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

Chapter 63: The Endless Eight - Part 9

Flying out from behind the several small red flowers in her hair, Puck floated around her head as he answered her.

Puck: I seem to recall you really liked that one though.

Emilia: How was I supposed to know I'd stand out so much!?

YN: Uhh, Emilia-sama, aren't you giving a speech? Won't you stand out regardless?

Seeing her ears turn red, Emilia turned her eyes downward and fully emerged from behind the curtain.

Wearing a silvery-white kimono with blue flowers adorned with a bright goldenrod sash, a red ribbon was tied around it, perfectly matching the red flowers in her hair, and the red her ears still currently were.

Wasting no time, Subaru immediately bounced to Emilia's side, fawning all over her in the elaborated kimono.

But while Puck and Subaru bantered over it, seeing who could compliment her the most, next out of the changing room was the person YN was most looking forward to seeing.

Peering over at the commotion being caused, Rem poked her beautiful blue hair and face out from behind the curtain and after listening in for a moment or two, turned her attention to YN.

Seeing her, YN silently broke off from the group and rendezvoused with Rem. As he approached her, Rem entered into the hallway, displaying her kimono for YN.

With a base of a very dark indigo, almost purple in shade, adorned with a pattern of slightly lighter blue flowers, her kimono was rather regular in shape, much like Emilia's. Around her waist, a stark contrast of a snow-white sash broke up the darkness of her dress. Around the sash, a fine red ribbon was tied as well, and a large pink flower was seemingly attached to her usual maid hairband, further giving accent colors of brightness amongst the darkness of her dress.

YN: —! Rem, you're—!

Seeing his surprise, Rem smiled and gave him a twirl of herself, fully showing off her dress.

Rem: Did Rem make a good choice with this one?

YN: Yes! You look beautiful in it.

Grinning from ear to ear from YN's compliment, Rem leaned her head forward.

Rem: Then Rem has certainly earned some praise, hasn't she?

Patting the oni on her soft and smooth blue hair, YN gave her the praise she so desired. But, as she winced ever so lightly from the sensation, Emilia called over to YN, ending his and Rem's moment.

Emilia: YN? Could you get a piece of luggage from the ground carriage? I need something from out of it—

Subaru: Allow me, Emilia-tan!

Stepping past YN, Subaru triumphantly volunteered himself in place of him.

???: Before you leave—

Stopping everyone before they departed, one of the stylists made their way out of the changing rooms.

Stylist: Please, if you can, continue to wear your garments until the festival tonight so if you require any alterations, they can be more promptly discovered and the appropriate changes made. But at the same time, if you need to perform duties for Emilia-sama, we'd ask that you change out of them for that task.

Looking down at his yukata, Subaru lamented the idea of damaging it.

Subaru: On second thought, Emilia-tan, I'll change before I come help you.

Nodding, Emilia agreed.

Emilia: That's probably for the better. Knowing your luck, you'd probably stain, rip, and tear it if you tried working in it.
