Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Ram and Rem appeared to be unconscious, breathing rapidly, their faces pale, and cold sweat pouring down their faces.

Julius, who was on patrol, unexpectedly bumped into Ram sitting in the corridor.

???

Julius strode over and found that Ram had fallen into a state similar to a coma, and his overall condition was extremely poor.

"What's going on? Have we been targeted by the enemy?"

Julius gritted his teeth and immediately went on high alert, fearing that an enemy might suddenly appear from any corner to launch a sneak attack.

Julius knew that Ram's condition couldn't be delayed, so he picked Ram up with one hand and gripped the sword hilt with the other, carrying Ram into the green room as quickly as possible.

However, the micro-sprites in the green room didn't react much to Ram.

"What's going on?"

Julius frowned slightly.

"Is this condition something even the Micro-Elves can't cure?"

"Yes, Julius."

"A broken heart, or rather, a knot in one's heart, cannot be healed by the micro-spirit."

Anastasia appeared at the doorway at some point, arms crossed, and said this.

Julius still didn't understand.

"?"

Anastasia shrugged.

"Anyway, Ram and Rem are both fine, don't worry."

Instead of worrying about that, you should hurry back to the kitchen and help out.

Julius glanced at Ram lying in the green room.

Her expression was sometimes one of extreme pain, and veins bulged on her forehead.

He would occasionally reveal a genuine smile, as if he were extremely happy.

A few seconds later, the smile turned into deep sorrow, and tears even streamed down her face.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Ram was going crazy.

Is this really okay?

Julius was somewhat worried, but after listening to Anastasia's words, he believed Anastasia.

"I understand, Lady Anastasia."

The two left the green room, and Julius took one last look at Ram.

"I hope those sisters are alright."

……

Library.

Natsuki Subaru has been searching for his own Book of the Dead.

Unfortunately.

The number of books about the dead here is ridiculously high.

For Subaru Natsuki to find his own Book of the Dead is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Natsuki Subaru scratched his hair in annoyance.

"Damn it, everyone's waiting for me, waiting for the old Natsuki Subaru. How can I waste my time here?"

"How can I hold everyone back? How can I let everyone down? You all still need me, you still need Natsuki Subaru."

……

Emilia and Beatrice, who were hiding in the shadows at a distance, naturally heard Subaru Natsuki's words, and they felt very uncomfortable after hearing them.

"Pleiades……"

Emilia almost walked out.

Beatrice grasped Emilia's hem.

"etc."

"Let's wait a little longer..."

"If we go out now, Subaru will probably have to force himself again."

"He only reveals his true thoughts when he is alone."

"Although this probably won't do much to ease his inner pain."

"But... even for just a little while, Betty hopes he won't force himself, that he can be himself and not think about others."

"If we go there now, that person will probably worry about our feelings and consider our situation..."

Emilia thought of this when Beatrice pulled her back.

Emilia stopped.

Let Natsuki Subaru relax a bit, don't push yourself too hard, and think more about yourself.

This is not just Beatrice's wish.

"Well, let's just watch Subaru quietly like this then..."

……

As Natsuki Subaru continued his search for his Book of the Dead, he felt his mind becoming increasingly confused.

What exactly happened?

Even those who hadn't lost their memories were somewhat bewildered and lost after experiencing everything that had happened in the past two days.

Not to mention Subaru Natsuki, who has lost his memory.

Natsuki Subaru only knows that he has a deep emotional connection with Emilia, Beatrice, and Rem.

Natsuki Subaru's feelings for them were so strong that even with his amnesia, his body's instincts, or rather... his subconscious, drove him to act on them.

They were treated the same as before.

Natsuki Subaru was even able to utter comforting words, but he himself did not understand why he was able to say them.

Natsuki Subaru even wondered if the original Natsuki Subaru was fighting for control of his body.

That would be good too.

What people need is not the current Natsuki Subaru, nor this burden who needs to be taken care of.

What everyone needs is the former hero, the omnipotent Natsuki Subaru.

The more Natsuki Subaru thought about it, the more confused he became.

I was also very anxious.

……

Water gate city.

On the light screen that appeared in front of Otto and Garfield, a countdown had been added.

"Otto, what's this?"

"Looks like I thought..."

Otto stroked his chin, his expression not particularly surprised.

"If this light screen isn't deceiving us, according to this countdown, we should appear in the Sage's Tower when the countdown ends."

Garfield's pupils contracted slightly, then an expression of excitement appeared on his face.

"Very good!!!!"

"The general needs the two of us right now! I can't be absent!!"

"Calm down, Garfield..."

"The situation at the Tower of Sages is probably worse than we imagined."

"Don't be too impulsive when you get there."

Otto kept thinking about the clues and information he had now learned about the Tower of Sages.

According to current intelligence, as long as Otto and Garfield can reach the Sage's Tower, the team's lack of combat power and strategists will be almost solved.

But Otto was not the kind of careless person.

The Archbishop of Gluttony is hiding in the Tower of Sages, and Subaru Natsuki, the core of the team, has lost his memory again.

Otto even had a premonition.

The greatest challenge facing the Tower of Sages today is not resolving the issue of the Bishops of Gluttony.

Instead.

The mental health issues of Natsuki Subaru and the others.

"Please, please don't let anything go wrong..."

……

Rem got out of bed in a cold sweat.

Rem was still a little shaken by what she had just experienced.

Subaru Natsuki, Rem's hero, has experienced hell all the way.

Everything that the sky had just allowed Rem to experience...

Not only did Rem understand Subaru's pain,

This also made Rem realize the feelings that Subaru Natsuki had for her and for them.

From the moment I arrived in this world until I resolved the mansion crisis,

Rem experienced everything that Subaru Natsuki went through.

Rem sat on the bed, almost curling herself up into a ball.

"Pleiades……"

Rem still doesn't understand why the pain the Sky Curtain caused her wasn't 100%.

Natsuki Subaru's level of suffering was clearly 100%.

[The maid is so oblivious!]

However, considering that Miss Maid provided a lot of emotional points to this Sky Curtain this time, Sky Curtain still plans to give Rem a little reward as a consolation.

[From now on, I'll rely on this reward to protect those important to me.]

[Reward: Demon horns are fully enhanced, and magic power is increased to a certain extent]
