"Let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Sun Yuexing. For some reasons, I temporarily live in Roswaal's mansion on the border. I am now a magic apprentice. If Subaru and I cause something to you or others,
We apologize for any inconvenience..."
Facing the stranger in front of her, Yuexing's heart was filled with doubts
"Okay, there's no need to be so formal. I'm just an ordinary maid. Why don't you tell me something about that girl?"
Frandelica looked at Rem lying on the sofa
"Her name is Rem, she is Ram's sister... Even though I say that, you have no impression at all, right?"
"It's a pity that it is true, but there is no doubt about this identity."
Yuexing raised her chin slightly and gestured to the corridor
"I'll tell you on the way, I want Rem to sleep in the room, and she...ah, let's keep it in my room."
"Is it the room on the second floor? I understand. Please go this way."
Frandelica didn't say anything unnecessary, and opened the door as a guide.
And Yuexing went to the east building of the mansion with her
"In my eyes, Rem and Ram are sisters who have a very good relationship. They have been since they were young..."
On the way, Subaru began to tell the truth that Frandelica did not remember.
The past life of the girl Rem, and what a lovable girl she is
While telling Frandelica, Yuexing was thinking about what happened recently.
——There must be something happening that I didn’t notice.
When the handwritten letter sent by Cursch's messenger to Emilia was replaced with a blank piece of paper and became the cause of the misunderstanding, Subaru deduced that it was a trap set by the Witch Cult. Even he thought so, but in fact
That's wrong. At that point in time, the Witch's Cult should not have been able to grasp the thinking of Subaru and his group, and there was no chance to replace the autographed letter. Moreover, rather than dropping the letter, directly committing violence was what the Witch's Cult did.
In this case, there is only one truth why the handwritten letter will turn into blank paper
The content of the handwritten letter was written by Rem, and Subaru was the one who entrusted someone else to send it. Ms. Cursch ordered the messenger to deliver the letter... As a result, only the fact that the letter was delivered was left, but the content was missing.
This is the result of fabrication and correction to make up for Rem’s existence being erased from the world.
"——It's a bit unbelievable."
After asking and answering his questions, he got the usual answers. At the same time, Frandelica calmly said this after listening to what he said.
There was no negativity in her words. She looked around and said:
"This is her... Rem's original room, probably, although it has been kept very clean."
The room the two entered was Rem's personal room on the first floor. It was now tidied up like a guest room, with no personal belongings at all.
"Ram should have taken care of it in advance."
When I came to the room on the second floor, there was no clutter in the room.
"Because someone has lived in it, nothing has been touched except for simple dusting, because there is absolutely no need to tidy it up," Frandelica said.
Subaru gently placed Rem's body on the bed
Slight breathing and body temperature prove that she is still alive. She is asleep but does not need to eat. She is sweating and excreting, which is the symptom of "Sleeping Beauty"
"Lord Yuexing, I will take care of the necessary care..."
"No need to trouble you... I... ah, maybe I can only ask you to take good care of Rem. In fact, I don't need to take care of you. I don't need it for the time being..."
Yuexing was silent for a while, sighed and said
"There is no need to take care of Rem for the time being. For some reason, she does not need to eat or bathe... However, please take care of her as much as possible. This is the only thing I want to ask of you."
What the "Rem" outside needs most now is protection, but the real "Rem" is still in his mind.
If Rem knew that she was forgotten by her own sister, she would feel uncomfortable.
"I understand, since she is Ram's sister, she is also my sister - I wonder how the master and Ram will react when they come back."
"Who can guess Roswaal... Ram's reaction will probably be the same as before."
"I know everything about Master and Ram. The reason why they are not in the house is because Emilia-sama was elected as a candidate for the king, which led to the dispatch of the Witch Cult... This is a natural judgment."
"Did you hear about Wang Xuan before you resigned?"
"Lady Emilia came here half a year ago. I was still working here at that time, so being able to take leave has something to do with it."
Standing next to Yuexing who was tidying up things around Rem, Frandelica was doing simple cleaning work except for the bed.
Yuexing, who felt something was wrong during the conversation with her during this period, frowned.
"You didn't resign, but you stayed in your job, and you said you had something to do with Wang Xuan..."
"——It is my mission to rectify the people around the master for the sake of Wang Xuan."
"Revise the people around you?"
"Once the half-elf Emilia is recommended as a candidate, there will definitely be a dispute. Before the situation evolves into that, I will send the people around me to other places, and only Ram who can protect himself will be left in the mansion...
...Ram and Rem."
This is the answer to the strange feeling I felt in the mansion from the beginning
Considering the size of Roswaal's mansion, it seems unreasonable that the only servants in the mansion are two sisters, Ram and Rem. In fact, thanks to the powerful Rem, the mansion can maintain its operation.
"Under the instructions of the master, most of the servants were sent to other employment agencies. I have been working here for a long time, so I also helped with the processing. In the end, I even left the mansion...although I ended up coming back like this."
"————"
The fact that Frandelica returned to the mansion was caused by the loss of Rem, although the answer has already been derived.
But Roswaal's actions clearly went against common sense during the preparations for the King's Selection and later.
"Flandelica, how much do you know about this matter?"
"Excuse me, what is it, Lord Yuexing?"
"From what I just heard, Roswaal has made a lot of preparations for the king's election. The relationship between half-elves and the Witch Cult seems to be common sense and dangerous. I already know this, but-"
Pausing here, Yuexing continued
"Where is the key countermeasure against the Witch Cult? Both Rem and Kursch said it is impossible, but I don't think there is one. Otherwise, why would it be..."
What I recalled in my mind were the villagers of Alam village who were first ravaged and massacred by the Witch Cult, and the tragic situation of Ram and Rem who died fighting with them - the Mezas territory.
Where was the countermeasure when that horrific scene happened? Roswaal wasn't even there.
"If you knew what would happen..."
"It's a pity that I can't know what the master is thinking. There are only two people in the world who can trust the master."
"You two...?"
"——Ram and the great elf guarding the Forbidden Library"
Frandelica said that they are two people who may understand Roswaal's thoughts. It is not a one-sided understanding. If Ram is so loyal to Roswaal that he would sacrifice his life, he really deserves this trust.
but
"The Great Elf of the Forbidden Library..."
"In this mansion, there is a space that is isolated by magic, and that is the Forbidden Library... It is the great elf who uses his own magic power to isolate the secrets within secrets from the outside world."
"name is?"
"Your mentor - Lady Beatrice, she is the great elf who serves as the librarian of the Forbidden Library in this room."
