The emotions brewing in his heart, perhaps they became too impossible to bear.
With his round eyes, Puck gazed deep into Subaru, and with an [I understand], he stretched his little body.
[Puck: I said something inconsiderate, sorry, I shouldn’t have said it. Instead of this… Let’s talk a bit about “Gluttony”]
[Subaru: …talk? What will that do now?]
[Puck: If you learn the nature of the thing that ate this girl’s “Name” and “Memory”, perhaps there is hope of fulfilling your wish, after all]
Jumping at those words, Subaru’s face flung up. Seeing this reaction, Puck nodded, then he turned up his small pink nose as if searching for a memory.
[Puck: “Gluttony”‘s Authority, to put it simply, is eating. When he eats a person’s “Name”, all memories about this person is taken, and when he eats a person’s “Memory”, that person’s own memories are taken. If both are taken, then the person becomes an empty shell. An empty shell won’t do anything, and could not do anything. This girl’s condition, is just that]
[Subaru: “Name”… “Memory”…]
Crusch’s memory. Rem’s memory and name.
Such is the effect of Gluttony’s Authority.
[Subaru: After killing the Sin Archbishop “Gluttony”… will the memories return…?]
[Puck: Ah, what would happen? Throw up everything that’s been eaten… even though I don’t like to think about it, is that something that can be done? You’ll need to ask the man himself…]
[Subaru: But the possibility exists, doesn’t it!? Rem’s memories, the possibility of retrieving Rem’s memories…!]
Turning back… Rem is still deep in her slumber.
Still softly breathing. Her heart was beating. Her body is still alive, only her memory, and her name, were eaten by a fiend.
[Subaru: Sin Archbishop Gluttony —I will absolutely annihilate you]
[Puck: Even though I still think it’s not that simple…]
Puck’s last few words didn’t enter Subaru’s mind.
Subaru, right now, is defending that final fragment of hope like the very last bastion in his heart.
–
—When he arrived in the Capital, he found Rem after the attack, and when he knew all was lost, without a shred of hesitation, Subaru stabbed a dagger into his own throat.
What he felt at that moment, he could no longer remember. Everything had turned out so perfectly, so perfect beyond everyone’s expectations — But the truth is, throwing it all away in that instant, none of it mattered to him.
If he lost Rem, if it meant walking into a future without her, no matter how many times he must endure that pain, he will —— Only this, Subaru clearly remembers.
Penetrating his throat, in blood, pain, searing heat, and loss, he lost all consciousness.
When he woke, what he saw was Rem lying in a bed.
The save point had moved forward. The place of return had changed. Subaru saw hell, and only hell.
Again! It must be some mistake, he must kill himself again… But Subaru hesitated. He was not afraid of pain or death. But he realized…
…Even if he returned to the previous save point, he could not save her.
At the save point before the battle with Betelgeuse, after the the battle with the White Whale, Subaru and Rem had already went in separate directions for several hours. It is too late to catch them before the ambush. But even if he could, Emilia will be abandoned. And even if he sent the expedition to Emilia with the plan and rushed to the ambush, how will he defeat two Sin Archbishops?
To defeat Betelgeuse, Subaru’s presence is indispensable, and Emilia’s escape cannot be managed without Wilhelm’s protection.
To sacrifice Emilia to save Rem, or to sacrifice Rem to save Emilia —Without sacrificing one or the other he couldn’t save anyone at all.
Faced with this impossible choice, Subaru lowered the dagger from his throat.
Unlike being erased by the White Whale’s mist, though forgotten by all the world, Rem’s body remains here. Beside her, unable to do anything, he merely sat there in a daze…
–
But that time spent in cruel futility ends here. It ends now.
Holding Rem’s sleeping hand, Subaru confirmed his resolve. Of one thing he is certain,
—I will
[Subaru: Retrieve… Rem, I promise… I will retrieve your memories]
It was a promise. That right in front of your eyes, the man you fell in love with, will become the greatest hero the world has ever seen.
We are still half way on that path, aren’t we?
[Subaru: I promise… Your hero will come for you. Wait just a little longer]
Lifting his face, teeth bared. It was a declaration of war.
The fiends shall regret the day they laid hands on what is sacred and inviolable.
For I, Natsuki Subaru, shall bring punishment upon you.
[Subaru: I will —I promise I will!]
In the days starting from Zero, I can no longer endure a single one without the thought of you by my side.
So I must retrieve…
The days that are lost, the days I have walked with you, and all the days I will walk with you again… With my own hands, I swear I will take it back once more!

There’s something that got me scared, i’m asking myself the next question:
What if after all the arcs, when the final confrontation between Subaru and Ley Batenkaitos arrives, he says that she could not be saved? I don’t think i can endure if, when all this story finishes, Rem dies( Like for example when Gon tries to sabe Kaitou in HunterXHunter). I love Re Zero, and i love Rem, but just please don’t kill her.

What I don’t understand is why Subaru has not contacted Felt and Reinhardt all this time. I know that Reinhardt was busy at the beginning of the whole loop with the white whale and Betelgeuse but at least speak to felt or something so that they can work together. I mean surely she didn’t forget what they went through together at that old mans house so she might accept.
From the knowledge we have so far about Reinhardt (and apparently the author stating that he is the strongest character including deceased) then he could wipe out all the witch cult with ridiculous ease.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I think it’s only been less than a week from Whale battle to now. So Reinhardt is till busy wherever he is, and Felt might be with Reinhardt?
We will get to see Reinhardt in future chapters and he’ll play a pretty big role I think.

I have a question , but it is for a previous chapter ( 4/6 ) .
When Fellis said to Subaru a phrase that was something like this ”do you think this is a fantasy world” ( not exactly the words ) Wilhelm stopped him , and called him by his real name Felix , saying that he should not say this again in frond of Subaru .
Is there an explanation for this moment ? If there isn’t , then my speculation is that they know that they are in a fantasy world !? But this seems unlikely .
LikeLiked by 1 person
It’s explained retrospectively. That’s how the author narrates it.
Wilhelm tells Ferris to stop saying that there is no hope of recovering lost memory in front of Subaru.
This is because Wilhelm saw that Subaru was squeezing his hands so hard that his hands are bleeding.

Hey Dominik,
Because I have a background in Chinese, I can already understand 30-40% of Japanese just by looking at the Kanji. I use a translation tool for all the vocabulary of non-Kanji. Then afterwards I go through the text word by word to double check.
I can easily understand written Japanese this way, but I cannot speak Japanese verbally. 🙂

This is just a suggestion, what if only one day every week (like how we have one chapter of a manga per week) you post everything you have translated during that week? Separating a chapter into several parts that are really not that long, could make it difficult to read bc you have to go from page to page to read the other parts and it might be much more pleasant to read it all at once in only one post. Do you know what I mean?? Also, thank you very much for all your hard work!

I agree with Evaworu, posting once a week everything you’ve translated that week would make it easier for both you and us the readers.
It would be easier for us as the content would be longer and therefore easier to follow (when released in shorter parts like this, it’s easier to forget what happened in the previous one). Think about it as if it was a Manga chapter release!
I also think it would be more comfortable for you as it would make you feel less pressured…but hey, at the end of the day it’s your decision, whatever you choose we’ll still be thankful for the amazing work you’re doing!

Hi there!
I just wanted to say something from the depth of my heart: Thank you.
Thank you for relieving the pain of us Re:Zero fans who are depressed because the anime has ended, having nothing to look forward to after a long week of work.
I know that the amount of work you had to put into this is tremendous, that it took away your free time, considering that you also have your main work to earn a living too.
I just want to tell you that, in the future, there will be hard times in this translation work. Some people will complain because you might not be able to deliver your translation sometimes. Some people will say things that make you want to give up, and so many other things… But please, in those hard times, remember that there are always people like me who respect you and will always support you, who will be really sad if you gave up and drop the series. Whenever you feel like giving up, please remember all the fun of the days when you started.
Because “it is easy to give up, and giving up doesn’t suit you.”
Please always remember that I respect you so much for your work, sir.
Donation is on its way. Monthly (along with my salary).
Please have a good day !

Hey chicken sama it’s me again just saying man love you’re dedication and I advertised a shit load about you everywhere! Anyway dude you’re hitting if off with the amount of content so much so, I think it would be wise to start organizing things. Super simple all you have to do is has a homepage like now just with category’s like.

Translation is a tough job, and when you do it voluntarily, it’s a praise-worthy effort.
You’ve done an awexome job, and the community is undoubtedly grateful and richer thanks to what you’ve done.
This might come off as standoffish, but know that there are people like me who doesn’t comment often, but are immensely delighted that you took on the mantle of this work. For that, I thank you.
Now, as a translator myself, I would like to ask you a few questions of my own.
I sometimes translate parts of VNs, One-shot Manga, other WNs on my own, but as you probably know, progress is slow.
What pipeline are you using in translating in WN? Do you have an editor or QC as well perhaps?

Hi, once again!
I guess compiling all the translations you did for the week might work too. As many have suggested over here already, I guess it all comes down to the organization. It is just a suggestion like everyone else’s. Maybe you can release content twice per week or once per week or keep doing what you are doing but also compile it all into one post?
Thank you once again for your hard work. It means so much to me!!! Thank you!!

Not at all! You deserve to be rewarded for your work. The only way we (the readers) can pay you back is by posting heartfelt comments and supporting you through donations. However, if you add ads the ones who cannot afford to donate you money will be able to still support you through viewing your ads. This not only gives an incentive for YOU to continue your work but also gives us another option to support your work. We are the ones that are in your debt, not you :). There’s nothing for you to feel “grateful” for, if anything we’re the ones who feel a bit ungrateful due to the limited supporting options. No one is going to be angry because you put ads on your website, and if they do they are the greedy ones for not even being able to pay your kindness. and your effort.

it almost feels like Rem is the female protagonist and not Emilia. Rem has grown so much in all of us that I still consider Emilia a side character. What subaru has done until now for Rem and will do for her later on I still cant understand how is Rem not the female protagonist

Thank you very much for this HUGE effort in translation. I’m trying to learn Japanese and I’m a translator myself (the easy stuff, legal and technical matters only, have attempted some poetry for personal, not professional reasons) and have trained at college down do PHd as literary critic. That’s not to buff my ego, but to say I have a VERY good idea of the effort you’re putting into this translation, and I must say it’s great! Even though I cannot read the original, your text feels natural and at the same time, not localized (something I really hate about anime, manga and LN translations is localizing – having somebody like Miyuki from Mahouka Koukou no Retousei, for example, calling her brother by his first name, instead of Onii-sama (Older Brother with capitals might be an acceptable solution, but even so it doesn’t contain the extra information that she has a crush on him) really detracts from her character to an unbearable degree). So, all my thanks and professional congratulations to a brave, wonderful and very competent effort at translation. I wish people like you got paid by publishers so we could have good LN translations in the West. Once again, my sincerest thanks, and I join you in “sob-sob-sob” for Rem. As I said when commenting about the anime episode 25, for me, despite liking the character, ten Emilias are not worth half a Rem.
