(Rem x Reader) Re:Reader - Starting YOUR New Life in Another World

Chapter 36: I Need Something More.

A/N: This was by far, my absolute favorite chapter to write. I really really hope you all enjoy this chapter, as I feel it's the best one in the series. For all of the Arc 2 content, this is the apex.

Hesitantly, Rem felt her conscious fill back into her own body. Opening her eyes, her blue hair hung in front of them, prompting her to sit up.

Seeing the younger maid sister was conscious once more, Beatrice clapped the book she was reading shut, placing it on the table next to her.

Hearing the audible closure of the book, the sound jerked Rem's still groggy mind fully back to reality. The shutting book, the smell of many old books, the hard tiled floor beneath her, Rem quickly remembered where she was, and why she was here.

Turning to look around, Rem's eyes met the owner of the library she currently sat in.

And between them laid another person.

Still with his sleeves rolled up from washing dishes, YN continued to remain passed out. Upon seeing him, instantly, Rem's mind was flooded with the realities she had witnessed, remembering exactly what she had seen from his memories.

Looking down at her own hands, they trembled for real this time, and much more then she had originally imagined.

With a silence descending upon the three, Beatrice was first to speak.

Beatrice: Did the younger maid sister find out something troubling, I suppose?

Hearing her question, Rem continued to recall all the things she had just seen in her mind, testing it all against her better judgment to see if she wasn't just being led astray.

Looking down at YN's sleeping face, Rem noticed just how peaceful he looked, a welcome change of pace from all agony and pain she had just seen him in.

Getting somewhat impatient, Beatrice spoke once more.

Beatrice: Well?

With her mind rationalizing that she must, at some point answer Beatrice, Rem nodded her head and went right back into deep thought and observation of YN.

Beatrice continued to watch the blue haired maid's body language as she stared at YN laying on the ground.

This is going nowhere I suppose. Either be out with it and tell Betty if there's a danger or conclude he can be trusted.

Calming herself with an apathetic sigh, Beatrice restructured her question.

Beatrice: Is he trustworthy?

Hearing Beatrice ask for an answer, Rem gave her reply little thought. There was simply no need to ponder what her answer would be. Rem was more sure of it then anything else.

Tears began to stream down her cheeks as she gazed at YN's still resting face, peacefully asleep.

With another soft nod, Rem confirmed her answer to Beatrice before softly speaking in reply.

Rem: Yes, YN-kun is very trustworthy. Rem trusts him with her life.

Slightly taken aback at how sincerely Rem had just answered, and how strong the conviction behind her reply was, Beatrice lifted an eyebrow.

Beatrice: While Betty is uncertain how you can be so certain, despite her own doubts on it, Betty will take your word for it, for now, I suppose. But—

Picking her book back up and opening it to the page she had left off from, Beatrice also began to twirl her hair that hung up in front of her drills.
