Morning arrives.

Rem is already doing her morning exercise and this time, she has a rope and she's swinging it around. Wonder what's the purpose of it. 

Maybe jumping rope? Maybe something else Rem is now allowed to disclose yet?

Either way she meets with Emilia and then Puck. Where they had a friendly chat with each other and gained Emilia's trust more, so that she won't have any suspicions on Rem.

She's greeted everyone with a smile today.

...wait no not everyone… Rem forgot one person, again… 

…

She should go to her.

The least she can do is greet her. She might not remember but it is still a burden to Rem, like what she's having right now with Emilia and Subaru's kindness.

…

[Rem] Hello there, Beatrice! Good morning!

Beatrice didn't even bother to look at Rem, or not even saying good morning back.

[Rem] I'll… take that as a good morning too!

Rem makes herself at home inside the forbidden archive as she looks around.

[This is a nice place huh, say Betty can you-

[Beatrice] Betty has no time to answer your futile requests. I didn't teach you the last time to stay off Betty's place? Then I'm afraid I have to give you more of a reason to not get in here, I suppose.

[Rem] W-wait hold on Beatrice! Hear me out! I'm not going to ask anything stupid! I'm not going to let you go do something! It's just a question! This is really serious! I'm begging you!

..

..

Beatrice puts her hand down as he looks back to her book.

[Make it quick. Otherwise I'll force you out of here, I suppose] 

Rem gives off a big sigh as she looks at Beatrice, thanking her.

Rem shakes her head as she stands up.

[Beatrice. Do you have information on sickness that can kill you when you sleep or something?]

…

…

…

…

Ram looks at Subaru who seems to be not acting the way he usually is.

[Barusu. Is something wrong? You're acting a bit strange.]

[Subaru] Ah what? Uh- I-It's nothing Ram-rin! I'm just… thinking… I'm thinking about that guest.

[Ram] Are you being sarcastic? If not, then please go die, Barusu. Don't make me jealous. What? Is it because she has bigger breasts than me?

[Subaru] Wha-wha?!! No! I'm not thinking anything perverted! 

I'm suspicious of that girl, it's just she's too strange!

Ever since we arrived at the loot house to get back Emilia's Insignia, that girl has been strange the entire time during our session in the loot house. Promise me, don't get jealous.

I may like big female chests, but I think flat chests are also awesome! My hand may be filled, but when we hug each other, we can hear each other's heart beat! Who knows maybe it'll sync together.

…

Ram looks away, continuing to chop vegetables.

[I appreciate your honesty, Barusu.]

Ram then looks at Subaru with a rather disgusted face.

[But if you keep thinking about someone who looks to be like me. I'm going to kill you.]

[Subaru] Fine, fine. I'll stop thinking about her.

Ram's face went back to normal with a smile as she continued to chop some veggies.

[Good.]

...

..

.

[Rem] Aw come on, Beatrice! I know that can't be true. You know it's bad to lie you know!

Irritated, Beatrice blasted Rem out of the forbidden archive and was sent flying out the window but luckily Rem was able to summon her morning star and it acts like a grappling hook and the landing wasn't smooth at the end, but she did survive.

...

[Emilia] Uhm... Hello again, Rem.

[Rem] Huh? Ah! Miss Mimilia! Hello! D-don't mind me I'm just... hanging around!

Rem stands up, making her horn dissapear as she jumps over the garden patch and looks at Emilia.

[Rem] So what's up, Miss Emilia? You seem to be in quite of a doozy.

[Emilia] I don't know what you mean by "doozy" but I'll take it as dizzy.

Well that's because you kind of flew out of the window- W-wait! Are you okay?? You seem to be fine but that fall was still very dangerous! Is your back alright?? Can you stand properly??

[Rem] Y-Yes of course I'm okay! Rem is fine, I'm glad Mimilia is concerned, but there's nothing to worry about. Rem is here to be alright. Okay?

[Emilia] A-

...

She looks to the left confused as she looks to the right more in a daze as she went quiet but later she looks at Rem.

[Emilia] Uhm... A-alright then. If you say so...

Rem smiles at her.

...

[Rem's Inside Thoughts] I won't let you get killed... I won't let Subaru get killed... I won't let any of you killed... I swear to my soul, I'll make sure to help you both... That's my promise...

...

[Emilia] U-uh- Rem?

[Rem] O-Oh uh-

She scratches her head.

[S-sorry. I was thinking about something. But there's nothing to worry about!]

[Emilia] N-no. I'm talking about that.

She points to what she's holding and its her smart phone.

[Rem] Oh this, uhh. This is my smartphone. In other words... My very own Puck! but he can't talk...

[Emilia] Your very own Puck?? Rem, you have the ability to-?

[Rem] Wa-Nononono! I'll... I'll explain...
