Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

"- Okay, Subaru.From now on, you'll always have to understand that you're dying. "

"Hey, you're kidding me, this little girl."

"I'm not a little girl, I'm not kidding!Listen to me seriously!

Saying that, Subaru nodded to Beatrice, whose face turned red.

I'm sitting on a beautiful carpet and in the middle of a lecture by Dr. Beatrice with a short arm, but this is hard to talk about.

The main reason is that Subaru makes a mess between the conversations.

"Besides, I can't let Bear child be cute...."

"What would you say if you thought you were serious?... well, it's a well-known fact that Betty is cute, so I guess that can't be helped anymore... "

"You, the moment you crossed the event, the delta index was incredible...."

"That's a terrible servant outside the ladder!

Beatrice stepped on the taro and revealed his anger.That seems to be the same attitude as before, but Subaru's feelings are very different.

I used to bump into each other a lot, and I had the impression of a neighborhood kitten that I hardly missed.But for Subaru, Beatrice today...

"Like an irreplaceable cat who wants to bury his face in his stomach."

"Seriously! Listen to me!I wonder! "

"It's all right!

A murmuring Subaru is blown away by a shock to the bare Tris.She shrugged her shoulders as Subaru fell to the wall.

"Don't make me say it again and again.Is this an important story?It's a really dangerous story to miss.I wonder if it's your gate. "

"... a gate?"

Subaru wakes up and scratches his body on the spot.

Gently touching your chest, thinking about the inner part of it - an organ that you can't see or touch with your eyes.

The Gate is an important organ that exists inside the organism because it uses magic in a world different from this Subaru common sense.It seems that this good and bad work is related to the wizard's aptitude, and even in the case of Subaru, there was a gate that was not very good.

The past is because the gate has already been lost.

"I didn't do it strictly. I broke it."

"I was told not to use it, but it was because of the outburst.Well, the next time I see Ferris, it's not a big deal.I ruined your treatment. "

"Congratulations. I wonder if you're anxious.... not necessarily next time."

Repairing the Too Too Tough Gate, completely ignoring Ferris' advice.With that cute face and voice, Subaru shrugged when he was angry like a ghost, but Beatrice's gaze was more serious.

"As a result of the gate breakdown, you may not be able to emit mana properly.Still, if you're alive, mana is produced or absorbed and stored in your body.But there's no way for you to let it out.... "

"You're not telling me you're going to burst into pancakes, are you?

――――

"Hey, Beatrice!?I'm scared to shut up!

Distracted and silent with an awkward face, Subaru speaks loudly.Beatrice finally raised her finger and said, "Okay."

"Without joking, you're right about that recognition.If it stays like this, I'll slowly accumulate mana and get sick, and eventually I'll go with a cloudy mana. "

"I'm so scared! Is that how you do it!?

"So, it's Betty.Luckily, Betty made a deal with you... with Subaru to connect our souls.As I told you, Betty needs a little mana from someone else, unlike other spirits.I mean.... "

"--You 're going to do something about my mana!

Hearing Beatrice's inverted homerun idea, Subaru stood up vigorously and lifted Beatrice's small body all at once.

"Nhhh!?" With Beatrice raised and screaming, Subaru turned around on the spot.

"Amazing, Bear!I can't believe you're here!Now you and I are friends!

"Well, I guess that's it!From now on, you'll remember that every time you lose Betty's mood, your life will be miserable.If you don't want to die, why don't you keep Betty in the mood with your whole body? "

"Heh, I mean, keep it cute with all your might.Rather, it depends on how bright you can keep shining.It's a big responsibility, Bear. "

"Why should Betty say that?I don't think so!

Subaru was walking around with her as she heard Beatrice shouting with a red face.

Cumming, cumming.

Crunch, Crunch, Crunch, Crunch...

△▼△▼△▼△

Yes, suddenly the feeling of turning your sight suddenly breaks, and your consciousness awakens.

The last drowning pain suddenly disappeared, and Subaru was attacked by the pain of breaking the rhythm of breathing and the size of the earth on his back.

"--Ko, ahh, woosh"

Wake up while rubbing your throat and recall what happened to you.

At the same time, if you look at the center of your chest, you can't see the arrow that should have stood there.Besides, scratches like scratches on the trees disappeared.

Of course not. Oh, and I was struck in the chest by an incredible blow.

"Dead...?"

Taste the feeling of uncertainty that crumbles under your feet, making Subaru's blood cold.

Eventually, Subaru lost his life after being swallowed by a black shadow at the Preades tower and blown away for just a few minutes.

Again, I understood how dangerous I was standing and got up.Svalbard looks around as he manages to support his fluffy body.

And then...

"Shit, that sucks...."

Curse your misfortune by making sure that it is in the middle of a vast green meadow and that you don't see the figure you wanted.

The place must be the meadow where the Subaru flew out of the tower.

The problem is we can't find Lem and Louis who flew with us.In other words, when Subaru came back to die...

"After Lem strangled me and dropped me...!

Restart point after being strangled and fainted by a carrying lem.

I would like to say that the fact that Lem did not wake up and that there was no final loop in the Preades tower is good news in itself.

Or if we could go back to the final loop of the tower, there was no hope that we might be able to talk to her again after she had disappeared.

"Stupid, I am.No, I'm an idiot. "

If you had such unpredictable thoughts, you should have made more time while you had the time to talk, the time to touch each other, and the time to listen to your thoughts.

Natsuki Subaru doesn't deserve to mourn like that.

Now, anyway...

Find Lem.

We have to follow the escaped Rem and solve her misunderstanding.

If the cause of Lem's escape is the remnants of the witch surrounding Subaru, it will probably make the smell stronger now that he's 'back to death'.

It is more likely than before that you will not be able to make further contact with me.But Natsuki Subaru's year wasn't light enough to give up on her for that reason.

"Besides, there's someone who killed me.... that's right, that bow and arrow can't be Lem's attack. "

Worst case scenario, Lem could have attacked Subaru, but I didn't think we'd be able to get all the tools for that in a short time.

Not to mention, bows and arrows are not easy or quick to prepare.

"The arrow that stabbed me had a knife and feathers on it... but I didn't feel that much pain because I was beaten out of my heart..."

If you are attacked by that mighty bow, you won't be able to beat a lemon.

It will be difficult to escape in Lem, who has no free legs.Anyway, we need to get her out before she gets poisoned by those arrow fangs.

Even if you don't think that Rem is on Subaru's side.

"Let's go, Natsuki Subaru.- Show me what you're good at. "

Close your cheeks and temporarily forget the shock of 'death' and the sadness of being hated by your precious girl.We don't know if we can meet if we find it, but we need to find it first.

Whether you mourn or get angry, it's all about life.

――――

Exhaling deeply, Subaru jumps into the woods, following Lem's footsteps from fallen grass, as he did earlier.

However, I was very doubtful as to whether I should speak up in search of Lem.

The baptism of the bow and arrow earlier probably resulted from the enemy finding an unprotected Subaru.

The other party's identity is unknown, but it's harder to think of it as a friendly opponent than to come to kill with a single blow.If found, they should be considered 'dead' enemies.

"It's just that instead of using a tool called a bow or arrow, we're dealing with a beast, not a monster."

If the opponent is also human, it is possible that they will not have to kill each other as soon as they negotiate.Nevertheless, it is unknown whether the negotiating table will be followed by the other party.

In general, out of the total number of Subaru's "Return to Death" to date, the rate of death of humans and beasts is roughly mutually reinforcing, slightly human.

Just because the other person is a verbal person, I don't think that friendship can be forgiven.

I think the more manpower we have, the more likely we'll be able to find Lem.

Cor Leonis.

Turning his eyes, Subaru activates his inner powers, driving away the clutter.

Cor Leonis, a new fierce force in the Preades Guardian Tower, is an exploration technique that identifies the position of Subaru's nearby allies, the opponents who support Little King.

I was hoping I could use this to pinpoint Lem's whereabouts.

But...

"... no, there's no response.Did he go far away, or else he didn't think Lem was on my side?

I don't know the exact range of 'Kor Leonis', but I didn't see any pale light in the effect range that might be on Subaru's side.

It is distance and relationships that make it impossible to locate the opponent.

I can't feel Emilia's effects at all now.

I didn't know the location of the raid or "eating too much" in the tower, even if it was someone I knew.

I can confirm the activation of "Kor Leonis".

Speaking of which, the Ally Radar is powered on, but not responding.The reason for this is that Emilia is out of range and Lem, who is supposed to be in range, is not taking Subaru as an ally.

--Probably because we don't know where Louis is with Lem.

"Even if I'm wrong, I can't treat him as an ally.That's why you're so obsessed with Lem, you're not gonna get caught by my radar. "

Come here and regret the bad communication of your contact with Lem.

Now that Subaru is wearing the remnants of the witch, I don't know what word to choose to win Lem's trust.Still, Subaru couldn't say anything about protecting Louis or taking him with him, even if it was deception.

"Damn it... why...?!Why did I wake up with Lem...? "

We have to chase after him like this.

She was waiting for a day when she could get up and move around freely with her feet, but if she actually moved like this, Subaru couldn't help cursing it.

When I thought about who to hate because of that, I was only angry with the Bishops of the Great Crimes of "Ravenous Eating", including Louis.

――――

With his grandiose thoughts, Subaru walks carefully through the woods.

Staying low is the one who once killed Subaru - for convenience, he is called the "Hunter", but it is a painful measure to avoid contact with the hunter again.

I think you should apply more mud to your face, camouflage your clothes with leaves, and apply a camouflage effect, but I can't even spend time with hate.

At the very least, if we know exactly how long it's been since we got off the Lem, we'll be able to do the search.

"Think, think... you can't use my smart head like this.Lem forgot everything and doesn't remember.But I still had the ability to assemble myself and feel the remnants of the witch.It's a lack of episodic memory. "

"Memory loss" is often used in cartoons and games, but in many cases, the memory loss handled corresponds to the lack of episodic memory.

It was the same state in the tower as Subaru, who once lost his memory due to encounters with "convulsion" - no, because that Subaru only lost his memory since he came to the other world, it is not strictly the same state, but it is close to it.

In other words, I remember things like the name of things and the reflective behavior that stained my body, but it is the name of myself or others, or the state that I have lost the contents of memories.

It was proof that Lem called himself 'me' and instinctively warned Subaru because of the smell.

"Lem must be confused.I can't run away forever.When you pull me away a little bit, I'll make time to calm down and look back at myself.Not if that Louis is with us. "

It's ridiculous to pray for something like this, but I hope that Louis will pull Lem's escape leg to the fullest.

If you don't waste time, sometimes don't like to walk, and at best bother Lem's hand, Subaru will catch up with her.

Alternatively, Lem may have limited himself to Louis.

If Louis is too out of hand to take care of him,

"... I don't know."

I don't know if Lem abandons Louis, who at least looks like a helpless child.

It can be said that Lem, who lacks episodic memory and is, in a sense, nothing, is losing its sense of inferiority and self-establishment from its natural relationship with Ram.

The stability of the rum, which lacked the presence of the lem and remained unchanged, was abnormal, but whether the same would happen to the lem.

Not the lamb and the sisters, but the pride and inferiority of the demons, and I don't think anything about Natsuki Subaru, such a lem -

"─ ─"

As soon as I imagined it, I felt my chest burning, and Subaru stepped out strongly.

As the branches stepped on the stomach screamed and broke, and slipped on the muddy ground, Subaru fell asleep, dodging the tall grass in the front.

"Ah?"

Suddenly, the forest opened and Subaru came out to the meadow.

I don't know, I think I went around the woods and went out to the same place, but if I look around carefully, I know it's not.

It resembles the first meadow, but the grass under its feet has a different height.

This one is slightly taller than the first meadow.Besides, they were surrounded by a forest of 360 degrees, but this is just the forest where Subaru jumped out.

There is a large horizon in front of Subaru, which leaves the forest, between the grasslands.The sky looks so high that the mysterious illusion of being sucked in makes the feet suspicious.

But Subaru wasn't the only sky that caught his eye.

In front of it, a small space made by cutting open the grasslands and the tools of the camp placed there - early on, it was a trace of someone being here.

――――

In an instant, Subaru's whole body became alert and his vision narrowed considerably.

Fortunately, there is no shadow of a simple campsite.It was difficult to think of a trap just because of the signs of camping.

The question is, who built this campsite?

"The most likely one is the one who killed me..."

The hunter who took out Subaru, it is highly likely that this campsite was set as a base camp for hunting in the forest.

In that case, Subaru should leave immediately to ensure his safety.

Whether you encounter a forest or a field, there is no doubt that the hunter is dangerous.

Often, there's a story about a tiger mistakenly shooting a deer and a human in the mountains, but it's impossible to mistake a deer for someone who is looking for an acquaintance while shouting aloud.

Hunters are dangerous enemies, so we should conclude and act.

But...

"... if you could just tickle one of the knives"

The density of the trees to be called dense forests, and I need the help of tools to navigate through them.Hate, Subaru only possesses his favorite whip, Gilty Whip, made of powerful materials.

The dress for the sand and sea offensive is subtly useful for the dense forest offensive, but it will change dramatically if it is also a blade to cut and advance the trees.

So, if you get one of those tools from the camp, it's a lot different.

With that in mind, Subaru completed a short period of reflection and proceeded to the camp.

I had a choice to cut back quickly and go back into the woods, but I also wanted to avoid leaving without thinking about Subaru's purpose.

Mindful of the footsteps and surroundings, Subaru stepped into the camp.

"It's a sign of a fire... is this a bed?

There were signs of a fire in the center of the campsite, and it was found that there was something like a bed lined with cut grass beside it.There's no doubt someone was here.

And it's empty, and there's nothing left.

"At least if you find a knife or something like that..."

"--Oh, do you want a blade?It's been a long time since you showed up. "

As soon as I tried to easily inspect the camp and find out if there were any tools available, Subaru stopped feeling the voice from behind and the cold thing on his neck.

Holding his breath and slowly lowering his gaze, the blade on the right side of Subaru's neck was a beautifully polished sword.

――――

Subaru takes a deep breath and understands that he gave his opponent the right to kill himself.

But at the same time, I was confused by the voice coming from behind.- I'm alert. It's already a fatalistic situation, so I didn't mean to be alarmed.

Of course, I know that some of these meta-humans who live in different worlds move at a speed that Subaru cannot catch up with, and even realize instantaneous movement.

However,

"Do you want to pull a few exceptions here?... how unlucky I am. "

"By the way, who told me to speak?It's about choosing every word and every action.Don't forget that your life is in my hands... "

Subaru curses his own misfortune, and the voice of the opponent from behind is relentless.

As they say, if you imitate something funny, you'll be able to jump your neck right away.Subaru desperately thinks of a solution, feeling certain intimidation that it will.

From the voice, the opponent is a man.

Because it sounds so young, it must be about the same age as Subaru or slightly higher.I have a habit of choosing words, but I don't remember any strange or uncomfortable feelings.

And above all...

"With my mouth shut, I can see this and wisdom.But you don't have to throw your life away and try to fight back.... hmm "

I had the insight to read our hearts from the silent Subaru atmosphere.

The thoughtful exhaler apparently thought of something behind Subaru.

"I don't see it around here.I don't think it's suitable for Badheim's climate.My hands and feet are white... not local. "

"I... uhh"

"Shut up. Someone told me to open my mouth.Next time you're in a bad mood, try talking after your neck and torso are separated. "

I am reminded that I am not willing to respond to the conversation and that my neck has been shallowly cut off.

The tingling pain and spilled blood spread through the neck, but the opponent's perception of Subaru didn't end.

"The lumbar whip is inconvenient to use in the forest.I've trained my arms and legs quite well, but not enough to line up with wolves.... you didn't come after me. "

――――

"What are you talking about?If you don't explain, will you die here?

"Huh!? This time it's okay!?What a mess!

Protesting the opponent's irrationality sharpened his sharp gaze at the back of his head.

After making an extra statement, Subaru hardened himself, but the stiffness was finally solved by the sword being pulled on his neck.

However,

"--Turn around slowly. If you imitate something funny."

"You're gonna choke me?"

"No, I'll drop my arms and legs, rip my heart out, and burn it in front of you."

"Too evil a threat!

However, Subaru raised his hands and slowly turned back, proving that he was not willing to fight back, in response to the threat from the opponent that only the excitement was conveyed.

And look carefully at the person behind you -

"... really?

― ― The man who hid his face in front of me with a wound roll was seen face to face.

△▼△▼△▼△

It was a really weird guy.

Her back is slightly taller than Subaru's, and her figure is blurry and thin.He stood in a long position, holding a thin sword like a sabre or a rapier with a shallow ripped neck of Subaru in his hand.

The costume is a fine aristocratic costume, and it can be said that it is more out of place than Subaru.Looking closely, the straw on his face was probably originally a cloak.

I don't know if you hurt your face, or if you just don't want to show your face purely, but...

"What? That stupid face."

"Anyway, if you're stupid, you're not bad at all because you're born with a face... whatever it is, I can't help it if you look like this."

"Do whatever you want.I'm just looking at your face and wondering if it's an assassin again. "

"I don't know what to do with my eyes!In general, my role is the exact opposite of that of an assassin.I'm not an attacker, I'm a protector. "

A man who keeps his sword pointed at us without loosening his guard - no, a masked man.

In response to that gruesome voice, Subaru looked at his gear and the luggage placed behind him and frowned.

The outfit was also unsuitable for camping and forest activities, but the bags behind the masked man - all of a sudden, just like the man who appeared behind Subaru - appeared suddenly in the place.

In addition, the masked man's gear.--There are no bows and arrows.

"... it looks like you're not a hunter."

"Hunter?"

"This story. By the way... do you think you can move at once or become transparent?

――――

As soon as I asked, the black eyes of the other person peeking from the mask were narrowed.

However, the reaction was not angry or exhaustive, but interested in Subaru.

In fact, when the masked man exhaled "oh,"

"Why did you come up with such an idea?Tell me why. "

"... I was on guard before I got anywhere near here.Of course, I know there are a lot of guys who can move my guard off, but you're not. "

"Why?"

"Don't be angry, but I happen to have a lot of opportunities to meet people who stand up on their arms, so-called meta-humans.Compared to these out-of-the-box people, the atmosphere you feel... is normal. "

If the opponent was a samurai in the corner, he would definitely buy anger.

But that's how Subaru felt when he confronted him.The atmosphere that comes from the man in front of you is a common one that certainly can handle the sword, but it is well trained.

From the eyes of Subaru, who knows Rheinhardt, Garfield, Wilhelm and Julius, I can only say that they are inferior.

"When that happens, there's no theory that I flew out of my senses.The rest appeared behind me in an instant, or else.... "

"I wonder if you were blind using 'Hidden'."

"─!?

Shortly afterwards, the man who was supposed to be in front of me disappeared from Subaru's sight and was stunned.

But the surprise didn't stop there.

"He's gone... but is he in front of you?

"--Correct. Hidden can't go away."

As soon as I answered Subaru's question, the masked man came back in exactly the same situation.

It wasn't just gone, it was just gone.And the moment I answered Subaru's question, I came back.

"Unlocked when touched or conscious?

"It's a great tool to hold your breath and hide."

That said, the masked man lowers his sword at Subaru and turns to the edge of the camp.It's where the bags are.

Sleeping on a bunk.He was breathing a little further away.I saw you sneak in from the beginning.That was funny. "

"Being vigilant is so stupid from the side... that's fine!You put down your sword.... "

"You're not a chaser.I don't know the reason or the intent, but I would be the right person to get lost.Then there is no reason for me to blast it out loud.You also need to remind me with a blade. "

The masked man put the sword in his waist sheath to show that he was not willing to fight.After watching it, Subaru finally gets nervous out of his body.

And as soon as I left, I remembered my original purpose.

"Well, it's not when you're calm.Hey, I'm sorry for all the questions, but have you seen a girl with blue hair?I got lost around here. "

"Blue hair? No, I didn't.Instead, I brought my foot to this place, and the first thing I saw was you.What are you going to do? "

"I won't do anything!?I don't care... Shit, you're empty here, too.Hey, I wonder if you could help me find my guy.... "

――――

"That's right...."

Witness testimony is empty, and the rope of your request is slashed in front of you.

Receiving as an answer the cold eyes of the masked man, Subaru tried to return to the forest to regain his lost time.

"Wait, if we get lost in the woods, we won't be able to join them.Do you think it's best to prioritize your survival?

"- I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen.That's what matters more than my life.Whatever we do, we'll make sure we meet.No, I have to take her home. "

"It's more than life.I can only think of words as empty words if I actually hear them without even barking singers.I don't think so, but what's interesting is your eyes. "

When Subaru sharpened his eyes to mock recklessness, he was pointed at by a man.The masked man laughed little by little as he sat down and wondered if he could get his eyes poked.

"I am not a liar.I don't know if I could actually put my life and balance on it, but at least I don't seem to have arranged deception here. "

"Then... then what?If what I'm saying is true, so... "

"--That makes me more or less excited.I'll lend you some wisdom. "

A masked man slapped his fingers around his temples.

When I heard the answer, I thought I'd yell, "Don't be ridiculous," but I didn't jump out of Subaru's throat.

Strangely, this is also a strange story, but I don't feel suspicious of men.--No, it smells sexy.But it was more persuasive.

It's probably a man's natural charisma.

"Describe what happened to the child.I'll find a way to find out. "

"... me and her were suddenly thrown away."

As soon as I realized it, Subaru started answering the man's questions.

I didn't trust the masked man, I didn't trust him.--I just think it will hold on to the straw.When you feel comfortable, you want to trust someone you don't trust more than a straw.

Maybe that's all we talked about.

△▼△▼△▼△

You're not good at it.

And the first word of the masked man after hearing the situation was spicy.

Subaru explained politely what happened between Lem and the masked man, without the complicated surroundings.

Lem's memory was confused and he stunned Subaru and fled.And including the fact that dangerous little girls are acting together.

"I know. I was a fool.But I don't think that's the end of it.Exposing my recent black history and ending it like a fool..... "

"No wonder. You've taken the trouble of using my precious time to mock a fool like you.- That girl's got a pretty good head, huh?

"Ah, oh, that's probably..."

Subaru nodded honestly under pressure from the masked man's atmosphere.

It is a lemon that plays an active role in various situations of everyday life as a universal maid, but it is not possible to obtain such a rating just because of its high housework ability.

Place and move the right people in view of their abilities.--Even in battle, I read Subaru's breath, and he matched me without saying anything.

Lem is clever. Even if that memory was lost.

"Well, then you're more likely to have been plotted."

"Was that a plot?You think I was tricked?What do you mean... "

"In this case, the presence or absence of memory is not a problem.The important thing is that you are aware of being chased by your opponent's daughter and have the ability to think like this about your chaser.For example... "

The black eyes of the masked man looked at Subaru from top to bottom.

Subaru narrowed his shoulders as he felt he was being blamed for his indiscretion.

The masked man narrowed his eyes as he looked at such a Subaru.

"For example, they leave traces on their own grasslands and disguise the direction they fled."

――――

"You must have been in a hurry to wake up when the other person fainted.What happens if I have to look for someone right away and there's a footprint?

He drooling and ran like a dog after the trail.

That was what actually happened and the masked man looked at us like he was laughing at us.Of course, you can say that's a mistake -

"- Yes, I can't find any trace from the forest entrance.But because the road is bad, that's the only reason..... "

"Don't you turn away from the fact that it's inconvenient for you?"

"I always knew I was stupid and stupid.However, the other person and I have a common view that only adaptability and guts are glowing. "

I don't know what to say, but Subaru answers to the masked man.

In fact, the masked man's guess makes sense.In retrospect, the traces left on the grass felt too much "anyway."

Some wildlife foxes and rabbits use techniques such as deliberately leaving footprints and jumping into the grass along the way to disturb predators.

The traces Lem left on the grass, and the cunning trap of tricking Subaru.

"Let me go in another direction, from another direction instead....?

"In that case, the direction they often choose is the opposite.Psychologically, it makes sense to choose the most remote method.- Do you understand?

"... I'm sorry, but I'm convinced.Damn it, Lem!

As the masked man said, if he deliberately left a trail as a visible weapon, it is likely that he fled in the opposite direction.

However, if it hits you like this, you'll find a way to the opposite forest to catch you.I kind of feel like a bad guy.

"I'm used to having a bad first impression of my face and body odor.I'll catch up with you!

"That's a good thing.- Here, take it. "

"Hmm!?

The masked man, who stood up and tried to run out like this, threw something around the bags.

Looking at it, it's a small knife that fits in a leather sheath.

The masked man shrugged his shoulders,

"It's not a forest that can stand up to itself with a whip.At best, use it well. "

"Thank you so much for shaving... okay?I'm not giving anything back. "

"I don't mind. Sometimes I just want to do it.Or would you like to take everything from me with that knife?

I'm just kidding, but it's true that I gave Subaru that execution power.

The masked man's skill is quite good, but it is not enough to say that there is no Subaru opponent.In that sense, this was like some sort of beating.

But...

"--My name is Natsuki Subaru.I'm sure he owes you.I'll pay you back for what you've done.I don't do unjust imitations. "

With the knife received firmly on his hips, Subaru bowed deeply.Look at that, the masked man snorts a little "hmm."

"The road has already been shown.You'd better get going. At best, do what you can to win the faith of your escaped daughter. "

"That's true.Thank goodness! Well, that's true. "

"What is it?"

Waving his hand with gratitude, he stopped on the verge of rushing into the forest.The masked man shouted at the busy state, but Subaru pointed to the forest in front of him.

"I'm going through here to get back to the meadow, but you shouldn't use it much.There's a crazy hunter inside.I don't think that many lives are enough because they come from afar to finish with a bow.If you're going anywhere, I suggest you take a detour from this forest. "

"- I see. Okay.Let's keep it. "

"Oh, please.- See you later!

Listening to the masked man's reply, Subaru succeeds in avoiding the unexpected aftertaste that the benefactor suddenly has on the hunter.

Then he rushed into the woods and ran towards the first meadow with all his might.

"-That's a good piece!

Fortunately, there was no major difficulty returning to the first meadow.

The sharp sharpness of the knife I received from the masked man helped me drop the standing leaves and move forward.

Originally, with a knife like this, the blade spill is likely to get worse if I use it severely, but I don't feel such inconvenience.Maybe it's a pretty good sword.

"What you wore seemed expensive, and who were you...?

Wondering at that point, Subaru rushed back to the original meadow.Then I dared to explore the area where I was turned over.

"--Found it. This is your destiny."

Just in the opposite direction to the trace of this gaze, we find traces of grassland left unevenly shaped.I'm trying to erase as many traces as I can, but I think I could erase Lem's, but I couldn't erase Louis'.

As long as there are traces of efforts to erase them, there is no doubt that this is even more difficult.

I mean...

"Finally, I've got my tail, Lem...!

I care a little bit about what I just said, just like a villain, and I work hard to track down the signs that will make me a new landmark.It's the same as before, but the branches at the forest entrance are broken and the muddy footprints cannot be deceived.

"Found it! If this is..."

When he caught up with Lem, Subaru was brave enough to follow in his muddy footsteps.

Well, the next moment.

"─!?

At the foot of Subaru, who focuses on the mud's footprints, the tied cork is cut.It ejected the supporting branch with plenty of recoil, and an intense blow hit the side of Subaru from the side.

Uh-oh.

Subaru's body is blown to pieces by a branch as big as his own.Subaru, who rolled over the mud, sounded bitter and couldn't stand up to the impact for a while.

His vision blurred and he was struck by unexpected surprises, and Subaru's consciousness glowed like a police car spinning lamp with pain and shock.

"No, that's not true...."

After a while the pain subsides, Subaru finally gets up on the spot.I can still see it coming to my knee and there was a lot of damage on the inside of my flank.

But there was more shock.

"Trap?"

Running away doesn't just end there.

A girl who loses her memory but does what she can - the horror of Rem.

Natsuki Subaru finally realizes.

----This is the beginning of a second serious battle with Lem since he came to another world.
