Re:Zero Light Novel Volume 10/Synopsis

Prologue: Graveyard
Natsuki Subaru walks through a dark tomb as he hears a voice compliment him on his desires that drive him. Suddenly, he finds himself on a grassy plain, and the voice from before beckoning him to come to her location. He turned to face the voice and saw a woman with long white hair and wearing a pitch-black dress sitting at a table. The woman asks if she surprised Subaru before remembering she hasn't introduced herself to him yet. The woman calls herself Echidna: the Witch of Greed.

Chapter 1: At the Place they Returned to
1. Subaru, Emilia, and the villagers of Irlam Village prepare to leave the Karsten Masion in order to return home, with Crush, having lost her memories after being attacked by Lye Batenkaitos of the Witch Cult, says to Subaru that the mansion will feel empty without him, and while he apologizes, he says there are things he needs to take care of, nor does he want to abuse her hospitality anymore than he feels he has. He also knows that she has problems of her own, as due to Anastasia Hoshin having come out of the conflict with the Hakugei without any clear losses compared to the Crush Camp and Emilia Camp, so they will have to be careful regarding her.

Nevertheless, Subaru tells Crush that he will return to the Captial after returning everyone home, which Crush says she will be waiting so she can repay Subaru for everything. Subaru tells her to never mind, as he already feels he has been rewarded by her with his Ground Dragon Patrasche. Despite Crush saying it isn't enough, Subaru insists that Patrasche saved him even though they haven't been together for so long. Wilhelm speaks to Subaru saying Patrasche's breed of Ground Dragon is very tempermental, so it is rare for him to see one so loyal to her rider, meaning the two of them are extremely compatible. Hearing that, Subaru tells Patrasche he wouldn't ride any other Ground Dragon than her, causing her to affecionately nuzzle his cheek, while also humorously scratching his cheek as well.

Subaru says goodbye to Wilhelm and wishes him good luck with his reopened wound, which he thanks him for. He then hears Ferris say to Subaru that he has secured Rem, which he sees for himself. He asks if she will fall out while riding and he says he made sure she won't, though he is a little sad he can't help her. Subaru apologizes for leaving, saying he needs to find another way to help Rem, though Ferris adds that Subaru needs to rest himself considering how strained his Magic Gate has become. He says to Subaru that even though the gate is cleaned, he can't abuse it for about two months, causing Subaru to worry he has set off a flag when he said nothing else may happen. Subaru, however, thanks Ferris for his healing, for fighting the Hakugei and Petelguese, and of course, Rem. He teases Subaru about how he said that and how he will do anything to protect Crush, so he better keep his promise or else.

Emilia comes out from the carriage asking if they are ready, and Ferris asks Crush if she has anything else to say to Emilia. Crush approaches Emilia and thanks her for everything, saying that even though she has lost her memories, she feels they are connected on a much deeper level. Emilia, in turn, nervously asks if she is afraid of her because she is a half-elf, and Crush answers that the worth of a soul is determined by the worth of a person's actions, so they should live in whatever fashion that represents them. She asks if Emilia feels she live shamefully and Emilia denies, so Crush says she is greatful she met her, which makes Emilia very happy. Crush wishes Subaru luck in the future as they finally take their leave.
