Chapter Six-45: The Embrace of the Sinner

- The painfully red Shizuku drips down the right arm where the black spot print runs.

Fortunately, even the right arm with a much bolder Imechen, its endurance hasn't changed anything from that of the human body.

If you put up your nails, the pain will run, if you can help, the skin will tear, and the blood will spill out.

Feelings, I felt the bleeding of that wound stop fast, but it was really a slight difference.

――――

Brutally wipe the blood with your palms, leaving traces of blood plundering in your right arm and your sleeves down. Though the result of doing it myself, it's not something I'd like to see for too long. Of course, the inscribed letter 'Natsuki Subaru ascended' on his left arm was also kept hidden with his sleeve down.

"Anyway, you can't stay here long..."

Already, I've wasted quite a bit of time in this room.

It doesn't change in the center of the room, there is the remains of Mary, who is breathless and immobile, but there is no longer anything you can do to her from Subaru.

It was a wish to mourn him or to humiliate him after his death.

- No, what we're going to do may be to degrade the postmortem.

――――

Light body, arms under both armpits of the girl, Subaru drags Mary's remains and deflects her position to the corner of the room.

Was there such a thing as ex-conditioning in the abandoned room?

It was originally a desk made of stone, or maybe bedding. Anyway, there was a square stone just cut out, and I gently hid Mary's body behind it.

- Bad, I apologize from the bottom of my heart to Mary, but Subaru decided to hide her death.

In the first place, who the hell can defend Subaru in this situation without covering it up?

Even though Subaru himself can't deduce the sincerity of Natsuki Subaru, who the hell else can do it?

"The defense and nothing, hey. You killed Mary... even if it may not be me, the murder weapon you killed is my hands."

I can't speculate on any level of criminal investigation in this world, but if you look at Mary's hand nails and Subaru's wrist wounds, the jury will unanimously convict Subaru.

And Subaru can't find any point in challenging it and appealing it.

If so, all Subaru could do was waive the trial - no, hide the sins.

I don't think this is the right decision or the best choice. But Subaru has no other means to take it. - I didn't know who to trust and who to doubt anymore.

There's just one thing, if there's anything I can say...

"Next time I see Mary... you're not the only suspect"

The whole thing, the strangulation, and Subaru saw the remains of Mary with these eyes twice.

If you give me this far, at least I can assume that Mary's suspicions are less than anyone else's. The problem is that I just admitted it and I don't already have the means to talk to her.

The promise of a closed mystery, a pattern where only the dead come off the suspect.

But detective Natsuki Subaru is also equipped with the power of "Back to Death," which rewinds time by being killed. This is a famous detective, even incompetent, who can handle any tragedy.

"Mystery promises that the detective himself is the killer."

Unfortunately, no matter how good 'Return to Death' is, the case is likely to be provoked as many times as it is, beyond the intense theory of the culprit of 'Natsuki Subaru', and difficult to stop.

Detective's, another personality is the killer. This pattern is also used in mystery. So if a detective noticed the fact threw himself off a cliff, would it settle one case?

"Back to Death" and "Detective Himself the Killer", combined, make the case a permanent labyrinth. I can't get out of it, a spiral labyrinth or something.

"I'm telling you, if...! Anyway, now we're buying time."

It's not a problem that time solves, but there's always something that time brings.

Believing that, Subaru hopes to leave the situation of the trail and rises to the occasion.

――――

Upon leaving, Subaru stroked Mary's forehead, which was no longer moving, only once. I'm sure she never wanted Subaru to touch her again.

To the evidence, the forehead touched was so cold that it made me sad that it rejected Subaru.

As such, he heartily covers up the scene of the murder of Mary, and Subaru leaves the room. Then I glanced left and right in the aisle, slowly trying to leave the scene...

"- Ah, Subaru! Good, you were here."

"-!?

It is Emilia who makes her shoulder jump on the call of surprise and comes under the subaru to look back. Coming for a small run, she leans her neck towards Subaru, which stiffens her cheeks,

"I'm sorry, did I surprise you?

"-. Oh, I was out of my way. I'm surprised, but that's, well, what, that. Just because it was sudden, I'm perfectly fine. What happened to Emilia?

"-? I was walking around the tower wondering if there was anything I could do until lunch. More so, Subaru."

"Yeah?"

"Now, another joke?

Subaru stuffs his breath at Emilia's strange inquiry.

Purple blue eyes stare straight at Subaru, but Subaru doesn't know what she meant by her inquiry.

It is true that there was upset in my voice, but what I told myself should have been an answer that had nowhere to stand out.

――――

Still, rather than jealous Emilia's gaze, Subaru felt uncomfortable and swallowed a bitter spit.

In the room right behind me, the remains of Mary, who still sleeps, are rolling. It's hidden so that you don't know as much as a light peek into the room, but it's just a childish way to hide it that you can find light if you can look it up a little bit.

Anyway, leaving this place now was a priority.

"Bad, a little toilet"

"Oh, yeah, okay"

How appropriately misleading words are left, Subaru quickly leaves the front of the room.

We have to walk early, get a distance from Emilia, and get to a place where we can kill time by ourselves as soon as possible. So give me a response to the wound on your right arm...

"What, Emilia? I said I had to use the bathroom. Why are you following me?

"Huh? 'Cause we're all gonna get together for lunch in a little while, don't you think we should stay together? It's okay, I'll be right outside the door."

"I'm not worried about being heard peeing..."

Next to Subaru, who wants to leave, Emilia peeks into this face.

When it comes to honesty, it's basically something that the side that is said to be honest feels hard about. In this case as well, the alleged Subaru was distressed without an argument floating around.

However, on that distressing back, Subaru carefully speculates through Emilia's chest.

- What is Emilia saying she wants to accompany Subaru?

――――

――

Still, Emilia makes a decent face to Subaru as she peers at herself with her side.

She's a pretty face who doesn't look like she's up to anything, but she's actually a suspect in a powerful enemy.

At the last total annihilation, Subaru had not seen the remains of Emilia and Beatrice.

From the wound on his arm, it is true that the sincerity of 'Natsuki Subaru' is unclear, but even if there were a 'Natsuki Subaru' darkness, that situation cannot be created by itself.

Shawla, echidna, lamb. Someone who killed Julius Mary, finally crumbled the tower with the power of a shadow, and finally snapped Subaru's neck.

Still, Subaru doesn't know it exists, someone was in that tower.

"Subaru, are you okay? I knew you weren't back on track yet, were you?

"- Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking."

"Really? But I don't think he looks well."

Softly, Emilia reaches out to Subaru.

I can't even get rid of it, and I let Emilia do it, but I let her cheek whip. Subaru frowned at the tickling sensation.

"... you're looking closely"

"Mm-hmm, yeah, I'm looking closely at it. I don't know, I've been following Subaru with my eyes a lot lately... I'm not sure why, but it's weird."

- Yeah, it's weird.

Carefully, pay attention to Emilia's every step of the way.

Emilia's smiling hand touches Subaru's face. Not necessarily without her hands scratching Subaru's throat whistle in just a blinking moment. Or without that need, Emilia's arm strength would also make it possible to snap Subaru's cervical bone as it is.

But I can't feel any malice or hostility in her hand, and Subaru is on his way.

Interpretation, Subaru's - I can't guess the feeling of Subaru, a single student who only knows peaceful Japan, on the way home from the convenience store. Little experience touching people's animosity, harmfulness, or anything like that.

Familiar with Subaru is the atmosphere that distracts the troublemakers and the silence of indifference that cannot even be called cold contempt. - Neither, lonely Natsuki Subaru, will hurt you.

So I don't know if the emotion the girl in front of me has in her purple blue eyes is real or fake.

Just suppose you don't know anything...

――――

Whatever, if I smack him in, what will he look like?

Well, just because I don't have a single thing to worry about, how much would I feel if I sneezed a beautiful face like I grew up looking at all the beautiful things?

- You're the one who's worried about Natsuki Subaru.

- No, you don't. I told him he was a cruel, crazy killer.

"- Speaking of which, I'm talking about Mary."

"-"

Hiu, and his throat rings, and Subaru's eyes open.

It's an unexpected upset that the surprise of Mary's name here can't hide the dust. If Emilia's aim was to see the reaction, Subaru would have completely fitted in during her surgery.

But Emilia was looking away from Subaru and dropping her gaze to the floor. It's not looking down the aisle, it's bigger, it's looking at the whole tower.

Remaining in that posture, Emilia gave a slight glimpse of hesitation before

"Would you be angry if I was quick? When I get back from this tower safely, I need to talk to you about Mary."

――――

"Of course, what that kid did a year ago is a bad thing, and I know Otto's saying it shouldn't be easy to believe...... I owe it to Mary to get over the dunes, and if she's still going to make it worse, I think she could have done a lot of things before she came to the tower"

Pick the hem of your own clothes and state what Emilia thought was hard.

Half the talk, it didn't feel like it, but Mary's position among the lines in this tower is special, and it seems to be an assassin who was originally after Emilia and Beatrice's life.

She failed in that task and was a prisoner, but used her inborn special abilities to accompany her on this journey, contributing to the purpose of her former target.

"Amnesty, is that him?"

"I say I'll set you free, but I think that's going to be against everyone. But something else, that's enough to live outside the jail, right?

――――

"Of course, try talking to Mary herself, conditional if that kid wants it. It would be tough if I got ahead on my own and that kid hated me."

He waved hastily, claiming that Emilia was only one opinion.

Perhaps it's a story that she thought about well enough and communicated in full. Everywhere, there is a glimpse of room for reworking assuming objections.

- Is this Emilia's heart?

――――

Believe me, is it a good one?

At least at the moment, there is no occasion when Emilia's attitude has once floated hostility towards Subaru. - No, if you say so, nothing has shown hostility to Subaru in the first place.

No Beatrice, no Echidna, no Lamb, no Julius, no Mary, no one, no one who showed hostility to Subaru.

What is certain is the culprit who slaughtered Subaru, the culprit who wiped out all the officials in the tower, and the culprit who snapped Subaru's neck. - And "Natsuki Subaru" who killed Mary.

Only that they are evil to spit on.

Then can I believe Emilia?

Even if you believe her like this innocent, unclean, freshly snowed snow.

- Emilia speaks with so much heat, and I wonder if this hand killed Mary, but still, you believe me.

"... ridiculous"

"Huh?"

"That's what I said about crap. You knew it yourself. Feeling fast? You're right. How can we talk about the outlook in this situation?"

All directions are blocked, and there's absolutely no room for caring about others to do it.

Not to mention if that's the story of the future of an already dead girl. What an easy-going head, even if you glanced at the fact that you don't know that 'death'.

――――

Emotionally cursed, Subaru immediately bit his lips at what he said.

I said something stupid. I let the momentum and emotion on the spot knock Emilia over what I had no choice but to say, a statement that was just suspicious.

This deed has no justification whatsoever. It was just eight hits, a child's eclampsia.

That 's--

"Subaru!"

"Bu."

"What's the sudden matter? Even if you're in a bad mood, you can't put it that way."

――――

Surprised, stunned, leaning still in wounded emotion, he weeps and whimpers.

As she kicked Subaru in anticipation of such a reaction, Emilia glanced straight into this black eye as she impetuously pinched Subaru's cheek with both hands.

"-"

"If you're infidel and you're feeling hard, talk to me properly! Me or Beatrice. If Subaru's in trouble, I'll be in trouble with you, too. But hold it in by yourself, sneeze it by yourself, and stop ending it by yourself. That's not like Roswar when it was bad. Don't imitate me."

Hard work, Emilia stands up for Subaru. Then she pulled her head all the way when she took her hand away from Svalbard's face, which was taken in disquiet.

Then hold Subaru's head in his chest and gently stroke him.

"Will you understand? My heart, because I'm not angry at all. I'm not even disillusioned, talk to me."

――――

The soft feeling pressed, on the other side of it warm, feels the rhythm of carving life.

That was as gentle as a babysitting song to make the baby hear, and Subaru held his breath. Moment after moment, it was the emotion of intense shame that sprang up in Subaru's heart.

You've done this far, said all those terrible things, and still, be nice.

What's the point of hating and hurting her with such suspicion, darkness clouds?

- Are you sure you're here? I don't know who you're up to, trying to kill Subaru.

- Didn't falling to death really just be an accident?

- It wasn't something someone did intentionally, accidentally, just someone pressed it.

There's no one in this tower that's bad.

The dirtiest, ugliest, and most dangerous are Natsuki Subaru and "Natsuki Subaru," what's not just an impudent foreign molecule that shouldn't have been there?

"Emilia, I..."

"- Yeah."

"I..."

I don't know what to tell you from.

However, I tried to tell him, to break it down, to expose him.

I've lost my memory, I've been back in time every time I die, about Mary.

All of it, you might not believe it. But you might believe me. If you can believe me, I might find a way to open it.

If only we could find it, Subaru would...

"- Dear Emilia! Balth!"

It was the moment I managed to squeeze out the contents of the shaggy head.

A sharp, incisive voice jumps in from side to side so as to anoint Subaru's misery. With Emilia holding him, Subaru can't see his voice. From that overhead, I heard Emilia muttering "Ram," confirming her opponent.

"What's going on? Now we're talking about Subaru..."

"That, as you can see by the ram...... interrupt. It's an emergency."

"Ugh, yeah......"

When the shoe sounds come right to the side, Emilia releases her nagging and Subaru. The warmth of the distant sensation and the heat of the wax forced Subaru to wipe his face off with his sleeves.

Then Emilia and I head back to the ram.

When they see something that doesn't look good, or the timing sucks, they want to hit the ram with swollen emotions.

I just reflected on that, but I seriously resent myself for not being able to get back on my feet right away.

But how Ram was, he couldn't afford to make fun of the two people he hugs, or consider Subaru, who was seen and crammed into a place of emotional destination, or do that.

"Ram, what's wrong?

"... of a fire, for an errand. Come to the library at once, on three levels. Dear Beatrice, what a big deal."

"Beatrice did?

To the surprise Emilia, Ram nods briefly, "Yes".

Then, when she turned her back on the Subaru's,

"Dear Anastasia... No, is it Echidna? Anyway, I'll find Julius with that one. Barus, stay with Emilia."

"Oh, oh, okay..."

In an unspeakable manner, Subaru shook his head vertically without being able to argue.

I don't even see that reply, and Ram kicks the floor refreshed and runs away from front of the two of them. Surprised at how it was going, Subaru looked back to Emilia.

"Uh, Ram said, oh..."

"- Let's hurry. Ram was so serious. Something went wrong."

――――

"Subaru, just now, because I haven't forgotten"

"... yeah"

Subaru snorted weakly and obeyed Emilia, who would only press there.

No longer, because of his guilt for Mary and his urgency for the situation, Svalbard's policy of thinking of being alone is utterly frustrating.

As it was, Subaru took Emilia and hurried to the three-tier 'Tygeta'.

Running up a long staircase, greeted by a vast library of 'dead' books.

- I don't know.

Behind that bookcase, where the countless Books of the Dead fit, Beatrice, nestled in front of the stairs, greets Subaru.

With her short arms together, the girl lays down her characteristically tattooed eyes, spilling a slightly tired exhale.

"Beatrice, I've been called to the ram. He said he found something tough."

"I'm pretty sure that's not good news. I'd rather call it a vicious omen."

That being said, Beatrice shakes her head loosely to Emilia's question.

Then she turned her blue eyes toward Subaru,

"Betty's been checking this Tygeta library all morning. That's how Subaru was falling, close and far from the forbidden library as a mechanism, I wonder if he was trying to analyze this room."

"Ma, the foreground is good. What happened to you? Tell me."

Running up the stairs, Subaru, lightly disturbed by breath, rushes to a conclusion.

To the words, Beatrice once closed her eyes. And slowly, she pointed to one of the bookcases behind the diagonal,

It's the third step from the top, the book to the far right.

"-Third."

"far right"

Following Beatrice's point, Subaru and Emilia headed to the bookcase with their words rebuffed.

Firmly, the bookshelf is packed with books, and the otherworldly characters written on the back cover are completely unreadable to Subaru. As always, it just seemed like hieroglyphics.

So I don't even know the book Beatrice wanted to teach the Subaru's, its title.

At least, it is certain that it is the Book of the Dead more than it is in this library -,

"Shh..."

and Emilia right next door spilled it.

Turning to you, Subaru stiffens her cheeks to her stunned reaction.

So much amazement, so much sorrow that comes soon after delay.

What the hell struck her mind so strong and out of hand?

Such, her lips tremble next to Subaru, who remembers her righteousness to shocked Emilia.

And Emilia said.

"- Mailie Portrute"
