Subaru:  "…I guess that makes sense.” Though they were different species, Ram and Patlash were similar in their haughtiness. But it was a little inconvenient that the only one she could connect with was the dragon who was already with them. “Lady Emilia and Julius can communicate with lesser spirits, so they should not get lost. On that point at least, I do have to wonder about the maliciousness of this grouping.”

Anastasia:  “Guidance from lesser spirits? Yeah, Emilia-tan tends to use that pretty effectively. In my case, the connection with Beako is too strong, and it scares off the lesser spirits, so I can’t really use it.”

Ram:  “You are just a half-baked mage born of Lady Beatrice’s pity after all. I didn’t get my hopes up.”

Subaru:  “Grrr…” There was nothing he could say in response to being called useless for gathering information, so he didn’t try. In the end, it just meant that the people who could be counted on to fight could also rely on their abilities in other areas as well.

Anastasia:  “She’s hiding it behind a tough front now, but right after we got sent here and before you woke up, Ram was pretty panicky about not being able to find Rem.”

Subaru:  “…That so…?”

Anastasia:  “You’re doing fine in terms of keeping Ram calm. You aren’t useless at all.” While Ram was searching with her clairvoyance, Anastasia quietly mentioned what had happened right after they had been separated from everyone else. Considering how Ram felt, what Subaru had said earlier really was the worst. Subaru had seen how devoted Ram was in going to take care of her little sister that she couldn’t remember every day during the past year. Even if someone else doubted her feelings, Subaru at least should not have doubted her.

Anastasia:  “Reflect on your mistakes and make the most of them. It’s the same in life as it is in business. And you’re the kind of guy who can do that, aren’t ya?”

Subaru:  “…Don’t change gears on me and start saying nice stuff like that. The witch who made you tried to ensnare me with a similar sort of setup.”

Anastasia:  “Ensnare, huh? I’d appreciate it if you could start thinking of me as a different person from that witch. If you’re too stubborn, the girls will never fall for you. Consider that a genuine bit of advice from me.”

Subaru:  “I don’t know any other way to go at things. But I’ll make a mental note of that.” With that advice on social grace from an artificial spirit, their group continued deeper and deeper into the cavern. As they went along, the mental stress of walking through a labyrinth of sand where everything looked exactly the same grew ever more intense. Their unease and anxiety at the lack of progress continued to grow, but also there was something bothering Subaru.
