Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Natsuki Subaru took a step forward.

Ram seemed to have made a huge decision, reaching out to stuff a piece of paper, already soaked with sweat from his palm, into Subaru Natsuki's hand.

Then she suddenly turned around and quickly walked away from him.

It was a piece of paper that Ram tore from the mansion's ledger after Capella left, with a few lines of writing trembling on it.

Rem is that blue butterfly.

The current Rem and Lord Roswaal are both imposters.

Don't believe them.

[Immediately take Lady Emilia and Rem and leave the mansion.]

After finishing writing, Ram hesitated about whether or not to hand the paper to Subaru Natsuki.

She didn't know if Capella could really kill Rem from a distance, nor did she know where the real Lord Roswaal was.

Handing over the note might kill the two people most important to her.

But if they do nothing, Subaru and Emilia will walk into the trap without any warning.

In the end, Subaru Natsuki's concern made her make a decision...

Even if they submit to that fake Rem, they will probably all die in the end.

It would be better to let Subaru Natsuki leave with Emilia and Rem right now!

Before leaving, Ram took one last deep look at the blue butterfly on her shoulder.

The butterfly seemed to sense something and responded by fluttering its wings.

Natsuki Subaru stood there, clutching the note, watching Ram's figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

Natsuki Subaru lowered his head and unfolded the note.

There were a few lines of text written on the paper.

He stared at it for a long time, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, until finally he could only sigh helplessly.

He could understand the language of this world without any problems and communicate normally with the people here, but the writing system used in this world was completely different from the writing system he knew.

"Unfortunately, I, Natsuki Subaru, am also illiterate."

"Never mind, I'll ask Emilia again tomorrow morning."

He carefully put the note away and glanced again in the direction Ram had left.

He suddenly realized today that even after living in this mansion for so many days, he still seemed to know nothing about these people.

I don't know why Betty is guarding a blank book.

I don't know why Rem suddenly became cold.

I don't know why Ram suddenly burst into tears.

"Unfortunately, a week is still too short."

Subaru Natsuki sighed softly.

There was no other way; he had made an agreement with Ferute.

Regardless, he had to return to the capital to see for himself how Felt would perform as a candidate for the throne.

As for the sword Roswaal promised, it has not been returned to this day.

If you still can't see it before you leave, just pretend this sword never existed.

Since the Astrea family calls themselves a family of sword saints, they must possess a considerable collection of swords.

When I meet that old hero again for another duel.

If all else fails, I can just borrow one from Reinhard to make do.

Natsuki Subaru shook his head and continued walking towards his room.

Just as he reached the vicinity of the guest rooms, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the end of the corridor.

Gorgeous clothing.

Long, dark blue hair.

And that face with clown-like makeup, a face that's hard to forget once you see it.

Roswaal is back!

Subaru Natsuki's drowsiness vanished almost instantly.

"Lord Roswaal!"

He walked over quickly.

"Could it be that the sword has already been brought back?"

"Well done, Roswaal!"

"I knew you were an honest and kind person!"

As we approach...

Natsuki Subaru then realized that there was another person standing next to him.

Short blue hair.

A black and white maid outfit.

It's Rem.

Chapter 58: The Book Club and Some Ideas for the New Subaru [Author's Note on Launching the Book]

[Free book club group number: 1081360816]

[Those who correctly answer the question about the main character's name (Natsuki Subaru) [Note the pronunciation: cai yue mao] will be able to join the group]

Next is my post-launch thoughts. The book was launched this morning, so updates may be a little late because I've already run out of drafts.

Actually, I don't have much to say anymore. I already shared my creative thoughts in yesterday's announcement of the big update.

Let's talk about the main character, Subaru Shinnazuki.

Actually, when I first started writing, I had some vague ideas.

This is definitely a protagonist that deserves to be explored in depth.

Because the original Natsuki Subaru is the typical hot-blooded protagonist in Japanese anime, with a touch of saintly compassion.

This is actually the type of protagonist that modern readers dislike. In order to show the charm of this kind of protagonist, it is necessary to show his indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. If this is not done well, he will seem like a fake person.

For example, Subaru Natsuki from the original work is considered by many to have a "baby bird complex".

Given this established tone, it is possible to give Subaru Natsuki a character arc.

The original author, Tappei Nagatsuki, almost had to choose to constantly torment Subaru in order to make him stand firm amidst pain and wavering.

i昴tv was thus born.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

However, in the setting of this book.

Subaru's experiences in Shinzo included countless pains, countless deaths, and the erosion of fate.

This transformed him from a saintly figure into someone who was both mad and persistent.

This idea, just standing here,

He had already begun to develop complex character arcs on a dramatic level.

Subaru, having experienced the cruel twists of fate, was left with a broken heart. He wanted to change everything but ultimately changed nothing.

Instead, they were trapped in a deadly predicament set up by fate, ultimately returning to the starting point of everything.

For those of you who frequently read online articles and practice music notes, does this description sound familiar?

Does it remind you of someone?

That's okay, I'll continue.

-

Natsuki Subaru's experiences in Shinzo Academia.

So far, the only word that comes to mind to summarize this is "regret".

I devoted nearly three chapters to describing Subaru Natsuki's regret.

In order, they are,

The Battle of Guandu and Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei and the plum wine.

On his sickbed, with Princess Qinghe [This section is actually a side description. Qinghe's presence is inherently attractive, and it's also a key element in showcasing Cao Cao's affection for Natsuki Subaru, thus highlighting Subaru's regret at dying before being able to repay Cao Cao.]

I felt immense pressure while writing these three paragraphs because the required writing style was almost completely different from the main tone of the book so far; I had to capture the flavor of an ancient battlefield.

Furthermore, Subaru, who went mad in the Re:Zero world, had to appear less mad in the Shin III world, because everyone else was madder than him.

Fortunately, after some revisions, I am quite satisfied with the final result of these three paragraphs, as can be seen from the number of comments.

Behind the three regrets, Subaru Natsuki knew very well that fate had played a part in them all.

And so, his ultimate goal began to take shape at that moment.

Just like the name of the sword technique he learned:

I hate the heavens!

His persistence and ultimate goal is to transcend fate and change his destiny.

Does it sound more familiar now? Still can't remember who it resembles?

To put it more bluntly, here are a few of the abilities that Subaru Natsuki has just demonstrated:

1. Return from Death

Repeatedly traversing the river of time, enduring pain beyond the reach of ordinary people, hoping to change the established course of history.

Corresponding to—

Cicadas in spring and autumn.

2. Moving under the stars,

The ability to move at near-instantaneous distance allows for a reassessment of strategies after each death and return.

Corresponding to—

Dingxianyou.

3. Influenced by fate, they died repeatedly, witnessed too much suffering, and finally became completely numb.

Despite its seemingly crazy exterior, it's actually become [a damn frozen tilapia] inside.


In the world of Re:Zero, most people with high standards can see Subaru's extraordinary nature at a glance.

Corresponding to—

I love the Immortal Venerable!

...

Actually, I don't need to say so much. Many readers have already started using the "I love the Immortal Venerable" meme. I think this is fate.

I don't know if it's because everyone understood that I wanted a more complex character design, or because Stand users of the same type tend to attract each other.

(We're talking about JoJo again. I guess my background is a bit complicated now.)

In conclusion, thank you all for your support.

It is your support that enabled me to cultivate the Perseverance Immortal Gu.
