A Child Who Never Lets Anyone Rest Easy

After that, Beatrice showed no mercy and kicked everyone out of the Forbidden Library.

"Now that the matter is resolved, let Betty get out of here."

After saying that, Beatrice kicked everyone out.

This includes Rem, who is extremely weak.

"Of course, my brother is an exception."

Beatrice, having uttered these words, abandoned her cold demeanor when she chased everyone away. Instead, she smiled innocently and romantically, like a flower in bloom. Holding Parker, she spun around as she returned to the Forbidden Library, ruthlessly closing the Opportunity Gate.

Under these circumstances, Fang Li and Emilia were invited by Roswaal.

"I think we need to discuss the matter of the Curse Arts."

So Roswaal invited Fang Li and Emilia to his study.

Only Ram remained, supporting the weak Rem as they returned to their room.

"Come here, Rem."

Ram helped his younger sister to lie down on the bed.

Rem obediently did as she was told.

However, throughout the entire process, Rem kept staring at Ram's face.

This is something that has never been done before.

Because, in Rem's heart, she was just a substitute who had always been chasing after her sister's back, and she had no right to face her beloved sister's face.

So, this feeling is something I haven't felt in a long time.

It's been so long that Rem can't even remember exactly how long it's been.

"Um?"

Unaware of what Rem was thinking, Ram tilted her head and spoke to Rem.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

His attitude remained as decisive and efficient as ever.

This was once the prodigy of the Oni, a terrifying being hailed as Oni God.

For Rem, this decisive and straightforward action is also part of her sister's charm.

However, it was only in that instant that Rem realized it.

My sister isn't really as decisive and efficient as she seems on the surface.

At least, for this one moment, Rem can see it.

The older sister, with her calm demeanor, had an uncontrollable worry in her eyes.

Realizing this, Rem involuntarily closed her eyes.

Tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Rem?"

Ram's surprised voice rang out.

That's only natural.

Since arriving at the Roswaal Mansion, Ram has almost never seen his sister express such emotions again, let alone sadness or joy.

How could Ram not be surprised?

However, Rem couldn't care less about any of that anymore.

(Why wasn't this discovered before?)

Rem had only this thought in her mind.

Why wasn't this discovered before?

She didn't realize that she was still the same as before, constantly worrying her sister.

No matter how weak my sister becomes, or how strong I become, my sister will always be my sister.

It's only natural to worry about my younger sister.

Therefore, on the day the Oni was wiped out, Ram could go to save Rem without hesitation.

Even if it costs just a corner of something, it's the same.

And now, Ram remains unchanged.

Even though her power has weakened, Ram will still fight desperately for Rem.

That's why Ram went to Fang Li.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the level of strength.

Such Ram doesn't need a substitute at all.

All he needs is his younger sister, Rem.

Just as Fang Li said.

(Rem is such an idiot...)

Therefore, it is necessary to say it out loud.

Thinking of this, Rem opened her eyes.

There was no inferiority complex or self-blame on her face, only tear stains.

"Elder sister..."

Rem began to sob.

"Sorry..."

That short sentence left Ram completely stunned.

Immediately afterward, all the worry and surprise on Ram's face vanished without a trace.

Instead, a smile appeared.

A gentle smile, just like when she was a child, as she wholeheartedly took care of her younger sister.

At this moment, perhaps only twins can truly understand?

To understand the profound emotions and meaning contained within such a short sentence.

So Ram simply reached out, gently patted Rem's head, and whispered something.

"What a troublesome child..."

Upon hearing this, Rem not only did not stop crying, but instead seemed to release all the emotions she had been holding back, and continued to sob.

Throughout this process, Ram simply kept stroking Rem's head.

Her expression remained as gentle as ever.

"What?"

In the study on the top floor of the Roswaal Mansion, Fang Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Roswaal sitting behind his desk.

"You want me to deal with the village Curse Arts?"

"That's right." Roswaal smiled happily and said, "I should thank you for Rem's matter, so I will listen carefully to your requests later."

"However, it's now clear that the Curse Arts who murdered Rem is in a village not far from here." Roswaal shrugged and said, "If this continues, there is a high chance that more victims will be killed in the village, and we will no longer be able to go to the village for supplies without being able to find out the identity of our enemy. Most importantly, we don't know when we will be cursed again. So, solving this problem is urgent."

"And then?" Fang Li remained completely unaffected, simply stating, "That doesn't seem to be a problem I should be responsible for solving, does it?"

Fang Li in this mansion is, at most, solely to deal with the Witch Cult.

As for the compensation, food, clothing, and lodging, along with the fact that Emilia was rescued in the Royal Capital, all of that has already been taken care of.

In that case, Fang Li has no obligation to do this.

"But is this really a good idea?" Roswaal said with a smile, "Perhaps that Curse Arts is a member of the Witch Cult?"

"However, that Curse Arts could also be someone completely unrelated to the Witch Cult," Fang Li said casually. "Rather than the Witch Cult, I'm more inclined to believe that this person, like the previous ' Gut Slicer,' is here to hinder Emilia's Royal Selection."

That's undeniable.

If that's the case, then Fang Li has no reason to act.

"Roswaal." Emilia had been listening to their conversation, stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Why don't you let me go to the village with Puck?"

"No way!" Roswaal refused without hesitation, shaking his head and saying, "They're after Emilia, you know? How could we let you into the village?"

That's practically like walking into a trap.

In addition to the issue of the Witch Cult, Emilia absolutely cannot leave the mansion.
