Subaru twitched. "Excuse ? Ta?" He pointed dramatically at the mansion, now resembling so chaotic fusion of darkness and light. "How the hell is this ta?!"
Roswaal shrugged. "We expected a bit more destruction. Maybe a mana storm or a dinsional rift. But this? Just a little decor change."
Subaru stared at him in disbelief. "Are you hearing yourself right now? A dinsional rift was your expectation?!"
[Echidna then spoke in his mind. "Honestly, he's not wrong. You do have a tendency to cause catastrophes."]
[Pandora chuckled. "And yet, fate keeps letting you live. How amusing."]
Puck smirked. "Well, since we survived, I say we make the most of it." He floated up and dramatically gestured toward the mansion. "Behold! The Shadow-Light Manor! A new aesthetic choice, courtesy of our dear Subaru and his overpowered spirit!"
ili clapped. "Yay! Big Brother, you made the mansion special!"
Elsa humd in amusent. "I have to admit, it does have a certain charm to it. Half a haunted house, half a divine temple. Quite the contrast."
Ram pinched the bridge of her nose. "This is going to be another headache to deal with."
Subaru groaned. "Okay, fine! Whatever! But how do we fix this?!"
Koyami, still glowing slightly, yawned. ["Mmm... it'll fade in a few hours... probably."]
Subaru clenched his fists. "Why do I even bother asking at this point?"
The next day happened and Subaru finally sohow mory Snow Festival happen, and now Manchine was the highlight of the party, that hand Snow man building contest.
Subaru sighed as he watched the chaos unfold in front of him. "How did we even get here?"
The once-serene mory Snow Festival had turned into a grand spectacle, with the Roswaal Mansion as the centerpiece. Thanks to Koyami's magical outburst, the entire estate had taken on an otherworldly glow, half shrouded in mysterious darkness, half shining like the sun itself. Instead of a simple festival, it had beco a tourist attraction overnight.
Children ran around, building snown that alternated between adorable and mildly terrifying—so shaped like Puck, others resembling strange shadowy beasts from Subaru's nightmares.
"Big Brother, look!" ili called out, pointing at one snowman that was devouring another. "It's a Mabeast snow sculpture!"
Subaru deadpanned. "ili... that looks more like a horror movie scene than a snowman."
Elsa smirked. "I think it's quite creative."
Ram stood to the side, rubbing her temples. "How did this turn into an event again?"
Roswaal, clearly enjoying the spectacle, laughed. "Oh-ho~ The villagers were fascinated by the sight of the mansion's transformation. So, I may have invited them for a festival!"
Subaru facepald. "Of course you did."
anwhile, Emilia was on a personal quest to redeem herself.
"I'll build the best snowman!" she declared, summoning her magic as she carefully shaped the snow. Puck floated beside her, nodding approvingly.
However, things quickly escalated when Koyami, still sleepy, sneezed—causing a massive surge of dark and light mana to spread across the area.
Subaru turned around just in ti to see Emilia's snowman suddenly morph into a gigantic, monstrous version of itself—half angelic, half eldritch horror.
Everyone stopped.
Subaru stared. "...Well, that's nightmare fuel."
Puck, unfazed, tilted his head. "Hm. Needs more detail."
The villagers? They started clapping.
"Wow! Lady Emilia is truly amazing!"
"Such an artistic snow sculpture!"
"Behold, the balance of darkness and light!"
Emilia, realizing what had happened, sweatdropped but decided to roll with it. "U-Uh... T-Thank you?"
Subaru groaned, falling to his knees. This entire event is a disaster...
[Echidna, in his mind, giggled. "Oh, but it's so entertaining."]
[Satella whispered. "You're having fun too, aren't you?"]
Subaru twitched. "Shut up, you guys."
And so, the mory Snow Festival continued, now featuring subconscious eldritch horror sculptures, magical blizzards, and confused but enthusiastic villagers.
The one who one this computational was Petra with her small rabbit snow man, which was improve by Subaru when wanted too make look coold her, it now looked like rabbit tank, as later that night, everyone was drunk, as Rem was laying on his lap, Emilia on his right shoulder and Elsa on his right.
Subaru then spoke ntally. "How did I get here".
[Sekht then spoke. "Wanna recap what happened the last 5 hourse ago in short"]

— Present Ti —
[Sekht snickered. "And now here you are, with a half-drunk Emilia, Rem snuggled on your lap, and Elsa just... vibing."]
Subaru blinked, looking at his current situation.
Emilia: Mumbling in her sleep about how warm he is.
Rem: Peacefully resting on his lap, occasionally smiling.
Elsa: Smirking as she casually leans on his shoulder.
Subaru sighed. "...Yeah, okay. This tracks."
[Echidna chid in. "I find this quite entertaining. Perhaps we should make this a regular occurrence."]
[Minerva groaned. "NO. His liver will NOT survive."]
Subaru, exhausted, looked up at the ceiling. "I need a vacation from this vacation..."
Later that night as everyone went too sleep, Subaru went too sleep and enters the Hanging gardens as he looked all the Witch.
Typhon saw his face as she spoke. "Is everything ok Big brother".
Subaru sat down as he spoke. "I like these people a lot".
Satella then raised an eyebrow as he spoke. "Oh what is the problen them".
Subaru then spoke as he looked at them. "1 week ago The witch cult attack, we pulled out everything and managed to defeated Leo, but as we saw by Return by death, he becos Archbishop of Pride and killed , and then it took making sure ehe didn't open the box with pride factor, and even then we almost died".
Minerva then spoke looking at him. "So what are you trying too say".
Subaru looked at them as he spoke. "This ans that if I face real Archbishop I not sure if they are gonna be big trouble".
Sekht then spoke as she yawn. "So what is the plan".
Subaru then spoke looking at them as he spoke. "I kinda took this idea for a story I read, I think it was Lord Of The Mystery, in the MC created an Organization, and I want too creat one, with one Goal exterminated the witch cult".
The other witch went silent, as then Echinda and Pandora hughed either his left arm or right arm, as they spoke.
Echinda was the first too speak. "What an interesting, give 1 hour and I will have all the plans ready darling"
Pandora then spoke. "Oh that is such a greath idea, I also have plans for it, I can back plans for our back of plans, darling~".
Subaru blinked as he looked at Echidna and Pandora clinging to his arms.
"I feel like I just made a deal with the devil... twice."
Minerva scoffed. "You literally did."
Typhon tilted her head. "Big Brother, does this an we get to go out more?"
Subaru hesitated. "Uh... maybe?"
Sekht yawned. "Too much work... But if you really want to do this, you'll need an actual structure for your little organization, not just a cool na and a revenge fantasy."
Echidna smirked. "Which is why I will handle that part."
Pandora giggled. "And I will ensure its influence spreads efficiently~"
Subaru sighed, rubbing his temples. "...Alright. Before I get completely swept up in your sches, let's set so ground rules. First, this group isn't going to be so evil secret society. We're only focusing on eliminating the Witch Cult. No unnecessary chaos, no world domination."
Echidna pouted. "Tch. Boring."
Pandora smiled sweetly. "Oh, of course, darling~ No unnecessary chaos." (The way she said it made him very, very nervous.)
Subaru continued. "Second, I want this group to have strong allies. We're not just relying on . We need fighters, strategists, people with influence."
Minerva cracked her knuckles. "That part's easy. We just have to make sure your allies are strong enough to not die."
Satella finally spoke, her voice quiet but firm. "And the third rule?"
Subaru took a deep breath. "The third rule... is that we don't let this group turn into sothing like the Witch Cult. We're not hunting them because we hate them—we're stopping them because they're a threat to innocent people. No needless slaughter."
Sekht chuckled. "Hah. You really are soft. But... fine, that does make it more interesting."
Echidna clapped her hands. "Then it's settled! Operation Anti-Cult begins now!"
Subaru groaned. "We're not calling it that—"
Pandora cut in, her smile widening. "I was thinking sothing more elegant... like The Garden of Shadows."
Subaru paused. "...That's actually kind of cool."
Typhon cheered. "Yay! We're making a secret club!"
Minerva sighed. "Great. Now we just have to make sure Subaru doesn't get killed setting this up."
Subaru leaned back, exhaling. "Yeah, yeah... One step at a ti."
Satella then spoke looking at them as she spoke. "You are basically making a criminal Organization".
Pandora then spoke as she laughed. "Oh I have different na for it, The Witches Hand".
Minerva then spoke. "How will you get the money for it".
Subaru then smirked as he spoke. "Take popular ani, manga and story form my world and publish them under a pen na, plus you all can go top my mory, when I wake up I can write them".
Echidna's eyes sparkled with excitent. "Oh, Subaru, you truly are fascinating! Using knowledge from another world to fund a secret organization... I love it!"
Pandora clapped her hands. "The Witch Hand and a publishing empire? Oh, darling, you're full of surprises!"
Minerva rolled her eyes. "Tch. Just don't forget the actual goal here. Killing the Witch Cult, rember?"
Subaru smirked. "Of course. But even an anti-cult group needs funding, and what better way than selling entertainnt? I an, imagine the reaction when people read Attack on Titan or One Piece for the first ti!"
Sekht yawned. "Too much work... But I suppose if it keeps you alive longer, go ahead."
Typhon raised her hand. "Can I pick a story?!"
Subaru chuckled. "Sure, why not? But first, let's decide how we're actually running The Witch Hand."
Echidna grinned. "Leave the logistics to , darling. I'll make sure we have a network in place before you even finish your first manuscript!"
Subaru sighed. "I feel like I'm creating a monster..."
Satella smiled softly. "If it's for a good cause... then I'll support you, Subaru."
Subaru nodded, determination in his eyes. "Alright, then. Ti to beco the greatest author of all ti... and take down the Witch Cult in the process!"
