Chapter 137: —But For You

Stoically stood outside the entrance to the Tomb, he awaited his turn, should it come, to stop the golden-haired youth who could not be allowed to interrupt the important dialog going on in the dark behind him.

With his beloved's handmade cloak around his shoulders, it was a last ditch effort to bolster his own courage, and remind him what he was doing this all for.

This is all for Rem's sake... We get past the Sanctuary, we get a step closer to waking her up.

It all tied into itself after all.

His cloak, fluttering in the mild breeze that swept the clearing he stood over, at the top of the Tomb's steps, appeared almost like a cape.

His fellow wayward traveling companion had gone inside the structure behind him. Pushing against the rejection it offered him, he arrived at the dark, dank place that their camp's Royal Selection Candidate had run off to.

Good luck in there, Subaru.

YN, the guarder of this conversation now, had come back to tell the black-haired boy that things were in motion, and that soon the gambit to subdue Garfiel, and buy Subaru the time he needed alone with Emilia, was underway.

As the sun set on this day, YN saw the orange and yellow rays of light cascade down upon the treetops of the Sanctuary. As he watched the leaves dance, basking in the last few hours of daylight, a muffled roar could be heard, echoing throughout the forest. From that direction, a small swarm of birds, silhouetted against the evening light, flew out from the tree top canopy, fleeing from the beast responsible for that yell of might.

First to face the Golden Tiger, would be merchant, utilizing the full potential of his Divine Protection.

Second, would be the elder twin sister of the woman he loved, pushing herself to her body's limits no doubt.

Third, of course, would be the groundskeeper.

All three of them had but one task; buy time. For every second one lasted, the next didn't need.

Awaiting what would surely be his turn, lest a miracle occur for the first two, YN readied himself as best he could.

YN: I have to have faith in my allies... If I don't, they'll surely falter... I also need to be ready to play my part. The buck stops here. If I'm going to he successful, then I'll need to—

*Muffled Shouting*

Cutting off his own words, whispering to only himself under his breath, YN turned his head around to the source of the sound that had made him stop.

From inside the Tomb behind him, there was shouting echoing out from its entrance. Inside, it appeared, Emilia and Subaru were having a lovers quarrel.

Oh jeez...

While he and Rem had never gotten into it like this before, YN figured this was bound to happen between Subaru and Emilia at some point.

As YN turned his back to the Tomb again though, the shouting only got worse. Faintly, louder than any of the previous shouts, what was clearly Subaru's voice echoed out; "If love isn't a good enough reason to put faith in someone, then why in the world would I subject myself to all this strife for such a pain-in-the-ass woman!?"

With insults now being thrown, all in a heat of passionate feelings, built up stress, and insecurities being tested, the shouting became that much louder between the two. Words like "Liar!", "Asshole!", and "Bully!" kept flying out of the Tomb.
