Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

The two sisters, Ram and Rem, held hands tightly, their gazes towards Subaru filled with worry and concern.

Natsuki Subaru immediately sat up, looked at the two sisters, and wanted to say something, but showed a somewhat pained expression.

The two immediately went to Subaru Natsuki's side.

"Guest, guest? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Rem asked.

"Guest, guest? What's wrong? Has your old injury flared up again?" Ram asked.

To verify his earlier conjecture, Natsuki Subaru stretched out both hands and grasped Ram's and Rem's hands respectively.

"Let me hold your hand for a moment."

Natsuki Subaru grasped their hands and then closed his eyes.

"Just as I thought..."

It felt just like when I was holding my own hand in my sleep back then.

At that moment, sure enough, Ram and Rem held his hands.

"I wasn't wrong."

"Just like back then."

Natsuki Subaru looked like he was about to cry.

Ram and Rem quickly withdrew their hands and moved away from Subaru.

"No, sir, you've got something completely wrong," Rem said.

"No, guest, it was absolutely a mistake for you to have been born into this world," Ram said bluntly.

I was treated like a pervert.

that's true.

After all, from Ram and Rem's perspective, this was a guest who had just woken up.

This guest, who was still a stranger to them, suddenly and inexplicably took their hands.

She even looked like she was about to cry.

It's really hard not to be seen as a pervert, isn't it?

……

Priscilla laughed; she hadn't expected to witness such a dramatic scene.

[Priscilla: Pfft, those two maids must have been pretty desperate back then, right?]

[Priscilla: While we can understand Subaru's rude behavior from the celestial perspective, these two maids, without that celestial view, would definitely think Subaru is a pervert.]

Those watching the scene chuckled.

The scenes I saw before were all rather somber.

Seeing such a relaxed and even somewhat funny scene has eased everyone's heavy emotions.

Felix: Seriously, meow, I always have a feeling Subaru will do a lot of inexplicable things later on...

[Felix: But with this God's-eye view, it's not entirely incomprehensible, meow.]

[Reinhard: Hahaha, I didn't expect Subaru to do this... Although it's the fastest way to verify a guess, it's still quite startling.]

[Roswaal: Just as Subaru would do~~ Heh~]

……

Ram looked down at his hands.

So this is ah.

Subaru Natsuki was like a pervert back then.

It's to confirm previous guesses.

Ram recalled seeing Subaru Natsuki before, who was willing to die for Ram and Rem simply because of the trivial things they had done...

Even he himself wasn't sure if, after dying this time, he could go back to the way things were before...

I was terrified myself...

Ram's lips curled up slightly: "Barus... Ram really underestimated you."

"Ram, I'm so sorry... Barus... Thank you."

Rem also looked down at her hands.

Rem smiled knowingly: "I see."

"Subaru, thank you... for everything you've done for me... thank you... I'm sorry..."

Natsuki Subaru, unaware of the two sisters' inner thoughts, blushed instantly.

I was indeed too eager to test my ideas before.

"I was treated like a pervert..."

This is something a kind, gentle, and well-behaved young man cannot accept.

Emilia shook her head and chuckled.

Beatrice was both speechless and amused by Subaru Natsuki.

Xia Wula blinked, then immediately stretched out her hands toward Natsuki Subaru.

"Master! Master! If you need anything, please hold Xiawula's hand! Xiawula will always belong to you, Master!"

The atmosphere inside the Sage's Tower was also made much more relaxed by the short clip of footage playing on the screen.

However, Shaula's initiative attracted Rem's attention.

That gaze even sent a chill down Xia Wula's spine.

"What's going on?"

Emilia knew that Chaula was expressing his affection, but seeing Chaula like this still left her feeling somewhat uneasy.

Emilia felt her heart beating strangely.

"What's going on?"

This inexplicable feeling of unease.

Emilia didn't understand.

......

In the scene depicted on the sky.

Subaru Natsuki didn't care about the little incident of being regarded as a pervert by Ram and Rem.

He just felt that he was in a good state right now.

Everything did not develop to the point of no return.

Subaru Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that he felt good. Ram and Rem, on the other hand, felt that this guy had become even more perverted!

"Sister, sister, the customer might be the kind of troublesome person who's happy after being scolded!" Rem said anxiously.

"Rem, Rem, the guest looks like the kind of pervert who gets excited after being verbally abused!" Ram's expression was also uneasy, with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Soon after, Emilia also entered the room. Seeing that Subaru Natsuki was in good condition and getting along well with Ram and Rem, Emilia felt relieved.

Subsequent developments were the same as before.

However, Natsuki Subaru did not choose to be a diner at the mansion this time.

Natsuki Subaru reflected on it and realized that his decision to both investigate the anomaly and become a diner was indeed suspicious.

If a guest is wandering around someone's house investigating, wouldn't he be the most suspicious person?

So, even if we don't consider anything else, I'm going to stay at the mansion to work this time!

"I have only one wish: to be allowed to stay and work in this mansion!"

What followed was very similar to what had happened before.

The job mainly involves peeling vegetables, cleaning the bathroom, washing clothes, and pruning plants.

When Subaru Natsuki is working, Ram is almost always by his side, working alongside him.

I wonder if they're worried that Subaru Natsuki will slack off.

This time, Natsuki Subaru was able to complete almost all of his tasks properly.

You won't hurt your fingers when peeling skin, your hands won't become red and swollen when washing clothes, you won't slip while cleaning the bathroom, and you won't hurt your hands when pruning plants.

He appears to have a wealth of work experience and performs his work in a very professional manner.

"To survive a week at Roswaal's mansion, two conditions are necessary..."

Natsuki Subaru analyzed.

"The first thing is to gain the trust of the people in the mansion."

"If we can't gain complete trust, things won't go smoothly, and we might even be silenced by murder..."

"This refers not only to Ram and Rem, but also to Roswaal, the owner of this mansion."

Subaru Natsuki clearly remembered that Roswaal didn't actually trust him either.

Otherwise, Roswaal wouldn't have acted so readily last time.

"There's a second one..."

"Just kill the curse master who attacked the mansion!"
