Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

― ― Unintelligible circumstances ravage Natsuki and Subaru's tiny brain.

It was a shocking situation.

Without realizing the [death], Subaru could only admit that he didn't want to admit it during the rule-setting process with Albert.

Subaru lost his life, and at this moment, he was [back to death].

And that 's--

"... in the middle of a hide-and-seek that shouldn't have died"

Covering his mouth with a small palm, Subaru desperately remembers what happened.

The [Hide and Seek] with Albert began, and once overcame the evil of the odd old man's base and successfully found the Shinobi hidden in the first room, the [back of the eyelid].

With that momentum, Subaru and the others stepped outside the inn to identify the next hideout for the weird old man. All of a sudden, the world went dark.

And when I realized it, it was back here.

――――

"--If I accept your suggestion, I will need to clarify the decision."

Oh, what's that supposed to mean?

"That's what you said yourself." If winning is more profitable for us, we shouldn't leave too much room for mischief. ― ― What we want from each other is clear.

"--- Scarecrow"

As Svalbard thought about it, Alvaro's negotiations were at an advanced stage.

As Abel's conversation with Albert progresses, what awaits him is the selection of the match method that is a prerequisite for rule-making: -

"--It's a hide-and-seek."

That's what Abel was going to say.

△▼△▼△▼△

― ― After that, the conditions of the "hide and seek" exchanged with Alvaro.

It was always exactly what Subaru knew. No new conditions will be added or the necessary content will be cut. Inevitably, it stays the same.

Of course...

"It's a confirmation, but Mr. Albert is just hiding." Sneaking up on us..... "

"Hey, that's too much to worry about again, kid." I'll tell you what I'm going to try on you guys. If you only have arm knuckles to deal with, yesterday's Tenkaku made you a fool, didn't you? "

――――

Albert's words with the intention of reassuring me, I can't chew them honestly.

As a matter of fact, there is no doubt that Subaru lost his life and [went back to death]. As it stands, the closest threat to Subaru's people is now Alvaro.

He broke the useless rules and targeted Subaru and the others.

Oh my God, you've been suspected a lot, haven't you?

"You're not in a position to trust me, are you, Grandpa?" That's what's so ominous about it. "

"Ka-ka! I'll tell you what." Eight years ago, you got along so well, you were cold, too. "

Alvaro shrugged his shoulders, feeling a strong sense of vigilance at the silent Subaru. He laughed as he showed his teeth to Al as he continued pointing, and giggled.

Of course, Al also shut up against Albert's words.

No matter what--

"Albert, you don't have to tell me, but your hiding place doesn't make sense in places we can't physically reach." Don't be such a clever devil. "

“I get it, I get it. Not the thin ones. I have to be told."

Abel points out the same contents that Subaru pointed out last time. When Albert accepted the offer, the start of the match was announced again.

That is, presenting the first hint of the safe house.

"So where do you want to hide first, Grandpa?"

”First of all, let's do a little research... I'll hide in the back of my eyelids near this inn”

For a moment, there was an unpleasant tension in Subaru, but it ended in anxiety.

I feared that you might designate a different hideout than last time, but I didn't want to. After that, Albert, who turned his back majestically, felt the urge of Tarrita and Al to jump, and even though he had no choice but to see off, the entire flow was followed.

And so...

"What's the matter, brother?" You look so pale. "

Talitta, who dropped her bow at Abel's direction, and Al were the ones who called out to her while she was looking at her side. His remarks are slightly different from the previous one.

Originally, I would have complained about my dissatisfaction with riding against Albert, but this time about Subaru's complexion--no, it looks like I'm looking for Subaru with fewer mouths.

Of course I did. Svalbard himself was still confused and confused.

Suddenly [back to death] and to myself who was unable to recover from his mental shock.

"No, I'm sorry. While I'm talking, I'm suddenly getting tired..."

"Come on, hold on, please." Unlike me and Medium, who lost half their abilities due to shrinking, my brother's strengths should be alive and well even if they shrink. "

"My strengths are..."

"Of course! The great thing about Subaru Chin is that he's smart!" You're amazing, but Svalbard is also amazing, right? My boobs are so chubby, you're so chubby! "

Following Al's encouragement, the Medium rides cheerfully.

While holding Louis in her arms, she slaps her swollen chest. She watched them, and Subaru took a long breath.

The two of you are right to encourage us.

Whether it's shrinking or not, there's hardly any phase where Subaru can be physically useful. In that case, it is Subaru that shrinks and has the least impact.

Not if the Subaru is always dragging on mental drain.

"... so stop looking at me like that." If you want to fully exert the effects of the demonic side, the [Cognition Inhibition] function is sufficient. "

"Have you returned to looking around somewhat?" But I was surprised. I thought you were a downer who didn't realize the effect of this. "

"...... I wouldn't be surprised if you were wearing a mask just for acting strange."

Encouraged by Al and Medium, Subaru, who raised his face, said to Abel head-on.

Abel, who looked down at her useless eyes, saw that Subaru had regained the energy to raise his face and swallowed his dislike even more.

At a time when I feel that it is a concession, I can see a difficult part in Abel's communication skills, but I can't afford to discuss it at this time.

"Well, that's right. At first, I told you to do a little research, but there are a lot of candidates just around the inn." I wonder if the brothers and Abel have any plans for this. "

Al pointed his finger at Subaru and Abel to change the situation.

In response, Svalbard can present Alvaro's first hiding place - exactly, the fact that a strange old man is floating back in the room he's talking about.

Albert's tips are the same, so don't worry about them changing.

The problem is, after we find Albert, we go outside the inn.

"It's not a solution, but I can imagine where the 'behind the eyelids' is."

"Oh, really?" Awesome, brother. "

"... but it's highly likely that another problem has emerged with [behind the eyelids]."

Subaru - No, we need to share some of the threats that hit Subaru and the others with Abel and the others who don't know anything about it.

That being said, Svalbard himself has received too little information, so there are not many definite opinions that can be conveyed. If there is one thing I can say with a strong voice,

”I promised Albert... I won't let you do it, but isn't there any chance that Albert will break it?”

Huh? Is that a story about breaking my assumptions in the first place?

"Oh, I think it's possible..."

"--No, it can't be."

Due to the fact that he was attacked as soon as he left the inn, Subaru tries to turn the attention of his companions to Alvaro. But it was so strong that Abel denied it.

As Subaru watched the reaction, Abel put his thin arm together.

"Alvaro has nothing to gain from such a deed. It's impossible."

"But Albert was thinking of killing the Emperor!" If you hadn't imagined it at all...! "

"The posthumous fame is an idea that I don't have." But I understand that there is such a thing. Some people want it. But this and that are different stories. "

Sharpened by the sharp gaze of the demon, Subaru feels like his gut is sharp.

Special, Abel shouldn't have been sharper than he has been. Despite that, the feeling of being shot down didn't go away, and Subaru's exhaled breath was disturbed.

With Subaru suffering from such a feeling aside, Abel continued to say, "Okay."

"As you yourself saw and objected to the clowning of the mask, Albert Dunklken has no reason to harm us." If he's after the emperor's head, that's what I want. There will be no assumptions, no assumptions. "

"Ah, I agree with Abel, brother." My grandfather was ordered by the Emperor not to touch us. If you're willing to break it, it doesn't matter inside or outside of the inn, right? "

"Um, is that so...?"

"Brother?"

"Ah! No, that's right!" Yeah, I think so too. That's for sure. "

As Abel and Al continued their conversation, understanding was delayed for only a few seconds.

However, if it was explained with a firm argument, it would scold Subaru as well.

I don't know about Abel, but Albert has a track record of killing Subaru.

However, it was an act that passed through Albert, and the muscle itself was satisfactory to Subaru. There was nothing wrong with that scene except the timing.

According to that, this time - the way Subaru was killed as soon as he left the inn - is certainly a strange story for Albert's rules.

If Al had intended to kill him, as he was saying, it would have been better to kill him before the Subaruites went out of the house. Maybe he wanted to kill Subaru and the others in a visible place, but that doesn't make sense.

Perhaps you thought it would be more surprising and painful to kill Subaru if you weren't going to be killed.

Well then, I'll show you my face more properly.

If Alvaro's personality is such that he is aiming to make the Subaru's mood unsettling, he would want to see the Subaru's disappointment and despair in his eyes.

If it wasn't for that, I can't think of a reason why Albert would kill Svalbard outside the inn.

In other words,

"What's going on...?"

"Hey, Subaru Chin, what are you worried about?" Are you worried about the outside? "

Huh?

Medium peeks into Subaru's silent face, anxious to sort out the situation.

Right in front of her was a blue circle of eyes, and Subaru suddenly turned away with a "wow." "Wow," Medium grabbed Subaru's hand in response.

And then--

Okay, Svalbard, calm down, calm down.

"--Ahhh"

He pulled back the hand he had grabbed, and the medium embraced Subaru's head in his chest.

Slowly stroking my back, I can feel the beating of my medium chest on my forehead and cheeks. Her heart beat was a regular rhythm that softly shattered the rigid Subaru's consciousness.

"I'm going to have you do it when my head goes nuts, too. I've had people do it a long time ago."

"... calm, I feel..."

"Yup, yup, that's good! Well, just let me know, okay? What's Subaru Chin worried about outside?"

The medium voice coming from above did not rush Subaru to answer.

As it is, even when I am young, I want to sweeten it to a medium that does not change my kindness, but Subaru also says that he does not allow time for that.

That's why he develops his thoughts stubbornly, holding his head in the medium, in a compromise proposal.

"That's why... outside the inn, I feel like it's in a dangerous situation..."

Is it dangerous outside?

"Oh, that's right. I think someone is after us..."

He nodded and listened to Subaru's overly vague opinion. Honestly, I was able to feel that it was a statement that was too convincing and unfounded for me.

If you can't do better, Medium won't be able to convince Abel or Al, for example-

"In fact, if we go outside the inn, we die there..."

― ― At that moment, the world was at a standstill.

――――

Clearly, the medium beat that I heard disappeared forever, and her face that was right in front of me, I couldn't even reach my breath.

Everything is far away.

Loss of color, loss of sound, loss of the flow of time, loss of the freedom to tuck in.

I can't move. I can't move. I can't move. I can't move.

With this, the edge of Subaru's consciousness, where his voice, breathing, and even his eyeball are not free, is slowly approaching with horror, horror, and surprise.

The black shadows moaned about why they touched the taboo.

Why did you forget this? A thin dark finger slips into your chest.

Why do you keep trying to repeat it over and over again? The voice of the [Witch] came and wiped it all out.

I love you

A long, long-lasting scream dragged Subaru to hell.

Gripping her heart, she tears apart Subaru's flesh, which is immensely aching. Pain. Rape. Abuse. --- Stamped as never to be forgotten again.

And then--

"---"

Subaru Chin?

Suddenly, sounds, colors, and the flow of time return, and you feel a violent flow of blood all over your body.

The head pressed against the medium chest, but it was not her soft heart sound that picked up, but Subaru's own resumption of blood flow and her unusual, threatened beating.

The more you lose your voice, the more you chew away your understanding, the more you raped your soul, the more [Witch] is furious that he has touched the taboo, and Subaru curses himself.

Why did you imitate such pain, suffering, and stepping into it?

Never, you can't tell anyone else about the 'return to death'.

You can't even make an analogy.

When I tried to tell someone of my intentions, that dark demonic hand, the [Witch of Jealousy], would reach the heart of Subaru through all kinds of trouble.

Not to mention--

"Abu Na, I got it..."

With that muttering, Subaru confirms the presence of the Medium that holds him, and of Abel, Al, Tarrita, and Louis, who are all around her.

The hot stuff that gently lifted up into the air was not harmed by them. ---This confession of "Return to Death" carries the greatest risk for Subaru.

In other words, it is unlikely that the demon's hand will be able to release its power until it stops the lifeblood of someone other than Subaru, unlike the threat to Subaru.

If that possibility is not fulfilled and Subaru alone suffers, the next best outcome will be.

Of course, it was best not to let Subaru suffer.

"Medium,... thank you, it's all right now"

"Really? It looks more painful than before..."

If it's just me, it's best in the circumstances.

Saying that, Subaru raised his face and freed himself from the medium embrace. She had a slightly medium-resistant face, but she couldn't say anything more to Subaru's rhetoric.

I appreciate her concern, but the situation won't allow it. Moreover, without exaggeration, there are parts that have been helped by the fact that they are medium.

"I'm sorry for making you uneasy." But I really feel like it's dangerous out there. That's why. "

"Don't go out there, do you think? But that won't be a fight against Alvaro. Of course, I don't have the option of not riding against him."

――――

"In that case, we will have to settle negotiations with Yoruna Michigre." This journey is a faraway phrase, you and clown, and the medium has shrunk. "

Well, some people may want to spend their whole lives rejuvenating.

Al followed Abel's ruthless remarks with a weak tea. Al's remarks, however, were contradicted from the front by Albert's remarks.

Although the details are unknown, it seems that the [infantilization] that attacked Subaru and the others has some disadvantages. It is different from simple rejuvenation.

After all, this [infantilization] must also be a bomb.

"I can't keep shrinking anymore." Since you didn't choose to surround your grandfather and slap him, you have no choice but to win the "Hide and Seek" game. "

"I know, I won't throw a fight." It's just that it's very dangerous out there. That's why.... "

So?

"Well, I want to be careful if I go outside." And I want you to believe me even if I say something really weird. "

――――

Looking straight at the opponent, Subaru complained.

As a result, Abel narrowed his eyes to the demon's face when he spoke without a detour. Al's subtly puzzled.

Certainly, it is not convincing, and it lacks trial and error in trying to convince.

"Ga, I don't care what Subaru says. We are trapped in an enemy trap, and this is where the enemy should be. Don't worry, Laan, it won't hurt to be more vigilant.".

"That's right, I agree with Talita-chan!" Let's be careful! If it gets tiny anymore, Louie won't be able to stop it. "

Ahhh ~

However, Tarita and Medium were in agreement with Subaru's opinion. Finally, I don't know what Louis's intentions were, but it didn't seem like he was hostile to Subaru.

Tallitta and the others aren't having a hard time talking either. However, because you are a guarded enemy, you are only raising your self-consciousness by not paying attention.

I can't think of a reason why Abel would be reluctant to do that, except that he doesn't like Subaru.

"If you don't like me, I'll show you the proof."

"Evidence?"

"Evidence that you can't ignore my thoughts." You know, Mr. Albert's place. I'll tell you where the 'behind the eyelids' is. "

"Do you think that's going to be a barter? Either way, you have to reveal it. It's the same for you to hide and suffer disadvantages."

"Ugh..."

However, Abel is tough and contradicts Subaru's opinion. Svalbard moaned unexpectedly that there was no sound. And Al went in and he said, "Well, well, well."

"Abel, my brother says he'll send you the judgment material." In fact, my brother's words suddenly went too far, and I couldn't even lose the Hatena mark over my head. But it's not the first time a brother has said something sudden, is it? "

――――

"If you don't listen to your brother here, it doesn't make sense to bring him around." So, if you're trying to scorn your brother, then I'm in a good mood, too. "

Huh.

Al lowered his voice facing Abel as he changed his position to cover Subaru's back.

The boy's voice level was low, but still enough for the air to change. Abel's gaze overlooking it became cold, and Subaru unexpectedly took a breath.

I haven't noticed much, but Abel's relationship with Al is much less than Subaru thought.

Originally, Al was accompanying Subaru on his journey to the Demon City. And like Subaru and a human from the Kingdom of Lugnica, he had no right to return to the throne of Abel.

Speaking forcefully, Priscilla, Al's master, wants it.

Therefore, there is no reason for Al to personally support Abel's purpose or himself.

This crack has manifested itself as a crack in the clear relationship.

Physically, Al shrank about ten years old, but could Abel beat him? Since Al's prowess in this state is unknown, this conflict won't be gained after a long time.

That's why--

"Stop fighting! Okay, I'm losing!" I surrender! "

Svalbard called out loudly as he went further ahead of Al, who sheltered him behind his back.

There is nothing good about fighting among allies here. It's better for Subaru to be a bad guy than to continue with such a barren thing.

Besides, either way, I was able to call attention.

Both Tarrita and Medium, Al and Subaru's complaint must have been heard. They'll be very careful when you leave the inn.

The problem was that [Death] was approaching in a way that didn't go far enough.

At that time, Subaru's body is already strained, and we have no choice but to do something about it.

"I can't do that!" Everyone, let's get ready! "

"- So, where's your" behind the eyelids "?"

"That's..."

Anyway, Subaru insists that we avoid wasting our time here. Abel finally reacted positively to Subaru's words.

That alone leads to relief, and it tells of the imperial emperor's flaws in interpersonal abilities.

Anyway, Svalbard decided to answer honestly.

Albert's first hideout, it 's--

△▼△▼△▼△

Next time, it's time to hide in a way that's appropriate for your teeth!

"Wait, Grandpa!...... Shit, I don't know!"

Albert bursts out of the inn as he opens the window of the room.

Al rushed to chase after the casual old man, but when he reached the window, the figure of the master Shinobi had already lurched into the streets.

The speed of the escaping legs is so pitchy, that the only way to talk about it is to speak to Tianqing and regretfully.

"Subaru, that man's next hiding place..."

"Yup, yup, Svalbard, you know what I mean?" You know who that is? "

The unfolding follows the same course, with both Tarrita and Medium gazing at Subaru, who lightly spotted Alvaro's first hiding place.

However, unfortunately, the answer to the second hiding place, "Naraka with a good view", is unclear.

Unable to give a good response, the mediums dropped their shoulders, but they followed the same trend as before.

"So, how about Abel?" My brother had a wonderful idea of where that grandfather was. "

"Delivering results deserves recognition."

"... that's all?"

"It doesn't mean we have time to spare." We need to expose Alvaro's whereabouts twice more. What else do you have? "

"... yes, sir?"

Perhaps the impact of the conversation earlier, Al stumbled on Abel and dropped his shoulder at his answer.

Al was happy, but Abel was surprised to react immediately. I don't remember receiving any comments from Abel on this result either.

Or rather, he doesn't honestly praise others, not just Subaru.

This time, it's just a scene that doesn't betray that impression.

It's a good view. Ha, can you think of it as a height?

"But you're talking about a hole, right?" If it's a hole, it's on the ground, isn't it? "

"I think both of you are on a good line. To answer that... Abel, I thought you wanted to go to a crowded place."

――――

Tarrita and Medium guess the next hideout for Alvaro.

In order to move the discussion forward, I want to implement Abel's plan, which didn't blossom last time. Surely, we were originally going to be a crowded tavern.

And as soon as they had left the lodge by that course, a sudden 'death' came upon Subaru.

In other words, the moment in question is imminent.

"Hey, Abel?"

"- I'm sure it's your idea. Places where a lot of people come in and out... that's why a place with a lot of people is desirable"

"The place where the rest of the people come in and out..."

"When I drank... was it a tavern?"

The conversation progressed quickly, and Abel quietly pulled his chin at the word Svalbard had spoken.

So we all left the inn and headed for the tavern.

Avoid the front and get out the back door of the inn.

And Abel was the only one to say that.

Svalbard said to himself, "Huh?” Al and Tarrita rolled up their eyes, whispering a stupid voice.

Huh? Abelchin, do you mean you believe what Subaruchin said?

"There's nothing worse than being vigilant. Having identified Albert's whereabouts, I had a lot to think about. That's all I'm talking about?"

”... you really are a bad personality”

When Subaru told her as if it was a grudge, Abel just snorted, "Hmm."

However, except for that arrogant posture, Abel's judgment was helpful to Subaru. In the same way, Subaru wanted to lead everyone to the back door somehow.

I'm sure you're willing to acknowledge my brother's accomplishments.

"... looks like it. No, it hasn't been like that before."

For some reason, I also doubted Abel's [Faithful Punishment] attitude.

If I could understand that, I could generally understand how to get along with Abel, even though Subaru himself was starting to see things that way.

It's like I'm learning how to get along with Abel all over again.

"Nevertheless, I was paralyzed when I hit my grandfather's whereabouts." How did you do that? ― ― Whatever it is, I would've read the strategy book.

"It sounds like a strategy book or something." Well, that would be useful, but not at all. It was just an experience. "

“Experience? Hide-and-seek?

"It's kind of like that." Before... before? "

Subaru's thoughts stopped as he dug through the tricks of Alvaro's discovery.

When Alvaro was hiding in the first room, Subaru could see that the next action was promised by that type of person.

But I'm sure someone did that before Albert.

So Svalbard should have clearly remembered that.

"Have you forgotten? Forgetting is something that old people do." That's, on the other hand, a strange thing to forget when you're getting younger, brother. "

"I forgot..."

"Isn't that right? If someone did it, someone in my brother's family." I guess she's not a silver-haired lady, and she's always with her lollipop... "

― ― Beatrice!

"Whoa!"

Al's shoulders trembled as Subaru raised his face and shouted strongly.

However, Subaru couldn't afford to follow Al's surprise. Of course.

"Stop joking..."

It was strange what I thought.

Beatrice, it's Beatrice. He is Subaru's companion and beloved and beloved spirit. The first prank she planted on Subaru was a clue to finding Alvaro.

If that's what you call it, it's what Subaru and Beatrice won.

And yet, it's impossible for it to slip away.

It was unacceptable.

”-Subaru! Al! Come!”

Suddenly, Tarita's sharp voice called out to Svalbard, who was stunned.

Unexpectedly raising her face and looking at her, Tarita turned to the back door of the inn and looked out from the gently opened door, with a strong vigilance on her side.

The cause of the alarm was probably nothing more than the [death] that struck Subaru and the others.

"--You 're already surrounded." "..... there are nearly a hundred opponents."
