Ep. 19

Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

Subaru returns to Crusch with a genuine proposal rather than a demand. He offers valuable mining rights in Roswaal’s territory and, using knowledge from previous loops, the exact time and place the White Whale will appear. His mobile phone becomes a supposed timing device, while his Witch scent can serve as bait. Crusch recognizes both the opportunity and Subaru’s sincerity and agrees to an alliance. Anastasia also commits her mercenary force, the Iron Fang, because eliminating the whale benefits commerce and the royal campaign. Wilhelm reveals that his wife, the former Sword Saint Theresia, was killed by the creature and that he has spent years awaiting revenge. Subaru and Rem join the combined army at the Flugel Tree, where he meets Ricardo, Mimi, and Hetaro and prepares Patrasche for battle. The soldiers trust a prediction only Subaru can explain, making the plan dependent on his credibility and willingness to stand before the monster. At the appointed moment, the White Whale emerges from the night exactly as promised. Crusch orders the attack, and the long-planned hunt begins with Subaru at its center.
