"Remram, please go out first. I have something to discuss with Subaru." Yuexing ordered Remram after he came in.
"But it's okay to just sit there as soon as the guests arrive," Rem said worriedly.
"Don't worry, this guy is like this. He always needs to wake up when he gets up. Don't worry," Yuexing explained.
Remram nodded and left doubtfully.
"What happened yesterday? Why did you appear outside?" Yuexing leaned against the door and looked at Subaru.
"I don't know. Yesterday I was reviewing I text, but suddenly I felt very sleepy. I couldn't get rid of the sleepiness. I just felt that my body was slowly starting to lose strength, and I felt a strong sense of fatigue."
"I also tried to make a sound to call for help, but I couldn't... It seemed like something was stuck in my throat."
"……And after that"
"I wanted to go to you for help, and then to Emilia for help, but I didn't have the strength and could only lean on the wall and crawl slowly. In the end, I didn't even have the strength to crawl. I always brag about my body.
How strong, the result...ha"
Hehehe laughed at himself and then said
"Finally I saw the chains, then I heard a noise and was knocked away, and then, you came..." Subaru raised his head
The feeling Subaru was talking about was like feeling weak, accompanied by dizziness, like exhaustion after extreme exercise.
"But I didn't die immediately after that. I even heard your conversation." Subaru's words silenced Yuexing.
"Haha, I naively thought that I could gain their trust, but in the end it was the two of them who killed me, hahaha," Subaru said to himself like a madman.
"You know Yuexing, I really envy you. You are so powerful and can still have the favor of everyone. But I always have nothing and keep wandering in death. This is not a skill at all, but a skill.
A curse." Subaru hugged his head and cried.
"But, Subaru, don't forget how we got here. You saved not only your own fate, but also everyone else's. If it weren't for you, maybe I would have died in the battle with Elsa."
Yuexing’s sincere words
"But you were still dead at that time..."
"No, I'm alive now," Yuexing said, staring into Subaru's eyes.
Subaru was shocked and seemed to understand something.
"Do you understand? It's not everyone who changes this, but you yourself. Do you remember the smell Rem said? I don't have this smell on my body. Do you know what this means?"
"If I had not come to this world, you would have to experience these things by yourself. You need to face them alone."
"We have experienced so many reincarnations. We have chosen to save them every time, right? I wonder if you have noticed that before you die, you always save someone."
"You know, they are always them, it is us who change! What changes is just what we do now!"
"Just like today, for Remram, you just sat on the bed without saying a word. For Emilia, you are in a bad mood today. They don't know what happened to you. If you hadn't
Today I am here to persuade you, are you still giving up on yourself like this?"
"But, I know you can do it, absolutely! Come out of this shadow! Because we are partners!"
Subaru's eyes regained clarity. He stood up, wiped away his tears with both hands, and looked at the moon and stars solemnly.
"It's so nice to meet you"
After speaking, Subaru opened the door and strode out.
"Who would be willing to face death if they could make a change?"
Yuexing looked at the light coming in from the window and felt something in her heart
In the following days, everything was as usual, it was already the fourth day
While mastering the RO language during this period, I was still investigating the real cause of Subaru's death. The people in the mansion had almost ruled it out. Except for Rem and Ram, who couldn't be sure, the rest was the village at the foot of the mountain.
On the way to the village, I recalled the previous conversation when I asked Beatrice for advice.
…
"Spell? Why do you ask about this thing?" Beatrice sat on the chair and looked at the moon and stars.
"Can a spell cause someone to die unconsciously?"
"Your thoughts are really dangerous. But I can only tell you that the spell can definitely be done."
"How to cast a curse?"
"As long as you have actual contact with it"
"Are there any signs of starting the spell?"
"No, if the magician is nearby, there will be magic fluctuations."
"Is there any way to prevent the spell from being activated?"
"Just kill the person who cast the spell."
…
"Are you back here again?" Looking at the happy scene here, you will rarely see this kind of scene in this world.
Everything is so harmonious, but they don't know that there will be a monster invasion at night
Yuexing stayed there for a long time, until a little boy ran over
"Gege, who are you?"
"I came here from Roswaal-sama's house to observe the situation." Yuexing touched the little boy's head.
"Lord Roswaal, come here, look around and ask whatever you want." An uncle carrying a hoe passed by and said to Yuexing
"Thank you then." After saying that, he walked into the village.
As soon as we entered the village, a group of children gathered around us, discussing each other with each other.
Some children say Yuexing is a bodyguard, a doctor, a housekeeper, and some say she is a servant.
Yuexing didn't say anything, letting them use their imagination
Suddenly, a little girl with brown hair in a bun walked into the field of view. The dog in her hand attracted attention, and that dog was the one that bit Yuexing.
Yuexing walked forward and squatted down in front of the little girl
"Is this your puppy? It's so cute."
"No, we just picked this up on the road."
"Picked it up? Aren't you afraid of it biting someone?" Yuexing is obviously brooding over Subaru's death.
"No, she's so good~ She's a bitch. Girls don't bite, right?" The girl gently stroked the puppy's head
Yuexing also reached out and touched the puppy's head, but nothing happened.
[Could it be the smell of the witch? Beasts will run wild if they smell it?] Yuexing looked at the dog thoughtfully.
"Hey, big brother, do you know that blue-haired maid?"
"Blue hair...Rem?" Yuexing was stunned for a moment.
"What's the matter?"
The little girl took out two small candies from her pocket and put them into Yuexing's hand.
"One is for you, Da Gege, and the other is for little sister."
Yuexing looked at the candy in her hand and wondered, "Why should I give you candy?"
"The puppy ran away when I was naughty. A lady passing by helped me find the puppy."
"Okay, I will definitely deliver the candy to her."
Afterwards, Yuexing played with the children for a while and then went to the edge of the village. There were glowing crystals attached to the tree trunks, forming a barrier around the village.
"This is the barrier."
"Yes, this is used to prevent the invasion of monsters." A farmer carrying a hoe said as he passed by.
"Well, I suggest you check the barrier. Something may happen recently, so it's best to check it."
"Okay, I will inform everyone."
In the following time, I walked around the village for a few times and then left the village.
When we reached the mansion, it was almost seven o'clock
Walked to the door of the house and knocked on the door
The door opened quickly and it was Rem
"Yuexing, you are back."
"Well, I went to the village for a walk."
"There is still food in the restaurant. Rem will heat it up for you."
"It's my pleasure to trouble you."
after eating
"By the way Rem, this is for you." Yuexing took out the candy from his pocket and handed it to Rem.
"This is?"
"Do you still remember the little girl you helped in the village? This is her thank you gift for you."
"Ah, it's the little girl holding the dog... did she give it to me?" Rem was a little surprised.
"Take it, you are all good boys." Yuexing nodded.
"Hmm..." Rem picked up the candy carefully, as if it was a very precious thing.
After returning to the room, I found Subaru waiting inside.
"Yuexing, you're back."
"Um"
"How's it going?" Subaru was a little worried.
"I asked you to sign a contract with Beatrice, have you done it?"
"She promised to protect me until tomorrow morning."
Yuexing nodded with satisfaction
"Then, there's no problem. Maybe you don't have to die," Yuexing said
"real?"
"Let's go to Beatrice's Forbidden Library first."
"good"
Subaru ran to a location, opened the door and went straight in.
"Even if I don't use that door, I can still get in." Yuexing said and opened the door next to him, and what he saw was the Forbidden Library.
"You two guys, you treat this as your own room, right?" Beatrice sat on the chair, a little dissatisfied with Subaru and Yuexing's behavior.
"I'm sorry, Lady Beatrice," Yuexing apologized with a smile.
Beatrice snorted coldly and ignored Yuexing.
"I'm here with you tonight, don't worry," Yuexing said to Subaru
Subaru nodded and went to the library to pick up a book and read it.
Yuexing looked at the knowledge about magic in the corner
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.
"Strange, what's going on?" Yuexing stood up in surprise and took a look at Subaru's situation. There was no problem. Then there was another person Yuexing cared about...
"Rem! Could something have happened to her? Damn it, I should have realized it earlier."
After saying that, Yuexing rushed out of the Forbidden Library. Beatrice glanced at Yuexing and had no other reaction.
Rush out of the door and appear on the second floor
"Lan-ji"
With the blessing of consuming life force, I quickly searched for Rem's location. When I passed a room on the first floor, I heard a slight gasp from inside.
"Found it! Rem! I am Yuexing! Open the door!" Yuexing knocked on the door vigorously, but there was no movement inside except the sound of breathing.
"No, I can't wait for 'Lan-po'!" Summoned Tang Dao and blasted the door open.
After the smoke cleared, Rem was seen lying on the bed, breathing weakly and looking pale.
"Damn it, has the spell already taken effect? We need to call someone quickly!" He picked up Rem and ran to the hall.
I discovered it in the hall. Finding Ram or Emilia in a huge mansion is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"It's too late, so I can only forcefully wake everyone up. I'm so sorry for Rem's sake!"
He hugged Rem tightly in his arms and stared at him intently.
"Wind Blade Storm - Extreme"
For a moment, huge wind elements gathered around Yuexing's body, and then the wind elements formed countless wind blades and slashed crazily towards the various walls of the hall.
Although the damage to the hall was not great, the accumulated magic and the loud sound and vibration caused were enough to alarm everyone in the mansion. Even the Forbidden Library had a slight vibration.
"What's going on, Huang Yuexing, what are you doing at night?" Roswaal was the one who moved fastest.
Then came Ram and Emilia in pajamas.
"Is there an enemy attack?" Emilia said nervously
"Rem!!!!" Ram saw the weak Rem in Yuexing's arms at a glance, and rushed towards Yuexing.
"Rem! What's wrong with you! Don't scare Ram!" Ram looked at Rem anxiously, but Rem's breathing became weaker and weaker.
Rem slowly opened his eyes, looked at the people around him, and finally focused on Ram.
"Sister..." Rem raised his hand unsteadily, trying to wipe away Ram's tears, but in the end his hand fell down weakly, and the candy he kept holding tightly in his hand rolled to the ground.
Yuexing hugged Rem tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Ram covered his face and collapsed on the ground crying. Emilia's purple eyes were wet.
"The cause of death was due to weakness, and he was killed by a spell." Roswaal looked at it for a while and said.
Yuexing was silent for a while, handed Rem to Ram, stood up, said a few words to Emilia, and staggered out of the hall.
"Where do you want to go?!" Ram cried and yelled at Yuexing
"revenge!!!"
"I'll go with you!" Ram put down Rem and chased the moon star
"Wind Bound"
A gust of wind blew by, and when it passed by Ram, it formed an entity and bound Ram.
"Take care of Rem, don't expect me to come back alive." Yuexing said and disappeared from the place, leaving only one sentence.
After a while, violent wind element fluctuations came from the direction of the village, and all the wind elements within a ten-mile radius gathered in the sky above the village. This strange phenomenon can be felt even in the mansion.
Yuexing stood quietly outside the barrier, looking at the vast forest. He raised his hand and gathered a large amount of wind elements in his hand.
"Tornado Storm"
Suddenly, a storm emerged out of thin air, rolling up the trees on the ground and rushing forward.
"...Not enough, not enough, give me your life force!"
The door in Yuexing's body was pushed to pieces by the wind elements pouring outwards, and nosebleeds suddenly flowed down uncontrollably.
"It's not enough! Die to me all!"
"Plural-the world is wreaking havoc"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuexing immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and all her orifices began to bleed. The extreme consumption and replenishment of Maya and vitality brought a huge physical burden to the body.
"Hahahahaha... let me all die." Standing in the raging storm, watching the roar of the monster when it was swept up into the sky, he laughed.
When the strong wind passed, all the monsters in the forest disappeared, but at the same time, the forest also disappeared...
Yuexing lay quietly on the ground, her hair turned gray, her eyes lost their clarity, and two lines of blood and tears dripped down. Little did they know that within a radius of ten miles, all that was left was dust and debris.
The forest that was once full of life is now nothing but silence.
…
The effect of the magic had disappeared, and Ram immediately rushed out.
"Ram, wait, come and see with me." Emilia stopped Ram and led her into a room.
There is nothing special about this room, except that the window faces the direction of the village.
The dense forest once blocked the village. Now the forest has disappeared, leaving only the isolated village and large areas of loess.
Ram stared blankly at the open space next to the village, hugged Emilia and cried bitterly, and Emilia also had wet eyes.
Because in that open space, there was a simple drawing depicting Rem's appearance, and next to the drawing was an unconscious figure...
…
Subaru walked out of the Forbidden Library. He realized that he had survived the fourth day and successfully ushered in the fifth day.
"I'm not dead..." Subaru murmured
"Great! I'm not dead!" Subaru shouted excitedly
"Yuexing, look, we succeeded... Where is Yuexing...?" Subaru found that Yuexing was not by his side, and felt something was wrong.
"Pleiades……"
Emilia stood in the corridor, her expression a little heavy
"What's wrong? Where's Yuexing?" Subaru asked.
"You come with me..." Emilia silently walked to a room
Subaru followed Emilia into the room and followed Emilia's gaze.
"I remember that over there is the direction of the village. What now...the painting on the ground...is Yuexing's handiwork, right? What happened yesterday!" Subaru yelled at Emilia.
"Last night... Rem... died." Emilia shed tears.
"How could..." Subaru's eyes were dull and his face was lifeless.
"Roswaal said that Rem died of a curse. Yuexing ran out after hearing this. This is what you saw next," Emilia said intermittently.
"I understand... how important Rem is in your heart, but you shouldn't be so stupid..." Subaru murmured while looking at the clearing.
Just like that, Subaru went downstairs in a daze and saw Ram holding Rem in his arms without saying a word.
Ram heard the sound and raised his head to see Subaru
"You...do you know something...Yuexing said it was revenge, and then he never came back...and left something like that..." Ram sobbed.
"A magical beast sneaked into the village... It was that magical beast that cast a curse on Rem... Damn it!" Subaru squatted on the ground holding his head, unwilling to accept this fact.
"Yuexing destroyed the entire forest just to avenge Rem...but he never came back..." Emilia said heavily on the stairs.
"...I'm going out for a while." Subaru stood up and walked towards the door as if he had decided something.
"Subaru, Yuexing asked me to tell you something. He said I'm waiting for you." Emilia suddenly remembered something and called to Subaru.
"I don't want an ending like this, you guy... don't worry, I'll let you back right away... right now" Subaru walked towards the outside of the mansion
