Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 - Test

"Eat more, Rem. Here's some more sandwich." Olly says as she feeds Rem with another sandwich despite of him already chewing something else.

"You're going to choke Rem at this rate, Olly." Cen warned as she took the sandwich from Olly.

"Ehh, I'm sorry~" Olly spit her tongue out while scratching her head.

"Ish *munch* ohkay bhig *munch* sishter *gulp*" Rem said while stuffing his face with another sandwich. He was acting as if he was starved for days.

"Slow down, no one will steal your food hehehe." Maria said with a smile.

Rem obeyed and started to eat slowly. Olly was just whispering "cute" while making more sandwiches for Rem. Cen was just shaking her head at the situation but still has a smile nonetheless.

"I'll ready the bathroom so you can take a bath after you eat." Maria left them.

After eating, Cen and Olly guided Rem towards the bathroom where Maria has just finished filling a huge bucket with water.

"Remove Rem's clothes, Cen. Olly go get some clothes for Rem to wear. Just pick something that is small from our clothes." Maria ordered to which the two followed. Rem was a bit embarrassed from being naked in front of women but he tried to keep his cool since a kid should be innocent.

Maria and Cen started to wash Rem's body, and soon finished after a few minutes with Rem's face being red from the embarrassment. 'They actually washed my whole body even my little brother down there. The worst part was they were teasing me for calling it small. I'm still young so it's natural that it will still be small!' Rem thought while the two women were laughing at him as they dry Rem's body with a towel.

"I found some clothes for Rem to wear!" Olly shouted as she shows a pink dress and a girl's underwear to the three. 'The fuck! I'm going to wear that!?' Rem cursed inside but still kept an innocent smiling face outside.

"Ain't these clothes cute, Rem?" Olly excitedly started to dress Rem up as she says this. Rem's smile started twitching but the three women was just laughing at his current appearance. They even tied a pink ribbon on his tail, and a headband on his head that was full of flowers.

"Maybe we should try putting up some make up as well?" Cen asked with a smile. Rem shivered from Cen's demonic smile, and started to back away from the three.

'What did I get myself into!?' Rem shouted in his heart.

--

A few hours passed as the three women enjoyed themselves dressing up Rem into different 'girly' clothes. Rem was currently laying on a bed with dead fish eyes. The three women was also at the bed hugging Rem at each side.

'They have to at least get attach to me at this rate or else my sacrifices will be gone to nothing.' That was Rem's last thoughts as he fell asleep.

--

"Wakey~ Wakey~ Rem~" Olly was shaking Rem's sleeping body at the moment. It didn't take long for Rem to awaken from his sleep.

"Good morning *Yawn* big sister Olly." Rem stretched his arms as he stands up from the bed.

"Goo morning! Let's go dinning table and eat some breakfast." Olly energetically dragged Rem's body towards the kitchen where Maria and Cen was waiting.

"Our cute princess is finally awake~" Cen teased to which Rem cutely pouted to.

"Don't tease Rem too much, Cen. This is his last day with us after all." Maria smiled sadly.

"Do we really need to keep him at the orphanage, Miss Maria?" Olly asked sadly.

"Can't I stay with you, Miss Maria?" Rem asked as he acted as if trying to not cry.

"We can't do that Olly since you know our job is dangerous for Rem." Cen rebutted.

"I-I can protect myself, old sister!" Rem shouted while showing them his beaststone.

"I don't believe you can transform in your beast form yet, Rem. That's too early for your age." Maria shook her head as she says this.

"I promise you that I can. My parents taught me how to fight at an early age, Miss Maria. Please don't throw me to the orphanage." Rem begged as he starts to cry.

"*Ha* This situation is stressing me out. I can't keep you with us Rem, you're too young to be exposed to danger." Maria massaged her head as she says this.

"How about we test Rem's strength before deciding if it's better for him to stay at the orphanage, Miss Maria?" Olly suggested while hugging the crying Rem.

"I think that's a great idea, Olly." Cen nods at approval.

"You two... you do know you'll be endangering Rem's life by letting him join us, right?" Maria asked seriously. This made the two quiet as they think about the consequences.

"I-I want to s-stay with M-miss Maria and my big s-sisters." Rem begged as he hugs Olly tighter.

"Rem..." Olly sadly stares at Rem as she hugs him back.

"...Fine! I agree to test. We'll do it after breakfast. But! If I think your strength is inadequate then you'll be going to the orphanage. Are we clear?" Maria gave in to the three seeing their sad faces. Maria also got a bit attached to Rem like how she first met with Olly and Cen before. It was a like an instinct for her to keep Rem close by, a motherly instinct or something close to it.

"Yay! You heard that Rem you can stay if you prove that you're strong. Make sure to do your best later!" Olly excitedly jumps as she hugs Rem.

"Mn!" Rem nods as he too starts to jump with Olly.

"Thank you, Miss Maria." Cen says as she smiles happily.

"It's fine. I want Rem to stay too just like how I took you and Olly in the past." Maria replies as she smiles.

"Let's go eat lots of food so you'll have some energy for your test later." Olly starts to put eggs, sausages, and bread at Rem's plate one by one.

"Thanks, big sister Olly." Rem starts to eat the food being served to him with a happy smile.

"You're making our little Rem a glutton, Olly." Maria says with a chuckle.

"I think that's Olly's plan from the start." Cen says but she was also putting food at Rem's platter.

'I'll get fat at this rate.' Rem thought as he chew on a sausage.

--

When they were done with their breakfast, they out of the town and moved to a secluded place by the use of horses. Rem was also wearing his previous clothes before meeting them. It was cleaned already and the three was shocked to know that it was made from magic clothes since that was expensive to get. They got over it though since they remembered that magic clothes are common in the beast tribes.

"You're test will be facing three faceless at the same time, little Rem." Maria says as they got down of their horses.

"If you managed to defeat them then I'll make you stay with us. I'll even adopt you, and I'll be your guardian in the future just like Olly and Cen here." Maria continues as both Olly and Cen nods with a smile.

"I understand, Miss Maria." Rem nods as he readies a battle stance.

"Good. Cen be a darling and start summoning some Faceless." Cen nods as she took out a black book out.

Dark mist or shadow came out of Cen and her book, that dark mist or shadow went to the ground. The ground started shaking, and three giant arms came out of it. Soon three faceless was in front of Rem. The three faceless was making groaning sounds that was disturbing to hear.

"Aren't my pets cute, Rem? Fufufu~ your sister is a powerful Sorcerer." Cen proudly says she puffs up her already huge mountains.

"Do your best, Rem! Don't worry about your injuries, I'm a strong Priestess after all." Olly says as she took out a small wooden stick that enlarged into a staff about her height.

'Isn't a Priestess a class from Hoshido? How did Olly got that class? I can't ask about that to them though since that will be suspicious if I have that knowledge. The only way for me to think that she got that class is from an item that can help change classes like what Mire said before.' Rem thought as he transforms into his werewolf form.

The three women was surprised to see Rem really being able to transform into his beast form but quickly recovered from it with a smile. But one thing was sure was that they are happy and proud to find out that Rem was a genius compared to others.

"Start the test!" Maria shouted as Cen controls the three Faceless to attack Rem.

The first Faceless run ahead towards Rem and pushed it's right fist towards Rem's stomach. Rem deflected the attack by punching his right hand towards the Faceless' punch. While that was happening, the second Faceless jumped up into the sky and smashed it's arms towards Rem.

Rem saw this, and tried to step back but the last faceless was already on his back, readying to punch him too.

'They got me stuck, huh? I didn't want to show my extraordinary defense but I guess I'll have to show it now.' Rem thought as he starts to rain down a series of punches towards the Faceless in front of him without caring about the attack of the other two Faceless.

Maria shakes her head from seeing the situation since she thinks that Rem will fail the test.
