This is a part of chapter 71 arc 4 that was requested by a friend of mine.
edit: He actually sent me the wrong scene. I wouldn’t recommend reading this, as it’s pointless to read it without context. I’ll leave it up anyway though if anyone wants to read it for whatever reason
Another turn of bad events, another return. Subaru shook his body in order to wake it up and leap away.
[Subaru: —tss, hah! ….ah, aahhh, ha, aahh!?]
His body was squirming in agony on top of the hard, cold ground. The tumbling Subaru—whose nostrils were also being violated by the stinky stench of being covered in moss—fell into nothing but a state of inaction, as he tried to escape from the storm that was trying to disrupt the senses of his internal body. His mind could only wonder about what was happening, nothing else. He continued to tumble, hit the semicircular canal, and then he gasped for air as his lungs continued to feel pain. Even though his thoughts weren’t enough to tear up his consciousness, even if they were simply fragments, he wanted to diminish them by falling into a state of unconsciousness.
[Subaru:—oo, goo!]
But even if he were to deceive himself with that victimizing nature, he would put his goal on hold anyway when he hit a wall and bounced back. When he felt the pain from being hit on his back and his blood running down from his forehead that struck the wall, tears began to flow from the corner of his eye as he continued to pant with his face pushed towards the ground.
—–Pathetic. Worthless. Beyond helpless.
Just how long, just how many times, just how much has Natsuki Subaru been beaten down by his weakness? Just what could he do to have a steel heart that would never be broken? One that wouldn’t break no matter what type of situation came at him. One that wouldn’t break no matter what type of pain he’d be intensely hit with. He was this weak. He was this fragile. So, Subaru from now and from now on——
[Subaru: Is this pretension….? Is this avoidance….?]
It wasn’t unreasonable for him to think this. There were so, so many times when he became reminded of this possibility in the corner of his mind. But even now, the reason why it didn’t come anywhere closer than the corner of his mind, the reason why he didn’t unconsciously verify that truth, the reason why he didn’t consider it—was because he refused to, and nothing more.
If Subaru—the one capable of using “Return by Death”—were to think of himself as nothing more than an after world existence, his legs would collapse when fighting. Everything he sought to save was deserting Natsuki Subaru—no, Natsuki Subaru was the person who succumbed to desert them. Subaru deserted the world and ran away to a new world all by himself as he shamefully, selfishly met death. The reason why Subaru showed this scene was surely because of the remnants of the world that could continue when it became deserted by him with his rash decision making. Furthermore, The hell that could release Subaru through killing him had already been the previous scene from before.
[???: That’s a lie.]
His consciousness suddenly started to become hazy again. It was different from drowsiness. It was a sort of forced separation from reality where his consciousness would suddenly become light.
[???: Look at the feasible improbability.]
Once again, this unknown person with an unknown voice whispered into his ears. When he sought to figure out who it was with his vague consciousness——-he realized that-
——–He realized that, it could be none other than the voice of his own.

As of right now I have decided against joining his team. I want to work on my own projects, and on top of that I am not confident in my translation speed. I do not want to disappoint people if I happen to have an inconsistent, slow translation speed in comparison the others. So to avoid disappointing people, I will continue working on my own project(which as of right now is arc 6.).

If he was not sooo biased about rem then i would want him to work But he seens to obssesed with rem i bet he hates emilia and i wouldnt want biased as fuck translator in a group of nonbiased people

You are making several incorrect assumptions here. First of all, while I am aware of how my work has been used in a multitude of waifu war discussions, the purpose of doing all the Rem scenes was not to convince people that Subaru loves Rem.
“If he was not sooo biased about rem then i would want him to work But he seens to obssesed with rem i bet he hates emilia and i wouldnt want biased as fuck translator in a group of nonbiased people”
I do all these Rem scenes because, obviously, I love her as a character, and you probably aren’t wrong when you call me obsessed with her. I won’t deny it. I can’t deny it. I am a colossal Remfag. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, the second part of this sentence is wrong. Just because I absolutely adore her doesn’t mean I hate Emilia. Perhaps you are confusing me with the typical obsessed Remfag that disregards everything in the show while proclaiming to (superficially) love Rem? If you are, then let me clear that up for you. I do not hate Emilia at all, nor do I hate any of the other characters. The only character that I really hate would be Ley, for obvious reasons.
And even though I love her to such extent, how would it make me unqualified to work in their team? Are you afraid that I will bend the meaning of my translations in order to make it seem like Rem is more of a prime candidate to end up as Subaru’s significant other? I’ll have you know, I spend an immense time into these works, enough to come as close as possible in absolutely assuring myself that I have made it as accurate as possible while making it flow as nicely as possible, at least to the best of my ability. Sometimes I spend over 1-2 hours on a single sentence. I assure you that I have no intents to bend the meaning of the text at all. To have you simply disregard those efforts and misinterpret them in such despicable ways makes me feel absolutely indignant.
Also, is it weird to want to translate what you want? I would think not. I’ll continue to translate what I want, whether it be Rem scenes, whether it be arc 6 material. it just so happens that I feel the most motivated when giving priority to Rem scenes. Is that wrong? Well, whether it be right or wrong, people will appreciate the work, so in the end it’s all worth it. You can call me out on being obsessed with Rem however much you want, but I would appreciate if you’d refrain from making such rash and disrespectful assumptions before providing actual evidence.

Who the fuck are you to say something like that. You’re shallow assumptions is over the top and makes you look like a simple-minded delusional shipper. Be glad he’s giving something to the community because honestly he doesn’t have to. He has a life unlike you who probably only lurks around the Re:zero reddit page in the hopes you’ll get a translation about your so called “OTP”. Moving on, I for not once believe you’ve read the REAL WN and the fact that your just one of the many that is begging for a translation. You do realize, that there’s others who read the WN and is reading his translations right? That CAN EASILY be called out, so how in God’s name did you get the vibe that he’s overestimating Rem and Subaru moments? You clearly have no understanding about Subaru himself. Just because he only does Rem scenes does NOT provide any CLEAR indications that he hates Emilia. He has made himself CLEAR many times already that he would prioritize the Rem scenes because he clearly likes her as a character and that’s really something you can’t blame him for.
So move along now, he has no need of your biased and despicable comment
