Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Natsuki Subaru realized that he wasn't from another world at all.

Natsuki Subaru recalled the world he originally came from.

Every little thing he experienced in that world.

All his memories of being with his parents in that world.

These memories feel like they happened just yesterday.

[Natsuki Subaru: ...Dad? ...Mom?]

[Natsuki Subaru: What's wrong with you guys...?]

When Natsuki Nahoko saw the message from her son, she almost lost her balance.

That profile picture is definitely of my son.

The son is not dead, and can even communicate with them?

Naoko's lips trembled.

[Natsuki Naoko: Subaru?]

[Natsuki Naoko: What exactly happened? Where have you been for the past year? What have you been through?]

[Natsuki Naoko: Why are the images projected onto this celestial screen showing unfamiliar places and strange things?]

[Natsuki Naoko: This canopy is fake, isn't it? You're abroad now, right?]

Natsuki Nahoko glanced at some of the images playing on the screen.

The scene above doesn't seem like something out of this world, nor does it seem like something any film crew could shoot.

Natsuki Nahoko found it hard to accept that her son had simply vanished from this world and appeared in another.

Natsuki Nahoko hopes to get an answer from Natsuki Subaru.

She received an answer she didn't want to believe.

Kenichi Natsuki looked at his wife, who was crying, and could only grit his teeth and gently pat her shoulder.

"Naoko..."

Natsuki Subaru didn't know how to reply for a moment.

More than a year has passed?

For Natsuki Subaru now, he has only just stepped out of his home and arrived in another world.

The memories that flooded his mind could only tell Natsuki Subaru that his life in the other world had probably only lasted a few months.

After all, Subaru Natsuki's memories are incomplete now.

But this...

That was enough to shock Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru's face turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

"So... Mom and Dad... searched for me for a year, searching for someone who couldn't possibly exist in that world?"

Natsuki Subaru felt an excruciating pain in his heart.

Natsuki Subaru dared not imagine how much pain his parents were in.

Natsuki Subaru didn't dare to imagine that if it weren't for the appearance of the Sky Curtain, he might never have had the chance to talk to his parents in his entire life.

Beatrice and Rem each grabbed Subaru Natsuki's left and right hands respectively.

"Subaru, it's okay to cry if you're feeling down."

"Huh?"

"After all, Subaru, your expression is worse than crying right now."

Rem gently stroked Subaru Natsuki's hair.

"Subaru, you're always putting on a brave face. Please rely on us sometimes..."

Emilia really wanted to comfort Subaru Natsuki, but...

However, someone still needs to answer Natsuki Nahoko's question.

It seems that these two are indeed people that Natsuki Subaru knows.

And... these two are Subaru Natsuki's parents.

Emilia exhaled and perked up.

These two people are very important!

Emilia is now responsible for communicating with Kenichi and Nahoko Natsuki and reporting on Subaru Natsuki's current situation.

of course.

Emilia only reports good news and never bad news.

As for the matter of returning from death, Emilia did not bring it up herself, since it wouldn't be long before the two of them would see it, and there was no way to hide it from them.

Emilia did not answer questions she did not know the answers to.

Kenichi Natsuki looked at his wife, who was too grief-stricken to speak.

[Natsuki Kenichi: Thank you, young lady, thank you so much. You've been taking care of my son... I'm sorry to have troubled you.]

[Natsuki Kenichi: By the way, young lady, what's your relationship with my son?]

Emilia blushed instantly.

How should she answer?

Emilia really wanted to give that answer.

But now Subaru Natsuki has lost his memory and many of the memories between the two of them.

If I were to say it out loud... wouldn't Subaru find it hard to accept?

Subaru Natsuki, slightly roused, uttered a few words.

Subaru Natsuki: Emilia is the person I like.

!!!

Subaru Natsuki blushed instantly upon sending this message.

He didn't know why he had impulsively said such a thing.

Sending such messages to parents in a public chat room.

Will Emilia feel embarrassed? Will Emilia be unable to accept it?

Natsuki Subaru blushed and dared not look Emilia in the eye.

I was afraid that if I looked up, I would see a pair of disappointed eyes.

Emilia smiled gently as she looked at Subaru Natsuki, who looked like a child who had done something wrong.

"Really... Subaru."

……

In short, after a brief exchange.

Kenichi and Nahoko are in much better condition.

At least they know their son is alive and has many friends in the other world who absolutely believe in him.

Natsuki Subaru calmed down, though his eyes were still red.

Julius was still in shock.

Xia Wula finally realized what was happening!

"I can't be rude!"

[Xia Wula: Hello, Grandpa! Grandma! My name is Xia Wula! I am Master's disciple!]

Anastasia was shocked by the level of acceptance that Shaula had shown.

How could she accept all of this so quickly? And how could she immediately greet Subaru Natsuki's parents?

Otto wasn't too surprised and gave an "I knew it" look.

Garfield's brain was about to shut down.

"What's going on?"

"Natsuki Subaru, this person is a time traveler."

"From the very beginning, Subaru kept saying things we couldn't understand, and considering everything shown on the celestial screen, it all makes sense!"

"Subaru first came into our world after emerging from that brightly lit, shop-like place!"

"That brightly lit shop is Subaru's original world!"

"Subaru is not from any country; he is not from this world at all."

This time Garfield understood.

"Is that why it's so heartbreaking for the general to meet his parents in the chat room...?"

……

After finishing their conversation with the Natsuki couple, everyone in the Sage's Tower, as well as the Natsuki couple in another world, began watching the images projected on the celestial screen.

……

While wandering aimlessly down the corridor, Natsuki Subaru unexpectedly spotted Rem tidying up the flowerbeds outside the window.

"Isn't that where I just fell?"

Subaru Natsuki quickly walked to Rem's side.

"I'm sorry I've caused you trouble."

Natsuki Subaru didn't expect that Rem would be even more indifferent this time around than last time.

Rem, who was tidying up the flower bed, saw Subaru Natsuki approaching, politely stood up, bowed, and quickly left.

"Yes, sir, I shall take my leave now."

Didn't I even get a chance to speak to them?

Natsuki Subaru was somewhat helpless, so he could only wander around the mansion by himself for the time being.

Natsuki Subaru went to check each room but found nothing unusual.

[Otto: Subaru... didn't you notice that the biggest anomaly in the entire mansion is you?]

[Red: Idiot]

Priscilla: Well, let's leave that aside for now. Natsuki Subaru was really stupid during this period.

Petra: You're not allowed to talk about Lord Subaru like that!

[Felix: I can't bear to watch anymore, meow...]

[Otto: Although that happened a long time ago, you were really careless back then.]

Otto was genuinely somewhat helpless.

This time.

Subaru Natsuki does many suspicious things.

"Rem's great hostility towards Subaru back then was probably because of the so-called lingering fragrance of the witch."

"Subaru's lingering witch scent will become stronger after he returns from the dead, making Rem even more disgusted and wary of him."

"And then there's this suspicious behavior..."

Otto couldn't bear to watch any longer, and he was even more reluctant to let those people watch.

"Rem... and Uncle and Aunt Natsuki... sigh..."

"And others..."
