Chapter Four: 78: The Sound That Makes You Want to Cry
"Being so small, being so firm... it's like you're not a child. It's painful, you can't look at it, ha."
Listening to Sekhmet's words, which he regarded as childlike, he thought Subaru, trapped in his little shell, might be "right".
Be stubborn, believe this, be firm without even listening to the voices around you - but this is the best way to do it, with less damage and certainty.
I get the opportunity as many times as I can to sweeten myself to the repetition of the world and try infinitely if Subaru continues to pay his life for it. I'm sure many, many times in it, Subaru's heart will wear out and rub off.
But when that's how it's going to be brittle and crumbly, Subaru has already gotten enough words to excite himself.
- Subaru is a Lem hero.
That's right. For Subaru, that's enough.
If there is that word and the appearance of everyone ahead of you who has shrunk your soul, I don't want any more.
What's wrong with that?
"- Bal, don't you have one?
To the lid, the voice of the toddler sounded a place of silence, and the witches faintly breathed.
A small palm strokes the head of Subaru, who rounds his body. Hey, if Subaru raises his blurred vision with tears, it's the brown-skinned girl there that lightly shows up.
'The Witch of Arrogance' received a weak Subaru gaze,
"You look so cute.... who is it?
Tefon, who was breaking his knee, stood up and wandered around the witches who stood silently.
The girl, who housed the swordswallowing light in her eyes, in turn saw the witch's blush and finally raised her eyebrows when she noticed the presence of Satella.
"Terra? Is Terra there? Why? Hiccup."
Waving his raised hand and calling on Satella, but the belligerent colour never fades from Tuphon's eyes. The first person to speak to that tuffon attitude was Sekumeto, who leaks a carefree exhale and wakes up his body.
"Tefon...... ha. I'm just taking it in now, duh. Don't irritate the kid, ha. Come here, Phew."
"Ha, bad for Bal? Is that Aknin?
"Mother, ha. You're not strong enough to be a bad guy, huh? I don't think I'm willing to work or let you work, huh?"
Tefon nodded small at Secumeto's answer, but there was no sign of leaving Subaru according to what he said, and now look at Minerva's.
"What about Luva? About Bal, bullying... no."
"Why aren't you asking me? That's not weird. I'm not just always healing about people, but sometimes I leave it to violent emotions that dull in my heart to scratch... scratch, scratch... maybe."
"It would be hard to imagine a child who would bluish such a face just because of his imagination, resorting to violence."
Echidna shrugs her shoulders and puts tea in Minerva's faint answer to his credibility. As Minerva sharpened her gaze and stared at Echidna, Tefon, gazed at Echidna in the same way, distorting her young face to the face.
"It's Donna. Donna, did you do something terrible again? Donna, is that Aknin?
"I wonder what it means to be definitive about me. Around there, I just want to ask the parents of the upbringing for more information, what do you think?
"Daily routine, huh?"
Put your hands on your forehead like Sekhmet is tired. Tefon doesn't leave the side of Subaru and looks like he's making a leap to find her "Subaru Crying Aknin" without alarm.
"Nevertheless," said Echidna, narrowing her eyes to the appearance of such a young witch,
"When it comes to putting your face up to Tefon here, isn't it almost all right? Now if we're going to face Daphne, we'll remember four hundred years ago..."
"Now, you're shouting about Daphne?
A black-painted coffin appears abruptly in the meadow, as echidna exclaimed.
In the coffin, his whole body was sealed in restraint, and his eyes were closed as well, "The Raging Witch" Daphne.
She sounded that little nose and seemed to have tested the identity of everyone on the spot just by smell,
"Regardless of Subaru, are you even in Terra Terra? Isn't that amazing? There are seven witches of great sin, all the way up to the Sage candidate on top of them..."
"Daphne. - He hasn't gotten that far yet"
"... oh, well, I'm sorry. Nevertheless...... shun. You smell salty. Hey, is anybody crying? Nell. Nell?
Not reading the air, a sloppy tone of voice slamming loosely through an urgent situation.
The castle of dreams today, with all seven witches, including Satella, is a sight that did not materialize that way even in the height of the witches four hundred years ago.
With only seven, the witches who once chaos the world - and some of them are in a state of one-touch immediacy - the scene today was an aggregation of forces that could even change the shape of the world depending on things.
"The Arrogant Witch" is to bring judgment to the person who made the little boy cry.
"The Angry Witch" grips and consolidates her fists in order to make the thoughts of the intimate witch standing beside her.
"The Lazy Witch," watch out for everyone's movements, but feel free to crush them instantly if you need anything.
"The Witch of Sexuality" can only protect herself in a certain situation while maintaining her attitude without my involvement.
"The Raging Witch" already doesn't care about changing circumstances and so on, worrying about whose fingers are best to wrap around to satisfy the hunger.
"The Witch of Greed" shines her eyes on her curiosity about the Tea Party today, neglecting the existence of one witch, but not knowing what the outcome will be.
And it's not "The Jealous Witch," Satella is...
"I love you. - Because you gave me the light. Because you took my hand and taught me the outside world. Because you've been holding my hand by my side the night I tremble in solitude. Because you talked me out of being alone. I got too much from you.... so I love you. Because you gave me everything."
――――
Satella's whisper is one thing I don't remember for Subaru.
I don't know, I don't know anything. I've never met Satella, I've exchanged words, I've never overlapped warmth. She says it's a product of paranoia. A woman crazy about her passion is just seeing fantasies in Subaru side by side with an unlikely fantasy.
That's supposed to happen, but 'Natsuki Subaru' knows that.
"Why... what is this in me? I don't want this emotion. Don't tie me up because I don't remember... I don't know what you are...
I hate you, just say something, tell him.
You can poke at the person you're turning your thoughts on and tell him that there's not a single favor or anything like that here. When you do that, it's a look at what someone looks like trying to twist and bend people's emotions on their own. Come on, you'll be brazenly distorting your face to heartache.
- How can you do that to her?
"Bal?"
"Boy..."
"Oh, the child of..."
"You...... ugh"
"Sounds good?
"- Oh, that's one choice. Natsuki Subaru"
The witches called Subaru to each of them, and Echidna pulled his jaw small on the outcome of the call.
"- Oh, bu"
- With a nod to the ground, Subaru was chewing off his own tongue.
The witches were hunting me down and I didn't know everything.
Not to mention what's left of Subaru if he's not even free of his will in this situation where he's going to be able to twist the way his mind is.
I don't even want to go through with it, I just need to be denied, not yet.
When being in contact with Satella made me even accept to be denied - that was horrible to Subaru.
- What the hell happens if you lose your life in the castle of your dreams?
Subaru's flesh should now be inside the 'sanctuary' graveyard.
It is the spirit body of Subaru that is called here, if you ask me, only the soul. If the mental body has lost its life here, will it be fed back into the flesh? Or is it the death of the soul?
I don't mind. If you're going to die and start over, then be prepared.
Without the help of the witches, shrug yourself off more than ever, run out of all the extra elements, and just work hard, I'm sure the road will open - that way, I will.
"This, idiot -!"
As soon as he realized Subaru's self-harm, Minerva rolled up his sleeve and advanced. He runs out to beat Subaru to heal with a fist whose healing power is regarded. but before that, it was Tefon standing beside Subaru who interrupted.
The young witch spreads its little body full and stops at Minerva,
"Bal Ha Ji Ban Yan! You can't let Luva fool around!
"I will not tolerate one thing in front of me: self-harm, self-determination, other wounds, other killings! You've never known the agony of your heart! An invisible wound is not what I knew! So! I don't overlook only the scratches I see instead!
Stepping into the ground with one shot, a fist in the wind of Minerva approaches the face of Tefon.
The power of the fist to be screwed is powerful enough to crush the mountain, but at the moment of the organism's direct strike, the destructive energy is converted into healing energy. However, only the impact of the shock wave and the blow strikes through the subject being beaten as it is.
The explosion sounds and Minerva's arm, stretching out, plays Tephon to one of Kaishin's shots.
The underdeveloped girl's body blew up like a leaf of a tree, dancing high through the temporary first blue sky of the meadow. A relentless sight - but Tefon wasn't the only one who suffered the damage.
"- Huh!"
The right arm of Minerva, shaken off, becomes like an ice crystal from his shoulder and splashes.
Touching the judgment of The Arrogant Witch, it is the result of the denial of an act judged to be 'evil'.
Minerva looks up in the sky at the pain of losing her arm, opens her mouth wide and screams -,
"Knock-ass!!
No.
The Angry Witch, sensitive to the pain of others, lags behind everywhere for her pain.
That's what put Natsuki Subaru's way of life on the shelf, and I'm behind him.
"Anyway, now - heh!
The disturbance is gone, Minerva leaps to Subaru twisting his remaining left arm. From directly above, the brass arm was struck down by a subaru,
"Next thing you know, it's me, huh?"
Blonde hair was frightened and Minerva was slammed to the ground for a moment.
Minerva, who is pressed all over the ground and produces a man-shaped indentation on the meadow, raises his face and shouts his face, which turns bright red in anger, towards Sekhmet, who is sitting physically.
"Get out of my way -! Secumeto -!"
"That's not going to happen, huh? I'm emotionally on his side, huh? I'm also on Tefon's side, if you add it, duh. There's no reason not to interrupt, huh?"
To Sekhmet's declaration of hostility, Minerva bites his lips in remorse and looks around.
But Daphne and Carmilla are neutral against this feud, and even Echidna is a bystander who observes the consequences. And Satella...
"Ahhh... ahhh..."
He collapses on his knees on the spot, shaking his voice at Subaru, who spits a lot of blood out of his mouth.
Savoring the feeling of drowning, the lobster and his throat blocked by overflowing blood and a thousand slit tongues, Subaru captured the state of its satire at the edge of his consciousness.
Cry, are you there?
Seeing Subaru's 'death', he looks more upset than ever.
"How can you not notice...? Of all the things you wish to save, it's only natural that you should be there."
Why do you think Subaru like that?
In her delusions, how much of Subaru has supported her mind?
"Just like those who are gasping on the path of destiny, even to you it is visiting. I'm just saying that you have the only possibility of being able to override it... even you are someone who should be saved, why not?"
That's all wrong.
Subaru is a guy who can't help it, he hasn't even done what he thought he could reach, he can't even save the person he wanted to save, he's not out of being a halfway guy.
Didn't you swear that you were going to get out of there and stop doing half of it?
When I dressed up, I wondered if that's what I'd decided.
- I have a weak self in me that I don't want to be weak with.
Natsuki Subaru's weakness can no longer be shown to anyone.
You have to live a strong, noble, hard-working, heroic way.
One girl wanted it from Subaru. It's a curse Subaru put on her, and Subaru has a responsibility to reward her for tying it with that curse. No, it's not about responsibility. It's just that if she believes that, you can believe it. That's what I want.
You said Subaru that you liked her, so I want you to keep telling her that you like her.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
If anyone could spare Subaru's 'death', it would be her.
Choosing 'Death' would betray her for believing in Subaru. Of course, Subaru is not going to end with 'death' alone. I'm prepared to let 'death' even be a stepping stone to get everything back in order to defeat the reason for 'death'.
But I wonder what that's like for those left behind by Subaru who chose 'death'.
Don't think about it.
Do not know. That's a dangerous idea.
It's okay. Natsuki Subaru, that's it.
Don't think that someone is sparing you.
I'm not such a worthy person. Subaru's life is expendable. It should be expendable, just use it, use it up and get to the end of it that way.
It doesn't matter, don't make the most of dying and face your 'death'.
Break it up. You don't have to think about it. It's a decision to throw away what you have to throw away to pick up what you want to pick up. Anyone does. Subaru, you can do that.
You should be saved, if you can help your loved ones.
If that's all you can do, Subaru...
"In two 'trials', what the hell have you... seen...?
Trial. - Trial. Trials, 'Trials'. Trial Trial Trial Trial, 'Trial' Trial Trial Trial, Trial -?
I have extremely dull head rotation due to lack of oxygen and shock.
I think Subaru is blurred when even his sight is finally obscured and the world is starting to flash red, noise runs like a TV sandstorm and it's time for an end.
The end comes slowly.
This is the first time we've come to 'Death' several times, and counting is a hundred million hijacks, but that's okay.
All of a sudden, you have to repeat yourself to death so that you don't want to count.
I don't think I can keep that kind of spirituality so that I can count the number of 'deaths'.
Steel heart.
There's nothing to sway about, a steel heart, with...
As it were, Subaru's consciousness slowly, lost,
Eventually, disappear,
"I hope so, son."
I heard a noise.
From beyond the noise, from the disturbing reflection of the sound, a slightly clearer sound was heard.
- Come on in.
I heard it again.
I heard a different noise. But what I bring to my chest is the same, I heard a noise.
I wanted to call you my friend.
Different sounds, different thoughts to feel.
Sounds terrible, unsettling. Sounds comfortable though.
"Lord Subaru... sorry, no... eh"
Another sound.
Coming to your chest is a feeling of loneliness and something similar to your vision, a sound that makes you sorry.
"As much as you're not that person... I know... but"
I heard my chest tighten.
When I hear that sound, I can't stand it sexually. Sounds like crying. The sound you shouldn't make me cry. The sound of having to protect you. Sound. Sound.
'Show me the cool part, let me see. Subaru-kun'
Out of the way, the sound of something playing inside me reacted to the sound.
My whole body gets hot. Driven by a sense of purpose. I've always been supported by this sound.
And
"Thank you, Subaru"
I heard a noise.
- Help me, help me.
- Announcing the beginning of it all, the sound, did.
Will I cry?
Will those who Svalbard cares about grieve for it if they find out that Svalbard is dead?
Did the irreplaceable people who remained there, in a world where Subaru took himself off by experiencing 'death', spare Subaru's death and grieve for me?
Did they regret the lack of strength and also regret that time when they lost Subaru without one more step, as Subaru repeated 'Back to Death' for the best?
Important, there are people who think so.
There are people who believe that we need to protect them.
There are those who can hope that we must rescue them from the path of destiny.
- Is it worth being spared by those loved ones for yourself?
Can I fall in love with myself?
My loved ones think that even I am important.
Even if I believe it, is it okay?
Even I am so needed by those who want to protect me.
Even if I wish, will I be forgiven?
Even me, there are people who tear me to be lost, and it's worth having me reach out and rescue them.
- Even if I think about it, is it okay?
He doesn't want to die.
If that's the only way, I don't want to give up.
He said he didn't want to disappear on that foundation to protect the future of his loved ones.
He wants to be with his loved ones in that future that he could protect.
Can I think of it that way?
Do I deserve that?
If there is...
"I don't want to die..."
A mass of blood made a noise and spilled, and a voice sounded alongside the sound of air leaking out.
His throat, which should have been blocked by biting off his tongue, opens and his mouth moves puckedly in search of oxygen all around his wheeze. My lungs swell, oxygen turns to my brain, and my blurred vision begins to return.
And
"That would be the real thing... ugh"
- 'Angry Witch', who blushed right in front of me and treated Subaru with a head poke, had reached with guts, losing both legs.
