- I'm here.

With his eyes firmly closed, Subaru endures by eating and tying his teeth to the fingertips of the severe pain he will visit.

But the determination to that tragic,

"... Huh?

Despite what I said, I never brought any modulation to Subaru's body.

"... Hmm"

Svalbard raising his face and making sure there are no anomalies while touching his chest. Its front, echidna to reassemble her legs, faintly hissed the eyebrows of a neat appearance, unchanged from a few seconds ago.

I hesitate to ask her, but there is no noticeable change in the way I look at this one. Breathing, manipulation, together with normal. anticipating the worst possible, gazing around her mourning chest, but

"I don't know if I can live up to your expectations, but I'm not very confident in the size of my breasts. Around Sekumeto and Minerva, you could have tasted physical defects such as heavy and stiff shoulders... just a shame to be curious"

"... I'm not looking at cancer for that reason. No, more than that."

Echidna spins the word as a matter of course, and responds with the thought stopped. Subaru put his hands on his mouth and killed his emotions diligently from his nearly trembling voice,

"I... I go back in time when I die and start over the world. I'm doing Back to Death."

"I heard that. And I was reading it before I asked. Well, that's a rare situation."

Blatantly, Echidna digests and snorts off the facts Subaru has told her.

But her attitude was the anomaly for Subaru, which should also be called the Blue Sky Thunderbolt.

- I said it, but at the end of the day, no matter how hard you try to keep your heart strong, the demon hand of the inevitable punishment makes even that determination break easily.

Breaking that contraindication and Subaru's own, or the heartbreak of his enlightened opponent, had become an indelible trauma and entangled Subaru.

Therefore, for Subaru, it cannot be done with an imitation like 'try'. Without Echidna's backing, I wouldn't have been able to butt in and push off my last decision.

It was such a big decision. That's so light -,

"How come those hands don't come out...?

"You also sound as if you're sorry you're not coming out. And you're sorry you missed your chance to kill me."

"I don't mean to... Huh!

"Even if I know. If you don't loosen your mind, you'll be pushed this far."

Ignoring Svalbard's mood swinging by the shock, Echidna doesn't break my pace only. Couldn't get enough of her frustration like that, Subaru pounded his tongue and then sharpened his sharp eyes even sharper,

"Answer clearly. You, no matter how many times you say I'm 'back to death', those hands here... no witch hands? Is that what you want me to think?

"You understand that's a witch's hand.... Oh, yeah. This is my dream, my castle. It's my dream I saw while I was dying. I won't let anyone in without permission."

"Can we make a commitment?

"It's a cautious thing. - I'll make a commitment. The only witches that can exist here are the six witches: Greed, Ravage, Lust, Arrogance, Anger, and Laziness. There's no room for 'jealousy'."

A powerful echidna response to the subaru you push.

Subaru, who receives it, once stuffs his breath, and then, for a while, weakens firmly on the chair after silence. Drop your shoulders, let your face down, and exhale a long, long exhale,

"Oh, really... Oh... oh..."

――――

Covering his face with his palms, Subaru just repeats the same words. Over and over again.

Make sure. Don't let go. Like a scratch.

Because it's all the first time in this otherworldly life that Subaru can be freed from the witch's fingertips and speak of the back of the contraindications he's been holding.

"You look a lot more emotional."

That's what Echidna says as she watches Subaru flirt with an endless wave of emotions, thinly loosening her lips. She threw her fingers through her own gray hair,

"That's all I've been bothering you about, I guess. It was so paranoid about love, so it's kind of inevitable."

"I'm sorry, I do have a little something to put in. Calm down.... Hmm, calm down. I'm calm, so I want to talk to you about some things. There's so much we need to talk about."

Restrictions on mouthing 'Back to Death' don't work.

If you think it took me a while to take that fact, now your mind is too far off after accepting that fact.

What you have had so far, what you have now, the sense of liberation that allows you to put them in your mouth - a glimmer of hope plunges into the sense of obstruction that was a blockage. However,

"One, you're making a mistake."

――

"Surely I cannot intervene in this castle of mine with the hand of the devil that binds you. So I can see how distracting it is that you can disclose secrets that you have never been able to reveal to others. But... it's a different matter of whether I listen, cooperate or advise you conveniently from your situation?

"Ah..."

and words and deeds that would allow him to shower cold water into Subaru's heart, which had thrived until then.

In front of Subaru, who holds his mouth, Echidna is a natural mouthed face. In that unexpected response of hers, Subaru cannot hide the colors of perplexity and dismay when it comes to.

Leaks a noise from his mouth that doesn't say "ah" or "try" and makes his gaze wander.

The light I thought I saw leaves me at hand with the sense of liberation I expected to see through the end of the line. I don't know what to do, and I don't even know that.

"If you look like such an abandoned child, I'll be in trouble, too. I'm not going to ask for anything that hard."

Saying, she slaps the white table three times with her stretched fingers as she tilts her neck with a troubled face. When she is followed and sends her gaze to you, her fingers tapping the table point to a point. - Unhandled, subaru fed cups.

"You were invited to a witch's tea party. If you're going to blossom into a discussion at a tea party, shouldn't you be the first to prove that you've been invited?

"... eh. I know, it's hard, you."

"I thought I pointed it out at the beginning, more clearly than ever."

In retrospect, if you ask me, Echidna did leak her displeasure that Subaru did not read the mood of the Tea Party and was furious without her eyes on the cup.

In return, Subaru's heartbreak is too great.

"Damn, I get it!

When you snatch the cup on the table to snap, you pour the swaying amber liquid into your throat all at once. Time should have passed since it was poured, but you haven't lost sight of the right temperature. Should I say that was just what would have been served at a witch's tea party?

I don't even know what it tastes like. Subaru brutally wiped the droplets that convey the edge of his mouth with his sleeves,

"Come on, we drank up. Now you're willing to admit me as a participant in a tea party?

"When you drink my fluids so vigorously... yeah, your body lights up"

"Wow, I forgot -!

Subaru caught on a Donna tea trap caught even at the first tea party.

I put my hand on my mouth and delightfully watched Subaru vomit, then Echidna carved a smile into her elaborate beauty, "I'll admit it,"

"The Tea Party door was opened to qualify your question as to why. And you're a fine participant with a mouthful of the witch's offered tea. As Lord of the Tea Party, I have a duty to welcome you. - Come on, say it."

smack his hands small, and Echidna shimmered those eyes with curiosity,

"It's also a blessing for me to haunt my head to give an answer."

- The beginning of a tea party, rather than the beginning of a Q&A.

Witch Echidna, with immense knowledge, thanks to a book that becomes "Knowledge of the World".

It is all the more beneficial to be able to verbalize 'back to death', which no one has ever been able to reveal, and the information obtained with it, without any problems.

From the mouth of Subaru, the person who can approach the core, who preceded it, overflows all sorts of questions that have been futile and sent forward just to ask. The first thing I cut off my mouth was:

"What's causing my 'Back to Death'... is that supposed to mean 'Jealous' Witch?

"Approximately, definitely with that perception. As for how Back to Death works, actually, I don't know that I wouldn't try to observe your death myself. I just can't take your life at my castle, so that's a condition that won't happen."

"Here, won't you die or die?

"Sequoia is a dream of foam, a temporary stopping tree that only draws in spirit. Do you actually think flesh will die because you died in a nightmare?

"If I had a very bad dream, I'd be shocked to death or something..."

In some creations, for example, there are many stories in which death in the world of dreams is reflected in reality. If you take that as an example, it doesn't seem strange that a witch's death in the spiritual world could lead to physical death.

"Well, it's a funny story to argue that you're supposed to die because they say you're not going to die. Anyway, you don't have to worry about dying here, no matter how stupid you are."

"The spirit is shattered and scattered back into the flesh, and you may become an abolitionist."

"If you're a living corpse, you're dead... you're better off just because you can't 'go back to death'!

Once in the loop originating in Wang Du, Subaru had gone as far as the spirit was on the verge of collapse. Were you acting self defensive instinct or self crushed then? It's what got me back in anger, being flushed into the situation without knowing for sure myself.

However, I can also instinct that being shattered here won't be something that can be healed with that kind of shock therapy.

"A situation where you can't even choose when to die of your own free will is a wish. I really decided it was best not to die."

"Even 'death' can be considered an unknown value as a tool to attract victory conditions. Nor can I merely observe my 'death' and store it as knowledge"

…… But you, in fact, you're dead and this is how you do it, so don't you remember when you died or something?

It is explained from her mouth that she is immaterial, dead. The fact that the dead Echidona's soul is sealed and trapped by the Dragon Volcanica.

"That's not right. Indeed, my flesh, the vessel that puts my soul in, is dead and lost. But the soul itself was sealed by Volcanica before it died."

"... I mean, my body's dead, but my soul's not. So you're saying it's a little different from the state you went through 'death' because the contents never died?

"That's what happens. That's why I'm so proud of you, but I'm so proud of your condition. It's not for anyone to forgive me for being able to observe my 'death', let alone taste it more than once."

"... that's a hell of a mazo statement to hear. I can't believe I'm welcome to die in a good mood. Not once."

I know it's no offense, but Subaru makes it easy on echidnas like intrigue.

There is an end to 'death' as a result of the action, and for Subaru those results are only a testament to the fact that we have always failed to achieve our goals.

There is no diminishing aversion to 'death', and that emotion has not changed since it was inexperienced. Although I don't deny that I feel somewhat used to being able to face it.

Echidna laughed small, "It's a terrible way to put it," to Subaru's sentiments,

"A state where you can redo your 'death'. No, I won't allow you the peace of mind of 'death'. I'm sure that power belongs to 'jealousy'. When did you find out?

"After all, I've been told things that seem relevant to all kinds of people. I honestly don't remember myself meeting that jealous witch in person... if you give me your name every time, I can imagine what" hand sauce "would be like in a limited situation."

Both arms and a black shadow that is starting to see the contours of the blurred whole body.

When you speak contradictory language, a contradictory being that hurts Subaru but behaves lovingly on the other hand. Hurt, love, that was a sadistic delusion without what a shard of gratitude it was for Subaru.

"I have no idea why people I've never met care about me that way.... you, you know what I mean?

"Come on, what do you think? Understanding her spirituality is unlikely to be anyone else as well as me. Even if I could, I wish I could."

"You're spicy against the 'jealous' witch instead of the statement that everything in the world wants to know. No, maybe it's natural when you think about the damage you've suffered from that witch."

Echidna at a height that seems transcendent and, in fact, unreachable to man.

The fact that we are shaping one world in this way, that it continues to appear after death but unchanged from its lifetime, the amount of knowledge that answers Subaru's questions without fail.

They are all proof that she is a transcendent, 'greedy' witch.

Even such transcendents cannot escape the emotions of good and evil. That's what Subaru can't help but feel as a lump.

"It seems overrated, but even when it comes to witches, the beginning is human. I can't escape the emotions of joy and sorrow, the likes of things, or the unsatisfactoriness of the person I deal with. Compared to other witches, I'm still very proud of my tolerance."

"Well, if you're so loud to people's tastes, you can't even satisfy your penis curiosity," he said.

"Right. So most of my existence is acceptable. I have reason to make an effort to show a certain understanding of its spirituality, no matter how little vulgar it is to be seen. I want to know everything, to be filled. But"

Cut the words, Echidna changes her expression when she faintly leans down.

A witch who always smiles sparingly and never forgets her eyes like observing this one's attitude. For the first time that echidna's mouth, a clear aversion - covered in the rage that conceived it,

"Only that 'jealous' witch is an exception. Only she gives up forgiveness or making that effort. I've never even seen such an unforgivable being, overlapping my lifetime with my post-mortem time, peek into 'The Memory of the World'"

"... being killed isn't the only reason, is it? Such an angry way."

"'Death' doesn't mean that much to me. Given that you can stay like this, yeah. It's just that she did more than that for me. I think every action is an effort to get results... but still, it will never be accepted"

Exhaling depressing emotions, Echidna meditates and shakes her neck sideways.

With the current discharge and one of its tricks, the signs of passion are lost from her expression to be blown away. It is the smile of the familiar observer that springs from later on,

"Let's not talk about that witch. As for your" Back to Death "principle, speculation can be made, but there is no certainty. And just so you know, it doesn't affect your 'death' in any way. In a way other than the cause, do you have any questions?

"When they say anything other than cause..."

Having been lightly affirmed the basis of 'Back to Death', Subaru instead haunts his head. Regardless of this power to dwell in oneself, the thought of its source, Subaru has a sense of usefulness or use of this power in exchange for pain.

It's a business venture, but there are a number of results that I couldn't have achieved without this power.

And that's probably one of the things we need to rely on in the future as well. Based on that,

"- Do you think this power of mine," Back to Death, "has a limit of times?

"Hmm...... I see. Knowing the power to redo" death, "naturally, it's a question of getting there."

As far as Subaru thinks, I have already died sixteen times in this world.

They were all 'death' with pain and loss, but with a taste of those circumstances, each time Subaru came back and started the world over.

Subaru who has grasped the results in that way, but the fear that was constantly threatened with the visit of 'death' - that is the natural sentiment that this may be the end of the line.

"It's obvious."

We've already overshadowed 'death' over and over again, which is supposed to end in one go.

It is a world that could not be cut open without its power that I cannot help but feel powerless when its power is lost.

Until that moment when he comes' back to death ', Subaru doesn't know if he'll end up.

A sense of despair that I have tasted many times, crushing in the middle of my purpose - what a horror 'death' is if at the end it all disappears in a plump interruption.

"This is just my guess, I'll preface. Since you have vague expectations about the principle of" going back to death, "I want you to allow me to speak to you first in a way that is consistent with that prediction."

"... oh, let me hear it"

"Your 'Back to Death'. presumably under limiting conditions, but the limit on the number of -"

Breathtaking.

Looking back at Echidna's eyes looking straight at this one, Subaru felt its tiny separation of words like an eternal length.

So much of a rushing conclusion - and

"- Probably not"

…………

"Your 'death' has no end. No matter how many times you die, no matter how many times you decay, each time your soul is allowed to go back in time and start over until you break the fate that brought about 'death'. No matter how ruthlessly they kill you, no matter how physically or mentally they smash you."

Echidna's conclusion, hearing it, Subaru, once, occupies his head blankly.

If you wash your head with those blanks all over it, the next thing you know, you start filling your empty brain with

"- Oh, yeah?"

It was a diligence to quietly take the facts told and control tremors all over the body.

Put your hand on your mouth, and the subaru that leans down is closing his eyes.

There is no disturbance, nor is there a glimpse of relief at being informed that there is no 'return to death' restriction.

Echidna frowned on that as she slightly questioned it,

"You don't see me surprised more than I thought."

…………

"For you...... no, I can override the absoluteness of 'death' for anyone. That should be something very big. Not to mention you're helpless, but the obstacle to standing is too risky. I thought it was more reactive."

"I'm sorry you had a bad reaction and couldn't meet your expectations......"

Infinitely retrievable - that was one optimistic conclusion Subaru had against 'Back to Death'. There was therefore no absolute surprise that it was affirmed by others. Not really.

"I swallowed it and immediately said, 'It doesn't matter how much you die or anything, now this otherworldly life is totally soaking gay! It's not going to be the conclusion of an asshole round like that."

"Are you getting the answer I was guessing and looking ahead? Out of the question, you're more of a mind-turner than I thought. Except that's good or bad."

"Every time I repeat 'Back to Death'... more importantly, every time I try to unravel it and feel the witch's presence close to me, I see its black shadow approaching"

When he spoke of contraindications, the first shadow Svalbard saw was one arm touching the heart.

However, every time the act is repeated, the shadow gradually changes the outline it shows from pale to clear, and now it even makes the whole body look blurred.

What would happen if that shadow were more clearly contoured beyond this?

"When that one clearly takes shape, that's the limit of my 'Back to Death'. When that shadow becomes real, I don't think I can reject it."

"Hmm, what's the rationale?

"Survey"

Echidna opens her eyes to two short letters.

Subaru cheeked on the table, looking up at its face from the bottom,

"In fact, it's just a feeling that the guy I'm seeing with that shadow knows. Suppose someone else can figure that out besides me..."

It's about a lunatic who's no longer around, who was heartbroken to taste the same pain as Subaru.

Subaru getting sentimental pain in the chest. Echidna looking at it narrows her eyes as she peeks into the back of this one, but then immediately shrugs her shoulders,

"I'm itching to not understand that feeling of yours, but roughly my guess affirms it. Your" Back to Death "has no limits. However, under limited conditions."

"Exclusive, Conditional"

"It's the witch's paranoia that makes you 'go back to death'. Unless the source of that delusion is turned down, you won't even be allowed to end it."

"The source of paranoia..."

"Kill the witch herself obsessed with you, or the witch will give you all her love... Either way, as far as I'm looking at you, it seems like the difficulty is extreme."

The murder of the "jealous" witch - it was the world's sorrow four hundred years ago, when the dragon, the wise man and Kensei cooperated and still failed to fulfill it.

It means we have to cross the former feat of simply sealing the 'jealous' witch of covering half the earth with shadows without being able to kill it off.

"I think it's easier for me to be loved..."

"As much as you know that's absolutely impossible, don't you?

…………

"Actually the shadow of a witch, I've had experience dealing with it. I know it's the only feeling you know, but I have to think so as I know what it used to be."

Bitter-faced echidna. Four hundred years ago, I don't know how certain there was between her and the 'jealous' witch, but that would never fade over time, on the contrary, it would have been so deeply rooted a problem as to deepen the ditch over time.

Subaru, who can't deny her words, also exhales out of her nose and slurs her back.

Echidna is right, the witch of 'jealousy' lets Subaru go - I can't find that hope in Subaru at all.

I never thought I'd ever be so blindly loved by someone I don't even know my face, I've never seen decent. Literally, to enough opponents to offend the world.

"It's a lot lighter. It's something I'll accept."

"- Am I?"

"I don't know what to say, but what we've talked about so far is a chunk of my reasoning. I can't justify it, and I don't think there's enough material to believe it."

Echidna with one eye on it seems inexplicable that Subaru is swallowing her opinion lightly.

Sure, and Subaru thinks so.

Subaru and her relationship is short, and more importantly, they are 'witches'. In view of that, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no single element to trust.

But...

"That's mine too, you know."

"... Survey"

Subaru realized that he was vaguely thinking that nature and what she would say would be believable.

Maybe it was because there was something in the short conversation that made her believe that when she discloses the knowledge she possesses, she is a respectful being for that knowledge.

Though there were several times when the desire for knowledge went too far and was wild or underlooked, and such shortcomings caught my eye -.

"If you'd only looked at it, you wouldn't be lying. - I think so."

"... is that your idea, too?

"Right. Well, if you ask me, I can't believe he's been dead sixteen times."

I scratch my head telling him to tear it up, and Subaru tries to soothe the air on the field with a masochistic story.

Hearing that, Echidna holds her breath. Then she reached for the cup on the table and carried it to her mouth to dampen her tongue before

"Perhaps you have a gift for speaking witches."

And, for the first time ever, he carved a smile of a different atmosphere into his mouth.
