(Rem x Reader) Re:Reader - Starting YOUR New Life in Another World

Chapter 55: The Endless Eight - Part 1

A/N: We have a surprise release for tonight! I want to occasionally drop a surprise chapter every now and again because I know there's a lot of people who have been wanting this fic to continue for a long time. So without further ado, here's Chapter 55.

Big thanks to tobychevy and ShuTDowN for finding the previous chapter's grammar and spelling errors.

Chapter 55: The Endless Eight – Part 1

Having returned from the tavern, YN opened his and Subaru's room with a *ker-chunk* of the lock on their door. Hearing another *ker-chunk*, they peered down to the door just across from theirs, also being opened.

Looking up and yawning in reply, Emilia's amethyst eyes were filled with fatigue from the day of travel.

Opening the door to their room, Rem spoke to everyone present.

Rem: Rem requested a wake up knock from the front desk so we can be sure to leave and have plenty of daylight for travel.

YN: Sounds good, we'll wake up when we get it and make sure to ready the carriage.

Emilia: We'll be counting on you, goodnight YN, goodnight Subaru.

Subaru: Yeah, good— *yawn* night.

With the two groups going into their respective room, they prepared to retire for the night.

YN: It isn't like back home, no air conditioning, no stupid little mini-fridge that over charges you for a bottle of water... It's just a room to sleep in.

Subaru: Hah, yeah. It's definitely a different world. It's nothing like when me and my parents would go on vacation. My dad used to always crank the air conditioning all the way up and my mom and I would be frozen come morning.

Seeing him mention his parents, Subaru seemed to have put a dampener on his own mood.

YN: You still miss them a lot, I can tell.

Subaru: It's my own stupid fault for thinking of them... And I'd say I feel more guilty than anything. I'm here in this world having fun while they're probably scared sick. I wish I could just let them somehow know I was okay.

Climbing into his own bed, Subaru covered himself with his blanket.

YN: I wish I had something reassuring to say to you. Something like 'Oh I'm sure your parents know you're just fine.'

Without getting a reply from him immediately, Subaru laughed for a moment. Simply repeating YN's old screen name, he continued.

Subaru: You talk a lot like how you typed.

YN: At least you could read what I typed. I can't remember how many times I had to ask you 'what?' because you used way too much leet-speak.

Subaru: Hey now, when I have to carry you I don't have the time to type up a complete sentence.

YN: Yeah, is that why you had such a terrible K-D?

Subaru: That's because I was the only one taking risks!

Getting into his own bed, YN fluffed up the flat pillow.

YN: Well, I guess we have a long day of travel ahead of us— A—... A-chew!

Subaru: Hmm, sounds like someone is talking about you.

YN: I don't want to think about it.

Subaru: Will you get the rock-lamp thing?

YN: Yeah I can reach it.

Tapping the lamp, the room went dark.

Flipping away from facing YN, there was silence between them as they seemed to settle in for sleep. Just as it felt YN was about to fall into a slumber, Subaru spoke up once more.
