Capítulo 8: 8. Welcome to my domain, Traveler
8. Welcome to my domain, Traveler
"Welcome to my domain, traveler from afar. My name is Roswaal L Mathers."
Aether was troubled how to react to that greeting because of the other party's appearance.
He once again measured the other person. It was a tall young man with a lean build and pale skin. He has heterochromia, as his left eye is yellow, and his right eye is blue. He also has long, dark blue hair. But the most important thing is how he suits himself. with his deep makeup, pierrot-like uniform, and the strange way he spoke. Aether really didn't know if he really was the lord of this domain or not.
It started when Aether and others arrived at this mansion. Emilia didn't waste time calling for help, and Aether helped carry the unconscious Subaru inside. After Aether put Subaru down on a bed prepared by Emilia, a blonde girl entered the room. "Is this the one, I suppose?" she asked as she moved toward Subaru.
Emilia made a troubled face for a moment and didn't know how to talk with the little girl, and at the end, "Let's go, Aether," she walked out of the room, "Puck, please!" Before leaving Puck behind with the little girl.
Emilia brought Aether to a somewhat large room. Inside the room, there's a huge rectangular table with many chairs around it. There are three people inside, one of whom is sitting on the chair at the short side of the table with two others standing behind him.
And we're back in this situation "Welcome to my domain, Traveler from afar. My name is Roswaal L. Mathers," said the jester-like person who sat in the middle.
"Please sit down," he continued, realizing Aether was a bit troubled.
"My thanks," Aether replied with a little bow after coming back to his senses. This wasn't his first time dealing with nobles. He has had some experience dealing with them.
Emilia sat on one side, while Aether sat on the other long side of the table. "Then... how can I help you for this visit?" Roswaal asked again.
"Ah, about that, let me explain..." Emilia interrupted, then she continued to explain why Aether was here. Like how she misunderstood Aether and Subaru's relationship, she also explained what Subaru had done for her.
"I see," Roswaal said with a small smile. "Then feel free to stay heeeere"
Aether nodded and accepted his hospitality, but... (he's suspicious), Aether thought, With his experience, he could feel it, no he knew there's something more behind his mask. At the same time, Aether was also used to situations like this, and he didn't care much as long as they didn't directly stand in or block his path.

The door opened, and a blonde little girl entered with a smile on her face as she talked with Puck. Once they were inside, that face instantly changed into a cold one as she stared at Roswaal.
"I've finished the treatment," she said.
"My, perfect timing," Roswaal replied, which made the little girl confused. "I'll introduce everyone here. First, that girl is Beatrice"
"Hmph!" Beatrice swung her face away from Aether.
"Eetto, she's always like that; don't worry about it," Emilia made a quick follow up.
"I don't mind," Aether smoothly replied.
"You already know Emilia-sama and Puck. The two maids behind the one with red hair are Ram, and the one with blue hair is... Rem." Roswaal continued.
"!?" Aether stood up from his seat, stunning everyone except Beatrice, who was busy playing with Puck.
Aether stared straight at the girl in the maid uniform. "Is there a problem?" Roswaal asked with a slightly lower tone.
However, Aether ignored him. "Are you sure your name is Rem and not a nickname? Not Remalia or Remmy, something like that?"
The maid with blue hair didn't immediately reply to Aether. Instead, she looked at Roswaal, waiting for his command.
"What do you want with Ram's sister?" The red-haired maid with a cold glare.
"Nothing, it's just a simple question," Aether replied to their hostility.
"Yes. My name is Rem," the blue-haired maid said after getting permission for Roswaal.
"I see." Aether sat back down. "Thank you for answering my question." Aether said politely, "I apologized for my rudeness just now." Aether knew he was in the wrong. He didn't mind apologizing once or twice.
He didn't care much about the people in this world, as long as they didn't harm him. It was only Emilia from the second run who had a bit of a relation with him, which was more than just an acquaintance. The Emilia in front of him was different, though.
To be honest, Aether wanted to go to the next world as fast as possible. However, he just didn't have any hints as to where and how he should find the one named Rem. He prepared to travel around the world twice or three times to look for Rem. Unexpectedly, he hit a jackpot here and was unable to hold his excitement.
"Then let me introduce my companion," Aether continued as he materialized Paimon. "This is Paimon, an emergency fo-"
"Hey!!" Paimon shouted angrily, "That joke is already out of date!"
Aether let out a slight smile watching Paimon with her appearance. The heavy mood just now became slightly lighter.
"Hm… a spirit" Roswaal stared at Paimon intrigued. Aether gave a slight nod to confirm him.
Then, "Grroowlll," a loud stomach sound reverberated through the room. "Ughh, Paimon is hungry," she said, hugging her own belly.
"Oh my, why don't we start our lunch eaaarly" With that, the two maids, Rem and Ram, leave for a while before coming back with food.
"This is delicious!" Paimon shouted as she continuously gobbled down the food in front of her. "Yea, this is much more delicious than the one we ate in the capital," Aether agreed, also continuously gobbling his portion.
"She may not look like it, but she is an exceptional cook," Roswaal said, a bit proud.
"Her skill is only slightly below Aether," Paimon honestly responded.
"Oh, I really love to test his foood then," Roswaal said with expectant eyes.
"When I have the chance later," Aether replied. He knew it was an act, so he just played along. They continued their small chat until the end of their lunch.

After lunch, Emilia said she has study to do and left Aether alone. Aether was brought into a guest room, where he would stay for these few days. After spending a few moments in the room, Aether and Paimon became bored, so they went out into the garden.
It was a beautiful garden. Aether sat on the grass while Paimon floated here and there. Also sometimes Paimon called Aether when she found something interesting.
Like that, time passed by...
"My, I'm happy to see you enjooooying yourself." A pierrot-like person came beside Aether.
"This place is beautiful," Aether replied without turning his head. "It's been taken care of very carefully."
"Thank you very much, Guest-sama," hearing that Aether turned toward them and saw Roswaal with Ram and Rem a step behind him.
"So, how can I help you?" Aether stood up and said with a slight bow toward Roswaal, a noble.
"My, my, you don't haaaaave to be so polite." Roswaal replied, "Also, don't you have something to ask me?"
Aether let out a slight smile and replied casually, "Isn't it the same with you?"
"Theeeen, follow me, let's go to a place where we can 'talk' peaaaacefully" Roswaal turned around without waiting for Aether's answer.
***
Following Roswaal the three of them Aether, Paimon and Roswaal arrived at a cliff with spiky rocks under the cliff.
"Then, let me staaaart. Aether… who are you? No, What are you? Is this a better question?'' Roswaal said with a cold glint in his eyes.
