Subaru:  “Having said that, what’s with those brats getting all clingy like that… Don’t they know that touching everything just gets your fingers burned? Can’t they tell I’m putting out a hard-boiled aura here?”

Subaru:  “The ‘by yourself’ part sounded a bit sharp there, but it would’ve been nice being busy without getting mobbed like that.

Rem:  “Come to think of it, how is your studying going?”
gpt
Subaru:  “I’d like to say…steadily, but it’s not as simple as that. Stuff like this needs time to slowly nurture and develop…just like love!”

Rem:  “As long as you don’t give up midway.”

Subaru:  “There wasn’t much tenderness in that comment just now!” Seeing that his shout brought a slight smile to Rem’s face, Subaru also smiled in relief.
