Subaru:  “And with you and Ram both down, I was the only one who could negotiate with that Sage over there.”

Julius:  “The Sage… You mean her?” Hearing that, Subaru pointed at the woman still clinging to his right arm, Shaula, whom he had been deliberately ignoring.

Subaru:  “I can’t really imagine her doing anything dignified enough to justify calling it negotiation.”

Julius:  “That’s a delicate way to put it. But it’s bewildering to me, too. No matter how much I pushed and pulled, she barely spoke a word. Now she’s gaga over you.”

Subaru:  “She wouldn’t talk? This thing here?”

Shaula:  “Argh! You keep doing that… Master, I’m Shaula, not ‘this thing’!” Shaula glared up at Subaru in a huff.

Subaru:  “Having someone come full throttle at you when your affection gauge is at zero just feels weird as hell, even if they are hot…”
gpt
Shaula:  “! You called me hot just now, didn’t you? !”
human
Subaru:  “It must be convenient having ears that only hear what you like.” Shaula’s eyes gleamed as she pressed even closer while Subaru tried in vain to peel her off. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape her monstrous strength. In the end, Subaru sighed as he gave up on recovering control of his arm.

Subaru:  “It is what it is, I guess. My arm’s a lost cause, so let’s focus on the topic at hand. Hey you, use your words and talk.”

Shaula:  “Sure, of course! If that’s what Master wants.”
gpt
Julius:  “I see. It’s helpful that you are being cooperative. If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask if it’s safe to assume that you’re the Sage who took up residence in the Pleiades Watchtower?”
human
Shaula:  “Bleh.”
gpt
Julius:  “Answer him properly! You literally just said you’d talk!” Right when she seemed willing to respond with an easygoing smile, Shaula blatantly ignored Julius’s question. And when Subaru pressed her, she puffed out her cheeks in annoyance.

Shaula:  “Whaaat? You’re the one who said, ‘If anyone asks you anything, don’t say anything unnecessary, don’t talk to them, and don’t tell them anything. Just stab them.’ I’m doing what you told me to!”
gpt
Julius:  “Your master’s pretty outrageous.”
human
Shaula:  “Yeeep. You’re super outrageous, Master. I demand a sincere apology and some serious self-reflection.” Even as she said that, Shaula rubbed her head against Subaru’s neck in a show of puppy-like attachment.
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru ignored it and flicked her forehead.
human
Shaula:  “That hurt…or not, but that’s abuse! Abuse, I say! You assaulted me! I’ll see you in court!”
gpt
Subaru:  “Where’d you even learn that phrase? …Anyway, talk to them, too, not just me. If you’re going to treat me like your master, then listen to me, please.”
human
Shaula:  “…Really? Can I?”
gpt
Subaru:  “? Sure. If anything, I’d prefer if you did. I want to get on with this discussion already.” A blank, stunned look crossed Shaula’s face.
