Subaru:  "Or maybe the effect only applies to you because you solved the problem…?”

Subaru:  “If so, then this is just getting nastier and nastier…” Subaru had a bad feeling as he shook his head. —What had appeared in his mind, what he had experienced, was that woman’s memories in vivid, terrifyingly rich detail. The smell, the taste, the feeling, and the weight of all the lives shattered. Subaru felt like it was a miracle he had made it back after experiencing someone else’s memories so intensely. It seemed all too possible he could’ve gotten swallowed up in someone else’s life. He had felt that fear and revulsion in the experience just then.

Subaru:  “Subaru, who is this Typhon?”

Subaru:  “It’s a bit hard to explain… No, I guess maybe it wouldn’t be so hard to explain to you? If you don’t know the name, then I guess you didn’t meet her, but she was in the tomb.”

Emilia:  Emilia and Beatrice both froze in shock at that.

Subaru:  “Typhon was one of the Witches who existed in the past. The Witch of Pride. She’s a tyke, sort of like Beako, but with tanned skin. She was like the embodiment of the innocent cruelty of kids.”

Emilia:  Emilia and Beatrice both shook their heads, not having any idea who he was describing.

Subaru:  I guess that Witch’s Tea Party was a special show just for me. Even if it was all for her own purposes, she really pulled out all the stops.

Subaru:  “Innocent cruelty, huh…” When he described that, he reflexively remembered the Typhon he had spent that little bit of time with. Even if it was in a weird spirit realm, it was hard to forget how she had broken his arms and legs. Even though they had immediately been healed, the shock of losing all four limbs wasn’t something that faded away. But it felt like he had touched on a little fragment of her aberrant nature after that “reading session.” Of course, that didn’t mean he could suddenly understand her way of thinking.

Subaru:  “Either way, when I read the book just now, I saw this Typhon girl’s…memories? Life? Roots? Living it vicariously or something like that. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling, though.”
human
Emilia:  “Vicariously experiencing people’s memories? That feels more and more like the trials in the tomb.”
gpt
Subaru:  “That time, it was a head-on showdown with your memories, though. I mean, it was obviously no trouble at all there.”
human
Emilia:  “R-right, no trouble.” Conveniently ignoring the episodes of bawling and mental breakdowns after facing the challenges over and over again, Subaru and Emilia simply nodded.

Beatrice:  “Setting aside for the moment the two of you acting tough, this is a book that allows the reader to vicariously experience others’ memories. In other words, it is a way to retrace the past. That must mean the library allows visitors to learn what they wish to know—” Beatrice was deep in thought about what had happened to Subaru, but before she could finish, there was another shout.
