There was an uncomfortable silence in the room, Subaru was currently sat at the head of the table looking far more confident than his sad self from earlier atleast to Emilia and puck that is there was also the point of why Roswaal was standing next to Subaru who was sitting on his chair and do nothing

What she was more concerned about was why ram was unconscious and why rem was nowhere to be seen

"Uhm, Subaru where is-" but she wasn't given time to speak as Subaru responded fast

"Rem is dead" was all he said simply, driveling a shock to the duo, was what he said true? Had rem really died? But what could have possible happen to her?

Puck on the other hand could vaguely tell what everyone was thinking due to being an empath, but what scared him was not only Subarus lack of emotion, but Roswaal's FEAR, not at him like it would usually be, but at the boy next to him who had helped his daughter in the fight, he did feel gratitude, so he wouldn't question it as long as his daughter wasn't threatened... his hopes were all but dashed away in an instant

"Emilia, I'm going to ask you to leave the mansion" was all Subaru said simply, Emilia was shocked and puck was simply confused? What brought about this change? Clearly not even Roswaal is going to defy the boy however, still though it was his daughters dream and he wasn't going to let some boy get in the way no matter how much he wanted her to just be safe and live with him

"Do you really think-" he started but he was however cut off

"You're only allowed to manifest between 9 and 5"

Puck froze at that, he never told Subaru that part of the contract and he's pretty sure Emilia hadn't either, but that's nothing even the maids-

"You don't absorb mana from the atmosphere"

This was getting dangerous, it's seems Subaru had found a way to look at his contract and that was bad he couldn't let him keep speaking, but if he killed him infront Of Emilia who knows what would happen his fears only worsened at Subarus next words

"Emilia, in the event of your dea-"

A violent gust of cold air blew through the room

"STOOOOOP!"

Puck immediately bellowed out, that was dangerous, he could never allow his lia to know that part of the contract, never, and that's why...

"Lia... you should listen to him"

This shook her to her core, those whole time she's barely gotten a word in, she's just sat there in shock as Subaru and puck had what seemed a whole conversation in just a few sentences and now her father was telling her to give up her own dreams, what was happening?

What was happening truly, and how did Subaru know all this? Well you can thank the 147 loops in this very same dining hall for that! He had constantly died to puck again and again in order to persuade them out of the mansion, no matter how much Subaru liked Emilia, puck was too much of a threat and he needed to go

Now all that was left on his face was a small smile at a job well done
