Subaru:  "Regardless of how you look and act, you can’t be short-tempered and violent enough to…” For an instant, being hurled by Garfiel reemerged in his memories. “…to do that kind of thing.”

Emilia:  "Subaru, you seemed reeeally unsure just now…”

Subaru:  Subaru, on the receiving end of a rare quip from Emilia, looked straight at Garfiel.
gpt
Garfiel:  Receiving his gaze, Garfiel said, “Go on,” urging Subaru to continue.

Garfiel:  "I’ll listen. If you ain’t the dirt stuck to a half-demon’s foot, that is.”
gpt
Subaru:  "Half-elf. Next time I’ll get Roswaal to light your butt on fire.” Garfiel lowered his head as Subaru shamelessly proclaimed he would borrow another’s power for his retribution.

Subaru:  At his reaction, Subaru lifted a finger, turning that finger to indicate the Sanctuary outside. “I’ll continue. Now that imprisonment by force has been crossed off the list, what other way can I think of? To be honest, I don’t have much information to go on…but there’s one thing that sticks out in my mind.”
gpt
Garfiel:  “…You mean the barrier?”
human
Subaru:  “That’s right. You’re so smart, Emilia-tan.”
gpt
Emilia:  Coming up with the answer on her own, Emilia had sounded unsure in her answer, but her view was in line with Subaru’s own.
human
Subaru:  If neither Garfiel’s brawn nor Roswaal’s injuries was responsible for the imprisonment in the Sanctuary, it left the barrier as the only possibility—the barrier with a special effect originally meant to protect the Sanctuary. If it had been a simple barrier, Subaru might not have come to such a farfetched idea, but at any rate… “When she came in contact with the barrier, Emilia fainted. According to Garfiel, that’s not an effect limited to Emilia—it’s like that for most of the people living in this Sanctuary, he said.”
gpt
Subaru:  “In other words, Subaru…you think that it’s the barrier’s effect that’s keeping Roswaal and the others in here and preventing them from returning to the mansion?”
human
Subaru:  “There you go again! Exactly. Wow, Emilia-tan and I are in perfect sync today!” Elated that they were thinking along the same lines, Subaru went for a high five. But, when Emilia tilted her head rather than play along, Subaru gently eased his hand down and looked at Garfiel. “So, that’s what I was thinking, but…am I right?”
gpt
Garfiel:  “…Sorry, I’ve gotta drop my assessment of ya. Three steps down from a piece of mud.”
human
Subaru:  “That assessment is pretty out there, but, mm, I’ll aim to gradually raise it back up.” Taking that as a roundabout way of saying yes, Subaru nodded and looked over to Roswaal.
gpt
Roswaal:  As he did so, Roswaal closed one eye at Subaru’s and Emilia’s thought processes, amusement resting in his yellow eye. “My myyyy, there truly has been quite a change in the span of several days. The optimism in both Subaru and Lady Emilia is quite reassuring. It was well worth making my heart that of an Oni and letting matters be.”
human
Subaru:  “I have a mountain of things to say to you later about that ‘letting matters be’ part.
