Volume 2: A Most Fateful Meeting

Sure, both these voices sounded similar in way, they were both distinctly feminine, but the first one had something YN couldn't describe to it.

In pure desire to hear her speak more, he kept himself as still as he could, and tried to calm his breathing to give off the illusion he remained asleep.

Rem(?): Nee-sama Nee-sama, it would appear so. While that one is checked on, Rem will tend to our other guest.

Rem... That's her name, is it?

Indescribable, something about her name seemed to echo about in YN's mind endlessly.

???: Rem Rem, do try and be quick, this is quite the despicable man to be left alone with.

Rem(?): Rem will only be over here, Nee-sama.

Hearing their quirky exchange, YN heard a pair footsteps lightly tread across the floor over towards his own bed and stop.

She's coming over to me now...

YN's heart began to beat at a more rapid pace as he knew the owner of this voice he had suddenly been entranced with must be looming over him. As her profile must have come between him and the window, reflexively, his eyes reacted to the change in brightness despite being closed, making his brow furrow ever so slightly, and this was not missed by girl.

Rem(?): Nee-sama, it would appear as though our other guest is already half awake.

???: Good, please wake him the rest of the way.

YN could feel the presence leaning over him now.

To this, he knew pretending to be asleep wouldn't do him any good any longer.

Slowly, and carefully, YN opened his eyes.

First a silhouette was seen, —a result of the bright light behind her, but as soon as his eyes adjusted, his heart began to pound and for just a second, his breath was caught in his throat.

YN: — — —

Crowning her head, was a hairband, itself adorned with several flowers, which, their black and white motif complimented the outfit that this girl wore, that of a maid.

What caught YN's eyes next, was the sleek, shiny, azure-blue hair that adorned a face that was shaped by two adorable round cheeks. To the side of her head, at the end of her flowered headband, was a pink bow, itself tied in the shape of a flower.

Her hair, bob-cut and short as it was, left bangs that were long enough to cover both her eyes, but matching the same pink as her bow, was an "X" shaped hair-clip that pinned it away on that very same side only.

YN: — — —

What made YN speechless now though, was the single eye of hers that was left visible by that hair-clip, and the reflection it let him have of himself in hue of blue that was nearly identical that of her hair.

Needless to say, he was entirely taken by her appearance alone; she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

Rem: —?

As he gazed upon her, it took the maid tilting her own head in question to his continued silence for him to finally snap his consciousness back to the present.

With his realization that he was just staring at her with nowhere else to look, YN, with his hands still under the covers, sheepishly pulled the sheets up to cover his face, hopefully concealing his blush, but stopped just below his eyes, still unable to take his eyes off her.

After another moment of silence, she spoke her very first words directly to him.

Rem: Is Guest-sama aware of where he is?
