Dazzlingly fast, beyond Subaru's imagination, trampling on his understanding, they struck one after another.
"————"
The alien stepped on the carpet and squeezed its four-meter-long body into the corridor.
Black body hair, like a lion's head, with a horse's torso and buttocks, and a slender tail that resembles a snake, as if to express a cruel temperament, and exudes a sinister aura - there is a white curved horn on the forehead
"Warcraft...!?"
Although it was an existence that he had never seen before, Subaru shuddered because of its characteristics that could be understood at a glance. Ram, who heard and smacked his lips next to him, pulled out his wand and raised it towards the monster.
"Fura!!"
Without hesitation, Ram killed the monster with one blow.
However, although the body of the black monster is huge, it is as light as a swallow. It jumped up, avoided the wind blade, and avoided the raging slashes of the strong wind. It kept the damage to a minimum, shouted, and rushed towards Subaru and the others.
"Subaru! This way!"
Petra grabbed Subaru's hand, who was stunned, and ran into the next room. Immediately after, Ram rushed into the same room and closed the door roughly——
"Back off!"
He was pushed deeper into the room by stern words and hands, and then the beast's claws easily destroyed the door.
The hinges that flew off and the door panel that was split into two flew into the room, and Subaru immediately hugged Petra tightly.
"Roar----!"
The door was for humans, and the huge black monster couldn't squeeze in. However, the monster didn't care. It destroyed the wall with its claws and tried to squeeze into the room.
"It's not the time to talk about this! It just shows up! Petra, window!!"
"Okay, okay!"
The monster violently expanded the entrance, causing Subaru to scream in fright. During this period, Ram ordered Petra to open the window and planned to escape from the east building he had just entered.
"——"
I was anxious that I could only escape, but in the chaos there were questions beyond my anxiety.
It's strange. This situation is so unnatural. This situation never happened in the last round.
Subaru has used "Death Return" to change the situation many times. No matter how the action he takes changes the situation, what happens is basically the same. This should be an ironclad rule.
Just like how the Witch Cult never gives up on Emilia no matter how many times it is repeated
——The disaster that befell the mansion would have been too strange if Elsa Granhild hadn’t been there.
"El Fora!!" "Roar————!!"
When Subaru's thoughts were thrown into chaos, Ram's magic scratched the face of the monster behind him. The lion, which kept expanding its entrance and forgot to defend itself, suddenly spurted black blood from its head and face, and the monster leaned back.
Interrupt acts of destruction, but it is extremely difficult to end the amazing vitality
"It's really humiliating to have to escape and be chased by such an imbecile opponent...!"
Faced with the demon beast's ugly appearance, Ram cursed his helplessness and rushed to the window, then grabbed Subaru's neck and jumped out of Petra's open window in one breath.
The touch of grass, entering the east building from the front courtyard, and then passing through the building to the back courtyard
"Ahem! Just now, the monster just now was..."
"Stupid... No, it's Kiltiraw. He has already blinded it. He shouldn't be able to chase it."
"B-but...that monster has horns!"
Ram said the name of the monster, but Petra then said the characteristics it shouldn't have. The two people's speeches, especially Petra's words, made Subaru nod anxiously.
"Well, that monster can't be a wild creature that broke in on its own. It was put into the mansion by someone...!"
The so-called Warcraft is the natural enemy of all life. It is not even a fighting instinct, but a mass of killing instinct. The only thing they have in common is that all Warcraft have horns on their heads and will obey opponents who break their own horns.
If we take advantage of this, it is possible for Elsa and the Warcraft to attack the mansion at the same time——
"However, the horn of this magical beast is not broken...Who on earth brought that magical beast here!?"
"Could it be——"
"——!? Ram, do you know what!?"
He bit Ram's confident reaction and refused to let go, but she glared at him.
“Isn’t that incident in Wolgam just a simple commotion of monsters!?”
"I thought so at the beginning...but now that the King's Selection has begun, I don't think so now."
The curse imposed by the monster, and the reincarnation of the mansion that started because of it
That incident was just like the reincarnation of the royal capital where the badge was stolen. It was obviously to hinder Emilia who was participating in the king's election, and a girl related to the mansion incident was later missing——
"——Could it be that the girl manipulated the magical beast to attack again? In that case, this is——"
——The culprit of the badge theft incident and the culprit of the mansion incident attacked at the same time
"--Well"
"...Ah! Subaru, are you okay?"
The moment he realized that the situation was taking the worst direction, Subaru collapsed. Fortunately, Petra was there to support him.
The inexplicable heavy head makes people anxious, but the blood loss from the wound on the right shoulder also has a great impact.
I was pierced by an iron stick, and I kept running around without stopping the bleeding.
"——Barrus"
"No, that's not possible...! I can't abandon the idea of escaping with them...!"
"Ram hasn't said anything yet...I understand, Ram will go to the dragon stable to bring the earth dragon over first."
"Bring Patrasius, come here...?"
Ram said this to Subaru, who was short of breath due to anemia, and pointed to the back with his eyes - the dragon stable in the distance.
Because he went around to the back of the mansion, he got close to the dragon stable at the back of the yard. If it was Patrasio who had deep feelings, then it would definitely come in handy whether he was escaping or resisting.
"The bleeding can't be stopped... Subaru, the bleeding needs to be stopped!"
"Hand, the handkerchief has been taken away by Yuexing..."
"Then, use this!"
Ram rushed to the dragon stable. During this period, Subaru obediently followed Petra's instructions. She untied the handkerchief tied to Subaru's right wrist and pressed it on the wound on his shoulder.
"It will hurt, so bear with it! Three, two——!!"
“Jiguha——!”
Petra pulled out the iron pick before the countdown was over. Subaru made a weird noise to hold back the pain under the severe pain. Then Petra neatly wrapped the wound with a handkerchief and skillfully stopped the bleeding with her jacket sleeves.
"Yes, saved...but where did he go...!"
"That way you won't use too much force... Fortunately, I gave you a handkerchief."
Petra's reassuring voice made Subaru take a long breath.
The pure white handkerchief tied to her hand as a talisman was now red with Subaru's blood. Although Petra didn't seem to care at all, this only stimulated Subaru's guilt even more.
"I'm sorry...I put you in danger every time..."
"Don't say weird things! I'm very grateful to Subaru for coming to save me every time I'm in danger!"
Petra yelled at Subaru who was apologizing, and said with a red face.
"So, it's okay! It's me who will save you this time. We will take Sister Rem and Beatrice-chan and leave with Sister Ram and Sister Frandelica!"
It's so weak. Is it because you speak too much?
In order to encourage Subaru, who had become weak due to blood loss and the embarrassment of the situation, Petra desperately told her. Seeing her like that, Subaru once again felt that his stupidity was really deplorable.
"...Petra is so amazing, I'm so embarrassed"
"Where can there be..."
"No, what I just said is not complaining, because you are very powerful, so I can't lose."
Shake the heavy head, raise the neck, drive away the weak mood
If you try to cheer up, your own wisdom is not enough to grasp hope.
——Right now, Natsuki Subaru is going to risk everything in order to make up for what he lacks.
Lifting his limp waist, Subaru stretched out his left hand towards Petra. For a moment, Petra hesitated whether to hold Subaru's hand with her blood-stained hand——
"——Petra, let's go. As you said, we will all leave together."
"……Um!"
Subaru's decisive words made Petra smile and hold his hand.
"Ah" and after returning the touch, the girl lowered her eyebrows slightly, seemingly troubled.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not "um", it's "yes"... No, you have to say "yes""
After saying that, Petra stuck out her tongue playfully
She forgot to use honorifics, but the girl was still able to speak so firmly in this situation. Subaru, who was saved by her courage, couldn't help but smile and said:
"Don't be scolded by Frandelika or Ram in the future——"
——In an instant, a loud noise and impact from directly above wiped Subaru's consciousness bright red.
