Chapter 30 artifacts

Rem: "So Y/N-sama has returned back."

Rem said, her voice filled with joy as she stared at the man that was sitting in his bed.

Rem: "Rem is glad to see this."

The blond furrowed his eyebrows and gave her a look.

(Y/N): "Glad to be back."

He nodded,

(Y/N): "But I never thought you would be so... happy about it."

Giving yesterday the blue oni pampering and practically treating him like her personal doll, he expected her to be slightly disappointed.

She even brought breakfast to his room instead of calling him or waking him up like usual. No doubt she wanted to feed him again.

Rem smiled at the blond.

Rem: "While Rem does like Y/N-sama in his child form, the one that Rem loves is the Y/N-sama that sits before Rem."

The blond eyes widened at the sudden confession, his cheeks instantly reddened, and he gaped at the oni for a moment.

(Y/N): "W-Well... That... that..."

He stuttered, trying to form coherent words.

(Y/N): "That was very sweet of you."

He stammered out and turned his face away from her immediately, not wanting the maid to see his flustered face any further.

Rem let out a giggle. It sounded so melodic,

Rem: "Thank you, Y/N-sama."

The blond merely grunted and groaned internally. How the hell should he respond to that blatant confession? Seriously! It came from nowhere! And frankly, he would be lying if he said that his heart did not skip a beat when hearing them.

Having a beautiful girl declare her love to you in such a manner will have that effect after all.

Rem: "Ah, since Y/N-sama's body has returned, then shall Rem assume Y/N-sama's appetite has also returned?"

Y/N blinked and stared down at his food. He noticed there was not as much as usual. Probably because she thought he would still remain a child and thus unable to eat a lot.

(Y/N): "Yeah, I can do with an extra portion."

Rem: "Then Rem shall go and take more food!"

Rem replied happily,

Rem: "Please wait for a moment."

After saying that, the blue oni gives a small bow before leaving the room.

Y/N stared at where the maid was a moment ago before chomping his breakfast and sighed. This day just got started and he is already getting flustered like this. There are still many things he needs to solve and finish today, starting from talking with Emilia-and everyone, might as well finish it-about the upcoming threat, mulling over what he should do about Beatrice and...

(Y/N): 'Ram...'

He groaned internally as his mind wandered to the pink oni while chewing a piece of meat.

Rem had asked him to help her, albeit it was indirect, and truthfully she didn't need to. Y/N would gladly help Ram if he could. The thing is, he didn't know what to say to her, let alone know just what made her bothered in the very first place.

Oh, make no mistake, he has a general idea of what it is. It is highly possible that it was that damn clown-again, even when he is not here, that ancient leech still able to make his life harder somehow-who is responsible for making Ram... Like this.
