It was roughly half a month since the Mabeast incident. And Natsuki Subaru, the Mather mansion's resident manservant — and probably the only butler that ever resides in that mansion — was happily mopping the floor near the mansion's entrance.

He had done it, he had finally solved the five day loop that caused his four traumatic deaths in the mansion. And he was happy it had ended.

Looking at his back was a fellow servant and close friend, a girl with blue hair with her bangs covered her right eye who wore the mansion's maid uniform, Rem.

"Oi, Rem!" Subaru called out, "Have you finished on that side? Mine is already finished."

"Yes, Subaru-kun." she replied, with a tone that shows her affection, which Subaru did not notice, "Rem has already finished on this side not too long ago."

"You sure? Sorry, but could I be excused for awhile? I had something to check before I start cooking lunch with Ram."

"With nee-sama? But no need to worry, Subaru-kun." Rem replied, "If anything else, Rem would work what Subaru was supposed to work on."

Subaru gave the blue-haired Oni a smile, but deep inside, he frowned. Seeing that she was working way too hard like he had first seen her during the first loop.

It was actually sad when he thought about it. And it has already been a month after that incident could he not take his mind out of it.

Subaru, despite his looks, whose perceptibility honed and increased with every brutal and gruesome deaths made him... quite aware of his surroundings.

Subaru lightly shook his head, Now's not the time, Natsuki Subaru. he thought to himself, She's no longer the person that killed you in cold blood just because you smell like the witch. It's all in the past now.

Quite frankly, the reason she killed him in the second loop was that he smelled and was given mercy-kill due to his suffering from a curse.

Other than that, she would kill anyone who smelled like the witch without any discrimination... Which was terrifying when he thought about it.

"Anyways, hey Rem, could you do me a favor and bring Emilia's tea in her room."

"Oh, Rem. What are you doing here?"

"Nee-sama..." Rem whispered in surprise, "I was just about to ask the same thing, what are you doing here in Emilia-sama's room?"

It was a short time had passed when Subaru had asked her to bring one of Lugunica's Royal candidate her once-in-a-while tea for the day.

As she opened the door where the half-elf made her residence she found her older red-haired twin sister, Ram, talking to the silver-haired girl she was supposed to serve to; Emilia.

In this current situation, Emilia was also surprised by Rem's appearance. Having anticipated that Subaru was to be the one who brought her tea.

"I was tasked by Roswaal-sama to stay within Emilia-sama's presence for the time being," Ram replied to her younger sister, "Then, what are you doing here?"

"Subaru-kun said he has to be excused for a while and asked me a favor to bring Emilia-sama's tea in his stead."

"Subaru asked you a favor?" Emilia asked in surprise, "Usually he always does things whenever he had a chance. This is quite rare of him to ask a favor."

"Heh, for me that sounded like one of Barusu's attempts to slack off." Ram offhandedly stated.

"Nee-sama, please don't say things about Subaru-kun like that." She said as she placed the tray on Emilia's desk, "I know he has some faults, but one of his redeeming qualities is that he's completely faithful and loyal to Emilia-sama." And also a hero to me. She added with an afterthought. One that she could not openly admit to her sister.

"Is that so..." Her sister said with her usual monotonous voice, before turning to the spirit user, "Let's leave that aside for now. Emilia-sama, where were we?"

"Ah, oh, yes," the half-elf began, "We were just talking about Subaru's performance as a butler. Say, Rem, would you like to take a sit with us? It would be great if you would join us, it might give me and Ram a different side of Subaru when he's... I dunno, alone or something?"

"I humbly accept your offer, Emilia-sama." Rem respectfully bowed, and before she could take a seat. She suddenly froze and her nose twitching as if smelling something amiss.

In certain circumstances, Rem would have no trouble ignoring any foul smell that involves spoiled food, dead rats, witch's scent... Anything that would probably be harmless to Roswaal and anyone else in the mansion.

This time, however, was different.

It didn't take long for the other occupants of the room to notice it as well.

A familiar, flying grey-haired cat literally went out of Emilia's hair, and spoke in a tone and expression that he rarely shows to anyone including Emilia who only seen once before.

"I sensed a surge of mana," Puck began, his tone raising goosebumps including Emilia, "It's being collected in this very room. Not only that, the energy its gathering is abnormal! It's only matter of time before—!"

He was unable to finish that sentence before he and the others disappeared without a trace in a mere instance.

"—It consumes us... Eh?"

The blue Oni let out a confused "Eh?" in response.

"Hah?" Was the only reply by the pinkette

"...!?" The silver-haired girl tilted her head in confusion.

They found themselves in a room which was colored in pure white. No other objects laid before them except for a set a chairs lined up in several rows similarly to that of a theatre back at Lugunica's famous amphitheatre. Constructed after the Demihuman War in decades past.

A large red curtain, which was 5 or so meters tall, was placed in front of where the chairs were facing at.

Needless to say, this wasn't something they've expect after being transported so suddenly.

"...Where are we?"

The first to voice out that thought was Emilia. Representing the question that was collectively thought with the others in their minds.

"Most importantly," the Great Spirit began, "Why are we here?"

Before they could delve in into their thoughts. They then heard a groan, whose voice was too familiar, was heard behind them.

Turning behind their backs, they saw a familiar looking black-haired boy with familiar ordinary face with an evil gaze. Whose body laid on the floor as he murmured:

"Ouch, why is it that I've somehow hit myself face plant on the ground? It's like someone made me some sort of joke."

The boy muttered, not in surprise, but as if he has accepted that line of thought.

With a grunt, he rose from the ground, not noticing the group watching him.

Subaru! Was the collective thought of everyone in first glance.

Before one of them could call out to him, they then took notice of his appearance.

His attire consists of an brown hooded traveling cloak with an orange scarf. He also wore a green coat with a white shirt underneath and black pants. He also wore brown colored boots, as if its purpose was to travel in harsh conditions.

His noteworthy difference to Subaru was that his right hand was dyed with a color darker than black.

After he rose from the floor. "Subaru" took his time to observe the objects in the room, seemingly not noticing the other occupants, in an uncharacteristically calm manner.

"Where am I? I'm sure this isn't one of the rooms of the Pleiades Tower that's for sure. Last time I've checked, we were in the Zeroth floor after finally beating both Gluttony and the Ordeals in the tower..."

"Subaru" muttered, whose words weren't understood by Emilia and the rest. Who were less than perturbed seeing him deep in actual thought.

"Subaru" then continued:

"This white void reminds me at Od Laguna's Corridor of Memories. But, instead of just nothing but a white void, there's odd rows of chairs and a red curtain that reminds me one of those 'Movie Theaters' back home. Though, this might be case here. Wait, is this Louis' own doing? No, that's unlikely. I can still feel her and those twisted brothers of hers inside of me..."

Holding his chin with his darkened right hand, as if deep in thought. A voice suddenly roared, whose blood-lusted tone permeated the entire "room".

"WITCH CULTIST!"

Natsuki Subaru, the Half-elf's Spirit Knight, vanquisher of Sloth, Greed, and most recently, Gluttony; was shook off his thoughts when a familiar voice roared with pure blood-lust and malice.

"WITCH CULTIST!"

It was from that exact moment that Subaru, who had lived in Lugunica for more than a year's time since he was transported from another world, had longed to hear after a certain gluttonous archbishop had done an irredeemable deed.

Time seemed to slow down when he noticed the maid's signature weapon flying at him with speeds that would be as a bullet had he not been trained under the lolicon of a butler Clind after the Sanctuary Incident.

Even under Clind's training, Subaru could only see Rem's attack as a blur. But he was fast enough to utter two words.

"Invisible Providence."

The force that surged through his body, Subaru defined as the power of the witch created by the Witch Factor.

A power which he inherited after he had killed the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.

A power that squirmed inside of him in delight. Joyfully praising its user as it had finally been saw to good use.

Formerly a power that has only one hand and in a painfully short range, with a dangerous drawback after its use.

However, that one hand, that same hand of that was used in assassinations because of its practical invisibility that only the user can see.

Its size was five times larger than a human hand and its range was increased five-fold.

It was that same hand that had effortlessly caught Rem's weapon.

"What!?" exclaimed the attacker. Shocked that her weapon stopped just in front of her would-be victim of her soul-bound weapon.

Subaru's immediately went to his next move. And he knew that this next move would make it a heart-wrenching scene for him.

"Coward's Fear."

"AGHHHHHHH!"

The former butler of Roswaal had already closed his eyes when he uttered those words as he let the spiked flail dropped at his knees.

Cor Leonis was an Authority belonging to a Witch Factor that brought the power of the Sin Archbishop of Greed. Which he was killed and he inherited the power.

Its power was transferring the mental and physical pain from those he had emotional connection with. It was an inverse positive form of "Small King".

However, if "Cor Leonis" was the inverse positive form of "Small King", then "Coward's Fear" was the inverse negative form of "Small King". As it transferred the user's mental and physical pain at his targets, namely those he had an emotional connection with.

With the drawback of using "Invisible Providence" grew five-fold, Subaru had no choice but to transfer the drawback pain of using Sloth's Authority to the person that he was committed on saving a year's past of his present time.

Already flinching after hearing the screaming pain of the one that loved him the most that he had bonded so greatly. The others did not take notice of Subaru's slight trembling as one of their own was focused on glaring at him. Releasing dangerous amounts of mana at Subaru.

"What did you do her!?" She, the elder twin Ram, threatened in which Subaru calmly replied. Knowing the red-haired Oni cared only for her sister greater than anyone else. Even Subaru who knew that Ram warming up to him during the events of the tower.

"I did what I need to do, Oni." He replied, internally cursing himself for acting cold and indifferent. "I did what I could do to stop what was potentially a life-changing event for the present and the future."

"What of it!?"

The one countered Subaru's words was not Puck. Subaru knew as much, it was Rem who said amidst the pain she currently reeling from.

"You took away my village! My parents! And nee-sama's horn! What else could be a potentially a life-changing event when it happened to me, WITCH CULTIST!"

Subaru stood there, silent. Releasing a sigh as if she had a misunderstanding of him.

"...Don't worry. I know what you've been through, and I would be lying if I said I only knew yours and not the others."

"What does that mean, Witch Cultist?"

"First of all, don't refer me as 'Witch Cultist', call me Pleiades" Subaru internally smack his head at his less than so translated name which "Subaru" originated from, "Secondly, let me remove that pain."

In the next moment, the pain was no more as Emilia, Rem, and even Ram could instantly felt the pain in which "Pleiades" had mysteriously inflicted on them. While he, on the other hand, had felt the drawback; but was nonetheless accustomed to it when he was forced to experience multiple times in such a short time when he others were attacked by Gluttony at the tower.

"...Thirdly, I'm here to show you both the past and the future."

"Hah?"

That outburst came from the older sister of Rem, who was shocked and did so in a characteristic manner that Subaru was familiar with.

"So you're telling us," began Emilia, "That since we're mysteriously transported to this place, not knowing how we get here, you were attacked, then you retaliated, and then you're going to show some super important stuff that we need to know about."

Subaru internally revealed a soft smile at her childish conclusion. Which was accurately true.

"Yep! And it's directly involved to your friend who, unfortunately, isn't here... Yet."

"Yet?" questioned Rem.

"Moving on," Pleiades said, ignoring Rem completely who glared at him in anger... Which was ignored as well.

"Each of these moments will be captured in sequences called 'episodes' although they may differ of what you may recognize, the truth will be revealed in later episodes. So until then, please take your seats."

Initially, they did not comply on what he had offered. But, seeing that they're "trapped" in here, they had no other choice but to do what he had said.

Emilia, and Puck sat at the front row of the set of chairs. Ram and Rem sat besides each other at the back row portion. While Pleiades himself sat far right where Emilia was at the front row.

Pleiades watched the others taking their seats as he took a piece of paper that he had found before he was transported into this place. Vividly remembered the contents that was written in Kanji.

It read:

Greetings, Natsuki Subaru
