The very next day, Subaru started his job for real, he even had his clothes altered to fit him. But the disappointment could be seen in Kaji's eyes when he watched Subaru do basic chores. He watched as Subaru cut himself again, and again when he was trying to peel some vegetables, he saw the buy trip and fall on the floor when he cleaned the bathroom. Not to mention that Kaji had to show him how to do every single little thing.

Right now Kaji and Subaru were doing laundry, Kaji was explaining how to wash the clothes properly. And he gave the guy to wash the clothes that wouldn't need to be washed delicately and carefully. Kaji gave him simpler clothes, while he washed the others.

"Subaru, you do realize how difficult your situation is right now, right?" Kaji asked the guy who was trying to wash Roswals shirt but was failing miserably.

"Huh, what do you mean? Is it because I got close with Emilia-tan?" Subaru asked while tilting his head to the side.

"Yes, but that's only part of the problem, because if you fail to prove yourself as a trustworthy person. To prove to the clown face that you aren't a spy, you most likely will be killed." Kaji spoke while hanging the newly washed kimono that he wore outside the mansion.

Hering the Oni speak of being killed made Subaru realize that it wasn't over, he started thinking. Which led him to realize that he might die again, and he didn't like the idea of dying again.

"Then how do I prove that I'm not a spy or someone suspicious? I don't want to be killed for some stupid reason!" Subaru said while trying to he tried his best to wash a white shirt.

Kaji smiled hearing this. "I don't know, but I can tell that you like Emilia, or am I wrong?" Kaji had a mischievous smile on his face.

"Eh, um, I…..I….like her." Subaru spoke quietly but loud enough for Kaji to hear him.

"I see, good luck then, but I recommend that you be prepared to die any moment for her if you like her. Not to mention that she has some problems of her own to take care of, so instead of making her look after you, you should try to support her in any way you can." Kaji said while standing up and picking up the now-empty laundry bucket.

Subaru didn't speak, as his brain started working, he started thinking about Kaji's words, as he seemed to pump himself up. "Yes, I'll do my best!" Subaru declared with a fist raised towards the sky.

"Subaru sometimes your best just isn't enough, but I'm sure you can find a way." Kaji said once again.

Herin Kaji, Subaru was a bit bewildered and confused by his words, but his words for some reason made Subaru work harder. Subaru's mind was filled with many different questions, he wanted to know how he could help Emilia. He was thinking of ways that he could support her, but alas his thinking had to stop, the moment Kaji spoke again.

"Alright, I'm going to go now, after you finish washing the clothes, go take a break." Kaji said as he carried the empty laundry basket inside the mansion.

Subaru watched Kaji leave while he looked at the mountain of clothes he still had to wash. Subaru was about to give up, but then he remembered Emilia, and Kaji let him go on a break. Subaru looked at the pile of dirty clothes and started washing with the best of his abilities. He wanted to go on break so he could go and see what Emilia was doing and if he could help her in any way.

While Subaru was trying to finish his work faster, Kaji was walking in the corridor of the mansion. The red-haired Oni opened one of the doors to see Beatrice reading a book inside her library. He stepped inside as he closed the door behind him, he sat down on a chair and he observed the loli spirit.

"Why are you here this time, I suppose?" Beatrice asked while her eyes stayed on her book.

"Hmm, no actual reason, can't I visit my magical librarian friend from time to time?" Kaji asked back while smiling.

Beatrice looked at Kaji, and the two just stared at each other for a couple of minutes before Kaji decided to speak once again. "Do you think that it's possible to cut divine protections apart? Or to cut concepts themselves?" Kaji asked while Beatrice snorted when she heard him ask these questions.

It wasn't the first time Beatrice heard the same questions from Kaji, and she knew why he was here, he was here to annoy her once again. She frowned, while Kaji looked at her like he did nothing wrong.
