Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

I was surprised.

……

Frandelica made Subaru a cup of tea.

Natsuki Subaru stared at the tea in front of him, lost in thought.

His mind was filled with speculation about Frederica.

"Isn't Lady Emilia with you?"

"Does this mean the trial isn't over yet?"

Frandelica stood to the side, quietly watching Natsuki Subaru sitting on the sofa.

"Yes, I have a lot of questions for you."

Natsuki Subaru did not drink that cup of tea.

"First of all, this is it."

Subaru Natsuki took out the pendant he had received from Garfield.

Frederica's expression changed after just one glance.

His pupils trembled slightly.

She seemed quite surprised to see what Natsuki Subaru was holding.

"This is?"

Frandelica gently picked up the pendant.

"Garfield's Stone."

"Yes, so you do know him... or rather, are you related to him by blood?"

"Garfield didn't tell you, did he?" Frederica asked.

Frandelica thought Garfield wouldn't say such a thing.

Subaru Natsuki was truly at a loss.

These two are even somewhat similar in personality.

There are some strange similarities.

"I can tell just by looking at you. I guess you're the older sister," Natsuki Subaru said.

"You guessed right, I am Garfield, Garfield's older sister." Frederica wiped her eyes.

Natsuki Subaru's expression was not surprised, and he turned to ask the question that concerned him more.

"Answer me, why did you use the radiance stone to set up a teleportation trap?"

Frandelica was stunned.

"Is this something you swore you wouldn't say? But this is not something you can control."

Seeing that Frederica didn't answer, Subaru Natsuki simply stood up, looked directly at her, and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Lord Subaru, what do you mean by teleportation?"

The bewilderment and confusion in Frederica's eyes did not seem fake.

Subaru Natsuki's pupils suddenly contracted, and cold sweat appeared on his face.

Things seemed to be more complicated than he and Ram had imagined.

Could it be that it wasn't Frederica?

But it was indeed Frederica who handed over the pyroxene to them.

No, that means there's someone else behind it all.

What exactly happened? What exactly happened?

Subaru Natsuki stared intently at Frederica, but Frederica blushed slightly and turned her head away.

Don't look at me like that.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait, you can't fool me."

Subaru Natsuki shook his head.

It pointed to Frandelica.

"Aren't you helping the conservative forces who don't want to liberate the Sanctuary?"

Subaru Natsuki questioned loudly.

"Conservative forces? What are those?"

"Could you explain this to me in its entirety?"

Subaru Natsuki was completely dumbfounded.

What exactly happened? Did Frederica really not know anything about it?

"Are you really not acting?"

Natsuki Subaru felt a strange unease welling up inside him.

If Frederica isn't the mastermind, then who is? Who should we be wary of? Who is the enemy? Who is the friend?

"Abandon Ram and go head-to-head with Frederica."

"It seems Barus is courting death."

Just then, Ram walked slowly into the room from outside. Under the somewhat surprised gazes of the two, he went straight to the sofa and sat down.

"What am I doing...?"

Before Natsuki Subaru could explain anything, Ram had already picked up the cup of tea that Frederica had just brewed and took a small sip.

"Your tea-making skills haven't improved while I'm away."

Ram's actions have said it all.

Frandelica laughed: "So, all you can do is brew tea, huh?"

"What an unlovable girl."

"Ram is already cute enough. If she gets any cuter, it will be a global crisis." Ram took another sip of tea.

"You really have a sharp tongue, though that's just your personality."

Frandelica smiled helplessly.

"Then, if you didn't know about teleportation, why did you give the Shining Stone to Balus?"

Without any hesitation, Ram asked the key question directly.

"This..." Frederica hesitated when this was mentioned.

"Did you swear an oath not to say it?" Ram asked.

"Then you're being far too obvious in your deception, Frederica."

Frandelica nodded slightly: "That's right, I can't reveal this."

"Should we continue to muddle through? But this won't do."

Ram stood up instantly, looking at Frederica with hostility.

"Hey, don't be so rash," Natsuki Subaru advised. No matter what, they couldn't just turn on each other like that and act so quickly, could they?

"If you refuse to answer questions, it means you have already betrayed us."

"We will take you to the Sanctuary."

"That will expose the true identity of the mastermind behind you."

Ram revealed her plan.

"But..." Natsuki Subaru still felt that this wouldn't work.

He felt something was off.

"If you want to take me to the Holy Land, I won't resist."

"Look at Francesca too..." Natsuki Subaru was stunned before he could finish his sentence.

I said I wouldn't resist.

"Why won't you resist?" Natsuki Subaru asked.

"He's so slow-witted. Frederica can't break her oath herself, so she needs an excuse, like being forced by Barus."

The hostility on Ram's face disappeared, and she sat down on the sofa again.

He even picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea.

"You guys worked together really well..." Natsuki Subaru said belatedly.

"Of course, after all, we've known each other for almost 10 years," Frederica said with a smile.

"That would be great if that were the case." Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really want to get out of here as soon as possible."

Thankfully, thankfully, before everything happened, there was still time...

Now, Beatrice only needs to take Frederica, Petra, Rem, and Ram and hurry back to the Sanctuary...

It would be best to also bring along the villagers who are currently living in Alam village.

Return to the Sanctuary as quickly as possible.

This way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong, and no one will be injured, die, or suffer.

"Oh dear, don't say such cold things."

A woman's voice, which chilled Natsuki Subaru to the bone and was something that shouldn't have been there, came from inside.

In just a moment, Subaru Natsuki's expression froze.

Petra was filled with fear at that moment.

Elsa held a knife to Petra's neck and led her in through the door.

Elsa licked her lips with interest.

"Let's fulfill our promise," Elsa said, looking at Subaru Natsuki.

"Sister... Subaru..."

Petra's voice was trembling with fear.

The relaxed state between Frederica and Ram was also broken in an instant.

The two men immediately stood up from the sofa, glaring at the uninvited guest with hostility.

"Run!!!" Petra was clearly terrified.

She was clearly on the verge of tears.

His voice trembled violently.

But he took a deep breath and shouted, "Run!"
