Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

- The space distorts, the world breaks, and falls upside down in the resulting rift.

A world that exposes itself to the ease and cleavage of breaking thin paper and tears it apart lightly.

Subaru's tympanic membrane swallowed from the head into the distortion doesn't pop any murmur into the back of his back with its grand visual effect.

What I heard was my screaming voice and the voice someone was calling themselves.

Even that gets far, and eventually I can't hear it.

The feeling I was in contact with also kept away, my fingers peeled off and the distance away.

As it is, will it be thrown out to a place where there is no one, nothing, to be alone?

Subaru's consciousness was slowly surfacing with such loneliness and sorrow.

And -,

"- How long have you been asleep? Come on, Balls."

"Pororo!?

A sharp feeling pierced his flank and Subaru screamed at the impact.

When you get up by accidentally letting your torso jump, the sand that hangs around your body rises to dust. I coughed up and spit out gravel in my mouth.

"Ugh! Pepe! Pee! What? What happened!?

Rub your eyes abusively and check your surroundings as you stand up. And my knee laughed trying to get up to the poor scaffolding. Underfoot, that's unchanged, a fine sandy sea of particles.

Just before he loses consciousness, Subaru decides that this is the extension of the Augurian dunes. But I'm not sure about the sights around looking over. Because it's too dark, too dark.

Only the presence of artificial light caught Subaru's eyes in the dark, which is even dangerous at hand.

"It's something you can sleep in this emergency a lot. I can't even tell you what it is."

A spicy voice comes down, and the bearer of light tinkles his nose.

It is a form of demonic stone craftsmanship that emits light, and the lighting processed with ragmite ore is a Cantera-like tool. Seeing his face illuminated by the light, Subaru frowned.

"- Ram, huh?

"Who else do I look like? Rem, I don't expect any boring answers."

"... Rem and you don't look alike, or anything seeping out of the inside."

Subaru pays his knees again in response to Ram's words, which seem drier than usual. Then I received her offering cantera and looked over lightly around.

"Where are we? What happened? What happened?

"As much as I'd like to know where Ram is. It's three steps worse than Balls thought."

"Do you expect me to be an optimist? You think I'm a pessimist?

"Which would be better in this case?"

The response should probably have included a trick to shrug your shoulders.

The space illuminated by lighting is slightly wider in the dark, not even sure how the ram looks right next to it. Probably getting into a cavity or something.

Overhead there is a loud high ceiling, and the walls of the ground attest to the breadth of the depth.

"I don't feel the outside air, and I don't see the sky. Are you saying he was thrown in one way or another...?

"If Mr. Beatrice's words were certain before the division, it would be due to the distortion of space."

"Break it up...... yes, break it up! What about the others!?

As I listened to the pale, emotionless words of Ram, my understanding caught up with reality.

Subaru moves the lighting to the right and to the left, asking around for shadows other than the ram. But in the space illuminated by that proof, the way I wanted it didn't reflect me.

"As you can see, we've been cut off. Balus' magic nullifies the deception to the surveillance tower... as a result, I don't know if I've entered the right path, or if I've been trapped in a distortion of time and space and wandered here forever"

"What if I'm telling you!? Why are you so calm! The combination of me and you means... they're flying completely random!?

To explain the quiet ram, Subaru blued his face and raved his voice.

I can immediately recall Beatrice screaming and the space in front of me tore. The rift swallowed a whole line of Subaru's and dragged them into another space.

At that time Subaru and Ram were not accompanying each other, but they should have been in another group. Subaru straddled Patrash and Ram was in the dragon car.

"This split doesn't seem to make it a condition for accompanying you to be in touch. The moment he entered the rift, Ram must have held a lem... something like this."

"I bet Bear kid was sticking to me, too. And yet I don't see it... I don't see it, do I? Are you kidding me, there's only me and Ram here? What kind of division?"

If the conditions of the division are not contact, is there any reason?

There are eight people in all in this group. As only Subaru and Ram have in common, there should be no notable reason. After all, are you saying it's a completely random grouping?

"No, speculation on the terms is behind us now! More than that, now I have to hurry to rendezvous with everyone...... no! There's more to be done! It's Lem!"

――――

"Me and you are still better off because we are two. Each of the other guys still has hope if they're splitting up with someone. But if there's a guy who's alone, and that's Lem. Oh, my God... that sucks."

Emilia, Julius, and the two of you with a single line of combat power this time around are in trouble.

Mary and Beatrice also do something if they are alone in their respective abilities. As for Anastasia-Collar Donna, there must probably be a trump card that defeated 'lust'.

The other faces are better than the combination of Subaru and Ram.

- But only Rem is different.

Only Lem is completely, unlike any other face, unable to act independently.

Even with someone, it's hard to act while protecting her from falling asleep. And worst of all, if a split lem was left alone, it could be just waiting for 'death' in this lonely sea of sand.

"It's important for us to rendezvous with everyone else, but our top priority is securing Rem! I can't leave him in such a lonely place. That's all there is to it... absolutely not. Absolutely, no...!

"... Balus"

"Because I told you I'd bring him in... to think that if I let him see 'Sage', he might be able to wake him up, and so on. No. Absolutely, damn, just Rem......!

"Balth, calm down. Now even in a hurry..."

"Why are you so calm! Aren't you worried about Rem because he's out of memory!?

"-! There's no way!

Imagine the worst possible, Subaru juxtaposing desperate futures and repentance early on. In the words of Subaru, the rum explodes like it couldn't stand the sieve.

When she grabbed the confusing Subaru chest barn, she forced it against the sand wall behind her.

"You think you're the only one worried about Rem? Don't get on the diagram, Balls. Even if you don't feel it, Ram is Rem's sister. Don't be ridiculous."

――――

"... I have a slight connection with that kid. So at least you're safe now. Believe me, calm down for a moment."

Peel out your emotions, not that look. Seeing, however, an indelible impatience and anxiety in his eyes to disguise himself as calm, Subaru pulled his strength out of his stiff shoulders. I guess that makes Lamb lose his arm, too. Freed from the wall, Subaru leaned down.

"... bad. I'm sorry. I'm really stupid and I suck."

"Most of the time. If Balth just lived and kept reflecting, that would be the end of the day. Stop wasting your time."

"... oh, bad"

Subaru apologizes for only one last time, feeling that the tongue is a sign of rambling handbeating. Then I slapped myself on the cheek as much as I wanted and put my temper back in.

Ram assured Lem of his current safety, but still, the anxiety of her being alone could not have been wiped away. We have to rendezvous with them quickly. The situation remains the same.

"Anyway, let's hurry up the rendezvous. Ram, can't you find a place for Rem or something with that sympathy?

"It's hard. She's asleep, so it's like a heartbeat coming through. I have Chiriko by other means... but I can't really guess that either."

"Why not?

"This dune is full of warcraft and there are few normal flora and fauna." Thousand Eyes "can't borrow a view unless the ram and wavelength match. It doesn't overlap with Warcraft. With this rash on his face, Ram can only draw attention to the dragon in Balth."

"Patrash? No, you still have enough. Patrash and Gian, too, if you're with someone, I want to make sure. Especially if there's a whole dragon car."

"... that doesn't make much sense"

Subaru twists his neck feeling agitated by the attitude of the unridden ram. Now is the time to get more information for the rendezvous.

And yet I reluctantly rely on it here, I don't understand Ram's mood.

But the answer appeared quicker than to utter words confirming its sincerity.

――

Past the edge of sight on the fence is a different light from the cantera in Subaru's hands.

Subaru, who had a vivid memory of the unpleasant light passing the edge of his sight, shrugged himself, but the light he showed was irrelevant, shaken by a gentle movement.

The light gradually approached this way, and eventually slowly its contours became clearer,

"Mr. Lamb and Natsuki-kun, it looks like we're done discussing this, huh?

"- Anastasia and Patrash?

The familiar Kararagi valve came down and Subaru was surprised to lift his neck slightly. If you look at it, it is Anastasia who is rocking across Patrash's back with a cantera in one hand that is different from Subaru's.

In response to the Anastasia inquiry, Ram bows down by picking the hem of the robe on the spot.

"Thank you for your consideration, Master Anastasia. So, what's going on around you?

"I've just been looking in the back a little bit, but I don't see any other kids. Three of us were flown by these guys... and it's just like this kid."

"Really?"

"Don't let me lose my mind. I don't know if I'm gonna get any rest. Burns."

"Thank you for your concern. Yeah, I know... I'm going to"

To Anastasia from the dragon, Ram politely responded that way. In the course of that conversation, Subaru decides that Anastasia was barely looking around.

but that's enough to convince me, and I'm not convinced by the lack of explanation.

"Hey, Ram. Weren't you and I the only two people here? Explain it to me."

"I don't recall ever saying that Ram and Balth were alone. I guess Balls was just excited to make that decision on his own. ugly."

"Rem's too worried to take care of it, you're cuter, sister"

"Ha."

To Subaru's story, Ram snorted to make a fool of himself at his usual rate.

Subaru walks toward Anastasia, feeling demoralized by that attitude.

"Regardless of what was plotted, it's good news that Anastasia was safe. I'm relieved."

"You can't misunderstand the plot because we're not connected? We'll be all alone or without you. And Patrash, Natsuki-kun's dragon, was a good boy."

He puts his foot on the saddle and Anastasia tries to get off Patrash by surprise. and Patrash slowly crouched onto the spot and helped descend the dragon.

That's right, a ground dragon that was made. It is a handsome dragon. Female, though.

"There's no one else hiding, is there? Seriously, just the four of us?

"There's definitely four of us, including Patrash. There's no reason for Emilia or Julius to come out... well, I don't know about you, Marie."

"Is this noise multiplied by whether you're running away?... I'm not saying there isn't."

Thinking of a three-knit girl in the back of her brain, Subaru turns her thoughts on Mary's choices.

Shortly before the split, Mary has been exposed to Subaru for sneaking up on warcraft and insuring her. "Back to Death," Subaru knows that Mary actually served in its warcraft to protect dragon cars from attacks from surveillance towers and flocks of flower bears.

It's just that that's something that hasn't happened around this time, and by nature, the only answer to what purpose Mary was following the sand earthworm is in her mind.

It's not stranger that Mary escapes the line and tries to leave the dunes by herself than in these circumstances.

"But I didn't..."

"Expectations? Or, no way. Trust what?

"Keep your wish. Besides, what was going on around you?

Put down your stance on Mary, and Subaru asks Anastasia to report the search. She put her hand in her robe and tilted her neck "That's it, hey".

"From what we've seen, it's definitely in the dunes... I think it's probably underground here"

"Underground? Of the dunes, you mean further underground?

"Down in the sand of the dunes, you know. Caves... I would talk about cavities without, but obviously the temperature is low compared to the ground and the air is heavy"

Svalbard nods at a method that shakes in front of the matching robe and appeals to the chills.

Indeed, at present, the skin chills in the space spent in this way are much stronger than in the situation on the brink. The high ceilings and the invisible spaces of the sky, too, coincide with the speculation.

"Underground in the dunes...... you have a bad feeling. I hope it's not a sand earthworm hole."

"Ugh... that's..."

It's a possible story.

In fact, we have seen the presence of sand earthworms living in the ground, and given the enormity of the individuals served by Mary, this cavity is large enough. Given the ecology of sand earthworms without eyes, this darkness of cavities without light is also a perfect match.

"That team, it's too hard for you to fight...... did me, Ram and Anastasia go out of their way to consolidate in non-combatants!?

"Dear Emilia, treat yourself with dignity as a non-combatant... you can't do this"

"Tell me you're being realistic. I'm not so sure I can whip myself without Beatrice."

Compared to faces with means of self-defence, there is only one member who truly lacks combat power. Restricted rams and Subaru lacking Beatrice are beyond mention.

"By the way, what about that Master Beatrice? If you're a contractor, don't you feel connected?

"Hate, me and Bear are strongly tied together in my heart, but it doesn't involve a realistic feeling. No, Bear said before that she'd feel me, but she can't from me."

"Not Available"

"You can't do that."

Off his face from the sighing ram, Subaru gently turns to Anastasia. And whispered small on her flat side.

"So, you can fight? What do you say?

"- If you have to, of course, fight. It's just going to cut Anna's life. As for me, I want to avoid it as much as possible. Let me count on you."

"That expectation will be betrayed. I don't know if it means good or bad."

Only for a moment, Subaru snorted at Anastasia, who became Echidona's face.

Then he turns to Patrash, who quietly awaits instructions, and strokes his nose tip with his palms. The pitch-black earth dragon leaned silently and rubbed its hard scales against Subaru.

"It hurts. It hurts...... but I'm relieved. Emilia pulled out Beatrice too... but I'm so glad you're here. But you don't really seem to make sense to the grouping."

"- Balus."

Share your anxiety with Patrash and look back at the call from Ram. Then Ram put his arms around Subaru and squeezed his jaw in the direction of Anastasia.

"I can't stay jizzy forever. Let's also move to join the others. Fortunately, thanks to Master Anastasia, there are lights. The rams will move on."

"Oh... so, no, this light was brought out by Anastasia?

"Just before the dragon car was swallowed, I only grabbed the emergency bag that Natsuki-kun had prepared. Thanks to the lights, the knife, and the emergency food, we were able to bring them in."

When Anastasia pointed at Patrash, a small emergency bag was caught in the saddle. It's a literal piece of equipment that Subaru keeps for dragon cars as a 'emergency lift'.

If I don't get a chance to be helpful, I'm still disappointed with the current situation, which has helped.

"I knew you didn't make fun of the wisdom of this hand. … and don't forget to check the emergency doors first where you're staying for the first time"

"Whatever the bullshit is, it's also Balth's handle. Let me give you a light for the reward, so you can lead the way."

"Heh... is this a reward?

They give me Cantera, and two Rams and Anastasia ride on Patrash's back.

Subaru is my servant's position, no matter what you think.

"Exactly the threesome...... can we and Mr. Lamb pack it?

"Let's not, Master Anastasia. When you can snuggle, you can imagine Balth pushing your body like this."

"Imagine it on your own, but if that's what you're gonna do, I'm gonna imagine it even more amazing! That's not a threat! Stop licking puberty!

When I raised my middle finger and insisted hard, just as Anastasia laughed bitterly. Ram's response remains the same, but Subaru walks out into the back of the cavity with one hand of Cantera.

It's like forgetting the situation, subaru and rum light-hearted - which I'm sure was just vain enough to go around empty-handed so as not to look directly at the anxieties in each other's minds.

Although we both probably noticed that and didn't say anything.

Subaru was going through the great cavity of the sand, distressed by the lack of walking.

Exactly. Patrash is something I'm used to, and there's nothing wrong with the movement trying to keep two heavy stones on my back. Subaru was also able to proceed without much distress with the application of the sand sea walking he had learned in the past few days, except for the feeling of sand entering his boots.

"The wind... it's coming, it's not coming"

"It's coming. However, given the thinness of the wind, it's long before it's connected to the ground."

On the road, dampen your fingertips with your tongue to explore the wind, but not sure about Subaru. A wind-sensitive ram explores it instead, but the exit you seek still seems to be ahead.

Plus the exit, but the priority is also to rendezvous with your people. As for you, unfortunately, it doesn't mark anything where you rely on the wind.

"Lady Emilia and Julius should not get lost in the guidance of the Micro Spirit. And in that regard, I'm tempted to suspect that the candidate is malicious."

"Right. No, the directions for the microspirits are pretty effective. Damn, in my case, the Bear kid is too existentially strong to run away with the slight spirits. I'm not a capa."

What became apparent was also Emilia's strength outside of Julius' power of war.

Even members of the Sovereign Enemy who give way do not go as far as they think. Just carefully look around and proceed so as not to overlook them as much as possible.

"Mr. Lamb, but before Natsuki-kun woke up... I was pretty messed up as soon as I was flown. I can't find Mr. Rem, and now he's hiding it from me."

"... right"

Sneaking up, Anastasia listens to me about it, and I get worse and worse at talking to Ram right after I wake up more and more.

My sister's presence scratched out of my memory, and then I bet Svalbard has seen the rum I spent the year with. Between the two of them, there must be something left that has disappeared. Nobody else, even though Subaru was the only one who had to believe that.

"Well, it's not funny that they're all dark-faced with Zubuzubu, and if you've reflected, look straight ahead. Yeah? If you don't, you'll overlook the important things."

"... don't get sick. You, don't say too good things. I was caged in a similar situation to your big book."

"It's time for you to think about that big book separately from me. Girls hate me when I'm too persistent. This is also my rule of thumb that I've been looking at."

"I don't know any other approach. I'll keep it on the edge of my mind."

He exchanged light mouths around the tongue, deluding his haste and anxiety about the lack of progress.

With those conversations pinched, the line proceeds to the back of the great cavity. It doesn't make any difference, sand walls on sand roads - I have a few things to think about as I walk down those roads. It's

"The Nest of the Warcraft, how vigilant... don't run into a single Warcraft"

"That's what Ram cared about, too."

I kick the sand under my feet, and I agree with Subaru, who spilled it so.

Proceeding back through the great cavity, it's time for a small hour to pass. No one, I'm in a hurry for nothing, but it's an uneasy and unpleasant feeling to recruit more than that.

Regardless, it must be a welcome thing not to have harmful enemies, but I can't wipe a bad feeling that it's too quiet. - As if, disconnected from the world.

"No way, really, you weren't swallowed up by a subspace that didn't connect you anywhere, were you?

"Then we'll talk about which wind we're counting on. Do you imagine the nose of an unusual, big, ferocious warcraft in the Lord of this cavity?

"I'm afraid you can't laugh that off."

In fact, no wonder what happens. It is with this eye that the world can already be broken. Wherever that rift was connected, it doesn't deserve surprise.

"Regardless of the malevolent candidate, it's hard to imagine what the side who set the deception up to be broken assumed. I did it for you. It's not a deactivation, it's a coincidence."

"I mean, what do you mean?

"It's no use imagining this path as it is, connected to the stomach of a warcraft. - Look, look."

Ram rationally denies that lack of progress leads to pessimistic opinions. Then at the end of the explanation she urged Subaru, who had stopped her leg, to look forward.

Following that allegation, Subaru offers Cantera forward with his eyes gazed. Then the passage of the cavity that is illuminated narrows, in front of -,

"It's a divide."

"Right or left, for example. What do we do?"

"My knowledge tells me to pick the right at a time like this," Krapica said.

"Who is it?"

Behaviourally, I remember people talking about being unconsciously easier to pick the left when they get lost. Perhaps it's a matter of complicating various conditions when you include a dominant eye, a dominant arm, or even a dominant foot, but for one thing we're talking about some of those notions.

For this reason, I would like to assume that following the reasoning of Subaru's known brainiac character is the right way to go -.

"So, which way does Balus want to go?

"... to be honest, to the left"

"Do you want to talk about Krapica?

"Who is it?"

Ram raises the question in Subaru's answer, and Anastasia tears it up.

Literally alone, that exchange would be received that way.

- But in fact, the three people who exchange those words look bad, and their expressions are hard. On top of that, even Patrash, who couldn't solve the words, had a rugged eye, staring down the path to the right.

The cause is the overwhelming negative feeling felt from the right path.

In the abstract, I have a bad feeling. If you choose more words, that's close to fear.

Choosing the right path is dangerous, instincts are alarming.

"I think the right... sucks. I don't feel like it's gonna be a busy thing."

"Rarely, I agree with Balth. What about Master Anastasia?

"If you're a Kararagi majority, flip it when you get two votes... and we don't have the courage to choose the right here, to be honest"

I can't shake a sleeve without it, and Anastasia's method of waving both hands is the answer for everyone.

Subaru is not the only one. Both Lamb and Anastasia have a sensation of incompetence on the right side of the road, just like Patrash. Therefore, we cannot choose the right path.

"Then left? … this is not a bad choice because it feels like a choice."

"So, back? I don't have anything to gain."

"I don't have anything to lose. I might be too passive."

Lamb and anastasia fly in the subaru where they sit.

I shrugged my shoulders without a choice and Subaru stepped out to walk in front of Patrash. Towards the left road, straight ahead.

If you go that way even as you get lost, the distance will probably be very far from the right path in the cavity. Something like the pressure I was also feeling over the sand wall kept me away, and I found myself losing the power that was naturally in my shoulders.

- It's a bad place.

You felt the same thing, you heard Ram whine that way, and Subaru silently agrees.

of that division, an overwhelming negative thought felt on the right path. I have instinctively repelled that for another reason for choosing the left path.

- Inside Subaru's chest, there is some kind of presence that screams delight in the path to the right.

It was horrible to follow that.

That was undisputed and was a major factor in why Subaru chose the path.

The team 'non-combatants' proceeded through the cavity and a few more hours passed across the divide.

――――

――――

――――

Slowly, the number of mouths of the three continuing searches for the great cavity is also falling dramatically.

That is also due to fatigue, but in an irreplaceable darkness, a silence that even obscured the passage of time but also helped the weariness of the late spirit.

In fact, that's just how Subaru feels about the fact that a few hours have passed, and I don't know what's really going on. I can't throw away the possibility that I'm using my time better than I thought, or wasting more time.

All I know is, there's just no progress, that's all.

"... that divide, I guess it was the right"

"Weak sound if you think I haven't spoken in a long time? Cut it out. You're so lame."

Blurring and blurring with dry lips, the ram pierces me spicy.

But I also don't have a hegemony for her poison. Thin, I found that she was also dominated by the anxiety that she couldn't find anything like this.

I am confident that I have already walked a few kilometres, albeit on foot, down a sandy path with bad scaffolding.

If you can't see the end of the cavity with that, you can't help but have a bad feeling. It is also natural that you want to suspect that you have gone the wrong way.

He said that if we reached the end of the line, we would also give up turning back.

"On the ground, that series of lights... what do you think it was?

Afraid that the negative conversation will continue like this, Subaru changes the direction of the topic.

What brought it to the agenda was the light of the watchtower, which became the first cut off of this situation - a dune defense mechanism, supposedly prepared by the wise.

It was a needle.

"Needle?"

To Subaru's question, Ram responds with few words. As she spilled her exhale back into Subaru listening, she gently stroked her own peachy hair,

"I don't know the fine principle, but I was magically flying an elongated needle. It must have been the magical action of flying that the needle had heat. However, the needle itself seems to have been specially made. Because after they bounced and fell on the sand, they were crumbling and disappearing."

"... you've been watching so much in that noise"

"If you look at it, you'll know about it"

Sayin 'hello, I guess it's just that Ram's eyesight isn't normal. Now when Subaru looked at him, Anastasia shook her neck sideways in a frightened manner.

In the case of Ram, I know my talent and it's a statement, so I just don't like it. Nevertheless, it is just an analysis.

"What do you think the purpose is?

"Defeat anything close to the surveillance tower… it's a mystery that you stubbornly targeted Balth. Reducing them from weak enemies is fundamental to tactics, so maybe that's it."

"Shit, you can't deny it!

In the long run, if that's the kind of decision they made, you're right, so I can't help it. Nevertheless, it is thanks to this that no victims have been found in the company.

I'm glad the invincible magical Subaru is weak, you can settle down to the conclusion.

Just in that case...

"Friendly contact with a wise man is difficult."

"I think that's a quick one. From over there, you've been setting us up to know nothing about our identity, our purpose or anything? We think there are gaps in the discussion."

"And worst of all, it's the knowledge of a wise man who has errands, not personality. If you're not gonna talk, just tie him up, hurt him properly, but let him talk."

"Sister, that's what Villain Sid said!?

"If you want something, take the means. It's not for kids."

The ram is flat in the blazing Subaru. That's why the seriousness was conveyed, and Subaru was in the mood to be reminded of the sweetness of his readiness and the shallowness of his bottom.

Regardless of whether it really does run, I'm pretty sure Ram is ready for that. That's the only proof she has of the seriousness to devote herself to Rem.

――――

When you touch Ram's readiness, Subaru may also need to decide to be ready.

Ready to get your hands dirty for Rem, not. You shouldn't blame Rem for that.

What you have to do is be prepared to achieve results.

When you're relative to the existence of a wise man, no matter what opponent it was, you can ruthlessly break it off - be prepared to do so.

"- Eh."

"Patrash?"

It was at the same time that Subaru chewed his lips and thought so, and Patrash stuck his breath.

Ground dragons stare at the path and roar small as they tighten their eyes. Subaru, who realizes how it is, also stops and returns to forgive the dragon. I stroked that neck muscle and said, "What's up?," he called.

"Have you noticed anything? What..."

- It's the cause.

That's what Ram said on behalf of Subaru, who interrupts the words along the way and pushes them silently. Anastasia looks up and peeks into the back of the aisle just like Patrash.

Regardless, I see nothing over there with the darkness spreading, but there is another feeling that appeals to me instead of being seen. - Slipping into the nasal cavity is the burning smell of something fragrant.

"... the smell of fire, you think?

"You don't feel anything else. It doesn't seem like the cooking facilities are in order."

"If this is fire... the odor is caused by civilized people, right?

――――

Neither Ram nor Anastasia can easily snort at Subaru's inquiry.

I can see their judgment, too. But the smell that drifts is clearly purposeful and burns something. The lamb was called cooking, but the fragrance was close to it.

Burning fire, or boiling for a meal? For example:

"Do you think there's any possibility of Emilia and the others?

"If it's an assumption that you've been flown to the same place, you've got plenty of potential. However, whether using fire is a circumstance that makes sense or not, we don't have a decision to make."

――――

There will be no answer for who is at the end of the road, even if we are consulting here.

Then call to confirm the will of the other person, such an idea also comes to mind,

"It's not always friendly to be at the end of the road."

If it weren't for Emilia and the others, would it be the 'wise men' who fall into the category as a possibility? It's hard to think of a wise man coming down who's supposed to be in the watchtower, but it's not.

In that case, if the hostilities continue, the corresponding attack power is expected.

"... hide the lights and move on. Using fire means there's a light over there. We suck. You can hide it."

"It's strange to say for sure what caused it, and I think it's reasonable."

Anastasia nods at Subaru's suggestion, and Ram quietly agrees with it late.

Within the two cantellas, dropping the lights of those owned by the Rams, a line proceeded towards the back of the aisle, where the smell of fire drifted, relying solely on the lighting of Subaru.

"Balus."

"Am I?"

"If anything happens, I'm gonna put it down and run away. Don't resent me."

"Let me curse you then"

Because I know I'm going to be scared, or I can be courageous with Ram's words.

Seeing the lamb slightly loosen its lips at Subaru's light mouth, Subaru leads the aisle straight again. Proceeding with Patrash's breath behind his back, as the scent of fire gradually intensified,

"-! The lights."

Across the aisle, I found a slightly shaking red light.

Subaru immediately drops his lights and instructs the three behind him to remain silent. Then he drops his hips and heads to ascertain the presence of light as he steps in the sand with his sneak feet.

One, two steps - as we go along, apparently we see that it is beyond the bend that the light is shining. The passage is slightly broken to the left, and the fire comes from beyond.

――――

Quietly reach the bend and glance over the other side with your back against the wall. Then the slightly feverish wind tickled Subaru's forehead and unwittingly closed his eyes.

- Shortly afterwards, Subaru's foot is decided on the sieve, and the sand slide rolls its body diagonally.

"Nah -!?"

Uncomfortable with the unintended blow, Subaru rolled down the slope, forgetting to even step on it. The fine sand of the particles is intolerable and slides upside down to the bottom.

Sticking from his head into a mountain of sand, and rolling about a dozen meters of steep slopes, Subaru woke up again spitting out sand.

"Ugh! Pee! Sand again... no, more than that..."

Shaking his head, Subaru looks around. By surprise now, Cantera accidentally let go. Put your arms around your body if you're close to them, and your hands touch the stiff ones.

For a moment, I wondered if you'd found Cantera, but that's a different feel than the rigid one I had gripped earlier. The surface is crusty and the touch is like a stick of wood. Light when lifted, but quite thick and long.

"What...?

Even if you gaze closer, you don't know who it is in the dark.

If you smell terrified, what you feel slightly is the smell of charcoal -

――――

The next moment I thought so, a sudden light occurred directly behind me.

The sole that emerged behind it is a primitive glow that swings red, and is called a flame. And to a world lit up by flames, Subaru saw the identity of the things he gripped.

- It's probably a creature's foot.

What was an animal was burned until all of it became charcoal chips, as a result.

And around the sitting Subaru was scattered with such former creatures that became charcoal chips, and Subaru was slipping into the middle of countless burnt corpses.

"Oh!? Wow! Wow!?

Throw out the charcoal chips that were in your hand, and Subaru lags behind in a loose way. But what was behind the lag was terrible, and the heat wave burned the nod, and now it fell forward. And finally look back, and look straight at it.

"- Huh!!

Bathing a resounding roar from the front, Subaru thinks of it as a reality escape.

How could these guys say that all the sounds of the Warcraft are so nasty that they stimulate human discomfort no more?

Such a high, crackling squeal sounds like countless babies crying in unison.

Burning red in a space full of burning corpses is a blasphemous creature that Subaru has never even seen - exactly a warcraft, but not the same colour as before.

To the best of Subaru's knowledge, all warcraft are distorted and ugly, but they are often in that form, as if they were somehow multiplied with existing organisms.

This is true even for white whales and large ravens. All of them, foundations existed as animals.

But right now, I don't want to fit that concept into the warcraft that exists in front of me.

"- Huh!!

A crying warcraft can, at first glance, find something in common with a horse.

Thin, but hard four legs that exist to drive the earth forcefully. It is the same as a horse that has a torso supported by its four legs and a long tail shaking from its glutes.

However, there is a human torso in the area where the horse's neck is supposed to lead to the head. A man's torso has two more arms, four legs and two more. And there's no head from the neck to the top of a person's torso. As it is from the neck to the top, 'horns' are growing.

Proof of Warcraft and an easy-to-understand landmark for being decidedly different from other animals.

The horn grows instead of the head. I don't have a head. When it comes to where is the rattling mouth, the chest to belly of a person's torso is torn vertically, and the teething oral cavity is claiming its existence horizontally.

"... it's a monster"

The blasphemy of life is there, even in brackets called warcraft.

In Subaru's knowledge it was close to a fantastic creature called Centaur, a half-man and a half horse, but there was a distorted statue as if he had thrown a reproduction on the way.

And would Centaur be, he is growing hyenas of flame from the back of the torso part of a person, burning sand cavities with incredible firepower, causing red light to gush.

If you look at that firepower, it's history who created the burning bodies that roll around. It was a mistake to have such expectations with civilized people and others if you were to use fire.

――――

The arm of the person part of Centaur is the human arm itself with five fingers.

The foot of the horse part of Centaur is the very leg of the horse that formed the hoof.

Its figure is about six or seven meters and can be said to be just the right size for a wide walk through this cavity. - I mean, the Lord of this cavity is this guy in front of you.

"... here too, a trap"

Stuck his breath, Subaru despairs.

I don't have the means to take it. I turned my hand behind my hips and grabbed the whip pattern, but I don't think I could do anything with it.

And against the breathtaking Subaru, Centaur tilts his eyeless head, growls at his hearing from his mouth, stirring fear.

"- Huh!"

Moments later, Subaru moved to be vain.

Turn yourself on the sand, kick one of the charcoal scraps up rampantly and hit Centaur. The burning carcasses are too light to hit the interior and have no power. But still, you just have to be in restraint. Take the steep slope and return to the upper passage. I will go backwards down a path, but I can't stand it. The problem is I don't know how far this Centaur is going to come after me. It is doubtful how much more appetite there is than burning and killing its prey around like this. Regardless, that thing doesn't necessarily work positively any more than hearing that Warcraft has the nature of instinctively hurting and killing humans. Still, if it's going to be a possibility to look up at all -.

"Kahu -"

That's all I think about, Subaru realizes his body hasn't made it slight.

None of this has reached Subaru, either by kicking up charcoal to restraint, by looking back and attempting to ascend the steep slope, or by reaching for the whip before it.

- Because before that happens, the breath of the Warcraft is burning Subaru.

"- Whoa."

As soon as he reaches understanding, Subaru exclaims at the pain and suffering of his whole body burning. But his throat is burned, he burns out the oxygen in his lungs, and he can't raise his voice or other shards.

When the burnt skin bubbles in an instant and the skin swells and bursts, the body is overflowing with fluid that you have never even seen, and instantly it evaporates and the blood really boils.

――――

I can't turn back, I can't roll around in pain.

I can see my muscles and fat getting burned, melted, and gnawed. The pain went away and Subaru tasted the illusion of drowning in the flames.

Burns, yes, burns. I've seen it somewhere about the depth of the burn.

I heard that there are stages to burns, that going up to three levels leaves scars, and that the skin has to be transplanted. Besides, I also heard that when humans burn 30% of the body's skin, that alone makes it difficult for the skin to breathe, leading to death.

――――

Short hair burns to the ground, and a melted tympanic membrane or cerebral cord flows out of the earlobes. Your lips and gums evaporate and your teeth peel out, eating your tongue and chopping it a thousand times into heat wave suffering. It doesn't matter. I'm already drowning. Burns, this, healing? Even though I'm not sure about my face, wouldn't I suffer from burns and be caught loving? To Emilia, to Beatrice, to Rem.

"- Russ!!

Burning burning, vision burning. Everything burns, it turns red, it turns white.

Blood is rooted and burned by a tremendous fever, eyelids are gone, eye moisture evaporates and clouds, and nothing is visible.

I just heard something. I heard someone calling. I heard the baby cry. Someone comes down beside me. Idiot. What. You said you were going to run. How could you go down here like this already? I don't know what it means to go down or anything. More to the right and to the left than that.

A horse, a man. No. Hot. Melt, burn, sleepy.

Melt, disappear...

"- How long have you been asleep? Come on, Balls."

"Guru!?

Feeling that neither his hands nor feet moved, nor his burnt thoughts collapsed, Subaru was drawn back to reality by a sharp shock.

Suddenly his body wakes up and Subaru wipes the cold sweat on his sandy forehead.

"Oh... eh?

Look around.

Dark, I can't see anything. It evokes fear a few seconds ago.

"Hih."

"... frightened. How frightened are you by the darkness? I'm not a child."

"-"

Unexpectedly glaring at his body, Subaru, who was getting smaller, opened his eyes to the voice.

Illuminating his own face with the lights of Cantera, the ram exhales small. Then, kneeling quietly on the spot, she stroked Subaru's cheek with her hands.

"pathetic face"

"... my face, isn't it melting?

- I've never seen anything but Emilia wandering.

The heat of the palms touching the cheeks is so warm that it is not comparable to that tasted by Subaru.

Subaru therefore understands. Thanks to the feeling of flame and another heat, the situation.

He also said that he 'went back to death' and came back.

And he said that this is another starting point for the second 'death', which he welcomed in the dunes.

The attack of the Labyrinth of the Sand must be challenged with death.

- I felt the cold sand flowing in the sand sea mocking the burnt subaru.
