【【 “Just as I thought, it's you.”
Then, Cecilus beheaded Roswaal. 】】
。。。。。
~Inside, the Theater~
“Purge King... Subaru?”
Emilia was completely shocked.
“Ah, brother's gone completely insane, 'Purge'... kill everything and get revenge on society?”
Al thought.
“Purge... Subaru... Purge... Subaru... I can't connect them.”
Ram couldn't imagine how the two could be linked.
“What happened to Subaru? What in the world is happening here!”
Beatrice questioned the screen, longing for an answer, but...
“Huh, Betty?”
Beatrice realized she had appeared.
—
【【 “How ironic.”
“Yo, Beatrice.”
The person known as the 'Purge King', Natsuki Subaru, appeared in the mess hall and met Beatrice.
“What kind of look is that?”
Subaru asked.
Beatrice looked at Subaru and said:
“You, you seem completely different from before.” 】】
。。。。。
~Inside, the Theater~
“Betty... is scared.”
Puck could tell, a hint of fear appeared on Betty in the scene.
“How does Subaru look...”
Emilia covered her mouth, utterly astonished.
Subaru looked bone-thin, with dark circles under his eyes, having lost his usual vitality.
“Oh, oh, isn't that the boss? Hmm hmm? This scene looks familiar, it seems like Halibel told me... Huh? Isn't that the princess and her little cat!?”
Cecilus woke up from his coma, sprang up with a carp jump, was drawn to the screen, and then noticed Emilia.
“Princess...sama?”
Emilia was a little confused.
“Though I won't deny that my daughter is a princess.”
Puck said.
“Halibel...?”
On the other side, Natsuki Rem couldn't help but wonder.
Does he know Halibel?
“Hey, you, who are you calling boss?”
Garfiel was a little displeased.
“Rem is dead, Ram's whereabouts are unknown, Roswaal is killed... Is Subaru here to kill Betty...”
Beatrice showed a sad expression as she analyzed.
All signs pointed to Subaru wanting to purge everyone in the mansion.
—
【【 “Do you remember, Beatrice. We ate together here.”
The Subaru in the scene reminisced.
“—I don't remember. Betty shouldn't have eaten with you.”
“...Ah, yes. You don't know. Hmm, that was my mistake just now. It has always, always been my mistake. It has always, always been my...”
And Beatrice extended her hand, as if to cast magic.
“Perhaps the revenge you seek is your rightful power. But even so, Betty, I have my own duty. For that...”
“Don't do this, Beatrice—haven't you made a contract... to protect me?”
Then, Beatrice was firmly held in place.
“Sorry. This way you can't move.”
A wolf beastman appeared. 】】
。。。。。
~Inside, the Theater~
“Oh, Halibel.”
“Halibel?”
Cecilus and Natsuki Rem called out his name together.
“Banan Musou... 'Praiser' Halibel.”
Julius reported his name.
“Taking two peerless powerhouses in the world under his command... Subaru, ah Subaru, your potential is truly terrifying...”
Roswaal muttered to himself.
—
【【 “This is...”
Beatrice, in the scene, was stunned.
“Something like binding shadows, the spy's incredible skill. Just think of it as ninjutsu. Don't worry, it will be undone soon... You are my benefactor. At that time, thanks to you letting me escape, I am alive now. I've always wanted to tell you this.”
“This whole spectacle for something like this... Then you are truly a troublemaker... Really, truly a troublemaker.”
“Sorry. But I know. Beatrice—you and I are the same.”
“—”
“I am very grateful to you, Beatrice... Why didn't you kill me at that time? I am very grateful to you. I probably like you. During that time, only you truly allowed me to rely on you.”
“...Could this confession be any worse?” 】】
。。。。。
~Inside, the Theater~
“Abandoned by everyone... only Beatrice-sama extended a helping hand...”
Otto said.
Everyone could see that Subaru had come to thank her, to repay a debt.
However, this way of repaying the debt was too strange.
“...So that's how it is...”
Beatrice understood, and she was silent and spoke in a low voice.
Searching for “that person”, seeking liberation. That was Betty at that time.
For Betty at that time, the best way to repay the debt was...
—
【【 “Halibel, give me a kunai.”
“Are you sure?”
“Give me a kunai.”
Halibel threw a kunai at Subaru.
Then...
“You, your colors are distinct, truly beautiful...” 】】
。。。。。
~Inside, the Theater~
“Beatrice!”
Emilia was stunned.
Subaru stabbed Beatrice, and dazzling, colorful light spilled from the wound.
So familiar... but also so strange...
Unlike the lifelessness from before, Subaru at this moment seemed to have returned to the noisy boy he was back then.
“To be like that only at a time like this...”
Julius frowned.
“...I'm so envious.”
In some worlds, Beatrice was liberated; in some worlds, I gained a powerful accomplice who calls himself the 'Archbishop of Pride'. So when will this be... Teacher.
Roswaal said enviously.
“But... It's still not enough.”
Beatrice thought.
At that time, for Betty, this was not enough to be considered the best way to repay the debt; it was still one step short...
—
【【 “—Are you, Betty's, 'that person'?”
The boy gently stroked the girl's face.
“Yes. I am, your 'that person'.”
Upon hearing this, the girl couldn't help but cry, her face flushed, and she also stroked the boy's face.
Then, the girl slowly closed her eyes.
She fell into an eternal sleep.
The screen darkened again. 】】
。。。。。
~Inside, the Theater~
“Beatrice.”
“What is it, Roswaal?”
“Do you regret it?”
“Regret what?”
“If you choose this path, you will fulfill your wish and gain liberation.”
“Why regret? Betty's wish has long since changed, to accompany Subaru for his entire life.”

【【 “A drowning person grabs for a straw, there's a saying like that back home. Straw, you know? Probably, there's always straw... Anyway, it's like wheat or something. It means that a drowning person will frantically grab at anything, even if they grab a straw, they can't be saved, but they'll still grab it. Simply put, this proverb means that when a person is about to die, they will do anything to survive. But it's different from thinking on your feet or something like that. There's a chance to turn the situation around there, but the straw is just a dying struggle—Mr. Sigelm?”
The scene changed, Subaru was sitting on a high platform talking incessantly, then his smile disappeared, and he looked at the old man, Subaru called Sigelm.
Sigelm knelt on the ground, noticing his smile had disappeared, and he appeared extremely fearful.
“Ah—sorry, you must be bored. Talking about other topics is my bad habit. If I don't ramble on, I'm a little hesitant to talk about the main point.”
“No... This, I.”
Sigelm said tremblingly, and yet—
“I'm still talking.”
Natsuki Subaru placed his right hand on his lips and pointed at Sigelm with his left hand. 】】
