Chapter Six, 56: The Tale Ahead

――――

Dangerously, supported by a body that fell downstairs from the spiral staircase, the girl - Mairie - had her eyes open to surprise.

With those big, round eyes close together, Subaru couldn't help but have some complicated thoughts about the establishment of a situation he was half sure of.

I am delighted to have made use of 'Back to Death' and consequently prevented the tragedy from happening. but it was also demonstrated that this young girl pushed Subaru's back on another timeline twice in the past.

The killer who slams Subaru's back, lets him fall from the heights and kill him - that was Mairi Portrut, who was no longer in the hands of 'Natsuki Subaru' earlier last time.

"... the blame for killing me is another weird thing to say, brother"

For a moment, while letting the open eyes pass the signs of wolf, Mary quickly loosens her lips and smiles with a finger at Subaru's arm, which is turned to her torso.

Then she stepped back, distancing herself from the spiral staircase and facing Subaru.

"Hey, I may have lost a lot of other things in the clap of losing my memory. Wow. Otherwise, you wouldn't have misunderstood."

"Misunderstood?"

"Yeah, right? - It's a terrible misunderstanding that I'm trying to kill your brother."

Put your hands behind your back and say that with Mary smiling with no offense. Seeing that grandiose and lumpy attitude, Subaru just as well was poked into the void.

No way, I didn't think they would dare to escape telling me even if they held down the crime scene. But the resistance would also be 'me' - no, Mary would be satisfied.

She acts strongly, if often, and badly, on the spot.

Choose your own optimal solution on the spot, that's the sign of her way of life.

In a tangible way, that's exactly how the 'beast' is.

"I can't believe you're suspicious. 'Cause if I really wanted to kill your brothers, it would have been easier on the dunes than in a tower like this. Aye? Oh, your brother doesn't remember, so you might not know."

"Right. It's a funny story indeed. If you've been trying to kill us for a long time, you've had every chance to do so. But you didn't."

"Right? If so..."

"Except if the motive for killing me suddenly grew this morning. Is it better this morning than last night's chain reaction?

――――

Where Subaru said so much, Mairi's expression changed. Mary, with her lips tied, erases her spare smile, then sighs deeply.

And she shrugged her shoulders in an obnoxious manner that did not match its appearance.

"Maybe I was set up?

"What do you mean, fitted?

"Didn't you try it? Lose your memory. Just lie about how I try to poke your brother down... If you have a disturbing molecule on your side, it's a stone to broil out. About the tower, it's no longer worth my use.... to cut it off, it suited me when it was great."

It's hard, it's sad the girl who makes sure she gets her fingers folded and arranges her disadvantages.

In fact, even though there is no such malice, it is true that Subaru tried Mary's actions. Even if you deny that point, nothing will change Mary's heart certificate.

However, there are things that can be said clearly. It's...

"So how the hell are you going to end me? Because of this, and you want me to poke you out of here in return for your interest? Bad animals aren't here with you. Now, I can easily get rid of one brother. Hey?

"Don't get me wrong, Mary. My amnesia is not a lie to deceive you. It's a true story, so it's usually serious."

"Well, it feels like you're doing it... but after all, what does your brother want to do? You think payback doesn't really make sense without a response?

"-"

Saying, a girl turns her hand around her thin neck and tongues out.

For a moment, his heart bounced hard in Subaru's chest at the behavior. but that wasn't the kind of sarcasm that Mary remembers as her own death, it was merely a metaphorical expression of killing.

Thinking of it that way, he is one little kid assassin who will do something critical to Subaru's mood. So Subaru, I don't mean to give that back, either...

"Not really, I wouldn't recommend a prolonged killing. Wow. Sometimes I don't want to suffer, but your brother seems bad at hiding things..."

"- I'm not going to kill you or hurt you. After this, tomorrow, we're going to be dating the same way we've always been."

"... what?

To that Subaru answer, Mary's expression changed again.

However, that is fundamentally different from the changes that were made earlier, when the next optimal solution was chosen immediately. An obvious werewolf ran on Mary's expression, and she saw Subaru with her incomprehensible eyes.

Subaru nods back at that gaze.

"Fortunately, your offense was still prevented, so if we keep it to ourselves on the party, we can decide that nothing happened. Just dodging, you might have just thought about killing me by different means, so I needed to hold the crime scene down properly. If that's a bad taste, you can't deny it. Bad."

"Ah... what..."

"But, well, you knew about this one, didn't you? Trying to do something about me is pretty risky for you too. If that's still the case, then that's it. Let's at least have a proper discussion. If you're dissatisfied, I'll listen as much as I can..."

"Disgruntled? Disgruntled..."

Two, Mary whined in a small voice, in a trembling voice.

Then she cuddled, and when she tied her lips,

"If you're unhappy, this is the situation now. Ah! Unbelievable!

Subaru's persuasion to exhaust his words and manage to seek a moderate settlement. Take it, turn your eyes on Subaru and bark at what Mary sees as incredible.

"Incredible, incredible, incredible wow..."

Barking, her hands are busily touching her own threesome.

That was what Svalbard seemed to see as an indication of her spiritual self-defense in confusion - her dependence on someone who had the same hairstyle.

"Now your brother doesn't know what I've tried to do. Hey! It would be weird if it wasn't. Wow. If not..."

Words follow, and Mary desperately complains of unnatural.

This is the first time Svalbard has seen Mary so disturbed - no, once in The Book of the Dead, he did see it.

Last night's behavior, encountered and moved with Subaru in "Tygeta," she then decided to kill Natsuki Subaru, who lost her memory, after a conversation with "Natsuki Subaru".

But the plot to kill that rush should have been a sword of all blades for her, too.

I can't even tell Subaru herself that she was thrust down and fell to death, but how was she going to escape the murder suspect after Subaru's death?

Of course, there is a possibility that they could be cleaned up as accidental deaths. - No, what do you think?

Now that I know Emilia, Beatrice, and Rams, Subaru can be sure that they will never finish their "death" with the truth.

In that case, it is inevitable that Mary's crimes will be uncovered.

Rams, Julius, and Echidona would be smarter than Subaru and reveal the truth without ever dying. I don't even think Mary can turn her head about that.

So, this is...

"Yours, it's a sudden urge. You're just a habit of murder. I just don't see any other factors floating around in my options for solving things. It's not your fault."

"- Heh! Like I get it, don't tell me. Hey! To your brother...... to you! What do you know about me?

- I can see that.

――――

Exasperated, stiff as a bitten Mary was allowed to bathe in cold water.

Looking straight at that Mary, Subaru was strong and conclusively out of words.

"Mellie, I know who you are. Maybe it's disgusting, but maybe there's no one in this world who knows more about you than I do, huh?

Mary looks terribly frightened at Subaru for shrugging her shoulders.

While taking that for granted, at the same time, however, Subaru was in a way that conveyed that it was an indisputable fact - even struggling with this, distorted 'self-love' behind his chest.

Retrospective, repeated temptations of 'me' on many occasions.

Appearing as a whispering voice before Natsuki Subaru's actions, the temptation to kill tried many times to invite Subaru to solve a problem in the name of murder to the worst of the most retrogressive actions.

By reading The Book of the Dead, the seduction by the ghost of the dead Mary Portrut, homogenized within Subaru -,

- No, I'm not.

Shaking his neck sideways, Subaru does so and condemns the transfer of responsibility to the girl who killed him.

There is something wrong with this period. Look at the confusion of the girl in front of you and the impatience. Above all, think back to Mary's Book of the Dead, which Subaru himself saw.

If you think of Mary's distress, you can't conveniently equip her with the personality to instigate murder.

That wasn't Mary or anything else that was integrated in The Book of the Dead.

That's a bluff that Subaru's weak heart showed.

For once in the evidence, even the girl in that voice did not show up before Subaru.

――――

It was terribly terminal and unilateral in form, but Subaru went after Mary's life in The Book of the Dead. It was her, days after she got her mind on it - until she established herself, defined how she was, and was unreasonably closed to a lifetime that could never be said to be long.

In those days, there was an invisible nothingness in Mary's remainder, an experience given so much 'fear' that it was comparable to its overly large cavity, and the only, glowing thoughts.

The name of that thoughtfulness is...

- Elsa Grand Hilte.

"-"

"That's why you tried to kill me, isn't it?

To inquire, Mary's expression was distorted by bitterness.

It's anger at being stepped into a situation where you don't want to be touched - no, someone else stepping foot in the ground foot is never good.

But Subaru dares to do it. Because,

"When you go up to a person's house, you take off your shoes, but it's the vegetarian style that just goes up in the earthfoot to someone else's heart."

As a member of it, Natsuki Subaru ascends into the heart of a young assassin.

Factors that root in the depths of her mind, driving her to an impulsive assault...

A black slayer I don't know about Natsuki Subaru, but I feel very close to him.

When I think of her, what springs up in my mind was relief and anticipation, sadness and anger, and blankness - the emotions that Mary had with her seemed so complicated and simple and extreme.

- Mellie, she admired Elsa, she loved her, she admired her.

So I was deprived of it to grieve, to suffer, to hate, to rage, to kill and to lose heart.

It was all an act of vengeance to accompany the Subaru's journey without even giving it a bite - and so much so that she was not clever.

Instead, you can say that Mary's clumsiness was extreme.

A pathetic girl who was so ignorant of her emotions that she didn't even know the depth of her heart's wounds.

- The killer of aquaculture created by the environment, that was Mary Portrut.

"Revenge, you wanted to?

"... I don't know. Wow"

"Even if it was, Elsa..."

"I don't want that. I know that. Wow."

To Subaru's inquiry, Mary shakes her neck sideways twice in a row.

Subaru understands how Mary feels. And Mary also knew that Subaru's words were shooting at the target.

In this situation, it was on par with Mary and Subaru.

So sad is that she has no other technique than 'murder' to spare her emotions, get lost in the trail without knowing the right answer, and clear up those strays.

At the same time, I even have hatred for a world that only gave Mary such a choice.

Even the way Elsa is where Mellie can scorch, that can't be overridden.

Elsa may have been a light for Mellie, but it's too harsh for a normal human to walk down the path that the light illuminated.

"I know you're overwhelming your feelings. But the answer to that probably isn't like I can get right out here. So."

――――

"Leave this place to me. I don't make it bad. At least I'll try not to make it worse. If that's what you want to do."

"... Believe me, I can't. Wow. Anything you can say just to your brother's mouth."

Listening to Subaru's persuasion doesn't make it easy for Mary, who lay down her face.

Naturally, because that's the kind of demand she's made to find the way of life she's cultivated throughout her life, the way she doesn't exist in that dictionary.

Besides, I don't know what it means to suggest it, but Natsuki Subaru drips the sermon with a face like he found out.

That, too, would surprise Subaru himself with its frigid odor if he was prepared to be pushed away and lured to a place like this.

So I thought they would say that, and I had the next best thing there to do.

"When people say I can't believe my mouth, it's a reflection. Thanks, but until yesterday, I was a habitual broker. So."

"So?"

"Let's make a promise to you with us, not with me"

――――

Yes. When Subaru says it off, Mary frowns without knowing its intentions.

But the answer to her doubts quickly became apparent.

It's...

"- It's okay. I've been listening to you, too, and I'm a witness to your promise."

"-"

A voice, and Mary, who made her jump on the shoulder, looks back in agitation. Then, what appears ahead of her gaze is a rare, beautiful girl who sparingly exposes her poor appearance to doubt it's real...

With her eyes open to its emergence, Mary trembles her lips stunned.

"Sister...... listen, were you there?

"Subaru asked me to be present.... that's what they want Mellie to stop when she's in danger"

Saying, it was Emilia who rocked her silver hair, reminiscent of the brilliance of the moonlight, and stood like a passage of mythology, who walked out beneath them.

Listening to that Emilia's words, Mary twisted her neck leaving a surprise,

"When I'm in danger...? Your brother, not...?

"Yeah, when Mary's in danger. That's good to hear, Subaru."

"-. Oh, yeah. That's just a little, seriously, with the anxiety element."

"-? Why are you turning away? Subaru, what's wrong?

"No, you know, it's cute to look at..."

Subaru answers Emilia's query with a small voice, leaning her neck. The content was not heard and Emilia deepened the angle of her neck more and more, but Subaru turned once again to the bewildered Mary when she misled the shame with a cough.

If I knew it was going to pop, there was enough confidence in Subaru to prevent Mary from committing the crime. The problem was then the trend of 'Natsuki Subaru'.

Tentatively, if the purpose of the 'Natsuki Subaru' around Mairi's murder was to act in self-defence against Mairi in an attempt to kill herself, it was not necessarily that 'Natsuki Subaru' would not act against Subaru's will immediately after holding down her crime scene.

Subaru therefore decided to entrust the issue to someone who was clearly stronger than him.

Even if you lose consciousness of yourself and "Natsuki Subaru" stands out, I'm sure Emilia would - no, my people, believe me, you can do something about it.

"Listen, Mary. What Subaru said, I believe. If Mary can't believe it, we should just watch Subaru together. So, if you ever break a promise, I'll piss you off with you."

"Keep an eye on your brother...? That's weird. That's not weird. My brother and sister are supposed to watch over me..."

"If Mary tries to be evil, that's when Subaru breaks his promise to Mary. If so, it's whether Subaru keeps his word or not. In order, right?

――――

Mary is perplexed by Emilia's words, which fold her hips and align herself with her gaze.

In her head, she gets confused because of the facts, the circumstances, the coping and the solution.

"You almost did the wrong thing, but Emilia and I managed to keep it from happening at Nice Save. So I have a chance to learn what to do. With that chance, you can somehow find a way other than killing me... it's a battle."

"Compete...?

"When I'm properly organized into the soft emotions in you, do you still think you're going to have to kill me or not... I'm going to do my ethics class, too"

Scratching his head, Subaru shows Mary's confusion such a way.

To be honest, it would be an extra favor if I were to say extra favors. Mary has a way of life she has cultivated so far, and Subaru is trying to take it upon herself to add new possibilities there.

But if you refuse to do so, her path will be closed with this tower of sand. In the way she has cultivated so far, we cannot cross this tower of sand together.

And -,

"I won't allow you to get off on the way. I don't know how old you are... but when I was about you, I got some help from the adults around me."

――――

"So I try to help you, even if I hate you. I don't know what to do, but you're still too lovable to refuse your hands around me."

Saying, Subaru stuffed a step, a distance from Mary.

Seeing that shrinking distance, Mary shivers her shoulders frighteningly. As it was, Mary looked up with anxious eyes, Subaru caressed his head inexorably.

Don't strangle that thin neck. Present a different solution to Natsuki Subaru.

Mary is a child who doesn't need to die. And -,

"Please, Subaru... trust us, Mary"

"-"

Subaru strokes her head and Emilia hugs her immobile Merry from behind. gently wrapped in her body, Emilia cheeked at Merrie, who chewed her lips lightly,

"This sand tower is too narrow for you to decide something big"

――――

"Get out of here, in a wider place, and give me an answer. We'll work really hard too."

It's not educationally good to spare feelings without a place to go in such a closed space.

Even if I chose the words, Emilia told Mairi in kind words, sincerely, that in Subaru I could only think of such a way to say them.

――――

take it, and Mary, many times, let her gaze wander as she thinks, before

"Elsa's, I... I don't want to forget, wow"

"Oh, fine. Don't you need to forget who you like? It's just, well..."

So I cut the words, and Subaru saw them in The Book of the Dead, I think of the beauty in black.

What a strange impression. She remembers feeling like she saw it close to her, even though she had no contact. To the recollection of such an opponent, Subaru caresses his belly unconsciously for some reason.

"- I hope you don't just imitate how you do it, even if you like it"

Yes, I asked for it without help.

- It wasn't until after plenty and dozens of seconds of silence that Mairi was powerless, leaving me lost, and still snorted at me.
