Rem's Guilt Toward Ram, Kurumi Tokisaki's Arrival
The soft sunlight cast golden Crest of Light through the forest, creating layers of light and shadow that formed a unique landscape on the ground.
Nestled deep in the woods, a luxurious Western-style manor with courtyards, fountains, and lavish gardens inevitably evokes the wealth of its owner.
Deeper still, however, lies the power that this land represents.
The only odd thing was that this luxurious manor was only managed by two maids.
This is rather puzzling.
"Rem, are the guests arriving?"
She's about 1.5 meters tall, with big pink eyes and peach-pink lips, and her features are not very defined, making her look quite cute.
Although she has a short bob that reaches her neck, the parting line is different, with her bangs covering her Left Eye.
Far from giving off a gloomy vibe, her wine-red eyes, combined with her rosy complexion, create a unique charm, like a rose.
She wore a black apron and a white hat. The maid outfit had been specially modified to reveal the girl's slender shoulders, and the short skirt Perfect World showcased her curves.
If you're a fan of the "Dragon King Faction, you'd probably think you've seen a " Deity."
And she is Rem's older sister, considered by many to be the strongest genius of the Oni Race, whose full potential, if she possessed a complete horn, would rival that of Sword Saint.
Even if he is not as good as the Sword Saint, he will still become one of the strongest in this world.
With her wine-red eyes looking at the girl beside her who was almost identical to her except that her pupils and hair color had changed to blue, Ram spoke in a less than calm tone.
Yes, she couldn't stay calm.
Ram once held onto hope that someone could heal her horns, but reality told her that there was no possibility of her being healed.
She's like a sieve now; no matter how much she tries to fill the Mana, it's always a drop in the ocean, and she can only rely on others to survive in this world.
Having lost her horn, she lost her powerful talent and the possibility of growth; even without Roswaal's help to replenish her Mana, her life would not have been long enough for her to live.
Ram doesn't care about her own death, but if she could, she would certainly want to continue living, after all, there are still people in this world she cares about.
Rem, and her master Roswaal.
Having lived here for so long, Ram has long since stopped thinking about the corner; for her, her current life is already good enough.
Until recently, Rem told her that she had found someone who could fix her horns.
At first, Ram didn't believe it; in fact, she was extremely angry and Rage.
She believes Rem has been deceived.
Moreover, the person who deceived Rem is definitely not an ordinary person.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know about the problem with their own angle.
Suppressing her Rage, Ram asked Rem who told her that she could heal her horns.
In that instant, Ram thought of many answers.
Nobles, merchants, and even Witch Cult.
But Rem gave her an unexpected answer, one she had never even considered.
"People from other worlds".
People from Otherworld?
Ram's negative emotions vanished in an instant, and her expression as she looked at Rem became somewhat strange.
She seemed to be wondering which book she had read the story in, and even fantasizing about it.
Putting aside whether people from other worlds truly exist, even if they do, why didn't others encounter them, Rem did?
This is far too much of a coincidence.
However, Ram didn't show it at the time. Instead, after talking to Rem, she told Roswaal about it.
Roswaal had initially only shown some interest, but after reading the book, an expression of Roswaal appeared on his face.
Something extraordinary seems to have happened in that book.
Afterwards, Rem even invited people from the Otherworld to visit her mansion.
Ram wasn't sure what Roswaal had read in the book that caused such a drastic change in his attitude, but she could easily tell that what Rem said seemed to be true.
So, is it really possible that her horns can be restored?
Even Ram couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement upon thinking about this.
If, if her horn could be restored, then she wouldn't have to worry about Mana and the loss of her life force, and she could stay by Rem and Roswaal's side forever.
She also believed that, having regained her horns, she could quickly grow strong enough to protect Rem and Roswaal.
"Yes, they're almost here."
Rem nodded, keeping a close eye on the messages in the Chat Group, her own emotions running high.
She always believed that her sister's horn broke because of her, and that if it weren't for protecting her, her sister would have been able to protect herself with her strength.
What she felt most guilty about was that, at the moment her sister Ram's horn broke, her first reaction wasn't pain or sadness, but relief.
Yes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to her outstanding older sister Ram, she has always been too mediocre. Even though Ram treats her very well, she still can't help but feel jealous of Ram.
So when Ram's horn broke, her first thought wasn't sadness or pain, but relief, and she even showed a smile that she herself found unbelievable.
That's utterly despicable!
No one felt more ashamed of themselves at that moment Rem.
How could I possibly have such a thought!
She felt she had betrayed her relationship with her sister Ram, and hated herself for being so despicable. Even after so much time had passed, Ram's horn remained a source of unresolved guilt and remorse for her.
Fortunately, there is now finally a chance to make amends.
But before Ram could finish speaking, a hand was placed on her head, and before she could react, a massive amount of Magic Power suppressed her, rendering her unable to move!
Ram nodded upon hearing Rem's words, and was about to say something when he felt a warm sensation on his head.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ram jerked her body backward, then looked in surprise in the direction from which the warmth had appeared, where a smiling girl stood.
Her long black hair was tied into two braids, which fell naturally over her shoulders. Her slender waist swayed in the wind, as if it could be wrapped by one hand. Her waterfall-like bangs covered her Left Eye, but this did not diminish her charm in the slightest.
He lightly touched his cherry blossom-petal-like lips with his index finger, while his wine-red right eye watched her and Rem with interest.
"Although they are not exactly the same as Kaguya and Yuzuru except for their personalities, the difference in their hair color makes them even more Captivate."
"No wonder the group admin likes you so much."
Kurumi Tokisaki chuckled and nodded, then gave the two of them an elegant bow.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Kurumi Tokisaki."
Rem and Ram returned the greeting respectfully.
Regardless of the circumstances, proper etiquette must never be neglected.
