Of course, it was impossible to tell from this brief reply whether Goblin Slayer was satisfied with this.

However, in reality, Goblin Slayer was quite satisfied with Subaru's statement.

The mediocrity of his talent had been fully proven in his original world. The combat power he gained from several years of training at an intensity that was more than 10 times more brutal than the current training that made Subaru scream in pain was just recognized as "not strong enough" among other adventurers of the same level.

In his original world, Goblin Slayer didn't even have spell adaptation. He couldn't learn any spells, so when he learned that he could learn spells in this world and there were many optional attributes, Goblin Slayer just felt that this was a blessing.

——The tactics for killing goblins can be updated again.

Spearman: This guy is still thinking about goblins at this time. His brain is really hopeless.

Cashier: Hahaha~...Although, um, this is Mr. Goblin Slayer~

Haruhiro: Goblins...are very formidable opponents.

Anne Emmett: Goblins are very powerful!

Nanyun Hajime: Goblins are very powerful monsters... Which world line are you in?

After the writing training, which was a torturous time, was over, Natsuki Subaru staggered towards the mansion.

It was almost evening now and he still had the work of preparing dinner to do.

Although he also felt that it was inhumane for him to prepare dinner in this state, this was work and this was life.

Working just to make a living is always helpless - Subaru, who experienced this too early, swallowed his bitter tears.

However, before Natsuki Subaru could complain to Ram and Rem who were already preparing in the kitchen, Ram walked over with an expressionless face, grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him out of the room.

[It stinks~. Barus, go take a shower! Don’t come over here until you’ve finished your shower! ]

With a snap, the kitchen door closed.

Natsuki Subaru, who was thrown out of the door, sat there and looked around. After confirming the current situation, Natsuki Subaru lowered his head like an abandoned puppy and moved towards the servants' bathroom.

——At the same time, an hour later, Roswaal, who had fainted in the bathtub in the luxurious and spacious host's house, decided to create another opportunity to contact Natsuki Subaru.

Time soon came to the evening, and Subaru dragged his tired body to and from Padu's room like yesterday. After the alumni gathering, it was time for Ram to teach the different world characters - it was supposed to be like this.

But for some reason, the teaching staff tonight changed from Ram to Rem.

Looking at the sweet and lovely maid beside him, whose figure was much better than that of his sister, Subaru felt nervous and his mouth uncontrollably secreted a lot of saliva.

Gudu~

[Does Rem's existence make you so nervous? 】

「Ah~, I think you have to understand Rem, a young man and a woman sleeping in the same bed at night is still too exciting for a pure boy who has been single for as long as his age~」

[So... Subaru-kun, did you say the same thing to Onee-sama? ]

[No! I have infinite respect for Onee-sama Ram! ]

【very good! 】

Sensing some kind of danger from Rem's low voice, Subaru sat up straight, and Rem nodded in agreement, making him feel that he had escaped a disaster.

[Speaking of which, where is Subaru from? Subaru speaks very logically, and doesn't look like someone who doesn't know the common language, but in fact, not only you, but everyone else doesn't know the common language either.]

[I just come from an ordinary family. I encountered some problems in my hometown, so I went out to prove myself. As for the others, they are either just children or weirdos with goblins in their heads. On the other hand, I think it is strange that Rem can read and write the common language at such a young age. It's amazing~]

[If you don't reach this level, you won't have the chance to become a maid in a noble family. ]

Rem didn’t seem to doubt Subaru’s words.

[However, Subaru is very smart and learns very quickly. ]

[Of course! After all, I am also——]

【Too?】

【Too……】

Natsuki Subaru was sweating profusely.

Oops, I blurted out something!

[He is also a problem child that can make his parents seriously worried! 】

[…I don’t think this is something to be proud of.]

[Yes, you are right! ]

Natsuki Subaru lowered his head and said in a funny way. Rem was amused and smiled softly.

In the dim light of the candle, Rem's skin, which was white to the point of being almost transparent, exuded an amazing charm in the darkness.

Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but think: Ah~, what an incredibly beautiful girl~!

At the same time, one can't help but feel it's a pity - such a beautiful girl is a ruthless character who can kill without hesitation when she feels someone is a threat!

This damn different world!

[What's wrong, Subaru-kun? Why do you look so grim all of a sudden?]

[Well, I just feel that the reason why I’m being praised for my learning speed is actually because of the things I hated in the past, so I can’t help but feel a little emotional…]

This is not only talking about the events that happened in the previous rounds, but also about the reason why Subaru chose not to go to school.

[What kind of thing is that? ]

[What kind of thing is this... Rem is curious about? ]

[Well, Rem is curious. ]

[Emmmm, okay! Since Rem is curious, I'll tell you! ]

Subaru had no idea why the topic had been brought up here, but in the candlelight, which was perfect for storytelling, Natsuki Subaru briefly explained his inner feelings to the girl who had once wanted to kill him.

171

Chapter 171: Like a ghost helping.

[Rem really admires your sister, right? I don't know why though.]

[Yes! Rem admires Onee-sama very much! There is no woman in the world more perfect than Onee-sama! ]

[This is a really terrible misunderstanding——Emilia is the most perfect woman in the world, this point cannot be shaken! ]

[No! It's my elder sister! The reason why I made such a judgment is that Subaru-kun has not yet fully understood how excellent my elder sister is. But this is not difficult. The main thing is that Subaru-kun will definitely change his wrong ideas as he spends more time with my elder sister! ]

[You are really confident~]

Subaru finally understood that it would be a waste of time to continue arguing with Rem.

That useless maid with a sharp tongue, a flat figure, and who is not good at cooking, sewing, gardening, washing, or accounting, is the best in the world in her sister's eyes!

I don’t know how many invisible filters are added in front of Rem’s cornea.

[Subaru-kun, you and Emilia-sama have known each other for a short time, right? Why do you care about her so much? Rem really doesn't understand.]

[Don't you understand? What the hell? You've known Emilia-tan longer than I have? Ahhhhh~, what a waste! ]

[…Rem just doesn’t understand this. ]

Objectively speaking, the extraordinary past of the Rem sisters allows them to have a more objective view of worldly affairs. However, when she heard that the master they were about to serve was a silver-haired half-elf, Rem couldn't help feeling disgusted.

Indeed, after spending some time together, Rem discovered that this silver-haired half-elf, who once made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart, was actually a simple-minded, kind-hearted, positive and vulnerable child.

But there are so many kind and innocent children, and Emilia is nothing special in Rem's eyes.

However, if her perception is changed to Subaru's perspective, things will be very different.

[Listen to me, Rem: People are selfish! They say whatever they want to say, and hurt others for their own ideas without any care. This is not wrong, because people are like this. They are full of ugly desires, but they still promote empty kindness in order to integrate into society and the collective.]

[Lovely Milia Tan is different! Right? That girl would even hurt herself for someone she just met for the first time. Innocent, kind... In the past, I would have used such words to describe someone, which must have meant ill will towards that person. Lovely Milia is like a collection of good intentions, a perfect masterpiece of God using his greatest strength to shatter all my past views! ]

[Do you understand my feelings?! ]

[Rem doesn’t understand, she just thinks Subaru is really twisted~]

[You're so long-winded! Ordinary people are like this! Yes, ordinary people are like this... The feelings of ordinary people like us are definitely not that noble, nor that pure. That's why Emilia is precious! ]

[Her every move, her small arrogance to cover up her kindness and shyness, her occasional insincereness, her sincere smile and caring that can touch people's hearts - the day I first met her, I thought: Ah~, if it is for this person, I am willing to die - although this is definitely an exaggeration, but this thought has indeed appeared in my mind. ]

[Rem doesn’t quite understand... This is the first time they meet? ]

[Humans are strange creatures who can be moved by something irrelevant in an inexplicable and unexpected place, and make decisions that affect their lives, and even turn over a new leaf and become a prodigal son - has Rem never had that feeling? ]

[…Yes, I have.]

[Is there really such a thing? Tell me, what is your situation? ]

【This has nothing to do with Subaru-kun. 】

[How cruel~. Seeing your face now, I can believe that you and Ram are indeed twin sisters. ]

[There is no need to look for such moments deliberately. Rem and her elder sister are twin sisters. However, unlike the dark and incompetent Rem, her elder sister is much more dazzling. ]

「You actually said something like that so seriously──」

【stare……】

[Okay, okay, I know you are the number one sister-con. So, let’s end the heart-to-heart talk here? ]

[No, Rem wants to know more about Subaru. ]

[Ahahaha~, are you in love with me? ]

Subaru Natsuki hugged himself tightly with both hands, twisting his upper body and saying: [No, no, my whole heart, body and soul already belong to Emilia-tan~! ]

[Rem still wants to know what the past was like that made Subaru sigh. ]

[Starting from here?! Well, should I say Rem is really hard to fool~]

Subaru actually didn't want to talk about it, because it involved a dark past that he didn't want to mention.

If anyone else sat next to him today, even if it was the sharp-tongued Ram, Subaru would have dared to fool them by laughing it off.

But Rem——

Thinking of the meteor hammer that almost smashed his head in the previous round, Subaru silently obeyed his heart.

[Where should I start——By the way, Rem really admires her sister, right? ]

【Why question something that should be taken for granted? 】

[Okay, I was wrong, but I was just trying to open up the topic.]

Subaru lowered his hands. [I also have a person like this, I admire him——yeah, that’s true.]

[I have admired this man since I was a child and I think he is the most amazing guy in the world... I am proud to be his son, and when I was a child, I had no doubt that I would become a person like him! ]

[…Who is this person? ]

[He is my father~]

Natsuki Subaru: Ahhhhhhh!!! Don’t say it!!! Don’t listen!!! This is not what I said, not what I said, not what I said!!!

Natsuki Kenichi: 486——Dad is very happy~???

Natsuki Subaru:Φ(TДT)Φ!!

[What kind of person is Subaru-kun's father? 】

[My dad is undoubtedly a genius and a winner in life! He has many friends, his colleagues trust him, his superiors respect him, his juniors admire him, his family is happy, and the neighbors around him also praise him - maybe the only stain on his life is that he gave birth to a useless child like me? ]

【——】

Rem didn't know what touched her. She reached out and grabbed Subaru's hand, leaned close to him and said seriously: "Your father will not think you are a useless child!"

【yes--】

Although he was shocked by Rem's reaction, Subaru was immersed in his own memories and did not show his funny side to ease the embarrassment and surprise. [Even after I realized my own weight and unilaterally avoided staying at home, avoiding society and those hard things, that person still treated me with the same attitude as before - this really made me very painful...]

【Rem understands you! 】

Rem stared with her eyes wide open, very serious.

Because of Rem's attitude, Natsuki Subaru just gave up and told everything - after all, he had no face to lose at this point.

[I used to be a very spirited child. Because there was a clear role model in front of me, before I understood the limits of my own abilities, I was always full of passion, just like the protagonist in a novel.]

[I said no to things I didn’t like, actively participated in activities around me, and studied hard. However, I couldn’t continue doing this after a few years.]
