Re:Shut-In

This is not how it ends

I recommend you to read while getting out of re-zero logic where dying for a random girl totally makes sense and life is just a dirt. Sorry to put it that way but that's how it is. Just saying this for the sake of your enjoyment.

Let's start.

"Let me help you find whatever is stolen from you!"

He stated once again. Breaking the silence once again. Surprising the elf once again. Unnerving the spirit once again.

Being unpredictable. Making choices and using your abilities. That was the only choice for him.

"B-but just what happened? Why do you say that out of nowhere?" The elf was surprised, unable to hide the shock on her face. She kept muttering the same word she did when things got too much for her: Why?

Subaru first thought she was questioning something but no, she was just out of her comfort zone. She would ask why but she would not search for answers.

Just like her 'daddy'. He might be strong and know more than his 'daughter' but that did not change the fact he was lacking.

"What happened doesn't stop me from giving a helping hand. Regardless of what happened, he is fine with this too." Subaru stated while looking at the spirit.

"Me...?" Puck was about to recover from his long-remained shock, only to be hit by something again.

Puck had no idea what was happening right now. What this guy was saying was lost to him.

Once again. Puck's inability to keep his composure confirmed a few things for Subaru.

'One thing I was asking myself why did he threaten me that way? Saying that I wouldn't survive anyway. Then it dawned on me, he wanted to use me. For what? Well. If he had a similar lack of common sense and if he had no powers to track the thief down. Both his need for me and that poorly structured threat made sense. I saw her, the thief and for some reason, he wants more than information, he wants me to accompany them.' Subaru summarized.

He wasn't a genius capable of forming super-long thoughts in a matter of seconds. The reason he reached so many conclusions was that the elf and 'Puck' had taken so much time saying and doing nothing. Whether it be coming out of shock or deciding something they took their sweet time as if there were no consequences for it. That gives Subaru time to think.

They did not possess the ability to gather their composure quickly or decide things fast. Subaru, however, came from Japan. The strict education system and a place where social awkwardness was punished and he could not afford to say anything too careless. They, however, lacked so much at pretty much anything socially related that the gap between Subaru and these two was socially similar to the gap between their power levels: wide as heaven and earth. Even Puck's threat was poorly structured. He had a chance here and he would not miss that.

'Making my choices and using my abilities. I don't have any special abilities or supernatural abilities. However, they lack average things a normal human needs. Spirit was too powerful, he did not require to communicate with anyone. He got what he wanted when he wanted. That much was obvious and he pretty much screamed that fact at me. Elf, however, I am not sure, she acts like she never talked to anyone in her life but this rat. Regardless, her input or how much I talk to her is irrelevant. She has no control, it has to be Puck. I gotta do this with Puck.' Subaru made his decisions. If he understood Puck to a level then this might just work.

"Puck..." Elf girl muttered. Subaru had to be quick.

"You need me. I saw the girl, I don't know who she is, however, I do remember her face. I also think I can help in other ways. I will do my best. I think this is your best shot." Subaru said all he had to say. He could already see gears starting to turn on Puck's head. He was curious about what kind of conclusion a powerful and arrogant being would reach. He had allowed his 'daughter' to get the wrong idea after all. Holding the truth off of her for his own sake and manipulating her decision.
