- The first thing caught on the edge of consciousness was the continuous sound of dripping droplets.

Water droplets falling at equal intervals carve a constant rhythm, and every time they send a heartbeat into a quiet room, the consciousness that was sinking little by little leads to awakening.

The sleeping brain resumes its activity, and the nerves not even between starts feel the blood circle go all over the body. Turn yourself around, groan and try to wake your body up - I can't.

I can't take any other action than not listening to my hands and feet trying to get to the ground and rubbing my face on the cold ground. At the same time, if you try to rely on the five senses that have returned to you to explore your surroundings, all the sight in your eyes is smeared with darkness.

- They smashed both eyes!?

I try to come up with an answer that is sooner in view of my condition, but I abandon that conclusion by realizing that I have the pressure to tie my face tightly with both eyes before I fight that conclusion. I immediately decide that it is apparently a blindfolded condition, and I notice the anomaly of that condition late.

Instead of being crushed both eyes, this condition is blocking both eyes. If I add, it's the same reason I can't move, which is due to my hands and feet being tied tight.

The feeling of something like a thin rope was felt on the wrist, on the ankle, and it was difficult to even try to remove it with it in the back hand.

"Hey what...!?

Fortunately, the ape's voice is normal thanks to the fact that it wasn't bitten. but I can only talk to you if you can just put your mouth out with literally no hands or feet. And follow Subaru into this state.

It is also true that the person you would have included doesn't seem friendly enough to satisfy you with just chatting.

The puzzlement of the situation placed and the fear that the surrounding information will not be available at all. With them in his arms, Subaru kills his breath and runs his thoughts.

Organize your current state. Both eyes, blocked. Hands and feet, tied, not likely to come off. I can speak up. Call for help out loud? It's the mountain of Sekiyama that comes with a tied opponent. Anything around you that might detain you? It's hard to crawl around trying to find it. Pain in the right side of the head, pain that as soon as conscious began to claim the presence of a bump.

"of the head, pain......"

Being aware of that side headache reminded Subaru of what he saw just before he lost consciousness.

"Back to Death," he left the cemetery to pursue newly discovered facts and speculations to Roswar, where he jumped furiously at one of his unforgivable words, beaten down by Garfield, who was watching over Subaru.

No, I was twisted down with such overwhelming force that the word "beaten" was not even enough. I thought his head was smashed with just a blow of restraint and he sank straight into death.

"If I were dead, my condition would be 'Back to Death'..."

If that's true, Subaru's restart point is the right cemetery right after the 'trials'. Shortly before heading to Roswar's bedroom, it should be "Back to Death" that applies the previous rule that souls are drawn back to a room that just left an hour ago.

At least, as far as Svalbard's memory is concerned, such as the fact that he was being rolled around like this in kidnapping detention, only when he imitated a TV cartoon and flipped a shabby table, and his father magically threw him into the storeroom in the name of punishment.

It's a memory from when I was still in elementary school, so I can't believe I 'went back to death' that far, etc. And if there is no change at the restart point, Subaru comes to the conclusion that he was tied up like this shortly after 'Back to Death,' but that can't be the case, and there is one conclusion to come -.

"Dead..."

It's called the pain that lingers in the head, it's called the current situation, that would be the drop of thought.

I worked so much more brutality against Roswar. Even with that in mind, it is morally correct to be treated in this way. Though I'm not convinced by the emotions.

"- I don't know what's happening when Mei is placed."

And I heard voices coming down from above, as I predicted Subaru had thus made a distinction in his grasp of the situation. He raised his face and looked in the direction thinking that his voice had reached him, even though his eyes were invisible. And I know who they are from the tone of the voice,

"Garfield, huh?"

"That's right, too. I felt relieved when I saw how my nappies were doing. I beat you up a little too hard.

Called by name, Garfiel utters an apology for Subaru, who closed his sight. It's just that the tone of that voice wasn't accompanied by the sinking pain commensurate with the content, and "no way," he went on to say,

"I was going to stroke you lightly, but I didn't think you were going to die that light. I didn't know you were Emilia-sama's knight, so you bought it."

"I'm sorry you missed your expectations. I'm not a fleshman, I'm a brainy type of character.... where are we?"

Respond lightly to Garfiel around the mockery, then cut to the point. Hearing that, Garfiel exhaled briefly with his nose,

"Rest assured, you are not among the 'sanctuaries'. Except no cathedral, no cemetery, no house you're renting to your guests."

"Are you ready for a holding cell or cancer? Though there's nothing to worry about if you're ready, I said I have a facility for this hand... honestly, I'll pull it off."

"Bad taste complains to the guy who made it. In fact, can you complain to me directly?

Garfiel makes me express my dissatisfaction and seriousness. Subaru felt something catching on to his words and looked at him,

"In person, what do you mean...?

"That's just the smell of witches, you can't let them get puffy and cut them white. I thought we met in the cemetery. Otherwise, why does it suddenly smell like that?"

"We met at the cemetery...?

Something catches on to Garfield's story.

Graveyard. "Trial". Someone I met there. There is a blank space. I set myself apart from my parents in "Trials," and finally I went to a school building where no one was, and there...

"Witch......!

- I met Echidna and the Witch of Greed.

When the discomfort is followed to restore the sense of loss, Subaru regresses the presence of echidna to the brain again. The feeling was also in the previous loop, so peculiar that now that I remember it, I feel stranger about why I forgot again.

Perhaps it is the result of the 'conditions' given during the first encounter and the action they are taking, but the fact that they cannot be overcome even after the 'return to death' is surprising.

Even 'Back to Death', which brings back memories, does not have an effective blow against a type of manipulation that interferes directly with memory. This means that every time Subaru does' Back to Death ', he has to forget about Echidna and start where he remembers.

"No way, is that what Roswar said he forgot...?

I am aware of that with the resurgence of the presence of a witch in my brain, but I cannot help but think that it is a little too early to conclude it. Anyway, although I remember Echidna, I don't see any material in my conversation with her that might open up the status quo.

From the mouthfeel of Roswar, what he wants Subaru to remember should be something that alone reveals even Roswar's illegible intentions.

If only the gospel of his possession was correct.

"Shut up, you mean you feel guilty or you think of something."

"You're not a high school girl who's gonna die if you don't talk all the time, so shut up and think about one or two things, me. Now, one or two isn't enough to think about."

There's too much to deal with, Subaru. Not enough brain cells for one head.

About Emilia. About Rem. About Beatrice. - There are other things about the 'sanctuary', about Elsa, about the sincerity of Roswar, and about the 'gospel', while I want to get myself into the situation surrounding me around where the women's names line up with Zlari. And

"About Garfiel, or"

His persuasion and cooperation are essential elements in Subaru's contemplative blueprint of mansion salvation. In the defeat of Elsa, we probably can't prepare Subaru for more than him. It was with this eye, and with his head, that he actually tasted that his strength depended on him in the Battle of Elsa.

"... I do feel like I've had my head crushed whether you hit me or kicked me, but what happened around there?

"Ha. We talked for a while and finally got that topic out. Wow. I'm not even close to crushing it, I just snapped. I had trouble leaving him alone and dying, so I healed him a little."

"Cure... who?

"Is it besides me who could have imitated that right there?

It sounds like an inspiration to the self-esteem of the tone of his voice, and Subaru unexpectedly ceases.

Because I didn't even think that a conspicuous garfiel on the crude and crude side was fixing healing magic, etc. Subaru twisted himself still tied,

"My head, unlike its original shape, isn't it square or pointed?

"The next time I crush you, I'll do it with my hands supporting you to heal to that shape."

Ragged exhalation. Probably shrugging shoulders and getting a one-set response, Subaru only confirms that his body is at least taking off its dying state.

Then the next problem is Garfiel's thought of doing it,

"I feel different thanking you for healing me because you're the one who crushed me... you, what are you doing this for?

"I don't know what you mean by that."

"Look at the situation, I'm not complaining about that since I thought it was a legitimate decision to beat me down on that spot for your perspective. I ran out of bees, but there's nothing I can't say I'm not glad you stopped me, because it's a mountain job."

"Isn't it a complicated mood? I know how it feels to smash that nigger face, but Baba and I are in trouble for getting hit."

Garfiel seems to be in the same mood for Roswar. Most of all for Subaru and for him, there is not so little that he relies on the existence of Roswar that he is left to that emotion to trump.

As a back shield in this world for Subaru, it is necessary for the Garfiels to be administrators of the 'Sanctuary'.

However, it seems irresistible that Garfiel, who speaks of it, is the first to mention the crowd - hence the life of the inhabitants of the 'Sanctuary'.

At the same time, I feel something to snort at the Garfiel reviews from the relatives Frederica spoke of in the previous loop. In fact, he did not choose to go out with his sister, and what remained of the 'sanctuary' was to take into account the emotions of the remaining inhabitants.

"The presence of Rosewar is indispensable to protect that life, because Mr. Ryus and the others are important. If it weren't for him, who says" subhuman hobbies, "the life of the" sanctuary "where the inhabitants can't even go out, wouldn't they?"

"It's not like you're arranging embarrassing imaginations with a translator face. Who says that's such a sentimental reason? I can't go outside. I'm just here..."

"You think you can't leave when your blood frederica's out there, Gurf?

Information just purchased in the previous loop. Cut that card, Subaru tries to see how Garfiel gets out. but the reaction to it was harsh beyond Subaru's imagination.

"- Huh!"

The wind buzzes and the noise of a stifling burst next to Subaru's head, which is rolled at the next moment. The exploding sound of air echoes, and before the brain understands that that's what Garfiel stepped in at instant speed, the ground stepped on is crushed and the shape of the room changes.

The earth bounced to deflection and Subaru was blown away by the shockwave with a small scream. He rolls over the hard ground without even being able to take his passive as it is and is forced to stop him by crashing into the wall before the momentum to roll is gone.

The brain is shaken, the contents of the lungs are squeezed out by a clash from the back, and the beaten back of the head complains of severe pain. Subaru coughs and spills saliva from the edge of his mouth. to its appearance,

"Whose mouth did you hear, motherfucker? I said something extra, Frederica... No, there's no way he said that. When I broke up, I cut off my sister's edge."

"That doesn't mean I can actually cut the blood in my body with the Aya of the Word..."

"Even now, I'm uncomfortable with what I said. If you want to use it, use it. It's a more telling occasion. Anything else."

To Subaru, who groans but answers, Garfiel unwillingly works a sharp intuition. All I'm saying is that Subaru has been purchasing facts that he didn't know into discrete gaps.

Most importantly, the assumption is not out of line, but Dompisha's guess is that the thought is too much of a main road until we get there.

As if that is an unusually good idea, or even a 'verse of thought'.

"No way... you too... are you?

- The moment I thought of that possibility, Subaru's voice was no longer able to hide the tremor.

――――

To Subaru's inquiry without a subject, all that returns is the silence until creepy.

That silence, which would have been a few seconds in time, seemed to be infinitely equal to the time now Subaru though.

No response. Why don't you talk? Subaru's question now lacks too much specificity. If you don't know, make it clear you don't, even one of the kicks is better. If there's such a short-circuit reaction, Subaru can still get on with it.

Yet,

"Me too...... hey"

High shoe noise. Garfiel's footsteps slamming the cobblestone floor approached, and you can see him crouching right next to Subaru. Subaru lifting only his neck on the floor, possibly right up to it. He leaned over and let him strip his sharp fangs,

"Why did you think that, ah, oi?

"Stop saying that in such a way as to stir up that nasty feeling. I don't know. I'm telling you, me? Ba and light, you deny it... that's okay?

"I don't know if they say it in a crying voice."

Listening to the pleading Subaru's wishes, Garfiel tells him so in a pungent voice. Subaru who can rush for his unclear answer, whose insides are already messed up or screwed up.

I craved denial from Garfiel, who was overly conjectural. Yet what returns is a bunch of meaningful words that make Subaru support his hunch in the chest.

Beatrice, Roswar and his opponents, who have been regarded as allied factions, have come across one 'gospel' after another. Nothing surprising to Subaru now that a third person has appeared.

"So...! I thought you knew...!

"- Oh, you know what? I wonder where they noticed."

――

Stunningly clogged in the throat, Subaru draws Garfiel in his blocked vision.

Voice condition, disturbing exhalation. Everything is far from the way Subaru knows him so far. But I'll leave you with some thoughtful words. He won't change his distance.

"I'm surprised, but you're wondering. I've been a resident of the Sanctuary for a long time. Opportunities don't happen once or twice."

"But... you, you must have hated 'witches'. So much for overreacting... and yet"

"Ah, right. I don't like" witch ", I suspect that witch stinks, and Emilia the half demon has good eyes. But I don't even think it's a mistake. At least it's true what I wanted to know."

"I wanted to know, I mean..."

"- There's no reason for me to tell you that. That's right. Why don't you ask him? I don't think I'll be able to take that chance anymore."

Tell him to throw it away, signs of Garfield getting up. Then when he left beside Subaru, he apparently laid his hands on the exit - the door - of this holding cell.

There was a murmuring sound of wood doors, and Subaru said to Garfiel as he walked away, "Hey!" and speak up.

"Wait!... oh, what happens to me. I mean, what's going on?

"It's sweet that the bastards of Roswar are about to be killed. In the meantime, until we get results, he'll be held captive and treated like a house arrest."

house arrest, is a word I just heard the other day. That's from Roswar's mouth, too. The irony is too much that Subaru falls for the assault on him in the state he was supposed to be in.

to Subaru, where there is no sound whatsoever, Garfiel snorts,

"Let the rice be delivered in the morning and evening. It's not just a funny imitation. I'm sure you'll accompany the caretaker."

"Don't worry about that... I'm not doing it now! More than that, the result? You said the result, didn't you? What are the results? What are you waiting for...?

"The result is decided."

to Subaru's question. Garfiel told him to make a fool of himself this time,

"- It's the result of Emilia's" trials. "When I heard what he did to me, I got enthusiastic because I was trying to make amends."

- Garfiel left the room and Svalbard, left in the solitary confinement room, was sinking into the sea of thought.

I can't get out of my head the words Garfiel left behind when I left the room.

In order to rinse Subaru's stigma, Emilia seems to be excited and challenging the 'trials'. Apparently, the idea would be that with the liberation of the 'Sanctuary', we would be able to smear the scandals committed by Subaru with that handle.

Sounds like Emilia, the idea of not suspecting Subaru at all.

"But I was at that moment..."

Though exaggerated, Subaru at least earnestly tightened Roswar's neck.

He grabbed the human neck firmly with these two hands, blocked his throat with a forged grip, and tried his best to snap or choke his neck off.

Both arms tied to the back hand and not free, but I can see my fingers trembling in small pieces.

If you forget the fury of that moment, all that remains in your hands is the dark aftertaste of heat that tried to threaten the lives of others. The feeling of vomiting creeps up from the empty stomach.

Not to mention if the spearhead of his intent to kill was someone close to him.

"I don't know anymore..."

I don't know who to believe anymore, what to think, or how to move.

What is Beatrice's position? The 'gospel' in her hands. The days spent are.

What is Roswar thinking? What is the finished Gospel that he has? What does he expect Subaru to remember? The sincerity of standing too puzzling.

How do we get Emilia to break through the 'trials'? No, is it right to turn her to the 'trials' in the first place? Even the beginning, I don't know if it's the right answer.

Garfiel's thoughts, is he in possession of the 'Gospel'? Elsa's defeat will not come true without his cooperation. How can we take him out to the Mansion in a relationship that gets worse every time he 'goes back to death'?

What do we do with Elsa's raid, repel or evacuate? Why has there been a change on one day of raids in the first and second? How did that murderer know an escape route he couldn't possibly have known? Elsa's employer is. What does it take to repel? I can never forgive that woman.

There are other things about the formation of the 'sanctuary' and its purpose. An overview of the remaining 'trials' and why the 'trials' themselves exist. The purpose of Echidna sleeping in the cemetery, what can I do to see her again? At the end of the previous loop, what happened to the deserted 'sanctuary'?

At the last moment, what the hell was it that killed Subaru and devoured him?

"One thing... I don't know the answer."

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Painfully tightened eyelids remain visually sealed, and people can only find a place to inquire inside themselves unless they recognize the world.

Only mysteries and suspicions are stuck inside that self, so I mean, stuck.

And it's not just unanswered doubts that annoy Subaru, it's a rush for time that passes, even as we sink into unanswered thinking like this.

It's not certain with his eyes blocked, but Subaru's physical sense is likely that a day has already passed since the night he strangled Roswar.

The area is surrounded by dark, possibly hidden buildings in the woods, but the chills are noticeable even bearing in mind that the light source does not come in.

Even when compared to previous daytime temperatures, it has to be considered as sudden cooling. And it would be more constructive to consider it a night after sunset than to think so. If you go on and deduce that now is the night, the passage of a full day at least becomes apparent from time to time.

Natsuki Subaru has suffered numerous injuries, lacerations and serious injuries since the Summoning of the Other World. The treatment of injuries aligned with pine bamboo plums is also experienced and remembered in this body.

And in Subaru's experience, damage such as being crushed or cracked half of his head is clearly fatal, and I have to honestly say it's a miracle that he picked up his life without Ferris. How handy Garfield was, I guess.

Basically, if you're not dead, it depends on the strength of the healer, but it's a world where most wounds heal. However, the more severe the degree of injury, naturally, the greater the burden on treatment.

Physical fatigue and strength used to recover. In view of them, this time Subaru's wounds are not enough to allow him to experience recovery for a few hours after treatment has begun, that is, on the same night.

Eighty-nine or one night has passed. More importantly, it supports those reasoning that

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."

It was because an empty stomach that had been asleep for so long and had not put anything in it claimed to exist by continuing to ring in pain.

The carving of the passage of time, when uncertain, diminishes the spirit of Subaru.

How much time had passed since then, Subaru's detention had remained unchanged, and time had elapsed while he had been left in the holding cell for an extended period of time.

――――

I try to count my own seconds to the amount of blanks and make time, but while I'm counting for less than an hour, my senses start going crazy, and eventually my feelings break and I turn into a giving up view.

Now that I know the time, what more will it be? Because,

"You can't do this anymore..."

Six degrees already, meals are carried under Subaru. Two in the morning and two in the evening. If that's happening on time, that means three days have already passed. Three days after Subaru woke up - that is, after the fifth day after his arrival in the 'Sanctuary'.

This morning, we left the Sanctuary to reach the Mansion, and the estimated date and time of the Elsa raid is critical. Deadlines are overlooked at a time when that point has been exceeded.

In this case in the first place, Subaru misbuttoned at the first point.

I can't regret that I jumped overwhelmingly against Roswar. If he hadn't left it to his emotions over there, Subaru would have heard more of the core of the matter from Roswar, and more importantly, he would not have been trapped in this way by making his relationship with Garfield worse.

The result of leaving yourself to the heat of boiling emotions is thus the likeness of potato worms today.

Without fulfilling one thing to do and seeing the faces of those who wanted to protect them, I am frightened of exposing the incompetence and approaching the engraving limit.

So Subaru had already given up this' perimeter '.

"- Well, you did, dude."

The means to stop the tragedy that takes place in the Mansion were lost on the grounds of the lapse Subaru has made. That means the desperate vision of the survival of the four people in the mansion.

Kill Rem, Petra, Frederica, Beatrice, Subaru, knowingly. Keep the rosewar that did it so vocal.

"... that's shit, me. You're gonna die."

I want to die. If there is no change at the restart point and we can start over, Subaru can get back on that night and try again. Most of all, I have no idea what to start with, but it should be much better than this unusual ugliness. Much better, you should be able to do it. I have to do it.

"Otherwise, for what..."

Did you accept to give up and decide to see the end while chewing off your lips?

Subaru, who decided that rescue of the mansion was impossible and that this' death 'was inevitable, immediately self-determination and' return to death '- never let it happen.

It is true that the situation sucks and that an empty future will just await us, which means nothing to Subaru even if we can live as long as we do. You should bet on 'Back to Death' to rewind the world and make an effort to win the best possible future. But...

"Even if I go back without knowing anything, I'll just be Ami the original tree again"

At the very least, what happened in the 'sanctuary' after Subaru disappeared?

That's all we have to be sure of what happens to the 'sanctuary' beyond the sixth day. For that reason Subaru shouted so loudly that his back teeth were broken, and he swallowed the untrained into the mansion, which still could not reach, that he gave up this time.

If this is the fifth day, something should happen tomorrow.

For the past three days, I've only really visited Garfiel and the caregiver figures in this cell. The caregiver is oligarchy and just follows Garfield's instructions silently and I don't know who he is. I'm just wondering if she was a woman from the gesture of wiping Svalbard's body unable to move or feeding him a meal.

I was not given time to pry any further in an environment where I was being watched over every step of the way. Therefore, we do not know the identity of Garfield's collaborators and thinkers.

But this is where I can't find Emilia excited to help Subaru.

Perhaps it is seriously a secret place for the Garfiels, and discovery is also a difficult place to send a distress signal from Subaru's side.

In the first place, there's no point in getting out of here more than the fact that we're talking about the form of house arrest of Subaru between Garfield and Roswar.

"Long live Emilia if she can break through the 'trials' to help me..."

If the opposite is the case, then confidently, Subaru can say that he will cross the 'trials' for Emilia. but the vision of Emilia's side overcoming the 'trials' for Subaru doesn't come to mind at all. It is Svalbard's notion that there is too much underestimation of herself that I don't think her presence will motivate her that much.

In fact, the fact that the good news hasn't broken in in the last three days means that Emilia, like previous loops, will probably be unable to get over the 'past', whether she challenges it or not.

In other words, the situation is the mansion, the 'sanctuary', Subaru and Emilia, the stuck hummus. Once Garfiel told Subaru with anger, it was itself.

"After all, I..."

- We have to do something about it.

With this hand, Emilia, the Mansion, the 'Sanctuary', whatever the problems that arise, with only one weapon given to this body, let us overcome them.

Quiet determination. The evil of giving up, that's all that keeps Subaru alive.

Conclusions reached over and over again in a long time of thought. I nodded at my own heart, which I had already stared at enough with my fingers on both hands to count, and Subaru just waits for time.

- It wasn't until I remembered the feeling that my sleeping body would be shaken.

"-"

Someone grabs me by the shoulder and shakes me up, Subaru regresses from shallow sleep to reality.

Signs of saliva communicating to the mouth. I'm also starting to get used to the rather overburdened trick of wiping with my shoulders because I can't use my hands, wiping my wet mouth.

"Who..."

The reason it's a plundered voice is that it's asleep and I've crushed my throat by screaming too much.

I also promised to smash my throat with screaming no longer, and I'm not happy to be able to spend half my time ignoring the pain of spitting blood.

To that Subaru call, the person who woke him up had a short exhale. And

"Excuse me in the middle of napping, can you move, Mr. Natsuki"

"Ah?"

Because the voices he heard belonged to too many unexpected people for Subaru, Subaru cannot afford to make a foolish voice.

Did they get that Subaru surprise wrong, "I'll be in trouble," he said in a quiet voice, slapping this cheek gently with a flat hand,

"I'm coming to help you over a dangerous bridge, so please keep in mind. We're all sorry we ended up here."

Saying, cut the shackles and shackles that bind Subaru with a blade. hands and feet that haven't been free in a long time, while making sure of those feelings, Subaru brutally unblindfolded the

"Wow, your hands, your feet, even your eyes look painful"

There is a man in thin blurred and distorted vision who looks disgusted in an uncertain way.

It was just the appearance of Otto Suwen, a person who doesn't know why he's here.
