Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Otto approached with concern.

Are you really okay?

"I have something to do. You take Patra back to Dragon House."

"But!" Otto wanted to say something more.

"Please." Natsuki Subaru interrupted him.

Otto had no choice but to agree and left with Patrachi.

Subaru Natsuki went to find Roswaal.

Roswaal still wore that hypocritical, disgusting, nauseating smile that made you want to punch him in the face.

Natsuki Subaru hadn't felt anything before, but ever since he learned what Roswaal had done, he felt disgusted.

"Should we ignore the method of leaving the sanctuary through the grave?"

Natsuki Subaru tried asking Roswaal, but didn't have high hopes.

"That's really wishful thinking, it seems like this isn't the first time."

Roswaal chuckled.

"This is the first time I'm telling you this, although we've tried to find out each other's secrets countless times before."

Natsuki Subaru's words made Roswaal's eyes widen.

"It seems we've had quite a bit going on," Roswaal said.

"I also learned a lot of other things, such as where Ryuzu's facilities are located and that Garfield is an Apostle of Greed."

"You've done a great job, but isn't ignoring the graves a bit too weak?"

"Is there any reason to get results immediately?" Roswaal asked.

"There's no particular reason, but I don't want to see Emilia get injured during the challenge."

Subaru Natsuki's expression was somewhat complicated.

"So you're still here, aren't you?"

"Do you think it's too painful to take on the trials for her?" Roswaal asked.

At this point, Subaru Natsuki's expression turned ugly.

"That's not how it works."

"Really not?"

"If you truly love Lady Emilia, then of course you should definitely take her on."

"You will put your heart aside for Lady Emilia."

"Right?"

Roswaal seemed to know Subaru Natsuki very well, and said this.

"Don't forget that someone will be heartbroken by your death."

The words of the Witch of Jealousy still echoed in his mind.

Subaru Natsuki's expression turned extremely ugly.

Roswaal sighed, and the smile on his face vanished.

"It seems you still haven't been able to bring yourself to be ruthless."

With a wave of his hand, Roswaal's clown-like makeup vanished.

"I still had some expectations for you." Roswaal seemed somewhat disappointed.

"I thought I would see the day I hoped for."

"But you haven't even reached the starting line of determination yet."

Roswaal lay back down on the bed.

"The starting line of determination? I don't understand."

"How much do you actually know about me?"

Subaru Natsuki had absolutely no idea what Roswaal was thinking or what he knew.

"I hope that you will achieve your goal, even if it goes against Emilia's wishes."

Upon hearing this, Subaru Natsuki's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Listen carefully, if you think you're doing this for Lady Emilia's own good, then you shouldn't care about what Lady Emilia thinks."

"A child who dreams of a childlike paradise has no resolve to step into the cruel hell hell he should have chosen."

Roswaal slowly turned his head.

What is this guy saying?

"But you've completely put the cart before the horse. You're doing this for Emilia, but you're actually hurting her!"

Subaru Natsuki retorted loudly.

"But his life was saved."

Roswaal said with a smile.

"Preserving life means preserving the future; preserving the future means preserving hope; preserving hope means preserving opportunity; and preserving opportunity means having the possibility of saving lives."

Did I say something wrong?

Roswaal's expression became somewhat unfamiliar to Subaru Natsuki.

This was the first time Subaru Natsuki had seen Roswaal like this.

He really is a madman.

Subaru Natsuki's expression changed.

What terrified him most was not the insane words Roswaal uttered.

Rather, it was because I had actually had similar thoughts to some extent.

This is the worst version of myself.

Absolutely irrefutable.

The fact that one cannot refute Roswaal's words at all, doesn't that precisely show that one's inner thoughts are the same as Roswaal's?

But he himself presented himself as a righteous and awe-inspiring figure.

He claims to be saving everyone, but his own heart is already twisted like Roswaal's, isn't it?

Is it enough to just survive?

Is it enough to only focus on the results?

Subaru Natsuki's mind was in complete chaos.

"Can't you talk back?"

How many more times will you disappoint me?

Roswaal pulled the Book of Wisdom from under his pillow.

"Then I'll harden my heart for you and give you another push."

Roswaal embraced the Book of Wisdom.

"You have already witnessed many problems that have occurred in the Sanctuary."

"But the problem isn't limited to the Sanctuary."

Roswaal continued.

"You mean the mansion? How did you even know about it?"

Subaru Natsuki exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course I know."

Roswaal gently stroked the Book of Wisdom a few times.

"I was the one who commissioned the assassin to attack the mansion."

Roswaal confessed.

Subaru Natsuki's pupils suddenly contracted, and the muscles in his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

His face was filled with disbelief.

Upon hearing those words, Subaru Natsuki was unable to think.

After regaining my senses, I felt anger.

Roswaal.

This madman!!!

Only now does Subaru Natsuki realize just how much trouble Roswaal has caused for the Sanctuary and for himself.

How many obstacles did you create for your actions in the Sanctuary? How much did you increase the difficulty?

This guy will attract not only big rabbits.

He might even kill the person next to him at any time, even his closest friend Ram.

did not expect……

Natsuki Subaru didn't dare to think about it either. Although he had long suspected this, he just hadn't wanted to believe it.

Even Elsa and Melly at the mansion...

Roswaal brought them all upon himself!

"Wait, wait a minute, just wait a second..."

Natsuki Subaru felt his legs go weak.

Anger and fear mingled in my heart.

It wasn't until now that Subaru Natsuki realized that his biggest enemy wasn't Elsa and Merry, nor was it the unpredictable Garfield.

Instead, it's this Roswaal who claims to be Emilia's backer.

Everything was within Roswaal's calculations; all the deaths and all the suffering were preordained.

Subaru Natsuki felt completely weak.

Who should he hate? Who should he vent his anger on?

Should we hate Elsa and despise Garfield?

Or should I hate Roswaal?

Natsuki Subaru felt like his brain was about to explode.

Elsa was simply accepting a commission to carry out the mission.

Garfield also wanted to protect the Sanctuary, and he was triggered by the lingering scent of the witch on his body.

Only Roswaal.

For his wish, for his obsession.

play hard.

Use everyone, sacrifice everyone.

Natsuki Subaru then realized that, if that were the case, then every death he had suffered in the Sanctuary, and even every death he had suffered at the mansion, was inextricably linked to Roswaal!

Roswaal!!!
