Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

Slowly, not so much pastoral, the horse-drawn carriage continues down the street.

Swaying the huge chestnut hair, the wind horse carefully escorted the carriages carrying Subaru with its tough figure and delicate backing.

"As expected, Lady Lady... there's only Mr. Zikl's love horse"

Looking at the appearance of a refreshing typhoon horse, Subaru looked at his master and said so.

The name of Zikl's horse was "Lady" ---a word that means lady and a near-pin that only surprised me that it was the power of the fate of "Lover".

Anyway, thanks to Lady's efforts, the journey to the Demon Capital Chaos Frame is happily digesting the itinerary. If things go smoothly, we can expect to arrive in about four days.

"That said, it's not just about arriving." The reputation of the Nine Divine Generals that I was going to meet, but in the first place, it sounded like a magic city. "

"The Magic Capital" is a city that bears the name of a demon. I don't think it's going to be much of a rope.

I've heard of salad bowls from a wide variety of races, but is that the only way to be treated as a resounding city that bears the names "Chaos" and "Magic"?

There is only the impression that Subaru's consciousness of crisis is appealed to, including the fact that the "Nine Divine Generals" who are constantly rebelling are ruling. --That's why I didn't let Lem go with me.

"What kind of chaos awaits me..."

"Even if it sounds like chaos, my head is still confused." That outfit and the brothers I know don't really overlap, and it's like a bug. "

"Ah? Are you still saying that?"

Looking out the window at the wide carriage front seat and the lightly running Lady's back, Subaru gently stroked her long black hair in the wind as she looked back.

Al was sitting at the rear of the carriage with his jaw raised in awe.

Al, occupying the three-seater seat in a sloppy posture, hooked his finger to the chin of the helmet, and turned his face downward.

"That's definitely on purpose."

And Svalbard's behavior sounded bitter and blurred.

With such a strong sense of rejection, Subaru shrugged his shoulders as he remembered his surprise. Unsurprisingly, Al came to Subaru's women's costume about next to Lem's.

After accepting Abel and Shudrak, O'Connell's siblings and Zikl once, they gave me a natural flow, but I kept saying it was stinging.

”You're complaining with the same tongue that you said you would support me... all those strange exchanges were lies?”

"It's not a lie, and the decision to lend a hand to my brother is real, but it's a different story." Why is it that the cooperation system and Equal are not favorable to my brother's costume? "

If you are an ally, please accept me as I am for the time being.

"Is it okay to pretend to be brothers as they are?" Seriously? "

When I was told to do so, Svalbard felt that it was ominous.

Natsuki Subaru and Natsumi Schwartz - The two names of the flesh are common, but there is a clear difference between the way they are and the way they stand.

To put it simply, Natsuki Subaru is the ideal image of herself with her feet on the ground, and Natsuki Schwartz is depicted as fluffy.

"Of course, I don't want to be a woman." It's about confidence. "

I didn't hear that!

While being challenged out loud, Subaru looks down at his body and changes his perception.

Currently, Natsumi Schwartz is reproduced by wigs and makeup, but unlike when she was posing as a dancer, the role she is expected to play in the future is more intelligent.

Therefore, the costumes and makeup were also put together in a direction that matched the impression.

The outfit with the collar in red is a similar design based on what was worn by Zikl, an officer uniform of the Volakian Empire. Emphasizing the ease of movement, I am proud that the cloak is not worn except in necessary situations, but it is quite flattering.

Trousers underneath, stuck boots underfoot, and a military hat with birds' feathers decorating the head.

This is the complete view of the [Female Soldier] Natsumi Schwartz.

"Well, I guess a female military teacher is more close to a female soldier than a female military teacher." When it comes to women in uniform, you promised to wear a masculine costume, right? "

"The brothers in women's clothes are men's clothes, and even if you look at them literally, my chaos will deepen."

"I want to avoid being too evil, so it's an imperial summary." It's a masculine outfit, so I was a little impressed by Mr. Krush's taste. ”

"Well, I don't know if the duke would be too happy to get hints from the encounters so far... I wonder if this is just me thinking it's strange." How about the Emperor? "

Al lifted his hand and put his right arm on Subaru to explain the concept. As he did so, Al turned his raised right arm toward the front and pointed the water at the figure in the front seat.

The seat in the carriage, in other words, the position where Subaru and Al were sandwiched in the conversation, was Abel staring out the window with a steep expression.

He seemed to be thinking about something with a difficult face. He shook his eyebrows at Al's inadvertent call and said coldly "clown" without turning around.

"I don't remember forgiving you for calling me that." I know that inadvertent words will shake the Empire's survival. Otherwise, we won't just lose the other arm. "

"Ugh, please don't do this." I'm used to it, but the inconvenience is inconvenient. If we run out of one more bottle, it won't be an inconvenience anymore. "

Well, then, that's a good thing to say.

"Hehehe, the imperial style is not funny." It's hard for a comedian like us. Hey, brother. "

"I don't want to be asked for consent."

I don't know what to do with the tingling air that doesn't make sense of jokes and light words, but I don't think Subaru will be willing to criticize the Empire for saying that it's a matter of national character.

At best, I personally recognize Abel as a difficult person to get along with. Since the answer itself was mild, it was a dissatisfaction that I had never felt on the surface.

Of course, when you touch on the issue of creeds and values, it doesn't stop there.

So, what do you think of Abel, dressed like a brother?

――――

For a moment, Abel's eyebrows wrinkled between his new name.

Although Subaru was so frightened by the way Al had filled the distance, Abel snorted his nose in disrespect after a lot of silence.

Is it better to be called "Emperor" than to be called "Emperor"? Not knowing Abel's whereabouts, Subaru sighed with a sigh of inner joy.

In the meantime, Abel gazed toward Subaru to answer Al's question again.

"It's certainly a ridiculous dress, but I won't say it anyway if it comes to fruition." Ability should be considered in isolation from hobbies and preferences. "

"Don't shoot from your back to make it look like you're following me." It's not a hobby, it's a hobby. You think I like to dress like a woman? "

――――

"Don't shut up!"

Deeply silenced, the suspicions placed on Subaru became unjustly dark.

Of course, it was a surprising recognition for Subaru. If you don't have to, Subaru doesn't want to be a woman.

However, if there is only a small chance that you can break the situation, you can't take off your women's outfit as an option. It was just that.

"He's always... well armed with theory, but listen to me."

"You said you were theoretically armed." Well, it's a promise, isn't it? The emperor who was chased back from the throne recruits allies to reclaim it... if you like that taste, it's only natural to have a mysterious woman to follow. "

"Oh, that's right. Heroine who appears in such positions as an army master, a wizard, and so on... it's not heroine!"

"Say it yourself and be angry with yourself." Anyway, I'm sure everyone will be surprised. "

Svalbard was indignant, but his intentions could not be understood except by his hometown, Al.

In the first place, it was a syntax that was often inaccessible even in my hometown. Even before that, I had thought that Al's knowledge was quite close to Subaru's.

"...... I've never heard of it being flown from a certain era, but I've never heard of it digging deeper."

So far, Svalbard has shared information with Al's hometown, but he hasn't told us when they were sent to each other.

Before, I heard that Al had been summoned to another world nearly twenty years ago.

So I had terrible eyes, and I also had a grief like losing one arm.

The confession itself was frivolous, but the reality could not have floated like that.

Al's constant misery and despair must have kept him going on and on. A man who has suffered more from the harshness of another world than himself, Al.

Speaking of which, I realized how blessed I was compared to him.

At the same time, it would be troublesome to know what was different between myself and Al.

Because I was afraid of that, Subaru never tried to have a deep conversation with Al. Al didn't even try to step in any further.

However, considering the language used and the subcarneta connected, the original world in which Subaru and Al lived was of the same age - if the summoning was twenty years ago, the age at that time should be the same age.

The difference in age between Subaru and Al was only determined by the time of the other world summoned. That's why the wavelength of the conversation fits with him, even if there is an age difference.

--I felt it was touching him, and the vague throbbing was thought to be the cause.

"I don't want to make a promise."

Huh?

"A suspicious wizard beside the Emperor..." I promised you, didn't I? How about that place? "

Al's gentle mouth drew Subaru back to reality as his thoughts deviated from the sideways.

Svalbard nodded to the word he had promised.

"Sure, I promise." A demonic female wizard entangles the emperor and slowly turns him into a doll of his own volition... and the prosperous country collapses. "

"Don't let me collapse on my own." No matter what, I'll get it back. Just- "

Just?

I wasn't a wizard or a woman, but it was true that there was something called a 'star chant'.

― Star chanting?

Subaru and Al's questioning voice echoed in the words spoken from Abel's mouth.

It's a word I've never heard of, but it's strange.

It's a word I've never heard of, but strangely, I found a way to read it in my head. When the lettering is applied, the role comes to mind vaguely.

Could it be that you're in the position of a feng shui master or something like that... astrologer?

"It's more like a prophet, isn't it?" Even in the kingdom, the stone slate was the role. "

"Ahh, something like 'Dragon History Stone'..."

Convinced by Al's words, Subaru pulls out the knowledge of the prophecy board passed down to the kingdom.

I haven't seen the real thing, but I hear that the tablet describes the future events that will visit the Lugnica Kingdom, and it is a convenient artifact that also shows how to solve the problem.

However, in anticipation of the death of the Lugnica royalty, the tablet presented the next king's choice as a cure - that is, the content of the election in which Emilia and Priscilla would participate.

Honestly, it is the result of leaning your neck to the story of a thankful prophecy board.

"If you really want to give advice to save the kingdom, I'll tell you how to cure and stop the disease in the first place..."

As I deepened my understanding as a knight of the king's candidate, it seems that the Lugnica royalty was at least a royalty loved by the people, without any exclusive behavior or foolishness.

And many of the princes and the king's people grieved for their death, and none rejoiced. --Why did [Dragon History Stone] abandon them? It's still wrapped in mystery.

”If the opponent is not a stone board, it would be a dream to have a matching answer.”

"If the opponent is a stone tablet, it's different from the [Star Chanting], isn't it?" What was his role in the palace, Abel-chan? "

"- It's not far from your perception. Because the power of" Star Chanting "was to look at tomorrow to maintain the empire."

Abel's answer to the inquiry was roughly the same as the impression that could be felt from the name of [Star Chanting]. Nonetheless, if there is a problem, there is one.

"... but you're not predictable." You're being kicked out. "

“I told you. The power of [Star Chanting] is to maintain the Empire. --That doesn't necessarily mean I'm safe and sound."

”That means... it would be better for the Empire if you were pursued”

At least that's what the [Star Chanting] judged me to be.

Abel quietly put his arms together as he replied softly.

It is a situation where things with similar roles such as stone slabs and "Star Chanting" overlook the predicament of what is supposed to be the most noble position of each country.

With the kingdom and the Empire, I want to suspect some kind of connection.

"Before that, I felt like I had a problem with you being cursed by the Chancellor, your right arm and the Prophet." Are you sure you want to return to the Emperor's throne? "

"Hey, that's too straight, bro."

No, I don't think I'd be worried if I heard about the situation around here!?

But that's it. General Afro admitted to Abel.

"Oh, I see. Then it's okay..."

General Afro is named Zikl, and Subaru is quietly convinced.

I was worried about Zikl, but I was relieved that he was on Abel's side. On the other hand, it was very doubtful that Abel would have been able to hang out without Zikl.

It doesn't matter what happens to the Empire, no matter how much you and Lem do to get back to the Kingdom safely.

To be honest, there are a lot more bad memories in the empire than good memories, but there are many people who want to be happy with everyone in "The People of Shudrak", the brothers and sisters of O'Connell.

"I've become a lot more anxious to include you there..."

"Whatever you say, and whatever the 'Star Chanting' sees tomorrow, my answer is decided."

――――

"Even if [Star Chanting] decides not to leave me on the throne, I won't be able to obey." If the [Star Chanting] chants that I am destroying the Empire, I will only overthrow it with my own hands. "

Abel's declarations were pale, but with a lot of heat.

Many times it is as hot as when you say you will reclaim your throne. That would be Abel's unacceptable line, and his unshakeable heart.

It feels like it's not just revenge or rebellion, but bigger and purer beliefs, so Subaru doesn't have to doubt Abel at the end.

Other than that, I want you to decorate the surrounding area and trust me.

"--Oh! Guys! Just a moment, look forward!"

Yeah?

Just at the moment when the conversation was over, a powerful voice suddenly arrived in front of the carriage - from the shogun's platform - and the attention of the Subaru and the others turned to you.

Lady's reins are gripped by a medium voice on the podium.

It seems that when travelling alone with Flop, she didn't let me hold the reins, and she took the initiative from herself to "I want to do it!" "I bought the giver and came out.

The medium with its slender length in the stand, gripping the reins in one hand, and pointing at the end of the path with the other hand,

"I can see you messing around in front of me!" Do you see Natumi-chan too? "

"Um... I think it looks more like a bean grain than a bean grain."

I try to get out of the carriage window, but I'm not sure I can say "wacky" in the medium. Angle problems, or simply vision problems.

I thought Subaru had a good eye, but in another world, it was too.

The goodness of the eyes of people from other worlds is different in different dimensions. Maybe Emilia has about 5.0 vision. Even in the original world, I feel that Africans have seen a show with extraordinary vision.

From that point of view, I can expect Tarrita's vision, one of the Amazonesses of the Otherworld.

So, what does Mr. Talitta look like?

"Wait, wait, wait, wait..."

Tarrita, who answers Subaru's call, is neither in the carriage nor on the stands.

Svalbard stepped out of the window and called out on the carriage wherever it was. Located on the roof of a running carriage, Tarrita served as a vigilante for all directions from there.

I'm the only one who can't rest easy when people are on the roof?

"I don't know about Abel, but I'm used to my Garfeel."

Al mentions Tarrita working on a carriage, but Svalbard, who is familiar with Garfiel, who has the same role, is not particularly uncomfortable with it.

Seriously enough, vigilance is indispensable in other worlds, so it will also have a decent effect on more than just two diseases. Abel couldn't stop it.

"... it looks like the Imperial Army is gathering." It looks like the bulldozer is stopping in front of you. "

"That's..."

"-Checkpoint."

Abel muttered in response to Tarrita's report.

The checkpoint and the passage through Subaru's mind was at the main gate of Guaral. However, it is caught that the checks are not carried out at the entrance of the city, but on the way to the street.

Although it is natural to check the entrance and exit of the city, the impression is that the checks carried out on the streets are somehow unusual.

Early on, it's likely they're looking for something specific.

No way? We escaped to Arachia, and that's how it spread?

"Of course, eventually, we can't avoid the leakage of nephews from Arachia." But I don't think it can move this quickly and accurately. In addition, the Demon City is the opposite direction from the Imperial City. "

In terms of location, can't you report it?

That's right. However, there's a problem with your family.

With her arms crossed, Abel is concerned about her companion, not Arachia.

Arachia's companion is the one who took her out of Guaral.

"You're the one who pulled Lady Arachia." It's like he's daring to get into the middle of an enemy field in that situation, and there's a line between the two. "

"Shredder..."

Abel's concerns and Al's points make Subaru uncomfortable with them.

If we limit ourselves to the Imperial soldiers who were in that citadel, Subaru has a clue about the Shredder. And for Subaru, the subject of fear was not found among the surrendered Imperial soldiers after the fall of the City Hall.

Probably because of the soldiers who abandoned the city and fled.

No way, no way.

I don't want to think it was that guy who took Arachia out no matter what.

I'm sorry to hear that it's going to get deeper everywhere.

"- Now I'm concentrating on the problem in front of me. What do we do? Are we going to make a detour?"

"I don't think I've noticed yet..."

Medium and Tarrita, both of them with excellent eyesight, were the first to find it.

If the soldiers on the other side of the road hadn't noticed us, they could've gotten off the street and dodged the checkpoints. If you don't have a painful stomach after exploration, you will pass gracefully, but if you have a painful stomach before exploration, you have no choice but to evade.

But--

"- Wait, don't take a detour."

Ah?

And just before I instructed him to go off the street, Abel, the only one left, waited.

In response to the call to stop, Subaru turns to Abel with a disoriented eye.

"Don't take a detour, what are you going to do?" If I find you, it's gonna be tough. "

"I want to know what they're up to." I was moving too fast when it came to Guaral's fall. If it's where I am, I want to find out what the soldiers are looking for. ”

"I wonder... what will you do if you're found." It's like poking a beehive, and you're going to get into a furious car chase. "

Of course, it is also assumed that the pattern will be a rope on the spot.

Of the five carriages, only three, excluding Subaru and Abel, could fight, but their total strength was not much different from that of the dancers who had boarded Guaral. If you break into a carriage-running escape drama, it's hard to scatter enemies on a wide street.

“The conditions are too bad. Or do you have something good to do?"

"Yes, it is. It is you."

Huh?

Subaru is surprised to think that the risk and return are bad because they put it on the balance.

We were just talking about the chances of winning a dangerous bet.

"What do you mean, I'm coming out there?"

"There is already a precedent in the citadel city." The carriage was disguised as an army thing. It will be as agreed in advance. "

But that's for the public on the road!?

Abel said it was a setup to talk to other pedestrians and travelers on the road, not a prerequisite to misleading Imperial soldiers.

But Abel did not hearken to Subaru's screaming complaint.

"I hide at the bottom of the carriage." You have to break the soldiers' mouths. "

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

"Don't let the soldiers peek at the bottom of the carriage." Your life will be spared. "

"I don't know why you look so great...!"

Abel stands up from his seat and puts his hand on the floor. There is a slight gap in the floor under the seat, and it is a mechanism to descend from the folding floorboard to the bottom space of the carriage.

It was originally a horse-drawn carriage by Zikl's two generals.

It has replaced its exterior and disguised it as if it belonged to the Imperial army, but it did not seal off its function. The carriage, which is assumed to be used by high-ranking people, is equipped with a mechanism for the floorboards to come off in case of an emergency.

It would have been unimaginable for a horse-drawn carriage maker to be the emperor.

Anyway, as soon as she rolled up the floorboard, Abel twisted her thin body into the narrow space. It seemed that I was going to leave it to Subaru for the rest of my life.

More arrogant than courageous.

"Oh dear, Abel-chan is also imposing." That said, I have no choice but to do it, brother. "

Just say what you want to say, and Al's comments to Abel retracted quickly. His words afterwards were based on the reaction of the checkpoint on the carriage's route.

Looks like they've uncovered our presence over there.

Natsumi, I noticed our presence there too.

"Well then, it seems like you have no choice but to go!" Alright, good luck, Nutmeg-chan! "

Politely, the taritta and medium horn eliminated the option of detour. If you change direction here, it is like advertising that it is "inconvenient to be inspected for carriages".

Therefore, we have no choice but to proceed according to His Majesty's wishes.

"Brother, are you ready?"

"- Yeah, yeah, I get it! Nice to meet you!"

"...... don't switch to it."

Gently slapping her cheeks with both hands, Subaru flips the switch inside himself.

My makeup breaks when I hit my cheek hard. If you try to scratch your head, your hair will be disturbed. Words are rough without shelving their inner frustration. - Then we won't be able to entangle the Imperial Guard.

Play the required role and fulfill the expected role.

That's the first step to regaining Natsuki Subaru's lost trust.

"Oh, everyone in the army, thank you for your hard work." What can I do for you? ”

And as the Imperial soldiers stopped the carriage, Subaru, who stepped out of the window, smiled pathetically and charmingly, and waved his hand calmly.

△▼△▼△▼△

― ― The Imperial soldiers who stopped the carriage did not take seriously the existence of the carriage that only Al was carrying, in addition to the three [women] of Medium, Tarita, and Subaru.

What is asked is the identity of the party and the purpose of the journey.

As we discussed in advance, Al and Medium were hired to escort Subaru, a junior uncle's daughter, and Tarrita is a servant with Subaru.

Before Guaral's departure, Tarrita's fashion was tried and tested, and changed from the Amazonese style that can be seen as the "people of Shudrak" at a glance.

Currently, Tarita's outfit is a butler-style masculine outfit because of Subaru's preference, and Al admires that "my brother is a masculine outfit and Tarita is a masculine outfit... I don't know anymore".

Regardless, the Imperial Guard at the checkpoint didn't suspect the Subaru's men.

However, only when I told them that the destination was a chaos frame, I showed a deep sense of care, "That's...", but even among them, the impression of the Magic City seemed bad.

I don't really recommend going to the Demon City, miss.

"Even if you say that, my father will be angry with me." Even though you're a nobleman, you can't say anything extravagant about your junior uncle's lineage. ”

Hmmm, I see. Well, don't worry, your daughter seems to have a good procedure.

Oh, you're good at that, aren't you?

Smiling at the back of his hand, Subaru elegantly evades the suspicions of his soldiers.

I don't think there's a problem breaking through the checkpoints.

"Nevertheless, it's a lot of fun, but... did something happen?"

"No, it's not a big deal." There was a skirmish near Badheim in the north recently, and we're looking for deserters.... and I'm looking for the wanted man. "

Arrange for nomination, is that it?

To the sound of it, Subaru frowned while being careful not to let his voice rustle.

Fortunately, the soldier nodded, "Oh," unaware of Subaru's wavy heart.

"There is a story that a man wanted in the Imperial City has been witnessed around here." I'm talking about a blue-haired man about fifty years old, but what do you think? "

"- No, I'm sorry. However, I am worried that the deserters from the sophisticated Imperial soldiers are disturbing the winds of the Empire.”

"It's all right, Nutchan!" We're here, and we don't need to worry! Let's get your chest up! "

"Well, it's comforting for a medium-sized person." Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. "

I didn't aim for it, but the Imperial Guard got along just fine with a medium sized swipe.

It was possible that I could be suspicious of you, but I was able to avoid that concern. Tarrita is also silent and plays the deacon who does not suddenly block the word of the Lord.

In her case, the silence may be silent because of her asthenia.

And apart from the female formation, the most disturbing is the suspicious body of Al--

"No, no, thank you to all the soldiers." It's thanks to your hard work that half-hearted people like me are allowed to work hard. "

"... we are only working for the sake of the Empire's peace." It's definitely not for someone as weak as you. "

"I know, I know." I know where I stand. "

Al also did a perfect job on the rude moves that were underestimated by the Imperial Guard.

It was difficult to judge whether it was vegetarian or acting, but the procedure was good. The unnaturalness of hiring Al as an escort for the ship's arm was crushed by Subaru beforehand.

"If you hired me as an escort, you wouldn't look good without such a name, would you?" Her arm must have been one of the soldiers who worked for your country before. "

"... if you quit your job because you were injured, there's nothing we can say. However, it doesn't mean that there is no evil heart, so be very careful."

Treat Al's arm as strong rather than weak, and reinforce the rationale for a mild attitude.

Imperial soldiers who hated weakness and respected the powerful also had consideration for those who withdrew from the front line due to unhealing wounds.

--Also, the checkpoint was overcome without major problems.

"Nah, Nutchan, that's a good idea." I'm so impressed! "

Medium praises Imperial soldiers far away as they wave their hands from the podium. In response to her words, Subaru shook his head sideways, saying, "No, no, no."

"I'm not a big deal." If we had been holding checkpoints for more pressing reasons, we would have had to use all sorts of skillful maneuvers to get through it... in that sense, we would have all been lucky. "

"Yes? If so, yes." I'm often told I'm lucky, too! I feel that way, too. "

”Fufu, medium and flops are geniuses looking for happiness, aren't they?”

While putting his hand on his cheek, Subaru smiled at the medium pleasant answer.

Tarrita, who was exhausted at the front seat of the carriage, looked back at the exchange between Subaru and Medium. The tension was relieved, her deep gaze stroking her chest in relief, and Subaru leaned his neck.

"What's the matter, Mr. Talitta?" Is there a problem? "

"Yees, there's no problem... natsumiha, how can you be so grandiose?" When I was planning to get on board as a dancer, I thought, "La ta.

"... yes, that's right."

Taritta's feelings are hard to get used to when it comes to how a woman dressed in Subaru looks like.

That's when I stepped into Guaral, and it was Tarrita who had long been dressed up alongside Abel. Still, she seems strange to me.

In a sense, Abel and Flop, who left without a switch - Bianca and Flora - have broken through all kinds of problems with their natural beauty.

Of course, Natsumi Schwartz, dressed as Svalbard, didn't have that much foundation.

The quality of clothing and cosmetics alone cannot be misled is a problem that must be born to those who cannot bear it. --To fill it, we need to make an effort.

“That's why I worked so hard.”

The degree of completion of Nutmi Schwartz is one of the fruits of the search for beauty that mankind has built up.

If it hadn't been for the pioneers, it wouldn't even be a good substitute for Svalbard women's costumes. There were many ancestors' wishes and efforts to bring it to fruition.

Because of this, there is also the awareness that what is established cannot be inferred indefinitely.

"... I'm confident, ha, I envy you. I don't want to cum like that."

"Confidence is... what I have is trust in Nutmi Schwartz, and it's something else than confidence."

Eh? Eh? Eh?

"Hey, brother, stop it." You're confused, Tarrita. At this level of thought, why don't you follow me a bit? "

Instead of the black-and-white-eyed Tarrita, Al gave Subaru the time he had been waiting for.

I didn't realize that they were talking so hard that they were confused. It's just that even though it's hard to believe in yourself, you can still believe in the ideals you've created.

“I always imagine myself to be the best -”

"Wah, now I know it's a tricky way of thinking..."

"But I'll recommend it as a mindset." Compared to the way I admire myself, it is painful... but the ideal self is what I can imagine. "

――――

With her hands on her chest, Tarrita stared gently at Subaru, who spoke like that.

Something seemed to resonate with her.

"Ideal self, imagination le..."

And it's so quiet that they think it's holding me to my chest.

"Sure enough, anyway, what did the deserter do to the man they were after?" Even if Abel's story didn't spread, it would be very helpful, but it was quite a big deal. "

"Now... there are a lot of blue-haired men about fifty years old who fit that characteristic, and there are people who can think of my memories, right?"

Although it is blue hair that does not occur naturally in the original world, it seems that it is not as unusual as the head of a rem in this other world.

Both the suspects at the earlier checkpoint and, for example, the mercenary named Rowan, who had a hand in Guaral, fitted the characteristics.

Unfortunately, Todd's ambush ended Rowan's talent show, but Subaru thought that if he could fight properly, he would have been quite powerful.

That said, I don't think you're asking for a lot of Imperial soldiers. Therefore, it must have been said that someone with similar characteristics was being pursued.

"In any case, Abel's situation hasn't been passed on to the regular soldiers yet... it looks like the Shadow Warrior is acting for the Emperor without the chaos in the Imperial City."

"I'm talking about whether it's good or bad." Honestly, I think it would have been more convenient for us if the emperor hadn't been around. "

"I feel like it's going to be short and long. It doesn't matter what they do if they find out, but it doesn't change how hard it is to find Abel.”

If the absence of the Emperor becomes public and the Empire is in chaos, it is unknown whether the Subaru will be able to handle it well. At the very least, it was Abel's perception that he still lacked the strength to make a name for himself, and Subaru was probably of the same opinion.

In the meantime, I was told to leave the checkpoint and I was very upset.

In the meantime, I'll let Abel out.

Right, and I'd like to complain about it.

Nodding to Al's suggestion, Subaru clasped his arms and insisted on the double hills of creation, revealing his indignation.

The cause of Subaru's indignation was, of course, Abel's recklessness, which was more than that, in the middle of the checkpoint.

While talking to the soldiers, there was a noise from the bottom of the carriage many times, and it was very difficult to deceive them.

In the end, Svalbard dressed as a "junior uncle is also difficult..." and settled with a belly worm, but it was an outrage that damaged the reputation of elegant Natsumi Schwartz.

Your Majesty has revealed that you are not fully aware of your position.

"Oh, brother, I'm not mad." Well, I think I could get mad at you for that as well. "

Al agreed with Subaru, who was enthusiastic enough to complain to the reckless Emperor.

And so, as Al turned the floorboards and slammed his face into a grudge, Subaru peered into the bottom of the swaying carriage-

"Hey, Abel, what do you mean?" How hard it was for us to deceive you by imitating you like that. "

Ugh!

UHHHHHHHHHHH!?

Thinking of it, this screamed bitterly, and Subaru flew away into Tarrita's arms. The princess is held by Tarrita, but I can't afford to praise her for the quality of her trunk.

It was not Abel with a broken face and a laugh, but a young girl with blond hair.

The girl is full of familiarity and wicked memories.

It shouldn't be a girl, Louis.

Louis Arneb, an irregular representative of the Empire, burst out cheerfully from under the floor.

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I..."

Ah, huh?

"Why! Why are you in this carriage..."

"--Apparently, it was lurking under the floor." By the way, no one has noticed so far. It's probably the work of the Utakata clan. "

Subaru's eyes were black and white, and his voice trembled. It was Abel who took up Subaru's question and followed Louis from the bottom.

He smashes the dust of a dirty inn and brings a big mess of black hair to life. Then, I saw Louis snagging at Subaru, who was still held up by Tarrita.

"Hmm. It looks like I missed you a lot." It means that I chose to be with you more than I chose to be with you or your girlfriend. "

"W-what the hell... were you doing okay under the floor together?"

"Is it supposed to be okay?" I was unnecessarily rampaged at the bottom, and even my liver was chilled. I wonder why her daughter was noticed by the soldiers and what she missed. "

Closing the floorboard, Abel's words returning to his seat converged in Subaru.

While the Imperial soldiers were examining the carriage, Subaru's fuss seemed to have been diverted from her heart, and it seemed that Louis was the only one who could have caused it.

Perhaps Louis, who was hiding at the bottom of the carriage, followed Abel as he came down to hide. It is unclear what kind of apology Abel had, but it seems that he does not have the talent to apologize for his children.

"Then what can you do...?"

"You've been telling me dishonorable stories, but what are you going to do about it?"

"What are you going to do..."

"I'm telling you, I can't turn back now." That checkpoint won't allow you to do that for hours. "

Well, that's exactly what Abel said, isn't it?

While touching the seam of the helmet she was wearing, Al nodded to Abel's words.

Meanwhile, Svalbard asked Tarita to lower herself to the floor, holding Louie's forehead as she smiled at her.

"Why is this happening..."

Confusion and bewilderment are swirling in my head.

On the other hand, the relief sprouted by the presence of Louis here - some of them thought that they had completed without leaving this anxiety element beside the rem left in Guaral.

Of course, Louis' vigilance about what he was up to would never diminish even after Svalbard came along.

"Svalbard, there's nothing you can do. Louis will take you like this."

Are you going to say that to Mr. Talitta?

"Abel said, Li, don't turn back now." So, you can't even leave Louis behind. I know that you and Louis have a complicated relationship..... "

――――

Looking at Svalbard and Louis' faces alternately, Tarrita gives a slightly neutral opinion.

In addition to infiltrating Guaral, we also spent some time together in the settlement of "The People of Shudrak". Most of Shudrak, if not as much as Lem, knows Subaru's vigilance, hostility, and presence towards Louis.

With that in mind, Tarrita says she has no choice but to leave Louis behind.

And unfortunately, Subaru agreed with me.

"I can't leave this alone and bother people who don't know anything..."

Huh?

Louis leaned his neck and had no idea what he was talking about.

Currently, since being sent to Volakia, Louis has never shown his face as a major sin bishop of that vicious [bulimia]. However, that doesn't mean that it won't happen again, and I think Subaru is responsible for the damage that happens when its true nature appears.

Subaru had countless opportunities to be convinced that she was a danger and to prevent a lot of damage from happening.

That's why you can strangle her at this moment and cut off the future.

That alone will cause many seeds of anxiety to wither without budding.

And yet...

――――

"Oh my God... I don't know about that, but this girl misses her brother, right?" I can see that it might be a problem from now on, but let's also think about how to use it. "

"Al..."

While saying that, Al tries to help Subaru's troubled decision.

He stepped casually on the carriage floor and walked over to Louis, who stood beside Subaru. Then, I tried to gently stroke the girl's blonde head,

"If you have one child, it may be easy to turn a blind eye even if you have a similar checkpoint. Unexpectedly, the trip with the kids is also bad... it hurts!"

Huh!

Al's hand was about to stroke his head, and Louis suddenly peeled his fangs.

Louis, who opened his mouth, bit Al's extended hand. Al, who was screaming, pulled back, and Louis hid behind Subaru as he roared like a beast.

It was an ungrateful act of biting a nostalgic wildcat who tried to feed him.

"Wow, that fucking hurts!" I lost trying to follow you! "

"No, you did it...!" After all, that's how you devour others! "

"Ugh! Ahh! Ahhh!"

Ah, I don't know!

Louis was clinging to Subaru's waist and shaking his head. Svalbard struggles to tear it off, but the corset is too tight to hold on well.

Fortunately, Subaru knew who Al was, and he didn't lose sight of himself because he was deprived of his [name]. However, from now on, we will confirm the damage.

"--Calm down and come!!"

”Hyaangh!?”

Huh!?

When Svalbard and Al and the two of them became noisy, Louis began to scream as if he had a scream.

It was Tarrita who broke in with a loud voice to block it.

She put her hand on Louie's side and hugged the girl. She shot Subaru and Al straight out with eyes that resembled her sister's.

"A grown-up adult is disgraceful to a child!" Please behave as a calm adult. The little girl imitates me. "

"Uu, ku...... but, Tarita-san, that girl......"

"But don't be silly, Suzumi. I know the relationship between you and this child is complicated. Even so, what are you going to do if you make a fuss with me?"

It was reprimanded from the front, and its simple content best responded to Subaru.

If a child is told not to grow up, how many can beat that righteousness? However, it is the Bishop of Major Sin who does not understand such a cute reason.

Knowing the dangers of Louis Arneb, I'm sure Tarrita will agree with you--

― ― Well, you can tell everyone who Louis is right here.

――――

Inside my chest, my throat was stuffed with the deep black emotions echoing from there.

As a result, Tarrita and Al reacted to Subaru's tightened cheeks.

In the end, it was all a matter of Subaru's ambiguous decisiveness.

In order for Subaru to understand Louis' vigilance, he had to reveal the fact that Louis was a major sin bishop of [bulimia]. Unlike Rem, who lost his vigilance towards the Witchcraft Church along with [Memory], the threat should be transmitted to the face of this place.

If they knew the gravity of the matter, they would stop treating Louis as if he were a child. And to get rid of disturbing molecules.

What do you do to get rid of it?

――――

Huh?

Louis leans his head toward Subaru's gaze as he is held by Tarrita.

If Subaru and Al stop making noise, Louis will calm down in the same way. As we've seen, Louis makes noise when he's around her.

If the surroundings were calm, Louis wouldn't make a scene on his own. It's because she's an exceptionally calm girl.

Could it also be that Louis Arneb's appearance is a mimicry to blend in with his surroundings?

The white world that arrived in the Pleiades watchtower, the vicious and unhelpful evil girl that met Subaru in that place, is that what it was?

I know we should deal with it, but...

"--I 'll tell you what, our purpose is not to have fun, it's not to have fun."

Even so, Abel, who was sitting in his seat alone, beside the distressed Subaru, spoke coldly.

For a moment, Subaru could not understand the true meaning of his words, but soon understood that it was Abel's opinion of Louis' treatment.

Abel says this journey is not a game. As soon as she finished speaking, Subaru took a breath of coldness as she peered into Louis' black eyes.

Abel's eyes, looking at Louis, did not feel any heat.

It's a sign that Abel hasn't taken it back, that he hasn't found any value in giving Louis any consideration or warmth, and that he hasn't distinguished himself from the stones and wildflowers on the roadside.

The heat of that pupil made Subaru understand the consequences of revealing Louis' identity.

― ― I'm going to take you there.

――――

Immediately after the decision was made, Louis' black eyes turned toward Subaru. The sharpness of his gaze could be felt in his chest, but Subaru bit his back teeth and pushed him unconsciously.

“Show us what we can do more for than just a fun trip.... that's what it is, isn't it?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter. -You 'd say that."

"... it's difficult to interpret."

I can't tell whether that means disappointment or other emotions.

Of course, Abel did not try to reveal his true intentions, and he was afraid that steaming Subaru would lead to a different conclusion.

"Hey, are we done here?" When you're done, come over here too, Louie! "

"... is that okay?"

Feeling the tense air between Subaru and Abel, Tarrita asks for permission to respond to the medium voice coming from the stand.

Although Abel had already decided to take Subaru with him, he didn't want to take Louis' hand, so he decided to spoil their generosity.

"All right, Louie, hold the reins?" Lady Chin, let's try to manipulate it! "

Ugh!

"Let's not do that!"

Louis seemed to be welcomed by the two women as the gentleman's platform became more noisy.

Since Subaru was the only one who was strictly alert to Louis, there was nothing unexpected about their reaction. Strongly put, Louis is gone, and Lem, who remains in Guaral, is in a hurry to find him.

"I don't think that girl could have dived into the carriage by herself. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll reveal it to you.”

"... that's right."

Perhaps she understood the anxiety from Subaru's expression, and Abel solved it coldly.

He's right, if Utakata helped Louis hide out, that information could be shared with the city's Rems.

With Subaru and Louis together, I wondered if that would help Lem's anxiety.

"I don't know where you are or which one you think is better..."

"--If that's the case, it would be more reassuring to have a brother with you." It sounded complicated when I talked about Talita-chan. "

Al's words made Subaru feel complicated.

The relationship between Subaru, Rem, and Louis wasn't that easy.

"... but I see."

Thinking of Lem behind her eyelids, Subaru finds an excuse in himself.

Regardless of Louis' background, Lem would be worried about the girl. Either way, if we look at the plane and tell them the truth, without Louis, we're going to lose one hand.

That's why we need Louis to be safe.

"Brother?"

"No, nothing... nothing." Al, do you a favor. ― ― Please pay as much attention to Louis as possible.

"... if that's the way you asked me to go mad, why?" What's going on with that chick? "

I heard that Al didn't like Louis when he was bitten by his hand. I responded to Subaru's request with a disgusting voice, and I asked her what she meant.

Naturally, for a moment, Subaru hesitated to reply.

Al will believe in Louis' identity more than anyone else.

However, if Louis finds out that he is the Bishop of Major Sins, how will Al act? Understand the dangers and become a consultant with the same concerns as Subaru.

"--If she gets hurt, Lem will suffer." Please, please. "

――――

Instantly, Subaru was troubled, but just like the other opponents, he lay down his facts.

After hearing Subaru's answer, Al was silent for a moment.

"Yeah, sure. I'm worried I won't eat the rest of my arm, but we'll get along fine there."

In response, Al took the front seat of the carriage to listen to Subaru's request. While listening to the voices of the three daughters who are busy at the stand, they throw their legs sloppily.

It's his way of doing things.

"--What is it?"

Suddenly, looking at Al's back of the head, Subaru noticed Abel's gaze as he looked at himself.

As he folded his arms back into his seat, he frowned slightly unpleasantly, reflecting Subaru in his unreadable black eyes.

That's what makes Svalbard's question sharp, too, a source of great anxiety.

But Abel snorted and said nothing.

"...... I haven't even been thanked for successfully clearing the checkpoint in the first place."

With such frustration at Abel's attitude, Subaru strokes his long black hair and settles down in a seat a little further away from both Al and Abel.

The journey to the Demon Capital Chaos Frame continued as I remembered the anxiety of the future.

However, I heard a pleasant voice coming from the Odori platform, mainly Louis.

“I don't know, I don't know who's to blame.”

And such a stupid word could not reach anyone, and was swallowed by the sound of the carriage running.
