When we reached the village, the fire lit up brightly, pushing back the darkness of the night.
Usually no one can light enough fire to keep the village bright at this hour.
Standing beside me, it swallowed air through its mouth. I am Rem, I managed to understand the strange atmosphere in the surroundings; his face showed that I understood that something was wrong.
A young man in the village recognized me and Rem. Looking at us, his eyes shone with hope as he rushed towards us.
hey, these are two guys from the mansion.What are you doing here at such a time.
Rem interrupted the young man's question, "It looks like we're here, something happened?"
The young man looked surprised by the way he spoke of Rem. The young man understood the question and immediately replied enthusiastically.
“Actually, a group of village children are missing. We know they're playing till dark, but... Well, that's why a lot of people are looking for them
Although he was a little vague with information, Rem understood that the situation was bad.
Before Rem could ask a few more questions, he stopped.
- The missing children are Luka, Petra, Mildo and the others, right? -
- Yes, they... Do you know where they're going?
Listening to the young man's statement, he stretched his shoulders and said...
"I don't want to talk with doubt, so I'll talk about the situation in general..-I*he paused for a moment*... Look, the kids are playing with a girl, with hair, blue... They're braided and he's carrying a dog, isn't he?
The young man nodded at almost the same time he finished speaking.
“It turns out this dog is mabestia and I suspect that the blue haired girl has the ability to tame these animals—”
After saying those words, the young man and Rem were shocked by what happened, and Rem with my suspicion.
- you know, when I was on a business trip, I heard about the assassin organization in Gusteko, the information was received from a retired soldier ... the problem is I'm talking about two killers specifically. A duck-billed chicken innards hunter and a girl who has the skills to tame mabestia
The young man froze, and the blue-haired maid. Despite being curious about the information, he instantly became serious.
"I want you to tell Grandma Milda and Muraosa what you just said to me, I also want everyone in the village to stay home and leave all the young people with weapons to protect the others."
After a few seconds, the young man ran out to warn the others, leaving Rem and I alone.
“Rem, there is a kind of barrier in the forest to protect the village from mabestia, right?”
“Yes, Lord Roswaal made a barrier to protect the village.”.
Before Rem finished speaking, I gestured behind his back.
"So someone broke the barrier."
Rem turned around to see where he was pointing, at the tree next to the many glowing crystals.
- Brake.
I called the blue-haired maid to distract her from her shock, which seemed to work as her attention was to me for less than a second.
I want you to drive me to the woods to see if we can get the kids back. I can't do it, you know my strength is zero
- Subaru! What are you.?-.
It seems that even if I change some things, not everything will be different ...
the kids are there. I have to save them.-
do you have convincing evidence of this? The permission of Lord Roswaal is required before I cross the ba...
Sorry Brake. But a tear in the barrier and a bite in my hand are enough to prove my point-of-moment
I raised my left hand so that Rem could see the animal bite marks on his body.
- As I told the young man who had died, so did your older sister. The children were playing with the dog that bit me. From the bite I got a curse - I paused for a moment before continuing - all I knew about the curse was that it was very strong, very strong, strong enough to kill someone if he doesn't make it on time
After all, even a strong girl like you fell into the hands of this curse, I don't want to face an angry Ram, and I'm sure if Beatrice offers me to escape. , after all this.
I was a little scared to jump off a cliff. Of course you think in the anime, Subaru died instantly because of what you feared... Well, for those of you who read the novel, understand that Subaru lives at least about 5 seconds when he jumps.
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
“Subaru, as much as I want to help you. You can't decide this on your own... First of all, the situation is too suspicious
"Are you suggesting that now that Lord Mathers is gone, this could be an attack on the mansion?"
The brakes nodded without a sound.
- I can't leave them. With or without your help, I will save these children.
He understood Rem's mind, because his mission was to protect the people in the mansion. Not in the village, but...
"Why did you decide... Subaru, what's wrong with your village?"
After hearing his words, I wonder why am I so worried? Wouldn't it be better if I was sure? many thoughts told me to give up. But I heard something, the voice of my sister.

[Subject fired]
Brother, when we grow up ...
I turned my sister's picture into someone else's picture ... Petras.
“Subaru, when I grow up, I want to marry you!”
After hearing this, I finally understood ...
Not because I'm a hero who helps everyone, but because I'm the hero Emilia, the hero Beatrice, the Hero Felt and Petra...
“I swear I'll save them!” I shouted while running into the forest.
- Wait!-
