Chapter 5: 77: The Unnamed Knight

With the shock of being thrust, the body was off the track of a dagger.

You are not in a blade changing position, and a broken knight sword does not spare you the deep hand. Whoever saw it could tell. In the end, Julius could quickly realize that it was therefore sheltered.

But whether or not you're relieved and grateful for that is another story...

"Ricard -!"

"Akan, I could do it...... ugh!

A bitter voice, Ricard poking at Julius, opens his eyes cuttingly. At the same time as shouting its name, the blood fog that erupted Julius' vision covered it.

Blood was sprayed from Ricard's thick, rough right arm - from the wound that lost its tip from its elbow and exposed a smooth cross section.

The arm covered in beast hair makes a noise and falls to the cobblestone, and the great claw, which was gripped, also rolls down the floor with a dull sound.

"Oh, my God..."

"Ah ho! If you say so, Julius! Face up before..."

Ricard tries to throw a voice of excitement at Julius, who is breathtaking. but it doesn't come true when it takes a flickering dagger blow to the abdomen and is crushed to the nose by a hard knee direct hit.

Instead, when the recard is in big letters and falls to the ground, 'bulimia' will strike.

"Ha ha! I'm not gonna let you tell me everything!

"-"

A look at Alfaldo screaming for pleasure and a fallen recard. Seeing them both, two choices emerge at the same time behind Julius's brain.

Which should be prioritized, so much clearance arose there for a moment.

And the appetite for 'bulimia' never misses that gap.

"I can't believe I didn't have manners during the meal, brother -!"

"You......!

Like a springy doll, Alphardo leaps to trickery. Julius' reaction faintly lags behind that deformational and spontaneous movement.

The palm being protruded and the broken knight's sword staggering, the feeling of the chest being attached to the palm - this spike has been avoided and it was the sense of mysterious loss that came shortly after.

"Oh, it was a bitchy sausage."

That voice. Finally, for some reason, consciousness is distant, distant, and -.

"It's pitiful, but in the midst of the fight against 'bulimia', 'names' were taken away. Perhaps that's what my situation is like right now"

In Emilia's word, the fact that it has clearly emerged.

Julius shrugs her shoulders with a sarcastic grin on a fact forgotten by her acquaintance.

"He said they ate 'names'... is that what you mean? But..."

Blasphemer eating human 'memories' and 'names', Bishop of the Great Crimes' bulimia '.

The threat of being eaten 'name' and disconnected - the horror of which Subaru was also going to know enough. But if I saw Julius standing here alive in front of me in this way, I can't help but deplore the fact that the understanding was also shallow.

"His victims are just going to be like Rem or Mr. Krush..."

Kursch was eaten of 'memory' and completely lost sight of his former self.

Lem, who is devoured of 'names' and whose existence is extinguished from the memory of all people, with exceptions, and who continues to sleep unconsciously in that state.

A victim of 'bulimia', the damage Svalbard is familiar with are the symptoms of those two.

But come here, Julius is in a different state from them again. I have not lost my own memory, nor have I been deprived of consciousness.

- However, from the surrounding memories, its existence has been lost.

"Really, nobody remembers? Try it from one end..."

"Already both Anastasia and Ricard, after we met face to face. It was quite an experience to be treated as strangers by those two. - You can't even thank the sheltered person."

――――

Pale, Julius who kills emotions and gives answers, but faintly tense cheeks and ends of words are somewhat painful for Subaru. Naturally. No matter how conscious Julius is as a knight, he cannot easily withstand such a spiritual burden.

Fear and despair that the relationship that has built up breaks down and the days spent close together are lost.

It was a painfully tasted sense of loss when Subaru also came to the other world.

"Beatrice......"

"I know what Subaru's trying to say. Unfortunately, Betty doesn't look familiar to the man either. Betty's out of the library now."

Sensing intent in one call, Beatrice shakes her neck sideways with a difficult face.

Beatrice's statement and the confirmation Subaru wanted to take from her - that's whether Beatrice remembers Julius.

Because Emilia doesn't remember, naturally, Beatrice can't remember Julius either. That should be the case, but Beatrice could have been the exception.

Because Beatrice...

"I remember Rem."

"I've said it many times, but should I rather consider that to have been the exception? And now you can think of the man in front of you as a certainty."

"In the end, you're telling me you're right about your memory."

It was before.

Once before, Beatrice mentioned in the forbidden library the lem after he was eaten by 'bulimia'. Subaru remembered that and pursued Beatrice after his contract with her, after the forbidden library was lost, but the conclusion drawn from the discussions at that time, that was one thing.

"While in a forbidden library isolated from the outside, Bear child is not affected outside the room. So even when Rem was eaten by his name, he wasn't affected by the moment he was eaten... you thought. So if you go outside the room, you won't be treated like a special..."

"I wonder if Betty's complaining about coming out of the forbidden library."

"Oh, that's not true. Me, you and I can walk under the sun, mammoth happy!

"Heh, it is."

And there was an exchange where Beatrice bent her navel.

And in fact, Beatrice's peculiarities will never be demonstrated against Julius. Beatrice's reasoning was right, and it was the forbidden library that was helping with the memory barrier.

Rather, in this case, the problem is not Beatrice's peculiarity-

"But how can Subaru remember Mr. Julius? Um, just like you did when you were Mr. Rem."

"There it is."

Emilia finally points out the questions that would otherwise hit anyone.

Only one person in this world, Subaru, remembered the 'name' eaten lem.

the maintenance of memories that even the twin sister, Ram, had forgotten, but the Emilias did not mention anything.

That would be because I saw Subaru devotionally dealing with Rem, and as he said from his mouth about memory, he didn't seem to believe in paranoia.

but it's not just that, it's nothing more than because there wasn't one person with solid proof who could dispute that Subaru's memory.

Just not this time.

This case is conscious of a party I remember besides Subaru - in other words, Julius, a forgotten tenant in the world.

Nature, its mixed perceptions of each other and the reason why only Subaru is treated as an exception to the power of 'bulimia' were to be questioned.

"Does Subaru ever think of anything? There's nothing to hide."

"I'm going to hide it or something, but... there's got to be, and there shouldn't be."

"Isn't that a secret?

"I can't say for sure, so I don't think avoiding a clear statement is like hiding something."

While sending Emilia, Subaru discusses the possibility of his own exception.

The very first thing that comes to mind is the influence of the witch factor sleeping inside Subaru. If the power to eat 'memories' or 'names' is the power of the 'bulimic' witch factor, then it is also somewhat convincing that it does not work subaru like 'invisible hands'.

Subaru is probably the one doing 'Back to Death' with the power of 'The Jealous Witch'. The power of that 'witch' is acting and may be overthrowing the effect of the power of 'bulimia'.

And another thing that might come to mind from the example of Beatrice's forbidden library.

It is possible that Subaru is a tripper from another world. Subaru is a human being who takes his origins from another world and is not purely a raw being in this world.

Since it is not the existence of this world, it is also not affected by powers that interfere with this concept of the world - what about this hypothesis?

"It's just that in the latter case, it's an easy way to be sure. You should meet Al and Julius."

Al is the only person in this world who shares the same boundaries as Subaru.

As for the exception to power, if the latter hypothesis is correct, both Al and Rem should remember Julius. Most importantly, there is no familiarity between Al and Rem in this world, so I couldn't confirm it.

"Well, you can't say that this time either."

"Subaru?"

"Emilia, about your question, but I need to be sure before I answer that. Julius, I need you to go out with me."

Emilia looks dissatisfied with Subaru's first voice summing up her thoughts.

You may think you've been hidden, but this is something that needs to be verified.

If the most hypothetical correctness is proven, the common denominator between Subaru and Al - the tripper part from different worlds is blurred, and the human being on the other side of the Great Falls is unaffected by power, which is why we have to explain it inexplicably.

"You're not saying you don't like it, are you? Because it's about you."

"- I have to say I have no choice. Apparently, you're more familiar with the strange things that I have. [M] Obey."

"Why is your attitude so subtle, you"

Whether you have restored calm in the conversation so far, Julius's attitude toward pulling his jaw is returning with a familiar and spirited stand-up. Speaking of which, apparently, I'm too mentally tough on the situation I was put in. No cuteness, you can call it that.

"It's better than being suddenly hit by a special victory and having trouble dealing with it... anyway, we're going back to the shelter. I think it's time for the officials to get together and... yeah, what about the recard? It was a control ride with you. Safe, what is it?

"... have been wounded sheltering me, but there should be no separate letter in my life. That's getting Ferris to make a solid diagnosis too."

"... well. Then I don't mind."

To Julius' response, Subaru's inner heart is half appeased and half self-reflecting.

The breakdown is a relief that Ricard's safety has been confirmed and a self-reflection of insensitivity asked directly to Julius, forgotten by the person he was supposed to have fought with.

To Subaru, whose voice is thus reduced, Julius sighs,

"I don't expect any careful consideration from you. It's easier for you to act like you normally do, but I'm not confused around you and I'm easygoing. Let's go back to the shelter."

That being said, Julius slapped Subaru's shoulder casually.

"It doesn't feel very good, but I'll just have to leave my introduction to you. The emptiness shown in the hall of the king's race helps me to pull in on this opportunity"

"You're not digging back into people's black history! Shit, I lost it worrying."

Waving his hand off on his shoulder, Subaru turns his back on Julius and turns his foot to the shelter. Regardless, I can't mistake Julius' remarks now for his sincerity, etc.

I just decided I needed a smart response in an effort to alleviate Subaru's guilt.

I know that. Because I know that,

"Fool, I am. No, I'm an idiot. I am."

Why, why, now I can only behave like I care about Julius.

How can he be wrong in words and judgment in a situation where he himself, who is nothing else, would be most anxious about his helpless solitude?

My insensitivity is badly irritating, and Julius is as angry as it is.

It's normal circumstances to be anxious, and it's his strength to be able to dress up as usual.

Because its strength must be something Subaru doesn't get even if he wants it.

Don't leave Julius alone, Subaru had a certain sense of purpose.

Julius had a faint smile on the edge of his lips as he angered his shoulders and looked at his bosom and Subaru's back to the shelter.

That's a weak smile, never shown to Subaru turning his back.

"You're not going to show that face to Subaru?

In such a faint gap of mind, the sound of a silver bell pops into the sieve. Turning around, he gazed at Julius with his purple blue eyes.

In that worried glance, Julius shook her neck sideways, hiding her grin.

"It's a whispering will, an empty resistance of the defeated. Please don't point it out."

"I can't believe he's a cripple..."

"We headed for the control hitch, and we're probably the only ones who got missed. He is left with his lack of power painful and even forbidden to live and shame. It's a complete failure."

In a stubborn manner Julius strongly appeals to their defeat.

To his attitude Emilia shook her eyes in pain. Now Emilia may see through Julius' weakness in heart.

"I'm sorry."

But Emilia's remarks were not what Julius intended.

to Julius with her face up, Emilia held her thin shoulder,

"The truth is, I don't know what to say to you right now. I'm sure I knew you, but I don't remember, and I can't count on you like Subaru."

"... in the case of Subaru, for less reference. I guess he's the exception."

"Still, because I know I'm hurting you. So all I can do is apologize and... about Subaru, thanks"

――――

I can't thank her enough for Subaru.

Emilia exhales at Julius frowning,

"I'm sure it would have been harder if Subaru had seen Mr. Julius' present face. So thanks for trying to hide that. I'm sorry."

"Please don't, Master Emilia. It's not like they're going to thank you, and besides... and you're buying me too much. It's not that compassionate."

True. Julius even feels uncomfortable in Emilia's gaze of goodness.

With such a special sense of victory, Julius did not hide his heart from Subaru. It's simpler, it's more boring.

"To him... to Subaru, I don't want to be pitied. That's all."

――――

Julius says so, looking at Subaru's back, which plugs him to the front and corner. Subaru looks difficult with his sleeve pulled by Beatrice leaning against him.

To that Subaru, Julius did not want to show his weakness.

I don't know why you think that, but...

"Now I feel like I've heard Mr. Julius for the first time."

Emilia walks out and says so to Julius. When Julius accidentally rounded his eyes, Emilia put up only one finger,

"I may not be able to help much, but I'll also talk to everyone properly in the shelter so they can believe me. So with Subaru, believe us, too. Let's go."

"... Yes. And, Emilia."

"What?"

Called to rest, Julius gave Emilia a graceful salute to look back.

A courtesy that may not be in her memory, but has remained firmly engraved in her, a habit both as a knight and as a nobleman.

"To Emilia, it's very uncomfortable to be called Julius. Please, Julius, and call it that."

"That's what I was calling you.... Okay, Julius."

Put your finger on your lips and Emilia will take the lead. Then Emilia conceived and turned her gaze slightly higher than Julius's to the void. And

"One from me, too, okay?

"Whatever."

"Right beside you, slight spirits...... yeah, quasi spirits maybe. Those kids are flying around anxiously... you know?

"- Yeah, I know. Because they were buds blooming beside me sooner or later."

To Emilia's point, Julius meditates.

As soon as you close your eyes, you can see quasi-spirits flying around with six-color power. But the buds don't even know how they're there.

So to them,

"You can't get my word right now. Just like words to lords and comrades."
