???: [I’m sorry, I’ve caused you so much trouble…]
???: [No, Rem is the one who ought to be happy that you cried with joy. It was just like when Nee-sama did the same… ah.]
Petra bowed her head repeatedly, apologizing for her flustered and disgraceful behavior. Rem, who had tried to comfort Petra, realized she had said something awkward and stiffened her cheeks, looking toward Ram.
In response to Rem’s gaze, Ram smiled gently and said, “It’s okay”,
Ram: [After all, Ram is a pathetic older sister who is unable to even keep her composure during an emotional reunion. It’s no wonder Rem would call her sister a crybaby.]
Rem: [Th-that’s not what I meant! It’s a misunderstanding that you’re a crybaby, Nee-sama! Besides, I was happy that you cried for me, Nee-sama!] [1]
???: [That’s right, Ram. You’re finally able to remember Rem. Even if you did cry, no one would think you’re a crybaby. Cheer up!]
Ram: [Rem, Emilia-sama… wah, wah, wah…]
Following Rem’s lead, Emilia joined in comforting her, to which Ram covered her eyes with her hands and turned away. The two remained concerned, but from Petra’s perspective, it was all just a farce.
Of course, there was no doubt that this situation brought tears of joy to Ram’s eyes.
Petra: […Ram-neesama, I get that you’re happy, but you shouldn’t tease them so much.]
Emilia: [Huh!?]
Rem: [Tease…?]
Petra managed to compose herself and admonished Ram, causing Emilia and Rem to widen their eyes. Ram, who had deceived the two innocent girls, ceased her fake crying, shrugged her shoulders, and said,
Ram: [Well, now that memories have been restored, it’s natural to want to see all of Rem’s different expressions, so there was some teasing involved. Will you forgive such a mean older sister?]
Rem: [Nee-sama… well, it seems it can’t be helped. Just this once, okay?]
Ram: [Yes, thank you. Are you okay with that, Emilia-sama?]
Emilia: [Rem forgave you, so I can’t stay angry forever. Good grief.]
???: [Amazi~ng. Instead of showing any humility, all you did was act cute and you got away with i~t.]
Despite showing not a single shred of remorse, Rem and Emilia easily forgave Ram’s overbearing behavior, while Meili watched in astonishment and muttered in disbelief. Petra agreed with Meili’s disbelief. This was typical of Ram, but she was getting a little too carried away.
Petra: [I would like to hold a victory party for Rem… Rem-neesama, but this is a very difficult time, so could you please refrain from doing so, Ram-neesama?]
Ram: [Self-restraint, you say. That sounds reasonable at first, but what about you, Petra?]
Petra: [――? What do you mean? I’ve been reflecting on what happened earlier as well.]
Ram: [Not that you should feel bad about getting all worked up. It’s just something else that has been concerning. ――Ever since a little while ago, it seems you have naturally positioned yourself between Rem and Emilia-sama.]
Ram pointed this out with one eye closed, and Petra widened her eyes with a “Huh?”. Then, she looked to her left and right, and saw the profiles of Emilia and Rem beside her.
The three of them were now sitting side by side on a long sofa, with Petra in the middle. Petra had her arms firmly wrapped around the two of them, as if she never wanted to let go.
Petra: [Huh!?]
Meili: [Don’t just “huh” u~s. After you hugged Rem-oneesan, you ve~ry naturally pulled her along with yo~u. Even Emilia-oneesan was pulled along to~o.]
Petra: [S-sorry. It seems like my love for both of you overflowed…]
Petra reflected on her actions in light of Meili’s continued exasperation. However, her excuse was precisely the same as Ram’s earlier, causing Ram to let out a “Ha!”
Rem: [It’s okay, there’s no need to worry, Petra-san. Rem also wants to fill in the gaps in her memory piece by piece.]
Petra: [Rem-neesama…]
Rem: [Besides, Rem didn’t think Petra-san and the others in the village got along with her very well, so it’s a pleasant surprise to find that they cared so much.]
With Petra’s arm wrapped around her, Rem blushed slightly and gave a shy smile.
From Rem’s perspective, her relationship with Petra and the others was at its peak around the time the Royal Selection began―― during the month when Subaru was taken in at the mansion. Before that, they had been merely passing acquaintances at best.
That was why Rem’s perception was not wrong. The reason Petra held such strong feelings for Rem was not so much because of her own emotions, but because of the extent of “Subaru’s” influence.
However, despite that, she still felt them.
Petra: [Rem-neesama, smiling and looking shy, how precious…]
Emilia: [Petra-chan, your ears are reaaally red. Are you okay?]
Petra: [Ah, that’s not true. This isn’t two-timing… Emilia-neesama is number one!]
Emilia: [Huh? Um, that’s right. I’m the most important person in the camp, so I have to do my duties properly.]
Petra, torn between her impatience and happiness, blurted out something she should not have said, but Emilia, like the angel or goddess that she was, or perhaps because it simply went over her head, reacted to it like a dense protagonist.
With that in mind, Petra suppressed her racing heartbeat and stood up, telling herself, “Subaru is my number one…”
If she remained sandwiched between Emilia and Rem, her heart would surely be pulled apart.
???: [Way to go, Petra! You hung in there!]
Petra: [Subaru, you better be ready for me to give you a piece of my mind later. You two-timer.]
“Subaru”: [That’s not fair! I can’t even touch Emilia-tan or Rem!]
Petra managed to cut off her lingering sentimentality and directed her pent-up anger toward the Imaginary Subaru. Holding a handkerchief to stifle her tears, she sighed as she watched “Subaru” dance around the reception room, exploding with emotions toward Rem, whose memories had returned.
That was when――,
Rem: [Rem knows that she’s causing quite a disturbance, but it would be helpful if we could calm down for now. ――Let’s talk about that person.]
Petra: [――――]
Rem’s quiet voice caused the air in the room to become noticeably tense.
Although it had not completely relaxed, the atmosphere had started to warm up despite the urgency of the current situation, yet Rem herself wiped that away. That was very admirable and impressive.
Emilia: [Ram, Rem, did Clind-san already explain everything to you?]
Ram: [More or less. Besides, we also saw the devastation in the Royal Capital. Who would have thought it would come to this… Barusu really messed up.]
Petra: [Ram-neesama, that’s quite a way of putting it…]
Ram: [Sorry, let’s rephrase that. ――Everyone, including Ram, really messed up.]
Petra: [――――]
Ram’s assessment weighed heavily and resonated deeply with everyone.
As previously confirmed before Ram and Rem had rejoined them, the severity of Al’s actions was beyond one’s ability to bear.
???: [That bein’ said, there’s nothin’ ta be gained from blamin’ ourselves excessively. Ultimately, the responsibility for what happened oughta lie with the person who caused it. That’s what we’ve concluded.]
Ram: [That’s how Ram and the others feel, no doubt. But things aren’t that simple. Wouldn’t you agree?]
???: […You’re quite an impressive girl. What was all that foolin’ around earlier?]
With that, Rom-jii stroked his bald head and gave Ram a stern look. Seeing the understanding between the two, Rem tilted her head and said “Nee-sama”,
Rem: [When you say “things aren’t that simple,” are you talking about where the responsibility lies?]
Ram: [Yes, that’s right. Rom-sama wants to discuss the details. Please go ahead.]
Rom: [Throwin’ us a load of trouble… well, fine. As the girl said, regardless of our resolve, the current situation ain’t good for us or for all of ya.]
Rom-jii, who had been entrusted with explaining the situation by Ram, pointed at himself and Emilia with his thick fingers. Staring at his large fingertips, Emilia blinked her amethyst eyes and,
Emilia: [That’s true for us, but, Rom-jii, what about you, the others… and Felt-chan?]
Rom: [Ezzo was also at the Tower. He was given the task of managin’ the Tower until an official investigation team could be dispatched by the Kingdom, but he was unable ta fulfill his duty. Even Reinhard wasn’t able ta stop the helmet bastard nor the Divine Dragon, ‘n damage was caused ta the Royal Capital.]
Meili: [Bu~t, thanks to Emilia-oneesan, no big rocks fell on the city, ri~ght? So why are we still being scol~ded?]
Rom: [If ya could gain popularity just by smashin’ stones thrown at ya, then Reinhard could just keep doin’ that forever. Meili, it’s not just the results that need ta be judged fairly, but the process as well.]
Meili pouted at Rom-jii, who shook his big head slowly with a serious expression.
Hidden beneath Meili’s dissatisfied attitude lay her frustration that Emilia’s critical role was not being properly appreciated. Realizing this, Emilia smiled at Meili and said, “Thank you,” causing the pouting girl to turn away even further.
Rom: [At the bare minimum, we gotta talk ‘bout what we absolutely must do. First, we gotta stop that helmet bastard… the man who calls himself Aldebaran, with our own hands. We can’t leave it ta anyone else or the Kingdom. We can only talk ‘bout recoupin’ our losses after we’ve done that.]
Emilia: [Why does it have to be us? Of course, it would be natural for us to try our best, but if Al is stopped before he does something terrible…]
Rom: [Emilia, ya don’t understand. It’s no longer just ‘bout Aldebaran. He’s got the Divine Dragon on his side. This is a serious matter that could shake the foundations of the Royal Selection… the only way ta reverse that is for the Dragon Priestess, a Royal Candidate, ta recall the Divine Dragon. If that can’t be done…]
Emilia: [――Would that mean the Royal Selection itself would be null and void?]
Emilia spoke of a definitive possibility, and Rom-jii drew back his chin with a serious expression. Upon hearing this, Petra belatedly comprehended the gravity of the situation.
In the first place, the Royal Selection to determine the next monarch of the Kingdom of Lugunica was based upon the prophecy of the Dragon History Stone that was necessary in order to maintain the Covenant with the Dragon. In other words, it was a ceremony which relied upon the mighty power of the Divine Dragon Volcanica, and without the Divine Dragon, the Royal Selection would not be viable.
Rom: [For that reason, we must. The only solution’s ta stop Aldebaran, the one who’s bewitched the Divine Dragon, by the hands of a Royal Candidate.]
This was a fundamental prerequisite for settling this crucial situation, and for the continuation of the Royal Selection.
The words of the old giant, the wise man from the Felt Camp, who had long seen the world, possessed conviction which none could refute.
The destruction of the world by Al’s hand must be averted. However, that did not mean that so long as the world was spared, nothing else mattered.
After the battle ended, there was the matter of――,
Rem: [We need to ensure there is a proper place for Subaru-kun’s return.]
Emilia: [Rem…]
After listening to Rom-jii’s words, Emilia looked at Rem as she muttered so. Rem met her gaze, her pale-blue eyes filled with resolve, responding with “That’s how it should be, is it not?”,
Rem: [That person, he did the same for me. Rem’s room in the mansion remained exactly as it was before… because Subaru-kun thought so highly of her, Rem was able to remember the things she had forgotten. It’s all thanks to the Morningstar that Subaru-kun polished every day…!]
Indeed, Rem emphasized that forcefully, with an iron ball attached to a chain in her hands―― the Morningstar. Overwhelmed by the chain’s rousing resonation and Rem’s vigor, Emilia tilted her head.
Emilia: […Thanks to the Morningstar?]
Rem: [Yes. It may surprise you, but it was in the moment upon touching the Morningstar. Every memory up to that point came flooding back… thinking that it was all just that person’s obsession was a misunderstanding… There are so many things to apologize for.]
Lowering her eyes as if ashamed of herself, Rem recounted how her memories had returned to her. Troubled by Rem’s impassioned plea, a wide-eyed Emilia waved her hands about.
Perhaps, it was a matter of timing. ――That which Gluttony, whom Al had released from the Prison Tower, had done was likely related to the rebirth of Rem’s Memories and Name. And that had happened at the same time Rem had touched the Morningstar in the mansion.
That was why Rem was convinced that the Morningstar had awakened her.
Emilia: [You know, Rem, can you calm yourself for a moment to listen…]
Rem: [Rest assured, Emilia-sama. With this Morningstar, Rem will surely be of help in getting Subaru-kun back. After that is done, let us discuss what happened in the Empire and the future…]
Emilia continued to look troubled as Rem clenched her fists with an attitude of determination. Next to her, Meili looked at Ram and asked, “Aren’t you going to stop he~r?”, to which she replied,
Ram: [It can’t be helped. This is something Ram didn’t expect either. ――Who would have thought that Barusu’s ridiculous ramblings about polishing it every day would actually prove useful?]
Meili: […It’s really bad that I’m the one with the most common sense he~re.]
Meili lamented the situation, in which even Ram had placed too much faith in the power of the Morningstar.
In any case, it was necessary to share everything they knew concerning Gluttony with Rem and the others, including their speculations. Petra decided to leave that to Emilia, and turned back to Rom-jii, keeping the dream-like interplay between Emilia and Rem in the corner of her eye.
And then――,
Petra: [Clind-niisama still hasn’t returned with the Master and the others… but we don’t have much time. We’ll be cooperating with Rom-ojiisan, right?]
Rom: [――. Yeah, that’s right. It’s our consensus that the Royal Selection’s gotta continue.]
Petra: [Then, please tell us all about it. Rom-ojiisan, what have you noticed about Al-san?]
Rom-jii had joined up with them in the plains and had accompanied them as they rushed to the Royal Capital. For the sake of Clind’s Compression, he had opted to act separately from Tonchinkan and the rest, but he had been laying the groundwork for fighting alongside Emilia and the others, saying that he had critical information concerning Al that he had obtained during their previous clash.
From the discussions up to this point, the Emilia and Felt Camps were of one mind. It was time for both sides to open up to each other; thus, Petra urged Rom-jii.
In response to Petra’s request, Rom-jii patted his bald head and said,
Rom: [What I’m gonna tell ya is gonna sound pretty outlandish ‘n insane. I didn’t keep it a secret ’cause I wanted ta seem important or nothin’, but ’cause it’s so unbelievable.]
Petra: [It’s okay. I’ll believe you, Rom-ojiisan. I’m sure Rom-ojiisan would be surprised if he knew, seriously.]
Rom: […You’re also quite the peculiar girl, ain’t’cha, Petra.]
Perhaps mistaking it for lip service, Rom-jii lowered his eyebrows and muttered in exasperation.
But, there were no lies in Petra’s words. Petra trusted Rom-jii. She knew that he cared deeply for Felt, who had been taken hostage by Al and his accomplices, and that he was a man of fatherly love who would show no hesitation to sacrifice his life for Felt.
For that reason, the hurdle of trust about which Rom-jii was concerned was cleared at the onset.
Unaware of Petra’s various circumstances, while paying heed to Emilia and Rem, who even now were still reconciling their perceptions of each other, Rom-jii said,
Rom: [This is somethin’ I’ll tell Emilia ‘n the others later, but… this Aldebaran guy, he’s likely usin’ some kinda cheat technique called an Authority.]
“Subaru”: [――An Authority.]
“Subaru” reacted to Rom-jii’s carefully chosen words before Petra could.
“Subaru” ceased his twirling in midair and his face stiffened, his gaze fixed intently upon Rom-jii. The Imaginary Subaru’s reaction was understandable. They had just heard it from Clind’s mouth, but both Petra and “Subaru” were familiar with the word “Authority” and its more sinister significance.
It was a word that had been uttered by the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, and by the Witch of Greed who slumbered in her tomb.
The manifestation of a formidable right which allowed one to interfere with the nature of this world, to overturn concepts, to selfishly paint over those laws.
The reason Rom-jii concluded that Al utilized one was because――,
Rom: [――This guy, it seems like he’s able ta go back ta time gone by. But, it don’t seem ta go very far back, though.]
△▼△▼△▼△
――In the end, just what was it that she absolutely needed to do?
That “problem”, which had accompanied her endlessly since the days she had been small and weak, continued to familiarly haunt Felt even now that she had been taken by the Aldebaran Crew.
Felt: [Geez, it’s so damn irritating.]
Scratching her head at that frustration, Felt spat out the bitterness that had been festering in her stomach.
Feelings of powerlessness and resignation, albeit definite, were of no use; this Felt knew. Despite that, despite neither quenching her throat nor filling her belly, they would seek to fill up people’s bodies, welling up by every means just to get in the way.
Felt: [――Tsk.]
With a click of her tongue, Felt sunk her teeth into the dried meat served to her for dinner, chewing it apart. Finding herself clearly unsatisfied with the overly salty flavor, she was disgusted with how spoiled she had become.
It had been a mere two and a half days since they had been parted, yet she longed for the cooking of Flam and Grassis.
Even the heavily seasoned, manly meals that Ezzo, Rachins, and the rest would sometimes bring to the table were far preferable to these portable dishes. Flam and Grassis would get mad at her if she made Reinhard cook, as it was a task below his station, so she did not make him do so, but when Felt had him make sweets in secret, he was not bad at all.
Unfortunately, Felt and Rom-jii’s culinary skills were so horrendous that she was amazed she had not died of food poisoning in the over ten years she had spent at the loot house. That was likely the source of Felt’s meager growth when compared to others of the same age.
Regardless of the culinary circumstances of her Camp――,
Felt: [I can’t cook or nothing. So then, what can I do?]
Licking a grain of salt off her fingertip, Felt narrowed her red eyes, her thoughts returning to the initial “problem”.
――At present, the Aldebaran Crew was moving from place to place, with Aldebaran and the Divine Dragon endeavoring to recover from their exhaustion incurred from the Royal Capital. Initially, Felt assumed that Aldebaran and his accomplices would make straight for their objective, the Grand Mogolade Geyser, after fleeing the Royal Capital, but it seemed as if it was not simply a matter of reaching the destination; an element of grasping the right time was involved as well.
However, those breaths of respite while waiting for that time were far from ideal―― they had been met with the relentless sabotage of a callous pursuer, Otto Suwen.
Felt: [It’s not just talking with bugs, it’s an outrageously terrifying Divine Protection… Or rather, what’s terrifying is probably not the Divine Protection, but Zodda bug-niichan himself.]
Otto possessed a quiet and ignorant face, but his true nature seemed to be that of an individual warranting extreme caution.
Ultimately, every Divine Protection served as nothing more than just another tool. No matter how fine a sword one held, if they were not equipped with the strength to swing it, the ambition and opportunity to learn how to wield it, and the courage to brandish blade when the time came, then the sword would merely be a fine decoration.
Otto had the strength, the opportunity, the ambition, and the courage. ――Thus, Felt would have no choice but to prove that she too possessed those things, swordless as she was.
Felt: [That nii-chan’s going all out on the offensive… plotting some damn nasty stuff.]
With the Divine Protection of the Soul of Language, Otto had allied with bugs, birds, and fish; without allowing the Aldebaran Crew even a moment of tranquility, he was constantly forcing them to counter.
The buzzing of insects and the distant howling of beasts, the pollution of water and contamination of food supplies, his methods of attack were diverse; since they were unable to secure any sleeping hours, Felt, being dragged along with them, was also experiencing a headache.
But, getting caught in the crossfire like this was something Felt could discount as trivial damage. If possible, Felt would make use of her position accompanying the enemy to mercilessly contribute to Otto’s tactics.
Felt: [I thought there’d have been plenty enough meaning in serving to suppress the Divine Dragon, but…]
That alone would not suffice; she had understood that through the battle between Divine Dragon and Sword Demon at the Royal Capital.
Even if Felt’s presence curtailed the Divine Dragon’s power by ten percent, the remaining ninety percent was still enough to display catastrophic power; that was the true worth of the Divine Dragon Volcanica―― considering the possibility that from here forward, Rom-jii would seek a rematch against Aldebaran’s party after his initial defeat, her current state was lacking.
At present, that was the “problem” that the captured Felt ought to face.
Felt: [No, I guess there’s also one more.]
Muttering so, Felt turned her eyes toward the other “problem”, visible from her position.
???: [――――]
To her fore, across the crackling bonfire, a man sat facing Felt. ――No, he could not be described as facing her. After all, his face was downcast, with nary a glance in her direction.
Clutching a sheathed sword to his chest, silently cowering as if he were deceased, the red-haired man radiated a sense of vexation in every direction―― Heinkel.
Left alone at the entrance of a cave naturally formed in a rocky wall, Felt and Heinkel were spending a dismal time together, waiting for the ones who had gone to ascertain the safety of the surroundings and remove obstacles.
For the time being, Heinkel was supposed to be in charge of supervising Felt, but based on the ratio of who was looking at who, it would not have been possible to tell exactly who the supervisor was. That manner of rejecting the outside world, to the point of neither touching his dinner of dried meat nor putting water to his lips, thoroughly rubbed Felt the wrong way.
Felt: [――――]
Felt had declared that she had no ruler of good or bad with which to measure Heinkel’s actions. There was no falsehood in that, and she would not alter her view, but―― she did have a ruler of liking and disliking to measure with.
At the very least, his demeanor befitting a Hollow despite yet living, was something she absolutely hated.
Felt: [Oi, if you aren’t gonna eat, pass me that dried meat.]
Heinkel: [――――]
Felt: [You can hear me, yeah? Don’t ignore… woah there.]
Albeit her initial belligerence, the dried meat she had used to broach conversation was thrown at her as if to shut her up. She hastened to pick it up, but Heinkel cast nary a glance in her direction.
In that instant, thinking it foolish to unclench her fists, Felt called out “Oi” once more,
Felt: [So, why the hell did you interfere back there?]
Straight to the point, Felt boldly cut straight to the source of Heinkel’s cowering.
Heinkel: [――――]
Heinkel kept his silence; however, given that he had flung the dried meat at her, he had not completely cut himself off from the outside world. Seizing on that, Felt lightly exhaled,
Felt: [Your old man… how should I call him. The fight between Reinhard’s grandfather and the Divine Dragon. I’m not really a warrior or anything like that, so I dunno the specifics of who was superior in that battle and stuff. But, you’re supposed to be the Divine Dragon’s ally, yeah?]
Heinkel: [――――]
Felt: [For you to have interfered there meant that things were looking bad for the Divine Dragon. That’s an outrageous prospect, but there’s also something strange about it. ――If your objective is the Dragon’s Blood, then that grandpa being on the verge of victory ought to have been the perfect opportunity.]
Heinkel: [――――]
Felt: [Even though you might have gotten your hands on the Blood if the Dragon died, you got in the way. Why’s that?]
Using the other party’s lack of objections to make her point, Felt bluntly lined up her words.
As she had said, Heinkel’s interference with the battle between Divine Dragon and Sword Demon was exceedingly unnatural when considering his goal. There was also a possibility that he had acted on impulses of a strong grudge towards his father, but before flying off with the Divine Dragon, Heinkel had requested the Dragon to apply healing on Wilhelm, whom he had stabbed.
In other words, Heinkel had wished for neither Divine Dragon, nor Sword Demon, to die during that battle.
Felt: [It’s way too incoherent. Just what exactly are you――]
Thinking; it had been the moment she was about to continue her words. ――Immediately pinned down to the hard ground, an unsheathed blade was fastened to Felt’s neck.
Heinkel: [You talk too much, brat.]
Right before her eyes, the bloodshot blue eyes of Heinkel were present. Perhaps because he had bitten the inside of his mouth, his breaths doused her in a reek of blood, causing Felt to grimace. While she did so, Heinkel continued to slide the blade as if to intimidate Felt,
Heinkel: [If you don’t want to feel the pain, then don’t say such unnecessary―― goaghh!?]
Through an opening in that threat, Felt drove her fist forward without hesitation, straight into Heinkel’s nose.
Heinkel exclaimed “Uh, ah?”; rather than pain, it was the reality of having been hit that surprised him. As he stood up with the momentum, a kick to the chest sent him crashing onto his backside, and Felt looked down upon him.
Felt: [There’s no way I’d be scared of you at this point.]
Saying that, Felt picked up Heinkel’s sword which had fallen beside her. For a moment, Heinkel’s body tensed, but Felt heaved a sigh and tossed the sword back to him. Heinkel snatched up the sword, eyes widening, but Felt just shrugged her shoulders in response.
It might have seemed a mystery why she had returned the sword, but from Felt’s perspective, it was the natural decision.
Even if Felt went ballistic here, she could not beat Heinkel, and on the off chance that Heinkel thoughtlessly tried to cut Felt down, it was clear that Yae would be overjoyed. To begin with, the moment Felt and Heinkel had been left alone here, Yae’s aims were made obvious.
If possible, Yae wished to discard both Felt and Heinkel. Resorting to violence here was unideal, as it would only have been playing right into her hands. ――Even without such reasoning, there was also the fact that it was not Felt’s role to beat up Heinkel.
Felt: [Then you’d think it’d be Reinhard’s role, but I think that also doesn’t seem right.]
Heinkel: [――Hk.]
As Reinhard’s name came up, Heinkel was once again greatly perturbed.
For a man over double Felt’s age to be cowering in fear over her every word and action was absurdly unsightly. However, Felt wanted to uncover the reason behind that unsightliness.
Even if that would deliver a terribly bitter flavor to Felt, she wished to know.
Felt: [Same as before, you don’t gotta answer anything. I’ll speak on my own, and infer on my own.]
Wiping the hem of her clothes, dirtied from being pinned down, Felt waited not for the other party’s response, and looked to the sky. Within the night sky, visible through a fissure in the rocky wall, countless stars shone aglow with a brightness that did not belong.
Glaring at the ironic beauty in that sky, Felt broached with “As a matter of fact”,
Felt: [What bothered me about the battle between the Divine Dragon and that grandpa was everything I said before. Even though you want that Dragon’s Blood, the actions you took don’t seem to add up. And so, there’s one other thing with you that doesn’t seem to add up either. ――It’s Gluttony.]
Heinkel: [――――]
Felt: [Let’s ignore the fact that that bastard’s got the absolute worst personality, and that he never ever stops talking. Even without that, he’s a good-for-nothing Sin Archbishop, and there’s no way he’d ever be welcomed, but… when it comes to reasons to hate that bastard, you ought to have way more than I do, yeah?]
Hushed, Heinkel gave no answer, but his breath caught upon hearing the question. Even if he did not respond with words, Heinkel’s reaction was far too easy to read, and thus Felt narrowed her eyes.
Released from the Prison Tower, Roy Alphard was being made to accompany them by Aldebaran as a necessity for his plan―― there were endless reasons to hate, to detest the Sin Archbishops who brought forth many a tragedy, but Heinkel ought to have had a more precise, definite reason for enmity.
After all, the woman who was Reinhard’s mother, who was Heinkel’s wife―― the affliction of the ever-slumbering Louanna Astrea bore a striking resemblance to that of the victims of Gluttony.
Felt: [I said it once before, but I know about your… about Reinhard’s family circumstances. That your wife’s been sleeping for over ten years, and that you can’t find a way to wake her up. Well, that might be resolved once you’ve received the Dragon’s Blood, but… how are you gonna settle the score?]
Heinkel: [――――]
Felt: [How are you gonna settle the score with the fuckface who put your wife to sleep for over ten years?]
Through the assault on Duchess Crusch Karsten and the battle at the Watergate City Pristella, the damage incurred by the Authority of Gluttony had been made clear; Sleeping Beauties―― tragic beings whose ties had all been severed, discovered in a state of unawakening sleep, with nobody around aware of their existence. It was uncovered that such individuals were none other than victims of the Witch Cult.
Of course, that also ought to have reached the ears of Heinkel. Nevertheless, not once had Heinkel displayed any interest in Gluttony, who could have been the cause of his wife’s slumber.
――Was it because his utmost priority was to acquire the Dragon’s Blood and awaken his wife?
――Was the impact of stabbing his own father, bathing in his blood, simply all too much?
Or perhaps――,
Felt: [If you seriously are just completely disregarding the bastard, then why?]
Heinkel: [W-wait… what are…]
Felt: [You don’t need to respond. I told you, didn’t I? I’ll speak on my own, and infer on my own.]
His grip on the sword quivering, with an expression deathly pale Heinkel did look at Felt. The gaze of eyes Astrea-blue clashed with that of her own red, and Felt was convinced.
Deep within Heinkel’s eyes were terribly indefinite, yet ultimately unperishing embers. ――Likely, they were heat of the same ilk as that which dwelled in the eyes of Rom-jii whenever he gazed upon Felt.
Heinkel: [――――]
Appearing to be a despicable man, self-centered, selfish, self-destructive, of wavering heart whilst being ignorant of his own capabilities, and beyond all help, was Heinkel Astrea. ――If concealed deep within, visible through only the slightest of gaps, was a heat ever-present in this man’s every action, that would mean.
Felt: [The reason you don’t even bother to look at Gluttony, is because you know there’s no connection between your wife falling asleep and Gluttony. You know it’s incorrect, so you don’t turn your sword on him. But…]
――Louanna Astrea’s affliction of Sleeping Beauty, was definitively different to that of the other Sleeping Beauties.
Unlike the Sleeping Beauties whose every tie in the world was severed, Louanna was remembered by Reinhard, by Heinkel, by all who were acquainted with her, and her slumber they all did lament.
In other words, it was different. Louanna Astrea was no victim of Gluttony. Then, while Heinkel knew the truth of the matter, he had not shared it with anyone else.
Why was that? Because he could not afford for any to know. ――The cause, of Louanna’s slumber.
That cause was――,
Felt: [――Reinhard.]
Heinkel: [――――]
A pair of motionless, widened eyes, a voiceless countenance, a husky breath void of vitality, all of which became an answer more eloquent than words, lending credence to Felt’s conviction.
That which she absolutely needed to do. ――Finding that out, was Felt’s current “problem”.
By her resolve and conviction to face that “problem”, she arrived at the terribly bitter truth, and that was――,
Felt: [――So the one who put Reinhard’s mother to sleep, was Reinhard himself?]
Translation Note:
[1] Rem’s speech patterns since she regained her memories have been slipping between her style of speaking in Vollachia and before she fell asleep. One very noticeable indication of this is that she is flipping between using her name and 私 (watashi), the pronoun she used in Vollachia. This will be shown in our translations with I/me for 私 and Rem when she uses that. Going forward, we will not be pointing this out every time it happens, since it will likely occur a lot.
fuck Reinhard
how bout you make those titties bounce darling
Woah john pork calm down
WCT comment section was a mistake
F you

Why is the Rezero story is getting worst after arc 6 the arc 9 showed some promise in the start but now things are again becoming more and more dumb and how can wilhelm fight volancia one on one it makes no sense at all volancia should be the strongest existence after Reinhard.
Obviously, the story gets worse after the 6th arc. I think even after 4. But you’re wrong here. It was said that Volcanica in the 6th arc = 1/10 of its full strength, and Volcanica of the 9th arc is much weaker than Volcanica of the 6th arc. Current Volcanica is just a transport and a source of mana for Al.
Volcanica with Al knowledge is now on par or even surpass his prime, the only reason wilhelm held that long is because they are in a city and Al still follow his no kill rule. Not to mention that wilhelm also regain his former glory, the time that he could take down eight arm without taking a single hit
we still don’t know how strong prime Volcanica was and probably Volcanica didn’t want to kill wilheim and he mentto say that he couldn’t win that fight without killing wilheim because as Al said none of them are allowed to kill.
Absolutely not.
And another critical point is that wilheim couldn’t even scrach Volcanica while fighting but also gave a pretty decent performance against Volcanica. if heinkel didn’/couldn’t stab wilheim It would be impossible for Volcanica to reach Al at the time
I agree with you exactly.
when’s chapter 37
Para de defecar pela boca, o Volcanica atual é uma criança perto do Volcanica de 400 anos atrás.
re zero has downgraded heavily ever since arc 2 WN.
Arc 1 WN actually. It becomes extremely tropey after that part.
So why have you continued reading it this far? I can’t wrap my head around that.
Re:Zero sucks now and we have to deal with this fact.
Bro Sekhmet literally had Volcanica running with his tail between his legs. He clearly is not the strongest existence after rein. Also reminder, Wilhelm had approached his prime YET AGAIN. On top of that Volcanica is not even awake, its just Al utilizing the dragons body. The story is not even getting worse this arc is genuinely fixing to be better than arc 6.
If you’re a fan of action anime made for 14 year olds, arcs 7-9 are really good.
Lol that was a good one. Shonen kids enjoy everything regardless of how much of a slop they’re.
Me when I have 0 reading comprehension
Easy quit reading if you don’t like it and fuck off
Nah. We’ll keep on reading to hate Re:Zero and there is nothing you can do about it.
Oh wow, I bet you feel cool
You must really hate your life in that case.
Get a life.
Imagine willingly spending your free time just whining.
Wow, I wish I had that kinda time on my hands.
I cannot comprehend how a person could enjoy reading a novel they hate depite not wanting to just to shit on it even though nobody cares and the current webnovel Fandom is literally more active than when the anime was streaming.
Easy answer to this would be that, up until the end of arc 6, Tappei had all the time he needed.
He spent 5 years writing arc 6, and by the end, the LNs had caught up, leaving him without the time to take his time and make everything perfect.
why are you still reading if it’s so bad dumbass, holy shit yap somewhere else there’s enough annoying losers like you spreading your misery all over the internet
Bro is NOT reading
Felt deserves better than this fraud.
wtf?? why is everybody hating reinhard all of a sudden??? Do you realize how grounded and down to earth that person is despite having the strength to neg the verse??? due to the latest chapter ppl js effing forced the hate on him as if he wanted to make his own mother suffer of his own volition. Give this man a rest, he is lowkey treated like a tool by the world and still remains humble and desires to have friends too.
The guy is LITERALLY saving the world at the moment, and they are calling him a fraud???? Nah, I thought comments here would give me more insights, but it’s kids fighting…
Fans who hate Reinhard are extremely rare. But for some reason, Tappei himself hates Reinhard and tries to make readers hate him. Tappei actually said that. Reinhard is a good interesting character and a good person. I don’t understand Tappei. Although this is the same person who called Puck (an archbishop-level scumbag) a role model, so it shouldn’t be surprising.
is this part of vol41 or vol42?
Vol41
I BEEN SAYING REINHARD A BITCH AND HEINKEL IS THE GOAT.
BY FAR THE BEST ASTREA.
And here will come all the bandwagons
True
Based
Did we already know that Reinhard caused the sleeping? Or was this just a prevalent theory?
Either way, I do hope we finally learn the why in more detail.
Subaru’s dream of becoming a girl came true. I wonder if Schizo Petrabaru will turn her color black.
Damn reinhardt, i guess wilhelm and heinkel weren’t really projecting
It’s complete nonsense that Al didn’t do anything to Rom, who came close to defeating them. Take him somewhere far away on a dragon so he won’t return anytime soon. Put a seal on his soul like Roy. Do something else with Echidna’s super magic. No? The author just made Al dumb to ensure his defeat. Don’t know how to give someone victory over a stronger enemy? Make their enemy as dumb as possible. Cool… Tappei has shown readers for the second chapter in a row that he approves of Rem’s torture in Arc 2. The jokes about the author’s hatred for Subaru are no longer jokes. None of his tormentors will be judged or punished. RbD will not be fully revealed. We should expect Todd or Olbart to be at Subaru and Emilia’s wedding, if it will.
God let that happen, it would be funny as hell if all of it was for naught just cause of Todd Howard. Just let the WoE kill Todd forever and see if that mofo still can come back pike as if he’s Afton
It does frustrate me that the tone of the novel wants me to support the main cast, when logically they should be super boned. They don’t just have to deal with Alcanica, they also need to reseal the witch, and the going plan at the moment seems to be ‘beat Al up and he will then willingly tell us how to reseal her’. When its Subaru its ‘don’t avert your eyes from the brutal reality’ but when its the camp its ‘everything will work out with the power of friendship’ ffs.
I will only like this arc if Al wins, not because he is a hero and deserves it, but because if he loses then it will absolutely be for the most contrived reason imaginable.
I’m pretty sure Al will win. Rom was left by the author to increase the tension and difficulty for Al, not to win. But in the end, it turns out that Echidna has planned something another, and Al’s actions will lead to an unexpected result. Thinking back to the 4th arc in WN, I can’t believe that she and the other witches are actually planning Subaru’s death.
Honestly, same.
Thinking back, Echidna has a hand in so much of what has happened in this series. Her book, aside from versions of it being given to Roswaal and Beatrice to manipulate them, also found versions getting to the witch cult, helping guide them. She had Al as a student, and is clearly manipulating him. Sphinx came from her too. All the while, she can see the world’s future at a glance.
Al probably will win, to an extent.
This is too much. 1) The Echidna who taught Al (she is clone) was definitely created before the Sphinx was created and before she met Roswaal. 2) Roswaal and Beatrice’s Gospels are autonomous. Echidna does not manipulate them. Beatrice’s Gospel is empty because she has no goal. 3) She created the Sphinx to try to destroy Lugunica and Vollachia? Uh… Why? This happened shortly before the Great Disaster and the subsequent sealing by Volcanica. Echidna is shown to be a good person in her later years. 4) Most fans agree that Pandora is the author of the Cult’s Gospels. 5) Echidna sees everything that will happen and everything goes according to her plan? We’ve seen many times where things go badly for Echidnas, or even things happen that she thinks are impossible.
Echidna created sphinx to clone herself with some form of ryuzu’s body (as far as sphinx knows) then abandoned it when it failed but the failed experiment went rogue in its quest to complete itself (and almost destroyed the world in the process)
I know. I was responding to a man who thinks that Echidna rules the world, and that she has planned disasters staged by Sphinx.
I think Beatrice’s gospel went blank because the person she was supposed to be waiting for (most likely subaru) purposely had his name eaten (before also wiping his memories) probably so whomever is the villain forgot about his existence.
I doubt that this would be the case since any gluttony holder so far never hints at Subaru or anyone already being affected by forgetting his name or Gluttony side effects and we dont know why either them or another Gluttony holder would already have his name before the series began only eating the name and not his memories on purpose and not end up a vegetable as well as him still having the groceries in Arc 1. I doubt Tappei would pull off something to that level of hack simply because it breaks continuity and adds lore and questions on top of already established arcs. Something like “Echidna stopped filling the book pages since she wanted Beatrice to choose who to let her out which was Subaru” is already satisfying enough of a conclusion.
1) Beatrice being made for Subaru is a popular theory that doesn’t take into account one very important thing. Beatrice is made in such a way that her strength depends on the mana reserves of the person she made a contract with. If we believe that she was made for someone, then we should look among people with gigantic mana reserves. With Subaru, Beatrice is extremely weakened. She probably won’t be able to defeat Ricardo. If Beatrice was focused and ready to fight as much as possible, but she had a contract with Emilia, she would be able to defeat Puck. Subaru waited for 400 years and did nothing, and then started living from scratch? What was he waiting for? I don’t see the point.
2) The current Archbishops of Gluttony have lived for 400 years, and they forgot about Subaru? Echidna is asleep and can’t fill anything. Echidna from the Castle of Dreams doesn’t care about Beatrice, Beatrice doesn’t care about her. I think Subaru is like Reid. All humans are reset to their original state in the Corridor of Memory for several centuries, and then Od Laguna spits them out into the world. Reid in Arc 6 is summoned from there by the Watchtower’s magic in its peak state, Od Laguna automatically gave Reid his things from that moment in time. I think Subaru was reset to his isekai state, and then spat out into the world. I think at this point we can be sure that centuries have passed on Earth since the isekai.
Clind Its a key on this arc.
Hope the lolicon dies soon enough
Why would the witches plan Subaru’s death, lol. In what way do you mean. If you mean in the sense that they form a contingency plan to keep Subaru at bay if he becomes sgae then I can see that but I don’t seem them killing him, lol
Wtf xD how much information in a limited time frame can a person get… You are looking at this as if every character is literally reading the novel… Not everyone or hell anyone can make perfect decision making…. And everyone made good decisions even if there sre some mussed opportunities in my opinion but hey I can’t write something like this…
Seems to me half tge comment section has a probelm with Tappeis writing yet is here on release… This ain’t league of legends that you gave to keep playing (reading) until your soul washes away…..
This is not an explanation for why Al just gave Rom such a chance. He didn’t do anything with it when he had the opportunity. When that chapter came out, people were sure that Al would kill Rom. Rom devised a successful plan to win in a few minutes after he realized Al’s authority. Al would have lost if it hadn’t been for Felt. Al said Rum was more dangerous than Reinhard. Al is described as a cold-blooded man behind a clown mask who always finds the right path to victory and can handle any unexpected situation. It’s impossible to deny that this is just a stupid way for the author to make things worse for Al.
Al already say that they’ll kill no one. only person he wants to delete from world is natsuki subaru and he thinks similar to subaru while fighting emilia this can be a clue about he red one of subaru’s books (probably latest) and killed him one more time for know what happened in that loop from the NEW book of subaru.
This could make al more merciful than he originally has and let us understand why he has similar thoughts about death and he can’t let any loop meaningless mentality (in a twisted form)
to make it clear we know that in Al’s terratory after the coin flip (probably there isn’t any coin flip)
even if the opponent dies still al goes back at the time. so he could use this for making a new book of the death.
this part is just my coping but if there is a subaru inside al’s head it can damage Al’s desicion making ability
Not still Al goes back if Al isn’t the aggressor Al goes back
1. He didn’t think about solving the problem at all. He wasn’t looking for a way to neutralize Rom without killing him. 2. His decision not to kill was made by the author, not by him. This is completely unnatural for the situation. It’s only necessary to make it harder for Al, and because everyone in ReZero has a plot armor. Al decided not to kill for Priscilla. Priscilla always killed without hesitation if she saw fit. Al too. 3. Al’s will is much stronger than Subaru’s, so Subaru couldn’t influence him.
Priscilla killed innocent knight named Gilian for no reason and tis very bitch was inspiring the value of life in this helmet dude , lol,
Something along the lines “the world she loved he doesn’t wanna harm” goober stuff
Priscilla d*ckriding goes crazy man. I hate mary sue characters everyone loves and respect for literally no reason like her so much.
You’re wrong about this one. Her husband wanted to drive Priscilla crazy with magic and turn her into an obedient doll. All the servants knew about it, including that dude. I don’t remember her killing innocents. And she is really as competent as possible. Echidna and Priscilla are the 2 smartest characters. But Echidna has a more technical mindset, while Priscilla has a humanitarian one. There is no one who understands people better than Priscilla. She easily solves any problems in her territories, as a brilliant manager, and also gets the love of her subjects. Her scientific knowledge was enough for the peasants to have a record harvest for many years. But she really doesn’t value life much and kills without hesitation.
he did not knew about it , nor he deserved death the stop lying, leip said the knight is also another of his pawn nothing more her monolouging was also about the same narcissitic whining , she also gave order for execution of cecilus because he made comment that “his reflection looks good in her eyes” ,
CORRECTION : priscilla didn’t call for execution that was misinformation on my part , she killed Al 1000 times when he was trying to convince her to go to vollachia.psychopathic
I don’t remember exactly what happened to that knight. But I’m sure Priscilla was always aware of Al’s authority and the principle of his work.
Its natural bc he doesnt wanna kill anybody, he knows he has infinite tries (unless he fucks up bad) so even if its harder for him that doesnt really matter
Rom is a threat even with authority. Al understood that. Al didn’t try to defuse it. The desire not to kill is completely out of character for Al.
This is a blatant misunderstanding of character. No duh his decision to not kill was made by the author. You’re reading a book, genius. Now, was it in character? For what we know of Al, yes. He doesn’t want to kill *innocent people* because that reflects on Priscilla. Was Priscilla a psychopath murderer who just killed without hesitation? No. She acted like that, but we never saw her kill a single person who didn’t deserve it. If you tried reading without the reading comprehension of an ostrich instead of whining 24/7, you might understand. Go ahead and name the innocent people Priscilla and Al killed without hesitation. I’m all ears. Otherwise, take some time to actually develop a brain before you start yapping on a story you heard in a YouTube short.
I wasn’t talking about the innocent. I was talking about murders in general. You’re a clown. Al caused a flood in the 5th arc, killing a huge number of people, and also hacked down the leaders of the city.
she killed a servant of hers because she unknowingly hired an assassin
As a failed imitation of Subaru, Al’s not wanting to kill anyone affiliated with the main camps is a twisted version of Subaru’s heroic reveries of trying to save everyone. Also, we know that Subaru’s presence has a massive (positive) impact on the people around him, and prior to arc 7, Subaru and Al hadn’t spent a lot of time together, so maybe his speech in arc 5 combined with their adventures in vollachia had a net positive impact on him? Lastly, Al is clearly insane, and in real life insane people will take massive illogical leaps to justify their actions, so it’s impossible to rationalize the irrational.
The desire to surpass Subaru at the end of his life is the best justification for it that I have seen. Al said in the 7th arc that he was afraid of disappointing his parents. I didn’t understand it at the time, but now I’m sure he meant Subaru and Echidna. Okay, I’m ready to accept that. Together with Al is crazy it is OK.
I believe Tappei thought that the idea that felt was hostage would be enough for Al’s peace of mind that Rom wouldn’t try anything too bold. Coupled with his mental fatigue/stress after dying what 30 k times ig it sort of makes sense.
0 reading comprehension
That is very true and that’s why i think re zero is inferior to mushoku tensei novel in a big way!!!! The plot of mushoku tensei never until the very end gave rudeus any kind of plot armor…. Infact when on the moments rudeus seems to be winning, his enemies get the plot armor instead of him lol
Both are trash
That’s just bias, in both of them something always happen to save the protagonist, I mean Rudeus survive after getting a hole in the chest…
Not true… It wasn’t a plot armor because the story didn’t built up the fight between him and dragon god at that point obviously the protagonist won’t just get randomly killed in an alteration that came out of no where and then die…. AMD —-“”SPOILER”””—-
In the next season of mushoku tensei Rudeus will again fight Orsted the dragon god and guess what there will be no fucking plot armor because rudeus will get his ass whooped even after months of prepration for that one fight… Even when he has more mana than dragon god and when he have multiple strong people giving there support to him… STILL HE LOSE!!!!! And he lose completely and thoroughly
does that shit happen in anime ever????
Al vs Tappei
Its Al vs Tappei
Plot armor is nothing new to Rezero. Aldebaran is just another victim of bad writing.
He was mentally fried after fighting Rom and in Al’s defense, he had no idea Clind could probably teleport Rom and others. He also probably didn’t want to be wasting time to draw a curse seal on Rom which could lead to more people reappearing to fight Al rather then just flying away on the divine dragon at a speed Rom could never catch or even catch up with normally.
Another reason could be that Al doesn’t want to put curse marks on people he may deem undeserving of them, since he doesn’t put one on felt either. The curse mark may also only be able to work on one person at a time or at least work effectively one person.
Al and Clind met near the Watchtower before the events began. This meeting showed that Al knows a lot about Clind. The battle with Reinhard was much worse. 130,000+ attempts with no progress or visible changes at all. But Al continued to act logically and according to plan, and he thought he was ready to do it again. There are less than 30,000 attempts at a gradual approaching victory with constant progress. A terrible, stupid mistake. He didn’t even accept his powerlessness without finding options. He didn’t think about what had happened at all. This is the same as the characters’ refusal to discuss the destruction of Chaosflame. Bad writing.
Al and Clind did meet but they didn’t fight and there is no way Clind spilt his beans to a stranger he has never met. Sure you can say that maybe Al fought Clind and just looped time to make the fight never happen to gauge his powers but Al never did that with anyone else so that’s unlikely. Al only nearly lost to Rom by losing focus which yes while Reinhard was worse than Rom in total death count, Reinhard was also like a hour ago. Al did use his authority to mentally fix himself up but he probably wasn’t at or close to 100%. But like the old saying, to each their own!
I mean, their meeting made it clear that Al knows Clind’s secrets and is wary of him. He has shown that he knows many things. For example, he knows about Frederica’s unique origin, although even Frederica herself doesn’t know what that means. He knew about Reinhard’s strength even before Reinhard became the strongest and most famous. He knew Ram before they met. At the moment, fans have two explanations for this. 1 – he went back in time from another timeline. 2 – Echidna showed him the future with her authority. I believe the second option. Al didn’t make a mistake in the fight, Rom just turned out to be so cool. Al stated that Rom is more dangerous than Reinhard. And he let go him. Just… If I’m not mistaken, Al spent the day relaxing, resting after Reinhard.
Hmmmmmmmm, well he did know those three things now didn’t he? Great point! In that case maybe Al does know but was betting on Clint staying in a state of resignation like how Petra found him. Also I’m like 95% sure Al did not rest for a day after fighting Reinhard. You may have gotten a bit confused by “Even as the sun rose to mark the beginning of a new day, that battle would not come to a cease.” in chapter 16 but it only says that because Al and Reinhard fought at night.
It was already a problem back then with him sparing Clind just because he suddenly became Batman with his no kill rule disregarding the mountain of corpses in the Priestella battle and Vollachia Gladiator island. He already failed day 1 just by those stupid made up rule. I bet 10 cents that Crusch wakes up now and eliminate Yae because it’s not like she has a no kill rule
Cool… Tappei has shown readers for the second chapter in a row that he approves of Rem’s torture in Arc 2
This is shocking… how? He literally wrote subaru to save her. That alone proves he supports rems action in arc 2. Not to mention, he also had subaru agree to have rem be his second wife
Then it was: it was an accident, Rem is not bad, Subaru need to forgive her. Now: the torture was cute.
Hell, he even he thought tem breaking hos fingers a precious moment got him.
While I am a fan of Otto glaze, realistically he should have absolutely zero ways of harassing the Al party. Not only should they be way more capable of covering ground, and therefore be beyond his reach, all of his potential serious ‘harassment’ should be easily neutralized by Alcanica.
Ok so apparently she doesn’t remember anything during the Wolf Empire so all she get is Emilia’s comment about how she helped others and not the verbal abuse she threw at him. That’s one way to destroy her and Subaru relationship I guess, fuck Tappei
What the fuck are you talking about? Rem? If so you’re a moron, she is swapping between pronouns in this very chapter, so she obviously has Vollachia memories
Rem fans are so dumb. Bro is getting worked over nothing. Tappei is actually way too patient with this cancerous part of the fanbase.
Arrr finally the 3 siblings are back together and chatting. Ram, Rem and Rom..
Drinking rum.
Romjii best grill
FUCK AL FUCK HEINKEL FUCK REM FUCK EMILIA FUCK ROSBITCH FUCK THAT BITCH RAM AND FUCK PRISCILLLA FUCK TAPPEI
I FUCKING HATE how this stroy treats Subaru. It is REPRHENSIBLE. ABSOLUTELY REPREHENSIBLE.
I FUCKING HATE THIS AUTHOR AND THIS STORY FUCK TAPPEI AND HIS DOGSHIT WRITING
How is it mistreating Subaru?
Subaru is dumb as rocks and a pathetic cringelord so he deserves it.
Subaru is a slef insert loser protagonist just like every harem MC. He’s so boring, as boring as a shonen protagonist.
Subaru? Self-insertable? I don’t know who would want to insert themselves into Subaru.
Wrong, 90% of the fanbase does because they love Rem (and to a lesser degree Emilia) and Subaru has both of these bitchez drooling over him. He’ll probably fuck both at the same time at the end of the story but somehow this is no power fantasy. OK buddy. There is nothing deep or subversive about Re zero, it’s just another isekai slop.
The point was about subaru being a self-insert. no one would want to insert themselves into subaru. Since the beginning of the story his life sucks. Even before his first death since getting isekaied.
And about Emilia and Rem… i don’t like them both but that is another topic entirely. And no he doesn’t have them drooling over him. maybe arc 3 rem who begun to add one more person to the people she obsessed besides Ram but that’s it.
Subaru promise to satella that he Will save her no matter what. So please explain about this.
Hey dont throw us rem fans into the gallows just cause haters use her to fan the flames, no one wants to be in anime Dark Soul where the author saves them only to torture them more including rem herself
Let me guess: You love your MCs who are overpowered to the point where no one stands a chance and everyone is infatuated with them to the most biblical extent. Although I do have a slight issue with Subaru being excessively weak in physical attributes(in terms of the re-zero world) and having a broken gate, saying his character and RBD don’t make up for that is crazy.
“everyone is infatuated with them to the most biblical extent” Yeah because that totally doesn’t fit Subaru and his harem lol. Subaru is one of the biggest power fantasy chatacters i’ve seen in my life with the most OP ability which he can abuse to whatever extent he wants and by doing so impresses chicks who loves to drool over his d. Even little kids like Petra are sucking his d and mfs saying this is no power fantasy isekai lol.
Quite honestly, save for Grimgar I never saw any MC as badly nerfed by plot as him. Even the yandere sister isekai with it’s bad end where the sister wins anyway still have a decently capable mc and no way in hell anyone would want to be in his position with his sister constantly come back like as if she’s the Terminator
Talk about how much you hate the author and his story.
Read the latest chapter 3 hours after release.
Classic.
Only someone whos mentally deranged can act this sorry.
I honestly think most of these anonymous hate comments is just one dude trying to get reactions
Nope, we geniunely hate Rezero after arc 6.
Peak
Then don’t read it.
Do you not have anything better to do than to read something you don’t even like?
MF is severely unemployed.
We read it hoping that it’ll get better like the good old Rezero we enjoyed, too bad it doesn’t. After 7&8 i though that tappei could fix some of my problems with the story but he didn’t. Still holding on so that maybe the ending of this arc is good or arc 10 delivers. I know it’s wishful thinking but there is nothing else i can do.
Arc 7 tbf had its moments before the demon city and each time Todd was shown, he was fun to see. Arc 8, yeah. It was not that good but Vincent and Subaru’s conflict were an interesting dynamic
If you go to the extent you do just to whine about the story just drop it already and stop reading something you don’t even like.
I mean, the calculus is absurdly easy: don’t like, don’t read.
If I don’t like chocolate ice cream, I don’t consume. I won’t go to the ice cream shop to scream like a Karen just because I dislike chocolate ice cream.
We only read enough to criticize it lest you say our opinions are invalid just because we didn’t read
Hate when fanboys do that.
If you read it just to whine about it, you are in serious need of getting an actual life.
Imagine reading a +500 chapter story just to be able to whine about it.
It is very simple: you don’t like, you don’t read
>criticize rezero
>”you dont even read it”
>read rezero and criticize it
>”why are you even reading it if you dont like it”
Rezero fans never beating the echo chamber allegations
Nonono, the very problem here is that you are reading something just to complain about it, stop trying to make a lazy strawman when someone is questioning your very motivation for doing something.
If you don’t like something in particular and you have a history of not liking that thing, you don’t consume it just to whine about it.
As the example I put above: imagine you dislike a certain flavor of chocolate ice cream and you go each day to the shop just to trash on ice cream in general and on people consuming it.
I think that people calling you mentally ill and unemployed would be an understatement.
Especially Rem
What are you even talking about?
WCT comment sections are something
We gotta develop some kinda filtering system ffs
Agree….too many piss for brains commentators
Yeah, at the very least we gotta filter the slurs. There was a guy above who hit the triple whammy of using the n-word, the f-word AND antisemitism.
I really don’t get how there are so many consistent haters who nitpick everything
at MOST a combined iq of 7
No wonder Reinhard did not want to speak around his mother when Felt pushed him about it and pushed him out of the room.
Reminder that Reinhard was literally 2 years old when his mom got sleeping beauty’d. There’s a chance he doesn’t even know he’s the one responsible, since Heinkel seems to be actively keeping the truth from getting out.
Bro how old are you
These comments are another proof that re zero fans can’t read.
Really people are pissed because Al didn’t kill Rom… have they read the same novel I read?
Ingnoring the facts that Rom could be used only because of Clind intervention(no way the group could come to the geyser before Al without Clind), Al using his ability far more carefully after Rom incident and looks like Otto going to figure out Al’s ability anyway.
1) Al somehow (from Echidna’s authority probably) knew about Clind and his abilities. 2) There are 2 twin girls in the Felt camp who possess telepathy. One of them was next to Rom. Although the details of their forces have not been revealed. Al knew about them. I didn’t complain that Al didn’t kill Rom. Although during their battle, many people were sure that this would happen. I complained that Al didn’t even try to do anything so that Rom wouldn’t tell anyone later. Al’s whole refusal to kill for Priscilla looks strange fo Al and exists only to make it harder for him.
Al already knew of Subaru’s ability so knowing Clind isn’t a stretch. The part with not slaying the telepaths are dumb though, now info about him spread like wildfire so it will be impossible for him to beat his opponent eventually. His intelligence might not be that bad but his wisdom checks are falling hard ever since Kararagi
He shouldn’t have killed the telepaths. But he didn’t even consider them.
If Petra doesn’t help by telling her about RbD, then Otto won’t know about Al’s authority. He doesn’t have enough necessary knowledge.
Otto can run the same experiments as rom but on a different scale via all the animals in the world ganging up to body Als group (since he decided to follow their group solo and just throw death at them anytime they try to rest) he doesn’t need to be given the info directly, all those animals are crazy for trying to help harass a dragon knowing they get one tapped even if it’s weakened though won’t lie on that part
You did not understand. He has no knowledge of magical techniques. Rom is an extremely skilled general who has studied a huge number of divine protections, killing their owners. He also continued to study the existing divine protections, using Reinhard as a test subject. Without contacting Al, he checked all the existing divine protections that could take place in this situation. When they were over, he remembered that the Sphinx had told him about the authorities. Then he started checking the authorities until he came to the right answer. The authorities in the ReZero world are unknown to almost no one. Otto won’t be able to test the divine protections, he didn’t teach them. Otto doesn’t know about the authorities.
Going through the past few chapters and deleting comments with slurs. Though very few critical conversations in these comment sections are ever respectful or enlightening, the use of slurs is a sure indicator that nothing of value is being said. Also, everyone can tell that you’ve just discovered 4chan over summer break.
Shut the fuck up janny
4chan and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Bro seriously made being a 4channer like a few months, at most a year ago, his whole personality and thinks this makes him cool lol.
Just ban the people that use slurs, it’s going to be much better for the rest of us here who just wants to chill and read actually meaningful (they can be critical but not toxic and disrespectful) comments.
Anyone actually like reading the story here or ?… Damn
I do 😀 (the silent majority does, it’s just the crazy people are way more likely to comment, so over time it becomes more shit)
Tappei needs to stop wanking off his onahole. The half devil says one clueless line and he’s cooming all over the place in the next paragraph.
Keep gooning to Rem 4channer basement dweller.
You and the guy you’re replying to are omega cringe
That’s what browsing child prn on 4chan all day seeing no sunlight does to a mf. Nerds gonna nerd.
add one to the silent majority,
I actually stopped to read them today, it has me very sad, to see people be so rude and callous.
it may sound counter intuitive but hatred makes me very angry to see. I probably wont post a comment for while. much to my silent voices dismay.
It’s just toxic Rem fans. They were always thw most annoying and cancerous part of rhe fanbase so it doesn’t surprise me.
The most unhinged members of the fanbase and of these past few chapter comment sections have been Moblia fans thoughever
Muh remphages
No worries I do, its just that many others around here dont much, dont know if it always been like that since I started reading these around 5 months ago, but the previous chapter’s comments were at least a bit more respectful.
Tappei needs to stop wanking off his onahole. The half devil says one clueless line and he’s cooming all over the place in the next paragraph.
Wording might be crude but you have a point
Except for the fact that trash Rem gets even more glazed than even Emilia at this point despite being useless.
good point. They both need to stop being glazed to high heavens by teppei
Agreed
>the chapters where Rem returns focus on Rem
>this is somehow glazing
Lmao that’s nothing compared to narration saying Emilia cluelessly stumbling upon Sphinx was the most important thing ever, despite that fight getting like no focus at all in subsequent chapters.
Why the heck is Reinhardt still stuck with an “Incomplete” Witch of Envy? I know he’s weakened because of the Miasma but he should still be able to deal with her because he’s Reinhardt. This leads me to think that the Witch of Envy fighting Reinhardt isn’t incomplete after all, well, at least her immortality seems to still be working otherwise Reinhardt should be able to deal with her in a single strike…….or is it that I’m overestimating Reinhardt? A man who can destroy the SUN should be able to deal with that easily, right? This entire fight with “incomplete” WoE makes it seem like Regulus or Reid could beat him in that condition….which really shouldn’t be the case, I think.
Reinhard’s arms are also greatly damaged due to Al hitting them with his railgun
Reinhard has no hands and no regeneration. Sealed Satella has 1% of its magic power available. A battle on equal terms between two of the strongest disabled people. Reid and the real Volcanica would have defeated both combined in their current state in a few seconds. A few more characters would have done it after a hard struggle. Nowhere did it say that Reinhard could defeat the sun. This is an incorrect translation of the author’s phrase. I am sure that the team that defeated full Satella would have defeated full Reinhard. By the way, the author said that without the Dragon Sword, Reinhard is weaker than Volcanica, and that Reinhard’s victory over the Reid is not guaranteed.
But couldn’t Reinhardt just us DP of Phoenix to regenerate after dying? Well, maybe he didn’t think that far, I suppose. Also, thanks for informing me about the misinterpretation that Reinhardt can “defeat” the sun, but I think my point still holds since the author compared Od Lagna to the sun and said he could destroy it, meaning that he could still destroy it and should be able to brute force this WoE, I think. Also, could you please tell me where he said Reinhardt would lose to Volcanica without the Dragon Sword? I understand that Reid COULD win in a fight but not Volcanica….
The author compared Od Laguna and the sun, implying that both are not sentient beings. I don’t know what the author meant. Maybe victory is the only opponent’s death. Maybe Reinhard can be instantly killed infinitely after revivals, before he reacts. Maybe he can be thrown off the edge of the world and not return. Maybe there is a period of time after revival when Phoenix is unavailable, and during this time he can be killed. “If Reinhard is able to use his sword, he can compete with Volcanica” said Teppei. BTW, cool nickname. I dream about moment when Emilia and Beatrice see Puck torturing Subaru and promising to destroy the world. For them to spit in his face and drive him away. It’s a pity that this will definitely not happen. FuckPuck.
The author said Rein vs The Witch of Envy is a stalemate long ago bro.
90% of reinhards strength comes from his constant use of the flow method (tappei said the divine protections being wiped from Reinhard wouldn’t change his strength much once) currently he has almost no flow method (because only miamasa around him and very little mana) so that’s most of his strength out a window plus his arms are disabled so he can’t even use his speciality (he’s relying on random divine protections for buffs only) plus the fact they are supposed to stalemate forever in a 1v1 (aka neither can kill each other keep in mind that doesn’t mean they are even in strength)
Even Emilia fans are admitting defeat. Very sad sight to see.

Mods just ban this 4chan brigader. Most of the toxic spam comments come from him. Better moderation is needed.
Why are emilia fans so toxic man. I didn’t even say anything toxic. Bery sed….
Is there even moderation or rules in WCT? In these last chapters N word, f*g and such were getting thrown around. I mean even having c*nt in your name is too much in my opinion. Hope mods do better moderation but doubt they care enough to do so.
Typical Moblia fan behavior
This comment section got real toxic lately. Really needs some moderation.
Good to see someone agreeing with me. Don’t kmow if there are any rules in WCT but some comments are getting a bit much.
Some slurs getting thrown around because they didn’t get to wipe their ass with a tissue
yeah
I need to see their reaction to Al’s rbd FAST
It amazes me that people in these comments hate on rezero THIS FAR INTO THE NOVEL.
You’ve seen nothing: I’ve seen other fandoms hating on their respective series for things that make sense in context, things that are the natural cnclusion of the story up til that point and even for core things that have explicitly been there from the beginning.
Complainers gonna complain when the story does not follow their personal headcanon.
I think it’s mostly a few trolls posting. Majority is enjoying it only a silent minority is complaining.
This fanbase has been extremely unhinged about which girl they like more ever since Rem’s introduction back in arc 2. That didn’t change when she was in a coma or when she woke up from a coma. Now that she’s back with memories, it’s really no surprise that the floodgates of butthurt have fully opened up.
Is it really buttfurt when they have all the reason to disdain the author for her character assassination arc? Even if she knows everything when she was “awake”, Subaru could very well refuse to even get near her because she said mean words and ruin his seigi no mikata dream. They would have give the author the benefit of the doubt if he was actively hating her “stealing Emilia’s spotlight” . That’s like giving the benefit of the doubt to Aka Akasaka after OnK
I’ll be honest, Re:Zero wouldn’t be this popular without Rem in season 1 but i kind of wish that she wasn’t introduced as a love rival type character seeing what the fanbase turned into.
This is why i always prefer anime and manga with only a single girl as the love interest. Everything else causes some sort of drama, Blue Box recently was the same way. DiMH became among my favs for this reason. No drama no bs just vanilla romance.
I wonder what Tappei was thinking when he created Rem’s character? If he hates her that much for stealing the spotlight from Emilia like some are saying then why create her in the first place? Sounds silly to me. Does he not plan anything in his story?
With the way Rem just got her memories back? No. Big no. No objections accepted.
What does that change?
> No. Big no.
Rem being with another man? No, i don’t want that! 10 years at least!
No drama no bs just vanilla romance.
Thank you! The romance drama is so annoying and a waste of time.
If he hates her that much for stealing the spotlight from Emilia like some are saying then why create her in the first place?
Not only that, but why bring her back to be in love with subaru? Hell, even when she was an amnesiac, she fell in love with Subaru AGAIN? Why write female characters to be in love with subaru if he wants emilia to win?
True that’s what i don’t get about Re:zero. Is he doing this pnly for sales, drama sells obviously, or does he want a harem at the end like MT? To me it seems fairly obvious that Re:Zero is brimming with cliches so never understood the notion of it being original and unique. Adding cliches even though they add nothing to the plot you’re writing is bad writing in my book. But what do i know? Just some random dude giving his opinion on the internet. Maybe Tappei really is a genius and i don’t see it somehow…
>then why create her in the first place?
What the fuck are you even saying?
What is hard to understand about this? If he’s such a big simp of Emilia like most of the fanbase is claiming then why did he create another love interest for Subaru? If he wants no competition for Emilia so no one can overshadow her then he could’ve easily written it in a way where she has no competition. Did he really accidentally turned Rem into a love interest but then regretted that she took Emilia’s spotlight so he put her to sleep? This makes no sense. This can only happen in a story where the author is freestyling and completely making shit up. Which doesn’t fit to Re:Zero at all. Because it’s clear Re:Zero always had an overarching plan. The future trials foreshadow so many events that’ll happen later and those were added to the story as early as 2014 in the WN.
Arcs 7+8 were split into 2 cause Hackpei didnt plan shit.
Hackpei also said he had no plan to go outside of Lugunica.
Some of the trial lines “are now avoided” and don’t matter anymore.
Rem randomly got her memories back offscreen.
None of this story was planned aside from maybe the key twists.
Stop being an in denial ret4rd.
1- She didn’t fall in love with Subaru back while amnesiac, this wasn’t confirmed at all.
2- Introducing characters that are in the way of the main interest of the protagonist creates character conflict even if he doesn’t end up with them, there is no justification for saying that writing no character conflict and just two people falling in love without any friction is superior than the alternative.
Mind you, I would say that you are asking for bad writing.
If Rein was the one to put his mother to sleep shouldn’t he be able to take her out of it? I’m curious as to why he either isn’t able to or why he hasn’t tried to.
We don’t know anything about how it happened yet. But I don’t think that the one who inflicted the wound always can heal it.
He gave a bunch of contradicting info before, I wouldn’t be suprised if that’s not true and Al has to wipe the dragon’s knowledge of Subaru’s RBD just like Petra
I’m sure Volcanica knew about RbD for another 400 years, until Satella went crazy.
Crying is very good for deteriorating mental health. Emilia fans need to take notes.
I had thought that Roy was a measure to stop Satella by wiping Petra’s memories, but now I think it could also be that Al needs to wipe the software illegally uploaded to Volcanica’s dragonhusk.
I don’t think
I don’t think that how it works. If i remember correctly Tappei in a Q&A said that people can know about rbd but when they try to confirm it with Subaru then Satella reacts.
Because Volcanica knows about rbd from al is book it doesn’t matter.
Entonces por qué reaccionó con Petra?
People crying plot armor this, plot armor that; I mean plot armor exist since the beginning of writing, in one scene the 3 musketeer can repel an entire army unscathed and in the next just died by a well placed bullet or sword or whatever. The author have always decide how, when and if the protagonist will die or not
I agree with you exactly.
Oh boy this chapter really confirmed it. Imagine the tears when Emilia sits in the cuck chair and turns into the W(h)o(r)E
What the actual f is this comment. Anyway, I’m gonna steal that last line, thank you
The comments are 3/5 of this chapter huh pretty good ratio I guess the commenting 9 to 5 is going pretty good for some people
It’s so funny how it’s filled with ignorant people who can’t read. I’d say let them; it’s so funny to see the stupid things they say. Long live Tappei and long live RZ.
Imagine sucking up to Hackpei
Cringe comment
Why?
Welp, time to stop reading comments. The comments used to be interesting and had some actual discussions, but now it’s filled with haters without a single ounce of proper criticism. At least when people didn’t like Arc 7, it was for actual good reasons; now it’s just hating for the sake of hating.
Ngl theyr’e pretty funny
You’re gobbling up shit and saying “Chef’s kiss”. Tappei is a fucking hack who writes shit that’s convenient for his abysmal sales.
Why dont you tell us what exactly is wrong with Arc 9 so far? Clearly interest in the series is picking up again and since you like to complain and whine how much the series is “shit” you should probably go read something more suited to your toddler taste which probably includes self fulfillment generic isekai slop.
Lmao jannies deleting replies again. Don’t think I’m gonna retype mine
1 – goodbye mystical detective drama, where the main character explored different sides of other people, changed them and himself, and also learned secrets. Hello superhero action movie. 2 – the author’s insane bias, reaching the point of absurdity. Subaru is skinned alive for crossing the road not at a crosswalk. The narrative even encourages him to masochism. Other characters are completely freed from the consequences of their actions and from condemnation. Previously, Subaru had to grow up and overcome difficulties with his friends. Now Subaru’s friends play on an easy difficulty level and have become uninteresting characters. 3 – events began to happen simply because. For the sake of the plot, the characters behave like complete idiots, and the author spits on logic and canon.
Ok…. thanks for sharing your opinion.
Arc 7 had some of the worst pacing in the series and everyone was tired of the new scenary and no main cast by the 4th volume as well as the lack of meaningful tension since Subaru just ended up abusing the fuck out of RbD and the whole narrative had no stakes with the only meaningful payoff being Priscillas death which took 13 volumes leading to some of the worst readership drop in the series history. Compare that with what Arc 9 is currently and we are heading into the complete opposite direction already
>Compare that with what Arc 9 is currently and we are heading into the complete opposite direction already
WN readership for arc 9 peaked at the absolutely lowest base number of arc 7 and plateaued there for 3 straight months Feb-Mar-April even when
1. The anime was airing
2. Chapters were getting out
3. The anime ended in Mar
It suddenly shot up at the end of May to nearly the highs of arc 7.
So, where did that come from? Don’t be in denial.
rezerodb . com /statistics/readership
The “plateau” was the readership barrier. Something pushed it past that. Without it, the barrier would never be broken. Why? Cause of point number 3, readership didn’t budge even when the anime ended. Spoilers alert if you’re too dumb to figure it out:
novelcom. syosetu. com /impression/list/ncode/302237/no/730/?p=1
Fastest chapter to get to 18 pages of comments, 2nd most ever at the current date. Number 1 is arc 6 ending, with the obvious event that occured.
The natural progression for readership since 2016, and even 2012, has been: Rise->Plateau (or not)->Collapse. It was never Rise->Plateau->Rise again. And so, May stat was the only anomaly.
Tappei shit the bed with arc 7 and 7.5 with boring plots and literal whos. At least in arc 6 we had some mysteries to ponder but everything after that were Tappei’s weakest
Thanks for the translation.
Thanks for the translation.
This arc is going to shit
This shit series has been ruined by Shitpei’s hacky writing He hasnt written a compelling story since Arc 6 or probably Arc 4 even because He loves to drag out the story to the fullest instead of writing things someone wants to read as well as fueling the waifu war shit with Rem outshining the shit written half-devil main character and having to write them out of the story until bringing her back to boost his sales with absolutely no reason behind it other to give the cast a mild headache to let the main villain get away. such an important plot point and executed so horribly even the fanbase is started to get tired of his antics
Funny how the waifu crowd in the comments still arguing anout which shit waifu Rem or Emilia is better when both should’ve died arcs ago. They don’t deserve Subaru.
the thing about emilia, i do agree with you, but then again she’s the main heroine and has many unresolved plotlines with pandora and shit. Plus I don’t think many stories kill off the main heroine in the halfway mark or early on. She still sucks, don’t get me wrong. As for rem… yeah I have no idea why she’s back other than sales. Granted, one could say it was inevitable, (and fans have been waiting for her to return) but then again, it was so abrupt and outwhere that it reeks of teppei’s true intentions.
Part 2
She’s probably going to be there to stir up romantic drama. But like you said, both suck and don’t deserve subaru, no matter how much they do for him in the future
I meant that i hoped both would die because of how annoying and shit they’re. I know that Emilia won’t die as she is one of the main characters. Rem tho has no role so she should’ve already been dead back in arc 3. Teppei only cares for money though so it’s not surprising he did this. He’ll milk this series dry with romance melodrama to make even more sales that’s the only reason Rem is still here as you said, it’s horrible but no one cares because their waifu is back. Who cares about good writing when my waifu is back? Yay!
I meant that i hoped both would die because of how annoying and shit they’re
oh no. I 100% agree with you. They’re both unbearable.
Rem has at least 3 unresolved plotlines. Seems like your reading comprehension has been 0 this whole time.
1. Ram Rem Al since arc 3
2. Dragon slaying
3. Witch miasma detection ability that might involve Capella
Also, Rem’s existence could be linked to Pandora.

sorry for replying here. i wasn’t allowed to reply to their comment. To this person who made this comment, you act as if teppei cared about ANY of these plotlines. If it wasn’t for rem’s popularity, he wouldn’t have given a shit about ANY of these points at all. You’re defending something the author had NO intention of addressing in the first place since he was going to kill rem off forever at the end of arc 3.
3. Witch miasma detection ability that might involve Capella
It’s funny you mention the capella storyline when elsa had a storyline with capella that was NEVER addressed or completed for that matter, yet Elsa is permanently dead
it’s horrible but no one cares because their waifu is back. Who cares about good writing when my waifu is back? Yay!
Shallow and forced writing ftw. Maybe we should give it some time. Maybe after the hype dies down, people will become more analytical and view upon it negatively (it might be a while since we had to suffer with amnesiac rem). It happened to me
He’ll milk this series dry with romance melodrama to make even more sales that’s the only reason Rem is still here as you said.
Well… good thing I know which chapters I’ll be skipping
>Rem has no role
At the very least, she has a role in being the second half of their Volcanica butt-kicking plan (with Ram being the attacking half), a role in helping Emilia stand back up when she crashes out (see her third trial moment at the capital), and a potential role with Capella if Reize’s condition is anything to go off of
Then again, the comments below this one make it clear you were arguing in bad faith from the start, so I’m probably wasting my time saying all of this
Re zero has fallen billions must rbd…
Reinhard is terrible. Regulus was totally right about him.
Fucking jannies man. Stop deleting shit.
Agreed, they deleted some of my best posts last chapter
i havent read comments in here in a long time, holy fuck yall turned toxic lol.
Meh it’s always been like this
It’s just one guy spamming with different names. Don’t mind those trolls.
One guy or those trolls. Which one is it?
Those type of trolls i mean. Maybe there are more than one but it’s likely just one person trolling to hate rezero.
It’s just shit now. You could say a random criticism and a lot would agree.
Shitmilia is irrelevant and forgotten by the masses. Never seen her doing numbers anywhere. No one gives a shit about the bitch so Hackpei should just stop hopping on her dick and inserting her in scenes that she shouldn’t be involved in to suck harder on her dick.
Tappei agrees with the stunt he just pulled
Lol moblia doesn’t sell so he had to bring Rem back. How pathetic.
Why you replying to yourself? No wonder the comments are full of negativity when it’s a handful of weirdos spreading hate. If there was no anonymity it’d be better without these same people writing troll comments. I bet it’s Mushoku fanboys trolling to make their anime look better.
Don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Stop hallucinating.
Great chapter, thank you for the translation. Don’t understand why the comments are so negative. Even arc 7+8 comments weren’t this bad and those were the most controversial arcs. Contrarians can’t stop being contrarians. How can you read ReZero to this arc and chapter if you hate it this much is something i’ll never get.
The hack wasted our time with Vollashita. Now he’s destroying our expectations of the new arc with the hackest level of writing ever.
Because most of Vollachia’s shortcomings were not corrected, and even got worse.
For such a good light novel, This comment section sucks! compared to the comment section in original Japanese site.
Get outta here ya suckers!
If Rezero sucks now, then why are you here? Get lost.
Japanese fans don’t know how to criticise a work of fiction. It’s considered rude in their culture so they can’t say it sucks, they can only praise it. They’ll be satisfied with it as long as they can see their waifu back. They don’t have a high bar in terms of what they expect from a story. It’s more about if they felt happy while reading it or not.
This shit stopped being good years ago
It’s only gotten worse over the years
Another awesome chapter, thank you Tappei
And of course thanks to the translators & WCT!
They are not gonna fuck you buddy
Tappei often calls Rem the “Morning Star”! In astronomy, it means Venus, the goddess of platonic love, who is subordinate to the Moon and Neptune! The hint is clear! In “Christianity”, the “Morning Star” means Lucifer or maybe Pandora!? Why did Klind, who has the authority of “Despondency”, look at Rem with disdain – maybe he sensed the Vanity factor in her?!
The vanity factor is in the witch Pandora…
Please. There’s no way that theory is true. It’s going to be the same bullshit Otto and pandora theory. NOBODY IN THE EMILIA CAMP BESIDES EMILIA IS CONNECTED TO PANDORA!!
Subaru definitely has something to do with Pandora. She drove the White Whale away from Subaru in the 3rd arc. The main fan theory is that she intentionally sends the archbishops to die so that Subaru can collect the witch factors. Otto is the only person with his divine protection who did not die in childhood. He did not appear in Roswaal’s Gospel. He may well lose control of himself at the right moment and do what Pandora needs. In Emilia’s third trial, he wishes he had died.
Are you stupid or something? Only emilia was shown and confirmed. But it doesnt mean “nobody is connected”.
Venus is not the goddess of platonic love. Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and desire. She is not subordinate to the Moon and Neptune. There’s only loose connections. The Moon represents emotions, intuition, the unconscious, and femininity. Neptune symbolizes dreams, illusions, spirituality, and the collective unconscious. Venus may be “transcended” by the Moon (emotional depth) or Neptune (spiritual love), implying Venus is a stepping stone toward higher forms of love.
Morning Star means Lucifer or Jesus. Either fall from grace or the savior. Given this is arc 9, maybe something will happen. Pandora=Jesus of the rezero world is a stretch but might be true.
Clind has Melancholy. Sensing Vanity is a huge stretch.
All of these hinge on Morning Star being intentional for arc 9. Not some background stuff thats already there.
Rem has always been just trash who has no purpose, no pride, no shame! But Tappei, why is Emilia stuck in arc 6? I understand that after the animation of arc 6-9, Emilia will become popular because of the fights! But where is her leadership development?! I know the answer, if Tappei makes Emilia the way the fans want her to be, then Subaru will become useless!
Your answer is incorrect. Tappei has said many times that his priority is for Emilia to be cute to him. He has also said that he thinks a child in an adult’s body is cute. He has already said that he cancelled one important stage of personal growth so that Emilia would not stop being cute to him. Emilia is currently below Arc 6. At this point, all of Emilia’s camp members are actually useless. The moral of Arc 4 about Subaru having to suffer less and share his hardships with his friends has been thrown out the window. Now Subaru has to be a masochist and suffer 1000 times more than his friends, and they are not required to go through any serious hardships at all. Because the author is sabotaging his own story for the sake of his hatred for his protagonist…
Useless cast means useless story. Even Solo Leveling is better than REzero, people say Sung Jin woo carries the whole thing and that makes it a power fantasy but then defend when the same shit happens in Rezero. Without Subaru this novel would be trash. It’s a one man show which makes it boring. Some may even claiam that it’s a power fantasy for this reason.
>after the animation of arc 6-9, Emilia will become popular because of the fights
Yeah, popular in a niche dead fandom in 20 years. What a delusional emiliaphage lmao.
Emilia is the embodiment of a female gorilla in anime form. A piece of worthless turd only there to mindlessly fight. The bitch should be put 6 feet under cause she doesn’t deserve any development at all.
Yeah. Emilia sucks
It’s funny that even the only thing she can do is not her merit. In Arc 6, it says that her combat skills are zero. It’s just that in ReZero, the mana reserve increases physical characteristics, and she has enough mana to destroy the world.
Tappei loves his bimbo. He gives her cheats so she will never have to break a sweat in any situation. Therefore, she will remain an invincible “goddess” until the end of the story.
Rem is useless, this is true. But so is Emilia and everyone else in Rezero. It’s all about Subaru now. Al too but he’s literally Subaru’s copy so it’s the same guy doing all the work. Flugel Al, Subaru everything revolves around them. So it’s all one guy who did all the work. Just like every other isekai nothing can happen without the mc. This makes Rezero boring and shit.
If you look at the anime ratings, you can see a stable pattern: the more Emilia in a season and less Rem, the higher the overall rating of the season! And only in the comments can you hear the squeal of Rem fans!)) You are a minority, but you try to seem bigger! Everyone avoids you and tries to ignore you, because you are the most toxic part of the fandom and just a disgrace to Re-Zero!
The character who holds the most liked tiktok of a rezero character ever, on top the most liked since the beginning of season 3 is less popular. Fun fact: Moblia last saw 500k likes in 2021, Rem saw that last month, and the one aforementioned has twice the number of that. So I guess as Moblia is getting more popular, she should see higher numbers than 2021? NO? Where’s your logic lmao?
The character who won the cutest anime girl of all time in Japan in a poll with 102700 votes in 2022 is less popular.
The character who is so cuturally relevant in Japan, she even has fanmade life-size figures in arcades and a catchphrase that otakus use without even mentioning her name in daily life, is less popular.
The character who has 543 figures in circulation, second behind Hatsune Miku since 2016 is less popular. Her figures are an arcade staple and get bought by even non viewers. The one with only 103 figures (Moblia) despite 3 seasons of screentime is definitely more popular.The character who is the waifu of a billionaire, ranked 1556 in the world is less popular. Also a celeb rapper with 20 million followers and another 10+ million followers Youtuber who is MrBeast’s former best friend. Pretty mainstream, eh?Everything is in the 2nd link.
Everything is in the 2nd link.
Conclusion: Emiliaphages are insecure jealous imbeciles whose opinions are automatically discarded in the greater anime community. The only places they can win are where there are less than 2000 votes and dogshit engagement numbers. Aka the loudmouthed minority.
Bonus: Even your fellow emiliaphages admitted defeat.

Quote: “Recently I went to cons in my hometown in China I saw at least 7 rem cosplayers and zero Emilia… really sad even though I go to take photos together with the rem cosplayers and they were more than nice, I just wish ppl love my Emilia more”
Well, both rem and emilia fans are toxic.
I think that Rem’s fans need to hide under her nightgown, where “Elior Forest” has grown in a year, and get lost there until Emilia and Shaula become so popular in season 4 that no one will care about your awakened Rem! Everyone, except Rem’s fans! I think that after season 4 the main meme will be – “who are Rem’s fans”!
Wait until season 5 lol. The who is rem meme will continue when rem wakes up and asks subaru who is rem.
>Everyone, except Rem’s fans! I think that after season 4 the main meme will be – “who are Rem’s fans”!
Stop using google translate you imbecile. The tears from emiliaphages when all the rem fans who have dropped the series return will be delicious kekw
How to destroy an emiliaphage in the popularity conversation: Bring out numbers and relevant facts. They will all cower in fear and backtrack on their arguments with irrelevant shit.
I seriously advise all emiliaphages to crawl out of their echo chambers and look at the objective reality.
Wait until season 5 lol. The who is rem meme will continue when rem wakes up and asks subaru who is rem.
Mikasa was normal in season 1 until she became just a dumb Eron bodyguard! Rem is just Subaru’s doormat who has nothing but a stupid fanbase! In season 5, your one-horned blue-haired dwarf will be put where she belongs in the trash can! And Emilia is the best girl, always was and always will be!))
Just as I predicted. “They will all cower in fear and backtrack on their arguments with irrelevant shit.”
Rem and Emilia are terrible. Emilia is a terrible character. A stupid annoying doll who can’t do anything but fight. And even that doesn’t have any skills. She’s just as strong as Hulk. She is trying to become a queen, but the author forbids other characters to tell her about her complete unfitness. Rem is a terrible person whose awfulness is kept alive by the script. She mocks the main character. The main character and the author justify it. No punishment. The author finds Rem’s torture cute. To hell with both of them. I like all female characters except Satella and Madeline more than them.
Ngl, if Madelyn killed rem in arc 7, she would’ve been my favorite vollachian character, ngl. I was hoping she would also kill emilia, but neither of these happened, probably cause subaru wasn’t near them
I have a much better option. Puck, who tortures Rem for several hours in front of Emilia, who sees but is unable to intervene. And so that it would not be a failed cycle. Deserved punishment for Rem. A huge personal growth for Emilia. Puck will finally be judged by the only dear person. I will never like Madeline. A bloodthirsty ideological stupid evil nazi who commits genocide against those she considers inferior beings.

You won me over with this sentence alone!
I will never like Madeline
Undesrandable. I just wanted karma for what rem was doing to subaru in arcs 7 and 8. I didn’t care who. Just have it happen
A bloodthirsty ideological stupid evil nazi who commits genocide against those she considers inferior beings
Which is funny since amnesiac rem treated her better than she treated subaru despite madelyn almost killing her
She mocks the main character. The main character and the author justify it.
Same with ram
Rem was acquitted earlier. Ram did not receive an assessment of his actions. The torture of Rem in the last two chapters is already shown to be a good thing…
wonder if rem’s self esteem will take a bit of a plummet from her actions as an amnesiac. Probably not. Hell, in the sloth if, her guilt from running away with subaru didn’t stop her from her self esteem from going up over time… which is odd since arc 2, her guilt was what caused her self-esteem to stay at near rock bottom, but whatever. Her actions as an amnesiac probably won’t prevent her self esteem from becoming better unfortunately. Would’ve made her actions towards Subaru hold weight, but then again, when have they ever besides her good ones
Get the fuck outta here double_test. Stop replying to yourself fucking dumbass. Erica and Kimberley Harris have 90% chance of being your alts. Fucking basement dweller who has nothing to do but spam “I want Rem dead” and constantly agrees with himself in every chapter.
Are they not allowed to hate rem? A lot of people in the comments want rem and emilia to die
There’s no fucking they
Ha! I see you fig! You fucking bitch! Why don’t you go suck a fat dick! The U.S. has a legal age of 18 being am adult, you fucking dumbass virgin
Ha? Rem got to your head HaHaHa. I know you idolize her and can’t get her out of your mind. Follow your heart kekwww
yeah, you’re right. i can’t get her out of my head. I guess when a character you hate so much leaves such a bg negative impression, it’s kind of hard not to
I know you will die in your 80s bawling your eyes out over rem. Might as well start embracing it before long lmao.
Love this love hate relationship. Delicious!
is it 5 stars?
Yeah, of course. Everyone who hates Rem is one person. I’m not even from the USA or Europe…
He himself admitted it you moron
I left a comment that this guy responded to. I don’t know what Kimberly was admitting…
Correction: subaru is rems doormat, and emilias by proxy
I love my doormat cuckquean waifu. She a freak like me fr. Don’t care what any of you Emilia fanboys say. Emilia is boring, she is too pure. Rem is a freak with NTR and raype fantasies. That’s way hotter than anything Emilia has. Don’t care if she has bigger boobs now thanks to the buff, she’s bland and too vanilla. Rem will always be the best (cuckquean) girl.
is this phase over?
idk, it hasn’t been updated for some time now
It’s not over.
it’s not? Huh. it’s sure a hell taking a long ass time
Ram: [After all, Ram is a pathetic older sister who is unable to even keep her composure during an emotional reunion. It’s no wonder Rem would call her sister a crybaby.]
I HATE how the word pathetic is used in the story. In arc 3, rem called subaru pathetic. In arc 4, otto called subaru pathetic. In the sloth if, when rem’s about to give birth and expresses regret and guilt of her past, the narration wonders is subaru should tell her to stop being pathetic. Why the fuck is showing humans emotions/vulnerability makes a person pathetic? It GENUINELY pisses me off because it makes it come off as you have to be an emotionless robot in order to not be called pathetic, which is IMPOSSIBLE. There’s nothing pathetic about showing emotions.
because the writer is pathetic
oh no, 100% he legit got jealous when subaru and emilia kissed in arc 4
So random and stupid
exactly! He’s insane with his obsession towards emilia
Rem has cuck fantasies. She wants Subaru to have sex in front of Emilia and other girls. That’s the reason she’s obsessed. She’s a horny and freaky girl. Just my type, yummy.
She rejected escaping with him in arc 3 for this reason. Tappei doesn’t want to spell it out but harp readers realize her insecurities actually blend into her cuck fetish. Tappei is cliamed to be good at writing pychological depth in characters for a reason. Nothing in this story is there just to be there. All have meaning. Rem is a based NTR enjoyer like her fans. Freaky type that fantasises getting raeped. This is canon btw, it was told us in one of the side stories. Rem is so hot. Not even Prisscilla can compete with her gigantic bazoongers personality>boobs
Tappei is cliamed to be good at writing pychological depth in characters for a reason.
He is HORRIBLE with psychological depth. Subaru is a CLEAR example of this.
Hackpei is a wimp
Why does love always fade?
because bad story telling
Shitty and predictable hack writing
waaah i unfortunately caught up…
I’m interested in how the characters are going to take Rom information from now on, and how Al will deal with it (honestly, I think he’s probably prepared for a situation like this, though the fact that it happened so quickly might surprise him.
And that ending was surprising. I thought Tappei was going to save that information for Heinkel named chap or something. Anyway, his storyline will probably end in this arc. It’s been developing since arc 5, so this is the moment. By the way, I wouldn’t be surprised if Reinhard doesn’t know about that, though I’m not sure.
Al = Subaru confirmed by the latest SS
Fucking hack is never clearing the hack allegations. Everything he writes is predictable as fuck.
Saw this coming like 5 arcs ago. What’s next? Moblia is a Satella clone?
The hack’s shitty writing is gonna add a character in like Arc 11 called Nezumii Ryonyanko and they are gonna be a secret Moblia and Mobtella lover. Watch this prediction come true.
His writing is better than yours will ever be, so in reality you are the hack. Especially since you’ve still been reading it up till this point while complaining lol. That’s a lottttt of reading bud…
You dont have to read to realize the hack wasted reader’s time the past 5+ years milking the series as much as possible to the point most stopped reading. Imagine sucking on Hackpei’s balls so hard you cant see that his writing is subpar bloated and shitty and think he is anything close to being a good story writer while ignoring what happened within the past 2 or so arcs.
Rembros love reading this story because we love cuck pron. I have NTR fetish so i read every Rem NTR doujin put there but it wasn’t enough. I want Emilia and Subaru to have sex in front of Rem while Rem sits in chair. Please Tappei i beg you do this in the canon story and my life will be yours. That would be hot af.
Give me a link, please.
Not a side story, the prologue of next volume.
Came here from arc 6 this was peak.
Was.
This series went to shit so fast after Arc 6
ReZero slowly went down after the 4th arc, but after the 6th arc it very accelerated. The 5-8 arcs combined have fewer plot and character changes than the 4 arc alone.
Arc 4 alone destroys everything tappie ever wrote since and before. Only relevant and important arc for the lore is 4, rest can be condensed and even cut completely yet nearly nothing would change. The pacing is horrible.
Nah. He destroyed his shit in arc 3… even in arc 2
Natsuki tappei is liar he has somehow revived himself
Now he is for blood i would be death tonight bullet in head and soon reincarnated ram or rem whatever he calls it and get reincarnated new body pinkloving my other part as rem and me as ram we both the desired body and mushuku tensei like rudues memory and experience like tonight and I get the sexy bilibili android mama bear robot nastsuki dream about with all the power I wanted which will my second body like daniel park form lookism give mind change body when sleep or shut down depend body. Farewell my friend a I will die painless death and reincarnated tonight.
I have no idea what any of that means, but please don’t die
I hope Rem gets rap3d by big fat juicy black c0 cks.
Oh wait it already happened. When she was asleep defenceless i wonder how many man fuked her with their big dongs ;)))
Tappei is doing fine, the only thing that is drowning now is Rem’s fans!)) Although, no matter how much you drown, you still float, what’s not a sign of shit! Take your made-up ratings and shove them up where your self-esteem is!)) After all, only trash can fall in love with someone who doesn’t love herself!))
It’s this imbecile again. Stop using google translate and learn how to defend your arguments against hard evidence. Until then, cry harder about it cause the Silverhaired Gorilia ain’t gonna fuck you.
I have only one question for the “single-celled” fans of Rem: what did you expect?!! That Rem would return and outshine the main character!? You saw all the openings and endings perfectly well and what the author is leading to in the end! Even the “preview” of the 1st season showed that Subaru and Emilia will be together, this got through to everyone, but not to Rem’s fans!!!)) And that’s why I consider you the most naive creatures in the history of anime!!!
Emilia got gang-banged by ten filthy gorillas, and they left her screaming for more, the fucking animal-loving slut. Funny enough she didn’t tell Cuckbaru bout it lol.
Let Rem win all the World ratings! And become the top-1 girl in anime history! I don’t give a shit about it!!!) Let all anime fans cosplay Rem, I don’t care! I am absolutely sure that in the long run, a girl who is naive and has a goal is better than a girl who is the best in the moment of the 3rd arc, which was created especially for her, and that’s it for Rem!
Bet you love your 12 year old bimbo very much
Rem looks like 12 to the point most even confuse her as a loli. Gonna be honest, only pdos and weirdos would attarcted to that. That’s why i never got her appeal. Loli fans must love her though.
So you like fucking mentally stunted animal cocks loving bimbos. Emiliaf4gs have hit a new low after their fellow’s own admission lmao
As Puck said in the 4th arc – “Rem – you were created only for the 3rd arc, to be a handkerchief for Subaru!)) And also a wheelchair until he recovers! And this is Re-Zero’s best girl? Rem is just a tool to achieve a goal, she’s not even a girl! And you’re not even fans!))
My English is very simple and my sentences are very dumb !))
Teppei tried to give her more character in vollachia. Too bad she was just Ram 2.0
Hackpei “tried” to assassinate her character cause moblia got shat on too fucking hard. He didn’t have any goodwill fucking dumbass.
Fresh. No need to be merciless about it. You are correct however on her assassination of character attempt. Yet people will ficking say she’s better than she was than she had her memories
Rem is cooked bruh. Tappei will fuck her up for having the guts to stand by his waifu. She may even get killed randomly. Would be funny if that happened after all this build up, she wakes up and dies immediately after ))
Bro, I would laugh my head off. That would he awesome. Too bad teppei is too much of a pussy who cares about sales and money
>Tappei permakills Rem
>Sales decline further
>Jap Rembro stabs Tappei in the street
>Tappei shits himself to death in a hospital
>Western Emiliaf4gs cry
>Rem permanently remains the biggest talking point of Re:Zero
>Rem permanently remains the biggest talking point of Re:Zero
Buddy, she already is permanently the biggest talking point, dead OR alive
For the guy who replied to me under Reply #46, the bits about r/anime and such: Read my replies cause I’m willing to talk about it all day.
Finally caught, time to wait for the chapters to build up again and read in one bundle.
The SMART was to do it 😉
You’re as DUMB as emilia so idk what you’re talking about
I wasn’t really an anime fan until I watched Re-Zero! I don’t know about other fans, but Rem fans are just “dirt under Emilia’s fingernails”! I think the best option for you is for Emilia to kill Rem quietly! Otherwise, you’ll get the same fate as Echidna! For a “community” like you, that’s the worst option!))
Bruh stop chiming in every day to leave a google translated comment
