Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Chapter 23: New Features and New Rules

The meeting eventually ended.

The conclusion is that we cannot act rashly.

We cannot act rashly.

Although everyone is anxious, if we launch a rash attack without knowing the enemy's intelligence, we could very well end up losing our lives unexpectedly.

In the current situation, we cannot afford to lose any more people.

We can't afford to lose anyone else.

Julius thought so.

Although Echidna, who was in Anastasia's body, was also anxious, she knew that the best option at the moment was to defend rather than take the initiative.

"I'm sorry, Anna, I've been draining your life force... I'll stop as soon as possible..."

Ram grasped Rem's hand.

Ram's heart was still filled with anger and hatred.

Seeing that her younger sister had woken up safely, Ram's anger subsided slightly.

Binge eating.

Almost everyone inside the Tower of Sages wished they could tear them to pieces.

……

End of the meeting.

Everyone gathered near Subaru's room, with Julius and Shaula keeping watch for the first half of the night.

Beatrice, Emilia, and Ram were responsible for keeping watch during the latter half of the night.

Anastasia's body is currently occupied by Echidna, which is constantly draining the original Anastasia's life force, making her unsuitable for night watch.

Rem has just woken up and is also not fit to keep watch.

Not to mention Merry, who was already seriously injured and unconscious, and Subaru Natsuki, who had lost his memory.

These two are individuals who need to be protected.

Although Ram had some doubts about whether Meli was truly worth protecting, and whether she was even an ally...

One night passed.

The night was relatively peaceful.

The group first gathered at the restaurant.

After quickly finishing breakfast, it was already 8 a.m.

The canopy appeared once again.

Those outside, seeing this strange thing appear in the sky again, were no longer as terrified as they had been the day before.

Inside the Tower of Sages, everyone sat around a dining table, each looking at the light screen in front of them.

[Everyone, I'm back!]

[Because the emotional value provided by everyone yesterday was so delicious! The sky screen has been upgraded today!]

Congratulations on obtaining the chat room feature!

[Those selected can share their opinions while watching Subaru Natsuki's experiences; of course, your opinions will be seen by others!]

[Because the upgrade of this chat room is incomplete, only a few key figures can currently enter! Those who are qualified to enter the chat room now will receive an invitation!]

[And the private chat function is now successfully unlocked! Simply click on the person you want to chat with to create a private chat room!]

After some time, everyone confirmed that those qualified to enter the chat room were indeed people of high status and influence...

Or rather...

He is someone connected to Subaru Natsuki.

[Otto: Hello? Wow... it actually posted?!]

[Otto: Let me see who's in the chat room... Oh, I see, it's almost all people I know.]

[Otto: Everyone in the Tower of Sages, how is Subaru doing now?]

[Garfield: Yes! General! How are you doing?!]

[Roswaal: Hmph, this is getting more and more interesting...]

Crusch: How amazing... Subaru Natsuki, could you perhaps tell us in advance what will be shown on the Sky Screen next?

[Reinhard: Subaru, how have you been?]

For a moment, the people inside the Sage's Tower were unsure how to explain to the others that Natsuki Subaru had lost his memory.

Emilia took a deep breath: "We can't hide it from them. Otto and Garfield must be very worried about Subaru. They have the right to know the truth!"

[Emilia: I'm sorry everyone, Subaru probably can't tell you what the next scene on the screen will be like right now.]

Emilia: Subaru... he's lost his memory...

? ! ! !

Otto, far away at the Watergate, felt his heart skip a beat.

How is that possible?

Before everyone could chat for long, a conspicuous avatar and name appeared in the chat room.

[Baptist of Gluttony, Gourmet Rae: Ah, what a delicious taste... I can't wait any longer...]

Binge eating?!

[By the way, everyone, the overall picture is always the most important. I don't want you fighting or brawling while I'm showing you these important scenes. You can chat, but you must show me all of Subaru Natsuki's experiences.]

[Anyone who attacks or injures another during the broadcast will face immediate and swift action from Tianmu.]

???

Today, the news brought to everyone by the Sky Curtain was still packed with information, giving them no time to digest or react.

"Chat rooms, private chat rooms...the emergence of gluttony...and another rule has been added..."

"Is this... actually beneficial to us?"

Emilia was somewhat worried.

Julius breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Lady Emilia, so far, these rules and information are all in our favor."

"You and Lady Beatrice are the most knowledgeable about Subaru's situation right now. There are too many people in the chat room, so please have Mr. Otto create a private chat room."

"Share our current situation and all the intelligence we have with Mr. Otto."

"Perhaps the situation will improve..."

Julius knew he wasn't some kind of strategist.

On the contrary, Otto, who is far away in the Water Gate City, seems to be the only absolutely rational strategist in the team.

If Otto knew about these things, all the problems might be solved.

Alright everyone!

[Continue playing the mansion episode—]

The images playing on the dome screen.

Natsuki Subaru stared at everything before him, his pupils trembling.

What's going on? How is this possible? Why is this happening?

Am I dead?

Death has returned?

Rem's expression changed slightly, but she still stepped forward: "Guest, guest, what's wrong? You look unwell?"

Ram asked in return, "Guest, you look like you have an upset stomach. Did you soil your pants?"

Subaru Natsuki was completely baffled. He gasped for breath and tentatively asked.

"Don't you two recognize me?"

Ram and Rem were taken aback for a moment, then exchanged a glance, seemingly puzzled as to why their guests were behaving so strangely.

"Have you all forgotten that memory?"

Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth and got out of bed.

Then, Natsuki Subaru rushed out of the room at top speed and ran down the corridor.

Natsuki Subaru wiped away his tears with his arm.

"What is this?! Damn it!!!!"

"Has everything been reset?! Even that promise with Emilia...!??"

Natsuki Subaru pushed open a door and went inside. Sure enough, it was Beatrice's forbidden library.

Natsuki Subaru gasped for breath, trying to calm himself down, before finally collapsing weakly against the door and sitting on the floor.

"He didn't even knock on the door, what an impolite fellow."

Natsuki Subaru was taken aback.

After his final conversation with Beatrice, Subaru Natsuki discovered that this time the save point wasn't the apple stand guy's place, nor was it the first time he woke up in this mansion.

When Natsuki Subaru first woke up in this mansion, he went out for a stroll and accidentally bumped into Beatrice. Beatrice then kicked him out, and he fainted again.

It seems the save point is when you wake up again after being blasted out by Beatrice.

"Has everything changed...?"

"Why did I die? I didn't sense any danger at all last night, neither before nor after I fell asleep..."

Beatrice closed the book with some dissatisfaction.

"What are they muttering about over there? It's all incomprehensible nonsense."

"This is utterly boring and nonsensical."

Natsuki Subaru smiled slightly and then stood up from the floor of the library.

The time Subaru spent with Beatrice allowed him to calm down.

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help."

"I didn't do anything." Beatrice was a little confused as to why Subaru Natsuki would suddenly thank her.
