Surprise! I've Transmigrated Again

In the following days, Adam stayed constantly by Roswaal's side. Fearing he might try something underhanded when no one was looking, he followed him everywhere without leaving his side for even a moment.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever stuck so closely to a man — not even Reinhard had received such treatment.

This made the jealous Beatrice suspect there was something between the two, and she nearly got into a fight with Roswaal. If not for Adam constantly holding her back, she might have unleashed some Yin Magic on that clown.

Emilia's Trial continued.

Though everyone hoped she could pass through smoothly in one go, she actually encountered setbacks and couldn't even get past the first stage.

After several attempts, the half-elf girl gradually became mentally exhausted. Despite Subaru's encouragement and comfort, she ultimately couldn't pull herself together.

But Subaru didn't give up! He continued to comfort Emilia, caring for her attentively.

Young men and women are always awkward at first, but as they adapt and deepen their relationship, they come to understand and accept each other better.

After several days of adjustment, with Puck's voluntary withdrawal and Subaru's heartfelt confession, Emilia transformed into a warrior goddess, clearing all three trials in one go.

One can't help but marvel at how formidable a girl can be when nourished by love.

Not only that, but Subaru and Garfiel also passed their trials. Garfiel, through Frederica's persistent efforts, overcame his inner conflict and reconciled with his sister.

The barrier of the Sanctuary was opened!

All this was relayed to him by Elsa.

By the way, the spy woman didn't reveal her existence because Subaru wasn't mature enough yet, and it could cause problems if she did. If it were exposed that she was Adam's person, the kid would likely list him as a suspect and never trust him again.

Wait! Why do I keep feeling like this is similar to dating a girl, where even a little distrust leads to Game Over?

"Lord Carter, can I go perform the magic engraving now—?"

Since the day of negotiations, Roswaal's attitude had changed significantly. After receiving Ram's report confirming Rem's revival, his respect for Adam grew even deeper.

Whether by coincidence or design, snow began falling on the Sanctuary at the exact moment Emilia cleared her Trial.

"Yes. Let's go meet the Great Rabbit."

Roswaal made it snow in the Sanctuary. The blizzard's arrival covered the Sanctuary in a pure white layer of silver.

The other villagers had been evacuated to the tomb for shelter, while Adam, Beatrice, Emilia, Subaru, Ram, Rem, Garfiel, and Roswaal all gathered in the open area outside the tomb. The snow fell heavier, the wind blew stronger, and everyone waited for the Great Rabbit's arrival.

This was its predetermined route, an unchangeable outcome. They could only face it!

"Alright, everyone has worked hard lately. I'll take care of the Great Rabbit." Adam voluntarily took on the task.

After all, besides him, no one else could stop the Great Rabbit.

"Beatrice, will you join me?"

"Of course. Betty is Adam's Spirit, and Adam is Betty's contractor. How could Betty possibly not fight alongside you?"

"As expected of mine, truly reliable."

Holding her small hand, they floated in midair using Flight Magic, increasing the rate of mana emanating from their bodies to attract the Great Rabbit.

The Great Rabbit follows those with immense Magical Power, and the combination of Adam and Beatrice was particularly enticing!

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Before long, hundreds of rabbits gathered around him. Then thousands, then tens of thousands!

The Great Rabbit, actually known as the Many Rabbits, is a fearsome Witchbeast composed of infinitely dividing rabbits. Even with just one, it can divide limitlessly.

But there is an upper limit to the number of divisions!

80,000! Their maximum division number is 80,000! And to defeat it, one must kill all of them simultaneously!

To successfully eliminate it, Adam accepted Beatrice's suggestion to banish them all to an alternate dimension, letting them kill each other.

"Let's begin, Betty."

"Betty has been ready for a while."

"Good! Here I go!" Adam extended his left hand, using his domain skill on the swarm of rabbits rushing toward them.

◈ Divine Convergence Breathing, Water Style ⫸ Transformation of Time Rain ◈

Enormous Magical Power formed a domain, enveloping the Witchbeasts below, infinitely suppressing their mobility. The Great Rabbits were forcibly confined within the domain, while Beatrice leisurely prepared to unleash her ultimate move.

◈ Al Shamak ◈

This was the highest level shadow magic of the Shamak series, a spell that would banish the Great Rabbit to an alternate dimension similar to the Forbidden Library.

The Great Rabbit tried to escape but couldn't move due to the domain's constraints, and could only watch helplessly as it was banished. A fractured black curtain of light enveloped the Great Rabbit until that space distorted and then returned to normal, with the Great Rabbit disappearing along with it.

It was over. The Sanctuary was liberated, and the threat of the Great Rabbit was gone. With a targeted strategy, the troublesome creature had been easily banished to another dimension.

What remained...

"Roswaal, how does it feel to see Mother again?"

"There's an indescribable bitterness—"

"Hey, don't use such a weird tone in front of Mother!"

"...You're right. I apologize for my disrespect toward my teacher."

The two looked at Echidna lying in the crystal coffin. As the witch who had manipulated their fates, indescribable emotions welled up in their hearts. Whether it was love or hate, or obsession bordering on mad devotion, it no longer mattered to either of them.

"Adam, our agreed upon condition..."

"Ah! I'll give it a try. But don't get your hopes up too high."

"It's fine. For a future that has never been shown, I want to try no matter what."

To this, Adam expressed his absolute commitment to do his best.

After all, if the Witch of Greed Echidna could be resurrected, they would have a much better chance against the Witch of Vainglory Pandora.

Although Echidna didn't have much combat power, her Book of Wisdom was truly powerful, and Adam coveted it as well!

Looking at the white-haired mature woman lying in the crystal coffin, he used all the skills at his disposal.

◈ Heal ◈

◈ Purify ◈

◈ Resurrection ◈

The light in the secret chamber grew stronger with each attempt, but had no effect whatsoever. The Snow White... no, the Witch lying in the crystal coffin showed no signs of awakening.

It failed.

Not just Adam, but Beatrice and Roswaal also felt disappointed.

"Well, it can't be helped. I was mentally prepared for this; failure was within my expectations." With those words, Roswaal headed toward the exit.

From his appearance, he didn't seem as accepting as his words suggested.

However! Before he could leave the secret chamber, he collapsed!

With a thud, he fell to the ground.

"Roswaal...?!" Beatrice cried out in alarm.

"Don't worry, Betty. Roswaal's consciousness was probably pulled away by Echidna." Regarding this reaction, which mirrored Subaru's exactly, Adam reassured her there was no cause for concern, "Though we couldn't awaken Echidna, allowing him to see the woman he's been yearning for — is this a reward or punishment? As expected, Echidna is a Witch with a nasty personality."

"Why didn't Betty..."

"I think... Echidna probably felt there was no reason to see you."

"Eh?"

"You see, Echidna likely feels guilty about you waiting 400 years. Now that you've been freed from that centuries-long bondage, she naturally has no reason to face you."

"...Is that so." Beatrice could only accept Adam's hastily cobbled together excuse to comfort herself.

For Adam, who hadn't seen the Witch or attended the tea party, it was quite regrettable as well. However, his participation wasn't up to him — it depended entirely on the Witch's mood.

Carrying Roswaal on his back, they left the secret chamber.

The banquet had begun!
