I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

He stood there watching the girl's retreating figure, not noticing the tears welling up in his eyes and the glistening on his face. His mouth was open, but he couldn't think of the words to call her back.

He then noticed the flickering light on her forehead and finally sighed heavily.

Let her cry for a while; she'll feel much better once she's cried it out!

He took a few steps forward and came to the side of the body.

I'm not sure if it can still be considered a corpse, because only the head is intact.

Those upturned triangular eyes, which were originally somewhat fierce, were now filled with fear and disbelief.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful! But if it's little Rem, then you're just unlucky!"

An Shu muttered to herself, her tone filled with deep helplessness.

He looked up, sighed again, and noticed the iron ball at his feet, its spikes looking particularly sinister in the moonlight!

###Chapter 144 Devil May Cry###

(Is this okay?)

Looking at the unharmed Natsuki Subaru in front of him, An Shu nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, even the aura of the Witch of Jealousy dissipated!

An Shu could easily revive a character who shouldn't have died so early because of his own meddling.

Besides, this guy was never going to die anyway. If I resurrect him now, the will of the world will cooperate with me!

"All we need to do now is fabricate a false memory, right?"

This is even simpler; it can be solved with a wave of the hand.

However, a new problem has arisen...

What about the others?

Remlin traveled with them, not in separate groups, so they must be in the vicinity as well?

With her eyes closed, An Shu sensed her surroundings.

"How did this girl run so far away in such a short time?" An Shu said to herself, both amused and exasperated.

Another flash, but instead of heading deep into the forest to find Rem, it came to the official road.

The long road stretches to the horizon, seemingly without end at first glance.

Official roads, the main roads of the government, are never short of all sorts of travelers.

The dragon-drawn carriages remained frozen in place, their speeding motion unchanged, while the pedestrians chatted and laughed, their expressions and demeanor remaining the same as if time had stood still.

If an ordinary person who doesn't know the truth comes here and sees this for the first time, they will probably be amazed.

I was amazed by the lifelike stone carvings here.

The only drawback was the silence; it was so quiet that it felt as if the air would come alive again at any moment, and the statue would speak. Upon reflection, a chill ran down my spine.

An Shu didn't pay attention and walked down from mid-air to a rather luxurious dragon carriage.

"Did this girl deliberately bring Miss Frederica's chosen dragon carriage? It can only seat two people."

"I don't know how she convinced everyone to let Natsuki Subaru ride in the car she was driving."

It's no use talking about these details now, and An Shu doesn't want to delve into them. He's still thinking about that crying figure in the woods!

Raising her hand and reaching behind the blonde maid, An Shu lifted the curtain that was meant to shield her from the wind and dust.

"That was expected. It's good that you, Roswaal, knew what was good for you and didn't lay a hand on my little Rem, otherwise I would have hung you up at the city gate!"

As mentioned earlier, everyone's expressions are still frozen in that moment when time stood still.

Before them, Emilia closed her eyes to rest, while Frederica, driving the car, pouted slightly, seemingly humming a little tune.

Only Roswaal stroked his chin, head bowed in thought, a strange look in his two-colored eyes.

The cat had fallen asleep, so he was the only one who noticed something was wrong!

An Shu waved her hand again, and the surrounding specks of blue light suddenly gathered, forming a small blue storm that took the dragon carriage and them away from the spot.

"I just sent Natsuki Subaru back, and the details have been repaired. I also didn't forget the otaku loli from the Forbidden Library, so I modified her memories as well."

The time shouldn't be rewound anytime soon. According to the memories I just implanted in them, Rem should already be home, and they should have finished getting to know each other and be getting ready for bed.

"Roswaal might notice something's wrong, but that's okay."

"Just now, I also dealt with the warlock who controlled the magical beast in the village of Roswaal's territory. Since she's a loli, let her be a loli!"

"As for the plot to come, it's already a mess anyway, so it doesn't matter if it gets a little more chaotic."

"Natsuki Subaru should be quiet for a while now, so I can live my daily life in peace and wait for the Royal Selection arc to begin."

An Shu continued talking to himself, analyzing what loopholes might remain in the cleaned-up mess, and finally stopped thinking about it, figuring it should be fine now!

Shaking her hand, which was stiff from resting her chin on her hand, An Shu shook her head. "Cute little Rem!"

With a snap of his fingers, he vanished from the spot.

And the wind started to blow!

The bustling crowds returned, and the sounds of footsteps pounding the ground, people talking, and dust billowing up never ceased!

……

"Ha ha……"

She covered her face and squatted on the ground, trying to force herself to laugh.

Because the tears could no longer be concealed.

Like the torrents of a dam in June, it breached the last dam of the eyes.

Tears mingled with blood and streamed down his cheeks.

Biting her lower lip, a sweet taste suddenly filled her mouth—yes, this was her own blood!

huh-huh-

The wind, which had picked up again, was biting in the forest, and the girl curled up.

"So Rem was redundant from the start?"

"They shouldn't have been born in the first place!"

"If it weren't for my older sister, this wouldn't have happened!"

"That crazy look must have scared its owner, right?"

"People like that should just die."

With no one to confide in, she could only murmur softly, feeling as if the whole world had abandoned her.

"You should just give up on yourself! Isn't that the obvious thing to do? Heh."

The laughter was tinged with bitterness, and Rem suddenly felt lost, unsure whether her actions were right or wrong.

They're clearly from the Witch Cult! The stench is so strong, it's nauseating!

"Can Rem ever go back? How can she face her master... looking so pathetic..."

"Sister..." She curled up even tighter, whether from the cold after sweating from strenuous exercise or from loneliness, it was hard to tell.

But what does it matter? Aren't they all the same?

"Master...I love you so much..."

She couldn't help but recall every little detail of the past five years, from the fear she felt when they first met to the irrepressible love she later developed.

She remembered the first time she clumsily broke a porcelain bowl and was gently comforted by her master; the first time she approached her master at the urging of her older sister, Weizhi, and two others; she remembered how her master would always secretly take advantage of her while they shared a bed...

And then there was the time he took me out to play in the morning, to watch the absurd duel between the Sword Saint and Roswaal... and that time he hugged me in public...

The pangs of sorrow grew stronger, and sitting on the ground, her frail figure looked so helpless.

"So it really is impossible to go back."

Seemingly having given up, she stopped hiding her tears and burst into sobs.

"Hey, why can't we go back? My cute little Rem, why are you crying here? Who bullied you? Tell your master, and I'll stand up for you!"

###Why in Chapter 145###

A gentle voice came from behind, which, if described in detail, could be likened to a charcoal fire used for warmth on a cold winter day.

These are not exaggerated in Rem's eyes!

She felt herself being hugged and froze, momentarily forgetting even to cry.

"Good girl~"

An Shu rested his chin on her head, hugged her tightly, and gently comforted her. He was quite good at coaxing girls!

However, these skills are not innate, but rather developed through training!

After all, those three at home are always acting cute and rolling around, and they won't get up unless you coax them for a while.

So, it really is because I lack authority?

"Owner……"

Rem uttered the word with trembling, finally realizing what she had said. She hurriedly wiped her face and tried to stand up and run away.

An Shu, of course, wouldn't let her have her way. She hugged her even tighter, breathed into her ear, and pretended to be sad, "Does Remlin dislike her master? No wonder Remlin didn't want to go back just now..."

"No! No!" she shouted without thinking.

"Then why would you want to run away?" An Shu chuckled, letting go of one hand and turning over her pockets.

"Dirty... Rem is so dirty..."

"Really?" An Shu asked, sounding puzzled. She took out a handkerchief, used magic to gather a few water droplets, dampened it, and carefully wiped her face.

Whether it was the quality of the handkerchief or the water itself, after wiping her face a few times, the bloodstains were gone, and a faint fragrance replaced the fishy smell.
