A/N: Hello everyone. Here's this week's chapter!. Big set up for events! Also, sorry for the lack of chapter releases recently! I was having a hard time with WiFi and not being able to log in to FF.Net, but it's all good now! Thanks for your support!

Chapter 46: Window Shopping

Knowing it was midday, Lyra  met Ram at the top of the steps leading to the mansion's main entrance.

Ram: Are you ready?

Lyra: Yep! Sure am!

Patting all her pockets, Lyra felt her phone, her wallet, and her pouch of coins.

That's everything!

While her phone had limited usage in this world, she was still unsure why she carried her wallet. Perhaps only out of habit.

Walking down towards the village, Lyra attempted to make small talk with the pink-haired maid.

Lyra So, what did you tell Rem to cover our tracks?

Looking at her as if confused, Ram tilted her head.

Ram: What do you mean?

Lyra: I mean, what did you tell Rem to hide the fact that we're going down to the village? That way if she asks, I can play along with the story.

Ram: Ram told her nothing of the sort.

Ram responded as flatly as she could. Once she did, Lyra slumped her shoulders.

Lyra: But isn't that going to sound WEIRD? If she finds out we went to the village, that's one thing, but if we don't come back with groceries? That's going to raise some red flags for SURE!

Ram: Oh, you mean a cover story. No. Ram did not use one. I told Rem EXACTLY what we're doing.

Putting her hands on her head, Lyra couldn't believe what Ram said.

Lyra: What? Why would you tell her?!

Ram: With as much as Rem watches you, do you think it's possible to keep a secret from her?

Lyra: Wait, what?!

Ram: You already know she watches you sleep every morning, do you really NOT think she's watching your EVERY move? She even followed us all the way to the edge of the mansion.

Lyra; Huh? How could you—?

Ram: You forget that we can sense each other.

Turning around and looking at the tree line behind them, Lyra did her best to try and see if she could see at least  spec of Rem's blue hair.

Ram: Don't be alarmed. Rem didn't follow us past the gate.

Thinking to herself, Lyra was more flattered by the notion than "alarmed."

That's actually kind of cute, really... Almost like having my own guardian angel!

Seeing Lyra had no opposition to the idea of Rem constantly watching, Ram sighed.

Ram: It seems the two of you are perfect for each other in every way.

The two continued walking until they reached the village, and upon arrival at the marketplace, Ram split from Lyra, allowing her to look for a gift for Rem on her own. Waking around the market square, Lyra went from stall to stall, trying to find something she thought Rem might like.

I can't help but shake the feeling that most of this stuff from the vendors is the same tourist-trap tier things you find in almost every souvenir store in a resort town or something.
