Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

”I'll add tea and drink it on my own, but do you want to drink it with someone else?”

As soon as I heard the crunchy old man's voice, Subaru's whole body began to flow upside down.

The puffy skin complains of pain, and the air ingested in the lungs freezes. The soul of Subaru awakens, as if a sharp object had been struck deep in the chest.

― ― It was the triggering of "Return to Death" and the return to the worst scenes.

"---!"

Instantly, Tarrita aimed at the bow before Subaru could react in any way.

Albert Dunklken, an uninvited visitor who suddenly appeared in the room. An old man who was one of the [Nine God Generals] and killed all Subaru just ten seconds ago.

Even if you don't know the circumstances, you will be wary of the gentlemanly way of packing the distance.

However, Alvaro, who was pointed at the arrows from a super close distance in the same room, shrugged his shoulders to mock the vigilance of those Subaru.

"Stop it, stop it. I don't like to be pointed at the sharp things. But even though the elderly go to the toilet a lot of times, you want to make me scared and pee? It's a lot of fighting, isn't it?"

"This is a joke...!" you came.... "

"- Albert Dunklken"

Tarrita's face blushed in anger at Albert, who was piercing with hostility. Abel, the demonic man, called out the old man's name to block her.

Without being surprised by his appearance, Albert turned his gaze to the man whose name he had called out to hide his face.

And it all starts with a hungry search for each other that you can't help but remember the impression of being so thirsty---

――――

Albert and Abel's conversation, while grasping it at the edge of their consciousness, Subaru grinds the scenes of the unchanged world into his own memory.

Just a few moments ago, that was enough. - There, find the breakthrough of destiny.

Can you do that?

"--Oh"

Thoughts for a breakthrough, a cold voice that interrupts like a surprise.

It was an unparalleled weakness of Natsuki Subaru himself that was created by impatience and frustration.

Can you do that? I just wiped out my friends.

Your voice whispers relentlessly as you try to remember what happened.

I made an irreversible mistake, falling out of Subaru's hands.

The second opportunity given in 'Return to Death' is not to recover from a mistake.

Mistakes are irreversible. Subaru will only be forgiven for his indelible atonement. This is the fruit of Natsuki Subaru's authority.

"---!"

"Oh!? What are you doing all of a sudden!?"

"Wow! What? What?!"

"Ugh!? Ahh, ugh!"

I whispered a nasty gossip that I tried to hear, and I slapped my cheeks with both hands without shaking it off.

The dry sound echoed in the room, and Alvaro, Medium, and Louis screamed at Subaru's sudden action. Although they didn't speak up, Al and Tarrita were equally surprised.

That would be true. I'm sorry. It was just necessary.

――――

When I opened my closed eyelids, my vision was clear as I thought it was wobbly. In the sight, in the face of Subaru's peculiar deeds, there was a gaze that looked quietly at us.

Only Abel, the demonic face, had a dignified attitude without showing upset, just like when Albalt appeared. - I don't know what's going on in that heart.

"I'm sorry to surprise you.... I've got a temper."

"My cheeks turned red, and I was looking up... yeah?" Isn't that right? You're probably the red-clothed girl from yesterday. I thought it was somebody who was scared. "

Seeing the identity of Svalbard in the strange act, Alvaro raised his thick eyebrows with interest.

Just like last time, Albert tied Subaru and Nutmeg here for the first time. As it is, it will be possible for the underdogs of "early childhood" to finalize it with Albert and bring it to the negotiations.

However, it would be the same tread. Albert is a dangerous man.

At the very least, I can't tell you about Abel and put him on my side.

As soon as Abel realized that he was the real Emperor, Vincent Volakia, he came to take his life to reveal his long-standing ambitions. - Already, it's a potential enemy.

And then--

"... I was surprised just now, brother." It seems that the leader of Shinobi didn't even know who he was. "

"Oh, that's great, that's great!" I'll teach you to behave like one of those haunted eagles. How about a lecturer? Don't just welcome me. "

――――

"That's why it seems impossible to speak gently." I tried to keep you on your guard, but it might have been a little too flashy. Eagle, Fail, Fail "

Alvaro lets out his tongue and admits his hand.

However, the air in the field is warming and soothing, and the situation is already passing. Neither Subaru nor this old man's willingness to relax his vigilance is going to happen.

― ― Albert said that the faces of people were talking, before the murder.

Probably, such a favorable attitude and shattered behavior, as well as the silent intrusion into the defenseless room to surprise, is a technique to elicit the reaction of the opponent.

If the "ninjas" recognized by Shinobi and Subaru in this world are of the same nature, all of Albalt's behavior is nothing but traps, poisons, and ninjutsu.

Do not spare any means to fulfill your purpose.

"However, even if you're scornful, I'm too old to be a jerk." Thinking about the time that's left, it's getting really rough. "

"Ruthless... let's fight against us in this situation?"

"Scarecrow! Well, isn't it true that I'm about to get twitchy when my bow is pointed at me?" However, fighting for anything is not the only way to reach your goal. "

"Um, what do you mean?" What does Grandpa want to say? "

Tarrita and Medium pursue the small body more shrinking and the spots and murmuring albalt. The old man laughed with a crooked cheek in response to a question from the two men, whose height had been reversed.

Then he pointed at the medium with his hand, and then at Al, who was trying to cut off the way out.

"You can't shrink all over the place, can you?" That's what I did. It's one of Shinobi's tricks. It's funny out of the ordinary, isn't it? "

"Grandpa...!"

"Angry, angry, one-armed young monster. Rather, you should be grateful. If you accidentally kill me and I can't hear you, I'll be in trouble, so I'll just try to shrink it."

Alvaro pushes back the sporadic greetings that Alvaro said.

Al clogged his throat when he was told that he understood that it was true, and he was silent.

Yes, Albert's statement is true and true.

Albert was able to kill the Subarus yesterday in the Battle of Red Ribbon Castle if he wanted to. Rather than the technique of "infantilization", I could pierce my heart with just a piercing hand.

Old men are the only ones who survive when Subaru is small.

That's what Subaru thought.

"Well, if I tried to kill it quite seriously, it was all prevented, so I tried to do it without suffering." Young monk. "

"... I don't know what you're talking about"

"Scarecrow! Can't you say something about magic?" I can't help it. If possible, I can ask you how to do it in detail and leave it in the secret book.

"It's the same no matter what I'm told." - I don't know what you're talking about. "

She covered her face with a piece of cloth and answered with a soggy voice.

The answer was not what I expected, but Albert nodded and seemed to be enjoying Al's reaction.

――

Meanwhile, Subaru doesn't understand the meaning of the two exchanges.

In the midst of a fierce offensive and defensive, Al worked on all sides to save Subaru and Medium's life. Or perhaps Albert, who confronted Al there, saw something shining in his way of fighting.

However, even if Albert's words were true, Al's technique influenced by "infantilization" would not be applicable to Shinobi.

After seeing the results, Subaru had already seen them with his own eyes.

There are absolute principles derived therefrom.

― ― It's a simple thing that you must never fight Albert.

――――

Alvaro is relaxedly swimming with his hands. Tarrita aimed at him with a bow with an arrow, and Al and Medium were ready to face each other, but they were killed without a second thought.

The difference in power between the Subaru and Alvaro lies between them.

Fight Albert and you won't be annihilated. - No, maybe one or two people can escape if they try to escape, but it's also like crossing a very fine thread.

After all, Alvaro needs to get out of here peacefully. However, there is no time for discussion.

"Why...?"

I want to mourn for not being able to do anything when I'm back in this moment.

While being given a second chance in "Return to Death", I know it is a terribly arrogant and selfish idea, but I could at least consult with my companions if I could return before Albert's appearance.

The last time I repeatedly "returned to death" against Todd in the citadel city of Guaral, it reminded me that I had little time to deal with it and was tormented.

Even then, it was a restart from a state that was already under threat.

Even this time, the circumstances are very similar. The restart point is the same cage as the bloodthirsty beast.

Originally, there was unevenness in the time traced back to "Return to Death", but this is quite serious.

Or it could be that Subaru's authority is causing some kind of abnormality.

"--Now, it's a later time."

Curse the lack of time, and commit no foolishness that wastes little time.

Subaru's foolishness is not always rewarded by Subaru himself.

"Mr. Albert, you..."

"--You said your technique shrunk these things."

"Oh..."

Svalbard tried to call out to Albert, forcing him to change his mind.

To get through this situation, you have to pay attention to each and every one of your words and actions. To put it plainly, I wanted time to draw the line.

But Abel blocked it and painted Subaru's voice.

With his words frustrated, Subaru looked at the ghost and noticed his intentions. Abel's sincerity in not looking at us is a proxy for Subaru's role. --In other words, to give Subaru the time he needed, he caught Albert's attention.

"Oh, that's right, that's right." I forgot to tell you about it. Elderly people get out of line anyway. I have to respond to my bones, too. "

"You? Stop making funny jokes." If you label yourself as old and faded, you should return the first rank as soon as possible. At that point, your stomach is set. "

"Hey, don't be silly." Even though it's hard to see the side with a mask, you can still see my belly? "

"Of course."

Abel nodded without hesitation, and Albert's gaze had an interesting color.

In that way, Abel, who is the one who pulls the conversation, can no longer doubt that his sincerity is not about revealing Albert's true nature, but about buying time.

I don't know why Subaru realized that he wanted time, but--

It's not the case of 4-5.

Putting aside the aversion of seeing through her chest, Subaru kneads his head to deal with it.

If Albert finds out who Abel is, he will fulfill his ambition to defeat the Emperor. Therefore, we cannot reveal our hand to Albert.

However, there is no way that they will come home without anything from us.

"First general, you are in the [Geng] position, you can say that you are at the top of the Empire." But your nature is greedy. Even that position is far from satisfactory. "

"Well, it's not bad to be treated like a withered geezer, but I don't feel like a greedy geezer either." Scarecrow! "

Ask Abel to talk about the nature of Albalt in his own eyes.

Albert, who laughed a lot, was delighted to hear that, but the darkness behind this Shinobi was something else that Abel had misjudged.

--No, it wasn't exactly measured. Would that be more appropriate?

What? You want an eagle with an explosion of dissatisfaction?

"---" The Seat of the Dragon ""

――――

And the words of Abel were uttered quietly, but with an unwavering voice.

As soon as I heard that, the sound of Albert's breathing disappeared as the dead leaves rubbed against each other. Under his thick, long eyebrows, the old man narrowed his eyes and slammed his gaze against Abel.

I don't know what kind of wind is blowing in Shinobi's heart, but I am sure that Abel's pointing made Albert confused.

But it 's--

"Young monk with one arm, don't make strange moves." Also, the bow daughter can't see with her breath, right? "

― ― It does not mean that Albalt's attention will be distracted or gaps will arise.

Alvaro and Tarrita breathed as they turned their faces toward Abel.

The moment Albert concentrated on Abel, he must have explored a slight opportunity. However, Alvaro's proficient eyes could not be overlooked, even as he tried to find out.

"--Oh, you got eyes on the back of your head?"

"You said there wasn't enough training." The year is different, the year is different. However, from my point of view, most people are immature. This is because it's not an elderly invincibility theory. "

Al groaned, showing his teeth and laughing, Albert's gaze was still on Abel.

You can deal with Al's miniatures without looking them in the eye. ─ ─ Even without saying so, it's the transcendent attitude that makes me think like that.

And there is no power or hand to overturn it in our current hands.

Al

Shake his head to the side and tell Subaru not to let Al out.

He doesn't have a full grasp of his abilities and artistry, but he's probably a user of defensive technology. The battle against Arachia, yesterday's Heavenly Palace, the enemy attack, and the ability to survive while being pushed to the defense, was a brilliant feat for Subaru.

Even so, in the present situation of "infantilization", you can't shake it fully, and you will be killed.

"However, when I was told that I was aiming for the 'sacrifice', I was beaten by my heroes." Why did you say such a sudden thing again, masked young man? "

"You know, your ambition is not so shallow that you can become old-fashioned." ― ― Shinobi is in a position to inflict extreme pain on his body and spirit, and only a handful of them will be able to do so. Not to mention you are the leader... until the day you die, the time of completion will not come. "

Hmmm.

Albert nodded briefly to Abel's words as he put his arms together.

I can accept that I missed it, but the thinness of the reaction reinforced its credibility.

In fact, Subaru knows that Abel's point is incorrect.

The ultimate goal of Albert's heart, the head of Shinobi, is "Rebellion of the Emperor", and it is different from the policy to climb to the top of the "Nine God Generals".

However, Albert's reaction was also proof that Abel had pointed it out.

Ultimately, what Abel pointed out was Albert's [thirst].

Abel's assumption as to how to fulfill his thirst was that Albert also took the seat of the absolute medallion, the "Nine Gods", in the "Nine Gods Generals". --But I can't help it.

Old man who is in the first rank, has a subordinate as the leader of Shinobi, and has only a long and long life - how can he notice that his desire to ransack all the things he has earned in his life, but to bequeath history as a rebellious Shinobi to the emperor?

Abel, who was unaware of Aoki and had no attitude towards himself or others, gave priority to the preservation of his own life as the Emperor of Volakia.

Because I am aware that if I lose myself, the Empire will be greatly shaken.

It is the inevitable consciousness held by Abel, the Volakia Emperor, and on the other hand, it should be called the "sense of responsibility" that everyone has, even if it is thin compared to him.

- Albert Dunklken doesn't have it.

If your ambitions come true, you can die. As a result, it doesn't matter if the surroundings are annoyed.

That extraordinary thought of ruin was Abel's unreadable darkness.

But--

"--Mr. Albert, aren't you aiming for the emperor, not the" "Tsubaki" "?"

--Natsuki Subaru knew the darkness of Albert Dankurken.

△▼△▼△▼△

--In the blink of an eye, the color of the air, the smell, and the touch changed.

――――

Alvaro didn't even turn a blind eye to Al or Tarrita's imaginative hostility. Alvaro's gaze reacted to Subaru's words as a toddler.

An old man stroking his jaw with the opposite hand while holding a hot water bottle in one hand looks back at Subaru.

I couldn't hear a word Subaru had just said.

Young master, you're suddenly coming out again, don't be surprised

"I'm surprised because I suddenly talked to you?" Or..... "

"Are you surprised to hear the pictures assigned to the stars?" If you're serious about that, I'm not a superhero! "

――――

Alvaro opens his mouth and laughs loudly at Subaru's words. However, Subaru is convinced that his heart is not as calm as it seems.

Unlike others, he pointed to his own long-standing ambitions.

Neither was Abel's eyes aware of the [Darkness] until he was on the verge of being transferred to execution.

"The aim of the Emperor is to kill the Emperor?" Brother, that's a leap. I don't care if you imitate it.

"It doesn't make sense. Oh, I know. Just knowing the notoriety doesn't have any advantages."

"Well, I don't even understand the idea of infamy rather than namelessness." The one-armed young man was right, that's the idea of jumping up a bit. "

But you can't deny it clearly, Mr. Albert.

Al, who hardens his voice because it's hard to believe, and Albert, who agrees with it, pursue Svalbard.

Honestly, I understand that stepping into a dangerous area is an act of jumping into a dangerous area, but I can't stop.

Abel delayed the conversation with Alvaro, while Subaru thought about it.

Since Albert's ambition was to defeat the Emperor, Abel's identity could not be revealed, nor could it be conveyed that the false Emperor's identity was Chisha. Inevitably, our negotiable hand has disappeared.

When that happened, in order to prevent Alvaro's hand from peeling Abel's mask, Subaru came up with the opposite method to the original "negotiation" -

--In other words, it's not the disclosure of our hand, it's the disclosure of Albalt's hand.

"Our purpose is as we talked about yesterday in the Temple." Drag down Emperor Vincent Volakia, who is currently seated on the Emperor's throne. It should mesh with what you're aiming for. "

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't just tailor me to become a traitor in the world." It's not like there was a gap or an alarm, but the kid is freaking out and pissing is nearby. "

"But I really don't deny it or stop it. even though he is one of the first generals directly under the emperor."

The possibility of a future caught at the fingertips, Subaru moves forward to carry it into his hands.

Of course, the threat from Albert has not faded, nor has the danger abated. If I make a mistake, I know that this place will be turned into a blood tragedy.

However, Svalbard was convinced that this story was one of its kind.

Alvaro decided to kill everyone else after he discovered Abel's identity.

It was like some sort of suicide bombing for Albert, in the sense that killing Abel would accomplish the ends of his life.

Unless he is convinced, Albert will not be short-tempered during the negotiations.

Whether it's an ambitious beast that has no sense of responsibility, loyalty, or fine dust, it plays the role of "Nine God Generals" who faithfully abide by the orders of the false emperor.

"That's right, the Lord who declared war in front of you ordered me to stop doing this." I'm talking about my lord - unlike a cakema with blood on its head. Thinking about it later, it's not very clever to turn a fox daughter into an enemy in this city. "

As expected, Albert did not try to use his power even when he heard Subaru's rumored appeal.

Nevertheless, he did not look at the devouring Subaru with pleasure, and his attitude naturally made Abel and Arles doubt the absurd Shinobi's ambition and authenticity.

And then--

"--That's what you think you can't measure."

"Jeez, these guys don't get it." When this happens, you're going to have to throw the key that I can't help but keep talking to you. "

Abel is the first person to swallow the unbelievable content in the midst of doubts.

The glance pierced Albert and threw the explanation away in a troublesome manner. From the beginning, there is no reason why Alvaro should fight the Svalbards so hard here.

Of course, Alvaro's behavior raises tensions among the fighters.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop." I'm telling you, it's not because I'm gentle, but because I'm told to stop. That's how it feels to get paid back if you hit me first. "

"Gu... that's right, maybe..."

If you make a mistake, you'll be finished. Tarita's cheeks tightened in response to Alvaro's caution, and her long, sharp eyes stroked Subaru and Medium's gaze.

Looking at it, Albert nodded convincedly,

"Bring back your shrinking companions, eh, that's right." That's a little too greedy, isn't it? I'm not going home without doing anything? "

"But Grandpa made us tiny, didn't he?" Or is there someone besides Grandpa who can return? "

"I haven't really thought about it... my daughter, how old are you really?"

Me? Was I twenty years old?

"Then, after ten years, you'll be back." I don't know, but...

The medium raised his hand and asked, reddening his cheeks to answer without a lid or a body. Alvaro's posture was covered in smoke, but Svalbard was also troubled by the answer.

However, it is true that there is no way to extract an answer from him by force, nor is there any way to get him back.

Even so...

"Yes, I can't go home, you know what's going on." Albert-san, you can't ask me to hang out with you a little longer... "

Nooooooo. So you're the one who treated me like a bad grandfather. The old man is so short, so you have the right to choose who you want to talk to in such a small amount of time-- "

― ― Then I'll give you the chance to kill the Emperor.

Shortly after, Subaru took a breath and looked at Abel, who had spoken out, as the air changed again.

Unlike Abel, who put his life on the balance, Albert scratched his head, saying, "Hey!"

"What are you talking about because the assumptions are different in the first place, you guys?" It's much harder to remember and forget than me, isn't it? "

"If your aim is the life of the Emperor, there will be many opportunities." But you didn't put it into action. --because the "Yang Sword" protects the Emperor. "

"Oh..."

Well, I can show you how to cross the ridge.

Albert's expression has undergone a change that sets him apart from previous deception.

The Old World raised its eyebrows and stared at Abel with a clear surprise. On the other hand, Abel, who stood up from the chair, stood majestically there.

"Yang's Sword, Tan..."

Subaru doesn't know exactly what it means.

However, it was a fact that Albert was so shocked that he could see through the other side of it, abandoning the superficial emotions he had put up so far.

From the way the story goes, it is a secret of some kind that protects Emperor Volakia, and it is because of it that Albert's ambition has so far failed to bear fruit.

And Abel said that he might bring forth the magic of removing the shackles.

"-" I thought you didn't show your face and the elderly didn't work hard, but who the hell are you? Don't even joke about it. "

"Do you think anything that tells jokes or jokes here can turn a flag against this mighty empire?" If so, it would be a madman who lost his mind, or a grown-up with a big liver. "

Whichever you are, huh?

Of course.

At the end of the day, Abel answers Albert's question.

Whether it is true or not, Subaru can't tell. Or maybe Abel is a real man, a lunatic, an adult, or maybe both.

――――

In response to Abel's response, Albert often shut up.

With a furry eyebrow, I carried the tea to my mouth, which was cooling down completely. Then I placed the empty hot water bottle on the desk beside me.

I thought it was a fire bell.

Huh?

Suddenly, Svalbard let out a stupid voice.

However, it was medium that immediately nodded, "That's right." She pointed out the window with her tiny body, showing the beauty of Red Ribbon Castle.

Yoruna-chan is calling us, so if we stay tiny, we'll be in trouble

"Yoruna-chan! I wonder! That's a lot of balls, darling."

――

Tilting her neck, even that Yoruna was surprised by the medium balls she was wearing.

Meanwhile, Albert looked like he was being poisoned in the same way, and when he turned his gaze to the red Ribbon Castle that Medium pointed at, he muttered, "That's right."

”Actually, I don't want to aim for your life or anything, but the way you cross the 'Yang Sword', which protects Emperor Volakia, really bothers you”

"--! If that's the case"

"Woah, you're fast." It was me who made you look forward to it, but I can't think of anything else. ─ ─ So why don't you fight?

"... battle?"

"Yes, it's a battle. You like it, don't you, boy?"

Alvaro pointed his finger at the tip of Subaru's nose, and said so.

The movement was completely out of sight, and Subaru was firmly stiffened.

Alvaro puts it forward and offers some kind of condition.

I'm not sure if that's what Subaru wants to do to avoid killing everyone and improve the blocked situation.

What if I say no?

Then you won't get anything you want, will you?

――――

"By the way, you guys are taking what I wanted, so don't spare no effort to attack you while Shinobi's skill goes to bed in the future."

Albert said ruthlessly that it was a natural answer.

The smiling old man was frightened by the dark emotion behind his thin and cloudy eyes.

On the surface, even if we are talking gently and peacefully, there is a black, ruthless way of taking the lives of others hidden behind it.

"What will you do with the content of the battle?"

It is no longer unavoidable to compete with Alvaro at the time the conditions are presented. Abel, sensing the same thing, asks on behalf of Subaru, who doesn't open his mouth.

Albert twisted his neck and said, "I see."

"It won't take long for the fox daughter to call me, and I'll be told to stop cumming with your hands, so I'm surprisingly embarrassed... ah, just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Is that just right for Albert?" For us? "

"It's definitely decided for both me and you guys."

Svalbard laughed as he showed his teeth to the clenched question, and Albert showed his hands.

And he said to the Svalbard who stood up.

"--Chase Kakaku"

――――

"Often, don't compete with the younger ones in the city." It's easy to understand, isn't it? "
