Subaru:  "How many times has your hair gotten snagged in all sorts of places? I think you’ve had your share of problems with that over the past year.” Whether inside the mansion, outdoors, or nestled within Subaru’s arms, Beatrice’s hair constantly got in the way. By this point, Subaru’s skill at disentangling hair was probably unmatched in the entire kingdom. He practically deserved a title like Bea-trimmer.

Beatrice:  “Right, practical and elegant! I don’t know what that stuff means, though!”

Subaru:  “Your gaze is like that of an uncomprehending chi… Hey, would you stop pulling, I wonder? !”

Mimi:  Bursting with curiosity, Mimi took great interest in Beatrice’s curls. Mimi’s movements were like a cat that had a mouse in its sights.

Beatrice:  Beatrice meekly looked to Subaru in search of rescue.

Petra:  “Hey, Master Subaru. Beatrice looks like she’s really concerned.”

Subaru:  “Wrestling with your failings is what makes people grow. Beatrice has a tendency to give up without even trying, so this is her challenge. Let’s stay quiet and watch over her like a good mom and dad.”

Petra:  “M-mom…? O-okay…” Petra fell silent with a red face as Subaru stroked his nonexistent beard.

Subaru:  The pair stood back and simply appreciated the warm exchange between Beatrice and Mimi. “Incidentally, since Mimi turned out to be the kitty Petra talked about…that probably means the restless-fidgety man who came with her is Julius, doesn’t it?” Crossing his arms, Subaru felt in his gut that this premonition was most likely accurate. It was plain to see that Subaru was very fond of Mimi personally. At the same time, she was part of the faction working under Anastasia Hoshin, one of Emilia’s political rivals in the royal selection. Another person working for the Anastasia camp was Julius Juukulius, a knight who had a complicated relationship with Subaru. At the very least, they didn’t have the kind of relationship where Subaru was unconditionally glad to see him. This being the case, he wanted to avoid seeing the man until he had some time to emotionally prepare himself, if he could help it.

Mimi:  “Mister, there’s no need to worry! Julius isn’t here today. Also, Hetaro and TB and the captain and the lady aren’t here, either! Mimi’s escorting all by herself!”

Subaru:  “Phew, that’s a relief. But damn, Anastasia’s crew has a deep bench.” Subaru still felt a certain wariness even after learning of the knight’s absence. Surely, Anastasia wouldn’t send just anyone to serve as an envoy to Emilia, a rival candidate in the royal selection. Anastasia was a big-time merchant, and the Hoshin Company she ran was a massive organization based out of the western city-state of Kararagi. Neither the quantity nor quality of her followers could be underestimated. Subaru decided he had best sit down with this envoy and gauge him sooner rather than later. “All right, this time, we really are going to the reception room…yes?”

Mimi:  “Yes."
