Chapter 7: 35 "Night to Talk"

"Where I was with you, you were such a terrible cousin to me."

At night, Medium said so in his usual manner, surrounding the camp fire.

A medium that is always bright and clear and doesn't know how to hide its voice. That's what her mouth told me about the facility where she and Flop used to be.

Flop also heard that the two grew up in a poor environment.

The brothers and sisters say that they grew up in an institution that takes care of their children and that they are beaten every day. He also said that unfortunate adults were outraged by the world beating up unfortunate children and vowed revenge.

"I can't understand everything you're saying, but I'm not comfortable with it." But I want to support you when you're walking with your chest open. "

“Is that even a vengeance on the world?”.

Yeah! Well, I don't really know how to do it.

A medium scratch like a smile, combing Louis' hair on his lap from behind.

Originally, the reason she was talking about her institution was because of the craftsmanship of dealing with the young man.

Although I said this, it was surprising that the medium with the impression of going through everything in a mess looked at Louis' troubles in a cost-effective manner.

So, when I asked about my familiar tactics, I started talking about them.

"There were other children in the facility besides me and Auntie." Some of the kids were younger than me, and it wasn't much fun, so you want to stretch your hair as long as you can. "

"So, you're good at handling younger people." Medium-san can take good care of you, so I'm satisfied. "

"Uhehe, is that so?" Then I'm glad I can help you. "

Medium, beautiful blonde hair shimmers in the red lights of the fire. Louis had the same hair color, but the two of them were like sisters.

If you put in flora that is not flop, you can say that it is the three sisters of beauty.

"... you can't." Thinking of imposing such a debt on Mr. Flop and Mr. Medium. "

"...... Did you say something, Natumi-chan?"

"No, it's nothing." I just felt like I was really being helped by Medium's presence. ”

Aside from the inappropriate relationship between Brother and Sister O'Connell and Louis, the kind of remarks they spent to deceive are true and without a price tag.

There are many elements that can be helped by the presence of medium-sized people, both militarily and spiritually.

Without Flop and her, Svalbard's Imperial legs would have been even darker.

"In that regard, shouldn't you be more grateful?"

――――

As he narrowed his eyes, Subaru pointed water at Abel, who was on fire.

After finishing dinner, Abel sat silently, unexpectedly not returning to the carriage. However, I don't think that consciousness was suitable for chatting, and Subaru's words are merely sarcasm and sarcasm.

"Medium, where are you and your brother from?"

Huh?

However, even though she didn't agree with Subaru's words, Abel asked Medium.

The content of the question was a snapshot of the flow of the previous conversation.

Surprised, Medium opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth. She was surprised that Abel spoke to her and that she was listening to her story.

"Abel, did you know my name?"

Apparently, that wasn't the only reason for the surprise.

Regardless, Abel exhaled in a small way to the medium that could not beat Al and hurt the emperor's mood.

"I'll remember your name. Don't be so impressive. Answer my question. Where are you and Flop from? What is the representative of the facility?"

"You mean the Dean?" I forgot my name. But Ableek is a tiny town where I and you were together. "

"Avery... it's a town on the west side." I'll remember that. "

"--What should I do to remember?"

"It's a good deal, not even if I do it myself."

Abel's answer was concise, but his sincerity did not make sense in the medium.

Medium, with a question mark, thrusts his head into a bigger cloud of questions. And the unfriendly Abel doesn't bother to unravel the mystery.

Svalbard wasn't able to extract all of that though.

When you hear the voices of the people, are you going to immediately use them in national politics?

"It's not that much of a victory. I told you. --It's an absolute punishment."

The work shall be rewarded, and the foolishness shall be rewarded.

It seems that this is Abel's creed as a politician, and it is a difficult way to move.

In retrospect, even in the "Ritual of Blood and Life" in the settlement of Südrak, he appealed to Subaru, who was on the brink of death, to desperately express his hopes. Behind that desperation lies the same creed.

That is,

"--You 're the one who can't forgive others for being out of hand."

"Many things are born as unbearable things. What you grab in your hand, what you hold and die for, is life itself. You can't just let go while getting that qualification."

It's disgusting to hear from His Majesty that you're born with something you can't hold on to.

It is something most humans cannot bear, and they can only scratch their feet while lamenting their ingenuity and powerlessness. Even though I know that it is life, there is no standing from a privileged position.

But to Subaru, who had received it ironically, Abel did not even look at him.

"--Me and you are no exception."

"--What is it?"

“Positions come with responsibilities. If you shoulder the burden, the fool will fall. Your temperament and enthusiasm can only improve your self-identification every day."

Abel's gaze slowly turned towards me in response to Subaru's response.

And he looked upon Subaru, and upon his black hair, and upon his clothes, as though they were on fire.

"False, made self-identification will eventually expose the bullion. You seem to be quite accustomed to pretending to be yourself, but that means that you'll have to work hard to get rid of it when it comes off."

――――

"As long as I produce results, I won't let other people's hobbies get out of hand." I do not intend to disagree, but I cannot bear to see the fracture as a pillar. Eventually, the foundation will tilt. "

While bathed in the heat and wind, Abel's gaze was as clear as a cold night.

His choice of words is not sensitive to others and he has no leeway to seek understanding. Therefore, the sincerity of the words did not reach Subaru by half.

However, if you are severely and shamelessly abused, the pain will remain.

"... you talked too much. I'll take care of the rest."

With that, Abel stood up and disappeared into the carriage.

With the sound of the thick door closing, only Subaru and Medium were left around the fire, and Louis, who was spending time without knowing the topic.

"... is that the guy?"

With that, Subaru held down his mouth and made a bitter face.

It's as if the Villainous Lady was a loser. An iron-blooded serviceman named Natumi Schwartz is more tough and supple.

The steel heart that Subaru wanted, and the strongest female statue with it.

Natumi-chan, are you all right?

Medium hands gently stroked Subaru's head holding such a struggle.

The medium that moved next to me dexterously with its butt floating. Her palms were long enough to grab the size of Subaru's head.

This big palm is gently soft and wrapped around Subaru's heart.

"Yes, I'm fine." Damn it, that guy was deep in meaning... did you know what Medium wanted to say? "

"Hmm, not at all! But I know that Natumi-chan had a hard look, and that's all I can do."

"That's not true..."

"Don't worry, I know!" I'm in charge of working hard with this big body, and I'll leave things up to everyone like you. "

Medium with a pleasant smile on his face and a stroke of Subaru's head, there is no lie on his face.

Even though she is aware of what she lacks, she does not care about it. Her way of being is very positive, and there is something that connects with the people who admire Subaru.

Medium-san is an adult, isn't he?

"I've never been told that! I've been told that you're a good sister, and that it feels good to eat a lot."

That's also a nice thing about Medium-san, isn't it?

"Up, up, up, up"

Even after all the words, Svalbard can't give thanks and praise. However, Medium is happy to accept such compliments without the contents of Subaru.

Rounding up on her lap, Louis enjoyed the cheerfulness of it.

This moment alone is separated from all misery and anxiety.

It was a calm time, so much so that I had the illusion.

△▼△▼△▼△

Time flows gently as you gaze at the swaying fire.

――――

The world is very quiet with the pop of burning wood chips.

Previously, I hated this kind of shabby time. When I was spending my time blurry, I felt tormented and driven away by an unfamiliar sense of impatience.

I wonder if he thinks that he can be forgiven for spending his time in a daze.

An unidentified black shadow crept up behind her and stuck her shoulders together.

Natsuki Subaru did everything to escape a nightmare that could not be kept away by closing his eyes or his ears.

It is sometimes praised for its flavor and small appliances.

But it was all an excuse to escape responsibility and guilt.

Halibote, which was made up of stacks of excuses, was Natsuki Subaru.

"--You 're relieved that it's not just an excuse."

"T-That's right..."

After listening to Subaru, Tarita nodded as she leaned down.

Beyond the swaying flames, Tarrita's face, standing on one knee on the ground, is lit red. The dim light of the flame looked good on her brown skin.

Speaking of suits, so does her outfit to hide her status as Südrak.

Tarita, dressed like a civilized person, wiped out the white pattern that they put in her body. Her slender height was combined with her masculine beauty on the ground.

However, standing on guard duty at night, she takes off her jacket and rolls up her sleeves, impressing her with wildness rather than smartness.

――――

In a slight silence, Tarrita sagged in thought.

Above Subaru's body, which he had spoken to, the original world and the darker and heavier parts were blurred, but how did it affect Tarita?

When I saw Subaru taking care of his nails, Tarita asked him, "Where did you learn makeup?"

In addition to makeup, women's clothes are also the same, but it's not a big hang-up.

After spending a lot of time in junior high school, Subaru's high school life brilliantly blossoms back, so I just tried a little spare time.

”However, there was something sophisticated about it... if you're going to do it thoroughly, I won't be embarrassed if you cum”

No matter the path, there are many ancestors who have worked hard to develop technology.

As a result, Subaru's high school life ended. Since then, I've decided in my heart that women's clothes will never be used again, but it looks like this.

I don't know what's in it for me until I'm done with my life. ― ― In the case of Subaru, it doesn't end when it's over, so it feels particularly like that.

"How ridiculous..."

"... the posture of Natumi, I envy her"

"What, eh!?"

"De, why are you so surprised...?"

"Oh, no, it's a word I haven't said much about..."

It was so serious and shocking that it surprised Tarita quite a bit.

That said, the shock in Subaru's heart, which held down the fake chest, was hard to get rid of. Objectively, Subaru didn't think his position deserved much of an envy.

Sometimes I look at myself, but since I've been in a different world - I look back, but even before that, Subaru's life has been a series of failures and disappointments.

Honestly, I doubt if I would have had a chance to turn it into a positive if I hadn't met Emilia.

I think the encounters and happiness that followed were all given to me by Emilia, who was trying to help Subaru get kicked by a punk in that alley.

─ ─ The memories of that moment were no longer in Emilia's memory.

"Ha, I grew up hiding behind my sister for a long time. Is your sister a person as you know her? No one suspected that La would eventually become a patriarch. Me, too."

"Mr. Talitta..."

Tarrita starts talking to herself.

At first, Subaru was going to stop if she started telling us something she didn't want to say in return for our confession. Asked about the origin of the technology of makeup and women's clothes, I talked about how to carry the story on Subaru's side. I'm not going to force that on you.

However, I stopped listening to Tarita's wet eyes and her voice trembling, which tended to speak downwards.

She felt that way when she was talking because she wanted to.

"Your sister and Ha are three years apart." So, it's not because of the difference between just three years old that I feel bigger than my sister. Te, isn't that right? "

――――

"What your sister did when you were ten years old, even at the same age, I can't cum. That's not the difference in age, but the difference in something even more different. I don't know what that is. I don't know.

Tarrita's words pierced Subaru's chest.

It was a story I had heard somewhere, and at the same time it was a story I had never revealed to anyone.

The feeling of inferiority to a good sister, that's what Rem had in mind.

The feeling of inferiority to my longed-for back, which was what Subaru was tormented by.

"Sister Ha, why do you call me the chief?" I don't really think that's what I'm responsible for. "

I knew you were her child after all.

Disappointment with yourself and guilt about what you expect from someone you care about.

It knocked her out, but Tarrita accompanied her on this journey. Miselda, who was a chieftain, vowed to cooperate and set out Abel's journey with the goal of regaining his reign.

It may be a journey for Tarrita to look back and acknowledge herself, and at the same time to escape the burden of expectation that she will descend upon her.

"During this journey, Dan has to give an answer. Nice, you don't have to be ready for that."

"Ready... that's why you're ready to take over the chief?"

――――

In response to Subaru's question, Tarrita nodded, pulling her thin jaw.

It is inappropriate to give an answer, and it is the proper fate to be prepared - that shows how she sees the role of the next chieftain entrusted to her by Miselda.

Tarrita believes it is inevitable that she will succeed the Patriarch.

I have no right to reject it. It is my sister's duty to be nominated as a great sister and lead the next generation of the clan.

"Even if I run away..."

Eh?

"I think it's okay to run away." I won't blame you for that. "

Taritta's eye-catching expression is told by unexpected words.

Talitta revealed herself, though. I can see the situation she's in, the anxiety she's in, the responsibility placed on her thin shoulders.

Sometimes a responsible, self-punishing girl is desperately holding it in her arms.

Or maybe Tarrita wanted Subaru to be prepared for something that she couldn't decide herself. I might have wanted some advice from Subaru, who was dressed up as a woman without shame, that lack of self-confidence was irrelevant.

But what Subaru said was a betrayal of her expectations.

"If we can't bear it, if we think there's someone better suited than us, we can't blame them for packing up and leaving the carriage. At least I am."

"It's Dega, if I'm gone, I'll be stronger..."

"Of course, I have that anxiety." But I don't care. "

――――

When he says what he sees fit, Svalbard makes a mockery of himself without revealing it.

Abel will be indignant if he hears this story. Tarrita is right, she is a valuable force for the understaffed faction.

It can be said as a whole or as a part of this journey.

I don't care if you let it go.

"I, I don't need to..."

“No, that's a big mistake. I want you to be with me personally and militarily. But that's my wagama, isn't it?"

"Wagamama..."

"Because I tell you to kill your heart to live."

Experienced and like-minded, Subaru can't hold it back from Tarrita.

At an older age, Tarita, who may be older than Subaru over this trouble, had the opportunity to get out of the darkness ahead of her, and Subaru turned to her senpai.

― ― I can't be someone else.

No matter whether it is a relative or a close opponent, no matter how longed for, envied, or burned to the ground.

"We can't be anything but ourselves."

At the very least, you will become a 'self' that you can like, that you can be convinced, and that you can be confident.

Like a feathered butterfly, repeating disappointment and disappointment, and a slight sense of accomplishment.

"...... it's going to stick to your nose, right?"

Tarita murmured with a soft voice that she could not hear.

I was talking about Abel's theory a few hours ago while surrounding the same fire. Many unwanted things live by grabbing the two empty hands.

It seems that the essence of the story coincides with what Subaru wanted to say.

――――

Listening to Svalbard's story, Tarrita's eyes swam, and her stray eyes grew stronger.

Whichever way it goes, it's up to Tarrita to decide, but I think she should respect whatever she chooses.

Subaru escaped the expectations and guilt he couldn't live with.

If anything, I even suspected that I was summoned to another world because I wanted to escape.

Of course, that's why my parents haven't even said goodbye to my real parents.

"There was a salvation in being able to escape."

At the very least, if I had stayed locked in my own room, which continued to be a sandwich between expectation and guilt, I wouldn't have been able to keep up with Natsuki Subaru's mood.

I would have remained a Subaru who couldn't afford to break his heart if he wanted to do something for someone with his own full hands.

It's not a bad thing to run away until you're ready to fight.

Or not to fight, it should be a world of choice.

"Confidence and readiness..."

Huh?

"I don't have enough confidence or readiness. That's right, that's not all....."

Tarita's lips trembled as she listened to what Svalbard had to say.

It was thin enough to be swallowed by the sound of a burning fire, or it was more sternly emotional than when I told a helpless story about myself.

"If I had made a big mistake... how could I have made up for it?"

"Mistakes and atonements... are you Mr. Talitta?"

――――

Asked, Tarrita let out a small sigh of "A".

I regretted passing through her open eyes, just like the mistake I just told you, and I regret having told it to Subaru here.

Apparently, Tarrita is guilty of a big mistake.

Not only her sense of helplessness compared to her sister, but her presence also seemed to be a factor in her decision.

"It's weird... please forget about it."

What ultimately followed was the conclusion that the story would never be told.

Never, Tarrita's voice and expression could tell that she hadn't arrived at an answer, but Svalbard accepted that she couldn't force out any more.

Eventually, when she wants to spit it out, I hope she can stay by her side...

"Brother, it's time to take turns."

And so, when Subaru concluded, the carriage called.

It was Al who slowly walked up to the fire, twisting his thick neck. The night shift was set to take place every three hours, and Subaru's shift time seemed to have arrived.

"I'm not satisfied that Abel and Louis are out of rotation..."

"Stop it, stop it. When Abel arrived at the Emperor's throne, it would be a bad idea to execute her because she was on night duty."

I don't think I'll be able to tell how many of my necks will be lined up when I start talking about grudges anymore.

"If you're aware of it, keep it down." Stay with me and I'll be annoyed. "

Listening to Subaru's blurry voice, Al complains.

That said, Abel's attitude can't be broken anymore. Someone didn't tell me, so Abel is an unassuming tyrant.

We need to correct some of our personalities among the unauthorized fugitives.

Otherwise, even if our contribution returns, we will soon start another rebellion and be decapitated.

"Ahh, I'll leave that to you." As you can see from the princess, I'm basically a laissez-faire kind of guy. "

With a fluttering wave of his hand, Al threw out a change in Subaru's mind.

Sighing at Al's unreliable appearance, Subaru turned to face Tarita again. As she watched the fire, she called out to Tarrita.

"I'm going down." If you couldn't stand hearing Al's sexual harassment and jokes, let me know right away. ”

"Hurry up...?"

"I won't try to imitate you like a princess!" It's perfectly suited to the sense of distance and intimacy. It's called a TPO. "

"You're the one who doesn't like me, right?"

Talitta responded with a soft voice, and Al spoke loudly of her innocence.

Comparing the two, Svalbard stood up and spoke softly to Al, paying attention to the dirt on the hem and buttocks.

"Maybe Mr. Talitta will give you some advice on life." In that case, please guide him as an experienced forerunner. "

"You feel like an experienced first-person depiction of me, don't you?" I can't take responsibility for other people's lives, so I've been actively running away from it. "

"It's a chance to overcome your bad skills." It's the same as pepper. "

Emilia and Beatrice, who don't like peppermint, are also struggling to defeat it in various ways without losing the challenge.

So far, the two of them have not won a single victory, but as long as they continue to fight, Subaru believes that there will be days when they will beat each other.

That's why Al did his best, too.

"I guess I'm the only one who can't hear it in my chest..."

At least, since the current story met the conditions that motivated Subaru, it was Subaru's conclusion that there was a problem with Al that didn't sound.

"Nut mi, tomorrow..."

"-Yeah, see you tomorrow"

Tarrita calls out to Svalbard as he gives in to Al in front of the fire and steps back into the carriage.

The weak but sure promise of tomorrow made Subaru hope that she would accept Subaru's words and face to face tomorrow.

Running away is not a bad thing. As a result of escaping, I also gained power.

But I'm sure there are people who decide to fight without running away and beat it.

Svalbard thought it would be nice for Tarrita to do so.

――――

Back in the carriage, the still air inside the dark carriage greeted Subaru.

The interior of the car is divided by a simple curtain, which separates the beds of men and women in the front and rear. There was a division between men in front and women in the back, but everyone who was sleeping was surprisingly quiet.

It was Abel, Medium, and Louis who were resting now, but Abel was still a servant, and it would be surprising if the breath of Medium and Louis was still quiet.

When I asked, knowing that it was a violation of manners to shake my sleeping figure, Medium replied clearly, "If I snore, I'll find out where I am around you."

It wasn't long after Subaru had heard that it was during his journey as a pedestrian, or that it was a day in a facility that was allegedly in poor condition.

Required and acquired skills.

In that sense, Abel is quietly sleeping, which is why--

"...... even when you're asleep, you look hateful." Let's do graffiti, shall we? "

"--whatever it is, be it stubborn or unfaithful."

"--Oh"

On the way inside, Abel sleeps in the allocated space. Suddenly, the sound of Subaru peeking into his sleeping face surprised him. Unexpectedly screaming, Svalbard managed to endure it and said, "Were you awake?" He scraped his voice up.

"... we're on a night shift, so at the very least, I want you to fully enjoy the benefits."

"It is the custom of the Volakian royal family to sleep with one eye open." I won't leak to that example, either. "

"Open one eye, it's not a movie, so... eh, are you serious?"

"Why do I have to tell you a joke?"

Naturally, Abel, who had one eye open as he had declared, turned back and Subaru held his breath.

The light in those black eyes proved that the previous words were not lies.

In an old movie, a killer said he had a habit of sleeping with one eye open.

Apparently, I have heard that it is difficult for the structure of the human brain, but when I see that Abel is doing it as a fact in front of me, I am told that it is not impossible.

But that's another dimension of comprehension.

"Why can't you sleep properly?" Do you think we're going to scratch your neck? "

"Even the tiniest ones have the potential. Insufficient attention will not kill you."

"Insufficient attention...!"

Hearing a pale response, Subaru shuddered and pointed out the window.

What you can see from the windows of the carriage is the light of the fire, which is not far away. Both Al and Tarrita stand on night duty, vigilant for danger.

Of course, to keep ourselves safe,

Who the hell do you think you're doing this for?

――――

”Even if this is the case, can't you still pinch your eyes in front of us?”

Natsumi Schwartz's skin peeled off, and Natsuki Subaru emerged from her distorted expression.

While witnessing this, Abel's thorough expression did not waver. As usual, Abel blinks with his right and left eyes alternately.

Even that number is minimal, and that's the same reason I can't sleep with my eyes closed.

Whether we were fighting for our lives against the [Ritual of Blood and Life], or we dressed as dancers and infiltrated Guaral, the path to get into the carriage and go to the destination is the same.

sympathize with positions you must remain vigilant in situations where failure is unacceptable.

So at the very least, why don't you try to relax your mind before you even get into a potentially hostile area?

Yes, Abel caught sight of Subaru's frowning words. - One eye.

Cut off one eye, put your arms together, put your back on the seat, and snort.

"Don't think about distorting my way." Let's do your job. "

――――

"The Demon Capital is close." You do your part. [M] I don't want any more, and I won't forgive you. "

There was no island to attach to, and it was pounded, and Subaru tongued.

Sometimes I thought I might be able to walk a little closer, but I still can't.

"I see... oh, I see! I'm going to let you scream."

Abel doesn't respond to the angry voices.

Svalbard lies on his bed as far away from Abel as possible, loosening his clothes and being careful that the wig does not hurt.

In the end, I thought that I would wake up Subaru because of rebellion against Abel, but I didn't really know which was the right answer, whether it meant sleeping or waking up, and my consciousness was white.

The horse-drawn carriage journey continues with various problems, anxieties, and relational values pregnant.

― ― The Demon Capital Chaos Frame was already arriving.
