IRZ: ALTTC Chapter 59
🕑 Added 2025-09-11 03:00:03 +0000 UTCChapter 59: Subaru-kun, Rem offered.
【 【 “Subaru-kun, Rem has something vital to say.”
In the scene, Rem spoke anxiously to Subaru.
Then, Subaru, Rem, Crusch, and Felix began discussing the matter together.
“So you've already found out something, which is why even though Rem was vague, you could respond immediately, right? Hand over the information.”
“Being demanding will just make people dislike you, you know? Information isn't free, nya. Subaru is just a patient and a guest—why should we tell you anything?”
“Felix, don’t be so cold. In the Mathers' domain, there have been reports of dangerous movements near the mansion. The Margrave has apparently placed part of the territory under martial law. Without going into details, that’s the gist of it. This could also explain Rem’s synesthesia.”
Crusch spoke, then turned her gaze to Rem.
“The emotions I felt from Sister were tinged with anxiety and intense anger. It didn’t feel like she was actively conveying them, but rather that they leaked out unintentionally. Rem believes Sister’s emotions overwhelmed her self-control and reached me.” 】 】

“So it really is about that, huh?”
Otto said.
“Yeah. The Archbishop of Sloth...”
Yuriusu murmured darkly.
“...”
Both Rems—or rather, along with Emilia, Beatrice, and the others—were overcome with a strong sense of foreboding.
At this moment, Subaru had no information but was about to face the Witch Cult.
The worst possible outcome could be the complete annihilation of Emilia’s faction.
Rem recalled that day when Subaru, in despair, had lashed out at her, and her face twisted with deep concern.
“But nya, why is Subaru acting so entitled about demanding info?”
Felix quipped.
Talking about how they must have found something and ordering them to hand it over—what was that about? They weren’t a charity.

【 【 “We have to go help.” Subaru muttered in the scene.
“No, you mustn’t, Subaru-kun! You must follow Emilia-Sama and Lord Roswaal's orders—focus on your treatment. Rem agrees. Your recovery is the top priority now.”
“While we dawdle, things will become irreversible. Rem, just like with the demon beast forest before, we’ll have to rely on ourselves to figure it out. That’s the situation, Lady Crusch. Rem and I are heading back to Emilia first. Until this is resolved, the treatment will have to wait...”
“Natsuki Subaru. If you leave here, you will become my enemy.”
“Wh-what does that mean...?”
“Let me correct one of your assumptions. The reason I’ve treated you as a guest and allowed Felix to heal you is solely because of our contract. If you leave this estate, it will be seen as breaking that contract, and Emilia and I will become enemies.”
“...I misunderstood... I thought we could be friends.” Subaru responded. 】 】

~Inside, the Theater~
“Ah... Lil' Bro, you didn’t actually think this was just for fun, did you? Even if you haven’t experienced it, you must’ve seen political dramas—how could you not know?”
Al was dumbfounded, especially at Subaru’s comment about becoming friends.
“As political rivals, taking you in and healing you—anyone would assume there’s some kind of deal behind it. But it seems Subaru genuinely believed it was out of goodwill. Subaru is really...”
Anastasia sighed.

【 【 “...I’ve made up my mind. I’m going back—back to Emilia. Though it hasn’t been long, I appreciate your hospitality.”
“Natsuki Subaru, I’m afraid the estate’s long-distance dragon carriages are all occupied. The only ones available are slow transport carts or mid-journey carriages requiring transfers.”
Crusch agreed, then added:
“It’ll likely take about two and a half days.”
“More than two days?! Why?! It didn’t even take half a day to get here!”
Subaru was shocked.
“Impossible. The Lifaus Highway we took coming here is now unusable. A ‘fog’ has appeared on the road, so we must detour. Otherwise, the White Whale will emerge.”
“The White Whale?” Subaru didn’t understand. 】 】
。。。。。
~Inside, the Theater~
“Don’t tell me Subaru is planning to go alone?!”
Otto exclaimed in surprise.
“Unless you’re trading your life for information, I really wouldn’t recommend this... It’s too reckless.”
Yuriusu said.
The mansion has three powerful mages and even Ram-san, who can temporarily become incredibly strong.
If even the mansion issued a martial law alert, then Subaru and Rem alone would likely be far from enough.
“...Subaru-kun.”
Rem murmured softly. She recalled how Subaru had once proposed an alliance using the White Whale’s appearance as leverage. Could it be...?
No, she didn’t want to think it, but it was probably true—that in one of his loops, Subaru had truly encountered the White Whale and died because of it.
“Subaru-dono...”
Wilhelm, Felix, and the others also seemed to share the same premonition.
—
【 【 “Well then, we’re off. If fate allows, let’s meet again as friends.”
The scene shifted—Subaru boarded the carriage, with Rem as the coachman at the front.
Subaru bid farewell to everyone there before setting off.
Just the two of them. 】 】

~Inside, the Theater~
“Bro, you’re seriously only going with the blue-haired girl? You don’t have a convenient ability like mine—bring more people, or at least come up with a strategy!”
Al couldn’t help but say.
“Tch, Barusu...”
Ram clenched her fists.
Barusu, are you confident you can handle this alone with Rem? If not, don’t be reckless.
Unlike before, you’re not alone now—if you die this time, you’ll be taking Rem with you...
“Rem has a bad feeling...”
Meanwhile, Natsuki Rem and Rem exchanged glances before nodding slightly.
Even back then, without omniscient perspective, Rem must have sensed the danger.
She couldn’t let Subaru-kun take such a risk. She should go alone.
That’s what she must have thought back then...
—
【 【 “The sun’s already this high?!” Subaru and Rem had stayed at an inn the previous night.
The next morning, Subaru woke up late and hurried to find Rem—only to discover...
“Where’s the blue-haired girl who was staying with me?!”
Subaru shouted at the innkeeper, then found a letter:
"To Subaru-kun:
By the time you read this, Subaru-kun must be furious with Rem.
Rem has left Subaru-kun behind and is returning to the mansion alone. Rem doesn’t expect forgiveness, but please understand.
Given the situation at the mansion and Subaru-kun’s condition, taking you back now would be far too dangerous.
So please, wait in this village for Rem to return. Once everything is resolved, Rem will come back for Subaru-kun without fail.
Please, take care of yourself. Rem begs you—wait here for her return.
Yours,
Rem." 】 】
