Knight:  “—Who’s there?”

Subaru:  “Hold up! It’s us! Sorry to startle you!” Checked by a sharp yell, Subaru came out of the thicket, showing himself with his hands up.

Knights:  The knights who had sensed them returning from deep in the forest, and thus pointed their swords at them, immediately relaxed their guard, relief on their faces as they lowered their blades. But that relief was marred by sadness and regret. Subaru had a feeling that the result of the fighting in the forest hadn’t been a pure victory, something to take joy in.

Julius:  “It seems you have both returned.” As Subaru and Wilhelm surveyed the area, Julius ran over.

Julius:  Seeing that Subaru and Wilhelm were each without injury, he stood at attention without any change in expression. “At the very least, it is good that you two are safe… Shall I make the damage report?”
human
Subaru:  “…Yeah, please do.” Having confirmed the other was safe and sound, Subaru granted approval for Julius to shift to the damage report.

Julius:  Accepting, Julius indicated the forest-turned-battlefield with his hand. …The forest littered with fallen trees and traces of bloodshed, the aftereffects of combat. “Five died instantly from the initial, invisible attack. Two more died while engaged in combat with the Witch Cult in the attack immediately following—our total casualties for this engagement were seven.”

Subaru:  “Seven…” Subaru had expected as much, but the number slammed heavily into his heart. They’d lost five in the initial Unseen Hands ambush. It was a most cruel loss.

Julius:  “…The Witch Cultists that tried to take you down?”
human
Julius:  “All of the nine Witch Cultists here perished. Two were captured alive, but they killed themselves like all cases prior to this point…despite Ferris’s strenuous efforts.”

Julius:  “So the enemy was completely wiped out. On our side, if we include the five scouts, our losses are twelve in total…”
human
Julius:  “I cannot say that dividing our forces was a…poor move. Had we done otherwise, it is highly likely we would have simply increased our initial losses.
