I Just Wanted To Read Re: Zero, But Now I'M A Protagonist Of Eroge

Chapter 23: The Road to Irlam

Leaving the forbidden library, I immediately started running along the corridor, jumping up the stairs while in the air. My skill with the sword kept me from losing my balance, so I ran with all my might, shouting.

- Rama! The brake! I need to talk about something important!-

Ram instantly appeared, responding to a shout he might have heard as I ran through the mansion. Apparently he works very closely. He saw my red face, sweat running down my face, and my disordered breathing, his eyes narrowed in disapproval at the indecency of the butler.

"What's up, Subaru-san?" Your current condition is rather depressing -

- Sorry, Ram-Dono. I'm heading to the village. You cannot stop me; I will leave even if you try. There's a very urgent matter I need to talk to you about. ”

No, more importantly, do you intend to ignore Master Roswaal's instructions? Today, Rem and I are running this mansion, don't you understand?

Ram shifted his gaze from not interested to sharp.

Obviously, I know that Ram's interest is what Roswaal wants to put first. My indifference to not following my master's orders, I actually dragged him down the wrong path.

Although her sharp gaze was a little scary, it was true that I did not want to retreat a single inch.

the time is short, so I'm going down to business. I started to feel weird while doing homework, so I went to Betty to see if anything was wrong with me. He said I was cursed, remember that dog that the blue haired girl brought?. This dog bit me, and when I asked Betty to stop the curse, black smoke came out of her bite. I have to go now -

right after I said that, I turned around to leave the mansion. But as soon as I was about to leave, I felt like something was pulling my hand.

I looked to see who it was...

-br..-.-.

It was a blue-haired maid, a girl with a strange weapon. The twins who still wear their horns look at me like I'm crazy.

Sorry, Subaru. But I can't let you go alone, it's almost suicidal with your power..." He paused before continuing, "Sister, let me escort Subaru to the village." If what he said was true, then we might face an attack on the residence, ”si blue-haired twins finished with a serious expression on his face.

- Alright, I will confirm the transaction with Lady Beatrice and I will protect Lady Emilia myself, in this case. I'll see you from here.-

- Nee, you shouldn't use those eyes too much ...

now is not the time to say that. I will use it if needed. The same goes for you, Rem.

The way her older sister left her did not leave room for further questions from Rem. I was watching their conversation with slight hesitation as Rem looked at me tiredly.

“Subaru, I want to hear the details.”

- I'll tell you on the way, we have to go as soon as possible. I'm sure someone has been hurt

I opened the door. But this time, a voice stopped me...

Subaru, where are you?

Clearly like a bell, the voice came from the top of the front staircase of the vestibule.

Turning around, without thinking, I looked up and saw Emilia standing with her silver hair swaying.

- He came down because he heard a loud noise?

- Sorry, Emilia. But I have things to do in the village, I would really appreciate if you could stay here in the mansion... I don't want anything to happen to you."

When I spoke to Emilia in a busy tone, I did not notice that her face was flushed red as she said these words.

Although I spoke in an indifferent tone, Emilia seemed to understand something.

“Your eyes say you will do something dangerous.” Emilia put on a worried face as she simply lowered her head. Makes his eyes dark.

Although Subaru was a big liar, he could not find a place in his heart to lie to Emilia about it.

Then she lifted her gaze straight at me, her purple eyes looking like they would cry at any moment.

can't I make you stay? Yeah?-

Don't worry, Emilia. I promised to protect you, so I'm 100% sure I'll make it back alive and maybe we can go to the city... You know, I know a nice place where we could have a picnic

While he was talking. Emilia stepped closer, stopping right in front of me. I could not find the courage to take my eyes off her purple eyes.

"You promised to come back and when you do, I'll tell you not to be too reckless."

“Hahaha.. I can't wait to meet you, Miss Emilia.”.

As she said that, I could only laugh, scratching the back of my head, Emilia just pouted.

I did not laugh at the words of the silver-haired girl... I laughed to relieve the pressure from myself, Emilia's words only made me more determined.

As I thought about this, Emilia hugged me.

- Yeah?..-

“...May the grace of the spirits be with you.”

I nodded and left the mansion. When I left, I didn't see Emilia say a few words to Rem.

I waited a few seconds outside when I saw Rem coming out.

“Subaru, I want to hear the details now.”

there is a witch in the village, I think she wants to ruin the choice of the kingdom of Emilia. I got a curse from him, but Betty let him go. If we don't act now, the whole city could die."

As we ran, Rem fell silent, analyzing the situation.

“I will save them, even if it sacrifices my life..” I unknowingly say these words, calmly.

[Congratulations, you have received +14 points of affection for heroine Rem]

It's gonna be a very long night.
