As a painter, how should I face the original heroine

"Hmph, that guy smells so bad."

Betty snorted dissatisfiedly, that extremely rude guy not only broke into his forbidden library at random, but also came here with a bad smell.

"The witch's... lingering fragrance? That's right, after all, this is the third time. I hope Subaru-kun is going well... Follow my plan."

Although there are a small number of episodes in the middle, the plot is still following the route prepared by Li Wei in advance, and then you just need to quietly enjoy this carefully crafted drama.

……

"You bastards, that's enough, don't wipe your nose on me."

Subaru Natsuki, who came to the village step by step, was immediately entangled by a group of brats, and had no choice but to play with them, but his attention remained on the puppy held by a blue-haired girl not far away.

"Do you want to touch it?"

The little girl approached and asked, holding up the little black dog that looked ugly because of a small piece of bald hair on its head.

"Hahaha, of course."

Nayuki Subaru smiled stiffly. He didn't think that such a small animal was under the hands of the magician hiding in the dark, but in order to avoid contracting the virus, he touched it twice carefully and stopped. Don't give it a chance to bite at all.

"Subaru-kun, it's time to go back."

Rem, who was holding two big bags of ingredients, looked at the back of Natsuki Subaru playing with the children with dark eyes, and silently urged:

Chapter 192 "Blue Ghost" and Natsuki Subaru

"Rem finished shopping, let's go back, let go of you little brats! I'll come over to play some other day."

Nayuki Subaru talked and talked, and finally pulled off the little kids who were pestering him, but when he turned around, he found that Rem was trying to tease the little black dog.

"Wait a minute! Watch out!"

In the nick of time, Natsuki Subaru finally grabbed Rem's outstretched hand and pulled her from the edge of being cursed, causing the black dog to burst into rage and howl crazily.

"It's dangerous, this little guy can bite people, Rem, you must not touch it."

Natsuki Subaru suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly explained to the blue-haired maid.

"Well... let's go."

Shaking off the other party's grasping hand, Rem silently picked up the ingredients and walked back to the mountain path of Roswaal's mansion.

"Hey, wait for me."

Nayue Subaru hurriedly chased after him. After successfully solving the first crisis, he finally relaxed a lot. As long as there is no blood left, the conjurer hiding in the dark will not be able to curse.

Although the other party probably won't stop there, at least in this way he can roughly determine the guy's location, and then he can take Sir Leviathan to search the village. It's better to keep calm now. So as not to startle the snake.

"I'm sorry, Rem, those brats have been pestering me all this time, so I couldn't buy ingredients with you. Are these things too heavy? I'll take them for you."

Looking at Rem with a gloomy expression, Natsuki Subaru thought that he had just thrown all the work to her, which made her sulk, and hurriedly offered courteous words.

"no need."

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff again, and the two of them could only walk on the mountain road in front of each other wordlessly, advancing slowly against the afterglow of the setting sun.

"That... Rem."

Nayuki Subaru opened his mouth several times, trying to ask the other party to cut his hair for him. For some reason, he failed to trigger the same event as before this morning. Now he can only be cheeky and ask the other party, but Rem is obviously in a state of refusal now. state of communication.

"Rem, can I ask you one thing? Recently, I feel that the ends of my hair are too long, can you help me trim it a little bit? This... I know it's sudden, but I heard Ram say it before Yes, Rem is in charge of taking care of everyone's hair in the entire mansion, so I thought..."

Nayuki Subaru explained in a panic that he didn't know whether his behavior was considered as asking for a date, but if he kept silent and paid so much, the day he was waiting for would not come.

"Tomorrow."

Rem, who was walking in front, paused, and agreed to Natsuki Subaru's request.

"Hahaha... That's great! I'm really bothering you, dear Rem."

Natsuki Subaru was like a child who was promised to go out for an outing, excitedly jumping on the spot twice.

"Rem is really amazing. Compared to her elder sister, Ram is much inferior in various skills."

In order not to let the atmosphere continue to cool down, Natsuki Subaru kept looking for something to say, and mentioned the twin sister who the other party cared most about.

"You are not allowed to say that about my sister!"

Rem tightened her grip on the paper bag containing the ingredients, and scolded angrily.

"Ah? Sorry...sorry, what I mean is that the two of you are good at different things. Ram is very good at teaching people. Under her teaching, I have already learned a lot of words, some relatively simple stories. I can understand the book too."

Natsuki Subaru touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and explained in a hurry, but after turning the topic to Ram, the conversation started.

"By the way, speaking of storybooks, why don't I tell you a fairy tale from my hometown. It's my favorite story."

Without waiting for Rem to respond, Subaru Natsuki started talking on his own.

"A long time ago, somewhere..."

This is his favorite and most hated story——"The Crying Red Ghost". It is suggested that you go to the village to make trouble, and let the red ghost drive him away to gain the trust of the villagers.In the end, the plan was successful, and the red ghost was finally able to become friends with humans, while the blue ghost, who was hated by people, chose to leave in order not to involve his friends.

"The red ghost repeatedly looked at the letter left by the blue ghost and kept crying...it's over."

"..."

Rem didn't make any reaction, just moved forward silently, but from her biting her lower lip, it could be seen that she was not unmoved.

"This is a tender and sad story. Whether it is a red ghost who has received the favor of a friend, or a blue ghost who has sacrificed himself, if they can be honest with each other, they can live happily even if they don't become friends with humans. But personally, I will choose to be a villager who is willing to accept them."

Natsuki Subaru raised his index finger, and commented in a rare serious manner, if possible, he would prefer to choose the happy end where everyone lives happily together.

"Eh... Rem? Did we go the wrong way? I remember that the way back to the mansion is not this way?"

Natsuki Subaru, who had recovered from the aftermath of the story, found that he had followed the blue-haired maid to a certain forest path. He had walked that path more than once in the previous reincarnation. Remember there is such a place in the middle.

"What do you know... You don't know anything about my sister and Rem! But here you pretend to be very familiar and talk nonsense!"

The blue-haired maid slowly put the paper bag in her arms on the ground, and took out a hideous and frightening chain hammer from nowhere and held it in her hand.

"Huh? Rem, what are you talking about?"

Natsuki Subaru couldn't react at all for a while, wondering if he had said something wrong.

bang——

The heavy chain hammer fell to the ground, accompanied by the sound of metal chains colliding deep into Subaru Natsuki's nightmare.
