Subaru:  While the three of them were all getting on the same page, Subaru still couldn’t keep up with his basic level of knowledge and started to look irritated. “Hey, don’t go finding enlightenment all at once and then stop there. So what is it?”

Julius:  “It’s simple, Subaru. Ms. Ram’s body is suffering from a similar sort of deficiency as you are. Just as Lady Beatrice does for you, Ms. Ram needs someone to regulate her mana.”

Subaru:  “Every night, I secretly regulate it fooor her.”

Roswaal:  “Oh, every night… Ah!”

Subaru:  From their explanation, something clicked in the back of Subaru’s head. He remembered the image of Ram going to Roswaal every night. To be honest, at first, he had assumed it was a secret tryst between master and maid and averted his eyes from the graphic images that thought evoked. Now he realized it was in a certain sense a type of treatment for Ram. “My deepest apologies, Marquis Mathers. I’m afraid I will be unable to meet your expectations.” While Subaru’s face was getting hot as he realized he had been misunderstanding things for over a year now, Julius shared his thoughts on the matter.

Roswaal:  Roswaal’s eyes narrowed at the unexpected response. “It does not appear you are merely being humble nor are you simply trying to avoid rendering aid to a rival faction. Managing Ram’s Odo demands an aptitude at manipulating multiple colors of magic. On that point, I thought that you would be the best fit…”

Julius:  “I suspect your hope is due to the children around me.” Julius’s lips softened, like he had been caught in a moment of weakness. For a brief moment, several faint, warm lights floated around him. Six colors shimmered in the air. These were the spirits Julius had contracted with. That he used to be contracted with. “My sprouts… However, our connection is no more. If I had retained my previous status, I wouldn’t have hesitated to accept your request, but…”

Roswaal:  “Your contract with the spirits ended when your name was stolen, yes? And yet, despite having lost that connection, they still don’t seem to want to leave your siiide.”

Julius:  “I suspect it’s due to the remnants of the bond we once had. Otherwise, the connection is still there even if they cannot perceive it. Either way, though, it is merely their mercy that keeps them by my side. I’m afraid I cannot be of much help with my strength alone.” Looking at the quasi-spirits, Julius sighed listlessly. “Right now, I can do no more than serve as a simple knight. My apologies.”

Roswaal:  “I seeee. That is unfortunate. Disappointing that it turned out like this, but…”

Emilia:  “It’s okay. I’ll do my best to cover for what Julius can’t do.” Emilia stepped forward and put her hand firmly against her chest as Julius fell silent. Her purple eyes were welling with determination, if not exactly self-confidence. That willingness to step forward and do whatever she could was one of her greatest weapons.
