Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

Chapter VII.6 "Far South"

"Hey, when was the worst time for a peddler?"

"What is that? I don't want to ask you any more nasty questions...."

Otto, who was glaring at the papers in his room, looks at Subaru's question.

Originally, there were wrinkles between my eyebrows on the opponent's paperwork, but the effect of the question was the magnification of the depth of the wrinkles, such as dong, and even twice the amount of salt plum.

"No, let me talk about traveling alone as a garfield.It's subtly different, but when it comes to pedestrians, it's like traveling alone. "

"I don't have to say that, but I have Fulfu in my case.Thanks to the patronage, I don't need anyone to talk to, so traveling alone is quite impressive. "

With that, Otto rubbed his eyes and put the papers on the desk.Then, in front of the desk with piles of materials, we face each other on the application sofa and look at the visitors who are spreading the chatter board - Subaru and Garfield.

On the board, the dominant one is Subaru, but it's a defensive defense.

"... Garfield, you're two steps ahead of the merchant."

"Ah! Otto, damn it!"

"Nh? Ow! That's what I'm talking about!I saved your life, brother Otto! "

Subaru and Garfield reacted to Otto, who taught him the best hand with a glance.Otto murmured "nonetheless," leaving Subaru in a bitter situation.

"Is Garfield interested in traveling alone?"

"You're not interested, are you?However, I've always been so clear about the Sanctuary.I've never traveled before. "

"Oh, I see. You're really interested.Well, both self-reliance and self-defense capabilities seem to meet Garfield's standards.Natsuki-san is absolutely impossible. "

"Hey, don't underestimate me too much.My master has recently praised me for my excellence, don't you know? "

"I guess you've decided to praise it and extend it.I guess I couldn't decide whether to praise or scold you. "

Otto's comments are sweet to Garfield and tough to Subaru.

In fact, it would be the right response for Garfield, who is strictly commanded to do so, and for Subaru, who is easy to ride.

Anyway...

"So, what was the worst thing that happened to a peddler?"

Are you still talking about that?

"General, I might be interested, but I'm interested, brother Otto.Otto, I think my brother Lee might be in trouble with the dragon. "

"Garfield is Garfield, what do you think I am!?"

Otto can't be pushed into trouble unless it's an emergency like that.

I think that Garfield's trust in Otto is somewhat excessive, but in the sense of responsiveness in crisis situations, Subaru's assessment of Otto is similar.

If everyone in the faction asks who is the worst, they will surely name Otto unanimously.

"Well, I can't really imagine such a situation....."

"What are you talking about?... I've been in danger in my life a few times, but it's probably best to be caught by a dangerous group. "

"Are they dangerous?You were attacked by a bandit. "

"--Well, it's similar.Fulfu and the Ryukyu were pulled away, and they were shelled without weapons or tools, ready to die. "

Subaru and Garfield looked at each other as they heard Otto murmuring with distant eyes.

You must have tasted so much fear.Otto's words weighed more than they deserved.

"Isn't that utterly lifeless?" Isolated and helpless Decoux Heights. "

"Actually, I did. Had it not been for the kind people who happened to be on the street, I would not have been alive. [M]--so I can't forget it.

"I see. People have a history."

With his arms tied together, yeah, while nodding properly, Subaru thinks of Otto's plight.

Tied up by bandits, deprived of tools, and entrusted to the opponent the right to kill, Subaru is not uncommon, but unexpected.

"Nevertheless, thanks to my help, I have Otto now.At that time, I don't want to thank the people who were on the street. "

"--That's right."

"What? That warm, raw reply makes me sick."

Otto's reaction was completely unexpected, so Subaru frowned.Even with such a Subaru answer, Otto is a bodhisattva attitude with a mysterious margin.

Next to Subaru, who feels the chill, Garfield firms his fist.

"Otto, brother Lee is in trouble. I see.Well, don't worry. From now on, I won't let Brother Otto see you like that. "

"Really? No, Garfield is really reliable.Compared to that, when I came to Natsuki-san.... "

"Don't compare me and Garfield in terms of force!I don't know how I feel about putting my efforts back into blisters! "

Subaru shows how to wave an invisible whip with a hands without holding anything.It's eaten by Garfield's fangs, giving it the gesture of being torn apart, and giving it a taste of helplessness.

Looking at Subaru and Garfield, who boast of winning, "Gunu...!", Otto exhales without strength.

"Garfield, advance the merchant diagonally to the right.Let's show the merchant the bottom line. "

"Ah! Oh, my God, Otto, you bastard!!"

"Hmm? Oh! Isn't that him?!General, weak!! "

"That's what you said!!"

Subaru barks with his own army driven behind the chatter board.Before the alliance of Garfield and Otto, the defeat was inevitable - it was the howling of the losers.

△▼△▼△▼△

- Prisoners.

After listening to the words, it was such an overnight square mountain story that passed through Subaru's head.

Weapons and tools are also taken away, and people are held captive while deprived of their liberty.Indeed, Otto was right, it was a natural situation to prepare for "death."

――――

Around here, Subaru is being held captive like a camp created for a battle seen in a big river drama or something.

I can see a number of tents, legs and weapons lined up waiting to be equipped.It was like a mixed army of people and subpopulations, with men in a physical atmosphere.

Subaru is sitting on hard soil with a simple curtain to avoid the wind.He was tied up behind his back, his legs were tied, and he was deprived of his liberty.

But more important to Subaru -

"Rem... there must have been a girl with me. What happened?"

"Oh, is it the girl who cares right away when she says she's a prisoner?Do you think it's okay for them to be important to you? "

In response to Subaru's quiet question, a man crouched in front of him - a violent man who shoved his shoes into Subaru's mouth - and a young man who seemed to have stopped him turned to one eye.

A young man a little older than Subaru with bright orange hair.I have a lovely smile on my face, but I don't get nervous because of the situation.

He is not armored, but he is one of the warriors on this position because he is a light wearer.--Not knights, but warriors.

――――

Having spent more than a year in a different world, I had the opportunity to compare knights and warriors several times.Of course, there are differences in positions and authority, but there are differences between knights and warriors that are not practical and can be seen.

Knights are gorgeous, warriors are boneless - not bad.The difference between what you want and what you want.

Knights must be relieved of their skill as well as their hearts and minds.In that regard, it will be necessary to have the appearance of cleanliness.Rheinhardt and Julius are good evidence.

Warriors, on the other hand, only need the strength to fight.

Therefore, the men gathered in this position are warriors, and the youth before them are no exception.

"... I'm listening. Who was the girl with me?"

"You're so stubborn, I don't hate you.... I'm fine, I'm fine. They're both fine.I'm a little too well. "

"─, really!?"

With a bitter smile, Subaru eats the answer.

The young man held his forehead down with his hands to prevent any further collapse to Subaru when he heard the answer he wanted to hear.

"I'm tied up.If you push too hard, you'll flip over and bite your tongue.Oh, don't stare at me like that.They're both safe. I'm not lying. "

"Don't give me both half-answers.If the blue hair is safe, that's fine. "

"That's a rather thin answer!?"

The truth is that there is no quote, but it makes no sense to tell young people about it.

Anyway, once you believe the youth, the next issue is Subaru's position.Earlier he said he took Subaru prisoner.

"It's hard to accept that I'm a prisoner, but if I accept it... why are you separated from the Rems?"

"If you want to see me, I'll see you later.If only you could answer our questions honestly.... they're in jail right now. "

"Jail!? Why are you acting like that!?"

I was told I was in jail, and immediately the harsh situation plunged Subaru's brain.However, Subaru's left hand and three broken fingers ran into severe pain to hear more about the incident.

A man with an eye patch stepped on his shoes behind a Subaru with his teeth tied behind him and a wounded part of his back, with sparks scattered in front of him.

The man roughly stepped on Subaru's broken finger,

"From what I've just heard, the prisoner doesn't have enough consciousness, man.You just have to answer the question, don't you? Ah? "

"Jamal, stop! You're going to faint again!"

"I'm angry that I don't know where I stand.I can talk if my neck is okay.If you don't break three, two more... "

"--Jamal"

Jamal, a man with a squatting Subaru's hand at his feet, laughed evilly and shouted, surprisingly the young man called out his name in a quiet tone.

When he heard that, Jamal took a breath and said, "Okay," he dragged his foot.

"Gah, gu..."

"Shit, thank Todd. Chest shit!"

Jamal threw up on Subaru so he could breathe with his broken fingers released.Jamal turned his back and walked away from this tent in frustration.

And as the footsteps went away, the young man Todd scratched his head.

"I'm sorry, Jamal's guy is upset.It was Jamal's unit that found you by the water.... "

"I was, but...?"

"So, it seems I've been quite resisted by your boy.The men in the unit are half destroyed, and the captain's face is shattered. "

"Ahh...."

I want to know what's going on, and Subaru wants to hold his head.

It's probably after Subaru crawled up to the water and lost consciousness.Rem, who woke up earlier, knocked Jamal and his friends down.That's why Jamal is in a bad mood.

At first glance, Lem is a poor girl who can't move her feet, so there is no blame on Jamal who forgave the pre-emptive attack. I don't know, but...

"I hate him...."

"Haha, what a strange encounter. I don't like it very much either.And you missed the point. Fingers? "

"It's broken... the pain is getting worse."

Still, the claim of tingling pain persists, but Subaru chewed his back teeth and temporarily shut out his weakness groaning at the pain.As long as time permits, I'm going to go with the accumulated pain liability right now.

"Todd, is that okay?"

"Oh, I've heard a lot about you.Yes, it's Todd. So, Mr. Todd asked me a question.I told you earlier..... "

"Just answer honestly.... what do you want to hear? "

After all, Natsuki Subaru is just a stranger.

I don't know how to cross the world, and I don't have the expertise to cheat on the knowledge that is the promise of hate and other things.If you don't, you'll cry when you push it.

"How can you answer me like that?"

"What direction is this humiliation in?Well, it's hopeless, but there's only one thing I want to ask.- Are you "The People of Shdrak"? "

"... shuddering?"

Todd's question, which is a waste of youngsters, is a word I don't know.

But when he heard Subaru's reaction, Todd put his hand on his forehead and said, "Look, I knew it."

"The reaction made me understand. You have nothing to do with this."

"Hey, wait, you haven't answered anything yet.Whatever comes first..... "

"I don't think so. Nobody lies when they hear about a soldier.I don't even know who he is.And when they say, "The people of Shdrak," no one will believe it. "

――――

It was conclusive, but it didn't sound blunt.

Todd's convincing words are persuasive, and Subaru can't resist.

But then...

"What is this' people of Shdrak '?"

"We're looking for him.That huge forest... is somewhere in the Budheim jungle. "

Todd, who answered the question, points behind Subaru.But Subaru, with his arms and legs tied, can't easily look back.Then Todd put his hand on my shoulder and turned around and backed me up.

"-Badheim dense forest"

"This whole area is a forest.How many years would it take to find out? "

Todd murmured, but he couldn't help but say so.

As much as that, it was a vast forest.

From the captured positions in Subaru, the green continues to the horizon with no end to the right or left.If the depth is comparable to that, it may be comparable to the Amazon without metaphor.

I can't believe you found 'The People of Shdrak' in such a vast forest.

"... I suppose it's impossible to be modest."

"You think so, too? No, you're really here.If you're many years late, your fiancée will turn you in. "

The sorrow of a soldier sent to the battlefield and separated from his lover.

Subaru is somewhat sympathetic to Todd's remarks, which make him feel closer to it.However, since it is Subaru who is separated from his important opponent in the current form of progress, his sympathy will not last much longer.Rather, the issue at hand is more important.

"Hey, Mr. Todd. From your eyes, I think I answered honestly.Then I'm glad you kept your promise. "

"I can't see my fiancée and I'm mourning, but I want to see a woman?No blood, no tears. "

"I don't want to be told by one of the guys who stepped on a broken finger of an injured person."

"Ha, that must be it."

Though quite an unbelievable Subaru's answer, Todd burst out rather than angry.Then he crouches down beside Subaru, loosening the rope of his leg, which was tightly tied, so that he can walk.

"You can walk on a small crotch.I'll take you to jail. "

You can hold your hand under your armpit and lift your body.When I got up, it was about half the interval of the usual step, but the freedom of my feet was restored.

I can walk with this. I'm glad I have short legs.If Subaru had been as long as the model, he would have been out of balance.

Well, please show me.

"It's so funny... you, you..."

Todd smiled bitterly on his back, and Subaru walked at a slight stride.

Then I saw the curious eyes of the men around me watching Subaru, who had been taken out of the prisoner's tent, walk at once.Some mockery was seen, but Subaru didn't take it seriously.Instead, I will observe the men the other way around.

It still looks like a battle position.

Rapid wooden fences cover the perimeter of the position, and there appear to be more than a hundred people.However, it is very impossible for a hundred people to investigate the entire forest.I know how Todd feels about mourning.

And that's how Todd and his fiancée sympathized with Subaru.

"Ah, you remind me... where did you get that knife that came out of fishing for your luggage?"

――――

In response to Todd's reminder, Subaru raised his eyebrows for a moment and immediately remembered the knife he had in mind.

In the woods, the knife given to me by the masked man was very helpful in breaking through the obstruction-ridden woods and the traps set by Lem.--Now, was that masked man the "people of Shdrak" they were looking for?

If so, it is nothing more than a betrayal of the benefactor to speak of his existence.

What's wrong?

"No...."

Todd wonders about the silence, but Subaru also has a difficult choice in his heart.

Todd treats Subaru with relative serenity under conditions of captivity, but he must still be treated like a prisoner.Friendship is hard to say.

On the other hand, the masked man is likely not to see me anymore, but he also gave me effective advice to find Lem and gave me that knife.High level of benefactor opponent.

I mean...

"Hey, what's up?"

"--That knife belongs to my house. It's a treasure."

"Really? Hey, that's a little something for you."

Huh?

After many thoughts, I decided to shelter the benefactor in my heart.

Todd's voice rubbed up slightly in surprise to Subaru, who thought so and lied.

Though it was Subaru who didn't know why, Todd succeeded the word "because."

"It's a knife with the Sword Wolf national crest.I heard that the Emperor gave it directly to me.That means you're an honorable family, right? "

Wait a minute.

Todd, who played his voice, and Subaru, who was listening to him, took a breath.

The so-called knife I received is good for now.There seemed to be quite a surprising episode, but I'll leave it there for now.

The problem is more separate.--The Sword Wolf national crest and the Emperor.

――――

With his lips tied, Subaru stopped and looked around again.

Several tents, fires, scoffing men, too big a forest - and beside the big tent, I saw a blue flag in the wind.

--A black wolf pierced with a sword is depicted in the center of the blue flag.

It's been more than a year since Subaru came to this other world.

There are also more opportunities to be introduced as one of Emilia's knights, and I am in the middle of learning a lot about the common sense of our world because I will never sit down as a stranger.

The results of the study coincide with the wolf penetrated by the sword - the "Sword Wolf".

It's...

- Holy Volachian Empire

An imperial crest crossing the border to the south of the pro-Rugunica kingdom.

This was the first time Subaru understood that they were flying across the border between the kingdom and the Empire.

△▼△▼△▼△

--The Holy Volachian Empire.

That is the land that Subaru is now a prisoner of - no, the name of the country.

Subaru's impression of Volakia as a result of his studies in other worlds was that "even though it is true of games, empires are like evil nests".

Like the Kingdom of Lugnica, the Volakia Empire, one of the four powers responsible for the balance of power in the world, is the largest country to dominate the south of the world map.

In Volacía, which is blessed with fertile land, a warm climate, and richer soils than Gusteco in the north and Carrargi in the west, it seems natural that the system of "weak predators" was formed.

Many races and nationalities are disrupted, the strong gain everything, and the weak are lost and oppressed.

The Volachian Empire - and, indeed, Natsuki Subaru - was home to some of the most incompatible people.

- Holy Volachian Empire

When I saw the flag waving by the tent, I accidentally spilled it out of Subaru's mouth.

Todd raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard that stunning Subaru murmur.

"Long live Volakia!"

Wow!?

Suddenly, an explosion sounded like an explosion in the back, and Subaru suddenly rose to heaven.And in response to Subaru's jumping surprise, Todd laughed "hahaha."

"What the hell, that reaction.Shake it from you. "

"Long live Volakia?"

Long live Volakia.

I don't remember the wet clothes, but somehow I got it.

"Long live the Holy Volachian Empire," he says.That is their common sense and part of their national nature.

And I know one more thing.

"... even if I was a Lugnica, I wouldn't let myself get away with it."

That was plain and a big pain for Subaru.

The current position of Subaru is one of Emilia's knights, a candidate for the King's race in the Kingdom of Lugnaca.Subaru, who was officially awarded the Knight's Medal under Roswar's patronage, is, in fact, only one generation old, but only the tip of the Lugnica nobility at one end.

Otherwise, none of the kingdoms of Lugnica knows about the King's Choice.

Therefore, if you reveal your identity, you can get a convenience.--At least once Lem was safe, I thought I'd tell Todd what I was talking about.

But if this is the Volachian Empire, it's a different story.

――――

The poor relationship between the Kingdom of Lugnica and the Volakian Empire was well known to Subaru, who had read the history books of the world.

The two countries, which repeated the Great War over their land more than 400 years ago, have been far from major battles since the Kingdom of Lugnica made a pact with the Dragon of God 400 years ago.

However, a sporadic little battle has broken out since then, and there is no doubt that the relationship between the two countries is still in a state of cold war.Before the announcement of the start of the King's race, I also heard that an advance arrangement had been made to prevent the Empire from waging war on this occasion.

What happens when you talk to the nobles of Lugnica in such a Volachian Empire?

As long as this is a sensible opponent of the Empire nobility, this is a battlefield terminal position.― ― Regardless, would Todd like to treat a bloody Jamal like a guest of state?

"Absolutely not."

In other words, Subaru no longer reveals himself in a circumstantial manner.

When this happened, it was lucky that the accompanying person was a lem who had even forgotten it - truly a small fortune in the misfortune of misfortune.

"Hey, what's going on? Not just your fingers, but your legs?"

"No, it's not. However, I can't stand the tremor of awe that rises from the back of my chest when I hear the words" Long live Volakia "...."

"Oh, I see. That can't be helped. If you are related to an Empire nobleman, it is only natural that you be struck by the way the Empire is.I didn't take enough care of it. "

"Haha, well, ahaha"

When I scratched my head, I wanted to scratch it, but all Todd had to do was laugh.

I see, it is a world view that was only known in the literature, but is this the "Empire"?

Imperialism, like Todd, is sweeping through the ranks of ordinary soldiers.Now that he saw it in his words and deeds, Subaru bit his teeth quietly.

It can be seen that some kind of trump card, the technique of revealing one's identity and returning to Maysers territory, has been sealed.

Or a conscientious Imperial might respect our position -

"... it's a little too bad to bet on alternatives"

"What are you talking about?Come on, let's face it. "

"A-ah"

Subaru was pushed in the back and hit on the shoulder as he was advancing on his crotch.

Todd told me to raise his face, and he brought me an iron cage at the end of the position.There was a girl sitting tightly in a number of cages arranged in order.

"Rem!"

"Ah, you..."

Find the girl you were looking for and Subaru jumps into the cage.Lem, who noticed us, frowned on the momentum and stared at Subaru with the same hostility.

But it doesn't matter. First, if we can make sure she's okay,

"Oh, thank goodness! Did you do anything?It hurts everywhere... hehe! "

"Wow, that hurts."

As a result of rushing with a small crotch, my leg collapses and falls to the front.Naturally, Subaru clashed from his face into an iron cage because he could not use his supporting hand.

Keep moaning, Subaru falls back.

"Hey, why are you suddenly here!?"

"No, evil... oh, I'm going to scare you..."

"I'm not scared! Don't be ridiculous.... how's your nose and teeth? "

"Eh!? You worried?"

"What? No?"

Rising up like a potato bug, Lem's answer was cold to Subaru, who sipped his nose.

However, his pale blue eyes stared at him, and Subaru exhaled a soaked breath of joy and pleasure.As he watched, the lem in the cage made his cheeks stronger and stronger.

"Yes, I know it's a touching face-to-face experience, but it's a bit wrong.Okay, so, uh, do you think you can call yourself Mr. Lem? "

"--Now, what do you think?"

"Oh, my God. There will be limits to your perseverance."

Interrupt into the encounter between Subaru and Lem and Todd looked reluctant.

The face of Lem turned away, but her salt response was not limited to Subaru, but was consistent with this position - that is, with the Imperials, including Todd.

That's why it seems like a lemon of inner Benkei temperament.

"If anyone bites him like that, he'll be nicknamed a rabid."

"You call me a dog for lack of words?It's not just the smell, it's the rudeness. "

"What do you mean the smell is ruining my gratitude?Does that mean you don't feel clean enough?But I don't really know what it's like to feel clean. "

There is a customary saying that a boy hates to the point that he hates to the point that Lem says exactly that to Subaru.

It is not good that I came here without being able to wipe the bad impression of my first encounter.

"Anyway, this kid is right in Lem.Thank you for saving me.... I can't thank you enough for seeing the situation in this cage. "

"Didn't I tell you? Jamal's men were beaten to pieces.If you don't let me do this, I won't stand a chance.Well, it's not gonna be a scratch. "

"... can I believe that?"

"I have the trust of the Empire nobles.I can't even say that to Jamal. "

Saying so, Todd explored his pocket and took out the knife.And when Subaru opened his eyes, he pulled the knife out of the sheath and cut the rope of Subaru's hands and feet.

Suddenly, Subaru exhaled with a feeling of openness from the restraint.

"Will you let me go like this?"

"Ah, I was going to take this kid anywhere... but it's not going to happen."

――――

"Don't look so scared. I'm not being mean.As you can see, we are forming a battle against the 'Schdrak people' in the woods.But we're not the only ones deployed.If you hang around badly, they'll catch you in another position. "

It would mean that positions are scattered everywhere to invade the vast forest.

If Subaru and the others inadvertently enter the premises of another position, they could still be trapped and interrogated just like here.

On the contrary...

"You mean you could be eating a lot of shoes in a Jamale-filled position?"

"Whatever you say, I'm a rare member of the Imperial Army.I don't like pain or anything, so I try to talk as much as I can. "

"Most people are as tall as that rude monk."

"Well, that's why I bought your anger, so I deserve it."

Lem's hard voice was filled with intense disgust.

Subaru doesn't seem to like him either, but his first encounter with Jamal was probably the worst.Todd, who seems to know the situation, does not follow Jamal, so it seems that his allies could not defend him.

"Todd, I know you're worried about our safety.But what am I supposed to do? You were mourning, but I wouldn't nod if you told me to stay until this forest was over. "

"That's right, and if we keep the outsider in position for a long time, we'll both get hurt.Don't worry, the supply team will be on their way to the nearby town in a few days.If we leave the position with that supply, we won't have to make any extra noise. "

I see, a supply team.

Of course, it takes a lot of food and water to feed a lot of people.It is unlikely to be able to cover all of it locally, and the army will need as many of the units that carry those supplies as the combat units.

That's why Todd advised me to accompany the players in this position.

"So, can I get into trouble for a while...?"

"Isn't that nice? We won't be able to move so soon... but we'd better stay away from Jamal.If you don't want them to eat your shoes again. "

"It's stained with bones.... is Lem okay with that policy? "

――――

With his face turned away, there was no reply from Lem.

But I wonder if there are any objections or alternatives to not denying it face to face.Just a cute rebellion, and I'll take it that way.

"But you guys have a different relationship.What kind of two are they? "

"Ah, think of me as a windmill or a traveler.Rem is my precious child, and I don't know the other one. "

"Still saying that....."

Hearing Todd's questions, Lem's distrust grows.I think Subaru failed, but on the other hand, I don't want to admit Louis as a companion.

Honestly, if the Empire will take over, I hope so.

"So he's not in a cage with Lem. Where have you been?"

"- She was taken for medical treatment.I think I cut my forehead somewhere when I plotted to jump into the river. "

"Healing... healing?"

Subaru was stunned for a moment and then turned straight to the answer of distracted Rem.

And then I jumped into jail.

"Did I say cure!?"

"Really? Yes, it's a treatment.Or do you hate having her treated for her wounds? "

"That's not wrong, but the problem is somewhere else.Hey, Mr. Todd! Where's Louis getting treatment?Which tent!? "

Todd turned to the Sword of Subaru and said, "What?But when he grabbed his shoulder, which he had no idea how serious it was, Subaru once again asked where it was.

"If you're being treated, it's a red flagged tent.But what happened suddenly? "

"Thank you very much, we're all going to die!"

Pushing Todd's peeling shoulder, Subaru rushed to the red flag tent.

With the momentum of Subaru, Lem and Todd looked at each other.

"What? Anyway, I'm going after you...."

"Come on, if you don't stop, you're going to be rude."

"Why do I have to be told..."

Todd, with his head scratched, chased Subaru in a hurry.

When you lose sight of Subaru's back,

"... what is it? He kept swinging me around."

And Lem murmured with a small voice that no one could hear.

――――

On the other hand, Subaru, who heard about it earlier, is wandering in search of a red tent.

When I heard that Louis was going to be treated, it was the worst chance I could get behind Subaru's head.

It seems somehow insane, Louis, and with her treatment, she will return to normal and possibly be resurrected as one of the Bishops of the Big Crimes of 'Ravage'.

If that happens, Subaru will not be able to defeat the rememberless lem, of course.Todd, Jamal, and the Empires of the position will all be in one bundle, and there will be many casualties.

I won't let that happen.If not, Subaru's heart was filled with impatience.

Then he stepped toward the red tent that caught his eye, slowly advancing toward it.

"Sorry, there's a blonde-haired scary kid here..."

"Ahhhhh!!"

As soon as I tried to flip the tent, a golden bullet popped out of the inside with great momentum.

It didn't aim the same, directly under Subaru's nose, wobbling his consciousness and upper body.As it is, Subaru puts a butt mochi in the back.

Then I quickly put my left hand on the ground.--The left hand with three broken fingers.

"Gyaaaaaaaa!!"

"Ahh! Ahh! Uhhh!"

Subaru is in agony with epic pain.Above the agonizing Subaru, there is a demon who is happily haunted. - It's Louis.

As she did when she woke Subaru up in the meadow, she smiled as if she were a manifestation of innocent evil, sneaking up on our chest.

I'd like to dispense with it, but my painful consciousness won't allow it.

"Ga, ku, ah, ah..."

"Wow, did you put your left hand on it?Wow, that's tough... but when I saw it, this kid looked normal, too.I need you to take care of my forehead. "

Todd, who caught up with the agonizing Subaru, gently grabbed Louis as he sat on his fallen chest.Louis rattles his hands and feet, but Todd doesn't mind.

Todd was right, Louis had a bandage wrapped around his head and his forehead was cut.However, it is not magic, it is a simple medical means.

"K, ah... I see. That's what healing is like...."

I was anxious because I thought perhaps I would heal the wound with magic, but if I did, it wouldn't heal where I didn't want it to heal.

For the first time, Subaru's concern seemed to have ended in frustration.

"Treat a child you don't know so much about, and the child you cherish is cold.... I don't know, but you look like you're in trouble. "

"... I won't deny that.There's not a lot of people like me. "

If there is a limit to the hardship that humans experience in their lifetime, is this just a convergence of lifetime hardship?Or will the count be reset just for the part where you are "back to death" and not come forever when you are at peace?

It's horrible just to think about it.

"For now, I'm alive. That's what counts."

"Don't feel low on goals.... and what about you?Can we go ahead and accompany the supply team in a few days? "

"Ah, oh, please. But I'm sorry to leave you alone."

"Yeah? That's reassuring. I'm not going to leave you for nothing."

In Todd's words, Subaru, who was scratching his seat, said, "Huh?"and raised his face. Then Todd lowered Louis' legs to the ground and put his hands on his hips.

And when you show the empire's positions behind you by hand,

"This is the only position I have. I don't have enough manpower.I have a lot of work to do, and I need you to help me with this. "

"... you don't eat what you have to work for, do you?"

As Subaru murmured, Todd, who heard it, repeated, "I can't work..."

"Well, that's exactly what it feels like.You know a good word. "

Yeah, right next to Todd who nodded, Louis nodded like he did.

Looking up at the two, Subaru snapped his neck bones loudly.

"... much better than being told not to do anything or eaten by shoes."
