Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Looking at the discussions in the chat room.

The people inside the Tower of Sages fell silent.

Arrogant?

Indeed, Subaru Natsuki has always been arrogant.

……

It was only then that Rem realized that people can't even understand their past selves.

Ghosts are the same.

Rem dares to say that if her past self and her present self stood together, they would definitely fight over Natsuki Subaru.

Rem looked at her past self and saw the hostile look in her eyes when she looked at Subaru Natsuki.

Rem couldn't help but cast a gloomy glance at herself in the light screen.

"No one can hurt Subaru, not a single person, not even myself!"

Rem recalled Subaru's experience that she had previously immersed herself in through the sky.

The extreme pain and loneliness are so intense that once you experience them, you just want to run away as far away as possible.

However, Natsuki Subaru faced that pain head-on; he was truly such a great and powerful hero.

Rem cannot tolerate anyone being hostile towards Subaru Natsuki, and she cannot allow anyone to want to harm Subaru Natsuki.

Rem's demeanor became somewhat heavy.

Subaru Natsuki's lips twitched slightly.

It should be fine, right?

Speaking of which, when exactly did Rem's aura become so heavy?

Emilia gritted her teeth slightly.

So that's how it was back then.

Emilia didn't actually fully understand Subaru's pain at the time.

Only now, after seeing all of this from Subaru Natsuki's perspective, is she able to fully understand.

"I'm sorry... Subaru... You've been working so hard all this time."

Natsuki Subaru chuckled and scratched his head: "Saying sorry many times isn't as satisfying as saying thank you!"

"You said it yourself, Emilia."

Emilia chuckled softly as she looked at Subaru Natsuki's smile.

"Thank you."

Natsuki Subaru stared blankly at Emilia as she thanked him.

Emilia's smile, her flowing hair... everything was so beautiful.

Natsuki Subaru instantly understood why he had fallen into this trap called Emilia.

"Emilia-tan..." Natsuki Subaru said awkwardly, giving an embarrassed smile.

"Really, really, really, thank you so much," Emilia added in a very soft voice.

Subaru Natsuki's constant squirming in his chair annoyed Beatrice, who was sitting on his lap.

"Hey! You idiot! Think about Betty sitting on your lap! I'm about to fall off!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

"Hmph! Honestly, Betty didn't ask you to apologize."

Beatrice gave a faint smile.

"Although it was very painful, difficult, and lonely..."

"But...that's all in the past...Betty doesn't deny Subaru's past suffering..."

"But now... at least now... Subaru is happy... right?"

"Don't worry... Subaru... Betty will always be with you... Betty will never let you go through the pain you went through before again."

Rem nodded and sniffed Subaru's unique scent once more.

"Rem too... I will never let you go through the pain you suffered before again..."

"I'd do anything for Subaru to be happy..."

"As long as Subaru is happy... I don't care if anyone else is suffering..."

Although Emilia agreed with Beatrice and Rem's points of view, however...

Emilia's lips twitched slightly: "While I understand Rem's feelings for Subaru, isn't this a bit extreme...?"

[Haha...]

"who!?"

Hearing the sudden, mechanical laughter, Rem instinctively became wary.

The next second, everyone realized that the laughter was coming from the sky.

What's wrong with this screen? Why is it not playing the video properly and then suddenly laughing?

I'm so sorry, I've ruined everyone's viewing experience and startled you.

I'm professionally trained and usually don't burst out laughing, but this time I genuinely couldn't hold it in...

Don't mind me, just keep watching...

The mechanical sounds from the sky were somewhat distorted, like the feeling of someone pinching their thigh to suppress laughter.

No one understood why Tianmu suddenly laughed for no reason, and the explanation was just as inexplicable.

Within the Tower of Sages, only one person realized that something was amiss.

Otto stroked his chin, his eyes unconsciously glancing at Emilia.

Everyone can now see the change in Rem.

How should I put it? It's become somewhat terrifying?

It's not exactly terrifying, but she's become even more dependent on Subaru Natsuki.

And it seems that in Rem's eyes, besides Ram, Subaru is everything.

Even Rem can say extreme things like, "As long as Subaru is happy, it doesn't matter who is suffering."

Just as Emilia made that comment, Tianmu couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

As the person with the highest IQ present.

Otto had reasonable doubts and made bold guesses.

Could it be that Emilia will become like Rem later on?

This is just a dangerous guess, and Otto hopes it is wrong.

After all, Rem's current state means she won't hurt anyone, especially Subaru Natsuki.

But the terrifying aura it constantly exudes is truly suffocating.

Otto wiped away his cold sweat.

The group continued watching the images projected on the screen.

……

Subaru Natsuki's thoughts were almost like brainwashing himself, forcing himself not to go crazy, because he still had a mission.

Just then, Ram suddenly appeared behind Subaru Natsuki.

"Dear Ram, I'm not slacking off!"

"Just leave all the work to me, and you can even go back to your room for a nap!"

……

Under intense mental pressure, Subaru Natsuki reached his limit, both mentally and physically.

Subaru Natsuki vomited.

It seemed as if they wanted to vomit out all the pain.

"Damn, that's so lame!"

"There's no time for me to waste now!"

Natsuki Subaru wiped his mouth, looked up at the mirror in front of him, and saw that he looked so tired.

Natsuki Subaru walked out of the bathroom and found Emilia standing outside.

Emilia's eyes held a complex expression: "Subaru."

Natsuki Subaru forced himself to cheer up.

"Emilia Carbon!!"

Subaru, come with me.

"How wonderful! Emilia specifically asked for me!"

"Seriously, I feel happy, shy, and it's rare!!"

Natsuki Subaru seemed to be expressing his inner joy by making a series of poses.

"Please feel free to ask if you need anything!"

The more Subaru Natsuki acted this way, the more worried Emilia became.

"Pleiades……"

Emilia couldn't just ignore Subaru Natsuki's state.

"Okay, follow me!"

Emilia grabbed Natsuki Subaru's sleeve and pulled him into the room.

Emilia made Subaru Natsuki sit on the floor of the room.

Natsuki Subaru was a little confused. If he had to sit, wouldn't it be better to sit on the bed or a chair?

However, Natsuki Subaru did as instructed.

Emilia watched as Subaru Natsuki sat on the floor, and then knelt down beside him.

Natsuki Subaru stared blankly at Emilia.

Emilia didn't speak, her face slightly flushed, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke.

"This time is special."

Emilia gently placed her hand on Subaru Natsuki's head.

Then, with a slight exertion, Natsuki Subaru, caught off guard, lay directly on Emilia's lap.

What is this? A lap pillow?
