Julius:  It was weird to say that it was just as he’d hoped, but Julius was good at picking up on things. He quickly connected Gluttony’s name and ability and reached the conclusion Subaru had wanted him to find.

Julius:  “It seems like they’ve known where we are since last night. So a half day’s travel…with pets in tow.”

Echidna:  “Considering normal movement speed, it is difficult to imagine reaching this tower in only half a day. Particularly accounting for any obstructions from demon beasts along the way. However…”

Julius:  “However?”
human
Echidna:  “If, unlike our rough trip, Gluttony has some way of controlling the demon beasts…then it would purely be a question of how fast they can move.”

Subaru:  Subaru frowned and crossed his arms at Echidna’s comment. "What do you mean by that?”
human
Echidna:  “—Even if it takes time traveling along the ground, it’s a different story through the air.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Through the air…!” Subaru’s black eyes widened at that unexpected angle. “Right, I was just assuming flying wasn’t an option…but it’s normal to fly if you have magic!”
human
Echidna:  “That’s not true at all. Flying through the air is a composite technique. Ordinarily, it isn’t done because it is dangerous. Only a fool or a genius would use it. Or else a foolish genius, I suppose.”
gpt
Echidna:  “Marquis Mathers is famous for arriving at the castle through the air…”
human
Echidna:  “And he is a foolish genius.”
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru looked at Beatrice as she sulked adorably. I guess she’s not a fan of this unknown marquis. But he cocked his head a bit in learning that flying by using magic wasn’t normal.
human
Subaru:  “If it’s not magic, then a giant bird…ah, a dragon! What about riding on a flying dragon? !”
gpt
Echidna:  “The technique of controlling flying dragons is a secret passed down in the Volakian Empire to the south. The empire has jealously guarded the technique, but considering Gluttony’s methods, it would be a relatively simple matter to steal that.”

Subaru:  “They could just ask someone who knows. Take a big bite out of their memories.” The thought made Subaru realize just how powerful their enemy was when it came to the information war. Just eat someone’s memories, and they would instantly learn whatever they knew. Eating their name would erase that first act and even that person from everyone else’s mind.
