Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

Auguria Dune The nearest town, 'Milula', is a solitary and lonely lodging town.

The size of the town is considerable, but naturally it is small enough not to be compared to the Watergate city of Pristella or the industrial city of Costour or the Wang capital of Lugnica.

The streets strewn throughout the kingdom were maintained everywhere, and the journey to Milula was a steady journey by dragon car, as long as it was lonely for its eastern end point.

"But maybe you don't have a choice. From here on the map, there's really only Augurian sand dunes to the east... and to the south it's the kingdom's biggest big forest, isn't it? I know you're far from the five biggest cities, and you know how little people go around."

Emilia walking next to Subaru leaks such a feeling as she looks around town.

With a white robe over his head and beautiful silver hair and a slightly hidden face. When a beautiful girl like Emilia appears in a rural town, the blow runs into the aesthetics of the townspeople - a Subaru joke, but she is also in a nasty position. Not only the appearance, but also its qualities. So just a little consideration to avoid causing trouble.

Besides, that's not the only reason to hide your head and mouth with a cloth.

For reasons other than to hide your identity, that's the sandstyle effect of Milula's famous' disaster '.

"On top of the lack of development to the south to the east, is the extreme this sandy wind? It's tight."

Subaru, who lets Emilia stand under the wind and stands on the upper side of the wind as a slight resistance, also pulls up the cloth that was wrapped around her face and squeals so as she hides her mouth. When I move my tongue, I have the feeling of sand rubbing between my teeth, and I feel so bad.

This sand-wrapped wind flows into town as it blows down from the eastern dunes.

Windy days and the like seem to be brisk with sandy winds, and these sandproof fashions are indispensable to walk around town.

"-? Subaru, what's wrong?

"No, when I heard it was a desert, I thought it wasn't what I imagined it to be."

Emilia leans her neck towards Subaru, who sees herself side by side with her.

He hid his bare skin exposure to the extreme and covered it with a cape from head to toe and ankle. Basically, it's Subaru's idea that cute girls shouldn't entertain their surrounding eyes in all kinds of costumes, but in costumes that are so defensive, they don't even maintain their eyes.

Speaking of deserts, costumes like dancers for sun protection - what was it?

"Nevertheless, should I have listened to the innkeeper after all"

"It's just 'sand time' right now, isn't it? There's nobody on the street."

The wind is not as strong, but the sand is light or slightly dusty. In the yellow, smoking sight, there are only two people, Subaru and Emilia, on the street of the town you look over.

Familiar with this environment, the town's sandy 'sand time' stood indoors, blocking the windows and doors of the building thoroughly.

In fact, in the sand wind, sight, as well as breathing, requires considerable effort. Innkeeper said he shouldn't walk during "Sand Time," so much so that he stopped them both.

There's just a reason I pushed off the inn people to stop and come out.

"It's this in town. I guess this isn't how sandy the dunes are."

"... yeah, right"

It's not a preliminary exercise, but the reason I go out of my way to 'Sand Time' is to prepare my mind.

Surrounded by sand on all sides, besides "sand time," sand windy sand dune paths are not to this extent. It is a distance from the dunes and this poor vision in the dense town of the building.

The dangers of dune paths need to be well prepared within the present.

"For now, why don't you go into some store? Because if we stay like this, me and Subaru are going to end up in a lump of sand."

It's the building across the street that Emilia points to, paying for the surrounding sand. It seems that the tavern, or some place of thought, serves as a place of refuge for the first time.

Other stores have a refusal to visit, but at least the entrance is not closed.

As Emilia suggested, the two head to that building early because of it.

He sanded as much as possible in front of the push door, then slowly entered the tavern.

"... in the sand wind, there you are"

When he enters the tavern, the shopkeeper, who was polishing the glass across the counter, sees the Subaru and speaks low. The condition of the voices is not welcome, probably because at a glance the Subaru's noticed that they were sanded.

I would have dropped as much as I could, but still the amount of sand that hangs around is enormous. Though I think it's bad, I scatter sand and step into the store.

"What's your order?

"Milk, it's cold."

"Milk, warm"

――――

The store owner narrowed his eyes but said nothing to the two orders sitting on the counter.

By the way, it's Subaru that's cold, and Emilia's order that's warm.

"Big boom, that's not an atmosphere... business up during sand time?

Subaru asks the shopkeeper as he takes off the headscarf he was wearing and mouths the milk he is transported to. The unfathomable shopkeeper responds briefly, "Oh,"

"Even though, it's a town with little outside human access. While the sun's up, the store's open, but it's like a road trip."

"I see. Well, we're good at being customers on top of people out there."

"You can ask for milk in the tavern and be good at it. Look, it's your lady's."

"Wow, thanks."

Warmed milk is served and Emilia grabs the pottery and takes a breath. With her breathing in the milk sideways, Subaru stepped himself out on the counter.

"I don't have any other guests, and you're a little free now, right? Can I just talk to you for a second?

"Even if I'm really free, I can't believe you're free for the people I work for.... What do the rest of us want to hear?

"About the Augurian dunes,"

Put your finger up and Subaru pokes a letter of questioning at the store owner. and the look on the face of the shopkeeper who heard it collapsed for the first time.

The gray short-haired tannic shopkeeper squeezes his eyes under his dark brow suspiciously. Then I compared Subaru to Emilia and spilled a small exhale.

"I don't know what the joke is, but if you're going to be in a good mood, don't. I'm just gonna die."

"Come on, what are you going to say? You think we look like we're playing?

"If it looks like anything else, my current advice comes out? It's a sandy sea of death where no one can come home alive. It's not a place to meet a woman."

"I do think the suspension bridge effect is an effective way to approach it, but I haven't been cornered that far either. Emilia, tell me about it."

"Phew Phew, Achi... Huh? What? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening."

"Look at this E.M.T."

"Go home before you die because you don't say anything bad."

Seeing the interaction between Subaru and Emilia, the confidence of the store owners was increasingly diminished.

Nevertheless, the shopkeeper wouldn't be saying it offensively either. In fact, the dangers of Augurian dunes are also known from previous reputations. But...

"We don't have a choice to leave. All you can do is choose a safe path as much as you can. You know what I mean?"

"You're the ones who don't understand. Okay? There's nothing we can do about that dune. Nest of Warcraft, witchy, not close to a far-sighted tower"

The shopkeeper began to talk about the dune threat in a manner irritated by the attitude of the devouring Subaru. The shopkeeper bends his lips by pointing to a closed window so as not to sand in, indicating the east of town.

"Every year, reckless people like you come for the dunes. The purpose is the tower of the wise in the sandy sea... but no one can reach it. If he comes back alive, it's your word, but most of the guys end up dried out in the sand sea or baited by the Warcraft."

"Are you sure there's no one you can get to?

"I think it was hundreds of years ago that a tower was built in the sand sea. Even though the number of idiots going for that place won't decrease, there's no way they won't be named if there's a reacher. You don't know that? He's going to be a failure in Kensei."

――――

The Preades Watch Tower offense is a failed challenge for even Reinhardt.

That has been heard by Reinhardt himself of the day, or even tells the story of the unusual height of difficulty for the surveillance tower strategy.

However, it is the Svalbards that need to be crossed.

"Of course, I don't do fools who can't help but penetrate. Gathering information for that purpose. Doing it in a tavern is basic, isn't it?

"Really? How come you're where you drink?

"I don't know when they ask me for more information, but maybe, you know, rumors get poured in because you drink and everybody's got lighter mouths?

"I mean, the drunken Yota story. I don't think it's a good idea to get stuck in the middle of something, but I don't think it's a good idea to be biased."

"Guh! Truth pierces!

Head-on beaten to honesty, Subaru drinks up the milk and sinks.

The usual Subaru pace of conversation is just as bad when the other person is a good adult. Shopkeepers, like Subaru, are probably accustomed to dealing with humans challenging the dunes without guns. As a matter of fact, the Subaru dune challenge is not that it's iron free, but it's treated the same way more than the opposing shopkeeper knows the reality.

As it is, on the wings that return without any clue -,

"Mostly, I even take girls to hell like that..."

"I'm sorry, store owner. You were worried about me earlier, and Subaru just complained."

Clogged, and Subaru concave, Emilia blocks the shopkeeper from starting the sermon. To Emilia's words entering from the apology, the shopkeeper turned his eyes round.

To such a shopkeeper, Emilia bows her head with a pepper.

"Thank you for everything, even though I don't even know your face"

"No, I'm sorry you sound so loud over here. I'm just not going to say anything wrong. Every time a bunch of young people like your ladies do."

"So many people, are you going to go see 'Sage'?

"I'll really see 'Sage', what a temperamental guy there isn't. Most guys have the honor of attacking the Augurian dunes. I'm sure some of them will give wisdom to a wise man, but if we get to the tower, we'll get a reward."

I shrug my shoulders and the store owner sighs with such faces as fed up.

As the word goes, I guess I've dropped off a bunch of challengers to the Preades Surveillance Tower. You seem to like people at the end of your face.

"That means I can't even see 'Sage' about the tower...?

"I don't even listen to the guy who got that far. Rumor has it that the wise man will still look down on the dunes from the top of the tower and inflict heavenly punishment on the wretched... but I didn't see it. That dune itself should not seem like a trap for me to hang my bait and hunt for my prey."

"Warcraft and temper, I thought you said. What's that?"

"Just like I said. Just like I asked. It's a nest of warcraft... warcraft has all kinds all over the kingdom, but that dune has all kinds of weird things"

Has Xing come on board, the shopkeeper lurks his voice but raps.

When Emilia snorts breathlessly, the shopkeeper looks away.

"The Black Winged Rat is adorable. Unicorn and sand earthworms of unique species can only be seen here. And then if there's a flower garden in the sand, it's a hunting ground for flower bears. Think of it as a nightmare."

"Hanaki Bear..."

"He's really only in Kararagi. It's a warcraft with flowers all over its body. You get tricked by your looks and you get close, you get a sip on your bowels."

"That's the Warcraft... Eh Saatsu..."

Warcraft is a beast to kill mankind, and by whom was it heard?

The shopkeeper snorts at Subaru, looking up at her face as she listens.

"But the most vigilant thing you have to do in the dunes is be more distracted than a warcraft. Sand-wind changes in the environment are not dangerous, but the priority is higher."

"You can't pin that temper."

Subaru twisted his neck to the shopkeeper who could cloud his voice on top of each other.

Qi, I've heard the word itself many times, and I can't imagine it literally. In short, it would be about the air that seems bad for your body to see, which has a bad effect on your body and spirit.

Toxic gas, I think it's different from the fun, but is it close to it?

"Uh, Subaru. I mean, if you say so, you call me Mana contaminated with bad things. It's invisible, but it's everywhere, isn't it?

"What, is Mana upset?

Subaru was surprised by Emilia's allegations. It's a plain explanation, but the implications change slightly from Svalbard's imaginary direction.

It is true that Mana has a very great influence on wizards and spirits. But if you're just going to live or ride a dragon and travel, it shouldn't be so much of a problem.

But Emilia shook her neck sideways loosely, as she foresaw such a subaru clapped interior.

"Don't take a sweet look at the temper. Originally, normal mana is pure without any color or orientation. But I'm upset... a bad thing can just take it out of the gate and make it worse in the creature's body. It's inevitable more than the gate is an organ that naturally takes in mana"

"You can't just hold your breath all the time."

"You're right about the lady's perception, but the mood drifts over the Augurian dunes. - Not only the creatures, but also the food and drinks."

"You mean you won't be able to eat?

"It means that if you eat it, the pollution of the air will go on at once. It's a crazy thing to just take a trace of it from the gate. Take it directly from your stomach. Swallow by pollution"

"When that happens, what happens? Are you sure you're not just gonna go crazy?

"Legend has it that you're going to die mad. Actually... well, you can't deny it."

A shopkeeper who shakes his head with few words, his complexion is bad.

He didn't say it directly, but he probably saw it. The end of a human being who was intruded into madness and died.

"That place is much better if you don't have to go. Do it."

"- Milk, it was a treat. Thank you for your time."

Emilia thanks the store owner for drinking up the hot milk.

Along the way, I guess the shopkeeper had a sense that he was being listened to softly. On top of that, he went on to say so much and tried to make the Subaru's policies bend.

I guess it's just sad. Still, Subaru and the others are going to stay the same.

"I'll leave your money behind. Subaru, let's go."

"Hmm... right"

I put the silver coin I took out on the counter and Emilia pulled Subaru's sleeve. Too expensive to pay for two cups of milk, but with chips for information and care.

Get up and thank the store owner and try to leave the store.

"- We've been talking about this for the past year or so, and now we see birds flying towards the dunes."

――――

A voice is heard on the backs of Subaru, who re-wears his robe and prepares for the sand wind. Turning around, the store owner turns his back on this one and continues in a solitary state as he wipes the glass.

"There's so much laughter about the birds flying for the tower. It's a baseless story..."

So I cut the words, and the shopkeeper put down the glass.

And

"If you can't count on me in the dunes, look for the birds. With any luck, we might be able to get you to the tower."

――――

"At a time when I can't count on you in the dunes, my luck is at its worst."

Subaru and Emilia left the store without responding to the store owner's words.

Going outside, the momentum of the sand wind is much weaker. Emilia turned back to Subaru, making sure her sight was open some more than when she entered the tavern.

"Once we get back to the inn and join everyone. Maybe when Anastasia and the others are back."

"Right. I'm also concerned about the harvest over there."

Standing in front of Emilia, who covered her face again, she walks out in the windscreen.

Around the distance until I couldn't see the tavern that way, Emilia squeaks small.

"The guy from the store earlier, he didn't have one leg"

"... you didn't realize"

"I don't know where you were injured... but I guess that's what you mean"

To Emilia's thoughtful words, Subaru can see what she's trying to say, too.

A shopkeeper who complained to two strange travellers about the dangers of the dunes quite intimately.

If that was advice from his experience, they're terrible to shake that care off and challenge themselves to the dunes. I felt it that way.

"Natsuki-kun and Emilia seem to be back safely."

It was Anastasia who should have been out, just like the Subaru, who returned to the inn and welcomed the Subaru who sanded down and went up to the room.

Anastasia, dressed from her outdoor clothes and lowering her hips on the sleeping table, is smiling quite a bit.

Accommodation with a single row is a decent accommodation in Milula.

Still inferior compared to Pristella's "Water Feather Pavilion," etc., but there is nothing else to be convinced by the disparity at the city level.

"What about Julius?

"After sending us to the inn, we're going to take a look around town. I think I'll get used to the sand. Natsuki and the others. How'd you do that?

"You really want a dust-proof goggle. It's like clear glass, so you cover it like it blocks this area of your face. Can't you make it?

Thinking of underwater goggles, Subaru asks as he shows himself around his eyes. Anastasia tilted her neck at the words and nodded, "I see."

"I have problems with glass finishing and strength, but is it worth a thought...? The sandstyle problem is irrelevant, but it might be a usable idea."

"It's not like we want to talk about a previous patent relationship. Without it... Well, I don't think even 'sand time' would mean inaction"

"The problem is more than sand, like warcraft or anger. I'll try to work on the Spirit with me and Beatrice... but the Warcraft depends on Mary."

Emilia, who said so, turns her gaze toward the next room over the wall.

Your room should currently be in the shape of Beatrice's surveillance. I just want to believe that I won't betray you emotionally, but Mary's priors are priors. Come on, you can't trust me, and I can't tell you enough about her, her connection to her mother. Her mother doesn't try to seal her mouth, not necessarily.

"In the meantime, the directions depend on Anastasia. You're crossing the line."

"When it comes to the usual, it's the usual thing,"

"Must be."

Subaru loosens his lips in the rare Emilian tea, then sees Anastasia. She stretched her spine over the bunk and continued with the words "So, the burn".

"Don't worry, I've fulfilled my purpose, okay? The adjustment of the wheel around the dragon car and our handling into the dunes should be as demanded."

"Yes...... sorry. I kind of got it all done."

"Yeah. Yeah. Instead, we'll let you think of Emilia militarily."

Anastasia waves to Eagle Deep Friends.

The purpose of her mouth - one is to adjust the dragon car entering the dunes. Typically, dragon cars are only assumed to run on well-maintained streets or at least roads. However, most of the roads this time are sandy roads, and the normal dragon cars make the journey irresistible.

It's a hand to put the dragon car down and travel on the ground dragon - but it wasn't realistic considering there are many women and children here and some unconscious lems.

As a result, it was necessary to adjust the dragon car suitable for the desert area and to change the ground dragon.

"I can't leave Patrash behind, though. I can't believe I left that behind."

"That kid is awesome and smart. If I told you to leave it, Subaru, you'd bite me..."

In fact, I can't say anything because it's going to be. I'm not leaving you.

"So, if you're not a dragon car, you can negotiate..."

"I can bargain enough. I forgive him for being anxious, but I just wanted to let him hear it."

Make him smile lovingly, but Svalbard's back gets cold, guessing that the grin isn't what it looks like.

Dragon cars and the other thing. Simply put, it's a ritual of passage to reach the dunes.

In other words, if Emilia and Anastasia, the candidates for the King, go unknown in the Augurian dunes, where is the blame, etc.

As things stand, it is a well-known fact that the two are in such an important position for the kingdom that it can be said that they are of paramount importance. It would be important if those two were to have been buried in the sand in the Augurian dunes, and naturally a rough idea is expected about where the responsibility lies.

Augurian Dunes - Regardless of the custodians of the dunes themselves, the weight of their responsibilities is no longer bearable for the lords who rule around Milula at the end of their stops.

So in advance, Anastasia was going under the lord to convince the lord that 'no matter what, it is the candidate's own responsibility'.

"Still, I don't even know if I can blame you for stopping it nicely... our lives aren't just ours. You're responsible, aren't you?

"That's true from the beginning. Not because it's a king's race or a candidate, but because unless we meet the Wise Men and find a way to get all sorts of things back, there are a lot of people who can't help us. That's not what I'm saying right now."

"Unless you can count on me."

Anastasia rejoiced somewhere and looked back at Emilia, who so affirmed. Then she tilted her neck and said, "So?" and turn to Subaru.

"Did you and Natsuki walk away and reap the harvest? Well, really, it's not like he was just out in the sand, you know?

"Well, I wasn't sprinkling dates in the sand wind. For once, I could hear it from a familiar person."

"It just so happens that the people at the store were familiar with it."

"You chose the tavern, my vision glowed."

"I chose the store, I think it was me..."

Either way, it doesn't matter what the flow is or whose handle it is on the information itself.

When she told Anastasia the story of the tavern earlier, she had a contemplative look.

"I see birds...... hmmm"

"What, is that what bothers you?

"Other stories are, well, about half a step up in common sense about challenging the Augurian dunes. More interesting than that, I figured we'd make that change. Birds and whatnot, even though they seem to be sensitive to the winds around them."

"Sure when they say that..."

To Anastasia's words, think Emilia as she touches her hair. sidelined Emilia sinking into her thoughts, Subaru gently looked closer to Anastasia,

"- No way, do you really have a verse that comes to mind?

"This doesn't come to mind. It's just that it's interesting"

――――

"Don't look so suspicious. Look, she'll be suspicious."

Collar Donna's heart peeks into her face, but when she says so, there's nothing else to pull in. Fortunately, Emilia, still thinking about it, hasn't seen the current exchange, but she felt like a man while desperately hiding the affair as to why the reassuring Subaru's chest was.

"What do we do when we leave?

"Faster. Yeah, do it? I'm done discussing it with the dragon car I was worried about... if I just replenished the package to load, I'd better get out soon."

"Tomorrow, it's sudden, about the day after tomorrow?

"Let's do that."

When Anastasia said so and hit her hand, she nodded that Emilia had also accepted.

Then he narrowed his eyes, turning his gaze toward the window of the room, the glass window that was tightly closed so that the sand would not come in.

Emilia's purple blue eyes stare at the sight east beyond the window.

There stands a great shadow, stretching high enough to overcome the town.

"Preades Surveillance Tower"

Pompous, the sound of a silver bell called the building.

The tower of purpose is so tall and large that it can be seen from within Milula as well.

- Is it possible to overlook something that big?

Subaru has always had such doubts about the appearance of the Preades surveillance tower, which he began to see on the street before arriving in Milula.

How can I go wrong and not find so many landmarks?

But while I think so, the advice of the liquor store owner also pierces me.

"Is it out of the question, is it foolish?"

Whatever happens, there is no option not to challenge.

That's why I'm going to have chosen the means to just take it and increase its possibilities.

It should be different from that storekeeper's said, reckless and foolish adventurer, I think.

That's why Subaru doesn't notice, and he doesn't.

- Whatever happens, there is no option not to challenge.

At this point, he said he had already closed the first path himself.
