Our Other Place In The Sun

Chapter 9 (Old Friends)

A few days have passed by. Emilia and Rem made up with each other for the fight they had. As the days passed Rem waited more eagerly for the next election meeting. Rem and Subaru took over the house chorus. Either of them had yet to tell Rosswal about Ram nomination. Rem knew Rosswal wished for Emilia to ascend to the throne. She was scared Rosswal would get angry when he learned that her sister was going against her. Ultimately going against his wishes

Eventually an election meeting was called. Rem was very excited to see her sister. When Emilia told Rem that the meeting has been called Rem couldn't help but jump up in excitement

Rem, Emilia, and Subaru all agreed to set out to the capital the next morning

Rem wanted the next morning to come as soon as possible, so she went to sleep very early. Subaru shot her a confused look when she told him she was going to bed

"Rem... It's only 4:45. That is way too early" Subaru said. Rem didn't care how ealy it was she wanted the next morning to come as soon as possible. Rem walked off back to her room. Subaru decided to go talk to Emilia and Puck in the garden for awhile

"Hello Emilia and Puck" Subaru said as he walked over to them. Emilia smiled and waved at him when she saw Subaru walking over. She was glad Subaru wanted to spend time with her

"Hi Subaru, what brings you here?" Emilia asked

"Rem decided to go to bed. So I figured that I might as well spend some time with you" Subaru said as he sat down across from Emilia

"Why is she going to bed? It's not that late" Emilia asked

"She is pretty excited to see her sister. So she decided to check in as early as possible" Subaru said

"Oh well.. I guess that makes sense. Anyway it gives us some time to talk" Emilia said happily . Subaru nodded. He knew that now was a good time to break the news to Emilia that he and Rem would be living in Japan instead of staying with Rosswal. He knew he couldn't keep more secrets from Emilia. Especially after her fight with Rem

"Emilia I actually have something I need to tell you," Subaru said in a serious voice. Emilia and Puck looked at Subaru ready for what he had to tell them

Subaru was a bit reluctant to tell Emilia. He didn't want her to get heart broken like she did when she found out he and Rem were together. But she was going to find out eventually. Might as well tear the bandage off fast

"Emilia... Me and Rem will be heading back to Japan in a couple of days. Me and Rem have decided that it would be best for both of us to live there. Since there are more opportunities available" Subaru said. Subaru was preparing for Emilia to burst out into tears

But to Subarus surprise Emilia did not tear up nor did she get upset. Though her facial expression did go blank

"I... I understand..." Emilia said in a slightly sad tone. Emilia knew from how Subaru talked about his world. That Subarus world is a world of vast opportunities. She couldn't blame either Subaru or Rem for wanting to live their lives there instead of in Lugnica

"You do?" Subaru asked. He was very surprised at Emilia's response. Emilia nodded her head

"Yes Subaru, I understand. From what you told me, Japan sounds so much different from Lugnica. You are surrounded by so much amazing technology. It must be great to live a good life there, " Emilia said. Subaru smiled he was happy Emilia was taking the news well

"Emilia... Just know that me and Rem will still be over to visit often. I will see you again. I promise" Subaru said. A light smile came to Emilia's face
