"It feels like "Barus the Crybaby" is a title you can only see in a fairy tale..."
Emilia comforted Subaru who was crying. The brief moment of tenderness and sympathy was over in less than a moment.
After a few people came out of the cemetery, they met Ram. After hearing the whole story, Ram said the first sentence in a cold but vaguely reassuring tone. Unfortunately, Subaru knew that he was worthless like that.
, but I don’t have the energy to reply.
"The absence of Emilia-sama who we should have saved has caused trouble again... Why on earth are you still alive?"
"Although I said that I have no strength, I can't let you talk about it for this reason!?"
"It's true, Ram, Subaru is worried about me, and having this kind of heart is the most important thing."
Ram sighed, shrugged, and expressed contempt for Subaru. Subaru expressed his dissatisfaction with Ram's attitude. Emilia immediately came out to support Subaru.
Emilia stood next to Subaru, raised her beautiful eyebrows and said
"It's a pity that I finally came to rescue me, but accidentally fell down, and then I started crying because of uneasiness..."
"Emilia Carbon? Emilia Carbon? I will cry."
"But! Subaru saved me every time...so, Subaru showed me his delicate parts, which made me feel a little relieved."
Subaru couldn't help but choked up as he looked at Emilia who put her hand on her chest and said this.
Emilia thinks too highly of Subaru. Subaru has let Emilia see his unreliable side many times so far, not just this time, but always since they met.
"I was happy and embarrassed when Emilia Tan said that, but I still didn't want Emilia Tan to see me useless."
"Hey, why?"
"Because I hope Emilia Tan sees me as cool, and I hope you forget that I am a weak, hopeless, and useless guy."
"Really, I just saw you crying a little bit, so I won't hate you."
Looking at Emilia, who had her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks, Subaru smiled bitterly and excused herself.
Although Emilia is very gentle, Subaru's vanity does not allow him to be so arrogant all the time. This has nothing to do with Emilia's character or fear of disappointing Emilia - it's just that Subaru has to be strong.
That’s all
"Ha, where do you get those nice words from? You are so brave and you were crying just now. You are simply unconvincing."
"Really, sister, you really like to throw cold water on others..."
"Ram says he is so mean, but he is actually anxious outside, right?"
Yuexing on the side said, and cast an "I understand you" look at Ram, but Ram gave him a fierce glare.
Subaru stared at Ram, thinking that Ram seemed completely helpless against the moon and stars.
"————"
Looking away, he saw the blond young man holding his arms - Garfiel. Seeing his figure, Subaru tried hard to hide his panic under his tired expression.
Facing Garfiel, Subaru's feelings were extremely complicated. During the battle with the witch, he did have a brief cooperation with him. It must be admitted that Garfiel's tragic death still seems to be vivid in his mind.
——However, Subaru also clearly remembered that he brutally killed many people in the previous world.
That memory made it impossible for Subaru to let down his guard, not to mention that Subaru had just "returned from death". He knew very well the reason why he was an enemy of Garfiel, and that the witch's miasma was strongest at this time.
What on earth would he do? Subaru couldn't help but become nervous when he thought of this. Garfiel grinned at Subaru who was so nervous.
"When you rushed inside, I thought what was going to happen. With that little brother here, you were just causing trouble. I was relieved to see that you could come back safely. Just like "The wind can't blow."
"It's the fruit of Gallen. I really can't underestimate you."
"It hurts! Hey, wait, it hurts! Don't you know it hurts!"
Garfiel laughed heartily and punched Subaru hard on the shoulder.
Faced with Garfiel's heavy punch that could paralyze bones, Subaru thought to himself, "I guess you won't attack me in front of everyone." But from his smiling face, you couldn't tell that he had any malicious intentions, he was just here to welcome them back safely.
, that reaction was a bit, wrong, very unexpected
"that's all?"
"Ah? What? Do you want me to stroke the crybaby's head to comfort you?"
"Who wants your comfort? Besides, it's not like that... no"
Subaru took back what he wanted to say. Subaru didn't want to take the risk and cause trouble. At least, Garfiel was not hostile now and was just here to welcome them.
"What worries me right now is my relationship with you and my body odor."
"What are you talking about... It's really annoying to compare people with body odor."
"——Then you just think it's my fault and accept it obediently. Compared with this, let's wait until you get some rest before talking about the specific situation. It's not good to stand here and talk, right?"
"That's right, Subaru, you must be tired after crying for so long..."
"Emilia Carbon"
While Emilia agreed with Subaru's words, she also mentioned that Subaru was a crybaby. She stuck out her tongue at Subaru who made a sad sound and apologized cutely, "I'm sorry."
Due to Emilia's cuteness, Subaru forgave her for being naughty, but at the same time, Subaru had other thoughts in his heart.
——This time, Emilia is different from before. She is not as worried about the failure of the "trial" as before.
The reason for this change turned out to be that Subaru got into trouble before Emilia. Subaru also felt that he was too useless for this matter, but in any case, Emilia now can accept it with a stronger heart.
own past
Although I don’t know if this mentality will have a good impact on the “trial”——
"It's worth trying, right?"
"Subaru, it's time to go."
A group of people started to move in preparation for the move. Yuexing saw Subaru lagging behind and stopped where he was and called him. After hearing this, Subaru shrugged his shoulders and caught up with them.
——Emilia was not defeated by the "trial", and Garfiel still maintained a neutral attitude.
Around the "Sanctuary" incident, you can see different reactions every time it is repeated. This time is also the case, and it is obvious that this is the best start so far.
"Then it depends on how I face this situation and what kind of results I can get."
No one wants to die in vain, so we must make better use of "death"
All "deaths" are meaningful, in this world, in this "sacred realm", all "deaths" are meaningful
so--
"The things we brought back from that shadow are also meaningful."
My head still hurts a little, and in that corner, there is still the aftertaste of the whirlpool mixed with other people’s memories.
——This should be the encounter with the witch and the meaning of "death"
