Chapter 4: 62: The Tragedy of the Roswar Mansion

When he saw the woman standing at the entrance, a battle ran through Subaru's entire body.

It has been a presence that has brought too much heterogeneous fear to Subaru, who has experienced numerous predicaments and sometimes even lost his life since being summoned to another world.

He weaves his black coat and wraps his undulating limbs in a neat, pitch-black outfit. Same as Subaru, in this world he had long stretched his rare dark hair into three braids, with a lustrous smile on the slightly lowering face of his eyeballs.

A woman so beautiful that it could be called a piece of painting without a blood-dropping blade - a murderer, the worst disaster for Subaru, held in an easygoing manner in its hands. First Killer, "The Bowel Hunt," Elsa Grandhilte.

"Hey, why... you here!?

"- Oh, I thought it was the smell I smelled somewhere. Is that you? How's your health after that? What's in your stomach, are you adorable to me?

Subaru putting amazement on his tongue. Elsa raises her eyebrows and tilts her little neck in such a way that she now realizes for the first time that she exists.

The answer to the inquiry has not already been established as a conversation. It's inexplicable to adore your guts, and you can't do it to a permanent person. I mean, the woman in front of you who wants it, as a matter of course, is undisputed lunatic.

That, too, is another vector of madmen, who drew a line with Petergius Romaneconti.

Stretching his whole body into tension, Subaru stretches his whole nerve around Elsa's hands and feet.

The combat power of the madman in front of you is in the dimension of damaging him by playing 'Kensei' Reinhardt. Where Subaru pointed how nervous he was, though he wouldn't even be the one to grasp the touch of action.

- I wonder whose permission you're in here with.

To the lid, his voice was falling out from behind Subaru and he was hitting Elsa with an inquiry.

It was Beatrice who raised the untouched question. The girl stands still in a position where she was confronted with Subaru earlier, only erasing the signs of tears from her expression.

to the girl's inquiry, Elsa paid that long hair lightly by hand, while

"It didn't even seem locked, and you just opened it and came in? If you're in the middle of an important discussion, you better remember to lock it up next time."

"That's not what I meant. This is Betty's forbidden library, and I don't know if I can get in without permission... except for the guy there. You, how?"

"Oh, that would be easy."

Elsa nods to Beatrice, who sees Subaru as one of the exceptions to crossing the door, that she has finally figured out what the question means. She showed with her hands the door that remained open,

"The magic that separates your space... is mediating the door, isn't it? Connecting a Closed Room to a Closed Room, Magic Through a Door"

"It is. Unless Betty says so, we can't possibly get to the forbidden library that connects us to anywhere in the mansion door. How to do that..."

"So it's a simple story. Because it mediates closed doors... if you leave all doors open, the choice will disappear, won't it?

――――

Because easily, Elsa presents a way to overcome Beatrice's door crossing restrictions.

Sure, she's right. Beatrice's door crossing is only the magic of space transfer that connects closed doors to each other. That also means that it cannot be connected to an open room. If we are to limit ourselves to the doors of the mansion, it is self-evident that if we open all the doors throughout the mansion, the remaining doors will connect to the forbidden library. But to do that,

"You have to open all the doors of the mansion... so no one can disturb you..."

Saying, Subaru truly becomes aware of his stupidity additions and subtractions.

Or is it the result of turning away from reality you don't want to see?

"You, that knife... whose blood are you, wet?

Elsa's gripping Kukli knife was covered in blood paste. dripping from the tip. That was just enough to make Subaru imagine the worst, in a flavor such as having just ripped off his prey now, in light of what he had imagined earlier.

To Subaru trembling her blood-lossed lips, Elsa licked the blood off her white fingertips as she fingered the belly of the lifted knife.

"Whose, do you think?

"Oh, my God..."

"Tip. He was wearing made-up clothes."

There are three faces left in the mansion. Everyone wears made-up clothes. No, the lem who falls asleep on the sleeping table is Negrije. Off the candidate. Two left.

"Tip number two. You didn't have long hair."

Semi-long petra and Frederica with long stretches of golden hair.

- Subaru's throat inhaled for a roar shortly after.

"Tip number three - Subaru, Subaru, died crying, saying so."

"Elsa ahhh!!

Peeling his fangs, lowering his posture, Subaru sticks from his head into Elsa.

Intercepting Elsa slowly stretches her thin limbs and tries to align the tip of the knife on her right to the approaching Subaru -,

"- Oh?"

"Who hits a monster like Tetsu head-on!

Elsa's voice like she ate a shoulder watermark.

In its front, Svalbard, who lowered himself, waves his arms from bottom to top with a big wave that sweeps the ground. On the track, eating the convolutions and rising are scattered pages of the Gospel.

A dozen white pages block the view between Subaru and Elsa for a moment. moments, breathing, Subaru put his strength into the center of his belly, squeezing mana,

"- Shamak!!

Black smoke erupts and incomprehensibility fills the distance between Subaru and Elsa.

Shamak, which was ineffective for Julius, but it has been experimented with in the previous world that it works quite well for Elsa. Unlike before, when you spit out mana in your body, you just need to bring unusual tiredness to your whole body, and improved mana operability.

"Beatrice!

Flipping himself over, Subaru takes Beatrice's arm as he watches his current offense behind him. For a moment, his tenacious arm nearly moved to reject Subaru's palm, but he cannot escape Subaru's grip, which he caught disappointingly.

When he drew his light body rampantly and held the little girl into his arms, Subaru let his own body jump into Shamak without one or two.

- I don't understand. There was nothing to see, nothing to hear, nothing to feel, only darkness.

The only feeling I felt on the soles of my feet was all of Subaru today and everything in the world.

It is left completely out of the world until the right foot is off the ground and the left foot reaches the ground. My left foot goes to the ground. Get in touch with the world. My left leg leaves. Isolated. Right leg reached. Contact. Isolated. Contact. Isolated. The feeling of something wandering in your arms. I won't let you go. I won't let you isolate me. Contact. Contact. Contact.

"- Buh!

At the next moment, darkness cleared with abruptness like a face out of the water.

The dewy sight, Subaru stood in the hallway of the Mansion. I'm in a hallway with a red lineage carpet laid out, nothing more than because I popped out the door of a forbidden library.

It would have dodged Elsa, who was standing at the entrance, and could have just popped out.

"Yes, I thought so -!"

If Shamak unfolded in the front, if Elsa, who is accustomed to battle, he thought that he would evade that dark curtain and target the Subaru on the other side. Taking that backhand, Subaru dared to jump directly into the darkness and bare the entrance that Elsa had deliberately opened for me.

"I'll tell you what to do..."

Time to win is not allowed.

Shamak's duration is unknown, too, but if he finds out there's no Subaru on the other side, Elsa should cut back and follow him immediately.

Shut the door with your feet abusively and interrupt the door crossing. It depends on Beatrice, but you shouldn't know if this connected the forbidden library directly in front of you.

"Beatrice! Connect the current room to another..."

"I don't care if you don't tell me, I guess I will. Better buy yourself some time by closing the open door and going around."

"Shit, you're right!

Subaru, responding to the hatred of the girl in his arms, also slammedly closes the door of the next door and the room next to it. Before closing the door, I can't find any noticeable traces of it wandering inside.

I don't know how far I can believe what Elsa said...

"What to do, what to do, what to do -"

The doubts are endless.

Why is Elsa here now? This time, of all the loops we've ever had, it's the shortest speed we've ever been back to the mansion. Day six, day four, and this is day two - on any occasion, Elsa raids on the first day Subaru returns to the mansion.

On this matter, an idea that had long raised doubts within Subaru. That is changing from this and Elsa's statement stepping into the forbidden library to certainty.

But even more so, why...

"Why, one more day...... no, you didn't wait for me for a few hours!

At night, Petra promised to return to the village.

Elsa's attack is a tragedy that was half planned. The last time I lost my life in that vortex, the way Petra looked, that burned into Subaru's eyes and couldn't leave. So this time I was hitting her in the hand to keep her away from that tragedy. Yet malice approached her at a rate that exceeded its response, and fate did not let her young.

"Not yet. Why should I give up? There's a chance he's out of bullshit. There is. Give up hope......!

"It's not hope, it's untrained..."

"Ugh! You keep your mouth shut and be held! He's willing to kill you, too. Because you're a pervert who cracks their belly with that knife and feels comfortable seeing what's in it!

"I can't believe I want to see the spirits' intestines. I have a bad taste in them."

I agree, Svalbard whining in his mouth alone. And, out of its arms, he then fell out of Beatrice and stepped down the hallway. She paid for the dress skirt,

"So, what are you gonna do?"

"I don't care what you do. Cheapness of Petra and confirmation of Rem are paramount. Then... anyway, I'll take you out of the mansion too. Or are you gonna fight him?

"... if that's what's coming to kill Betty, if it's irresistible, it's what Betty wants."

"I felt like I was going to say that, so I was forced to bring him in. If that doesn't go away, I'll take you with me on my shoulders. What do we do?"

Looking down at Beatrice with the height difference, Subaru presses her into a decision. Even so, I'm not going to give you the right of choice or anything. I'm not going, and if I'm going to stay here willingly, I'm going to pull even if I can.

I guess the idea of Subaru was conveyed. Beatrice sighed,

"Even if you can't choose where you're going to die, you might want to choose who you're going to kill."

"The story will also calm you down by changing the place properly. Let's go!"

Speaking to Beatrice, who showed him the posture to follow, he runs out holding hands and pulling. Beatrice follows in a rushing Subaru, and then with a small stride and a difficult dress to walk. Proceeding for about ten meters, Subaru soon became intolerable,

"Uh, shit! Shit, come on!

Pull your arms and tuck the girl softly in your arms again.

Beatrice's body is lighter than it looks. I don't know if this has anything to do with her being a spirit or if she's just stunted.

"... let go of me"

"If it matches your speed, they'll catch up with you instantly! It's still faster for me to run in charge! And..."

Beatrice, held in her chest, utters a word of rejection. but her hands were unreliably picking the chest part of Subaru's clothes, and Subaru, who stopped it in his eyes, cut off the words and made no denial, affirmation or mention.

That's fine, I thought so now.

"Anyway, before Elsa comes out... I need to find Petra and Rem!

"I thought there was another maid left in the mansion."

"Frederica... now, you better not see her. I guess."

Clouding his verbal butt, Subaru shakes his head thinking of what a blonde maid looks like. Beatrice frowned on Subaru's attitude but said nothing.

Now, I wanted to avoid face-to-face with Frederica. After you two check your safety, that's fine. Meet her, listen to her, even then.

Because if Subaru's imagination is correct, I'm sure that's what it is...

- Petra was on the dining room table, arranged with dishes.

A white tablecloth is dyed red and black around Petra lying in the center. Time had already passed, and the blood that had spilled had begun to discolor black, and it was turning into a color that would impress the gloom of the sight even more strongly.

"Peeto, La..."

Relax, Subaru walks over to the table in a fluttering foothold.

Petra lying on her back in the middle of the table. The adorable expression was solidified by the crying face of distress and fear, and the eyes were open to despair as to what they had seen at the end. From the edge of the open mouth is the overflowing blood, and the fatal wound is the wound of a blade that cut deep through the abdomen without even having to see it.

Poor thing in front of Subaru, the service clothes he showed shaking his skirt like a fairy - broken vertically from its chest down to his lower abdomen, spilled blood and guts lightening the young girl's body even lighter.

"- Ugh."

There was something creeping up from the back of my throat. It's not nausea, it's whimpering.

Feeling a burning heat in the back of his eyes, Subaru reaches out to Petra's face before it overflows. Face that becomes stiff with fear and remains warped. At least let her eyes close, and Subaru put her undressed jacket over her body as if one day.

This is how many times I have made a sole upperside deal with Petra that I couldn't save.

How many times does Subaru let this child die, knowing this will happen and still not arrive?

How many times does this child have to suffer like this, having just been detained with Subaru?

"Sorry... sorry, sorry... Petra..."

Even the words of apology you utter only sound vain.

Petra couldn't rely on anyone, and she ran into a horrible killer here and was murdered unharmed while calling Svalbard's name.

Sadness is going to crush my chest. Hot as my whole body is going to burn with hatred.

If people can kill with hate, Subaru won't get tired of killing Elsa 10,000 times.

What he did was so guilty. Sooner or later, I'll let you know.

"For that, we can't just end up like this this this time..."

"This time...?

"Solo. I don't want to leave Petra like this... but I can't do anything about it right now. I'm going to Rem's first. Take Rem and leave the mansion as it is. Can't we use the door crossing?

"We need to go through the forbidden library. Besides, maybe now the door is open."

- Is that what you mean?

The way you seal doors is simple, but that's all you need to do.

If we open all the doors throughout the mansion, that's all we can do to narrow down the target. And if you leave the doors of the forbidden library itself open, you can also block access from outside the doors that are passing through at that point.

If they leave the door open even with one of the grasping sticks, even Beatrice can't call the forbidden library.

"Do you know where the forbidden library is connected right now?

"It's natural. - Is it connected to a room on the third floor on the west side now?"

When it comes to the western room, the central dining room is kept at a distance. It's just that that's where the doors are open, which means at least Elsa went outside the forbidden library.

If that killer's sense of smell would find the Subaru's not far away.

There is no time.

"I don't have time for this. Anyway, hurry up to Rem......"

Wipe the tears seeping out of the jitters with the back of his hand, Subaru turns his neck toward the destination. Rem sleeps in a room lined with private rooms for servants on the east side. If Elsa starts on the west side, I can tell she hasn't arrived yet.

However, that is a limited story to Elsa,

"Frederica is likely to be here..."

If she knew Subaru would attach importance to Lem's cheapness, she would turn a blind eye to Subaru's aspiration for the place after evading the Elsa raid. Then there is a good chance that we are ahead of schedule.

Put your hand on your jaw and Beatrice narrows her eyes to the subaru you contemplate.

"I've been wondering about you just now.... I wonder if you're suspicious of that big maid."

"... I didn't want to doubt it."

To Beatrice's doubts, Subaru affirms by shaking his neck vertically without force.

Elsa's raid on the Roswar mansion - Subaru was half sure that this would probably be Frederica's treachery.

This is the third time Subaru will face Elsa at the Roswar Mansion.

Past encounters were days six and four, both after a few more days. But this is the second day after reaching the Sanctuary, and the encounter.

Every time, Elsa emerges as if awaiting Subaru's return. If that karakuri is out there somewhere, there is no other way to doubt the existence of insiders.

"On the day I returned to the mansion, Elsa was instructed to let me in. After all, I thought it was the flow of going to the mountain hut..."

Subaru initially suspected that Frederica was inviting Elsa to lurk in a cabin in the mountains. Therefore, on his return, Frederica was prepared to ask him, "Will you not go to the mountain hut?"

I didn't see any fixes or suspicions in Frederica's answers and attitudes then. So I tried to convince him once that it was an overthought.

"It's not like the means are limited to that... it's not like I can see it watermarked down to the contents of my belly. I don't know if I've been fooled."

They took care of the outside well and Subaru's vigilance couldn't detect her. On the contrary, she would have realized that she was more alert to Subaru and would have made her behave more cautiously.

It was the fall of Subaru, and as a result it caused the young girl to take her life twice.

Petra was damaged because of Subaru, who knew and missed her. Petra was killed by Subaru.

"You missed Petra so much too...!

Sister Frederica, and I am reminded of Petra, who admired her senior maid.

Did Frederica's heart not break when it came to putting that much admired Petra in the hands of a killer like this?

What the hell does she think she's involved in all this?

"Extremely, the way Beatrice broke through the door. Honestly, I'm surprised you can break it in a way that's like child deception."

"... Betty never thought she'd be broken that way either. Yeah, well, maybe it's the way you come up with it."

"I know as long as I have time, I'm going to come up with it... but that time is the problem. That's a way of not flashing without knowing your presence and the gimmick across the door in advance. I can't believe Elsa came up with that on that occasion. There's no such convenient story. That's probably because we talked inside."

"You look familiar with that crazy woman, but where did you meet her?"

"I got a little bit of a crack in the King's Landing.... Oh, the first time you treated me, the perpetrator was him"

In retrospect, Elsa is also detained for how Subaru was brought to the Roswar residence. Beatrice nodded as she was convinced "oh" with that word.

Either way, even the time I'm lizarding like this is a waste now.

"Anyway, I'm at Rem's now. If Frederica was here... are you okay with me guessing?

"I wonder if I have the mood to protect myself as much as I do about a woman I fell in love with. I can't believe you think of a man like this the most."

"If you feel like you can drop a whale, I'll drop it, but the world can't be that warm."

Beatrice's hatred is half-competence. And this is how I brought it into the discourse, considering Subaru as Beatrice. They're trying to keep Subaru's consciousness away from Petra's death.

Unlike Subaru, who has long unaware of Beatrice's grief and is still unable to present a solution, Beatrice was too smart. So I rely on you.

"Let's go"

"Hmm, you got it?"

Reaching out in a natural motion, Beatrice, who takes Subaru's hand, also goes into his arms without objection. Hold her up lightly and run out again in the same position you've come this far.

Even though I know it's pointless, Subaru goes to the east wing as he tries to kill his footsteps. There is no sign that Elsa is ahead of him, and he runs up the stairs to reach the second and third floors. I put my neck out in the dreaded aisle and tried to see if there were any shadows by the room of interest...

――――

In front of the room, Subaru can pull his neck in when he finds a shadow.

Beatrice in his arm nodded back to look up at this one silently, squeezing his jaw and slowly checking again - in front of the door, there is a tall figure trying to lean over.

It's far-sighted, but I can't go wrong with that long golden hair and service clothes.

It's Frederica. She stands up in front of Rem's sleeping room, waiting for Subaru with a tiger's eye, just like Subaru expected.

"What do we do...? Pretend you haven't noticed, how many voices do you speak without eating? If you haven't joined Elsa, before you realize we're still suspicious..."

"If your earlier predictions are correct, there's no reason for that maid to be in the mood when she brings in her enemies. And at the end of the day, when you broke up with that maid, did you go into the forbidden library? There's no excuse when you're out there."

"If we do, we'll just have to break through the front."

Frederica's prey - as far as Subaru could see, surely her weapon was a hook-clawed hand to be equipped with in both hands. It's called physical fitness, it's called the position of being Garfield's sister, and I haven't clearly confirmed that fighting power, but I'm pretty sure he's stronger than Subaru. Challenge directly from the front, something with a winning eye?

"Bump Shamak in at the opening, and if an ambush is established, is there one chang with Beatrice's long-range magic...? You don't have to be incapable of fighting, you just have to be able to retreat..."

"Sweet talk to the traitor. We have to be prepared to talk to someone who's going to stop us from breathing."

Beatrice's chilling remarks. Subaru was hesitant to do it, knowing it was best. Even though I know they're betraying this one, they're still close to each other. As long as that time is remembered, it is not easy for Subaru to divide it.

Even if, as a result, Frederica was deeply involved in Petra's death.

"Beatrice. I'll block my sight with Shamak, so I need a light shot."

"- Is that sweet enough to make my eyes hurt now?"

"Because I want to ask you something. Think of it as nothing more or less."

Over this period, Beatrice looked like he said, but when Subaru lowered his head, he breathed out of his nose small and said nothing.

Svalbard took a deep breath, flattering himself that he was sweet to her, opening and closing his palms. I still feel relaxed and tired, but if I shamak again or so...

"Meet me, my body. - Shamak!"

It flies out to roll into the aisle, and black smoke gushes from Subaru's stretched palms before Frederica looks back here.

It did not aim wrong, it covered the space between Subaru and Frederica and created the same situation as the forbidden library. As soon as I do, my head gets heavy on the drainage of unnecessary mana, and Svalbard on his knees breaks down a lot.

Beatrice walks out next to it and puts her hands forward. Something squeaks at the front of Beatrice, the atmosphere distorts and holes in the space, from which a pile of light purple flames emerges.

Floating purple blue piles, rocking the atmosphere with burning tips. - Obviously Subaru raised his voice to the kind of magic that was aimed at the fatal wound, but Beatrice tried to shoot that pile across the darkness without looking at Subaru's condition -.

"... it's crazy"

Pompous, Beatrice spills and tilts her neck.

Subaru is bewildered by her reaction, but with the pile floating, Beatrice stood her forward stretched right-hand finger and shook it gently from right to left.

Only then will the darkness of Shamak released by Subaru be removed from the aisle. As a user of yin magic, it is the result of interference by Beatrice, much higher than Subaru.

Subaru is gently deprived of the results produced in exchange for his bodily weakness and shuts up. but quickly scratched out my emotions about it, etc.

The reason Beatrice interrupted the attack was because Subaru also found out.

――――

Darkness goes straight down the clear passage, towards Frederica.

Squeezing Mana and dragging her billionaire body, Subaru goes beneath her at a tortoise crawling speed. But there is no need to be alarmed. No response from her. There isn't.

- No more forever, no more reaction from her.

"... why"

Frederica stood up in front of Rem's bedroom.

Kukli knife pierces its abdomen and stops her from sewing in the form of skewers at the door of the room. Armor on both hands with sloppy back. It seems that they engaged, and there was disturbance all over the garment, and I can tell that it was a fierce battle.

Frederica's body is already cold, and her soul has been out of that look for a long time. Subaru could also detect that the cheek-strengthened face was a regrettable bite of carelessness, where he would have worked diligently to guard this door to death.

In other words, Frederica stood around desperately to keep the Raiders out of this room.

There is no reason for a person who has guided the Raiders to go inside and do that.

"Scattered suspicion... is this it?"

Covering his face with his palms, Subaru embraces the unacceptable reality in front of him.

Blade wounds all over his body, and a fatal Frederica. Before this appearance, how could it be said that she was an insider and had betrayed us?

At the end of the break, this is the situation? Until then, you have to tailor Frederica to the bad guy is the solitude that wants to reduce your guilt that you doubted.

I have to admit.

- I was wrong.

Frederica was not betrayed.

I fight hard to protect Rem, and I'm fulfilling it. Due to the cold of his body, he could even have died before Petra in the dining room.

Very, I don't have time to guide Elsa to the forbidden library.

"... Lem is"

Poop, I can't think together like a blank was created in my skull.

Summarizing confusing thoughts somehow, the first thing Subaru thought was about the beloved girl who sleeps in the room where Frederica benevolently shelters behind her.

Frederica's body, which is a stiff beginning, is heavy, and it's heavy labor to get her out of the way with every door blade poked out. Care must also be taken to avoid any further damage to her body. Yet your fingertips, your mind diverge.

But as you betray such a Subaru consciousness,

- Finally, I found it.

From the penetration of the aisle, a black shadow appeared slippery.

Shaking the three braids, Elsa is in a low position with her eyes greedily wet over here as she pokes her hand at the floor. He's got his whole body tangled up in his gaze, and Subaru is rigid. Don't miss that gap, Elsa's shadow fills the aisle in an instant.

Soundless forward. That is indisputable and nothing short of 'death' proximity.

"It's so easy, it's a big mistake if you think you can do it."

But there was a presence that held Elsa back from moving forward.

Beatrice lifts her hand gently, stipulating to Elsa the aim of the purple blue pile that had earlier appeared and kept her waiting without turning it off.

The pile, which was interrupted earlier from firing, shouts delight at finding the spearhead of its destructive power.

"You're small, but you play with a lot of extreme toys"

"You can try it with your body to see if it's okay with a child's toy."

Elsa smiles before the vicious magic. Overwriting that smile with mockery, a purple blue pile is released from Beatrice's hand.

The bullet speed of the pile fired crosses the speed of Emilia's magic, ice-column firing streak, which I saw one day. Single shot, but the pile approaching directly from the front is a trajectory that collides head-on with Elsa, who was heading this way at just the same speed - but avoids this the more Elsa puts her chest on the floor, the more she avoids sleeping on depression.

"Too bad. Speed and aim are sweet to wear."

While she senses the murder weapon plunder the back of her head, Elsa whines at it in a manner that is neither afraid of shards, and targets Beatrice with a kukli knife held in reverse.

A dull glow approached Beatrice's body, turning that little body in two -.

"You're the one who's not thinking enough, Ningen."

Shortly before becoming, Beatrice holds the palm that was open. and the purple blue pile swelled up shortly afterwards. The pile, which was off target and disappeared straight across the aisle, swells, and behind Elsa, who stops moving, can bounce like a balloon bursts.

"- This is!

Fragments of the bounced pile became small piles, enclosing the entire perimeter of Elsa.

Even when it comes to small piles, their size is comparable to the index finger of Subaru's hand. That filled the universe innumerably, pointing the tip towards Elsa.

And

"I wonder if it's punishment for vandalizing Betty's library. - You just have to rip it apart and finish it."

A purple blue pile was fired to cut a ruthless declaration.
