Re: Zero Arc 6 Summary

Things to note:
-I'm not an actual WN reader, so don't expect this to be 100% correct and accurate.
-English is not my first language, so I apologize if there is bad grammar or something that confuses you.
-Maybe I will continue this summary thing, MAYBE.

Arc 6: Corridor of Memory

For those who know nothing about previous arcs, here are some information you might want to know before reading this:
- Yes, Rem had her memory and name eaten by the Bishop of Gluttony, and no one remembers her except Subaru and Beatrice, but her body is still there. So, even though Ram doesn't remember Rem, but having someone who looks very similar to her, and Subaru, who is unaffected by Gluttony's authority, can confirm that Rem is Ram's sister, Ram still has some sense of responsibility of protecting Rem. (arc 4)
- Puck broke contract with Emilia (for the sake of helping Emilia to pass the trial) and hasn't appear for the rest of the story so far.(arc 4)
- Garfield captured Meili. (arc 4)
- Subaru signed contract with Beatrice. (arc 4)
- Subaru invented three magics with Beatrice: EMM that blocks everything, EMT that nullifies mana in the area, and the third one is currently unknown. (arc..4, or 5?)
- Subaru learnt to use whip and parkour from Clind. (arc 4..it does count in arc 4, right?) (Subaru did use whip in this arc, I just didn't put it in my summary)
- Since Subaru's name means Pleiades, Subaru is interested in stars and has some decent knowledge on constellation. (arc 5)
- Subaru saved the Watergate city from the Witch Cult, but it costs them a lot. Therefore, with people from Emilia's camp and Anastasia's camp, Subaru decided to visit the sage who possibly could cure those who became victims of the bishops. (arc 5)
- Otto and Garfield stayed in the city to cure and rest. (arc 5)
- Capella let her dragon blood flows inside Crusch, which made Crusch sick (or something) and had to stay on the bed. (arc 5)
- Roy ate Julius's name. (arc 5)
- To save Anastasia from Capella, Echidna (not the witch, the spirit on Anastasia's scarf) possessed Anastasia, but couldn't get off of her body after the battle, which is the reason why “Anastasia” is going with Subaru. (arc 5)
Q: What is the relationship between this Echidna and the Echidna known as the Witch of Greed?
A: Asking this just like asking what's the relationship between Emilia and Satella. The author hasn't explained it yet.
- Other victims include those who had their names or memories (or both) eaten by the Bishops of Gluttony and those who were turned into flies or dragons by the Bishop of Lust. (arc 5)



Since there were many beasts in the sand dune where the watchtower was at, Subaru first went back to the mansion and talked to Meili, who was being jailed after arc 4. However, it was not really a jail; it was more like a nice comfort room with a lot of stuffed animals made by Subaru so that Meili won’t be bored. Subaru said some stuff that convinced Meili to join his team (made her into his "harem")}.

Subaru also brought Rem in a wheelchair so that the sage could cure her. Roswaal warned Emilia that when Rem, a girl who apparently liked Subaru and Subaru also seemed to like her, woke up, she would be very close to Subaru. Emilia didn’t care and was determined to help Subaru to save Rem. “Me, Rem, Beatrice, Petra, Patrasche, Otto and Garfield! As long as Subaru is very very happy.” (Subaru: “Ah.., there are animal and men in there.”)

After they passed the sand dune, they came to a garden filled with 花魁熊. Those are basically bears with flowers on their back. Meili could not handle this large amount of beasts, so Subaru and the team decided to sneak through the bears.

But they alerted the bears, people started to run and fight the bears while rushing to the tower. All of the sudden a light coming from the tower evaporated Subaru’s head. All the other people also got headshot.

--Bad End 22--

Subaru was back at the middle of the flower garden. Not long after the team alerted the bears again, but Subaru decided to go another way this time. The bears were still attacking, then all of the sudden the light from the watchtower strike again and shot through Subaru’s body. Subaru died. (Before he died, Beatrice was crying, so Subaru wiped her tear with his invisible hand)

--Bad End 23--

This time Subaru tried to find a way around the garden. Then the light targeted Subaru again. Subaru used EMM to block the attack, but the light was still shooting, so he used EMT instead. This time, the lights touched the EMT territory and nullified, they fell down and became needles. Under the protection, the team wanted to use transportation magic to return to the sand dune, but using dimension magic while mana was nullified in the area is not a good idea, the portal exploded and the whole team was blew and scattered away.

When Subaru woke up, he was with Ram, Anastasia, and Patrasche under the sand dune. Other people were not with them, so they started looking. They encountered a branched road, and Subaru went to the left.

Subaru fell into a hole and encountered a centaur-liked beast (餓馬王, a beast with top being the human and bottom being the horse, the whole head becomes a horn and there is an opening in the stomach as the mouth. There is fire burning on its back and it can shoot fireball). Subaru was burned by the beast.

--Bad End 24--

The checkpoint changed to the place under the sand dune.
This time, Subaru decided to go to the right. On their way, Ram had some small disputes with Subaru. But eventually for some reasons they became so angry that they started to attack each other. Anastasia’s body was cut by Ram’s wind magic, Ram was eaten by Patrasche, and finally Subaru was also eaten by Patrasche.

(I don’t know what exactly happened in this loop. I assume they are driving insane due to something similar to Wrath’s emotion control)

--Bad End 25--

This time Subaru went to left, due to the fact that the centaur had no eyes and lived underground, maybe it had no vision. Subaru distracted the beast with noise, but the plan failed in the mid-way. They tried to fight the beast, but the centaur had regenerating ability.

All of the sudden, the light, the same light that shot Subaru in the previous loop, attacked. Even when the centaur-beast could regenerate, the light kept shooting until there was nothing left for the beast. Then a woman appeared, Subaru fainted due to the battle with the beast.

Description on the woman: big breast, pants are so short that they barely cover the important part. The body only has fabric that covers the breast. A cloak hanged from the shoulder. A long, Brown-colored hair that is tied into a ponytail

Subaru entered the space he was in every time he met the Witch of Envy/Satella. The voice of Betelgeuse and Regulus talked to him. Then the Witch of Envy/Satella appeared. This time she showed the whole body, but the face is still covered by black mist.

Subaru woke up in the sage tower (The Pleiades watchtower) with Emilia sleeping near him and Beatrice sitting there. There are total of 7 floors in this tower. The fifth floor is the ground floor, and the sixth floor (where Subaru is currently at) is B1 (counting from top to bottom). Rem was being cured in the fourth floor, but not the kind that can cure the authority. Julius and other people were in a trial.

Then the needle-using woman jumped from the sky. “….Three. That’s not important, I finally find you, sensei-sama” And she started hugging Subaru with strong force, saying Subaru was her teacher and how she missed him so much. Subaru of course was in confusion, and other people returned.

The woman was Shaula, the sage that they were looking for, also the one of the three that sealed the Witch of Envy 400 years ago, according to the history. Subaru and other people were confused about Shaula calling Subaru her teacher. Julius explained that when the portal magic exploded, others were transported back to the other side of the garden and managed to arrive at the watchtower secretly. When Subaru was sleeping, all the people tried to make Shaula to talk, but Shaula didn’t say anything. Shaula said that teacher ordered her not to say anything, so Subaru gave her admission to talk. During their conversation, Shaula used a lot of modern words, and Emilia pointed out that Subaru and Shaula talked in a very similar manner; others agreed.

Anastasia took out pictures of Dragon Lugnica, The First Sword Saint Reid Astrea, and Sage Shaula. On the coin with the sage, it was a handsome, long-haired man. Shaula identified him as her teacher and said that her teacher was the kind of person that would give the credit to his apprentice. So they asked why she was calling Subaru her teacher when they had complete different appearance, Shaula said that her teacher was the only person that would have such heavy (witch) smell. Shaula sucks at face recognizing anyway, to her humans are all the same.

Although Shaula knew Raid and Lugnica, she didn’t know anything happened outside while she was in the watchtower, so she didn’t know things such as Raid becoming Sword Saint).

The last question was the name of Shaula’s teacher. Shaula answered “Flugel.” Subaru realized that is was the sage who planted the Flugel Tree (and only known for planting that tree, which is already cut down and crashed that beached whale).

This watchtower was Flugel’s library; in order to obtain the knowledge, they had to pass the corresponding trial. The sixth floor (B1), the ground floor fifth floor (F1) and the fourth floor (F2) where Shaula’s house was located had no library, and the top three floors had; Subaru assumed that the difficulty of trials would be harder as he moved up. Subaru asked Shaula not to hurt his friends and confirmed that the names of each floor are named after the Pleiades Sisters. However, according to Shaula, Subaru is currently unqualified to do the seventh floor Merope, or the 0th floor. He needs seven things to do that and he only has three so far. (Probably Sloth, Greed, and the third is either Pride or Envy)

Shaula’s needle worked by linking the target’s mana with the needle; this attack was invented by Flugel. Julius and other entered the watchtower when Shaula went to the underground sand palace. There were many dangerous beasts in the palace. The centaur beast was one of them and it escaped

Subaru then went to the green house on the fourth floor where Rem and Ram were at. This room is inside the body of a spirit and is filled with abundant mana that can cure anyone who enters. (But can’t cure Bishop's authority) Ram stayed and took care of Rem, while Subaru continued the trial that other couldn’t pass.


The third floor was a pure white room, and there was something floating in front of the staircase, Subaru called it a monolith. When he touched it, the monolith multiplied and spread out in the room without pattern. A voice hinted “touch the shine of the hero destroyed by Shaula.” And the trial began. To pass the trial they have to find the right monolith. [Time limit: limitless, challenging time: limitless, challenger: limitless.]

Then suddenly Subaru asked Shaula if she killed Reid, which scared her. Subaru apologized and asked if Reid was a scary person. Shaula said he was the worst human trash and a disgusting person who liked to bully others.

Subaru figured out the answer was Orion. Shaula’s name came from the stars Lambda Scorpii, which was the scorpion that killed Orion. There are two stars that are the brightest in Orion: Betelgeuse as the right shoulder (name of the Bishop of Sloth) and Rigel as the left foot (name of the son of Subaru and Rem in IF). Subaru chose Rigel just because, and he passed the trial. The pure white space became a library. (By the way, the constellation in this world is different from Subaru’s original world)

Subaru picked a book and he entered the Witch of Pride’s memory.

Typhon’s father was an executioner, so to teach her some life lessons, her father let Typhon watch all the execution when she was a little girl (wait, but she IS a little girl). Eventually Typhon learned that all sinners deserve punishments, but she didn’t know how to distinguish between good and evil. One day, she broke her father’s wineglass. She confessed and apologized, and her father forgave her. She suddenly realized that she could determine what is good and evil by herself; she decided what punishments the sinners deserved. She started follow her father and executed other people. Looking around, the only people here are sinners waiting to be punished, and so the Witch of Pride continued interrogate, punish, and execute sinners.

Emilia saw something was wrong with Subaru so she slapped him to bring him back. Based on other people’s reaction to the book. They concluded that they could only read the memory of those whom they knew, and this library possibly had the memory of all people from the past to current time.

Then Subaru entered the Witch of Wrath’s memory. Minerva was an anti-war person who was invincible on the battlefield and tried to defeat the entire enemy so that war could end. However, the number of enemy increased as she fought more. She finally fell into despair, and understood that her emotion was called wrath. She went back to battlefield once again, told all the people to live peacefully, and started to punch all the people to cure them. Eventually people quit the war since they were in full health, and some wanted to thank her for curing, but she disappeared.

Subaru couldn’t find the staircase to the second floor and Shaula didn’t know either (when Subaru asked her, he dodge her hug). Anastasia asked Shaula if there were some secrets that were kept for protecting the tower.

Shaula didn’t say the secret because they didn’t ask for it before. The first thing was that if anyone secretly leaved the tower, he/she would be killed, although Shaula didn’t want to do this.
Subaru asked if Shaula was a spirit and had a contract.
Shaula responded by don't compare her with such low-tier creature (while most of the people here are spirit-related)
Subaru then said if she didn't have contract then there is no need to keep promise (while Emilia, who views promise as a very important thing, is next to him)
It took a long time before Emilia forgave him, and Shaula was happy to see how bad Subaru looked at this moment.

Next thing was that once the trial has started, the challenger cannot leave the tower, or Shaula will start killing. The priority of this order is higher than Subaru’s “not hurting my friends” order (Shaula did the pose that is the same as Subaru’s pose, the one in which he points his finger to the sky). Other prohibited things include: resist against what the trial says, does something inappropriate to the library, and destroys the tower.
Shaula: "As long as no one breaks the rule. My body is mine. No, it belongs to sensei-sama."
Subaru: "I don't need that."
Shaula: "Instantly rejected. But my heart will always follows sensei's."
Subaru: "I don't need that either."

They started looking for the staircase to the second floor, and found the staircase appeared next to the green house where Rem and Ram were at.
