Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

……

[Felix: Why am I starting to have a bad feeling, meow...]

Priscilla: The Sanctuary... is filled with an aura of intrigue and scheming... Subaru Natsuki hopes he won't disappoint...

[Reinhard: Subaru will be alright, won't he?]

Wilhelm: I hope so...

[Echidna: Hmph...who knows?]

[Desire Natsuki Subaru: Echidna! ! ! 】

[Echidna: I've been wondering for a long time: why does Subaru Natsuki in this timeline have such a big problem with me?]

[Echidna: @Subaru Natsuki, tell me, what exactly happened? In your world, am I some kind of heinous villain?]

Echidna's thirst for knowledge is showing again.

[Subaru Natsuki, the Desire Man: Shut up!]

……

Kenichi Natsuki: Subaru really has it tough, helping so many people in another world.

[Natsuki Nahoko: Subaru really likes that girl named Emilia, and he also cares a lot about that girl named Rem.]

[Natsuki Naoko: But is this really okay?]

[Kenichi Natsuki: Sigh, it's just a pity. Subaru had foreseen everything, dealt with that monster called the White Whale, and also dealt with that madman, so why were Rem and Crusch still attacked?]

[Natsuki Nahoko: Subaru really has it tough... watching a girl who likes him get attacked, and being powerless to do anything about it...]

[Kenichi Natsuki: Don't worry, Subaru will definitely do everything he can to save Rem.]

Kenichi Natsuki and Nahoko Natsuki, who hadn't appeared in the chat room for a long time, suddenly reappeared.

From their perspective, it seems they have just witnessed the end of the war against sloth.

Judging from the few words and phrases available, the scenes that Natsuki and his wife have seen so far have still been edited out by the Sky Screen.

Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.

The world has already treated me terribly.

They've already treated their parents terribly.

Watching their children disappear without a trace, neither alive nor dead, they can only spend their lives searching aimlessly.

Finally, with the appearance of the sky curtain, everything changed.

It would be too cruel to let my parents know about the pain I've been through.

It's not only too cruel to yourself, but also too cruel to your parents.

Subaru Natsuki took a deep breath.

Emilia patted Subaru Natsuki's hand reassuringly.

"It's alright, Subaru."

"It seems the sky is much gentler than we imagined."

Emilia smiled gently.

Emilia seemed indifferent to her immense suffering within the sky.

"Yes, Subaru, rather than saying that the heavens have been kind to you, it's more accurate to say that the world has wronged you too much."

"Everyone in the world should treat you like this."

Rem gently stroked Subaru's face.

"Subaru deserves to be treated gently by the whole world."

Rem said softly.

"That's the only thing Betty can't deny."

Beatrice nodded in agreement.

Subaru has never done anything wrong.

"It's all the fault of this world."

"Subaru doesn't need to worry about anything anymore... because we're here for you..."

Beatrice sat on Subaru Natsuki's lap, looked up at Subaru's face, and smiled slightly.

A glint of emotion flashed in Natsuki Subaru's eyes.

thank you all.

Subaru Natsuki thought to himself.

……

The sky curtain.

……

Left with no other choice, the group had to take Emilia, who had failed the trial, back with them.

"Really? That's a shame."

"But being able to confirm that the trial challenge right won't disappear is also a gain."

Roswaal continued speaking in his strange tone.

In Roswaal's room, Subaru Natsuki sat on a chair by the bed, while Ram stood on the other side of the bed.

"Then why don't you call yourself Emilia? What do you want to talk to me about alone?"

Subaru asked in an annoyed tone.

"I just have a trick up my sleeve."

"But I'm not lenient enough to allow untrustworthy people to listen in."

Roswaal shrugged.

Subaru Natsuki was dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

"Are you saying Emilia isn't trustworthy?"

"What are you suddenly saying?" Natsuki Subaru asked, his brow furrowed in agitation.

"Calm down, Subaru~~"

"I hope you will continue to help and support Lady Emilia."

Roswaal said.

"You don't need to tell me, I'll do it anyway, but what are you going to do?" Natsuki Subaru asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's the same, we will fully support Lady Emilia in becoming queen."

"So that means we're accomplices."

Natsuki Subaru thought Roswaal's words were utterly nonsensical.

"Isn't that called an assistant? Your words are full of contradictions."

Subaru Natsuki's gaze towards Roswaal was not friendly.

"Oh? What does that mean?"

Roswaal asked a question he already knew the answer to.

Subaru Natsuki gritted his teeth and raised his voice slightly.

"Stop playing dumb!"

"Everyone knows that if Emilia publicly runs for office, the Witch Cult will create a huge uproar!"

"But what have you been doing all this time?!"

Subaru Natsuki had long harbored resentment towards Roswaal.

Natsuki Subaru suddenly stood up and slammed his hands against the bed.

"You deliberately didn't tell Emilia about the Witch Cult, did you?!"

Roswaal still had a smile on his face, looking at the shouting Subaru Natsuki with a meaningful gaze.

"Emilia knows nothing! If she knew, everything would be different!! If everything were different, then...!!" Natsuki Subaru became more and more agitated as he spoke.

Natsuki Subaru thought of the previous tragedy.

The villagers were massacred, their bodies piled up like mountains, and the village was covered in blood.

Rem and Ram died tragically, and Petra, despite Ram's protection, still had her eyes gouged out!

Previous deaths.

It brought endless suffering.

It's not just the pain of death, but also the extreme, suffocating, and maddening mental torture!

Watching familiar faces die tragically before his eyes, he was powerless to do anything about it.

That feeling... was terrifying!

That's terrifying! That's terrifying! That's terrifying!

If Roswaal could… If Roswaal could…!

Everything will be different now!!!

Subaru Natsuki harbors immense resentment towards Roswaal.

Many of the tragedies that have occurred so far are related to Roswaal's deliberate cover-up and inaction.

Of course, at this point, Subaru Natsuki only thought of Roswaal as a jerk who deliberately didn't tell Emilia and deliberately did nothing...

At that time, Subaru Natsuki would never have imagined that Roswaal, Emilia's backer... was actually the culprit behind a series of tragedies orchestrated by Subaru Natsuki!

"I wish you were here!"

Natsuki Subaru glared angrily at Roswaal, forcing out those words from his throat.

If Roswaal were here, none of us would have had to suffer so much dying in front of us so many times.

Everyone else is too, including myself!

"If you were here, that wouldn't have happened!"

What on earth is Roswaal doing?!

Natsuki Subaru closed his eyes in pain.
