Echidna heard a tap on the table. Looking up, she saw Y/N sat back down.

Y/N: Let's try not to hide anything from me, okay?

The witch straightened up.

Echidna: Sorry. Let's start this again.

Gowther sat down meditating near the entrance, while waiting for Y/N to return.

He did find Y/N's soul. Along with six other souls. Gowther guessed it was other witches of sin. He did wonder why it was six and not seven, but those were questions that would be answered when Y/N get's back.

Gowther heard the sound of crunching leaves.

Subaru: Y/N?

Gowther opened his eyes.

Gowther: 'That's not good.'

Subaru: Hey, Y/N! What is this place?

Gowther stood up and walked towards Subaru.

Gowther: This will become important later. Right now, we should wait for the others to show up.

Subaru: Oh, alright.

Gowther:....

Subaru:....

Well this is awkward.

Let's see how Y/N and Echidna are doing.

Echidna: What is it that you would like to know?

Y/N: Have we actually met?

Echidna: Not directly. I have peeked into your mind twice now. Once you did catch me, but that didn't happen this time.

Y/N: So you know I'm not from this world?

Echidna: That is correct. When entering my castle of dreams, I acquire the knowledge of the person. Which includes you.

Y/N: So that means you know what Re:Zero is?

Echidna looked confused by what he said.

Echidna: No, I can't say I saw anything like that. What is that?

Y/N stared at Echidna for a few seconds in silence.

Echidna: Y/N?

Y/N: You could see it as a variant of your Book of Wisdom. 'That's strange.'

Well isn't that strange. Echidna doesn't know about his world...

How the fuck dose she not know about his world?

Echidna: How did you go about acquiring that?

Y/N: The labour of someone else. Can I ask you a question?

She nodded at his question.

Echidna: Of course.

Y/N pointed to the cup of tea in front of him.

Y/N: Is the tea made of your saliva?

Echidna: Yes. Is that why you're not drinking it?

Y/N: No~, no, no, no........... Yes.

Echidna: Is it bad enough not to regain your lost memories-?

Y/N: Yes.

I mean some of you would still do it. But I want to keep this interesting.
