“Upsy-daisy.”
Emilia lifted Subaru up after he passed out.
Sleeping like the dead, it was clear to her just how much he had worked himself to the bone to deal with all the problems happening in the tower.
Just how desperate he had been to save all of them.
Even though it must have been so difficult for him after losing his memories, Emilia had been so happy when she saw him run to her when Batenkaitos had stolen her name and she was forgotten by everyone.
She wanted to tell him properly.
So that Subaru, who worked so hard, wouldn’t blame himself too much.
What happened to Shaula was all their faults, and also…
“—Her master Flugel is a terrible person.”
The man who had foisted the title of “Sage” on Shaula and left her in the Pleiades Watchtower with her new role. Even if he was one of the three great heroes who saved the world, he was on Emilia’s list of villains after making Shaula so lonely and making Subaru cry.
“From the look of it, his exhaustion is terrible, but…it is not dangerous. He will recover, so long as he rests. Shall we take him to the green room?”
“Yes, Ram and them are there, too… You looked after Rem when Ram came to help me, didn’t you Anastasia?”
“It’s nothing too special. After getting myself back, I just saw Julius off going to help Subaru and Ram and Patrasche going to help you, is all… Unfortunately, there wasn’t any change in Rem.”
“I see…” Emilia’s brow furrowed.
Defeating Lye Batenkaitos was in a sense getting revenge for Rem. But what mattered most was her waking up. Compared to that, revenge was just a trivial bonus.
At the very least, that was what Ram would say without hesitation. Rem’s revival was the most important thing.
“Let’s hope we can get the answer to that out of Roy Alphard. Also, there are too many gaps to fill about this tower…no, the Great Pleiades Library.”
“A grand library where you can learn anything…that was what Shaula said. She was a bit haphazard, but all the more reason she was unlikely to spin a tale, I suppose. And it is certainly true that this is a grand library.”
They would have to find out whether that only meant the books of the dead or if there was something more to it.
Because of that, there was something that Emilia had to tell them.
“Ummm, after we move Subaru to the green room to rest, there’s a place I would like you all to see…and someone I want to you to meet.”
“…Is that related to the first floor?”
Emilia had cleared the final examination after going up to the first floor.
Beatrice and the others knew that much already. The issue was she had not explained anything else beyond that.
What was there, who she had met, what she had done.
It was such a strange and transcendent sort of thing that it was hard to know how to begin explaining, so…
“It isn’t that long of a story, but it is a bit complicated, so do you mind just coming to see for yourself?”
Emilia pointed high above her head, toward the very top of the tower.
