Lost in Memories

Subaru Natsuki suddenly wakes up in the middle of the forest in the night. He didn't know how he did end up here on his own and he doesn't know how to get out. He searched around the forest for finding a way to get out until, he heard a noise on the other side of the bushes. He crosses over to see if there was anyone that can help him. But instead, it was a monster that is covered with black bones with green flame surrounding it. Before the monster could even kill him, he was saved by a mysterious woman with green hair who calls herself as Shion. Both of them fought the monster and survived. After the battle, Shion asks him why did he go to the forest, but he doesn't know how he ended up--or more to simply put, he doesn't remember his past history in this world. Shion transports to an otherworldly subspace called "Remembrance Village", where all of Subaru's memories when he transported into another world are stored within his subconscious. Shion decides to help him to regain the lost memories that were stolen from him.

They started in the Capitol of Lugnica, the place where Subaru first transported to another world and began his search to find any clues. They went to the alleyway and when suddenly, the illusions of the three thugs appear in front of them. But instead of throwing banters or anything they have to say, they raised their weapons and prepares for battle. Both Subaru and Shion survived the fight, but the three thugs got back up and prepare for the next attack. But before they can, a hooded figure appears and destroys the illusions. Subaru couldn't understand who or why did he saved them, but they continue their adventures. They traveled to the slums to find any memories of his past. But suddenly, an illusion of Rom appears and attacks them. They defeated the illusion of Rom, but the illusion was later destroyed when the hooded figure appears.

They set out to the streets of the capitol to find any more of Subaru's memories when suddenly, the same monster from the forest appeared in the city. Shion calls the spirit "Oblivion", an evil spirit that takes people's memories. They dragged the monster to the alley and both of them, including the hooded figure, defeated the Oblivion. As they defeated it, they questioned who is the mastermind behind Subaru's forgotten memories. After witnessing his time against Elsa and revealing Emilia's name, Subaru's bits of memories have turned to him. Time had passed and it's ready night. Shion suggested that they should find a place to stay for the night. They both split up to find a place where that can stay in. As he thought back to what Shion said, he encountered a man with a mask who calls himself as Alcor as he was responsible for stealing Subaru's memories. Shion arrives and helps him attempt to defeat Alcor, but knowing how powerful he is, they retreated from the fight. Subaru wonders to himself just who is under the mask.

Subaru and Shion arrived at the Mathers Manor where they try to find Subaru's memories after the fight with Elsa. Subaru recalled that the first time they met, she somehow knows his name. He asked Shion on how did he know him, but they were interrupted by Oblivions. They searched around the manor to find anything that Subaru can recollect, but still couldn't remember anything. He tries to ask Shion who she is, but she decides to avoid that question and head to the next room when an Oblivion was waiting for them in the next room. After they had defeated the Oblivion, Subaru quickly ran out of the manor to see if he finally remembered something, but Shion quickly stopped him to do anything rash. Subaru calmed down a bit and they both have tea together. Shion explained that she hadn't had tea with someone before in a long time and hadn't had friends, which causes her to cry as Subaru complimented that her tea was delicious.

After defeating the Oblivions, Subaru remembered the location where he had jumped off the cliff and committed suicide. He told Shion that he didn't have a plan after that and he told her that he was honestly scared if he had forgotten everything. But thanks to Shion's tea, he feels more relaxed. He asked what if he were to die in the world. She gave him a serious answer that if he were to die in the phantom world, his soul would die and his real body will become a shell in the real world. Then, Shion asked if he remembered how he first met her, but Subaru still couldn't recall. They both head to the village as Shion playfully watches the children of Irlam playing. He asked if all elves loved the forest, and she replied that there are elf settlements, but it all looked too familiar for her. Suddenly, Shion felt something was amiss. They found another Oblivion. But before they were about to go in for an ambush, Subaru accidentally stepped on a branch, causing it to run away. Before they could chase it, Alcor appears and claims that the memories that Subaru was gathering weren't his memories from the beginning, but Shion interrupts him before he could say any further.
