Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Rem stared in disbelief at the reward presented by the sky before her, while simultaneously feeling the magical power surging within her body.

"He has indeed become stronger..."

Rem's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"But why is that?"

"Rem is clearly a sinner..."

"Why are you giving me all this? Instead of letting me benefit, why not give all the benefits to Subaru? Subaru should be the one receiving them!"

Tianmu did not reply.

Rem felt a lump in her throat.

……

Lunchtime.

The group, who had been acting independently, gathered at the restaurant.

Subaru Natsuki, who went to the library to find his "Book of the Dead," was the first to return, fearing that he would be found and that his thoughts would be discovered.

Emilia and Beatrice returned almost immediately afterward.

Natsuki Subaru's heart tightened.

"Emilia-tan and Beatrice? Where did you two go?"

"What a coincidence! We got back here almost at the same time. If I had come back any later, the three of us might have run into each other!"

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head guiltily.

Emilia said with a smile, "Beatle and I went to the balcony for some fresh air and took a look at the huge sky outside."

"The sky outside is truly breathtaking no matter how many times I see it, haha..."

Emilia's lies were very unnatural.

Beatrice was speechless.

Are these two children?

Afterwards, Emilia and Beatrice sat down next to Subaru Natsuki as they had in the morning, or more precisely, Beatrice sat in Subaru Natsuki's lap once again.

Afterwards, Ram and Rem also arrived at the restaurant.

Subaru Natsuki's lips twitched slightly.

Sure enough, I always feel very heavy whenever Rem is around.

This was indeed not an illusion.

Rem sat down next to Subaru Natsuki, cautiously trying to touch his hand, but then felt a pang of guilt and wanted to pull it back the moment she did.

Subaru Natsuki then grabbed Rem's hand.

Feeling the warmth of Subaru's hand, Rem's lips curled up slightly.

The group quickly gathered at the restaurant, and after having lunch, they decided to stay there and wait for the celestial screen to continue playing.

There's still some time before the sky screen starts playing the story of Subaru Natsuki at 1 PM.

No one spoke in the room, and a silence fell over it.

Subaru Natsuki felt a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere and spoke softly.

"Speaking of which... isn't the situation... so optimistic right now?"

"The enemy is hiding in the Sage's Tower. I have the ability to return from death, but I've lost my memory. Now I can only gradually recall my past memories through the celestial canopy..."

Emilia's pupils contracted slightly, and she immediately gripped Subaru's hand tightly.

Emilia recalled Natsuki Subaru's earlier monologue while searching for his Book of the Dead.

"Subaru, don't overthink it."

"Subaru is Subaru. Whether you have amnesia or not, you will always be the most important person to me."

"As for the situation at the Sage's Tower, don't worry... I will definitely protect you!"

"I just hope Subaru... can you be a little happier... okay?"

"Look, you've been frowning the whole time; you haven't really smiled in a long time."

Emilia held up two fingers and lifted the corner of Subaru Natsuki's mouth.

"Emilia Carbon?"

"Hmph, Subaru, you idiot, Betty thinks so too."

Beatrice sat in Subaru's lap, arms crossed, looking haughty.

Rem was clinging tightly to Subaru's arm, her blue hair brushing against his shoulder.

"Subaru doesn't need to think about that... If there really are enemies... Rem will clean up the mess for Subaru..."

Xia Wula put her arms around Natsuki Subaru's neck.

"Xia Wula will absolutely obey Master's orders! Master, there's no need to worry!"

"Master, don't forget! I love you!"

Natsuki Subaru chuckled softly.

Just then, it was 1 o'clock.

[Although I really wanted to continue showing the scenes of Natsuki Subaru at the mansion]

However, I believe that at this stage, playing other content would be more effective in generating emotional engagement!

What would Subaru Natsuki be like if he made different choices at different times? What would the world be like?

[I'm sure many of you are curious about this, so let me answer that question!]

[Playback will begin now]

[A Resurrected Life in Another World from Zero!!! (Gluttony Route)]

"Strange?? This is..."

Julius was puzzled, since the screen had been playing footage based on Subaru Natsuki's experiences.

Why are you suddenly saying such strange things?

What if a different choice was made?

This is a question that many people have indeed thought about.

Many, many times, Subaru Natsuki could have made different choices.

What would have happened if Subaru Natsuki had made different choices at those times?

Priscilla: Other options? Hmph, don't disappoint me.

Crusch: Is this meant to show us other, different worlds?

[Reinhard: Subaru will always be Subaru. No matter what choices Subaru makes, I believe Subaru's essence will not change!]

Kenichi Natsuki: ?

[Natsuki Naoko: ?]

[Natsuki Nahoko: Subaru? Can you still see it over there? Why isn't our screen showing any notification or continuing to play?]

Subaru Natsuki's pupils contracted slightly: "Can't Mom and Dad see them?"

"Is this made of a dome?"

Natsuki Subaru realized that this so-called life in another world, pieced together from scratch, was probably not so easy to accept.

Natsuki Subaru laughed it off with his parents, thus skipping the topic.

Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth slightly: "Is the Sky Curtain choosing not to let Mom and Dad see this? What's going on...?"

Just now.

Shaula, Julius, Ram, and Rem instantly became alert, all four of them looking towards the door of the room.

There are people outside.

Natsuki Subaru's heart started racing: "Feed? No way?"

"Are they enemies?"

Julius stood up, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and prepared for battle.

Not only Julius, but also Shaula, Ram, and Rem.

The person outside simply knocked lightly on the door.

"Um? Hello?"

"I am Otto, and in the blink of an eye, I've appeared here with Garfield..."

That was Otto's voice.

"General, are you inside?!"

Garfield's excited shouts came from outside the door.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only after they saw that the two people outside the door were indeed Otto and Garfield.

The sky seemed to have no intention of giving them a chance to reminisce, and the same images began to play on the light screens in front of each person.

The image shows Natsuki Subaru, who has just lost his memory.

After being pushed down the stairs to his death several times by mysterious people, Natsuki Subaru realized that he probably had the ability to have precognitive dreams.

Although I don't know the trigger mechanism, if I tell my friends about this, this ability will definitely become very strong!

Natsuki Subaru was about to go find his companions when he overheard them arguing.

They were arguing about whether to abandon Natsuki Subaru, who had lost his memory.

Echidna, who has taken over Anastasia's body, is eager to quickly conquer the Sage's Tower because she is constantly depleting Anastasia's life force.

Anastasia doesn't think Subaru Natsuki can play any role right now.

Surprisingly, Ram also agreed with Echidna's idea.

Moreover, almost everyone in the room, except for Emilia and Beatrice, agreed to temporarily abandon Subaru Natsuki.

Subaru Natsuki's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Why, why, why, why?"

"Am I just a burden? Is everyone just eager to get rid of me?"

"What they need isn't me... What they need is 'Natsuki Subaru,' they need a hero, not me...!"
