A Hundred Girlfriends Who Really Love You... In Another World! 54 (Patreon)

"I..." Emilia's lips are trembling, tears are beginning to fall from her face. "For so long, I..." But that isn't Emilia, she looks exactly like her, but what stands before me is Satella, the Witch of Envy. "A-aah..." And she's beautiful.

Her appearance is strange really. I was expecting her to be a silver haired elf like Emilia of course, but... she looks exactly like her. This isn't a situation like with Frieren, where they have similar characteristics, but look completely different.

And the even more strange part, is that I can't help, but find her even more beautiful than Emilia... It must be because I've technically spent more time with her than anyone else... Yeah, her affection meter is secretly maxed out.

This is also probably why I got so depressed when I thought Frieren wasn't my soulmate, after all my affection meter with her must be maxed out as well. Though none of this probably matters much right now.

I flinch and take a step back. "This is bad..." Right now she's slowly walking over to me, the shadows around her coming to life and dancing. I need to be careful to not set her off, or I'll definitely die.

Megumin clenches her staff, she wanted to fight Satella, but now that she's actually here she's as pale as a ghost. "M-maybe I can explode her...?" N-not when we are so close damn it! And...

And it's fine, because we just need enough time for Wolbach to show up. She did so pretty much instantly once the Demon King's army announcement was made, so she will probably teleport here soon.

In fact, I'm wondering why she hasn't done so already, or why the others who also know teleportation haven't either. Maybe Satella is messing up with that stuff somehow? I'm not a mage, so I definitely wouldn't be able to tell.

For a moment Satella stops moving, she slightly shift her gaze to MMT. "H-huh?" Before her face was a mixture of sadness and happiness, but now... it's confusion. "Um..." It's probably because Megumin has the same voice as her.

Since MMT stays silent, Satella apparently deems her unworthy of attention, and goes back to looking at me. "M-my... name. You said my name. You're alive to say my name..." Please don't change that!

I awkwardly smile. "Y-yeah... um... I got some weird amnesia or something though, so... Sorry." She doesn't seem that crazy? At least so far she hasn't killed anyone, so maybe she calmed down after four hundred year?

I take a glance at my own shadow, at Emilia's and Megumin's shadows, they're all moving, connecting to Satella's own shadow, and... rising? No, that's probably a trick of the mind. I mean, I don't suddenly feel a weight on my legs.

Her eyes widen. "A-amnesia...?" And then she throws herself at me with a hug, finally being close enough to do that. "I-I don't care about any of that! You're okay! You're really alive!" I hesitantly hug her back. This is going kind of great!

Emilia clears her throat. "A-are you really Satella?" To my surprise, she doesn't ask why they look so similar. Instead she asks her to confirm whether she really is the witch or not, while sounding completely heartbroken.

Satella looks at her. "Y-you... you're okay..." She's sounding happier and happier. "B-but yes, I'm Satella! And I..." She looks back at me. "Is this a dream?" It feels like it. Aren't you gonna start killing us all or something?

The shadows are already up to our knees. Megumin tries moving. "Oi, Purge King, tell your girlfriend to stop doing the shadow thingy!" But she can't move, and neither can I, and neither can Emilia.

This is bad. I'm being misled by her cute looks, and her tears, and... The point is, she's clearly doing something to us, and Wolbach isn't showing up to save us either! I... For some reason, I have a feeling that being taken by these shadows will mean being beyond Aqua's reach as well.

Which is why I begin struggling. "H-hey Satella, now I don't mean to be... rude and stuff, but...!" It's covering my legs at this point. "Can you tone down the shadow magic!?" And it's rising fast...

And that isn't all either, it's spreading fast. I can see the shadows moving in the horizon, eating all that they can see. Without a doubt this is how the Witch of Envy ate half of the entire world. Shit, she's gonna eat the world, and it's my fault!

Satella moves her mouth next to my ear. "There's no need for that. We can stay here. Just the two of us, interrupted, for the rest of... of eternity..." Ah, okay, I get it, you're a nutjob. I already sort of knew that, but it's good to have confirmation.

Megumin shouts, while trying her best to not be consumed. "Get your hands of my man, you shitty head wife!" Beautiful choice of last words. "And nobody wants to spend eternity with you! You stink really badly!" W-well, someone needed to say it.

Satella flinches. "W-what...? Y-your man...?" She then blushes bright red. "And I do not stink! Right Flugel?" She sends me a questioning look... And I can only look away. "N-no...!" Sorry, but it's true.

It's alright though, out of the three people with affection levels in the maximum in my harem, two stink, you and Eris. The only problem here really is the whole shadows consuming us. Seriously, at this point they're completely covering MMT's chest.

Satella then sucks in air. "And... what's this about you b-being her man?" Damn it Megumin. "I... I guess you do have amnesia... or something." This yandere is showing surprising levels of understanding!?

Emilia interjects. "Y-yes! And... and... you can't let Subaru drown in shadow! He has children on the way!" Satella looks at her so fast, that I almost hear the sound of her neck breaking. "I mean... I'm pregnant, and so is Megumin..." You're still on that!?

Satella gasps. "B-but I... I never even had any children with him, so why..." She's biting her lip. "N-no, none of this matters. It was just an accident caused by amnesia." Her voice grows cold. "Now it's time for us to be together..." She's back to looking at me. Back to drowning us in shadow.

I can't believe she moved past the baby issue so easily! But... for some reason I feel like this talk definitely isn't over. Well, if nothing else, I definitely confirmed that I have no descendants running around. Not that it will matter, considering I'm about to get eaten!

Megumin snorts, her face scares me. "I can't...! I can't believe this!" She's laughing, it's fake of course, but only someone who knows her well could notice that. "What a dumb whore you are Satella!" The Witch flinches...

And so does Emilia... Who then sighs. "Right... I'm not her..." She seems strangely sad over not being called a whore. Seriously, we are about to get eaten alive by some shadow magic, so get your head in the game!

Satella glares at Megumin. "What do you mean...?" I'm surprised the Witch is even giving her attention at all. But at this point it probably doesn't even matter, I already caused the apocalypse.

I can only hope Wolbach and the others... maybe that Reinhard guy, eventually defeat my crazy wife from the past. I really don't want to be the guy who caused the end of the world because he got confused.

Megumin chuckles. "I mean that you're a dumb fucking whore for falling for this amnesia bullshit." It's not bullshit! You know it's not bullshit. "I mean, seriously? You're such a loser that when you hear your husband has been fucking around, what you do is wave it off." I have indeed been fucking around, but...

It definitely wasn't with Megumin or Emilia, and the Arch Mage knows this. I have a feeling she doesn't really care though, and probably just wants to make Satella pissed off before she dies or whatever the prophecy said.

Satella starts crying. Again. "B-but he said..." I won't lie, while I do feel extreme love for this woman... I don't feel like defending her right now. She is trying to absorb me into her weird shadow power or whatever after all.

MMT grins. "Oh, but he said...! Gosh, you're such a clown. He's lying! As the baby growing in my stomach would probably say..." She looks at Emilia. "I mean, Subaru knew about the Flugel stuff when he put that baby into you, didn't he?" I didn't put any babies on her! I wish I had...

Emilia blushes. "This is a very embarrassing talk, but yes, he did!" I... That's technically correct of course. I knew about being Flugel, I just didn't have any memories of it. MMT is mixing lies with truth...

Satella's shadow has... actually stopped? "H-he wouldn't! Flugel loves me! He said so a bunch of times...!" Honestly, considering he... I... stayed monogamous he certainly did. That said, I can't help, but wonder if he did that out of love, or because he knew you were a ticking time bomb.

No, I can't blame Satella for all of this. I know she's crazy because of the Witch Factor... Right? Yeah, she's definitely drowning us all i shadow because of that, not because she's some crazy yandere even in default mode.

Megumin laughs. "Oh, I'm sure he did... But you know... A man has needs, and if you can't satisfy them..." Are you trying to be a NTR villain!? "Let's just say that while we were doing, Subaru was constantly talking about how much better in bed than his hag wife I am." We never had sex!

Also, Satella was sealed for four hundred years, she wasn't exactly in a position to keep anyone satisfied anyways! In the end though, I won't say anything. Megumin is about to... get eaten because of me, she has the right to get some satisfaction out of this.

Satella covers her face. "N-no way...! Flugel always said he didn't care too much for sex! And that he was perfectly okay with me only wanting to do it once per month!" That's true, I definitely would have been okay with that.

She continues. "And I also don't move much, but... it's hard okay? And Flugel said it was okay if I wanted to stand still..." A pillow princess!? "A-and I think... there's no need to try for any of those weird positions or whatever..." Y-you...

Satella is radiating big Rudeus energy for some reason. "A-and... I don't want to say any part of Flugel is icky, but I don't want him to put his penis in my mouth, or my butt... Yeah, it's okay to do it just the normal way, once a month... and in a dark room so he can't see my face. It would be embarrassing otherwise!" This girl...

Is way too pure.

Emilia nods. "Yeah, why would a girl put a penis in her mouth or her butt!?" You're a completely different case of purity, so please don't agree with Satella. Well... not that there's anything wrong with Satella's attitude.

It's perfectly okay that she has her own sexual boundaries she does not want to cross, and I'm glad past me respected that... But... well... she does sound very boring in bed. Which is fine! And it's also...

Perfect ammunition for Megumin. "Y-you really are the perfect little cuck..." Satella gasp, it seems she knows what that word means. "You know... with the way you are, it wouldn't surprise me if Flugel was having some fun behind your back even four hundred years ago." I definitely wasn't, as Frieren can confirm.

Satella immediately shakes her head. "He wouldn't...! Event though we were surrounded by woman... all who liked him... he wouldn't...!" As she tries to convince herself, it's like she drags herself deeper and deeper into Megumin's bullying abyss.

Megumin prepares herself for the final blow. "Well, it wasn't like I was alive four hundred years ago, so I can't say, my ass getting pounded is a very recent development after all!" I'm fairly sure you're a virgin, but I admire your Gumin courage.

MMT has perfectly positioned the knife, and so it was a mix of lie and truth, she... "What I do know however, is that Subaru is dating your teacher. Frieren." Perfectly stabs Satella's heart. A beautiful performance.

We were already gonna die, but now it's probably gonna be a painful death. And for the Emilia who is gasping at this new piece of information, I can only apologize.

Emilia's face is filled with shock. "Subaru, y-you rea~lly are a lady killer, huh? I mean... I already knew about Wolbach and Eris and Darkness, but... do you ever plan to stop?" I imagine I'll forcibly be stopped.

Satella's haunting gaze is focused on me. "A-are they telling the truth Flugel? There's no way, right...?" I... can only look away. I have a feeling she would immediately see through any lie I come up with.

Her body is starts to tremble. "A-ahhh...! Ahhh!" She grasps her head with both of her hands. "No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!" S-so this is what a yandere meltdown looks like... Actually, I can't even call this behavior yanderelike.

It's only natural to freak out if you discover your husband has been banging you teacher behind your back. But I definitely haven't been doing that though! Not that I'll ever get a chance to tell her though, because...

The shadows are moving again, far faste than before, and before I can say anything to calm her down, I get consumed by it. It goes without saying, but Megumin and Emilia suffer the same fate.

I can't breathe. I can't see. I can only feel, and in this place all that I feel is love, crushing love, blazing love, suffocating love, blinding love, mad love, true love, pure love. Both hers and mine.

But it's tainted now, because...

The Witch of Envy moves closer to me, I can see her, but at the same time I can't. "I love you... I love you... I love you..." She's suffocating me with her love, in this garden of shadows she can do that whenever she wants.

But it's tained now, because...

I feel pain running through my body, like my skin is slowly being torn off. "I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!" I can see it, images of them, of all the people I love and care. The Witch of Envy is trying to convince me that I'm wrong. That only she loves me.

But it's tainted because...

My skind is being burned off, my bones are breaking, my eyes are being ripped off, and worst of all... my throat is itchy, just like when I died, but none of that is actually happening. The Witch of Envy is torturing me, but she does not wish to kill me, only to punish me.

What a dumb joke, as if I would accept any punishment for what I did.

I have a body, so even if my voice goes unheard, I can still speak. "Sorry, but I... love..." My strength runs out, but I'm certain that she hears it nonetheless.

I love many people, including her, that's just how it is, and nothing can change that. This garden has been tainted, because I'm not like Flugel who refused to accept that. I would never reject the growth offered to me by everyone.

So even though I never finish saying it, I'm certain that she can hear it. I love Eris, I love Sylphiette, I love Nanahoshi, I love Ariel, I love Lara, I love Frieren, I love Fern, I love Eris, I love Aqua, I love Darkness, I love Megumin, I love Wolbach, I love Yunyun, I love Komekko, I love Yuiyui, I love Sylvia, I love Emilia, I love Satella, I'll love many more too.

Yeah, in this place I can't even deny my love for that banana I used to bully, which is why... I'm sad I'll never get to see her again.

The shadows hold on me get tighter. "Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me. Love only me." Ah.

I'll certainly keep hearing this for eternity. The Witch of Envy certainly will not grow tired of being envious, and I will not grow tired of loving, so without a doubt her whispers and my denials will never ever end.

There's no one to save me either, they can't. So I can only stay here, and hope that someone like Reinhard Van Astrea will show up before that eternity is over. Yeah, what I need right now is a miracle, a lucky break.

The garden is tainted yet again, because something sinless finally enters it. It's a small beam of light, so small that normally it would be invisible to the human eye, but in a place as dark as this... it might as well be a star.

The Witch of Envy finally stops talking, instead she looks above, wondering who dares to do something like this. She flinches though, because now the light is hitting her right in the eye.

And then suddenly... "Argh...!?" The beam expands, and burns. Not me though, only Satella. Only this place.

The Witch of Envy desperately tries to protect her face, but it's not use. The beam grows bigger and wider, mightier, it shines more. And so this garden cannot be held, it collapses from the weight of that which lacks sin.

The beam isn't only covering her though, since it's growing bigger and bigger, it hits me too, and it eventually grows it's size enough that it can hit Megumin and Emilia too. It doesn't hurt us though, it simply cleanses.

The are no more shadows. "U-ugh...!?" The Witch of Envy still stands, but her heavenly punishment isn't over yet. The light is no sword, it's but a gate to call forth an executioner.

And as my pendant shines, I know exactly who's coming. And it isn't only me either, without a doubt every single person in the entire world with any affinity for mana can tell what's about to happen, who's coming.

A blur descends from the beam, with its leg outstretched, it hits The Witch of Envy with a kick right in the face. I can hear the sickening sound of her nose breaking, I can see her blood leaving her body and it immediately getting evaporated.

The Witch of Envy falls to the ground, the executioner grinds her bloody heel against her face. "Okay, you and me! Now!" She has a surprisingly bloodthirsty grin on her face. "Let's see how much time I have until I get the biggest scolding of my immortal life!" As expected, it's...

The person who eliminated the shadows, the person who hurt the Witch of Envy after four hundred years... makes no effort to hide her identity, because without a doubt her aura alone would tell the whole world anyways.

Eris, the Goddess of Luck has descended from Heaven. I have a feeling she will be getting a lot more followers after this.
