Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

― ― The "Dragon of God" Volcanica was experiencing the "death" of its spirit due to years of abandonment.

To put it in perspective, I was left alone for a long time and I lost my temper.

"But don't be such an old man! Hey, Volcanica!

Thou, thou hast come to the top of the tower. An Almighty Petitioner. "

"Not anymore! Not at all!

Emilia calls desperately by hitting her forefoot, but returns with a hard scale and a mental barrier of forgetfulness that seems even stronger.

Like Raid, the "test" of resuscitating the dead in their original state was also quite difficult, but now I think you are more cute.

No way, it was a joke that Raid the brute seemed cute.

"Raid talked and told me what to do....."

Volcanica is not.

For Emilia, who had to pass even more of the "exam", it was the worst part that the contestant was bogged down.

We have to bring the good news back to Subaru as soon as possible.

"Ugh... what should I do, what should I do... I don't suppose we should beat Volcanica like Raid...."

Even if that were the case, it was expected to be a difficult "test", but the difference between the three and two layers of the test content caused Emilia to wait for that idea.

The three-tier "Tigerta" test needed to solve the problem with your head.

Fortunately, Subaru's knowledge of the other side of the Great Falls made it possible, but without it, it would have been very difficult.

And, as you know, Raid Astra was an obstacle in the two-tier "Electra" test.

After all, Emilia managed to beat Raid's head so hard that she could win, but it was her first challenge so she had the chance to succeed.

In any case, there is no doubt that three or two layers were a critical victory.

So, even though it's hard enough just to challenge normally,

"I can't believe you won't even ask me that question....."

― I, Volcanica. According to the ancient covenant, whatever the will of those who reach the summit. "

"Already! Alright! I want you to tell me where you're going!

I hope you will tell me what to do if you try it several times, but I don't have time to try it.

Emilia gazed around as she felt like stepping on the dough.

The three-story "test" was in a white room, and there was a black tablet that Subaru and Julius called monolith fun.

Perhaps tomorrow's stuff is hidden even further.

It is better to find the problem on your own than to rely on Volcanica.

"I have to do everything I can right now...!

Despite constant attention to Volcanica's trends, Emilia ran for further investigation.

First of all, the top layer of the Preades Monitoring Tower is too high to be seen from below. The space is surrounded by six pillars and a huge pillar in the center - Volcanica squats against the central pillar, and the space is about a hundred meters in radius.

Compared to the two layers, it feels like a fairly large space, but there were parts where the presence of the giant Volcanica caused the sensation of the actual breadth to go mad.

"Are you... invisible down there?

Grasped by one of the pillars surrounding the greater perimeter, Emilia checks her eyes.

In the tower, on the ground, where Subaru and Ram must be fighting, thick clouds are blocking our view and we can't see underneath.

Or if you jump into the clouds, you might be able to join your friends.

"I feel angry climbing from the outside like that... yeah, in the first place, I've been running so hard that I can't get over the clouds so fast"

The motor nerves aren't bad, but Emilia knows how high the clouds and sky are.

When I was little, I couldn't grasp the clouds even when I reached out, and when I tried it when I wasn't small, it was the same. If it's about Rheinhardt, maybe we can jump to the clouds, but not Emilia.

That's why Emilia must have come to the top of the tower because of the mysterious power.

"Then it's strange that the Exam isn't here!

Inspired by his thoughts, Emilia looks around the six pillars, strikes them and tries to climb them. However, I can hardly find any phenomena or letters that seem like it.

And if there's a possibility...

"--Big pillar in the middle with Volcanica sticking together"

If there is nothing around the pillar, the most likely is the large pillar in the middle.

Unlike the other six, the pillar stretches even further up. --Or is there a place that should be called the zero layer above it?

There seems to be some way to change this place without any change.

However,

Thou, thou hast come to the top of the tower. An Almighty Petitioner. "

In order to examine that pillar, we cannot avoid repeating the same word, Volcanica.

――――

I've decided to try more of the "exam", but it's different from trying Volcanica.

While maintaining that tension, Emilia approached the central pillar and Volcanica.

"Volcanica, what should I do with the Exam?

― I, Volcanica. According to the ancient covenant, whatever the will of those who reach the summit. "

The answer from Volcanica remains the same.

Emilia felt more relieved than disappointed or disappointed. If Volcanica's reaction remains unchanged, she should be as indifferent to us as she was when she touched her forefoot.

Believe me, Emilia went round the other side of Volcanica, looking at its thick pillars.

"--Eh"

The moment she tried to touch the pillar, Emilia heard the sound of the wind.

Emilia's instinct creates ice walls over her head sooner than she sees what it is. At that moment, the impact struck Emilia over the ice wall, and her thin body was massively hit.

Kafu

Emilia coughs with a shock from her back to her chest as she rolls violently down the floor. I stopped the momentum with my hands on the floor and managed to brake the blowing body.

Emilia slowly raised her face and realized what had happened.

--The tail of the "Dragon of God" leaning against the pillar is slowly lowered to the floor.

"... was your tail slapped?

To put it simply, it was a simple blow.

Dragons use tails to express their emotions, often in the context of Subaru and Patrash. Because when Subaru plays tricks, Ram or Patrash beat each other.

However, the Volcanica tail blow was not the ratio of such a person to a love expression.

This was enough because the defenses worked, but if Emilia's reaction was delayed, her neck would have been broken or her head would have blown off.

It is also the behavior of a worm in a vague state of consciousness for Volcanica.

It was treated as if it were a bug that was being manipulated under the feet of a giant creature.

――――

I understood the fact and traced Emilia's nose and spine with a cold sweat.

But it simultaneously brings one possibility to Emilia.

"I knew there was something in that pillar."

――――

"You're here for the exam. I forgot about the exam, and I still haven't forgotten it. That's why I'm explaining the same thing over and over again."

Volcanica seems to have forgotten what to do.

Still, the fact that the "Dragon of God" is sitting here is proof that the spirit's will to keep the promises made before the "death" was so strong.

"Sage", "Kensei", and "Dragon of God" test their wisdom, power, and will respectively.

In that case...

"--Don 't feel halfway there. I'm serious, too."

Emilia also declares her ability, assuming there is interference from the opponent.

Soon the atmosphere around Emilia began to scream and the world slowly began to freeze. As if to follow Emilia as queen, ice warriors emerge one after the other - Emilia's new possibilities, further developed from Icebrand Arts.

I couldn't try it in the narrow tower, but with this size, there's no mercy.

I didn't tell Subaru, so he didn't give me a name.

That's why Emilia named it.

"Ice Soldiers and Ice Brand Arts....!

The seven ice warriors who will be created, the figurines of the human form, will be brave enough to hold up their weapons and challenge Emilia to the death.

"Let's go, sleepyhead! If you're gonna get up, you're gonna get up early!

Emilia, armed with ice, approached Volcanica with an ice warrior.

Volcanica opens her mouth as she stares at it with her emotionally unreadable eyes.

Thou, thou hast come to the top of the tower. An Almighty Petitioner. "

The consciousness remains buried beyond the unchanged open ocean.

△▼△▼△▼△

--At the same time, Emilia wasn't the only one to challenge powerful enemies beyond her power.

The collision of swordsmen on the lower and second layers of "Elektra" is also increasing in intensity than Emilia, who is fighting the dementia "Dragon of God".

However, the fact that it is one-sided remains unshaken.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Hey, one chopstick and only one hand? If you still can't reach it, Ome, this is not a game, Ome, Ome, Ome!

"Gh...!

A man with long red hair throws an intense kick as he shouts a loud curse.

With the pattern of the knight's sword in his hand, the elegantly side-faced knight himself flew back large. I can't kill a shock. Just sprinkle it. And before it scatters out, the next one comes.

Over and over again, the repetition took place on a two-tier battlefield.

And how many times this happened, when the knight was blown away by the swordsman's blow, he backed down a lot, and the swordsman threw up "I don't want to".

"If you change your mood, your sword will change. Don't you expect Ome to explode? But when will the whole thing change, Ome? Or...."

The red-haired swordsman, Raid, twists his neck and bends his lips.

With an overwhelming mockery of the opponent, the rare swordsman looks at the knight of the opponent.

"You lost because of your manners, Ome. Are you satisfied, Ome?"

"--It's something you can say as much as you like."

The Reid's words told the knight all he could to relax his lips.

The knight solemnly stood in a straight line of sight of a sharp raid, confirming the feeling of the knight's sword as it was kicked and numb.

Julius Euclius decided to turn back the unknown knight and defy his destiny.

"You throw those words at me many times. I don't have enough interesting fights, decent swordsmanship, or playfulness... and I remember the words."

"Ha, I guess. Even if it's not as bad as me, it'll feel like a pussy in everyone's eyes. With Ome's sword, it's just desperate."

"... desperate?"

Raid's gossip would not have come out of noble thoughts.

Perhaps he just says what he thinks. It captures its essence because it deliberately covers one eye, and yet everything can be seen through those blue eyes.

Perhaps he sees Julius's thin ideals, covered in gold.

――――

Looking behind you, there was a woman watching the battle between Julius and Reid.

For Julius, the appearance of a woman who is now the most respectable in the world, but who distinguishes herself from others.

Speaking of force majeure, about two months after what happened in that watergate city - above all, they continued their empty subordination.

"I suppose you and I should have discussed it more openly."

"Julius...?

"If it had been possible, you would have made a good friend. [M] Because we could cherish and admire each other and the same woman."

With his heart's length in his mouth, Julius once again challenged "Kensei".

Raid held a short, thin chopstick in his right hand and intercepted Julius from the front.

Cut it out, stab it, shake it, shake it down, and knock it in.

Sometimes Julius weaves the pattern of the sword and the falsehood of the feet, and easily prevents Raid from doing so with an attitude that doesn't even mean it.

"This is it. I won't let you tell me again and again that this won't work...."

"Even if they say boring, this is my sword!

"Ugh!

Rade kicks at Julius's sword strike, knocking off the lackluster's score with a roar.

As soon as the kick broke his posture and Raid's chopsticks went diagonally to Julius, who showed a gap, Julius turned over the feathered cape and quickly hid behind.

Heh.

And Raid laughed at the movement, and tried not to amputate Julius across the cloak.

However, when the cloak was blown away by the power of chopsticks, Julius already flew horizontally straight behind him, escaping the chopstick killing range.

"Oh, that's him!

"No, no!

"Ahhn?

Raide glances at the white outfit and praises the battle to get rid of the right path. But Julius immediately cut off the praise and rushed to the blown cloak.

Then, pick up the cape torn by chopsticks and wrap it around your body again.

Fasten fasteners securely, weave a white cape over a white uniform, and embody a knight.

I won't stop being nameless, but I won't stop being a knight.

Seeing Julius's attitude, Reid was still moody.

"Ome, I was expecting Ome to change when the horny mama and the back mama showed up earlier? I don't mind pretending to win. I can see that kind of omelet. Ome, you don't know yourself, do you?

――――

"I pretend to be a knight, but that's not what omelets contain. The contents of Omae are the same as mine," stick swing ". I can't see you in a tight spot, Ome."

Julius had chopsticks pointing at him, and Reid threw up with a disgusting face.

When Julius heard the Reid's remarks, he meditated. And after a while of silence, he murmured, "Really?"

"I think I finally understand."

"Oh, what do you know?

"I wonder why you're so stubborn to me."

Raid who is frustrated but doesn't stop talking to Julius.

The method is brutal, and the person would have no intention of doing so, but it is like the leader who teaches and leads Julius.

That's when Raid finally scored on why he was dragging Julius around.

"--Were you seeing the same thing as yourself to me?"

I laughed at Julius many times for his boring way of fighting and his well-mannered swordsmanship because I thought that the lion sleeping inside the shell covered by Julius was hidden.

Julius himself might overestimate that he was a lion, but...

"I don't know how small it is, it's blue. I'm just gonna do what I do. I can't tell you how I feel. Ome, it's more interesting to peel it off."

――――

"That's why I'm going to strip you. You know that, don't you? You can't reach me right now, and the mama in the back can't even look good."

Julius smiles bitterly, showing her exodus on a chin-snapping raid.

Really, Raid's eyes are big and he sees them well.

--Julius Euclius is a man who just wants to look good.

"That's why I don't bend being me."

"Nh?

"I'm sure you're right. There are many verses that come to mind.... in a world where no one has ever forgotten me, but I'm not the Euclidean's only son."

Start talking so that it sounds like a facedown raid or echidona facing forward.

The history of Julius Euclius, which is no longer remembered only by Natsuki Subaru.

"My father, who ran out of the house of nobility, was bound with the mother of the people, and I was born between them. That's why I'm a civilian. Until my parents died and my uncle took it back, I had nothing to do with nobility... so I made up my way."

"You must be a sleazy haribote."

"Maybe so. My essence is a crude little boy who didn't know his ideals when he was walking around the field wearing plain clothes and laughing with his friends, not tuxedo."

You don't know etiquette, you don't have ideals to aspire to, and you work hard to live every day.

Such a way of being Julius should have been the future promised to me.

However, the future was pushed away by gunfire and the real parents disappeared.

That's why...

"That's why I dress up as a knight. Let's look good and seal ourselves up."

"Ome....."

"I knew nothing, I was ignorant, but I met an ideal. --I admired the knights. I yearned for a brilliant, clean knight. Therefore, let's stick to the longing."

Make a noise and re-attach the cape clasp, giving Julius a yellow look.

Raid, who was in a mood, changed his expression from frustration to suspicion. It's a surprise to be denied your words, but not bitten back.

A man depicting a young unattended person in a picture is unconscious to Julius's words.

Then Julius continued with a loud voice.

"I'm a clumsy man. Things just get in shape. With a splendid sword, I came to believe that if I wrapped up my good clothes and used the right word at the fold, it would be like that. That's why we're going through that. Let's preserve our glory."

I know that there are people who hate words like that.

I wonder if Natsuki Subaru and other things that come to mind are the worst of them.

But Julius thinks.

"A cane that corrects the spine, refines the body's taste, dresses up as a desire to exist, and penetrates the will. That's what I decided to wear forever."

――――

"Some people would make a fool of their appearance. But as dazzling as that, I believe that there are others. --so that I can stay focused on the way the knights are."

At first, I can't remember who gave rise to the yearning for knights.

But Julius became a knight.

Julius was called "the best" not only because of his sharpened sword skills, his polished spirituality, and the strength backed by them.

Julius Euclius's way of being was what made him think he was a knight.

Because it was the "best", "excellent", and "knight" way, and the appearance of glory was dazzling.

After that, Julius loosened his lips and turned back to Echidona.

To her in the presence of the beloved LORD, Julius waved his neck small. --To her who remembered Julius from the bottom of her heart.

To tell her that she didn't have to feel guilty.

"There was no need to fear, regret, or mourn what had been forgotten. It is in the knighthood that everyone knows and scorches that I exist."

And the same thing can be said to the 'women' who are here.

"I'm sorry, my buds. I put my trust in the lost bond, I didn't let you go, I made you feel uneasy all the time. I will free you from that neck tree now."

The whisper of Julius reveals a pale light shining in vivid shades - a beautiful Spirit claiming six attributes, the quasi Spirit of Julius Euclius.

Julius Euclius has been on the sidelines since before he became a knight.

They also forgot Julius, who had been deprived of his name by the power of 'Ravage'.

However, he was attracted to the indelible covenant concluded between the Spirit and the Contractor, and to the power of the "protection of the sperm" that Julius was born with, and continued to live indefinitely.

Julius also believed that the relationship would be restored once the "name" was restored, and he did not want to let them go.

What a stupid thing it was.

You didn't want to change what was left because everything had changed.

But...

"You've always been with me, Ray. I was too eager to let go of your love. [M] I was hoping that nothing would happen and that I would be able to return to those days. --Such a weak, pathetic, and ugly person returns me."

As bewildered, the six quasi-spirits sway around Julius.

Towards them, Julius gently extended his arm. Arms stretched out like a tree of stoppers, and the quasi-spirits who saw it slowly gathered there.

Julius smiled at the pale light that stopped in his arm.

"I was afraid of changing. But there are things you can't get without being prepared to lose. For example, it is the flowering of a bud named Love. A future where the long-sided buds can see with their own eyes what kind of petals will bloom."

――――

They answer nothing.

But they seemed to expect what was going to happen.

Therefore, Julius moves exactly as usual.

"My buds! Let you go. I'm sorry I kept trusting you with a long, spilled bond."

At the same time as those words, the quasi spirits surrounding Julius' arm flew away as if they had been played.

It even looked like it was a shock, and it was like lightning, a painful feeling that certainly penetrated only Julius and the quasi spirits.

Certainly, the bond, the bond, the contract that binds the soul to the soul is broken.

It is the pain and mourning of a spiritual artist who truly lost the existence of a bonded soul.

I don't know Julius, but Emilia once cried and squatted in the same pain.

Julius himself experiences the parting of the six spirits at once, causing wounds to his soul.

A distorted sensation scratches his chest and Julius tastes the peeling of his soul.

It is a pain that is fundamentally different from when it was forgotten by the buds by the power of 'predators'.

Not only Julius, but also the quasi spirits must have felt the same pain and regretted it.

I may have cursed the wound on my soul that I shouldn't have made a contract with a human.

But...

"--Besides, I'll call you guys again."

――――

"I love you guys. If you will accept this prestigious affection, let's do it again. --A new contract between me and you!!

And Julius cried out loudly, and once he stretched out his arm to heaven.

When they heard the appeal, the quasi spirits, scattered as if they had been played, quietly flashed for one second.

With hesitation, it was just a second.

△▼△▼△▼△

Warm light envelops Julius Euclius' body.

It gently soakes into the wounds of the soul carved by the severance of the contract.

There was joy. I was angry. I was sad. There was love. There was also hatred.

Those many emotions were more than ten years old for Julius and them.

Let's make it something that never happened, and spin a new future again.

I don't know if this is the right answer. But I thought I wanted to be right.

You may go wrong again and again.

You can't keep choosing the right path all the time, and you may pass.

But every time I do that, I'll shape myself.

Even if something goes wrong, I'm not alone. I'm not alone.

If you want to go forward, you have an ideal that was created by great ancestors.

If you stop your feet, you'll find the warmth of the bud who keeps watching with affection.

And when I look next to him, there is the face of the LORD, who vows to devote himself to the faith that shaped him.

What am I supposed to fear from Julius Euclius?

"-That's right. My beautiful flowering maidens."

Six buds answered in one voice - no, the flowering maidens answered.

When the light comes out...

△▼△▼△▼△

"From now on, I will walk this path deeply, gently, hurting each other."

The pain of breaking a contract is healed by a bond that is renewed.

Six, more mysterious lights than before, Julius Euclius looked ahead.

There is the figure of the vertex that I yearned for as a broken sword.

But the envy of Julius Euclius is somewhere different from its summit.

Therefore, there is no hesitation in opening up that vision with the light of the rainbow.

"Thank you for your patience, Raid Astra of the Sword Saint. --I 'll see you at first.

With the knight's sword shaken away, Julius grabbed the cloak and bowed gracefully.

Then raise your face, become the most admired 'it' in the world, and name it.

"― ― I am Julius Euclius, the 'best knight'. It is the sword of the kingdom that slays you."
