Re:Zero - Starting from Zero (Natsuki Subaru)

Merry, who was lying quietly, twitched her eyelashes slightly.

"Should we continue pretending?"

"Oh well, never mind."

"You've slept for so long, aren't you hungry or thirsty at all?"

Otto picked up the dish Ram had made and placed it near Meryl's nose, causing Meryl's nose to twitch involuntarily.

"Gurgle~"

Mary's stomach growled a few times, much to her dismay.

"I've left your food here."

"Since you still don't want to wake up, then you don't need to answer what I'm saying. Just listen."

"You should have seen the fate of the two bishops who committed the heinous sin of gluttony today."

"If anyone dares to have any bad intentions towards Natsuki Subaru, or tries to use or harm him..."

Then I guarantee that no matter who that person is or how powerful they are, their fate will be even worse than that of the Archbishop of Gluttony.

"Natsuki Subaru is the most important person to everyone."

"The reason Mr. Natsuki kept you, who was once his enemy, by his side was because he treated you fairly well when he imprisoned you..."

"Besides your abilities as a Beast Tamer, Mr. Natsuki doesn't want to see you sink deeper and deeper into a wrong path."

"I don't know what Natsuki-san said to you."

"But... no matter what, please believe in Mr. Natsuki, please don't think about hurting Mr. Natsuki, and don't let down Mr. Natsuki's kindness towards you."

"Otherwise... people might lose their minds."

"This is not a threat... just a piece of advice."

"Alright, I should go now."

"As for what to do next... just follow your heart."

After leaving those words for Mary, Otto didn't linger and left the green room immediately.

Patrashu, who was still awake in the green room, tilted his head and looked at Otto's back.

……

After confirming that Otto had left, Merry slowly got up.

"What's wrong with that person? It seems like nothing can be hidden from him?"

"Meli muttered to herself, while also realizing that Otto was indeed no ordinary person."

Mary's stomach rumbled.

Mary touched her stomach, looked at the food placed to the side, and still chose to eat and drink everything clean.

Otto's words kept echoing in Meryl's mind.

Meili also began to think.

He wasn't just thinking about Otto's words, but also about what Subaru Natsuki had said that day.

"Can I absolutely trust him...?"

Mei smiled helplessly: "Big brother really is..."

……

Early the next morning.

Everyone tacitly gathered at the restaurant, waiting for the new images to be displayed on the sky screen.

To everyone's surprise,

Mary, who had been severely injured by the jealous witch Satella, also came to the restaurant.

Emilia covered her mouth in surprise.

"Merry? Are you alright? Have you fully recovered?"

Meryl smiled and said, "Yes, everything is alright now."

The others who had gathered at the restaurant looked at Meryl with surprise in their eyes, but didn't say anything.

Otto stood in the corner, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Natsuki Subaru was the last person to arrive at the restaurant, after all, he had gone to bed so late the night before.

Subaru Natsuki naturally wanted to sleep a little longer.

"Oh? Is everyone here? Looks like I'm late? Sorry, good morning everyone."

"Good morning!" everyone said.

Once Subaru Natsuki was seated at the dining table, everyone began to enjoy breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Ram and Rem cleaned up the dishes, and just then the canopy appeared.

Good morning, everyone!

[A new day definitely calls for even more exciting content!]

Oh, by the way, just so you know, a new person joined the chat room today!

[New member added to chat room!]

【Sloth·Nazuki Subaru! 】

[Arrogant Subaru Natsuki! 】

【Desire · Natsuki Subaru! 】

Please get ready!

Natsuki Subaru pursed his lips, blinking blankly, "Huh? What's going on? Are there so many of me?"

Otto analyzed the situation for a moment and then gently shook his head.

"Mr. Natsuki, this should be the same as the Gluttonous Natsuki Subaru that Skyfall previously announced."

"You are someone who makes different choices at different junctures, thus creating different worldlines."

"How should I put it? Don't worry too much about it, because these people are both you and not you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Natsuki."

Listening to Otto's analysis, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and once again marveled at the power of the Sky Curtain.

I thought finding one or two Natsuki Subaru from different timelines was the limit, but now it seems that it is far from the limit of the sky.

The sky curtain.

Natsuki Subaru wakes up in an unfamiliar room after a long sleep. He vaguely hears Rem and Beatrice talking while they are asleep.

It was less of a conversation and more of an argument.

Rem seems to be insisting on rescuing him?

When Natsuki Subaru woke up, he was shocked to find that he had survived being torn apart by so many monsters.

Afterwards, Natsuki Subaru saw Emilia sleeping on a stool to the side.

Parker appeared.

Good morning, Subaru!

Puck briefly explained to Subaru Natsuki's condition since he fell into a coma.

Simply put, the reason he didn't die in that previous situation was...

It was also because Rem risked her life to save Subaru Natsuki.

Just as Subaru was worried about Rem's injury, Puck added a comment.

"However, because of her demonic transformation, the blue-haired maid had no obvious external injuries when she returned."

Natsuki Subaru lay back down: "Seriously, don't scare me."

Natsuki Subaru was also worried about the curse on those children.

Puck reassured Subaru that the children's curse had been lifted by him and Beatrice.

Natsuki Subaru turned to look at Emilia, who was sleeping against a pillar.

"Did Emilia stay up all night to treat me?"

"That's right, and Leah's consumption was much greater than expected, even depleting her soul power."

My body, which has just recovered from serious injuries, is more fragile than I imagined.

Natsuki Subaru got up and went out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I encountered Ram carrying a large bowl of freshly cooked sweet potatoes.

Although Ram was still sharp-tongued, she still gave Subaru Natsuki some sweet potatoes to eat.

After that, Lamu went to distribute sweet potatoes to the other villagers.

Natsuki Subaru realized from Ram's words that he seemed to have really done something remarkable.

Natsuki Subaru then went to visit the children who had just been freed from the curse and were still resting.

After visiting the children, Subaru Natsuki met Beatrice.

"Ah, Beatrice, I heard it was you and Parker who helped lift the children's curse. Thank you!"

"Hmph, it's nothing, it's just my brother's request."

Beatrice silently led Subaru Natsuki to a secluded place.

Beatrice's expression was serious: "You'll die in half a day."

Natsuki Subaru wasn't particularly surprised, but his expression turned slightly grim.

Beatrice was somewhat surprised.

"You don't seem scared at all. I thought you would be crying your eyes out."

Because there were so many curses accumulated in the forest, even Beatrice couldn't remove them.

"Then please tell me the solution. I don't believe you're the kind of malicious person who would deliberately announce my time of death."

Beatrice's eyebrows twitched slightly as she realized she had been seen through.

"And what do you know about Betty?"

Beatrice didn't keep them in suspense and revealed the solution.

"The only way to break the curse is to kill all those guys, but the chances of that are very slim."

Natsuki Subaru instantly remembered what Rem had said while he was unconscious.

"I will definitely save you."

Subaru Natsuki's expression changed instantly.

"Could it be...?"

Natsuki Subaru placed his hand on Beatrice's shoulder and asked anxiously, "Where's Rem?"

"If you were in the same position, what would you do?" Beatrice countered.

Natsuki Subaru's unease grew stronger.
