Y/N X RE:ZERO - Starting Life In Another World
S1 | Ep. 1A | Intro
This is the character aesthetic that I imagine for Y/N, however you can imagine yourself ofc.
You had a devastating sleep last night.
Because you binge read the latest chapters of your favourite Re:ZERO novel.
Y/N L/N
The most traumatizing novel I've read so far.
Y/N L/N
But, I like to give myself the despair.
You looked at the auspicious morning through your window.
Y/N L/N
And, I have to go to school today. Just great.
An ordinary high school student.
You have a loving family, parents who care about you, and you're an only child.
What could possibly go wrong with your life?
You had changed into your school uniform.
However, since you're very insecure about yourself,
You usually try to cover your body.
You greeted your parents as you reached the living room.
Mother
Morning, Y/N. Nervous for your new school?
Father
You shouldn't worry about it. You're our one and only daughter after all.
Father
Last year you scored number 1, this time I can expect the same score right, Y/N?
Mother
I'm so proud of you, dear.
Mother
After you come back from school, we'll visit Hayden's house.
Mother
You two make such a good match for each other.
Y/N L/N
Mom... How many times did I tell you, it's not like that.
Y/N L/N
I don't even like Hayden!
Y/N L/N
Can you please stop with that saying?
Y/N L/N
I can take care of myself well, I don't need nobody!
Mother
*Bitter smile* You’ll understand one day, when we’re gone, that everything we did was for you.
You clearly don't like it when your mother talks like THAT.
Father
Enough, Y/N if you're ready, let's leave now.
You can't rebel against your father.
Y/N L/N
Wait, I forgot to bring my bag.
Y/N L/N
Dad, you go out first, I'll go take my bag real quick and come back.
Father
Go fast, you can't be late for your first day in school.
Mother
Take care of yourself, you both.
You went upstairs towards your room.
You opened the door in rush and fetched your bag.
You opened the door again and—
You looked at your surroundings.
Demi-humans and creatures that you had only seen in that particular anime.
You noticed your clothing was still the same, and you also had your bag.
Y/N
This must be a dream...
Y/N
Perhaps, a lucid dream.
Y/N
If I pinch myself, I'll be back home.
You pinched your arm slightly.
Y/N
Getting isekaied in anime is cool in anime and novels.
Y/N
I would be astonished, but happy too if the anime was sweet.
Y/N
But heaven's grace... You can't do this to me.
Person
Those are some weird clothes. Are you travelling?
Subaru
What are these? *Pointing at apples*
A few seconds later, Subaru pulled out coins from his pocket and showed it to the shop owner.
Person
Huh? What kind of money is that?
Person
You can't use that stuff in Lugunica.
Person
That means you're flat broken, huh?
Person
Get Outta here! Don't interfere with my business!
You scratched your head like a maniac, trying to stay sane.
Because you knew it very well, what would happen to you if you weren't sane. Especially in the world of Re:ZERO.
Y/N
B!tch! You better be joking...
You roamed around in the world of Re:ZERO, trying to figure a way to leave this world.
Y/N
So, I'm really stuck here...?
Y/N
I should wait for this day to end.
Y/N
Maybe, I'm too tired. I'm dreaming. It's a lucid dream.
You stood up, and began to walk away through streets,
When suddenly, you found the streets familiar.
Y/N
(Wasn't this where Subaru first met Emilia?)
Y/N
(He doesn't seem to be here... Did he already leave?)
Person
Look, we found another prey here.
Person
The last guy was weird and he almost got us beaten.
You tried to negotiate with them.
Y/N
You’re not gonna kill me here, right? You’re smarter than that.
Y/N
Guards are gonna be all over you if you do. Think first
You may appeared brave outside when you said that, but you were TERRIFIED and internally screaming.
Y/N
(F#ckf#ckf#ck I can’t fight these b#stards… buying time, that’s all… Don’t stab me, don’t stab me…)
Y/N
(someone HAS to come. Someone ALWAYS comes in this story, right?)
Y/N
(Reinhard? Subaru? Emilia? Anybody? … Fine, scream it out—)
Y/N
Help! Somebody!! Guards!!!
Y/N
(He should be here! If he could save Subaru then why not me?!)
However, those guys seemed to be alerted.
Person
Don't scare me like that.
Person
I... Might have freaked out a little bit.
Person
Just a tiny little bit.
Suddenly, one of those guys pulled out a knife.
Person
Trying to run away won't help you.
You clenched your teeths.
Y/N
(Why the f#ck did that hero not come yet?!)
Y/N
(I don't want to die!)
Everyone, including you looked back at that echoing voice.
Person
And a Knight's sword with scratches made by dragon claw...
Person
The master swordsman, Reinhard?!
Reinhard
Looks like I don't need to introduce myself.
Reinhard
Though, that nickname is a bit much for me.
Reinhard
I don't know how much help my modest strength can be to this lady,
Reinhard
But if you wish to resort to extreme measures...
Reinhard
As a Knight, I will have to fight back.
Reinhard touched the scabbard of his sword as if trying to pull it out,
But it made those guys scared enough that they ran away.
Person
S-Screw this! It's not worth it!
Reinhard looked at you, and with a kind and warm smile he asked,
Reinhard
I'm glad we're both safe. Are you unhurt?
Y/N
(These are all those lines meant for Subaru. That's such an NPC behaviour, but wait... who am I kidding?)
You smiled at Reinhard to show your gratitude.
Y/N
Thank you for saving me... Sir Reinhard.
Reinhard
You can just call me Reinhard. Miss... may I ask for your name?
Reinhard
Y/N... You have quite the unusual apparel, and name.
Reinhard
What nation are you from?
Reinhard
At the moment, Lugunica is a bit more restive than in peacetime.
Reinhard
If you have a problem I'd be glad to help you.
You thought for a few seconds and replied,
Y/N
I just arrived here... And, I'm practically new to Lugunica, can you help me find a shelter?
Reinhard
There is a trustworthy innkeeper near the square. I’ll leave you in her care for now. I’ll cover your stay until you can decide your next step.
Y/N
Much obliged... Reinhard.
Reinhard nodded slightly and gave you another smile.
Y/N
(Too bad, that people only call him the Hero who cannot be anything else.)
You spent the night in the inn that Reinhard covered your stay at.
It was a very peaceful night.
And when you opened your eyes...
S1 | Ep. 1B
You looked at the other side where Subaru was standing still, as if petrified.
Person
What's the matter, boy? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Person
I asked you about the appa. The appa!
Person
Do you even have money?
Person
Don't 'What' me! The appa! Are you buying it or not?
Subaru
Oh... No, like I said, I'm broke beyond compare...
Person
The hell? If you're just browsing, then move along.
Person
I run a business here. I don't have a time for window-shoppers.
You were genuinely confused, and so was Subaru.
Y/N
So, this isn't a dream.
Y/N
I've literally isekaied in the Re:ZERO world.
You racked brain, trying to come up with any possible plan.
You did your very best to stay sane as you came up with these conclusions.
Y/N
I can't leave this world. I'm stuck here...
Y/N
... Probably not forever.
Y/N
According to the plot something happened—
You stopped yourself from speaking any obvious information.
Y/N
(I can't just casually mention the obvious.)
Y/N
(If I want to survive, I must think carefully.)
Y/N
(All the witches, even Satella herself, probably already know about my existence.)
Y/N
(If not… they’ll notice sooner or later, because I’m an anomaly.)
Y/N
(I’d rather not meet any of them—especially Satella.)
Y/N
(I have to restrain myself from speaking the obvious. The words that are connected to the obvious.)
You knew walking casually down the streets was dangerous.
And Reinhard doesn't remember you yet.
You restrain yourself from speaking any obvious or related to the obvious.
You walked in circles around the market.
Racking your brain again.
Y/N
(I can't say anything.)
Y/N
I can't do anything here.
Y/N
But at least I'm free from school.
Y/N
I won't have to study to rank number 1 for the time being.
Y/N
They'll probably worry about me.
Y/N
At least nobody’s after me… yet. If I keep my distant—
Y/N
(I don't want to be the centre of anybody's attention.)
Y/N
(I'll just find myself a shelter and see how this life goes.)
The sky had turned Orange, and you found the inn where Reinhard had taken you before.
At this point, you didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
You were stuck in the starting point.
And nothing changed except that this time you restarted earlier than last time.
As you looked at the other side, Subaru stood there, looking more dreadful than before.
You didn't state the obvious.
And watched him as a bystander.
Y/N
I'm not the main character.
Y/N
I don't belong anywhere.
Person
What's the matter, boy? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Subaru
I have no idea what's going on anymore...
You watched as Subaru fainted.
You didn't dare to approach him.
The shop owner splashed water on Subaru's face, and Subaru woke up.
Person
Are you all right, boy?
Person
Here. Forget about the money. Just take these. *Passes an apple and water*
Subaru was going to take them, when suddenly his eyes met yours.
Then his eyes followed a girl with silver hair and elf ears.
Y/N
(Oh, how it feels to be an anomaly.)
Y/N
(Not the main character. Nor the heroine.)
Y/N
(An anomaly that doesn't belong.)
Subaru's expression changed when he saw that girl with silver hair.
Subaru
Wait! P-Please, wait!
Subaru ran after that girl.
Everyone's expression changed when they heard that particular name.
That girl with silver hair stopped on her track as well.
Subaru
Please don't ignore me!
Subaru
My dying and not doing what you said were my fault!
Subaru
But I was desperate!
Subaru
I went back to the loot house after that, but I couldn't find you...
Subaru
I'm sorry for only thinking of myself.
Everyone looked at Subaru with feared expression.
After all, who in their right mind would go around screaming a name that was forbidden to speak?
Except the fact that Subaru didn't know about it yet.
Subaru
But I'm glad you're all right, Satella.
The silver hair girl turned back with fierce expression.
Emilia
What are you thinking?
There was a hint of anger in her tone.
Emilia
I don't know who you are,
Emilia
But don't call me by the name of the Witch of Envy!
Emilia
What are you thinking?!
Subaru was clearly confused, wondering what he had said wrong.
You, on the other hand, couldn't fathom whether to interfere or just standby.
(The End of the Begging and the Beginning of the End.)
S1 | Ep. 2
Emilia
I'll ask one more time.
Emilia
Why did you call me by the name of the Witch of Envy?
Subaru
Because you told me to.
Emilia
I don't know who told you that,
Emilia
But they have a terrible taste!
Emilia
The Witch of Envy is the very symbol of taboo,
Emilia
And you call me by her name, which most dare not even say!
Person
That's going too far, boy!
Emilia
If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving. I have things to do.
Emilia turned around to leave, when suddenly a girl came in flash and stole something from Emilia's pocket.
Emilia checked her pockets and realised she was pickpocketed.
Emilia
Were you stalling me?
Emilia
Are you working with her?!
Emilia ignored Subaru and ran after Felt.
Subaru
Hey! Wait... Wait a minute!
Subaru
You've got it all wrong! I'm...
Subaru also followed after Emilia.
You, on the other hand, still wondered if you should help Subaru or yourself.
Everything was happening too fast without you doing anything.
It was as if your existence didn't matter in this world.
Probably because you were an anomaly.
Y/N
What's even my purpose to be here?
Y/N
Just let me go home already...
Y/N
At this point... I'm just tired.
Y/N
Back to the starting point.
At the other side, you could see Subaru again.
Person
Well, boy? You want this appa?
Subaru
How many times have you seen me now?
Person
What do you mean? I've never seen you before now.
Person
Well? You want the appa or not?
Subaru
Sorry, but I'm broke beyond compare!
You were astonished by Subaru's acting, even though you knew about it.
If Subaru could survive with his sanity, then why couldn't you?
It's not about Subaru being an NPC, but rather challenging yourself here.
Everyone has their own feelings in this world.
So, you couldn't keep calling everyone NPC, just because you were a human before you isekaied here.
You came with a few conclusions.
Y/N
(I suppose, I'll tag along with him.)
Y/N
(He'll be my ticket to not dying miserable in a ditch.)
You motivated yourself and grinned.
Afterwards, you followed after Subaru.
And ended up in that street once again.
Person
What are you babbling about?
Person
If you don't wanna get hurt, cough up whatever you've got!
Subaru
I'm getting sick of seeing your faces, dumb, dumber, and dumbest.
Subaru
After doing this four times, I've learnt my lesson!
Subaru took a deep breath and screamed.
Person
What the hell, you b#stard?!
Subaru
(My memory from before was right.)
Subaru
(This world does have some sort of police force!)
Subaru
Someone! Please, I need a man!
Subaru
No, don't touch me! Stop!
Subaru
I can't hear you! You're not being sincere enough!
You cringed hard when Subaru was screaming, but you cringed even more at yourself.
Subaru
Wait... You shouldn't have come here!
Subaru
(We'll both die at this point!)
Person
It's just a human girl.
Person
Don't scare me like that.
Person
I... Might have freaked out a little bit.
Person
Just a tiny little bit.
One of those guys pulled out a knife.
Person
Trying to run away won't help you both.
Subaru was concerned, but you were chill knowing that Reinhard would definitely come.
And that's when the heroic voice echoed.
Person
And a knight's sword with scratches made by dragon claws...
Person
The master swordsman, Reinhard?!
Reinhard
Looks like I don't need to introduce myself.
Reinhard
Though, that nickname is a bit much for me.
Reinhard
I don't know how much help my modest strength can be to him and that lady,
Reinhard
But if you wish to resort to extreme measures...
Reinhard
As a knight, I will have to fight back.
Reinhard was about to pull his sword out of its scabbard, when those guys ran away.
Person
S-Screw this! It's not worth it!
Reinhard
I'm glad, we're safe now. Are you both unhurt?
Subaru
A-Allow me to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life!
Subaru pulled that Sasageyo move as he continued.
Subaru
I, Natsuki Subaru, deeply admire your selflessness!
Y/N
I'm much obliged to you.
Reinhard
There's no need for such formality.
Reinhard
Once it was three against three, they lost their advantage.
Reinhard
If I'd been alone, it would have been different.
Y/N
(Yeah, he would've knocked all of them out.)
Y/N
(He's a walking plot armour, someone I should definitely stick close to.)
Subaru
Thanks to you as well... Miss...
Y/N
And mention not... I just wanted to help, but it almost backfired.
Subaru
Even so, thank you for coming to help me.
Subaru
Uh... Sir Reinhard, right?
Reinhard
You guys can just call me 'Reinhard.'
Subaru
Well, thanks again, Reinhard.
Subaru
You and L/N-San were the only ones who heard me shouting and came to help.
Reinhard
For most, it's too risky to face off against people like them.
Reinhard
As far as that goes, you were right to call for the guards.
Subaru
You don't look like one.
Reinhard
I'm off duty today, so I'm not in uniform.
Reinhard shrugged as he continued.
Reinhard
And I realised that I don't look particularly intimidating.
Subaru
Come to think of it, didn't they call you 'Master swordsman'?
Reinhard
My family is a bit unique.
Reinhard
Every day, I feel I'll be crushed by their expectations.
Reinhard
Anyway, Subaru and L/N-San...
Y/N
Ah, you guys can just call me Y/N.
Reinhard
You both have quite the unusual hair, apparel, and name.
Reinhard
What nation are you from?
Reinhard
At the time, Lugunica is a bit more restive than in peacetime.
Reinhard
If you have a problem, I'd be glad to help.
Subaru
Then would you come to the loot house with me?
Subaru was reminded of his bad memory.
Subaru
Uh... Never mind, forget it.
Subaru
I can't trouble you with that.
Subaru
I'll handle the rest on my own, somehow.
Subaru
But... I'd appreciate it if you could deliver a message.
Reinhard
Of course, I'd be glad to.
Reinhard
What should I say, and to whom?
Subaru
Well, I don't know her name, but...
Subaru
Have you seen a girl with white robes and silver hair around here?
Reinhard
White robes and silver hair?
Subaru
She's also extremely gorgeous!
Subaru
Then if you do see her,
Subaru
Tell her not to come near the loot house, no matter what.
Subaru
I'll find what she's looking for and bring it to her myself.
Reinhard
Very well, if I see her, I will relay your message.
Subaru
I'll repay you one day!
Reinhard turned towards you.
Before Reinhard could say anything, you began.
Y/N
I just arrived here, so I'm practically new to Lugunica.
Y/N
I have to visit a place tonight, but I'm afraid to go out alone...
Y/N
Can you accompany until tonight?
Y/N
You won't have to do anything... I'll just follow you, and by the night I'll need your accompany.
Reinhard
Of course. If you are in danger, I cannot in good conscience leave you alone.
Reinhard
Until your business tonight is finished, I will stay by your side.
Y/N
(Now, I'll just wait for Felt to come and go to the loot house with Reinhard.)
Y/N
(If I'm an anomaly who doesn't belong in this world.)
Y/N
(I will create a spot for myself here.)
Y/N
(Until I can go home.)
