Chapter IV.12: Tea Party Souvenirs
"The space you set aside has been crushed. This is so rambling...... I guess around Minerva. 'Cause she's just a little bit quick to get her hands on."
"A little...? I thought it was quick. He had new sensory violence tundele-based healing loli boobs. I'm overpacked. I'm hungry."
Turn your safely healed right arm from your shoulder and Subaru offends Echidna, who sits in the front.
The quality of the pressure I feel from a gray-haired girl hasn't changed. Still, I can't help but think that it did some good for her prospects.
"Well, I felt like talking to you across the street. Sure, you're more rational than the witches just now... no, only the lazy witches seemed to make sense to me if I did."
"Sekhmet is what I say, because he was the oldest and most rational of the witches. It's just that if I piss you off, it's not half the time."
"Are you afraid to be angry that you're not halfway there?
"No, we're not enemies when we're in a bunch. Probably couldn't beat her if five other witches, besides Sekhmet, conspired together."
Sitting back in his chair, Subaru sends a gaze of suspicion to Echidna, who tells him so.
Passing the back of her brain is a carefree woman with stretched red and purple hair. That person, who lacked vigor from the moments of his attitude, is plucked out and strong in the witch.
"I mean, from what I've heard, you feel like you're a jealous witch."
"- This is one piece of advice for talking to me."
When Subaru asked remembering a witch whose name never came up, Echidna stood one finger with a smile on her mouth.
Looking at Subaru gazing at its fingertips, she tilted her little neck,
"I consider the other witches my friends, and I think they deserve respect. I have many flawed personalities. Their presence for a long time was a stopover for me and a salvation. So I gather not a single soul of them."
"... I felt a little unlistened to, but go on"
"It was The Jealous Witch who destroyed those witches. - Can you laugh and speak of the existence that killed your own friend so miserably?
The smile remains the same. But its quality has changed.
Fear ran up Subaru's spine and, if he noticed, Subaru had nodded many times to affirm her opinion. looked it over, and she pulled her jaw, "I would,"
"You've got a little bad air. How about a cup of tea for a mouth job?
"... Donna, you don't have the courage to drink tea again. If you can't get a decent cup of tea, I'm not going to eat or drink here."
"It must have been an envy in my time to be invited to a witch's tea party... for Christ's sake, times and people are different"
They were trying to prepare it up to Subaru's minute, and the unfortunate echidna carries it in her mouth when she only adds tea to her cup for herself.
If she's right, the identity of the tea is her body fluids. I mean, you're drinking up your own generated body fluids.
"Don't listen to me like I'm a permanent institution by eating my own hun."
"It's somewhat humiliating to be made with them... yeah? Or is that a sign of willingness to go away and even listen to the story about the Great Raven?
"Big raven?
Tilt your neck. It's a word I've heard somewhere.
I turned my neck to explore my memory and remembered where the word was heard. Yes, that was definitely on Patrash's back running down Reefaus Avenue,
"The kind of warcraft that lines shoulders with a white whale...... was it? The big raven and the black snake?
"That's Daphne's negative legacy. All of them are problem children she was burning her hands too. Whatever the Black Snake is, I hear the White Whale and the Great Raven are working evil in people."
"By the way, if you were a white whale, you'd have just picked it up the other day because of my work. With my work."
With his thumb pointed at himself, Subaru swells his nostrils with his bragging face. and for the first time Echidna heard of it, she opened her black eyes to surprise,
"Heh, is that true? Wow, that's... From what you've seen, I don't see a sword arm or a single scale of talent as a wizard... but I guess it moved around so well"
"It's also a rush to be seen out in an instant that it's not solo destruction...! Maybe I did it alone."
"Whether it's a white whale or a giant raven, it's hard to imagine that there are people who can kill that one alone. Even in my day, it's probably about Reid."
Subaru raises his eyebrows at the appearance of a name he doesn't even know. I saw it. She put her finger on "Hmm" and its thin lips,
"Haven't you passed it on in this day and age? I thought his accomplishments were cool. At least he's the only one who can imitate cutting and dropping twelve dragons, including adults alone."
"Well, I'm a little bit of common sense, or a little shallow about general knowledge. I mean, wow, that guy. How much?"
"- Reid Astrea. You should have been given the title of 'Kensei', but now you don't have any left?
Echidna's words caught a piece disappointingly in the back of Subaru's brain.
Astrea - it is the family name of Reinhardt and Wilhelm, a family loved by a muscled sword god with active sword saints and sword ghosts, respectively.
Perhaps that first generation is Reid Astrea.
"Oh, I'm convinced. I'm staying, Kensei. I don't know what generation this is, but active Kensei is my dachi. Probably as monstrous as you know your ancestors."
"That's a lot to say to a friend... but I can't laugh at you knowing Reid's out of common sense. Well, was that the story of the Great Raven?
"Uh, no. I'm not exhausted with information about the Great Raven or the Black Snake..."
It's a sign that he wants to brag about his knowledge, but he stops at it and Subaru thinks. There are so many things I want to ask you, but digesting them all at the top doesn't keep up with Subaru's head.
Excerpts of just what you really want to know and would be in good shape to pursue them in detail.
First of all, from what I want to know most recently,
"Um, you're Echidna. Already deceased in The Witch of Greed. That's good, isn't it?
"You were the first to check. That's for sure. This is my dream, and you can call me when you want to go home."
"Thank you for your consideration. So, here's the question for now..."
Put your hand on your chin and stare at the gray-haired girl. She put her hands on those clear white cheeks as she showered Subaru's unclean gaze and said, "What?" I closed one eye.
"I think I should have checked first...... where are you the deceased in the first place. You're singing about the days of bursting."
"... oh, I see. You certainly didn't explain that point at all. I didn't touch that point until now. You did, but I did."
He slapped his hand, and Echidna just let him snort that the point had gone. Subaru scratches his head that he was crazy while showing his consent to her tricks like that.
I was also surprised by the impact of the witch appearance and the dodgy witches reunion that followed, which delayed me from even asking such obvious questions.
"A ghost in a graveyard, that's all right. That's why I felt so disturbed. When can't I do that?"
"Ghosts, you don't deny that. It is true that it is a lost mental body. Now, when you ask me why I'm doing this... right. For deterrence, that would be the most accurate answer."
"Deterrence...? What... No, what is more right about?
"Sharp."
Nodding satisfactorily at Subaru's answer, Echidna lets him applaud it small. Then she shows the sky, with her hands the blue sky of the crop,
"It is Volcanica - the Dragon Volcanica - that is connecting me to this land. Isn't that about what you've heard?
"... you do mean the dragon that you are making a covenant with the king of the kingdom of Lugnica or something. I heard that name in the hall of the king's race."
"It fits in that Volcanica. I am sealed in this cemetery by the power of the dragon. The reason Volcanica did that is, as you guessed, a deterrent to the Jealous Witch."
Echidna with a calm and sensible eye, but whenever the words' Jealous Witch 'are spinned from her mouth, the emotions in those eyes run only for a moment.
That would mean there's a huge gulf that exists between her and The Jealous Witch.
"It is still a 'jealous witch' to be sealed in a sealed demon stone, but her seal is not a tablet stone. It's not forever with Volcanica's lifespan, and it's not necessarily that the seal can't be unsealed in some clap. There are a few who believe in that, and I can't say enough that only some of the sealed demon stones will not be damaged due to a natural mutation. - Therefore, Volcanica leaves my presence"
"When the 'Witch of Jealousy' is resurrected, as a force against it..."
"I don't think the remaining witches will live up to Volcanica's expectations. You should have left Sekhmet if you wanted to. I guess the problem is that Volcanica herself had sex with Sekhmet. He was uncomfortable with being hit by an octopus."
Echidna laughing lightly about the cause between the dragon and the witch, but Subaru who was asked about it is not laughable.
It didn't seem like a scale where the groove between the dragon and the witch is told like a little mistake in the relationship, and I don't know how far you can believe the story of 'Lazy Witch' turning the dragon into an octopus punch in the first place.
Svalbard pushing silence without knowing what to say. In front of Subaru like that, Echidna inherited the word "whatever,"
"Me, the witch, and the dragon Volcanica. And then there's 'Sword Saint' and... a wise man. If that's all we have for now, we might be able to counter it, even if 'The Witch of Jealousy' ever came back to life. Is that what Volcanica wants? It's in that context that I'm still exposed to post-mortem shame."
"I mean, can it be the dragon that's making you a self-contained spirit?
"It's precisely where Mazers' manners connect Volcanica's will. You know more about Mazers than I ever got here, right? Or maybe I don't even have this family name left anymore..."
"No, Mazers stays. Lords of a belt, including this cemetery, by Roswar L. Mazers. So, are you my employer, my guardian or my pervert..."
Svalbard haunts his mind about how he described Roswar, as he is stunned by the depth of his engagement with the witch. but apart from such a Subaru stray, Echidna shook its well-shaped eyebrows pictorially, "Roswar?," he muttered.
"I'm sorry, did I just say Roswar?
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, it's Roswell. That, you know?
"If I knew, it would be weird. Anyway, I was around four hundred years ago. If there was that person in the same era, the story would go a little crazy"
Subaru also agrees with her allegations. To Subaru, who points his lips and reminds him of the dogmatic aspect, Echidna puts her finger on his lips, "Right," then
"What do you mean by" rosewire "is someone with long stretched dark gray hair? The color of my eyes... I thought it was yellow."
"- No, then you're not. Do I know Roswar has a blue hair color - or the same color as the jeans I wore? And the color of my eyes is different. He has blue and yellow eyes and different colors."
Subaru leaks a soothing exhale at the difference in characteristics, then thinks fu.
Roswar told Subaru that it has taken over the management of this land, the 'sanctuary', from generation to generation. That would mean that we have also taken over the covenant with Volcanica, which seals Echidona in this cemetery.
The role that the clan has inherited from generation to generation. For example:
"A little bit, maybe Roswar's name is also an assault ceremony. Occasionally, if a girl is named after a man, she looks closely at a comic strip with that set up."
"What will succeed Roswar,? So, that's a little nightmare."
I nodded as I was convinced by Subaru's reasoning, then Echidna shrugged her shoulders as she peeked some tiredness. "No," she said, as Subaru frowned at her unseemly attitude,
"I know a man named Rosewire who's a little over the road. There was a danger that I could devote my life to a certain purpose. Assuming he stayed the same after my death..."
"I can't get tired of just my whole life, that I might be dedicating myself to it until the time of my clan?
"That's what I mean. No, that's just horrible thinking."
In the words of it, there is a smile in Echidna's mouth.
Was it Svalbard's mistake to look at it as if it were a parent watching a badly made child? Either way,
"I know why you're in the cemetery and who's doing that. I'm going to ask the modern version of Roswar when I wake up from my dreams."
"Be my guest.... So, any other questions?
"Of course there is. The next thing I want to hear, it's a trial. I hear it's going to take place in this cemetery. Trials. I want you to let me know what that is. And if you do, give me some exemplary answers."
"It's merciless of you to ask the subject an answer along with the question statement, you."
"Have fun. I hope you will. If you can make a shortcut, there's no reason not to. I'm a guy who plays games watching offensive sites."
Because the second week after the event was retrieved, it smelled like trouble.
and aside from the miscellaneous Subaru beliefs as such a player, Echidna closed her eyes as she contemplated, opening her eyes exactly five seconds later.
"It was a trial."
"Oh, yeah. What, you're talking about getting tested. If you can't clear that, my precious girl will be in trouble. You can't get out of the Sanctuary if you're homesick. Of course, I don't have a choice to leave her."
Something like a junction strewn around the 'sanctuary'. If that is to deny her entry or exit, then Subaru, who will not be played, is not going to go in or out again.
She breaks through the trial and the two of us go through that wall together.
Let's do whatever we can for that. Even if it
"Even if it's canning!
"I'm sorry that you're putting me in the mood, but I don't know about the trials. I'm not involved. So I don't know what it is."
"Why not!
Subaru exclaimed when the momentum was stopped immediately. Hearing that, Echidna shook her head sideways saying, "I don't know what else to do,"
"Do you know where this place is? It's my cemetery, isn't it? I mean, this cemetery was built after my death. And I'm guessing your trial will take place inside this cemetery? I mean, the graveyard trials were made after my death. There's no way I can interfere with the deceased already, is there?
"We just had a conversation, and now I'm not convinced!
"Either way, I'm not the one in question. So I can't answer about the trials. I'd rather let you know about the trials. The content, the propensity to appear, the sorting of the answers and of course the answers to the questions and the curiosity endless"
"The Witch of Greed" begins to shine her eyes and shine her eyes in her knowledge.
Hitting a sigh of honesty on that desire, Subaru decides he can't help pulling any more talk about the 'trials'.
When that happens,
"I don't really want to ask you anything."
"... Huh? You're lying, right? That can't be right. 'Cause I'm, like, The Witch of Greed, right? Everyone in the world has been looking for my knowledge. I can't believe you're free to ask questions in front of me..."
"Because you, the deceased, you don't know much about your post-mortem, do you? There's so much going on that I want to ask, I don't care if you ask a meaningless question to an ignorant person around..."
"No, no, no, let's calm down. Sure, there's nothing in the world that you don't know about now, but if it's the old days instead. A number of memorable histories of no one, weathered over four hundred years. Isn't that your chance to find out? So is the story of the witches ahead. I don't even have a record anywhere in the world anymore."
"But I'm not much of a witch. They say they're all deceased even if they ask, and they have a lot to think about, so I don't know what to hear about it..."
"Yep..."
I see Subaru entering the stream where I really want to free up, and Echidna is more face to face with the lack. Two people whose positions are completely reversed.
Nevertheless, it is true for Subaru. There is no such thing as an interest in how much the witches did wrong in the past and how great they were. I'm not really interested based on the point that it's nothing that happens when I hear it.
I don't know if there is any other useful information that I can get out of Echidna.
"Oh, speaking of which, I only remembered one"
"Yeah, yeah! Fine, that's right. Yes, there will be. You can ask me anything. If there's anything I can answer, let's answer it. Come on!
For the sake of being scorched, Echidona's way of eating up to Subaru's questions is not half as good.
No matter what they say about being a witch, Subaru remembers the 'sanctuary' while thinking that human odor doesn't go away at the root,
"I'm a resident of the Sanctuary, where this cemetery is located, and he called it an experimental site or something. Hi, I hear you mean the experimental site of" The Witch of Greed, "but it's called having a connection that won't let you get away with the half, what kind of experiment were you doing..."
"I can't tell you"
"I wish I could hear it..."
But the question had just been truncated by Echidna, who had erased his expression.
Subaru unwittingly pushes silence at the attitude of having no island to attach to. Seeing that Subaru reaction, Echidna looked like she didn't realize the cleavage of her words.
"I'm sorry I put it badly. But there are things I can't tell you. I can't answer that question. I can't tell you, I don't want to tell you."
"... that's not a good impression word, is it, experimental ground? But you don't deny it."
"I want you to stop there. I don't want to be despised."
Eyes down, Echidna refuses to pursue any further.
An overwhelming witch lowered her shoulders and begged Subaru to do so. If I heard that, I would have had to give up pursuing it any further.
Instead, I spent the back of Subaru's brain in the
"Speaking of which, your name... I've heard it before I got here"
…………
Echidna, who keeps silent. In front of her, Subaru touches her forehead to recall her memory. The name of "The Witch of Greed" Echidna. That was the name that had plundered Subaru's ears several times before he came to the 'Sanctuary'.
Among other things, the first thing I heard about it was:
"Pack."
Subaru has been killed three times by that Great Spirit in a loop that began with the Wang capital. Abominable but most bitter memory, the time he was killed to be nabbed by a huge pack.
That's when her name popped up during a conversation between Petergius and Pack, who was going to freeze to death. Although the consciousness of Subaru, which was a dying state of gravity, was not certain, and I could not recall it to this day.
Listening to Subaru groan, who had searched out that memory, Echidna looked up.
"Pack......? No way, that's from the Cat Spirit......?
"-!? Yes, I am. It's a cat spirit. Pac, you know what?
"Know it or not...... is he here? If so, how far does he go to remember?
Even Subaru gets an unexpected reaction to Echidna surprised by the unexpected name. She stands fast and then quickly shuts up.
When Subaru can't say anything about that impatient attitude, she meditates and ponders further as she thinks.
Subaru tried to raise his gaze as to how words should be connected,
"- Huh!?
Pretending, he was deprived of consciousness by claiming that something hot existed at the bottom of his belly.
"... oh, ah?
The feeling of getting your stomach burned by the sagging heat. Subaru puts his hand on his abdomen with a groan, fluttering his legs on the spot.
The pain of falling prey is unusual. Amber conveys the edge of her mouth to the pain of a mystery that is not comparable to abdominal pain or anything else. I couldn't stand, I knelt down on the spot, and I immediately fell over.
Subaru like that,
"Oh, looks like it's finally working."
and Echidna staring down at him with cold eyes.
As she slowly walked over to the stuffy Subaru, she broke her knee and put her face closer to the falling Subaru, paying for the forehead of the Subaru that was making her mouth puffy,
"If you've been invited to a witch's tea party, don't speak of what was served cheaply. - I guess you've learned."
"Oh, my... no way, even the poison..."
"That's not true, is it? Did I tell you? What you drank was my fluid. [M] Some of the witches are fundamentally different from humans and so on. I took it in."
With the word bodily fluids, and subsequent exchanges, Subaru thinks of the fact that he underestimated its contents. The result is the current state of suffering and boredom.
Eyes open, Subaru stares at Echidna. Where did the friendly attitude go earlier? What the hell is she doing this for?
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this to you with hostility or malice. Instead, I prefer your presence. That's why you drunk part of me."
"Wow, let's talk, let's talk..."
"To be brief, I've applied my hand to make it easier for the sleeping witch factor to get used to in you..."
"Witches, factors......?
Still scorched by endless heat, Subaru desperately repeats the word.
- Witch factor.
The word is also a word I have heard several times.
At one point, Petergius did. And sometimes again, the word Beatrice spoken.
"You would have killed the 'Jealous Witch' apostle, wouldn't you? On the death of that apostle, the witch factor slipped into you. … but there seems to be something else in you."
"That's what I'm familiar with... what,"
"Come on, I wonder what happens. To be honest, I don't even know. I just don't know when it's going to explode. The concern to keep the bomb going off before the damage gets bigger, I guess. If that's all you can do in your dreams, I guess you can just relax for as long as you don't go out and explode."
Speaking openly, Subaru brightens his sight to the pain that his consciousness is about to fly. But even in that, Subaru slowly lifted his arms, pointing to Echidna,
"I just thought..."
"Yeah?"
"Yours, the way you talk... you look just like the pack. The cat spirits don't even read the air, relax and talk like that..."
When he heard Subaru's words squeezing out, Echidna only let him squeeze his eyes for a moment.
And then immediately he sneezes his face and puts his hand on his stomach and bursts into laughter like he heard an extraordinary joke.
"Ha! Ha ha! Oh, my God. Well, that's nice! You're amazing. I really do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, haha! I see, I'm with the pack. Yeah, yeah, I guess so. I guess so. Naturally. From him, I would have been the only one who could have set an example."
"What?"
Saying, trying to go on, Subaru couldn't go on with it.
The pain did not deprive the whole body of consciousness to scorch. The suffering, which seemed to last forever, was only marginally at ease and the end was beginning to be visible.
But apparently more than overcoming this suffering,
"Seems like the time of the meeting is over."
Gradually and gradually, the contours of the world blur in Subaru's sight.
Blue skies, green meadow hills. The white table and chair they were enclosing were beginning to make it impossible to tie the statue.
"When you're done, you have to try to..."
"Real time has reached its limits. I guess the one you call 'trial' is about to start. When it starts, all the graveyard functions will be directed towards you. You can't leave a ghost alone."
In a mild tone, Echidna strokes Subaru's forehead as he falls in.
to Subaru, unable to resist or react. She laughed,
"Well, we're going home from the witch's tea party. How much would you like me to offer you?"
"... let me tell you, I'm a strange piece of shit."
"It's not money. The consideration... right. Out of mouth ban on this space, so what do you think? You seem to have the same contract, and it's cheap stuff, right?
What does that mean, and there's no time to ask.
She whines in a small voice about something, keeping her finger on Subaru's forehead. And when I wondered if that touched fingertip had heat, it twitched. It instantly transmitted heat all over Subaru's body to give Subaru an incredible understanding.
the content of the contract and the non-intrusive unilateral agreement, its link.
"On your own, do...!
"To the story of the past, the fixation of the witch factor. I think it's too cheap for these. And I don't know what to say, but I'll put one on you."
Laughing at the outraged Subaru, she transmits yet another fever from her fingertips as she remains touched.
And the result of that fever is -,
"I'll give you the right to take the graveyard test."
――
"With this, you can take the night's graveyard trials, too. Whether you take it or not is your freedom. I can also not take it. But you got the option of being tested instead of your precious girl. - Whatever you do, do as you please."
The collapse of the world begins, with a little underfoot melting into darkness.
Only this time was the end of the world really approaching.
And in an ending world, Subaru looks up at Echidna as he lays asleep.
Girl with an unwanted contract, pushing for a consideration she's not looking for, and laughing at Subaru without a vice - oh, that's not too much,
- You're a witch, after all.
"- Oh, I suppose so. I'm a bad wizard, huh?
At the end of such an exchange of orders, Subaru's consciousness is bounced from a dream.
Falling, falling. Gone, gone.
Bounced from a dream, it surfaces.
And Subaru's consciousness - freed him from the witch's dream.
