11 Questions and Requests
…
Rem opens her eyes as she feels like she's resting on someone's lap.
"Huh? Am I resting on someone's lap?"
"Are you awake now?"
The voice of… well, Mimi.
That's what Subaru called her.
So will Rem.
"Strange… I don't remember you being this hairy- wait hold on a minute."
Rem looks at who's lap this is and sees that it's Puck's lap.
Both of them stare for a second before Rem quickly gets off in a panic.
"I'm sorry for slouching!"
She bows to him.
Puck: "See Lia? She doesn't mean any harm."
Subaru called her Mimi and Puck called her Lia. Rem doesnt know which one to choose, so she just combined the two names together. Mimilia.
Kind of sounds like Emilia.
Rem: "Huh? Wha-"
Rem looks who besides Puck, and It's… Mimilia and Subaru.
At first Rem thought Mimilia was the one with the furry legs.
Rem: "Oh… Uhm…

She bows to them.
"Uhm… I'm sorry that you have to accompany me while I was unconscious when you're supposed to go after someone! I-I'm sorry for that…
Subaru: "It's no problem."
Mimilia: "Don't get the wrong idea."
Rem: "E-eh?"
Mimilia stands up and looks at Rem.
"The only reason why we stayed, it's because there are things I want to ask you.
Subaru saving you, and I healing your wounds and making Puck your pillow until you woke up, were for our benefit. So I need you to repay me in kind."
Rem feels kind of bad, after all that they did, she only gets to answer some questions that she won't probably be able to answer, due to the lack of knowledge she has in this world.
Rem:
"Uhm… O-okay…"
Mimilia approaches Rem.
"You have some idea who stole my insignia. Right?"
Rem: "Insignia…?"
She touches her chin and thinks.

"You mean a badge thingy that proves your that person?"
Mimilia: "Close to that."
She shows the size of it.
"This is the size of it. It also has a jewel in the center. Does it ring any bells to you?"
Rem just looks to the side and back at her.
"I'm really sorry that you have to hear this, but I don't have a clue what you mean miss… No matter how many times you ask, I still won't know"
Mimilia backs off and just sighs.
"Looks like there's no helping it then."
She points to Rem.
"But since you told the information that you know nothing, I guess that will do for your repayment to us."
Rem: "Huh? Wait- what?"
Mimilia looks at the entrance of the alleyway as she looks to Rem.
"Well. We're going now. We're in a hurry so we have to move quickly. Also.
Please be careful next time. As a woman there are alot of men who are corrupted against their own will. Danger exists so please bring someone with you and don't ever travel alone on deserted alleyways.
Mimilia crosses her arms as he looks to Subaru and then back to Rem.
"This is not my way to tell you i'm concerned, it's just a warning from me.
If you ever get in trouble in situations like this again, I doubt we will be saving you again since it won't be of any benefit to us."
"So don't expect us to appear again. Come on Subaru."
Subaru: "Huh? Oh alright, I'm coming."
Mimilia starts walking to the entrance and Subaru follows her.

Puck: "Sorry about her. She's so insincere. Don't think badly of her, and for Subaru, he's not a bad guy if you're thinking about it. He's just a nice guy trying to support her.
They're basically like partners but not that close."
.

Rem: "Insincere…? That goes way beyond… They were in a hurry to find what was stolen from her… but yet… they choose to save Rem… Even though I'm just a complete stranger to them…
It felt like that whole I'm already paid thing is something she just made to make me think I don't owe anything to them…. They help people in need, don't they...? But if they're living in that way…"
Rem runs to the box and grabs her jacket and she chases after the both of them.
"They won't be able to spend their life with each other properly! I must do something!"
Rem gets out of the alleyway and looks to where they went and they seem to have gone to the left.
"W-wait! Please wait for a second!"
Mimilia and Subaru stopped and turned around to see what's with Rem's holdup.
Subaru: "Huh? Is something-
Mimilia: "Just so you know, we only have little time for you, so make it quick."
Rem: "That was kind of unpleasant to hear… B-but forget what I just said! That's not the point of why I'm stopping both of you! Miss… erhm… Mimilia… Y-you lost something important c-correct? If that's-
Subaru: "Mimilia? That's one way to combine a name. I noticed you combined Mimi, and Lia, right?
Rem: "U-uh. Yes… A-anyways. If you lost something important then!-"
Rem bows down again and extends.
"Then please let me help both of you!"
Subaru tilts his head.
"Huh? But you said you don't know who stole her-
Rem stands up and looks at them.
Rem: "That's true, but I've remembered her face! If you let me come with you, I can assure you I will remember!"
Subaru and Mimilia stare at her, and Rem is just sweating, thinking that she may be lying, because she exactly knows where the girl is, but she might be suspicious because she knows where she lives.
Mimilia seems convinced and so as Subaru.
Mimilia: "Just so you know, We can't do anything to thank you."
Rem: "I don't need such a thing! I want to really repay both of you for your kind actions towards me, this is probably the only way I can assure I've paid. By helping both of you"
Mimilia looks to Rem.
"I didn't do anything deserving of thanks. I already have told you, I received your compensation for healing your wounds."
Rem rubs her chin and looks to the side before she smiles at Mimilia.
"If that's so… then. I'm going to help both of you for my own sake."
"My goal for today will be… uhh… Do one good thing today!"
…
Mimilia rubs her chin and Puck climbed to Subaru and looked at her.
Puck: "I don't sense any malice. I think you can just accept her offer. The more shields between yourself and ruffians, the better, after all."
Rem: "W-wait! I-I didn't say I will be willing to get hurt!"
Mimilia: "Though, I mean it. We can't do anything to thank you."
Rem shakes her head.
"It won't be a problem, just leave it to Remura!"

Mimilia: "Uh… Remura?"
Rem: "Uhm, just an alternative name for myself…"
