Previously… Rem was woke up with Ram looking at her, but it doesn't bother her that much.
She then goes on another day at work, but this time improving and getting better this time.
She asked Subaru to go on a date with Emilia, which he quite doesn't understand but he agrees anyway.

[Rem, In Mind] It's a good thing that I came here to survey the location before asking Emilia. Subaru has no clue where we're going to go, so it will still be surprising, right? Nevermind, that doesn't matter. What matters is, I think I found a great view for their date. Now my only problem is...
-This one, right?
-You're here again! -He has that weird face again.
Subaru sighs.
[You guys really must miss me since I come here very often, and- h-hey! Don't ruin my perfectly good outfit!]
Rem comes out of the store after buying the things she needs. Thanks to her light horn, she can carry both bags with ease. She looks at her phone checking her checklist and sees Subaru with the kids as she runs to him.
Subaru saw Rem carrying those two heavy bags as he stands up.
[Subaru] Do you need me to carry those?
[Rem] Well, only one, I suppose. Wait- wha-
Subaru nods as he takes the other paper bag, as Rem seems to be also have known the kids as well from Subaru's perspective.
[Rem] Hey everyone, I hope Subaru was there to be kind. Also, Subaru is going to have a date with Emilia, so I hope the best of behaviour out of you all! Oh I forgot. This cute little animal is really adorable, I think I'll let Mimilia see this cute adorable thing~
Rem pets the puppy the little girl has with a smile.
The puppy then opens it's mouth as it bites Rem on the hand as she backs off.
[Rem] N-ngh! It bit me again!
[Subaru] Is your hand all right?
[Rem] Ah! Nononono! It's fine! Anyways, I already finished shopping, I hope you played with the kids.
[Subaru] I played with them, it wasn't the best, but it did go smoothly.
[Rem] Really? That's great to hear!
Later when the sun is falling, Rem and Subaru say their goodbyes to the children of the village as they start walking home.
[Subaru] You seem to be quite more popular than me here.
[Rem] Is that so? Well, I hope I'm not taking anything from you…
[Subaru] No, it's okay. I don't really intend to stay much longer outside.
Rem saw the bridge again as this time she decides to practice more of balancing.
[Rem] Those kids really don't know how to respect someone. I know they do to some people, but they at least do that to all people.
[Subaru] Have you done something that could perhaps earn their respect?
-
Puddle.
[Rem] Well I'm not sure…
Subaru jumps over the puddle with ease.
[Rem] But it's weird, it feels like they belittled me from the start.
Rem tries to jump over the puddle but she slipped but lcukily Subaru managed to catch her before she falls as he pulls her up.
[Subaru] Be careful. You could've just walked around it.
[Rem] I-I know…
…
[Rem] If Ram was here, she would've handled this perfectly, right?
?...
[Subaru] Yes. Maybe that's why she's perfect. She really knows how to do things right.
She really is the best, don't you think?
[Rem] She's quite scary, and she really looks like she can face anything without a doubt. I wonder if it will make it better or make it worse.
[Subaru] I don't think so. Also, Fearlessness is also one of her charms.
…
Subaru looks down.
[For me, I don't think I can do that. Not being afraid of anything? Quite Impossible for me to do.]
Rem looks at her, as Subaru just shakes his head and looks at Rem.
[Right, how's your study coming along?]
Rem rubs her chin.
[Well, It's going well, I guess. I didn't expect that Ram is so good at teaching, better than my previous teachers. But there's one problem though. Halfway through, she'll sleep in my bed and that's kind of distracting. I hope that she'll stop staring at me when I wake up though.]
[Subaru] She's probably doing that because she doesn't want you to be late.
.
.
.
.
[Rem] I know I kind of asked this a few times, but what's with your absolute faith with Ram?
She looks at him.
[Normal people like us wouldn't be like that.]
She looks at the road.
[Jeez, you're just like a demon or something.]
Subaru stops walking.
[Like a demon?]
Rem stops and looks at him.
[Well, It's just a demon version of 'Like a God]
Subaru looks at her.
[Do you perhaps, like demons? For a demon yourself of course.]
[Rem] As I said, I'm a human, not a demon. I don't quite understand what makes you think I'm one.
She looks up at the sky.
[Answering your question. I think God can't basically help us with anything, he's probably too busy or doesn't exist.]
She looks at Subaru.
[Rem] But I believe if you tell a demon about your dream, it will laugh along with you, especially topics about next year and the year after that. It will get even more happier than ever.
[Subaru] ...Is that so?
Rem looks to him, as the wind is blowing softly.
Flower petals just flew past them as Subaru just can't hold his laughter as he laughs softly and looks at Rem with a smile on his face.
…
Rem blinks a couple of times as she feels her face getting red.
But she shakes it off and puts her other hand on her waist.
[Rem] I have to say! That smile is really great!
[Subaru] Is that really your way with flirting? It's quite bad, you need to improve on that if you plan on using it for the future.
[Rem] T-that wasn't a flirt! It was a compliment!
Rem picks up the bag she dropped as both of them start walking again.

Night has fallen and Rem was ready for her next lesson, but this time, Ram was not able to come here, nor Subaru. So there's only one that could come.
[Emilia] Subaru and Ram couldn't come here tonight. So I'll be teaching you today. But I can't teach you some incredible knowledge, I hope you understand.
Rem is nervous, she didn't expect Emilia to be here and she has to ask her for the date, but her heart is just pumping fast and she's sweating.
[Rem] W-w-w-well, I-I'm s-still learning h-how to wr-rite l-glyphs… A
[Emilia] Ohh? You're more serious about this than I expected.
Rem tries to gulp as she brings out the children's book.
[This book i-is for k-kids a-and children a- N-hg…. I-It consists of basic l-glyphs, F-for now R-Ram t-told me that my goal I-is to u-understand this.
.
.
.
.
.
Rem breathes in wiping her sweat.
[R-right, I-I have something to tell you.]
Rem's heart is beating as fast as ever, but she stands up and faces Emilia breathing in and finally out.
.
.
.
[Rem] The moonlight is quite beautiful, don't you think?
[Emilia] eh?
Emilia looks up as well as Rem, but it took a few seconds before Rem realized her stupidity.
[Rem] N-no wait! That's not what I meant! Don't look up! A-anyways. I have a request, can you hear me out? Starting from tomorrow, I'll work and study seriously!
Rem breathes in as she looks at Emilia, who is looking at her as she smiles.
[Rem] Go on a date with Subaru!
.
.
.
.
.
Emilia tilts her head curiously as she asks her.
[What is… a date?]
[Rem] Well… A date is when a man goes out with a woman!
She raises her hands as she touches her chin.
[There is only one faith and that's for the goddess of love to decide what could happen next.]
[Emilia] Ah! So today Rem and Subaru went on a date too?
.
.
.
.
.
…
Rem just jumps on her bed and rolls around possibly screaming out of embarrassment.
[Rem] I-I didn't expect you to say thaat!
She rolls and sits up and bows to her a few times.
[Please! Forgive me! That's not a date! I'm not trying to steal him from you!]
.
Emilia walks to the window as she looks at Rem.
[Emilia] Although I understand that you want us to go out together, but where do you want me and Subaru to go?
Rem then follows her.
[Rem] Well, there is a nearby village here, there's also a cute little puppy. Also a huge beautiful flower field as well. Miss Mimilia with the combination of the blooming flowers, and Subaru being the handsome one for you~ Isn't that like one of the things perfectly meant for each other compilation??
She pulls out her phone.
[Rem] I'll capture the moment with my metia, and treasure it as one of my achievements!
[Emilia] This… going to a village...
Rem nods.
[Rem] The puppy is super cute too! Please go out with each other!
[Emilia] But going to the village might cause some trouble for you and the villages, I heard that you are popular there.
[Rem] Oh I-I won't mind! Also! The kids there are super cute too! Just like little angels! I'm sure they would like to meet you with Subaru! So please go out with each other!
Emilia just sighs, looking at Rem smiling.
[Well, I understand. If you really are asking for it, then I have no choice. We'll go out with each other.]
[Rem] The flowers are very colorful! It's very pretty! It's very-! Wait… Really?
[Emilia] If a small matter lets you start working more seriously tomorrow. Then yes, me and Subaru will go on a date.
.
.
.
.
Rem breathes in and she raises her hand with joy as she screams out in happiness.
[Fantastica! That's great!!]
Emilia looks outside the window.
[It looks like the weather will be very nice tomorrow.]
Rem nods.
[I agree. Tomorrow will be an unforgettable day too.]
Emilia just sighs and looks at Rem.
[Emilia] Seriously, every time you-
Emilia sees that Rem is looking outside, with a blank expression on her face.
…
Rem blinks as she looks at Emilia.
[Emilia] Just now… you…
…
Emilia smiles as she shakes her head.
[It's nothing.]
She then starts walking out.
[Rem] O-oh w-was I spacing out?? S-sorry for that, I'm just thinking about somethings.
Emilia opens the door as she looks at Rem.
[Well then Lady Rem, please work hard.]
She salutes to her.
[The prize will only be given to those who worked hard! That's why they're called prizes after all!]
Rem smiles as she nods.
[I agree, Alright. I will work hard! I'll do anything … I'll make you two happy!]

Chapter Ends.

It's late at night, but Rem is still awake, and this time prepared.
[Rem] Alright… It's just you and me now faith. I won't let you ruin this checkpoint. I wanna actually save this time. I'm used to staying up at night, so it will be a piece of cake.
Rem can start hearing her own heartbeat as she holds her chest.
[Jeez, I said I'm used to staying up at night. Sigh, this reminds of the time where I overslept on the day of my class trip.]
Rem rubs her hands together as she tries to calm her heart down.
…
[I wasn't able to exactly retrace my last checkpoint, or… loop let's say. It's kind of disappointing, but in the end, this one turned to be more better than the last one, I'm really glad.
.
.
.
.
.
[Oh right… Beatrice… I wasn't able to bid her goodnight this time… Although she did some things, she did not kill me and that's what made my checkpoint update…]
Rem was slowly closing her eyes but she opens them wide as she shakes her head trying not to fall asleep, but she's slowly getting tired and her eyes are closing more and in the end, she slowly closes her eyes and everything went to black.
.
.
.
.
[Rem] N-ngh!
Rem's eyes shot up as her light horn comes out and her flail, as well as she, stands up quickly making the chair fall.
Rem looks around with concern as she feels sick.
She drops her flails handle as she holds his head.
[Rem] Wha… what is…
She rubs her arms as he starts to sweat.
[It's… It's cold…! S-shit… I-...Is this…]
! Rem covers her mouth but she pukes on the ground and she feels like a feather. Her brain is mushing a little and she can't feel anything but feel sick.
This made her manifest her horn, but it worsens the feeling.
Rem stands up, and goes out of her room, trying not to fall as she looks around.
[Rem, In Mind] I… is there anyone there… I-I need y-yHg!
She falls again as she throws up again, holding her neck this time.
She can feel her horn, as Rem is filled with frustration and fear.
She doesn't know why, but she can't help but be afraid…
[Rem] D...damn it…! S-someone… anyone…
She stands up again as she starts walking, slowly losing her balance.
Rem tries going to Emilia's room, she feels dizzy and sick, also filled with fear.
She can't help but be terrified of all this.
She can walk, but staggering to even do so.
Rem finally made it to the floor where- !
Rem was about to throw up again but she swallows it, and it feels disgusting, but she doesn't wanna puke…
…
Rem can hear faint sounds of something being dragged.
She looks at the hallway she's looking at but no one is there.
The sound of something metal is getting closer.
Rem turns around but she was greeted by a large smoke.
[Rem] W… what the hell is tha-
Rem was then blasted to the hallway with blood all over the floor.
Laying down, Rem is still filled with frustration as blood covers the vision of her left eye.
Looking at the side, she sees her horn cut off.
Rem can't survive without her horn and she can't see anything glowing.
She tries to breathe as she struggles and groans in pain.
Rem looks at a puddle of blood that's coming from up there as she looks up she sees a leg…
…
…
!
Rem looks at her own legs, but there's only one there, her light wings come out as she screams out in pain holding her now non-existent leg.
[Rem] Agghhh!! N-ngh... W-what is…! I-W-Where… W-what..! N-gh! It hurts..! W-why am I s-so-so sc-scared??
She sits down, trying to calm down but she hears that sound of metal again, but she's afraid to look at it, she's too afraid to do anything!
More puddle of blood comes out of Rem's bleeding leg as she sees a shadow in front of her.
But before Rem can realize who it is, she feels her neck cut open and even deeper.
Her body falls, as something else falls before it.
Chapter. End.
