Receiving the jolting impact, his body got out of the dagger’s trajectory
.

Not being in a position to sharpen his blade, and even if he did accept
it with his broken knight sword, he would not be able to evade the
severe wound. Was the conclusion that anyone would realise at a
glance, henceforth, Julius was able to notice that he was being
shielded.
However, it was, again, a different subject whether he should express
relief or gratitude for it——.

Julius: [Ricardo——!]

Ricardo: [Shit, he got me…… ~hk!]

With an anguishing voice, Ricardo, who had pushed Julius aside,

narrowed his eyes. When he called out that name, at the same time, a
spout of blood clouded Julius’ vision.

The blood had sprouted from, the rough, bulky right arm of Ricardo

—— having lost everything from his elbow, it was a gash exposing the
soft cross section.

The arm covered in beastial hair gave rise to a sound and fell onto the
cobblestone, and the big hatchet it was gripping, too, made a dull
sound and rolled on the ground.

Julius: [How did such…… ~hk.]

Ricardo: [Argh! This ain’t the time for sayin’ that, Julius! Raise your
head and look towa~rds……]

At Julius, who was breathing heavily, Ricardo slammed a loud yell.

However, that was abruptly obstructed by the attack of the dagger he
suffered on the abdomen, and his nose was smashed and broken by
the solid knee’s direct hit.

Throwing him aback, and as Ricardo flopped onto the floor, with his
limbs stretched out, 『Gluttony』 sneered.

Roy: [Haha~! Aren’t you going to, completely say it ~tsu!]

Julius: [——~hk.]

The form of Alphard, who was shouting out his delight, and Ricardo,
who had collapsed. Seeing the figures of the two, two choices came
up in Julius’ mind.

Which one of the two should he give precedence to, a seemingly

instantaneous gap had been produced there.

And, the appetite of 『Gluttony』 would never overlook that gap.

Roy: [To look away in the middle of the meal, you really don’t have
manners, nii-sama——!]

Julius: [You bastard……!]

Like a springed doll, Alphard leapt trickily. At that phantasmagoric

movement, Julius’ reaction got faintly delayed.

The outstretched palm and, the broken knight sword entangled, and
the feeling of his chest being traced by the palm—— with his slash
being dodged, what followed immediately afterwards was an
inexplicable sense of loss.

Roy: [A~h—— thank you for the treat ~tsu.]

At the end of that voice, for some reason, his consciousness

distanced further, and further, and——.

※※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※

Julius: [Though it is pathetic, in the midst of the battle against

『Gluttony』, my 『Name』 was stolen. Perhaps, that is what this
current situation is.]

Based on what Emilia had said, that truth had been brought to light.

Expressing a cynical smile on his face due to the truth of being

forgotten by his acquaintances, Julius shrugged his shoulders.

Subaru: [『Name』 got eaten…… is that what you mean? But.]

Eating the 『Memories』 and 『Names』 of people was the

blasphemer, Sin Archbishop 『Gluttony』.

The threat of getting the 『Name』 eaten, and having all connections
cut off—— Subaru was well aware of its fearsomeness. However,
looking at Julius now, who seemed to be in a healthy shape, he could
not help but feel his understanding was frivolous.

Subaru: [His victimisation is, like Rem or Crusch-san……]

Having her 『Memories』 eaten, and completely forgetting her own

former self, was Crusch.

Having her 『Name』 eaten, and vanishing from the memories of

people with not a single exception, and continuing to be in a deep
slumber in that state, was Rem.

Victims of 『Gluttony』, the two young girls were sufferers Subaru

was well acquainted with.

However, coming here, Julius had been trapped in a state different

from those two. His own memories having not been lost, nor did he
lose consciousness.

——However, from the memories of his surroundings, his existence

had disappeared.

Subaru: [Really, does nobody remember? If you attempt from one

side……]

Julius: [I have already met with Anastasia-sama and Ricardo. For

some reason, they treated me like an unacquainted person, I have
endured that experience. Being unable to thank the one who shielded
you, is displeasing, isn’t it.]

“————”

Julius, reflexively, killed his sentiments and replied but, his smile which
faintly had too much energy being put into it, or the tone of his words,
naturally, were difficult for Subaru to behold.

No matter how strong Julius’ consciousness may be as a knight, there

is no way he could bear such mental stress with ease.

With the ruin of the relationships he had compiled, the fear and
despair of losing the days he had lived personally.

That was the sense of loss Subaru had tasted, to the point of it being
painful, when he had arrived into the different world at first.

Subaru: [Beatrice……]

Beatrice: [What Subaru wants to say is understandable, in fact. But,

unfortunately, even Betty does not remember that man, I suppose.
Betty, is already outside of the Forbidden Library, in fact.]

Sympathising with his intentions at a single call, Beatrice, with a

difficult face, horizontally rotated her neck.

Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

At Beatrice’s point, the confirmation Subaru had picked up—— that

was, whether she remembered Julius or not.

As Emilia did not remember, naturally, there is no way Beatrice would

remember. That was how it was supposed to be, but there was a
possibility that Beatrice was an exception.

For some reason, Beatrice was——.

Subaru: [Even though you remembered Rem.]

Beatrice: [It can be said as many times as you’d like, but rather, that
case itself should be thought of as the exception, I suppose. And now,
it should be thought that it has been proven with the man in front, in
fact.]

Subaru: [In the end, that is the inference regarding your memories,
huh.]

It had been some time ago.

Some time ago, Beatrice, in the Forbidden Library, had once referred
to Rem after her name had been eaten by 『Gluttony』. Subaru had
questioned that after she had formed her contract, after the Forbidden
Library had been lost but, this was one conclusion they had reached
after their exchange.

Subaru: [When isolated from the outside into the Forbidden Library,
Beako does not get affected by what is outside of the room. That’s
why the moment Rem’s name was eaten, no effect was taken…… is
what I had thought, isn’t it. That’s why, once exited from the room,
special treatment would not be given…… huh.]

Beatrice: [That tone, seems like there is a problem with Betty leaving
the Forbidden Library, I suppose.]

Subaru: [N-Nothing like tha~t! I, am mammoth happy to be able to

walk under the rays of the sun with you!]

Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

Beatrice: [Eh, in fact.]

And, within that short back and forth, lay the truth.

And, in fact, Beatrice exhibited no peculiarity regarding Julius.

Beatrice’s inference was surely, that the barriers to her memory
served their purpose only in the Forbidden Library.

Rather, in this case, the problem here was not Beatrice’s

distinctiveness——,

Emilia: [But, why does Subaru remember Julius-san? Just like, the
time with that Rem-san.]

Subaru: [That’s it.]

The question, that would dawn upon everyone, was finally spoken by
Emilia.

The sole person in the entire world who remembered Rem, whose
『Name』 had been eaten, Subaru.

Forgotten even across the preservation of the memories of Ram, who

was her twin elder sister, however, Emilia and the others did not make
a reference.

That must also be because, looking at Subaru connect to Rem with

such devotion, they could not randomly speak regarding the
memories, or make any implicitly believing rash remarks.

But, not just that, the ability to refute Subaru’s memories, could only be
done by nothing else but having definite proof, which not a single one
of them possessed.

However, it was different this time.

In this case, the concerned party who also remembered aside from
Subaru—— in brief, Julius, who had been forgotten since his very
beginning by the world, retained consciousness.

Naturally, the reconciliation of that mutual recognition and, the reason

Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

for Subaru being treated as the exception of the Authority of

『Gluttony』 gave rise to doubts.

Emilia: [Does Subaru have any idea? No holding secrets, okay.]

Subaru: [I don’t intend to hide anything at all but…… I think I sort of do,
I won’t say that.]

Emilia: [That, isn’t that a secret?]

Subaru: [If you can’t confirm it don’t declare it, I don’t think that’s secret
keeping.]

Conversing with Emilia, Subaru investigated the possibility of him

being an exception.

The feeling that had uprisen in the very beginning, was the influence of
the Witch Factor sleeping inside of Subaru. If the Authority of
『Gluttony』 of eating 『Memories』 or 『Names』 was the power
of the Witch Factor then, it was conceivable, due to a certain cause, it
may not apply upon Subaru, just like 『Unseen Hand』.

Perhaps, Subaru could 『Return by Death』 through the power of the

『Witch of Envy』. With the power of that 『Witch』 invoked, it may
have had cancelled the effects of the Authority of 『Gluttony』.

And there was the remaining feeling of the exceptionality like that of
Beatrice’s Forbidden Library.

That was, because Subaru belonged to a different world. Subaru was

a human whose origin was from a different world, and not an
existence who belonged to this world.

Not being an existence of this world, he doesn’t fall under the effect of
the Authority which interfered with the concepts of this world—— how
was this hypothesis.

Subaru: [However, if it’s the latter, then the way to confirm it is easy.
Julius just has to meet with Al.]

8 / 15 14.09.2025 00:46
Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

The sole person in this world, who was under the same circumstances
as Subaru, was Al.

Regarding the exception of the Authority, if the latter hypothesis

happened to be correct, Al must also be remembering Rem and
Julius. Above all, the Al of this world and Rem had no
acquaintanceship with each other, henceforth, it could not be
confirmed.

Subaru: [There’s no way he can say that even this time, huh.]

Emilia: [Subaru?]

Subaru: [It’s regarding Emilia-tan’s question but, there’s something I

want to confirm before answering that. Julius, you’ll have to come with
me.]

At Subaru’s voice, who cut short the chase, Emilia made a somewhat
discontent expression.

He was keeping secrets, is what could perhaps be thought as well, but

this was a measure necessary for attestation.

Above all, in the case if the hypothesis’ correctness being proven,

what both Subaru and Al held in common—— the part of both of them
being trippers from a different world would be obscure, the ones
whose hometowns lay beyond the Great Waterfall do not fall under
the effect of theAuthority, that absurd explanation would be the only
option left.

Subaru: [Don’t tell me, you won’t refuse, will you? It is regarding you,
after all.]

Julius: [——I must state that I have no choice. It seems, under the
present circumstance, you are rather knowledgeable regarding the
condition inflicted upon me. I shall follow you.]

Subaru: [Why do you have such a delicately large attitude, you.]

9 / 15 14.09.2025 00:46
Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

Whether the calmness had been restored through the conversation till
now, the attitude of the elegant appearing Julius, with his jaw pulled in,
returned. Regardless of appearances, the uprosen situation was too
tough on his mind and heart. Not charming at all, was another way to
put it.

Subaru: [Suddenly getting absorbed in appearing admirable and

increasing problems for the party in contact, huh…… Anyway, let’s go
back to the shelters. I think now it’s the suitable time for all the people
concerned to assemble too…… that’s it, what about Ricardo? He had
taken part in the suppression together with you. He’s fine, right?]

Julius: [……He did get injured whilst shielding me, but it should not
have an effect on his life. He is currently being properly diagnosed by
Ferris.]

Subaru: [……Is that so. Then, that’s okay, I guess.]

At Julius’ reply, Subaru innermost thoughts were half relief and half
reflection.

To dissect, the relief of Ricardo’s safety, and the reflection of Julius’

insensitivity, who had directly inquired from the ones he had fought
alongside with.

And at Subaru, whose voice diminished, Julius sighed,

Julius: [I do not expect you to show friendly concern. If you conduct

yourself the way you always do, it would be more comfortable for
myself, after being in such perplex because of the environment. Well
then, let’s return to the shelters.]

Saying that, Julius, friendly, patted Subaru’s shoulder.

Julius: [Though it’s not something too pleasant, there is no choice but
to leave my introduction to you. The fruitless effort of the display in the
hall of the royal election, it would help if you would withdraw that at this
occasion.]

10 / 15 14.09.2025 00:46
Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

Subaru: [Don’t go about digging up people’s guiltful history! Shit,

worrying for you was a mistake.]

Pushing away the hand on his shoulder, Subaru turned towards Julius
while stepping towards the shelter. Of course, he would not
misunderstand by thinking that Julius’ reply just now were his true
feelings.

Moderating Subaru’s feelings of guilt, he has simply given his reply in

the need of a smart response.

He knew that. As he knew that,

Subaru: [Am I, an idiot. No, I am an idiot.]

Why must he now, uphold an attitude, of giving salvation to Julius’

heart.

He, who lost all others, above all, must be feeling the helpless anxiety
of solitude, how could he mistake on his words and his judgements.

His own insensitivity was terribly irritating, and Julius was almost just
as irritating as well.

In the situation where anxiety was natural, acting as normal was a

strength of his as well.

That strength was surely, something which Subaru could never attain,
despite his desire.

Until Julius were to be left as is, Subaru would certainly harbour his
own sense of responsibility.

※※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※

Looking at the back of Subaru, who was heading towards the shelter,
after having angered him, Julius’ lips’ edges curved into a slight smile.

It was a powerless smile, one which he could never let Subaru see,
who had his back turned towards him.

11 / 15 14.09.2025 00:46
Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

Emilia: [That face, do you intend to not show it to Subaru?]

In that dim gap in his heart, a silver bell’s chime pounced in between.
Turning back, there lay the line of sight of amethyst eyes towards
Julius.

At that gaze, wearing gloom, Julius concealed his smile and shook his
neck horizontally.

Julius: [Meagre disposition, futile resistance of the defeated, that is

what it is. Please do not point it out.]

Emilia: [Defeated you say……]

Julius: [Perhaps we, were the only ones who missed among those
who headed to capture the control towers. Fully realising our great
insufficiency, I now live in disgrace, and have been left alone in a
prohibited state. Completely defeated.]

With a stubborn attitude, Julius strongly brought attention to their

defeat.

At his attitude, Emilia’s eyes wavered heartbreakingly. Emilia, at this

moment, may have had been able to find the powerlessness of Julius’
heart.

Emilia: [I’m sorry.]

However, Emilia’s utterance was different from what Julius had been
intending for.

At Julius, who raised his face, Emilia embraced her slender shoulders,

Emilia: [The truth is, I don’t know what should I say to you, right now.
I’m sure I must have had known you but still I cannot remember, and I
can’t be reliable like Subaru.]

Julius: [……In Subaru’s case, he should not be referred to much. He

is the one that is the exception, isn’t it.]

Emilia: [Even still, I know you are being hurt. That’s why I cannot do

12 / 15 14.09.2025 00:46
Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

anything but apologize and…… in regards to Subaru, thank you.]

“————”

The fact that she thanked for Subaru, was unsettling.

Emilia sighed, at Julius, who furrowed his eyebrows.

Emilia: [Julius-san’s current face, if Subaru saw it he would certainly

be pained more. That’s why, thank you, for hiding it. I’m really sorry.]

Julius: [Please stop, Emilia-sama. It is not something to be thanked

for, and furthermore…… furthermore you are making too much out of
me. There is no need, for such consideration.]

It was true. Julius, subjected to Emilia’s gaze, filled with innate

kindness, could feel the inappropriate comfort.

With such admirable consciousness, it was not as if he had confirmed

Subaru’s innermost thoughts. It was something much simpler, a much
more uninteresting reason.

Julius: [I don’t want him….. Subaru, to pity me. That is all there is to it.]

“————”

Up front, drawing closer, gazing at Subaru’s stature, Julius declared.

Pulling Beatrice’s sleeve, who was close to him, with a difficult
expression, was Subaru.

At such a figure of Subaru, Julius was unable to discard his own

powerlessness.

Why those thoughts, that reason was——.

Emilia: [Just now, I feel I heard Julius-san’s true thoughts for the first
time.]

Emilia, continuing her steps, commented that about Julius’ words.

Julius thoughtlessly rounded his eyes, and Emilia raised a single
finger,

13 / 15 14.09.2025 00:46
Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

Emilia: [It may not be of too much help but, I will also talk to everyone
to try and convince them. That’s why, along with Subaru, trust us as
well. Let’s go.

Julius: [……Yes. Also, Emilia-sama.]

Emilia: [What?]

Calling a halt to Emilia, as she turned back, Julius elegantly bowed.

Though it may not be in her memories, it remained inside of him as if

carved deeply, that courteous etiquette as both a knight and a noble.

Julius: [Being called Julius-san by Emilia-sama, gives rise to a

helpless sense of unpleasantness. Please refer to me as Julius, that
way of reference.]

Emilia: [I, used to refer to you like that, isn’t it. ……I understand,
Julius.]

With a finger on her lips, Emilia consented. After that, Emilia drowned
in thought, and shortly glanced at Julius, then proceeded to face
towards the empty sky. And,

Emilia: [Can I, ask something too?]

Julius: [What might it be.]

Emilia: [Right next to you, Minor spirits…… no, maybe Quasi Spirits.
Those children, are flying about in seeming uneasiness…… did you
know that?]

Julius: [——Yes, I am aware. Because they are, buds that, being

close to me, will eventually bloom.]

Julius closed his eyes, at what Emilia has pointed out.

Right beside him, when he closed his eyes, he knew there were the
Quasi spirits, wielding the power of six colours, flying about. However,
those buds had no knowledge of why they were there.

Arc 5, Chapter 77: “A Nameless Knight” | Witch Cult Translations about:reader?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwitchculttranslation.com%2F2...

That is why, for them,

Julius: [My current self’s words will not reach them. Just like, the words
for my master or my comrades.]
