5 days passed, and two of Rem's clone has still not arrived to their destination. For the first clone, this happened because of the faceless that appeared along the way to Macarath. Apparently a strong Sorcerer went crazy from the town of Macarath, the Sorcerer lost his mind because of a failed experiment. The Sorcerer now was summoning Faceless from left to right without restrain.
The knights and mercenaries from Nohr are now hunting that Sorcerer but the guy was like a cockroach, hit him and he'll just attack back and even heal because of the Nosferatu spell. After that, the crazy Sorcerer will retreat and hide then will continue to summon Faceless after a few hours of hiding.
Rem's clone got this information from listening to the people of Macarath. It was easy to do since this town was famous for it's entertainment and gambling, which means there are many drunk people around who just spit information.
'I think it's better to hunt some Faceless around to get some EXP. I'm still too young to enlist in the army anyway. It might also be better for me to just collect information, and maybe get a job in Nohr that is related in combat when I'm 15 years old above. I don't need to rush this since their are still more time. Maybe I could find a nice person around that will adopt me because of pity. A great choice would be a warrior or something.' Rem nodded to this, and first started to go around and get some information in the town.
As for the second clone, it was already at Cheve, a place where highly skilled knights are staying. This made the second clone stop it's journey since it thinks it's better for it to train here for awhile instead of going to Notre Sagesse immediately.
'From the knowledge I know, there are three companies of knights in here. Maybe I can enlist there despite my age. I don't believe that the kids here don't start training in a early age. This place is known for it's powerful knights so they might make children train early. I think it's ok to postpone the plan for now.' Rem thought as he looks around the city.
While that was happening to the two clones, Rem was constantly training with Sean. Nothing changed in his days except for training.

5 days passed again, Rem's clone in Macarath has made no progress at all. He tried to look pitiful and even made a story up that his parents was killed by the Faceless when moving here in Macarath despite that the people of Macarath didn't pity him at all.
'So much from trying to act pitiful, it's not working. I already tried to get the pity of 3 of my targets, unfortunately they just let me stayed at their house for a day then tried to bring me to the orphanages after. They were nice people but was still not the result I want to have.' Rem thought as he walks towards his next target.
This time his target was a woman, this woman's name was Maria, they say that she's a rich and powerful Strategist. Even though she has great power, she was a drinker and a gambler at the same time. She's also known for being a nosy person in front of injustice and she also loves donating huge amount of money to the orphanage. She was doing this since she was an orphan before too making her pity those children in the orphanage.
Maria was returning back to the town of Macarath to rest from trying to hunt down the crazy Sorcerer. Even until now, the Sorcerer was not caught. Making Rem think that this will take a while before the town will be peaceful from the attacks of the Faceless. The death rate was pilling up because of the Faceless which also increases the number of Faceless appearing. This was nice for Rem's situation since he can hunt some EXP while staying here. Thankfully, the Faceless was weaker compared to Rem but was still a threat for the weak townspeople.
'Maria must be going to the casino now. I must make sure that I dumped into her for extra effect.' Rem thought as he dirtied his clothes and body for extra points. He then walked towards the casino while making sure that he spots Maria.
Soon enough, he saw a woman that has purple hair that reaches to her waist. She was about 5'5 ft tall, and has a petite body. She was wearing eye glasses, and was holding a bottle of beer. Her face was already red, and was staggering as she walks towards the casino. She has two girls accompanying her that looked like they were stressed by the situation.
'Target spotted. Time to commence the plan!' Rem run towards Maria while making sure that he has tears on his eyes. It was hard to do this since he was only able to practice acting within this five days. Well, he can't say he can cry with many tears but he still can at least make two or three drops of tears with his acting skills.
*Crash*
"What the! Watch were you are going you shi- I mean kid?" Maria said with confusion.
"I-I'm sorry m-ma'am." Rem said while shivering from fright.
"Hey, go easy with the kid, miss Maria." One of the girls accompanying Maria scolded while the other girl tried to help Maria and Rem get up. The one who scolded Maria has yellow hair that was tied in a ponytail style, and this was the first girl that Rem saw with a devilish body but her face wasn't that beautiful though. She has the same height as Maria. The other girl has short black hair that was tied into to 2 ponytail style. She has a cute face with pointy nose, plump lips, and long eyelashes. She even has a natural blush making her cuter but her body was like Hane and has the height of Sean.
"Are you okay, kid?" The black haired girl asked.
"Y-yes, big s-sister." Rem replied making the black haired girl smile from being called 'big sister'. Well that is the effect when you're small but being called big. It's like a compliment for short people.
"Cute~" The black haired girl whispered.
"You're a Wolfskin, shouldn't you be in the Mount Garou at the moment?" The other girl asked.
"M-my p-p-parents... *tear falls* got k-killed by... *Deep Breath* F-faceless." Rem tried to act as real as possible but it was taking all of his efforts to do this. Thankfully, he was a kid so his act was more believable than he thinks.
"What! That sorcerer should really be hunted down!" Maria shouted making the other people outside look at their direction.
"Where are you staying right now, kid?" The yellow haired girl asked with a sad smile.
"N-no where." Rem looked at the ground as he willed himself to produce more tears.
"That's awful! Look at you. You're dirty and needs a bath." The black haired girl hugged Rem and patted his head as she says this.
"Do you want to stay with us for now, kid?" Maria asked while caressing his head.
"I-is that o-okay?"
"Of course it is!" The yellow haired girl said as she cleans Rem's tears away.
"T-thank you, big sister." Rem replied making the yellow haired girl smile,
"This is Cen and Olly. I'm Maria." Cen was the yellow haired girl while Olly was the other one.
"I-I'm Rem." Rem introduced himself. He planned to use this name instead of Kein. This can at least make it so that other's won't connect him to the main body even for a little. If others saw the main body and the clone, they'll just act ignorant and say they don't know why they look the same.
"Let's go to our home. I'll make sure to feed you lots of food later. Just call me big sister Olly." Olly dragged Rem as she runs to the direction of their house.
"The situation is really dire, many children are being orphaned because of the situation, Miss Maria." Cen said with a serious face as they follow Olly from behind.
"Yes, I don't know what happened with Dean's experiment to make him crazy but it is going too far already. I don't want many children to experience what I did in the past." Maria commented. Her face was not red anymore and was sober now.
"We should quickly find Mister Dean and finish him off but for now let's focus on Rem. We can at least make one orphan happy in the many orphans in the world." Cen smiled as she says this. She, Olly, and Maria were all orphans and knows how hard being one is.
'Stage 1 of the plan is a success. Now, I just need to make sure that Maria will adopt me as her son. I'll have to make sure these three girls will get attached to me. So far, Olly is the easiest target, and was already getting comfy with me.' Rem thought as he was getting dragged by Olly.
