Subaru:  However, knowing that wasn’t enough to sway her decisively, Subaru cracked his neck and said, “The best way to make a tone-deaf person self-aware—is to have her objectively listen to herself sing. Ideally, we’d use something to record you singing, but unfortunately, such a convenient item does not exist here.”

Subaru:  And so, giving up on technology, Subaru decided to try out a more primitive method. “What’s that…a bucket?”

Subaru:  “Let me introduce today’s guest: Mr. Bucket. This guest lecturer is going to show Emilia-tan here how tone-deaf she is. Don’t worry, he’s had a bath, so this is completely hygienic.”

Puck:  “How exactly are we supposed to use…Mr. Bucket?” Puck asked. “Can I get inside of him?”
human
Subaru:  “I understand the feline urge to climb into cozy-looking spots, but not now. Mr. Bucket is easy to use—we put it on Emilia’s head and have her sing.”

Emilia:  “Huh—?”

Beatrice:  “Pfft, I say.”

Emilia:  At Subaru’s suggestion, Emilia gasped, and Beatrice burst out laughing. “Um…sorry, I think I misheard that.”

Emilia:  “What do I do with this bucket?”

Subaru:  Subaru smiled and held out the bucket. “You wear it on your head. Then you sing. You’re gonna be a bucket-headed heroine now.”

Emilia:  “Stupid Subaru! And here I was trying to take you seriously!” In her anger, Emilia attempted another escape.

Subaru:  But Subaru quickly grabbed her arm. “Whoa, hold up! No, Emilia, I’m not joking, okay? If you put this on your head and sing, your voice bounces off the bucket walls, and it’s easier for you to hear it! I’m not lying, I swear!”

Beatrice:  “This is your just deserts for lying all the time, I suppose. You’re just like the farrow tamer in Hoshin of the Wilderness.”

Subaru:  “Sounds like you’re calling me the boy who cried wolf, loli-menace! Just shut up for a while.” After pausing to shut down Beatrice, Subaru turned back to Emilia to explain his case again while she leveled her withering gaze at him. The last time she stared at him so harshly might just have been the day he was first summoned to this world, when she had introduced herself with a witch’s name and Subaru had unknowingly used it when talking with her. In any case, Subaru was desperate to communicate his sincerity, especially after the bucket suggestion had shaken Emilia’s trust in him. “If you hear yourself sing, you’ll understand what level you’re at! I’m telling the truth, I swear—just take my word for it and you’ll see for yourself!”
human
Emilia:  “Just take your word for it? Gee, that’s convincing! Well, I’m done with being tricked, thank you!”
gpt
Subaru:  “So untrusting! Who made you like this…”
human
Emilia:  “Only yesterday, you told me to just take your word for it and made me eat some bad mayonnaise! Just remembering how upset I was is making me angry all over again!”

Subaru:  “Shit, it was me? Stupid past-Subaru! But I’m a different man today, Emilia.
