Chapter 60: The Endless Eight – Part 6

Waking with a soft feeling under his head, YN slowly opened his eyes to a familiar hue of blue looking down at him.

Rem: Did YN-kun enjoy his nap?

YN: Ugh, my head kind of hurts.

Awaking more, a fog of pain clouded YN's mind like a bad hangover or really bad caffeine crash.

Rem: Here, sit up.

Helping YN to his knees from her lap, Rem rubbed YN's shoulders as he continued to adjust himself.

Rem: It appears Beatrice-sama is also coming back.

Having put herself into a zen-like state, Beatrice stood, frozen in place, hand still extended from having cast her magic. The drill haired girl wore a blank expression, unfitting for her cuteness. Slowly, her own eyes opened, revealing the butterfly pattern in them.

Opening fully, she shut one as if on reflex, and cupped her extended hand back to her own forehead, as if suffering from a headache of her own.

Rem: Beatrice-sama, is your mind sore as well? Rem can fetch some tea—

Beatrice: —No.

With both YN and Rem caught off by Beatrice's sharp reply, the drill haired girl fixed her posture while giving them each a very brief, but nonetheless existent look of pity.

Seeing her words had an impact on them, Beatrice corrected herself.

Beatrice: —N-No thank you...

Looking down at the floor, she continued with words under her breath.

Beatrice: You've both done plenty...

YN: Beatrice-sama?

Turning both her hands at her side into tiny fists, Beatrice recomposed herself and looked back up.

Beatrice: Nothing. Betty did not find anything of significance. These phantom memories of yours are just random daydreaming, I suppose. The Scent as well, appears to be unrelated.

Turning away from them, Beatrice continued.

Beatrice: Rem, take YN to ready the carriage, it will need to be readied soon.

Rem: Yes, Beatrice-sama.

Standing up, Rem offered a hand to YN to help him up, but he did not take it. He couldn't. After all, he had just heard something too strange to

YN: You—, You just called us by our names.

Surprised she hadn't noticed it, Rem put a hand to her chest in silent reply. But knowing she had slipped up, Beatrice remained with her back to them both, not saying anything.

YN: You don't ever do that.

With silence between them for a moment more, Beatrice finally spoke as she walked back to her chair and books.

Beatrice: Betty is done here and has to find where she left off in her book, I suppose. Please, find your way out or Betty will have to assist.

Knowing Beatrice had threatened to blow YN out of the library last time as well, Rem grabbed YN's hand and brought him to his feet.
