Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Emilia was so kind, so gentle...

Natsuki Subaru smiled, reaffirming his resolve once again.

……

Day two.

Natsuki Subaru was excitedly shouting and yelling early in the morning.

Rather than being full of energy and spirit.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Subaru Natsuki is currently somewhat excited.

After Natsuki Subaru chatted with Emilia and Puck...

Although they were supposed to be chatting, it was actually Natsuki Subaru who did most of the talking.

"Oh, never mind! If I get back late, the maids will be angry!"

After Natsuki Subaru left.

Emilia watched Natsuki Subaru's departing figure with a worried expression.

"Lia, what's wrong? You look like you can't let it go."

Parker asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either, I just feel a tightness in my chest, I can't quite describe it..."

Emilia placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heartbeat, unsure of what was causing this inexplicable emotion within her.

"Yeah, that's normal, isn't it, Lydia? After all, Subaru is like that now..."

"What's wrong with him?"

Subaru's mind is in a mess right now.

"It's a complete mess, both inside and out."

While working, Natsuki Subaru accidentally broke a vase.

The sound of the vase shattering instantly alerted Rem. She turned her head to look and saw Subaru Natsuki scratching his head and talking nonchalantly.

"It's alright, it's alright, don't worry!! Don't fret, I'll get it sorted out right away, and I won't let anyone get hurt!!!"

Natsuki Subaru quickly began cleaning up the broken pieces of the vase.

Rem remained on guard.

"Although I think you meant well, Subaru was the one who broke the vase, wasn't he?"

Rem turned around and was about to get a replacement vase.

However, Subaru Natsuki, who had just been cleaning up the broken pieces of the vase, blocked Rem's way.

"No, no need for you!! I'll take care of changing the vase and looking after the flowers!!"

Natsuki Subaru easily found the place where the vase was, brought out a new vase, and put the flowers in it.

Did you do a good job? No problems? There shouldn't be any problems.

Natsuki Subaru let out a dramatic sigh of relief, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's so satisfying to work on a project with Remlin!"

Rem's eyes grew increasingly suspicious.

"Although it's an unnecessary increase in my workload..."

"But how did you know where you put the vase?"

Natsuki Subaru's heart skipped a beat.

After that, Natsuki Subaru quickly tried to make amends for himself.

"Hmm... I asked my sister! After all, it's my job, she'll definitely say, 'You're going to break the vase.'" Natsuki Subaru even imitated Ram's tone.

"Just in case, I'll tell you where to put the vase first!" Natsuki Subaru said in a high-pitched voice.

Rem's eyes grew increasingly hostile.

Just as Rem was about to ask something, Subaru Natsuki scratched his head and smiled, then looked at a watch that wasn't actually on his wrist.

"Oh no, I forgot about the work Ram personally assigned me!"

"I need to take care of this first, we'll meet up later!!"

Subaru Natsuki is too abnormal.

Subaru Natsuki is too strange.

He was unusually excited.

No, compared to excitement, it's more like... a feeling that's hard to describe.

It felt more like... like I was going crazy.

When Subaru Natsuki went to help Lum with her work, he acted with the same kind of excitement.

"How disgusting."

This is what Natsuki Subaru was thinking.

Subaru Natsuki smiled as he showed Rem a Puck embroidered pattern on his clothes.

"How disgusting, how disgusting, how disgusting."

This is what Natsuki Subaru was thinking.

While cleaning, he saw Emilia again and greeted her in an extremely exaggerated manner.

"So disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting."

I should have smiled more naturally.

I should make them laugh more.

My performance was not good enough.

We absolutely cannot fail this time; not a single second can be wasted.

We can't waste this opportunity. We need to work hard, gain their trust, and produce results!

This is what Natsuki Subaru was thinking when he was alone.

……

Wilhelm looked distressed and sighed deeply.

Wilhelm: Lord Subaru, you've carried too much, too much alone, putting too much pressure on yourself.

Wilhelm: If things continue like this, Lord Subaru will go crazy sooner or later.

Wilhelm, as a sword demon, has seen a lot in his life.

But I've never actually seen someone like Subaru Natsuki.

I've reached my limit, I'm almost going crazy, I'm terrified, but I'm still forcing myself, still pushing myself, still forcing myself.

It's not about seeking fame, fortune, or status for oneself.

Instead, it's about saving others and changing their destinies.

Wilhelm couldn't help but sigh.

Wilhelm: What arrogance... This is arrogance that puts one above the world...

[Wilheim: At that time, even though Subaru was already at his limit and almost went crazy, how could he still manage to always consider others?]

[Wilheim: Why consider everything for those who are completely unaware, or even for those who have hurt you before, but never for yourself?]

Priscilla had never truly become angry while gazing at the sky, but this time she was enraged.

"How stupid!!!"

Priscilla: Foolish and arrogant! I have never seen such a person! A person who never puts his own feelings first!

He wanted to save everyone, to defy fate, but among those he wanted to save was not himself!

How arrogant! How foolish! Are you a slave living for others?!

Priscilla's anger wasn't genuinely directed at Subaru Natsuki; rather, it stemmed more from a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Crusch sighed.

"Even now, I still can't believe that there are actually people like this in the world."

Crusch: Everything Subaru Natsuki has done for others has completely violated biological instincts...

Crusch: Although I don't support this arrogant value system that wants to change everyone's fate...

However, Natsuki Subaru is undoubtedly a respectable man who is able to give everything for his determination and move forward without ever giving up.

Subaru Natsuki is amazing.

This kind of person is so good that others can't stand his behavior.

They all disapproved of Subaru Natsuki's behavior of not valuing himself and only thinking about others.

Reinhardt gave a sad look.

[Reinhard: Everyone, I know you're all thinking of Subaru's best interests, but Subaru truly had no other choice at the time.]

[Reinhard: At that time, Subaru had no way to tell others everything he knew and experienced, and could only bear it all alone.]

[Reinhard: Unable to truly confide in anyone, unable to be truly understood by anyone, Subaru made the best choice he could at the time.]

[Reinhard: While I understand everyone's frustration, I don't want anyone to blame Subaru for being helpless and alone back then.]
