Why Me? (Re: Zero X Male Reader)

Chapter 17

Chapter 17. Horror of the Old One

For a moment he was sure time just stopped for him, his mind trying to comprehend exactly what Rem just said.

And due to how absurd and incredulous the mental image for him, his brain failed to do it's job.

Which mean his brain temporarily goes down, again.

And it's also not helping that he just woke up, and as everyone know, he is not in his brightest moment when he just woke up.

Of course Rem notice that the man mind was going somewhere once again and she waste no time to bring him back to the living World by pinching his cheeks again.

Were it normal days she is sure she is going to enjoy doing this to him but since the situation now are pretty dire, she feel nothing but irritated... Okay maybe a bit of amusement but only a bit.

Rem: "Y/N-sama! Don't go back to sleep or go to somewhere! This is a serious matter!"

She said seriously while playing with the pseudo Saber cheeks, she must admit, he does have a soft cheeks. Now she can understand why he seems enjoying this.

(Y/N): "Alwight! Alwight!"

He said as he flailed in her grip. He place both his hands on top of hers and easily remove them from him -much to Rem's annoyance- then he begin to rub his eyes, after that he shake his head strongly.

(Y/N): "Okay, okay..."

He take deep breath before let it out slowly.

(Y/N): "What you saying again?"

Rem: "The Capital is under attack!"

Rem said almost in yelling voice

Y/N stare at her, face mixture of disbelief and... Confusion?

(Y/N): "The Capital... As if Capital the main city of Lugnica?"

Rem: "Yes!"

(Y/N): "The Capital... As if the most guarded city in this land?"

Rem: "Yes!"

(Y/N): "The-"

Rem: "Y/N-sama! Now is not the time!"

Rem snapped at him with irritated look.

(Y/N): "Sorry! Sorry!"

Y/N hastily apologized.

(Y/N): "It just..."

He take another deep breath, hand pinching his nose and he shook his head, dismissing any useless thought

(Y/N): "Alright, alright. Explain to me from the beginning."

Rem open her mouth, however before she can say anything the door of Y/N's room flung open rather forcefully, making both she and Y/N turned to it

Emilia: "Y/N! Quick we have to-You still sleep?!"

Emilia yelled when she notice Y/N still in his sleeping outfit.

(Y/N): "Emi? What-"

Emilia: "Look! There's no time! Go change your cloth! Rem, prepare the dragon! We're leaving soon!"

Rem: "Yes Emilia-sama."

Rem bowed to the half elf before she give one last look at Y/N who only blinking in confusion then she leave the half elf and the pseudo Saber alone.

(Y/N): "Emi..."

Y/N raised single eyebrow to her.

(Y/N): "Why are we going to the Capital?"
