Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活)

I don't know that ceiling.

The wound on my stomach is gone.

Considering all this, it must've been her...

Emilia's healing power, huh?

Well, at any rate, it seems I got out of using Return by Death this time...

Still, isn't it normal to wake up and see a girl by your bed

asking, "Are you awake?" after she'd cared for you the whole time?

Feels kinda flawed, for a story about being summoned into another world.

A looping hallway...

Is this one of those things where I can't get out until I find the right room?

The typical pattern dictates that the first door is likely the goal!

What a profoundly aggravating man you are, I suppose.

First NPC found!

You're gonna ruin your cute face with that cold attitude.

Come on, smile! Smile!

The only smile worth giving you is a derisive sneer.

Are you mad because I guessed it right on the first try?

I've always been a pretty lucky guesser.

I can understand why game masters would want me in all the events, but sorry!

So, what is this place, anyway?

Hmph! It's Betty's multi-purpose room,

which serves as a library and bedroom, I suppose.

Talk about your token response.

Are you one of the manual girls everyone's into now?

Betty has had just about enough.

Time to teach you a lesson, I suppose.

Hey, what are you gonna do?

Don't you dare move.

Anything you'd like to say?

D-Don't hurt me.

What did you do to me, you drill loli?

I only collected the mana from your body, I suppose.

It confirmed that you are not an enemy.

You're not human, are you?

And I don't mean your personality...

It took you long enough to notice, I suppose.

I take it back. Your personality isn't human, either.

Do not measure a proud, noble being by your standards, human.

I'm lost, trapped in my own past

Telling myself that it's not true

And that I don't really know if I can control it all at will

The sky is growing hazy

Where is the right answer?

The only precious thing left in my hands

Is a memory I'll never forget

I shout over and over that I'll protect you to the end

The love that I've grasped in the midst of all this rewinding

I'll never let it go

My scattered feelings become a wish I can only make once

So I entrust it to the next incarnation of me

The promise we once made will be my guiding light

I'll make this vow for you, until the very end

And by turning even my tears into strength, I'll reach my desired future

I know that ceiling.

Oh, he has awakened, Sister.

Indeed, he's awakened, Rem.

Me, a denizen of the night, waking up in the morning?

I'm getting all emotional.

I'd better go to sleep a second time...

No, I woke up earlier, so this makes the third.

My, what a deadbeat thing to say.

Did you hear that, Sister?

Yes, truly the words of a loser. I heard him, Rem.

All right!

Who are these two voices that keep criticizing me in stereo?!

N-No way...

Maid costumes exist in this world, too?!

Maids were always the very personification of elegance in my mind...

This ain't so bad, either!

How terrible. You are being violated in the mind of our guest, Sister.

It is terrible. You're experiencing the ultimate shame in the mind of our guest, Rem.

Don't underestimate my capacity.

You're both fair prey in my fantasies!

Can't you wake up more peacefully, Subaru?

Whoever picked that outfit totally gets it!

I don't know what you're talking about,

but the fact that I know it's something stupid is disappointing.

Listen to this, Emilia-sama.

My dear sister was just violated by that man.

Please listen to this, Emilia-sama.

Rem was held prisoner and shamed by that man.

And you two, don't tease him too much.

Yes, Emilia-sama. My sister is very sorry.

Yes, Emilia-sama. Rem's sorry, as well.

Subaru, are you feeling all right?

Does anything feel off?

Huh? Oh, I'm just a bit groggy from oversleeping.

It was you who saved me, wasn't it, Emilia-tan?

Huh? "Tan"?

What does "tan" mean?

Uh, you can just ignore that one.

Seriously, though, thanks. You saved me.

No, I'm the one who should thank you.

You barely know me, but you risked your life to save me.

It's only natural I'd heal your wounds after that.

Well, then, once again,

I guess it's time to start a new day!

This place really is huge...

The yard isn't so much a yard as a field.

Those are unusual movements. What are you doing?

My homeland's ancient practice of warm-up exercises.

Come on, Emilia-tan, join me!

Radio calisthenics, number 2!

Bounce on both feet to loosen up your body!

Huh? You're kidding! What is that?

Just do what I do.

I'll drill the essence of radio calisthenics into you!

Now, raise both arms and shout, "Victory!"

V-Victory!

Victory! Victory!

Victory!

Hi, Subaru! Great morning, isn't it?

Well, for me, it's been nothing but chaos since the wee hours of the morning.

Looping hallways and a mean little girl on a rampage...

And then, shedding the sweat of passion with Emilia-tan.

Don't make it sound so scandalous!

Good morning, Puck.

Sorry I put you through so much yesterday.

Morning, Lia. I almost lost you yesterday.

I can never thank Subaru enough.

I must do something for him.

Okay, then...

Let me pet your fur whenever I want!

Huh? That's all?

For a first-rate fur master such as myself,

being able to love on the object of your petting affections at any time

is worth just as much as a multimillionaire's riches!

Oh, man, these ears!

I'm in love with how soft you are!

I know you feel that way since I can somewhat read your mind,

but I'm amazed you can actually say it!

It's okay, Lia.

I can't find any malice, hostility, or ill-intent in Subaru.

It's so cute how you call her "Lia," too.

Not as cute as your "Emilia-tan"!

You really are strange, Subaru.

Huh?

Oh? What brings you two here?

Emilia-sama.

Our lord, Roswaal-sama, has returned.

Please come inside.

I was watching you from upstairs, and you know what?

It would seem you are quite dumb, I suppose.

Where do you get off saying that, you loli?!

What does that word mean?

I've never even heard it before, and it irritates me.

Hey, Betty. Haven't seen you in four days.

Have you been doing well and staying ladylike?

Bubby!

I've been waiting for you to come home!

Will you stay with me today, do you suppose?

Sure, no problem.

Let's finally relax together today.

Yay!

Bewildered, aren't you?

Beatrice is so taken with Puck.

Who even says "bewildered" nowadays?

My, my! How unusual to see you here, Beatrice!

I'm so happy you've decided to dine with me.

That boy is more than enough addle-brained fool for me, I suppose.

Betty was only waiting for Bubby!

You guys hired a clown to entertain you before each meal?

I'll never understand how rich folks think.

Um, Subaru, that man is...

Oh, no, it's quite all right, Emilia-sama.

What's going on?

Only that I am the lord of this manor, Roswaal L. Mathers,

Natsuki Subaru-kun.

This is way better than normal food!

Despite her appearance, Rem's cooking is quite impressive.

So this was cooked by the one with blue hair... um... Rem-chan, right?

You made this?

Yes, sir.

I do the cooking in this house.

My sister is not very good at cooking.

Ah, twins who are good at different things!

Is your sister good at cleaning, then?

Yes, that is correct.

My sister excels at housework, especially cleaning and laundry.

So, Rem-rin, you're good at cooking, but bad at cleaning and laundry?

No, I am generally good at all household tasks.

I am also better at cleaning and laundry than my sister.

Does your sister even have a purpose?!

You are truly a strange young man.

You come to the mansion of Margrave Mathers, in the Kingdom of Lugunica,

and you say you don't understand a thing.

Is something bad happening in this country?

Well, it is not in an agreeable state.

After all, Lugunica's king is currently not present.

No, there's no need to be concerned...

Everyone is quite aware of the reality already.

Really?

I expected a "Now that you know my secret, I can't let you leave here alive" thing.

Around the same time the king went into hiding,

an epidemic began to spread throughout the castle.

The king and his children are the last of his line.

The nation is currently being managed by a council of wise men,

and they are now in the process of selecting a new king.

I see. I'm starting to get the picture.

On top of the king's absence, the royal selection is causing confusion in the kingdom.
