Blessing Day EX: Rem’s Birthday Party

Blessing Day EX: Rem’s Birthday Party

Translator: Remonwater

[Emilia: Hey, Rem, aren’t you hungry yet? I made a reeeeally big rice ball.]

[Puck: Yeah, it’s Lia’s masterpiece. It’s so big that it’ll knock your socks off.]

[Rem: Oh, ohh........thank you, Emilia-sama. But, just those feelings are enough.]

[Emilia: Hey, Rem, aren’t you tired yet? Want a lap pillow?]

[Puck: It can be from me or Lia. Today is a great feast.]

[Rem: Oh, ohh........thank you, Emilia-sama. But, just those feelings are enough.]

[Emilia: Hey, Rem, aren’t your hands lonely yet? Puck, will you let her cuddle you?]

[Puck: Since it’s Lia’s request, okay. Today is a special case when the seal to my chest fluffiness has been unlocked.]

[Rem: Oh, ohh.........thank you, Emilia-sama. Then, just a little.]

When Rem nervously reached out her hand, Puck accepted her fingertips with his chest. Emilia made a fist saying “Good” while she looked at that situation from the side.

All spots of Puck’s fur felt outstanding to touch. However, Emilia knew about the three spots you should pay particular attention to, as she was someone who had always been with Puck.

His ears, tail, and chest hair――these three spots of Puck’s fur were excellent in sense of color and touch. They were the three supreme, deluxe, and best places of his fur.

Nobody could resist their charm. Emilia couldn’t, of course, and Rem also shouldn’t be able to either.

[Puck: Hmmm? Why is even Lia joining in, playing with my tail?]

[Emilia: Eh? I got jealous just from watching, and your tail was open too.......was it not okay?]

[Puck: Nothing was wrong with it. But when you do it suddenly, it’ll surprise me.]

Emilia continues to cuddle Puck while saying sorry to him as he floated in the air, folding his small arms. Rem also unconsciously sighed at that touching.

[Rem: Ahh, I can’t get enough. ......Great Spirit, I can’t believe you’ve been hiding something like this.]

[Puck: It is my prized possession. It’s a secret garden that nobody in the mansion has touched, besides Lia and Betty. Today is special, so don’t tell people about it.]

[Rem: Yes. I’ve been allowed to enjoy it thoroughly.]

Rem also replied politely to Puck’s jokes, being someone who had a very honest personality. Then, she reluctantly took her finger away from Puck’s chest hair and said

[Rem: But, I’m a little.......just a little, just a tiny bit regretful about this spot.]

[Emilia: Eh!? Umm, Rem, you can play with Puck more, you know? This is a rare opportunity, so it’d be a waste.]

[Puck: Putting it as playing with me is a little wrong, but it’s true. It’s a rare event that may or may not happen in 100 years. You can enjoy it.]

[Rem: I appreciate the thought, but I still have work to do after this, and I’m also worried about not preparing dinner in time.]

[Emilia: But wait! I am still full, you know?]

[Rem: Isn’t that because Emilia-sama ate her own big rice ball......]

Emilia responds to Rem’s point by saying “Yea”, feeling on her stomach.

There was no sign of Emilia eating too much on her slender, thin belly, but she personally felt her stomach swelling up quite a bit. Actually, the gigantic rice ball that she made Subaru hold before――she had to eat this armful of food herself, so you could say her having a full stomach was natural.

[Puck: Well, I helped with half. That was a tough opponent.]

[Emilia: Yeah, that’s true. I thought it’d be perfect for confining Rem......]

[Rem: Confining me?]

[Emilia: Ah! Oops!]

Emilia carelessly lets out their objective, and she panics. Emilia became frantic trying to think of a way to trick Rem, who had a doubtful look.

[Emilia: No, Rem. Don’t misunderstand me. I said confine, but I don’t mean it in a dangerous way. I meant it in a more cute and kind......Puck, what should I call it?]

[Puck: Cute and kind confinement, right? Isn’t it just standing in the way?]

[Emilia: Yes, I just thought to stand in your way.]

[Rem: The way you put it sounds cute, but......]

Rem speaks as if the essence of it hadn’t changed, and Emilia hesitates. Afterwards, Emilia looked at Puck with a side glance to seek help.

Puck responds to Emilia’s look by slowly blinking his round eyes, and he said

[Puck: Lia, resignation is the great lesson of human life.]

[Emilia: Puck, you idiot! Also, in your case, it’s not human life!]

[Puck: Resignation is the great lesson of not only human life, but nyan life too.]

[Emilia: What in the world does nyan life mean......]

[Puck: But Lia is clumsy with decorations, planning, and other things like that too. So she didn’t get that work. Instead, she was appointed to confine you.]

[Emilia: Don’t just butt in like that! Also, it’s not confinement!]

[Puck: You were appointed to stand in her way.]

[Rem: You were appointed, I see.]

Rem agrees with Puck’ joking, and Emilia gets shocked from seeing their smiles. Who would’ve thought that Rem and Puck would be mean to her?

On top of that, it was a scene that would’ve been impossible before. Now that she thought about it, she did let them off naturally.

[Rem: .......In other words, whenever you saw me at the main wing or the west wing, you went ahead and did something like bother me.]

[Emilia: Not exactly. In Subaru’s words, it being a “Surprise” was important. So I had the role of casually distracting you so that Rem wouldn’t notice.]

[Rem: Casually......]

[Puck: I understand how you feel, but we’d appreciate it if you don’t say anything.]

Rem accepts Puck’s words, and she looked towards Emilia. Rem smiled wryly at her situation of being in dire stress from not knowing how she’d distract Rem from here on out.

Then, Rem changes her wry smile to just a smile as she said

[Rem: I understand. Emilia-sama, what you said is quite right. Always turning my back on celebrations is inexcusable to Nee-sama and Subaru-kun.]

Then, she pauses once, and continuing with a “Also”, Rem said

[Rem: I think it’s unfair to turn my back on Emilia-sama’s feelings.]

[Emilia: Rem......]

[Rem: How about it, Emilia-sama? Want to have tea together now? You seem very thirsty......it’d kinda be like standing in my way.]

Rem tilts her head with a smile, and she asks Emilia that question. Just from seeing Rem set up the table, Emilia also knew what she wanted to say.

It was her accepting the birthday celebration, as well as the thoughtfulness of letting Emilia also fulfill her duty. Although, she was also embarrassed due to her being spoiled from beginning to end.

[Emilia: Then I’ll at least make the tea. You’ll at least let me do that, right?]

[Rem: I don’t mind it.......but Emilia-sama, is tea your specialty?]

[Puck: It won’t taste anything with the rice ball. That’s how Lia’s natural flavor works.]

He saw an opportunity to come into the conversation, so Puck landed on Emilia’s shoulder just when his role had ended.

He hides in her long, silver hair like that, and he withdrew as he said “My work here is done~”

[Emilia: Jeez, you really are a sloth.]

[Rem: The Great Spirit’s chest hair got me good. So, he did his job.]

Rem soothes Emilia, her being angry, and she supports Puck. Rem was completely on Puck’s side during this small interaction. People could not resist the fur’s charm after all.

That trivial jealousy was put aside and――

[Emilia: It is a secret “Surprise”, but I wonder what kind of preparations Subaru and the others have in store.]

[Rem: I don’t know. It must be things that are far beyond my imagination. But, I hope that Nee-sama and Subaru-kun don’t get injured from being reckless.]

[Emilia: Yeah. Subaru is a good boy, but he is reeeaally reckless.]

[Rem: Is he just a good boy? Subaru-kun, to Emilia-sama.]

While walking side by side in the corridor, Rem said that as she suddenly looked at her with a side glance. In response to Rem’s words, Emilia blinked her big eyes, and she put a finger on her lips.

Rem’s question. What was Subaru to Emilia besides a “good boy”?

He was――

[Emilia: ......A reeeaally good boy?]

[Rem: Emilia-sama is unfair.]

[Emilia: Eehh!? Why!? What’s this all of a sudden!?]

In a flash, Emilia lets out a sigh as well as a complaint, and she gets confused.

Rem leaves Emilia behind, and she walked forward briskly with quick steps.

[Emilia: Ah, hey wait, Rem! Jeez, what is this, and what’s up with you?]

[Rem: I don’t know.]

[――]

They both couldn’t handle the situation, and they both suddenly let out smiles.

Catching up while jogging, Emilia stood with Rem. Rem also slowed down her pace.

Slowly, they laughed for some reason, got surprised, and they started to walk in the corridor while chatting with excitement.

――It didn’t look like a relation between a master and a servant, they looked like fellow, young friends.
