I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [140]

The Witch’s World

Natsuki Subaru sat in the back of a dragon carriage heading toward the mansion of the Earl of the Frontier.

In just a day or two, he had managed to slay the White Whale and defeat the Sin Archbishop of Sloth from the Witch’s Cult. Finally, a rare moment of respite had arrived.

Despite experiencing death countless times, Subaru’s unwavering resolve and determination to achieve the best possible outcome never faltered.

And the reason for this unyielding drive sat right beside him:

The supreme, radiant, virtuous, and kind-hearted Dragon Priestess of the Kingdom of Lugnica—one of the Five Royal Selection Candidates and bearer of the Dragon Crest...

Lady Emilia!

She was also, as of very recently, the unrequited love interest to whom Subaru had confessed.

—Well, judging from her reaction to my confession, she seems a bit shaken. That means... she’s definitely starting to like me.

—Hahaha, to build such a deep bond with Emilia in such a short time, truly, I am amazing.

“Subaru~!” a sweet, youthful voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

A soft warmth pressed against his side, and Subaru didn’t need to look to know who it was.

“Petra,” he said, his tone flat. “Aren’t you sitting a little too close?”

“No way!” replied Petra, a determined shake of her head making her red ribbon bounce. Her warm, honey-colored hair framed her young face as she clung to him. “Emilia-onee-sama hogged your side for so long earlier. I won’t let go now!”

“I definitely won’t lose to Emilia-onee-sama!”

“Emilia-tan,” Subaru said with a sly grin, attempting to diffuse the situation, “don’t mind her. She’s just saying childish things.”

“That won’t do,” Emilia replied, her tone serious. “Even children need to be corrected when they’re being improper.”

“Oh, come on,” Subaru replied with a helpless smile. “Who even says ‘improper’ these days?”

“You’re doing it again, brushing things off!” Emilia pouted, puffing her cheeks slightly in frustration.

“I’m not a child anymore!” Petra added with a stubborn shake of her head, the rabbit ears of her red headband twitching with indignation.

Subaru couldn’t help but smile at the sight of them.

—I’ve died so many times, accomplished so many impossible feats, and resolved countless crises... all for moments like this.

—Moments of ordinary, peaceful happiness.

—As long as I can see Emilia’s gentle expressions and the bright smiles of those I hold dear, what are a few deaths and hardships?

“Still,” Subaru murmured, his smile tinged with bittersweet gratitude, “I have so many people to thank for helping me through this ordeal.”

His voice softened. “Especially Rem.”

“Rem?” Emilia turned to him, tilting her head curiously. “Who’s that?”

“Rem?” Petra echoed, equally puzzled. “Who’s that? Did she help you, Subaru?”

...What?

...What?!

Subaru’s eyes widened, his pupils dilating in shock. His heart thundered in his chest as though trying to break free.

“Breathe. Breathe!”

Subaru exhaled deeply, trying to steady his nerves. His trembling hands gripped Emilia’s shoulders as he asked gently yet urgently, “Emilia-tan, you really don’t know who Rem is? She’s one of the twin maids at the Roswaal estate!”

“No,” Emilia replied earnestly, her amethyst eyes filled with confusion. “I remember the estate having only one maid, Ram.”

Another deep breath. Subaru forced himself to remain calm, suppressing the storm of emotions threatening to engulf him.

“I’ve heard,” Subaru began slowly, “that the White Whale, one of the three Great Beasts, has the ability to devour not only a person’s life but their very existence and memory. Do any other creatures—perhaps the other two Great Beasts—share this ability?”

“I’m sorry, Subaru,” Emilia replied, shaking her head apologetically. “I don’t know much about that. But if we go to the royal capital, there might be someone who can answer.”

“Got it.”

Without hesitation, Subaru made his decision.

He aimed his palm at his chest and thrust it inward, piercing his heart in a single, decisive motion.

Blood spilled over his fingers, and the familiar black mist enveloped him. The scent of the Witch filled his senses as his consciousness faded.

Subaru awoke with a gasp, jolting upright in the dragon carriage.

Beside him sat Emilia and Petra, both looking at him with concern.

“Breathe, stay calm,” he whispered, trembling violently. Using the breathing technique Master Zhongli had taught him, Subaru forced himself to control his racing heart.

—Don’t panic! Don’t panic! Don’t panic!

—Think! Think! Think!

Though his legs, hands, and body trembled uncontrollably, Subaru clenched his resolve and turned to Emilia.

“Emilia-tan,” he said with a strained but determined voice, “do you know anyone named Rem?”

“Rem?” Emilia tilted her head, confused. “Who’s that?”

Subaru’s eyes twitched, his expression twisting into one of sheer agony. This pain... it was unlike anything he had experienced in all his deaths.

But he couldn’t allow the despair to consume him.

—I can’t let this break me.
—This isn’t the end. There’s still hope.
—Even if Rem is gone, I can still save her.

Subaru pulled out his phone, opening the chat group interface.

The system notifications flashed across the screen:

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate has completed a temporary task: Correct the current Chaos Index of the Witch’s World (Current Chaos Index: 59%, Order Index: 41%). The Order Index of the Witch’s World has increased by 1%. User has received 1 Chat Room Invitation Fragment (5 Fragments = 1 Invitation) (1 Fragment can also be exchanged for 2,000 Points).]

[Hail to Emilia, the Monarch Candidate has completed a temporary task: Correct the current Sloth Index of the Jujutsu World (Current Sloth Index: 68%, Faith Index: 32%). The Faith Index of the Witch’s World has increased by 2%. User has received 1 Chat Room Invitation Fragment.]

[Current Chat Room Fragments: 3 Pieces]

—10,000 points would let me buy access to higher-level tasks or even invite Zhongli-sensei to my world.
—With my current points and these fragments, I can hit 10,000.
—But that’s a last resort.

—The Witch’s Cult has a Sin Archbishop of Gluttony. Their power resembles the White Whale’s. Could they have attacked Rem?

—I need more information. Now.

Subaru exhaled once again, this time with a composed and confident smile.

“Emilia-tan,” he said warmly, “I’d like to tell you about an incredible girl. But you can’t get jealous, okay?”

“Oh?” Emilia asked, curious.

“Her name is Rem...”
