Rem:  "Is there a strange smell?"

Subaru:  "Smell?"

Rem:  "Yes—one besides your body odor." Rem sniffed, then flapped her hand as if trying to clear the air.

Todd:  "Sorry, sorry. I figured it would be fine given the distance, but with a good nose you can tell. But once something’s been decided, it doesn’t feel right to just sit around doing nothing, right?”

Todd:  "Todd?" Todd pulled back the flap of their tent and beckoned them outside.

Subaru:  Subaru met Rem’s gaze, then gave her her wooden staff, and went over to the tent entrance. He stood next to Todd, and then he saw it.

Subaru:  “…Huh?” Dense black smoke was billowing into the sky, and there was a powerful charred smell. Badheim Jungle—the great jungle that extended as far as the eye could see—was being consumed by brilliant flames that were becoming an inferno.
gpt
Rem:  "This is…” Rem was struck speechless, too, at the sight of it. They stood next to each other in shock, watching the burning trees—the jungle inferno, the world ending before their eyes, like a nightmare come to life.

Todd:  “If demon beasts are lurking in there, there’s no telling how many people we’ll lose. The commander, General Second-Class Zickle, came around once he learned that.”
gpt
Todd:  "Thanks to your information, we can wrap this up without having to lose anyone. You’ve been a great help.” Todd smiled and gave Subaru a smack on the back.

Subaru:  “Wh-why…?”
human
Todd:  "Why…what?”
gpt
Subaru:  “You said they didn’t want to fight the Shudrak in the jungle, right?”
human
Todd:  “This is…”
gpt
Todd:  “Yeah—they didn’t want to fight. There was no way to know how many losses we would suffer. Even I could have died. But that tidbit about the demon beasts was enough to convince the general, so the problem’s settled. The Shudrak won’t be able to go against the emperor this way, either.”
