Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

Chapter iv 46: locust plague

Seeing the smile directed at him, Subaru thought, for the first time, that Echidna was cute with vegetables.

There are no negative emotions such as intentions or sarcasm in the grin that loosens the mouth, which stems purely from favorable feelings towards Subaru.

If you have no doubt that you are a man of sight, and that person is treating you personally against this one, then that is the only thing that opens your chest collar.

Of course, I didn't let the important space already in my mind push the sentiments of Subaru, who has two girls.

"Still, the truth is that I was a little thrilled..."

"Did I just say something?

"I got in trouble for having the talent to dictate witches and stuff. I don't care if you're obsessed with someone you don't remember dictating to... uh, I'd be glad if the Six Witches wouldn't be bad enough to help me even outside."

Turning away and deluding, Subaru speaks of such convenience.

Only two people, Tefon and Minerva, have Svalbard actually seen one scale of that power, but the attacker and the recoverer will demonstrate that strength too much.

Though it is a thought to be healed with arms or beatings each time.

"Unfortunately, I can't interfere with reality after death anyway if I'm alive. This is the exception to the fact that I'm inviting you to the castle in my dream world."

"Wow. I was just trying to say something. Honestly, it's too much for you to listen to me."

At least, for spitting out what I was carrying, the spiritual disintegration seems distant. Doubts about 'jealous' witches could also dispel some.

As for the mysterious part I couldn't solve, I'll try not to think about it now.

than that,

"Can I ask you another question about 'Back to Death'?

"I can only speculate with my knowledge. If that's all right."

Echidna prefixing with a lot of rhetoric.

The big-time attitude that comes to mind on that look. But apparently, in the root part, the format of returning the answer to the question is fun and irresistible, and the feet slap the meadow in an early rhythm as if they can't wait for Subaru's words, and the fingers whisper their own hair.

rightization of intellectual desire, it's a lot easier to understand instead, while witchcraft wonders if that's okay with a corner of my head.

"When I" go back to death, "the point of resurrection from that" death "can change. So far... six places, huh? They're all back together in different parts of time. That, the terms on which the savepoint changes, that's what I want to know."

"Sounds like... changing the resurrection point, huh?"

"Basically, you can't go back to the previous point once you're off. As long as yesterday is the savepoint, I can't go back to the other savepoint yesterday if that deviates yesterday. You know what that mechanism is?

Subaru faces the problem as much or more seriously as the limit on the number of "Back to Death" times.

Changing the savepoint - that's an unclear part of the lack of relevance and conditions, even for Subaru, who is finding some use value in "Back to Death".

"I can go back even if I die...... I'm not going to be sweet about that and think no matter how many times I die. I don't mean to... but if I can only rely on it, I won't hesitate to rely on it. But"

What should Subaru do when he still finds himself in a situation where he can't get it back?

Through the back of his brain is the figure of Rem lying in the bed of the Mansion, still unconscious.

I didn't let Subaru's "Back to Death" bring her back, who was supposed to break up after the battle with the White Whale and rendezvous after the battle with Petergius.

Subaru won't forget when he poked his throat with a knife in front of her sleeping.

I still can't believe how short-circuited I am, that I just have the energy to beat myself to death by disappointment, etc. No, I lost my temper, so I hurt myself.

With blood all over his throat, Subaru perished amidst the frontiers of pain and breathlessness.

That's how I opened my eyes and came back just minutes before I slammed my throat.

I've never hated 'Back to Death' savepoint updates as much as I did then.

If he didn't have to lose Rem, Subaru would have challenged both the white whale and the madman many times.

No matter how many times you die at the end of it, no matter how many times you are beaten, you must have tried.

"I was wondering if you could tell me more about your situation when it changed."

"Oh, oh... right. Well, that's my first savepoint."

Reflecting on his memory on what was asked, Subaru briefly describes how he has' gone back to death 'so far and how and where he has wound up each time.

That means, in other words, much of the otherworldly life Subaru has experienced so far.

Would you have used nearly an hour of physical time to tell all the stories of the past two too thick months, even though it had been a long time between them?

"So, now in the graveyard... the save point is fixed just after we get past the first 'trial'. From what you just told me, this time too."

…………

"Do you know what it is? For a moment, I went crazy and Osama started a savepoint theory."

Cadmon, a fruit shop in Wang Du and a wounded shopkeeper, has for some reason twice been selected as Subaru's savepoint in this world.

Right in front of Rem, which may also count towards a second number.

"Anyway, it doesn't seem to me that people, things, time, are fluctuating under those conditions. If it's time, days and periods are falling apart, and I don't see any common parts for people or events. Conditions are completely obscure."

"Certainly, from my eyes, there is no commonality in the terms you spoke of. If so, what we need is to change our minds."

"Change your mind?

"I can't find the answer with the idea of going back there for some reason...... So why not think about going over there because we got a reason to get over it?"

"Got a reason to get over it...?

"That sounds more like a wall to be returned than a 'point of return', depending on what you think. Until I get over it, the wall that pulls you back in the form of 'death'. I don't mind a hole."

Subaru frowns at Echidna's words, then contemplates the meaning of the words.

Walls, or holes. With Subaru returning to the point of resurrection by 'Back to Death', Subaru has changed a number of situations that cannot be broken. It means that we couldn't cross without "Back to Death," and that's all the circumstances that ended.

And the "Back to Death" savepoint repositioned each time it changed the situation.

That is,

"'Back to Death' is fluctuating every time I change a situation I can't change...?

"In this case, 'Back to Death' is only a means. What thoughts make you feel about that means is one way of thinking about the existence that makes you do it."

"Let it be, existence means..."

Echidna nodded at Subaru losing her words, and when she bent her lips abominably,

"There are only 'jealous' witches. The witch who makes you 'go back to death' hopes to change the situation that you can only overcome by welcoming 'death'. And every time you get over that situation, you're changing it."

"But... well, I'm not convinced... there is. 'Cause then... what happens to Rem? I can't help him. If' Back to Death 'is the power to change the situation, how can it be at a time when you can't save Rem..."

It was also 'Back to Death' that overwrote the savepoint and made you lose your chance to save Rem.

Because of that, Subaru has been so constrained by the timing of savepoint renewals.

to that Subaru question. Echidna went on to say, "I'm sorry,"

"I don't suppose the 'jealous' witch has considered the person you speak of, Rem."

"………………"

"All a 'jealous' witch wants is for you to take off the fate of a stuck trail." Back to Death "is a means to that end, and I have not included in my thoughts the harm done to anyone but you. Saving someone with that power is all you want. The witch has nothing to do with it."

"Ah..."

"So let's be clear"

To Subaru beaten by shock, but Echidna overlaps words.

Subaru looks up at that white witch with his weak light floating eyes. Echidna, only once, when she glanced at him so that he could experience pain, shot Subaru through with his black eyes,

"As long as I don't change the problem of standing in front of you, the future of breaking through it and dying, your soul will necessarily come back to my grave. But suppose you tolerated a lot of sacrifices and changed your future on top of that..."

"- The chances of getting that sacrificed thing back are not coming around"

"... that's what's gonna happen."

Only Subaru herself will consider the 'jealous' witch.

If Subaru can survive the fate of 'death', then everything else is the end of the line for her. I believe that no matter how stuck you get, sooner or later only Subaru will find a way to survive in an infinite retry. No, not even Subaru will be allowed to give up.

Because all the conditions for 'going back to death' are in the hands of the 'jealous' witch.

"Fine... if that's what you're going to do and you're only going to kill me, I'm hungry."

…………

"You're giving me, 'Back to Death' is a blessing... I'll use it against you. I'll get to you at the end of it, and I'll get to you without taking one away. Oh, I've made up my mind. That's it. I'll do it. If I let someone else's thoughts betray me, I'm the best."

If "Back to Death" is due to the will of the witch, the use of it depends on Subaru's will.

Then let's pile it up, let's get over it, let's hold it up and run through it.

If the witch's love only saves Subaru, then Subaru saves everything else.

For the first time, Natsuki Subaru is rewarded with an arrow by a witch.

"Changing circumstances...... in other words, breaking down this' sanctuary 'problem and the mansion problem. If it is cleared,' Back to Death 'will change from this point no matter how much damage is done. I mean, if you're gonna clear it, you're absolutely conditioned to hold it all off and go over it."

"I don't know what I'm talking about, but isn't that pretty tough? You seem to have swallowed it a lot lighter."

"It was just clearly cultured that I thought it might be something that seemed thin. Instead of breaking my heart, I'm motivated. The invertebrate is with melamera."

I assure you, Echidna is outrageous in Subaru.

Watching the witch lose sight of the words that way, Subaru sounds the bones of her neck,

"As for" Back to Death, "I don't want to pack any more. Anyway, that was helpful, thank you."

"... my curiosity was filled with valuable stories. I don't owe you anything on that. Instead of flirting with knowledge, I'm just stating my reasoning."

"Now I want to rely on your knowledge."

There were many vague parts about "Back to Death" that just didn't apply to her knowledge. But the next question Subaru flies is not.

All this needed to be explained clearly, out of her mouth.

"How did you die this time when I 'went back to death'... you know what I mean?

"I haven't looked through that part, so I haven't. I'm experiencing multiple ways to die, your experience is very interesting... but I don't think I'm in the mood for that right now."

"I can't talk like a warrior without alcohol in it. Donna tea is all we have here, so we can't live up to hope."

"That's a shame.... to see how your flesh is outside, to a rather emotionally and physically painful death... you seem to have come to an end"

How to die, is it her own consideration that she stopped expressing?

Subaru faintly loosened his cheeks for such consideration, then immediately squeezed his expression and nodded "Oh,"

"I just remember it makes me tremble... but this time, they ate me to death"

…………

"Even in the dump, it's a tiny rascal the size of which seems to be on your palm. He seemed to be omnivorous and hungry. My whole body was worn out."

It replaces it with a gentle expression, but its misery is difficult to exhaust to the brush tongue.

Fangs devoured all over his body, flesh boned blood, and ravaged memories continue to claim wounds in deep parts of Subaru's spirit.

Subaru who is forced to suppress it and try to keep it calm somehow. on its subaru. Echidna put the back of her hand on her lips,

"... you ran into Taragi."

"Big raven?

"It's not 'big', it's 'a lot'. Turn the tortoise into a giant tortoise. One of the negative legacies left by Daphne, the" bulimic "witch - one of three."

"The Great Raven..."

It is the name of a warcraft that I have heard before, both from Julius' mouth and from Echidna's mouth on this occasion.

White whales, black snakes, and great ravens. They were all warcraft that threatened the world for four hundred years, even though they were under the authority of Daphne, the 'bulimic' witch.

"If you think you dropped the white whale, give me another big raven or something soon..."

"If the target is a giant rabbit, the target is too bad"

In front of Subaru with his head, Echidna's expression is dark when Subaru learns who the relative threat is. Subaru had a bad feeling about how she was doing.

"I had the same anxiety when I was a white whale...... which one seems to stick?

"A white whale would be far better than a white whale if compared with simple combat power. But if we're going to talk about which is harder to destroy, it's definitely the Great Raven."

"Hard to destroy..."

As when I was a white whale, Subaru was thinking of crusading somehow. To that Subaru answer, Echidna said, "Okay?" And when I put my finger up,

"There's a verse where you think of it as just a little more annoying, just like a normal warcraft."

"No, I know as much as I know they're not the kind of people that look good in such cute expressions..."

"The Great Raven is right and should be called a natural disaster. A chunk of instinct that always acts in a herd and moves only with an unfailing appetite. All creatures called creatures are bait for them, and they don't do anything but ravage the bait. After the Great Raven passes, all that remains is a deserted field. No crops, no fruits, no damage whatsoever. The only thing that eats it is creatures."

Subaru swallowed his throat at at the statue of Echidna's Talking Great Raven.

Echidna with a hard expression, Subaru already knows that the statement is not exaggerated.

An unmanned 'sanctuary', and a bunch of little ravens that have been devoured all over your body.

If that was the Great Raven, then the 'Sanctuary' desert is nothing more than because the Warcraft devoured all the inhabitants who were there.

Emilia, Ram, Ryus, Roswar, and not even Garfiel, turned into the Great Tiger, are exceptions.

Locust plague - such a word crosses the back of Subaru's brain on the fence.

Locust plague is a phenomenon known as the Great Incident of the Inago. It is not strictly about inago, but about a herd of bats that have undergone a special mutation, a scourge whose massive outbreaks devour the fields, waste crops and cause famine.

And the deeds of the great raven are nigh unto Subaru's knowledge.

Most importantly, unlike bats, it is the creatures themselves that the Great Raven devours, though an inexhaustible appetite poses a much more direct danger to life than locust plagues.

"Can't you somehow repel it?

"The strength of each and every one is no big deal, because I keep in mind that in the first place, I act in a herd. It doesn't make sense to get rid of an individual as much as it does, and more importantly, once you find your prey, you won't stop except eating or dying. Appetite itself."

"Wait, wait, wait. Yes, there are others... For example, if the Great Raven is to act in a herd, there must be a boss who heads the herd. If we take that down, the herd will collapse, won't it?

If it's the rules of the human world, if you take the head, that disintegrates the group Herd. If you think according to the rules of the animal kingdom, then maybe the second place just rolls up to first place.

Nevertheless, Subaru is not bright when it comes to the ecology of warcraft. There's nothing more to know than echidna. but she shook her neck to the side,

"You seem to be mistaken, but the Great Rabbit is a herd, but there is no concept of a boss. The only thing I really have in me is an instinct called 'appetite'. Eating other creatures to satisfy hunger, there is no other mechanism. The way to increase is to split and increase alone, and when there is no prey, they eat together and starve. I don't even have a sense of companionship."

"What is eating together... what the hell did you create such a monster for?!?

"Now, that's all because you don't know until you're the person who was born. At least Daphne herself has never been as obsessed with appetite as the Great Raven."

Subaru is wary of a different ecology.

Indeed, according to instinct, it is all the logic of the organism to eat other creatures and connect them raw. There will be no difference in that regard, human or animal, not even the Warcraft.

But that's not even true for the Great Rabbit, where individuals split and multiply and mate and make offspring. On the contrary, it keeps the growth to increase the herd and strays from the regular orbit, such as eating with its divided individuals to satisfy the hunger.

The Great Raven is a monster whose possibilities are completely over as a living creature.

"Assuming... yes, assuming we destroy the Great Rabbit, what do you think we should do?

"To be honest, how do we evaporate all the rain grains that descend? I think I have questions like that."

That's all there is to it, I suppose.

Subaru puts his hand on his forehead to Echidna's answer, causing dizziness at the height of the walls of the Great Raven overthrow.

"If you kill them all, you can destroy as many big ravens as you want."

"But that's too reckless an act. As far as I know, the only people who seem to be able to do that are Reid Astrea and Sekmeto. Reid would kill everyone without one left with an overwhelming sword move. Sekhmet would have destroyed it in a second."

"Those two, I've heard it before, but you're a real monster..."

Once before, I think of Sekumeto, who has had me on my knees.

From what Svalbard has seen, I can only remember being exactly the right witch for 'laziness', who can't wipe the impression of a hundred million for all kinds of motion in gloom.

"Wait, wait."

And, remembering the contact with Sekhmet, a fuzzy light floats in Subaru.

It was a pale and gloomy light, but enough to illuminate the darkness of the trail, and more importantly, only here could it ever be done without the help of Echidna.

"Echidna"

"Oh, my God, with a serious face.... No. I'm a dead man and you're a living one. The exchange of destiny here is a temporary illusion, a dream of foam. So no matter how hot my eyes are..."

"No, it's something exciting. It's bad, but not at all. Really, it's completely different."

Subaru once again cuts to the point, poisoned by an echidna that looks heartless or dismayed. It's

"Echidna, the 'bulimic' witch - I want you to meet Daphne"

…………

"Before this tea party you made me meet witches of 'arrogance', 'anger' and 'laziness'. I thought you said you were keeping all five witches."

"... collecting, yes. Of the five of them, the lifetime trajectory is certainly in me. If you put it down in a vessel called Me, it's certainly possible for them to live in the world. It's possible, though."

To Subaru's suggestion, Echidna frowns as troubled.

She let her gaze wander, then looked at Subaru like she couldn't say,

"I think you should stop seeing Daphne."

"Why not? I do think I've tasted enough of something like the witches' difficulty in the meantime, but I'm just ready for what I thought. Whatever comes out, I don't resent it."

"I resent you and Daphne before that, I think it's my idea that you and Daphne are very incompatible. You can say it sucks. So even if we meet face to face, I'm very confident that we can talk useful…"

"Things are a try. Trial and error, your favorite word."

Acting to get the answer, affirming it, Echidna said.

Echidna's expression on Subaru's words was like being poked in the pain with "uhh..." Subaru scratched her head like that, "And, yeah,"

"You're the one who gave me the heartbeat to say that this place doesn't have to worry about my life for now. I'm not optimistic, but at least if you don't have to worry about getting killed, I've decided it's not going to hurt to try."

"You're not denying the possibility of breaking your heart and becoming an abolitionist, are you?

"Before that happens, I believe you can pull me in. Come on, Echidna. If I ask you to do something else, you're the best, right?

Throw your trust in light-hearted words, Subaru thumbs up with his teeth glowing.

To that subaru's lightweight posture everywhere, gradually the colour of resistance is lost from Echidna's eyes,

"... ok. I'll let you meet Daphne."

"Hey, thanks."

"I'm just gonna tell you this. Never untie her restraints. Then it is also forbidden to touch her. I want you to avoid eye contact if you can."

"I feel bad about dying when I protect it all!

In the first place, there was a mix of words that could not be ignored.

Subaru makes words to ask them. - Before that, I'll be better prepared for Echidna.

That was the case last time, but when Echidna lowers the witch, it's a preliminary motion, or no such omen.

After the blink, another person exists in the space where she was.

And that was the same thing this time.

But...

"Dude... this is as much as it takes..."

Subaru groans so, letting his cheeks pull in front of that presence that appeared in front of him.

In front of me, in front of Subaru, is Daphne, a 'bulimic' witch.

- There's a witch girl who's been put in a coffin, and her whole body is harassed by a restraint, and her eyes are sealed with a hard, hard, black blindfold.
