Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Beatrice looked at Subaru's expression and knew that he must have run into trouble.

"Could you please not bring trouble to this mansion?"

This mansion is very important to Betty.

"I don't want to cause trouble; I just want to avoid disaster..."

Beatrice looked at Subaru Natsuki's pitiful appearance and sighed helplessly.

Ultimately, the contract was reached.

After the contract was signed, Subaru Natsuki almost burst into tears.

Beatrice, on the other hand, had an arrogant look on her face.

"If you dare tell on me to my brother, I won't let you off the hook! Humph!"

……

night.

As expected, Natsuki Subaru had a nightmare and lay in bed with a pained expression.

The memories of his two previous painful and tragic deaths have become Subaru Natsuki's nightmare.

No matter how hard you run, you can't escape.

Blood splattered.

And Rem's face, filled with hatred and murderous intent.

In the dream, Rem once again raised her flail and smashed it at Subaru Natsuki.

"Stop it!"

In the midst of suffering,

Natsuki Subaru felt as if his hands were being held.

Natsuki Subaru gradually calmed down, escaped the nightmare, and fell into a deep sleep.

"How long are you going to sleep?"

Without hesitation, Bitsui kicked Subaru Natsuki awake.

"I reluctantly came to find you at the appointed time."

"It's amazing you can still sleep."

"I actually fell asleep at such a crucial moment. How careless of me..."

Natsuki Subaru was startled when he woke up.

He died in his sleep on the fourth night, so how come he can still sleep?

How do you manage to sleep?

Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but question himself.

Natsuki Subaru looked around and realized that he was actually in the Forbidden Library.

Beatrice said she couldn't stay in a place filled with the stench of witches.

So... it really was Beatrice who carried her here?

Natsuki Subaru did not forget the feeling in his dream.

"Beatles, although I think it's impossible, I still want to confirm with you..."

"You didn't hold my hand while I was asleep, did you?"

Beatrice scoffed, "How could that be? Even if it's just my brother's request, Betty will refuse."

What's going on?

Natsuki Subaru had no idea who was holding his hand while he was sleeping.

Could it be Emilia?

Subaru Natsuki considers this a mystery.

Beatrice threw a book at Subaru Natsuki, who caught it.

"You're so noisy, always asking questions."

Beatrice didn't chase him away, so Subaru Natsuki simply started reading the book Beatrice had thrown at him.

Time passed slowly.

Beatrice has already read a mountain of books.

suddenly.

Beatrice closed the book in her hand and stood up with a serious expression.

"It's calling me."

Beatrice left the library, and Natsuki Subaru had no choice but to quickly follow her out.

Standing in front of the library door, Natsuki Subaru could clearly feel the fear in his heart and the trembling of his hands.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth and immediately opened the door to the library.

Sunlight streamed through the window and shone on Subaru Natsuki's face.

"Does that mean I survived the fourth night?"

"I thought it was so far away, but it came so easily..."

Natsuki Subaru smiled bitterly.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

If things had been like this earlier, wouldn't I have avoided dying so many times in such agony?

At that moment, Emilia suddenly appeared.

"Subaru? Subaru, where did you go?"

Emilia wanted to say something, but then shook her head. Finally, she grabbed Subaru Natsuki's wrist and led him in one direction.

Emilia remained silent, simply leading Subaru Natsuki forward.

Natsuki Subaru, unaware of what had happened, forced himself to stay alert after just realizing he was alive.

"Emilia? Where are we going?"

Emilia's expression was somewhat gloomy, making it difficult to discern her true feelings.

"Why did you make that face? Is everyone alright? Like me, safe and sound, and Emilia too..."

"By the way, Emilia, let's go to the village. I have so much to tell you...!"

Emilia stopped and turned to look at Subaru Natsuki, hesitating to speak: "Subaru?"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

"don't want!!!!!!!!!!!"

Her voice was choked with sobs.

Natsuki Subaru didn't know what had happened, but a sense of foreboding arose within him.

Natsuki Subaru walked to the doorway next to Emilia, his lips trembling as he looked into the room.

Rem lay motionless on the bed, as if she were asleep.

But Subaru Natsuki knew that Rem was definitely not asleep.

Rem... is dead.

Ram lay on Rem's body, crying loudly.

Beatrice and Roswaal watched this scene in silence.

Why?

Why did Rem die?

Natsuki Subaru wanted to try touching Rem, to touch the person who had previously driven him to despair several times.

Before Natsuki Subaru could even touch Rem, Ram slapped his hand away forcefully.

"Don't touch her!! Don't touch Rem!! Don't touch Ram's sister!!"

Ram's face was streaked with tears, and her eyes were filled with anger.

Ram was confused. How could her sister have died out of the blue?

Ram wasn't sure if all of this was done by the incredibly suspicious man in front of her.

Natsuki Subaru lowered his gaze, intending to leave the room.

As I reached the door, I heard Roswaal's voice.

"The cause of death was weakness, like a deep sleep, the flame of life extinguished."

"It's more like a spell or curse than magic."

Subaru Natsuki was stunned and turned back to look at Rem again.

"I always thought Rem was behind that curse, but it turns out the sorcerer was someone else?"

Subaru Natsuki has obtained new information.

"Guest, do you know anything? My beloved subordinate was brutally murdered, and I'm unusually furious."

Roswaal asked this question.

I'm being suspected again.

No matter what, I am always the most suspicious one.

Emilia also grasped the hem of Subaru Natsuki's clothes.

"Subaru, if you know anything, just say it."

Natsuki Subaru wanted to tell everything; he desperately wanted to tell everything.

But the suffocating feeling of having his heart gripped was unforgettable; the fear and the pain were still vivid in his mind.

This made it impossible for him to reveal everything he knew.

Just as Subaru Natsuki hesitated, a wind blade shot towards him, slicing a small gash across his cheek.

Outside the door, the corridor lights were shattered by the wind blades.

Natsuki Subaru instantly recalled that his last death was when he was slashed in the neck by Ram's wind blade.

"If you know anything, tell me the truth right now!"

Ram unleashed another wind blade!

"Wait, Ram..."

Blinded by rage, Ram unleashed a wind blade aimed straight at Subaru Natsuki's face.

Beatrice stood in front of Subaru Natsuki, casting a spell to shield him from the dangerous attack.

"Betty will abide by the contract. During her time at the mansion, Betty will fulfill her contract to protect this man's safety."

Ram was quite surprised: "Lady Beatrice...?"

Beatrice spoke to Roswaal on Natsuki Subaru's behalf: "Roswaal, this guy was in the Forbidden Library all night yesterday, it shouldn't be him."

"The point of the matter is no longer here."

"However, I didn't expect you to stand up for him."

Roswaal's body surged with magical energy, as if he were about to take Natsuki Subaru's life at any moment.

Ram didn't want to deal with these things.

With tears in her eyes, Ram shouted, "Ram doesn't care about those things!"

"Don't get in my way, let Ram pass!"

"Ram wants revenge for Rem! If you know anything... please tell me! Help Ram... help Rem!"
