Re: Zero, The Heroes of the Apocalypse

Chapter 5

"Talking"
"Thought"
*Time/Location*

Fun Fact:

Hijiri is the Hero of Conquest. He is quite greedy when it comes to collecting artifacts and rare objects. He is also quite proud of his previous accomplishments. He is also obsessed with the concept of conquering impossibility. One of the creators of the Five Cursed Weapons, along with an unknown blacksmith and a certain witch. Hijiri designed the majority of the devices used by the four heroes. The current holder of the cursed weapon, Masamune, and a weapon of the Apocalypse, the Golden Bow of Conquest.

*Market District*

Hijiri opens his eyes. Looking around, he realized he was in the same spot as the last time the world turned back in time. 

Hijiri: "Well, damn, she threw that chair to divert my attention away from the thrown dagger."

Hijiri was disappointed in himself for failing to notice the dagger being thrown at Subaru. This harmed his self-esteem.

Hijiri: 'But something isn't right. When he died, I felt the witch's miasma, specifically the Witch of Envy's miasma, emanating from him.'

Hijiri: "I'll have to go look for Subaru again, but this time I'll have to reveal it. His powers. Time reverses when he dies."

Hijiri then dusted himself before walking away in search of Subaru.

*Timeskip - Market District*

Hijiri was strolling around, arriving much sooner than the previous loop. He then heard a shout. He went to find out who it was, hoping it was the right person.

Subaru: "Wait! P-please, wait!"

Hijiri fixes his gaze on the source of the voice. Subaru was sprinting to catch up to a certain silver-haired girl.

Subaru: "Wait! Satella!"

Everyone turned to the direction of the voice who is Subaru when they heard the name being screamed. When Subaru screamed the name of the Witch of Envy, Hijiri's face turned pale.

Hijiri: 'Subaru. You moron. Yelling that name in public.'

'Satella' came to a halt. Subaru approached her.

Subaru: "Please don't ignore me! My dying and not doing what you said were my fault! But I was desperate."

Subaru came to a halt and struggled to breathe because he had recently run with all his might.

Subaru: "I went back to the loot house after that, but I couldn't find you..."

'Satella' turned her head slightly to Subaru while keeping her back to him.

Subaru: "I'm sorry for only thinking of myself. But I'm glad you're all right, Satella."

'Satella' shifted her gaze to Subaru. With an irritated expression.

'Satella': "What are you thinking?"

Subaru: "Eh?"

'Satella': "I don't know who you are. But don't call me by the name of the Witch of Envy! What are you thinking?!"

Subaru just stares at her, stunned. His mind is completely perplexed. Felt appeared in one of a building's towers, waiting for an opportunity to steal her insignia.

'Satella': "Why did you call me by the name of the Witch of Envy?"

Subaru: "Because you told me to."

'Satella': "I don't know who told you that, but they have terrible taste! The Witch of Envy is the very symbol of taboo, and you call me by her name, which most dare not even say! "
