Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

There's a reason why Subaru Natsuki went to so much trouble to kill Otto in Minato City.

Her companions gathered around her.

Emilia, Beatrice, Ram, Roswaal, Petra, and Frederica, as Emilia's allies, surround Otto.

Natsuki Subaru looked at their faces.

"Right??"

Who is the most troublesome person I know?

"Otto," Emilia replied.

Who is the most troublesome person I know?

"Otto," Beatrice replied.

Who is the most troublesome person I know?

"It's frustrating, but that's Otto for you," Ram said.

Not just them.

Roswaal, Petra, Frederica—everyone gave the exact same answer.

"Just as I thought."

"If Garfield were to join, he would probably give the same answer."

"I won't underestimate you." Natsuki Subaru looked down at Otto.

"I won't underestimate anyone but myself. You're a formidable guy, so I'll stop at nothing to kill you."

"Master!!"

Natsuki Subaru wanted to say something more, but his words were interrupted by Shaula who came over.

Xia Wula's body was almost half covered in blood.

"It's finally over! I didn't expect it to be so tenacious. The contents of its stomach were blown away, yet it still survived. It's practically immortal!"

Natsuki Subaru's expression remained calm: "No wonder it took so long. Did you resolve it properly?"

Xia Wula patted her chest confidently: "Even its head is smashed. Aside from Master, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can survive with their head smashed, right?"

Natsuki Subaru was speechless: "Even I wouldn't survive if my head was smashed."

Otto watched as Subaru Natsuki chatted and laughed with Shaula, and he almost ground his teeth to powder.

He saw Subaru Natsuki smiling, showing his teeth.

Otto also grinned, revealing his teeth.

"Go to hell! You imposter!!!!"

These words deeply stung Subaru Natsuki.

The next second, white light shone into Otto's body.

Otto was left with only half a body.

……

Afterwards, Natsuki Subaru looked at Otto, who was now only half a body, and at Garfield's corpse, which had died in battle and was floating on the water.

He hypocritically mourned for the two men and for those who were killed in Watergate City.

Natsuki Subaru muttered to himself.

"I'm sorry."

"Pleiades."

Just then.

Reinhard arrived.

Although everyone knows from their memories that Reinhard is an incredibly powerful swordsman.

But how did they manage to stay completely dry even when the city was hit by floods?

Natsuki Subaru couldn't believe what he was seeing, nor did he want to accept it.

Reinhard is still trying to make amends for Subaru Natsuki.

"Did you do all this because of the woman beside you? Is it because of her?"

"No, I did all of this to follow my inner voice."

Reinhardt's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"I'm sorry, but your atrocities end here. This is the last thing I can do for you, for this friendship."

"It's such a downer that a friend who was supposed to attend the wedding said such a discouraging thing, but Emilia is already very happy."

Subaru, shut up, stop talking.

Reinhardt's sorrowful plea made Subaru Natsuki stop abruptly.

Seeing Reinhardt's contorted facial muscles, Subaru Natsuki felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if someone were squeezing it tightly.

Just like I have no hatred for Otto and Garfield.

The current Natsuki Subaru harbors no hatred towards the people he has killed.

But Subaru Natsuki still killed them.

Because all of this is necessary!!

To find the "Natsuki Subaru" of the past!

Natsuki Subaru sighed, not intending to have a decisive battle with Reinhard today.

"I will come and kill you someday, but not today."

Reinhard was puzzled. Did Natsuki Subaru still think he would let him go even now?

"If Felt wants to escape, she should go in that direction at the end of the city..."

Xiawula shot out a white light.

Reinhard held his breath and immediately flew in that direction at top speed.

"Shaula, let's call it a day."

"Yes, Master!!"

……

"I will definitely kill you, Reinhard."

"I will definitely, definitely, definitely kill you...!"

Subaru Natsuki's obsession has reached an extremely terrifying level.

The video displayed on the screen stopped here and went black.

[My life in another world, pieced together from scratch... has ended.]

……

Echidna stared blankly at the words "It's over."

"Huh??? Is it over already???"

"Is that all? If not, is there anything else?"

"Is Natsuki Subaru only capable of making different choices in that one place?"

【Lady Witch of Greed, please calm down, there will be other opportunities】

The sky seemed to offer a somewhat speechless reminder.

Echidna sighed helplessly.

"Is that so...? Well, that's pretty good too, it shows me more possibilities!"

"Although this possibility is somewhat hopeless... so what..."

……

An angry world line.

The King of Purification, also known as Natsuki Subaru, watched all of Natsuki Subaru's experiences that the Sky Screen had been showing so far, at the fastest speed he could.

From the capital city he had just traveled to, to the mansion arc, he chose to jump off a cliff, solely to save the two sisters.

Suqing Wang ran his fingers through his hair and rubbed it with a wry smile.

"So that's how it is... So there was someone as foolish as me... In that situation, I actually managed to muster the courage to jump off that cliff."

"Things will definitely develop differently from where I am now, right? Absolutely different, right?"

After witnessing all this, King Suqing felt a mix of emotions.

King Sukō also recalled the optimistic and wonderful times when he was like Natsuki Subaru in the video.

"Everything... is already beyond repair..."

……

Gluttony Worldline.

Natsuki Subaru, with his white hair, looked at the footage of his past experiences playing on the screen so far, and his eyes lit up.

"Ahhh... So that's how it is, so that's how it is, I knew it."

"Natsuki Subaru, who is willing to risk his life repeatedly to save others, and even willingly die himself..."

"I knew it... I finally understand why so many people are looking forward to and liking 'Natsuki Subaru'!"

"If I can turn 'Natsuki Subaru' back to normal as soon as possible, everything can still be salvaged, everything can be like it was before!"

"Right, Emilia? Right, Beatrice?"

Her companions looked at Natsuki Subaru, who was now almost delirious with joy, with complicated expressions, while Emilia nodded gently.

"Hmm... I guess so... Subaru, let's not talk about that now, you haven't eaten all day..."

Natsuki Subaru stood up with a light laugh.

"Okay, I'll start preparing dinner now."

Now that Natsuki Subaru had already watched all the images played on the celestial screen, he had nothing else to do, so he simply listened to Emilia and began preparing dinner.

"I guess it really needs to be paired with mayonnaise..."
