Rem is not jealous of them, she respects and loves them
She doesn't hate her parents either, because her parents not only love her sister, but also love Rem.
Her fellow tribesmen did not alienate her and looked forward to her because she was Ram's sister.
My sister who is better than everyone else, my parents who have high expectations for me, who cheer for me, and hope that I can become as good as my sister.
However, this was a disaster for Rem
The reason why I force my own personality and dress up like my sister is probably because of the considerable influence.
Although the height, appearance, and appearance are not much different, the qualifications for being a "ghost" are very different.
Of course, Rem also tried hard to change this situation
Although it was just a childish and clumsy attempt by a young child to microwave, Rem still tried this method just to get one step closer to his sister, or to defeat her in anything.
However, Ram is superior to Rem in every aspect
My sister always stands in front, bathed in the light that shines on the world. She peeks out timidly from behind her, and her body is shrunk by the dazzling light. This is her own place.
As long as you give up like this, you can recognize your suffering like the grass and trees blowing in the wind. But how long will this kind of life last...
…
Tim is four years old and has begun to show his prominence among the ghost clan. He has superb magic skills and a unique white-haired face. He often helps villagers everywhere and is respected by all villagers.
What puzzles the villagers is that Tim, who has such a supreme talent, has never been seen practicing magic since he personally forged a steel knife from a ghost craftsman...
"Tim, you are wielding that iron guy again. You obviously have such good qualifications..." Ram, who had just returned from the fields, said to Tim who was practicing sword skills in the woods, followed by the timid Rem.
"I'm already very proficient in magic, so there's not much need to practice anymore..." Tim walked out of the woods and shrugged.
"Rem, come here" Tim called to the small figure behind Ram
Rem crossed his hands on his chest, leaned out, and the moment he left Ram, he quickly ran towards Tim and stood tightly beside Tim, lowering his head and not daring to look elsewhere.
The villagers passing by were quite accustomed to this phenomenon. Even if they had any complaints, they had nothing to say in front of Tim, who was respected by the entire ghost clan.
"Rem, raise your head."
Tim said to Rem gently, while Ram sighed silently on the side
Rem slowly raised his head, and immediately lowered his head when he saw the eyes of the villagers.
"Don't worry Rem, your sister and I are here." Tim gently touched Rem's head, but he kept sighing.
"Brother, I..." Rem lost his voice as he spoke.
"Rem, maybe you can't do anything now...but you will definitely be able to do it in the future! At that time, remember to help others if you have the opportunity!" Tim said with a smile, shining like sunshine.
Rem’s weak heart
Tim is a completely kind person. He does not have Ram's aloof character and is very approachable. Many villagers have the idea of marrying their daughters to him, but he always refuses on the grounds that he is too young.
That's all.
It took nearly half a year for Rem to fully accept Tim. It would have taken too much time to get to know all the villagers.
If you want to develop self-confidence, it has to be a very long process.
But there is another way, which is to give a strong blow, enough to change a person's setbacks...
But, that’s what no one wants to see, isn’t it...
For such a long time, Yuexing has been practicing sword skills, largely to try to change this day...
…
One night, Rem woke up from the heat
Lying on the bed made of wooden boards, his body covered in sweat under the quilt, Rem looked around and suddenly realized that his sister who was supposed to be sleeping next to him was missing.
She thought to herself that she had to find her sister or brother quickly
If her sister is awake, she must follow that majestic figure. Even if her sister is just doing something simple, she cannot fall behind. This stubborn concept has dominated Rem for a long time.
As for her brother, what she brought to Rem was a very secure feeling. He would do everything for her; there was even a period of time when she felt that everything was just fine with her brother... But Rem thought of her one-horned queen. Then I gave up this idea and continued to move in the direction of my sister.
Walking out of the room——When he thought this, Rem took a step slowly to realize
The heat is really unbearable - because the home I'm used to living in has been surrounded by flames
Only when the doorknob was so hot that he shrank his hand, Rem realized this fact.
After smelling the burning smell of the fire, the horns on his forehead came out
The strengthened body broke the door panel and rushed out of the house surrounded by flames. Although he didn't know the reason, his instinct drove him to rush out.
Even in this case, the only thing that dominates Rem's mind is the almost blind thought of "find my sister and follow her instructions"
This idea was instantly changed after witnessing the scene outside my home.
In the center of the village, a large number of charred corpses were piled up
The house was burning fiercely, with only the branches burned. The familiar world in front of us turned into a red hell in one night.
In the pile of corpses burned by the flames, seeing familiar faces huddled together, Rem slumped on the spot.
The figures in black robes slowly surrounded Rem, and a smile that did not suit the current situation appeared on Rem's face.
That is the expression of a young girl who is overly optimistic and has given up countless times.
The man in black robe ignored him at all, raised the shining silver blade in his hand and swung it at the girl.
Then, a white light flashed like a whirlwind
The black-robed head flew up, blood spilled out, and four lives were taken away at the same time.
The clever technique didn’t even sound like a scream.
A figure wearing a white robe and holding a knife appeared in front of him, and the horn on his forehead exuded a strong aura.
My sister ran over after killing the enemies in the distance.
The moment he saw it through, Rem stood up on the spot
Since my sister is here, I have to follow behind
The elder sister rushed over and hugged the younger sister tightly. After confirming that Rem in her arms was not injured, she relaxed her body with peace of mind.
Holding that body tightly, Rem felt completely happy
——She doesn’t remember much about what happened after that.
I just want to leave everything to my brothers and sisters.
However, when they regained consciousness, the three of them were surrounded
There are so many figures that they cover the field of vision
Rem stared blankly. Even so, she still firmly believed that her brothers and sisters would find a way to solve the problem.
My brother was shouting something in front of me, and then he rushed towards the crowd.
A silver-white figure is constantly flashing. Following the white light, the crowd is falling down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and is quickly being replenished.
Fire continued to burst out among the crowd. After a huge explosion, the outnumbered white figure disappeared. Rem suddenly felt his heart tightening.
She cast her helpless eyes on her sister, who stood up with a loud voice and opened her hands in front of her with her back turned.
Maya writhed, her sister's unusual power spread out, and the invisible blade cut the world around her.
Then, Rem saw
Steel was swung from the side, the white light on my sister's head flew up into the red sky, and the severed horn kept spinning in the air.
Blood spurted out from the broken horn at the root, and then a high-pitched scream was heard.
What she thought when she witnessed this is still fresh in her mind
——Ah, it’s finally broken
Rem thinks so
…
Rem doesn't even know what happened after that.
All I know is that I have unknowingly left my familiar hometown and been hidden in a huge mansion, with my sister who has lost her "horn" beside me.
But it seems... there seems to be something missing
My sister, who regained consciousness first, was ecstatic that Rem had woken up.
But what Rem is thinking about now is the figure whose memory is not clear. The only person he clearly remembers is the person who is as important as his sister.
Today's sister's behavior is the same as before, but she doesn't have the same talents that she used to have in everything.
He often worries about small things, giving Rem many opportunities to help.
Faced with a sister who had lost her past glory and was now inferior to him in ability, Rem felt a sense of superiority that she had never had in the past - although it was only budding, it was wrong.
From this moment on, what re-grows in Rem’s body and mind is the obsessive concept that overrides his past sense of inferiority.
That is, the strong sense of guilt that caused the sister who was loved by the world to be driven to the ground, and the disappearing figure
Rem has a strong love for her sister, and is also driven by this sense of guilt.
But Rem loves his sister deeply, and what was he thinking when his sister's horn was broken? Rem can't forget it.
"Rem must do all the things that my sister can do in her place."
Facing everything and the responsibilities given to me, I complete them all with the mentality of "I would do this if I were a sister."
Since childhood, I have followed my sister and learned every move, so I don’t have any confusion when making judgments.
Obviously I do it with that mentality, but the results are often far lower than what I expected.
Of course, my sister is more powerful. My flawed sister and myself who are not good enough in the first place are not as good as the older sister in the past.
The road that should have been guided by my sister, now I have to explore by myself, holding her hand and walking forward.
Rem has not forgotten the figure who has enlightened him since he was a child and can bring him a sense of security.
As the years passed, Rem moved from her burned hometown to the mansion that housed the two of them. The two people who deviated from their ideals day after day slowly wore down Rem's mind.
Being a servant was not his intention. The owner of the mansion who took them in was very kind. More importantly, his sister was fascinated by him to the point where she could be said to have devoted herself to him and didn't care.
If there is any problem with this happy and happy life, it is all Rem's responsibility.
"You did a good job." The master praised him, and he had heard it countless times in his hometown.
"Don't force yourself" My sister often worries about Rem, but even if she forces herself, it's still not enough
Why are you working so hard? I don’t know who asked Rem this irresponsible question.
——Does that need to be said?
Because no matter what you do, you can't do it well, even if you try your best
——What do you live for?
This is all to atone for my foolish thoughts on that blazing night.
——What can we do to atone for our sins?
I risked my life to carve out the path that my sister should have taken when Rem took her away.
Because everything about me is a degraded version of my sister, and I am just a useless substitute.
Rem spent nearly seven years in a mentally draining life, and the figure in his heart gradually faded away.
As for Rem, even though she was not satisfied with any of the results during this period, people around her praised her for her hard work.
He was evaluated as smart and capable in Roswaal's mansion, and was appointed as Roswaal's confidant at the important moment of the King's Selection.
"I deserve these compliments." While answering this, Rem's heart was filled with a sense of anxiety that never diminished.
The accumulated guilt not only did not disappear, but even tightened her heart - and prompted her to dedicate her life to her sister.
"I am Huang Yuexing, please give me some advice when we meet for the first time!"
"My name is Natsuki Subaru! I am an invincible person with no work experience! Please give me your advice!"
A strange person sneaked into the Roswaal mansion on the day when my sister and Emilia returned from the royal capital.
It is said that they are Emilia's benefactors. A man covered in blood carried another seriously injured boy into the mansion. After the two boys woke up, they negotiated with Roswaal. In an instant, one became a trainee servant and the other became a servant.
Apprentice learning magic
It is natural for Rem to have a strong distrust towards these boys of unknown origin.
Especially the guy who worked as a maid, he always showed a blank smile on the first and second days, and deliberately came into contact with Rem and her sister, all of which increased her negative emotions.
What's more, the smell from that boy's body reminded Rem of the unbearable memories of the past.
"The lingering fragrance of the witch"
Ever since the night when his hometown was devoured by a sea of fire, Rem's nose has been able to smell the faint scent.
The reason is unknown, but seven years have proven that this kind of aura can awaken unpleasant memories, and it comes exclusively from people who plan bad things.
Naturally, Rem looked at the servant boy harshly.
The other person is very mysterious, and his polite temperament is completely opposite to that guy. He is also a person with a low sense of existence. He does not behave as weirdly as the servant boy, but he always likes to cause destruction in terms of magic.
For Rem, these two people are always a threat to the mansion and a place where he can always protect his sister with peace of mind.
As far as he could see, the behavior of the two teenagers did not cause disharmony, but even if he followed his sister's advice and continued to observe him, Rem still believed that they should be driven away from the mansion as soon as possible.
However, on the night when he was ordered to teach Yuexing how to calligraphy, Rem felt a sense of security that he had not seen for a long time.
That was the only night since Subaru arrived that I didn't have nightmares.
The lingering fragrance of the witch brought by Subaru always awakens the memories that he least wanted to touch when he was a child in his sleep at night.
——The night when I lost my brother and my sister lost her horn.
Regarding this brother, Rem also asked Ram questions, but the reply he received was that the relationship between them was not very good.
When I went to ask the owner, the owner replied that he had not found this person, but he left a knife behind.
And that knife is currently placed in the storage room, treasured by Rem.
Until the night when Roswaal was gone——
"——In just one night, the village will be devoured by monsters."
Yuexing appeared solemnly in the hall, with an anxious Subaru beside him. Under his sister's instructions, Rem, who followed him to the village, was still a little suspicious. However, when he arrived at the village, he found that there was a child whose whereabouts were unknown, and there was a knot.
The circle has lost its function
"Rem, it's still too late to turn back now."
Yuexing said this before entering the forest in the hope that Rem could leave this dangerous place.
Knowing that there is a threat deep in the forest, but stubbornly moving forward, in order to save the children surrounded by monsters, he never looked back.
Yuexing watched a person enter the depths. The weapon in his hand was exactly the same as the knife. The familiar breath of the wind element made Rem, who was treating the child, feel confused.
The feeling that cannot be expressed in words filled Rem's body in the form of heat.
The person in his childhood overlaps with the young man in front of him
That night when I was surrounded by witch cultists and never looked back
After delivering the children to the Youth League, he went deep into the forest and found Yuexing who was fighting.
After getting the message "Trust me this time, I will delay the time", he took the child from Yuexing
After sending the last child back to the village, he arrived at Yuexing's place with the tiny breath left in the air. He happened to be at the end of his rope when he was surrounded by a swarm of monsters.
There were a large number of Warcraft remains scattered around, the air was filled with the breath of Warcraft and wind elements, a large number of blades were standing on the ground, blood stained the ground under their feet, and the broken bodies fell to the ground.
Rem panicked and hurriedly brought Yuexing back to the village to start treatment. This was not only to repay the favor, but also to confirm whether he was the same person back then.
As soon as Yuexing wakes up, what matters is Rem and the villagers, not herself.
Rem heard clearly the conversation between Yuexing and Parker. At this time, Rem found that he had accepted the existence of the man in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and a bud called love burst out in his heart.
After Yuexing's confession, this feeling became stronger and stronger, making Rem unable to calm down.
The Rem at this moment is not the Rem who has always imitated Ram, but the true self that has been sealed away for more than ten years.
…
"It's so late, why did Yuexing call me out?"
Rem, wearing pajamas, was bathing in the moonlight, standing beside the pool with the rippling moon.
Yuexing smiled, summoned the Tang Dao, and used the Tang Dao to carefully trim his hair.
Rem was very puzzled and didn’t understand the meaning of Yuexing’s actions.
"Do you still remember the past, Rem..."
Yuexing stopped what he was doing, took a white robe from space and put it on himself
The familiar shape strongly evoked Rem's memories, and the blurry figure began to become clear...
Yuexing pushed back her hair on her forehead, and a pair of cyan horns emerged from her forehead. The magic power emitted from the horns stirred the surrounding air.
"My name was Tim, Rem," Yuexing said with a smile.
The same childish figure at that time overlapped in front of me, it was the older brother I could rely on...
Tears filled Rem's eyes. The pressure accumulated over the past seven years disappeared at this moment, leaving only endless thoughts.
"Brother...welcome back..."
Rem threw herself into Yuexing's arms and smiled happily.
"I like you the most..."
————————————
Ram woke up from the room with a start. She has never forgotten this familiar scent, even after losing her horn.
"This aura is...Tim?!"
Ram stood up from the bed, regardless of the messy clothes on his body, walked to the window, and looked in the direction where the breath was coming from.
Next to the artificial swimming pool, standing next to Rem was a man in a white robe. His bright silver hair reflected the moonlight, and a pair of horns on his head were shining beautifully. This was something she once had.
Looking at the two people embracing each other, Ram's thoughts also went back to those three little figures...
