Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

― ― Red Ribbon Castle rises in the center of the Demon Capital Chaos Frame.

A roughly unified wedding cake-like streetscape painted with chaos on top of chaos-with beams and scaffolding of different materials and styles, the castle shimmers alternately in red and blue in a magical city that cannot be understood without some kind of artistry.

In the first place, "Gori" is naturally blue, and it is a contradiction to bear the red color. However, everyone is convinced that the name of Red Ribbon Castle is correct at a glance.

Literally the rhodium-coloured stone is used abundantly in the foundations and bones of the castle.

A deep blue shiny gemstone, with a swirl of red like a bloody scorpion slowly dropped into the water inside, and occasionally, the blue shoulder straps cast a red light like blood.

A chaotic castle with a certain colour, but not a certain shade.

It was the castle of Jorna Michigre, the lord of the castle, and the castle of the Red Ribbon of the Demon City.

――――

Called to the top floor of the Red Ribbon Castle, while facing Yoruna, Subaru's back is wet with cold sweat.

The cold sweat gushed out because a group of people waited for Yoruna in the same Heavenly Palace - and there was a face that shouldn't have been there.

With the three men as escorts, he stood calmly in the dark-haired figure he knew -- in other words, he was nothing but the face of Abel, who was supposed to be waiting for him at the inn.

But it's impossible to run into him here. For this reason, Svalbard and the others went to Red Ribbon Castle as messengers before him.

I mean, there's no way he's here because--

"--A fake disguised as an emperor"

With that, Svalbard muttered in his mouth and twisted his cheeks to a whiteness.

I had been told in advance that there were people who behaved in the same way as Abel. I was surprised by the accuracy and the sudden encounter, which is why I have no doubt.

One of the "Nine Divine Generals" and the shadow warrior of Emperor Vincent Volakia-

"Ah, Abel Chin? Why are you here...?"

"Oops, are you okay, medium-chan?" If Alchin's here, he's here. "

Behind the impacting Subaru, a dangerous scene broke out.

He discovered a familiar face, and Medium called out to him in a friendly way. The medium mouth was blocked tightly, and Al lowered her back. Medium was taller than Al, but she obeyed quietly, amazed by the outrage of a man with two arms.

Medium behavior is canceled when in danger.

――

However, the exchange seemed suspicious enough to the other party. Anyway, the man with the same face as Abel was stunned by the person with yellow-green hair who would be his escort.

That being said--

Al, I was following Nice.

"Ahh, I praised myself for my divine reaction."... but isn't this a bit too much of a surprise? "

"... yes, I think so too."

Alongside Al, who was retracting the medium, Subaru nodded with a serious look.

Unexpected opponent batting - the worst collision you can think of. Although the results are theoretical, it is unfortunate that Abel did not accompany us here.

If he had been here, it would suddenly have been the opening of the real Vorakia Emperor's final battle.

"Maybe that's your hand, too..."

Svalbard looked down at the three guards who followed the man with Abel's face and was driven by temptation.

We don't know how many soldiers are hiding in the city or out there, but at least, there are only three of his gestures here - a sham emperor protected by tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers in the Imperial Capital, and now may be the perfect time to strip that mask.

"-No, it's early."

Believing Abel's words, the emperor's position is by no means a cage of peace.

Abel does not even close his eyes in public because he is constantly on guard when he is scratched on the head. An emperor in a normalized position, even if he is pretending to be one of them, it is impossible to imagine him exposing his defenseless appearance to the public.

In other words, whether the three people with the escort are very powerful, or if there are other measures.

Do you want to hit it a little bit and check it out?

"... if it's easy to continue, maybe that's what it is." But I'm more afraid of irreversible developments. Don't imitate me too soon. "

Heh-heh-heh-heh.

No matter how serious he was, Al didn't mind the wind rejecting the proposal.

Al's opinion tends to be relatively dismissed, because it gives him time to come up with an early opinion that Subaru is likely to come up with, and to judge calmly.

This reduces the number of detours and allows you to spend time examining the most appropriate options.

At the very least, we should not buy the displeasure of the pseudo-emperor's party and look for a way to get past it. I also want to identify the purpose of the other party's visit.

Why did you show up in the chaos frame at this time?

That said, although the actual situation was different, the emperor himself was carrying his legs.

"Nhh! Nhh!"

In the midst of such thoughts, a medium that was blocked by his mouth roared.

Besides being lowered without explanation, her mouth was blocked and left open, so it was only natural for her to be indignant, and Al hurriedly released her, "I'm sorry."

"Puhah, that was tough!"

"Hey, I didn't notice." It's just that medium-chan's cheeks are so soft, so I'm just going to mess with you. "

The more you say it, the more suspicion of sexual harassment grows.

"I don't know, but it's better than that!"

Subaru had white eyes on Al's excuse, and the medium breathing into the two of them with their full bodies poked his fingers with his bishop's hands.

When Svalbard and Al were all together in her momentum,

"Um, I don't quite understand yet... but that Abel dick is different from the Abel dick we know?"

"Oh, yeah, that's right. After all, the real thing is waiting for us to come home in a downtown inn. I'm so weak right now....."

"If that's the case, don't you think it would be bad? I mean, Natomi-chan."

"Me? What am I doing...?"

I don't know, but I understand the essence of the problem. Subaru, who was the subject of the indication, immediately understood her concerns.

The medium point, her intentions are clear.

And that was something Subaru and Al should have noticed before she said it.

Of course, I didn't have time to take measures when I noticed. Even so, I should have been ready to discuss my departure.

"--Mr. Yoruna Michigle, welcome."

It was the deer girl who was the guide who did not give the time and declared the time was up.

The girl who appeared again bowed her head with its large horns and bowed to the Subaru and the Pseudo-Emperor. Then he opened the door in front of the hall and said, "Please."

In this way, Svalbard witnessed the figure that slowly stepped into the room, and succeeded in verbalizing the impression he had on the deer girl.

Subaru's impression of a deer girl resembled that of a "vulture".

Azalea is a girl who worked as an apprentice for a yacht in an old time, in a Japanese paradise, etc., and she studied etiquette and performing arts while taking care of the surroundings of the yacht in a gorgeous flower street.

The unexpectedly stylish dressing and hair ornaments made Subaru think so.

Above all, the obvious reason is the person who took the girl--

――――

The reason Subaru succeeded in linguizing [Vo] was precisely the person who showed up.

Forgetting to breathe, opening one's eyes and looking at the other person is the instinctive reaction of the late man, who was devoured by the beautiful, the overwhelming, and such things, and was controlled by his consciousness.

"--Today we have a lot of guests, don't we?"

While saying that, it was a tall woman who narrowed her long blue eyes.

The hair is wrapped in a vibrant mushroom with a floral pattern, and gradually develops from white to orange as the hair tip falls. The hair is carefully and beautifully knotted.

The hair was decorated by processing the bones and horns of animals. In addition, a number of hair decorations made of fangs and scales served to entertain the eyes of those who saw them.

However, they are only ornaments, only in the form of beauty made by human hands.

To truly exude its charm, the person to be decorated and the quality of its contents are important.

And in that element, the quality of the person wearing the mirage was unquestionable.

――――

It is a stunning beauty to move your thin body softly and take your steps slowly.

The sophisticated workmanship and the number of operations that seem to calculate everything that can be seen while laying down a faint atmosphere somewhere gives a glimpse of the optimal solution of the act of attracting attention.

The fox's tail, which seemed too big for its slender size, made the impression of a shabby footstep even more prominent -- there were nine of them with rich fur.

The tied hair, the beard, and the beast's ears lifted up with a pin in the hair ornament were coupled, and the information stained the brain like alcohol, saying that it was a beautiful fox beauty wearing a mushroom.

I've come a long way to welcome you to the castle.

With that said, a beauty sitting on a chair in the hall, with her long, supple legs thrown out, puts her weight on her elbow. As she continued to reach out, the obedient vase gripped her white finger with a gold-coated smoke tube.

When the beauty dropped the fire on the end of the smoke tube, she put the rising purple smoke into her lungs and smiled suddenly.

While looking down at Emperor Volakia, the guest he had greeted from his seat.

――――

The magnificent figure, the spoken language, and the dressing of the dare exposed thin shoulders, combined with the presence of the trapped baboon, reminded Subaru of the words "amusement" and "flower king".

Of course, Subaru had never seen the real thing, such as the yokai. It was only knowledge written in works dealing with old times such as period plays, but nothing else came to mind.

- No, there is nothing else to describe her, too much to say.

There are certainly other words for her in this place. It is true that she is both a beauty and an amusement style, but before that, she was in the [lacquer] seat of the [Nine God Generals].

"-Jolna Michigle"

The beauty that appeared - Yoruna Michigre is called by her name and sees the man who called herself.

On the wooden floor, Yoruna's blue eyes were turned back to distinguish herself from the fake emperor, Abel, who I dared to call Vincent.

"Of course, but the same voice..."

It was a word that was uttered, but it was not inconsistent with Abel's voice.

Apparently, it's not just the shape that resembles it, but also its tone of voice. However, it is not surprising that it is only natural that a voice should be heard more than a photograph of a figure.

Instead, Subaru took a breath away from facing Vincent and Yoruna.

Quietly looking at each other, the two gazes are as magnificent as one of the paintings.

A magical emperor who miraculously combines beauty and majestic splendor. What event in the history of the Empire will the face-to-face meeting between the two bequeath today?

It's up to you, my dear, to follow the path of bloodshed.

"... for what purpose?"

Vincent's party couldn't read whether he was coming to the Demon City or not.

The encounter with them, the appearance of Yoruna, and the reaction to them prevailed, but the purpose of Vincent's visit - what purpose did he come under the repeated "Nine God Generals"?

Beyond the need to play the real Emperor, there must be some justification there. And why did Yoruna also receive the Emperor in the castle, who was supposed to be badly related?

I can't say no in Yoruna's position, but that's all I can say.

It's been a long time, my lord. It's been a long time.

Before Subaru thought about it, Yoruna lowered her eyes, smiled, and put a smoke tube in her mouth. And as he breathed out the purple smoke, he opened one eye unto ten million disrespectful,

"It is not an honor for me to be honoured to admire your face in this way. No matter how much you invite me, you have to come to the Demon City."

Is that an invitation?

Without touching the posture, the purple smoke, and the two disrespectfulness, Vincent frowned unpleasantly.

When he put his thin arms together, he clapped his elbow like he was thinking.

"By your invitation, have you often raised a soldier against the rest?" If so, I would have returned the rest in a visible form. "

"Yes, indeed. Unfortunately, this is how my neck is still connected to my torso." And today, I'm not going to have to take that nasty kid with me. "

――――

"By the way, it's not up to you to make your chest jump if your thoughts have arrived." Please, I'll forgive you. "

Yoruna snorted her throat and laughed, "Kufu." With such a seductive voice and smile, Vincent doesn't let his expression wiggle.

The degree of completion of Vincent as a false emperor was spectacular, but on the other hand, Yoruna's attitude toward Vincent was disturbed by his gaze and his enthusiasm for words.

It was a short exchange, but in the eyes of Subaru,

"I can't believe you're cheating on me because you want to catch Abel's attention, right?"

"... I want you to be different, right?"

It seemed that Al had the same guess as Subaru, and Subaru bit his back teeth at his words.

It's hard to imagine that the greatest force in the Empire is someone who doesn't want me to be the one to run the army, and someone who doesn't think of Abel as a person.

That's the main reason Subaru's cheeks were tightened, but there was something more accurate.

In the first place, it was a pretext for Svalbard to ask Joruna for an interview.

It was an attempt to draw attention to the slogan "Abel Mukatsu", and I do not expect it to reach the person who is favourable to Abel.

If Subaru's bad imagination had come true, it wouldn't have been a funny story for Yoruna. In spite of that, she took the Svalbards to the castle.

It was also a way to get Vincent to sit down with the rest of the party.

"Yoruna, isn't that disrespectful attitude?" What are you thinking? "

Yeah?

The emperor group's conversation is progressing, with the Subaru and others endangering the uncertainty.

Instead of silent Vincent, Yoruna raised her eyebrows with the thought of Vincent's escort and yellow-green hair.

A man with short, upside-down hair, some of which stretched out as long as a tactile sensation, would be about the same age as Vincent, or somewhat older.

A sand-colored cloak is worn on top of the black light armor, giving a sharp impression of wire-like appearance and physique. His piercing gaze stared at Yoruna like a bomb.

"The lord with you..."

"It's Kahuma Illuks, and I've been ordered to accompany you this time." I was going to play the role of a guard... but I can't help but notice your attitude. "

"Isn't that a witty attitude?" What do you mean by that? "

Everything!

Yoruna's words, which sounded long, and the man who called himself Kahuma, raged.

And he stared at Jorunah, and turned his hand toward the Subaruites, who were silent about the matter.

"In the first place, why do you want others to be here!" This is your castle, but at the same time it's part of the Empire... did you lose it? "

"That's not supposed to happen." Properly, we don't belong to you, my lord. "

"I didn't say that!" Those princes there are you too! "

"Ugh!? Us!?"

With the tip of Kahuma's wrath pointed, Subaru shakes his shoulders. If possible, I would have preferred it to be left as an unconscious being, but it was a high desire.

However, if water is directed, there is a way to use it instead.

"Um, are we in the way?" If that's the case, I'll tell you the day again... "

"I don't want that." The time of day is limited, so if you miss today, when will be the next time? "

"Don't hold them back! They'll feel awkward too!"

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

For some reason, Kahuma and I agree with Yoruna who is trying to stop Subaru and the others. Beyond accompanying the False Emperor, Kahuma is an enemy from a standpoint, but it's a very clear-cut thing to say here that seems to be our only ally.

But--

"Yoruna Michigle, what are you thinking?"

Suddenly, it was Vincent Vorakia, the false emperor, who cracked the air.

When he uttered his words, Kahuma, who was raising his temper, immediately retreated. Despite the familiar voice and familiar face, Subaru felt his gut shrink.

Despite knowing it to be fake, the sense of intimidation was real.

"Answer. What are you thinking?"

And he shut up the obedient and the uninvited, and Vincent questioned Joruna again.

In response to her inquiry and her domination, Joruna narrowed her eyes slightly. I gently carried the smoke tube around my mouth, put the purple smoke into my lungs, and asked for an answer while exhaling a sweet breath.

Even so, Kahuma's cheeks slightly tugged at the emperor's disrespect.

"Of course, we always think of you... of Emperor Volakia."

――――

"Kufu. Don't be cold-eyed, Rinshu." But if you don't lower the visitor over there, I'm sure the lord will be thrilled, too. "

With a confident attitude, Yoruna laughs tinyly, and Svalbard jerks off.

For the first time, Vincent's consciousness turned on Subaru and the others. It must have determined that there was a reason other than Yoruna's indifference in the previous communication.

In an effort to cut off this bad flow, Subaru coughs out his "oh, oh, oh, oh."

"I'm sorry, but please make a proposal again." It looks like we're out of place, and there are some stories we shouldn't be listening to. I'll let you go down here for once... "

That's right, that's not such a weak thing.

Subaru's words to break his hips and politely resign from this place were blocked.

For a moment, Yoruna's eyes, hidden in the purple smoke, saw that it lived the light of naivety, and Subaru understood his mistakes.

If I were to return the favor, I should have made up my mind when I saw their faces.

Because I saw it by mistake, I feel sorry for it.

Because--

"I didn't hear that from Tanza....... Lords, I'm afraid I've come to invite you to become an enemy of the Emperor."

And, I've been hit with all of my thoughts.
