So, I took out the badge and threw it directly at Emilia.

"Eh?!"

Emilia cried out in surprise and caught the badge with a panicked expression.

Felt was also panicking. “Hey, little brother, are you just going to return it like that? You’re not even going to struggle? That’s the badge you paid so much for from me, you know?”

"I bought the badge to give it back to her."

"Huh? Why would you do such a thing? It seems like she doesn't even know you?"

"Indeed, I don't know you." Emilia put the badge away and looked at me puzzledly: "What do you mean by buying it? Aren't you guys in the same group?"

"No," I said honestly, "I knew you lost the badge, so I came here ahead of Felt's employer and bought it, just to return it to you."

"why?"

"Because you are beautiful."

"what!?"

Emilia was stunned and confused, and Felt couldn't help but put her hand on my forehead.

"Are you okay, little brother?"

"Why are you so surprised? What's wrong with this reason? If she wasn't so beautiful, who would have nothing better to do than do something so useless?"

"Brother, she is a half-elf, a silver-haired half-elf."

"So, just because you're a silver-haired half-elf doesn't mean you're not pretty?"

"Well, Leah, although it's unbelievable, what he said is true."

A cute little kitten suddenly appeared next to Emilia, and he flew to my side, amazed.

"This is the first time I've seen such a strange human like you."

"That's because you haven't seen much. People like this are everywhere in my hometown."

"I'm really curious about what kind of hometown could raise someone like you."

"If you're interested, I'll take you there later."

"Even if you try to please me, I won't give my daughter to a man like you. You're too dangerous, and you look so fickle. There's no sense of security at all."

"A man who can make a woman feel safe doesn't necessarily have any outstanding qualities. From this perspective, I want to thank you for the compliment."

While saying this, I finally stood up from the chair.

"Come on, Emilia, take me to Roswaal's mansion."

"Huh? Huh? Wait, why did the conversation suddenly develop to this point? And how did you know my name? And how did you know I lived in Roswaal's mansion?"

Emilia's face was already in a state of confusion.

I understand her confusion, but

"It would be too troublesome to explain in detail, so I'll keep it brief. In short, Roswaal had the Gut Hunter steal your badge so that you and I could meet and bring me, your life-saver, back to the mansion. He's waiting for me now, full of anticipation. If I don't go, he'll despair. I'm so kind, I certainly can't bear to see him despair, so I'll allow you to take me to the mansion."

"No, what on earth did you say?! I'm getting more and more confused!!!"

Volume 8: Chapter Ram

Even if I took the dragon carriage, it would take about six hours to get from the capital to Roswaal's mansion, which means I would be extremely bored for six hours.

That's right, after all the chaos, Emilia decided to take me back to Roswaal's mansion.

After all, I said so much information, Emilia must want to take me back to question Roswaal.

Yes, that means I can make the best use of these six hours to copy Emilia, and I can also copy Ram at the same time.

That's right, Emilia came to the capital with Ram, and Ram is driving now.

"Subaru, what exactly did you mean by that? Was it really Roswaal who had my badge stolen? Why would he do such a thing?"

Hearing Emilia's question, which she couldn't hold back, the first person to answer was not me, but Ram who was driving the car.

"Lady Emilia, you asked me to bring him back to the mansion just because of this man's nonsense? How ridiculous."

I paid no attention to Ram's rude and sarcastic tone. I simply said, "Didn't I tell you the reason before? Roswaal wanted me to rescue you so that you could take him back to the mansion. Without me, you would have died in the capital."

"Why can you be so sure about this?"

"Because I know the future. Roswaal knows the future, so he did this to achieve his own goal, to get me to help you and him. And I know the future too, so I'm going back to the mansion with you. After all, I don't really care if Roswaal will despair if I don't go, but... the fact that Rem will die if I don't go is something I can't accept."

"Peng!!!!"

The door of the dragon carriage flew open in an instant, and Ram was in front of me in the blink of an eye. She grabbed my collar and said with a fierce look: "What did you just say? Rem will die? What are you going to do to Rem?!"

I lowered my gaze to Ram. "The question isn't what I want to do to Rem, but whether I want to save her. If I don't go to the mansion, Rem will die. This is the future."

"Do you think Ram would believe that?!"

"I say, Ram, what makes you so naive to think that Rem's life has any weight in Roswaal's plan?"

Ram's pupils dilated and his face froze for a moment.

"Rem's value lies in being your antagonist. Because you hold weight in Roswaal's plan, Rem also holds a corresponding weight. But that's all. Even without Rem, there will be other ways for you to unleash your true power in the future. Rem is not necessary."

I raised my hand and pinched Ram's chin, looking into her eyes.

"Roswaal won't save Rem. He'll only push her into danger and ask me to save her, hoping to get me into his plan and gain my help... I have no interest in helping Roswaal, but I can't watch Rem die like that."

"...Do you think Ram will believe you and doubt Roswaal-sama? Trying to alienate Ram from his loyalty to Roswaal-sama is sheer wishful thinking."

"You saying that means I've succeeded in sowing discord. After all... there's no reason for you, who knows Roswaal well, to think he's more trustworthy than me, right?"

I struck a critical hit with one word.

"I'm truly a stranger to you, so my credibility is probably around 50% or even 10%. But is Roswaal's credibility really even 1% in your eyes? You may be loyal to him, but... do you trust him?"

Ram bit his lips until they bled, and the look in his eyes as he looked at me was almost murderous.

This shows that I really won with one strike.

Indeed, I don't know if Ram has any serious illness, but she is indeed in love with Roswaal. This feeling is not fake. However... if Ram hadn't forgotten Rem due to gluttony, her love for Roswaal would not have surpassed her feelings for Rem.

As long as it's for Rem, she can abandon Roswaal without hesitation.

In the Pride line, because of Rem's death, Ram's heart is completely empty, and she is no different from a puppet. In the Wrath line, Ram directly throws Roswaal's existence to the horizon because of Rem's death. It can be seen that Roswaal is nothing but trash in front of Rem.

Only after losing the memory of Rem, Roswaal's existence will take advantage of the opportunity to fill the huge gap in Ram's heart caused by the loss of Rem.

This is just like in the Pride line, when Phyllis lost Crusch, her whole heart became completely empty, because Crusch was the meaning of Phyllis's existence. Once she forgot Crusch, she would be completely broken.

Because of this, after Subaru of the Pride line took advantage of the opportunity and replaced Crusch in Phyllis's heart, Phyllis was willing to do anything for Subaru, even killing her best friend.

Ram's situation is a little special. In her heart, Rem's existence occupies 90%, or even 99%, so once Rem dies, she will also be broken directly - but Roswaal also has a 1% place in Ram's heart.

In this case, if Rem is not dead, but Ram has completely forgotten Rem due to gluttony, then Roswaal's existence will quickly fill all the gaps in Ram's heart, thereby preventing her heart from collapsing like Phyllis.

In other words... yes, in other words, Ram now doesn't like Roswaal as much as she did in the later part of the original story, at least she definitely doesn't like Roswaal as much as Rem likes Subaru, so it's easy to use Rem to alienate her and Roswaal.

Of course, our proud elder sister herself would never admit it.

So she just loosened my collar, rudely pushed away my hand that was pinching her chin, and snorted coldly: "You can't be trusted. Rem will be protected by Ram herself."

The fact that you're willing to protect Rem doesn't that mean you trust me?

I couldn't help but secretly complain.

Of course, there was no need to provoke Ram by saying such things.

"Speaking of which, Onee-sama, please hurry back and drive the car. It looks like it's about to fly off to who knows where."

Volume 9: Chapter : Heaps of Bullets

By the time they arrived at Roswaal's mansion after six hours, the copies of Emilia and Ram had already been completed.

To be honest, these six hours were very boring and I kind of regret it.

If I came by myself, I could have used Erina and Hisako to help me pass the time, but Emilia was in the car and Ram was still driving, so obviously I couldn't summon them out to kill time.

After all, I have to have some dignity.

So, I spent a very boring six hours.

Although I was able to chat with Emilia, we talked about everything in six hours.

Fortunately, we finally arrived.

"Welcome back, Lady Emilia, Sister, and... who is this guest?"

Rem greeted us.

If true love had a color, it would be blue.

I looked at Rem, feeling deeply moved—and immediately began copying.

Well, I want a Rem of my own.

It's too troublesome to get a little strategy, so just cheat and get it.

And since Ram has already been copied, there is no reason not to copy Rem.

Ram and Rem can't be separated!!

"My name is Natsuki Subaru, and I'm a distinguished guest."

"No guest would call himself noble, right?"

"Rem, be careful of this man. Just by looking at Rem, you can't tell how many times he has defiled her in his mind."

"He is indeed a filthy man. Onee-sama must have been insulted countless times by him in her mind."

"You underestimate me. Of course, both of you are in my fantasy. Don't even think about escaping."

Doesn't this conversation feel a bit like déjà vu?

Well, I am Natsuki Subaru in this world, so it’s normal to experience similar stories.

"Where's Roswaal?"

"I'm sorry, sir, Lord Roswaal is out and not at home."

"It's okay, then let's wait for him to come back. Please arrange a room for me."

Rem looked at Ram in confusion, then looked at Emilia: "Lady Emilia, who is this guest?"

"Well... Subaru said he saved my life, and he also helped me get my lost badge back, so he should be considered my benefactor."

"?"

After hearing the explanation, Rem only felt more confused.

"Alright, Rem, I'll explain things to you later. Now let's arrange a room for the guest. I have a lot to ask Master Roswaal when he returns."

“Onee-sama…?”

Rem looked at Ram in surprise. This was the first time she had seen Ram's attitude towards Lord Roswaal. What on earth had happened?

Rem was surprised, but Ram didn't care.

Ram herself was willing to sacrifice her life for Lord Roswaal, but... Ram could never allow her sister, Rem, to be abandoned.

She didn't know whether what Natsuki Subaru said was true or not, but... there was indeed such a possibility.

Ram knew this.

As soon as she thought of this, uncontrollable anger and murderous intent surged in her heart.

Ram closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

If this was really just a divisive remark, then Ram would admit that Natsuki Subaru was a very smart man. He accurately found the only weakness and flaw of Ram, the most perfect person in the world.

Even if it was Lord Roswaal, if he dared to abandon Rem as a pawn...

On the way to the guest room with Rem, I had already copied Rem.

Ram's copying takes an hour, just like Emilia's, but Rem only needs six minutes. The difference is ten times, Rem. This is the difference between the elder sister and the younger sister!

I am deeply saddened.

But it’s okay, Rem. I promise I love you more than onee-sama.
