3rd Pov
The rest of the day passed, with Ram teaching him the basic alphabets, and words, his speed of learning was extremely fast, and to him it felt as if he had eidetic and photographic memory.
In just a few hours he could read basic sentences with ease, surprising Ram and even making her suspicious, however he shoved it up to his genius.
Finally, when the night came, he was escorted by Ram to his room, and when his body touched the bed, his muscles relaxed.
"Should I sleep? What if Rem attacks me?" he muttered to himself, and decided to wait for two hours before sleeping.
After half an hour of uneasy peace, he suddenly heard something, he got up and the door opened with Rem coming inside while holding her Morningstar, her face cold.
"It would have been better if you were in sleep, it would have been painless" she said and Subaru stepped back taking out his knives.
"Can I ask why are you here with the intent to kill me?" Subaru asked gritting his teeth.
"Why? After you have done. You ask me why? You, filthy witch cultist" she spat and swung her morning star, the chains rumbled as the giant metal spiked ball came towards him, Subaru barely dodged the attack and running back he broke the window in pieces and jumped on the ground.
He looked back to see Rem looking at him with a cold face while a single white horn manifested on her forehead, she was about to jump down.
"Fuck!" he quickly ran away, soon in the forest while Rem follows him, however her speed was slower than his.
Unfortunately, she could transverse through the forest more easily than him, and soon caught upto him.
She swung her morning star decimating the trees, while Subaru jumped away in panic, finally he stopped panting a bit and turned towards Rem who also stopped running and leisurely walked towards him.
"I am not a witch cultist! Didn't I already told you all- That I reek of witch's miasma because I am cursed by her?!" he shouted and Rem frowned.
"Yes, but that must be a lie" she said and Subaru's eyebrows twitched and veins appeared on his forehead.
"Lie?! Didn't a fucking Great Spirit checked whether I was speaking truth or not? Didn't your master ordered you to treat me as you would treat him?!" he yelled at her in anger.
To all this, she simply replied "Doesn't matter, I don't believe you. You reek of miasma and hence you are a filthy witch cultist and deserve to die"
He froze- looking at her in disbelief, the absurdity of the situation settled in him, as he erupted in laughter.
"Hahahaha? Me- Me a witch cultist?!" he wiped his tear and then glared at her.
"Now you are showing you true colours, filthy witch cultist" she spat and got ready to attack him.
Then he got in a battle stance as well, and said with serious eyes "Rem- You are fucking beyond redemption"
Her eyes narrowed and she attacked swinging her Morningstar, Subaru dodged it and then charged towards her while yelling, "Shamak!"
A black fog manifested around him erupting like an explosion covering both Rem and him, however he had already her position in mind, and in a second he arrived near her and swung her knife.
The sound of cleaving flesh reached his ears, he swung his knife again, and again, and again. Suddenly something struck his back, throwing him away like a ragdoll.
He crashed against a tree, breaking its trunk apart. His ribs cracked and he looked to find his magic dispelled and a bloody Rem.
"You disgusting Witch Cultist! Die!" she screamed and swung her Morningstar again, this time he didn't had time to dodge, so he swung his knife with all of his strength.
His one knife cracked into pieces while the impact threw him away, he flipped his body regaining his balance, Subaru took deep breaths as he stared at Rem who started going berserk.
"Dieeee!!!" she swung her Morningstar, he tried to dodge it, however due to sudden pain in his ribs he froze and the Spiked ball hit his body hard throwing him away.
"Fuck" he said as he spat out blood, she suddenly appeared before him and his eyes narrowed as he begged, "Sto- Arghhhh!"
His legs became a mush, "Plea-Arghhhh!"
His face was hit by it and his neck twisted, tears escaped out of his eyes as he coughed out a few teeth, she then hit him again, again and again.
By the end his body was a bloody mess, with his limbs crushed, bones visible and meat spread all over the place.
Natsuki Subaru has died for the fifth time. (*32)
