Subaru:  When the Sanctuary had been liberated, Ryuzu Meyer and the crystal sealing her, both of which formed the core of the Sanctuary’s barrier, had vanished together. He’d been told the coffin where the Witch slept, along with the magic crystal sealing the girl within, had been the keys to the barrier. Shima had sacrificed herself to open these, granting them true liberation. Albeit, perhaps she would be angry at having what she did referred to as a sacrifice—truly, it would be just like her to say she’d done her duty, cutting a path open for the youngsters’ future. He had little doubt that deep down, it was for the sake of her beloved Garfiel, though. The day was surely approaching when they could match her proud way of life. At the very least, he wanted to swear he would live up to it all, bringing no shame to what she had bequeathed to them. "Well, even if I made a lofty-sounding vow like that, it wouldn’t sound very convincing coming from me.”

Beatrice:  “—? Subaru, what are you smiling to yourself for, I wonder? It feels creepy.”

Subaru:  “Er, nothi… Wait, creepy? !”

Beatrice:  “Ah, maybe not, I suppose! I did not mean you are extremely creepy! Only a little, I suppose!” The naked insult and guileless poison thrust several times deeper than anything preceding it.

Beatrice:  Beatrice hastily and earnestly tried to cheer him up.

Subaru:  It took a little while after that for Subaru to recover, at which point he let out a long sigh. “Whew, I was in danger of dying from shock. I understand a little of how Puck felt…”

Beatrice:  “You have grown quite conceited if you think you can understand Puckie’s feelings, Subaru. But could you not forget that feeling of devotion, I wonder? If you do not, you will become a fine spirit mage in no time.”

Subaru:  “Yeah, yeah… Er, hearing the words spirit mage made me remember just now, but you were seriously awesome. I’ve never been able to let loose with magic like that before. Sure was one heck of a ride!” He hadn’t had the time to calmly think back upon it, but Subaru’s manly heart had danced during that battle against the Great Rabbit. He’d gone with the flow during the collapse of the archive of forbidden books and formed a pact with Beatrice. Subaru’s original objective was to bring Beatrice out of the archive, so forming a pact relationship, as a spirit mage was nothing but a by-product of that goal. Even so, it had been an incredible experience.

Subaru:  Subaru’s honest appraisal made Beatrice’s cheeks stiffen as Her gaze wandered about.

Beatrice:  “Subaru, about that… In other words, I may have something important to say about spirit mages, I suppose.”

Subaru:  “Oh? Why all the formality?”

Beatrice:  “This is a matter between Betty and Subaru that cannot be put off.” Beatrice seemed rather subdued as she sat Subaru back down on the floor.
