Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Vol. 27 (light novel)

A LONG WAY FROM HOME. Unintentionally sent flying to the Empire of Volakia, Subaru Natsuki reunites with Rem, who has finally woken up again. However, his joy lasts only for a moment before the two of them are pulled into a massive internal struggle embroiling the entire empire. Forced to deal with the deposed emperor, Subaru vows to bring Rem home to the Kingdom of Lugunica by any means necessary. Of course, that's easier said than done when he gets caught in a spiral of death that is impossible to predict and is the cruel result of decisions he made himself.
