Subaru:  "Having to defeat all of them would be an especially harrowing prospect, but there is fortunately no concern about that. It is just that for a Witch besides Jealousy to become an issue is a very, very great problem in itself…" Subaru was relieved to have his worst imagination rebutted, but Otto’s concern had not been wiped away.

Subaru:  Subaru found himself suspicious when Emilia, sitting beside him, took up where Otto had left off.
human
Emilia:  "Well, you see, a reeeally long time ago, and this would be four hundred years ago…there were six Witches other than the Witch of Jealousy. But the Witch of Jealousy killed them all, supposedly…"
gpt
Garfiel:  "Seems like she ate ’em. Matter of fact, there ain’t much for records left of the Witches the Witch of Jealousy killed. But there’s exceptions to that."
human
Emilia:  "So you’re saying this is one exception? There’s something odd about the names of other Witches?" With Garfiel bolstering Emilia’s words.
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru pulled what was left of his question back toward Otto.
human
Otto:  Otto sighed as he continued, seeming to detest even speaking the words. "It is not a topic I enjoy speaking of, but it concerns the traits of Witch Cultists. As you already know, they are adherents of the Witch of Jealousy, but…they do not acknowledge the existence of other Witches. Even merely hearing the name of one is enough to drive them into terrible rampages."
gpt
Subaru:  "That’s awfully oversensitive…"

Otto:  "In the Volakia Empire to the south, rumors spread of the name of a Witch besides the Witch of Jealousy. A metia supposedly related to the Witch emerged, but there is no telling whether it was true or false."
gpt
Subaru:  The empire to the south, and the Witch Cult—those two elements coalesced in Subaru’s memory. He remembered a story Julius had relayed to him while they were traveling together at the height of the campaign to subdue Petelgeuse.

Subaru:  "You mean the story that a single Archbishop of the Seven Deadly Sins wiped out a city?"
gpt
Otto:  "That is the one. Perhaps the rumor of a metia was fact, or perhaps it was merely a convenient scapegoat after the fact… Either way, the cost was the downfall of an entire city. Speaking about Witches has been strictly prohibited everywhere since."
human
Otto:  With Otto concluding his harrowing tale.
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru nodded in sympathy. Subaru hated the Witch Cult and everything surrounding it, but the current conversation had added one more reason to hate it. "Isn’t it dangerous to spread around scary trivia like that?"
human
Garfiel:  "It’s not like it’s gonna leak outside. But the old hag says it’s the tomb of the Witch of Greed, so there ain’t no mistake. It’s just like, ‘Peromio festered from the point he heard it.’"
gpt
Subaru:  "Not that I’m really interested in what was festering, but I take it you don’t know the fine details?"
human
Garfiel:  "If you wanna know details, pry ’em outta Roswaal— At the moment, I ain’t sure you even could, though."
gpt
Subaru:  "—? What do you mean by that?"
