“Uaaaaaaaahhhhhh?!”
■■■■■■ fell backward with a shriek.
His world spun and the thing in his hands dropped. His throat rasped as he struggled to breathe, his lungs twitching in a panic.
“Wh—Subaru?!”
The silver-haired girl rushed over when ■■■■■■ hit the back of his head on something hard. She and the little girl in a fancy dress with her supported ■■■■■■’s shoulders.
“I-I…ah? I? Wh-wh-wh-wh-what…hap…pened?”
“Deep breaths! Take deep breaths! Don’t try to talk! Emilia, don’t touch that book! Their memories are mixing!”
The girl—no, Beatrice—frantically gave instructions as his eyes spun and his mouth foamed.
“Subaru’s behaving weird! Mixing? What did that book do?!”
“Most likely he dove too deeply. The way he’s talking has blended with hers,” Beatrice explained.
Emilia’s eyes widened, and then she leapt to him, pulling his cheeks and making him look her in the eyes.
“Subaru, remember. It’s okay. You are Subaru Natsuki, my knight. ‘Allow me to introduce myself, the peerless, indestructible, penniless…umm…and, and…’”
Emilia reached into the depths of her memories as she started saying some mad speech.
Hearing that nonsensical line, ■■■■■■, ■■■aru, Su■■ru…
“I…it’s me…right, not…I…Elsa is gone…”
“Save it! Calm down. It’s okay…slowly…slowly.”
“It’s like a splinter, the other memories will slowly seep out. Then the original Subaru should come back properly.”
Emilia and Beatrice were talking to Subaru—Subaru, it’s Subaru.
Doing as they said, he carefully removed the splinter of memory that had been jabbed into his brain.
“It’s…it’s okay…”
Hugging Subaru as he shuddered, Emilia gently, warmly soothed him. He entrusted his body to her as he slowly unraveled himself from the other person in his head.
The only other person in the room quietly watched them struggle through this.
“………”
—Shaula’s green eyes narrowed as she just quietly watched.
