Keep Playing with You
"What's going on?"
This is probably the first time, right?
For the first time, Ram's voice contained an extreme emotion that was so obvious that others could notice it.
In the past, although Ram's attitude was very independent, generally speaking, except for Roswaal as the master, he didn't care much about other things.
This seemingly rebellious maid is only loyal to Roswaal.
In this regard, from the first time Ram met Fang Li, when he saw Fang Li, a dangerous man, with Emilia, his expressions were unrestrained. What a change, but it can be seen from the fact that when Emilia mentioned that he wanted to bring Fang Li back to the Roswaal Mansion, the maid's mood changed significantly.
Ram was worried that Fang Li would pose a threat to Roswaal, so it reacted at that time.
This was the second time Fang Li saw Ram and had an obvious reaction.
A much more obvious and extreme reaction than the last time.
However, this is not valid for Fang Li.
Fang Li had somewhat anticipated Ram's reaction, and even more expected that Rem would never hide what he said from Ram.
If Ram has a loyalty to Roswaal that no one else can match, then Rem has a respect and love for sister Ram that no one else can match and will never go against her sister's wishes.
So, Fang Li didn't even raise his head and continued to flip through the books in front of him.
At this moment, a strong wind rose.
"Fura!"
Along with Ram's intensely emotional voice, a gust of wind turned into a sharp invisible blade, like a sickle and weasel, and swept in the direction of Fang Li.
That's wind-attribute magic.
Under the whistling wind, the invisible blade rubbed the air and shot out.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived in front of Fang Li.
However, Fang Li still didn't even raise his head, he just raised a hand with stars flashing on it.
"Bang————!"
Amidst the muffled sound, Fang Li suddenly waved his hand and blasted away the incoming wind blade.
"Bang————!"
The invisible blade like a sickle and weasel suddenly fell heavily on the window, instantly shattering the window and causing countless fragments to fall down.
"————!"
Ram couldn't help but change his expression.
It was only then that Fang Li closed the book in front of him, turned his head and looked at Ram.
"Have you calmed down? If not, I don't mind continuing to play with you?"
The indifferent tone made Ram's hands clenched tightly.
Just from this hasty exchange, Ram already knew.
I am no match for Fang Li.
At least, it's absolutely impossible now.
This made Ram bite his lips slightly.
At this time, a hand pressed Ram's shoulder.
"Calm down, Ram."
The one who said such words was Roswaal who appeared next to Ram at some point.
Roswaal looked at Fang Li, with the same funny smile as before, Shi Shiran said, "I believe that Mr. Fang Li is not someone who would do such a thing, so calm down."
Although Roswaal's tone sounded very funny, there was a slight sense of oppression in his words.
This made Ram finally calm down a little and fell into silence.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Li." Roswaal said to Fang Li leisurely, "My servant seems to be too impulsive. Please don't mind the rudeness."
"If I had to worry about everything in this mansion, I would be busy." Fang Li said with a disapproving look, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
"Well, don't be so cold to me." Roswaal shrugged and said to Fang Li, "I want to know a little bit about Rem. Can you come with me to Rem?"
Fang Li did not answer, but stood up, walked straight out of the room under the gazes of Roswaal and Ram, and came to a door opposite the room.
Immediately, Fang Li opened the door directly.
Opposite the door is a guest room that is not the same as Fang Li's room.
The person who appeared in the door was Forbidden Library.
"Fang Li." Emilia was actually in Forbidden Library, looking at Fang Li who walked in from the door, showing a worried look.
On his shoulder, although Parker was sitting there, he did not look at Fang Li, but looked in front of him.
There, Beatrice stretched out a hand towards Rem in front of him, with dazzling magic light waving in his hand.
"Uh...!"
Rem made a somewhat depressed sound, and under the dazzling magic light, wisps of black mist were rising all over his body.
The black mist was not only extremely ominous, but also filled with an evil aura.
This kind of breath is tightly wrapped around Rem's body, like a rope, binding Rem's whole body.
Maintaining this state, it was not until a while later that the light of magic power in Beatrice's hand dimmed.
But the black mist penetrated into Rem's body again, causing Rem to make a depressed sound again and slowly fall down.
"Rem!"
Ram immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and hugged his sister.
"Ha... ha..."
Rem lay in Ram's arms, panting.
That gasping sound was full of pain.
Seeing this, Ram's expression became ugly, and he quickly raised his head and looked at Beatrice.
However, before Ram could speak, Beatrice spoke.
"No." Beatrice said without any hesitation, "The number of spells implanted in her body is too many, and they can no longer be removed."
In one sentence, the temperature at the scene dropped to freezing point.
Ram, who was holding Rem, had a rare wavering in his eyes.
Emilia even lowered his head, his eyes filled with sadness.
Even Parker crossed his arms and closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.
Only Roswaal spoke in a low voice.
"... Is it really Curse Arts?"
Curse Arts refers to a subspecies of magic and Spirit Arts, a spell that uses curses as its main method.
In other words, Rem is cursed.
Where is Curse Arts division.
"I'm afraid, this maid has been in contact with the caster many times before, and the spell was quietly buried in her body. It was only today that Curse Arts was applied, which activated all the spells in one go, making it completely impossible to remove it."
Beatrice said to Ram expressionlessly, "Does this maid go out often recently?"
"... Yes." Ram hugged Rem tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Because Witch Cult may attack at any time, Master Roswaal has special instructions to prepare various items just in case. Therefore, Rem has been going to the village three times a day recently."
"In this case, there is no doubt." Beatrice declared.
"Curse Arts division is in that village."
