“Spica-chan don’t run accross the hallway!”

“But it’s so big Mama!” the little blonde said as she  “Spica could never be tired of running here.”

For the little girl who had spent an uncountable amount of time in the emptiness of the corridor of memories, a place like the Roswaal Mansion was a gold mine of fun, with all its room and corridors.

“It’s get tired Spica.” It had been nearly a year since they started teaching her how to speak but she still made several errors every now and then.

“Surry Papa.”

“I know you are trying your best, but if you are really sorry stand still and let me pet you a little!!”

“Only if Papa can touch Spica, bleeeeh.” She stuck her tongue out as she kept running ahead of both her parents.

“It’s grab Spica, don’t give nee-sama any more material to call me pervert near little kids!!”

With a fake anger he started running after her under the look of a Rem that couldn’t help but look at this like it was everything she ever wished.

Sure she wanted to give her Subaru-kun children of their own, and she knew she would eventually, but they both loved that little blonde girl so much, that it made no difference in her mind.

This heavenly vision of her hero trying to play catch with the little girl, as she teleported each time at the last second, told her that struggling so much against the pain the world threw at them, had been more than worthy at the end.

BLINK

THUMP

However with one of her teletrasportation their child ended up not reappering in the hallway leaving both of them confused.

“Spica?”

“Spica is here.”

One of the near doors opened revealing she had unknownlingy teleported inside one of the stores of the mansion knocking over several clothes that had fallen on her.

Immediately both of them ran to her location checking if she didn’t injure herself with her reckless teletrasportation. They knew she was a strong girl, but nothing can suppress the natural instinct of a parent to worry.

“Don’t scare Rem like that ever again alright?”

“Spica is surry Mama…”

“We know you are.” Contrary to her, Subaru played the good cop in this situation, finally unleashing a head pat on his daughter head.

Until he noticed something about the room-

“Hey, these are all maid outfits. What a coincidence uh?”

“The outfit of Mama?”

“Yes that’s right. Better Better fix this before Sylphy-san or Nee-sama scold us for making a mess of the spares.”

And that’s what he was gonna do, if not for a small hand stopping him as it tugged his sleeve.

“What’s up Spica?”

“Can Spica try one too?” she said with a timid and pleading look “I wanna look like mama…”

If the request had melted Subaru’s heart, it threw Rem into an override of emotions.

“Yes! Yes you absolutely can Spica-chan! I am sure we have an outfit the size of Petra-chan that would fit you! Subaru-kun wait outside! This room is for girls only now!”

BLAM

Without realising it Subaru had been pushed and locked outside in a fraction of a second.

“Moms sure are OP when they want to be…”

Sitting down in front of the door he waited like an excited kitten.

“Barusu?” until someone saw him “What are you doing here besides wasting the air of Roswaal-sama house.”

“Hey, don’t blame it on me. It’s your sister that threw me out of the room after-”

“Did she free herself from your perversions once and for all? Shall I organize a party for the occasion?”

“No! We just found a room with the spare maid outfits while we were walking with Spica and she wanted to try one. Rem told me to wait outside as she dressed her. You know, girls only rule.”

“Oh…”

Surprisingly that shut up Ram as she positioned herself near Subaru, much to his confusion.

“Why are sitting down?”

“It’s the daughter of Ram’s perfect sister, of course she is gonna wait and see how she is gonna look like.”

“Mh, nice. Hey Rem, Spica. Ram also wanna have a look at how she will look like with the outfit!”

“That’s great Subaru-kun!” the muffled voice of Rem spoke from the other side of the door “As a matter of fact we are done!”

The door opened herself revealing the blonde girl timidly wearing a maid outift.

Subaru had already a dumb smile of a overexcited dad and even Ram was forming a soft smile on her lips but their reaction were cut off as she started speaking.

“S-Spica is happy to know you, Subaru-sama, Rem-san.” With a timid voice she took the borders of her dress and imitated the bow of a professional maid.

“Kyaaaa!!! If there is a god in the sky this is why he created the world!!!” Subaru couldn’t contain his excitement, clunching his heart trying to not explode from sheer happiness.

He had to invent a camera and immortalise the moment.

“Acceptable, but only considering it’s your first time.”

“Spica is really adorable isn’t she Nee-sama?”

“Kyaaaah this is too much for an old-man heart. I am gonna die!!”

“Subaru-kun you are barely in your twenties and Rem would want to keep you at least three or four more decades.” She said with a particular hunger in her eyes.

Oh how many plans she had in those decades to go through.

But the attention of the blue oni was quickly redirected from her love to their adopted daughter as she saw her making a frown.

“Spica-chan, what’s wrong?”

“It’s too hard to move in this dsess mama.”

“Aww but you look so cute in it.”

“I agree, but Spica is a girl that is way too energic for her own good, she is probably uncomfortable if she feels restrained too much.”

“It’s also too big, it keeps falling off.”

“What do you mean Spica-chan?”

“It’s not as suited as the normal dresses.”

Her parents looked at her slighty confused but, they quickly understood what she meant.

This was the version of the dress that had some missing parts of cloth in the upper part of the body, which meant that it had less grip it, and with one as small as Spica’s, it could easily have some gaps that either reveal too much or gets stuck on itself.

“Now that I look at it, Sylphy and Frederica wear the usual maid suit that covers all the body, while you and nee-sama wear the more exposed version. Why is that?”

“If Rem remembers correctly, it was nee-sama that made some changes to our outfits when we first arrived.”

“Really? Why did you do that?” Subaru turned to ask the pink maid.

“Ram’s tastes are none of your business Barusu.” She turned her head dismissing the request.

“But they are when they make Spica-chan uncomfortable, nee-sama.” Rem advanced with a more decisive tone.

The insistence made Ram freeze on the spot, only increasing Rem’s suspicions.

“Nee-sama, why did you do it?”

“It’s… well… Ram thought that Roswaal-sama might have liked it if her Ram wore more reveali- saw more of her skin- a better look of her body.”

With the mechanicity of a robot, even if she didn’t knew what it was, Rem handled Spica-chan to Subaru-kun arms, taking a few heavy steps towards her sister, forcing her to look at her twin directly in the eyes.

“Raaaaam.”

“Y-Yes Rem?”

“You are telling me, Rem ended up dressing her daughter with the outfit of a pervert?”

“…gulp.”

Just then, the oni god felt true fear for the first time.

Notes:

So I had this idea after seeing the old fanart of CuryfromZero about Spica from the Sloth route wearing the maid outfit in this chapter ==> https://archiveofourown.org/works/74808271/chapters/202305551

At the start I thought of it being a chapter of Living Under Skies set in the future, but it wasn't really a "post theatre" plot, and when I thought that we already do have a canon Spica to use and not enough fic about her and her family, I choose to write it as independent.
