Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

― ― Securing the [Nine God Generals] was a prerequisite for regaining the throne.

Subaru felt on his skin that the air in the conference hall was filled with the two names of the victory conditions presented and the [Nine God Generals] necessary for that purpose.

Of course, the names of the [Nine God Generals] are familiar to the people of the Empire, and they are all new to Subaru.

"... if this were a cartoon or an anime, it would have seemed like a burning scene where the names of executives would be revealed."

When it comes to the situation that descends into my body, I can't help but be happy to let go.

The names and two names of the [Nine Divine Generals] that Abel spoke, both of which were flattering, were enough to make us imagine the troublesomeness of each person.

In addition to the fact that the two names of Arachia are "Spirit Sauce" and her own characteristics, I can imagine that the names of other things are also related to their abilities and fighting methods.

I can only imagine what kind of person my name is, [Curse Artist] and [Flying Dragon General]?

The two I pointed out were both synonyms from the way I fought and the tools I handled.

The other two names probably started with appearances and active anecdotes. In the Three Kingdoms of China and Shui Tao, etc., characters often name two names for such reasons.

If you think about it, it can be said that the content was also based on the theme of the country stealing. I don't know much about them, to the extent that Svalbard knows the outline.

"What a time to be running away from reality." Well, I'm talking about securing the Nine Divine Generals as a condition for victory, but I have a few questions to ask. "

"What, is there room for doubt?"

Abel recovers from the first impact and raises an eyebrow with his hand on the map on the table.

If you think you've finished explaining yourself there's not enough wise guy's words here. Compared to the "people of Shudrak", Zikl and the others in this room, Subaru has overwhelmingly less information about the Vorakian Empire.

"That's why there's room for doubt." If you just skip the explanation because you know it, you'll think you're somebody who doesn't know what they're thinking. "

"I think I'm going to give you some advice, and I'm going to listen to it." State your doubts. "

"Keep it in your chest without listening...."

Subaru sighed at Abel, his arms crossed, as he gathered in majesty. Then, he got angry at the signs that the surrounding gaze was gathering, and said, "Okay? And he stood up four and five fingers, respectively.

"The Nine God Generals, but thanks to the odd numbers, it was easy to understand and help." However, the favorite opponent is uncertain, and the Arachia and Chisha guys are definitely enemies. I'm already a lot outnumbered. "

Even though it is the premise of securing five or more people, the opponent has already taken two [Nine God Generals].

As an example, the life and death of the person named Goz who helped Abel is unknown, so it is highly likely that he has lost his hand until he can be sure of it.

"When that happens, the flag is even worse. It's good that the victory conditions are clear, but in fact, is it realistic to dictate the five Nine God Generals?"

"Hey, brother, that's too much of an emperor to lick." As I said earlier, my record of winning the [Rite of the Reigning Emperor] comes with origami. I told you I'd be kicked out of here. If only I hadn't paid in front of the gate..... "

"--You will have the same opportunity to shake the neck of the disobedient."

On your side!

Al's remarks, which seek to melt Svalbard's doubts, are burned down by the radical remarks of his master, who is unique. Although I am talking about how to add the [Nine God Generals] to my side, it is frustrating to devise a way to kill the [Nine God Generals] who do not take sides.

"However, the statement of the clown in the iron helmet was a shootout." In fact, if I say I want to see you, don't let the 'general' refuse it. The problem is, after we meet face-to-face. ”

You mean me, the clown with the helmet?

"I don't have any other helmets." If you have any complaints about clown treatment, please start with a complaint to Priscilla first. "

While silencing Al, who was making tea, Subaru returned to the subject of "in the first place."

"I don't understand the system of the Nine Divine Generals." The image of the nine generals directly under the Emperor, but isn't that what everyone is doing in the Imperial City? "

"A single general is the essence of the state." Look at the vastness of the Empire in vain. Even though the Imperial Capital is in the center of the country, let's move quickly and safely with everyone in the Imperial Capital. "

"Yes, your reign has dramatically diminished, but the Empire is still bursting with civil unrest." Protecting the Empire is not the cornerstone of protecting the Imperial City. ”

"... that means the Nine God Generals in question are scattered all over the Imperial City."

Supplemented by Priscilla and Zikl, Subaru convinced himself by placing his hand on his chin.

As a close analogy, Rozwar was also awarded the exaggerated title of Western Frontier Territory in the Kingdom of Lugnica, and it seems that the dilemma of the kingdom obliges him to work first.

Of course, I have permission to set up a private regiment in the territory for that purpose. - But in the case of Lozire, the individual forces seem to be stronger than the ones that organize the army poorly.

Just fly and drop the fireball, and most of the opponents will be fully sealed.

”Thinking about it, he's also quite a cheat unit... compared to the Nine Divine Generals, I'm a little curious about where he is located”

I don't know, it's a bit of a misstatement, Natsumi

"I'm sorry. Anyway, I know that the Nine God Generals are scattered all over the country." Then you realize that not everyone was involved in the coup in the Imperial City? "

"As far as I can see, it would be realistic."

Abel nods to Subaru to make sure.

Honestly, I'm worried about Abel, who has just discovered a considerable lack of crowds, but it seems to be a good topic to swallow for the time being that no one around him points out.

In any case, it is good news that not all of the [Nine Gods] have turned against them.

If you secure many [Nine God Generals], you will be satisfied with the condition that you can capture the victory in this battle. And if Subaru ever wonders--

"I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but it's an additional question. The Nine Divine Generals, but if the sequence is simple and the order of strength is good, then the priority should be the ones with the highest sequence, right?"

"Oh, I'm sure of that recognition."

"Well, that's enough to put you in line with Reinhardt, Cecilus?" Isn't that why you decided to go get this person...? "

Four of mankind's strongest men who make a name for the Four Powers.

If Cecilus is the person who is called Reinhardt, isn't he the one who set the tide in the battle?

In fact, if Reinhard could win the battle against the entire Kingdom, such out of common sense expectations and opinions were sprouting in Subaru.

So, naturally, Cecilus, who was his classmate, also had such expectations.

But--

"... it's true that if we secure it, we can solve all the problems in terms of power."

Why is it such a painful face?

Abel's expression, which frowned and answered Subaru's question, was not excellent.

Subaru seemed to be expecting nothing from him, but on the other hand, he didn't have a sad expression on his face. Abel let out a small breath to reveal the cause.

"The only way to secure the Nine Divine Generals is because many generals obey their war ceremonies." The more Nine Divine Generals you add to your banner, the more Generals you add to your gestures. You know what I mean? "

"--Oh, I see. That's why we should take the strongest one as our ally." Or is the name "Empire's Strongest" false? "

"No, I have no doubt that his slaves are the strongest in the empire." I just have a problem. "

Problem?

"--His slaves are hopeless."

Subaru's thoughts stopped for a while at a word that had accumulated in his pocket.

When I think about what is considered a problem, the words that are heard slowly penetrate my brain. When there was no hope, the information was chewed correctly.

Is that what you're saying?

"It's true. It's in the seat of the [Empire] General, but he has no authority." No matter what I give you, I can't do anything. All I can do is kill people. "

Don't put that guy in the general's position!

"Well, well, calm down, brother! That's just the custom of the Empire, so I can't help it!"

Cecilus told Abel that Al was strangling Subaru who was eating. While holding Subaru with one arm, Al tilted his neck and looked at Abel.

"In fact, I didn't give you anything but the title of" "." "Give me the authority I need to take this position. It might have been used a lot by good people."

"Of course, you can't let it be used by anyone other than me." If there was such a danger, I would have disposed of it sooner. ”

"But you were alone in the woods...!"

Even if I was told to hold the reins, if the situation was different, I would just slap them in the mouth.

In the first place, it is okay to accept that the person who is even called the strongest in the Empire cannot attract people in the Volakia Empire, which is dedicated to this strength.

What's going on over there, Zikl-san?

It's me, isn't it?

"Yes, yes. As the 'general' of the Empire, please allow me to give you my unabashed opinion." What do you think of a single general named Cecilus? "

Zikl turned to the water and thought with his short arms together, saying, "That's right."

Then he nodded several times in Subaru's anticipated eyes,

“First of all, there is no doubt that Lord Cecilus is central to national defense and a symbol of the strength of the Volakian Empire. The Imperial Citizen is the embodiment of his strength and his way of being."

"Oh, you're doing well. So?"

“It's a sunny, pleasant person who is humanly open and friendly, and who never changes his attitude towards anyone. Overall...."

"Overall...?"

"Many generals are hard to understand monsters, and I fear Lord Cecilus will not be able to communicate in the deepest parts. I think your Lordship is right."

The evaluation has developed rapidly!?

Only Zikl, who had only shown the face of a good person so far, chose the words quite a bit.

There is also the view that Abel, the emperor, was concerned and exchanged opinions, but various painstaking appearances were floating in the eyebrows, and the statement was probably true.

In other words,

"It is unacceptable to hold on to the" "samurai" "of the Nine Divine Generals, and to lean on the momentum at once. Even if you twist your head without a clown, it doesn't mean that the busy [Aiiiii] won't come to mind."

"Shut up! Don't blame me until there's no crowd!" In general, it's only natural that the Emperor and the General should have a coup d 'état! "

"How many times do you want to repeat it?" Don't think you're going to miss out on disrespect. "

With a sharp gaze from Priscilla and Abel, Subaru raised his tongue to both of them.

Nevertheless, it is true that the prospectus has collapsed even if it is fragile. If the securing of the [Nine God Generals] is equal to securing the number of fighting forces, there is no advantage in rushing to secure the [Nine God Generals] without any desire.

"Rather, if there is no crowd, I can leave you alone...?"

"That's a problem, too. In some cases, he had the ability to change the situation on his own. Even if all the remaining Nine Divine Generals are captured, there is a good chance that one of them will take this head."

"I can't handle him!" Isn't that a mess! "

There is little to gain by hurrying, but if left unattended, it will become a dangerous bomb.

Reinhardt, whose strength and humanity is guaranteed, is reminded of how good the property is now in a distant foreign land.

Why don't you call me in a loud voice and rush me to a neighboring country?

"I have to tell you, foolishness. If it is" Sword Saint ", it is impossible to cross the border due to the agreement between the state. It would be wiser not to have crappy expectations."

"Don't read people's minds. I didn't mean to do that.... it's not a good attitude to rely on only when you're in trouble."

I can't say that it is a friend relationship to use it conveniently just because it rushes me if I call it.

If the situation was really bad, I might not be able to say that, but until that moment came, Subaru was prepared to uphold the ethics.

So? Have you exhausted all the foolishness that Abel has been treated as an army master?

"It's not exhausted, and I'm not an army master, but the first part..."

Svalbard answered Priscilla's question with a frown. So, when I tried to move on to the next topic of the meeting,

"--Miss Natsumi and the village chief!" Excuse me! "

The door opens at the same time as the powerful voice, and a new figure appears in the conference hall.

Flop, a beautiful man with long blonde hair, came in a blue-based outfit.

A flop that was supposed to take care of the wounded on the upper floor, where the claw marks of the rampaging Arachia remain. As he gathered his indoor gaze, he looked at Subaru and Abel and nodded, “You were there.”

The figure of the flop is stained with blood everywhere, highlighting the misery of the treatment site surrounding the field hospital.

But the fact that he showed up here...

Flop-san, how's everybody doing?

"I just got a step!"... yeah? In that case, I wonder if you're feeling like Milord, not Miss Nutmeg. Well then, let's call back Milord. "

"Well, either way. But, I see, one paragraph....."

While receiving the slightly diagonal consideration of the flop, Subaru bites at the same time with relief and anxiety after hearing that the therapeutic act has been delimited.

Relief is simply that the rescue of the injured is over. Those who are anxious will hear the consequences of the rescue.

With the goal of "bloody castle opening", the aim had already failed.

Seven guards have been sacrificed when Arachia was taken out. The only thing left to do is to see if any of the wounded are willing to join us.

"There are no dead, Milord."

"Eh......"

"Everyone was in a pretty tough situation." But thanks to your wife and niece. I also helped Lady Tarita and Lady Utakata to be agile. Of course, my sister and I struggled too! "

I read from Subaru's complexion, and Flop answered me ahead of time.

Flops who point their fingers at themselves and pronounce their contribution are clean. The answer was also concise, and Subaru needed a beat to chew on the information.

However, after one beat of delay and deepening understanding, a big, big sigh leaked out.

"There are no dead people..."

"Oh, it's a testament to everyone's best efforts to survive." If I hadn't been sheltered by my sister, I might have died from a blow to the head! Hahaha, my sister can't get her head up! "

"Oh, yeah, it really is. I can't raise my head to medium-san...."

Flop laughed cheerfully, before Svalbard leaned down and shook his shoulder.

No price tags, full agreement without jokes. Medium - No, nobody else would have heard this report.

There are lives that have been lost. But there are also lives that have not been lost.

The emotions that this brings to your chest are enormous ─ ─

What happened to the merchant, the healing magician?

Abel interrupted the conversation in a pale tone, in spite of Subaru's emotion.

Listening to the unfamiliar sound of the healing magician, Subaru raised his eyebrows, and Flop also put his finger on his lips and thought, "The magician..."

"Is that perhaps... Milord's wife?"

“Who else is there? Even though there was something other than that girl that could be used to heal magic?"

No, there's no one else I can think of!

Just?

"I think it's better for the village chief to say something more likeable to the other person." Even if you call it friendliness, things will go much smoother! ”

Abel raised an eyebrow in response to a clear protest from the very front.

The flop I told you about was grand, but to be honest, the side I was listening to was quite harsh.

Of course, Svalbard didn't feel so good when he called me Lem by his ability.

"That feeling is not as convincing as my brother's disrespect before."

"If you think about the road to this point, I have the right to say that... then does Mr. Flop have the same right?"

I don't know, but I'm curious about my brothers.

It's too turbulent to talk and listen to, but there's another chance to delve into the subject.

Whatever Abel says, Rem's safety is Subaru's top priority. Of course, my eyes are certain that she has no noticeable trauma.

"Are you trying too hard to fall?"

"Don't worry about that, Milord." Of course, thanks to your hard work, it's quite exhausting, but it's within the range of a good rest. It's wonderful to have a hard-working wife. ”

"I see... I'm glad to hear that."

Gently stroking his chest, Subaru was relieved by Flop's drumming.

The situation is the situation. Although I had to rely on Lem, I was frankly scared that she would work too hard. No matter what Subaru says, Lem won't listen to me for what he can do.

"-My wife?"

Then, beside Subaru, who stroked his chest, Al murmured quietly.

He puts his hand on the helmet's chin and twists his neck.

I didn't see it up there, but did my brother's girlfriend come too?

"My little girl... is that Emilia?" No, I'm not coming. I don't know how relieved it would be to be here... but on the contrary, I don't want you to be here. "

Emilia's gentle nature and the Volakian Empire's way of doing things would be water and oil.

Emilia thinks things slightly like a brain, Emilia may fit with the imperial flow and the sense of skin, but the cruelty of the empire goes further. - The Empire doesn't suit Emilia.

"--My daughter-in-law, other than my daughter-in-law, hey"

"...... I'll tell you, but for convenience, that's what I'm talking about." To tell you the truth, I'm the one who decides to treat you with the utmost care. No matter what, I'll take you home. "

――――

With my hand on my chin, I explained this to Al, who muttered lowly.

Al's strange rumors could not have spread beyond the Empire, but I can't let them get away with it. I was also given water for my determination.

"That's a good man, he was called a merchant... but are you Abel's subordinate?"

"Hmm, it's not that I'm a subordinate." My sister and I are in a position to cooperate with Milord and the village chief. Well, maybe the newest friend is the right one! "

Oh, I'm with a friend.

Priscilla, who exchanged words with Flop, loosened her lips to his answer. Priscilla covered her loose lips with a fan and sent a meaningful gaze to Abel.

"Before my concubine knew it, I worked hard to make friends. Emperor Volakia's throne is now much easier to open.”

"Don't be sarcastic. I don't remember that guy and I were friends anymore."

"What are you talking about, Village Chief!" You're the one who dived the deadline in women's clothes together! "

"If we dive into the dead end together, will we be friends soon?" Then the Imperials will be all my friends. And the one closest to me who dives through the dead end is my enemy. "

A perfect rebuttal of his position, and the flop who had received it grinned.

That being said, Abel was a sword-like objection that I couldn't help but be unharmed.

"Anyway, Mr. Flop brought me some good news." This is my cousin who had a more exciting story..... "

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

"... what is it?"

It is a bright topic that has finally been brought to light in a less positive meeting. So she blocked Subaru, who was trying to bounce, and Abel choked on the flop.

As his gaze was guided by the motion, Subaru looked down on Flop.

Mr. Flop?

Yes, I noticed the change in Abel's expression, why he pointed to him.

Flop, who lacked a bright and clear expression, floated a slight hesitation and sadness in his eyes, which pierced the way the sun looked like.

"If you are a merchant, you should be careful how you carry the subject." In that regard, I don't think you're really suitable for a merchant. "

"I have a lot of opinions, so I have some thoughts, but I'll leave them for now."...... Milord, there was a part of my story just now that I didn't have a word for it. "

――――

With Abel pointing to the side, Flop shakes his long eyelashes sadly and looks at Subaru.

His tidy appearance, and the honest atmosphere that floated there, clung to his chest. If you don't want to hear the other words, you can't help but hear them.

In that sense, Flop had the natural talent to make his opponent listen. If it wasn't for this situation, I would have been able to praise my talent as a merchant.

But--

"It has nothing to do with the village chief." I want Miss Kuna and Miss Holly to come with me. "

Now that I couldn't stop Flop from saying so, I hated it as much as a cursed genius.

△▼△▼△▼△

"--Abel and Nutmeg also came."

Called by Flop, once they left the conference hall, Subaru went to the upper level of the City Hall.

The injured were gathered together in a space like a field hospital, and it was Miserda with her charred black hair that greeted the Subaru.

The Guaral assault group was ravaged by the ambush of Arachia, but Miserda was the first to be ravaged by the flames and the last to be defended against Arachia, and was the most seriously injured.

He was burned to the ground, swallowed by a tornado, and then scratched to the gut by a blow from Arachia.

No matter how tough her body was, Mizelda's vitality must have been tested to see how far she could go with Lem's healing surgery, which could not be said to be in tune.

"I'm sorry to call you, Ta." Da-da, I thought I needed to tell you as soon as possible. "

"Miss Mizelda..."

While saying that, Miselda sat on the object near the wall and smiled thinly.

Miselda, one of the mighty Amazones, smiled with a wild style that Subaru and the others had shown so many times before, and it was missing.

Even so, the power of the eye-catching expression has not been lost. That was the imbalance.

"First of all, thank you." "Miracle Tada" who took his life thanks to Lem.

――――

"I'll also take the city and show it to you brilliantly. I admire your work as the Shudrak Patriarch. On top of that, for the future battle, I have to declare that I'll cum."

In praise of Lem's dedication and Svalbard's contribution, Misserda corrected her residence.

And then--

"The seat of the Shudrak patriarch, I ceded to my sister Tarita." I'll do my duty now. "

That's why I stroked my right foot, which had lost its lap, and declared that it would take over the role.
