Chapter 7: Ep 6 Director's Cut

The cast were all waiting for the screen to finish loading the next scene with varied anxious and wondering looks.

"I thought you said that he wouldn't die?" Felt kept her eyes on the screen but her question was directed at a certain half-elf.

Emilia, the girl that was panicking a moment ago when Subaru was being attacked had calmed down as she remembered exactly what happened.

"I wasn't really present with him so I was shocked by what happened to him. I knew he would get hurt but..."

"You never imagined it would be so brutal like this?" Frederica gave her opinion.

Emilia nodded her head and rubbed Subaru's hand while looking at the screen.

"He never tells me anything, he just goes on his own and gets hurt every time. He even died many times because of me." Emilia's voice was filled with sadness and her eyes illuminated with guilt and frustration as she looked down while gripping his hand.

"He tried to tell you but that hand thingy stopped him." Mimi pointed out from the back.

"He still could've told them that there was something dangerous he needs to deal with though." Tivey noted his opinion making many in the room nod with him.

"Subaru's mission would've been much easier had he told someone to help him." Anastasia agreed with her henchmen twins.

A soft broken voice spoke out from the corner of the room.

"He couldn't ask for anyone though..."

Everyone looked at Rem.

"What was that sis?" Ram asked with eyes filled by worry and sadness at the sight of her emotionless little Rem.

She wanted to hug her sissy, but Lord Roswaal told her that it would be best to leave her alone for now.

So Ram could only watch as her sister sat away from everyone and kept her head low, the once blue shining eyes were now dull and empty.

Her expression was tired and completely broken.

The blue haired maid, the guilty and emotional scarred Oni voiced her thoughts to her sister's question with a voice soft and slow.

As if she was dead.

"Subaru-kun didn't tell anyone about the mabeasts because he had no one. Beatrice-sama was acting as if she was annoyed by his existence. As far as we know, she was the only one willing to help him to a certain extent."

"What about me? Sure, he can't tell me about Return by Death, but he could still ask for my help! I would still help him!" Emilia quickly refuted the maid and gave her a look of conviction.

Rem met the half-elf's glare with a dead emotionless stare. The sheer coldness of Rem's eyes made Emilia want nothing but look away from her.

"If Subaru had asked you or any of us for help... I would've killed him."

"Ghk....!"

Emilia and Beatrice stared at Rem with horrified faces as both girls held the boy by each side.

These two were not alone...

"But why... H-He was only trying his best." Petra held on to Frederica and tried her best to hold the tears in. Her image of the sweet amazing Rem that Subaru would speak about all the time had shattered completely at this point. All she wants to know, is why Subaru tried so hard to save someone so cruel and scary.

"Why would he save you then?" Julius asked the maid with a tone uncharacteristic of him. Bitter, emotional and angry.

The knight was shaking in place as he glared at the maid.
