Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

Chapter Six-21: The Challenge Letter of Monolith

Shaura's welcome words - while knowing that it was meant for a misguided opponent, Subaru eventually decided to accept it without denying it.

I also have Beatrice's advice.

In fact, it would definitely be more convenient for this one to mislead Shaura about Subaru as Frugel. Now even more, if Shaura made it into a battle, it doesn't necessarily mean she won't be kicked in by that overwhelming force.

For once, Subaru will at least have a dull hand in attack than he did in favor. Even if Subaru, inferior in strength, does so, that would be too much as a factor in defeat.

"You don't have to worry, Subaru. If Shaura realizes that Subaru isn't really your teacher, it's not going to be terrible."

That's Emilia's word, apparently, for listening to the conversation behind her.

Emilia, with her silver hair wrapped in three long braids, makes Subaru say confidently as she wraps her fingers around its tip.

"Emilia, I'm glad to hear your heartbeat... but what about that heart?

"I don't know a bit about the rhetoric about that heart, but, Shaura, you're not a good kid. You've helped us, you've helped Subaru, and we can get along normally. Then you don't have to fight, do you?

"... that's right"

Far too optimistic an opinion, but too pessimistic can also be considered a bad enough habit.

Even if Shaura finds out the truth, there is no immediate hostility. Even if the facts are revealed, we just need Shaura to stop the attack at her own discretion. And as much as you can think of that, Emilia's idea that we should get along is not a mistake.

Appeal to emotion, not for the intended purpose, but on the grounds that you don't want to fight.

"You don't really refer to Emilia-sama's pompous thoughts, do you, Balth? This is the 'Sage' watchtower, and the dunes need to be challenged to return as well. There's no harm in being too alert."

"Because that's what Lamb says right away already. You can relax a little..."

"Because as a result of my distractions, I was thrown underground with Master Balus and Anastasia. For a weak ram, that sense of despair is intolerable… as Emilia may not know."

"Hmm, I guess. But surely it could be a heck of a basement around here? I'm kind of in good shape to come to Auguria Dunes and tease you."

In spicy rum, Emilia responds to eagle frying. As a pattern of obedience, Emilia's relationship with Lamb has been pretty good for a year now. No way. Ram's words and actions lack respect for Emilia, but Emilia seems rather happy with the treatment.

Emilia, who should be traumatized by contempt and discrimination, might instead have felt that Ram's words contained no such ill feelings.

"And yet, Emilia, what makes you feel good?

"I wonder if the air suits my skin. Mana, too, can be a little different in color depending on the country and region, so I think that's what I'm talking about... Mana around here seems especially suited to my skin. Maybe not very happy."

"Well, you are. This is no place where a witch full of warcraft is sealed."

Emilia grips her fist all the time, but laughs quickly with pity in her face. While sympathizing with Emilia's feelings like that, I'm sure it's also a powerful opinion.

As mentioned, I honestly appreciate Emilia's growing power in this zone, which is indispensable for witches and dangers to the Warcraft. Still, the figure of defeat to Shaura is engraved in the back of Subaru's brain, so it's not an optimistic factor.

"But the terms are different. Unlike the situation where we were able to attack unilaterally from the tower, if we were to see each other's faces, Emilia, we wouldn't lose."

"What's ssss? What's ssss?

"No, you're a good mess. Talk to me. Wow, you were just about to throw an attack at us from the tower, right? How does that work?

"Oh, I'm just saying that, uh, I can mana connect the needle with the aim and be drawn there. Hells Snipe is your master's idea, isn't he?

"... well, you planted something extra, Frugel"

I got a terrible look at it because of it. You won't get a chance to talk to Frugel, but if you get a chance like the Tea Party, I just want you to be fully cursed.

That's how he hears the upbeat Shaura's nose and Subaru sighs.

Then...

"Sorry we're having a chat, but we're at our destination."

"Oh?"

The spiral staircase leading up to the top floor of the tower - the voice of Julius, who was at the beginning of a line up it.

As I pull Anastasia's hand and raise my face to the words of the knight I was escorting, I see the ceiling at some point beyond Julius standing diagonally.

"No, you mean the floor part upstairs, not the ceiling"

"I wonder if that would mean five layers of 'Keraeno'. The entrance to and exit from the outside is just here, and Betty and the others came in from here at first."

I've got five layers up close, and Beatrice beside me puts in such an annotation. The more that word, and whispering, Subaru immediately said, "Hmm?" I noticed the discomfort.

If Emilia and the others entered the tower from the fifth floor after the division...

"How did Gian and the dragon car get into the bottom floor? Exactly. This staircase isn't big enough for a dragon car, is it?

Spread your hands on the spiral staircase you came through, Subaru confirms the width of the road. The width of the stairs is there, but still to the extent that the two men don't line up with an arm-extended Subaru. In the giant body of a dragon, it may barely pass alone, but it is impossible for the body of a dragon car to pass through.

Regardless, this long staircase must be in itself a journey we shouldn't have done, even if it were possible.

"Actually, the elevator's on, or how does that work? Let's use it that way next time. Health orientation is good, but it's not good to deny civilization too much."

"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.... but it's easy to talk about dragon cars. Shaura lifted it and carried it for me."

"... Purdun?

I think I heard something I shouldn't be listening to, and Subaru asks Emilia back. Emilia frowned at that English reply, but she assumed that she was probably asked to repeat it, "So," she continued.

"Shaura lifted the dragon car and the ground dragon and dropped them down easily."

"No, no, no, no, that's just not good. Dragon cars could be over tons because of their size, right? The ground dragon is also set there..."

Subaru peels at the horrible statement, but none of his entourage denies it. By the way, Shaura swelled her little nose as she bragged her rich breasts.

"As I was told, it was Ah Shh who carried it. Hey, it's easy to win like that. If you leave it at the entrance or exit, the lizard may go crazy because of the rush that pours in from the outside. Just caring. You can compliment me, sweetheart!

"I'm thankful, but I don't know your skinny arm isn't. Such a monstrous man... I don't think Reinhardt can do it."

The best surprise dodgy human in Subaru is Reinhardt without complaining, but is it impossible for him to lift the mass just beyond human limits?

Breaking the world with sword pressure, walking on water, even if you can do it once and for all, you just shoulder the dragon car with one hand -,

"I wonder if I can do that. I'm getting a little nervous. Whether he's human or not."

"Mm-hmm. I'm talking about a different teacher. Jeraseess."

Either way, I understood how the dragon car was transported to the lowest level. In fact, I haven't seen a scene to carry it, so there are few shocks, but I'll take it as a new threat material in the Chaura exaggeration issue.

Now, that's how I spoke to you for a moment, and one line arrives at the fifth floor. As has been pointed out many times, "Keraeno" is a hierarchy where there is an entrance that connects the inside and outside of the tower.

Behind a tower with a cylindrical structure, only one huge door is provided.

Would it be large enough to look up and have a width of nearly ten meters loosely? It's an unnecessarily huge door, but I also wonder how much power there is to open it -.

"Maybe this sounds like it's hard to get in with the test gate method?

"At least it's true that I wasn't even scared where I pushed it. Thanks to Anastasia and your search."

Julius nodded at Subaru, who saw the supermassive door and sighed. Apparently, this door, the weight as it seems, is what holds the challenger back from going.

Shaura, who lightly carries a dragon car in one hand, doesn't have to know, and is open to the usual. So Emilia and Julius couldn't go out and look for Subaru, and it seemed to turn out to be the result.

"But I'm pretty sure there's rattles everywhere."

"I don't think it's because of the strong sand wind, but the sand pours in on the wind. If you take a deep breath, your mouth will look like gravel. I don't like it. Wow."

Anastasia, with her tongue out, grinds down its peachy tongue with her fingers. As she said, Subaru also had a sandy feel in her mouth, and found that the five layers connected with the outside were constantly littered with sand and dust like fine particles.

"The sand in the dunes is distracting. If you look sweetly at it because it's trace, it can erode from the inside of your body. Unless it's for you, we should get through here early."

"Then let's do that. My purpose isn't here, it's four layers of Archione.... the stairs shrivel again."

"Still weak. But don't worry, it's a good one. The staircase between four and five floors is shorter than between six and five floors. If it's not too far away, the servant can go home badly, so I've taken care of that."

"Don't shake it."

In the sand and dust, Shaura runs around with her hands spread out and showers Mary's chops in the back of her head. Side by side like that, a row goes bare through five floors to four stairs.

In a slightly windy, yellowish, smoky vision on the dim, ceiling not so far ahead of you looking up - the opinion that you can see the floor on the upper floor and it's not far seems true.

Thus, towards the four-layer 'Archione', the line continues to walk as we tap each other lightly - eventually reaching the hierarchy of purpose.

Even the four layers are not significantly different from the five layers or the six layers themselves.

The structure of the tower makes it unwavering to be a cylindrical building, and it does not change dramatically in size. - Still, the change in atmosphere is obvious.

First, the size of the floor up the stairs is very different from the lower level.

Compared to the lower layers, the circular floors were much narrower. That, too, should be made with circular walls laid on the inner edge of the circular building, using a different space than the lower level, which has previously been a one-floor.

The spiral staircase from the lower level was in the form of a connection to the center of the four layers, and a number of doors were dotted on the walls surrounding the roundabout, and multiple rooms were found present on the floor.

"This is the four-layer" Archione "that we make our residence. So, your teacher wanted to come." Green Room "is right there."

"Green room......?

When Subaru is bewildered by the unusual four layers of fun, the chaura standing on the floor through the neighborhood shows the door in front in a lofty motion.

The multiple doors present in the four layers are of common sense size, unlike the entrance and exit of the five layers. There seems to be a strange discomfort in the key door itself, although it does not require any special force to open it.

Because, as the alias "Green Room" suggests, the doors are covered in countless green squirrels, like the secrets of a jungle that has been abandoned for hundreds of years.

"What I wanted to come to, is there a Rem and a Patrash here?

"I don't know your name, sss, but there's a girl and a lizard"

"Don't worry. I'm in there because I'm pretty sure it's Lem and that dragon."

To the butting Subaru, Chaura's subtly unreliable testimony. It's the ram that snorts at them like they're little fools, cutting the lead and heading to the green room.

When she reached for the door full of pigeons, she pressed it without hesitation, supposedly made of stone. Even with her thin arms, the door opens to a light slip, freeing the green room.

"You're not coming? Balus."

"... no, me too"

Subaru kicked his anxiety forward to the kind of rum inquiry he would try. Then follow the ram that enters the room first, into the green room with dignity.

However, when Subaru and Ram enter the green room, the door closes immediately as it is. Surprised by that, Subaru looks back behind him.

"Hey, we're split up."

"You don't have to freak out about anything. - I hear there's a limited number of people in this room. Sounds like you don't like the owner of the room."

That's what I say to the anomaly behind me, and Ram just goes on. Subaru scratched his head at the explanation and immediately followed that little back.

The green room did not betray the diversity of its doors, and the indoors were well anointed with large quantities of greens. Pouring plants are stretched endlessly across walls, floors, and ceilings, and from time to time it is necessary to avoid drooping squirrels bending over to hold back the way they go.

And behind such a green dominated space...

"Rem...... and Patrash"

A clutter-free space, slightly present, deep in the green room. There is a green grass that grows and folds, and there is a bed of small flowers everywhere.

On that green and flower-colored bed lay an unchanged sleeping lem.

I don't color my white cheeks and it doesn't make any difference to my sleeping face. A slight breath raises and lowers the chest, but the only proof of life is its life activity except the heat it touches.

Yet I felt so relieved that I could do it and lose my strength.

"Are you sure you're okay..."

"That's why I told you. Or did you think Ram was gonna lie about Rem? What's the point of doing that for?"

"I'm not saying that, but you can't help but feel safe until you see it with your eyes.... Patrash, you're safe and above all."

He smiled bitterly at Ram's words, then Subaru walked further behind Rem, who sleeps in a bed of grass, to Patrash, where he folds his limbs and sits.

This one, too, lies in a green bed, just like Rem, not so different from lying on a well grass laid in a stables. It's just that the distinct difference is...

"... this grass, is it different from normal grass?

――――

Walking over, Patrash rubs his nose against Subaru's palm to make sure he's safe. While graciously accepting Love Dragon's reaction, Subaru twisted Patrash's sleeping green bedside - from which he felt a slightly warm ripple and twisted his neck.

"With the power of the Spirit, it will help to heal faster."

"What spirits... are you there? Where?"

"Don't you know what spiritual people are like? This room is the Spirit itself."

――――

Subaru rushes around the room to Ram's words as he strokes Patrash to do it. The moss of the wall in the bush, the presence of the Spirit, does not appear in its eyes, but for the first time when Ram told me, Subaru was noticed by the density of its overwhelming mana.

Feels like you're in high concentrations of oxygen, where your breathing and flesh are at rest.

Maybe healing mana has a similar effect. Calm down and take a deep breath, I felt like the unhurt Subaru could also benefit from it.

"Somehow, okay. Surely this is a spirit.... I can't talk, can I?

"The spirits here are a mutation... but there's no such thing as an unchanged spirit. Emilia-like the Great Spirit of Emilia-like Beatrice... Special, the Spirit here doesn't have the will. Just trying to heal the wounds and illnesses of the creatures that came in."

"Huh, yeah"

"What's wrong?

"It's no big deal. I just thought you had one of those witches you knew."

Witch, when you heard it, you thought it was bullshit, and Ram rattles his nose and walks over next to Rem. Then, just as the sister watching over her sister is considered, the ram begins to stretch right behind the ram, which is rapidly tied together and knitted up, becoming a green chair to support its body.

"Thank you," Lamb bowed his head to the Spirit's care, leaving his weight in the chair.

"That's amazing."

"At least I'm sure he's the most gentleman of spirits I've ever seen. You should also apprentice Balth a little. this Spirit and the standing of the knight Julius."

"Either way, I don't blame you."

Apprentice, driving both said away from his head, Subaru strokes Patrash. He strokes his head, tickles his neck muscles with his palms, and slowly lowers the resulting head.

"Get some rest. You've helped me again, and I've worked too hard. Sometimes a paid vacation doesn't punish you."

――――

To Subaru's serene words, Patrash circled his body, closed his yellow eyes and fell asleep. They even brought us to the tower to make sure we were safe with each other.

That's enough, Patrash's work is enough.

"Any change in Rem? If healing is a room in the resontation title, there can be interference like that in the current lem..."

"I'm sorry, but you're hopeless. Neither possible nor impossible... there is no progress in the treatment. Nothing that is not a wound or a disease can heal. Sounds like that kind of judgment."

"... I see."

Still, the spirits in the green room seem to spare no effort to keep sleeping lems.

It's a lot of devotion to Lamb watching over Sleeping Lem.

"In the end, you mean nothing's gonna change like this."

"... if you want to change, you have to serve the purpose of coming to the tower."

"The Great Library Playades, is that an exam"

The original aim was to come into contact with the 'wise man' Chaura in the Preades watchtower, borrow his all-knowing and perceived wisdom, and to rescue the victims of 'bulimia' and 'lust' that remain in Rem and Pristella.

But the 'Sage' Chaura of the Preades Surveillance Tower is a mere presence, and in fact there was one strange girl who mistakes Subaru for 'Sage' Frugel. The Preades Surveillance Tower is in fact the Great Library Playades, and Shaura's full knowledge and coveted knowledge say he is in fact sleeping among the countless books stored in that library.

I see, to a large extent, the purpose was thread bending and the end point shifted in an unpredictable direction.

"Touch the knowledge and get Rem back. - That's not a bad idea."

"... yes. Fine."

Turning his shoulders, Ram laid his eyes down on Subaru, who stretched lightly. That being said, she gently holds the sleeping Rem's hand and does not give Subaru a glance.

With one eye on its ram attitude, Subaru pointed to the ceiling and

"I'm going to take the exam up there. What about you?"

"If someone hasn't seen Rem, you'd be anxious to see how much or what? Then Ram will do the job. Originally, I accompanied Roswar until I told him I couldn't do it because I wanted to keep an eye on Rem."

"That's, well, right. I'll leave Lem to you."

"I can only keep an eye on you."

"It makes sense that you're watching over me."

That's what Subaru says to Ram, who rarely despises himself, and sees Rem's sleeping face before he leaves the room. She is in a vanished dream of expression that cannot be called tranquillity or bitterness.

Reach out to the forehead of that forehead and touch it gently to tickle.

"Okay, I'm coming."

――――

No matter, no reply.

Lamb doesn't pinch his mouth seamlessly either because he knows he wasn't told. Satisfied with that, Subaru heads to the exit of the room.

I will also remember to reach for the wall somehow and ask the Spirit to "please Rem and Patrash" while touching its wax.

And when I left the room, I stopped.

"Speaking of which, you said you couldn't leave Rem alone, but now you were empty, right? Why did you come all the way down here?

――――

"No way, you didn't rush to see me when you heard I woke up, did you? If anything happens, let me know..."

"Go with me."

"Huh? No, but if you have something to worry about, you have to tell me."

"Go quickly."

Atmospherically pressured by the intensely gushing temper, Subaru could say nothing more and had no choice but to disperse the green room amazingly.

"I don't generally always know what Ram's thinking, but I'm not particularly sure these days"

"Hmm, I don't think so. Ram, that's something that's surprisingly honest. I think I'm cute trying to hide that honesty."

"Rarely do you speak like an older person... in fact, are you older"

"Yes, I am, because I am your sister. than anyone else on this occasion... was not"

"Huh, Betty's the one who's the sister. I wonder if this is a harsh fact that no one can repaint. You can admire it."

Such conversations arise when we leave the green room and rendezvous with the remaining facial blemishes.

Emilia regrets being deprived of the team's oldest seat, and Beatrice has a satisfactorily thin chest, but to be honest, it's not your sister's attitude either way.

Besides, the conversation about who is the oldest in terms of the status quo is actually very delicate.

"Hmm? Natsuki-kun, what? What, is that what you're trying to say to us?

"Nothing. I'm talking about a lot of faces that don't match their appearance with their real age."

"Really? We're often told that you're younger than your real age. It's a little hard to be happy, but it's insulting to be insulted, so I can do it."

Anastasia laughs with a highly merchant-motivated face, but doesn't know what the real deal is.

Anastasia herself is over twenty years old, and appearance ages are like fourteen or five. But it's not those outside stories that Subaru wanted to point out, it's the problem with the contents of Anastasia. At the moment Anastasia is still being taken over the contents by collar Donna.

If Donna's birth is the same as Beatrice's, then it's not hard to name her the oldest race. I won't say anything extra from Subaru because it's impossible to reveal what I've been hiding so far in such a crappy way.

Besides, there are other leading candidates for the oldest race as far as the status quo is concerned.

"Oh, what's wrong, Master? Ha-ha, now you don't like the smell of grass in the green room, huh? I know, I don't like that room."

"You said you smell eggy from me, too. Am I okay?"

"Your master's smells like habit. Hontos. Now I'm not lying. Shh."

"Ugh."

Sunsung, sniffled away and shrugged away Shaula, Subaru glancing at the upper floor. Remaining in the four layers, the face challenging the exam above is the rest of us who lacked lem and lamb -.

"What about you? Are you coming with me?

"Uh, is that Shis? Hey, I don't need to go out with you, sus, but why would I want to be with you because of this? You can talk but you can't talk or something. I miss you. I've been quiet for hundreds of years, and I don't know what I want to talk about."

I can't even Subaru be just as cold when people say indefinitely with a nostalgic smile. I guess Emilia and Beatrice also remember that loneliness. The feeling toward Chaura has a dark sympathetic color, and I'm not going to actively distract you.

"I like this sister, I think we should be together. Wow."

"If you're going to take the test, it's natural to have an examiner on the spot. You're right to accompany her to see if there's any wrongdoing."

There, in an unexpected fashion, cover fire also enters from Julius and Melille. Then, the majority favored Shaura's companionship.

Subaru sees Anastasia not commenting, in order to unify his will at the end.

Anastasia said to that gaze, "We?" and leaned his neck,

"I don't think it makes sense to just disagree with us hard here, and there's no reason to disagree with you in the first place, and nothing. Unlike yeah? And, ya."

"And?"

"He seems to miss Natsuki-kun so much, or if I take him with me, I might borrow him about the contents of the exam. Yan. By accident, I'll be on our side."

"I'm sorry, but, uh, I have no idea what the exam is about, so that's a betrayal."

"Well, here's what I say in my mouth"

Ha ha, and Anastasia grinned bitterly, and Shaura looked Doya like she was praised.

It's subtle whether Anastasia's reckoning is auspicious or ominous, but for one thing, no one seems to disagree with taking Shaura with them.

I can't deny the slightly inadvertent feeling, but when it comes to anxiety when it comes to letting one walk alone, it's just the difference between keeping hazardous materials at hand or far away.

"Okay. Let's stick together. They can't guess, but expect a commentary."

"They're telling me, little one. Good luck, sss."

"I wonder what you're saying! What were you listening to!

Chaura is bending her lips with a shaken face on a topic that is not supposed to be shaken. Listening to Beatrice's fury, the line is between the green room and the room opposite him - when he opens the door and peeks inside, he meets the stairs to head right up from there.

"Is the spiral staircase over?

"Four layers of" Archione "and three layers of" Tygeta "are connected immediately, sss. Uh, I don't have to go up there for anything, but I rarely do."

"You mean errands?

"Maiden's Secret"

Just cut out the chaura showing off uselessness, and Subaru looks at Julius. They should have already challenged the three layers while Subaru slept.

Expecting something useful to hear, his knight shrugged his shoulders gently.

"Bad where it is expected, but we know very little either. As soon as we go up three levels, we come across a room called the exam…"

"I run into you?

"Existence there is an elusive mystery. I can't even find a clue to solve it, and I'm honest with you that I was on my way."

"An elusive mystery...?

Unguided by Julius' words, Subaru looks over the stairs. The upper floors are dark and you can't get a glimpse of what's going on from below. It's just that its quietness is so creepy fun.

"But it doesn't seem to mean what happens when you come in. Nothing. It doesn't make any difference if we come in or out... it's just that we're paid in advance"

"As long as I'm not even angry with them."

Emilia and Beatrice agree with Julius.

In fact, although I say exams, none of the challenged faces are missing. Somehow, vigilance just sprouted because of the 'trials' in similar words.

"I don't have a choice. If you go into a tiger hole, you don't get a tiger child. - Let's go."

"Yeah, that intent"

"That's what I meant."

"The Intention"

Receiving three affirmations from the three, Subaru takes the initiative and puts his foot on the stairs. Then step by step to the upper floor - unlike previous spiral stairs, the number of stairs up to the third floor is about the height and lowliness of a commonsense building.

Therefore, ready and backed, Subaru enters the three layers of "Taigeta" uncomfortably soon.

"This place..."

As soon as I came in, what Subaru felt was utter discomfort.

Should it be a chunk of discomfort or a space where only discomfort exists?

- It was a white, white place.

It is a strange space with all directions dyed white that welcomed Subaru up the stairs, although it should be definitely on a cylindrical, previous extension of the tower.

The spatial size should be very different from the area of the previous tower, but in a space that is too white, the walls are invisible. If you look up, you don't even know where the ceiling is, and if you look under your feet, only the place with the stairs opens its mouth black and pompous, otherwise the floor is so white that you're afraid to walk.

I get the illusion that I can't recognize the floor as a floor, or that I'm going to fall everywhere as it is. The ceiling and the walls are the same - in this place, if I lost sight of the stairs leading downstairs, Subaru felt I might be freaking out.

And the front of such a white space - in front of the stairs, there is a strange object that floats.

"Stone Plate...?

That's what it's like to see that object and leak it out of Subaru's mouth.

It was, in fact, an object that could only be described as so.

One black plate cut made of square, once done and smooth textured objects.

It can't be called a stone slab unless it's made of stone, but it's also different from metal. There's no other way to call it that.

If you dare to call it another conceited way, something like 'monolith'?

The unspeakable monolith gets a strange buoyancy and floats dozens of centimeters from the floor.

It's floating, it should. My eyes drive me crazy to see the high and low difference in the whiteness of the floor, and I don't know that for sure either. But the monolith floating in the universe was there as a tattoo.

The size was as big as Subaru's height, and the horizontal width was like a person lined up for two - a tatami floating, analogous to something close in size.

"What is this strange substance?

"That's like a device that puts a mystery in here, if you ask me."

Arranged in Subaru, which is deprived of consciousness by a different sight, Julius stares at the monolith.

Julius's side is slightly tougher than usual to see if that monolith has already made him lick his spicy acid many times. All the other faces rise to the three layers and lean against the ambiguous atmosphere in the white space.

"I don't want to stay long. It's a room."

"I agree. If you stay long, you may lose your sense of equilibrium. Running into the stairs and slipping your legs will reduce the lifespan of the side you're looking at."

"Here, Julius. I'm not saying anything extra."

In Julius' light mouth, Anastasia swells her cheeks uncomfortably. To see how it went, apparently it was she who slipped her legs on her way back.

But I don't feel like laughing at that failure. In fact, this room is clearly made for the purpose of driving the human senses crazy. It's like a room embodied by the evil character of a human being who made it.

"So what about the key mystery?

"Um, you just have to touch the board. Then maybe it'll start."

"Should I touch the monolith?"

"Monolith, huh? A strange and familiar way to call it. Let's call it that later."

Abandon Julius, who is impressed with the weird part, Subaru steps forward on his behalf. Nobody stops you, so stay by the monolith.

Come closer, the monolith is releasing a strange sense of intimidation - not that it's a plain board everywhere except floating. If I think the tatami is floating, I feel that the fear I felt at first also fades somewhat.

"Whatever, I'll touch it? Count?"

"Oh, well, I want to say it. Three, two, one..."

"Fast, fast! Okay, but!

Subaru's call begins counting down Emilia, who raised her hand and ran for office. To suit it, Subaru rushed back to Monolith.

And

"Zero -!"

Matching that count, Subaru touches the monolith - at the next moment, the surface of the black plate shines from the inside, and the view in front of Subaru flickers as soon as possible.

No, I didn't get bumped.

Subaru's touched monolith began to grow as it glowed black.

Monolith ejects one replicated monolith after the other from its rear while shining the surface. It flies around the room at tremendous speeds, dots in irregular positions and floats.

Countless monoliths were placed everywhere in the white space, and Subaru was distracted by the change. And then the flattering subaru tympanic membrane - through which a voice echoes directly into the brain.

"- Be destroyed by Chaura, and touch the most glorious of his heroes."

"-!?

Subaru unexpectedly releases his hand from the monolith to that voice that sounded abrupt. And when I lagged back with the flirtatious, I was supported from behind that back by someone.

Looking back. Then there was Julius' face.

He touched his forehead with his left hand as he supported Subaru with his right hand.

"What do you think? Our first surprise, did you get empathy?

"I'm not doing anything mean -!!"

Subaru's voice of protest resonates and will play an additional role in Julius' smile.

All in all, the 'exam' started in earnest.

Grand Library Playades, third tier 'Tigeta' exam.

Limit time 'unlimited'. Unlimited number of challenges. Challenger 'Unlimited'.

- Exam, start.
