Our Other Place In The Sun

Chapter 3 (Reunited At Last)

For the past two weeks Subaru has been teaching Rem Japanese to the best of his abilities. Subaru knew If Rem was going to be staying with him for a while then she had to start learning how to read Japanese on her own without having to have Subaru translate for her

Rem was very enthusiastic when the idea was proposed to her. Rem wanted to be able to watch more movies with Subaru without having to ask Subaru what was happening every fifteen minutes. She also wanted to start making trips of her own to the convenience store, and do a variety of other things

Rem's experience in Japan has so far been the best experience in her life. Rem had already made her mind up, she wanted to spend the rest of her life in Japan with Subaru. Being with Subaru was better than working a repetitive and boring maid job for the rest of her life

Though she loved Rosswal, Ram, Beatrice, and Emilia. Rem needed a change in scenery

Rem knew that Ram, and Beatrice were working day and night trying to get a portal open to link their two worlds, and felt guilty knowing what she really wanted.

Rem didn't really care if she returned at this point, she was happy and that's what mattered to her the most. Though she did miss seeing Ram, and the others everyday

Rem was brushing her hair in the bathroom looking into the mirror, she was getting ready for another one of Subarus' teachings, before they went to bed. Rem was a fast learner, she has almost grasped the basics of writing in Japanese. She could now read out basic words, but she still had a long way to go.

Rem saw her reflection start to become distorted and replaced with a reflection of Ram looking at her. A bright smile grew on Rem's face when she saw her sister again

"Hi Nee-Sama," Rem said, waving at the mirror. Ram waved back with a light smile on her face. Rem noticed that Ram looked horrible. Her hair was a mess, and there were bags under her eyes. Rem knew Ram was pushing herself to the limits to help open a portal and retrieve Rem

"Hello Rem, where's Barusu?" Ram asked. Yawning soon after

"Subaru is in the living room getting ready to teach Rem more Japanese. They use a different written language here in Japan, so Subaru decided to teach me" Rem said joyfully

"That's good Rem, but I wouldn't put too much effort in. Me and Lady Beatrice have been working hard to get a portal up and running. We have made a breakthrough, and she told me she could attempt to make the portal in the next couple days. That means you can come home." Ram said cheerfully excited to see her sister in person again

"That's only if the teleportation spell is performed successfully I suppose. Anything could happen." Beatrice said out of Rems sight

Rem's smile started to fade a bit. She knew she was going to have to break the news about her new relationship with Subaru to Ram eventually. But she was scared Ram wouldnt approve

Rem took a deep breath in "Lady Beatrice, are you only able to summon the portal once. Or could you summon it again at a later date" Rem asked

"Hmmm, with enough practice I should be able to be open to the portal upon request however. As far as I know there needs to be a week to cool down before attempting again." Beatrice said. Rem's face lit up at this news. She could live with both Subaru and see her sister and Rosswal.

"I think it will be better just to close the portal all together once we get Rem out of there, I see no reason why we should bring that idiot Barusu back. He's served his purpose. I think he is better suited in his own world anyway" Ram said, frowning slightly. Rems heart felt crushed after hearing her sister say this

"NEE-SAMA! WHAT GOTTEN INTO YOU!" Rem shouted in disapproval of Ram's suggestion. Rem's smile fully vanished from her face.

Ram noticed her tone, and the look on her face and gave Rem a weird look "What's the matter Rem?" Ram asked
