...to give up?
Is there no other way to save...
...all, I suppose.
You can do as you like with him now.
I swear...
I'll save you.
Another unfamiliar ceiling.
Ow!
So they barely managed to save my life,
and these are the scars...
Emilia...
I guess now I owe her yet another debt.
I don't know about that.
This time, you produced results equal to the effort invested,
so I doubt Lia will think of it as a debt.
Puck...
Good morning, Subaru.
You say these are results equal to my effort, but I don't remember anything
after I got nommed on by those dogs in the forest.
"Nommed on"? That's a cute way to put it.
But it was actually...
Munch, gobble, snarf, chew, chomp, snap, crunch!
More like that.
With all those sound effects, I should definitely be dead now.
I think I'm five or six arms short for all that.
Yeah, the blue-haired maid took care of the rest of the damage.
She was in awful shape.
Though she heals fast, thanks to her demon transformation.
By the time she carried you back to the village,
she had no visible injuries.
Don't scare me for no reason...
Anyway, Rem went back to the village?
And what about the kids?
Was the curse removed?
No worries there.
Betty and I took care of it, so all's well!
Your judgment was right on the mark!
Clap, clap, clap.
Has Emilia been here all night?
Yeah.
To heal you,
she drained her resources right down to her odo,
so you should let her sleep.
Barusu, you're awake?
Ram...
Listen, uh... I mean, about Rem...
How shameful you are,
pestering others for food so soon after being that badly injured.
Maybe some dog rubbed off on you from the bites.
How the heck does some dog rub off?
Eat this.
Huh?
Sofubozu!
Delicious, isn't it?
I thought I was gonna die!
But yes, it was good!
It's freshly made. I mean...
Freshly steamed.
Why do you look so proud of yourself?!
Okay, okay.
You can have another, so be quiet and eat it.
And well... As for last night, you have my honest thanks.
Nice work.
"Nice work"? Always with the condescending tone.
Was it something deserving of your thanks?
When a domain's people suffer any loss, its lord is held liable.
If that pack of ulgarm had further endangered those children...
You were right to do as you did.
Ulgarm?
That's what those black mabeasts are called?
Yes, but it's all right.
I reconnected the broken barrier,
so the village is safe.
I kept an eye on the barrier overnight, to ensure there were no problems.
No ulgarm should be able to cross it and enter the village.
So you can relax.
Beako...
Hey!
I heard you helped remove the curse from the kids.
Thanks.
No big deal.
Betty only helped because Bubby asked, I suppose.
I have something more important to discuss.
What did you bring me all the way out here to say?
In less than half a day,
you will die, I suppose.
You don't look as disturbed as I expected.
I thought you'd scream and cry, I suppose.
The curse still isn't lifted, then?
When the pack of mabeasts attacked you in the forest,
they planted another curse deep inside you.
Can I ask why this one can't be removed?
That's simple, I suppose.
Too many curses have been placed on you, making it too complex to remove.
Too many curses?
When there's only one, removing it is as simple as untying a knot.
But the curses on you are a complex web of many threads,
too tangled to undo.
Well, I get the idea that it's high in difficulty.
But why half a day?
After half a day, mabeasts replenish mana by activating their spells.
The curse those mabeasts used drains a target's mana, I suppose.
In other words, they made you mabeast food.
So they attack people because they're hungry?
That's a wild animal for you. So simple-minded!
I guess we should be thankful they haven't gotten hungry before now...
You...
You aren't even scared, I suppose?
I'm telling you how much time you have left, you know.
Well, sure, I'm scared.
But I doubt you came here just to tell me I'm going to die.
I don't think you're that mean.
What do you know about me, I suppose?
If nothing else, I feel I've known you four times longer than I really have.
You make no sense!
But it's a fact that the chance for you to be saved is much lower now.
Tell me... Just how low it is.
We're talking about eating by means of a spell.
If the one that's eating dies,
logic says the meal would be canceled, I suppose.
So that's it...
I just have to kill the things that cursed me.
But there are too many of them.
That's why Bubby hasn't told that silly girl about the curse.
Yeah, if Emilia knew, she'd definitely try to do more than she's capable of...
Which makes me really happy,
but also really scared.
Man, the difficulty level is seriously demonic!
This is just plain impossible.
I might as well give up—
So you're going to give up?
Is there no other way to save him?
His head must be hurting, I suppose.
That isn't surprising.
That's all, I suppose.
You can do as you like with him now.
I swear... I'll save you.
It can't be.
Where... is Rem?
Beako... Beatrice, where is Rem?!
In her position, what would you do, I suppose?
I can't ignore what you just said.
Ram...
Beatrice-sama,
Rem didn't go to the forest alone, did she?
I... I have to do this alone.
No one else needs to get hurt anymore!
Why?
Why would Rem go to such lengths for me?
Hey, hold on!
Let go of me, Barusu!
Right now, I'm not calm enough to be kind!
If you want to save Rem,
and if you consider me an ally at all, listen to me!
Do you know where Rem is?
If I use my clairvoyance, I will!
Clairvoyance?
It's a power that allows me to see
what the bugs and animals on my wavelength are seeing.
Then they're like your security cameras?
Well, if we can use it to get to Rem, fine.
So, are you the kind of maid that fights?
What does that even mean?
It means I'm going to the forest with you.
You're going to follow me?
Yeah. I'm bound to slow you down in a fight, you know.
If you expect that I can fight like Rem does in her demon form, I can't.
You're twins, right?
If Rem is a demon, aren't you a demon, too?
Unlike Rem, I'm hornless.
I can only use a rather extreme bit of wind magic.
Going to retrieve the younger sister
would mean giving up on your own life.
You do understand that, I suppose?
That's not quite right. Let me correct you.
Forming the habit of giving up because you're used to dying is dumb.
Life is precious! You only get one!
When you guys went through so much to save mine, I realized that.
So if you don't mind, I'm going to struggle pathetically.
Let's go make a comeback!
I've bounced back from the terrible state I was in.
I'm a greedy guy.
And I want to see this story's continuation, with me in it.
Now, let's get moving to our last big showdown!
Bring it on, Fate-sama!
