3rd Pov
Subaru meanwhile took out his two knives, and without any hesitation charged at her, his movements a blur as he reached in front of her in one-fifth of a second and slashed with his knives.
*Clang*
The sound of metal collision sounded as his knifes met her draggers "How rude to interrupt me!" she swung her draggers only for Natsuki to dodge them.
"Zero! What are you doing?!" Emilia was taken back by his sudden hostility towards Elsa.
He said as he stepped back "Idiots! She is the bowel hunter! If you want to live! Then fight her with me!"
His words shocked them.
"Bowel hunter? No way!" Felt said refusing to believe his words, however Elsa's next words revealed the truth.
"It seems I was exposed- I have never seen you before, so how do you know me?" Elsa said amused and curious.
Felt and Rom's face became pale "Felt I told you! Not to take shady deals! Didn't I?" Rom accused her.
"Old Man! How the heck I am supposed to know she is the bowel hunter?!" Felt argued back.
"Idiots! If we don't take her together, she will kill us!" Subaru shouted shutting them up.
"Fine!" Felt grumbled and Rom quickly ran towards the side, intending to grab his spiked club.
"Emilia use your magic!" he ordered and the half-elf who was in shock recovered and replied "Okay!"
"Hey don't order my daughter!" Puck said as he appeared and launched Ice projectiles at Elsa who dodged with relative ease.
"Your strength is nothing special, just that of a trained Knight. However, your speed is rather unusual… I wonder- How your guts will look like?" Elsa licked her lips as she eyed Subaru.
The fight begins! With Emilia using Ice Projectiles on Elsa, Felt using her divine protection to boost her speed with wind, and attacking Elsa, Old Man Rom using his spiked clubs and Subaru trying best to stay alive and not die.
However, Elsa easily blocked Rom's club, and kicked him away, his figure flew away like a ragdoll crashing against the wooden wall and he was knocked out cold.
"Rom!" Felt screamed seeing her grandpa-like figure crashing against the wall.
She gritted her teeth and swung her knives at she reached her, however Elsa blocked her attack and also Subaru's who was simultaneously attacking her from left.
She kicked Felt away and Subaru stepped back dodging her attack by a hair's breadth.
"Your reactions and speed are impressive, despite your meagre strength" Elsa commented.
Elsa hadn't gone all out, otherwise Subaru and others would have died by now.
"El Huma!" Emilia used her magic, forming multitude of Ice Spears and shooting them at Elsa who easily deflected them using her draggers.
"It seems I should get serious" Elsa said as her expression became cold, she had enough fun tormenting them.
Subaru's expression fell as he realized she just toying with her, his body started trembling.
'Would I have to die again? Just how many times? How many times I have to die so that I can defeat her?' he thought with despair, not wanting to die again.
Elsa suddenly charged at Subaru breaking the sound barrier, Subaru could barely react and just as he was about to die, Elsa's attacks were stopped on her track by bare hands.
"Huh?" Subaru reacted and became surprised seeing the figure in front of him.
She had striking long red hair, cascading down her back, she had shimmering blue eyes and a white complexion. Her face was beautiful and cute at the same time, she was none other than Reina Van Astrea.
"Oh? Who you might be?" Elsa asked as she stepped back, her sixth sense was practically screaming at her to run away.
"I am Reina, a knight! And I won't let you hurt Sir Zero and his companions!" she said not knowing how un-knightly she sounded.
"Reina?" Elsa's eyes widened as she realized it was none other than the sword saint, her grip over the hilt of her draggers became stronger.
"Reina! What are you doing here?! She is bowel hunter and extremely dangerous!" Subaru said in surprise.
Reina looked at him and gave a smile "I am a Knight, and it's my duty to protect you" then she turned towards Elsa who swung her dragger towards Emilia.
Reina quickly intercepted the dragger as Elsa made a run for her life, however the next moment Reina was behind her and she swung the sword that was still sheathed.
*Boom*
Elsa's spine cracked as she was thrown away like a ragdoll breaking through the wall of Rom's bar, and through the old houses.
"Fuck" she said as she coughed blood.
Emilia and Subaru were too shocked by the scene.
'Who is she?! She was able to K.O. the fricking Bowel hunter!' Subaru thought in shock, not recalling any red-haired female knight that powerful from the anime.
"Miss Reina- I am thankful you are here" Emilia breathed in relief and so did Puck, although they haven't met with her before, they knew about the famous Sword Saint.
While Reina felt ashamed of her actions.
As she was stalk-*ahem* following Subaru, and when the Bowel Hunter appeared, she wondered if she should intervene.
However, for some reason, she wanted to come up as a 'Cute girl' to Subaru or rather as charming to him, than a Monster.
So, she used her Divine Protection which only signalled her to act when Subaru was in danger, and she heroically saved him.
'Did I do good? Should I have acted earlier?' she thought in her mind.
"Miss Reina! You should finish Elsa!" Subaru said as he recalled that Elsa was a cursed doll.
"Elsa?" Reina tilted her head in confusion.
"I mean the Bowel hunter!" he said and she realized "Oh!"
"Don't worry, with that hit she will die for sure" as she said a figure charged out from the rubble and ran away at immense speed.
"…"
"…"
(A/N: "…")
'So embarrassing!' she thought while blushing, although she could follow up Elsa. She didn't wanted the fight to escalate to the streets.
She sighed in defeat 'I failed to make a good impression of me'
Meanwhile Natsuki chuckled 'Hey, at least I am alive- That's a plus' he thought.
"Thank you, girl, for saving my daughter. I was worried there for a second as my time is nearly up" Puck said and she nodded.
Emilia too nodded "As one of the Royal Candidates, I would like to express my gratitude to the Sword Saint"
Suddenly Subaru's ears perked "Sword Saint?!"
Reina trembled as she realized that Subaru didn't knew her identity till now- her expression fell.
"You don't know, Sir Zero? She is the Sword Saint of Lugunica- Reina Van Astrea!" Emilia introduced Reina.
Natsuki Subaru was left stunned, he froze on his place as Reina too froze in her place, she looked downwards, her body started trembling with fear.
'No wonder…No wonder…' he thought shocked.
He finally realized why Reinhardt didn't came to save him in his previous loop when he screamed for his help.
No wonder people didn't recognize Reinhardt- As he never existed in this Reality.
No wonder why people called him to 'Fuck off' when he said he was looking for Reinhardt- The Sword Saint.
Because his boi Reinhardt has been gender-bended into a cute girl!
Reinhardt in this world is a chick!
However, Reina misunderstood his expression and surprise- thinking he will now hate her- despise her, shun her, just like everyone and her emotions flooded out.
Suddenly he broke free from his daze and looked at panicked expression of Emilia, who was staring at Reina.
'She is crying? Why?' he thought as he looked at the tears falling on the floor.
He too panicked, and asked "Why are crying?"
"Because you know- Know that I am a Monster" she replied.
He quickly went and hugged her, taking her by surprise.
"Never call yourself that!" he reprimanded her.
She was surprised again and asked "Why? I am Monster-*Sniff* Who stole my grandma's *Sniff*Blessings"
"You are no monster, Reina! It is not your fault that your grandmother died. It is the fault of that White Whale and the Witch Cultists! If someone blames you, then they are hypocrite and fools!" he said, breaking the hug.
His black eyes stared at her blue eyes, "Reina Van Astrea, I thank you for saving my life. You are my Hero- Not a monster. You are someone important to me"
Her heart pounded; her breath hitched. As if an electric current ran through her body, she froze, her tears stopped pouring out.
' I am his hero? I am not a monster?' she thought feeling giddy.
Joy took over her- Immense joy.
Her grief, years of abuse, everything was washed away.
At this moment- Only the boy in front of her mattered.
Reina Van Astrea had fallen in love.
