Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

……

Inside the Tower of Sages.

Everyone turned to look at Rem.

His eyes held a complex mix of emotions: worry and a hint of doubt from Xia Wula.

Xia Wula's eyes seemed to ask, "Master, is this person truly trustworthy?"

Subaru Natsuki signaled to Shaula not to doubt Rem.

Subaru Natsuki took Rem's hand.

"Remember my words."

"Rem, you are not a sinner. Nobody considers you a sinner."

Rem kept her head down, her bangs obscuring her expression.

Obviously.

Subaru was the one who was hurt, the one who was hurt by himself.

Why has it come to this?

Why is Subaru comforting Rem so gently?

really...

If this continues...

"At least on these points, Ram agrees with Barus."

"Rem, you are Ram's most important family member."

Thinking about how I had actually forgotten about my most important family because of the mere sin of gluttony, I realized that I had actually forgotten about them.

Ram couldn't help but grit his teeth.

His eyes were filled with endless hatred and anger.

That feeling.

It feels like Ram is about to find the Archbishop of Gluttony and tear him to pieces.

Ram hates herself.

I hate myself for forgetting Rem before.

I hate my current weak self, the self that can't avenge Rem.

... ...

The projection on the dome will not stop because of the emotional fluctuations of some people.

Rem came out.

"Being eliminated without anyone knowing is the best option."

Natsuki Subaru couldn't believe it, couldn't accept this fact.

"This can't be real, right?? Rem???"

At this moment, Rem's eyes no longer held the gentleness they once had; there was nothing there, nothing at all, only the most intense, suppressed hatred and killing intent.

"If you don't resist, I can make your death quicker."

Rem didn't say anything more, nor did she intend to explain further or listen to Subaru Natsuki's words.

"Why do this? Can I ask this somewhat silly question?"

Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth, never expecting that the one who would kill him would be Rem, whom he had been completely unprepared for.

"Never overlook anything suspicious; that's Rem's motto as a maid."

"Does Ram know?" Subaru Natsuki asked again.

"I don't know, Rem plans to resolve this before her sister finds out."

Rem gripped the chains, dragging the terrifying flail along with it.

Natsuki Subaru lowered his head, looking extremely unwilling.

Am I really that untrustworthy?

"Yes," Rem replied crisply.

"How embarrassing! I thought I did a great job..."

Subaru Natsuki's expression was unpleasant.

"My sister..." Rem was about to say something.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear it!!!"

Natsuki Subaru's emotions were more volatile than a rollercoaster.

Natsuki Subaru quickly took out his phone, flashed it at Rem, and then fled.

Why? Why? What's going on? What's going on? Why exactly?

What did I do wrong? What did I do incorrectly? Even if I might have acted suspiciously this time, what about last time?

On the way back to the mansion last time, I was having a great chat with Rem...

Rem, why?

Natsuki Subaru's vision blurred several times as tears welled up.

Natsuki Subaru fled at top speed, facing the setting sun.

"rub!!"

A whooshing sound came as a wind blade struck Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru fell to the ground, and when he looked up again, he saw his own calf lying in front of him.

His lower leg was severed in one blow?

Subaru Natsuki's screams were deafening, and the expressions of everyone watching the celestial display changed.

Heartache, anguish, complex emotions, trembling...

"My feet!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaah!!!"

Subaru Natsuki's screams were heart-wrenching.

Natsuki Subaru forced himself to stand up, but no matter what he did, he couldn't straighten up.

Rem calmly caught up and cast a healing spell on Subaru's severed limb.

"If he dies so easily, we won't be able to get any information out of him..."

Rem picked up the kitchen knife that Natsuki Subaru had dropped when he fell.

"If you had used this to stab Rem when you flashed her eyes, your chances of escaping would have been much greater."

Rem threw the kitchen knife behind her.

Please answer me.

"Are you an enemy of Lady Emilia's opposing faction?"

"My heart will always be with Emilia Carbon."

Rem tried to keep her eyes calm, but the murderous intent and hatred in them were impossible to hide.

Rem swung her flail and smashed it hard at Subaru Natsuki.

"By whom? Under what conditions were you hired?"

"Emilia-tan's smile is priceless..." Natsuki Subaru said, almost using all his strength.

The meteor hammer struck Natsuki Subaru once again.

Blood splattered on Rem's face and hair.

Are you affiliated with the Witch Cult?

Rem made no attempt to conceal the hatred and murderous intent in her eyes.

Natsuki Subaru covered his bloodied and mangled body.

"The Witch Cult? Never heard of it."

"Ultimately, my family has never been religious..."

"Stop playing dumb! Stop lying!"

"She reeks of such a strong witch's stench! And she dares to lie and say she has nothing to do with the witch cult?!"

"Still pretending you know nothing? There's a limit to playing dumb!!"

Rem's face was filled with rage.

Subaru Natsuki had never seen Rem like this before.

Rem has always been calm, gentle, and serene.

This was the first time Natsuki Subaru had ever seen Rem react so intensely, so angrily, and so hatefully.

Natsuki Subaru was completely stunned, and for a moment he even forgot about the pain in his body.

"Every time I see you talking to your sister, Rem is driven crazy by anger, hatred, and anxiety!!"

"The culprit who made my sister go through that kind of ordeal, and the person connected to that culprit!"

"How dare they swagger into Rem and her sister's most important home!!!"

"I can't take it anymore!!"

Even knowing that my sister is just pretending to get close to you, pretending to be intimate with you! I still!!!

Natsuki Subaru trembled uncontrollably.

Natsuki Subaru could sense that his pain wasn't due to physical injuries, but rather to inner turmoil.

Natsuki Subaru's eyes welled up with tears.

Subaru Natsuki's eyebrows trembled incessantly, and then, seemingly no longer wanting to struggle, he simply collapsed onto the grass behind him.

It turns out that all along...

That's how they all see themselves.

It turns out that all along, all I've brought them is unease and anger.

It turns out that all along, I had been deluding myself into thinking that I had a good relationship with them.

Is all of this fake?

Natsuki Subaru felt little despair about his impending death; instead, he was deeply hurt by Rem's angry words.

Natsuki Subaru's hands were trembling violently, but he still raised his hands and looked at his palms.

"I no longer cut my hand when chopping vegetables."

"Reading and writing are simple things, but I'm starting to do them quite well."

"I've kept my promise and studied hard; I can already understand fairy tales..."

"Thanks to you all..."

Natsuki Subaru's tears welled up uncontrollably.

"What are you talking about?"

Rem couldn't understand what this strange person in front of her was saying at all.

It's just a bunch of nonsensical things!

Because he was recalling some pleasant memories, Natsuki Subaru forced himself to smile as he spoke.

"I'm talking about the memories you all gave me."

Natsuki Subaru glanced at Rem, whose face was gloomy.

"I don't remember anything like that."

Rem's words completely shattered Subaru Natsuki's spirit.

"Why don't I remember anything at all?!"

"Why is everyone conspiring together but ignoring me?!"

"Did I do something wrong?!?!"

"What exactly do you want me to do?!"

Natsuki Subaru roared in agony.

Why do you all hate me so much?!

The repeated deaths and rewinds brought Subaru Natsuki not only physical pain but also mental stress.

It is the ultimate loneliness.

That kind of unspeakable loneliness, unknown to everyone.

Of all the memories and promises, only he remembers them.

He alone bore all the pain and sorrow.

Natsuki Subaru roared out his resentment with all his might.

Natsuki Subaru's life force weakened slightly: "The promise to cut hair is also..."

Subaru Natsuki's voice became hoarse, and his face was covered in tears.

"I've always... you've always been my favorites..."

Rem couldn't listen anymore.

Ram too.

The wind blade severed Subaru Natsuki's neck, and blood gushed out!

The two did not give Subaru Natsuki a chance.

The chance to say the last few words.
