For moment he was sure time just stopped for him, his mind trying to comprehend exactly what Rem just said.

And due to how absurd and incredulous the mental image for him, his brain failed to do it job

Which mean his brain temporarily goes down, again

And it not helping that he just awake, and as everyone know, he is not in his brightest moment when he just woke up

Of course Rem notice that the man mind was going somewhere once again and she waste no time to bring him back to living World by pinching his cheeks again

Were it normal days she is sure she going to enjoy doing this to him but since the situation now pretty dire, she feel nothing but irritated... Okay maybe a bit of amusement but only a bit

"Aaron-sama! Don't go back to sleep or go to somewhere! This is serious matter!" She said seriously while playing with the pseudo Saber cheeks, she must admit, he does have soft cheeks. Now she can understand why he seems enjoying this

"Alwight! Alwight!" He said as he flailed in her grip. He place both his hands on top of hers and easily remove them from him -much to Rem's annoyance- then he begin to rub his eyes, after that he shake his head strongly "Okay, okay..." He take deep breath before let it out slowly "What you saying again?"

"The Capital is under attack!" Rem said almost in yelling voice

Aaron stare at her, face mixture of disbelief and... Confusion?

"The Capital... As if Capital the main city of Lugnica?"

"Yes!"

"The Capital... As if the most guarded city in this land?"

"Yes!"

"The-"

"Aaron-sama! Now is not the time!" Rem snapped at him with irritated look

"Sorry! Sorry!" Aaron hastily apologized "It just..." He take another deep breath, hand pinching his nose and he shook his head, dismissing any useless thought "Alright, alright. Explain to me from the beginning."

Rem open her mouth, however before she can say anything the door of Aaron's room flung open rather forcefully, making both she and Aaron turned to it

"Aaron! Quick we have to-You still sleep?!" Emilia yelled when notice Aaron still in his sleeping outfit

"Emi? What-"

"Look! There's no time! Go change your cloth! Rem, prepare the dragon! We leaving soon!"

"Yes Emilia-sama."

Rem bowed to the half elf before she give one last look at Aaron who only blinking in confusion then she leave the half elf and the pseudo Saber alone

"Emi..." Aaron raised single eyebrow to her "Why we going to the Capital?" He inquired

"Why?" Emilia sounded flabbergasted and shocked at the question "Why?! Isn't it obvious?! Aaron! The Capital is under attack!"

"So?" He pressed in uncaring voice "Pardon me for my lack of enthusiasm but... You do realize that Lugnica is dubbed as the Kingdom who is strongest right? Even if right now we weakened but we still strong, Vollachia that harbor ill feeling toward us even think thrice before attacking." He tilt his head "Do you get what I mean? Even if the Capital attacked there won't be anything big happen, it still going to-"

"But I can't just not coming like that!" Emilia cut him with straight voice "Aaron! There people in there! Even if the Capital manage to repel the attacker but there still-"
