Magical Comic Travel

"Originally, because of the dull atmosphere of the parting, I wanted to return with a more glamorous triumph..."

In Subaru's heart, the emotions of eagerness and shrinking were at odds.If we follow this road back to Aram Village, we will be able to guide the villagers to evacuate.

Of course, the people in the mansion will be included, which means we will meet them again.

"If it's a reunion after everything has been perfectly resolved, it can be a bit cool."

The crusade against the Witch Cult was uneventful, and the tasks entrusted in the capital were also uneventful.Most importantly, Subaru's mental preparations for the meeting were the same, and his mood remained the same as when he said it a few hours ago.

Subaru hadn't recovered from the mess he had made in the capital.In this state, he couldn't puff his chest out to meet Emilia.This made Subaru feel pain in his heart.

"Ahhh, I don't want to think about it! Why do I have to go back with such a mood? Since I went back to help, I should be like a prince charming. Although Dilong is black and his identity is not a prince or something, it is also It should be more upright..."

to fight.Didn't Wilhelm say that?Such will is not limited to the battlefield.In various situations of life, the power to revive the heart that has been frustrated is very important.

"Is that so, Mr. Wilhelm?"

"Mm? . . . Yes, exactly."

Subaru asked Wilhelm who was walking a little ahead for an answer, and the sword demon nodded after a moment of hesitation.

Then, Julius, who was watching their conversation, sighed. "Don't disturb Mrs. Wilhelm too much. It's only natural to have your own thoughts in your heart, but shouldn't you be more calm?"

"After all, this idea has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"Didn't you settle for this matter because you admitted your mistake?"

"Reason and emotion are two different things! Really, that's right. In the end, that's the same thing!"

Hearing Subaru's loud self-mockery, Julius tilted his head in confusion.

"Ah, this, that. Maybe I have something else I have to say to you." Looking away from Julius who was walking beside him, Subaru stammered and pondered his words.

In order to get rid of the source of discord in his heart as soon as possible, Subaru tried his best to find the right words.

Ahead, the forest path stretches into the distance, and from the calculation of the distance, the village of Alam, which should have been in sight, seems to be far away.It's as if they are specially providing time for them to talk.

"When the streets met, they should have agreed with each other and brought up the previous matter... But, sorry. I still can't fully digest this fact."

"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that I don't think it fits well. Just because of this, it will affect the judgment when making instructions."

"In this situation where unity is necessary, I also feel that it is not okay to have a grudge in my heart. So..."

Facing the silent Julius, Subaru continued the conversation that he could not get to the core.

"You, were you listening just now? I'm the only one chatting—"

Subaru, who had been staring forward because of embarrassment, and was talking nonsense, turned his head to Julius at this moment.

At this time, there was a strong wind.Ang covered his face with his hands because of the sudden storm.The unexpectedly strong wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers, blowing bangs, Subaru was surprised by this inexplicable situation for a moment, and then noticed it.

The long line of earth dragons disappeared, leaving him alone.

"What—!" Subaru noticed the abnormality of the situation.However, I don't understand what happened.

Holding the reins, Subaru looked around intently.The surrounding scenery has not changed much from before, and he is still in the middle of the road with forests on both sides.The only difference from before is that there is no sign of the friendly army, only you stay here.

"No, it's not just me."

Pulling on the reins, Subaru, whose body was stiff, was still sitting on the ground dragon—Patrash.You can still feel Patraxiu's hypothermia through the dragon saddle, which means that this mutation can't isolate the existence that comes into contact with it.

"In this case, is it a teleportation that interferes with the space...?"

Separate yourself from your companions in the blink of an eye.The only way I can think of is this.The scenery in front of Subaru did not change.In other words, it was someone other than Subaru who was transferred.

Moreover, after Subaru was isolated, the only ones who could benefit from it were the Witch Cult.

"Damn it! This is not the time to stand still, Patrasho!" Regretting his slow reaction, Subaru flicked the reins, causing the earth dragon to run.Patrasche let out a roar, stepped forward with his strong limbs, and accelerated in one breath——Subaru tried to escape the isolated situation at the moment with the speed of breaking the wind.While running, Subaru kept his eyes on the surrounding scenery, on guard for an attack.

If Subaru's speculation is correct, a new 'sloth' may appear at any time now and attack him with the 'invisible hand'.

However, the reality was contrary to Subaru's precautions, and there was no sign of the 'invisible hand' appearing at all.While feeling suspicious, Subaru felt uneasy about the way Patrasho moved.And the cause of the uneasiness was the same as the doubt.The reason is that after running with all his strength for tens of seconds, there was no change in the scene at all.

This situation cannot be explained by spatial transfer alone.Subaru recalled a similar experience in the past.

"It's similar to Betty's infinite corridor. But there is no door here?"

"Damn it, did you just say that you don't have to worry about being alone?" Subaru looked around, and he clicked his tongue impatiently at the unchanged scene.

"Hello! Is there anyone! Is there no one! Give me an answer! Is there anyone—!" Subaru regained his energy and shouted with all his might.

Even if the worst happens and the enemy rushes over upon hearing this voice, it doesn't matter.It's better than doing nothing to reduce even one enemy from rushing to your companions.However, Subaru's thought also fell through, and none of his companions or enemies responded to Subaru's call.

"Stop, Patrasio."

Following Subaru's instructions, Patrasche slowed down and finally stopped.At that moment, Subaru was a little afraid that the opponent would launch an attack the moment he stopped, but there was no sign of that.

The forest is eerily quiet, only the sound of wind and insects can be heard.With such a huge army, the breath of life disappeared in an instant. Just like this, it was enough to make people feel extremely lonely.

"No? This feeling is different." At the same time as he thought of this, Subaru suddenly raised his head because of the real sense of disobedience in his heart.

The scenery didn't change.However, if he pricked up his ears, he could hear the cricket's chirping in addition to his own heartbeat and Patrasho's breathing.

"Patraxiu's 'protection from the wind' should still be in effect. Originally, it was impossible to feel the shaking or the wind. Then, where did the wind come from?"

"The moment the gust of wind blew, what happened. No, the timing of falling into some kind of trap should have been before that. If it wasn't an attack, the most obvious thing would be... the scent of flowers?"

While realizing this, the scent of flowers that I had ignored so far began to invade my sense of smell.The body instinctively rejected this unusual fragrance, and the dangerous fragrance made Subaru hold his breath.
