Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Inside the Tower of Sages, everyone's eyes fell on Emilia without prior arrangement.

Emilia herself looked completely bewildered and confused.

Emilia herself has no recollection of what was shown on the screen.

Mary glanced at Emilia with a teasing look.

"I never imagined you two would have such a dramatic encounter..."

"Hero saves the damsel in distress... wait, no, that's not right."

Ram snorted coldly: "Hmph, as expected, Barus is always so lame."

Emilia remained silent, simply listening to the discussions around her.

No.

Emilia finally spoke.

"My encounter with Subaru wasn't like that at all."

"I have absolutely no memory of that!"

Emilia raised her voice slightly.

It wasn't anger, but fear of this deviation from the memories in my mind.

The group stopped their discussion and looked at Emilia.

"Lady Emilia, you mean... you don't remember anything like this happening?" Julius seemed to realize something.

Beatrice stood in front of Shaula.

"What exactly is going on?"

Xia Wula shook her head blankly as well: "I already told you I really don't know..."

The appearance of the sky curtain allowed them to learn some things they had never known before, but it also increased their confusion.

Anastasia sighed, "We still don't know enough information. Let's wait and see."

……

The video continues to play on the sky.

Emilia eventually intervened and saved Subaru Natsuki from being beaten, and chased away the three punk thugs.

Emilia, whose belongings had been stolen, said to Puck, the elf who looked like a kitten, "I absolutely will not save him!"

This was also the last thing Natsuki Subaru heard before he fell into a coma.

However, when Subaru Natsuki woke up, the face that came into view was that of the little cat next to Emilia.

The kitten was enlarged to the size of an adult, and Natsuki Subaru was lying on the kitten's lap.

Natsuki Subaru was startled.

He discovered that his injuries had almost healed.

Natsuki Subaru knew it must be thanks to the silver-haired girl in front of him.

Emilia looked at Subaru Natsuki and said haughtily that she saved him because she wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the stolen badge.

Natsuki Subaru: "?"

"But I don't know anything?"

Emilia retorted matter-of-factly, "Since you provided information you knew nothing about, then the favor of saving your life is off!"

The silver-haired girl finally warned Subaru Natsuki not to walk alone in such deserted alleys in the future.

"This isn't concern, it's advice!"

After saying that, the silver-haired girl and the kitten left.

Natsuki Subaru realized that the silver-haired girl was a kind-hearted tsundere, so he immediately grabbed his things and followed her.

"I can help!"

Emilia looked at the helpless man in front of her and didn't think that Subaru Natsuki could be of any help.

"At least I remember the thief's face!"

"Then... what is your purpose in helping me?"

"Helping you is actually helping myself! Doing a good deed every day!"

Emilia sensed the boy's sincere intentions and agreed to let Subaru Natsuki join in the help.

Emilia and Subaru search for the thief together in town, and during this time, they gradually become acquainted.

Emilia told Subaru Natsuki his name.

Whether out of a playful impulse or self-deprecation, Emilia did not reveal her real name.

"My name is Satella."

Natsuki Subaru had no idea at the time that she was a witch who was despised and rejected by the world and almost destroyed it.

I was just foolishly happy because I knew the name of the person in front of me.

"What a great name!"

Natsuki Subaru smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Emilia paused for a moment, while the cat beside her and Emilia's fairy Puck were both quietly complaining about Emilia's wicked sense of humor.

……

Silence reigned within the Tower of Sages.

All eyes were on Emilia, who lowered her head somewhat shyly.

She had no idea what was going on with the images being projected onto the screen.

When did she develop such a perverse sense of humor?

This is a smear campaign against her...

"This can't be real... I don't remember any of this happening..."

Anastasia began her analysis.

"To be honest, we can't tell whether the images projected on this screen are real or fake."

"Everything seems to make sense, but the people involved in the video don't remember ever having this experience."

"But... Tenbu said at the beginning that this is a hidden story, about Natsuki Subaru."

"If it's fake... why would Tianmu (the website) bother to fake it? Why go to all that trouble to show us these fake things?"

Julius was also thinking about this problem.

"If that's true, then everything becomes even more difficult to explain..."

"What exactly is the Sky Curtain? What is the hidden story behind it? What did Subaru hide from us before?"

Unable to reach a conclusion through discussion, the group could only calm down and continue watching the content displayed on the sky.

Emilia couldn't watch any longer: "Everyone, I'm going to find Subaru!"

After saying that, Emilia ran out of the room.

However, to Emilia's surprise, even without looking at the sky, the images in the sky would appear before her eyes.

"Looks like they're determined to show us..."

Beatrice stood up and followed Emilia.

"You all stay here. Don't worry, Emilia and I will bring that idiot Subaru back."

Julius nodded, not stopping him: "Yes, let Subaru see these images more often; maybe they'll remind him of his past memories!"

……

The sky curtain.

Subaru and Emilia continued searching for clues, but unexpectedly encountered a lost little girl.

Emilia decided to help the little girl first.

Natsuki Subaru was somewhat shocked by the kindness of this beautiful girl named Satella.

Even though he was very anxious about losing his own things, he was still willing to help complete strangers.

Natsuki Subaru and Emilia work together to help the little girl find her family.

The little girl didn't trust them at first.

On the contrary, it was Natsuki Subaru, who had a somewhat fierce appearance, who performed a small magic trick to gain the little girl's trust.

The little girl held Emilia's hand with her left hand and Subaru's hand with her right.

"Why do I get this illusion of a couple going out with their child...?"

Natsuki Subaru's heart raced, and he couldn't help but think this.

After walking for a short while, the two met the little girl's mother.

After parting ways with the little girl, they continued walking.

Subaru Natsuki and Emilia went to rest on the bridge.

Emilia said softly, "Subaru Natsuki, your personality makes you very vulnerable to being taken advantage of."

Natsuki Subaru was somewhat displeased: "I don't want to be talked about by someone as kind-hearted as you, who's so easily taken advantage of!"

"And don't treat me like a child, we're about the same age!"

Emilia sounded somewhat dejected: "No, I'm a half-elf, I..."

In this world, everyone knows that the witch who almost came into being was also a half-elf.

Emilia thought that Subaru Natsuki would distance himself from her and hate her because of this.

To Emilia's surprise, Subaru Natsuki gave her an "I see" look.

"I see, no wonder she's so cute."

"After all, elves are typically very beautiful!"

Subaru Natsuki said with a smile.

Emilia was quite surprised.

This is the first time in so many years that someone has praised her for being cute even knowing she is a half-elf.

"Subaru is such an idiot!"

Emilia squatted on the ground, covering her head with her hands, and said with a hint of reproach.
