Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

Chapter SixSixty-Two: The Sound of Collapse

- The white world peels off and the colored world on the other side of it is reconfigured.

Huge, rough, overwhelming paintbrushes of God color the world.

It was like being trapped in a colorless space and seeing the world painted with color from its inside out, such a strange mood.

I can't believe I've heard of God creating the world in seven days, but seeing this sight makes me wonder if God didn't spend seven days assembling building blocks to shape the world and paintbrushing the world on a marauder canvas.

- Odo Ragna's rocking cage. Alternatively, 'Corridor of Memory'.

The presence of Natsuki Subaru is stripped away from the hyper-dimensional different spaces so called.

Leaving the unrivalled space of this world, the fragmented consciousness gradually unites, little by little, and the self of self is reshaped -,

"- Subaru"

"Mmm..."

Groaning at the call, Subaru opens his lid remembering his thirst.

Blurred vision, blinking a few times and focusing on the world, I realize I'm keeping my ass and back in a hard, cold sensation. Somewhere, they must be sitting on the wall.

Soon afterwards, I could also notice the signs of existence in front of me.

――――

On the front, peeking into Subaru's face was Beatrice, a girl who filled her characteristic tattooed eyes with worry - a flashy dress fit for her cute looks.

In an eye of intense concern, Subaru realized that he had returned from the 'Corridor of Memory' to the original world, inside the watchtower.

"-"

"Consciousness? Are you sure it's all right? You should make sure you don't inadvertently lose your memory. Do you know anything about Betty?

Petapeta and Beatrice try to palpation by touching Subaru's face and chest.

I don't think it's something I can tell by touching it, but I'm glad to be worried. In that mood but staying, Subaru was messed up on his cheek and replied, "Rajblablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla".

"No problem. He said he remembered. My memory is safe, and I haven't forgotten about you... Beatrice, I haven't forgotten about you properly. And everyone else, of course."

"... Well, I commend you for calling Betty's name the first time"

and Beatrice, who was squirting Subaru's cheek, loosens her eyeballs to relief when her name is called. Subaru also loosened his lips to that reaction and somehow stroked Beatrice's head.

Subaru takes a deep breath as he feels his eyes narrowed Beatrice accept it, making sure his memory, its survival.

Although I assured Beatrice that I "remember," it's hard to get that certainty.

Louis Arneb, Bishop of the Great Crimes of "Rapture," which I encountered just moments ago.

I'm sure she was a monster who ate a large number of 'memories' and 'names', but because Subaru didn't know in what way the power of eating those memories would be exerted.

I'm not sure if I actually need to bite, just declare 'eat', or if more complicated procedures are required. - It is the promise of the power of this hand that the more complex the constraints, pledges and conditions, the greater the power gained. I want to be mindful.

Either that or those conditions are not met in the 'Corridor of Memory', which Subaru does not know. In fact, he had physical contact, he was bitten or licked in the arm. If that was the condition, it would have been done beautifully by being flushed by the atmosphere.

Therefore, there was a good chance that the memory would be left in a bug-eating state without conscious symptoms -

"- Probably, I'm fine. Promise and love are all in this breast."

If I think of Emilia, my breasts are pounding, and if I care about Beatrice, I want to stroke her too. My sincere hope for the safety of my people is also proof that Subaru has not lost his present self.

If we don't just let this go, at least we don't expose ourselves to the same ugliness as before.

- Natsuki-kun, are you back?

And, in his chest, his voice slipped into Subaru's tympanic membrane making sure he didn't have any missing memories.

When you look up, it's Echidna stroking her light purple hair that comes to Subaru, who puts Beatrice aside. Subaru slowly realizes what she looks like as she walks over.

"... Emilia, what about the guys?

"Okay, you don't seem to have lost the power to look around properly. Do you remember what you were going to do until just before?

Echidna asking like a lot, staring back at her shallow eyes, Subaru understands the shadow he wants on the other side of it - a few, not enough company.

What an adorable story, hidden in the shadow of many bookshelves present around, in the library. On Subaru's knees, he touches a closed black thick fitting and exhales.

Members who are now remaining on this occasion, it is -,

"Beatrice and Echidna and, Mary......?

"If I'm your brother, will you finally wake up? He's been so harassed, he's probably a sleeper."

"A sleeper..."

With his hands on his hips, Subaru holds his head to Mary, an outraged bareback.

He managed to calm his mind and Subaru tried to figure out what was going on.

Indoors, I don't see Emilia or Lamb, Julius and Chaura.

Only the three aforementioned and Subaru, if I say so, are the four non-combatants. That situation alone is more than funny enough, but it's even weirder...

"Right after I open the book, that's not the occasion, is it? How long have I been in consciousness?

"- Maybe an hour. I didn't feel like there was anything going on in Subaru because the book was only a few seconds away."

"An hour..."

In response to Beatrice, Subaru understands that there is no great discrepancy between the time he spent in The Corridor of Memory and the real time.

Everything is still different from previous challenges to The Book of the Dead. That 'corridor of memories' is certainly somewhere, and the time spent there does not deceive either.

I ran into Louis, Louis took my heart, licked me, and denied 'Natsuki Subaru' in an attempt to strangle her - which was rejected by gentle and harsh words.

It's not bad to think that that time wasn't Subaru's convenient dream. But as a matter of fact, you can't miss the fact that a finite amount of time has been cut.

"Emilia, why aren't you with me?

"While you're literally immersed in the book, there's been a lot of variation here. The four of us who are not here are rushing around to deal with it."

"Anomaly......?

"It was Shaura who first noticed the anomaly. You might say it was a sign of the guardian position of this watchtower."

and so on, and although the tone is light in content, the voice color is not as mild as its content. Echidna replies to Subaru's words as he seeps the impending sense of urgency into his voice.

She showed by hand the entrance to the room, the stairs leading downstairs,

"Shaura said something was coming from outside the tower. She was quick after that. When I went to find out what caused the anomaly, I didn't have time to stop it and popped up..."

"That's what that cool brother went after. Meanwhile, a silver-haired sister and a maid of honor said they were picking up their sleeping sister."

"So did all four of you leave this place? - Honestly, I miss you, but that's the right answer. Especially in this situation, I don't want to create a body I don't know where I am."

In response to reports from Echidna and Mary, Subaru breathes in a confusing situation.

I am concerned about what Shaura has noticed, but I am grateful to Subaru for Julius trying to follow it and Emilia and Ram's actions.

If the blue-haired girl, Rem's physique, is protected, she can crush one anxiety material.

- It can happen from now on, in advance of the emergency.

"- Do you know what that reaction, Natsuki-kun?

――――

Second, Echidna raises a single eyebrow and asks the subaru of the contemplative expression. With that intelligent glance, Subaru was impoverished to respond only for a moment, but immediately shook his head.

There is no need to delude or say anything. He said I should just keep talking the awful words and get my head upset with my people.

"I'll tell you what happened in conclusion. - Reading Reid's book, the operation to explore his past failed. I didn't see the past, and it's gone."

"I couldn't see the past, could I? What the hell is this all about?

"I got in the way. - Bishop of the Great Crimes."

"-!"

I stood up for a beat and came up with the name in full.

Hearing the word from Subaru's mouth, Beatrice and the others look into surprise. The Bishop of the Great Sin word was also the first to be heard from Louis' mouth for Subaru, but I guess not for them.

"It's hard to believe by the looks of it, but the Bishop of the Great Crimes of 'bulimia' is in the book... in this case, there's room for doubt if I can say it's in the book, but you said you were in it?

Frowning at the thought, Echidna arms herself with a difficult face. I dwelt in her eyes with suspicion and more anxiety. That too, her anxiety is directed at Subaru herself.

It is more obvious than words that the spearhead of that anxiety is in Subaru's memory.

"I told Beatrice earlier, but I haven't lost my memory...... I'm going to. I haven't forgotten my buddy's blush, and my love for Patrash is real."

"I don't know why the earth dragon's name comes up there..."

I swell my cheeks and Mary gets angry at Subaru flow rhetoric.

Her anger is good. In fact, Subaru has a priori who lost his memory once. What a vague story with or without memory, and no one can prove a memory deficit without conscious symptoms.

- Except now only Subaru at this moment, I can't say enough about that.

"I'm glad you're worried, but I haven't forgotten anything. I can give him a heartbeat."

"I'm just wondering if that heartbeat is worth it...... I'm so confident. I guess there's some basis for that, huh?

"- Lem saved me from eating."

――――

Beatrice was the only person on this occasion whose name followed sounded effective.

So instead of Echidna or Mairi, who doesn't break his suspicious face, Beatrice opens her eyes to a completely intention-pussed form.

Subaru snorts deeply at Beatrice like that. - Her presence was the only reason Subaru raved that no trivial memory had been taken away by Louis.

In that place, the girl who inspired Subaru, who almost broke my heart, and made me stand up.

I believe so, that her presence did not give such a gap to 'bulimia'.

"Subaru, let me tell you more. That too..."

Look into Subaru's black eyes and ask for an account of what happened to Beatrice. However, at the end of the girl's words, a slight tremor - a tower - overlapped the feeling of shaking.

Wonder, no sign of the bookshelf shaking, but there was definitely an unnatural shaking throughout the tower. That's probably some sort of anomaly that hastened Chaura, too.

Beatrice therefore continued blinking only once.

"As briefly as possible."

"- As soon as I dived into The Book of the Dead, I was taken to a place that was white and nothing, not Reid's past. There's a girl named Bishop of the Great Crimes, named Louis. It sounds like Louis was talking about Odo Ragna's shaking cage or" The Corridor of Memory. "

In the tower, in the midst of a slight grunting tremor telling the soles of his feet, Subaru begins to explain what he has seen in the Book of the Dead.

The girl I met in the white space and the fact that the place was called the 'Corridor of Memory'. Intervention of a paranormal being with overwhelming power, called Odo Ragna.

They are a collection of words and events that do not make sense to Subaru, but they should be valuable information to the common sense and insanity of this world, to the facets who know both sides of it.

In fact, Beatrice groans profoundly at Subaru's explanation as "Odo Ragna......"

"Louis said something about how it doesn't destroy the world. Do you have any idea?

"Maybe Betty knows more about it, too. I just know it's the center of this world... where all mana returns."

I shake my neck to the side of the inquiry and Beatrice talks to me like that. She puts her finger in her vertical roll and keeps messing with that soft hair.

"All mana returns to Odo Ragna, where it circulates… in other words, may Odo Ragna also be deeply involved in the death and regeneration of the Spirit. That's why Betty and I can't say we had anything to do with it."

"Except we're special because of it. Existence doesn't go through Odo Ragna. In that sense, I wonder if we can maintain an objective gaze over Odo Ragna more than any other ordinary spirit"

"Better than normal spirits... well. That's what I'm talking about when you guys live longer than you look."

Echidna taking over Beatrice's words, Subaru is good at what she says.

It was a fluttering story, but it seemed true that Beatrice and Echidna were centuries-old beings.

I guess the very origin of that longevity seed is their spirits.

"I think Beatrice is more of a fairy than a spirit."

"... I wonder if Subaru told me that before. Ignorant Subaru doesn't seem to know, but the word fairy is not a compliment here. So, well, I can't be honest with you or be angry that you've been ridiculed."

"Mm, is that right? Well, excuse me."

Indeed, I also hear that abroad, the home of fantasy, fairylike beings have a strong image of bewitching and harming humans.

If the idea is applicable in this world, it makes sense that the fairy is speechless.

"I'm sorry. To rephrase, I meant cute enough to want to eat it."

"It's weird when you feel like eating and you feel cute in the same line!

"Is that right? Why don't you just put something cute in your mouth somehow?

"With that said, bad animals can accidentally put their babies in their mouths and bite them to death."

Beatrice shudders and gets scared by Mary's unwanted annotations.

All in all, once again, the topic is off topic. The important thing here is...

"- That, Odo Ragna's rocking cage. What a place 'Corridor of Memory' is"

"What a place to filter your soul, what a crown you put on me, huh?

"You mean filtering your soul... filtering, cleansing. Considering the role that Odo Ragna plays in the circulation of Mana, we can't even laugh."

Subaru agrees with Echidna again.

If you're exaggerating that, I don't feel like laughing at Subaru for seeing that physical space.

The souls of all the dead circulate by reaching the 'Corridor of Memory'.

So, the soul washes away dirt such as memories and history stained in the long stretch of life, and becomes even more so to gain a new life again.

"I think it's a convincing explanation. How Dead Human Souls Are Reused...... 'Memories' Washed Down There Become Books in This Library 'The Book of the Dead'"

"It's not like it's going to disappear somewhere, the fact is that the world remembers the dead. You're a poet, and if you look at this bookshelf, you won't be able to say it lightly."

The bookcase records everything that was laid down in this world and reached the 'Corridor of Memory'.

In other words, "Corridor of Memory" is a codification room for creating the Book of the Dead. A mechanism whereby memories shaped in the form of books fit into this bookshelf as The Book of the Dead.

And 'bulimia' works badly by working sideways on the memory and history of individuals who should be.

- That's who the power of "bulimia" is.

"If it's true, I'm on my own doing the soul filtration work that Odo Ragna should have been doing. So I've literally been feeding on other people's lives by putting shredded 'memories' in my belly."

In words, I can clearly see how disgusting that is.

Not to mention Louis affirmed it as a 'trial and error to be happy'. He said he'd stumble on every life and find the happy life he deserved out of it.

That's equal to the task of continuing to pull the tag until you get a hit.

As a result of gaining the right to draw an infinite number of labels, Louis said that his brothers chose the path to grasp happiness by feeding others. - That's what's scary about Subaru.

Louis' judgment is not. I don't think that's a special, off-the-box idea.

If we get the right to draw the label indefinitely, everyone will choose to draw the label until we get a hit.

So Louis Arneb's behavior is with the utmost legitimate human desire-,

"Even so, if it's normal, I know someone else will sacrifice it, and I don't think I can keep pulling the tag"

"Beatrice......"

"I know there's a sacrifice, and it's not sane to keep pulling the tag. So I wonder if there's room for sympathy for the Bishop of the Great Crimes."

Read Svalbard's thoughts and tell him that Beatrice is right.

When it's a ruthless split, that's the only way I see it that way. Beatrice leaned closer to Subaru's mood and just spoke for the words Subaru couldn't say.

Yes, there's no room for sympathy.

The circumstances in which it was placed or the lack of place may not have been the responsibility of the person in question. Even so, it was our choice to take the first step off and continue to take people off the road ever since.

Whoever it is, it must be rewarded.

"But it's a weird story. How could a book about that person when he was alive have led to such a lack of understanding?

"It's... a dead human soul is recycled in the 'Corridor of Memory', so a book wholesaled from it led to an ex-sale or something... no, I can't explain it"

Mary's doubts, plus Subaru's inability to provide a clear answer.

Why did Reid's Book of the Dead connect to The Corridor of Memory?

At least, Subaru, once before losing his memory, should be reading The Book of the Dead. I hear Julius read it at the same time, and then some of the loops he's already passed have had experience reading Mary's book.

But in that experience, there is no record of the reader's consciousness being flown into that space.

Then why don't you think there was Louis' intervention?

"But 'bulimia' didn't seem to have any idea of calling me. Even for him, it felt like I was coming out of the math... and there was no work in Reid's Book of the Dead."

- There's only one hypothesis.

In front of the conceiving Subaru, Beatrice said with only one finger up.

Staring at its fingertips, Subaru said, "Hypothesis?" Encourage ahead of words.

"Let me hear it. What possibilities can you come up with?

"Suppose the Book of the Dead in the library is a record book that captures what has been shredded from your soul in the Corridor of Memory. Usually reading this in the form of a book is the function of this library… but what do you think would happen if the records were used for other purposes?

"Put the memory of the dead in a different use? But that's what besides The Book of the Dead..."

"- Oh, I see, is that what you mean? That's clever, Beatrice."

When he hears Beatrice's words, Subaru frowns with surprise. But it was Echidna who struck a hand that made such a subaru a point. Besides, not only that, but Echidna followed by Mairi also put her hand on her mouth, "Sokaaa,"

"Maybe that's what this is about?

"Wait, wait, don't look like you got it. You hate losing, you. It's a good idea to discover a new side of yourself, but it's a perfectly acceptable position to be childish and honest and not know what you don't know."

"I'm not your brother's loser. I'll tell you what I know when I think about you.... that's what my red-haired brother is up there."

Push the stuffed Subaru with your hand and Maillie confirms that to Beatrice. Then Beatrice sighed,

"I wonder if it's Mellie's idea to hit it.... Reid, yes."

"Uh, I mean?

"I could not refer to Reid's past from The Book of the Dead. That's because there's no record of Reid Astrea in that book right now. Reid's records are now being used in a different way. - As an examiner, to recreate Reid Astrea in this tower."

"Oh!"

After hearing the explanation of the chewed up echidna, Subaru finally came to understand as well.

Then I see it's convincing. As a result of Subaru's reading of The Book of the Dead, it matches what happened without contradiction.

"I wonder if Reid's memory is used for reproduction, not viewing. So I can assume that Subaru couldn't read it earlier."

"And it also explains that yesterday I was devoured by Louis in The Corridor of Memory."

Until yesterday Svalbard definitely noticed the same Raid tactics as Svalbard now. As a result of trying that, I read Reid's book in the library and went to that white world.

In fact, Louis said the encounter with Subaru was the second following last night. He said he had eaten Subaru's memory in the first contact and was trying to flatten even the leftovers in the second encounter.

"But if you think about it, doesn't this book ever become Reid's offensive book?... or, on the contrary, a dangerous book that makes you 'bulimic' and unwanted Tyman"

"Right. Nevertheless, in an unexpected way, it can be said that Natsuki-kun's memory was lost, and that it was able to grasp it. Loss of memory was not part of the function of the tower.... because the trap of being made into contact with 'bulimia' would not be for the first time the aim of the tower"

"That's, well, yeah, right"

It is unclear whether the tower maker had assumed until the transfer in front of the imminent death trap. Perhaps this happened by accident, I would like to consider.

Otherwise, the person equipped with this tower could be the owner of a ruinous thought or a demonic evil character.

I don't remember Subaru, but it seems that Shaura is more afraid of reputational damage because she talks about it like she is the same as Subaru.

"Reid was reproduced and it was one of those 'blanks' books with nothing. So that 'Book of the Dead' connected directly to Odo Ragna's lap...... so, okay?

"So far, I wonder if any more hypotheses can come to mind. It's also a mystery why one of the" bulimics "was hiding out there. But I can only say one thing..."

A series of puzzling events surrounding Reid's Book of the Dead.

One hypothesis went through there. Regardless, there are questions that remain unanswered. But the Subaru and the others unfortunately didn't have time to consider all of that doubt.

To that evidence...

"- Echidna! Are you all right!?

Running up the stairs, one knight shows himself to the 'Tigeta' library. With the person in his eyes, Echidna looked back and circled her eyes.

"Julius, you're in a lot of a hurry, aren't you?

"Something unexpected is happening. He wants to hear what everyone thinks..."

It's Julius, the sturdy one who walks over here, answering Echidna.

He had his cheeks stiffened by slight tension and vigilance, but when his eyes met Subaru, who scratched his horseshit on the floor, he looked slightly at those yellow eyes.

"You woke up, Subaru. That's a shame. Do you know who I am?

"Right, you're worried about that first. Uh, are you...?

"- Yahari"

"It's a lie! It's a joke! You're Julius Euclius! What's so serious about your face? You're back!

"Phew. I'm kidding too. I want you to think it's a return to your unhealed childishness. - After this, let me tell you something a little less funny."

Gu, a subaru with a difficult face to interact with. She laughed at Subaru's reaction like that with her nose, and soon afterwards Julius tightened her expression.

As the word goes, I guess that means there are reports that are not funny.

"I'd also like to hear Subaru's report back from The Book of the Dead, but there's an urgent requirement. - I've been checking outside the tower to see what kind of anomaly Ms Shawla felt."

"I don't see that Shaura..."

"She is responding to threats from the outer walls of the tower. I just don't have enough hands."

The rhetoric I took around made Subaru stare at Julius. under that sharp gaze, Julius exhaled small, "I'm sorry," he prefaced,

"You guys would have felt that there was a slight ground. This is footsteps."

"Footsteps?"

"Oh."

And when Julius drew his jaw upon Subaru, who twisted his neck to the unexpected words, he accumulated a beat, and told them.

"- The warcraft that existed in all parts of the Augurian dunes is pushing us to this tower in unison. Ms Shawla is responding, but it's only a matter of time before she's pushed inside."
