Chapter Six-42: The Tower of the Dead

Natsuki Subaru slowly steps up the stairs, up the stairs.

Knife in one hand, hatred in his chest, madness in his eyes, walking up.

"I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill you. Absolutely, kill me, I will..."

A whisper like a whisper is an endless curse.

If power resides in the Spirit, many of the curses that are thrown out will hold back Subaru's deeds.

When I killed him, every time I made it one clear word, I thought I had more power to live in a knife.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill..."

Whimpering, my moving vision sometimes blurs.

I guess I have the hard work and the tiredness of crawling around the desert basement for hours. There was a moment when his head felt weird and Subaru shook his neck sideways many times.

Not if you're falling down here right now.

This place is an environment where all the dangerous people for Subaru are treading. An environment where you don't even know who's on your side and who's the enemy. It's no longer the same with the enemy's nest.

You have to kill to protect yourself.

If we don't, they'll come and kill Subaru better.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill..."

I don't want to kill you, I have to.

If, hypothetically, the word 'kill' in Subaru's mouth is an error, provided that the Spirit uses the word correctly.

If it truly reflects Subaru's mood, the word he deserves in this case is not 'kill'.

- I don't want to die, it's more accurate.

So the first thing you do is kill the guy who shows up in front of you, and you decide to do it.

Natsuki Subaru reaches four layers.

And I saw that.

"- Yes."

My breath leaked.

Make a tall noise and the knife in your hand falls on a hard floor. My fingers are tense and I can't move. Just loosened up and shook his neck sideways, Subaru lagging behind.

The overflowing blood odor and traces of intense battle that will freeze you too.

Subaru stands up in a space where stone walls and floors are crushed, cracked, and the aftermath of such destruction can only seem to have ravaged around some mighty being.

As I stood up, I saw it.

- A crushed head of chaura was lying on the floor looking unbroken.

Shaura's remains were so miserable that she wanted to cover her eyes.

The long dark hair that was put together is flaky and spread to fill the floor. My hands and feet are thrown out without force, but my arms are severed by my elbow and wrist, and I can't see where I'm going.

White, healthy skin was engraved with countless lacerations and a tremendous amount of blood scattered around it. The traces of that blood, apart from this place, which became her termination, also followed behind the aisle, proving that the battle lasted a long time and many times after changing places.

And it was probably the last blow to take a life, a trauma to the head - a wound is too lifeless in words. It's a deadly hole that ravages lives.

Should I say that I shook down a big hammer on the head of the person I slept with?

I can't think of anything else but a barbaric way to smash my head, disperse it, and punch its contents all around me. Something, a terribly huge shock, is smashing its head.

Shaura's head crushed and extinguished.

For a short time, it was remembered that she had unhesitatingly packed the distance and turned a blushing grin -

"- Bu."

Svalbard kneels on the spot, staring at the wreckage, stunned, quietly.

And he threw out the contents of his stomach all at once on the floor, feeling overwhelmed with vomiting. Content mixed with gastric juice and drooling overflows the body with a sour odor.

It also depended on the wreckage of Shaura crumbling on the floor, and played a part in humiliating her even more after her death, when she died in horrible ways.

"Yeah! Oh, uh, yeah..."

But Svalbard, who squatts and continues to vomit, cannot afford to look out for such blasphemy of the dead.

I just rot in the pain of my stomach squeezing and the uninterrupted gushing vomiting that opens my throat whenever possible and exhales the burning sensation that goes in.

Eventually, Subaru throws his body out on the floor where he threw up until the contents of his stomach were empty. He spread his hands wide and became a big letter, staring at the ceiling, covering his face.

- This is the first time I've seen a man's, death.

――――

Face-to-face with a man's body was the first time for Subaru.

Often the first relative corpse in life is considered to be an elderly relative. But Subaru has never had a mother, father, or grandparents alive or at a funeral.

On other occasions, someone, has never come across a person's death.

So, for Subaru, the death of the first other person I saw was shocking.

Besides, if the death is clearly out of the ordinary course, all the more so.

People are so cruel that they can take their lives.

"Me, too."

Subaru, who was covering his face with his arms, squeaked and woke up so.

Wipe the slurry against your mouth with your sleeves, shake the noisy head of your tinnitus, and slowly stand up relying on the wall.

Subaru was thrust on the back and slapped down far downstairs.

The wreckage must have turned into a piece of meat that couldn't be seen as a second sight. I can't experience seeing my own body on my own, and I'm slightly relieved by that.

Assuming you see your death with your own eyes, you can't stay sane, etc.

Even if I just understood the fact that I was dead, my mind was struck by a shock that seemed to rip me apart, and it was shattered and scattered.

"And, Kaku..."

Interrupting her thoughts, Subaru gained certainty from the fact that she died while distressing herself to keep the shroud, its wreckage, out of sight rolling beside her.

The fact that there are still terrible insides lurking in this tower.

And at the same time, it was clearly found that the aim of its internal illness was not only to Subaru, but also to other things in the tower.

――――

Bad for the dead Shaura, but this could also be good news for Subaru now.

Now that we don't know who killed Subaru, we won't get Subaru's own rest unless we get rid of all the suspects. But with her death, one suspect disappeared from seven.

At the same time, I was confident that the person who killed Subaru was hostile to anyone but Subaru - or a dangerous person who was trying to erase everyone in the tower.

In other words, someone other than Subaru could kill whoever killed Subaru.

All you have to do is Subaru, kill everyone who survives. So, I'm relieved.

If you kill the killer who's going to kill you and kill the candidate who might try to kill you, only Subaru left in the tower should be able to devour peace.

"That's what I mean... what's in the way, Ram and Echidna? It would be easier if Julius was dead..."

Beatrice and Mary, children, need not think hard with ease of killing.

Emilia and Shaura, although dead, should have been easy to kill through the gap in the sense that they were not alert to Subaru either.

But the presence of rebellious rams against Subaru and clever echidna stinks in the way. I had the impression that these two were the hardest to target and kill even if I were to slay them through the gap.

I can't say anything about Julius, but in his case, he deserves pure vigilance in terms of the only man but Subaru. Though cheap, it's also a problem that he had a sword on his hips.

But to the contrary, if you take that sword, you could be unilaterally hunted down. Subaru was playing Kendo, so if you take the sword, let's say the advantage is certain.

And then...

"I'm up there, you know, motherfucker"

In the name of the examiner, the red-haired man sitting on the upper floor of the tower - turned his thoughts on its elimination, and immediately Subaru shook his head sideways.

It's impossible, like that elimination. That is a transcendent man who lives in constant reason, without a hand.

In Natsuki Subaru's common sense, it's never possible to beat that one or anything.

I can't kill you, some things.

The only thing that, if there is salvation, is that it is hard to think of as the existence that thrust Subaru. If so, there was such a negative trust that I wouldn't try to kill you in such a boring way.

――――

Picking up the fallen knife, Subaru crosses Shaura's remains and heads back.

For a moment, I was unsure whether to examine Shaura's remains, but it was hard to even think that she in thin clothes had something useful, and at the same time, my conscience blamed me for humiliating the dead any more.

She's dead. Dead things are no longer enemies to Subaru.

She just didn't have any luck. - It's just because that's all.

Hands in hand, what a special victory we don't even have.

When Subaru abandoned Shaura on the spot, he slowly walked behind the tower, sneaking down a four-layer aisle so as to follow the trail of destruction.

In the tower, the noise seems so quiet that I can't hear a single thing, and the silence seems back to loud.

A high ear ringing scratched my brain I felt like I could hear blood circling my body. Strangely, however, the beat is slow and the first excitement calms down like a lie.

On the way up to the four layers, the blackening boiled hatred still creeps and peels like dirt in my chest.

Even now, for his own survival, he remains prepared to carry out the slaughter.

Stab, decide, and take the life of the first person you see. I'm ready for that.

And yet...

- After turning the corner, finding Echidna's body cut off obliquely, Subaru has no idea how helpful his readiness is in this hell.

Echidna's wreckage, from her right shoulder to her left side, suffered a wound like a bushel slashed with some large blade, which had collapsed.

――――

When I imagined a big blade, the first thing that came to mind was Julius' sword.

It was a salt plum sword, like a cheap, mass-produced product, but it would work well enough to slash the body of a woman as luxurious as Echidna.

The problem is, I don't know if Julius has a reason to kill Echidna.

In the story introduced, Echidna and Julius had a relationship with their husband and squire - I hear there were more, more difficult circumstances there, but anyway, it should have been close to that relationship.

Regardless, if Julius is a hunting killer aimed at the lives of everyone in the tower, it may not mean anything, such as circumstances.

"Ugh, bu... ha, ha..."

Leaning against the wall, again, Subaru, defeated by a stomach appeal, looks up.

The circumstances of the body are somewhat better than those of the first chaurat. Still, it is a sight that requires courage to be seen seriously, but the impression of its death was very different from that of Shaura.

Whereas I remember the impression that the fallen down chaurat was killed and abandoned, this echidna remains a tribute to the dead.

In physical terms, her body was covered with a white cloth and her eyelids were closed.

――――

If you think of the difference in the way you kill, there is also a huge difference in the way you mourn the dead.

In this case, it seemed strange to just think which was more normal.

"Echidna also disappeared..."

With his breath trembling, his voice plunging and his hands and feet cramping into small pieces, Subaru writes down only the facts in front of him in his memory, still behind the tower, in search of the survivors to kill.

Or already, Subaru walks, obscuring even the reason why what he seeks is whether he is a living or dead person or what he seeks for.

- Behind the hallway, I found a ram with a torso blown out of my back.

The torso is in a disastrous state with a large hole between the lower chest and the waist and almost a thousand cuts. The scar also looked like the same thing that killed the desert mites in Subaru.

He must have run through the hallway and been shot in the back trying to get somewhere. A resentful curse was felt on his dead face, biting his lips and leaving him mindless.

I vomited.

- Morning briefings and in the hall where we ate, there were the bodies of Julius and Mary.

Julius' death was by far the most spectacular. Traces of beatings and lacerations sustained by overwhelming cleavage are present throughout the body. The wound on his left arm that blew out of his elbow had a slice of his cloak rampantly wound and treated. I can't find a direct cause of death. If that's the cause of death in your body, then perhaps losing too much blood is the cause of his death.

And was he so desperate to resist for the girl behind him?

I vomited.

Mary, who kept her back on the wall and put her hand on her belly, was the only one who had died with a serene face.

Wet wounds do exist in the abdomen touched by small palms with bright red blood. Her cause of death would also be blood loss. Wounded, and as I waited for salvation in this place, I lost my life.

Yet the fact that the expression on the wreckage seemed restful had made me refuse to understand anything.

I vomited.

――――

Corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses.

There was a body. There were just corpses. All the bodies, they were rolling.

I don't understand what's going on.

The reality of what is going on is uncertain.

Ideally, it was a condition for rest that everyone but Subaru would die.

But where Svalbard's existence was lacking, it is incomprehensible that they are all dead.

A miserable chaurat with his head crushed and his whole body chopped up.

Echidna was slapped off from shoulder to side and fell into a tragic blow.

A lamb that was blown off its torso from behind, mindlessly cursed to death.

Leaving traces of intense fighting throughout his body, Julius finally lost his life.

It's just that Mary died peacefully sweetening a slow death, losing blood from a wound to her belly.

What, if anything, would this happen?

Who, if the culprit, can accept this situation?

"Emilia and Beatrice..."

There are five bodies found, and two suspects not found.

Either of those two, or those two conspired to cause this?

First, did the two of you who cared about Subaru, who woke up without memory, accomplish this heinous crime by dwelling behind that attitude of murder and madness?

Five bodies, four white cloths, and four other than Shawrah, each hung.

The four bodies, other than the chaurat, were carefully laid on the floor and closed to the lid. There is respect for the dead. Only on Shaura's body, it doesn't.

In the first place, at what time was this killing happening?

"The blood..."

It was dry, I think.

Fluffy, Svalbard searching around for the presence of Emilia and Beatrice, yet to be found in the tower, ponders and ponders the situation of each body.

The backward blood odor and the situation of the corpse come back to life clearly.

It pierces the cerebromedulla and the stomach peristallizes with pain, but the bottom of the contents is exhausted. One cold sweat does not float in a dry way that does not even salivate the remnants of the diarrhea in the mouth.

Subaru's body was so thirsty. Likewise, their blood was dry.

Even if the blood was harder to dry than the water, that's all.

It is believed that the hours, or a dozen hours, needed to dry have already passed since the tragedy. Subaru himself, I don't know how long I've been wandering underground in the desert, but I'm not sure enough time is flowing for that, no or no.

There is confusion and chaos.

The restraint of unfettered consciousness appeals to me to do something about the nagging situation.

If we don't buy rest, if we don't find it, for that matter, we need to reduce the number of suspects.

If one of the two other killers who created this situation dies, they will be released.

――――

- I went into the green room. A black lizard found Subaru and hissed.

It was the first time since I returned to this tower that I had found a living being.

"Ha. Lizard, what the hell?"

Seeing lizard survival, Subaru spilled a thirsty grin.

Someone, if they could, would have preferred a face-to-face with the corpse, but what the hell does a lizard add to the survivors we've come across over this period?

tongue-butting, immediately turning his back and leaving the room. I don't have any business, such as a room that's not there except for lizards. But...

"Follow me!

――――

Behind Subaru, who left the room, a black lizard with its shrunken body tried to follow him.

A lizard that is surprisingly large when it rises is exactly the same size as a horse. It moves his legs with sharp nails and follows him behind Subaru.

Couldn't stand the pressure, Subaru waved his arms, spitting and intimidating.

"I don't have time to play with you! We have to kill the surviving man in this tower! If you interrupt..."

Standing with a knife in his hand, Subaru stares at the lizard from the front.

The sharp looking lizard saw the massive knife Svalbard had in his hand, but immediately returned his gaze to Svalbard, not to the knife.

"Ugh..."

Ignoring the existence of the knife, Subaru's throat trembles at the attitude of watching over this one.

It's like he didn't kill Subaru with anything. Because that's terribly unpleasant, uncomfortable, and inspiring hostility that was smoking in the back of my chest -

"- I'm sorry, you're kidding me!!

At the same time as he shouted, Subaru shook his knife and slammed him to the confronting lizard.

The tip of the knife pierces the pitch-black scale. At first, there was a slight sense of resistance, but it easily broke the resistance, and stood profoundly against the lizard's body with an unpleasant response.

Really, a lizard that was motionless, with a knife stabbed around its left side. The blade dived into the lizard's body to the ground and blood spilled deep into the obvious.

"Now..."

What do you think, Subaru's throat spilled a finely inverted exhale as he tried to continue.

For the first time, in an attempt to kill a creature, he executed an action to kill it. The excitement about it and the severe palpitations caused it, but there was another factor that didn't last the words.

――――

"Ah, uh..."

The lizard with the knife protruding was watching Subaru, not making it faint.

Deep down, there's no reaction to being stabbed in the blade. Do not react in any way to pain or surprise. Just lizard sharp eyes watched Natsuki Subaru do.

That, the unreadable lizard eyes of emotion, are disputing Natsuki Subaru.

"Fuck...... fuck, fuck, fuck! What the hell, what the fuck!

Scratching his head Subaru becomes intolerable and fierce.

Subaru, summoning, also forgot to take back the knife he stabbed in the lizard's body, and stepped back.

- No, I don't have the courage to touch that knife. Lizard eyes, horrible.

"You, those other than you... and the body! And the one who's alive! I don't know if they're alive or dead. And those guys! What the hell do you think and what do you want to do!?

Subaru hits the lizard in front of him, knowing it was useless to say.

Wandering through the tower, wandering through the underground darkness where you can't see anything, you don't know the right or the left, depressed and hoarded emotions, suffering from the facts thrown into such a world.

"He who tries to kill me always kills him! Whoever tries to rely on me, I'm always gonna let this guy go, too! Don't get me wrong! Get on with it! Take it easy, you're getting familiar... I'm not kidding!

――――

"I don't know one thing about you guys! There's nothing left to know about what you guys think! Everybody pushes their situation...! If you guys are all over your hands about yourselves! Even I'm full of my hands about me!

Yelling, arousal scattering, Subaru was only weeping at all times, kneeling on the spot.

Front, lizards talk nothing and watch Subaru shake his shoulders and breathe rough. Subaru could not see such a lizard from the front, squatting and pressing his forehead against the floor.

"Leave me alone, leave me alone..."

Subaru's tears echo empty into the quiet passage as he squeezes it out of his throat.

As it were, how much time would have passed? A dozen seconds, dozens of seconds, minutes. The immobile Subaru crawls on the floor, he realizes.

That a slight, really slight tremor is approaching us through the floor...

"Ah."

"- Huh."

Moments later, Subaru looks up at the lizard's mouth, which is excitedly opened in front of him.

Lizard mouth lined with sharp fangs, which looms towards Subaru. Keep it up, I was wondering if I'd die of getting my head bitten off, and look at that in a terrible, other HR-like comfort -,

"Uh-huh!?"

Lizard's big mouth turned Subaru's left shoulder and ran straight out at once.

Your body floats and is forcefully pulled off the ground. Lizard's sharp fangs ate into her shoulder mouth, and screams leaked unexpectedly at the pain of the meat to be determined.

"Gi, ah! Hi-ha, hi-ha!

I tried to kill him. It could kill me, I had that idea.

But now that you've actually got your fangs up your shoulder, the fear of the pain you've created easily smears your cheap readiness. Shoulder eaten, body eaten, chewed, die?

Death by being eaten by a creature is the nearest worst way you can imagine.

To that hunch, right after Subaru's whole body trembled in fear -,

――――

The passageway, where Subaru was on the verge, is blown straight from the bottom by a bitter amount of black wax.

It sprinkled a fierce impact sound with dust, ravaging the floors and walls of the aisle, the ceiling, and pointing a spearhead at the Subaru, even in search of prey.

- That's what Subaru looks like, black, made of black shadows, even arms.

"Shadow, Arms..."

The woman who tormented Subaru in the back of her brain, on the stairs, passes.

The shadow woman, who hid her face in a black vale, thoroughly swept Subaru's heart and engraved fear. And the shadow that overflowed in front of her was very similar to the shadow of the woman.

That's what ravages the passage of the tower all you want, and follows Subaru and - the escaping lizard.

"You...... ugh!

The lizard did not answer and ran through the aisle at a fierce rate, keeping Subaru turned.

Subaru, who is turned in the opposite direction from the path, can't see where the lizard is trying so hard to escape. Instead, only the fierce majesty of the shadows that followed could be seen directly, and the blood of his whole body froze.

To that, to be swallowed by that shadow, or to have a more terrible end than death.

Intuitively understanding it, Subaru pushes the lizard fangs deeper into his shoulders. My throat shook at the pain, but if I was shaken off, it would be over.

This has only served no purpose, such as disgust with lizards.

"- Huh."

Front, the aisle sounded like it was going to blow up, and the shadows blocked this way.

Moments later, at the discretion of the lizard, he cuts back the path, jumps into the sidewalk on the verge of being swallowed by shadows, and walks without shaking off the shadows that push him with turbulent momentum.

But that's how I kept running away from the shadows, and the space that popped up was -,

"-! Spiral staircase...... Huh!

Four layers and a huge spiral staircase that connects the five layers, jumps out into the space and Subaru ceases.

Regardless, that's the fact that from four layers of height, you can see five layers that are far below - once you had the fear of seeing the view of yourself falling to death, but that's not all.

Under his eyes, the stairs that rise from five to four layers are swallowed by black shadows and sink.

In other words, the entire tower, the lower half of it, was surrounded by huge amounts of shadows, about to sink.

"You can't run down there... because even though behind you..."

Below the tower is already in the hands of the shadows, and a black turbulence looms from the back of the passage that has fled.

Rest in peace, a totally cornered situation.

All you have to do is make an unreasonable choice between being swallowed by shadows or dying otherwise.

――――

For a moment, the possibility of suicide crossed my mind.

If that shadow swallows you, wouldn't it be better if you chose death yourself? And in a moment, Subaru might still have the possibility of dying.

"Ah, hi."

As soon as he became strongly aware of his self-death, Svalbard's whole body began to tremble when he was distressed.

What if you choose to die yourself and that's it? I vaguely believe it is the result of what I have redone now, but is there any assurance that that is the case?

Or as I first thought, how can you say it wasn't a predictive dream? Until last time, it was a painful predictive dream, and if this is the last time, that's it.

In the first place, why should I die?

I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you paying for your life in this situation?

"I don't like it... I don't want to die!!

No shame, no outside hearsay, Subaru cried out.

There is not a single person in the tower who hears it. There are only dead people and missing persons.

So, the only thing I heard of it was a lizard that wasn't human, that was pitch-black.

"- Huh!"

A lizard explodes a growl in the back of his throat as he captures Subaru in his fangs.

Shortly afterwards, the lizard gained a tremendous acceleration and leaped into the blank of the spiral staircase at once so as to escape the impending turbulence from behind.

――――

Naturally, no matter how momentous the leap, any one of them will lose momentum, be caught by gravity, and remain free to fall, swallowed into the shadows beneath their eyes.

The lizard, however, unleashes its desperate situation in a way that changes things and is astonishing.

"- Huh"

Two legs of lizards, their sharp tips pierce the tower walls. Regardless, where it is mounted on the wall, any fall is inevitable. - If the wall was vertical.

It excites his throat and the lizard runs through the wall.

By being swallowed by shadows from the ground up, the giant tower was starting to lean slightly. Lizards tread and tread its walls, almost perpendicularly inclined, diagonally.

"Ugh, you know..."

I can't get an overall picture of what's going on in Svalbard that will swing around.

However, it has been clearly conveyed that this black lizard is spending and advancing all the power it can have for survival.

"You..."

Immediately afterwards, the black turbulence covers the place where the lizard stomped off. The turbulence searched for the presence of prey that was supposed to swallow, and when he realized it was mounted on the wall and ran, he jumped to the place.

Moments, lizards flip themselves, barely avoiding the turbulent attacks that push them. Heavy shocks and hurricanes created a large hole in the wall of the tower avoided by the lizard.

"- Huh"

Without one or two, a lizard slips itself into an empty hole in the wall.

Severely shaken to the left and right, Subaru's triple tube loses its sense of equilibrium and can no longer capture the world properly. However, among other things, it turns out that lizard's forceful movement is a consideration not to subaru a shadow attack, and that no consideration has been given to shadowing his own body.

Through the big hole. Shortly afterwards, he was greeted by a breeze that conceived sand, and black burned Subaru's sight.

I'm taking an outside breath. Did you jump out of the tower? Moreover, the lizard ran up the walls of the tilted tower, escaping the shadows and desperately, desperately -

"- Ugh!?

A large, lizard thin neck is deflected, and the next moment, the wind showers hard.

The lizard fangs eating into his left shoulder were pulled out, and the pain of the meat being shredded gave rise to a white brightness behind his eyes. However, I lag behind in its pain and wind sensation and my whole body is hit by a stiff feeling.

Bumped, rolled, thrown out, exhaled. I opened my eyes.

A glimpse of the black night sky appeared on the faintly bright front.

"Oh, uh...?

Subaru woke up in a hurry to the sight that was outside of that imagination.

Look around. It can be seen as a space of the same material as the tower, but certainly an outer space - a space that accompanies the outer walls of the tower, like a balcony.

Through the hole in the wall, running up the wall, throwing Subaru into this space -,

"Lizard...... Huh!

At war, Subaru rushes in the direction where he rolls in and peeks downstairs.

And I saw the lizard who threw himself into the place, the end of it.

- A falling lizard is swallowed by a shadow that is still blacker than its scale and disappears.

Stabbed with a knife by irrational anger, without regard for his own pain and fear, he threw Subaru into this balcony, as it were, lizards, into the shadows.

A more terrible end awaits than death, shadowed, swallowed.

"What, what"

What the hell. What the hell. What is it?

Subaru doesn't know anything anymore.

――――

From the balcony, Subaru looks at the bottom of the tower swallowed by the shadows. Two, beside its subaru, one white bird stopped on the outer edge of the balcony.

With an emotionless eye, Subaru breathed "ha" into the presence of a white bird watching Subaru - a large bird.

A dead suspect, an invisible suspect, a lizard who helps with his life, a white bird who suddenly appears in this situation - a tower that is swallowed, little by little, by shadows and disappears.

――――

Subaru sits down weak, savoring the feeling that the end is approaching.

Oh, and desperately, I know lizards tried to help Subaru. I know, but that thought goes to waste. - Just a little, the time that passes into death has just been extended.

――――

Subaru looked up.

Behind me, there were signs of surprise. Not a bird, not a lizard, not a shadow.

Live, some sign, stood.

"... what are you..."

With no room to look back, Subaru inquired in a weak voice.

To that voice, his throat trembled slightly, and someone standing behind him laughed. In a voice I've never heard.

- Next time, guess what, hero.

Moments, the wind sounds, Subaru's vision jumps high and rotates as he twirls.

Terrible, my body is light. Up in the sky like a bird, I noticed.

Someone snapped Subaru's neck from behind...

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

The connection of the neck, which should have been twisted, and the switch of consciousness were momentary events.

I woke up on a bed with a flexible feel, and welcomed Subaru, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find it, the sound of a silver bell and its owner.

"Ami, Ria..."

"Oh, Subaru, good. You woke up. I was so worried."

Noisy, there is a girl - Emilia's expression of relief - in front of the lid-open Subaru. She woke up. She was stroking her chest down on Subaru's condition and carving a smile on her lips.

――――

Um, I'm looking at Emilia, and her thin, beautiful neck is dazzling to my eyes.

Subaru gently reached out to Emilia's thin neck, feeling somewhere thirsty. The thin neck is easy to fit into Subaru's hands.

"Subaru? What's wrong?

Soon, Emilia, whose neck is held by Subaru, rounds her eyes.

I am surprised by Subaru's tricks, but I have not moved to reject them. If you care about that, Subaru can do everything in his power, and I'm sure this neck will break easily.

Even though he's holding his life, Emilia's reaction is somewhat dull and sneaky -,

"Emilia, apparently Subaru is in love. It's a long time to worry about the Betties."

"-"

As soon as he did, Subaru took his hand off Emilia's neck to a voice called from right beside him.

If you look, you'll have a short arm by the bed, eyes to eyes with Beatrice squeaking her nose in a frightened manner. to her words, Emilia smiled bitterly, "Well,

"But it's perfectly fine as long as I'm sleeping with you. I don't know what I'd do if I was in trouble... because when I found Subaru, who was falling, Beatrice was about to cry too."

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

Beatrice blushes and gets pungently angry at Emilia's statement without offense.

The two people who exchange that exchange have no idea what impulse Subaru was captive to now. Before that, I had no awareness that it was a dangerous situation.

In my attitude toward Subaru, it's shown as true...

"- I mean, this is..."

Also, right after Natsuki Subaru lost his memory - in other words, the moment Natsuki Subaru was able to recognize that he had been summoned to another world, he came back to the place.

And at the same time -,

"- Huh"

"-! You... eh"

To a slight hissing and breathing, Subaru looks back in haste and puts the figure in his sight.

In the corner of the green room, a black giant sitting in a courteous manner - a lizard who ran for Subaru to the point of being swallowed by the shadows, nestled there loosely.

"... I don't know, I don't know. I think it was Betty and Emilia who found Subaru."

"Heh heh, don't you insist? Not bad. Subaru and Patrash, amazing and friendly."

Behind my back, I hear such conversations between Emilia and Beatrice.

But Subaru couldn't even react to those two conversations, just hugged the large body of lizards in front of him and thanked him that their presence was here.

- In that place, the only person who didn't hurt Subaru, I was grateful.
