Roswaal Manor.
The early morning sun streamed into the room through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Hmm... A strange ceiling."
Natsuki Subaru slowly opened his eyes. What greeted him was a spacious ceiling, from which hung crystals emitting a faint glow, illuminating the entire room.
Next, Natsuki Subaru sat up and looked around.
He was sitting on a huge bed, large enough to comfortably accommodate five people with room to spare.
This room, nearly ten ping in size, was almost bare except for this exaggeratedly large bed.
"Indeed, everything from yesterday wasn't a dream... I've really transmigrated into the world of Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World."
Natsuki Subaru slapped his forehead, sighing inwardly.
That's right, Natsuki Subaru was a transmigrator.
More accurately, Natsuki Subaru was a two-time transmigrator.
He was originally an ordinary young man from a certain celestial dynasty. One day, he inexplicably transmigrated into Natsuki Subaru's body, becoming this character.
It wasn't until yesterday, when he transmigrated to this other world again, that he finally remembered his original dual identity.
"In short, my current identity is both the protagonist of the novel and a transmigrator."
Natsuki Subaru thought to himself.
Just like a certain high-level double agent codenamed Pangolin, possessing a dual identity.
"However, yesterday should have been a perfect clear."
Recalling yesterday's experiences, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
Relying on his foreknowledge of the plot, he successfully met Emilia and helped her retrieve her stolen insignia.
Of course, many other things happened during that time, such as being harassed by those three thugs in that alley, and Emilia coming to save him.
Also, he helped the fruit stall owner find his lost daughter, then brought Sword Saint Reinhard to save the day, and together with Emilia and others, confronted the Bowel Hunter, Elsa. Finally, Felt and Old Man Rom were taken to the Royal Capital by Sword Saint Reinhard.
In summary, compared to the Natsuki Subaru in the original work, his experiences were almost identical.
However, the only difference was that he cleared it in one life this time, without suffering any harm.
Because he wasn't sure if he, like the Natsuki Subaru in the original work, possessed the ability of Return by Death.
If the Witch of Envy hadn't granted him this ability, then once he died, it would truly be over.
He only had one life, and he wouldn't dare gamble it.
"After all, people die when they are killed!"
Natsuki Subaru thought so.
Therefore, in this world, he must act cautiously and try to avoid any situation that could put him in danger.
However, speaking of which, with his familiarity with the plot of Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World.
Even without the ability of Return by Death, he was confident he could live well in this world.
After all, he wasn't the ignorant Natsuki Subaru from the original work.
He knew the direction of every key event and how to use this information to seek the greatest benefit for himself.
"First, I've safely passed the first day. Next up is..."
Just as Natsuki Subaru was pondering his next plan, his thoughts were interrupted by a slight sound.
Lifting his head, he saw the room door slowly open, and two beautiful figures appeared at the entrance.
"It's almost seven o'clock in the sun, guest."
"It's already seven o'clock in the sun, guest."
The voices kindly informed him of the time.
Seven o'clock in the sun – although he didn't know exactly what it meant, he could imagine it was seven in the morning from the literal meaning.
However, were these two human repeaters?
Why did they speak so synchronously?
Natsuki Subaru looked up at the two people before him, muttering in his heart.
Standing side by side were two twin girls who looked exactly alike.
Their height was average, around 150 centimeters. They had large eyes and peach-pink lips. Their delicate features combined childishness and cuteness, describable as pitiable.
Their hairstyles were short bobs, with their hair parted in different directions, causing them to cover their left and right eyes respectively.
Besides the hair parting, there was also their hair color.
The pink and blue features distinguished them.
That's right, they were Ram and Rem, the oni twin sisters.
Rem and Ram-chan~
Natsuki Subaru, who already knew their identities, showed no surprise and calmly said:
"Although I can get up by myself... still, thank you for specially waking me up."
It was worth mentioning that Ram and Rem wore apron dresses based on black, with white hair accessories. Their specially modified maid outfits, with slender shoulders exposed, complemented their short skirts, clearly outlining their figures and being extremely suggestive.
Even Natsuki Subaru, who wasn't well-versed in maid outfits, knew that this attire must reflect the designer's old-gentlemanly tastes.
Especially the chest area, with a large hollowed-out section revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin, made Natsuki Subaru unable to resist looking twice.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Rem's chest seemed a bit larger than Ram's.
If this continued, his future children wouldn't go hungry.
After all, Rem was his second wife in a certain branch of the original story...
"Oh no, sister was just mentally subjected to lewd humiliation by the guest."
"Terrible, Rem was just forced to endure the limits of shame in the guest's mind."
"Please spare me, guest. Please let Rem go, just insult sister."
"Stop it, guest. Let Ram escape, just humiliate Rem."
Perhaps sensing Natsuki Subaru's strange gaze, the two maids, Ram and Rem, looked terrified, releasing their held hands and instead clasping each other's.
"Ahem..." Natsuki Subaru cleared his throat, feigning composure, and said with a straight face, "Don't you two talk nonsense! I haven't done anything, I was just purely admiring your maid outfits."
"Guest, your eyes don't look like you're purely admiring."
Ram snorted softly upon hearing Natsuki Subaru's explanation.
"Yes, the guest's gaze is quite intense."
Rem also nodded, her expressionless face carrying a faint hint of mockery.
"Don't you dare wrong me! I'm a very respectable person, how could I have improper thoughts about you? It's pure slander!"
Natsuki Subaru puffed out his chest, speaking with an air of righteousness.
Although he did have some improper thoughts, he would absolutely never admit it.
"Guest, your words aren't very convincing."
"Yes, the guest's expression is quite suspicious."
Ram and Rem stared intently at Natsuki Subaru.
This made Natsuki Subaru feel a wave of pressure. He subconsciously tugged at his pajamas and quickly changed the subject:
"Ah, right... Miss Maids, I need to change my clothes, so could you please leave for a moment?"
"Let's go, sister."
Rem gently tugged Ram's sleeve, her voice returning to calm.
"Let's go, little sister."
Ram nodded and turned to leave the room.
After the two left the room one after the other and the door gently closed, Rem whispered to Ram:
"Sister, do you really think he's just an ordinary guest? His behavior... it feels a bit strange."
"Mm, although he pretends to be serious on the surface, those lewd thoughts are already written all over his face. What an unpleasant fellow."
Ram tilted her head slightly, glanced at the door behind her, and then calmly said,
"However, he is a guest brought back by Lady Emilia. We should treat him well."
"Understood, sister."
Rem nodded lightly and responded in a low voice.
As the two continued walking, Rem spoke again: "Sister, what should we prepare for breakfast today?"
"Just follow the usual menu." Ram said, gently adjusting her hair accessory, then added, "However, remember to prepare an extra portion, since there's an additional guest."
"Okay, sister." Rem nodded.
Meanwhile.
Natsuki Subaru stood in the room, sighing in relief. Rem's slightly cold yet undeniably cute face appeared in his mind.
"Rem in a maid outfit is indeed very cute. If true love has a color, it must be blue. As expected of my wife from a certain side story, truly wonderful!"
"However, as cute as Rem is, she doesn't hold back at all when it comes to killing me."
Natsuki Subaru shivered at the thought of Rem swinging her flail.
"So, how should I clear this second playthrough?"
Natsuki Subaru rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought, his mind rapidly recalling the various plots from the original work.
It's important to know that his current situation wasn't optimistic. Although he knew the plot like the back of his hand, this world didn't completely follow the trajectory of the original work.
Every detail could change due to his intervention, and he wasn't sure if he possessed the heaven-defying ability of Return by Death.
So, he had to stay steady and absolutely not act rashly like his original self.
He remembered that Rem in the original work held great hostility towards him and had killed him several times.
After all, Rem's initial hostility towards Natsuki Subaru was almost ingrained in her bones.
Especially when she mistakenly believed Natsuki Subaru was a spy from the Witch Cult, her merciless attacks were simply terrifying.
"Speaking of which, Rem shouldn't be that hostile towards me right now, right?"
Natsuki Subaru thought to himself.
After all, he had just arrived in this world and hadn't done anything to arouse her suspicion.
But even so, he didn't dare to be careless.
Rem's intuition was terrifyingly sharp; the slightest misstep could arouse her suspicion.
"And Ram isn't a pushover either..."
Natsuki Subaru sighed slightly, remembering Ram's slightly mocking gaze and venomous words.
Although Ram appeared gentler than Rem on the surface, her thoughts were equally deep.
As an older sister, her protectiveness towards Rem was extremely strong. Once she sensed any threat, she would definitely not be lenient.
"And then there's the Bowel Hunter, Elsa..."
That dangerous woman appeared in Natsuki Subaru's mind again.
Her appearance almost always meant bloodshed and death, and Natsuki Subaru didn't want to face that homicidal maniac.
"This is really a bit troublesome..."
Natsuki Subaru rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
He had to quickly formulate a detailed plan to survive in this dangerous world.
Just then.
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Natsuki Subaru's mind.
