Mansion

Beatrice and I left the mansion as we saw Garfiel fighting with Elsa.

Koji: Good job holding up Garf.

Garfiel: Yeah yeah but I could use some help you know.

I materialized my Heaven And Earth Swords.

Koji: Even if you kill her she won't die okay?

Garfiel: What!? But that's...

Koji: Come over here.

Elsa: Ignoring me are you? How rude!

She charged at us but I kicked her in her stomach sending her flying.

Koji: Garf. Cutting off her head or turning her alive should do the trick.

Garfiel: Oh. Got it.

Koji: Are you ready Beatrice?

Beatrice: I am I suppose.

Koji: well she's back so even if you weren't we wouldn't have much of a choice.

I blocked a slashing attack pushing her back.

Elsa: That was a good kick but you should have used your blade.

I turned to Beatrice.

Koji: Remember. Stick to cover fire. I don't want to put you on the front lines.

I patted her on the head.

Beatrice: Betty knows already.

Me and Garf rushed towards Elsa trading blows with her.

Koji- Honestly if she didn't have that regenerative factor I'm sure I could kill her but that factor is what makes it so troublesome.

I thought this while blocking an attack and giving Garf an opened to punch her in the guts sending her back a little.

Elsa: You two are such as lovely duo. I'll enjoy gutting he both of you.

She charged at me with incredible speed.

Beatrice: You're forgetting someone I suppose!

Beatrice unleashed an attack of shadow magic that hit her several times as she backed off, regenerating the holes in her body.

I gave a thumbs up to Beatrice.

Koji: Garf. Ready for the second rush?

Garf: You know it.

The two of us rushed in exchanging blows as Elsa blocked the both of us. One with each of her blades. I took my Earth Blade (The One in his left hand) and stabbed Elsa in the gut pushing on the blade as she looked at me with ecstasy. Both me and Garf jumped back.

Elsa: Yes! Gut me like a fish!

Koji: ...

Garfiel: That's so fucked up.

Beatrice: How disgusting I suppose.

Koji: Ul Dona!

I summoned spikes of earth impaling Elsa through her abdomen and holding her in place.

Elsa: Ah! Yes.

Koji: Beatrice now!

Beatrice: Shamak!

Beatrice cast a Shamak making it so Elsa couldn't see. Elsa began trying to walk forward in an attempt to rip her own body in half knowing she could regenerate.

Garf: But why?

I extended my hand forward and clicked my finger and a hole appeared in her head straight through her brain. 

Elsa: Huh... Aawh...

I then appeared behind her cutting off her head.

Koji: It's finished.

What I had done was form a metal pellet in my hand and click my finger to give in velocity as it went straight through her brain. I then swapped places with the pellet dematerializing it right after. I had memorised her position and then when I teleported using my ability to sense disturbances in Mana I was able to sense Elsa's position which allowed me to swiftly decapitate her.

Koji- If not for Garf and... ugh....

I felt a sharp pain as I could feel Satella's miasma more strongly. Thankfully the Shamak dissipated soon after.

Garf: What the heck? She's dead?

Garf- When he's fighting, it's as if I'm looking at a demon.

Koji: I have no intention of taking any chances with her. Dona.

I formed a box of earth around her corse with earth spike jabbing every crevice inside piercing her body in a way no human would be able to move even a muscle.

Beatrice: Well that is over I suppose. What does Betty need to do now?

Koji: That Shamak. Can you perform on a larger scale?

Beatrice: Of course, Betty can.

Koji: Then we're heading back to the sanctuary.

Garfiel: Right. That damn rabbit and that fucker Roswal.

Koji: But first let's check on the others.

We went to the village and discovered Rem and Frederica standing over the purple-haired girl who was tied up.

Girl: You really killed Elsa? No!

Koji: It's over. Just cooperate.

Rem: With all those Mabeasts she's stronger than I expected.

Frederica: Agreed. But I'm glad you three are alright.

Koji: It was a troublesome fight but we managed.

Garf: Sorry Sis but we gotta head out.

Frederica: It's fine. We can take care of things here.

Koji: Beatrice and I will be heading off on our own.

Garf: What?

Koji: Beatrice is the most important factor in the upcoming battle but if she doesn't arrive on time things will become problematic and Patrache won't be able to move as fast with all three of us. You can go ahead and come to the Sancturay but beatrice getting there is a priority.

Garf sighed.

Garf: Alright I trust ya Captain.

Koji: Captain?

Garf: Just go already. I'll catch up.

Koji smiled sighing.

Koji: Alright.

Koji tugged Patrasche's reins as they set off.

Sanctuary

I arrived at the sanctuary and I went into the trial room to meet with Emilia but she looked traumatized.

Koji: Emilia?

She saw me and turned her face as if she had felt guilty.

Koji: What's wrong?

Emilia: In the trials Echdidna she... she gave me a taste of the pain you've gone through for me. I... I don't want you to get hurt anymore. You don't have to involve yourself with me anymore.

I knelt down.

Koji: I'm not going to leave your side. Even if it's painful I want to be with you. That's a part of being in love as well. There is suffering and disagreement. But if you can look at each other with love and affection after you know it's love.

Emilia: YOu said that loving someone meant putting them above yourself right?

Koji: That's right. That's why I'm...

Emilia: Then Why can't I put you over myself right here...

Emilia blushed realising what she had just said.

Emilia: I...

I smiled touching her cheek.

Emilia: In the trials I... I said that it was fine if everyone saw me as a witch. Are you okay with loving someone like that?

Koji: Every since being in the White Room I have accepted the thought of being seen as a Demon. Even if I'm trying to change I won't deny anyone who claims I'm a demon.

Emilia: Kiyotaka...

Koji: So. If you wish we can be the Demon and The Witch together.

Emilia: O... okay...

She was blushing wildly so I pulled her into a kiss and then slowly separated our lips.

Emilia: Kiyotaka...

Koji: I know I asked you to complete the trials but can I rely on you for one more thing?

Emilia: Of course.

Koji: Let's head outside.

We headed outside to meet with Beatrice.

Emilia: Beatrice?

The White Rabbit then approached.

Emilia: That's...

Koji: Are you ready Beatrice?

Beatrice: Yes.

Beatrice: Al Shamak!

Emilia understanding the plan held out her hand as well.

Emilia: Al Huma!!!

Koji: Al Dona!

Me and Emila simultaneously fired magic attacks. Emilia's rained down from the sky while mine burst up from the ground. When all was said and done there wasn't a single one left behind. We had killed many of them and the other ate each other as expected.

Koji: It's done.

Emilia: Yeah.

Koji- Now that I'm thinking about it her magic output has actually increased since Puck left. Hm...

Emilia: Why was the Great Rabbit here?

Koji: The fault for that lies with Roswal.

Emilia: So you were right...

Koji: Unfortunately yes I was.

Emilia: Let's go confront him.

Koji: No. Not yet. Let's wait for Garf to get back.

Emilia: Hm? Well okay.

I waked over to Beatrice patting her head.

Koji: Thank you.

Beatrice smiled smugly.

Koji- I have to say for a 400-year-old spirit she is adorable.

—————————————————————————————————————

A Few Hours Later

Garf, Frederic and Rem arrived at the sanctuary.

Koji: You made it.

Garf: You really dealt with all of it?

Koji: Yes. Are you ready to confront Roswal?

Garf: Yeah!

Garfiel punched his palm in anticipation cracking his knuckles. Emilia walked over.

Emilia: Um before that. Kiyotaka... can we talk?

Koji: Sure. Garf. Could You give us some time?

Garf: Oh sure.

Garf left.

Emilia: Um...

Her face turned red all of a sudden.

Koji: Are you alright?

Emilia: There's something important we need to discuss.

Koji: Of course.

Emilia: You really love me right?

Koji: I do.

Emilia: I... I love you too which is why I wanted to talk to you about... about the baby I'm carrying in my belly!

Koji: ... what?

I was so confused that my brain hurt.

Emilia: We have no idea if it's a boy or girl but...

Koji: Hold on a second. Emilia... we never did anything that would create a baby you know.

Emilia: But when a man and woman who love each other kiss it creates a baby right?

Koji: I'm afraid that it takes a lot more than just kissing for such a thing to happen.

Emilia: But that's what Puck told me.

Koji: You should ask Frederica or Ram about it.

Emilia: Why can't you tell me?

Koji: It's... it's not appropriate for a man to explain that to a girl aside from their daughter or younger sibling.

—————————————————————————————————————

Building

Roswal was sent flying by a punch from Garf.

Garf: You want to go next Captain?

Koji: No. I'd probably kill him if I did.

Everyone sweatdropped.

Roswal turned to Ram who slapped him in the face.

Ram: I do love you but you put my sister in mortal danger. I can't forgive you for that so easily Roswal-Sama. 

Rem sighed from this exchange.

Koji: I hope you're going to cooperate from here on out.

Roswal: Yes yes of course. I really did underestimate you. Demon of The Fourth Generation.

Koji: So that book of yours told you that much about me.

Roswal: Yes it did. Echidna must have included it in there to help me.

The others except Emilia looked puzzled as Beatrice looked to me while she sat on her lap. I patted her head.

Koji: I'll tell you about it at the right time.

She nodded.

Garfiel: is this guy really one of us?

Koji: Honestly I wanted I could have forced him out of the barrier and killed him like a dog but his assistance is necessary from Emilia to become the ruler so I decided to make the best of the situation.

Garf groaned in annoyance.

Garf: I just can't trust him.

Roswal stood up showing the seal on his back and explaining it.

Koji: Does that satisfy you Garf?

Garf: Swear on it.

Roswal: I swear to never attempt to sacrifice anyone in this camp ever again.

Garf tchhed.

Garf: Good enough for now.

Emilia: Roswal. You still haven't done something important. You haven't apologised.

Roswal bowed his head.

Roswal: I sincerely apologise for my actions towards you all.

Emilia: That's enough.

Roswal: By the way Kiyotaka-Kun. You know that the waiting period for attending the Knights Academy. You know that your conduct is being assessed right?

Koj: I know.

Roswal: I'm the one that was tasked with assessing you.

Koji: I see. How troublesome.

Roswal: No need to act so colddd. In light of recent events, I can even recommend that your training be fast-tracked per se.

Koji: Very well.

—————————————————————————————————————

3 Months Later

Kiyotaka stood in a building with the other knights including Reinhard, Julius, Felix, Barnes and Wilhelm. Felix seemed to be doing better but it was clear that he still was not "Well" while Reihard's relationship with Wilhelm seemed better than ever.

Koji- It's really time huh?

Beatrice walked beside me as I greeted them.

Reinhard: Kiyotaka. Congratulations on today.

Wilhelm: Might I ask who this small child is?

Beatrice: Betty is not a child I suppose!

Koji: I suppose you can think of her as something similar to being my daughter.

Beatrice blushed embarrassed at this.

Reinhard: But Lady Beatrice is 400 years old you know.

Reinhard said this sweatdropping.

Koji- Funny because I'm mentally speaking 432 years old so having Beatrice as a daughter isn't actually unfeasible.

The ceremony came to a head as I kneeled before Emilia who formally knighted me. We stepped outside.

Emilia: You're officially a light now. I'm... I'm happy for you.

Koji: Thank you, Emilia.

I hugged her to my chest.

Koji: I'm going to make you the ruler. I'll make sure that dream comes true.

Emila: Thank you Kiyotaka. For everything.

She hugged me tightly.

Hiatus- I'm putting this Fic On Hiatus until Season 3 Part 2 Comes out. I have read the LN but that was like a year ago so I'd rather wait for the Anime to adapt the material than read the LN again.
