“Ugh… that guy is too much of a good guy!”
Rem, already on her way to Aram Village, couldn't help but complain on the road.
Just as they left Roswaal's mansion, Subaru Natsuki asked Rem to not kill the little girl, who was actually Melty Portroute.
Even though she had already killed Subaru himself, Subaru was the first to want to capture her alive, without the intent to kill. This was the point Rem was complaining about.
Seeing this, Yuma En Tou Yea-Huang, through observing Rem, knew what was going on and remained silent.
Subaru was indeed a kind person. If it was an ordinary person, facing this situation, they would be a complete bleeding heart. After all, besides everything else, this act of forgiving an enemy would absolutely cause great harm to oneself.
After all, the enemy still held hatred toward them!
However, since it was Subaru, he himself was just that kind, and he didn't require anyone else to save this enemy. Instead, through his own death, time after time, he wanted to achieve a perfect ending. This was something no one could criticize.
A false saint: hopes that someone else will save a certain person.
A true saint: even if they have to sacrifice everything, they will save the other person themselves.
Subaru, with his current actions, was heading toward being a saint. The reason he wanted to capture her alive was because he also knew the identity of the mastermind behind this, the little girl. Therefore, he felt a sense of empathy.
Rem eventually agreed to his request. It was to repay her guilt for killing Subaru before, and Subaru also gave Rem a reason she couldn't refuse.
“Maybe we can subdue her and have her serve Emilia-sama!”
This made it impossible for Rem to refuse.
...
This time, Yuma En Tou Yea-Huang's attention descended once again, putting Rem at ease. Having already witnessed his power, she chose a more aggressive approach.
The moment Rem saw Melty Portroute, she attacked. She didn't want to give Melty Portroute any time to take hostages.
Therefore, when Rem suddenly attacked, Melty Portroute was instantly taken aback. The little beast she was carrying, in order to help Melty Portroute escape, charged directly at Rem. She had always carried a beast with her, making this vigilance something Rem couldn't avoid.
Rem could only fight this beast. As the battle began, everyone in the village instantly ran away, children scattering in all directions.
Now, Rem had already taken out her meteor hammer, a unicorn appeared above her head, her Oni features clearly visible, and she was ready to kill this beast.
Ever since Rem was watched by Him, her attacks carried a strong fire, one that couldn't be extinguished, consuming everything. Therefore, this little dog beast was completely no match, quickly consumed by the flames attached to Rem's meteor hammer.
Even though the beast was dead, the flames didn't disappear.
Finally, Rem retracted the flames and chased after Melty Portroute.
Finally, she caught up to her in the forest.
“This time, you can't escape from Rem!”
Seeing Melty Portroute who had stopped, Rem said this.
At this moment, Melty Portroute was panting. No matter what, she was still just a little girl, so her physical strength was limited.
However, she clearly had no intention of stopping her resistance. In the forest, a large number of beasts began to gather, ready to surround Rem.
“Great One, please bestow your punishment!”
Rem resolutely requested that Yea-Huang act. As a result, a flame spread out from Rem’s body along the ground, extending to the surrounding area. This time, Yea-Huang’s avatar didn't appear. After all, Rem's goal was to capture her alive. If Yuma En Tou Yea-Huang's avatar had appeared, the other party's outcome would not be better than Subaru who had seen Him before.
The beasts that Melty Portroute summoned were all touched by this flame and then devoured.
Fortunately, Yuma En Tou's ability manifested as flames, which essentially roasted all these beasts. Otherwise, it would have been a raw meal.
This time, no one could stop Rem's success.
As for Melty Portroute, when Yuma En Tou Yea-Huang's power manifested, although he didn't completely transform, the power of the deity still shocked her. She couldn't resist and was quickly captured by Rem.
To be on the safe side, Rem directly knocked her out.
Thus, she finally captured this enemy lurking in the shadows. Afterward, Rem prayed to Yuma En Tou Yea-Huang in her heart once again: “Thank you, Great One!” With this, the threat outside Roswaal's mansion was completely eliminated.
Therefore, her prayer was a thank you to the deity.
Rem's predicament disappeared, and Yuma En Tou Yea-Huang also withdrew his gaze. Perhaps he will return when Rem seeks his help again. Of course, with Rem as his proxy in this world, as long as Yuma En Tou Yea-Huang wants, he can manifest his power at any time.
But for now, he doesn't need to.
