― ― It was a feeling of being left in a dark and cold place.

Dark as a closed eyelid, cold as a cheek against an unattended iron, such an environment. I was desperately looking for salvation while feeling like I was tied up in a chain.

That's why I kept stretching out my hand in disorientation, depending on the treatment.

However, the reason I reached for the white light that came in front of me at the last moment was different.

Light - No, it was a girl with a sad expression of determination. I didn't reach out to her for help. Because I thought I had to save her.

So he strained the chain that he would seal himself, and stretched out his hand.

Take this hand of yours...

"-Small"

Natsuki and Subaru muttered as they looked at their hands, which were reflected in the blurred vision.

The hand that was pointed at the ceiling was his hand on the extension of Subaru's shoulder. Grips, closes, and moves as you see fit. Without doubt, your own hands.

However, it was a child's hand that was one size smaller than Subaru's expectations.

In other words,

"I missed my return..."

This is a chance to recover from a struggle that you've managed to seize. Literally, it was the result of many times feeling like death, but it left this hand.

How much have you sacrificed for what you let go of?

How many sacrifices...

"-Oh!? Yes, what are you doing, me!?"

Instantly, there was a shake in the blurry consciousness, and Subaru put his gaze on his face.

The memory that comes back to me is connected to the abnormal situation that I encountered in the Demon City and the dangerous ghost of Albert, who was struck even worse than that.

After piling up countless [deaths] and taking victory, Subaru would have succeeded in unlocking the crown of victory, [Infantilization].

I also remember that Albert touched his chest and tried to solve Subaru's [infantilization].

At the next moment, I thought that the spirit of love was whispered in my ear...

”Suddenly my consciousness blew up, and then... and then?”

Svalbard tries to find out what happened. But whether you push it or pull it, the door with the uninterrupted memories won't open.

The door's firmness and twitching impatience increased, and Subaru gnashed his back teeth strongly ─ ─

"- Well, well, let's not be so hasty." Fortunately, I got my life back, and it's not too late to do something about it, even after the daughter wakes up. "

- Huh?

Suddenly, a voice was heard directly beside her, and Subaru turned to you in astonishment. Then, beside the lying Subaru, his eyes met the person who was holding his cheek stick with both hands on a stiff bed.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Subaru's face from a close distance.

"Whoa, whoa!?"

"Oh, that's a good reaction, but you should keep it down." If you're too noisy, the island lord will strangle you and you'll have a troublesome death. "

"Eh, ah, eh..."

"I don't hate that kind of bad hobby, I rather like it"

A blue-haired person who unexpectedly jumps up and turns his eyes black and white in front of Subaru.

He has long hair tied up behind his head and wears a disguise reminiscent of a rare Japanese style. And when he was astonished at the stranger's face, Subaru swallowed his spit, and chose words and questions.

Not only strangers, but also strangers' places, strangers' environments, strangers' air-

"... who are you?" Where am I? "

"--Oh, that's really nice!" That's a great question! Just as I expected... no, that's all!! "

Huh?

Carefully, it was a Subaru who tried to change the opponent's direction, but the opponent with his eyes shining with joy quickly took his hand and swung up and down with such momentum that he thought his shoulders would be lifted.

I wasn't alarmed. Even though it was, it was like I couldn't react.

In front of the stunned Subaru, the opponent released his arm, which he was grabbing, and spun around like a dance.

“Let me answer that! Across the black lake, this island--the swordsman reached the island of Guinnenhive, a swirling, evil-eyed you with a lovely feeling!"

A playful tone and workmanship that makes an unfaithful statement when you first meet someone. But the opponent pierced his attitude with majesty, and his play, without knowing the heart of Subaru.

It was as if I was the natural stage actor to receive the applause of Thunderclap.

"- Cecilus Segmund"

I stretched my arms to the left and right, and the way I called myself looked like a kabuki.

Of course, there shouldn't be any kabuki in this world, so it's not like I imitated the real thing. Nevertheless, there was a breathtaking force in its discernment.

However, it was not only the forceful pose, but also the familiar sound that made Subaru breathe. He frowned as soon as he remembered where it sounded.

I heard it from Abel's mouth.

His name was indeed one of the [Nine God Generals].

"I am Volakia's [Blue Thunder Light]." ― ― ― I'm a flower-shaped actor in this world.

Yes, Svalbard stared at the opponent who could speak majestically.

Both the name and title match Subaru's memory. I agree, but there was just one very big problem.

That 's--

"--Are you the strongest child in Volakia?"

― ― Cecilus Segmund, who laughed in front of him, was as old as Svalbard, and he was such a bad boy.

△▼△▼△▼△

― ― The serious impact of "infantilization" is corroding both the mind and body of Natsuki and Subaru.

The physical effects are easy to understand, and the Subaru now only has the physical abilities of a child about ten years old. In addition to strength in the arms and legs, endurance and instantaneous strength also regained before puberty.

However, it is doubtful how much Subaru's physical abilities were useful by the standards of this other world, so it may be said that it is a slight difference. It was a sad story.

What is far more serious than that is the effect on the inside than on the outside.

"Maybe your head is getting weaker..."

There is a discrepancy in the way of saying it, but it is an expression that describes the poor situation in which Subaru was placed.

Creativity, thinking, and the ability to draw knowledge are weak. Even if the desk you are using is the same as before, it feels like you can't reach the high drawer because of the weak power to open the drawer.

― ― In the Red Ribbon Castle's Temple, a hellish ghost attacked Albalt's opponent.

The number of trials that went wrong with that countermeasure was also very greatly influenced by the decline in thinking ability. I'm sure we found a solution a little sooner, before we shrink.

I don't think I had to feel pain a little sooner.

Fortunately, it wasn't Subaru at that time, but it was thanks to all of Subaru's important people.

I felt that everyone's voice and support resounded in my head ─ ─

"No, no, no, no..."

Suddenly, something came up and Subaru hurriedly wiped it with his hands.

I think the emotions that have come together without relief and sadness are probably close to homesickness. Before infantilization, I was able to withstand the rush and sense of responsibility, but apparently, my child's body has lowered to the barrier of tears. If you're not careful, you're going to cry out of tears.

"... don't cry, don't cry. You idiot, I'm not. No, I'm stupid."

No matter how much you mourn, I can't help anyone who isn't here.

Tears vaporized with friction, and Subaru struggled to get back to the point. If we don't, we won't have a chance to meet again.

What matters now is neither the weakness of my head nor the hope that has sprouted. We need to take a closer look at the nature of the problem.

That is,

"Did Abel or Zikl ever ask you about your age..."

Rubbing his nose, Subaru looks for answers to questions about his memory.

Cecilus Segmunt--I heard that it was the strongest of Vorakia's [Nine God Generals]. Which means he's the strongest man in the Empire.

In the first place, the reason for going to the Demon Capital Chaos Frame was to get Yoruna, one of the [Nine God Generals], to join us. In order to regain the throne, one [Nine Divine Generals] must have many allies.

Then, of course, everyone should have talked properly about the subject of the person of "I".

So, I'm opening a hard drawer and somehow looking for an answer.

"I can only recall the information that there is no crowd and not much to rely on..."

I'm not sure if it was because it was an impactful part, or if it was only because I could actually hear such a story, but that was all Subaru had.

Unfortunately, I can't find the information I want now, such as the appearance and age of the "Tsubaki".

"But if you're talking about children being the ones who don't have crowds, then I know."

A mysterious story that the strongest man in an empire is supposed to be the greatest, but he has no hope.

Even so, if you are told that the strongest person is a child, you will be convinced. No matter how strong, many adults will be reluctant to obey their children.

That's right, where Subaru made the compromise between prior information and new knowledge,

"--It looks like you've come to some kind of conclusion."

Cecilus, the blue-haired boy, stood in an unobtrusive posture in front of Subaru, who was called out and raised his face.

Leaving him alone, Subaru blinked his eyes, immersed in his thoughts.

"Please, I'm sorry, leave me alone forever."

"Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm used to being silent and letting go, hahaha!"

"Oh, I see..."

Cecilus reveals his white teeth and reveals his sad circumstances.

It was helpful if I didn't feel offended by the rude response even though I ate that attitude. After all, he has so much to ask.

I don't know what to ask, but I want to twist my neck.

"I'm sorry for being rude, but I apologize again. I....."

"Ahhhh! There is no problem. Of course, rudeness and disrespectfulness do not mean that many people pass through, but there are some measures that you can flush with to a certain extent. When the vessel is small and narrow and shallow, it feels like an end-player, doesn't it?

"Oh, oh, that's right. Thank you, thanks for your help. So I....."

"Speaking of which, I didn't ask because I had been thinking about it, but how did it look before?" I want to know if it is suitable for my hand because it was a decided face. I thought it would be added to the mold on the mouth of the proprietor or it would be on the line! "

"Hey, wait a minute, listen to me..."

"That's right! I'm curious about a pile of other things!" I don't know! Please talk about it carefully and clearly-- "

"-Listen to me!!"

Even if I calmly talked, all of it was blocked by the opponent's lightning stone fire.

Afraid of being pushed away by the momentum, Subaru unexpectedly shouted out loud. After that, Cecilus rolled up his long, sharp eyes to a happy Subaru.

Wow, did I do it again?

"Keibi, a template statement at a level you barely hear..."

Tempura, tempura, tempura?

"Well, in my local language, it means something like a promise."

"Ho ho, a local! That's interesting! And this was no good.”

A "blue thunderbolt" that makes your eyes shine and instantly jumps into the subject of curiosity.

Could the two names also symbolize his personality, which is too honest with his desire to fall as high as thunder? A restless personality at all.

--Perhaps it's also an act to hide your true nature.

“So what are you going to tell me? I can't stop my heart chirping about what I'm going to tell you! Haaa, I feel like I'm alive!"

"... it doesn't look like an act at all"

A boy who wants a story told from Subaru's mouth with glittering eyes.

I don't know if I can even tell a lie to him, an attitude that seems to have nothing to do with secrecy or mischief. In the first place, what's the point of setting such a trap on Subaru?

Without Abel, Subaru would not have attracted any attention in the Empire. --Of course, there were some exceptions that were trying to stubbornly take Subaru's life.

But that's an exception, and I hope I never want to see you again.

What's the matter?

"No, this way." Besides, I'm Natsuki Subaru..... "

Cecilus tilted his neck, naming the question in an attempt to mislead, and immediately realized that Subaru was "dead."

In the women's state, he called himself "Nutmi Schwartz" and was careful not to inadvertently spread his name in the empire, but the bypass of the children ruined it.

Perhaps, if Cecilus is in the position of an Imperial General, even if he knows the name of the King of the next kingdom, the Kingdom of Lugnica, and his associates,

"Natsuki Subaru, isn't it? It's a strange sound that somehow rolls mellowly over your tongue. Which is the family name, Natsuki or Subaru, by the way?"

"- Or maybe the family name is Natsuki and the name is Subaru."

"Haha, I understand. Let's call you Mr. Subaru! However, if you find a better way to call me, I'll change my mood, so I'll do it from now on."

Cecilus waved his hand in a flutter and replied with a face he didn't even know was fragmented.

While reassuring, a little suspicion sprouts in Subaru. --Is this child really Cecilus Segmund?

――――

If you think about it, anyone can just declare themselves. Of course, even the boy in front of you can do it. Just as Subaru declared himself to Natski Subaru.

Of course, the name and two names of Volakia's most powerful [Blue Thunder Light] are well known.

It's too much to happen to run into Vorakia's strongest in such an unfamiliar place. Rather, the child who admires its name and title calls himself "Blue Thunder Light". It would be much more natural to think that way.

"Oh no? You have some suspicious cloudy eyes, don't you?" What am I? "

”... you're the real [Blue Thunder Light]?”

"I'm out! I've been told again!" That's what they say every time! "

Cecilus burst out laughing as he threw suspicions at each other with a straight ball.

After all, I doubt if I can keep calling this boy Cecilus, but it seems that other people besides Subaru have doubts about the authenticity of his identity.

But--

"It's real in words! It's easy to argue, but that doesn't prove it, does it? That said, my covert information worthy of proof... I can't tell the difference between true and false. You don't know me that well, Subaru-san."

"That's... yeah, you're right."

"In that case, it would be a waste of time to argue the truth of my identity." Let's get rid of the waste and move on to the next topic! It's much more constructive, I'm a specialist in breaking it! "

Somehow, I felt like I was being told with momentum, but when I was suddenly folded without breathing, there was no room for objection. Besides, his words are extreme, but they are true.

There was no way for Subaru to distinguish the true meaning of [Blue Thunder Light]. I don't have a clue. Then I doubt the Temporary Cecilus, but I can't find an answer.

When that happens,

――――

Once the object of interest was removed from Cecilus, the next question that arose was the situation.

In an attempt to get Albert to solve the [infantilization], Subaru's consciousness was blank - no, it was swallowed up by something even more black and scratched away.

But I can see that you didn't just pass out without anything.

For example, Subaru, who is facing Cecilus, is sleeping on a sluggish bed.

Even in the limited village of Südrak, efforts were made to use soft plants and trees to create a comfortable bed. But I don't feel that kind of consideration for this bed.

All I have is a table where I can just lie down.

Helping to create that impression of destruction is the content of a mysterious room with nothing but beds.

The dry, cracked gray walls stained the floor with stains that don't fall off. The moist air is bad on my chest, and I can't say it's a comfortable environment.

It was like being locked up in a jail cell.

"Um, Sessi, can I ask you a question?"

"Sessie! What, is that me?"

"I wonder if I can call someone who doesn't know if it's real or fake, Cecilus..."

I don't intend to do anything in case I ever met the real Cecilus anywhere, but that was where Subaru dropped the real boy.

It was rude to call me Temporary Cecilus, and it was troublesome in the first place. Apart from being suspiciously familiar, his attitude is very friendly, so I want to avoid being disliked.

"Rather, it may be the friendliest of the Empire... no, I don't think Flop and Medium are going to beat each other." But it feels like a good match. "

However, there were some instances where they were friendly at first, so overconfidence was forbidden.

When that happened, it was unlucky that the O'Connell brothers and sisters who happened to meet when they were with Lem. It may be the greatest luck of his life.

Did Flop call you back then? Maybe I didn't see much of Subaru with Lem.

"Sesshi, Sesshi... what a special feeling!" It sounds strange! When I think back, I don't even have the experience of being nicknamed, and it's tasty and fresh. ”

Meanwhile, Cecilus went up in tension to his first nickname.

Somehow I chose an honest name, but if you're so happy with it, it's bad for me to give you water, and I don't think you need a substitute. I don't have any other ideas in particular.

"Well, I'll come back to that... but this isn't a chaos frame, is it?"

"Chaos Frame... is this the Magic Capital?" Yeah, not at all. In the Empire, the opposite is true of the West and the East! Like I said, this is Swordsman Lone Island, Guinnenheib. "

"Kendokoto..."

Guinnenheib rolls his tongue at the words he's unfamiliar with, and Subaru bends his lips.

Anyway, I had a bad feeling about the crown. If the Chaos Frame was called the "Magic Capital" because of the large number of subconscious people living there, there must be a reason why Guinn Hive was crowned that way.

Kendkotow, that 's-

― Sword slave, solitary island?

The image of the sword guy echoing was easy to hear and recognize.

Indeed, yes, it must be a word that Al has occasionally blurred. I spent more than a dozen years as a swordsman somewhere, feeling like I was going to die.

Even though I lost my left arm, I managed to survive and escape the environment.

Then this place is...

"No way, the death game venue...?"

"Hmm? Is that a local word? What do you mean?"

"... in the sense of a coliseum or a venue for killing each other"

"Oh, I see! Then you'll understand quickly!" Exactly this is the "amazing venue"! "

"---"

Cecilus laughed at Subaru, who was frightened of the possibility of being attacked by a terrible chill.

Svalbard even suspected a hollow ear in his faint tone of voice as he struck his hand in front of his chest. But no matter how long I waited, the words I wanted to hear from Cecilus's mouth didn't leak out.

--No, the leakage was a leak, but it wasn't the word I wanted to hear.

"Once again, welcome to the Isle of Lonely Sword." Young people like me and Subaru-san don't come in very often, and even if they do, they won't live long, so I'm hoping for it. "

"Ba......"

What should I do?

"That's ridiculous! That's... that's a mistake!"

With a change of blood, Svalbard turned his voice to Cecilus in front of him.

It's too unacceptable. It is a mistake to be in such a place.

"I mean, until I wake up, I'll be in the chaos frame..."

"No, no, I was on this bed while I was sleeping." I was nodding. It's not very comfortable to sleep in, so I know how it feels to be nodded, but in the meantime, it's also in the chaos frame. "

"That's not what I meant! You know what I mean!?"

Hmmm.

Frustrated by Cecilus' poor understanding, Subaru bites as he spits.

With one eye closed on the action, Cecilus became ready to hear without holding his mouth. Svalbard's eyes swimmed as he looked around the room.

"I was in a chaos frame." It's a mistake to be here. Some of them were working together. "

"Even if it's a mistake, I'm here as a matter of fact." If you admit that, I will be the one who was sent from the island to the Demon City. "

"If I'm on the Isle of Lonely Sword, I can do the opposite!"

"I don't know. I can tell you the answer right away."

Without understanding, Cecilus shrugged his shoulders at Subaru, who was awakened, and stretched out his hand quietly. The thin fingertips show the wall in the back of the room.

- No, it's not a wall. He showed the iron lattice window there.

The windows that let in the damp breeze are high, but they connect to the outside of the room.

"No, no, no, no...!"

Shaking his lips, Subaru jumps out of bed in a panic.

As soon as I stood barefoot on the cold floor, my head shook and I felt weak, but I managed to hold it back and rushed to the window. Then he jumped and grabbed the iron lattice, twisted his body in disguise, and forced himself to lift his body and put his chin on the window sill.

And somehow, I turned to the view outside.

- Umi, mi?

"Yeah, it's a lake."

Seeing the view from the window, Subaru muttered in a daze.

Cecilus picked up the murmur and tried to affirm Subaru's words. But Cecilus' affirmation was a mistake. Subaru said "sea", not "lake".

Yes, Cecilus made a mistake. If you made a mistake, the view from outside might be a mistake.

Even Subaru knew that it was only his desire.

"As far as I can see, all the black lakes..."

"Ruru and all around the island are surrounded by lakes. The only way to get to and from the opposite shore is to" raise "a single bridge. Exactly the essence of nature, or prison!"

I couldn't lift my body anymore, and Subaru slipped out of the window as he slipped. Cecilus's mouth was in excellent shape as Svalbard fell to his knees on the floor.

Why is he in such a good mood in such a desperate place?

"Why...?"

Yeah?

"Why do you look so happy?"

If it was an adult Subaru, I probably wouldn't be able to ask straightforwardly.

Since I am a child who has no control over myself, my questions are overflowing with mouths. In response to Subaru's overly honest question, Cecilus gave a childish look and said, "That's it!”, he recalled.

"Because I feel it, the end of the opening!"

"Introduction..."

"I'm pathetic, I'm not sure, but I'm thrown into the 'amazing venue', and the bloodbathing death must be repeated!" A fresh breeze with a different hunch than the scent of blood that blew underneath me! If that's the case, then it's a lie that the conversation doesn't work. "

Naggingly, I can't understand the story of Cecilus with his fingers up. - No, it's not that I don't understand. I don't want to understand.

Because if you want to fully understand what he's saying, it 's--

"Otherwise, it won't be interesting. To keep a flower-shaped actor on the stage sleeve and kill her is a blasphemy that can't be done without proper writing!"

― ― Vorakia's strongest [blue lightning] is the story brain, isn't it?

△▼△▼△▼△

The story of Cecilus Segmund, the brain that seeks turbulence, has a large number of mouths.

That's why I suspect that if I leave it alone, it will continue to make a mess of things.

"So, somehow I was walking outside, and there was you just climbing onto the shore." Isn't that great? This isn't very common. It's fateful, or it's storied. "

――――

"I don't know if you know me, but I've been a pretty good thinker for a long time." I feel like I've been lured by the wind today, so I walked around and found it, and I'm afraid of being touched by the world. "

――――

"Of course, after surviving that situation, you are also likely to be loved by the world!" Let me show you something, Soobar...... Baloo...... hmm? "

Cecilus is twisting his neck and thinking about something bumpy.

As Svalbard listens to the meaningless and not-so-consuming story that spills out of his lips, Svalbard moves barefoot on a cold stone floor.

It's reckless to go outside the waking room and walk in the unfamiliar land.

Still, there's something I need to make sure of.

"It's true, isn't it? I wasn't alone."

"Huh? Yeah, yeah, it's true. I would like to praise you for being brilliant, including that. Not only have you been saved in that situation, but you've really been blessed with luck and courage to be able to help your opponent properly... for some kind of talent!"

"It's good to have talent or courage or something like that. So, the opponent is..."

"It was a little girl." It's about the same as Bassu... oh! This sounds pretty good, doesn't it? "

The story is easily off the point, but I was able to find out what I wanted to hear.

Perhaps what bothers Cecilus is the way he called Subaru against his [Cecilia]. If it's not a terrible nickname, it doesn't matter what you call it.

The important thing is that the story that came out in front of him--

"-Louis"

About the same age as myself--just about the same age as Subaru, I naturally remembered Louis. In the circumstances, the medium was reduced to about the same age, but I was not in the Tenkaku, so I won't be a candidate.

Honestly, Svalbard's mentality toward Louis is a mess.

"I'm not going to throw you out without answering that question." Besides, maybe with your power..... "

With Louis' Transfer, we might be able to get out of this noisy island.

I still don't know the whole island, and Cecilus is the only person I've met here, but as far as I can tell, it must be the worst environment for a child to spend time.

That's why--

We need to get out of this island a second sooner.

"It's quite ambitious, but I think there are many walls." According to what I've heard, there's only one person who escaped from here in the past, and that's why the "curse rule" was created. "

"Then I'll be the second one." No, there are three of us. "

Svalbard unexpectedly replied as his determination caught him in the mouth. Cecilus gently watched as he heard it, then whistled with a high voice.

I seemed to be in a good mood with him, but I couldn't afford to.

And then--

"Bassou, here it is."

Cecilus suddenly stopped as he walked for a moment through the dim, damp, cold airy passage. Hand in hand behind his head, he choked on his jaw in a room with a thin wooden door.

Looking up at the door, Subaru asked, "What is this place?" when I asked,

"It's a healing room. It's called a morgue." Because there are not many people who die in the arena and become corpses here. "

"Well, it's a healing room, isn't it?" What about the healer? "

"Healer! There are healers, but no such precious magician." If you put it down, there will be fewer deaths, but that's not the policy of the island lord. "

――――

Svalbard suddenly opened his mouth.

There were very few people in the Volakian Empire who could use healing magic. That's why Lem's healing magic was treated as precious.

But Louis was thrown into the healing room without a healing surgeon.

"The girl with you was so weak, that's why." The name of this room is to treat the injured person, so there is a blanket in the treatment tool. The way we treated the swordsman was just like before, and it was the worst sleeping experience, right? "

"... only Sessi is the sword guy, right?"

"Ahahaha, that's right! Come on, let's go face to face."

Cecilus slapped me on the shoulder as I read through Subaru's heart in duplicate.

With that momentum, Subaru swallowed his spit and turned to the door ready. Then he opened the door and frowned at the unpleasant smell overflowing from inside.

What overflowed was a mixed smell of blood and meat that looked like an unhygienic pole.

Whether the hygiene concept is dead, you can see used tools and appropriately washed bandages dried in a room that is not that large.

In such an environment, which is not very good,

You're the one who's sleeping over there.

"--Oh, Louie!"

Cecilus pointed to the bed in the back as he glanced inside.

At first glance, it looks like a room that serves as a medical room. There are two better beds than the one where Subaru was sleeping, and the blanket in the back is small and swollen.

The Subaru rushed over to you in a rush of excitement. I couldn't decide what to say to Louie there, but I hurried.

But--

- Huh?

Svalbard, who rushed over and tried to shake his little shoulder, was amazed.

Not because I couldn't find a word to call. --because I couldn't find anyone to speak with.

It wasn't Louis, who was complicated by Svalbard's heart, the girl who lay there and was pulled up to the island with Svalbard.

Two corners that are too prominent on the small head and flaxy hair aligned on the shoulder. A girl who was stripped of the gorgeous mystery wrapped in her small body and made into a simple underwear.

It wasn't Louis, it wasn't Chaos Frame in the Demon Capital, and it wasn't a medium ally made small by Albalt's magic.

I was there...

"... oh, Tanza?"

There was no response to the shivering call from the sleeping girl.

But if I don't get a reply, I can see it. A girl who was neither Louis nor Medium, she was a servant of Yoruna Michigre, the master of the Magic Capital, and a Tanza of the Deermen.

"Why, why is this girl here...?"

Huh? Did I do something again?

Showing a sleeping face that was different from what I imagined, Cecilus said that behind the astonishing Subaru, he was dumbfounded.

Of course, it's not his fault. It's not that--

"That's not true! I was told that Louis was here."

"Well, how was it?" I told you there was a girl who went up to the island with Bassu. I'm surprised it wasn't what Bassou thought it was. "

"Uu, kuu....."

Unable to respond to Cecilus' plausible answer, Subaru gets stuck in words.

Sure enough, it was Subaru who thought it was Louis when he said "the girl he was with". I had no choice but to apologize to Cecilus for that.

But this is strange. Why is Tanza with Subaru?

If Tanza was the one we were with in the first place,

"What's going to happen to Louis..."

With his hands on his head, Subaru was worried about Louis' safety, who was invisible.

Abel, Al, and Medium are putting Louis at risk by telling her who she is. Yoruna may protect Louis, but she doesn't know who he is.

If I knew that Louis was the Bishop of Major Sins, I would change my mind about her like a medium.

And I can't find a reason why Abel and the others should hide Louis' identity.

I have to take you back to Lem.

Louis' presence was a thin, frail thread connecting Lem and Subaru, who had no memory.

Louis followed me here without permission, but Subaru had a reason to take me home. Best of all, it wasn't decided what to do with Louis inside Svalbard.

And yet, I don't know where Louis is, and Subaru is on this island for some reason.

"It's not like this...!"

Various things are mixed together, and Subaru's thoughts are not organized at all.

Still, I know we need to get back to the Chaos Frame from this island right now.

"If possible, take this child with you..."

"Oh, is that okay?" Wasn't that what Bassu expected? "

"No. No, but there's no reason to leave it, is there? Besides, Yoruna-san must be looking for her."

Yoruna was loving and spared no expense even for the young child she had just met.

Without her, we wouldn't have picked up a winning match against Albert, or been able to raise that strange old man to the ground in the first place.

That's why I think it's natural to give you back the tanza under Yoruna.

I think the idea of enthusiasm is fine, but as I said, it's difficult.

However, Cecilus' opinion points to Subaru's feelings.

Cecilus' story is basically Sylvia's, even if her speech and behavior remain the same from the start. That said, I can't help but be discouraged by the harshness of reality.

“I heard you say it's hard to get out. But if you look for a ship or drop the bridge I just mentioned....."

"The bridge is' raised '." That's a challenge, but the problem is somewhere else. The biggest problem is the curse law, the curse law. "

"Ju-jutsu...?"

It's an unfamiliar word, but I can't ignore it if it's said to be the biggest problem.

And Cecilus retracted his hands unto Subaru, who was frowned upon, and said, Yea, into the sleeves of his own cock.

"The rule of the curse, the 'curse rule'. This is a very troublesome and powerful decision laid down by the Island Lord who controls this lonely island. Tear or die! Turn your back! If you resist, you will die! - The curse of death!"

"...... ah"

"That's what's covering the island." Do you understand? "

Cecilus said as he fluttered his sleeves around the spot.

There was no serious flavor in a light way, but to laugh at it as a lie, the curse of death and the existence of the moon matched too well with the image of the Empire.

Ji, so, no one can get out of here?

"Yes, that's right. Otherwise, I would have left here long ago. That's right, the lake's demonic beasts are strong enemies, but I can run on the water if I want to. Do you know how to run on water? Before your right foot sinks, put your left foot out..."

To Subaru's horror, Cecilus begins to talk about his obsolescence.

It seems that ninjas run on water, but there are many people in this world who can actually do it. It's not like you're running away from reality like that.

"Oh, that island owner?" Is this the one who's cursing you? Then why don't you let that person lift the curse? it's a mistake for me to be here.... "

"Hahaha, that's an interesting idiot! Even if I was wrong, I was one of the swordsmen when I went up to the island and was engraved with a sign. The fact that the swordsman has no guts is a testimony to his title."

"---"

Being denied words, Subaru unexpectedly took a breath.

When I heard the word "curse," Subaru only had unpleasant memories. And it was decided that memories would be painted in a worse way.

"I'm not kidding..."

Before I knew it, I was thrown into a place I didn't know, with a child I didn't know much about. Not only that, but if you try to get out of that unknown place on your own, you'll be taught by an unknown opponent that you might die because of a curse.

What the hell do you believe in, and how do you know what's going on?

"... yes, yes, yes! Sessi! You're the [Nine Divine Generals], aren't you?!"

"Oh, my God."

"If that's the case, maybe we can get in touch with the outside world?" Um, this sleeping child, this Yoruna-san's child in the chaos frame..... "

Svalbard grabbed Cecilus by the shoulders as his eyes bleed.

Subaru forgets his shameless blindfold at Cecilus, who has one eye on his feelings.

Even though I treated Cecilus as a lying wolf boy before, I expect him to be the "blue lightning" as he called himself.

He is the [Nine Divine Generals] of the Volakian Empire, and he is the most powerful person in the empire, so he may listen to what he has to say.

It was the idea of a really cashable child, and I could only come up with it.

Therefore, Svalbard's thoughts are as empty as usual.

Alternatively, if thought had not been dullened by "infantilization", it might have come to Subaru himself, by natural questioning.

That 's--

"You know, bassuu."

Ah, oh, what is it?

What is this kushinsho?

"Huh...?"

Cecilus tilted his neck wondering as he grabbed his shoulders by Subaru.

Svalbard could not swallow what he was told and was stunned. And Cecilus continued to say to Subaru,

"Actually, I don't really know why I'm here." I think the story will move with some kind of development, but that's probably the bassoon. "

How dare you make a bomb statement that puts more confusion into the young Subaru's head.
