Chapter 51: Username

Seeing the small glimmer of lights shimmering around Emilia, YN knew she was doing her nightly routine of talking with the microspirits. Reaching the gazebo the two were under, he slumped over the railing, exhausted from his sprinting. Scaring away the twinkling lights that were around Emilia, the two were also surprised to see the YN so suddenly show up.

Emilia: Oh! YN! Did you see the spirits and decide to come running?

YN: *Huff* Not, *Huff* exactly.

Catching his breath YN pointed over to Subaru.

YN: I need to borrow him.

Surprised to hear he was the subject of this sudden encounter, Subaru protested.

Subaru: Just when I finally get some alone time with Emilia-tan I'm being ripped away! I refuse!

Crossing his arms in a pout, Subaru turned away.

Emilia: Umm, maybe I can help?

Shaking his head, YN answered, determination on his mind.

YN: Sorry, but I need him.

Subaru: You've got another thing coming if you think you can steal me away from Emilia-tan, especially coming from someone who actually gets to spend time with—

YN: Help me and you won't have to eat Ram's steamed tatoes for dinner tonight.

Giving a look of weakness to Emilia, Subaru slumped his shoulders and gave in.

Subaru: Fine. But can we maybe make it quick?

YN: No promises on that, but I will make do on my end.

Giving Emilia a small wave, Subaru bid her adieu.

Subaru: Sorry, Emilia-tan. But it sounds like I'm desperately needed elsewhere.

Surprised to see him leave so soon, Emilia jumbled over her words.

Emilia: Ah-eh, wha? Umm... Maybe I could come along? And what's that about Ram cooking? Where's Rem going to be...? She's the one who normally cooks...

Wanting to follow, YN had to give a weak wave to her as well.

YN: I'm really sorry Emilia, but since you're kind of out of the loop, I'm afraid I have to decline.

Seeing the look of sadness on her face, YN felt a pang of guilt. Putting his hands together, he pleaded to the girl to not feel so sad.

YN: I had some hiccups in my plan and I really need everything to stay a secret as much as I can, so the fewer people who know, the better. I promise I'll make it up to you for stealing away Subaru.

Seeing the half elf's expression slightly improve, she still had the same sadness in her eyes. Nodding, she agreed.

Emilia: Alright, it's a promise.

YN: Thank you!

Speed walking back up to the mansion across the lawn, the evening sun was starting to turn the sky a hue of yellow. Well out of earshot of Emilia, Subaru grunted in complaint.

Subaru: Just when Puck decided to go to bed early too... You really better be in dire straits to take me away from prime time with my Emilia-tan.

YN: I can promise you, I wouldn't do this unless I absolutely had to.

Arriving into the kitchen, Subaru first commented on how clean it looked inside while heading to the sink to wash his hands, but instantly recognized the one pot that was clearly in use and out of place. Opening the lid to YN's protest, Subaru furrowed his brow at the odd mixture inside.
