Chapter 6 - Back on Track

[[]]

If he killed Subaru before...

Rem bit her delicate tongue anxiously, while Natsuki Rem nervously scratched her fair arm.

Unimaginable...

[[]]

"Hey, wait a minute! You've got me all wrong! Please!"

Subaru ran towards Emilia to clear up the misunderstanding, cursing inwardly:

"Can't anyone be a little nicer to me? What the hell was the reason for summoning me to this other world?"

[[]]

Can't anyone be a little nicer to me?

Yeah, who could be nicer to him?

After seeing Subaru's past experiences, Emilia and the others feel like their previous kindness to Subaru was insignificant.

[[]]

"Crap... a wall?!"

Subaru ran into a dead end in the alley.

[[]]

"In this loop, Emilia-sama didn't save Barusu, and went straight to Felt. Subaru naturally couldn't catch up with Emilia-sama and Felt, who can use magic and have the wind's blessing, so... he lost them."

Ram rationally analyzed the situation.

[[]]

"I could climb over... but I don't think I can catch up with them. So, if I can't catch up here, should I go to the loot warehouse? Since Satella and Felt are still alive, then Old Man Rom should be too..."

Subaru muttered to himself. Even though he didn't know the situation, he decided to go to the loot warehouse first.

Just as he had this thought, the familiar faces of Rachins, Gaston, and Camberley appeared once again.

[[]]

"Ah... as expected. Those three idiots."

Felt said softly.

[[]]

"Give me a break! There's a limit to how much you can fail to learn from your mistakes!"

Subaru yelled at them.

[[]]

"Speaking of which... boss hasn't realized his ability yet... that's a bit..."

Garfield chimed in.

"Stupid."

Ram added flatly.

No one denied Subaru's suffering, but at this point, the sheer fact that he hadn't figured out 'Return by Death' yet was downright facepalm-worthy.

Seriously, by the second or third loop, most people would've caught on, right?

[[]]

"Hey, kid, what are you doing?"

The small Camberley put his hand on Subaru's shoulder, seeing his dazed expression.

"Get out of the way. No matter how you look at it, I don't have time to deal with you. I need to go confirm something right away."

Just now, Subaru had intended to give in, but he was completely stunned when he saw the corn potage-flavored snack in his pocket because in his memory, Old Man Rom had already eaten it.

Subaru pushed Camberley away, only to be intercepted by the remaining two.

"Hey, you, be honest with us!"

Subaru said with a hint of anger:

"Get out of the way! There's a place I have to go see."

[[]]

"Looks like Natsuki has finally noticed something."

Anastasia said, watching from beyond the screen.

"Ah! Subaru!"

Julius watched Subaru on the screen.

[[]]

"Ugh!"

Subaru wanted to go confirm something, but a sudden strange feeling in his waist made him look back.

Rachins stabbed a knife into Subaru's waist.

"Hey! You stabbed him!"

"Well... it can't be helped, if he escapes outside, wouldn't things get out of hand?"

The tall Gaston turned Subaru's body over, driving the knife deeper into his body.

"Stop it, you idiot! This is no good. If you damage his abdominal organs, he'll die, hey!"

"...Find... something... valuable..."

"Guards..."

The voice gradually blurred and faded away.

Subaru died once again.

[[]]

Wasn't this death a bit...

Priscilla frowned, looking at the screen with disdain.

"Ah, bro, you this..."

"Hey, wait, do I have the right to laugh at him?"

Al thought.

Had he ever died so foolishly before?

...

Forget it, he's died too many times, he can't remember, he won't think about it.

[[]]

"Hey, young man, wanna buy some appa?"

A familiar voice came. Old Man Kadomon asked Subaru.

"I can't even finish walking this road, I'm such a wimp."

Seeing Subaru's irrelevant answer, Kadomon frowned.

"How many times have you seen my face?"

"Huh? What do you mean by how many times? This is our first time meeting. I won't forget your obvious outfit and fierce eyes."

"Don't mention the eyes. By the way, what's the date today?"

"Tammuz Month, the fourteenth. Halfway through the year."

"Oh, thank you. So it's Tammuz Month."

"So, young man, want some appa?"

Then, Subaru put his hands on his hips and confidently replied:

"Sorry, I'm an infinitely poor guy!"

"Get lost if you're not buying!"

[[]]

"Sigh."

Beatrice rubbed her head, feeling both sorry and helpless.

"Really, he finally realized it. Stupid Subaru."

[[]]

On the screen, Subaru finally realized his power—

"Return by Death."

In the scene, Subaru is organizing information next to the appa stand.

"First of all, me, that is, well. Every time I die, I return to the initial state, more formally called 'time rewind'... let's call it 'Return by Death'.

Then... since I can rewind time, that means Satella didn't come to help me in the 'fourth loop', which means all the favors I wanted to repay are canceled.

In that case, I'll forget about those crappy things, sell my phone to get some starting capital, and use my modern knowledge to live a comfortable life in this other world."

[[]]

"Ah... no."

A conflicting feeling filled Emilia's heart.

If Subaru had really left at that time... that would have been better, he wouldn't have encountered so many things...

Even though that's what she thought, but...

She didn't want him to leave.

I'm really selfish, aren't I...

"Subaru-kun..."

Rem and the others also deeply agreed.

[[]]

"...But, there are also good guys who will save people even when they are in danger..."

Subaru said.

But isn't that you... Subaru.

"Even if Satella doesn't know me, Felt steals the insignia, and then Elsa that guy... this won't change no matter how many times I redo it, is this historical inertia..."

Subaru stood up and ran towards the alley.

"Knowing that the people I once knew are going to be killed, I still... can't leave it alone! This time, I'll try my best to at least get her to honestly tell me her name!"

[[]]

"Subaru..."

Emilia covers her mouth with her hand.

The memory of that scene was still fresh in her mind, it was the first time she met Subaru in her eyes.Subaru is really, too easily satisfied.

He put in so much effort, just wanting to know my real name.

"This guy is really gentle."

Felt said.

[[]]

"Here, should be the place where I first met the fake Satella?"

Subaru found the alley by asking the appa stand owner and wandering around.

"After all, it's a completely different place from the dead end where I was killed the third time—ah."

"I'm tired of seeing your faces, dumb, dumber, and dumbest."

[[]]

"Ah? Haha, this guy really guessed their names right."

Felt couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, I didn't even realize it. dumb, dumber, and dumbest, haha."

Al laughed as if he had heard a joke.

Those three familiar faces came again.

[[]]

"It's so difficult to meet the fake Satella and Felt."

Subaru couldn't help but complain.

"This completely unexciting guess came true. By the way, what do you guys want this time?"

"What's that guy been muttering about since just now?"

"He must be confused, so you should tell him."

At this moment, Subaru lowered his voice and shouted loudly:

"Guard —!"

"Someone, come quickly—call a man over here!"

[[]]

"Doesn't that voice sound a bit like..."

Emilia was stunned.

Although the voice wasn't exactly the same, it was indeed somewhat similar.

"Doesn't that sound a bit like... Miss Natsumi? It must be a coincidence."

In the scene, Rachins, Gaston, and Camberley fell into a panic, and Reinhard also immediately remembered. Reinhard raised his voice:

"Everyone, this is the scene when I first met Subaru, which means..."

[[]]

"...It ends here."

That dashing, red-haired young man made a brilliant appearance.

[[]]

"Finally back on track."

Anastasia smiled and supplemented Reinhard's words.
