Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Chapter 17: Encounter with Beatrice

The images on the light screen kept changing.

Ultimately, the storyline that had abruptly ended was resumed and played for everyone.

I don't know how much time passed.

Emilia finally completed the emergency treatment for Subaru Natsuki.

Although the serious injury was not fully healed, but...

At least, Subaru Natsuki won't die here.

"We've finally made it through the danger period..."

Emilia breathed a sigh of relief.

Reinhard nodded slightly, then looked at Emilia: "Speaking of which, Lady Emilia, what is your relationship with Subaru?"

Emilia was somewhat confused: "This is probably our first time meeting here."

Reinhard gave a soft "hmm".

"But he said he was looking for you and that he had something to give you."

Emilia stroked her chin: "That's why I find it incredible."

Emilia and Reinhard couldn't figure it out.

Subaru Natsuki is such a mysterious person, his mystery is filled with a strange feeling.

Later, Reinhard asked Emilia what she planned to do with Subaru Natsuki.

Reinhardt wanted Emilia's permission to invite Subaru Natsuki to his family as a guest.

Emilia shook her head gently; she had no intention of simply abandoning her savior.

"No need, leave him to me."

Emilia then asked Reinhard how he should deal with Felt and Rom.

After all, these two are more problematic than Natsuki Subaru.

Reinhardt initially intended to turn a blind eye.

Who could have predicted this?

Just as Felt was about to return the badge to Emilia,

The gem in the center of the badge emitted a faint glow in Felt's hand.

Reinhard's pupils contracted slightly as he grabbed Felt's hand with a force that caused Felt some pain.

"Let go! It hurts!!"

Reinhard stared at Felt in disbelief, and quickly asked her for her name, age, birthday, and other information.

They eventually changed their minds.

"I'm sorry, Lady Emilia, I'm not a person who goes back on his word, but the circumstances are special, and I will be in charge of this child."

Emilia was quite surprised, but she couldn't say much.

Reinhard only told Emilia.

The reason for taking Felt away was not because of her crime of stealing the badge, but because of other, more important matters.

"Lady Emilia, you will be summoned soon. Please take care."

"I'm leaving Subaru in your care."

After leaving those words, Reinhard took the unconscious Felt and left.

……

Priscilla raised an eyebrow and concealed the corners of her upturned mouth with her ornate fan.

"Oh, so that's how it is? Interesting!"

Subaru Natsuki.

This was someone Priscilla treated like an ant from the very first meeting.

It's surprising that someone has had such an experience.

Priscilla initially had some doubts, wondering if Skyfall's choice of such a person as the protagonist was inappropriate.

But now it seems...

Priscilla chuckled softly, "Interesting!"

……

Crusch, along with Felix and Wilhelm beside her, stared at the sky in astonishment, while a few memories of Rem surfaced in their minds.

"Just how terrifying is the sky...?"

Realizing that the Sky Curtain could not only play videos about Subaru Natsuki's experiences, but also give out such terrifying rewards.

Crusch couldn't help but think, "Then... is it possible for me to regain my memories using the Heavenly Canopy...?"

Felix's mood improved considerably: "Lady Crusch! Maybe you really can regain your memories using the Sky Veil, meow!!"

Wilhelm was shocked by many things.

"Lord Subaru... you've certainly experienced far more than I imagined..."

"Sky screen...rewards...playback experience..."

"Am I already out of touch with the world...?"

……

Roswaal muttered to himself in an exaggerated tone.

"I see... Subaru-kun..."

"So the trigger was... death... If that's the case, then it's truly painful..."

"Having died so many times in such agony... I wonder... would you... heh..."

……

After Petra saw these memories, a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Subaru-sama..."

Petra felt very sorry for Subaru Natsuki.

Petra knew that Subaru Natsuki had faced many dangers along the way.

At this point, Subaru Natsuki hadn't even arrived at Roswaal's mansion yet, but he had already died so many times and suffered so much...

Petra couldn't imagine what kind of hell Natsuki Subaru had gone through along the way.

……

Otto and Garfield even had an urge to rush to the Tower of the Sages right now.

"No, Watergate City still needs us..."

Otto tried to calm himself down.

At the same time, he was also trying to persuade Garfield.

"Garfield, don't worry, let's keep watching and trust Subaru."

Garfield finally calmed down. To be honest, the images that Sky Screen had been playing all along had been infuriating him.

If Garfield could be by Subaru's side...

"I'm sorry, General...!"

"Elsa...!"

Garfield was also surprised that Elsa had wanted to kill Subaru Natsuki from the very beginning.

……

The story of Subaru Natsuki began to play again on the screen.

"An unfamiliar ceiling..."

Natsuki Subaru opened his eyes and found himself lying in bed, looking at an unfamiliar ceiling he had never seen before.

Natsuki Subaru realized that he was in a very luxurious bedroom.

This is a place I've never been before.

Natsuki Subaru subconsciously glanced at his abdomen.

"The wound on my stomach..."

"It's gone!"

"Judging from the circumstances at the time, it really was Emilia who did it!"

Natsuki Subaru got out of bed, walked out of the empty, luxurious room, and came to the corridor outside.

This place is ridiculously luxurious.

The corridor stretched almost to the end, much like a castle or palace!

"Anyway, I guess we escaped death this time..."

This was still the matter that Natsuki Subaru cared about the most.

Natsuki Subaru walked aimlessly down the corridor, only to find himself stuck in the same loop.

Subaru Natsuki remained calm.

"At this point, only by opening the correct door can we escape the loop, right?"

Natsuki Subaru pushed open a door.

Behind the door.

It was a place that resembled a library, where a little girl with curly blonde hair was sitting quietly on a stool reading a book.

Tea sets were placed next to it.

"What's going on? This guy is absolutely infuriating!"

The blonde loli's words were extremely cold.

Natsuki Subaru, in his chuunibyou phase, had already mistaken the blonde loli in front of him for an NPC in the game who was responsible for guiding him.

Natsuki Subaru grinned at the cold-faced blonde loli in front of him.

This has made the blonde loli increasingly popular.

After talking for a long time, which the blonde loli couldn't understand and made her angry, Natsuki Subaru finally started asking about the important matter.

"So, where is this place?"

The blonde girl snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's like Betty's library, bedroom, and private room all at once."

"A textbook answer."

"Is it now fashionable to have blonde lolis as the initial tutorial in games?"

The blonde loli's patience had reached its limit. She closed her book, stood up, and slowly walked to Natsuki Subaru.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Natsuki Subaru realized something was wrong and knew he probably couldn't escape.

"Don't hurt me..."

The blonde loli gently placed her hand on Subaru Natsuki's clothes around his abdomen.

The next second, Natsuki Subaru screamed in pain!

"Ugh!"

Natsuki Subaru collapsed onto the library floor.
