Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

"Subaru-sama!!"

"Blood!!"

Petra looked at the wound on Subaru Natsuki's back with a worried expression.

Petra knew she had to treat the wound quickly and remove the iron needle as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the situation will only become more and more critical.

"You have to bear the pain! Three, two..."

Petra simply pulled the needle out.

Natsuki Subaru cried out in pain and instinctively covered the wound on his shoulder.

Natsuki Subaru was panting heavily from the pain, and Petra quickly took out a clean handkerchief from beside her and bandaged Natsuki Subaru's wound.

"Thank you, but..." Natsuki Subaru said weakly.

"That way you won't exert too much force," Petra explained.

Natsuki Subaru noticed the blood on Petra's hand and immediately pulled her hand over to examine it carefully.

Petra's palm was already covered in blood.

Petra, I'm sorry, I always put you in danger.

"Don't say that, I'm very grateful to you."

"You always save me when I'm in danger, so this time it's my turn! I'll take Rem, Beatrice, Ram, and Frederica with me and run away!"

Petra said earnestly.

"You're amazing, I'm so embarrassed," Natsuki Subaru said with a smile as he looked at Petra.

Petra was about to offer some words of comfort when Subaru waved his hand.

"No, I'm not saying anything discouraging anymore. You're amazing, and I can't lose either."

Subaru Natsuki has become accustomed to the pain in his body.

He stood up from the ground.

"Let's go, you're right, we all have to run away together."

Subaru Natsuki extended his hand towards Petra.

The two of them hadn't even left the room they'd just been in.

A loud crash came, it sounded like the ceiling had collapsed... or maybe it was some other sound... In any case, something was very wrong.

Natsuki Subaru felt everything go black before his eyes, and he fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, the faint cries of Ram could be heard.

"Barus! Barus!"

Ram's voice sounded very anxious.

He could barely make out Ram's legs, which were standing in front of him.

What happened? Did I fall over?

"I miscalculated. It would have been better if we had gone there sooner."

Ram's voice.

"I'm going to do what I have to do."

Ram's voice.

"Yes, that's good."

Ram's voice.

Suddenly everything went dark. Natsuki Subaru was awakened by intense pain and the impact of hitting the wall!

He first smashed the glass, then crashed into the wall.

When Natsuki Subaru suddenly opened his eyes, his vision was already blurred by deep red blood.

Natsuki Subaru coughed a few times, coughing up a lot of fresh blood.

At this point, Subaru Natsuki's body was covered in wounds and looked terrible.

Natsuki Subaru, who was lying on the ground, did not get up immediately. Firstly, the pain prevented him from standing up right away, and secondly, he had no idea what had happened.

His last memory was of holding Petra's hand, planning to go upstairs to find Rem.

Oh right, it seems something happened before I even left the room...

Ram, right, where's Ram? Where's Frederica? Where's Petra?

What exactly happened? Where am I?

Natsuki Subaru stared blankly at all of this.

The blood made Subaru's vision turn crimson, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

"Are you alright, Petra..." Natsuki Subaru asked instinctively...

But then they discovered...

He was indeed still holding Petra's hand tightly.

That small, delicate hand, bound with a white handkerchief, the kind only a child would have, was being held tightly by Subaru Natsuki—it was definitely Petra's hand.

But the owner of that hand remained silent.

My hands also became cold.

Petra was buried under countless rubble.

Petra is dead.

"Aa ...

Natsuki Subaru let out a desperate scream.

After an unknown amount of time, Natsuki Subaru struggled to his feet and continued walking forward.

Natsuki Subaru was still holding that handkerchief, which was stained with blood and covered in bloodstains.

The once white handkerchief is now completely soaked in blood.

Natsuki Subaru had no idea what he was supposed to do.

Petra is dead.

Patrashuu also died.

What about Ram?

What about Frandelica?

Why did it turn out like this?

Subaru Natsuki's mind was already in complete turmoil.

"Ah, I've finally found you."

A familiar yet chilling voice came through.

Subaru Natsuki's pupils contracted slightly as he turned to look back.

Elsa was standing behind him.

Natsuki Subaru's heart sank instantly.

Elsa remained as elegant and composed as ever, with no wounds, no bloodstains, and not even signs of a struggle on her body...

It was as if nothing had happened.

"Where's Frandelica?" Natsuki Subaru asked, though he already knew the answer.

"That head maid? Don't worry."

"I had a pretty good time."

Elsa smiled slightly.

"Who asked you to murder us?"

Subaru Natsuki asked in a hoarse voice.

"I won't talk about the client."

"I understand basic manners," Elsa said.

"You came back a little early, so the outcome was a little different from what was requested."

"A little different?" Natsuki Subaru's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he gritted his teeth and repeated the question.

"Two maids and one homebody, originally planned to coordinate with your return time."

Natsuki Subaru's eyes were filled with nothing but despair and anger.

That's enough.

"Yes, I don't want to keep letting Mely take the lead," Elsa said with a smile.

Let's end it now.

"I'll send you to see the angels."

The knife in Elsa's hand flashed with a cold light.

She quickened her pace as she approached Subaru Natsuki.

Even if the world ends, you can't hurt Rem.

Natsuki Subaru cried out in his heart.

At that moment, Subaru Natsuki was standing outside Rem's room, within easy reach of opening the door.

As Elsa charged toward him, Subaru Natsuki pushed open the door as fast as he could.

After rushing in.

Subaru Natsuki opened his eyes.

Why...?

"Why did you save me, Beatrice?!"

Looking at Beatrice sitting at the entrance of the Forbidden Library.

Natsuki Subaru felt no relief at surviving, only endless pain!

Subaru Natsuki's blood continued to spill onto the ground.

He pounded on the door frantically, but found that he couldn't open it no matter what he did.

"Let me out! Open the door! Open the door!!"

The fact that she entered the Opportunity Gate at this moment and arrived at Beatrice's place means that Elsa only needs to push open that door to see Rem and be able to kill Rem easily!

Absolutely not! Absolutely not!!

Natsuki Subaru was acting like a madman, even though he was already covered in wounds and on the verge of collapse...

"It's too late."

Beatrice said calmly.

"How could it be too late? I have to get to Rem now!"

"The reason you went back to that room just disappeared."

Upon hearing Beatrice's words, Subaru Natsuki deflated like a punctured balloon, and even the last bit of strength that had sustained him in facing Elsa vanished.

Natsuki Subaru leaned weakly against the door, his legs buckling, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

His eyes were filled with despair.
