A/N: Again, this is another chapter based (more loosely then the last) off an arc 2 short story, namely "Rem's Day Off" or sometimes TL'd as "The Head Maid's Restless Day Off", which again, was TL'd by Remonwater, and is also a very cute read. Also, I inserted a bit of a reference to a specific yuri series as well as another reference to a yuri horror game with some words and phrasing changed up (an idea I got from an online friend)I n this chapter, so let me know if you spot it! Thanks for reading!
Chapter 33: A Painter In My Mind.
After a day of making mayonnaise, Lyra and Subaru were given two final days of rest before returning to work. Lyra had spent her day off socializing with Subaru and company.
Subaru had eventually gotten himself wrapped up in some sort of shenanigans in Arlem with the village children at some point, so she decided to try socializing with Rem and Ram. However, with the twin maids both occupied in running the mansion, Lyra’'s only real chance for speaking with either of them was at the meal hall table, She had not one, but two conversations over tea with Emilia, one involving small talk along with the usual questions about Lyra’s gate, and the other…
Emilia: So, Lyra? Tell me…am I correct in assuming you're what they call “gay"?
Lyra nearly choked on her tea as her face turned bright red. She stuttered out a flustered response.
Lyra: Wh-wh-what g-gave you THAT idea?!
Emilia O-oh, well, it's just that Subaru told me about your feelings for Rem and that you were wondering if it would be legal for you to eventually marry her. I don't know much about romance to be honest, but I do believe that same-gender marriage has been legal here for quite some time now. As for myself, I personally think that as long as you are both happy together, I support your relationship!
Lyra: I mean…we're not in a relationship YET…and I don't know if she feels the same way about me just yet …I d-do have f-feelkngs for her, though….and I-I appreciate your support!
Lyra sat there blushing and stuttering like a complete mess of a woman, typical of someone who felt attraction towards someone and had been called out on it
Emilia smiled at Lyra.
Emilia: Of course. Anything for a friend.
Lyra took a bit to calm herself down before smiling back at Emilia.
Lyra: Yeah. Of course!
With the conversation concluding after some more small talk between the two, and as soon as Emilia walked out of Lyra’s room, she thought to herself.
Why can't Emilia give this kind of attention to SUBARU? He'd be off the wall for not ONE,but TWO whole tea times with her! I DO appreciate her company and everything, but still!
With the twins working well into the evening, there was to be no tutoring session tonight yet again. Fearful of another day of minmal conversation with the twins, especially Rem, Lyra searched out Ram.
Lyra knocked on Ram’s bedroom door. Ram opened the door and was surprised to see Lyra there so late at night. Standing halfway behind the door, Ram answered the door in her pink nightgown as Lyra stood in front of her in her own yellow nightgown.
Ram: Lyra. This is unlike you to bother Ram at this hour. Is everything okay?
Sighing, Lyra came clean.
Lyra: I want to return to work early, starting tomorrow.
Staring blankly at Lyra before answering, Ram's red eyes cut right through her as she awaited her response.
