I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [162]

A black-clad girl moved through the inky sea, advancing both slowly and swiftly.

She could feel it—standing before her, the one she loved was waiting for her.

—I love you.

—I love the one who pulled me from the depths of despair.

—I love you.

—I love your face, your voice, your habits, your very nature.

—I love you.

—I love the way you smile so bravely, undaunted by pain, carrying warmth in your expression.

—I love you.

—I hope that, just as I love you, you can love yourself too.

—So please, don’t cry.

—So please, don’t grieve.

—So please, don’t suffer.

—So please, cherish yourself—love yourself a little more, love yourself a lot more.

“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”

“......”

Beneath the darkened sky, from the pitch-black sea, the girl cloaked in a veil of stars slowly emerged.

Ominous black mist rose from her body.

Wherever she walked, thick black liquid trailed behind her.

She gazed at the spot where Natsuki Subaru stood. Step by step, she moved toward him—slowly, steadily, never stopping—confessing her love with every step.

“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”

“......”

Subaru watched her approach. His legs trembled violently, but he forced himself to hold his ground, keeping his gaze locked on hers.

There was no hostility in his eyes. No blame.

His expression was that of someone meeting an old friend.

Finally, he spoke.

“Hello, Witch of Envy.”

“Satella.”

“I am Natsuki Subaru.”

“I am the one you have been declaring your love to all this time.”

The sound of his voice seemed to stir something in her.

The veiled girl halted her steps, stopping about a meter away from him.

Her words of selfish, consuming love continued to pour into his ears.

“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”

“......”

It was the kind of love that could drive a person to madness, and yet—it was also the truest expression of a maiden’s devotion.

This time, Subaru did not flinch.

He felt no fear. He did not run away.

For a brief moment, he couldn’t help but think—if his past self, back in the other world, had possessed this same courage, this same resolve, maybe he wouldn’t have been such a worthless NEET.

But that was in the past. Now, he had Emilia—the one he loved. And Satella—the one who selfishly loved him.

—The one I love and the one who loves me have both appeared before me in this world.

—What a wonderful thing.

—So I have to hold on to this moment.

With that thought firm in his heart, Subaru spoke honestly.

“Witch of Envy—or should I call you Satella?” Subaru scratched his cheek, offering a wry smile. “Sorry. I’ve never once responded to your love.”

“I know I’m an irredeemable piece of trash—always pushing my problems onto others, arrogant, selfish, self-centered.”

“I mistook your kindness for malice.”

“It must’ve hurt, not having your feelings reach me.”

“You’ve been saying ‘I love you’ all this time. That must’ve been painful, right?”

“I’m sorry.”

Subaru bent deeply at the waist, bowing before the veiled girl standing in front of him.

He apologized—sincerely, solemnly.

“I won’t run anymore. I won’t avoid this. I chose to save Emilia. I chose to love Emilia. The tragedies and deaths that followed—all of it was because of my own choices.”

“I chose her, and I accept everything that comes with it. If I were to blame you for my suffering, then I’d be the lowest kind of scum—even I couldn’t stoop that low.”

“So, I’m sorry. And thank you.”

“I can’t return your feelings right now.”

“But we can start as friends.”

The Witch of Envy halted.

She gazed at Subaru, slowly extending a slender hand toward him.

“So maybe…” Subaru averted his eyes in embarrassment, rubbing his cheek.

“You could start by removing that veil, so I can see your face properly.”

“That way, next time we meet, maybe I can wave and call out to you—‘Satella-tan, it’s a beautiful day today!’”

Her outstretched hand froze.

A faint glow flickered in her deep purple eyes.

A few seconds passed.

Then, with delicate movements, she reached up and pulled back her veil.

And Subaru finally saw her face.

Long silver-white hair.

Slightly pointed ears.

Deep violet eyes.

A half-elf.

The very image of Emilia.

The very reason Emilia was shunned.

It was her face.

Tears clung to the corners of her eyes. Sadness lingered on her lips.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow. Her face was steeped in grief.

Subaru froze.

The sheer impact of this truth sent his thoughts spiraling, his mind echoing like the crashing of a waterfall.

Emilia. Satella.

Identical.

One clothed in the white of purity.

The other shrouded in the black of envy.

Their faces were completely the same.

No, perhaps—

Even their presence was indistinguishable.

In his mind, thoughts swirled—endless possibilities, countless theories.

Perhaps Emilia and Satella were related by blood.

Perhaps Emilia was Satella.

Perhaps…

So many thoughts consumed him.

He wanted to speak, to voice his theories, but in the end, he could only let out a sigh.

Then, stepping forward, he reached out—

And took Satella’s hand in his own.

“…What do you need from me?”

“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”

“......”

Her whispers of love continued, like a secret murmured endlessly into his ear.

Subaru endured the weight pressing against his heart, withstanding both the words and the emotions they carried.

Slowly, steadily, he asked once more.

“What do you need from me?”

Satella’s amethyst eyes shimmered faintly.

Her lips moved.

But the words did not pass through the air.

Instead, they echoed directly in Subaru’s mind.

“Live happily. Think about yourself a little more, Subaru-kun.”

“And when all of this is over—someday, when the time comes…”

“Kill me.”

Subaru slowly, firmly shook his head.

He reached out with his fingers and gently wiped away her tears.

“No.”

“I will save you.”
