🕑 Added 2025-04-13 08:27:19 +0000 UTCChapter 15: Rem's Worries
【 The screen shimmered to reveal a dimly lit mansion guest room, dawn's pale light filtering through the curtains. There, in the bed—
"Oh, he's awake, sister."
"Yes, he's awake, Rem."
Ram's sharp pink eyes narrowed first, her voice dripping with trademark condescension.
Subaru looked towards the window, and Rem and Ram said knowingly:
"It's seven o'clock on Yang Day, Guest."
"It's seven o'clock on Yang Day, Guest."
"So, if we don't count the brief awakening last time, I've slept for almost a whole day. But, considering my record is two and a half days straight, it's nothing much." 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"Uh... Natsuki-san seems quite proud?"
"Subaru-sama, this is really..."
"Natsuki, you, time is money."
Otto, Wilhelm, and Anastasia simultaneously offered harsh retorts.
"Ah, it's a pity Rem isn't here, otherwise she could have admired Subaru-kun's sleeping face for a long time."
Only Rem gave a positive evaluation, and then felt jealous that Natsuki Rem could admire Subaru-kun's sleeping face every morning and evening.
【 "Oh, the glutton is talking, Sister."
"Yes, the good-for-nothing is talking, Rem."
"Hey, who are these two sisters who have been criticizing me like a stereo from the start?" 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"Hmm..."
Rem felt ashamed of her attitude towards Subaru.
She remembered that at that time, her attitude towards Subaru wasn't very good.
What a shameful memory of not knowing how good Subaru-kun was when she was young!
"Ah, it seems like what Barusu said is true, it wasn't love at first sight. Rather, is Barusu lying to Ram? How could Ram's cute sister fall in love with that Barusu."
Seeing Rem's attitude towards Barusu, Ram judged.
"Sister! Even if it's Sister, you can't say that about Subaru-kun!"
"Sister! Even if it's Sister, you can't say that about Darling!"
The two Rems spoke to Ram like a stereo, as if in a picture.
"Alright, alright, I won't say it."
Faced with her beloved sister, Ram took a step back.
But... does this mean she really... killed...?
Rem re-examined her attitude towards Subaru-kun at that time and came to this reasonable guess.
But...
No, it must not be like this.
Subaru-kun said that Rem was Subaru-kun's first date, and since Rem doesn't remember, the date must have happened here.
Since Rem and Subaru-kun went on a date, Rem probably didn't want to kill him...?
That must be it!
Rem told herself.
Her heart didn't dare to face that guess.
【 "...Couldn't you wake up a bit more peacefully?"
In the picture, just as Subaru was bickering with Rem and Ram, Emilia arrived after hearing the noise. 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"It's not the scene I remember."
Emilia said with some worry.
【 "You've got great taste! The person who picked the clothes has great taste!"
In the picture, Subaru couldn't help but praise Emilia, who was wearing pajamas and was unguarded. 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"Hmm... Does Darling like these kinds of clothes?"
Natsuki Rem said softly, and she secretly noted it in her heart.
【 "Although I don't know what you mean by that, it's a pity. I know it must be something boring. And I heard Beatrice played a prank on you, I was a little worried... What a waste of concern." 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"Hmm? Prank? Who would be bored enough to do that. That's what Onii-chan said, right."
"Ehehe."
Puck lightly stuck out his tongue.
【 "Being able to see you as soon as I wake up makes me feel great! So... although I'm a little afraid to ask..."
What did Subaru want to ask?
Was it about Emilia's health?
Or his own health?
Everyone was curious.
"Um, this... do you still... do you still remember me?"
Subaru put his hands together, revealing an uneasy expression as he asked. 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"I see."
Everyone thought of that sentence—
"I don't care who you are, but how dare you call me by the name of the 'Jealous Witch', what do you mean by that!?"
"It seems like that incident left a big psychological shadow on Little Bro."
Felt said.
"I..."
Emilia was also wondering if it was that incident that made Subaru so uneasy.
Just thinking about that scene made Emilia feel very uncomfortable.
If she blamed herself? The Emilia in that world didn't know Subaru, so it was normal to be angry at being called the Jealous Witch;
If she blamed Subaru? It was clearly herself who initially told Subaru her name was "Satella".
Perhaps I just didn't want to hurt Subaru, regardless of whether I was at fault or not.
I'm sorry...
Emilia apologized painfully in her heart.
She didn't know if she should apologize, she didn't know if that version of herself did anything wrong, but she just wanted to apologize.
No, rather than apologizing, saying thank you is more pleasing, Subaru told me this initially.
Emilia endures the pain and continues to look at the screen—
【 "I don't like that gesture of yours, and the question is a bit inexplicable. Someone as memorable as Subaru- how could I forget so easily?"
Emilia expressed her dislike for Subaru's gesture of putting his hands together, and Subaru felt relieved.
... ...
Afterwards, in the conversation, the two began to discuss taking a walk.
"Want to go for a walk?"
Emilia asked.
"A walk?"
"Yes, a walk. I was originally planning to do my daily routine in the garden. Let's go together."
"Daily routine? Watering flowers?"
"It's talking with the spirits. Contacting them every morning is one of the conditions for forming a contract with a spirit."
"Then, I'll go with you and also do some rehabilitation training, Emilia-tan."
"Hmm, as long as you don't make too much noise... Hmm? What did you just say? What does 'tan' mean? Where did it come from?" 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"Emilia... tan."
Emilia, outside the screen, covered her lips with her hand, repeating this title.
She didn't expect it to sound so intimate and reassuring now, she wanted to hear it more...
The power brought by this sentence at this time was no less than the "Emilia-tan" she heard in the Sage's Tower after losing her memory.
【 "Although I suggested the walk, don't push yourself too hard. Because you were seriously injured."
"Emilia-tan healed my injuries. Thank you for saving me. Dying is really scary, for real. once is enough."
"I think you can only die once normally... No, I shouldn't say that. I'm the one who should be thanking you. Didn't you risk your life to save a stranger like me? Healing your injuries is what I should do."
Subaru revealed a lonely expression. 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"Remembering nothing, only Subaru remembers, hiding the memories that belong only to him in his heart, Subaru must be having a hard time."
Puck said, while Emilia and the others felt their guilt deepen.
【 "Second set of radio calisthenics! Reach forward, then straighten your back forcefully—"
"Eh, no way, what!?"
Arriving at the garden for the walk, Emilia expressed her bewilderment at Subaru's actions. 】
......
~Inside of the Theater~
"HOLY—! BOSS BEEN HOLDIN’ OUT ON ME! THAT’S SOME NEXT-LEVEL TRAININ’ RIGHT THERE! THE GREAT GARFIEL’S GONNA MASTER IT FIRST TRY!"
Garfiel’s golden eyes widened to saucers as he shot upright, quickly following Subaru's movements to do it.
