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

Chapter 68: The Endless Eight - Part 14

A/N: Here's this week's chapter! I also have some exciting news as well... I have started to write Arc 3! Hopefully I will have a few weeks to write as much as I can, and this fic will go on a hiatus after this mini-arc is over, but that should mean the hiatus time is much shorter then last time. I also invested some funds in buying the ENTIRE English manga series of Re:Zero to help facilitate faster access to references for the adaption to this fic! But without any further ado, here's the chapter!

Chapter 68: The Endless Eight – Part 14

Standing before the door that led to Julio's study, YN was hesitant before knocking.

We really lucked out the first time we tried this... I really don't want to mess it up this time and potentially lose all these moments with Rem.

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Rem gripped the hand she still held tighter. Standing to his side where he could see her uncovered eye, Rem turned and smiled, hoping to inspire confidence within him.

Rem: Rem will follow and assist YN in whatever way he chooses to go about this. She believes in him.

Having wondered if he should take a more practical approach to confronting Julio or not, YN had solidly made up his mind.

If Rem believes in me, I have no choice but to believe in her too.

YN: I'm—, We're going to use your idea. We'll bluff and tell him we know everything.

Looking down for a moment before making eye contact again, Rem's expression softened.

Rem: It greatly warms Rem's heart hearing her YN-kun have so much confidence in her.

YN: I trust you more than I trust myself.

Nodding to what he said, Rem showed she felt the same way. Reaching for the doorknob, their hands met on the handle. Looking at each other, the two shared a brief moment of silence, lost in each other's eyes before Rem spoke up.

Rem: Together?

YN: Together.

Twisting the handle, the two opened the large wooden door to the study. Taking a step back, Rem allowed YN to enter first.

Julio: O-Oh! Guests. YN-dono. Rem-chan. Has something been to your displeasure with your stay?

Shaking his head while appreciating the demi-human's concern, YN and Rem walked further into the study.

YN: No, everything has been very good.

Rem: Yes. Rem would like to thank Julio-san for his hospitality once more.

Pushing his glasses up, Julio seemed to be relieved from hearing that.

Julio: That's very good to hear. Does something else bring you both here then?

Turning his expression more serious, YN took a few more steps forward.

YN: Yes, unfortunately.

Julio: 'Unfortunately...'? That doesn't sound good at all...

Knowing it couldn't be related to their visit, Julio set the inked quill he had out back into its holder, and capped his inkwell.

Stepping forward next to YN, the blue haired maid spoke up in turn.

Rem: We have uncovered a rather troublesome development.

Turning her head to YN, Rem prompted him to go about this in whatever way he thought was best, and showed him that she'd back him up in whatever he said.
