The first thing I saw after opening my eyes was a white light with an artificial feel. Behind the light was a spacious ceiling, and the crystals hanging down shone with a faint light, illuminating the room. I used my waking head to confirm the scene in front of me, Subaru Natsuki. His consciousness immediately awakens, and his constitution is such that he will not stay in bed once he wakes up.
"...The pillow feels really different. The smell and quality are probably a few digits lower than what I usually use."
After enjoying the touch of the quilt, Natsuki Subaru stood up from the slightly fragrant bed. She could tell at a glance that this was an upper class room. The bed she was sleeping on was big enough to sleep five people. There was only one exaggeratedly large bed in the spacious room that was nearly ten square meters in size. It was really a strange arrangement.
"Having only formal furnishings like hanging paintings on the walls makes it even more lonely. Can this really be called a guest room?"
Subaru Natsuki, who was fully awake, got out of bed, turned her limbs slightly to check her physical condition. Her shoulders and legs turned well, and finally she lifted her clothes and touched her abdomen.
"The wound on the stomach... is gone. Not to mention the bruises, there are no traces of the incision on the stomach? Judging from the fact that no sutures are left, the surgeries in this world are excellent. If my If the great activity is not a delusion."
Recalling the deep cut in her stomach and the series of events that took place, Subaru Natsuki, who was an ordinary high school student in Japan on Earth, was suddenly summoned to a different world and then died. Just like the literal meaning, she died. It happened several times, and the fact that she was able to save her life now was probably an accident caused by the overlapping of multiple miracles. She remembered that she was stabbed by that woman.
"Speaking of which, how long has passed since then...is there anything that can show the time?"
She looked around the room, but she didn't see anything like a calendar or a clock at all. The yellow crystal on the door was very eye-catching. The darkness outside the window made Natsuki Subaru realize that it was night, but she still shrugged. Shrugging, then taking a deep breath, and then...
"Anyway, no matter what... I think I avoided [Death Return] this time."
After coming to this conclusion that was difficult to deduce, I finally made up my mind to face reality.
"The first time I died was very depressing, the second time I died inexplicably, the third time it was a pretty good death, and the fourth time I was attacked to death after the end, but luckily I avoided this development. , if I die again, I will be a complete passerby, right?"
Entrusting his weight to the bed, Subaru counted the cause of his death on his fingers. He was deeply depressed, but he was also sure that he had avoided [death return] now. Time has finally moved on. Subaru, who was originally fatally injured, could be safe like this. Nothing happens because...
"Judging from the situation, that girl... Emilia used recovery magic, right?"
What comes to mind is a beautiful girl with silver hair and blue-purple eyes, Emilia.
"My chest is fine."
The wound on the abdomen will heal, so it must have been treated by her. For Subaru, who had been healed by Emilia, it is natural to think so, and it is natural that Subaru will definitely think that the guest room where he rests is The owner of the mansion is also Emilia, but...
"Speaking of the mansion, did Kazami Yumeng and the others say something similar? But no matter what...
Glancing at the door, Subaru Natsuki sighed dissatisfied with the lack of news.
"Generally speaking, when the protagonist opens his eyes, there must be a beautiful girl watching over me on the pillow and saying to me: 'Are you awake?' But when I was summoned, there was no beautiful girl. This summons The bugs in the system are too obvious..."
Not only is it unable to use Wushuang, but there are also very few opportunities to meet female characters. As far as the summoning system is concerned, it is simply unqualified.
"Besides, if there is no movement like this...shouldn't we just confirm the current situation on our own and give it a good play?"
Natsuki Subaru almost jumped up and stretched out her hand towards the door. The cold air flowed in from behind the open door, and the coldness of the floor was directly transmitted to her bare feet.
"Wow..."
As soon as you leave the room, you will see a wide corridor with warm colors on the walls and floors. There are stretches of passages on both sides. The scary thing is that the corridor is so long that you can't see the end.
"This mansion is so grand that it makes people just say 'wow'. It should be said that it is super big or vast...it is so big that it doesn't even have the aura of a human being."
Walking barefoot in the corridor, Natsuki Subaru frowned at the silence, not even hearing the sounds of life that should have been there.
"Except for the night, this is too quiet...it will make me hesitate to shout."
Originally, Subaru's character was supposed to shout 'Is there anyone here?', but judging from the current situation, doing so might be dangerous.
"What the hell is this place?"
After all, at this stage, Ang has no way of knowing whether he is in a safe place. It can be taken for granted that there are well-intentioned people keeping Subaru in the mansion, but the worst-case scenario is that after Subaru loses consciousness, the murderer who likes intestines escapes The possibility of coming back to kidnap Subaru cannot be said to be non-existent. Having said that, after considering that possibility, we have to take action.
"Do your best to obey fate. Didn't Kenichi say so? I think so too. Even if I die, it doesn't matter."
By the way, Kenichi is Natsuki Subaru's father, and he is actually a very fatherly person. Natsuki Subaru did not hesitate when she stepped forward, but after walking for a while, she tilted her head in confusion.
"We walked for so long, let alone reaching the entrance and exit, we didn't even see the end. How could this happen?"
The strange feeling lingered, and Subaru decided to turn back and think about what to do. He turned around, only to frown strangely.
"This painting... wasn't it in front of me when I first walked out of the room..."
Standing in front of the decorative oil painting in the corridor, Natsuki Subaru folded her arms and meditated. The theme of the painting was the forest at night. It felt like the same painting she saw as soon as she left the room. If she hadn't walked too slowly...she suddenly Think of a possibility.
"Is there a mechanism installed on the floor? It won't make the corridor rotate like a treadmill... right?"
I'm afraid that if you move to a certain distance in the corridor, it will automatically move to the other end of the map and let you walk indefinitely. This is a very common map trap in games such as RPGs.
"If the corridor also goes around in circles, it would be quite similar to my [Death Return], but it can also be said to be quite troublesome."
Without asking for anyone's permission, Natsuki Subaru opened the door of the nearby room directly. As a result, there was nothing inside. It could be said that it was a room with bare walls, and of course no one was inside.
"Infinite corridors and several rooms...is this a level where you can't exit until you find the correct answer?"
Even though it was confirmed that he was not the only one summoned from another world, it was a head-scratching situation to encounter a new fantasy element as soon as he woke up.
"According to the agreed development, I will have to spend several hours looking for the right room. Now I am hungry, mentally exhausted, and my physical strength is about to bottom out. In this case..."
Taking a deep breath and wiping the sweat from her forehead, Subaru Natsuki took the first step with awareness. Facing the door with the oil painting hanging on it, she grasped the doorknob of the room that Subaru left from and turned it.
"Go back to your room and sleep until someone calls me. Maybe it's a common setting that the room you start in is the room you end in."
The idea triggered by this self-destructive character and thinking prompted Subaru to step into the room without confirming.
"...You are really a guy who makes people feel angry from the bottom of their hearts, aren't you?"
Then, in the library where she had no memory, the curly-haired girl stared at Subaru Natsuki and said with hatred.
