Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Otto: Mr. Natsuki...

Otto's face turned ashen.

Even just showing him Natsuki Subaru's experiences made Otto feel the despair, pain, loneliness, and pressure that were almost overwhelming.

Not to mention how painful it must have been for Natsuki Subaru, who personally experienced all of this.

"Is it a decision to die in order to save others?"

"Mr. Natsuki is far more powerful and greater than I imagined."

Otto has once again redefined his understanding of Subaru Natsuki.

It seems that Otto's understanding has been constantly being refreshed ever since he met Natsuki Subaru.

Garfield was covered in cold sweat.

[Garfield: General... what exactly is going on...?]

Garfield had never seen anyone like this before.

Despite being terrified, Ram quickly came to her senses and jumped off the cliff, hoping to return from the brink of death and save others.

But for Subaru Natsuki at that time, Ram and Rem were nothing short of nightmares.

He was simply reminded of the happy memories he shared with Ram and Rem, and the kindness Ram and Rem showed to Subaru.

Natsuki Subaru is able to make up his mind...

He made up his mind to die... even Natsuki Subaru himself didn't know if he would ever return from death again.

……

Priscilla's lips curled into a smile.

"Interesting, very interesting."

"Natsuki Subaru... this man's experiences are much more interesting than I imagined."

"And it's far more foolish."

Priscilla: There's no one else in this world as foolish as Subaru Natsuki.

[Felix: Yeah, meow. Subaru-san has become so stupid that he's gone against his biological instincts.]

[Felix: To have such awareness is already far beyond what most people can achieve, meow.]

Felix remained silent.

As a therapist, Felix has seen all sorts of injured people.

Felix knew very well that it was human nature to avoid pain and suffering.

It's unbelievable that there are people in this world who would suffer so much just to save others.

Felix: "What an idiot cat..."

Wilhelm's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"Lord Subaru Natsuki, I see... It's been like this since then..."

Wilhelm will never forget the look in Subaru's eyes when he first met him.

Those were the eyes of someone who had faced countless deaths. At the time, Wilhelm couldn't understand how anyone could possess such eyes.

Moreover, he was a seemingly ordinary young man.

Now Wilhelm understood.

Everything Natsuki Subaru experienced, the resolve he made, and everything he sacrificed.

Far more than I imagined!!

Wilhelm: Lord Subaru Natsuki, you are truly arrogant...

Wilhelm: So arrogant that he knew his abilities were limited, and that he was on the verge of collapse, yet he still tried to save others.

Wilhelm: But perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of Subaru Natsuki that he has become a "hero"...

Petra: Subaru-sama... why can't you be a little selfish...?

[Red: Hmph, at least you're starting to act like a man.]

[Baptist of Gluttony, Gourmet Rae: Ahhh... these memories... ahhh...]

[Reinhard: Subaru-kun...]

Reinhard's eyes trembled, as if he finally understood why the Dragon Sword had been drawn against this seemingly ordinary boy the moment they met.

Admittedly, Subaru Natsuki doesn't have much fighting ability.

However, this terrifying willpower and awareness, along with the ability to return from death, could potentially impact the entire world.

It now seems that Subaru Natsuki is on the right path, if...

Reinhardt considered a terrifying possibility.

If, during one of his Return by Death events, Subaru Natsuki's mind goes haywire and he transforms into a demon who wants to destroy the world...

So there's almost no one who can stop him...

Reinhard wiped the cold sweat from his face.

"Should I say it's really great that things are in this state now...?"

Inside the Tower of Sages.

Ram's gaze towards Subaru Natsuki completely changed.

Subaru Natsuki.

Ram took deep breaths repeatedly to calm herself down.

This person has sacrificed so much for him and Rem.

Ram couldn't help but recall.

Reflecting on my past attitudes toward this person.

Before the sky appeared, he even had the idea of ​​abandoning Subaru Natsuki.

Thinking of this,

Ram felt like he wasn't even human.

This person has done more for the two sisters than anyone else.

After all, in this world, apart from Subaru Natsuki, probably no one would be willing to give their life for the two sisters.

No one would be willing to die for the two sisters after being killed by them twice.

He was even willing to die for the two of them.

They can even say things like, "You are my favorite people."

He was still able to muster his spirits and was willing to save the two of them.

Ram bit her lip until it bled.

But Ramu didn't tell Subaru Natsuki anything.

An apology? Or a thank you?

None of those are useful.

None of this can make up for the harm that Natsuki Subaru suffered because of them.

"Barus, I'm sorry."

Ram was too ashamed to face Subaru Natsuki at this moment, and could only speak quietly in a voice that only she could hear.

Ram understood that he, too, needed to atone for his sins.

Ram glanced at the light screen in front of him and pondered silently.

To truly atone, one must...

Not only that...

Ram suddenly saw the light screen in front of him flicker.

Ram snorted: "Light screen... Ram is starting to wonder if this so-called light screen is created by someone with a twisted sense of humor."

……

Rem, however, remained surprisingly calm.

Rem didn't want Natsuki Subaru, who was already upset, to be distracted by her, to worry about her, or to think about her anymore.

"Everything is..."

"It's Rem's fault..."

Emilia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Subaru, you're so greedy."

"Why did you say 'You are all my favorite people'?"

"Is this one reason enough to make you willingly face death?"

After Natsuki Subaru jumped off the cliff, he looked like a man, struggling for a long time at the bottom before dying.

It lingered in Emilia's mind.

How painful must that be?

Beatrice had a somber expression on her face.

"Subaru...you seem really arrogant..."

"I want to change this tragic ending, to change 'fate' with my own strength..."

Why haven't you ever thought about yourself?

Julius's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Subaru Natsuki's impact on him was so profound that it reminded Julius of the scene at the royal selection.

Julius seemed just as shocked at the time.

Shaula clung to Subaru like a sloth, wiping her tears and snot all over him.

"Waaaaah! Master!!"

"Why, why, why?!"

Natsuki Subaru's lips twitched slightly: "Don't wipe your snot on me, hey!"
