Future Yuji Itadori Joins the Chat Group Chapter 45: A Basic Attack Duped Out Your Ultimate

"Subaru, have you already seen Sir Itadori off?"

A smile appeared on Roswaal's face, accompanied by his unsettling, eccentric tone.

He noticed Natsuki Subaru was carrying a bag, which seed to contain sothing inside.

"Yeah, Senior Itadori has already left," Natsuki Subaru replied coldly. "I ca here to see you."

"And is there so particular matter?" Roswaal observed Natsuki Subaru with a curious gaze.

"Roswaal, I know all about your business."

"Oh? My business?"

"Hiring Elsa Granhiert (The Bowel Hunter) to stop Emilia from participating in the Royal Selection by any ans necessary, even killing her at the critical mont—you arranged all of that, didn't you?"

Natsuki Subaru's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes were already filled with rage.

Roswaal's brow quirked ever so slightly.

"That truly is quite a serious accusation, Natsuki Subaru."

There wasn't a hint of anger on Roswaal's face due to Natsuki Subaru's words; instead, he wore a playful smile. "And why would you say such a thing?"

"Because Elsa already told !"

As he spoke, Natsuki Subaru pulled the object out of the bag.

It was the Magic-Resistant Cloak that Roswaal had previously given to Elsa Granhiert (The Bowel Hunter) to help her complete the mission. He never expected it to appear in Natsuki Subaru's hands at this mont.

Natsuki Subaru stared unblinkingly at Roswaal, his heart rate involuntarily quickening.

He had chosen to confront Roswaal directly precisely to see if the man would reveal a flaw.

Would Roswaal deny it to the death?

If so, then Roswaal might actually be innocent.

But—

"Did you... acquire that in the Royal Capital? Oh dear, I thought those assassins' mouths would be sealed tight~ In the end, did she still reveal the employer's identity?"

The smile on Roswaal's face widened, as if the boy before him had given him a surprise. "But this proves one thing! Subaru! You truly are the Child of Prophecy!"

"What... are you talking about?"

Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened in disbelief.

The Roswaal before him gave him an incredibly alien feeling—madness, obsession, and irrationality. All these things that shouldn't normally exist were surfacing on Roswaal's face.

"You used that ability, and that's how you found out everything, right!"

Roswaal laughed sowhat hysterically.

This made Natsuki Subaru feel an even deeper chill.

'That ability...'

Could Roswaal be referring to Return by Death?!

How did Roswaal know about Return by Death?

Seeing the confusion and horror in Natsuki Subaru's eyes, Roswaal pulled out the Book of Wisdom.

"I'm truly curious, Subaru. What is your ability? Is it seeing the future? Or is it that you can... start everything over? I originally wanted to spend more ti verifying it, but I didn't expect you to have already reached this level, obtaining information about from Elsa Granhiert (The Bowel Hunter)'s mouth. Just how did you do it—oh, I see. The key point was ili! That assassin from the Northern Country looks obsessed with slaughter, but in reality, she has things she cares about too. Truly a miscalculation."

Roswaal seed imrsed in his own world, speaking incessantly.

"What... are you even talking about?"

"Since you already know, let's be open with each other, Natsuki Subaru! Our positions are aligned! You want to help Emilia, right? And our positions are aligned! I also have a reason I must fulfill to place Emilia on the throne!"

Roswaal's tone beca sowhat excited. "Natsuki Subaru, our interests are unified. We're perfectly suited to be accomplices!"

But before Roswaal could finish, Natsuki Subaru kept his head down, his expression unreadable, and interrupted him directly:

"You want to help Emilia? What nonsense are you talking? You clearly hired an assassin like Elsa Granhiert (The Bowel Hunter) to stop her! And you used any ans necessary, even killing her!? And after that, you have the nerve to say you want to help her?"

"That's exactly because of the prophecy! It's clearly written in the Book of Wisdom left by Sensei—the Child of Prophecy ets Emilia in the Royal Capital. If it weren't for Elsa Granhiert (The Bowel Hunter), how could you have co here?"

"And what if Emilia had died?!"

"That wouldn't matter; you can just start over anyway~"

Roswaal spoke with utter indifference. He walked to the window and looked out. At this mont, Emilia was in the courtyard, interacting with ili and Rem.

"Your every action... is predicated on the assumption that soone else can start over."

"I never expected you to be able to do so much. Remarkable, truly remarkable! You must have put in a lot of effort! You must have started over many tis! I need you to be able to help Emilia by any ans necessary, regardless of the cost—even if everyone around her is sacrificed, it doesn't matter!"

"Madman? It doesn't matter! As long as we can cooperate! Nothing else matters!"

"How could I ever cooperate with soone like you!"

"Dear , don't be so quick to deny it!"

With a wild laugh on his face, Roswaal moved in front of Natsuki Subaru in a single step.

"Why did you co to find alone? Is it because you're relying on your ability to start over? Or is it that, until you were certain, you didn't want Emilia to find out such news? It's precisely this soft-heartedness that makes you seem a bit foolish, isn't it?"

He grabbed Natsuki Subaru by the collar and hoisted him into the air. The sheer strength was enough to surprise Natsuki Subaru.

Despite being a magic user, he possessed such terrifying physical power.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to force you to cooperate with . Although there's a discrepancy from the plan, I just need to formulate a new one~ Are you ready to start over? In what way will you restart? If I beat you half to death, you'll naturally start over anyway—don't worry, I won't kill you. That would be putting the cart before the horse. I still need your power."

"Roswaal, your words are riddled with errors."

But at that mont, Roswaal noticed a smile appearing on Natsuki Subaru's face.

"First of all, the person who figured out your true face wasn't . I only ca here to test you, and as it turns out, you exposed yourself."

The smile on Roswaal's face gradually froze.

"—Secondly, what makes you think I'm alone?"

The mont Natsuki Subaru finished speaking, the room's window shattered.

A long spear composed of blood lunged into the space!
