Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

The sky curtain.

Rem's combat power was stronger than expected; she killed two monsters that tried to ambush her with her flail in just two moves.

However, Rem is the only real fighter, while the number of monsters is simply too large.

Rem realized that they were outnumbered and that things couldn't continue like this.

Subaru and Rem could only fight off the monsters while searching for a way out.

Natsuki Subaru scooped up the unconscious purple-haired girl as quickly as possible and went to Rem's side.

"Over there!" Natsuki Subaru shouted.

Upon hearing the sound, Rem used her flail to strike the location of the monster horde, creating a cloud of dust and giving Subaru a chance to escape.

Natsuki Subaru ran forward with the purple-haired little girl.

Rem was responsible for providing cover, following at the very back.

Once the two of them pass through the barrier, the demon will be powerless against them.

The two ran for an unknown amount of time before Natsuki Subaru finally saw the lights of a village ahead, and his eyes lit up.

"Rem, I can see the firelight in the village!!!"

Subaru Natsuki turned to look at Rem.

When he turned around, Subaru Natsuki was completely stunned.

At this moment, Rem was almost covered in blood!

Rem is injured??

Yes, Rem has been the one dealing with the monster attacks all along...

Subaru Natsuki didn't have time to think much.

In the distance, there was the bald little dog that had bitten Subaru earlier.

At that moment, Subaru was casting a spell with bloodshot eyes, causing the ground to tremble and countless pebbles to rush towards Natsuki Subaru and Rem like a mudslide.

Subaru Natsuki's expression turned extremely ugly.

Rem reacted even faster than Subaru, pushing him away before a large amount of rubble could approach him.

Rem was thrown aside by the impact of a large amount of rubble!

Natsuki Subaru stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his face ashen as if he had swallowed a fly.

Countless menacing demons were all around.

Rem was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Natsuki Subaru really didn't know what to do next, and he really didn't know how to break out of this deadlock.

Am I going to die?

Is death about to return again?

After dying this time, when will I wake up?

Back in the mansion, before Ram and Rem knew me?

Or……

Subaru Natsuki's mind wandered uncontrollably.

Just then, the sound of chains came from beside Natsuki Subaru, and Natsuki Subaru subconsciously looked at Rem.

Rem stood up at some point, and a demon horn was slowly growing from her forehead.

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha!"

Rem looked completely insane at this moment, unlike the calm maid she had been before.

Rem laughed maniacally, still able to swing his meteor hammer and frantically attack the nearby monsters despite his severe injuries.

"Warcraft! Warcraft! Warcraft! Warcraft! Warcraft! Warcraft!!! Witch!!"

Rem's fighting style at this moment was absolutely breathtaking.

Wherever Rem went, no monster escaped unscathed. They were either blown apart in the head by his flail or had their abdomens smashed open by it, each death more gruesome than the last.

Subaru Natsuki's pupils trembled.

to be frank.

It seems that Natsuki Subaru's worldview has been constantly being refreshed ever since he arrived at the mansion.

What else is Rem hiding?

"ghost."

Subaru Natsuki only realized it at this moment.

Rem is a demon.

It was a ghost from legends that didn't exist in the world he originally lived in.

In a bloodthirsty frenzy, Rem's attention was drawn to the bald little dog in the distance that was controlling other magical beasts.

Just then, several magical beasts suddenly rushed out from Rem's side, and it looked like Rem was about to be ambushed.

Natsuki Subaru immediately put down the purple-haired little girl and rushed towards Rem.

Natsuki Subaru shoved Rem, who was about to be torn apart by the monster, out of the way!

Rem's eyes cleared after she saw Subaru's worried and anxious expression, and she even reverted to her demon form.

Rem fell to the ground with a thud, but was not seriously injured.

Subaru Natsuki himself was being torn apart by monsters in place of Rem.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Natsuki Subaru screamed in agony.

Rem didn't have time to think. She reacted instantly and used her flail to kill the monster that was tearing at Subaru Natsuki.

Rem immediately went to Subaru Natsuki's side.

Her eyes were very complicated.

Among them were confusion, guilt, self-blame, worry, and panic.

"Subaru? Don't die!"

Rem panicked completely when she saw Subaru Natsuki fall unconscious.

"Don't die! Don't die! Don't die!!!!"

……

Inside the Tower of Sages, Ram frowned slightly and lowered his gaze.

Ram suddenly thought of a question.

Why?

Barus's development in previous deaths and returns varied in many ways.

But why is this time so different from the previous deaths and returns?

Just as Barus realized that there were sorcerers in the village, Lord Roswaal chose to go out.

However, judging from the previous returns from death...

At that time, Lord Roswaal did not have any troublesome people to meet.

Although Ram didn't want to be like this, he couldn't help but start to doubt Lord Roswaal.

Lord Roswaal is indeed highly suspicious.

That's not all.

Looking back on many of the things that happened before, I can tell that Lord Roswaal was problematic.

Ram considered the worst-case scenario.

Could it be that Lord Roswaal was behind all of this?

Ram really didn't want to believe this possibility.

However, as things stand, the suspicion surrounding Roswaal cannot be denied.

Beatrice saw the inner turmoil in Ram's mind and let out a soft sigh.

"Hmph, Ram, sometimes you shouldn't trust others too much, and you shouldn't let your one-sided feelings for someone blind you."

"Ram, wake up. Stop deceiving yourself at a time like this."

"Don't let Subaru down, don't let Subaru down again!"

Beatrice said this as both a reminder and a warning.

"Lady Beatrice..."

Ram lowered his head in silence.

A hint of nostalgia first appeared in Rem's eyes.

It was from that moment that Subaru became Rem's hero.

However, Rem, seeing Ram's expression, suddenly felt a little nervous: "Onee-sama? Are you alright?"

Rem didn't understand what Ram and Lady Beatrice were saying; it was as if the two of them were on a separate channel.

Emilia didn't understand either, but she still managed a forced smile.

"Everyone, please don't do this."

"Subaru certainly wouldn't want to see everyone unhappy, right?"

As the protagonist, Natsuki Subaru always felt fragments of memories flickering in his mind.

After regaining his senses, Natsuki Subaru realized that everyone was looking at him.

Natsuki Subaru blinked blankly: "Uh? Yeah, uh, yes."

Otto smiled wryly: "Looks like Mr. Natsuki isn't listening..."
