*Yawn…

After talking to Emilia. Rem is tired and she continues her research on who this dangerous person might be…

[Rem] … What should I do… I don't wanna die… I don't wanna die over and over to figure out this asalaint just to get a happy ending… I just-

*Knock *knock!

[Rem] ! Uhm, come in!

*Click *Screech.

It's Ram, with a tea set on her hands.

She comes in with the permission Rem has granted to her.

Rem covers everything in her table with lots of written l-glyphs as she looks to Ram serving the tea.

Rem just stays quiet, hoping to not disturb Ram. She has already done enough talking for today. 

…

…? Rem sees Ram just sitting on the bed and drinking some tea now.

…

[Rem] That's new. Don't you have work to do?

[Ram] You said yesterday I should be nicer right? So I'm doing just that. 

You could think of it as an extra task.

[Rem] Oh- Uhm. I see. Thank you.

Rem gets her tea and drinks from it.

And as usual. The tea is still very bad…

What's with Rem and Tea? Why does she have to deal with a simple thing?

[Rem] Hey, I hope I'm not going to piss someone off, but what tea is this? Is this always disgusting, or I have bad taste…?

[Ram] … I think you just don't know how to appreciate things for what they are, and the finest tea leaves will be angered when you say that.

[Rem] i-i-i see your point now..

…

[Ram] Right. How's your study going along?

[Rem] Oh, it's going super well.

Rem picks up the fairy tale book as she opens it.

[Rem] Rem can- *cough*

Ram looks at her coughing, but it's obviously fake. She saw it coming.

[Rem] I mean. I can read this book now. 

There's a lot of differences and it's more bizarre than what I have read before. 

This book is good though, I think I learned a thing or two. 

Hm… Maybe I should write a fairy tale book as well. Since I'm not in my homeland. I don't think the authors will complain to me copying their work. I have one story in mind. It's called the Greedy Little Red Riding Hood, although it's a parody of another actual story, I kind of like that one.

*!..

Rem looks at Ram. She seems to be in freeze after that small gasp.

…

[Rem] Do you perhaps wanna know the story?

…

Ram puts her tea down on the small plate she's holding as she looks at Rem.

…

[Rem] I'll take that as a yes.

Well let's see… Oh! I remember now.

Ahem.

Long ago…

…

Time skip, (I'm not writing another story, I'm not taking this seriously, another time skip becuz I want to. Seriously, I have other novels to write and this one isn't one of them. It's just a practice for me, anyways-)

 …

[Ram] Right. About that story… Don't tell that to Barusu. Trust me, he won't like it.

Ram leaves the room, closing the door.

Rem hearing that, wonders what Ram is thinking about. Don't tell the story to Subaru?

Why? It's just a simple story about greed. What's wrong with it?

…

Well, if Ram says it's bad. Then it has to be bad.

...

Rem lays down on the bed as she looks at the fairytail book.

...

[A scary witch, a horrible witch that even others are afraid to say it's name... huh...]
