Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

Left behind by countless feathers, the abyss descends on the balcony at night.

The cropped birds spread their feathers fearlessly as they flew into the night sky with poor vision.

That's as if to say that falling into the skies without stops is easier than staying on the spot.

Assuming that's true, Subaru completely agrees - so much so that this situation of breathlessness was unexpected and equal to the worst of occasions.

――――

The place is a surveillance tower, a hidden night balcony.

Julius, standing blocking its entrance, carves confusion on the terminal surface and stiffens his cheeks. At the end of his gaze, Subaru and Echidna, who were having a secret conversation at night - for him, Anastasia, those two figures are reflected.

"- What's the story now?

A space of tension, without a word in it, Julius repeated his words.

The last minute, spilled, doesn't change the content, but the voice has a slight power back. That sadly proved Julius' core strength.

- From where, were you listening?

――――

In response to Julius' inquiry, Subaru forcefully moves the thoughts that have come to a halt and arrives at the problem. Where you were listening from, that's what counts.

The content of the conversation with Anastasia-Echidona, which had been exchanged until just a moment ago, could never be allowed to be heard without mindfulness. In the first place, the secrets we share between Subaru and Echidna are too deep-rooted in this surveillance tower attack.

It extends to the Artificial Spirit, the Witch of Greed, the Power of Rapture and various factors.

When Subaru concealed from Julius the circumstances born in conformity with them, he decided that talking would only create confusion and suffering.

That very thing was the fact that the spirit of Anastasia fell asleep and now it is the demographic spirit Echidna that dwells in her body.

That 's--

"- Ah, no more, Natsuki, with such a visible attitude."

"... ah?

Stiff Subaru, lightly fingered on its chest, Echidna smiles hard.

Its tone and attitude, its modus operandi, were entirely anastasian traces, and for a moment Subaru was distracted with his eyes round what had happened.

To leave Subaru like that, Echidna twirls around on the spot like she dances,

"I'm sorry, Julius. But it's not like I was trying to stay out of it. We were just talking to Natsuki-kun after we got back from this Preades watchtower."

――――

"Did you leave the green room with Mr. Lem and the dragon child? Nothing. I don't have to worry about leaking the story, but what's so weird about not telling a story where someone's in the mood? Then I changed places...... I happened to find this place suitable for you. That's all."

hands together in front of his chest, and Echidna said, "Are you impatient?" and lean his little neck.

The trick was pathetic and seemed like something Anastasia was going to do. But the deception of the key story is at an unlikely low level in Anastasia.

It's as if only the upper part of the word was shaped to take care of what was seen as an inconvenient occasion - in fact, it may not even be 'as if'.

It should be the same for Echidna who did not want this situation and was struck by surprise. Only a few of her were able to take action quicker than Subaru.

And it's...

- Dear Anastasia, you're not.

――――

"Echidna, I want you to tell me what's going on with you. You shouldn't be so bad as trying to hide it from me."

Across a slight patrol, Julius questioned Echidna from the front. To that word, Echidna said, "I don't know..." and showed an attitude of objection only for a moment,

"Echidna"

Again, Julius called me to shut my mouth. As it is, she turns Anastasia's face to Subaru, shaking her shallow eyes into unspeakable emotions.

But the art of recovering from here doesn't even occur to Subaru.

"Julius, where were you hearing that from?

"... from Anastasia-sama's body"

Upon Subaru's inquiry, Julius responded with a voice that pushed him to death.

That part alone is enough, emotionally disturbing and natural. Still, Julius should have just said that he could keep calm, at least on the surface.

Or maybe it's not where you jump across boundaries and become emotional.

"- Fighting witchcraft in Pristella, since then, Anna's spirit has been sleeping deep inside her body. For that reason, it's not Anna who's moving her body right now. With me playing Anna, I've been spending a long time to this day."

I guess Echidna also thought that if we got this far, we wouldn't be deluded.

Pale, without prejudging, he began to explain in a tone that just lined up the facts.

The attack on witchcraft in Pristella, in the midst of which Echidna came to a confrontation with witchcraft in place of Anastasia - and then the fact that the spirit of Anastasia does not wake up.

That he also hid that in the face of Julius, Ricard and "Iron Fang," and went for the Preades Surveillance Tower in search of a means to return.

- And that only Subaru shared those facts with Echidna.

"Why is Subaru the only one sharing that information?

"He was not influenced by the powers of the Bishop of the Great Crimes, nor was he the person who was outside the most turmoil of circumstances. He is also a spiritual magician who made a pact with me, the artificial spirit, and Beatrice, who likens his roots. I didn't even think about it from the beginning. Just..."

"-. Just?"

"It's just... he found out I was playing Anna, so I had to talk to him."

Only Subaru ran a strong upset in Julius' eyes at the explanation of how he knew that Echidna lived in Anastasia's flesh.

Echidna's stuck in words is nothing more than anticipation of that upset.

Naturally, Subaru noticed Echidna's acting...

"You mean the man who entrusts himself with a knight didn't realize that he was supposed to notice the unrelated, external person..."

"Wait, idiot! You, you have no way of saying that!

――――

"The situation... it was a bad situation! There was such a big incident, and you were stuffed with cuts! You're not the only one, Ricardo, even the Mimi, are you? What I noticed was... something, anyway, just so happens!

Hanging on to Julius's self-derisive remarks, Subaru managed to stop his verbal act of self-harm. But I can't find words to comfort Julius, who mocks herself so much when the words she deserves fail to perform her duties as a single knight.

But in fact, what could Julius have done? Is it in a position to be blamed?

I can tell you why he stood, crumbling like a sand mountain, many other things he has lived and piled up as a knight, from his loyal master, from his companions who vowed to set him up together, and from his long time as a knight.

I want you to be resolute. Be it graceful. How can you say that like a knight?

If being a knight is an unacceptable way of life to even scratch like a human being, then being a knight is the curse for Julius Euclius.

"Well, it's a knight's duty to elevate coincidences to certainty at all times."

"- Huh! What, a knight... then such a cumbersome title..."

"Throw it away, don't tell me, etc. I... now I'm horrified to even take one thing away from me"

It is easily played before Julius' dedicated chivalry, such as the comfort of Subaru's impetus. Julius shook her neck sideways at Subaru, stuck in her throat at at disputed emotions and unable to say anything.

"Let's get back to it. - Echidna, what's your purpose?

"... to return this flesh to Anna. The reason I led you to the Preades Tower was to give it priority over the devastation of" bulimia "and" lust. "

"I mean, he said the status quo is an unwanted thing for you, too. And I haven't found the art of undoing Master Anastasia. … even if I slaughter you"

With his hands on the knight's sword at his waist, Julius narrowed his eyes and threw a swordswallowing inquiry.

Take it, and Echidna lays down her eyes, gently touching her own chest,

"I'm a bad spirit, and I'm trying to take over Ana's flesh for a reason... and I can't give proof to refute that guess. So, assuming you're lying to me, you can't stop trying to wipe me out."

Just, and cut the word there, Echidna keeps putting aside a beat.

"Perhaps in that case, if the un-conscious Anna's loose shell is left behind, your word… in the worst case, it can interfere with the maintenance of life and also cause loss of life"

Echidna expressed her feelings about Julius' hypothesis, the opinion of slashing Echidna. After stating so, she lifted her hands gently,

"Whatever this is, it could be some bullshit I said in distress about sparing my life. I can't say for sure that my death is not the solution. If Anna can live longer with me dying, I still feel like I don't mind. I don't want to die."

"How can you get that far for Master Anastasia?

"It's an incomplete relationship between me and Anna. So it may not be right to apply it to the general Spirit and the way the Spiritualist..."

So he cut the words once, and Echidna looked at Julius, and Subaru, alternately.

Shaped differently, as a spiritual magician, so as to envy the two who were rightly in a contractual relationship with the Spirit.

"I like Anna. Ever since this kid was just a kid, he's been beside me. So I don't want to abandon you, and I want you to be happy. - That's why I'm here."

――――

"Julius, I didn't reveal the facts to you because I didn't want to cause any extra confusion. Anna thought she could hide my existence, if possible, and the fact is, she couldn't hide me until she had a piece of Pristella. Thanks to that sweet girl."

Even Pristella, Julius should have been quite shocked when Anastasia published about the echidna she'd been hiding.

I don't know how many storms were blowing in his chest at that time, Subaru prioritizing Emilia's recapture.

However, in a short span of time the Lord's hiding - and how unwillingly for Julius to have revealed any number of secrets involved in Anastasia's own root - was not supposed to be revealed?

"... Dear Anastasia, I understand your relationship. It's hard to believe everything out. But I just have to believe it. At least now it's frivolous to do this to you."

"Right. I'm glad you judged me rationally, Julius. Anna would be happy to do the same."

――――

Releasing his hand from the pattern of the knight's sword, Julius did not respond to Echidona's words and kept silent.

But that was far from satisfactory, it must have left a feeling of frustration. But Julius drove that carelessness away with only a blink,

"I want to confirm. If you continue to manifest yourself in consideration of Anastasia's odds... naturally, the more you can't do it, the more you will be burdened with Anastasia's body. That's for sure."

"Right. You're right about that recognition. Eat well, sleep well, move your body reasonably well… it's a health-oriented method, but that's just the right way to reduce odd consumption"

"Well, then... why did you do such a lame imitation on two levels?

Julius accidentally cut into the mood for Echidna, who regained her feelings just a little bit and exchanged a light-hearted tone.

The content of it is a two-tiered event, naturally what he points out as impotent -,

"Lady Anastasia, a two-tier examiner, in the midst of my battle with Laid Astrea... you have exercised your magic and entered into support"

Of Julius and Reid, during the first clash.

Before Reid, who boasted an overwhelming sword power, Echidna used immense magic to unleash magic toward Reid when Julius was defeated without the art of exchange.

Instead of being a decision maker, on the contrary, the loaded Anastasian body took its limits and came into a coma, but the problem is not the result.

Why did you do it? That's one thing.

"The burden that that act placed on Anastasia's body should never be lighter. We've been talking so far, and only that act is different from what you claim. Why is that?

"It's..."

The fact Julius pointed out was that Subaru was also concerned.

On that occasion, Echidna took action with the expression of death for Julius to be defeated. It didn't seem like there was a lie there or an intention.

There must have been, pure worry. That is possible for Echidna to point at Julius if she spent a long time with Anastasia - is that all?

But those Subaru questions, and Echidna "sorry" for Julius' words, broke her hips deeply on the spot,

"That, I feel, was a failure, too. Somehow, it was amateur and embarrassing, but it was a strategic decision."

"Strategic judgment?

"At that point, I didn't know if there was any intention to kill a two-tier examiner. If we were bad, we could have lost the power of Julius. I wanted to avoid that. Whatever, for Anna's sake. Besides, Reid Astrea turning his back on this one... it was also a good opportunity for my eyes. It didn't work, but it annoyed me."

I'm sorry, I just added one last time, and Echidna woke up slowly.

There is no contradiction in that explanation. If an amateur judgment told me that he had acted in a far-fetched manner, there was no basis in Subaru to deny it. Except for the emotional ones.

Is such a story easy to accept?

But before Subaru could pursue that point,

"- Okay. In the future, I would like you to take it lightly. Nothing else, for Master Anastasia."

"I got it."

"Become!?

Okay, Julius, who makes a convincing bare gesture, nodded back at it, Echidna. I peeled my eyes at the interaction between the two of them, and Subaru kicked the floor saying it wasn't a joke.

"Why are you so convinced..."

"Subaru, I was convinced. Echidna also promised to be cautious in the future. What more can I say? - This is about Anastasia and Echidna, and it's about me and Anastasia."

――――

"I'm sorry I seem to have involved you from a strange mistake. But this is only our problem, Anastasia-like faction. It's not about you breaking my heart."

Julius trying to stay away from the problem, Subaru bit his back teeth in the words.

Subaru is not heartbreaking, etc.

"I don't care what I take!

"And you took it, and you told me not to take my problems?... like I didn't tell you about Anastasia and Echidna"

"-"

"I'm sorry. Words have passed. … but it's true"

With a voice like a push to death, Julius, out of sight, said away.

Seeing the voice, the stubborn attitude, Subaru finally realizes.

Julius didn't stay calm at all.

Instead of the rough pattern in his chest, he has not been able to even repair it on the surface.

Let him lose sight of his existence, and the only thing that showed in the results was that his loyalty to his lord, who was supposed to have remained, was also deceived, and the promises he was supposed to have been told in consideration were broken.

Still not being emotional was the way a man named Julius was.

"I'm not going to say it to you. For Anastasia's sake, we need to find a way to clear things up as soon as possible. Echidna, I want you to cooperate fully, too."

"... right. There's no better reason for me to keep playing Anna than I couldn't hide it from you. Of course, if you can tolerate me talking like Anna,"

"I don't mind that. If we have to get Master Anastasia back, we will admonish ourselves stronger by seeing what it looks like"

I was prepared to hurt myself badly and harshly, and Echidna looked sad at the will. But Julius, looking up into the sky, had not seen his face.

For the first time there, he narrows his eyes softly to the light of the brilliant stars as he realizes he is not distracted by the night sky seen from the balcony.

"There is no longer a reason to stay long. Let's go back inside. About Anastasia's body and Echidna tomorrow… again, we need to talk to Emilia and the others"

"Oh, I get it. I'll be ready, too."

That said, Julius gently takes the hand of Echidona, who walked out. I'm sure that's no different than what he does to Anastasia.

Whatever the contents, your loyalty to Anastasia remains the same. - Even if she sleeps in the depths of her body, forgetting about that Julius.

"Julius!"

Feeling something painful about his appearance, Subaru was speaking out loud.

I'm left behind by memories, but only in me is the other person, and I'm desperate to rely only on that thought to scratch my feet - the more painfully I know how it is.

Even if it is forgotten, it cannot be forgotten. Sometimes the thought is the only thing that moves.

――――

Julius, who stopped his leg, does not look back with Echidna.

a slightly straight stretched spine, straight no matter how heartbroken, which is asexually angry,

"Do you have something to say to me?"

I kept my mouth shut about Echidna, about Anastasia's body.

Even this night, he promised to take turns spending time in the green room, and yet Subaru, contrary to that promise, was thus secretly talking to Echidna on the balcony.

I can make excuses. For a reason. Maliciously, I didn't do that.

Still, with or without malice, with or without reason, with or without excuses, the mind will not be free.

So first, all you have to do is yell out loud. You can curse, bump your anger.

I don't know if that's for Subaru's own guilt, or if it's really a thought for Julius.

And I'm sure Julius won't do it.

Absurd your voice, spit out resentment...,

- Yes, I do.

――――

"I know. I know what you were thinking and hiding the facts from me. There can't be any malice. All I have is consideration and care. I agree with your concerns. Even if I were in the opposite position, I would still have kept my mouth shut to you."

――――

"- But still."

Look up in the sky. As squeezed out, my voice.

"I didn't want Anastasia or you to think I didn't have enough knights."

I didn't need any special steps to get back inside the tower.

Dive into a hidden passage lower than your hips and slowly return into the tower, just as you did when you left for the balcony. On his knees and crawling through the floor, he thought without benefit, heh, did Julius crawl out through here the same way?

I don't remember Subaru being raw hated and whether he was crawling back first.

Because Julius was beaten down by the words of the last minute and was a little grumpy.

――――

I honestly thought they wouldn't say anything. - No, it's not.

Julius probably took the liberty of assuming that he would hit Subaru with a scolding and not make it easier or anything. That place is swallowed with serenity, without his virtue allowing it, and without anger or resentment being thrown at him.

But it didn't.

The last word Julius leaves behind, which becomes thorn and pierces the heart.

I thought it would be easier if they said a grudge. I didn't want to get any easier, but he said it was better than nothing.

But reality was not. Julius' leftover thorn claims pain, and blood continues to flow from the wound as it protrudes. So hesitant to pull out the thorns, so deep.

"I can't go back to the green room, can I?"

Perhaps Julius with Echidona escorted her to the green room. I don't even think he'll come down looking for a bunk after that, even the dragon car he left on the lower level.

Even Julius has no face to match Subaru, as Subaru does.

A deep-rooted problem - it can also be said that it took root because Subaru misjudged it, but this is no longer a matter of cleaning up overnight. If we don't at least take the time and open up as much time as we can calmly discuss it, we'll never be on our way to a resolution.

With that in mind, I felt comfortable going back to the dragon car with my congratulations. I somehow blamed Julius for wandering into the futon when he was soaked, even though I knew he wasn't coming back.

Or so no one will accompany Subaru's inner exudation at this late hour.

Neither Sleeping Rem nor Subaru's strong Patrash are in the Green Room, so they stay away from each other for fear of batting Echidna or Julius.

Wagamama was also past waking up Emilia and Beatrice and asking them to listen.

So Subaru has no place...

"-Balth?"

To that voice, Subaru slightly rang his throat and stopped his leg. Looking back with surprise, it was the peach-haired girl, Lamb, who made a shoe sound on the stone floor and showed herself.

Ram glanced slightly at the thin red eyes, looking from top to bottom at Subaru's condition,

"That's a lot of pungent face. [incomprehensible]

"... it's sudden to see you. I mean, what's Ram doing at this hour?

"I'll give it back exactly as it is.... Even so, I can imagine Balls doing this all the time."

Coming right up to the front, Subaru stiffens his cheeks to the words of a ram holding his elbow.

I can imagine what happened, Subaru clouding his expression when he said. Lamb shrugged his shoulder to such a subaru,

"Anyway, you were spilling an irresistible stupidity to let Rem hear it again, weren't you? No matter how cute and tolerant Ram's sister is, stop pushing all the challenges you can't."

"... oh, that way. Well, you are."

――

He opened his eyes lightly to rum-like narratives, and then Subaru grinned bitterly.

I wasn't told the inside, it's a word from Subaru's daily behavioral predictions. Indeed, Ram is right, Subaru often spends the night beside Rem from time to time.

In fact, that's what I was doing tonight. On the way home, it's only natural for Ram to take it.

But that's not all today...

"Stop looking pathetic"

"Ahhh."

"With a pungent face, a pitiful face, even a lowly man will fall back. If that's the case, I doubt Emilia's character as a knight of Balth. Change it."

I got my finger bounced off my bowing forehead by a ram.

Subaru tears at its power, but complains about the appearance of a rum that sounds bored. On the contrary, you have yourself a relief.

"... I don't know, really, you're my sister."

"Ha. Stop feeling creepy."

To Subaru's comment as he stroked his forehead, Ram looked sincerely disgusted. I feel sorry for myself to be saved by that attitude.

It's not like you're listening to me, or trying to figure out what happened in person.

"Ram, what have you been doing all this time?

"Nasty."

"Don't try to finish the story with no time. I know it's a little tricky..."

She shrugged her shoulders to an attitude that didn't even have an island to attach to, and Subaru took a lighter breath, looking behind the ram - into the aisle of those she walked over.

There are four layers that are quite large, but there are no notable facilities for this either. There is a green room and a lot of luggage carried from the dragon car. And -,

"... stairs to two floors, huh?

――――

"No way, I guess you were up there. Alone."

"Don't worry. It's not that reckless. Even though I didn't see it with these eyes, I'm not even complacent enough to think I could do something about Reid Astrea by myself."

To Subaru, who bent his lips to an unpleasant imagination, Ram denied his suspicions as if laughing with his nose.

In the process, I could see a subtle and indelible reference to Julius' arbitrariness, but touching it there now hurts thorns even for Subaru himself.

"Yes, something happened with Knight Julius. A fight?"

"Am I that easy to understand?

"The balus is easy to understand and the ram is too smart. Don't worry, the latter's specific gravity is bigger.... No, I knew you'd mind the former too. 'Cause when you're tortured, they'll know you're inside soon."

"I'm too afraid to assume that tortured pattern."

I twist my cheeks and squirm, and Ram just narrows his eyes to the corresponding Subaru. Svalbard shudders when he tells me that he is not joking.

Indeed, from Subaru's point of view, there is no possibility that a man hostile to the king's race or Emilia would work such a violent mess. I'll keep it in mind.

"Then why are you here?"

"- I'm not going up to two levels. I was just trying to get up."

"... you said it wasn't reckless. No way, let's hit the bedtime?

I don't hate Subaru either if it's an attitude of going to win without choosing the means. It would have been understandable if Lamb had snuck for the time Laid was sleeping to do so.

The question is, will Reid sleep, which seems like a reproduction from past records, and can he do something about it even if he was asleep in the first place?

"I'm sorry, but you can't attack sleep. I turned back in the middle of the stairs. About that, that's a substandard monster. You look so cute in your garf."

"Garfiel after nostalgia is always cute..."

"It's not about behavior, it's about danger."

That had not become a denial of a part of her behavior that was cute, but she did not touch it because she was in the middle of an important story, and Subaru frowned.

"I'm sure of it. If you stop choosing the means, you'll just stop choosing the means over there. After all, as we discussed, we need to satisfy ourselves to such an extent that we don't take offense seriously."

"... that's all for sure, did you go out of your way to two levels by yourself?

"Don't make me say it again and again. I haven't gone up to two levels. Something too harsh for the Rams right now."

Acknowledging a pure lack of power, Ram admonishes that preparation is crucial to the challenge to the two layers. When they told me I needed to take the time, my earlier interactions with Echidna and Julius came back, and as Subaru, I had to put on a difficult face.

"Balus?"

"No, it's nothing.... It's nothing, but for now. Maybe tomorrow we'll have to talk properly."

"I don't even know what to say."

"I can't believe you pulled all that, but I don't think you're talking to me. I can't take it back."

Still enough, it's a suspicious crack if it's repairable. I don't want to further wedge in there and imitate it to spread the crack.

Ram wouldn't have convinced such a weak-hearted Subaru to pull back.

"Either way, it will take time for a two-tier... Reid's offense. At least I wish I knew Shaura would do a little more for me."

"Well, it's true he couldn't guess, but don't tell him much. If he hadn't helped us in the first place, we'd all be black burnt under the sand."

In the first place, the lack of chaura did not lead us to a two-tier 'test'. With that in mind, I don't think I could close my eyes on her disappointing sage since she walked into the tower.

With the exam officer's hand, I'm going to break through the exam, which is so much more exceptional.

"Even with all the beautiful things lined up, you're sure to get stuck somewhere."

"Even I don't think that everything is right, clean and white. Case-by-case...... this time, it just doesn't hit it in particular"

"It's easy.... Lamb can't stand that long."

Spilling dissatisfied with Subaru's answer, Lamb shrugged his shoulders as he did. And when she slowly turned her back,

"It's time to go to bed. I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm going back to the dragon car."

"Uh, yeah. Well, I..."

Explain why it is difficult to return, and it is difficult to do so too. I just looked back at my neck only to Subaru, who clouded his words that way, and Ram spilled a small exhale.

"Do as you please. If you ever pull a leg because of a lack of sleep, I'll screw it off."

"Oh, bad... what do you mean, screw it off!?

I'll leave it to your imagination.

Wave with a flicker and your feet toward the stairs where the ram descends to the lower level. Is it her own concern not to touch what she doesn't want to touch and to leave the recovery to self-help efforts?

On such a distant thin back, Svalbard raised his hand knowing he could not see.

"Sister, rest. See you tomorrow."

"... Lamb is not Balth's sister. Don't call me that."

I haven't had the power to say no lately, and just admit it in disintegration is a resistance to refuse.

Leaving those words behind, when he couldn't see Ram, Subaru rattled his neck bone and murmured, "Come on, what's wrong?"

I can't go back to the dragon car. It's also hard to get to the green room. In that case, I need a place where I can rest or be meaningful until morning.

"If I'm just going to sleep, I'm fine in the right room..."

The easiest way to get up to a candidate is in a room with luggage.

It is a room where loads of dragon cars, ingredients, etc. have been brought in, but there will be some that will be pillows. Unless it's the neck that might hurt your body a little on a hard floor, and about that, you're talking about sleeping in a dragon car.

And then...

"Think about a two-tier offense, Reid's offense"

Honestly, this is not the most constructive decision.

Many of the current problems go to a solution by attacking this watchtower. Nor can that be said to be certain, but it must be a major element in making the situation better.

Reid's offense, as we all discussed during the evening, is quite outrageous content: finding a means to satisfy him for real, without making him serious.

At the very least, if there's any chance of reducing that about-

- That's right.

And that's all I thought about, Subaru rang his fingers.

Subaru's toe-facing tip is bashed in the idea of electrically passing the back of his brain on the fence.

"If this works..."

Even if it can't be said for sure, it should be a hand in making the situation go a long way.

Distracted by the thought, Subaru rushes for the place.

- On the surveillance tower at night, only the deviant Subaru shoe sounds high.

- Only the sole, only the sound of shoes.

- The feeling of awakening is close to the moment when you face the water from underwater.

Pull up the unconscious sinking body of dreams and circle reality all over your body in the form of breathing. That slowly revives consciousness, cracks the water, and is born out.

Sleep is death, awakening is birth - if you want to, you might be able to say that.

Together, with such poetic emotions at the margin, consciousness gradually goes to awakening-,

"- Subaru! Hey, Subaru, are you okay?

"What, wow!?

The moment I opened my eyes, I was amazed by the beauty that was right around the corner, and Subaru rolled over to the side.

And, as soon as he rolls, the ground disappears, dropping a short distance as it is, hitting him on the shoulder.

"Ngah!

"Yikes! Subaru, are you okay!? Why did you roll so suddenly?!?

"Yes, no, I didn't suddenly decide voluntarily to roll either..."

I rub my bumped shoulder and wake up slowly, shaking my head gently. Then blinked his eyes, Subaru bewildered.

That was a green room.

Throughout the room, the overgrown bamboo is covered to curl, and the walls are completely hidden. Assuming they told me it was a room made of scissors, it was a room with a flighty appearance.

And Subaru apparently, in the middle of that room, slept in a bed knitted with a tweezer. From there, roll down and analyze the current situation.

Subaru to make such a calm decision, but there was a reason for that.

"Mm, I don't think I hit it hard anywhere. Really good. But I was so worried, don't be too surprised."

"Emilia, wouldn't Subaru reflect on that way of putting it? If I don't tell you harder, Betty's worries won't get through to Subaru."

"Right. See, this is what Beatrice says, isn't it? I panicked that I didn't see Subaru, and I almost cried when I found him falling..."

"Maybe I don't even have to say what I don't have to say!

Immediately in front of me, there is a cont-like interaction going on.

Subaru looked back as he nodded yeah to that smiling exchange. Just behind Subaru sitting on the ground, signs of some giant creature.

――――

That's a big lizard. Large lizards as big as horses, with black scaly skin. I'm snuggling up to Subaru and rubbing my nose tip against my neck.

Much nostalgic, Subaru gently stroked the lizard's head.

And sigh.

"I mean, this is the one"

Calmly, calmly, slowly, he exhaled his words with his breath.

Two girls in the front tilt their necks at such a Subaru appearance.

- Subaru?

And, breathing in like sisters, they both called Subaru's name at the same time.

There's a silver-haired girl so beautiful that her eyes are about to crush, and a toddler in a dress as poor as a fairy.

Silver-haired girl and a room made of vertical rolled toddlers, huge lizards, and bamboo...
