And the reason why Parker couldn't show up recently, and the connection between the two has become weak, actually has a lot to do with her.

Because she learned from Crusch about her adoptive parents who didn't exist in her memory, and because she met the lazy archbishop Petichius Romanee-Conti who had a relationship with her behind her, she began to change. To be mindful, and to explore things that have been forgotten in the past.

Wanting to recall the past is obviously a violation and conflict with the contract between her and Parker. Even if she doesn't have that idea subjectively, objectively, she is indeed alienating the contract with Parker.

The final result was that the connection between her and Parker became very weak, and even if Parker wanted to appear, it became very difficult.

And now...

"I can't be immersed in the memory forever..."

Emilia gently patted her cheeks with her hands, then rushed to the grass and stood up.

Even though she recalled the past, her purpose has not changed from the beginning to the end.Conduct trials, overcome trials, help Subaru, and stand by Subaru's side.

What she needs to do is move on, not stay where she is.Because she is no longer a child, she has to take on her own responsibilities.

And just when Emilia was about to walk towards the ruins, familiar footsteps came from not far away.

"……Pleiades?"

Chapter 385 Just Your Emilia

"Continuous challenges and trials, is it really okay?"

Following Emilia, Subaru, who was walking towards the ruins...that is, the witch's cemetery, asked suspiciously: "Even if you want to continue the trial, can you continue tomorrow?"

"I think Emilia, you should take a good rest tonight, it's better not to rush."

"... Subaru, do you not believe me?"

Emilia tilted her head and asked Subaru in confusion.And her behavior like this obviously stimulated Subaru's nerves.

"How could you not believe in Emilia!"

"I just think that although this kind of thing doesn't do any harm to the body, it still places a heavy burden on the spirit, right? So if you take a good rest, you should be able to cope with the trial in a better state, right?"

"My words, it's okay!"

Emilia shook her head and said, "I'm very energetic now, and I'm also very motivated because of seeing Subaru, so it's absolutely fine this time."

"……no problem."

Subaru scratched his head and sighed.

When he was returning to the village from Ryuzu Bilma, he found Emilia when he heard from Miss System that there was someone nearby.

At first, his thought was that if there was someone nearby, could that person be Luzi Sima who had lost his status as a manager, or Garfield, whom Luzi Bierma said.

In the spirit of finding two people sooner or later, it might be a better idea if it can be resolved earlier, so he gave up going directly to the village and approaching the forest.

And although discovering Emilia is also a pretty good thing, and the two people who met at night also have a romantic feeling, but Emilia suddenly proposed that he accompany him to the trial again, It broke Subaru's idea of ​​romance.

He had already thought about it, in order to prevent Emilia from facing the memories of the past that he didn't know that might be extremely painful and painful, he would completely break through the trial.

Even because of this, he continued the trials and successfully passed the first trial.

However, if Emilia still chooses to face the trial, although Subaru does not hate or even like such a courageous character, it is also contrary to his idea of ​​protecting Emilia from harm. .

Although he believed that Emilia's decision was not wrong, Subaru still decided to tell the truth about the fact that he had passed the test out of caring and protective feelings.

Then, Subaru grabbed Emilia.

"That, Emilia."

"What's wrong, Subaru?"

Emilia tilted her head in confusion.

"If you still want to persuade me, then you don't need to say it. I must confirm that my state is fine before I want to continue the trial. It's not forced!"

"It's not that kind of thing, but I don't think there is any need for you, Emilia, to continue the trial."

Subaru scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I passed the test just before."

"Passed—!?"

Emilia showed a look of surprise, and even stretched out her hand to cover her mouth subconsciously.

"When did it happen... wait a minute, did you mean Subaru, you went to the trial after you left Roswaal?"

"Did Roswaal force you to go!?"

"No, it has nothing to do with Roswaal, it's just what I want to go."

Although it actually had something to do with what Roswaal said, Subaru didn't want to make any trouble at this time.Because, Subaru felt that Emilia seemed a little angry, although he didn't understand why she was angry.

"Subaru, don't do this kind of thing without telling us!"

"If it was like that before we met..."

"Don't worry about that, I'm fine."

Subaru shook his head with a smile. He knew that Emilia was referring to the state when he woke up from the ruins.

"The content of the trial is to face your past. It's nothing to talk about. It's just some small things when you were immature. If Emilia wants to know, I can tell you."

"...If I can understand Subaru better, of course I would like to know."

Emilia sighed, suddenly feeling that all her efforts and determination had been in vain.Because, didn't Subaru solve all the problems again before she knew it?

That is to say, even though she has tried very hard to stand by Subaru's side and be the one who can bear everything for Subaru, in the end she has become the one to be protected, which Emilia has to admit was a huge hit.

"That is to say, can we leave the sanctuary tomorrow?"

"...Well, if it's about leaving the sanctuary, it won't work for the time being."

Subaru laughed awkwardly, and said somewhat unnaturally: "There is not only one trial, you only know it after passing the first trial, there are three trials in total, and you can only unlock it after you pass all of them." The enchantment of the sanctuary."

"However, although the enchantment has not been lifted, haven't I already passed the first trial?"

"In other words, on my side, there are only two trials left. Since the first one has been passed, the second and third can be solved in one go."

"So Emilia, you just need to watch me solve the problem handsomely, and leave everything to me!"

After all, who knows what the next trial will be?This kind of thing can't be easier than the other, it can only be more difficult than the other.

Facing the past for the first time can make him almost fall into self-doubt, which makes Garfield completely change his mind.Subaru really didn't want Emilia to be hurt like this when she had a choice.

However, Emilia herself doesn't think so.

"Subaru...I am not a vase!"

Emilia sighed, and lightly cupped Subaru's palm with both hands and placed it on her chest, as if holding a precious gem tightly.

"I am Emilia, not a silver-haired half-demon, nor a frozen witch, nor a half-elf in the Elliot Forest."

"Just, just your Emilia."

"However, even if I am like this, I am not useless. I can only serve as an ornamental vase decoration. If possible, I also hope to be able to stand by Subaru's side, and I also hope to be able to stand in front of Subaru."

"Just like Subaru is always handsome and helps me protect me, I also hope that Subaru can see my handsome side, and I also hope that Subaru can rely on me more."

"I think Subaru, you've done enough. Occasionally, think about yourself more, think about yourself more, don't put everything on yourself."

"Because you still have me by your side, and your Emilia, right?"

"So, leave it to me this time, Subaru is just like me before, can you look at the handsome side of Emilia that belongs to you?"

Seeing the shimmering bright light in Emilia's eyes, Subaru suddenly realized that he couldn't say any words of rejection.

Because, facing such Emilia, he suddenly realized one thing.

That is……

——Ah, I... I really am 'arrogant'.

Chapter 386 Emilia and the Witch

At the entrance of the ruins, I bid farewell to Subaru, whom I liked, and made a promise with him that if I can pass the trial, I hope to get the reward I have been waiting for, and Emilia entered again with firm steps. into the ruins.

It was no different from before, as Emilia approached the ruins, as if they had sensed the qualifications, they welcomed them with firefly lights.The light illuminates the way forward for Emilia in the night, guiding Emilia into the first room.

Then, Subaru's voice, which was very familiar to Emilia but for some reason, rang in her ear, accompanied by "First, face your past." 'Such words fell into a deep sleep again.

It may be a bit strange to say that it is a deep sleep, because Emilia is not sure whether the world she was 'invited' into, showing her past, is a dream or not.

After all, she had never had a dream where she was conscious, able to think and act independently, so naturally she couldn't accurately define it as a hallucination or a dream.

However, the feeling of being able to step into a forest with a little nostalgia deep in the memory... Indeed, it may be very suitable to call it a dream.

Surrounded by towering trees, feel the cool breeze blowing from the forest, experience the warmth of the land from the soles of your shoes, walk in a forest that you have only seen in memory, not snow and ice Emilia took a deep breath.

This is the Great Forest of Elliot that has not yet been covered by ice and snow. It was once forgotten, and now it only recalls part of the memory. It is a familiar and unfamiliar environment like an illusory bubble, and love Milia is once again ready to face the past.

"It's just that, unlike the chaotic memories of last time, does this time feel more real? Or maybe it's more like coming to the Great Forest of Ariol..."

"Is this also the benefit of restoring memory?"

Emilia was a little confused, but she obviously couldn't understand these doubts.After all, this is not what she is good at, and all she can do is move forward.

However, just when she was about to step forward again, a strange yet familiar voice sounded from the side.

"—Oh, what a surprise."

"Two people conducted two trials in a row on the same day. Such a scene is really something that has never been seen in 400 years."

"Didn't that man tell you that he has actually passed the first trial? After all, to be honest, I would rather see that man in my room than seeing your disgusting face." in front of you."

A strange yet familiar voice, Emilia knew it was the voice of the master here, the "Witch of Lust", Echidna, and it was not the first time she heard the voice's master sarcasm for no reason.

During the last trial, although Emilia was not moved by the memories that had never sounded in the past, she was also unilaterally satirized by the witch with 'cold blood'.

Emilia sighed and looked in the direction of the voice, and there was the white-haired witch who was leaning on the tree and looking at her leisurely.

Wearing a long black dress, even Emilia thought she was the 'Witch of Lust' Echidna with a beauty that could fascinate people.

'He is such a beautiful person, but why are his words always so vicious? '

Maybe it's because she's a witch?Emilia thought wordlessly, and walked in the direction of Echidna.

"It's a shame that you still have the face to come here for the trial again. You obviously saw your mother die in front of you, and then you froze the entire forest with your own hands, causing everyone to be frozen into 'dead people'. A cold-blooded woman who is indifferent and has no fluctuations."

Looking at Emilia approaching, Echidna uttered vicious words in a cold and disgusted tone.This is undoubtedly satirizing Emilia, and the contempt and disgust contained in this irony are also fully revealed.
