Everyone started to walk back, and at this moment, the number of monsters suddenly increased.
Many villagers were bitten, but fortunately other villagers and Emilia's ice spikes provided timely support. At this time, Rem also took out a meteor hammer and danced with it vigorously, showing extraordinary battlefield suppression power.
In addition, it was only half an hour away from the barrier entrance. In the end, after spending more than twice the time to get here, everyone returned safely to Aram Village.
After Emilia, Natsuki Subaru and Rem accepted the villagers' thanks, they arranged for people to guard the area near the barrier and then planned to return to the mansion.
Going up the mountain is always slower than going down. Although we did not find the culprit who kidnapped the children, nor did we find the suspicious child named Meili, we successfully rescued the children and reminded the villagers to be vigilant. This operation was still very smooth.
[Rem heard that there is a beast master who has the power to control beasts and looks like a little girl. ]
On the way home, Rem talked about what she had seen and heard. No one knew where she heard it from, but it happened to match what they were experiencing.
[Are you saying that Meili is the beast master? ]
【It is possible.】
[Damn it! That child is actually quite cute! ]
[…Is this the right time to say something like this? ]
「Hahaha, this is really Subaru-kun’s style~」
The atmosphere was quite good when they returned to the city. The hidden dangers had been resolved, and everyone in Aram Village trusted them more.
——This emotion, until they saw the burning Roswaal Mansion.
[What happened?!?]
Subaru Natsuki looked at the mansion that illuminated the night sky. Although he had only been here for a few days, Roswaal, who had a strange accent but was quite friendly, Ram, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, the all-round maid Rem, Emilia, and everyone else left a good impression on him.
He thought he would work as a deacon in the mansion for a long time.
If he never had the chance to go back in this life, perhaps he would work in the mansion until he got married, or until Emilia no longer needed him.
He had thought about this future!
However, now, the mansion, which was an important piece of the puzzle in his envisioned future, was suddenly burning with fire!
It was as if a piece of his heart was suddenly dug out, followed by an intense rage!
[Who is it? Who did it? ! ! ]
[Onee-sama! ! ]
Without even saying anything, Rem rushed into the mansion when she saw the fire, and from what she said, you could tell who she was so worried about.
[Oh right! Natsuyo! Conan! Rosemary and Goblin Slayer! Kotori! ]
Natsuki Subaru's heart started beating fast and he immediately ran in.
[Emilia, hurry up! ]
143
Chapter 143 Why is it you! ! ?
The further he walked, the more Natsuki Subaru's heart sank.
As a modern useless person who grew up in a peaceful country, Natsuki Subaru has never encountered a dead person since he was a child.
He was lucky enough not to have encountered any traffic accidents that resulted in bleeding and injuries. As for arson and violence... he did occasionally encounter street fights, but those were the kind that the police would only shake their heads and sigh. How could they be compared with the real disaster before his eyes, where houses collapsed and flames devoured all life?
The thick black smoke occasionally choked him and made him cough, and the pungent smell made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes; the high temperature caused by the burning made his hairs curl together - he almost smelled the smell of burnt fur, but he couldn't be sure whether the smell came from himself or from someone else!
【Hurry! Hurry! 】
Natsuki Subaru shouted anxiously. He didn't know who he was calling. If he thought about it carefully, he should be able to conclude that it was Emilia.
Because in his impression, Emilia is almost omnipotent!
She is beautiful, kind, and has shown considerable leadership and demeanor in this incident. Moreover, Emilia is an elf sorcerer!
Since he could manipulate ice to attack monsters, then using water to put out fires should be no problem at all.
Natsuki Subaru took it for granted that this was a sign of his trust in Emilia. Was this a sign that he, who called himself Emilia's knight, was unqualified? He didn't have the energy to think about it right now.
The deeper you go, the more intense the fire burns.
The crackling sounds of the building being unable to bear the weight came one after another, and Natsuki Subaru's heart rose higher and higher, because until now, he had not seen anyone, nor heard any sound other than the flames engulfing the building.
There are more than just a few of them in the mansion. Even if Rem is very capable, they cannot manage such a large mansion alone.
So it's very unusual that there hasn't been any other voice until now.
This meant that either everyone would be killed the moment the fire broke out, or...
[There is someone else here! Someone sneaked into the mansion! He hurt the people in the mansion! ]
It is not difficult to come to this conclusion, but as soon as Natsuki Subaru thinks about the harm done to Kotori, Conan and the others, and that the raging fire in front of him is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, he can't suppress his anger!
Burnt Salt Lemon: Too much! Who did this?
Itsuka Shido: ...No no no no no, no, no way?
Rem: Mr. Gokawa, are you someone related to Kotori? It sounds like you have some clues about this matter. If you know who did it, can you please tell Rem?
Gokawa Kotori: …
Tobiichi Origami:! !
Yuki Suho: It seems that there is a secret hidden here that is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea. Perhaps, we need to calm down, as the truth of the matter may exceed everyone's expectations.
Natsuki Subaru doesn't care who does such an excessive thing!
If he finds that person, he will definitely teach him a lesson!
If the other party is not made to kneel down crying and sincerely repent his sins, Natsuki Subaru will never forgive him!
[There is sound! ! ]
After walking into the lobby of the mansion, Natsuki Subaru immediately heard a sound coming from the second floor.
He tried to rush upstairs in a hurry, but suddenly stopped and looked around. Finally, he pried a one-handed sword from the hand of a humanoid metal armor that was used as a decoration next to him. Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth and ran upstairs despite the high temperature brought by the flames.
Emilia's voice came from behind him, but Natsuki Subaru was so furious that he could no longer hear Bai Yueguang's voice.
This was not only due to his rage, but also because when he was walking up the stairs, he accidentally caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye——
A burnt body of a child.
[Ugh!——! ]
Natsuki Subaru had never seen such a tragic scene.
He had seen sexy beauties who called themselves "Gut Hunters" cutting open other people's bodies and taking out their intestines, and he himself had even been subjected to this treatment.
But the visual impact of dying by being cut by a sharp weapon and dying by being burned by fire is different.
Especially when the person who was burned to death was a child who was only one meter tall, the visual impact brought about a shock to the soul that cannot be compared with any horror movie!
Mao Lilan: Conan!!!
Conan Edogawa: Sister Xiaolan, Xiaolan! I'm here...
Conan, who was outside the light curtain, also felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
Logically speaking, as a famous high school detective, he has been to many crime scenes and has probably seen more dead people with his own eyes than the average person has seen on TV in his lifetime. Therefore, he should be resistant to seeing people die in front of his eyes.
However, in the first place, this is not the "death" of other people, but one's own death;
Secondly, in terms of the way of death, it is difficult for Conan to find a scene in his own experience that is more cruel than a child who is burned black, has atrophied muscles, and no longer looks like a human.
——Except for a certain squid’s battlefield.
Natsuki Subaru stood there retching for a while, and when the pain and despair filled him with rage that burned him even more vigorously, he regained the ability to move.
He continued to walk forward, and a familiar set of shining knight armor with the upper body melted appeared before him.
Natsuki Subaru stopped and clenched his fists. The tears evaporated the moment they flowed down. He continued to walk up, speeding up, and came to the second floor, until he stumbled when the silver cat was pinned down by the collapsed wall and couldn't move.
【Damn it aa ...
Natsuki Subaru shouted loudly as he rushed into the battlefield where the sound gradually became clearer.
At this moment, no matter who the opponent is, he has the courage to punch the opponent with all his strength!
However, as Natsuki Subaru ran, his legs, which were once full of power, gradually lost their strength.
——He had reached the edge of the battlefield where the sound of bangs and clangs was resounding, and his eyes could already see the two people in the center of the battlefield.
One of them he was very familiar with - the sexy big sister with a voluptuous figure in a tight black and purple jumpsuit, the pervert who liked to play with other people's intestines, the woman who called herself the "Intestine Hunter"!
Natsuki Subaru was both surprised and not surprised that she would appear here.
After all, bad guys won’t suddenly become good for no reason. He was originally a killer targeting Emilia, and this time he appeared in the mansion. His purpose is also to take Emilia’s life, right?
But, that other person! The one who fought against the "Gut Hunter" and manipulated the flames! She was also someone Subaru knew?!
Why……
Why? ! !
【Why is it you? ! ! Itsuka Kotori? ! ! ! !】
She is clad in heavenly feather robes like a goddess, but her expression is as bloodthirsty as that of an Asura!
This fire elf is nothing like the shy and cute little girl in Natsuki Subaru's memory. A cruel smile blooms on the face of the Flame Demon!
Hearing Natsuki Subaru's cry, "Gokawa Kotori" slowly turned her head. Her sadistic movements, as if she was deliberately delaying the countdown to the death of her prey, made her look cruel yet full of alien beauty.
[Subaru-nii-san!!]
There seemed to be some sound coming, but Natsuki Subaru couldn't make out what it was.
The red angel and the fiery demon stretched out their hands towards him, and the next moment, Natsuki Subaru's consciousness was interrupted.
……
【! ! ! ! ! ! 】
144
Chapter 144 The third week begins.
[Subaru-kun? What's wrong, Subaru-kun? Why is your expression so scary? ]
「Ah——Ah, Emilia——」
Natsuki Subaru blinked cautiously with his wide eyes.
With this action, he confirmed that he could still move, he - should still be alive!
The next moment, Natsuki Subaru frantically beat himself with his hands, as if there was an invisible flame burning on his body.
It was not until Emilia came to him worriedly and held his hand, and Natsuki Subaru was sure that there was no raging flame that could destroy everything on his body, that he slowly stopped his actions.
He survived?!
Natsuki Subaru slowly raised his head. The scene before him was indeed impressive in his memory.
That should have been not long ago. The group of transferees who came to Roswaal Mansion at Emilia's invitation met the owner of the mansion the next morning after a good rest.
[…That is to say…time…]
Time—Oh, and he also has the ability to return from the dead!
Hasn't he experienced this once? A super stingy cheat that only activates after he dies! A cheating-level shit ability that can take him back to a certain time before his death!
Although he didn't know why the location changed from the fruit stand in the capital of the Kingdom of Lugnica to the Roswaal Mansion in the Territory of Mezas, he did survive the hands of the fire demon that burned everything!
Felt: Hello? What's going on? Aren't they partners? Why would that woman on fire attack him?
Firut still has a good impression of Natsuki Subaru.
After all, if Natsuki Subaru hadn't intervened, she would most likely have been ripped apart by the Gut Hunter in Grandpa Rom's warehouse along with that simple-minded silver-haired half-elf.
Although this guy reported them after finding a way to avoid this fatal situation, this also saved them from the threat of the Hunter of Intestines. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that Feruth owes that guy a life.
So when he saw two people who he thought were his companions killing each other, Felt immediately spoke from Subaru Natsuki’s perspective.
In response, the real person outside the light curtain did not respond.
Felt: Damn it! Speak!
