Hi guys! By the time I wrote this, we reached 25K views! What's the next goal? 50K, 100K, or perhaps even 1M? Well, despite having around 30 chapters released, this journey is only beginning! Arc 5 might be around 3 times the length of Arc 4, mainly because I kind of just skimmed over the first 4 arcs since I assumed that y'all watched the anime but barely read the LNs / WNs since their translation progress is slow.
Anyways... if you are starved for content, go to the Re: Zero wiki if u don't care about spoilers, or just read the WN at Witch Cult's Translations! There's also the channel Jakez123 that does a great job at summarizing the latest WN chapters that might not even be on WCT (Witch Cult Translations)!
Anyways, enjoy!
Colette POV, 3rd Person Omniscient
Colette dipped her hands into the freezing-cold water, her narrow shoulders shuddering.
"Gha, it's cold. So cold..."
She rubbed her numbing fingers together in the water while letting out frosted breaths. The dirt clinging to her fingers slowly washed away into the river and she began to feel them again.
It was that time of the year where it was getting much colder. Colette's hometown didn't really get that warm to begin with; however, even if she was used to that, it didn't mean that she was immune to the chill of the Ice Season. To make matters worse, the air was far, far colder this year compared to the typical year.
Though adults would probably laugh it off as her being "cheeky" if she used a phrase like "compared to the typical year" considering she was still 12 years old.
"There, all cleaned up now. Still, it's so cold... I'm gonna have to hurry and warm myself up by the fire." The brown-haired girl muttered to herself, trying to help herself do her daily duties.
Colette drew her washed hands out from the water, then picked up her bracelet, which she'd left on a nearby tree stump, and slipped it back onto her wrist. With a shudder of her narrow shoulders, she turned back towards her small cabin.
She'd already gone ahead and kindled a fire in front of her cabin, having imagined something like this would have happened. Back when she'd still not been used to these kinds of chores, she'd ended up putting off lighting the fire until later. But because of that, she'd kept failing to light it due to her frozen numb fingers, and had been left unable to even get warm.
Nevertheless, Colette took those failures as a learning experience; one that would help her to spread her wings out and grow. She would probably fail again when she next unfurled them, but she'd use those failures as a learning experience as well.
Slowly but steadily, one step at a time. That was Colette's mantra.
"I don't need to rush since it's the Ice Season, though it'll be much tougher on me if I don't. So I'll..."
Colette began to walk over to her cabin so she could warm herself by her fire, all the while checking off the steps she'd done from her fingers. Then...
"...You there, do you perhaps have a moment?"
Suddenly, Colette heard a voice echoing. She stopped in her tracks, having been in the motion of heading back.
She'd heard a girl's voice, one which she wasn't familiar with. The village she'd been raised in wasn't that big, so all its inhabitants knew each other. She could immediately tell who it was when anyone spoke.
Since her voice hadn't matched any of them, Colette felt a little, or rather, fairly surprised. She nervously turned around to look at the river where she'd just washed her hands in.
