Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

At the end of the dialogue with Frederica, Subaru stood in the aisle on the third floor of the main building of the mansion, on the floor where the office of Roswar and others were located.

My head feels heavy because of accumulated fatigue, or because my mind is confused about how to deal with the challenges that lie ahead?

"Besides, we have to bump into each other again..."

Scratching his neck muscles with his fingers, Subaru is a reluctant face at the indigence of his handbills.

I believe that we have been much more informed than we were last time, but I do not know at first glance whether that is directly linked to the issue ahead.

The pieces of the invisible puzzle must be hand-packed to fit the assembled drawing. Such an invisible sense of anxiety stands in my chest.

"Dear Subaru. What will you do?

It is Frederica who quietly refrains next door from speaking to Subaru, who thus stops.

Frederica accompanied me to Subaru after a discussion in the bickering room. Subaru nodded vaguely, "Oh," to her inquiry,

"I haven't seen Beatrice face to face since Frederica got back... right?

"Yes. Originally, I didn't get to show your face much, but I haven't even done it this time. As long as you're ashamed."

"Nha, in this case, you mean it's too seriously hideous over there. I can't help but find Frederica."

In fact, if we really try to find Beatrice, who disappeared to the other side of "Crossing the Door," we'll have to hit the door that could lead us to the forbidden room. If that's all you need to do with the mansion. Still, if you think back on the track record that once connected you to the village of Aram and the 'Sanctuary',

"It's too broad a range, it's not very, but it's not narrow. It's a mean story, but this is a mystery you'll never find the right answer to."

"So what are you going to do? Mr. Subaru wants to speak to Mr. Beatrice."

"If he's serious about hiding, no one can find the right answer. That's true."

Frederica frowns at Subaru repeating her earlier words. Ringing a neck bone at her questionable vision, Subaru raised one finger,

"It's because this is what matters. If he's serious about hiding, no one can find him. But unless you're seriously hiding."

"Seriously, no?

"There's no such thing as a guy who doesn't want you to find him and hide. Everyone hides because they want you to find them someday. It's hard to find ghosts in people's minds if you can."

Saying, Subaru walks a little and makes a quick turn to the left. The front of Subaru, which stops at a ninety degree bend down the hallway, is next to Roswar's office - there is a dossier room. It's a small room filled with fake and paper materials, a room that Otto sorted out once while freaking out.

Hands on the door of that room, Subaru gets a 'right answer' response over the door knob.

"Strangely enough, the moment I opened it... no, as soon as I tried to open it, I knew if that was the right thing to do. Right now, I think it might have been because of you."

"Dear Subaru..."

"So open your books"

Subaru opens the door with sound effects in his mouth as he bathes in the carefree Frederica voice on his back. And the feeling of distortion of space beyond the door of the materials room - a unique odor drifts from the room, held only by old books after a long time.

In the absence of the taste of paper materials bearing in mind their immediate disposal, it is, after all, a tasteful scent of paper and ink that cannot be demonstrated.

"I'm not going to be home late, but remember to send Petra to the village if it's going to get too dark"

With his hands on the door knob, Subaru speaks that way to Frederica, who is surprised.

Frederica blinked several times at the call, then picked the edge of her skirt and bowed down,

"We look forward to your return. There you go, there you go."

"Nice. I'm going to mistake my position for being great."

Sent out in praise by the maid, Subaru knocked over the door and into the room. When you make a noise over your back and the door closes, you feel like you've heard an unlikely wind and the space twists. The connection that should have existed disappears, and the forbidden library is isolated from the world again.

And

"I wonder if it's finally here."

A pompous, totally unwelcome voice welcoming Subaru. Leaving nature and bitterness to his facial expressions, Subaru raised his hand small,

"Hey, Bear. I haven't seen your face in a while, and it's still tiny."

"Your light mouth is annoying enough not to have to ask for the rest of your life. I really... can't help it."

Beatrice sits on the middle of a wooden stepladder and holds a black fitted book over her chest.

Seeing that look, Subaru always thinks she's sitting in that place. There are proper desks and chairs in the forbidden library. Yet the location of the girl who welcomes visitors is always there. Somehow, there's something sticking to his chest and Subaru bites his back teeth.

"I wonder if I will be able to see even more of the faint side. It's your freedom to scratch and confuse, but it's unpleasant to do it in front of Betty, so stop right now."

"It was a crossroads. I'm sorry, but there's no reason for me to ask that favor. I can't make sure that something decent is made up between me and you."

Needless to say, Subaru tells him that the circumstances of Beatrice, which he learned in the last loop, are known. Beatrice, who received it, took some risk on her soot face and groaned just in her mouth, "I don't know, I don't know..."

"It's okay. I think we should think that we have each other's bills in our hands."

"I have a lot of doubts about whether my handbills will work. Hey, let me talk while you let me make it up to you with my imagination."

"Whatever you want, you just have to. Either way..."

Fu, and Beatrice's tenacious expression can be accidentally solved.

When the expression he was applying hardened by his stubbornness peels off, peeking from under it is a gentle smile and a shimmering eye - not expecting, Subaru pushes silently to clog his throat.

And Beatrice,

"Long, long, long, when the contract ends. - Finish the end, and I wonder if Betty will be free from stagnation this time."

And so I said lonely.

"End the end... right. Much more poetic."

Subaru shrugs his shoulders and puts the restraint in front of Beatrice, who looks like he's already ready. Running your gaze with this is the black book in the girl's hand - if Roswar's words are correct, it's one crack in the Gospel, the only two completed books that exist in the world.

Bringing future information It felt to Subaru as if it had a dimension as a prophecy, while it also meant something like a directive from the future which stipulated that 'this is how the future should be done'.

In fact, the witchcraft Petergius was acting as described in the incomplete Gospel, something that had just jumped off when it made sense to do so. Most importantly, the incomplete version did not mark the end of the future, so his madman was debated in Subaru's hands.

"Is that how you can look like you figured it out, also because of that book?

"... I wonder how far you know about this book"

"Roswell spilled a lot of things on me. I think I know the outline.... That's the nature of the Gospel that witchcraft has, superior version. You know, there's only two books left in the world, and I'm separating them from you and Roswar."

"Roswar is a light-mouthed man, too. For that purpose, I wonder if you'd be happy to talk to me."

Subaru frowns, as Beatrice pukes and throws away.

From time to time, Beatrice's reputation for Roswar is scattered. but so far there has been something like patterned deceased anxiety only close to it. But as I say now, I can't even feel that dust.

From the bottom of his heart, Beatrice was now speaking with disgust against Roswar.

"I don't know what your relationship with Roswar is. You can share only two books in the world with each other, or you can sign a blood contract and let them live in your house."

"Make it clear what you're trying to say."

"Then let me be clear, your position is too unclear."

Beatrice narrows her eyes. Subaru was experiencing the illusion that he had been exposed to the wind, when an incompatible sense of intimidation emanated from his adorable appearance.

Starting to cut to the point, Beatrice's cohesive atmosphere changes dramatically.

"Roswell's standing somewhat clear now. He's a housewife who signed with the 'greedy' witch, and he's taken over that position all the time. It's also the way he manages the Sanctuary, and the reason he tries to win Emilia in the king's race remains vague."

…………

"But I don't see your role there. Roswar's position as a covenant with the 'greedy' witch. If you ask me, I am the Apostle of Greed."

It can somehow be seen that Roswar has an extraordinary obsession with Echidona, even from an attitude of adamant calling with Echidona, without calling her a 'greedy' witch.

I wonder if his position, while not extending, is also something like an apostle of 'greed', just like Subaru. Most importantly, Svalbard was taken over by Echidna's hand, and Roswar probably took over with the same salt plum as the housekeeper.

"The Gospel...... I have witchcraft. I don't know if that's the same roots you or Roswar have as the finished version. Maybe it's my imagination that the maker is different. And I have no idea who's making the Gospel of witchcraft, but I can imagine the two finished books."

"... who, I wonder"

- It's Echidna.

The moment I mouthed that name, Subaru knew Beatrice had stuffed his breath.

And the fact that the present name is never too small for Beatrice.

In Echidna's Castle of Dreams, Subaru saw an artifact owned by Echidna, called the Book of the Wisdom, comparable to the Almighty.

The essence of the Book of Wisdom is different from that of the Gospel, but it coincides in that it is an unknown book of magic with the fitting. And if you connect the most recent person with it with the 'sanctuary' where the people involved gather, the answer is like being presented.

"The Gospel that you and Roswar have was made by Echidna. Roswar's is a book that has probably been handed down to the Mazers as cotton. So, how did you get the Gospel you have?

…………

"Here's one, I have a question. Yours, through the door."

Subaru putting up one finger and killing the momentum ahead to bring up another topic.

Beatrice blinks her eyes at the Subaru discourse and wonders what to say.

Subaru threw an inquiry at her.

"- Your range of effects across the door. In this case, what is the range you can choose to target?

"... listen to that, I don't know what to do."

"Listen to this. If it's what I imagined, don't let my imagination get affirmed."

Arm together, Subaru stretches his chest to Beatrice, who shuts his mouth.

Beatrice shuddered her lips as she roamed, then closed her eyes as she had observed,

"Betty's doorstep connects spaces to the same building. Or the most recent, known place. I wonder if the distance can be that far apart."

"About one more thing, isn't there a condition?

"Do you honestly think Betty has a reason to tell you that?

"Well, I'll guess. - Even if it's far away, I can connect you across the door if it's a place with deep connections to you. What do you say?"

――――

Breathtaking and eye-opening Beatrice.

The reaction made Subaru support the imagination he held in his chest.

"If the concentration is disrupted and the door is still crossed, what is the method of selection for the connecting parties?

"... meh"

"For a moment, anyone will have behavior or words that are familiar to their body. If it's like walking through a door, it's no wonder it's so thoughtful."

"I wonder if..."

"I'm receiving the Gospel made by Echidna. You connect the place with the 'Sanctuary' to the library by the door. - That is."

"- No more, I want you to stop!

A girl who rocked her stepladder and stood up watched Subaru in the shape of a plea. Beatrice moisturizes her eyes by chewing her lips off with a kick.

I'm convinced I just broke into an area she doesn't want you to touch, with dirty hands.

Subaru shook his neck sideways, "No," feeling an itchy sensation running inside his chest.

"I won't stop. I know there's a place between here and the Sanctuary that connects through the door. And the reason it happens is because now you desperately denied it."

…………

"Beatrice. You're part of the Sanctuary, too, right? What kind of relationship is that with Echidna?

Svalbard pushes and kills hesitant feelings and crushes Beatrice by inquiring, knowing that it is an act of treading in the heart of a reluctant girl.

Through the door, Subaru was sent to the facility of the immortality experiment in the 'Sanctuary'.

The space that opened up in some circumstances led over there, which meant that that place was a thoughtful place for Beatrice.

She, the Spirit, strongly remembers the facility where the replication of Rhus Mayer takes place. And given the history of being given the Gospel by Echidna -.

"Beatrice... who are you, the spirits under contract with?

"- Huh!"

"I've asked the pack before. on the principles of the Spirit's covenant. I don't know about the details, but the terms of reciprocity are finally in place between the contractor and the Spirit. You once said you were tied to a contract to protect the forbidden library. Who's the deal?

".................. ah"

"I have always taken the liberty of thinking that the contract had been signed with Roswar. I'm in this mansion, and I manage the library in the mansion, so naturally I think it's a natural idea... but I'm wondering if that's a little bit right now."

To Subaru, who beats his tongue on the tip as he continues to stand, Beatrice is spilling a weak exhale from his trembling lips without even being able to hammer him properly from earlier.

A small body becomes even smaller, and strength is exerted to ascertain the weight of the Gospel that can be held in the arms seeking what to rely on. Too grumpy to withstand intolerable things.

Said Subaru, even though he sees it while he sees it.

- You're the spirit who signed with Echidona, right?

- That was the beginning of the end.

- The moment I issued the inquiry, Beatrice was collapsing like a puppet with a broken thread.

"Bear-!?"

The girl who fell from her knees to the floor. Hard sounds, the sound of paper spreading, scattering the contents of the Gospel dropped on the floor from within Beatrice's hands.

It seems that the endurance of books that had always been carried around, opened many times and many times, each with his fingers, and repeated them, had reached its limits so much. Due to the impact of the fall, the back cover and body alignment come off and scatter like a white carpet has been laid on the floor.

"The Gospel... Huh?

A few sheets, I see the page fly down to the foot of Subaru, I bend in and pick it up unexpectedly. Past the back of the brain is the Gospel that Petergius possessed. I remember the book, which was filled with surprisingly fine letters, creeping as if the frenzy of the holder had contaminated the letters.

Before the page I picked up, Subaru had such a reminiscence - but the reminiscence blew up when I saw the page I spread in front of him. Because,

"What... Huh? Blank paper......?

Neither on the table nor on the back, nothing was noted on the page that Subaru picked up.

In a hurry, I try to pick up another page under my feet, but nothing is listed there either. I happen to suspect that the second half of the page, which still spreads blanks, is something that flew by.

"No, that's stupid"

With his succumbing posture, Svalbard noticed as he looked at the pages scattered around Beatrice.

of the pages that cover up her surroundings, in any case, to the fact that the letters are not written.

How likely is it that everything was tabulated on the back of blank paper while the number of pages was scattered just not down a hundred?

"It's the Gospel... nothing, it doesn't say?

Rather than believe in the miracle that all pages show blank surfaces, it's sensible to assume that all pages fill the contents with blanks as if they had been dashed.

And if you follow that rational thought, you will be attacked by facts that are unreasonable.

"How come only two finished copies don't describe the future? Is that a gimmick that only the possessor can read a sentence or something? Petergius', isn't that helpful?

If we are going to talk about completeness and incompleteness, the Gospel to which Subaru refers is the incomplete version. I could read that in addition to the holder, and now that I've lost the owner, Subaru keeps it. Fortunately, there's nothing like more written statements after Petergius's death at the moment.

Therefore, Subaru thought that whoever owned the Gospel, its contents were visible to everyone.

"It's been a long time..."

"Huh?"

"That gospel no longer shows Betty any future, for years..."

Beatrice leans down on her face as she enters the floor.

Somehow restrained himself from the emotion he wanted to hear back what it meant, Subaru waited without hurrying Beatrice's words.

Hold down the page where the bowing Beatrice's hands scatter, crushing and crushing. My fingertips were trembling and my voice even seemed to be mixed with tears.

"The role given to Betty is to maintain a library of knowledge. Continue to protect this place until the time of our upcoming reunion…"

"Library of knowledge... of here, you mean?

Standing up, Subaru looks over at a herd of bookshelves filling the room. Many of the books plugged in, the contents of the library, which Subaru has also reached out to several, so far I thought housed books owned by the Maisers,

"You mean all the books here, Echidna books"

"The gathering of knowledge... was my favorite."

"That's about as tall as you call yourself a witch, so I guess so."

It's enough to name the righteousness of knowledge myself. I think it's a greedy thing to say that you want to know everything about the world. The large number of books that fit on the bookshelf was also to be called the fruit of such a collection of her knowledge.

Beatrice was the secretary who kept Echidona's knowledge camp.

"From your mouth... it looks like we're in the cemetery."

"Oh, I'm in. I've seen terrible things, and I've felt painful... but now I'm glad I came in. Echidna is the blade of the blade if you're a consultant."

Precious as someone who can unravel 'Back to Death', but when you do it, it invites a 'Jealous' witch to the outcome. For once, dying is a pattern that becomes imperative, so the real part you want to avoid if possible. If necessary, overlap.

"... Earlier, you said that the Gospel hasn't taught us the future in years"

It's true. It's true.

"I don't doubt anything. No, I still doubt it. 'Cause, right? Otherwise you... didn't write anything in the Gospel."

- I've helped Subaru many times.

In the previous loop, the separation visited between Subaru and Beatrice. There was also the first time I had learned of the existence of the Gospel owned by Beatrice, which had never had less impact on Subaru.

Because Beatrice's actions, thoughts, and all of them so far were written in the Gospel but they were of the late, and when there was no room for her own thoughts and emotions to enter there, she almost seemed to think so.

So Subaru, even though he had a girl in front of him who would be struck, had gained enough relief to be able to perceive his presence clearly within him.

I feel safe knowing Beatrice's actions so far reflect her mind. I don't see how that would bring so much relief to Subaru.

I just don't know why, but this is what Subaru thought.

For no reason, Beatrice wants me to have favorable feelings. I don't know what makes Subaru feel that way about her.

"You... how could you even help me? It wasn't in the Gospel, was it? He left me alone."

It was an inquiry that I could see for myself that it was a distracting way of saying it.

He seems to be entrusting Beatrice with the answer, and Subaru understands what he wants. I understand, but I hate my cowardice for choosing to put it this way.

Subaru wanted to ask Beatrice, really simply, this.

- Aren't you on my side?

"Betty made you... cooperate..."

"Oh. You've helped me on many occasions. The same goes for the juggernaut curse, and so did you for treating me for dying. The curse was supposed to kill me like that, and he told me the truth."

On other occasions, Subaru has been saved more than once by Beatrice.

Only Beatrice and Emilia saved Subaru, who was murdered by Rem in the loop that originated that mansion and made no one in the mansion believe him.

I haven't forgotten then that Beatrice defended Subaru at that time when he was frustrated by loneliness and fear. It is a definite bond that is no longer in this world, that will remain only in Subaru, unforgettable.

So,

"You have nothing to do with the Gospel or anything like that..."

"- And finally, I was saying,"

Will Beatrice side with Subaru by rounding up all the problems?

A being capable of depositing full breadth of trust - for Subaru, who has lost his lem and cannot show Emilia his weakness, will Beatrice do so?

It was some sort of too selfish wish.

And

"Sooner or later, 'the person' visits Betty's library. Until then, protect the library."

"... the person?

"Did they say that? The role of defending the forbidden library given to Betty until 'the person' comes along. Betty doesn't know if you're the one."

Subaru, who was looking at Beatrice with her feverish eyes, loses its color in her depressed mouthfeel and wrinkles between her brows at the disturbing clouds.

I don't know what Beatrice is trying to say. I don't know. I don't know - but I felt like I shouldn't let you say anything beyond that.

"Betty doesn't know. I don't know if you're the" guy "... but"

"Wait, Beatrice. Me and you, we're in a little too much of a hurry. Calm down more..."

"I don't care if you're" the person "or not... I don't know if you think so"

Beatrice, who was lying down, looks up.

Two curly hairs shake as your head moves. Like, bewildered, to reflect her heart and Subaru's.

A bad feeling tightens my chest. Without that hunch being wiped off,

"I don't care if you're not the" guy "anymore. So."

"Bear -"

"Do you want me to kill Betty and end this contract? I want you to end the end and make Betty easier."

Beatrice's eyes moistened, her lips smiled powerlessly,

"You're the one who became..."
