Subaru:  Subaru was watching the exchange to its conclusion, at which point they were just about ready to head out—

Petra:  Red-faced, Petra held up a hand as she offered something to Subaru. “Um! Master Subaru…could you take this with you?” She was trying to emulate Frederica as she offered a plain, white handkerchief with her hand.
human
Subaru:  Suspicious concerning Frederica’s demeanor, Subaru went “Err?” as the gesture caught him completely by surprise.
gpt
Petra:  “A white handkerchief to see you off on your journey. You can clean yourself with it along the way and return it when you get back—I understand it’s not done much these days, but it’s an old custom to wish for someone’s safe return from a journey.”
human
Subaru:  “Ohh, that sort of thing. Got it. Thanks, Petra. I’ll bring this back to you safe and sound.” Having been taught the meaning of the handkerchief being given to him, Subaru wrapped it around his wrist.
gpt
Petra:  His reply made Petra lower her red face; she gracefully slipped behind Frederica’s back.

Subaru:  “Ah? What’s with that reaction all of a sudden? That difficult-age stuff’s leaving me out on a limb here.”
gpt
Frederica:  “From the looks of it, Lady Emilia, Master Subaru has no right to criticize you.”
human
Emilia:  “Me? Did I say something strange?”
gpt
Frederica:  Frederica sighed deeply as both Subaru and Emilia twisted their necks, wondering what was amiss.

Frederica:  In the end, they went without an answer to that question as Frederica stuffed the pair into the dragon carriage, all preparations to depart complete. “Yes, yes. Both of you hurry along now. The Lost Woods of Clemaldy that the Sanctuary is in becomes a dangerous place when night falls.”
gpt
Subaru:  “We get it, we get it, geez. On your end, take care of the villagers, ’kay? Also, make sure to dispose of the mayonnaise in storage before it goes bad.”
human
Frederica:  “I really have to wonder about lining up those two issues in the same sentence…” With an exasperated voice, she pushed on their backs, and Subaru and Emilia boarded the dragon carriage.
gpt
Maids:  When Subaru looked back out the window, two maids, short and tall, stood straight side by side as they looked up at the carriage. “I pray for your safe return. Please give my best regards to the master and to Ram.”
human
Petra:  “Master Subaru, take good care of Big Sis, okay? Also, to the noisy person, good luck.”
gpt
Otto:  “Is that not a horrible assessment of me? !”
human
Frederica:  Heedless of Otto’s reaction, Frederica and Petra quietly gestured, giving Subaru and the others a completely courteous send-off. With that send-off pressed to their backs, the dragon carriage powerfully set off.
gpt
Subaru:  “Well, all aboard! Otto, we’re counting on ya!”
human
Otto:  “I really cannot approve of this treatment…!” Otto left behind his lament at his treatment, poor to the bitter end, as they departed from the mansion.
