Chapter 46: Window Shopping

Knowing it was midday, YN met Ram at the top of the steps leading to the mansion's main entrance.

Ram: Are you ready?

YN: Yeah. Think so.

Patting all his pockets, YN felt his phone, his wallet, and his pouch of coins.

That's everything.

While his phone had limited usage in this world, he was still unsure why he carried his wallet. Perhaps only out of habit.

Walking down towards the village, YN attempted to make small talk with the pink haired maid.

YN: So, what did you tell Rem to cover our tracks?

Looking at him as if confused, Ram tilted her head.

Ram: What do you mean?

YN: I mean, what did you tell Rem to hide the fact that we're going down to the village? That way if she asks, I can play along with the story.

Ram: Ram told her nothing of the sorts.

Responding as flatly as she could, YN slumped his shoulders.

YN: But isn't that going to sound weird? If she finds out we went to the village, that's one thing, but if we don't come back with groceries? That's going to raise some red flags.

Ram: Oh, you mean a cover story. No. Ram did not use one. I told Rem exactly what we're doing.

Putting his hands on his head, YN couldn't believe what Ram said.

YN: What?? Why would you tell her?!

Ram: With as much as Rem watches you, do you think it's possible to keep a secret from her?

YN: Wait, what?

Ram: You already know she watches you sleep every morning, do you really not think she's watching your every move? She even followed us all the way to the edge of the mansion.

YN: Huh?? How could you—?

Ram: You forget that we can sense each other.

Turning around and looking at the tree line behind them, YN did his best to try and see if he could see a spec of Rem's blue hair.

Ram: Don't be alarmed, Rem didn't follow us past the gate.

Thinking to himself, YN was almost flattered by the notion more than "alarmed."

That's actually kind of cute really... Almost like having my own guardian angel.

Seeing YN had no opposition to the idea of Rem constantly watching, Ram sighed.

Ram: It seems the two of you are perfect for each other in every way.

The two continued walking until they reached the village, and upon arrival at the marketplace, Ram split from YN, allowing him to look for a gift for Rem on his own.

***

Waking around the market square, YN went from stall to stall, trying to find something he thought Rem might like.

I can't help but shake the feeling that most of this stuff from the vendors is the same tourist-trap tier things you find in almost every souvenir store in a resort town or something.
