[ "Even so… I… can also end my war!" Subsequently, Vera spoke of her own experiences.
Her parents were originally from the Empire; they had crossed the vast ocean to settle in the United States, and thus Vera was born there.
She thought she could live a happy life in the United States, but one day, the Empire launched a full-scale invasion.
In just a single night, her originally happy days were instantly shattered. The Imperial accent they were once proud of now subjected them to universal condemnation.
"So you want to use a weapon to destroy the Empire?" Hearing this reason, Tanya's tone became somewhat strange: "Your topic sure is jumping around."
"How is it jumping?" Vera roared in anger: "It's because of your invasion, all of your actions, that we lost our place to belong!"
Tanya, who had long witnessed the various cruelties of war, remained calm in the face of this: "Simply like a child throwing a tantrum." ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"However, since you lost your place in the United States, why not just move back to the Empire?"
"Good lord, an eight-year-old little girl is actually calling someone else a child."
Everyone was speechless and reacted upon hearing this. After all, judging by appearance, Tanya was the genuine child here…
.....
〜Saga of Tanya the Evil World〜
"She's right, it's just like a child throwing a tantrum!"
Tanya was almost amused by Vera's speech. How could she be blamed for this too?
Blaming the Empire for launching the invasion?But wasn't it the Legadonia Entente Alliance army that illegally crossed the border first and started an undeclared war against the Empire?
Although the Empire was the counter-attacking side in the invasion, she didn't deny that the Empire always had the intention to wage war… because, in this war, there were no righteous parties at all!
The Francois Republic incited civilians to attack the Imperial Army, the Allied Kingdom instigated uprisings, and the Entente Alliance conscripted half-grown children and pushed them to the front lines…
Even the United States, sitting across the ocean watching the Old Continent slaughter each other, had no qualms about letting its own civilians participate in the multinational volunteer army led by the Allied Kingdom.
Every faction, every person knew exactly what they were fighting for, and their mutual interests could not be compromised. No one attempted empty talk of peace; instead, they strove for victory with all their might.
And this is war! …Peace comes only after successfully trampling over all enemies!

[ Vera had no desire to continue the conversation at this point. Hoisting Gruer onto her shoulder, she shouted towards the sky above the church: "Come, Death Knight!"
"MEOW——!" Accompanied by Bean-suke's roar, the Death Knight sent by Ainz to protect Vera descended from the sky instantly, along with Bean-suke.
"Death Knight? Bean-suke?" Seeing the figures landing on the ground, Tanya and the others were stunned. Aren't those their school's pets?
However, even more surprised than them was Megumin, because she saw something on the Death Knight's arm that had been stolen by Kazuma… her panties.
Taking advantage of their moment of daze, Vera rode the Death Knight and sped away. ]
[ ..... ]
〜KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World〜
"Why are my panties on the Death Knight-kun's arm?!"
Megumin's face flushed red as she grabbed Kazuma's collar, shaking him back and forth while demanding an answer.
How should I know why they're on Death Knight-kun's arm? It's not like I did it… Although that was what Kazuma thought in his heart.
But for the sake of his little life, feeling somewhat guilty, Kazuma twitched the corner of his mouth:
"Um… calm down, Megumin… maybe they got snagged on there by accident."
He now had every reason to suspect this was Ainz-classmate's revenge. Otherwise, how could that thing possibly be hanging there?!
As for these panties he accidentally stole, he generally kept them well-collected in his pocket, intending to 'respectfully' return them to their owner later.
〜OVERLORD World〜
"The villain is actually me…?"
Ainz looked somewhat dazedly at Vera, who was being protected by the Death Knight, suddenly feeling like he had joined the wrong faction.
"So, from the very beginning, I teamed up with Kazuma and joined a villain's faction?"
This isn't right. No matter what, we had such a tacit understanding, just like with Kazuma. How did it turn into running over to the enemy faction to form an alliance?
Then what was the point of those chuunibyou poses I struck while holding back my shame!

[ Just as everyone began preparing the rescue plan, Subaru Natsuki saw Alec leaving alone: "Is this really okay?"
"You knew Pantagruel was lying, yet you didn't expose it. Why?"
"I understand that you don't want to return to your original world, that you want to start over in a new world, to get serious starting tomorrow, and so on. I know there are people like that." As he spoke, Betty also walked over. Looking at the hand Subaru Natsuki held out, Betty took it without the slightest hesitation.
Emilia looked at Subaru Natsuki with some hesitation in her eyes: "It feels so detailed."
Alec slowly turned his head to look at these young people before him: "I lived very happily in that world, and I had very important companions. I was not alone."
"But Pantagruel has always been alone, for the 300-plus years until she met me…"
"When I first arrived, she was truly happy. Despairing after being thrown into this empty world, I was saved by her cheerfulness." ]
[ ..... ]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
Could it be anything but detailed…? This was experience accumulated by Subaru Natsuki only after experiencing it personally.
Everyone who had already figured out Subaru Natsuki's ability naturally understood that what Subaru Natsuki was saying was actually his own experience.
Every Return by Death, was it not a form of starting over in a new world!

〜Gabriel DropOut World〜
"Living alone in an uninhabited world for over three hundred years? A world with no snacks, no games, not even people?"
Gabriel swallowed a mouthful of saliva in terror. Just thinking about the lonely life of living alone in another world for 300 years made her legs tremble uncontrollably.
"Without a doubt, that is hell…"
No people are one thing, but at least give a game console; otherwise, how could one survive those endless days!
"No, even our hell isn't that despairing."
Vigne's face also went pale. Just thinking about it brought a strong sense of suffocation. It was too lonely!
To be honest, the folkways in their hell were actually quite simple and honest to begin with. Throwing a person into that kind of world and ignoring them—such a tragic and inhumane thing—was something even they, as 'demons,' couldn't do.
〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
"Over 300 years of loneliness… Betty understands this, but!"
As she spoke, Betty looked silently at the screen where her hand was held by Subaru Natsuki the entire time.
Clearly, after disappointment time and time again, Betty had already given up waiting, given up on the contract, and had become accustomed to quietly waiting for disappointment.
"But now… what is this situation? Just how much story is missing in between!"
However, this also reignited a spark of hope in Betty's originally dead heart—the hope that Subaru Natsuki might be the person she had been waiting for!

[ Meanwhile, Ainz and Kazuma were walking in the basement of the temple. They discovered a diary in a dilapidated room.
⟦ Life in the other world, day one… Ah~ what a headache~. ⟧
⟦ Suddenly, a black ball-like thing appeared before my eyes. It seems I've come to a world different from the one just now. ⟧
Seeing this, Kazuma held his head with a headache, the image of a balding old man surfacing in his mind: "Wait, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't read to the end, IT WAS YOU——!!"
Although the diary was as unreliable as ever, it still recorded some useful information. If the seal is broken, a terrifying Golem capable of destroying this world will appear!
A Golem capable of destroying the world. Kazuma couldn't help but look at Ainz, who had the strongest power: "Ainz, can we win?"
"I don't know… to be honest, my compatibility with Golems is extremely poor." Ainz didn't have much confidence either.
At the same time, Kazuma discovered another ring behind the diary that controlled the Golem. Without a word, he put it on his own hand. ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』
"This old geezer's 'gold content' keeps rising. I knew it was you!"
Although they had guessed it earlier, when they actually heard that old man's unreliable voice, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.
You really are the source of disaster; you cause way too much trouble!
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Da Vinci looked at the screen with black lines covering her face:
"I have every reason to suspect that these Golems were also invented by that balding tech-otaku old man."
Dr. Roman and the others also retorted in tacit agreement:
"We think so too." x3
After all, it was an ability given by Aqua, so none of them were simple. The ability was truly too buggy! It made them somewhat envious.
Being able to make whatever one imagines become real—no wonder he could create so many messy, ghostly things!
But clearly having such a BUG ability, yet somehow trapping himself on a mobile fortress until he died of old age, can you believe that? This makes absolutely no sense!
