Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

- The fact that two important people are going to be gone at the same time.

Naturally, before an experience that had never happened in the previous loop, the inside of Subaru was just scorched by a sense of impatience.

Running through the 'Sanctuary', Subaru heads to the makeshift accommodation where Ryuz lived. While renting a house to Emilia, Ryuz talked about using a cabin outside the village for a living.

"... are you kidding?"

Garfiel, who was royal in the building, greets Subaru, who rampantly pushes the door open and steps in. He put his arms together, wrinkled around his nose and stared at Subaru as he exposed his frustration,

"Late. I've kept people waiting. I've got cancer."

"Yes, I've been in a hurry... what better way than missing Mr. Lewes?

"As you can see."

Garfiel to sneeze his jaw and show him inside a small room. Looking over, it's not a place where there's so much space. Ryuz's temporary residence is like a digging shed, which is as simple as having a bed tucked away in a cramped room.

And if you can't find the figure of the crown on that bed, there's no question you're away.

With his breath in place, Subaru brutally wipes his sleeves of sweat that transmits to his jaw.

"I know you're not there... but isn't it an exaggeration that you're missing? Even Mr. Lewes is a fine adult against his seemingly young age. It's not like I'm walking for a walk and making a scene..."

"What the hell do you know?" Baba didn't show her face once before without telling her why for breakfast. I saw you sleeping, you were sick, and you were walking, right? I'm going to kill you. "

"How much of an at-home relationship are you and Mr. Lewes when the tone is abusive..."

Even though the circumstances are the circumstances, it is powerless with almost no basis for deciding that crown is missing. But Garfield is not in the eye for weakness.

He finally stuffed himself into a spine-stretched Subaru, stripping his fangs out,

"Never before happened suddenly this morning. If something ever happens in this settlement right now, even idiots know it's because they're involved. - Meh, I guess I did something extra to Baba."

Although it is a rhetorical yamako, only this time Garfield's suspicions are shooting straight.

Ryuz - The person in charge today should be θ, but θ's disappearance will almost certainly be caused by Subaru. As with Emilia, θ is also hard to believe that someone has taken her away.

On his own feet, he left this place without leaving a legend for Garfiel. She too, like Emilia, is held back by the 'sanctuary' junction, and fleeing outside will not come true. If so, theta's purpose is to escape and hide. - That too, this one has an even more pressing time limit than Emilia.

"In θ's case, we need to find it by the end of the day..."

The role is ceded, and tomorrow I will switch to another crown - either alpha, beta, or si. If that happens, it will probably not be possible to have a place for discussion with θ by the limit in two days' time, which also means a complete setback in the 'sanctuary' offense as it is.

"Shit...?

To Subaru, who calls the crown that, Garfield has a question mark on his face.

subaru, who wanted to seek help finding θ, saw the look on Garfield's face and thought of it.

The questions that arose clogged Subaru's earlier words.

――――

That was a simple question, and yet one that I had never been sure of before.

- Does Garfield know that there are four representative personalities of the crown?

It's Garfield, who knows the abandonment laboratory behind the woods and Ryus Mayer in the crystal. He also challenges the Trial and meets Echidna, who is also the holder of his credentials as the Apostle of Greed. Garfield, who is also the current owner of the command of the replica, naturally knows that the crown is a replica of the body, and that there are numerous melons.

But beyond that? Does Garfield know that the epitome of the crown is the presence of four people: α, β, Σ, θ?

"Huh? What are you suddenly silent about? If you have any idea, make a clean confession." Honest and honest libs are happy even if they deceive you. "

"Well, Lib, you're fooling me to the end..."

While portraying the princely story of happiness, Subaru haunts his mind about how he should respond to Garfiel's pursuit.

Relativity to Garfield is the last gateway to the 'Sanctuary' offense. To be honest, the lack of preparedness is also a serious challenge from within which we have not been able to hear the inside of θ's belly. But even if I don't, depending on how I respond here, I have to touch it there.

- How should I respond? Thoughtful quotes, Subaru said,

"Hey, Garfield. You, if that bothers you, aren't you supposed to be able to summon Mr. Lewes?

"- Huh!!

Shortly after he ran out of words, Subaru saw Garfield's expression change dramatically. Furthermore, Garfiel shakes his eyes to agitation and immediately grabs Subaru's chest barn and pulls it all together.

Close enough that his forehead and forehead were likely to bump, Garfiel was so angry at his golden eyes that his gaze seemed to burn his opponent down, so intense.

"I don't know what you're trying to say, but I'm not as cute as shards and mufflums, Oi."

"Mi, I don't know what a mufflum is... but I don't even know what this looks like. It's his reaction, hey... let go, idiot"

Blood went up on his head and grabbed Subaru's chest barn, where he stood back to calm? Garfiel's words trying to hide what he shouldn't say are ruptured.

Garfiel's hand slammed with a star at Subaru's pointing loose, and Subaru waves his body in between to escape his restraint. correct the clothes that have become good, one step, open the distance, then

"What I'm trying to say is what I mean by words. You're not so sorry you don't know that. I have the means. The quickest solution. Why don't you pick it"

"Take it easy, you tell me... ugh"

Abominably distorted cheeks, Garfiel stares at Subaru in a heartfelt abomination.

But while the emotions that dwell in my eyes reinforce the proportion of anger and hostility, I also found Svalbard to have a shadow of sorrow so clearly visible.

When Svalbard's expression changed when he noticed the emotion of his grief, Garfiel tongues and turns away from the fact that he saw the shadow of the emotion floating in him.

"I'm not caught off guard because I'm qualified. I don't know if that sexually evil witch is going to blow me inside. Crap, crap."

――――

"I don't even know about Baba's lab. Then you'll also find out about the great yuan of Baba in the stone, but it's not going to work that way."

Garfiel holds his right hand inside his chest and tries to hide it from Subaru's gaze. It won't be there directly, but it probably indicates that you own the invisible thing called 'command'.

To Subaru, who interprets the present modus operandi as such, Garfiel holds his arm in his arms,

"Me, Me, and Rosewar, no. Even if I knew it was there, I'd use it as a good idea... I'd never, ever think about it."

"... Garfiel"

"I'm good enough on my own. If I'm alone, I don't need anything else. I'm going to use this power until the earthquake of the earthquake comes. - Grandma's my grandma."

Pompous, the last squeal I spilled.

Only once before has he called the crown "grandma". In addition to that this time, I didn't even say 'me' to boast about myself.

It leaked out unintentionally. Is that what Garfiel meant?

"- Shit."

Noticing himself mouthing something extra, Garfiel kicks the floor in frustration. Subaru waits for Garfiel's action as the entire digging cabin sways to excessive power, feeling the paralysis and dust fall on his head and neck.

Understanding that he was the only one who was getting hot, Garfiel bragged his expression even more uncomfortably, ramblingly pushing Subaru in front of the door of the room.

"Get out of the way. I don't need you for me. If you can't get a hit on Baba right away, I'll just find him first. Still, I won't let you touch me."

"I'm the cause, I'm the cause. You'll decide a lot."

"Until Mei Mei... Mei Mei La arrived, nothing happened here and it was peaceful. I'll get that time back. Inside and out, I don't need anything anymore.... I'm not here."

Leaving it weak, Garfiel leaves the cabin with a big crotch. Going out, he quickly gently flexes that knee, accelerating at once with his beastly leg strength - saying it's the main road, but running away at such a speed that it becomes invisible in seconds of things.

Paying for the dirt smoke caused by Garfield's kicking feet with his arms, Subaru checks inside the room again before going outside after him.

Regardless of Garfield, who came to a short-circuit conclusion, did the crown really walk away from here without leaving any trace? For once, I'm not even leaving you with one of the tips on where to go -.

"Oh, my God, if that's the case, someone I've known longer than me has noticed. If I didn't have a better nose than him, I'd be blind."

I searched around for about five minutes and sighed masochistically about not finding anything. Then Subaru also goes outside the cabin and sends his gaze toward the settlement, thinking.

――――

Emilia and Ryuse θ, they've both disappeared at about the same time.

Perhaps each is a form of spontaneous exit from the building and escape from the eyes of Subaru and others. Is it possible that the two of them are acting together?

"From what I've seen, I don't remember Emilia and Mr. Lewes getting along..."

In "Sanctuary" it was Emilia who was constantly haunting her mind about the issues of the King's race and "Trials". I can't think of a memory of her having an interaction with someone in peace at the moment.

At best, I think there were few words I also interacted with representatives of the 'sanctuary', such as Ryus and Garfiel, where I would have had an irresistible conversation with around Subaru, Ram and Otto.

Now that I think about it, it emerges that the lack of such contact with the outside may have led to the result of the inner search for responsibility for Emilia's lonely sense of mission. If Subaru had stood around better, wouldn't Emilia have been able to spare her emotions and also look for clearer solutions?

"That and this, too much now..."

Now it's not if you're doing a reflection on what caused Emilia to disappear, a distant cause. Above all, if we stick around, the only reason for this is Subaru's own self-denial.

Anyway, I don't have time right now to make myself susceptible to negative thoughts such self-loathing.

"Wasn't it fortunate that Garfield didn't know Emilia was missing... he shouldn't have done anything to look for it before Mr. Ryus, but I guess he figured out what he'd be offered for that reason"

But that relief will also be pointless if Subaru fails to secure Emilia early. And about crown θ, it wasn't a good issue to send ahead.

θ will also be under the protection of an overprotective garfield in the future if it cannot be secured before the garfield, making contact more difficult.

I mean, when you explicitly culture what Subaru has to do,

"Secure Emilia and crown θ before Garfield. I also have to secure both within half a day and ask Emilia to recover from θ the reasons for her opposition to the liberation of the 'sanctuary' and challenge her to the 'trials'......?

"... Mr. Natsuki, how much do you feel if you keep walking down Tsutsu's path"

Subaru's conclusion can only be described as dark ahead rather than heavy. At the time I mouthed it, Otto, who had just come to the entrance to the cabin, pinched his mouth.

Arriving a long way behind the rushing Subaru, Otto frowns as Subaru looks around in a scattered, rough room in search of traces.

"I'm looking for a home, and I just want some more character. Looks like your discussion with Garfield is over."

"I'm safe, but it's tough when I say if there's been a harvest. In the meantime, I was able to reconfirm the situation and the next action plan based on it whined earlier"

"Before I could solve the problem, I could only hear that there was another problem overlapping."

…………

To Otto's best feelings, Subaru drops his shoulder without being able to tap lightly anymore.

Still somewhat easier than just now because Otto's presence forced him to 'not have to keep bothering alone'?

"... that's how I find myself in trouble when I look blatantly relieved, really"

"-? What?

"I'm talking about this one. I guess I'm not aware of it. I guess not. If they're doing this, I'm totally on the balls."

Subaru tilts his neck to Otto, who is scratching his shin and gray hair. but he did not return an answer to Subaru's questionable expression, "Anyway!" Turn up your voice,

"I'm pretty sure the situation that was blocked got even worse. What will you do? Even though there are even more bad conditions overlapping on the terms you wanted to escape, how do you open them? Now I still feel forgiven for throwing it all out and running away."

"Leaving behind everything I've seen, heard and been involved with so far, huh? Such an irresponsible imitation is not a personality that neither I nor you can do."

"... Master Emilia may have done it."

Otto distracts his gaze and squeals around exhaling.

No offense, you just wanted to put the grievances built up in your chest on the table. Subaru does nothing more than blame him for that attitude.

However, against his words, Subaru shook his head small to the side,

"Even Emilia is like running away with her tail wrapped around a problem on her back..."

"Can you tell me there isn't? Mr. Natsuki. I've been meaning to tell you for a while now that your eyes have gone too far on all the beautiful parts of Emilia?

"... what does that mean? I'm sure Emilia's pretty enough to crush her eyes."

"I'll admit it honestly, but you know that's not what I mean."

The lesser light mouth is flushed easily and Subaru bends his lips and bathes Otto's gaze.

Otto, who sees even the painful ones, says, "Okay?" and put your fingers up,

"I'm the person you fell in love with, so I know you want to see all the good sides. That will remain the case. You can't blame them for projecting your ideals."

――――

"But even Master Emilia is not the perfect person. Instead, he's a person with a lot of problems. That's not within your power, Emilia. Including the part, yes. Because Emilia has her origins, her position and all sorts of marks."

To Otto, who arranges words fluently, Subaru wondered if he had prepared words with the intention of preaching to himself something close to this for a long time.

And it is true that his words consisted only of truths that did not allow room for objection.

"Of course, those external factors have nothing to do with Emilia's own inner integrity. Let's be honest about your beautiful appearance. But, Mr. Natsuki. Even Emilia is a human species... a normal, single woman. Normal feminine troubles, weaknesses, and ugly parts will go hand in hand."

"That's only for Emilia..."

"That's how it's strange to think blindly that Master Emilia is a different frame. Mr. Natsuki himself, you saw the missing part of Emilia so badly in this' sanctuary ', didn't you? That is not limited to this occasion, it is possible to do as much in the future. Anyway, Emilia is looking for a place so high that no one can reach her."

throne. That is how Otto credits Emilia for the height she should aspire to and the top of it.

Like Emilia, Subaru knows the blush that goes for its top.

Kursch Karsten is clean, honest, with high ideals and solid execution.

Priscilla Burriel with an arrogant, nasty, but thus never shaking self.

Greedy and calculating, Anastasia Horsin poured everything to fulfill her dreams and ascended to her current position with unparalleled strength of battle.

A felt that emerged from a poor and weak position into one and still showed an upward orientation that did not allow it to stop on the spot and an age-appropriate vessel.

Any candidate is coming to the king's race with strong aspirations and virtues that do not give way to others.

Is there anything that Emilia deserves as she lays shoulder to shoulder with those good enemies?

Just sweet, kinder hearted than anyone. Is that not enough?

"Now, Master Emilia doesn't have enough of all sorts of things. It's not finished. Because you are such an Emilia, you may be afraid of the ordeal that comes down before you and want to escape. How can Mr. Natsuki not think that now is the time to do so and want to run away?

"... it is. That's me, Emilia will never..."

Absolutely. It's hard for Subaru to put words ahead of it.

I can't find it. I do feel dull inside this chest, feelings for Emilia. We should argue against the word to Otto on this occasion. What words can I use to decorate it?

――――

"... strong, hey"

Otto raised his roots to a wordless gaze at Subaru, who bites his lips and sees himself with eyes that merely reside in a clear will to rebel.

He shrugged his shoulders, shook his head like a shudder, then looked up at the settlement,

"You won't have to come to the conclusion of this story on this occasion. Even if we talk about it, things won't go any further. Emilia and Ryuz, it doesn't change our plight that we have to find them both."

"... bad. I really need to talk to you more properly."

"I'll take a big look, I'm a friend. - So, what do we do?

Outside with his jaw - showing the 'sanctuary', Otto entrusts the course of action to Subaru.

Run or fight. Which of the two missing people should we go looking for? It's Otto's trust in Subaru itself.

I don't even mean to treat you lightly, but Subaru laughs at herself when it's a blessed story.

And

"Garfield's guy doesn't know Emilia's gone. Neither is Emilia's problem because Garfield found her. - The worst part is if Garfield secures Mr. Lewes first. If you can't make the opportunity to discuss it with Mr. Lewes, you can assume that the best ending will stay away."

"... that is"

"- Let's find Mr. Lewes. Find out before Garfield and listen."

"- Emilia. Everyone has a little important story to tell. So just wait and see where you're going."

With that said, in the sinus of the great tree behind the woods - commonly known as the "princess room" - it was one of the most disaffected events for young Emilia.

Emilia grew up adored by everyone in a forest settlement where the elves lived to hide.

The grownups were all there to be nice to Emilia, and if they were a little selfish, they would have gone out with me without a disgusting face. I also felt some loneliness for not having had the opportunity to deal with children my age, but I have to keep my word. Mother Fortna, my mother's substitute, told me that such decisions were well respected.

Fortna was taking care of Emilia in the Elf settlement, a mother's replacement.

She had purple blue eyes on her silver hair and the same physical characteristics as Emilia, but her long hair was cut short and aligned as annoying, with sharp eyes very different from Emilia's later.

Emilia doesn't remember when she lived with Fortona. However, she was told that she was not a real mother, but a blood relative to her aunt.

"I'm yours, your father's sister. Brother... Emilia's father and mother are too busy to be together right now... so you're in my custody"

Emilia was devastated by that explanation of Fortona. Even so, it is not a shock in a negative image. It was Fortna who claimed that she was not the real mother every time, but she was definitely Emilia's mother.

And despite having such a Fortna mother, she says she even has two fathers and a real mother. Normally, parents should only have two fathers and a mother. Yet I have one father and two mothers. Oh, my God, I thought you were happy.

"Emilia's silver hair is from her brother. The color of our eyes seems to have had a lot of impact on our family.... but my mother gave me a sweet face. We all have bad eyes."

"... I like Mother Fortna's eyes, don't I?

Tough, tough eyes are routine. Occasionally, breaking the dice and pissing Fortna off, its harsh eyes added even more sharpness, causing Emilia to tremble a lot.

Except in such a nasty mood, however, Fortona was the ideal mother for Emilia. Its sharp eyes can also be touched with loving feelings.

Fortna was a tough but sweet mother.

Emilia understood from an early age that she applied a harsh tone to her behavior to what seemed excessive to the young Emilia, but they were all thought of Emilia.

I have never been accompanied by violence, and I have never been unreasonably scolded or hit. Even if I rarely scolded and cried at Emilia for doing evil, the night we made up she hugged me and slept with me all night in the same bed.

"Wow, I regret something. He said he should have been more kind to all kinds of people. If I had thought that earlier, I'm sure my brother wouldn't have been the last to rely on me either."

Wow, Fortna was lonely on the side when she put it into words.

Because it was strong and strong and remained in Emilia, Emilia decided to emulate it even more herself. I decided to use it, not when I was sad, but when I was happy or laughing.

It was a shallow wish of the child to smear the cliché of a symbolic mother for her with good memories, that there was nothing like her own mother carrying sadness and loneliness.

"Mmmm...... boring"

The story goes back to the beginning, and Emilia is trapped alone, in the 'Princess Room'.

Princess, I don't really like the way they call me, but that's what everyone in the village calls me, so it's also a name I'm totally used to now.

I never offered to stop because I knew it was familiar, not ridiculed. But being pulled to the room that traps it was one of the few grievances for young Emilia.

"Guys, what are you doing..."

Emilia will be trapped in the 'Princess Room' when someone decides to visit the settlement. A small number of people were entering the woods and visiting the elves' lair, and Emilia felt it on her skin, not heard from anyone.

In fact, this feeling is the result of Emilia's unconscious interference with the micro spirits of the forest and the fact that she was getting information from those who had to exist, but Emilia doesn't realize it at this time.

I just spend my time holding my knees in a small room, turning the page of a book given to me to kill time, or playing with a shitty doll made by Fortna.

The adults were the only ones who knew about the secret discussions, but children other than themselves seem to be mixed up there, because it was Emilia's dissatisfaction these days.

It was Mother Fortna who taught Emilia not to lie or hide things. Isn't it a bad thing that those Fortona mothers and adults are hiding or lying to Emilia?

One time in the princess's room, which is visited more often than once a dozen days. So far Emilia has not been bad enough to put it on the table, even if she is unhappy.

But at this time, my time in the princess room, which I don't know how many more times, and the fact that I had a small argument with Fortna the night before. Most importantly, it was the decision hit that I forgot to bring the doll I got from Fortna into my room and left it in my own room.

"Well, I'd like to go."

Pompous, that was just one word that no one would ask me, just whined.

But Emilia's spilled it never got asked by anyone she knew, but it sounded right to 'them' knowing her.

――

In the sinus, blue and white phosphorescence mixes in the lid in a room that was illuminated by the white light of ragmite ore. Blinking her eyes, Emilia was blinded by that light that suddenly gushed.

Phosphorescent danced loosely in front of Emilia, tickling the curiosity of the young girl and captivating her, moving towards the end of the princess room - disappearing to be sucked into the wall.

――――

Standing up, Emilia heads in a terrible foothold to where the light has gone out. There was a little fear, but more curiosity was scorching the young girl's chest.

Standing in front of the wall where the light was sucked in, Emilia was checking the feel of the tree in her hand, just soaked up and found enough holes in the wall for a small arm to pass through.

The blue and white light just came out of here.

The front door of the princess room is closed from the outside and cannot be opened from the inside. Even if Emilia tries to escape, it's a mechanism that won't let her out.

Now that I thought about it, the treatment was by no means excessive, but Emilia, who took it for granted, had no doubt.

However, Emilia shook her mind between curiosity and her mother's temper when she found the possibility that she might be able to get out of a place she shouldn't be able to.

I want to know what everyone in the settlement is doing outside while I'm gone.

However, Mother Fortna told me to protect you. Princess, I have to wait here until Fortna returns to her room.

But I wonder if I could try a way to sneak out, take a peek at what everyone's doing, and then come back.

Besides, it's the grownups who broke their promises first that they shouldn't lie or hide anything.

About one, about Emilia broke it, wouldn't you say hi?

――――

That was a pretty big name for a little girl who thought hard.

Holes with arms in them are, if you look closely, one of the gaps in the roots of the trees that intertwine. If we tried hard, the gap would be slight, but there was certainly a response to widening.

Relying on that feeling, the young Emilia pushes through the roots of the tree and leaps to secure space for herself to pass through. Sweat on his forehead, muddy his clothes, and leave traces of finding out even if he says to Fortna now, "Nothing happened," yet Emilia manages to widen the gap between the roots of the tree in this way and succeeds in crawling out of the sinus.

"-"

Emilia had a strange sense of accomplishment in her chest when she went outside and caught the wind.

He said he'd done something bad that would piss him off, but even now he would go to Fortna and be filled with the desire to brag, "Eh, I can do it".

Of course, doing that was sure to piss her off like fire, so Emilia made a stop at herself just before she ran out. It was a dangerous place.

But Emilia thinks so too.

- I followed the stupid conclusion at this time that I should have gone to Mother Fortna to praise me, where I did everything in my power to be angry, cry and call and regret, and forget about the gap in the roots of the tree.

If that happens, the trigger for later tragedies shouldn't have had to be pulled.

- Tragedy, what is it?

The voice of doubt remains unreachable to the young Emilia, who made her escape from the princess's room, rushing out for a small run towards those who would have everyone in spite.

The consciousness of doing something wrong forced Emilia to peek as she hid there. Everyone's place is blurred thanks to the cooperation of the microspirits.

Before long, Emilia discovered that there was everyone in the square of the settlement. And there, I also saw a group of strange black costumes from Emilia together.

――――

At one time, hiding behind a large tree, the young Emilia gently climbs over its branches. The little Emilia is quite nasty, and moving from tree to tree like a small animal has troubled the grown-ups trying to catch her.

Either way, the light work worn in such a way led to the result that the adults would see the discussion from the blind spot.

In all, there are about forty people in the village of Elves. From adults to children, it looked like everyone was getting together except Emilia. And about twenty less people in black than that?

Several people are discussing it in the middle, and others are taking delivery of their luggage, etc. It seemed that the things in black had carried their luggage, and the faces of everyone in the village receiving the luggage to be given from it were bright, and I saw them bowing their heads again and again.

"- Always, I'm sorry I'm just taking care of you"

I wonder what you're doing, what you're talking about.

Where Emilia questioned and tried to get herself on board, the voice suddenly felt close as whispered in her ear.

Emilia makes her spine frighten unexpectedly, but there is no Lord of voices who looks around like that. Before that, the voice now definitely belonged to Mother Fortna.

And Fortona in the matter was now under Emilia's eyes - at the head of the group, in the middle of an exchange of words with a person in black.

"Everyone is helping and happy to have something convenient that's not available in the woods"

"Thank you for your words. It is those of us who regret that we can only provide support in this form. Fortona always bears all the burden."

That's what we call each other.

I could clearly hear the bitter signs for both of us and what the conversation was about.

Emilia understands from Fortona's tricks under her eyes that the conversation we have now was undoubtedly being exchanged at this moment. Somehow, it seems that I've become a hell of a ear right now.

In fact, the microspirits distracted Emilia according to her will, but naturally the young Emilia does not notice this measure of the microspirits either.

Front of Fortna, across the street, was a tough looking man with wings woven in a black robe.

The muscular, upper tall physique stands out among the elves with many thin lines. But the man seemed to keep his hips low and in contact with Fortna more than he could imagine from such a fierce look.

Emilia feels proud even though she is in a position to glance at Fortna, who can spare no respect from a man of inflexibility.

A fine man who would pepper a big man is his own mother.

"And every time... how about a seal?

It was Emilia, who had her chest full of such misplaced pride, but the next time a man uttered the subject, the emotion was blown away where it would be.

So much so that the man's words now contained heavy and complex emotions.

"Worrying, you don't feel like laughing. It's okay, it's the same rock. You can't be solved in case. - Something you won't be able to face your brother or your sister-in-law."

"I'm so sorry about your brother and his wife."

"... my brother was supposed to be ready. I still don't know how my sister-in-law was, even now. But I understand the weight of the responsibilities that have been entrusted to me. I don't want to abandon it or halve it. You, too, don't you?

"I... that's all I have on me, so. Again, it would be different from things like a sense of purpose and responsibility like Master Fortna. Obsessed, untrained... I thought that was close."

A man laughed as he exhaled, and I could see Fortna having cutthroat eyes.

But those appearances didn't make sense to Emilia right now.

- I'm so sorry about your brother and his wife, what does that mean?

Mother Fortona's brother is Emilia's father. And that wife is, ma'am. Your daughter-in-law. You must mean Emilia's mother.

I'm sorry about those two, I wonder what that means. That's what Fortna was told, and I wonder why she wouldn't listen back to it.

Sticking to the branches, Emilia gazes at her ears as she stretches her neck in an attempt to hear a group conversation at all nearby. Without realizing that those acts were pointless, with the benefit of the power of the Minor Spirit, Emilia devoured her teeth to overhear a word or a piece in desperate shape.

"It has nothing to do with motive or the dignity of the deed. You can be proud of your actions. I really regret not being able to turn around."

"Heh, heh. Words of comfort, it hurts. But that's certainly hard. Whatever the world knows about the sincerity of our deeds, a calm reputation will sink into a sea of confusion again. Neither I nor you, above all she doesn't want it"

"... yeah, I guess so"

Fortna pulling her jaw and indicating consent to the man's words.

That being said, the topic seems to have given Emilia the part she wants to hear, and all the conversations that are then exchanged are of a flair, such as an unusual public discourse.

They also ended the exchange of things between the groups within which Fortna and the man exchanged words that way. One of the adults speaks to Fortna, and Fortna, who nodded back at it, turns back to the man.

"With the blessing of the Spirit, the changing seasons don't really affect the forest... but still, it helps to have clothes and futons inserted. Thanks."

"If you are meant to be, you are meritorious people who deserve more generosity. It must not be inconvenient in places like this."

"I wouldn't say a place like this. We love the woods."

I joke and say, Fortna has a little grin. The man also engraves a smile in his mouth, and often a calm atmosphere flows between them.

And

"Dear Bishop. Package handed over and ready for return. Hurry up."

"Yeah, I know"

When a person in black speaks that way, the man glimpses the settlement with remnants. Then he thanked Fortna, and Fortna and the adults also responded to the group in black with salutes meditating with their hands on their breasts.

a group of black clothes who turn their backs, pull their luggage and walk away - at the rear of it, a man stops,

"Yes, that's all I had to ask."

…………

To the man who raised his finger and looked back, Fortona silently urges him ahead.

The man once in that attitude of Fortna, with eyes that meditate and then peek into the back of the woods,

"- Is Emilia a breath disaster?

"-"

Emilia on the branch accidentally stuck her throat to the fact that her name came out of the man's mouth. I didn't have to scream small, thanks to my luck, which was right after I exhaled.

Fortunately, that faint voice was heard without reaching anyone's ear, and Fortona, who was questioned, nodded slowly to the man,

"It's okay. Emilia is fine, growing up as a good girl. It's a waste to us, good boy.... but I'm sorry. I can't let you see me."

"More than that, it's okay. I know. However, as long as we can be sure of Emilia's breath disaster, that's enough. Wanting more than that is just a wish for this sinner."

…………

self-derision, of a different man. Is that self-restraint?

Either way, Fortona, who hears it, did not speak of cheap comfort.

The man also looks up at Fortna with that silent, backwards-saved look. Often, the two stared at each other silently,

"Bishop, what is it? - Bishop Romaneconti"

One person returns from a group that was putting a man down and moving on. to that call. The man spread his hands,

"It's nothing. Come on, let's go. Dear Fortna, see you soon."

"Thanks for everything....... sorry, juice"

Smiling small at Fortna's last words, the man known as Juice walks away from the woods this time with a group.

Dropping them off until they were completely invisible, Fortona dropped her shoulders and spilled her exhale. Then she slapped her hand, drawing the attention of everyone who was on the spot,

"Come on, let's get your stuff in and distribute quickly. Please do as usual for sorting. I'm gonna get Emilia out of here."

――――

Following Fortona's instructions, Emilia jumps off a tree as she rolls, watching adults and children travel in charge of their luggage, making a full walk back to the princess's room.

Emilia managed to get back by screwing her little body into the gap in the roots of the tree she used to escape, creating scratches all over her body. But as soon as I get inside, I realize that my outfit is not the outfit of a child who waited very long for me, and I am stunned.

Until just now, I just thought that even if they found me out and scolded me, it was evil enough that if I reflected, they would forgive me immediately.

But after listening to what I just said, no matter how optimistic you try to look at it, Emilia can't think that way. Not to mention, it didn't seem like what Emilia just wanted to hear earlier was something of the kind.

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

Fortna, I don't have time for Mother to come back and take her off. If you get out under the light, you'll escape from Emilia's outfit to the potato ceremony.

If Fortna could have known I was listening earlier, it would have seemed to me to mean ruin to young Emilia.

"At least if I could just hide the abrasions..."

I scratched all over the place, rubbing my knee head and arms in many places, and there's just blood seeping in. I wouldn't overlook the aim Fortna, and I'm afraid of that when I take a bath.

If we don't do something about it, we even immerse ourselves in it.

"Huh?"

So again, when I saw a blue and white phosphorescent light born inside the princess room, it seemed to Emilia that the light was a guide to salvation or something.

The light sways Emilia's sight every bit, and now begins to wave that light on Emilia's body to a phrase that flirted her consciousness with a move like earlier.

"- Ah,"

Blue and white phosphorescent light is sucked into Emilia's body just as light was sucked into the wall. They gathered to blame the scratches on the young girl's body, all over the abrasions, and dyed the wound white with a pale glow - after the light had gone out, the abrasions were only faintly reddish.

――――

To the anomaly that happened to his body, Emilia stiffened without words.

The wounds that claimed pain on his elbows, knees, and all over his body disappeared, and now Emilia's body remains in its pre-escape condition.

If this is the case, Emilia takes the clothes she was wearing off her head and puts her sleeves through the dressing that was inside the princess's room. And if you have trouble disposing of clothes that have been hooked and holed up,

"Now......!

Flip the ink kettle for your painting and brutally color the clothes you were wearing with it. When my clothes got dirty with dirt that wouldn't fall off if I washed them. There,

"- Emilia? Wake up?"

I heard Fortna from outside the door, and Emilia stretched her spine perfectly.

I can hardly get the first sound out of trying to reply this way, remembering the high beating of my heart at the timing of a single hair.

"Emilia? Did you fall asleep?

"Oh, wake up, will you? Wake up, Mother Fortna. But now..."

"What, you're awake. Sorry to keep you waiting..."

Looking relieved by Emilia who replied, Fortona, who removed the outside clasp, went inside the room. Fortona, who was smiling, but as soon as she entered the room, changed her expression and wrinkled her well-shaped nose,

"... what? It smells like awesome ink."

"Uh, I'm sorry. The colour of the painting, it spilled all over... the clothes, it took a lot."

An ink kettle rolling in the middle of the room and Emilia looking midway in front of it. Comparing those two, Fortna puts her hand on her face, "Aha,"

"Yes, I can't help but do it. Glad I left my change of clothes. Otherwise, we'll have to take naked Emilia home."

"Um, Mother Fortna... I..."

"It's okay, Emilia. You don't have to be scared like that, I'm not angry because I didn't try to do it. You're not hurt, are you?

Aligning her gaze to Emilia walking over with the snack, Fortona checks her beloved daughter's body from top to bottom. He spills a relieved exhale at the apparent absence of any noticeable injuries and softly hugs him.

"Mother?

"Yeah, it's nothing. I just wanted to see Emilia so badly. I'm sorry. Just let me do this."

Fortona keeps Emilia in her arms, and that's how she leans over her cheeks.

Only Fortna, who usually tends to alienate these tricks in the light, was terribly rare to Emilia, and it seemed like Fortna was being meticulous.

So,

"... businessness"

A short silver hair was stroked by the embraced Emilia, and Fortona, with one eye open, squeaks so.

But Emilia, who decided she wasn't told to stop, doesn't stop stroking Fortona's head slowly and caring as it is.

A lot, a lot to ask.

But to put them all into words, there's too much that young Emilia doesn't have enough or doesn't know, and she can't say anything.

"Hey, Emilia."

"... n"

Staring at Emilia, who keeps stroking her head quietly, Fortona narrows her eyes. Fu, Emilia saw a grain of tears floating in her purple blue eyes the same as herself.

At the moment of blinking, the tears streamed down through Fortna's cheeks, and Fortna smiled at Emilia without even wiping it.

- I love you.

There were a lot of things I wanted to hear and know.

- But now, in one of my mother's words, the young Emilia thought to keep it satisfied.

Emilia is walking in the dark as she drags her legs and floats the blue and white phosphorescent light around her.

A drain of energy is depriving her of her ability to walk and dragging her legs. But the survival of the will did not make Emilia stop walking, and she still keeps moving forward.

Past the back of your brain, many of your childhood memories.

How can it be that now I remember such a past?

The past Emilia saw in Trials is a little different time than the past she remembered. The past I remember is only a little before the events of The Trial.

If, hypothetically, we could have gone back to that time - everything, I'm sure, a past we could start over.

"Fortna, Mother......"

Gentle, warm, powerful, Fortona is still the ideal woman for Emilia.

I've always wanted to be like Mother Fortna, like Mother Fortna. And yet, I always get worried, repented, scared by the little things, and irrevocable consequences.

"Huh... Huh... Huh"

When I think of irrevocable consequences, the pain runs that doesn't fit into Emilia's chest.

Misery, regret, pain and why Emilia is beaten by the emotions she has become, her stupidity and inadequacy make her feel embarrassed and about to cry.

Always is. Always will be.

I'm not going to be desperate, full, diligent, and never out of hand, but still Emilia's hands don't plunder where they really want them, not even where they arrive.

Certainly there was, and even what was supposed to have grabbed in this hand, it would fall zero like a grain of sand from the gap between your fingers, and it would fascinate Emilia with a flash of glitter and disappear.

Fortna, Pack, Subaru, they all are.

"I... I'm sorry. I can't always protect you, because you're a bad girl... everyone..."

Spilling like a sob, Emilia tugs her legs forward.

Slowly and still keep going through the depressed greenery.

"So guys, always hide from me... hide... but no. I don't know, I can't teach... I don't know, I wish I'd been there... but..."

In the woods. Blue and white phosphor. Men in black. Mother Fortna. Big, black snake. Closed door. Snow. White world. Silver world. End, end world. Father, mother.

"So I..."

A tremendous swirl of words rushes through my head.

Flirting by them, Emilia looks up and moves on.

――――

A weak voice. A treacherous step.

- But in those eyes, the tears had no shards either.
