Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Felt tackled Subaru Natsuki.

The spot where Natsuki Subaru was standing was slashed by the beautiful woman Elsa with her sword.

If it weren't for Felt, Subaru Natsuki would have died here.

Without hesitation, Mr. Rom grabbed the giant club and charged forward, only to miss.

Rom's attacks were fierce, but he never hit Elsa.

Felt forced a smile: "It's alright, Rom is very strong."

next second.

"laugh--!"

Elsa slashed at Rom's arm with her knife, severing Rom's entire forearm!

Knowing he was no match for the woman before him, Rom, who had lost an arm, immediately charged forward, intending to take her down with him.

However, the woman held the glass of milk she had just drunk from to Rom's neck.

"laugh!"

Fresh blood kept gushing out.

Grandpa Rom uncontrollably coughed up a mouthful of blood, then collapsed backward, his life force waning.

Felt, her face splattered with Rom's blood, was filled with despair and rage.

"How dare you..."

Elsa maintained her composed smile: "It seems you have a lot of courage."

"Are you kidding me? Even if I don't fight back, you're going to kill us anyway! You damn madman!!"

"Sorry for dragging you into this."

After leaving Subaru Natsuki with those words, Felt angrily charged forward.

"The blessing of the wind? How enviable."

The two exchanged only one move before Elsa killed Felt with a single blow.

Blood splattered on the walls of the small shop, and the whole shop was filled with the smell of blood.

"The old man and the little girl are both dead. What are you going to do?"

Elsa's gaze fell on Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru knew that they were now in a desperate situation. Running away? He would probably be hacked to death the moment he took a step.

Instead of running, let's fight!

Natsuki Subaru, his fist trembling, charged at Elsa, only to be knocked back by a single punch, as expected.

Natsuki Subaru stood up and wiped the blood from his nose.

Natsuki Subaru looked at the knife in the woman's hand and suddenly thought of his own dreamlike death.

abdomen.

Natsuki Subaru realized that this woman was likely to attack his abdomen!

Elsa charged toward Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru kicked off and dodged backward.

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out just a few dozen centimeters in front of Subaru Natsuki, only a few dozen centimeters from his abdomen.

Elsa's attack target was definitely her abdomen!!

Subaru Natsuki quickly turned around and kicked Elsa, sending her staggering back a few steps.

Just as hope was rekindling in Natsuki Subaru's heart, he felt a warm sensation in his abdomen once again.

Natsuki Subaru looked down in disbelief at the wound, which, just like last time, was incredibly deep, almost spilling out his intestines.

"Surprised? Just as you turned around and kicked me as I brushed past you, I cut open your stomach."

Elsa laughed, and her laughter was so chilling.

Natsuki Subaru clutched his abdomen and collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely.

The beautiful woman approached, her face flushed, and she spoke with a smile.

"I knew it! I knew your intestines would be a beautiful color..."

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Natsuki Subaru only had this one feeling.

The pain was so intense that I couldn't even utter a single word.

Countless fragments of memories would surface in Natsuki Subaru's mind.

Those fragments of memory flashed by at times, and at other times materialized into the face of the woman in front of him with a chilling smile.

Death may not be such a terrifying thing.

But facing death and waiting for the Grim Reaper to arrive, whether it is physical pain or mental anguish, torments one to the point of near collapse.

Feeling my life force slowly slipping away, feeling death drawing ever closer.

Natsuki Subaru felt nothing but despair, collapse, and fear.

The most extreme fear.

No one can remain calm in a time like this.

"Am I going to die?? When??"

"I'm so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared..."

"I am dead."
