Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

--- On the feel of hard earth, the man lay down in large letters and did not move.

――――

I wasn't dead or asleep.

Just close your eyes and quietly organize your thoughts while carefully arranging your disturbed breathing.

Assemble, assemble, assemble -

"Hey, are you alive?"

"Oh, I'm alive."

I was shouted from above, and when I opened my eyelids, I saw the face of a man I knew.

From the upside down, it seems that it is a rare talent that does not diminish the rough impression.Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with resolving the status quo.

"Where are they?"

"After breaking through us and dropping you, he ran away in a flash.You... do something about it.I can't help it, it hurts. "

"Is that it?... oh, this one?"

He stood up scratching his head and looked at his flank, pointed at by the opponent.Then there was a thick arrow poking deep into it.

If it was slightly above the left flank, would it have worn the heart?

It's a life-saving wound, but I'm not very emotional about it.Not only the visual, but also the emotion that your body was worn.

"Actually, it doesn't hurt as much as it looks, does it?It will be difficult to move for a while..... "

"Idiot. Who said you were worried?I said it hurts on the side I'm looking at. Pull it out. "

"Say something rough to the injured person, you too."

The other person scolded me and grabbed the arrow that stabbed me without help.The difficulty with arrow wounds is that they have to be pulled out before the meat gets tight.

Fortunately, it was stung and time-consuming, and it could be pulled out with a lot of effort.

The bleeding is forced to stop by packing the cut edge of the torn clothing into the wound.

"So, the arrows are exactly what you ordered. What do we do now?"

"Stand back and rest if you're too deep.I'll take some of the escapees and smash them down.Tell them they're prey..... "

"That's a bad idea, Jamal."

What?

Take control of Jamal, the man who stated his future policy.

I understand your desire to pursue your escaping opponent in retaliation for what you've done to me.However, if we short-circuit the offensive hand, we will be able to see the pain in our eyes.

"Think about it. What do you mean, they're entering the Gural in a grand way?Given what we've done, it makes sense to have us in this city. "

"... I don't have enough ideas, I'm not an idiot"

"--I came aboard deliberately. Send an ambush outside the city."

Looking at the arrow that had just been pulled out, Jamal rang his throat.

Jamal, a samurai who looks like this, has eyes to guess how advanced the power and accuracy of the arrows that captured us were.

Naturally, I should have come to the same conclusion as myself.

"If so, their aim is...!"

"We lure the Imperial soldiers into the Gural and hunt them.If we're going after them with all our power, we're going after them in small numbers.--Which one is the prey?

――――

With remorse, Jamal stares at the other party's escape.

Jamal's inner mind and intestines seem to be dominated by a raging rage, but his mood is painfully clear.- I'm not saying that. More than anger, exclamation occupied my chest.

Use yourself as a brass and catch up on stupid enemies with carelessness.

An undeniable enemy, a child of war.

"... I missed killing you, I really screwed up."

Looking in the same direction as Jamal, he murmured.

Then, take a breath like you're back in your mind.

"There will be a chance of retaliation.- They're coming back anyway. "

"I'll never forgive you then."

He nodded silently to show his approval to the hammer who pushed his anger and killed him.

And for the time being, we will see this battle as a defeat. On top of that,

"Jamal"

"Oops... what's with that hand?"

Jamal raised his eyebrows to the ground as he reached out.

With his neck tilted to the ill-conceived, he succeeded in saying, "You'll see."

"Oombu"

"Die alone!"

I shrugged at my friend's worthless reply.

△▼△▼△▼△

Stepping down on a strong, hard ground, pushing forward with a large crotch while cutting the wind with your shoulders.

As we approached our destination, the feeling of getting ourselves out of the cowhide was irresistible, and finally, at that moment, the body was jumping out of the way.

I felt like I heard various voices around me that stopped me, but I couldn't hear it.

Shake them off and go straight to the building of interest.As I entered the center of the settlement, a large wooden building, the sights of several human beings inside focused on us.

And then...

"--You 're back. I don't know, you're early."

That's what I said, "Happy birthday." It was an honorable man wearing a wicker.

Don't say anything to that unnatural attitude, and push straight ahead.Leaving it to the momentum, he relentlessly stretched out his hand at the man overlooking him.

The face was removed without any resistance, revealing the man's splendid appearance.

I grabbed the unbearable magical breasthold and stood up.And then, trying to knock the fist that swings on his face...

"Waiting, Subaru"

On the verge of punching him off, he was forced to stop pulling his right arm from behind.

It was the suppression of Mizelda, the chief of the settlement, who had red-dyed the tip of his hair.Throughout this period, he opens his mouth to complain about his actions.

But sooner than that, Mizelda put "good" in front of her.

"Don't look at me. Others"

"Whoa!!"

― ―

After receiving Mizelda's answer, he stroked his fist into the stretched torso.

You were ready to be punched in the face, or the man who took it off spilled a bitter noise and went back.Not all of the anger that has accumulated will be cleared.

"Don't think I've become a charlatan, you son of a bitch...!"

"--Hmm, you're a greedy man."

The man who picked up the slippery side and wore it again - Abel - kept his mouth shut.

Subaru exhaled roughly after a blow to the man, who was also responsible for the resentment accumulated in the reservoir.

I went backwards for more than three days just to punch this one in.

△▼△▼△▼△

"Look, sister! This is the famous" People of Shdrak "settlement!You're in the middle of nowhere! It's a discovery! "

"Oh! Amazing, Grandma! Look, look, look!Guys, like me, it's bumpy, bumpy!Grandma, it's stupid! "

It's bumpy!

Such a breathtaking feeling of brothers and sisters who don't choose such a place spirits into the village sky.

The Flop and Medium O'Connell brothers and sisters were invited to the "People of Shdrak" settlement in exchange for their unfaithful feelings.

In the middle of the square, the brothers and sisters on the cowhide are surrounded by shdraks gathered in rarity.Apparently, he doesn't choose land or environment as a fearless character, and while attracting a lot of attention, he doesn't show any kind of fear, vigilance, or anxiety.

The reality is that we are surrounded by under-informed tribes, so I think it would be normal and appropriate to remember the danger of life and physical danger.

"I brought back a lot of noisy people.Is that what you need for your journey?If so, the values are different between me and you. "

"I don't deny that the values are different.There's a big difference between what you and I see.That said, I don't care how much that attitude is. "

Huh?

Subaru and Abel sit on the floor of the assembly hall and confront each other from the front as they did a few days ago.

Abel took a blow from Subaru's sanctions earlier, but his words and actions showed no intention of reflection.I wanted an apology, but I didn't think about it.

But I didn't miss the flops.

Because...

"Abel, we got into this.He was kind to us stuck in front of the city.... just for that reason. "

――――

It was Lem who explained the reason for Subaru's anger instead.

Unlike last time, no one paid for the meeting, and except for Subaru and Abel, they participate in the discussion.

Next to Subaru sat Lem, who was seated, and Kuna and Holly, who were accompanying him, and next to Abel were Mizelda and Tarita's sisters.

By the way, it's Louis, but she's taken care of by an old Utakata.By now, it's a cowhide in the square, with flops surrounded by shdraks.

Anyway...

"Thanks to your cooperation, we were able to get home safely.Instead, the flops were targeted by the city's soldiers..... "

"No, I'll correct it.It's not the city soldiers that are targeting us or the people outside.An Imperial soldier. Those who serve this country have become your enemies. "

――――

Abel's cold words penetrate Subaru and Lem beyond the screen.

Hearing his thirsty words, Lem lay down his pale blue eyes without strength.Indeed, Subaru understands that this is an undeniable fact.

But understanding it is a separate matter from convincing emotions.

"It was my mistake to be stared at by the Imperial soldiers in my position.Hostility is also the result of the actions I choose. "

"Yes, it was your cause before I came into contact with the 'People of Shdrak'."

"There is no excuse for that.I made the enemy because it was definitely me.- But I should have been the only one to get paid for it. "

It is true that the majority of the failures are in Subaru, but the problem here is Abel's attitude.

From the beginning, he should have understood the dangers of the Subaru entering the Gural.You must have encountered a surviving Imperial soldier and realized the possibility of being attacked.

That's why...

"I instructed Kuna and Holly to wait outside the city in advance.If they chase us out of town, they'll follow us. "

"Really, really, it was close. No.Without me and Kuna, by now Subaru's head would have been in half with an axe. "

As she scratched her cuddly, Holly shouted with a round dumpling on her cheek.Unlike Kuna, who has a strange face next to her, she doesn't understand the atmosphere of the place.

Of course, Subaru is grateful for Holly's help.Without their cooperation, it is likely that the damage to the head would have been real.

"Keeping an eye on Kuna, Holly's arm will help us... shooting bows and arrows from a distance, a combination of the two skills."

"... I hadn't heard about the terrible situation over there, Atai, but..."

The lack of power in Kuna's supplementary words is evidence of a negative attitude towards the Subaru people.

Nevertheless, Kuna's guilt can be described as a mistake.The words she gave me when we parted before we went into Gural inspired Subaru.

Had it not been for the advice, I would not have gotten Holly's help.

However,

"The idea applies only to Kuna and Holly.- I predicted perfectly that this would happen, and I'm not going to be nice to you. "

That's why the first thing I did back there was to sanction Abel.

Abel would have talked differently if he had seen the reflection.But, as most predicted, Abel is not nasty, rather than reflective.

He is playing with the wrath of the Subaru people with the same grandeur.

Even now, there is no shadow in the sharp eye on the other side of the screen.

It's as if you're still going to say, "What's wrong with that?"

"Hey, why don't you just shut up and say something?"

"--What's wrong with that?"

"... I mean it."

Subaru sharpens Abel's gaze with his teeth in the middle of a damn imagination.

However, Abel passed on coolly, such as the look of Subaru's bullet.

"When you suddenly dance back and you think you've hit me, it's just boring grudges to line up?I should have warned you from the beginning.It's not an easy journey. "

"Gh...."

"Jump to immediate peace and be rewarded for not using your head.It is most likely that the remnants will be the destination, such as the nearest city to the burned formation. It's obvious. "

"Well then... that's what I should have said from the beginning!"

The words of Abel, who stood on one knee, thrust into Subaru's immaturity.

In the first place, however, Subaru understands and admits his mistakes.The unfortunate sudden explosion that resulted from my own thoughtless actions and previous actions.

However, Abel knew there was a danger, and he overlooked it. Abel's behavior was a simple hostile act - if the enemy side's point of view was out of the question, he would have fallen into a trap.

"You knew everything from the beginning.The likelihood that we will encounter the surviving Imperial Soldiers in GUARAL, or that we will escape the city with a bubble... "

――――

"Anyway, you knew everything.And yet, you shut up. "

If you let the momentum open your mouth, words that you shouldn't say will pop out.As soon as he restrained it, Subaru concentrated his anger on Abel so as not to see Lem's face next to him.

Subaru brings out the flames of anger, and Abel looks cool - no, cool.

How far is this man looking at the world with his clear eyes?

And what are you playing with the Subaru for while you're looking forward to it?

"Answer me, you son of a bitch. Why did you..."

"I saved you a lot of trouble."

"Extra labor...?"

Abel said to the biting Sword of Subaru with a sound indistinguishable from his sigh.

And when Subaru glanced at the answer, Abel gently rubbed the ground of the assembly room, and picked up the thirsty soil in his palm.

"People like you value what you see in the eyes of a fool more than the advice of a wise man.The severity of the raindrops is more eloquent than what I say in my mouth. "

――――

"You must have felt terrible for me.- You have no escape. "

As he said, the earth fell from Abel's palm.

With just that technique, I learned the illusion that Subaru was badly and clearly blocked in all directions.

Being the Emperor of the Holy Volachian Empire makes it easier to manipulate others with good speech.

In front of the emperor, who is the fiercest of the thousands of sea mountains, the appeal of Subaru is equal to the call of the monkey in the cage.

And in fact, Subaru has no choice but to hold his head.

"... what do you want to do after all?"

"I've already told you what I want.Retrieve what was taken.That's why the Empire is my enemy now.It's an enemy to you and to you. "

"----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

For the time being, he explained that I had no reason to hurt you.

Abel's words are poisoned into Subaru's head.

Abel's tale of not getting a clear answer seems to be old enough to roll Subaru into smoke, while it feels like he's trying Subaru.

Again, Abel didn't tell Subaru, but he kept saying it.

Think and choose with your own head.

Again, Abel provoked me to come up to my foundation to argue.As it stands, Subaru is not even in the same position of argument as he is.

And the Emperor is not gentle enough to wait for Subaru to rise to the stage.

"Is there a reason for me to help you at this disadvantage?It's smarter to sell you to the Empires... if you use your head, that would be a good idea. "

"If you have the strength to sneak out the 'People of Shdrak' and get me out of here.Besides, be careful where you stick me.How many Imperial soldiers will stand up and welcome you, who played a central role in burning your team? "

"That's...."

"Not to mention, you just went back to GUARAL... From the other person's point of view, you did the same thing when you deliberately followed the hive.I don't seem to be aware of how dangerous I was. "

――――

The words of Abel, lined up with frustration, accurately block Subaru's escape.

In fact, it is impossible for Subaru to fulfill the content of the flickering threat.Abel is right. Subaru has no way of getting Abel out while Miserda and Shdrak plot against him.

And who will listen to the words of Subaru, who forced himself through the gate and fled, even if he brought Abel to Ghoral?

I knew you should have killed me!

Though you don't want to turn your eyes, Todd's killer comes back to life behind Subaru's back.

Todd was shot down by Holly's arrows, but Subaru, desperate to escape, has not confirmed his life or death.- No, he's surviving.

Todd's black-and-white intentions weren't easy enough to get away with.

In other words, the plan to surrender Abel to the Empire as a souvenir fell at the time of drafting.

Otherwise, we can't give Subaru the help of others.Perhaps Subaru's ethics are too clever and straightforward to do so.

"Is it all on your palm? I don't like it."

"... hate, and only some people can roll in my palm.I'm sitting on the dirt now because I couldn't cut a part of it. "

――――

The response to Subaru, who threw up, sounded like Abel's self-ridicule.

His expression was invisible and the tone of his voice remained unchanged.But it seemed like a mockery.That's unusual - no, it's the first time Subaru has heard of Abel's self-ridicule.

And it's an indisputable proof that he's making realistic perceptions.

A crownless emperor who forgave his treason and was chased after the throne.

It is in the deep woods that the situation of lowering his hips to the soil of the assembly hall of the 'Shdrak people' is proof of the inexcusable state of affairs for him.

――――

Looking at Abel from the front, Subaru thinks quietly.

So is our future policy, but I don't know Abel's true intentions.I am afraid that he will suffer the same misfortune once again by his speculation.

In fact, what is Abel thinking?

Subaru doesn't think Abel is planning to pull himself into his own team until he gets his hands together.He won't find such value in Subaru.

Nevertheless, if Abel has a reason to want to keep Subaru at hand, it is more interested in other accessories than Subaru himself -

"--Milord, these people are so happy and nostalgic!I'm impressed! "

"Wow!?"

Breathed in, Subaru was in the middle of serious thinking.

Slip your feet at the entrance to the rally hall and see a flop that echoes the beauty of its passage.He looked at the faces lined up in the meeting room.

"No, I'm sorry I'm late!Apparently, I see you here with the representatives of this settlement.Oh no! Miss Kuna and Miss Holly are just like each other! "

"Personal data"

"No, no."

"I see! This is rude!"

He stroked his long forehair with his hands, and when the flop came to the center of the assembly hall in a tight motion, he greeted him with a lovely smile.

"I'm Flop O'Connell again!I'm traveling with my sister Medium and Bottecliffe.For a variety of reasons, it seems that I was in a position to go along with my husband, wife and niece on their rare journey.Best regards, everyone! "

"I'm thanking you, I'm not thanking you...."

Taglita looks like she has a headache after receiving a momentum greeting from the flop.Then she looked at Mizelda's face next to her.

"Sister, what are you doing?I told the outsiders to step back..... "

"That's right... no, no, no, no, no, no.I'll leave it in my room. "

"Sister...."

Mizelda, with her arms tied together, looked at the treatment of the flop with her face.

Mizelda's judgment is very simple and easy to understand, but Tarita, who supports her sister as chief, will have a headache.Of course, if that was Mizelda's criterion, Subaru wouldn't be able to stay in the settlement, so I think there's something else.

"Yes, Mizelda-san, I want to check one.Mr. Flop is my guest, or I brought him here at my own discretion.But the only thing that makes you suffer from "the ritual of blood and life".... "

"The Ritual of Blood?" Hello, traditional welcoming ritual or something from this settlement!?I'd love to experience that too! "

"It's a traditional ritual, but it's rough to welcome."

It's a positive flop for a ceremonial challenge, but once his chances of being fought by the Witch Beast are presented, he'll be overwhelmed.I am afraid that my attitude may not change even if I hear about it, but I don't want it to happen anyway.

"--I knew it from the time we were separated by a wall, but it was noisy."

And it is the ruthless emperor wearing a twist who does not welcome such a flop attitude.

In contrast to the warm, sunny flops and the cold, bloody Abel.At least if Abel doesn't seem to like the flop, Subaru's blood will freeze.

"Oh no! Unusual face... hello, the head of the settlement.I read in some way that someone in a special outfit is in a special position! "

The first encounter between the two began with Flop mentioning Abel's quirky outfit.

It's not impossible for Flop to judge that from a conspicuous twist, but it's hard to treat Abel as a Shdrak.After all, the parts other than the onigi are culturally far from the other shdraks.Looking at it again, it looks too slippery.

"Though not a bad idea, you lack attention and thinking.Earlier, he said he was working as a peddler.... "

"Oh, yeah! My sister, Bottecliffe, puts goods on a cattle wheel and carries on business across the Empire... we are brothers and sisters in the wind and wandering around!"

Flop answers with his hands on his chest and sings.

Then, outside the building, from the square, he said, "That's right, Grandma!I heard a voice. Even if it is separated by a wall, it is a brother and sister with deep ties.

However, the proof of such a smiling relationship did not seem to have been a source of warmth for Abel.

Abel listened to Flop's answer and snorted "Hmm."

"Natsuki Subaru, you told me you picked these up in the city."

"Don't treat people like things.In the first place, it would be more accurate to say that Mr. Flop picked us up. "

"What matters is the essence.I don't have time for anything.But this is the first time I've praised you for coming back. It was great. "

"I don't feel complimented... what the hell are you up to?"

Honestly, it was Subaru's view that Flop and Abel were not compatible.

That's why I wanted Flop to wait in the square, look around and introduce him, but Abel's reaction was unexpected to Subaru.

Abel's interest, however, is not in the humanity of the flop.Of course, it's not even a medium that only knows how loud your voice is.The answer is clear.

"Merchant, how familiar are you with Gural?"

"That's a good question, village chief!I'm pretty proud of the fact that my face is wide in Gural. [M]Anyway, if you go too far, you can see there's no life!Even if you're going on a business trip, you have to get used to traveling around a certain land! "

"It feels like a careful and cowardly piece of paper....."

Koona breathes with astonishment at the always positive, confident, floppy answers.

But when I heard the answer to the flop, Abel kept quiet across the street.--No, Subaru's ears were slightly picking up sounds other than silence.

That was the sound of Abel's throat ringing small.

"Wow, it's a pickup, Natsuki Subaru.― ― A pedestrian who is familiar with the city will know one or two ways out.

"Hey, wait, Abel. A way out? What did you say?"

"Are you asking for answers again?You don't seem to understand the meaning of my repeated queries.There are no words I can give you for such a monstrosity. "

――――

It's the most frustrating thing to say, but I can't respond to Abel's words.

Natsuki Subaru is riding the land of isolation and helplessness to break the conversation and turn his back.Therefore, I think abominably.

--No, even if I didn't think about it, I roughly grasped Abel's thoughts.

It is obvious from your question to the flop today.

"Abel, you can't be..."

"Even if you have a bad head, use it to find the answer.Oh, you're right. "

Looking back at Subaru, who shakes his lips and strengthens his cheeks, Abel's clear gaze across the twist tells a ruthless policy.

And Abel said to let the others know.

"― ― Fall the castle city Gyalal.We need that city as our next base. "
