IRZ: ALTTC Chapter 28
🕑 Added 2025-05-27 03:00:01 +0000 UTCChapter 28. Subaru's First Date.
【【 Meanwhile, Subaru stood in the middle of Arlam Village, covered in dirt.
"My physical strength hasn't changed, so I guess I've learned a little about how to keep my body from getting tired."
Subaru muttered to himself, and from his appearance, some viewers outside the screen guessed that he was waiting for someone.
"Subaru, sorry to keep you waiting. Are you alright?"Rem arrived, carrying shopping bags. 】】
......
~Inside, the Theater~
"What? Did they skip ahead? Oh well, I doubt Subaru would do anything to Ram."
Ram said.
Just now, after Subaru noticed Ram had fallen asleep, the scene suddenly switched to here.
"But, even though we now know that Natsuki-san isn't that kind of person, this is just from a God's-eye view. The Ram-san on the screen doesn't know that. Falling asleep in his private room when Natsuki-san is so suspicious, that's really..."
Otto scratched his face.
"Really, I don't know if the me in the screen had a screw loose. Even if that me was certain that Barusu wouldn't do anything to me, he could still have lewd fantasies about Ram."
Although based on Barusu's character and the fact that Barusu on the screen is still alive, she can confidently say that he didn't do anything, Ram still doesn't understand why she was so defenseless and fell asleep there.
"Speaking of which, why does little bro always make himself so dirty? I remember the first time I met little bro, he was covered in dirt. Although I know from that big cloth that little bro made himself dirty on purpose that time, this time it's not on purpose, and it looks even more pathetic."
Felt couldn't help but complain.
Because this Subaru is covered not only in dirt and dust, but also in snot and tears, it's not like last time, but it's even worse, since last time was on purpose, and this time it seems unintentional.
"But for Felt to say that, the sense of patheticness is even greater."
Old Man Rom said.
After all, Felt wasn't exactly a clean child before, but compared to Subaru's uncleanliness, it's like a small witch meeting a great one, making Felt unable to help but complain.
"Could it be... is this the first date that Subaru-kun was talking about?"
Rem curiously widened her eyes, wanting to know what the date that troubled her, the date that didn't exist in her memory, was like.
【【 "Oh, oh, I'm alright, I'm alright. Remrin, did you finish your shopping?"
The Subaru in the screen seemed to be waiting for Rem. After Rem arrived, Subaru replied like this.
"Yes, it went smoothly. Subaru is very popular with everyone."
"I don't know why, but I've always been popular with kids. Is it because of that? My irresistible maternal traits attract childlike innocence or something."
"It's because children, like animals, can size people up. They can instinctively tell whether or not they can bully someone."
"Isn't that a compliment?! But even so, just what is it about those kids' overly familiar attitude...? If they casually approached my cool aura, they might get hurt. Didn't they sense that?"
"One moment you're talking about maternal traits, the next you're pretending to be cool. Subaru, you're really busy all by yourself."
"Although 'all by yourself' sounds a little grating, I also feel like this way I won't be burdened by things and can live leisurely. Coming to buy things with Remrin is really nice. But speaking of which, those kids lack respect, so I don't like kids."
"Has Subaru shown the children anything that would make them respect him?" 】】
......
~Inside, the Theater~
"Pfft."
Al couldn't help but laugh out loud, his shoulders shaking from laughter.
"I can't hold it in, they're just going back and forth, it's so funny. What is this? A two-person version of rakugo? Ah, no, it's more like the straight man and funny man, hahaha."
Al was a little regretful that the current Rem had lost her sharp-tongued attribute.
Actually, there were many times when his brother said something casually, and then Ram-san and Rem-san would sarcastically dig at him, and his brother's funny responses would really hit his funny bone, but he held it in, but this time Rem's three consecutive sharp-tongued remarks were really too much for him to bear.
"Ah—the first date..."
Both Rems didn't expect that their longed-for first date would be with the sharp-tongued Subaru-kun/Darling.
The filter shattered.
【【 Then, the Subaru and Rem in the screen started talking about learning to read and write.
"Speaking of which, how's Subaru's learning progress going?"
Rem asked Subaru.
"It's going well... Although I want to say that, things aren't that simple. No matter what, it takes time and patience to cultivate. Just like love!"
"Let's hope it doesn't wither midway."
"Remrin, your comment right now is making my love wither!"
Then Rem showed a smile. 】】
......
~Inside, the Theater~
"It's strange, is this a successful attempt to gain goodwill and trust, or is all of this just a performance by Ram-san and Rem-san?"
Anastasia felt strange.
If it's a performance, then there's no need to perform to this extent, being so defenseless as to fall asleep, and without any flaws, the acting is too good; if it's not a performance, but Natsuki's performance in this loop, if you put yourself in the shoes of the two sisters, it's indeed relatively suspicious.
"No matter what, the cool lady's smile is still quite beautiful,"
Al said, then continued to look at the screen—
【【 "But, if he falls asleep on the bed during the teaching process, I'll lose motivation. I hope she doesn't do that."
Subaru complained about Ram sleeping in his room.
"Onee-sama probably did that on purpose to make Subaru work harder."
"What's with your blind worship of your sister? It's really extraordinary, it's almost like a demon's help."
"Like... a demon's help?" 】】
......
~Inside, the Theater~
"Like a demon's help?"
This time, the Rem in the screen and the Ram outside the screen were confused at the same time.
"Like a demon's help."
Both Rems heard that long-lost phrase that was enough to tug at their heartstrings, and couldn't help but tremble:
"So that's where that phrase first appeared."
【【 "It's the demon version of 'like a godsend'. Like a demon's help, doesn't it sound good?"
The Subaru on the screen explained.
"Do you like demons?"
"Probably like them more than gods. Because gods basically won't do anything for me, but I heard that if you talk to a demon about the future, it'll laugh with you." 】】
......
~Inside, the Theater~
The three Rems inside and outside the screen simultaneously bloomed with brilliant smiles—
Laughing and talking about the coming year with a demon, that's actually my dream.
Just like that phrase.
"Hmph, how foolish."
Ram crossed her arms, blew a puff of air at the hair hanging in front of her forehead, and showed a complex smile, but it was still easy to see that it was a positive smile.
I don't know if she was calling Subaru, Rem, or herself foolish, or all of them.
"Oh, Ram is being tsundere!"
Garfiel laughed loudly, pointing his finger at Ram.
Then Garfiel, who Ram thought was getting carried away, had his ear twisted by Ram again. This time, the force was greater than the previous two times.
