Chapter IV: 59: The Sweet Baked Confectionery and the Unsweet Tale

"... a long time, you're home early"

The long-sleeved maid, who opened the main entrance to the mansion and welcomed the returning Subaru, grumbled so as she rounded its sharp eyes.

"I'm going to have to give you back a little bit. Two days...... no, it's been three days? We had an early reunion and no contact, but you're accepting."

Subaru answers with half a day of travel fatigue on the back of a breathless patrash. I looked up at Subaru on the dragon and made him look pale whilst tapping lightly - Frederica covered her mouth with her hands with that fang peeking snugly,

"I don't mind. When and no matter what kind of visitor you are unable to give you a complete hospitality, you are broken name as your husband's squire. If you are an underground dragon, we will return you to the stables, so Master Subaru goes to the mansion. I'll take care of Petra."

"You don't have to worry about me that much... oh, no, please"

Responding down from the top of the patrash, my knee is about to collapse when I land. I grabbed the reins and got nothing, but the burden seemed to be on me more than I thought.

Naturally, too - after flying from the 'Sanctuary' to this point on an insomniac break, Subaru's flesh was in a state of all-night dawn when he left the 'Sanctuary' in the first place.

Even with the "protection of the windscreen" and the care of Patrash, who was sneaking care not to strain the rider, the strain placed on Subaru's flesh by the journey of more than six hours is enormous.

Noticing his body being more rattled than he thought, Subaru honestly accepts Frederica's suggestion. depositing the reins with Frederica, stroking Patrash's worried back,

"It's okay, it's okay. You're the one who thanked me for being so selfish with you. When you go to the stables later, I'll brush you up and work for you."

Unlike horses and others, the earth dragon prefers brushing that is brushed to rub hard skin. Patrash was no exception, and Subaru, who had eaten a nose attack from the front, backfired "ghoulishly" as he gained momentum and nose as excited about Subaru's confirmation.

"Oh, how are you? Then let's come, Patrash. I'll lay back the straw and get the bed ready for you."

"Oh, please. - Yes, Frederica."

"Yes?"

Drawing Patrash's reins, Frederica takes the dragon toward the stables. When Subaru called off that back, she stopped her legs and turned around with only her neck.

A vicious facial heart tender maid, rocking long blonde hair. to that girlfriend. Subaru rattled the bones of her neck and then

"- Today, aren't you planning on going to the mountain hut?

…… No, but what's wrong with that?

In response to Subaru's low voice inquiry, Frederica answered with a strange voice. Paying attention to all of her answers, facial expressions, and gaze, Subaru shook her neck sideways saying, "No,"

"If you don't want to, fine. When you're done taking care of Patrash, I'm sorry, but can we get you back to the mansion right away? There's something I'd like to talk to you about, including the Sanctuary."

"Okay. I'll be right back."

Bow carefully and Frederica will leave the spot with Patrash this time.

Seeing as she becomes invisible from the mansion's front yard, Subaru looks up at the mansion as she stretches out on the spot. - Unchanged beauty, the shortest mansion back on the second evening.

The evening of the sixth day at the slowest time and, if earlier, the night of the fourth.

Either way, the end visits the shape of the blade together.

Before that...

"We have to find a way to end this before the end arrives."

Too much has been sacrificed for that this time.

Subaru needs to have something to reward for the grief that leaves him in a vanishing world.

Garfiel's crying, the unseen Emilia's grief.

Because it gives Natsuki Subaru the readiness to turn away from the pain and keep fighting.

"Wow! That was a long time ago, you were home early!

It's the first thing Petra said when she welcomed Subaru back to the mansion, sparkling her face and full of adoration.

It is an easy-to-understand good example of the fact that even though the content and the text are almost identical to that of Frederica, the amount of affectionate affection put in differs only in the portion of the bond that has accumulated.

"Looks like you're tired, okay? Yeah, are you okay? Now that you're ready for the bathroom, even if you're done bathing first... What's wrong?

"No, Petra, I seriously thought it would heal you if you watched. In retrospect, this time, Petra is the only one who can be treated without thinking about the surface or the back or the little things that are difficult."

A cheerful Petra rushes around Subaru in a busy fashion while the salutation and the usual verbal stigmatization intrude.

When I put my hand in her chestnut hair and stroke her head, it's really adorable to squeal her throat and rub it off with joy. As foreword suggests, it heals.

At the same time, it was the events at the last mansion and the far too unbroken end of the Petra we visited at that time that passed through Subaru's brain.

"Petra, all of a sudden... are you willing to do me a favor?

…… Yeah. No, yes. Anything at Subaru's request. "

"I'm comfortable with anything. Right. It's a little important. After this, Frederica should be back soon, too, so I want to talk to you in the bickering room. Can I just get you some tea?

"Is it Sister Frederica, too?

"Oh. It's a story that could shape the future, and Petra's irrelevant. Instead, she's not talking about levels. I want you to be there."

"It's not irrelevant..."

Petra in an attitude with her hands on her mouth and thinking. Then she looked up as hah as she thought of something, then dyed her cheeks a little red,

"Is that an important story for me and Master Subaru?

"Hmm, can you say that? It's definitely important to Petra and to me. Whatever, because it's not a good story for the two of us to complete."

"But that's how we feel."

"Feelings? Feelings? Feelings too...... well, important? It's a fact that I don't want to do anything that doesn't go along with my intentions, and it's not a mistake... isn't it?

When I tilt my neck to Petra's thrust and answer with a positive connotation, the girl twirls on the spot with a par gleaming her face. Running out into the mansion with dancing footsteps,

"Right away! I'll be right back! You can't run away!

"It's not easy to escape, but Petra's the one who's in too much of a hurry to fall, right?

The tension is high and Petra is likely to jump into the second floor of the mansion, the supply room. Two, Subaru once remembered and said on its back, "Petra! call."

"Thank you, Petra, handkerchief. Oh, my God, it was probably in a different way than Petra intended, but it helped."

"Really? Was I, Subaru helpful?

"Oh, picking up my life... not right, but like that"

The white handkerchief removed from the nostalgia is a gift from her with an embroidered Petra.

And the last time I met a "jealous" witch, it was also the murder weapon that Subaru used to harm himself when he was on the verge of being swallowed up by a witch. Although there is no denying the feeling that Echidna's intentions were working on that point, it began with Petra's thoughts.

Think about it, as long as Echidna's will is working, will this handkerchief still serve as a murder weapon? As far as triggers are concerned, if you follow the previous one, will Subaru be in danger of life, or will you pour mana in with the procedure of using magic? In the latter case, the difficulty is too high for Subaru.

"Anyway, thanks to Petra. I have to thank you one way or another."

"Bye! And once!

"Did you hear that from Emilia?

It was in the village of Aram that I had my first date with Emilia, a reward for the warcraft noise.

The distracted villagers and children left Subaru and Emilia alone, but Petra apparently remembered that time.

"Okay. Escort, let me. Petra's first date was with me, and it was quite a luxury and an honor."

"It's a promise!

"Enough."

Raising his hand in a light tone, Petra smiling like a flower will now be across the aisle.

Dropping off that little back, Subaru puts his thoughts on Petra's future. I'm still looking forward to the future, an adorable looking girl. Five more years, no. In three years, your hands and feet will stretch and you will grow into a girl who is more beautiful than you can see.

When that happens, I know the admiration she has for Subaru has disappeared, but the fact that she chose Subaru for her first date will surely bring guilty satisfaction to Subaru. So,

"Be sure to make that promise again, Petra"

The promises we made in this world, which I'm sure will disappear, will not remain in her.

But because Subaru keeps remembering that we exchanged that promise.

When the time comes to choose the right future, let's make the same promise again.

With Petra's smile in mind, Subaru thought so and stepped into the colloquial room.

Subaru smiled bitterly watching Petra sitting in the front swelling those red cheeks in a grumpy manner as she sat on the couch facing each other in the bickering room.

Swinging from knee to bottom on the couch, Petra, having finished listening, does not hide her dissatisfaction nor her shards. The childishness of such a girl looked smiling to Subaru, but didn't seem to like it to the senior maid sitting next to it,

"What is that face, Petra? I'm not rude in front of Subaru."

"But, Sister Frederica..."

"But it's not. You must behave correctly even if you are a regular, intimate opponent. Why do you think you can do it when you're unconscious from day to day? You're a good boy, but you can't do that yet."

"Ugh."

Petra bites her lips regrettably and leans down.

Too honestly the girl to be wrapped up in pity, Subaru tried to calm down "well in the meantime......" but on the contrary the end of being kicked and shut up.

This is the occasion when Frederica, back from the stables, rendezvous with Petra, who finished preparing the tea, settled down in the talking room for three, throated the tea, and entered into a key discussion.

Now it's where Petra got grumpy with the first story Subaru shook. Its contents are:

"Why should I leave your mansion? I can still work at your mansion for a week or so..."

Subaru is scratched with guilt by Petra, who looks like she's going to cry. but given what happens at the mansion ahead, it's not good to lose guilt and spoil it.

Subaru ghosted his heart and shook his head beside him,

"Nothing. I'm not talking about staying away. I don't mean dismissed, but Aram Village for a week or so... I mean, I want you to go back home."

"I can't tell you why, did I?

"... more details. However, it is true that there is imminent danger in this mansion. You told Frederica about being targeted by witchcraft recently, didn't you?

witchcraft, the look on Frederica's face changes when she hears the word.

It was at the time of her absence, but it was roughly two weeks ago that a witch led by Petergius raided the mansion and the village of Aram.

Frederica, who grew up in the "Sanctuary," should know very well what it means to be heretical by intertwining Emilia's qualities as well.

As Subaru thought, Frederica pulled her jaw as she looked difficult,

"If that's true, I think Subaru's decision is reasonable. Petra still doesn't have the means to defend herself."

"It's okay! Subaru will protect you!

"I told him to be manly. I'm his cousin, but I can't say it on my own because I'm aware of my lack of power or ability around it."

Petra, who stood up to Frederica, argues, but the young objection is blocked by Subaru's own incompetence. Petra drops her shoulders disappointingly at Subaru's answer, but Frederica strokes the head of such a girl to comfort her.

"Petra, don't be depressed. You're not so stupid that you don't know how sorry Subaru is to talk about your lack of abilities, are you?

"... Yes, Sister Frederica"

"It's the same thing to mourn a lack of power, no matter who it is. That's both Subaru and you. After acknowledging that, Master Subaru is looking for what he can do. Petra, what are you going to do?

"Ugh."

Again, Petra bites off remorse in tears. When she looks kicker at Subaru with those tears, as she ascends,

"Wow, what I can do... in your mansion, isn't it?

"... sorry. This time, there's nothing in the mansion that Petra can do. I'm less powerful, and I can't afford to pay attention to Petra. That's better. Sorry."

To the subaru with his head down, Petra rubs her lid with her sleeves, squeezing her eyes together.

And then I don't see any more tear residue on the face I raised. It's just that when you squeeze the red plum, Petra carefully picks the edge of her skirt and bows down,

"I accept, Master Subaru. Petra will have some free time starting this evening. Please call back as soon as the problem is cleared up safely"

"Oh, I'll let you do that. When the problem is solved…"

It would be great to have all the members of the mansion on the spot and, if possible, key figures from the 'Sanctuary', with a smile overflowing there.

Petra accepts Subaru's suggestion, and the first story is a paragraph.

- When Petra, given the role of cleaning up the drinked-up tea and lightly organizing her personal belongings, left the colloquial room, only two people remained in the room, Subaru and Frederica.

Making a noise and watching the door close, Subaru reached for a tea contract baked sweet, savoring the sweetness with his tongue, feeling the footsteps of Petra going down the hallway turn away.

"Can I ask you something, Frederica"

"It depends, Master Subaru."

Subaru laughs bitterly at the natural answer. Frederica has a flat face and is waiting for Subaru to turn off his tantrum.

Once, take a deep breath and wonder what the first word should be. But there's only one thing I'd like to ask her from Subaru's mouth.

"What do you think Garfield wants to do with The Sanctuary?

"- Is something wrong with Shaw's brother?

"There are so many opportunities to bump into each other. So I want to figure out if that bump is a result that you'll never know, or if it's something that you can tell me."

That will also change Subaru's course of action.

Whether Garfiel is an enemy to be defeated or an ally worthy of deference.

"Don't be surprised, you've heard of my relationship with my brother from my brother."

"Mr. Lewes didn't deny it either. You know that, Mr. Lewes."

"Of course it is. In" The Sanctuary, "parents of me and my brother's upbringing who were less than I was... I guess I should be more of a woman than a mother, considering the years I've lived."

Garfiel said, "Baba, baba, baba, baba."

I can't get out of my head the screaming in the name of the sad 'grandma' at the time of the parting.

A moment later, Garfield might have called the crown that way back in the day. It's a nasty way to call it now that it's evil, but if that was vegan,

"Garfiel can be a little, quite a grandmother?

"If it means to your wife... right. My brother is deeply affectionate, so I think his affection for his wife is very strong. Maybe he's going to hide it."

Even from my sister's eyes, Garfield's family love for the crown seems to stand out.

I don't know where that goes wrong, but it leads directly to protecting the 'sanctuary' and extends to that barbarity.

"The part about whether we can forgive him or not and the way he behaves is a different story."

"Master Subaru?

"Nothing. Just a reminder. There's been some hostility. Without preconceived notions, I think we have to judge things."

The understanding of what Garfiel thought caused the tragedy of the Villagers' Holocaust has not yet been extended to that fundamental part.

But there is no doubt that he was in command of being able to follow Ryus Mayer, a by-product of the immortality experiment that was taking place in the 'Sanctuary', and the management of the facility.

How could he destroy the facility? In the first place, I often don't know why he has command, etc...

"Frederica. I know you were a resident of The Sanctuary. You in the Quarter didn't get caught in the line, and you were able to get out."

"That's it already..."

"It also means Garfield is in the same position, and if it's true, he stayed inside even though he can get out. Hey, Frederica. You... you know what 'sanctuary' was built for?

Only four days have passed in this timeline since Subaru headed to the 'Sanctuary'. Frederica is surprised by the amount of information that is somewhat impossible to say she got in the meantime, but then she opens her eyes even more to the inquiry. And

"No, we don't know the details. I understand that 'sanctuary' is where the former 'greed' witch was made for experimental purposes..."

"Don't you know? Are you sure? Will the answer change?

"I don't know what they suspect, but it doesn't change my answer." Sanctuary "is the witch's laboratory, and now only the witch-stained junction remains, and it will not be solved unless it crosses the" Trial ". That's all I know."

Frederica shakes her head loose and closes. There's no way to be sure of the veracity of the words, but Subaru didn't look like she was speaking a lie.

This would mean that Frederica doesn't know the reality of the experiment of immortality. That, as it were, also meant a lack of understanding of the by-products that arose in that experiment,

"Wait a minute. So, Frederica... you mean you don't know anything about command of the replica?

"Fukseitai...... is it? No, although I've never heard of it."

Words of denial contain the same nuances as those of earlier.

Subaru shrugged at the answer, then placed his weight on the back of the couch without force.

"I'm sorry. Looks like you've answered your expectations."

"No, that's okay. It's not your fault.... How many years ago did Frederica leave the 'Sanctuary'? Have you ever heard of me?

"It's been about seven years since I left the 'Sanctuary' to take care of the mansion. It wasn't until a little later that the lamb arrived, so I guess I'm the oldest ginseng."

Subaru sighs at the fact that Rem's name did not appear in her words to recall the past and that Frederica's amount of information about the 'sanctuary' was no different from the previous loop.

Now there's almost zero chance that Frederica is hiding it from Subaru because of the information she has. Changing the incision, stepping in, and not changing the response means that's the fact.

Frederica doesn't know anything about the experiment of immortality, or perhaps a replica of the crown. How well did the crown do their daily shifts, or was Frederica, who now behaves resolutely, also a girl who had fallen out at an early age?

"But then, I don't know, it's Garfield. How long has he known the truth about the 'sanctuary'...?

Having command over the replica would mean Garfield knew that facility. Even if it isn't, he's probably the one who'll destroy the facility later.

Garfiel knows of an experiment using Ryus Mayer. Was it after his sister left the 'sanctuary' that he learned the truth that his sister did not know? Or did he remain in the 'sanctuary' because he knew?

"- Ah."

And as he pondered, Subaru noticed the fact that he had overlooked too seriously. As soon as I realized, I really looked back at my silliness additions and subtractions.

"Doesn't the fact that he was in command of the replica mean he's fulfilling the same conditions as me? That means he also has a status of an apostle of greed..."

Isn't that a testament to the fact that Garfiel also told the 'greedy' witch that she had met Echidna?

Subaru holds his head wondering why he didn't notice. If Garfield had ever met with Echidna, ownership of command would be explained. That he had a biased view of "The Trial," and that he was sympathetic to Emilia, who would be broken if challenged by "The Trial."

"Frederica. - The Garfield guy, he's tried 'em before, hasn't he?

"-! How could you do that?"

"I thought about all sorts of conditions combined, and it tied in there. Of course, I know you failed... but what was the flow of the details?

To Frederica's affirmation Subaru holds his fist that he has grabbed one end of the core.

Frederica exhaled at the deviant Subaru, then meditated to hand over the past.

"... I'm not the only one who wanted the liberation of the 'sanctuary'. There was a time when my brother was just as eager to show his mothers the outside world. My younger brother, who was still young, snuck into the cemetery and tried 'trials'. I remember how jealous I was of that powerlessness."

"Frederica, have you never been in?

"I didn't have the courage. Even if I know that if I go beyond the 'trials' that take place in it, I can free the 'sanctuary', to me. This is where I've always been told not to come in. I envied my brother who could jump straight in there"

I could imagine.

Making his current personality even more defenseless, the young Garfiel would have willingly challenged the 'trials' of the cemetery. Just straight up, with that one heart he wants to show his favorite family the outside world.

However,

"I regret that my brother who went into the cemetery didn't come out and I didn't stop, and I called my wife... and my wife hesitated, but she never went inside right away. Then a little while later, I asked you to bring my brother back under me praying. But"

- Never go inside the cemetery again. Don't forget about today. Don't tell anyone.

Yes, it seems that Frederica was told hard from the mouth of the crown.

Listening to a series of stories now, Subaru recalls the inconsistencies in Ryuz's statements that occurred before. crowns, such as having been in a cemetery, and crowns who affirmed that they had never been in.

It's a resolution of a contradiction with experienced and inexperienced crowns that I can convince because now I know there are multiple crowns and the bondage of not lying.

And from what I've just learned,

"Once, Garfield is under 'trials'. And you should be face-to-face with the 'greed' witch there too. So finally, all kinds of tsujitsu fit."

The emotions Garfiel has about the 'trials'. Reasons to have command.

The question is what did he see in the 'past'? Why reject Subaru for trying to liberate the 'sanctuary'? And why does Echidna not have to tell Subaru about Garfield? Everything was in the cemetery, there was an answer.

"At least one more time, I definitely need to see Echidna"

To uncover everything you're hiding from a witch who knows everything.

In front of Subaru, who consolidates his quiet determination, Frederica looks up at this one in silence.

I noticed his gaze Subaru scratched his cheek, then groaned "bad,"

"A lot. I don't think they want to hear it."

"No, it's what you need. Because your husband has also ordered you to. If what we've talked about helps Emilia to liberate her… and hence the 'sanctuary', there's nothing wrong with me either."

"The Sanctuary will be liberated. There's a reason I have to do that, so I'll use any hand to free you. It's just, honestly, it's second to none how much you can reflect Garfield's aspirations there."

…………

"I have no idea what Garfield thinks. Worst case scenario, whatever he thinks, if that doesn't go along with my intended behavior, smash it, but I'll go through my thoughts. I choose the greatest number of happiness. I'm sorry."

Disaster to visit against both the Mansion and the 'Sanctuary'. If you want to stand in the way of Subaru acting to avoid it, get ready to be bounced off.

to Subaru's answer. Once Frederica closed her lid strongly, then

"Best regards, Brother Wonder"

- Yes, I was the answer by lowering my head.
