Chapter 248.1 - Who
「… There really is someone in there.」
Said Hayama-kun, trembling with a pale face.
Both Randou-san and Hayama-kun had been trembling non-stop since a while ago.
If one finds someone in a place that was supposed to be empty, that would be in a splendid horror, but…
「Someone says there are people here.」
「I don't know who, but there's definitely someone here!」
「This is a huge problem you know, Momokawa!?」
These two might be trying to pull a prank on me. I mean, Randou-san's frivolous remark aside, Hayama-kun responded to that as if they spoke with their minds (telepathic).
And then, when I looked into Rem's armor who pushed me from behind as if she was trying to pull a prank on me too… But their acting was so surreal, to the point that they might win an Oscar.
「Haah, got it, I'll see inside too.」
Even if it was a huge prank, it would end immediately.
At this point, I didn't really care whether I would fall for their prank or not anymore.
Thus, I peeked into Dark Knight Rem from the neck hole that lost its helmet———— And met with a pair of eyes inside the armor.
When you looked into the abyss, the abyss was also looking back at you. Such words crossed my mind.
「The-There really is someone inside…」
There was a pair of big, blue eyes inside the dark armor.
Those blue eyes were looking at me.
「Who are you… Is what I want to ask, rather, how did you end up inside that armor…」
There should be no one inside Rem. Dark Knight Rem was just like the real living armor, the empty armor moved on its own.
Yes, the inside of the armor was supposed to be empty… And ye…Ah, back then she threw Yamata no Orochi's core inside the Dark Knight.
Rem was locked up in the 1st floor of the School Tower until I was released from the clandestine room by Takanashi. That's why she couldn't come immediately when I called her.
Instead, I asked her to make a preparation for escaping with teleportation until I was released from my confines.
She crammed everything that I might need inside the treasure chest that had been prepared from the very beginning.
I also picked up Yamata no Orochi's giant core. But since it was too big, I told her to cram it into her empty armor instead.
Losing this core would at least buy me some time to prevent the other classmates from leaving the School Tower area. And also prevent Takanashi from using the heavenly gate.
I could not let Takanashi escape for the sake of saving everyone. I had to return while everyone was still inside the dungeon.
This last-ditch plan aside, the current problem was these blue eyes.
There was literally no timing for someone to enter the armor during such a situation.
However, there was definitely someone in there, and then… I couldn't find Orochi's core which was supposed to be big.
In that case, there was only one possibility.
「Are you by chance… Rem?」
「….」
The pair of big blue eyes twinkled.
After receiving such affirmation, I stretched my arms.
「Come here.」
The owner of the blue eyes, appearance-wise, was like a child.
Since the Dark Knight armor was huge to begin with, there was enough hole on the neck part for a child like that to come in and out from that hole.
When I stretched my hands to the child that was supposed to be Rem, the feel of soft and squishy skin was transmitted to my hands. She was heavy, but just the right weight for me to lift, and she really looked like a child.
「Here you go.」
Finally, the child's appearance was fully exposed under the sunlight.
Or should I say, congratulations for growing to be a healthy child.
She was a girl with snow white hair and snow white skin. Adorable, doll-like face, blue sapphire-like eyes, and beautiful bobbed hair.
I hugged her.
「W-Who's this child?」
「From where did you kidnap this child?」 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
「That's a slander, Hayama-kun. This girl might be Rem.」
「Eh? Seriously? I mean,I know that Rem-kun can turn into various forms such as armor, spider, dinosaur etc, etc, but she never turned into a girl.」
「That's why I said "might be". Rem, you're "Rem" right?」
「… Re~m.」
「SHE SPOKE!?」
Randou-san looked shocked. Honestly, I was quite surprised too.
「Look, the person herself so.」
「R-Really. Are you sure that she's not just mimicking you?」
There was that possibility too. But since Rem gained human form, she should've a vocal organ too. Rather, the fact that she said 「Re~m」 a while ago indicated that she could speak properly.
「Rem, can you speak other words? Rather, do you know who am I?」
「M…Ma, Mas, ter.」
「Yes, I'm your master.」
「Ooh, does that mean this girl is really Rem!?」
I felt something rising from my heart when she called me master. I mean, I had never expected that Rem would take this kind of form. But man, she was truly an adorable girl.
「There, there Rem, you're such a good girl.」
「Oi Momokawa, I want to hug her too.」
「E~h, let me hug her for a while longe~r.」
I brushed Rem's silky hair as she clung onto me like a koala.
Maybe because she loved kids, she felt the need to care for Rem.
As for Rem, she remained expressionless from the beginning to the end.
「Folks, this ain't the time to raise a ruckus.」
Thus, Hayama-kun chided us who were frolicking over Rem who had reincarnated as an adorable girl.
「What's the matter, Hayama-kun.」
「You just want to hug her too ri~ght, Hayama~」
「Don't screw with me girl, she's fricking n@ked. Give her some clothes already, what are you going to do if she catches a cold!」
That was a sound argument.
====
「Okay, let's dig in.」
「Let's, dig, i~n.」
Rem grabbed the bite-sized meat with chopsticks as she spoke awkwardly.
「Blow it first carefully, it's hot.」
「Fufu~」
Rem blew the steaming hot meat carefully with her small mouth. A while after that, she opened her mouth and ate it.
「Is it delicious?」
「Yummy.」
「A~h, Rem-chan is so adorable~」
「Momokawa completely turned into a doting mother.」
Anyone would respond like a mother in this kind of situation.
Anyway, I made clothes for Rem who was butt n@ked till a while ago with the t-shirt and jacket that I had set aside as my change of clothes. Since the little girl Rem was even smaller than me, who had a smaller frame in the class, my clothes looked really baggy on her.
I would make proper clothes for her later, that's why she had to make do with my clothes for now.
And though we weren't particularly hungry at this time, we decided to have a meal.
Given her previous form, Rem had never eaten until now. To begin with, as her name suggested, she was a mud doll, then powered up and became a skeleton, then a corpse puppet. Her body had always been a corpse that is why she didn't need food to sustain.
However, this young girl version of Rem was obviously different from her previous incarnation as doll or corpse. In short, she was alive, living and breathing just like a human. The fact that she could speak had only solidified that fact.
That's why seeing her in this little girl form had only made me want to feed her, and this was another test to see if Rem could really eat or not. Thus, I was feeding her.
「But ma~n, can we have a proper adventure while taking care of the kid?」
「Don't worry about it.」
I know that she was at least stronger than Hayama-kun. There was no way that being incarnated as a human would affect her strength.
