Chapter 5: 23: What Gets Scratched
"So what? Come on, let me explain what happened."
Leaving the park with his hands held together, he predicted the time when Emilia and the others were invisible, and said so as Beatrice loosened her walking legs.
to Beatrice, who wanted to stop and talk, but Subaru pulled his arm still connected,
"Subaru?"
"Bad. I also want to pick a place where there are no people and take my time to discuss it, but I don't have time for that. - We don't have fifteen minutes."
"... do you understand? Just walk and talk."
Seeing the impatience that dwells on the side of Subaru, Beatrice follows the policy without objection.
With the thought of being saved by a well-informed partner's attitude, Subaru carefully exposes the contents of his still untidy head to Beatrice as he hurries forward.
"Witchcraft appears in the square we are about to head to. We have to stop that evil."
"Witchcraft......"
To the breathtaking Beatrice, Subaru proceeds with his choice of words.
The difficulty is the rules and penalties for communicating information in Return to Death. To the same extent as what I revealed to Latins, I have no problem telling Beatrice - and I can't say enough - is the unpleasant part of the shadow demon's hand that binds Subaru.
There is a verse that determines whether that demon who interrupts the disclosure of information on "Back to Death" activates a penalty after identifying not only what Subaru talks about, but also who he talks to.
Otherwise, why would something happen that would crush Emilia's heart, which has been revealed to her secret? Can't you explain?
So Subaru pays close attention to what he talks about to Beatrice.
If it's Subaru who can hurt you, it's still better. Scary though. Scary though. There is nothing unbearable about it. But if that demon's hand ever reaches out to Emilia or Beatrice, Subaru will be beaten to blame.
Because forgiving Subaru would never forgive anyone else that demon hand.
"As always, I wonder if I can tell you where I learned the story"
"... sorry. I can't."
"It's okay. You don't have to believe me if I don't have a basis. Subaru told me, that's what Betty believes."
Beatrice grabs her hand back and responds to Subaru chewing on her impudence.
Saved by the warmth coming from his palms, Subaru searched for the next word.
Sirius, 'Anger', sensory sharing, soul washing, indulging in the information and possibilities that can be communicated, sharing at least a little awareness of the dangers with Beatrice.
"First of all, the witchcraft that appears is the Bishop of the Great Crimes' Anger ', yeah, pervert"
"If you think that's the information you have to pass on, does Betty think Subaru can't?"
"I'm trying to figure out how far to be safe. In the meantime, he said no perverse penalties. Next is his ability... of emotions and senses, you feel like sharing?
"Of emotion and feeling, sharing?
Beatrice twists her neck.
Imagine, I guess I couldn't imagine anything specific. I can't help it either. Subaru doesn't know the effects of that power.
"It's hard to explain... when the Bishop of the Great Crimes himself is overjoyed, no matter how angry he is around him, he's just as overjoyed as the Bishop of the Great Crimes"
"... I'm not sure how that can be a threat."
"It's a big deal that you won't be able to recognize danger as danger. No matter how dangerous you are imitated, you have no sense of crisis. I accept it with great joy. When it comes to not being able to grasp the right situation, is it easy to understand?
A crowd of people who raise their hands to welcome a boy who cries and begs not to die.
It's fear that you can only feel joy for every thing that happens in front of you. I'm sure the Subaru in that state would have waited with great joy for it until just before the blade hit them, even if their neck had been twisted with a blade.
"Emotional sharing, do you understand? How does sensory sharing work?
"Keep it up. If they hurt, this one hurts too. If you snap the head of the Bishop of the Great Crimes, the necks of the people who are watching it will also blow up.... you're too good."
I say it myself again, and I let it down to its nasty.
If you don't snap your neck, this neck will fly - quite capable of making you hesitate to kill so much, in short. There was "Back to Death" so I can think of a way forward, but if I struggle to defeat it, this one will not float at all in total annihilation.
"Even if you try to catch him alive, you could go crazy just because you came into contact with him. Keep him alive or let him die, he's the worst enemy to bother them."
On his second death, Subaru went mad swallowed by fear.
Perhaps it was caused by the fact that I shared my fears with Ruthbell, who tried to help.
However, in that case, Ruthbell would have felt so much fear that it led to that frenzy. Subaru is weaker than that boy, which can also mean.
I can't say 'I'm supposed to be up there' with much confidence on that point, but it's hard to believe that Ruthbell, whose conversation was in place until just a moment ago, was resisting that overwhelming fear.
A second death should have struck Subaru something more than just being made to share fear.
Something that goes beyond mere emotional and sensory sharing - it was ultimately impossible to build a bedrock when Sirius attacked, beyond knowing it.
――――
Subaru is silent and holds Beatrice's hand strongly.
This is how I took Beatrice out, but I can't see a way to open it. Now I've just called Beatrice into a battle I can't see winning, in a way that involves her.
What should I do? Close your eyes to the possibility of frenzy and let Reinhardt catch Sirius alive for one second? But can we subaru enough explanations to call it in the same way as last time and make Reinhardt catch Sirius alive?
Why don't you let me call Reinhardt before Sirius shows up?
If you suddenly hit Latins in the square, wouldn't you feel your life in danger and call Reinhardt? Neither Reinhardt, who was called, nor why, should he slap Subaru without asking. Explain that it was urgent and necessary to call, at least a few minutes before Sirius appeared -.
"Fool, I am. No, you're an idiot. I am. There's no way Sirius won't respond if Latins takes action calling Reinhardt. Time only quickens up, and we don't have time to explain it to Reinhardt"
Shortly before the battle between Reinhardt and Sirius begins, we call for a live capture.
Can it be done? Things If the relationship with Sirius starts, Svalbard can't be trusted with his thought circuit afterwards. Even if I told him to direct him to live, wouldn't he say, 'Kill him' in his mouth? I have a priori. There is no element of denial.
"Subaru. Actually, I have some bad news to tell you."
"... are you serious? I don't want to hear any more bad news."
"Do you understand? But I have to talk to you.... If you're counting on Reinhardt as your power, Betty will be useless on the same battlefield as you are. I guess I'll just be a pretty girl."
"What?"
In a sudden Beatrice's remarks, Subaru turns his eyes in dismay.
Beatrice lay her eyes on the Subaru unspeakably,
"It's a matter of Reinhardt's constitution. I wonder if I'm the culmination of the heterogeneity of this world. Just being there, the surrounding mana blindly tries to follow the arr. That's what's shackling me. Not only will he use magic, but all the wizards and spiritual users around him will become useless."
"Oh, my God, that. That should actually be..."
Mouth it that far, and realize Subaru doesn't have anything in mind either.
That was the first day of Subaru's summons to this world, when Reinhardt clashed with Elsa in the final loop during the incident surrounding the badge, which is Emilia's eligibility for the King's race.
At that time, I remember Emilia, who was treating Grandpa Rom, saying that if Reinhardt meant it, magic would be useless.
I didn't understand it then, but was that what I meant?
"If Reinhardt is going to clean things up alone, Betty doesn't have to be helpful. But if Reinhardt is not enough..."
"You mean you can't choose the choice that makes Bear child useless in the first place"
There were fantasy killings.
Just be there and lose any function of the magical things around you. Seems like a Reinhardt story, but now that's the place to work negative.
- Not good. Not good. No, no, no, no, no.
As things stand, I don't see any light.
Am I right or wrong to call Reinhardt? I asked Beatrice to come, what should I make her do? How does Subaru work correctly?
How should we ignore Sirius' actions and prioritize the safety of human beings in the square at this time? If we do that, Sirius will just change places and do the same thing. Doesn't make sense.
Subaru's thoughts to ponder are incandescent, and the agitation burns a part of his brain.
With his white eyes running blood, Subaru struggles to find answers with desperate thoughts. But the answer remains the same and I will not show myself before Subaru.
Yet only time passes ruthlessly leaving Subaru behind -,
"... have you reached the square, Subaru"
"-"
As Beatrice said, Subaru looked up as if he had been played.
The two of them had arrived in the square where the purpose, the tragedy, occurred.
I haven't found anything yet. Just shred the time left, here.
White carved tower. Crowds filling the square.
Until there's a tragedy, it's roughly cut enough in Subaru's mind.
What should I do? What is right to do? What can I do...
"Subaru, maybe, but I have a plan for you."
Beatrice's voice on Subaru, which makes her lips lumpy and her cheeks strong.
Subaru, whose head was bright white, made his eyes black and white at the sweetness of the sound.
"Did you come up with a way to open it?!?
"Maybe we're talking about possibilities. However, if Subaru's ability to speak to me about the Bishop of the Great Crimes is shared with others... we can think of a higher magic" nect "with similar effects."
"Nect......!
Subaru rang his throat at at Beatrice's words with his fingers up.
NECT - It's a form of magic that Subaru himself once felt. sharing the will and feeling of others with the surgeon. That is certainly close to the effect of Sirius' power.
I wondered why Subaru didn't think of it, doubting what was in his head.
"Assuming it's the same as Nect's, how can we deal with it?
"... In the first place, I wonder if nect is magic that needs to be addressed. The goal of Nekt's effects is to unify the will of allies and communicate without words. Is it wrong to use Nect aggressively against someone?"
Beatrice answers to Subaru in a hurry, looking grumpy.
Even when Subaru did use Nekt, he did use magic for the purpose of sharing his sight with Julius unwillingly. Because it was necessary to connect the sight of Subaru, who could see his hand, with Julius, who could fight, to counter Petergius' "invisible hand".
Nect's main office must be used to work with allies.
Decline, it is not magic to connect enemies and hold each other hostage to each other's flesh.
"Originally, there are conditions for connecting with a nect. It may not be possible without a degree of trust that Mana's path connects to each other. The power of the Bishop of the Great Crimes is obviously ignored."
"I guess it means power to force you to accomplish that. than that."
"I wonder what to do. - In short, it's Shamak's turn."
"Mr. Shamak, there you are! You're still too omnipotent!
Subaru unwittingly raises his voice to Beatrice's suggestion.
Shamak is so familiar magic to Subaru. When it was painful, when it was hard, when it was dangerous, when it was troubling, Shamak was always with Subaru.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lem, Patrash and Mr. Shamak were the ones who helped the helpless Subaru before signing the contract with Beatrice.
I thought Subaru's own destruction of the gate had cut that connection off, but even via Beatrice via contract, Shamak helps Subaru.
"Right, Shamak... Shamak must have managed everything... eh"
"Have you figured out that Subaru has discredit for not lining up with Shamak? If it's true, Shamak is supposed to be a magic with little use in the early stages of shady magic."
"No matter how many bear kids, I won't allow Shamak to speak ill...!
"Seriously, what makes Subaru say that?
Beatrice, an unconvinced face, sighed at the rough snorting Subaru. Then he looked around without alarm, holding one finger up,
"Shamak is a disconnect in consciousness - a magic that forces him to disconnect from his surroundings. If the surgeon is Subaru, the effect is a little suspicious, but if it's Betty, it's fine. I don't know who they are, but I think they're going to disconnect them perfectly."
"I mean...?
"If you throw consciousness into the darkness with a crowd that fits in during surgery, collectively, in Shamak, you should be able to escape the power of the Bishop of the Great Crimes. Subaru's concerned that he won't involve the people around him."
Picking up where Subaru wants, Beatrice confidently puts her chest up.
Subaru stiffened his fist to that dependable answer. Only a few, but I think I saw the light.
"Okay, that's good. If you can't reach your abilities, it's this way. And then... and then what?
"Without Reinhardt, it's the power to buzz the Bishop of the Great Crimes."
…………
With Reinhardt, Beatrice's Shamak tactics cannot be used. Therefore, it is imperative to pull the Reinhardt out of the calculation of the force.
But in that case, we need to defeat Sirius without Reinhardt.
"I'll tell you what, Betty's gonna need to shamak the guy who's fighting for the moment to knock him down. Can't we fight?"
"Right.... Yabe, eventually, I'll come back to shake it out"
Without Beatrice's backup, there's probably no eye for Subaru to beat Sirius even if he closes his eyes to a frenzied attack. Even if we cut the trump cards we haven't shown yet, can we do it properly? Even plain scratched that the practiced whip did not work.
"At that time, I was in the square and there was something else I could have fought..."
At first, I remember the first square.
A blur in the face that tried to move against Sirius, who appeared above the carving tower. Sure, the beast man man and the woman with the eyelids. Four men with tough faces and latins.
How about the other three, even if Latins can't count for battle power. If you add Subaru to it and the four of you, do you see how much you can win?
"You idiot. How far can you trust someone with unknown strength? At the moment, we haven't even talked yet..."
"- Then I know what I'm capable of, and it makes sense. Isn't it my turn?
――
A sudden voice came from behind Subaru, who shook his head at the hopeful observation.
Subaru and Beatrice look back in surprise at that voice, which sounds too familiar. Behind those two, I stood with my hands on my hips,
"What, Emilia Tan? Why are you here..."
"If you come after me because things are wrong, I knew I was carrying a big deal in. That's how you try to get me out of a mosquito net, and I think it's a bad thing about Subaru."
Subaru makes his mouth pucker in a way that scolds a child for doing evil.
Stunned by the appearance of Emilia, who can't be there, who didn't want you to be. Beatrice looked up at Emilia in place of Subaru, who would no longer be able to inherit the two sentences,
"I told you to wait in the park. I wonder why you followed me."
"... I really thought I'd wait for you too. Subaru, because you didn't seem to want me to follow you. But Priscilla did."
"That red girl?
"Because now I say that if you don't go after Subaru, you may regret it. If nothing happened, I was going to shut up and go back, but we both seem to be talking seriously all the time. You can't turn back."
The face of the culprit who held Emilia's decision back and drove her this far comes to mind.
Subaru bit off his back teeth and punched Priscilla's high laugh in his head, which created this situation. Everywhere, it's the girl who scratches the situation.
The viciousness and the vice between the fatalities that I can only assume have been foreseen make a stunning addition to the situation that I did not want to create for Subaru.
"Emilia, I'm happy with your feelings. Glad to hear it, but, uh, this place is starting now."
"Witchcraft shows up, doesn't it? I could hear you.... I won't go back when Subaru tells me to go back. It's not human resources for me either."
"Emilia!
I'm not trying to keep Emilia out of danger without any basis.
Roughing up his voice, Subaru tries to somehow drive back the stubborn Emilia.
She and witchcraft must not be allowed to meet.
I don't know why. There is no solid reason. But there are unnecessary reasons and reasons.
Emilia and witchcraft must never be allowed to meet. For Emilia, the guys named Witchcraft are equal to the theatre you shouldn't come across.
This is true for many people who live in this world, but it seems extraordinary for Emilia. So,
"We'll do something about it. Emilia doesn't have to be involved. Stay out of this."
"That's how you keep your eyes open for the Subaru people to scratch again trying to protect me? Absolutely not. When Subaru fights, I fight too. When Subaru tries to protect someone, I want to help with that, too. Like Subaru will protect me..."
――――
"I want to protect Subaru, too. 'Cause Subaru, I'm not gonna cry now."
My heart, which should not be broken, is about to be broken to sue Emilia.
To keep her out of danger, Subaru must inspire his courage. With the heart of steel, we must face every difficulty.
Yet Subaru is now afraid. I'm afraid. Afraid of the battle.
Three times.
Subaru has already lost his life three times, losing his battle with Sirius.
Nor has it ever even had the experience of Natsuki Subaru's death, such as the experience of savoring death in such a short span three times in just one hour.
'Death' is always horrible. You can't and must not get used to it.
Being deprived of life means being cut off from the road. Denied a way of life, trampled on existence, and humiliated souls. That means taking lives.
Even if you try to delude yourself with lightness, something you can't stop causing Subaru.
The weak feeling of not wanting to die makes a face, even if he tries to keep his mind strong to protect it.
Natsuki Subaru will never be able to overcome that weakness.
"... Subaru. You should give up now."
"Beatrice......"
"Is Emilia stubborn? I'm sure there's nothing more I can do than to be known. Besides, I wonder if Betty knows how Emilia feels. Betty feels the same way about protecting Subaru... and she can't deny it."
Beatrice, an essential part of the operation and a decision-making body in Subaru. If she raises the white flag, Subaru is harder to resist and cut.
As Emilia sincerely and Beatrice mercifully watches Subaru together.
The attention of those two finally broke Subaru's heart, too.
"... I'm sure the witches will come after you. If anything happens, act first and foremost."
"Mm, okay. Subaru will come and help you even if you get caught. Believe it, I'll try my best."
"Don't tell me things that aren't even on my nerves...... so how far do you want me to listen to you?
Emilia smiles of relief at Subaru's acceptance.
To Subaru, who faints into an attitude that forgets the distressed enemy he awaits, Emilia puts her finger on her lips,
"I thought you heard. There comes a bad witchcraft person, and that person uses magic like Nekt. Beatrice will offset that effect in Shamak, so in the meantime, we have to work hard to get rid of the bad guys."
"It's a chewy way for a junior year kid to figure it out, but that fits. Emilia, can I count on you?
"I'll take care of it. I'm getting stronger."
Emilia puts her hands in front of her chest for a gutsy pose.
The cute trick lacks a sense of bad nervousness, but the understanding of the situation is smooth.
anxiety and impudence about relying on Emilia. And there are unlimited failure elements that are not anxiety elements, such as the difficulty of Beatrice's magical timing. Still,
"Emilia, there's a lot of Bear kids, and you can't fail...!
Instead, it would be the boy who thinks so much as turns it into an exciting ingredient.
"And it's time."
I took Beatrice's suggestion and joined Emilia, already using the majority of the time remaining. And then, at best, how do we respond when Sirius comes along?
If you can, I'd prefer a situation where Sirius is knocked off the tower while Ruthbell is left in the tower.
"Emilia Tan. Soon, a suspicious man will show up because he sees it on the tower. Then take one shot at the pre-emptive strike and see the big one. Drop it off the tower and it'll be great. And then Bear does what's good, signals, and then starts fighting."
"Mm, okay. I don't know if I can do it well, but I'll try."
Emilia squeezes her expression on Subaru's instructions and Subaru nods at Beatrice.
That's right after the policy was consolidated.
"- Yes!"
He rides himself out of the window of the carving tower and one Phantom shows himself.
A variant with a coat wrapped around its skinny body and its face wrapped around it with a bandage. He is a Phantom who rubs the tip of a chain draped from both arms onto the floor and looks down under his eyes making a deafening noise.
No one has yet noticed the presence of that alien.
Standing on the big stage, Sirius trembles his body to love the defenseless itself masses against imminent threats close to him, then spreads his arms wide open.
When it fits, make a noise like a blast and applaud - the eyes of the crowd that heard it are drawn to the Phantom, and that speech begins.
――――
Swallow solitude and Subaru sees the visit of the moment.
Both arms gaining momentum make intense noises in front of Sirius' chest-,
"Ul Huma!!
A huge ice column that appeared directly above the tower just before struck Sirius directly on the outer edge.
A mass of ice as thick as a bundle of five Subaru luxuriously shreds the white walls of the carving tower with tremendous noise and impact. The wall, which was by no means brittle, collapsed and Svalbard nearly dropped his jaw when he saw the sight of the tip of the ice column poking into the tower.
"What, Emilia Tan?
"Subaru says pre-emptive strike, so I tried pre-emptive strike... couldn't you?
"No, GJ. But I'm surprised you didn't think I'd bust in before you named me."
At any given time, there was a problem with Subaru, who did not instruct him, but the biggest problem would be in Sirius' own behavior, which was judged suspicious at first sight by Emilia.
In the meantime, a magical blow that has not been taken into account, such as how things are going, could have crushed Sirius as he was defenseless for a moment. Even if it was, I wouldn't find a crushed body in the noisy crowd, so maybe after a moment I could soak up sensory sharing and attack.
In that case, Emilia is too big a Venus for real.
"Bear, what do you think?
"First, I think we should start by solving the misunderstandings around us."
Beatrice shrugs his jaw with a frightened face to the spirit of Subaru's question as to whether Sirius could have defeated him as he did.
When I saw it, I could see the crowd creeping around the Subaru, including Emilia, who had destroyed the carving tower. Among them are the man of the beast and the woman of the eye belt, and for a time the sorrow of being alerted to the opponent considering fighting together strikes Subaru.
"Not if you're saying something like that. Uh, what do I do? Anyway, first of all, should I explain that I didn't do that in bad faith?
"- Yeah. Subaru better back off than that."
I scratched my head and Emilia pulled Svalbard's shoulder wondering how to explain it. Unexpectedly step back out in front of Subaru and Emilia waves its hand hard from top to bottom.
At that moment, Kin and the air rang and a blue ice sword arose in Emilia's hand. Emilia, with her slender sword, turns its tip toward the crowd surrounding this one,
"Emilia Tan? That's just how much villain you need to roll..."
"No, I'm not. Look closely, Subaru. Everybody's eyes, they're insane."
"-"
Had a hard Emilia voice, Subaru saw the faces of the people around him. When I look at that face, I accidentally catch my breath. Emilia's right, it's not a sane human face.
All the crowds surrounding this one are turning bright red from their necks as if they were tomatoes, raising the blood vessel called the blood vessel in their faces, and staring at Subaru with their blood running eyes.
Instead of questioning sanity, it's a shaped face filled with madness without a doubt.
"Bear child! What about Shamak!?
"... have you?"
"What?"
"This is magic in a way that's fundamentally different from Nect's... yeah, it's evil. I wonder if this is magic or anything. Curse... it's a spell!
Beatrice raises her voice to discomfort and anger, and Subaru frowns at the sound of it.
I don't know the difference in principle, but Beatrice has decided that Operation Shamak doesn't work. Having understood the adversity, there is a further problem.
This is how the crowd is swallowed by the whole madness -,
"- Smells. Smells. Odor. Odor. Odor. Odor. Odor. Odor. Odor. Odor. Odor."
It was a grudgingly viscous, resentful sound that cursed everything in the world.
――――
Make a noise, the outer wall of the carving tower collapses.
A crack ran on the ice column, which was burying its immense presence in the tower, cracking, which shattered and scattered in a breath. In the glittering, sun-drenched crystals of ice, there are footsteps.
Phantom.
Not intact, the Phantom is dyeing half the bandages wrapped around his face red. Blood also travels from his sloppy lowered left arm, and he follows somewhere as he drags the chain and walks.
Emilia's pre-emptive attack has an unquestionable effect.
However, it was also true that it pulled a trigger that should not be pulled.
"Smells, feels... smells like a woman. Dirty and abominable, the smell of a half demon taking that man away from me. Whether you kill it or not, stinking filth springs up like maggots without bounds. I'm not kidding. hateful. Is all that baking still not enough"
"... what are you talking about?
"I feel something else, the smell of women. You're not that guy, you smell like that guy. Dirty, humble and shallow, the smell of a woman who rots, changes color and bugs gush. Oh, oh! Ahhhhh! Disgusting! Abominable! hateful!"
On the barely remaining outer edge, the Phantom scratches his bleeding head scratches and golden cuts. Spitting, stepping on community thickness, and a frenzied bareback as people have changed from Subaru's knowing physical waist. It's the same frenzy. But the vectors are clearly different.
"Mine! Test your love for your husband, Spirit! From me! Aren't you tired enough of just taking my husband, halfdemon whore!!
Sirius leaps as he strips his teeth and makes angry screams.
A bright red flame rose from Sirius falling from the tower as he clasped his arms together overhead. Sirius, flashing red from both arms, lands in the square flaming.
Phantom lifting his face with his limbs on and burning arms intact.
Emilia, who sets up an ice sword, and Beatrice, who steps forward to shelter Subaru. In place of those two faces. Seeing, Sirius shouted in an angrily painted voice.
"I am! Witchcraft Bishop of Great Crimes! In charge of 'Anger' Ohh!!
A rising flame, a crowd bathed in its heat waves, raises its arms in heaven and makes an odd noise.
In a vortex of frenzy in a completely different form from Subaru's known form, the Phantom named it.
"- Sirius Romaneconti!! Fucking spirits on the fucking half demon, I'll burn both of you and sprinkle you in front of my husband's grave!!
