Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

Gasping at his breathlessness, Subaru realized slowly that he was on the green meadow.

From the ground where we reach the limbs, the smell of dark grass plunders the nostrils. Like a meadow sunbathed in the rain, an overturning natural atmosphere lightly enveloped Subaru's entire body.

Turning his neck, Subaru sees Echidna in the front.

As usual, she waits for her guests - Subaru - on a small hill in the meadows, side by side with tables and chairs to get ready for a tea party.

As usual. - Yes, as usual, yes.

"I think I have a lot to say and ask...... why don't we sit down first and have a cup of tea before we drink it up?

"... you think I'd look back on what I just did and still sit in that seat amicably? Not to mention, you think I'll do it according to the tea party?

"Even if it responds. You are a man who can give priority to reason who can pretend to be cold intentionally over his mad, forgetful instincts. Now, it would be more beneficial to have meaningful discussions with me than to keep my discussions away from me... yes, you would be able to make a decision on the inside, wouldn't you?

――――

Echidna doesn't break her spare attitude before Subaru pushes her voice into anger and kills her.

From above, Subaru, who is poked at a star, can neither positively nor negatively choose his attitude for words that mock Subaru as if the seed were a visible smallworker.

It's just not as cheap to be trampled upon as to follow the promise and the word.

"Echidna...... say so if you didn't mean it"

"Yeah?"

"Earlier...... tell me that your interaction with a lusty witch wasn't meant to be you. Say it, say it's bad. Say it."

…………

"He said he had no choice. It was unexpected, and it wasn't supposed to happen. Tell me so. If you say so... I won't blame you"

Echidna is right.

In order for Subaru to move forward, her knowledge requires cooperation.

But I can't forgive what I can't forgive. It is certain that Echidna used the witch of lust to trample on Subaru's 'sanctuary', an important place that Subaru must never trespass on.

So it was a necessary request for Subaru to forgive Echidna and respond to what she called a meaningful discussion.

"... if you think of what to say"

And in the moment now, you must have understood Subaru's inner weakness and stubbornness.

Unexpectedly, in such a way, Echidna shrugs, then sees Subaru waiting for a response as he bites his lip. Slowly, teasing with your fingers at the tip of your own gray hair,

"As you wish, that is the outburst of Carmilla, the sorceress of lust. I stopped, but I didn't have to listen to her. So I tried to get you into a trial, to cage you, to expose the part of you that I hardly ever wanted you to touch, and drown you."

――――

"Dangerously, you took it off on your own where it would take you during surgery. And in the loose void of Carmilla, who failed to contact the cage, he took back the lead and invited you to my castle. It must have been a shame to see each other like this now."

――――

"... and if that's what I said, are you satisfied?

Quickly, line up Subaru's desired reply and finally Echidna betrays it.

Subaru turns his gaze up silently and takes his sight off the face of Echidna, who made the inquiry.

"... what are you going to do, you witched me like that"

"Didn't Carmilla say? Because I wanted to save you from the" trials "and rub your heart out."

"That's not the true heart of a lusty witch. If he's right, that's the very weakness I wanted Rem to say. There's no reason for a lusty witch to favor me.... Yours, it's instructions."

"How dare you go so far from what you say so little... then the excuse won't make sense"

Lightly, Echidna stops talking and tries to shrug her shoulders. Then Echidna was on the table, carrying her own cup to her mouth and tilting it.

"As you thought, I pointed Carmilla at you, and it was my instructions to let her pretend to be the girl in your heart. It's more about Carmilla than it is about me being seen through the lack of time."

"... why are you imitating that"

"You'd be mad if I told you in the end. - Because that was the most efficient and most likely means."

Without any evil, Echidna continues in front of the disappearing Subaru of her expression.

"It was unexpected to me that you would be taken in at this time for the second 'trial'. Above all, I can tell you that I didn't assume that the contents would penetrate you so deeply, until I saw the actual state, to be honest."

――――

"Whoa, I want you to keep your eyes peeked when it comes to what you were peeking at 'Trials'. I think I said no during the first" Trial, "but this is the" Trial "prepared by the witch, right? I don't like it when people say that you have a bad personality."

"... go on"

"Whatever, I thought I was looking at you coming to the 'Trial' from the side. - If I keep letting you try" trials "alone, you won't be far away and you'll rub off..."

That's not an exaggerated opinion or anything, and it would have been true.

Not that Subaru hasn't seen his own underfoot enough to deny it.

The second 'trial' - now that there is no such thing as it is - and the many occasions, events and tragedies that have been shown off in the face of it. It was an excessive breakdown in the roots of Subaru's strength, solidity and misunderstanding.

"That's why I intervened. Rubbing it off is one of the consequences. I experiment with everything. That's because my curiosity to seek conclusions without ever getting tired of it continues to raise my voice. To satisfy that unsatisfied greed, I seek every outcome. - The result of you challenging the Trials and breaking them is no exception."

"Then that's why I intervened. If it was one of those things you wanted that I broke, you wouldn't have left me alone. If you get the results, you'll be happy with me, right?

"If that's one result, of course we have a view to take. … but I don't mean to do anything to get the results I want,"

"What...?

Echidna's response to the pursuit of Subaru, with her voice down.

Hearing that, Subaru frowned for the first time, for reasons other than anger, on this occasion.

swallowed the meaning of her words, and if it were to take a definite form, it would

"To refuse the consequences of me rubbing it off and disappearing... you mean, you prepared that situation?

"... as a result, there is no excuse for invading your important area. That's why if you want me to curse you, I'll take it. [M] Your anger is right, my selfishness is wrong. That's all there is to it."

Place the cup on the table and stare at Subaru, where Echidna is straight, under the hill.

There was no equal to the tea glare or playful emotions that had been shown earlier, and the witch of greed was relative to Subaru, with all the sincerity she could do.

I am overwhelmed by that attitude, by posture, by words.

Something like anger and distrust that had occupied my chest until just now, difficult to use as a word against Echidona, seems to me to have been terribly selfish and selfish.

As a matter of fact, Echidna's help - the resistance to putting the situation ahead into words that it was, is still deeply rooted, but without it, what would have happened to Subaru's mind?

It's not hard to imagine that on the cold floor of the cemetery, my heart was crushed, crushed, I couldn't even see the faint light in the dark and scratched out.

I can't say thank you. But I don't think he's the one who should be exposed to anger and curse. - That was where my emotions dropped.

――――

Svalbard rose silently, paying off the grass on his body, and went up the hill.

Echidna sitting in her chair runs a faintly painful color on her expression as she sees Subaru approaching. Even a witch who has spent hundreds of years trying to figure out what words Subaru is going to throw at him walking by, he can't help but read through.

The righteousness of intellectual desire. "The Witch of Greed". The fact that I could distort my expression that way to such an opponent now gave me just a little peace of mind.

"- Ah."

Subaru, pulling his chair, sits face-to-face in front of Echidna, who raises a small voice to his surprise.

I won't carry the cup to my mouth, but it's a sign of intent to get to the table for discussion. To Echidna, who sees this one with anxious eyes, Subaru turns away with his cheek cane.

"Donna, I don't feel like drinking tea. Let me have a meaningful discussion with you."

He swallowed the embarrassing emotions and showed the corresponding measure.

"After all, what was the second 'trial' like?

With his cheekstick on, Subaru asks without looking towards Echidna.

Take it, the front echidna moves diagonally forward, shifting the chair, as she tries to get into Subaru's view.

"What do you think it was like?

"Trying to roll it in smoke... aren't you? All of a sudden, trying to get an answer means the bugs are too good."

"I'm not even thinking so mean. Because I've done something to piss you off. I just want to hear some more of your voice, even if it means making a friendly confirmation."

It was a strong, whimpering word in the chest of the conversing person.

If Subaru had come to this conversation with a normal mind and without any feelings, he must have had reactions that upset him and clogged his words.

However, there is no way that Svalbard could do something like return her desired reaction in the current state of mind, and Svalbard responded briefly with only a small sigh,

"The source of the 'trials' was' Look Now at the Aribe '. With that pillow, the sight shown is what it is."... what's happening right now is that I've made a different choice from shaping the situation I'm in before I got here. "

The idea is that it's the same as a game format like Visual Novell.

A game where the player branches out the content and potential of the story by choosing a choice at the essentials. If you think big, it's not a mistake to say that even life is a magnificent game played in that format.

If a person faces a choice of something and chooses things of his own free will - and consequently wants a world ahead of which possibilities have branched off, then it is rightly 'life' itself.

"A world you shouldn't be able to see. For once, that's a much happier world than the real 'now', and you may regret that you should have. Maybe that's a much less fortunate world than the real 'now' and thank myself for being here now. - The original second 'trial' was to see such 'now' and different 'now' so that we could affirm 'now' that it should be right or something like that"

Succeeding to Subaru's words, Echidna gives a brief overview of the second 'trial'.

That hardly differs from Subaru's imaginary, 'trial' content. Only one thing, except that its content was only for Subaru, a deep and sharp piercing.

"- What I saw, a different 'now', is that really what it is?

…………

"I came 'back to death' on the spot when I died. So I've never even seen anything about myself after my death.... Before that, I never thought that the world was going on after I died.... No, I've been trying not to think"

'Cause I guess so.

Subaru 'returns to death' because the world has fallen into an irresistible jam. I have endured the feeling of spending my life by affirming that there was a 'return to death' to unlock the situation, rescue my loved ones and also Subaru to reach the best possible future.

The existence of the post-mortem world overshadows that premise of Subaru from its roots.

For the sake of stability of mind, and above all by believing that there is no 'world left behind', Subaru has saved the people of the 'world left behind' that may be.

So,

"Even after I die, the world goes on...? With my choice the world branched out and there was everyone in the world that I screwed up and took everything away that I couldn't protect...?

――――

"What do you think, Echidna?... Answer me."

Losing the option of turning away from his face, Subaru turns his begging gaze to Echidna, who sits diagonally forward.

Echidna silently, watching from Subaru, touched her jaw as she thought, then once, closed her eyes.

"I have to explain only one thing about the Trial."

…………

"The second 'trial', 'now', is a phenomenon that only showed the sights of the virtual world. Challenger to take the 'Trial'... in this case it's you. Projects to the details of your memory, on which 'Memory of the World' also extracts the people involved, the world, the atmosphere, even the mana that shape you, assembling the necessary information of the past, present and future to produce that 'present'"

…………

"I mean, that's 'unreal' well done everywhere. It's another dimensional reproduction degree from unsolicited imaginations and delusions, and 'that sort of thing' can happen as a temporary fact. It's just 'crop unreality'. I don't snort at the answer," Did it really happen? "

"Well..."

"Except"

To Echidna's explanation, Subaru looks up, finding hope. But to Subaru in the sight of the light. Echidna offered her palms, blocking the words,

"The details of your principle of" Back to Death "are unknown. I'm sure your" Back to Death "is at the hands of" The Jealous Witch, "but I can't stop wondering how" The Jealous Witch "is making you" Back to Death ". That could be the power to rewind the whole world to hang up your 'death'. Or maybe it's a parallel world, another world that doesn't know if it exists, a form of overriding 'you' to another you there"

"Ah..."

"If the latter principle is adopted, then a parallel world exists, and in that world, even after your death, a world without 'you' continues."

"Ya, the means to make sure..."

"- None"

To Subaru, whose words tremble, Echidna ruthlessly affirms and shakes her neck sideways.

Subaru, who opens his eyes and opens his mouth pompously to an end. Echidna looks sympathetic to Subaru like that and slaps the edge of the table with her fingertips.

"If there's only one way to be sure, it's to hear it from the Jealous Witch herself. But you've already realized the hard part, haven't you?

What Echidna is saying is the memory of Subaru when he actually faces' The Jealous Witch '? At the end of the tea party, "The Jealous Witch" welcomed Subaru out of the cemetery.

A true monster who took Emilia's flesh, tore Garfiel into eight pieces, and swallowed the 'sanctuary' itself in shadows. - Pretend to recall the revelations of its existence and doubts about its history.

"Yes... Echidna. Before, after this tea party... outside, I saw a witch in The Sanctuary. What was that? What was that?

"I get it, but that's The Witch of Jealousy. Though it was a long way from a real array. The flesh I chose in the vessel is immature, and most importantly, not a single seal has come off. With the lack of witch factors, there's no way the full season's power can be unleashed."

"That's a long way from the whole season... Huh?

Even a monster who killed off everything without even passing through a beastified garfiel and without a single scratch, he says, is not comparable to a real 'jealous witch'.

Four hundred years ago, how hell was the time when that witch was actually walking wide?

"As you can imagine, the hang-up that came out is this tea party. I can't even alle tie you up here with taboos. So he went mad with jealousy and was raging outside trying to clear up the depression he couldn't clear inside."

"You don't know it's gonna happen."

"Even if you didn't understand. It's the first time. I actually try that, and I guess that's the first time I've ever done that, to hypothesize. It's not unlike me, the witch of greed, who can't reach a conclusion until I actually see it."

――――

Only, Subaru loses sight of the word to Echidna, who does not attempt to break the bystander's stance. Blaming her won't do anything. Even if I know so, I have a toothpick.

If she's willing to do that, if she's willing to cooperate with Subaru, or...

"I don't suppose there's a good reason why I chose your lover for the vessel. It may have been somewhat tame because it's on the same half elf, but I don't think it's anything other than 'jealousy' for a big reason."

"Jealousy...?

"From a witch who wants to keep your thoughts to herself, what wonder is it that you hate and want to destroy someone who leans on your thoughts so enthusiastically?

Loving someone frantically means that you also want someone to love you just as much. And if that someone's love is not for you, running mad to point the spear at you can also cause a play called 'Love'.

So does "The Witch of Jealousy" continue to behave as though it were its incarnation?

"All your worries are only known by the Jealous Witch."

――――

"No matter how much you put your thoughts around, honestly, you won't be able to get to the answer. Neither that scene that cornered you, nor, above all, 'now that I don't know if there is one,' can be concluded."

"Well..."

Too much, all I could say was that it was a harsh reality for Subaru.

I wanted you to deny it clearly. Subaru has seen, there has to be a post-mortem world, etc.

If not, I wanted you to be absolute. Your solitude has cost you a lot.

Whichever was answering, Subaru must have been able to admonish, wedge, and remember the answer that came out, eating up his teeth, weeping blood, and stepping out of his feet while crying with his soul.

- And yet, isn't the answer too cruel that the answer doesn't exist?

Do you want me to live without being affirmed or denied, without wandering about the world?

I don't even know if I trampled on what I trampled on. Don't even let the consciousness you've abandoned make you feel what you've abandoned. If sin is a sin, is it a punishment to Subaru not to make him aware?

Has Natsuki Subaru committed so many sins that no one can forgive him?

No one can judge Subaru. I can't even fight the bullets. I knew that.

- But even Subaru himself, won't you let me do that?

"I think it's a cruel thing. But I think I'm gonna have to break it off."

Beated, to the wordless Subaru, Echidna utters such words.

He brings his neck in a slow motion, and Subaru sees Echidna so mouthed with empty eyes.

Echidna received such a Subaru gaze, breathtaking then in a serious face,

"The second 'trial', to put it polar, is the acceptance of 'now' as' the only thing 'and the partition of' now 'other than' now 'with something from a different world that is never within reach"

――――

"As a reality, there will be something harsh about you that might make you feel stronger than any other challenger. Still, switch."

"Toggle...?

"Your choice may indeed have been accompanied by many sacrifices. There must have been a lot of things you've left behind that you couldn't get back. But it's sad that you're just counting what you've left behind, what you've lost. It's empty. It's hard, don't you think?

"If it's just a psychology, it's not for you.... what kind of experience can I do with the usual counseling, dude?

Echidna's words are heartwarming, comforting.

That could have been one of the effects, if the wound was shallow, the sin department that committed it was light, and it was against an event that seemed more likely.

Or I feel like I've been saved, and that's what I might have been able to 'switch'.

But...

"The reality doesn't change anywhere because of what I've done, what that bump can't do. Everything I've spent was built on sacrifices that I thought I could erase, but that's not going to change the reality."

"... you're right"

"How can I affirm myself in that situation? What can I do to forgive myself? You tried to reach out, I even bounced the salvation. I don't want to be saved by the Lem of Things. I'll take the real lem back, sooner or later."

inherited his breath, Subaru distorted his face into a squeaky,

"- Is the lem I'll get back one day really the one I want to save?

――――

"Inside the lack of that answer, the octagonal blockage in my mind doesn't change.... you say you can even do something about it, break it off."

――――

"You tell me to live by counting what I could save, rather than by counting what I couldn't save... do you tell me that?"

Of all the words Echidna wants to say to Subaru, there is some hope ahead.

Even for Subaru, a word that must have been a hope.

- It's just that Subaru's depressed darkness isn't shallow enough to think of it as hope.

"With such a common psychology, you tell me... to resist... eh"

That's what I'm gonna say.

――――

"I'll tell you that."

To Subaru, who shakes off his words of comfort and speaks up in the abyss of despair, Echidna said.

Slowly, to include the bite, Echidna looked straight at Subaru and said.

"You should count the many you could have saved rather than counting the many you might not have saved. Now, on the journey you've made here, I see it."

"What am I... what am I..."

"To this day, I see that you have survived with all your might, with all your spirit. So I can say. I can tell you."

――――

"There has never been a single thing in vain on the path you have taken so far. I have no right to speak to anyone about your whole spirit being 'missing'. You threw everything you could and walked all the way to this moment. - That's something to be proud of."

Echidna's sincere words strike Subaru's empty chest. Inside the carrot, make something sound. - But it's not enough. With those words, I won't stand up.

It is true that Subaru has taken away much, even though it is said to be proud. Something could have been done. Anyone who isn't Subaru did better on the same terms. Yet it was Subaru who was on this occasion, so he couldn't save many.

That is Subaru's sin. Subaru's crime department. It's a sin that Subaru should admit and buy.

"No one can forgive me."

"I'll forgive you. I know that, I know that."

"No one can judge me."

"I'll try. I know your sins, I know mine."

- No one can affirm me.

"If you can't affirm you, I will deny you your unforgivable self."

――――

"If you affirm your sins, I will deny yours."

Echidna, who eats away, tries to shake off every word of Subaru.

Why is this witch so strong that she denies Subaru's sins?

Why is this witch so repetitive and trying to pay off the darkness of Subaru's heart?

"How can you... try to do something about me so much?

"... don't be a little too mean to make me say that out of a girl's mouth"

Echidna, who had never spoken before, clouds her words slightly there for the first time.

And with a slightly red face, Echidna coughed,

"- Would you trade the contract with me, Natsuki Subaru?"

It was a voice that made me feel quiet, but strong will.

To that word Subaru needed time to blink his eyes and penetrate his brain to understand.

"Hey, do it...?

"Yes, it's a contract. A formal covenant with" The Witch of Greed "- would you not make it"

"Exchange it... if you do, what do you have?

"It's a simple story. - In the future, when you hit an obstacle that you can't help, I'll be with you on that wall to haunt your head. When you want someone to say something, I'll try to give you what you want. When you're about to be crushed by your sins, let's take your sins together."

In a breath, Echidna grinned like a solder.

"Would you give me a contract like that?"

"... you're a dead man, so, you couldn't interfere in reality, could you?

"The realm of the dead will be crossed. Speaking of which, we're talking about it now, and I don't think that's a bad idea now.... if you will forgive me for that."

Placing his chest hand on it, Echidna's words bending down tremble Subaru's tympanic membrane. Tremors conducted into the body, gradually passing through the bloodstream with heat to the whole body.

Tactile returns to the hand that was complaining about the feeling of paralysis.

The dry tip of the tongue restores movement to a faint moisture, and the eyes that had forgotten to blink are also filled with something deliberately hot so as to forget thirst.

I wonder how to respond to the offer, to the offer, to the suggestion, to the words of help, to the hand offered.

The witch is telling Subaru that when she vows to keep scratching her feet, nearly losing sight of what it means, and supports it.

"I'm not proud of it, but I'm confident in my knowledge. I'm going to be able to prepare a way to deal with the approximate problems I face, and no matter what absurd circumstances come down to you, unlike your surroundings, I don't have the necessary effort to persuade you, etc. Above all, I can understand your" Back to Death. "

"Quickly, are you telling me the point of sale?

"If you signed a contract with me, I think it's natural for me to talk about the benefits. If I can buy you a little peace of mind in this way, I guess that would be beneficial."

Ekidna on Subaru's words and even makes it her own selling complaint. Of such a witch, Subaru loosens his cheek unexpectedly like never before.

I sigh, "Oh," feeling the air coming out of my lungs in peace.

I nodded at the meadow wind and looked up at the sky, keeping myself on my back.

I see white clouds swimming through the blue sky of the crop.

When you are stuck, when you no longer see the answer, when you face difficulties.

- Thus, if we can exchange words for conclusions, again in the blue sky.

"Maybe that's okay too..."

"- What do you mean?

Echidna stares down at Subaru, who made a noise and stood up from his chair, consolidating his fist in an unexpected manner and so on. to Subaru's gaze at himself as he leaned against his back, Echidna changed her complexion to be ashamed of what extended to those acts,

"Oh, no... yeah, if you really want to, even with a contract like that..."

"It's even too late to fix it. I mean, I didn't ask for it from me, but from you... No, in this case, is it too wild to say it"

It's only an offer from Echidna, but that's only to save Subaru's heart.

Let me get this straight, this is witch warmth. It does not take the form of Subaru, except because the witch lacks consideration for Subaru.

Everywhere, whoever you do, will you be helped in this way?

With a recoil that lifts the body from his back, he glances forward, and Subaru rises.

Echidna, standing within reach if she reached, looked up at Subaru, slightly higher in sight, with an uneasy look on her face.

Either way, I think she's a bruised witch with fine motion.

I'm definitely in a position where I can't say anything more than I've been saved by it.

"How do you make a contract?

"- If you're going to make a formal contract, I'll connect you with me. Fine steps should be applied by me... for now, palms."

Echidna lifts her right hand and turns her white palm toward Subaru.

On the palm of it, lay your hands on the same, I suppose.

Subaru looked at the witch with her mouth on her face without subtly hiding her joy, and exhaled small, "Ha," as she felt like she was drained of poison.

"Will this change the direction of the wind slightly..."

Yes, with a lot of anticipation for the future, align your palms with hers -.

Impact.

A cracking sound sounds and a white table with a cup explodes directly next to Subaru.

The shock that broke the table propagated the ground as it was, creating a crater of destruction on the ground, and Subaru voiced unexpected surprise as the ground rang and the earthquake rocked violently beneath his feet,

"- That contract, I'll wait."

A blonde blue-eyed girl who slaps her fist on the ground and tells off her majesty.

- "Angry Witch" was staring at the two with strong anger.
