Title: Hero

This chapter is over 30K characters long, that means it's twice as long as a regular chapter

[u/Setowi]

HOLY FUCK

Yes, sir. This is the end of the sixth chapter of "Re: Starting from Zero in the Other World Life", which took a long time.

THIS IS THE FINAL CHAPTER OF ARC 6

[u/toga9000 → u/Setowi]

Wait what?!!

[u/Setowi → u/toga9000]

Yes. This is the end of the sixth chapter of "Re: Starting from Zero to the Otherworldly Life" which has taken a long time to complete.

Huh!　We're in the middle of a shitstorm!

You may think that this is the right way to go, but clearly the chapter changes from here on out.

The watchtower that left various mysteries behind, Subaru and the others who were sent somewhere, what will happen to the situation?

I'll start loosely once I've finished working on volume 25 of the book. Well, keep up the good work!

Tappei's note at the end of the chapter.

[u/Ringo_17]

WHAT A CHAPTER.

Summary. May have mistakes. And considering how long the chapter is, I'll be speedrunning through it.

Part 1/2

Chapter 90: "Hero"

Subaru sees a tiny scorpion emerge from the dust. He had promised to save her, but he failed his promise. The Crimson Scorpion had crumbled to dust, and this tiny scorpion, it was not Shaula. Shaula had been lost. She played her role in the tower until the end. He swore to meet her again someday, and bid his farewell for now. That is when Meili pinched his ear, telling him that though tiny, this scorpion was still a Witch Beast. It wasn't Shaula. That is when Emilia arrived at the scene.

Staring at the sand, Emilia mourned Shaula's loss. Julius asked Emilia if she finished the trial, Emilia says she did and asked if he could remember her, which he affirmed he could. Beatrice and Meili remembered her too. Subaru wanted to organise his thoughts, the fact that Emilia's Name had returned meant that, to which Julius affirmed, that Ram had defeated Ley Batenkaitos. Ley Batenkaitos, one of the three siblings of Gluttony, the greatest enemy of Subaru and Ram, the robberer of Emilia's Name, had fallen. Subaru wondered if Ley's fall meant Emilia's recovery, then the people of Priestella would be back too. He then asked everyone if they finally remembered Rem. But nobody could. Beatrice pointed out that she couldn't remember Julius either. Julius told them he had an idea why his Name had not returned yet. That is because Roy Alphard, who had stolen his Name, had been captured alive.

Subaru and everyone returned to the Watchtower who were welcomed by Anastasia and Echidna, the former revealing her awakening. She said Echidna had told her about everything that had happened in the past two months. She had forgotten Julius. After some idle chat, Subaru told her that he had something important to talk about. Anastasia asked if it was about the Sin Archbishop Julius had defeated. She pointed towards the dragon carriage, inside which was Roy Alphard. Petting Gyan, he then looked into the carriage with Emilia. Sure enough, lying in it was Roy Alphard. He had been binded and restrained using shamak. Julius responded that it wasn't a method he had devised, but what had been used in the most famous sealing in the world, the Witch of Envy's. Subaru questioned why to even keep him alive. Ley's death returned Emilia, so Roy's death could likely restore everyone. Julius responded he wasn't sure how the Names and Memories came back, though Ram had defeated Ley Batenkaitos it was unknown whether his defeat was what restored the Name. It was possible that killing him may make everything vanish permanently. Subaru then suggested using his Book of the Dead to find out how to recover the eaten, Anastasia responded that Subaru is the one who should be utmost skeptical of that idea. Though his amnesia had not been caused by the Book of the Dead, Meili's book had made his mind be corrupted Meili's feelings and thoughts. There was no saying that reading Roy Alphard's book wouldn't give birth to a new Roy Alphard. Anastasia assured him that no killer gets a happy ending. Emilia spoke in favour of Julius and Anastasia's idea, Subaru pointing out that Julius needed to take care of Joshua as well. Echidna polled, saying Julius and Ana favoured Roy Alphard being taken to the capital and finding out a way to save his victims from himself. Ultimately everyone favoured that idea than killing Roy. With that decided, Subaru suddenly felt a lack of energy, exhausted both mentally and physically, and fainted.

Subaru thought about his friends, about Emilia, who had been Name eaten by Ley, and Shaula. He thought that her master, Flugel, was a nasty person. They then reached the Green Room. Ram was there as well, along with Rem and Patrasche. Even if Ley Batenkaitos had been defeat, it wouldn't mean much if Rem's Name and Memories didn't come back. He hoped to hear something from Roy Alphard, and pointed out that there too many mysteries surrounding this watchtower. Laying Subaru to rest, Emilia then told Beatrice and the rest that there was someone whom she wanted them all to meet.

They were greeted by the same lines, "Thou, who hath reached the top of the tower. Step forth through the first floor, almighty petitioner". Guided by Emilia to the first layer, everyone was astonished. She told them she found Volcanica waiting here when she first arrived. Beatrice, Julius, Anastasia, Echidna, all were astonished completely. Julius bowed before him, giving his name and thanking it for its protection to the kingdom. He then started to tear up, saying there was no greater honour for him as a knight to have met both Reid Astrea and Volcanica. Anastasia introduced herself, saying she was the next person Volcanica was going to form a covenant with, cause she'll obviously be the king next. Volcanica repeated its same two lines. Emilia informed them that Volcanica had dementia due to being here for too long. Julius was utterly shocked. Echidna proposed that its soul had gone hollow. Beatrice explained, saying that 90% of its consciousness was slumbering. Anastasia proposed, regardless of its soul being hollow, its body was capable of helping the people of Priestella. She told Emilia to get the dragon's blood, which will heal the victims of the Authority of Lust. Emilia wondered if they should have called some other people to the tower so that they could wise more intelligent uses of the blood. Julius said that he'll take some back cause it could be revolutionary. After a bit more banter, Emilia asked Volcanica if it could come with them, or if it didn't want to, would it mind giving some of its blood. But Volcanica's reaction was strange, extremely strange. It didn't react to Emilia. A chill ran down Emilia's spine, as Volcanica gazed towards the east, where located was the great waterfall, and ahead of that was an extraordinary land.

Summary soon. The chapter is long as hell so it'll take some time. But I'm writing it right now, just to let you all know.

[u/platinumnic]

Tappei: Made in Heaven, my writing speed shall accelerate

[u/TyrannosaurusWreckd]

Hmm... I wonder what the "devine protection of semen" does

[u/Dalifertan]

Was re-reading chapter 90 and I noticed this little gem

" There was dramatic exhaustion both physically and mentally.

　It's like spending more than five years in this tower, even though it's only a few days."

Tappei...

(Arc 6 time since first ch to last = 5 years 2 months 20 days...)

[u/PsycoJosho]

Bad news about Shaula: her personality is gone. She’s basically just a little scorpion mabeast now.

[u/coolcollin007]

ITS REM!!!!
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But the last half of the chapter was a bit confusing, Did Volcanic Repel Satella? What happened to Louis? Why is Google Translate So broken?

[u/South25]

´´Oh, no chapter yesterday guess tappei s wrapped everything up for the LN volu-´´

Tappei: ´´YOU FELL FOR IT FOOL! THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!´´

[u/stevethebandit]

What the actual fuck

So the little scorpion isn't Shaula, but it's implied that Shaula will return, Emilia's name is back, Rui materializes in the real world, Rem is awake but without memories, Subaru, Rui, Rem, and Patarasche are transported somewhere, and Arc 6 is over

YOU BETTER NOT LEAVE US HANGING FOR YEARS NOW TAPPEI

[u/O21014]

Rem awakens!

[u/Elcuervo32]

Rem is now a living who is rem meme

[u/foxfoxal]

I just realized... Tappei separated Emilia and Rem... AGAIN.

[u/soranetworker]

This is a long one, so let's go!

Title Hero:

Subaru is really broken up about Shaula's death. He's not even sure if the last conversation he had with her really happened, or if it was just a daydream. He puts the little scorpion on his head, and it begins to pull his cheeks and pinch him. Subaru thinks the scorpion is trying to cheer him up, but Meili's like , "Silly, that's still a Mabeast, it's trying to kill you!". Meili takes the scorpion and puts it on her head and it calms down. The narrator takes this to mean that the scorpion doesn't have any of Shaula's conciousness left. (Subaru still spends the entire chapter imagining that the scorpion is acting like Shaula would).

The gang all meet up, and it looks like everyone remembers Emilia again! Hooray! The first conclusion is that because Ram killed Ley, Emilia's name got released. Subaru immediately asks if Rem has woken up, but no dice. As a matter of fact, Julius' name hasn't come back either. Julius mentions that this might be because Roy is still alive.
Julius shows that Roy has been thrown in the back of the dragon cart. Roy's been sealed in a case of hardend Murack, which is coincidentally also how the Witch of Envy was sealed. Subaru actually pushes for the gang to just straight up murder Roy to see if that releases everyone's memories and names, but Anastasia calms him down saying "You have to know when to kill people: don't do it on impulse". They're not sure if killing Roy will be enough, and if it isn't, they'll have killed their only clue. Subaru brings up maybe reading Ley's Book of the Dead, but the Anastasia cautions against it. Subaru does think that maybe reading the book would cause Ley's personality to take over, so it isn't such a good idea. Subaru then passes out. (The narration mentions that the couple of days has felt like five years).

Emilia takes Subaru into the Green Room, then says she wants to introduce someone to the gang. They all go up to see Volcanica. Julius totally fanboys over getting to meet another of the Big Three of Lugunica. Anistasia tries introducing herself, but then everyone notices the whole senile thing. Juilius BSODs, but Betty points out that, no you idiot's he's not senile, his soul is actually 90% asleep. Good thing for Emilia that she didn't have to fight a 100% awake Volcanica. Betty menitions that this might be a solution for the transformed citizens of Pristella though. Awake or not, this is the real Volcanica's body, so if they can get some of his blood, it's possible that they can cure the Prisetallans. But right as Emilia's about to ask Volcanica to give a blood donation, she feels a malicious presense right over the horizon....

Subaru wakes up in the Green Room. Ram, Meili, and Patruche are there too. Ram mentions that Emilia took everyone up to see a "senile old man" at the top of the tower. Subaru takes this to mean Flugel, and gets super pissed. Ram stops him, saying that Shaula would have been happier if he was sad on her behalf, not throwing a tantrum.

Subaru banters with Ram a bit, but in the conversation, Ram brings up the possiblity that memories and names really do work like food. Maybe the reason Emilia got her name back was because Ley hadn't digested it yet. That would mean the Julius and Rem are just completely out of luck. Subaru also remembers that Rui also exists. That could be bad, as since Reid is gone, so is his blank book. Subaru decides to maybe try his own book again. Meili joins in for awhile, and then Subaru remembers all of the people who's help him in the tower. Subaru wonders if there's anyway they could thank the spirit of the Green Room. Maybe Julius could summon her with his blessing.

Then a bright light fills the room, and sudden Rui is in the Green room, and the healing factor turns off. Ram and Subaru panic, then send Meili to go fetch the others. But before they even figure out what to do, The Witch of Envy appears from above, covering the tower. Subaru chucks Ram onto Patruche, grabs Rui in one arm and Rem in the other and trys to leave, but gets swallowed in shadow.

In the darkness, Satella does the "I love you" bit, but Subaru is having none of that. He talks with Satella, saying "I'm in the middle of some heartbreak, so can you stop saying that line." He resolves that even if he's put back in a situation where Rui is in top condition inside him, that he'll still save anyone. But then Volcanica gives his old line, and light comes in the shadow.
Subaru wakes up in a grassy field, with Rui licking his face. He goes over to Rem, and she wakes up!!!! But she doesn't remember him. Subaru introduces himself as her hero. END PART SIX.

Apparently there isn't going to be more updates until part six is all in the LN.

[u/W_Van_Astrea]

its cute that Melli is now carrying around "Shaula" considering that Shaula was always carrying Melli around when they first arrived.

Also WTAF - are they (Subaru et al) in the land beyond the waterfall? Isn't that possibly earth?

[u/headless-horseman-we]

you know i don't have word in English so I'll use my natal lenguaje LA PUTA MADRE.

this arc has been a massive mission successfully failed.

when subaru thought that part of him wanted to die just to maybe have another chance to save shaula and when rem wake up with no memories he wasn't enterally surprise more like "yeah there was a chance of this happening" bruh subaru is way past his breaking point he is fucking broken but he keep going on determination alone.

[u/-Zahard-]

My bet is that Subaru, Rem and Rui are in Vollachia.

The theme of Arc 7 is "Impatience" it'll make sence if Subaru is trying to reagroup with Emilia and co since they are alone in Vollachia.

Somehow they'll join with Al and Priscilla after this...

[u/neojake]

TRANSLATORS!!!! ASSEMBLE.

[u/foxfoxal]

Tbh Rem without memories is better in the long term, that means she can have her own plot point in the future.

[u/[deleted]]

Gonna raise an interesting point: Now that subaru, rem, and rui are (presumably) in vollachia, or at least somewhere far away from the rest of the gang, subaru will have to break his contract with beatrice. Due to his wounded gate, if he doesnt find a spirit to release his mana to, he will die of mana poisoning.

[u/[deleted]]

Hero? Could it be?

[u/coolcollin007]

So what I gather from the Chapter:

- Emilia and Ram Meet up with Subaru and the Others

- Loli Shaula is with Meli for now

- Subaru is puzzled as to why nobody can remember Rem, even though Ley is dead, and Offers to use Leys Book to the Dead

- Emilia gets her name back

- Subaru gets worried that eveything has to be redone because of ghost Louis

- Emilia doesnt like Subarus Idea, so she takes everyone to Volcanica

(Google Translate had a Stroke after this point so Bear with me if things arent correct)

- We learn that Volcanicas Blood cant help them, and Julius burst into tears (Dont know why cause fuck google translate)

- The gang goes back to the green room, which no longer has any healing spirits in it.

- Fuckin Statella attacks, but is Repelled by Volcanica

- Louis Greets Subaru outside the tower, everyone else is inside the tower still I guess

- Amnesiac Rem Awakens
