Felt If (Re:Zero)

Chapter 5: Too Obvious

"I mean it, Rein, I'm just fine now. Nothing bad happened." Subaru insisted

Subaru eventually made it to the dining hall. This was supposed to be the start of the first 'how to train your Felt' lesson but Subaru's little breakdown earlier caused Reinhard to be concerned.

Subaru couldn't understand why but it was as if Reinhard had some kind of third sense or something because he kept insisting.

"When you say nothing bad happened, what exactly occurred to make you think that?" Reinhard asked. It was as if everything Subaru said was detected as some kind of lie.

That was when it finally hit Subaru. Reinhard must have some kind of OP ability that could sense if he was lying or not. "W-Well, I guess something happened last night and it kinda spooked me."

Reinhard looked seriously at Subaru for a moment, going through all the potential possibilities in his head before he reached his own conclusions. "I see, so a bad dream, perhaps?"

"Something like that." Subaru said. That was vague enough to not be considered a lie, right? Regardless, it seemed to work as Reinhard seemed to finally relax a little.

"So that's what it was. I feared something serious might have happened to you. It seems that my worries were unwarranted." Reinhard smiled before continuing, "I believe now would be a good time to start with our lessons now."

Here it is, the first lesson on how to use silverware.

...

...

...

"I know what a fork is! I'm not stupid!" Felt argued.

"In that case, this lesson should be easy." Reinhard smiled. With a click of her tongue, Felt shoveled some of the food with her fork. Before she could take a bite, Reinhard intervened. "Not like that, you're supposed to use your fork like this." The knight demonstrated his silverware prowess, and just like the last loop, Felt didn't care.

Subaru couldn't help but chuckle at this. It was kinda nice in a way to relive these little moments.

Felt suddenly pointed her fork to Subaru, taking his chuckle the wrong way. "Hey! What's so funny?"

Not wanting to experience death by fork, Subaru protectively waved his hands in front of himself. "It's nothing, us eating here together like this is just kinda nice, lil' sis."

Felt looked at him with a confused look for a moment. "Lil' sis?" She asked herself. After a moment, she just nodded and smiled. Looks like she still likes that nickname. "Yeah, I guess it's pretty nice. Especially the food. Glad this place has at least one redeeming quality." Being in a better mood, she resumed eating.

"There you two are! What's with the hold up?" Felt asked as Reinhard and Subaru entered the room they were going to start their real lessons.

"We were just going over the schedule plan. Just making sure it's lil' sis friendly." Subaru assured.

"You make it sound weird. What do you even mean?" Felt locked her eyes on Subaru, staring at him suspiciously.

"Trust me, you'll thank me later." Subaru smiled and gave the girl a thumbs up.

Felt let out a sigh. "Fine, I want to get this over with anyways."

Reinhard started to teach Felt and Subaru the first lesson soon after. The lessons proceeded practically identical to last time where Felt had a hard time keeping her posture and Subaru was knocking it out of the park.
