Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

A soft gust of light strokes Subaru's forehead.

Feeling the rush, Subaru received the feel of the girl's hand and the breath of the tall beauty standing behind him.

The location is at the top of Red Ribbon Castle, above the large room on the top floor, and the "closest to the sky" where you can see this chaos frame by stepping on the roof tile of the castle.

It's the nearest place to the "Naraka" that Subaru had a good view.

Albert-san, I really think you have a bad personality.

With Louie by her side and her unconnected hand, Subaru is pointing at a tiny old man who sits tightly on the edge of the roof of the castle.

While scratching his hoof, he slipped his butt and looked back at the strange old man-albalt mouthing the hoof in his hand and gulping at the sake inside.

And then--

"That's it, kid." You're hungry, aren't you? "

"... oh, my stomach?"

"Oh, yes, my stomach feels sick." After all, right after you woke up, you didn't have time for dinner, did you? The state of your stomach has something to do with either your head or your body's work. "

While saying so, Alvaro, who placed the candy, pulls out another package from his pocket. In front of Subaru, who was slightly alarmed, Albert laughed and unwrapped.

What was wrapped in that package was a black, round object about the size of a golf ball.

"That's..."

"Takumaru, it's a portable food for me and Shinobi." It's a substitute that makes your stomach feel better all day long, and your head and body turn nicely. However, the taste is the worst. "

Alvaro shakes his fingers at the barn on the wrapping to show it.

It is an emergency food that doesn't feel like it depends on the flavor. It may be nutritious, but Subaru doesn't look like he wants to eat it aggressively.

Albert rolled it on his palm.

"I've been doing this since I was young, and naturally, I've been dating this guy since I was young." So, every time I eat this at work, I'm thinking about it. Looking at the great grandfathers of the city, I hid away and lived a life that didn't eat anything like this. "

"... then I guess we should do it." Albert-san, you said you were the head of Shinobi's town, so it's great, isn't it? "

"Oh, that's right." It's said that I'm more powerful than my grandfathers who were kicking me with their jaws... but for some reason, I still eat this thing. "

With that said, Alvaro threw his palm into his mouth. The strange old man chewed the food that he said was not good, and swallowed it.

Then he opened his mouth and showed that he had eaten it completely.

"After all, it's not like I'm going to lose my habits." This food that has been blown into everything without any relation to taste or appearance is the best treat for me. Are you listening to this and crying? Hey, scarecrow! "

Alvaro chirps his teeth and laughs, and Svalbard remembers something creepy in his reaction.

It seemed to me that this series of conversations was something that had nothing to do with Subaru's childhood. However, I don't think it's okay to ignore all of them.

Maybe it was a compliment or a compliment from Alvaro.

- Alvaro, this is not a castle.

Seeing that the conversation had come to an end, Jorna Michigre came to the roof of the castle with Subaru, the Empress of the Demon City, who opened her mouth.

Yoruna's blue eyes stared at her, and Albert stopped laughing "Oh".

"Of course, I'm curious. It feels pretty good to lay that castle on the buttocks of a castle lord." Because it's not the secret of long life to do what you love. "

"That's because you have a very carefree hobby, whether it's on or off." I don't have to think about it after all. "

Oh, I see.

"Of course not. ― ― I can't say that I'm sane enough to shorten my life with the secret of long life.

She gently puts her sleeves around her mouth and feels the heat from Yoruna, who smiles glossily. It was Yoruna's anger, contained in a gentle workmanship, which, of course, turned on Albert.

Albert would have noticed Yoruna's anger, but Odd Old Man was still scratching his hooves and throwing the next marsupial into his mouth from the wrapping open on his lap.

"So, why are you three so close again?" Fox daughters and two chicks, your friends aren't even gala or nagging. "

"Unlike raw hatred and the vicious albatross, we have no hobby to tease children and no reason to hate them." As a child, it doesn't make sense to treat her with courtesy, let alone-- "

So he cut off the words, and Joruna turned the golden pipe around with her fingertips. Continue to point the tip of the turned flue and the fumes at Albert.

"When Alvaro deceives a child, and his servant deceives him... as the city's mistress, you have to hit him with your hand."

"Ho, ho, ho"

While gently stroking her chin, Albert's pleasant eyes turned to the Subaru.

Svalbard nodded deeply as he perceived the intent of his gaze.

"I'm sorry, but I've been told." If it's Mr. Albert's rule, it's not his fault. You let them attack us, too. "

"Scarecrow! You don't keep your mouth shut, do you, kid?" But that's right. I'm going to set it up, and I'm going to make you cry again and again and then imitate it. but.... "

But?

"I can't even keep up with the contents of my head, so I'll think about it." Do you think you're a Volakia royal family? It's because I have all the bad characters. "

"Don't tell me something so scary..."

Looking at the hair color alone, the current emperor, Abel and Subaru, shared the same color, but there were too many differences in the rest of them. The construction of the face and the length of the foot are proof of this.

In the first place, it was evil to say that it was as bad as the Volakia royal family.

For example-

"I can thank you if you do well."

"That's not to say loudly with a smile. That's not what it takes to be a child. I have to go where I want to teach Tanza. Anyway--"

Yoruna, who was smashing her lips and appreciating Subaru's whiteness, hid her voice. As it was, my eyes narrowed, and the refreshing air headed to the end.

Because--

"Even if you don't feel ashamed of your witty servant, I can't talk to you without you." Now, where did Alvaro conceal her? "

Yoruna's question is the biggest reason why she came here.

――――

Feeling the aftermath of the tingling Yoruna's intimidation directed at Albert, Subaru chews his lips and sees the sound of his bouncing heart.

― ― Downstairs, shortly after entering the castle, Subaru, who was found by Yoruna and touched by Yoruna's unknown character yesterday, made another big bet.

I told Yoruna as little as possible about the situation we were in and about the "hide-and-seek" taking place in this chaos frame.

Of course, I didn't touch Abel's identity, and I kept it a secret that Subaru and the others were made "toddlers" by Alvaro. The important thing is that Svalbard and the others are playing hide-and-seek with Alvaro and that Tanza is cooperating there.

In order to appeal as sincerely as possible and resolve her suspicions with all her heart, Subaru decided to confront Yoruna with all his might, and confessed to Yoruna.

And after hearing Subaru's appeal, Yoruna often thought about it--

- Whether the words of a desperate child are lies or truths, or a woman who can't see through them, I won't say anything.

And so, she answered, accompanied by Subaru and Louis, to the top of Red Ribbon Castle.

"To be honest, I didn't think you were someone who could talk this far..."

"Aaaahhhhh"

"Yeah, I know."

Listening to Subaru's murmur, he shakes his lips as he shakes Louis' hand.

In response, Subaru tells himself that this is lucky to have been visited by a number of coincidences. No matter what factors were missing, I'm sure I couldn't create this situation.

The fact that he was separated from Abel, who had a bad taste.

The fact that he had reached Red Ribbon Castle with Ubirk's "Advice".

The fact that they were found directly by Yoruna, not by the guards.

The fact that we were not with Al or Medium, but with Louis.

And the fact that Subaru, who is most strongly influenced by "infantilization", took part in the bet.

Yoruna listened to Subaru's words because she took them seriously, saying that there were no lies there.

Like some adults who don't really listen to their children and laugh at them.

Some adults take children's words seriously and try to meet their expectations.

I didn't think it was the "Nine God Generals" of the Volakia Empire who killed them.

"Yoruna-san is out of her mind, who said anything about that..."

Perhaps the logic is that she was treated in such a way because she was not at all good at [weak meat], which is considered to be the common sense of Volakia.

At least Subaru has no choice but to think so.

"Alvaro, there are two demands from us."

While saying that, Yoruna gently lifted her two fingers.

Subaru doesn't hold his tongue in the conversation between the transcendents that cross his head. Just be aware of the feel of Louis' hand so that he can move when something happens.

If you transfer down, you can escape the field on the roof.

Request, let's talk about it.

First of all, you have to return the tanza to the bottom of the hole.

"Hey, that's a rough story." My daughter has her own thoughts. Otherwise, I won't let you plan something without telling me what you care about. "

"-Shut up."

In the middle of the day, Albert, who admitted to knowing Tanza's whereabouts, was cut off by a single laugh and a sharp cry from Yoruna.

The quiet and forceful words were powerful enough to change the air.

In fact, even Subaru, who wasn't the one who was directed at the words, held his breath.

And when Jorunah had shut the mouth of Albalt, he carried into his mouth the pipe of smoke that was in his hand, and slowly inflated his lungs with purple smoke.

"I'm not going to listen to Tanza's complaints and thoughts, except from her mouth." Not to mention, after tracing the tongue of the [Bad Ong], I can't stand to hear it. "

Ka-kun, you're hating me, aren't you?

I don't know what you're thinking, but it's enough for me, right?

Aggressively smiling, Yoruna's necklace swayed with a sound. Even the beauty of the luxuriously knotted hair, the beauty of it, seemed to Subaru to be Yoruna's weapon.

- Great people want to be scared.

It was Yoruna who taught Subaru that he had such an idea. Maybe it means the same thing to make you think you're beautiful, not just scared.

"The other thing is not to stop playing with these children."

"Hey, playtime. For once, it's a serious game, even if it's playful."

"Wichi shouldn't have said it yesterday in the presence of His Highness the Emperor. --No need for the ambassadors to take care of you, my lord or not."

--Nobody's going to touch Subaru and the others.

It was Yoruna's decision that was conveyed from Tanza's mouth without any attempt. And Joruna herself has the will to defend it, and the anger to have it broken.

In other words,

Are you ready to turn your witches into enemies in this demon city?

"Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared. Oh, my God, it's not my daughter.... ah, for once, I didn't do anything, but I don't have such an excuse."

"Isn't that an interpretation decided by Alvaro? - Whose city do you think this is? The more you laugh and forgive me, the more I'm a broad-hearted woman?"

I felt the air boiling, and Subaru's whole body began to curl up.

I can see that Yoruna's emotions are getting higher and higher the second half of the word. Of course, Jorunah is not a man who can not judge himself, so much as to put it on the tone of his voice and on his face.

But I can see that. Because Subaru has seen a lot of people who are really angry.

Those who are genuinely angry burn their emotions with their lives. So, if you stay by your side, you'll understand. A very, very pure rage is there.

"Ugh..."

Just like Subaru, Louis roared tinyly at the spread of sword-swallowing air.

On the way, Louis aggressively attacked the opponent, but Yoruna and Albert were here - they weren't the same strength as the pursuers.

She knows that she can't win a fight because of her animal instincts. Maybe you're worried about Subaru getting caught in the battle-

"-Oh, Mr. Albert!"

For a moment, I felt Louis' thoughts soften, and Subaru shook them off. With a swaying momentum, he calls out the name of Alvaro, who clashes with Yoruna.

Still sitting on the roof, Alvaro dexterously focused his one eye on Yoruna, while the other eye turned toward Subaru.

"W-What are you doing with that...?"

"Kanka! Physical control is the foundation of Shinobi." I'm not going to do anything wrong with my right and left hands, right and left legs, respectively. "

Huh?

"I thought you just called me that." I'll tell you what, I'm in a lifetime of references, and I'm in a dangerous situation. You can't care about half the balls in your eyes, can you? "

It seems that Albert knows that this is a place of seriousness, even if his stubborn attitude is not broken. If so, I would appreciate a single eyeball.

Svalbard took several deep breaths with his hands on his chest.

”Oh, don't you mind if I take you as your son?”

"... yeah?"

Alvaro opened his left eye and heard Svalbard's suggestion. With the attention of one eyeball, Subaru couldn't help but think, "That's why!” He shouted louder.

"It's you, you!" Albert also tried to do something that seemed to violate the rules, and I also told Yoruna. Either way, that's why... "

”You admit you've been so silly, that's why you're trying to accommodate each other?”

"Ah, oh, yes!" Look, it's not bad, is it? I'll give you what Albert wants, and we'll solve our problems! "

Albert wanted it, and it was the Emperor's secret that Abel had.

I don't know the details, but it would be easier for Alvaro to pull his hands. Originally, "Hide and Seek" was like a test of wisdom to believe the information.

"There are three promises, and we haven't been able to find them yet for the second time... but take a good look at them." I managed to get up to the top of the castle. "

"Hmm... by the way, did you see this place as a hiding place?" Not the other demonic young monk or anything like that. "

"Um, yeah, that's right. It just so happens that the 'Naraka with a good view' comes to mind.... there was one more thing I was thinking about."

Maybe Abel and the others are on their way.

Either way, sooner or later, Abel and the others will come to the Red Ribbon Castle. Subaru cheated on Louis' transfer and Ubirk's "advice".

However, it might be easier to convince Abel and the others of Louis' treatment if we keep our hands on him here. But if it still seems harsh, I'll take Yoruna as my ally.

But once I knew Louis' background, I didn't know how Yoruna would move.

"Anyway! I don't know, Albert. My... no, I wonder if you'll listen to our suggestion."

Shaking his head, Svalbard looks at Alvaro, chasing away the negative thoughts.

The reason we have pluralized ourselves is that this proposal for a rapprochement requires the cooperation of Yoruna. If Yoruna says she won't forgive Alvaro for tricking Tanza, Subaru's hard-thought proposal will be in vain.

However,

――――

Yoruna, with one eye closed and a smoke tube in her mouth, disagreed with nothing. I think the fact that you didn't disagree means that you respected Subaru's opinion.

Awesome, thank you very much. I want to thank you very much.

Whether it's the trust or kindness that Yoruna deposited with me, so as not to waste it.

"Mr. Albert."

Once again, Svalbard called Alvaro by his name, hoping to walk in.

At that moment, after receiving Subaru's expected black eyes, Albert picked up the ladybird with his finger. And he took the ladybug by the mouth, and sipped the contents of the wine till the last drop.

"Ahh, kid. Is that what you think right now, or is it what you think originally? I don't care..."

――――

"I don't want to throw it away in the middle of a once-in-a-lifetime battle. I don't want to hate it." --Are you stubbornly geeky? "

The strange old man with a lewd laugh crushed the candy in his hand and shattered it.

Svalbard took a breath as the shards fluttered.

Immediately thereafter--

"What is the stubborn remorse of the old murderer, who can't even take the hand of the boy?".

A long leg of flying Yoruna was swung down, and the Red Ribbon Castle Palace split into two.

△▼△▼△▼△

Feet wearing thick-soled wastewater rise high and fall straight down at high speed.

In an instant, the Heavenly Defense Palace, which was directly hit by the heel, bent, cracked and crushed after a beat, and roared and exploded as if it had been hit by an explosion.

With the blown roof tiles rising and the smoke rising, it was Yoruna who unleashed the intense blow by turning the hem of the mushrooms.

Yoruna, who leapt and dropped her heels in a row, was the result of a massive destruction that partially destroyed the castle.

Literally, Yoruna's heel collapsed and the beautiful landscape of Red Ribbon Castle was ruined.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!?

At that moment, Svalbard squatted with his head in view of the spectacular destructive power.

Almost, I wasn't involved in the destruction of the blown-up castle, but I was almost rolling off the roof with a huge sway.

However, Louis' arm was holding it back.

Ugh!

"Shit! Why is this happening?!"

Grasping his arms, Svalbard, who was in the middle of his waist, cried out with tears in his eyes.

A flickering smoke entered my eyes and I had tears in my eyes. By no means, it's not because Alvaro refused the proposal without knowing.

That's hard, but it's also hard--

Yoruna-san!!

"Stand back and don't get caught." Raw hatred, I'm not good at calming down, so I have to go. ─ ─ That said,

Yoruna didn't look back at Subaru's call from behind.

And Jorunah cut off the words, and she drew her foot, which was pierced into the roof, and took away the filth that was on the hem of the dust, and lifted up her head.

"Exactly, it's not a lightweight thing to do"

Immediately above Yoruna, the curtain of soaring smoke and tile fragments was distracted, and there was a small shadow that flew as it spun-albalt.

And Joruna's gaze was on him, and Albert laughed as if he had stripped off his teeth.

"I thought we said we didn't need each other's help... now I'm sure you don't mind anymore?"

"I'm not surprised you're going to be able to beat Wachi in this city. If you're so stubborn, don't give up your seat at the [Nine Divine Generals] back."

"Scarecrow! That's impossible." I think I'm going to live the longest in the [Nine God Generals]. "

In the air and on the roof, the two exchanged their gazes and stood up for each other.

Yoruna pushed the smoke pipe into her mouth, and Alvaro turned upside down in the air - the purple smoke that spurted out, and Alvaro, who kicked in the air, rushed in at an arrow-like speed.

"---!"

Albert's dazzling footsword bumps into Yoruna's purple smoke from the front.

The smoke from the smoke pipe, which was not supposed to have mass or hardness, received the Albalt's footsword and scattered the shock while showing a bending movement.

Looking at it, Albert deepened his smile,

"OHHHHH!!"

He spins his short leg at a high speed, and ten violent kicks are unleashed.

It was a purple smoke with a single shot, two shots, and a shock, but it was scattered one after another by the power of the kick. Finally, when the smoke scattered, it could not serve as a shield or armor.

Besides, it was a strange story when it was done.

"Interesting imitation." That's why I wrote it down in the technical manual. "

"I'm sorry, but I can't love anyone. I can't imitate Shinobi."

As soon as Albert broke through the smoke, Yoruna appeared on his side.

Yoruna leapt up to the hollow, and she waved a luxurious smoke tube in her hand, aiming at Albert's empty back of her head.

The length and weight of the blunt instrument were unreliable, but Albert took it in with his fast swinging arm - no, with the Kunai he had put in his arm.

Kunai, hidden in Alvaro's sleeve, shatters with a high-pitched sound.

Of course, it was the right material, but Kunai broke and Yoruna's smoke pipe was harmless. What exactly is Yoruna's smoke tube made of?

"Ka-ka, old people don't bother." It's such a mess, my daughters. "

"I can't deny that I have enough old men." But Alvaro doesn't really think that's true. That's right. "

I can't help it, let's just take care of ourselves.

While exchanging gestures, they threw lethal attacks into each other.

The blows from Joruna's slender arms and long legs, contrary to their beautiful appearance, are powerful enough to break even the walls of the city.

In contrast, Albert's attack was not flashy, and it was only a matter of letting Yoruna's attack go without making a fuss in between.

But--

"Apart from that, I don't need any castle breaking power to kill people." It's the ultimate, if you stick a long needle in it, it won't be caused by death. "

Well then, let's give it a try.

Albert's old-fashioned face melts into the sky under Yoruna's quiet provocation. --No, it started moving so fast that it couldn't be caught up in the eyes of an ordinary person.

There was a famous boxer from the past who danced like a butterfly and stabbed like a bee, but that was the first time that Albert had fought in a half-broken heavenly palace.

If we get closer, it might be better to fly around like a fighter and let go like a sniper gun.

"It's not like you fly around often." There's a little bit of yancha overdoing it. "

Alvaro's legs or stepped tiles explode, and at the next moment, Alvaro appears from another place and strikes Yoruna.

Yoruna uses superhuman reflexes to take or avoid them in smoke tubes. Both of them were transcendents, and Svalbard forgot to breathe in the fierce battle.

"Ahh...!"

Next to the Subaru, Louis shrinks his body as he sees the same sight.

When the battle had just begun, I was worried that Louie would jump out because I couldn't stand waiting in this situation.

But the battle between Yoruna and Albert is no longer in that dimension.

No matter which one wins, there will be terrible damage.

That's far too different from Subaru's ideal.

"But what should I do?" I can't stop it anyway...! "

With so much battle going on and the Palace falling apart, I'm sure you've seen what's going on in the castle for everyone in the city.

In this way, the city's people who admire Yoruna may sweep at them, or the pseudo-emperor's party, which is one of Albert's allies, may move.

When that happens, it's time to start a great war on the city.

That's not what Subaru wanted.

Even if Yoruna were to invite Abel to a big battle to return to the throne, what kind of tragedy would the battle that began with lack of preparation bring?

"Ahhhh!"

A high voice rose, and both feet of the rotating geeky old man pierced the roof in front of Yoruna. Immediately thereafter, the shock travels through the roof, Yoruna's feet explode, her body soars, and the first situation changes between what is in the sky and what has set her feet on the ground.

――――

Beneath Yoruna, who had risen to the sky, Alvaro threw his backsword at him.

I have no idea when I threw it. Either he threw Jorunah into the air, or he knew he would come before, and there was no escape.

Above the sky, Yoruna's soft skin and shuriken brutally scratch - No,

"I don't know." Wachi is not the lord of this city or the ruler of the Demon City. "

In response, Yoruna's surroundings were stopped by a shuriken that stopped the rotating blade.

It was Joruna, who moved at superfast speed, who made it possible. Yolna didn't even have to move. The one who stopped Shuriken was a piece of roof tile that was soaring in the sky.

I can't say that I'm lucky enough to be horrible.

That's because it can't happen by chance that more than ten shuriken swords from all sides, all of which can be seen by the tiles, can happen no matter what kind of luck.

Svalbard, Albert's vision, and Yoruna gently waved their arms at the sight.

Then, as her arm moved, the tile holding the backsword swam in the sky and stopped in the air to create a spiral staircase around her.

Gently, Yoruna's thick soles scaffold the tiles and slowly descend into the Heavenly Palace.

It was the scene of a sudden illusion or psychokinesis. Of course, it could be called magic, but it was a bit different from what Subaru knew.

Instead of fire and ice, wind and soil, they manipulated the parts of the building itself.

"Wow, that's really troublesome, you guys." This is it. Cecilus or Arachi said it was a magic trick. How could I do that? "

“I didn't say that. The mystery that you can't do to Shinobi who can't love other people...... I have to be a woman who looks like this and cares about things."

Smiling, Yoruna claps her free hands to her lips, stopping the smoke tube.

Then, on the signal, a change occurred in the half-broken Heavenly Palace. --No, that's not an easy change. It was a magic technique that distorted reality like a dream.

"I-It's..."

Louis clung to Subaru's breathless arm as his foot warped. While supporting his body, Subaru witnessed the restoration of the strange and partially broken Heavenly Palace that was happening in front of him.

Slowly, the building recovered as if it had made the video of the wound healing several times faster.

Yoruna, the user of Abel's speculated [soul wedding], and her words combine to make a hypothesis about what happened.

It's a very, very ridiculous story, but Jorna Michigre--

"Oh, I'm also using [Soul Marriage] on my castle...?"

Yes, I had no choice but to speak to the master of the demon capital who literally showed off the standard.
