A Hundred Girlfriends Who Really Love You... In Another World! 47 (Patreon)

"This talk better be important." A yawn escapes Frieren. "I'm beginning to feel tired." And I don't blame, your talk with Hiropon lasted surprisingly long, so at this point it's pretty late... which means I got tons of time to speak with Yunyun.

Thinking about it, that's probably why that talk lasted for so long, it was Hiropon buying time for his daughter. Now the legendary Yunyun time is over though, I'm finally about to question Frieren and Rudeus about... everything, I guess.

We are in a room alone, so no one hears our talks, but the fact that I invited them to such a place is probably making them feel very suspicious. The tense aura this is creating is actually making me a bit nervous.

So I hesitantly nod to Frieren's question. "Y-yeah, it's really important..." In some ways, we are sort of continuing the Emilia questioning. Hopefully that doesn't make her mad, I'm sure she's tired of talking about the girl after all.

Frieren smiles. "I see, though if this is about you struggling in class..." I am struggling in class!? "I'm sure Fern would be willing to help you, though you should study with her alone. She's a... shy girl, too many people will overwhelm her." I see...?

But it's not like I'm lacking for study partners or something, I'm surrounded by super geniuses after all. Now, not everyone is a conventional genius, Eris comes to mind as an example, but they are geniuses nonetheless.

Rudeus hums. "Oh? To be honest I didn't figure Fern was the type to accept helping someone like that. I might actually have a talk with her then." Huh? Are you struggling with something? Don't tell that to Eris, her worldview might collapse.

Frieren quickly shakes her head, panic clear in her face. "Um, in that case, please keep struggling." Isn't that a bit mean!? "Fern she... she... she won't help you, because... you're not a married man." Her face is filled with regret after saying those words.

Rudeus raises an eyebrow, but instead of digging deeper he gives an awkward chuckle. "Well, then maybe I shall ask her for help a few years in the future." Sylphie shall be forever beyond your grasp! "Anyways, I believe we should return to the topic at hand, not that we know what it is." Right, it's time.

I take a deep breath. "Okay, so first of all... If this conversation makes anyone uncomfortable, then feel free to leave at any time." They both nod, though Rudeus is green on the face. I don't want to know what he's thinking. "And second of all... let's not devolve this into a fight, I know it's a sensitive topic for some and... Well, we will get that eventually." I'm talking about Lara of course.

I guess Eris is the one who escalated the situation and truly gave the first blow, but the Bluegumin was totally willing to throw down over the Human God. Hopefully that isn't the case for them...

Enough wasting time Subaru Natsuki. "Does the name Hitogami.. Man-God mean anything for the two of you...?" There I said it, even if I'm regretting not bringing bodyguards like Eris or Darkness right now. Welp, they wouldn't be able to stop a legendary hero like Frieren anyways.

The elf puts a hand on her chin and stays silent, but Rudeus gasps. "W-where did you learn about that? About how I know him? Did Nanahoshi tell you...?" Wait, my Banana knows about him as well!?

I gasp, just like he did. "Um... Eris told me. She said that you explained to her about the Man-God after your party got attacked by Orsted the Dragon God." I shake my head. "This is the first time I'm hearing about Nanahoshi being involved in this though!" When did Ugly Gobbo decide to get involved in messes like this!?

Rudeus sighs. "This... but why are you even bringing him up? How did you learn about that super annoying guy... I mean, assuming you didn't learn about him because Eris told you of course." Because I'm you. Or like you, I guess.

Frieren finally breaks her silence. "I'm also curious about that." So you know him or not...? Well, I will just keep giving out information in hopes that you guys are kind enough to give it back. I probably shouldn't be opening a business...

I awkwardly scratch my cheek. "He sometimes shows up in my dreams and gives me advice... Actually his advice is part of the reason why I even brought Frieren into this conversation at all." She knows the Witch of Envy after all.

Now though, I'm wondering if she actually knows anything about him at all. She has basically said nothing... Well, I'm sure she will be more talkative once we start discussing the stuff surrounding Satella.

Rudeus' eyes widen. "Wait, that's the same thing that he does to me...!" He sighs. "And the worst part is, that even though he's super annoying, and clearly suspicious, his advice is usually right." I haven't had enough time to confirm that or not, but it's good to hear...?

I don't know how to feel about it to be honest. Does that mean I really should feel weary of Lara? That I really should go to Lugunica? That I... really should call for Satella when in danger? Ah, if that annoying god just explained stuff then maybe this wouldn't be happening.

I send him a nod. "I can confirm that he's annoying at least... But... what's this about Nanahoshi anyways? It's news to me." If she has a connection with the Man-God... maybe he talks with all people from Earth?

Rudeus looks away. "Well... You know the stuff with Orsted the Dragon God right? That he's Hitogami sworn enemy for whatever reason and all that." I sort of known, I only heard that information from secondhand after all.

I sigh. "I only know what Eris tells me, so please don't hold back any information. I also have tons of stuff I need to say though..." I haven't even touched on the Lara situation, and now Frieren is back to being silent, which is freaking me out.

He gives me a thumbs up. "Got it, normally I would like to not tell you everything to fuck you over..." Hey! "But... this could get Nanahoshi in trouble as well. To be honest, we both should have told you this way earlier, for her own safety if nothing else." She's in danger!?

He sends me a serious look. "She works with the Dragon God." For real!? Wait, don't tell me that he's the one who is her mysterious benefactor! "When he attacked me... She's the reason why I survived, she convinced him that there was something strange about me." There are many strange things about you.

He continues. "She... was wearing a mask at the time, that mask. Now, when I met her again I reacted by passing out, but if someone like Eris took my place... Things probably wouldn't end well." Got it.

We can't let Eris see Nanahoshi wearing her classic mask. "I understand what you're saying, but... Does this mean that we are Nanahoshi's enemies?" I really hope that isn't the case. Ugly Gobbo is my friend, she's the reason why I even have a chance of building a happy life with Eris.

He grins, it's annoying. "That depends, are you some super loyal follower of Hitogami or whatever?" I shake my head, I don't care much about the guy. "Then she's not, and she's not a super loyal following of Orsted either. All that's happening is that her boss has beef with a guy who sometimes gives us tips." That makes sense...

His smirk disappearance. "That said... Never mention Hitogami in front of Orsted, if you ever happen to meet him of course. He will donut you instead of having a civilized discussion." What do you mean by donut me!?

Well, I don't want to find out. "Got it, I won't talk about this with just anyone. Besides, I already know that type of stuff can escalate into fights... I actually met this girl called Lara who got pretty aggressive once she heard about Hitogami." I might as well warn him too.

And as expected, he looks interested. "Really...? Can you tell me what she looks like? I would like to avoid any fights." There's something I have to admit about Rudeus, he's... weirdly humble?

I know that he actually, genuinely beat Badigadi, instead of being a fraud like me, and yet he never picks fights. I know that if I had his strength I would be swinging my power all over the place.

But let's forget about my scumbag ways for now. "Um... she's a migurdian, with all the traits you would expect from one. Ah, she also has a staff that looks like yours, and... honestly she looks like you in general." I would say it's strange, but Emilia does have MMT's voice...

His face becomes green. "Well, that put some horrible images in my head, but thanks for the warning." He then starts muttering. "I wonder how she got a staff similar to mine however..." I don't know, maybe she bought it from the same guy that sold you yours?

But that's enough of the easy part of this discussion. "So, I'm sure you two are wondering about why I came out with this information..." It's because of Lara of course, but Hitogami has said other concerning stuff...

Frieren sighs. "I'm wondering why I'm here at all. Hitogami... that name is familiar to me, I definitely heard it before, but..." She shakes her head. "It wasn't an name important enough for me to not forget it." If he heard that, he would probably fake cry.

And I'm sure I'm about to surprise Frieren. "Well, the first reason I decided to contact you two was the Lara situation, I never had something like that happen over Hitogami, and so I got spooked." Thankfully nothing bad happened.

Ah, I'm beginning to feel... I have been feeling nervous, and now this is finally the time. "A-and the second reason, and also the reason why I brought you here at all Frieren, is because I know you mentored the Witch of Envy..." Silver haired elves stick together, I guess.

Frieren cuts me off, her gaze is cold. "And what does my pupil have to do with this...? Please tell me this is not another thing relating to that Emilia girl..." It isn't! Honest! Well, at least probably not.

I clear my throat. "I was getting there... So, Hitogami said that if I was ever in danger, I should call for... for the Witch of Envy, because she would help me somehow." There, I said it.

Frieren looks at the door. "This conversation has made me uncomfortable, I'll be leaving now." Oi!? For real!? You can't just decide to leave after I drop the bomb that has been haunting me for days!

But nonetheless Frieren does, she walks out of the door. I guess I did say they could at any time, but I wasn't expecting them to actually use that opportunity...! Seriously, she basically said nothing the entire conversation and left...!

Even Rudeus is looking at the door in disbelief. "I... Damn." That's exactly how I feel right now. Eventually Quagmire looks back at me though. "Um... Sorry, but I have no idea why Hitogami would say that... But he has never lied to me, so I don't see why he would lie to you." Who knows, maybe he dislikes me?

But he did say we were friends, and he called me Flugel for a weird reason. Not that I will have the opportunity to tell Frieren that, since she left way before I could get there. Ah, maybe I just have bad luck when it comes to silver haired elves.

I give Rudeus an awkward smile. "Yeah, I guess... Man, I was hoping Frieren was gonna be my ticket to understanding this mess." I should have invested more time into her route... Wait a minute! Her route is locked! This is unfair!

As I seek into my depressive thoughts, Frieren suddenly returns. "I have decided to fight against my feelings of discomfort, also Fern would scold me if she learned I just left. My apologies." A sudden win!? I'll give Fern my thanks later!

Frieren clears her throat. "Anyways... I have no idea why Satella would be willing to help you out. Actually, I have no idea how Satella would even escape the seal." A sudden loss!? "I guess she could send out an avatar...? But if she could, why hasn't she done so throughout all of these years?" I guess that's true.

If the Witch of Envy can just... decide to start doing stuff again because some random ass man called for her, why isn't she eating the world? Is it related to that Flugel stuff? I guess I better continue telling them my precious secrets...

But for now I'll let Frieren talk, she's given out important information. "Satella was the type who would save a man in distress of course, but that was when she was much younger..." So she used to be a good person?

Rudeus interjects. "Teacher, if you would not mind, may you tell us what made her go mad?" Who knows, maybe she learned that her beloved was actually an old ass man manipulating her. Heh.

Frieren nods. "Yes, though the details are... fuzzy to me. It has been four hundred years and..." She takes a deep breath. "No, I cannot simply blame it on my age. The truth is that it was a time of darkness and misery, my mind seeks to forget it and so nowadays I cannot even recall her face." That's... I guess it was at the time of the Laplace War.

That said, we are about to hear something crazy aren't we? Satella's teacher is about to tell us why the Witch of Envy was bananas...! I'm sure many historians... and not just them, would kill for this opportunity.

Frieren looks down. "Satella... I can remember that she was a kind girl, and a talented girl, so very talented. She actually had enough mana to rival you Rudeus... Maybe a little more, maybe a little less, but she had tons of it." I see, so she had lots of potential.

She continues. "When the war had started, I was sent to recruit Reid Astrea. His accomplishments had already become well known..." I don't exactly know who that is though, besides the fact that he's one of the three heroes. "And Satella was his companion, she followed him to the war." So she's sort of an war hero as well.

Rudeus tilts his head, the gears of his mind are working. "Did she snap with the horrors of the war...? I guess that's plausible." I didn't even think of that, but it makes sense. No one returns the same from such a horrible thing after all.

Frieren immediately denies him however. "No, she... she definitely changed, but she was still kind, honest, brave." So it was something else... I'm sure the elf will explain it eventually, so we shouldn't interrupt her. "After the war, she was even set to be married, but... I split up from her, I decided to hunt down the remains of Laplace's army instead of going with them to Lugunica." So even Frieren will not know what happened exactly.

The elf seems... sad. It's understandable all things considered. "So, the story I'm about to tell, it's... something that was told to me after she was sealed. I heard it from the Divine Dragon Volcanica himself however, so this information comes from a trusted source." That's...

Crazy, I don't know much about Volcanica of course, but I do know he's worshipped as a god, and I also know he's another one of three heroes. That means he must have defeated Satella, that means that just like Frieren said... it's a source of information that can be trusted.

Frieren raised a finger. "Satella got a Witch Factor and went insane, then she got sealed, the end." Oi!? That wasn't much of an explanation to be honest...! Though I guess it's not like I can expect more...

My eye is twitching. "Sorry, but I don't even know what a Witch Factor is... Could explain it please?" Rudeus is nodding in the sidelines, he's probably just as lost as me. Seriously Frieren, you are a teacher right? So make things clear!

She sends us a thumbs up, for some reason it feels wrong to see an elf acting this casually! "It's some super evil mumbo jumbo that gives super powers." That's your explanation!? "My other pupil, Echidna, had one from birth, and it also didn't make her go crazy, because normally it doesn't. Sometimes it does though." Oi...

My eye twitches... again. "Sorry Teacher, but could you... you know... elaborate a bit more?" You basically told us nothing! That was totally an Aqua-Type response! So please clear your silver haired elf reputation by dropping the Aqua allegations!

She smiles. "Of course! Well, normally you aren't born with a factor like what happened with Echidna, but you can obtain one... somehow. And from what I know, the high ranking members of the Witch's Cult possess one." I see, I don't see!

I sigh. "You don't know much about this at all, don't you?" My only response is a pure smile. "You're lucky you're adorable..." That pure smile has healed any wound I might have felt, though the fact that she's probably about to say ew or something might kill me.

Thankfully she doesn't, instead she grins. "Being adorable is one of my least important traits, but it is one that I possess yes." How did Fern become Fern when she was being taught by you?

She then waves me off. "Ignoring the natural attraction all boys feel towards their teachers however..." She read me like a book! "I don't know what this Hitogami wants, I don't even know who he is, but you must absolutely not call for Satella. Understood?" I figured as much.

I nod with a smile. "I won't, don't worry. I'm not suicidal or anything!" Besides, it's hard to think of anything that would push me into needing some Witch's help. I guess maybe if that Orsted guy started gunning for me? That seems unlikely though.

There's one more thing I need Frieren to clarify though. "By the way, there is three more important things Hitogami said." I might as well say everything, specially since they now fully believe me. "He told me to be wary of Lara, but he also said I should follow her advice and go to Lugunica... that's a thing she said I should by the way." If nothing else, I'm close to it...

Rudeus yawns, he's getting tired too. "Well, I already said my piece. I think he's a piece of shit, but he never lies, and his advice has always helped me... Maybe you really should go to Lugunica." I guess so...

Frieren scowls. "He absolutely shouldn't, specially since this figure apparently knows Satella. She is sealed in Lugunica's borders after all, and we do not know his plans..." Ah, I hate all of this confusion!

I fake a cough to get their attention. "Okay, so onto the last piece of information... Does the name Flugel mean anything important at all? Hitogami kept calling me that during our first meeting, and then he acted like I had... disappeared? Well, he stopped calling me Flugel eventually, but he does claim to be my friend for some reason." There I said.

Now that I have laid out pretty much everything that is going on with Hitogami, I feel a strange feeling of... peace, I suppose. It's natural really, to feel nice after saying the things that have been bothering me for a while.

Rudeus doesn't react much though. "Flugel...? From what I know, that's just a guy who planted a tree once. Also, I think he had some records of fighting in the Laplace war...?" For real!? "Hitogami could have been referring to another person though, it's just that this is the one that first comes to mind." I see...

Frieren however... "What?" Simply says that. And after a tense period of silence too, which hopefully means she knows what Hitogami is talking about. Well, I thought she was gonna know everything about Satella, so my hopes aren't up.

After saying that simple word, Frieren walks over to me and... starts pulling my cheeks. "I... Can't remember his face, so..." Her lips are trembling. "B-but no body was found, h-he just disappeared, and... and... But there's no way right? It was four hundred years ago, he was human...!" Oh, so she definitely knows.

I struggle to talk while she pulls my cheeks. "Um...! T-teach...!?" I won't be able to control myself if a silver haired elf gets this close to me. Actually, I might, simply because she looks like she's about to cry.

Thankfully Rudeus is here. "Teacher, do you know what Hitogami was referring to after all?" She clearly knows, but she's also lost in her own little world, so this is his way of dragging her out.

Finally Frieren stops pulling my cheeks, but she doesn't step back at all. "I believe I do, and I also remembered what I know about Hitogami..." So we struck a jackpot!? We just needed to juggle her mind a little bit! "Flugel was... Satella's fiance, a hero, and though most of his accomplishments are given to another this day and age, he is the one knows as the Sage." That's...!

The wrong Flugel then, either that or Hitogami is super lost. That's because I can be many things, but none of them are as great as legendary hero, and even know my biggest accomplishment is being lucky enough to have Eris' love.

Rudeus takes a step back. "W-wait a second! Isn't the Sage supposed to be Shaula or whatever!? And the hell do you mean when you say he was Satella's fiance!" Right, there's also that.

I would never decide to just... date a silver haired elf that apparently used to be very kind and all. Oh shit, I definitely would. But it still can't be me, because Subaru Natsuki is no legendary hero...!

But... the Love God, didn't he say I was being rewarded for good deeds from my past life...? Frieren seems to think it's some sort of amnesia, since she commented about not finding a body, but... but I do know reincarnation is possible.

Then again, there is one more important thing. Goderis couldn't find my official documents, but I know the gods should have kept some stuff about this, since they know Kazuma is Himmel's reincarnation... I'm gonna have to talk with Aqua about this, aren't I?

Frieren waves Rudeus off. "I meant that he used to date Satella of course. I don't remember much about Flugel, but I do remember he was quite the ladies man." See!? Definitely not Subaru Natsuki!

She continues. "And about Shaula... I'm not exactly privy to the details, but she gained much of the credit for Flugel's accomplishments. Nowadays she spends her life in the Pleiades Watchtower, guarding it from intruders." I... have I heard that name before?

Frieren takes a deep breath. "Now... can you please leave for a second Rudeus? No offense to you of course." She wants to talk with me alone? I don't know how to feel about that, but maybe it's a good thing?

Rudeus raises an eyebrow. "S-sure...? To be honest this sounds way above my pay grade. But... what are you intentions towards Subaru? Don't tell me you had a grudge against this Flugel or something." The teacher didn't approve of her student's relationship!? How scandalous...!

She shakes her head. "No. I actually loved him. I forgot him, but... I loved him, I loved everything about him, I adored everything about him." Her response comes out of nowhere, but it destroys me all the same.

And yet she continues, mana filling the air. "That's why, if this is true, I'll find out. That's why, if this is a lie I'll kill Hitogami for defiling his precious name, the only thing I couldn't forget... It's as simple as that." That guy... just made a powerful enemy. There is no way I'm Flugel after all.

Subaru Natsuki isn't a hero, he can support heroes, I guess, but that's it. I'm the type of guy who might appear on history books after he's gone, but it will be something that reads like this, Eris Greyrat was an amazing woman, also she was married to some dude, I guess.

And besides... Flugel is the online nickname I use. How fucked would it be if my past life wad called that? And if it wasn't... and it really is amnesia... Wouldn't that mean I never told my true name to anyone? Not even Frieren.

The girl who is definitely not my soulmate and yet loves my past self... How would that even work? Does a soul change after death? Does a soul change at all? I guess it can, I have so many soulmates because of my past life's deeds after all... I wish I could talk with the Love God again.

After hearing Frieren, Rudeus nods. "Got it. Good luck Teacher, though I'll say it one last time... Hitogami hasn't lied so far." And then he leaves the room, except he won't come back like the elf did.

Frieren wastes no time. "When were you born? From what city did you come from? Do you have any gaps in your memory? Any recognizable, unique traits?" W-wow...!? Is this a job interview!? I heard there are a lot of those going around...

I take a step back, she's too close to comfort. "Um... before anything, didn't you say you remembered stuff about Hitogami? Can you say what it was?" The more we make her think, the more she will recall. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for...

She answers fast, as in she's almost mixing up her words with how fast she was talking. "Flugel sometimes said he was an apostle of Hitogami, he never elaborated. I simply assumed it was his religion." Maybe it really was? Hitogami is technically a god...

But that's more proof that I'm not the guy. I'm not so tasteless as to worship a guy who goes around naked, and the only reason people can't see his dick is weird dream stuff. Yep, surely Subaru Natsuki would have picked a better god.

She closes the distance I made between the two of us. "Now answer the questions Subaru Natsuki. And you better answer them truthfully, you are being judged as well." I... I should have definitely stopped Rudeus from leaving.

I take care not to stutter. "I... I was born eighteen years ago. So, I'm not this Flugel guy, sorry." I remember growing up on Earth and everything... I just hope she won't kill me for my answer.

Thankfully she doesn't. "I see, continue." Immediately my face is filled with confusion, and she notices it. "What you just said means nothing... I still don't even know if I trust you." But... Ah, I see. She's just desperately trying to convince herself that her friend is alive, isn't she?

Sadly I'll have to crush her hopes. "I... This is a big secret, so please don't spread it around. The truth is that I'm not even from this world. I got dragged here by a god, because... he said my true love... loves lived here. I actually come from a world name Earth, and from a country named Japan." I expect shock as I ramble on, but I receive none.

Her face looks desperate. "Flugel was a strange man, he said things that made no sense, he...! He never told us from where he came from." She's gripping her own head, seemingly in pain. "Always dodging the subject, it didn't matter who asked...!" I have a feeling she's going through her lost memories right now.

However... why did she so casually accept what I said? Is it really just desperation...? Maybe... No, that isn't the only thing. Gal Farion knew people from other worlds showed up occasionally, it's not impossible to obtain knowledge.

Frieren takes a deep breath. "Subaru Natsuki, I repeat. Do you have any gaps in your memory? It doesn't have to be a complete empty state either, even if it's just a blur..." I don't... Do I?

I... When I became a NEET my life did become just a blur of sadness, and I can barely recall those days, but... "I remember my whole life." But it had nothing to do with him. "Frieren, I am not Flugel. Either Hitogami was fooling me, or he was talking about another person." I'm trying to take her out of the hole she's digging herself into.

She grits her teeth, much to my surprise. "Shut up, I did not ask for your imput. Do you have any unique traits...? Something that not just anybody has, like a unique mark or something...?" I guess I do?

But that doesn't matter now. "Frieren, I am not Flugel. He's dead, my condolences." Ah...! I don't want to handle an angry legendary elf! No, seriously, this is a dangerous crisis, and she might decide to hurt me.

And speaking of hurting me. "Subaru Natsuki, if you do not answer the question, I'll kill you." Isn't that... a bit too much of yandere behavior? "It doesn't matter if you're Flugel or not at this point. Talking with you is making me remember him, so keep answering." Oh...

This is totally still crazy yandere behavior, but she's a grieving woman, and a silver haired elf, so I suppose I forgive her. If Eris died and I forgot her... Yeah, that would fuck me up, specially if some dickhead showed up saying he was her.

Still, I will admit that I'm a bit scared now, so I answer with stuttering. "I-I... I have a Yin Affinity, and my type of eye is pretty unique... and ugly." Even in this situation, I can't help, but take a shot at myself.

Frieren goes so pale she almost falls down. "Flugel had the same affinity... And he... he too hated his eyes, even though they shone with so much beauty." Is it weird that I'm feeling cucked from a guy I don't even know? And Frieren isn't my lover either, yeah this is weird.

I take a deep breath. "I guess we have some similarities, but in the end we are not the same." And we also have differences, like the fact that he worshipped Hitogami of all people... Or the fact that he is four hundred years old.

I'm eighteen, when he was kicking I didn't even exist... But time works weirdly here, Nanahoshi showed up years before I did... But...! I mean, surely I would be an old guy if I was Flugel!? I am eighteen, and I look eighteen!

Frieren suddenly grips my shoulders with incredible force, it actually hurts, so I instinctively groan. "H-hey, I told the truth...!" She pushes me against the wall, it's almost a funny sight because of how short she is.

She whispers, and causes me too feel a chill. "Call for Satella." There's no way that this is happening. "Call for her, and call for her now, or I'll kill you. This is a dangerous situation, is it not? Then call for her." I can't.

I'm working through the pain to respond. "Teacher... We both know that would lead to a bad ending." She's... she's just freaking out. "Besides, why do you even want me to call her!?" That has nothing to do with Flugel. Does she simply want to see her student?

She grips it tighter, I have to hold back a scream. "If she answers, you're Flugel. Of course Satella would answer the pleas of her lover, even when she's mad, so call for her." That's... that would definitely lead to a bad end!

Her gaze is cold. "If you're not Flugel, she will ignore you, like she ignored me, no matter how much I begged for her to appear. So call for her, or I will kill y-... I will kill everyone here, but you..." There's no way she's saying this...! "Without a doubt I will be stopped eventually, but I will massacre as much as I can, I will become a monster far greater than a Superd, that I swear." I... just what do I do?

I know what I don't do, I don't call for Satella. "Do you really want the Witch of Envy to show up!? She destroyed half of the planet, didn't she!? Literally half of the world!" Damn it, did Rudeus walk so far that he can't listen to my screams!? I would really appreciate some help...!

Frieren rolls her eyes. "She took half of the world, and yet it still stands, Laplace rampaged, and yet the world standards. Everything will be fine, it always is, it always endures. The only cost is the people close to me." Ah, and now she's crying too.

My possible killer is shedding tears. "But what about my world huh? Why does that never recover...? Yes, that's right, my world died a long time ago, and now people keep rudely pocking at it's corpse." That can't be the case.

Because... "And what about Fern huh!? She would definitely die in a rampage like that! Are you really okay with your student dying...!" She may be... she definitely is a yandere, but I'm hoping her love for Fern is worth something.

And it is, because she immediately releases my shoulders. "I... Sorry, you are correct Subaru Natsuki." Her hands glows, and she passes them over my trembling shoulder, immediately the pain I felt before is gone. It must be healing magic.

But her tears haven't stopped. "Please don't... please don't tell all of this to Fern, I didn't mean it." I nod of course. Frieren has officially gained the title of yandere, but I have no doubt that she doesn't want to hurt her student.

And besides... Her love died. I... I would have done the same thing if I was in her place... Okay, I wouldn't, because I'm a weakling, but the only thing stopping me would have been my lack of strength.

I pat Frieren's shoulder. "Okay, and that's that. I'm sorry for your loss Teacher." Maybe I should do something to make her mood better. "By the way... do you remember your first meeting with Flugel?" Maybe remembering something like that will help?

She will probably just cry more, but that's a good thing sometimes. I cried plenty on MMT's lap and then felt way better afterwards, so I can confirm...!

A hum escapes her mouth. "This... first that meeting with Kazuma Satou and now this." You guys talked today? "I don't really remember our first meeting, but... I desperately want to." Ah.

She looks me in the eyes. "I just... I think we looked each other in the eyes, and felt a spark. I felt a spark at least. It is foolish of me, but I believe I was forever in love after that moment." Oi, oi, oi! Then that means...!

My eye twitches. "So Teacher... remember when I told you about the Love God stuff?" She raises an eyebrow, but nods. I think she also finally stopped crying. "Um... the truth is that there is this thing called a soulmate..." This will be complicated to explain.

But it might also give her some closure, so I have to do it. "You see, sometimes when two people's eyes meet, a shock runs through them, and they fall in love. All my soulmates are from this world, so the Love God brought me here." I obviously didn't explain it in detail, but she doesn't need that...

Frieren starts to wipe her tears away. "Me and Flugel... soulmates? I'm certain my soul earned for his, but I don't believe the sentiment was shared." That's probably because guys don't fall in love immediately.

I pat her head. "Don't worry about it, there are other ways to confirm... I'm a soulmate expert after all!" Not really! "For example... if you think of getting in a relationship that Flugel does not feel comfortable with, you're gonna feel sick." I think that's how it works.

Eris was not okay with Rudeus at all, but she was okay with Wolbach. I think that's because I dislike Rudeus, and don't dislike Wolbach... I also can't really test it if it goes both ways, my condition is special after all, with the whole normal people being disgusted at my advances, which means every possible lover of mine is a soulmate, and therefore I don't feel disgust.

It's just a theory though, a Subaru Natsuki theory! I seriously need to find a way of meeting the Love God... But it's not like I have a convenient way of learning everything about soulmates close to me or anything.

Frieren pouts. "That seems a bit... cruel." I shrug, it's not like I make the rule. "But you speak of the truth. Himmel was an amazing man, and yet I simply can't... I can't love him." Oof. But... well, this wouldn't have happened if you had fallen out of love.

I guess that's a yandere for you, I should feel lucky that I haven't met one so far. The whole deal with Ariel for example would be a lot messier if she was one...! It's scary even thinking about it.

Frieren puts a finger to her lips. "It is strange however... I do not feel any disgust while thinking of loving you Subaru Natsuki. Can you explain why that is the case?" Don't just suddenly hit me with that...!

But seriously, what she said is just wrong. "Weird. As a punishment for having so many soulmates, people who are not destined to be with me, tend to be disgusted with just the prospect of giving me any attention." Ah, what a sad fate. "And I certainly didn't feel any shock when our eyes met." It was a serious tragedy.

She's starting to sob... Did I say something wrong!? "Subaru Natsuki... what happens when a soulmate... changes a lot. Like, if they were reborn or something. Would they feel the spark again." I can't really answer that...

I sigh. "Wow, that's a complicated one. I don't think they would...? When I felt the shock with Wolbach for example, she was split in half. I felt the shock with only one half, even though the second one also fell for me." She's finding out I'm a fro-!

Ah, I'm on the ground! A silver haired elf just tackled me to the ground and is now hugging me. "Flugel...! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!" G-geez...! You wanna give me a heart attack!?

I object of course. "Didn't we just have an silent agreement that I wasn't that guy...!?" Except I just went through a step by step analysis of why I probably am. Stupid soulmate things.

She hugs me even tighter. "You're Flugel! Somehow...! I know you are, so don't leave me behind again! I'll go where you go, so just take me! Just accept me!" I'm not... I'm not that guy...

I sigh. "I'm definitely Flugel aren't I?" She nods. "Sorry that I... sorry that I made you suffer Frieren." I have no idea how this entire Flugel thing works, but I do know I made a person who deeply loves me sad. How unforgivable.

She's smiling, even as she cries. "That's...! That's okay! Everything is going to be fine from now on...! Because you finally gave me an opportunity to catch up with you...! Flugel, I..." I'm listening.

"The moment we met each other, I fell desperately in love. You know it's destiny, I beg for it to be destiny, so please share your soul with me." She takes a deep breath. "Forget my student for a second and marry me!" NTR!?

Everyone else is going to kill me. "Yeah, let's get married." I feel like... I just made a move that cannot be undone.

This woman is a yandere after all!
