Chapter 20. The Indifferent Rem
[[ "Hey—Ram-chin. I just tried it on, but..."
"That nickname is really annoying. What's wrong with the clothes?" ]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
"Speaking of which, has Miss Ram gotten used to that nickname?"
"It's not so much that I'm used to it, but rather that Barusu might as well call me 'Ram-chin.' Now, besides 'Ram-chin,' he also often calls me 'Big Sister.'"
"Well, isn't having another little brother a good thing?"
Old Man Rom casually said.
"Who wants a little brother like Barusu?"
Ram also casually responded.
[[ "It seems like it doesn't fit well. The problem lies in the shoulders and short legs, right?"
In the image, Ram scrutinized Subaru's shoulders and legs.
"Can't you just say 'the pants are too long'?! The shirt feels fine, but the shoulder area of the jacket is a bit tight. I usually work out when I'm bored, so my upper body is a bit muscular. So, the pants can be rolled up, but the jacket can't be altered. But, I know I can shorten the pants myself."
Subaru helplessly expressed that the clothes didn't fit.
"Putting aside Barusu's surprising talent... no matter what, I can't let you go to work looking like that. People will doubt the mansion... and even Lord Roswaal's taste."
"He's the one who dresses like that. What taste are you talking about?"
Ram was deeply displeased with Subaru's disapproval of Roswaal's attire. ]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
"I really can't say anything bad about that guy—dodge!"
Garfiel said while dodging, as if avoiding an ear pinch.
"Who is 'that guy'? Just Garf."
"Well, it's fine—after all, everyone—says that."
"Garf, hurry up and thank Lord Roswaal for his magnanimity."
Ram snorted, looking at the dodging Garfiel and Roswaal, and gave up on the idea of chasing after him to pinch his ear.
"But Subaru-kun's tailoring skills are really good, it's one of Subaru-kun's countless merits... um."
Rem introduced Subaru's strengths to everyone and then regretted it a bit, covering her mouth.
After all, Subaru-kun is so charming, I can't keep saying things like that; other women will fall in love with Subaru-kun.
"Not only that, but his job is tailoring... no, not just that, but also designing clothes."
Natsuki Rem said.
Natsuki Rem recalled Subaru from the world she belonged to.
"In simple terms, he's a fashion designer, probably using modern knowledge. But I didn't expect that brother to be good at this."
Al said softly.
[[ "Since you're useless on the inside, you should at least be neat on the outside, otherwise, you're completely worthless. Anyway, put off shortening the pants for now, and fix the jacket first. Rem, come here."
"You say come here... it's not like she'll come whenever you call."
"Did you call me, Big Sister?"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
Rem immediately appeared. ]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
"Wow, is this Cao Cao?"
Al couldn't help but comment.
"Rem here is probably..."
Rem said softly.
Although Ram in the image explained it as Rem just happened to be there, so she came when called. But Rem showed an uneasy expression.
She felt that she was actually secretly monitoring Subaru.
Hurry up and fall in love with the infinitely charming Subaru-kun. What a woman with no taste.
[[ "I want to see it all now, but I also want to wait until she puts it on..."
"What are you muttering about? Please go inside."
In the image, Rem was going to fix the clothes for Subaru, so she took Subaru to the dressing room, where she saw many clothes.
After Rem urged him on, Subaru quickly walked in.
"Please stand there straight, raise your hands to shoulder level."
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'm counting on you."
"—Eep."
"Please don't make strange noises, Subaru. It's annoying."
When measuring his size, Rem's breath made Subaru cry out.]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
"Saying it's annoying, Subaru-kun's cry just now was so cute!"
And don't be so mean to Subaru-kun.
Rem thought to herself, looking at herself being so mean to Subaru-kun.
"As expected, Boss is still a man. The meaning of 'also want to wait until she puts it on' just now is that he wants Emilia-sama to wear it, right?"
"I... I wouldn't look good in it."
Outside the screen, Emilia hurriedly responded to Garfiel's judgment.
"Lia, you need to have more confidence in yourself."
Puck said.
[[ "Speaking of which, you're all in maid outfits. Don't you have any other clothes?"
Then, in the image, Subaru noticed many kinds of clothes and asked Rem.
"When accompanying Lord Roswaal on official business, or when working at the mansion, it's fine to wear this uniform. From the perspective of showing identity, there's no need to explain when wearing this outfit, Rem thinks it's reasonable."
"I'm not talking about whether it's reasonable or not... I think beautiful girls have an obligation to dress up more beautifully and be pleasing to the eye." ]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
"Obligation? Sigh, what is Subaru saying?"
"I can't agree."
Julius sighed, and Reinhard expressed his disapproval.
"Hey, then why did you dress me up like that?"
Felt remembered the uncomfortable dresses she had been wearing since following Reinhard.
"I am very sorry for making you feel dissatisfied, Felt-sama. I will design a new set of clothes for you."
"Ah, I said that's not what I meant."
I don't know if Reinhard misinterpreted my meaning or what.
"It's obviously very cute."
Old Man Rom praised Felt after she was dressed up.
"Even Old Man Rom!"
Felt was helpless and had to continue looking at the screen—
[[ "Let's not talk about Big Sister, but even if Rem dresses up, no one will be happy."
"Anyway, I would be happy."
"Would making Subaru happy have any benefits?" ]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
That benefit is enough, right?
Rem thought to herself.
[[ "The life of a maid would be more motivated, and it might improve work efficiency. Aren't you pursuing rationality?"
In the image, Rem shows a surprised expression in the face of Subaru's "rational" explanation. ]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
"Oh, our ice queen finally has other expressions."
Al teased Rem in the image.
[[ "Rem doesn't understand, what exactly made Subaru say that."
"Even if the hairstyle and uniform are the same, the difference in personality will show in the choice of clothes, I'm looking forward to that.
Although you're very suitable for wearing maid outfits, the twin attribute also matches this outfit very well." ]]
...
~Inside of the Theater~
"It seems that Boss wants Rem to show more of her personality."
"But... I have a bad feeling... according to what Natsuki-san described about Rem-san, Rem-san didn't at this time... no, she was suppressing her personality, so Natsuki-san's words..."
[[ "...It's none of your business. What's wrong with Rem being the same as Big Sister?"
Everyone discovered that Rem showed the coldest expression so far. ]]
