Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Although Subaru Natsuki now understood why.

but.

Natsuki Subaru was not in a good mood.

It's like playing a game on normal difficulty, only to find out that someone has switched it to hell difficulty.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

If that's really the case, if that's really the case.

That……???

Subaru Natsuki's mind was already in complete turmoil.

"What a joke!" Garfield's attitude was extremely hostile.

Subaru Natsuki's pupils trembled.

"Can you smell the lingering scent of my witch?"

"Hmph, what an interesting way to call it, 'The Witch's Lingering Fragrance,' that's a very fitting phrase!"

Garfield kicked Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru was kicked and rolled on the ground several times before being grabbed by Garfield.

"What are you trying to do by going into the grave?"

"That's a witch's graveyard, nothing good will come of it!" Garfield roared.

"Then why did you lock me up? Why didn't you kill me!" Natsuki Subaru's voice became somewhat hoarse.

Natsuki Subaru really couldn't understand: if they doubted him and were hostile towards him, why didn't they just kill him?

If I kill myself, I can start over with this information!

There's no time to waste here. If things continue like this, Frederica and the others will be in danger!

Natsuki Subaru didn't want to see that kind of future. Rather than let Frederica and the others die, he would rather use Rebirth to go back to before everything happened!

"Because you're really good at winning over the people around you!"

Garfield replied with extreme displeasure.

"I don't want to kill you. Instead, I just want you to suffer, just like when Tesla Fortress fell."

Garfield was using some incomprehensible metaphors again.

However, those metaphors are not important.

Natsuki Subaru realized one thing: it was probably impossible for Garfield to kill him.

"So what are your plans?!" Subaru Natsuki asked.

"Now it depends on Lady Emilia's condition!"

Garfield grabbed Natsuki Subaru hard and slammed him to the ground.

Unable to resist, Natsuki Subaru even considered biting his tongue to commit suicide.

"You're dreaming! Don't even think about courting death!"

"I have no idea what you're plotting! What I hate most is your attitude!"

"Your eyes are exactly like Roswaal's!"

Natsuki Subaru was tied up again by the furious Garfield, unable to speak, move, or even end his own life.

"Don't try anything funny with me!"

Now, I can't run away even if I want to, and I can't die even if I want to.

……

Meanwhile, Emilia, who had been searching for Subaru for a long time, led the villagers, carrying lanterns, to search for Subaru's whereabouts throughout the night.

"Subaru-sama!"

"Subaru-sama!!"

"Pleiades!!"

Emilia shouted.

I was extremely anxious.

Ram, meanwhile, used his clairvoyance to search for Subaru's whereabouts.

Ram exhaled and reopened his eyes.

"Ram, how is it? Did you find it?" Emilia asked.

"Unfortunately, no." Ram shook his head.

"If you venture into the Lost Forest alone at night, it won't be easy to get out again."

Garfield put his hands on his hips, looking annoyed.

"Alone?" Otto repeated Garfield's words.

How is that possible?

How could Mr. Natsuki have gone alone?

Otto was the last person to see Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru clearly left with Garfield in the end!

But now, Garfield says that Mr. Natsuki entered the Forest of Lost Souls all by himself.

No, that's not right.

Otto was about to say something when he was stopped by Garfield's gaze.

His eyes seemed to say: If you dare say another word, I'll kill you.

Otto was instantly terrified, looked away, and swallowed his words.

"It's nothing...it's nothing..."

"Parker, why aren't you showing up?"

Emilia was so anxious she was almost in tears.

Emilia was more vulnerable than ever before at this moment.

Emilia participates in the trials, confronting her incredibly painful past.

When she needed companionship the most, Parker, who had been by her side all along, failed to appear and could not be contacted, which made people worry.

Subaru Natsuki, who had been comforting her all along, has also disappeared.

Emilia didn't know what to do.

I'm so anxious I'm about to break down.

Garfield clearly knew that Otto was the only one who knew Subaru Natsuki's whereabouts, and if he didn't do something about it, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

"Hey buddy, come here."

Garfield smiled and put his arm around Otto's shoulder, speaking in an unyielding tone.

……

After Otto was taken away by Garfield, he was shoved hard against a tree trunk.

"Don't blab... then I'll..."

Garfield pulled out a purple stone.

Otto stared at the purple stone in Garfield's hand, his pupils suddenly contracting, and he swallowed hard.

……

On the other side, Natsuki Subaru, who had no idea where he was, was completely unable to move.

"They're tied way too tight!"

Natsuki Subaru shouted with all his might, but could only manage a weak sound.

Oh no, there really seems to be no one around.

"How can I be confined to a place like this?"

"Use your brain! What I know now is that if someone returns to the mansion, the attack will begin!"

"The longest it can go right now is 5 days!"

Beatrice…

Natsuki Subaru was thinking hard when he unconsciously thought of Beatrice holding the Gospel.

"Are you truly acting entirely in accordance with the Gospels?"

Were the things that helped me before, and that I played around with before, all because they were instructions from the Gospels?

Natsuki Subaru felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Even if that's true, I still want to hear your voice now.

While struggling, Natsuki Subaru suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened.

Someone came in, fed him something, and then tied his mouth shut with a rope.

Natsuki Subaru struggled incessantly, his mind filled with the image of Ram, Frederica, and Elsa fighting last time.

They could have run away, but they stayed behind to buy themselves time to rescue Rem and Beatrice.

No, no, no, time is running out, time is running out, time is running out!!!

In this situation, Subaru Natsuki had no idea what time it was and became increasingly anxious.

We must go back immediately! We must go back immediately! We must go back immediately!

Natsuki Subaru recalled the first time he met Emilia, when he and Emilia were killed by Elsa in Rom's shop.

At that time, he swore that he would protect Emilia.

The joys and sorrows I had experienced with my partners flashed through my mind.

The scenes of each previous death and return, the despair and resentment of each death and return flashed through my mind!

How can we waste time here now!

Natsuki Subaru used all his strength to frantically slam his head against the ground.

He was determined to die.

Finally, Natsuki Subaru exhausted all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

It's too difficult. In this state, you can't even die if you want to.

"I didn't expect you to be in such a bad situation than I imagined."

A familiar yet unexpected voice suddenly rang out.

Natsuki Subaru couldn't be mistaken; that voice belonged to Otto!

Otto?
