Chapter 6: New place
"Shit." Subaru said before he fell
"Subaru!" Both Reinhard and Emilia yelled
'Man... Don't tell me I'm going to die again.' Subaru thought before everything went black
*******************************************************************************
"There. His treatment is complete." Emilia said
"I'm glad that he's all right. What shall we do with him? i would be glad to take him home as a guest." Reinhard said
"No, I'll take him home with me. That way i can thank him for what he has done. But more importantly, what will become of that girl and the old man?" Emilia asked
"Officially, i cannot overlook what they've done. But... Unfortunately, I'm off duty today." Reinhard said with a small smile
"You're a bad knight." Emilia said while giggling. She then approached Felt who now looked down
"Are you two family?" Emilia asked
"Something like that. Old Man Rom is the only one i have... I guess he's like my grandpa." Felt said witch mad the old man vere happy to hear
"I see. i only have one family member, too. But he's always asleep at the most important moments." Emilia said
"I thought you'd be a lot harsher to me. I'm sorry. you helped save my life, and i can;t let a debt go unpaid. I'll return what i stole. if it's important, keep it hidden so no one can steal it again!" Felt said while getting something out of her pocket
"It feels funny, having you give me that warning." Emilia said. Reinhard than reacted and grabbed felt's hand when he saw the insignia in her hand glow
"Reinhard?" Emilia asked
"You're hurting me! Let go!" Felt yelled
"Huh? It's Felt..." Felt replied
"And your family name? How old are you?" Reinhard added
"I don't have anything fancy like a family name! I'm... about fifteen, i think. I don't know my birthday. Look, just let me go!" Felt yelled while trying to break free from Reinhard's grip
"Hey let Felt go!" Old Man Rom said
"I'm vere sorry but i can't, your Flet's grandfather right." Reinhard asked
"I am." Old man Rom said
"Than you can come with me too, i promise on the name of the sword saint the Felt will not be harmed an any way shape or form." Reinhard said
"Tsk. Fine" Old Man Rom said
"Lady Emilia. i am afraid i cannot keep my promise to you. I shall be taking this girl and her grandfather with me." Reinhard said
"May i ask why? if it's for stealing my insignia..." Emilia uttered
"That is, indeed, no small crime. But compared to the gravity of overlooking the crime unfolding before me, it's trivial. I need the two of you to come with me. I'm sorry but i cannot allow you to refuse." Reinhard said
"Tsk. Fine but I'm only going with you cause Old Man Rom is coming." Felt said
"We shall be taking our leave, lady Emilia. I hope you understand. And please give this to Subaru when he wakes up, and take good care of him." Reinhard said as he gave Emilia a mirror
*************************************************************************************
We now see Subaru waking up in a room and staring at the ceiling
"I don't know this ceiling." Subaru uttered. He than sat up and started to look around him, he sees he's in a big room with some modern looking furniture around him.
"The wound on my side is gone... Must be Emilia's healing power." Subaru said as he got up from the bed and went out of his room sees a long hallway and some paintings on the wall
"Well, at any rate, it seems i got out of using Return by Death this time..." Subaru said while walking in the hallway. he noticed while walking, he saw the same painting again from when he came out from his room
"A looping hallway... One of those things where i can't leave until i find the right room? Then let's go with the first door." Subaru said, as he opens the door without hesitation and sees a little girl with long cream-colored hair that she has tied in two drills along with blue eyes that have a butterfly pattern at the center. She wears a frilled dress with pink ribbons, tights, and shoes. A tiny crown lays latched upon the rear right side of her hair, with a butterfly-shaped ribbon joining her cap at her sternum
"What a profoundly aggravating man you are, i suppose." The girl said
"First person found. With that cold attitude, you're gonna ruin your cute face. Come on, smile." Subaru said as he smiled
"A derisive sneer is the only smile worth giving you." The girl said
"Are you mad because i guessed witch door to go on the first try? I've always been a pretty lucky guesser... So, what is this place, anyways?" Subaru asked
"Hmph, it's Betty's multi-purpose room, both library, and room, i suppose
"I see well thanks for telling about this, oh before i forget my name is Subaru. Well now that's done I'll be leaving." Subaru said as he started to walk back through the door
"Wait" The girl said as she started to walk towards Subaru
"Hm, What is it?" Subaru asked
"Don't move." The girl said
"Ok?" Subaru said
The girl touches Subaru's stomach and suddenly he fell down unable to move
"What did you do to me?" Subaru said while trying to stay awake
"I only collected the mana from your body, i suppose. It confirmed that you are not the enemy." The girl replied
"You could have told me before hand." Subaru said as his vision went black. we see Subaru wake up once again in same room
"I know that ceiling." Subaru said
"Oh, he has awakened, Sister." One girl said
"Indeed, he has awakened, rem." Another girl said
Subaru turned he his head to the two voices
'Who?' Subaru thought
