Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

I didn't mean personality...

"You only just noticed?"

"Correct it, the same goes for personality..."

"snort……"

Natsuki Subaru fell into a coma.

When Natsuki Subaru woke up again, he found himself back in the room that was now somewhat familiar to him.

"It's the same ceiling I've seen before..."

"Hey, he's awake, big sister."

"Yes, he's awake, Rem."

"Ah, I really should take another nap."

Subaru Natsuki said this.

"Big sister, did you hear that? What a pathetic statement."

"Yeah, Rem, that's a really pathetic statement."

Natsuki Subaru finally couldn't take it anymore and sat up in bed, searching the room for the source of the sound.

"Who is this duo who's been speaking to me in binaural audio since just now?"

Natsuki Subaru was stunned the moment he saw that pair.

They were maids holding hands.

The two maids look very alike; one has blue hair, and the other has pink hair.

Natsuki Subaru was shocked: "Maid outfits actually exist in this world?!"

……

Natsuki Subaru's emotions did not fluctuate too much.

Through the celestial canopy and Satella's previous appearance, Subaru Natsuki could feel his memories returning little by little.

Subaru Natsuki glanced at Rem's reaction instinctively.

Rem stared blankly at the images on the sky, as if those things had never happened.

"What...is this? I don't remember this at all. I don't remember ever having a memory of being with this person alongside my older sister?"

Ram bit her lip lightly.

Although the images projected on the screen differed somewhat from Ram's memories...

However, Ram is certain that Subaru definitely lived in the mansion.

Seeing Rem's reaction, Ram couldn't help but feel a little worried for Barus.

"Barus... he must be so sad..."

Ram gently patted Rem's head.

"Rem, I hope you can regain all your memories as soon as possible through the celestial barrier..."

"After all, you would never have easily accepted forgetting that memory that was so important to you."

Ram gave a somewhat awkward smile.

Rem felt a pang of anxiety when she saw her most trusted older sister smiling like that.

"Big sister?"

Rem glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces in the room, all of them looking complicated and hesitant, much like her older sister's expression.

Rem then looked at Subaru Natsuki.

Is this person... really that important to me?

Rem didn't know, but her body's instinct made her subconsciously continue watching the images playing on the screen in front of her.

Rem inexplicably believed that she could find the answer from this light screen.

In the scene depicted on the sky.

Natsuki Subaru chuckled and teased the two maids in front of him. Just then, Emilia knocked on the door and came in.

"Honestly... Subaru, you've just recovered from your injuries, can't you just behave for a bit?"

Emilia gave a helpless smile.

The two sisters, Ram and Rem, began to tattle on Emilia with calm expressions.

"Lady Emilia, listen to me, my sister was severely humiliated by that person." Rem pointed at Subaru Natsuki.

"Please listen to me, Lady Emilia, Rem has been imprisoned by that person." Ram also pointed at Subaru Natsuki.

Emilia chuckled softly, "You two, stop teasing her."

Clearly, Emilia was already used to the maid sisters' casual remarks.

"Yes, Lady Emilia, Rem knows she was wrong," Ram said.

"Yes, Lady Emilia, my sister knows she was wrong," Rem said.

Subaru Natsuki's lips twitched slightly.

These sisters are really...

Emilia walked up to Subaru Natsuki and confirmed that Subaru was in good physical and mental condition.

"Thanks to you, Emilia-tan!"

"Carbon? What does that mean?"

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head and skipped the topic: "Ah, you don't need to worry about that..."

"Let's not talk about that. I'm really grateful to you for saving me."

Emilia shook her head: "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you. You were the one who saved me, a complete stranger."

Natsuki Subaru paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

Have we never met before...?

Although he already knew about his ability to return from death, he was still shocked when he confirmed once again that the person in front of him had truly lost all memories of their time together.

Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

after that.

Subaru Natsuki and Emilia arrived together in the huge courtyard outside the mansion.

Subaru Natsuki took the initiative to lead Emilia in performing a set of radio calisthenics unique to Subaru's world.

Beatrice observed Subaru and Emilia's every move.

Just as the two finished their radio calisthenics and shouted "Victory!", Puck appeared out of thin air and shouted along with Subaru and Emilia.

Parker expressed his gratitude for Subaru Natsuki's actions yesterday, saying that no amount of thanks would be enough.

All Natsuki Subaru wanted in return was the chance to pet Puck's fur anytime, anywhere.

Just as the two were enjoying each other's company, Rem and Ram came to their side.

"Lady Emilia, Lord Roswaal has returned..."

Afterwards, everyone went to the restaurant inside the mansion to meet up.

Rem, Ram, Emilia, Puck, Beatrice, and Subaru Natsuki.

To Subaru's great surprise, Beatrice, this cold-faced and icy little girl, actually showed a smile only to Puck.

Beatrice would laugh and call out "brother," and then start stroking Parker's fur.

At that moment, a tall, flamboyantly dressed man with long hair walked into the restaurant. His face was covered in clown-like makeup.

Natsuki Subaru smiled and patted the long-haired man on the back.

"Rich people really have refined tastes; do they even hire clowns to perform before their meals?"

Emilia offered a hesitant reminder from the side.

"Um, Subaru... who is this...?"

The "Clown," seemingly unconcerned by Subaru's offense, said, "It's alright, it's alright, Lady Emilia."

Natsuki Subaru asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"The Clown" turned his head to look at Subaru Natsuki.

"I am the owner of this mansion, Roswaal."

……

Natsuki Subaru himself didn't even know what he was feeling as he sat down at the same table with Roswaal, whom he had just offended.

How embarrassing.

Natsuki Subaru took a bite of the dish placed in front of him.

"So delicious!" Subaru Natsuki's eyes lit up.

Roswaal said that Rem's cooking skills are among the best.

For the first time, Natsuki Subaru began to admire this somewhat unreliable maid.

"Was this dish made by the blue-haired maid, Rem-chan?"

Rem's reply was flat and polite, yet tinged with a hint of detachment: "Yes, guest."

Rem also stated that she would be responsible for all the meals in the mansion, while her sister Ram was not good at cooking.

Natsuki Subaru immediately understood; this was a different mode of skill that the two sisters excelled in!

Sure enough, Rem said that her older sister Ram was better at cleaning and laundry.

At the dinner table, Roswaal used a strange, exaggerated tone to imply that Subaru Natsuki was really quite oblivious.

Despite having arrived in this kingdom and at the border Count's mansion, they knew nothing about it.

Natsuki Subaru asked, somewhat puzzled, "What happened in this country?"

"Yes, this country, Lugnica, has no king."
