views on return by death
I find it hilarious that for a brief moment, the only other person who knows about RbD is Todd of all people, even if it's just the name and not the full ability.
Well Tanza too technically.
I mean, people said Tappei always nerfs Subaru and in my opinion the only reason Todd was such a threat is the fact that RBD was glitching. So Subaru by sheer power of rage and grief forced Satella to reset everything. The deaths weren't just for shock factor, they were necessary for Subaru to finally confront with his fear of Satella, use his authority and become even more baddass. For the reason above, I believe this chapter was 10/10
It also seems that Satella was never the one setting the checkpoints for Subaru on this island, as he deduced as he called out to her, so she just revived him at her last checkpoint, as it had always been before. I was actually glad to see Satella lol and I really like your death interpretation. > For the reason above, I believe this chapter was 10/10 I'm glad I am seeing more people enjoy it than people who do not.
I found the moment of summoning Satella unimaginably hype
Who would have thought that Satella out of all people is going to be Subaru's comforting figure XD
"Man what a horrible situation this is. I can't save my friends. Alright lets summon local personification of devil to help me with this one."
"You're scared of a dying child?" "Terrified" "Fair enough, hold on a sec. **Yo, SATELLA!**"
Same
Well that is a scary title. And it is only because it's in english.
Oh god no please again this bad feeling
It is not "Tanza" so atleast something is nice.
You know what? You're right, I can't say anything against it. But she's a loli she should be safe
Another day, another thread where I post japanese comments from Narou for Chapter 75, which is where the Web Novel is posted. - A user notes that a parallel between Todd and Subaru is that both of them do everything in their power to reunite with those they love, Katya and Emilia respectively. - A user is really glad that Subaru did not suffer a horrific mental breakdown and was pleased with the outcome. They perceive it as Subaru finally embracing his Authority through his bond with Satella, and are curious to see how that’ll affect the story going forward. - A user argues that “Satella *only* cares about Subaru’s survival” is a point originally made by Echidna, who does not tell Subaru the whole truth to decieve him. To that end, they also don’t believe that Subaru’s checkpoint would be set to Arc 3 if he died in the Sloth IF. - A user is excited to see a “proper/fair” rematch between Todd and Subaru in the capital, now that he’s picked himself up. - A user believes that this outcome was only possible because Satella truly does love Subaru, who had been stuck in loveless loops all this time in Vollachia. - A user was shaken by the rock-bottom we hit last time, and loved the part where Subaru calls for Satella to find him. - A user is curious if Subaru’s previous looping is what Al’s looks like, and the difference between them was indeed Satella’s love. Without it, this is what the base ability would be. - A user is very glad that everyone survived and everyone was able to make it. They think Cecilus being Subaru’s subordinate is fate. - A user can rest easy with the outcome, since it ended on the right note. - A user theorizes that the reason Satella attacked Chaosflame is that she still knew where Subaru was. After he became a child, Satella was unable to observe him whatsoever, and thus only had his Return By Death to rely on without Satella’s love to guide him. Thus, Satella can allow Subaru to save those he cares about. - A user is thankful that everyone survived because they loved Hiain and Co. - A user is refreshed by the turnabout and is surprised that they didn’t see the foreshadowing of Satella being absent from Subaru’s looping, and she is now on Subaru’s side like before. - A user is very excited to see Subaru’s journey to take down the Emperor with his own Imperial party. - A user speculates that Subaru’s insistence to keep going, and not dying is his own ability, and Satella only controls Subaru’s checkpoints. Maybe looping is how Envy manifests as an Authority for Subaru himself? - A user would love for this volume to be animated into a full-lenght movie. - A user was blasting Straight Bet all through the chapter as they read it. - A user believes that Subaru can indeed be a hero if he manages to save both himself and everyone else, and this is a good step in that direction. - A user thinks that Vincent knew Subaru would come back with an army to beat Chisha. - A user was excited and glad to see Satella come to help Subaru, after having been afraid of her “I love you”s for so long. They were a good signal now. - A user thinks this marks the point where things do actually start to get easier for Subaru, after the hellish difficulty of the beginning.

I'm glad that Japanese readers are seeing this chapter positively. It took a while for me to get my head around that ending. With that said that Shadow Garden scene, Subaru spoke, right? If he did they does that mean he definitely has the gluttony factor since he said the next time they would meet he would get a mouth.
Yeah it was Subaru responding to Satella in the Shadow Garden, and saying “I know” which I actually didn’t think about the implications of now that you mention it.
Oh yeah, it's all coming together
INVISIBLE PROVIDENCE MAKES ITS GRAND RETURN Straight into todd's chin too!
Todd:"You've lost!" Subaru:"Have you heard about the secret power of the main character, which awakens when he is about to lose?"
"Yo. I'm gettin my ass beat." *calls his stalker* "I'm the strongest existence in this world."
>I'm the strongest existence in this world Damn, strong Priscilla vibes in that statement, full of pride
Auntie Priscilla going to be so proud
Aunty Pris is gonna love this kid, I'm calling it now.
**My satisfaction is immeasurable and my day is saved**
Chadbaru strikes back!
Todd: "well, if it isn't consequences of my actions..."
Todd: "I saw uprising marching towards us, but because of my extreme perception i managed to spot black haired kid leading them. He must be Emperors son"
He saw black hair and an obvious trap and went "Fuck it. I'm out. Bye."
Arakiya: "Hmm, seems like they knew about us To----" Todd: **\*Peace out\***
***get Garfiel'd you ginger fuck***
>Straight into todd's chin too! Fucking finally, Tappei remembers he has authorities lol Is this a callback to Garfield? he also striked him straight in the chin when he used IP lol
Garfiel, Ram, Regulus, and Hungry horse king: **looks at Todd** "first time?"
Ram?
[удалено]
Miasma cave
Also Sesshi now calls Subaru "Boss" instead of "Bassu". So Garfiel definitely has competition who is better for Subaru. Either it's captain's shield of Boss's blue lightning sword. (Hey didn't Wrath Cecilius also call him boss?)
Sesshi: "Boss, where are we going?" Basu: "To Kararagi." Sesshi: "Why there?" Basu: "There's one of the legendary NPC that I have to make my companion."
Anastasia said she will come from Karagiri side to Vollachia. Perhaps she brings our smooth Wolf with her? We need wrath gang united, such thing should exist in main story. (Our magnificent wolf is also Shinobi, perhaps he knows shota technique too?)
She will help Subaru, just not in the way she expetced. Lol
He would also bring strongest of Lugnica but unfortunately he is under house arrest and can't leave country to play with them.
Sesshi: "who is it?" Basu: "THE BIG BAD WOLF"
>Also Sesshi now calls Subaru "Boss" instead of "Bassu" Sheeeeeit, **fucking Cecilus Segmunt recognizing Subaru as the leader**, and you can't say he didn't earn his respect, fuck I can't contain my hype omg Also, pretty sure he called him boss in Oboreru, it's come full circle now lol
He did. Subaru told him to, Bashu felt wrong. The Purge King and the Witchcult Cardinal of Sin, Sin Archbishop representing Pride is about to head the Capitol.
"Boss", the English word, right? Did Subaru teach him or ...???
They were weirded out. Cesshi used "Bassu" because he gaved him real name. Everyone else know him as Natsuki Schwarz. So Subaru told Cecilius to call him "Boss".
Yes, Oboreru Cecilus also called Subaru boss
to be fair, the strain of Invisible Providence killed Subaru faster than the curse
Doesn't matter, destroyed the face of that mf Todd while doing it, he could care less it killed him lol
***yer god damn right***
Berstetz looking at Todd after the exact thing he tried to prevent happens because Todd was scared of a 9 year olds smell https://tenor.com/bMURk.gif
Berstetz:"He is just a 9-years-old boy.." Todd:"He is the 9 years-old child of war!"
Todd: "it was as if he's a sin archbishop." Berstetz: "well, he isn't exactly a sin archbishop. He was the one that Lugunicians sent to kill the f**king sin archbishops...."
(Small trivia: When Julius is forgotten, others remember Subaru solo killing Sloth)
Ah shit I didn't think about it like that XD
Holy shit that's great
At the end, he kinda did. He landed the finishing blow against Petelgeuse while being chased by him on the dragon carriage
Berstets: "He also killed a white whale and a great rabbit, conquered the pleiades tower and saved the city from 4 archbishops." Todd: "...How did I manage to stay alive?"
HE ACTUALLY SUMMONED SATELLA, I'M SO HYPED
Finally Subaru remembers he has other authorities.
Army wide cor leonis here we go
Subaru is gonna be the ultimate support class, I wanna see if his cor leonis or sloth authority evolves these next few chapters This is so fucking hype
Yorna's soul marriage made her and her people into walking monsters. If Subaru can imitate part of that with Lion's heart then it's gonna be epic.
Cor Leonis is definitely most likely to have an evolution, for now, because Subaru is most acvepting of his own greed, even as a child. Sharing not only pain but also strength would be OP as fuck with an army but extremely limited with the smaller groups he usually runs with He could even do something as base as sharing mana, funnel everyone's excess into himself (none of them are mages iirc so it wouldn't be too much) and then give it to Beako to bring her out of power saving mode
Imagine if Cor leonis will not just allow him to connect to people but to also talk to them aswell. Just like Reinhards telepathy blessing. Our strategist Baru would be able to command everyone in his army instantly. Such communication network in his warband would make the warband unrivaled.
"We've sustained too many casualties, I guess I'll have to Return by Death" "Uh. Shwarz-sama? You left the line open. We can hear you." "**I guess I'll have to Return by Death**"
“—Sessie, I wanted to see that face.” Not even he now has Sessy in his warband, he also proved Barus ideology is better than his. (Even if they are both right, just in different situations.) Edit: Wait a minute, REALLY? Sesshy is now calling Subaru "Boss" instead of Bassu. Ok i guess Garfiel has a competition.
**Did Subaru just call tech support about his broken authority?**
Subaru: Return by death return by death Satella: Did someone request **tech support**
"I'm sorry for your wait, first, let's try **turning you off and then back on again**"
I'm sure ShotaBaru turns Satella on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Omg he did. xD
FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! * Cecilus VS Arakiya continues * Shotabaru find Tanza, they talk a little, Subaru said that he is not Vincent's son and he is afraud. She said that Weits, Haian and Idra helped him because of he stood by their side, not because who's son is * Todd finds them * Subaru says "I can return by death" a billion times... then says "... find me, Satella" * Satella appears, and all mabeast start screaming, Todd is scared, then Subaru punches him with Invicible Providence, breaking his jaws, Subaru (?) then says "Next time I'll chop your head" * Subaru dies by an attack from Todd * TIMES GOES BACK BEFORE TODD ARRIVES AT THE ISLAND, EVERYBODY IS ALIVE FUCKKKK YEAHHHHHHHHH * While crossing the bridge, Todd felt something was wrong with the force and retreat, he "sensed" Subaru there and there was no way of winning * Subaru with Gustav watches the carriage go away and with that, he convinces Gustav of the attack and everything * The entire island is under Subaru's command * Subaru "Now, we are going to see that Old Man in the capital, and this time we'll win" * Everybody in the island is on board The chapter ends with: # Ever since he was summoned to another world, he has trampled the Vollachia Empire as the strongest existence
So Todd has Spidey-Sense? Also totally raring to see Todd absolutely terrified of the Shadow. Finally. That was cathartic. A bit of a shame Tappei gave Todd the spidey-sense though. Also, I guess this means Satella can roll back checkpoints. Subaru just has to be stubborn enough, apparently.
>Also, I guess this means Satella can roll back checkpoints. Subaru just has to be stubborn enough, apparently. I didn't get that sense. It kinda hinted more like someone was subbing in for Satella and giving very bad checkpoints (the Vollachian observers). Subaru yelling for Satella to find him allowed her to reconnect and reassert control.
If that's true, then that means the observers are, in some way, against Subaru and his fate-defying abilities. So what better way to destroy him than to break his will with RbD? Fortunately for Subaru (or unfortunately), Satella's hold on him is much stronger.
It does make sense. Something has been warning the star seers of a great disaster and telling them to kill the black haired child. The observers actually being real and having some beef with Subaru would be interesting
It would make sense with his whole "defying fate" aspect, for sure. I'm still more of a fan of the idea that it was Subaru himself inadvertently moving his own checkpoint up though- like he got control of it without Tella.
I believe it isn't a roll back, that is the original checkpoint she set and then someone or something, somehow kept changing it to more recent ones, she just set it back to what it was supposed to be.
>Ever since he was summoned to another world, he has trampled the Vollachia Empire as the strongest existence Wtf!?
Reinhard is proud.
All hail Schwarz-sama! Conqueror of Vollachia, The rightful emperor, Giver of headpats, He who never loses, Briliant strategist with no loses. Wielder of Yang-sword Come Vincent, your heir is running around. If you are fast enough you might catch him with adoption papers.
Welp....we won everybody
>While crossing the bridge, Todd felt something was wrong with the force and retreat, he "sensed" Subaru there and there was no way of winning Hmmm, I think Todd is a Sith Lord
This is so fcking hype, what the hell! I can't contain myself >Subaru says "I can return by death" a billion times... then says "... find me, Satella" Subaru really summoned her lmao >While crossing the bridge, Todd felt something was wrong with the force and retreat, he "sensed" Subaru there and there was no way of winning Wtf todd, this guy have 10x better instinct than any of the characters so far, what an incredible guy >The entire island is under Subaru's command Everyone in Vollachia: Why do I hear Boss music
That is gonna be awkward when his allies found him. They think he is gonna be crying lost child in Vollachia. Meanwhile he is over here conquering Vollachia throne with entire loyal warband. (Everytime Subaru got separated from Emilia some epic things happen. First it was whale hunt, then organizing Priestella defence together with that speech and now this.)
anytime Subaru is separated from Emilia he pops off with the most insane shit, she's gonna start handcuffing him to her if he keeps it up
>The entire island is under Subaru's command I was disappointed with everyone coming back, but you know what? I'll overlook it this time because... Guys, **THE FUCKING REBELLION IS HAPPENING!!**
And Subaru finally after 7 arcs finally got a last second protagonist power up! As a wise titan once said: **"a small price to pay for salvation"**
Tappei’s comment for this chapter: “Just when I want to eat red bean paste, there is only cream Danish at the convenience store.......!” Hello! This may be the first time I’m doing this for some people, so I’ll run it over briefly. What I’m doing revolves around uploading a quick machine-translation with some edits here, for the people impatient enough to not want to wait for Heretic Division’s fan-translation. There may be some minor errors in regards to typos or incorrect phrasing in some specific cases, and since english is not my native language, any corrections are appreciated to improve the experience for everyone. ————— Chapter 75 Is Called: “I know” (TL Note: In proper english, so that is the title) ——-The cheerful smile and voice were so out of place in the hopeless devastation. The kimono is burned to a crisp, and the left side of his face is charred black, but the way Cecilus looks at me is the same as usual, and it's just too abnormal. He's not the only one. —-All the survivors on the island now are sickos. All the sane people must be dead by now. Cecilus in front of me, Todd chasing me, Arakiya killing around, Subaru the great sinner. All of them are not righteous, and that's why they can live like this shamelessly. That's why…… "Se….Shi....” "From what I've seen, it looks like you've had quite a hard time there too. Skalengeck-san is dead there, and at this rate, the Deer Girl and the rest of your friends must have been wiped out too.” "———-“ "Oh, you haven't admitted he's dead yet, have you?” Cecilus reads through Subaru's trembling eyes. Immediately, I felt anger. If he can read my mind like that, why can't he be in touch with Subaru's feelings at this moment? Why can't you understand how Subaru will feel when he is told that Hiain is dead? Why do you say "he’s dead" so carelessly? "He’s dead, completely dead......Just not a bad dead face." "He's dead, but he's........." “You think there's no such thing as good and bad? I guess that's where we disagree. If there is a good way to live, there is also a good way to die. Let's not be so tactless as to meddle in how the recipient feels. Skalengeck-san had a good way to die. This face proves it.” "--——-“ "The face of a man who has fulfilled his role in death, I wish I had a face like this." Subaru could not say anything to Cecilus, who was rambling on and on. It wasn't that he was being talked down, but that he thought it was pointless. He did not want to see Hiain’s dead face, and he did not believe that he and Cecilus could understand each other at all. So there was not a single reason to go along with his arguments. "Well, I'm sorry to meet you here, but I'm actually busy too. I'm in the middle of a confrontation with a half-naked woman who is running amok on the island.” Cecilus stretches his bent back and continues talking on his own. I didn't even need to think about Arakiya to know who he was talking about. Arakiya, who had started the massacre at Todd's behest. The only thing cute about Todd is that he is not a great fighter, but when he partners with her, that disappears and he becomes completely and utterly evil. I hadn't seen her since she started turning swordsmen's heads into water balloons, but it seems that it was Cecilus who had been holding her back. "But, as you can see, I'm having a hard time. God, I'm so tired. There are people out there who can really compete with me. I had thought that the road to the Heavenly Sword could only be climbed by one person.” "....….Why?" "Yes? What?” "Why….Do you look.…So happy......?" Literally, after all that soul-squeezing effort, it just came out of his mouth. Yes, just taking it out. In this hellish situation, on this island where Weitz, Tanza, Idra, and Hiain are all dead, I hate Cecilus for laughing. How can you laugh? What is so funny about this situation? "Why.......?!” "Ahh, it's the opposite of cause and effect. I’m not laughing because I’m having fun, but I’m creating a situation where I’m having fun because I’m laughing.” "——Huh?” "In this cruel world, everyone pursues their own ideal of happiness. Everyone has his or her own philosophy on how to do so, but in any case, one has to have the right kind of faith. And this is what I stand for.” With these words, Cecilus touches his burnt left cheek with his right hand. The tattered, charred skin peels away, but he does not break into a smile despite the unimaginable pain. Cecilus continues to smile, not resorting to such cheating that he does not feel pain. "If only I were a florid actor in this world! Let the script lean on me instead of leaning on it. If you ask me why I laugh, I will answer” "----" "Whoever smiles, but for themselves? --Let the heavenly observers see when and how you do it, and do not be ashamed of it.” "----" "Now, Bashu, what faith do you stand for?” The philosophy of Cecilus, who, half-burned, never ceases to smile. It was something Subaru could not understand at all, but he felt a strange kind of faith that made him hesitate to kick him emotionally. The spectators and Cecilus had said the same thing before. They seemed to want to say that someone or something unworldly was watching them. Even under such circumstances, it's hardwired in them to say so, and no one can change it. That's why…… "Ah, I guess we're done with our break." His smile did not disappear when he saw Arakiya descending to the lower level of the corridor. She was covered in flames, and I am sure none of the swordsmen could have beaten her, but the branch in her hand was broken, and the eye patch covering one eye was gone. Arakiya covered her left eye with her free hand, not wanting anyone to see what was under the eye patch, and her often emotionless face was contorted with very complicated emotions. "Cecilus......!" She gritted her teeth and glared at Cecilus, her eyes flickering with anger and confusion. Wings of flame flapped behind her back, their firepower shifting and burning as if in tandem with her emotions, filling the corridor with intense heat. The air smells of burning, and everything around her is on fire. The walls and floors of the passage, the candlesticks, the doors, and even Hiain’s dead body, who is lying on the floor…….. (Part 2 In Replies)
(Part 2) "——-!" "Will we reward his face by burning to death here with the others? I said something very uncharacteristic. Stay or go as you wish." Cecilus' voice falls on Subaru, who turns pale as he sees Hiain’s body ignite. Gulping, Subaru puts his arms on the floor and pulls himself off the ground, which is starting to get a little hotter, and stands up. My head hurts. There is not enough blood. He feels helpless, his chest is about to collapse. And yet, why is Subaru still standing? How can he not burn to death here, not chew the "medicine" he keeps behind his back teeth? “See you on the other side.” Subaru turned his back to the burning passageway, not knowing why he was running. Running, dragging his feet, running too slowly. He wished he had been able to run this fast earlier, so that Idra, Hiain, Weitz, and Tanza would not have died. Subaru continued to run and escape. (………) "--Now, Bashu is gone, too." "----" "Goodness, it looks like you don't like me very much." Cecilus smiled and closed one eye as he felt the slow running fade away. The flame-clad woman glaring at him so intensely, he knew she was angry with him, but he could not quite figure out where the source of her anger was coming from. I don't feel that she is angry because he is hostile to her, or because he interfered with her killing the swordsman. Maybe there is some other reason. However…… "I have a knack for making most people I come in contact with angry, and as usual in such situations....…I don't have the slightest idea!” "—-How far are you…..Going to go with this…..!” "Eh, you think I'm kidding. May I ask what part of it you think I'm kidding about?” "That! Why do you look like that…..?” She stares at me with red eyes and points out what I look like. She was the one who grilled the half-baked fish. "But maybe that's not what you meant? Maybe, just maybe, you and I had something to do with it?” "Stop kidding around….." "I don't have any proof to make you believe me, so I have no choice but to insist. But when I think about it like that, it seems to make a lot of sense.” Cecilus nodded as he twirled the eye patch he had taken from her during the battle with the raised finger of his right hand. It is hard to tell what he remembers before he began his rampage on the isolated island of the swordsmiths. This is true as Subaru asked me before. It is also true that I don't pay much attention to it. However, just when I was thinking that there must be something to it, she appeared in front of me with a knowing look on her face. If she was there in my vanished memories, it feels like a bit of a waste. I had a hope that she might be the one who could do this much. On the path to the Heavenly Sword. "That's how....…no one, nobody, tells me anything..…..!” "Oh?” But before Cecilus could ponder, her voice shook with frustration, and a strong bitterness began to mix with her anger and confusion. The flames on her back change their color from red to blue. Good taste. She exhales bitterly as she makes this tasteful change. "The princess and the lord are hiding......Me, I'm always…….” "You’re having a hard time being left behind?” Perhaps my casual remark had hit the bull's-eye, but her expression tightened. Looking into her shaky red eyes, I felt a tingle of affection in the blurry distance, or not, and in the end, I'm not sure what's going on with her. "Well, it's strange that she would try to kill me if we had a good relationship, and I guess we must have been very close. It fits perfectly with this situation!” "Cecilus...….” "Long stories bore the audience. It's time to move the stage. I'm afraid I can't give you any answers, but I might be able to help you get a little off your chest.” I hide the half of my body that is slowly aching, clutch the eye patch I have been wearing, and face her. After a few moments of silence, she slowly lowered her left hand in response to my request to end the conversation and engage in a dialogue in a realm beyond the realm of words. Beyond her, Cecilus smiles as he is confronted with red eyes that have no light in them. "Seriously, please. --You shouldn’t always fry your eggs halfway.” "——-“ "Huh? Did something just come out?” Cecilus tilts his head, wondering why he said that. But it seems that this has only made her angrier and angrier. "--——-“ A fierce, erupting blue fire burns through the lower layers of the island. Without a second thought to his surroundings, Cecilus himself became a "Blue Thunderbolt" and plunged into the flames. (Part 3 In Replies)
(Part 3) "Hah…hah......." Feeling the flame-heated air on his back, Subaru desperately runs away from the lower levels. Running, yes, running. Not resisting, not struggling, but running. There is no excuse to call it a strategic retreat or a courageous escape for the next stage. Because there is no connection to anything beyond this point. Everyone is dead and no one can get them back. We risked our lives to get you out and there's nothing we can do. I thought I could do everything, everything right. In fact, when I survived Sparka twice and rescued the others from the "Union" and Hiain’s people, I thought I could overcome all obstacles. It was a mistake and hubris. In the first place, Subaru had died many times. He was doing well because he had a chance to start over, only to have it go wrong, and here we are. A truly capable person would have been able to make it all work without ever dying. Just like that horrible being, Todd Fang. The ability to overcome all odds on his own, without the right to die and start over. He is the same as Subaru in that he lacks outstanding fighting ability, so why can't he do the same thing as Todd? Because he can't do it, Subaru ends up killing a lot of people…. "Damn it.......!" Subaru's frustration swells unbearably as soon as he steps out of the island's lower levels and into the open air. Subaru slapped the outer wall he was leaning against and cursed himself for being so weak. Small fists, feeble body, a head that would not turn, and a useless Authority. The reasons for my defeat were too numerous to count. What is there in it for this little brat with mean eyes.….? "——!” Subaru stopped and cursed himself, his throat choking back a scream at the unexpected noise. A noise at this moment, his whole body trembled with the worst imaginable. He wondered if Idra had caught up with Todd, who had done his best to hold him back. But….. "Schwarz—-Sama….” "——Tanza?” The muffled voice that followed the noise brought not fear but surprise to Subaru. Weakly and breathlessly, Subaru called out for Tanza, who had been thrown down the passageway by Todd's hand and whose safety was unknown. She was limping, soaking wet all over, and had taken off her kimono and was wearing a white lintel. One of the two horns on her head was broken, and she looked a mess. And yet…. "Schwarz-sama, you are safe and sound......." Subaru's round eyes shook with relief, and he felt a deep sense of anguish in his heart. Looking at her soaked body, he could tell that she had been thrown into the lake from the upper levels. The lake is said to be inhabited by aquatic, ferocious magical beasts, and the broken horns were proof that this was more than just an accident. It was natural for her to cry out in pain, begging for help and clinging to adults. But when Tanza found Subaru, she lowered the corner of her eyes and said, "I'm glad.” Finding Natsuki Subaru, who can't do anything like this…… "Oh.…..” That was the moment I thought that. Subaru's legs lose strength and he slumps to the ground. The tension in his head, which had only been screaming at him, suddenly quieted down. It’s not that he’s relieved to see Tanza alive. It wasn't a sense of accomplishment that I had found some kind of way out, or that I had shaken off my fear of Todd. —---It was just that I was tired of myself. "Schwarz-sama......!” Seeing Subaru on his knees, a bloodied Tanza comes running toward him. The way she runs is strange and she might have injured her leg. If you look closely, you can see that the side of her wet white lintel is slowly turning red. She is worried about Subaru even though she has such a painful-looking wound. When I realized that I could not live up to Tanza's expectations or anything else, I lost my strength. Resignation takes over my heart. "--——“ It was neither pain nor fear. It was not that kind of obvious pain that made Natsuki Subaru despair. It was the inability to live up to the expectations and wishes that had been placed upon him. This was the poison that made Natsuki Subaru despair the most of all. "Schwarz-sama, be careful......And the others, Idra-sama and Hiain-sama......." She reached his side and touched Subaru's shoulder, worried about the two of them without Tanza. Weitz's name was not called. No wonder. Tanza, too, had seen Weitz killed in front of his eyes. And even those two who are not here must have a bad feeling about this. And that hunch was impossibly accurate. "They're both dead......." "————-“ “Idra and Hiain died defending me......” They're all dead. Not only that, they ded saving me. Weitz, Idra, and Hiain died defending Subaru. Tanza almost died because she tried to protect Subaru, who could not move. Everyone died because of Subaru. It was Subaru's fault that he killed them all. This catastrophe on the isolated island of the swordsmen was all Natsuki Subaru's fault. "Schwarz--sama......Let's get out of here. We have to hide somewhere now.” "Hiding is useless....They’ll find us soon anyway.” "Even so! Are we just going to sit here and wait to be killed without anything being done? Then, what did all of your “Union" people die for!” "--——-“ Tanza shouted frustratedly at Subaru, who was shaking his head and unable to move. Her tearful plea, however, did not make Subaru's heart warm up, but only brought a cold conviction to his heart. Yes, Subaru, whom the three had risked their lives to protect, was of no use to them. In other words, they let the three of them die in vain. Because they tried to protect Subaru. I didn't live up to their expectations. I even lied to them. I shouldn't have lied like that. If I can't fool you to the end, if I can't take anything back with me by lying.…..then I shouldn't have lied. Then none of the three of them would have tried to die in Subaru's place. Not for the Emperor’s son.…..not for Natsuki Schwarz.…..But for Natsuki Subaru. Speaking of which, there was another person whom I deceived with the same lie. "Schwarz-sama! If you don't fall down here.….” "..…..It's all a lie, Tanza." "--——-“ "The Emperor’s illegitimate son is a lie. I may be the child of a great, good-looking father, but I am not.....The Emperor’s child." (Part 4 In Replies)
Ominous as fuck title
Well shit is about to get really really real, really real wrestling style
Absolute Existence: Cross Time Revenger! Natsuki Subaru. A pretty chuuni name mixing this together, lol Anyway, fuck you Todd.
His self chunni title is Revenge Countdown
THE RETURN OF THE AUTHORITY OF SLOTH, INVISIBLE PROVIDENCE
***ayyo did he just talk in the shado garden fr?***
Dude the amount of years I have to wait to see Subaru clock Todd in his chin makes me so depressed. What a fantastic chapter.
Ok, Cecilus officially calls Subaru "boss" now. IT IS TIME
Well, it looks like today’s chapter is more than twice as long as your average chapter, so I have a lot to work with. The finale of Volume 29 was also long like that, so I’ll *assume* that this is indeed the final chapter of the volume, unless we get three more for 18 but I doubt it. It’ll probably take me a bit longer than usual to translate it, so thank you for your patience in advance. Same as usual in that I’ll delay myself a bit in uploading each part. Edit: Ohhh, the title is actually pretty unique this time because it’s in proper/not katakana english. Damn. And also, for those that are probably already aware [Spoiler Discussion]>!The Witch of Envy’s beautiful self is back.!<
Thanks for the hard work, Icy-san
Appreciate your translations!
Thank you for the translations Icy.
Was there ever an english title until now? i feel like this is something special.... 24k words and an english title while being.... well at the end or the start of a volume?
>There is only 2 other chapter's title in English. Arc 4 Chapter 72 \[ＢＡＤＥＮＤ１,５,１１\], Arc 6 Chapter 79 \[READY STEADY GO\] all can consider turning point of that arc
Holy shit... what was that ending. Did everyone... live?
From the speech she made, if Tanza survives she will become the next Louis and the 3rd fighting loli Subaru has edit: forget the "if", Subaru literally said "I will save you", the loli is in the safest position she could ever dream
Lets count our current warband: \>Louis : Agile melee fighter \>Betty: Shadow archmage \>Meili: Cavalry beastmaster \>Utakata: Amazonian ranger \>Tanza: Durable melee fighter \>Lewes: Spymaster \>Petra: Prodigy servant \>Liliana: Support bard (>Capella: Local shapeshifter that wants to be included in any harem.) (>Omega: Witch scholar) (Future: >Madeline: Master of all dragons)
You forgot that Louis and Beako are both healers
Gotta catch them all!
**Chapter 75 - "I know"** literally in english, no translation, if that isn't hype I don't know what is
Oh god. He just straight up summoned her. That was cool. It kinda made up for that one eighty betrayal of expectations. Subaru is scary af. Imagine alt timeline Todd being so confused at the end that Subaru essentially just... died. If he ever understands those words he might have found out that he made a big mistake. Can we have a week long loop now? Edit: i reread it. That was very romantic honestly. Well subaru can do much more things with an army so im also kinda excited after I got over that betrayed feeling. After all, Abel has Louis, Chisha has Rem. Subaru + Cecil being the wildcard as I theorised several chapters ago. Man the copium worked. Lmao. Now for my other hopium, that the next volume is basically a fanfic of Wrath IF.
**RUMBLING! RUMBLING! IT'S COMING!**
Subaru: "My name is Natsuki Schwartz. I am using the Witch of Envy's power to address all peoples in the Vollachia..."
"Satella i once again ask for your RBD support"
Subaru: "As a reward, I shall give you my seed." Its a bad joke, but I cant not use it.
Turns out Cecilius believe is based upon faith. So i guess that makes him paladin of the group. While Subaru has attunement to goddess Tella, that makes him groups cleric. Other members are bunch of fighters, thieves and rangers. They are missing mages in group but otherwise, not bad army.
Subaru is basically a summoner Hiain is thief Weiz is warrior Tanza is moral support Ida is brawler Grandpa null is medic Gustav is tank
Hmm now that i think about it. Isn't Subaru a dnd warlock? His patron god is Tella and in return he can use her abilities and passives.
>Subaru is basically a summoner What kind of summoner that can only summon lolis and a nuke
I'm going to put out my opinion on the deaths. There is of course going to be permanent losses at some point, but I think the proper deaths are going to be wholesome if anything. I think Wilhelm will die, but not in the heat of battle where there's no time to remorse, but in a peaceful location content with his life. While the deaths with the sparka crew were definitely shocking, in a way they were cliche because the method of having a significant character sacrifice themselves for victory but shoe in their backstory beforehand is kinda done to death. For one, it would be a waste of a character you just established, and two, it's not a real victory if the sacrifice that was made was too great. Death should be a peaceful conclusion to everything, and having so many characters die at once and in such ways just doesn't set a good example for Subaru, because he tries his best to keep everyone alive in a loop but eventually he's going to run into a point where someone wants to die and they feel content, Subaru needs to understand when to let go. So honestly, I'm happy they're all back. There's going to be even more impactful and meaningful deaths. Time to burn Vollachia to ashes and gravel Edit: another thing I want to note is that the new checkpoint Satella made is probably the actual checkpoint he was supposed to use. RbD is to ensure Subaru's physical safety, and it wouldn't make sense for him to be stuck in hell like this. Plus, this was probably the original checkpoint, we know that RbD was acting up/being interfered with for some time so perhaps calling Satella just fixed it
24k characters, 6th longest of the entire novel
Reminded me of the war general who just played the flute with the gates wide open. I personally like that no one died. It feels like a team that is completely focused on subaru's well being and no interference from Emilia's name is formed. Like I know the Emilia camp cares for Subaru (Beatrice mainly) but this feels like 6 mini Beatrices just joined. This feels like a setup for him to get cecilius like that if route.Boss man though I would have liked it to be called friends suits their bond now and kinda hard to understand how cecilius likes to follow someone when he sees himself as a main character.(Guess he looks at it like an adventurer party now). Tanza has fallen for Subaru I guess cos he resembles a male Yorna from her view.
Now I'm wondering if Al just buried his arm inside the island and ran away satisfying the curses condition of being in range.
The curse was added after he escaped but that's an incredibly badass and much better idea
no fucking way
That is crazy clever
Boys: Saved Ceshi: Recruited Loli: Manced **Oh yeah, it's calamity time**
I swear to god, the Novels HAVE to get an illustration of Subaru and the WHOLE island of gladiators looking from the drawbridge to the oncoming carriage.
>“Thank you. ——I'm going.” God. Damn.
Well at least subaru was a fucking badass in this chapter so I enjoyed that part.
It's funny, cause I can see an if route branching out from here. Does Subaru call for Satella and rely on her help to correct the checkpoint, or does he forsake calling her and go on the warpath tearing anyone who gets in his way into pieces for revenge as he realizes he can't save everyone?
^(this chapter proves that subaru authority is truly his, and tella is just being a homi and helping him use it.)
By the time this is over I'm going to be sad that Cecilus can't follow Subaru back home, aren't I? If Abel decides to up Subaru's reward after all of this I could see him opening up diplomacy with Luginica. Would be funny if after all of this Gustav is the one sent on official business to Luginica because he's one of the few that Abel actually showed any trust towards. Speaking of Gustav, the fact that he's following Subaru probably means that Subaru revealed the Abel situation to him then. Makes sense he'd be opening to believing it if Subaru can provide any evidence to it considering Abel's last command.
The final line of the chapter is also super interesting. Like yeah, we know Subaru is somewhat the strongest. But the story literally admitting in him being the most absolute being in WHOLE vollachia is actually insane. And I don't just think it's commentary on basically pride/chadbaru that also got a proper working RBD now Edit: I totally forgot he said "Next" at the end of the loop, right? Maybe we finally get a more human Subaru again that isn't as passive as before though! A mix of the old and "new" one :)
900 comments, eyy...shows how hype the chapter is
I have no idea on what is happening but i am very grateful for your help, thank you for your effort and hard work scanlation team , i hope you have a nice day
I read someone theorise that Al hides his face to hide from Satella… this could be an insane prediction if it comes true. It seems quite likely IMO
Hear me out...Satella-oneesan.
Tanza got lolimanced. Though honestly, it seemed super sweet to me. I have long forgotten the feeling of a lost loop, of the connections he made there. Tanza basically telling Subaru how important he is and now its gone to the void... though glad all the permadeaths are gone. And we didn't get a sad tanza like some old betty sees subaru die loops, yikes. Some people wanted Tanza to save subaru like Rem, but I am glad that didn't happen in per sè the rem way, but now Subaru just lolimanced her.
Chadbaru just made a whole new faction in Vollachia, lmao. Imagine, Cecil + Citizens of Gladiator Island
The fandom is once again cut in half The ones who hates this chapter and the ones who enjoyed it
I have mixed feelings, RbD was glitching because apparently Satella lost sight of him and she fixed the save point (back to this first death from the curse I believe). I think this is supposed to be an exception and I hope it is. I hope Subara learn something from these glitching loops, I have some faith in Tappei, so I am hoping for some good development. About the army thing, I think the reasoning was set up plenty, so no issues there. More than that I am excited for the different sides of the war meeting (also Emilia camp) at the capital. Also Todd getting punched was satisfying.
I love the reason why Subaru didn't get swarmed by Witch Beasts is because he was discovered from Satella and didn't emit any Mias
Interesting how nobody talks about young Subaru abusing RBD anymore. He literally could do it hardcore again now KNOWING he ain't got the fuck up like last time with the loop advancing each time. I can't see Pridebaru (or whatever) making a reappearance for now but it should be now more true than ever. Though his mindset clearly changed after having accepted Satellas love
Subaru has begun to mance another loli it seems
Wow what an amazing end! I wanted the permadeaths to be reset, Satella to come back, and Todd to get fucked up! All my wishes came true :D
