Chapter II.39: The Promise of Late Night
The search for the Night Forest continues, accompanied by a rem of a battle posture on one hand by the iron ball of "For Protection".
The moonlight is blocked by the trees, and the darkness of the pitch-black falling forest is deep. A bloody abrasion occurs all over the body as it avoids the trees that stand on its way, scratching the branches and proceeding.
On the stinging and painful little wounds, the frustration of a dark search that goes on by hand through the darkness.
The mental pressure they exert on Subaru, including the lack of time, is enormous.
"Honestly, it was too unexpected to be dark. Lemrin's fine."
"In the woods, in the mountains, there's shelter… don't speak too loudly than that. Keep your breath down, and your heart beats loud."
"and Ma Ru..."
Continue slowly on the back of the preceding lem, arguing with a low voice and separating each sound.
Without her, she would even have lost her position and been stuck by now. Do you have a good night's eye, the footsteps of the moving lem are light and there is no stray.
He's treading me through the dark forest, which doesn't even look blurry in Subaru, as he paves the way for subsequent Subaru to be walkable.
The moonlight is even at the bottom of a distant darkness, and the only thing you can rely on is the back of a lem going forward. The little body in front of it looks big, and I accidentally pick the hem of that made-up garment with my outstretched hand.
"... what are you doing"
"I accidentally stumbled upon the subtlety of darkness - a diagram of"
"If you want to grab it so it doesn't slip away, make it more of a proper shoulder or something"
"I don't want to get in the way of my back going without hesitation. But I can't indulge in finesse. You have such a faint maiden heart..."
"Which mouth is like that...... just a little while ago, it was cool"
Rem in such a way that he is frightened and speechless. She stops her leg without picking that hem on Subaru, and she is squeaking her nose small as she looks around.
pointing to the police dog's trick,
"I've been doing this for a while now, but can't you imitate chasing me with the smell?
"It's the least delusionable part. Even if your body and voice are false, they can't be false."
Let me assure you, Rem's words are full of confidence. So I just hope her sense of smell gets to the Subaru's goal.
Looking at her like that, I feel like I've had the only conversation with Rem before based on the smell. At that time, yes, 'Smells like a witch' must have been viewed as a problem. From Subaru, that's what Rem said when he smelled abominable.
In retrospect, I remember Beatrice saying similar thoughts about Subaru. Things are unforgivable right now, but if things are cleared up and remembered...
"-! Close, it smells like a creature"
Next to the contemplating Subaru, Rem narrows his eyes with his face to the right. Subaru also looks in the same direction, but the only thing that spreads is the darkness that never changes.
I looked back to Rem with some terrible thoughts about it,
"Is that the smell of the kids!?
"I don't know, but it doesn't smell like a beast"
"That's all I know. It's superior. Let's go!"
"This way."
He also chases Subaru as he grabs the hem of his clothes to a lem who runs out low.
No heart or there was a tone that played in Lem's voice as well. I saw it in the dark, my footsteps are unconscious in the literal light.
Most of all, anticipation and anxiety are backwards.
Lem's unconsciousness, who did not affirm that the smell he captured was children, would also be because he did not know it and admitted his anxiety.
That's why the two of us needed to find the answer as soon as possible.
Lem, who goes forward, violently waves the iron ball in his hand, choosing a tree that stretches wide enough to make his way. As tedious as its cumbersome doings were, there was a strong sense of impatience, and Svalbard, who chased after him, also had a strong kick to tread naturally on the ground.
My breath runs out and my legs get heavy. But the consciousness is clear. Gradually, the eyes begin to get used to the dark, and the sights of the forest begin to appear only slightly in Subaru's sight.
And the sight of Subaru opened in front of me on the lid. There was a space in the woods where the trees opened their mouths. The sky is open there with small high hills, and the moonlight that plugs in even creates a fantastic atmosphere.
Such a small high green hill, in that place that benefits from the dazzling light of the moon-,
"Children!
Sleeping on the green floor, there was a figure of children throwing their limbs out and sleeping.
Running over in a hurry, Lem and I will see if the children are safe.
There are six of them all down. I don't see any trauma on my skin as far as I can see, I'm unconscious of everyone but I haven't stopped breathing.
"Alive. - He's alive!
In time, Subaru solidifies his fist and raises his drink.
but Lem, who was watching the girl sleeping beside him, prefaced with "no,"
"I still have breath now, but the debilitation is too harsh. Not like this..."
"A debilitation... a curse!
If you look, the children's complexion is pale, and their rough breath is gasping like a fish up the hill. He had a terribly cold sweat on his forehead and a bitter sleeping face to be annoyed by nightmares.
spell - objectively watched it hit himself and many times, Subaru bit his lips off,
"Can't you do something about it? Can't Rem de-curse?
"Very much in Rem's arms... at least if my sister is watching this place"
Just like Subaru, who is rushed by impatience, Rem also regrettably acknowledges his lack of strength. But she immediately shook her head to shake off that weakness,
"Anyway, I'll do the magic of healing, even if I'm resting. We need to regain some strength."
"Oh, please. What am I supposed to do?
"Be on perimeter alert. And gather the children in one place."
Follow Rem's instructions and line up the children in front of her. Seeing painfully the children breathing in agony, Rem used an iron pattern on the ground to carve a circle.
circle in the shape that wraps the children softly, kneeling on its edges and touching their hands,
"Heal the water, give it its blessings -"
Following the chant, the light, pale and blue, rises in a crude circle, softly covering the bodies of the sleeping children, slowly letting that light soak into their bodies.
A gentle and gentle twinkle, even felt by Subaru, who lacks magical knowledge, that its brilliance is a wave of healing.
Over time, the light penetrated the children's bodies and gradually began to turn into something slightly but serene, breathing, which was bitter.
"Wow, Rem. If this..."
"I told you, rest easy. You may be fine within being spoken to by the mana in your body like this, but if that dries up, it won't even be a first aid. We need to get rid of the underlying causes as soon as possible."
"Uncurse, right. That's the only way to get back to the mansion and rely on Bear and the pack. All right, let's go back. Take charge of the children..."
- Subaru?
Shortly after consolidating his readiness for immediate retreat, Subaru is surprised when the pretense calls his name. If I turned my gaze toward my voice, there was the figure of a brown-haired boy with thin eyes.
Apparently the boy regained consciousness, reflecting Subaru in his eyes, gasped in agony,
"Subaru, Suba......"
"You're up, Luca. All right, good boy. Strong boy. But I'm sorry. I'll take you home right away and let you sayonara for a painful reason. You can leave it to me, now rest for good..."
"One, behind... yet... behind"
"... hey, what the hell?
Luca tries to tell her something without interruption.
Feeling something unmissable in that fragmented information, Subaru asks again. but that voice does not reach Luca, who closed her lid again and lost consciousness.
Subaru made a small, "damned" vice, then turned his gaze to the back of the woods,
"At noon, if the kids who were in that place are missing... Oh, Chickshaw, seriously. I don't see her."
Six people sleep in this place, all children who know their names. but what is lacking in this place is the girl who led Subaru to her puppy place during the day. Is it a pull-in idea, an insipid kid who couldn't quite get into the circle of Subaru's.
I don't see that kid anywhere. And Luca, with a slight return consciousness, did not say "help" or "pain," but told him that "the child was taken to the back".
A child who could still not reach the age of ten is still in a life-threatening condition, but cared about the safety of his friends, not himself.
"Fuck you."
Again in bad shape, Subaru rises to the spot.
Subaru looks back to Rem, who floats a question mark, and pokes his finger at him and asks if he hadn't heard a bad exchange with Luca.
"Question, Rem. Can we extend the time limit if we let the children do the magic of healing?
"… the status quo, is possible. But really, that's just gonna buy me some time. Lem's gonna be on the spot."
Subaru's intentions are unreadable and the corresponding Lem's words are badly toothed.
Listening to it, Subaru's brain spins dizzily. What should I do? How can a useless self move best in this setting?
There is only one means I can come up with. I'm going to have a pretty good beating, but...
"Rem. One of the children is still being taken in the back. I think there's an example of a warcraft there."
"Back...... but if they took one at a time it would be"
Stop Rem trying to mouth his worst imagination with the palm he offered. to her sealed with words, Subaru wrinkled between her brows,
"I know the situation is bad, too. But I thought it was pretty fucked up. I managed to pick up the children's lives. Then you shouldn't make an effort to pick up the rest, should you?
"Greedy, you might spill it down to what you were supposed to be able to pick up and go back."
"So you're a lem to not be, right?
The eating lem snorts. in front of her. Subaru spread his arms,
"With Rem's arm, you can't even run away with six kids, can you? Conversely, I was going to be proud of my power there too, but I can't take charge of six kids. Two at best, I can't. All three of them. I can't use healing magic, and right now, there's nothing I can do here. Then you should make the most of your empty pawns."
…………
"I'll look in the back. Rem will take the children and return to the village once. - Hey, I'm not impotently reckless, and I can't. If I leave the children with the villagers, I hope Rem flies back"
Rem listens silently to Subaru's unscrupulous argument.
that her gaze was never soothing, but Subaru's lips rose with a mouthful of eight cloves,
"The kid in the back... what, if it's the worst, I'm turning back too. But if there's still hope, I can buy you some time."
"You don't know what kind of person they are, and you don't even know how long Rem might be back. Worst case scenario is that you can't lose sight of it and rendezvous..."
Is Subaru's judgment difficult to accept, Rem grabs Subaru's sleeve and recruits him.
Are you guiding this one, or can't you swallow a purely reckless Subaru proposal?
With pleasure that it was the former, Subaru smiles bitterly and takes her fingers off her sleeve. Then I took her finger off,
"Hey, I'm not gonna lose you."
"Based on what..."
"Even if it's based on grounds."
laughing, Subaru touched her nose with his fingers, then pointed at her face,
"Nose, you're confident, right? With that in mind, I've actually been pointed out a few times around the L rin and V child that it smells pretty good on my nose."
Shut up and open your eyes Rem.
Double-pushing her fingers at that stunner of hers, to one day Rem, so that this Rem may return interest to her who does not know,
"Even if no one else notices, you're the only one who notices my smell. It stinks in me, and it smells like the rest of the blame. - Right?
"Subaru... how far, know...?
"Come on, I don't know. It's just something. I don't know. That's why yesterday, today, tomorrow, I can't quite get to the answer I want no matter how many times I repeat it."
To the sudden way the topic flies, Rem looks like he's caught in smoke. I don't think I can help her react like that. On the other hand, I'm amazed there at my own mood that can make this thing a laugh.
Oh, my God. Well, I want to compliment myself that it's finished with a diagrammatically thick nerve.
"Like you have so much to ask me, I have so much to ask you, too. So we'll talk when it's all cleared up. In each other's rooms all night, late night girls talk in their bedtime clothes. Promise."
That's how I'm forced to tangle her fingers with my own, which I kept in my hand.
With his pinky and pinky fingers involved, Rem sees Subaru with bewildered eyes. Subaru waved his tangled fingers up and down in front of such a lem,
"Yu-bi cut," he said.
"Yes, what's that...?
"It's a ritual of promise for my hometown. If you break it, you will be drank a thousand needles. One damage can take a thousand rounds, so an RPG with only three digits of HP would be an instant death move."
convoluted, Subaru's words and actions no longer transcend Rem's understanding. To the bewildered and unspoken lem, Subaru prefaced himself with a "dull spot,"
"I believe in Remrin. So I want to act too so Lemrin can believe me. Let's make a commitment to that now."
――――
"Told you? I keep my promises, and the nature of making them keep. So he said he didn't have to worry."
"What pu..."
Finally, he can't get over it and laughs powerlessly as Rem spills a sigh of fright.
Can't kill off the urge to laugh as it is, Rem keeps laughing small, and Subaru also laughs with his voice killed again as he was caught by it.
And so he laughed a little, and finished laughing, and raised his face, Rem,
"I promised, I did. - Really, let me ask you something."
"I'll tell you anything in my first love's name. Except for the name of the child you like in the current progression."
"I already know that."
"You can't reach me in person!
Somewhere, interacting with her like I was leaving her.
Reproduce it and Subaru gets his satisfaction. Rem also said, with a serious face,
"I'll be right back. Never, ever be impotent. Because Emilia will piss you off."
"Emilia, I'm sorry I got mad at you, too, let's be careful. - Besides, it's okay. I've had a lot of ghosts today."
"Ghosts, crap...?
"There's a ghost version of God! My favorite these days!
A new posing that crosses arms, opens legs, and grabs a void.
What did Rem think of the subaru's meagre vanity?
She doesn't mention that Subaru attitude,
"See you later"
and leave a word and hold the children together. The way a little girl takes on that little shoulder and six people, albeit young, is street art, and Subaru laughs as she drops off her back away in this situation.
In the woods, only one was left on a small high hill, exhaling deeply in a world where silence fell, Subaru slowly turned in the direction of the matter,
"What are you going to do, Mr. Subaru?"
I told him to excite himself about to tremble, chewing his promised little finger hard before running out.
- Is it despair, hope, or waiting for where you're going?
The morning of the fourth day, which should have arrived many times, is now far away.
