Julius:  "You…are not Lady Anastasia, are you?”

Julius:  "I…would like you to explain the situation. You cannot cover it up or hide it further. Even I cannot simply accept that any longer.” Julius interrogated Echidna head-on after a brief moment of hesitation.

Echidna:  "That’s not—” Echidna started to argue, but—

Julius:  “I was quite clear that I could not simply accept that.” Julius drew the sword that he had replaced for his broken one and pointed its tip at Echidna’s white neck.

Julius:  “Julius, wait! That’s…”

Julius:  “You too, Subaru. I only wish to know the truth.” Entirely calmly, Julius asked them to come clean.

Echidna:  Echidna caught her breath and could not move with the sword pointed at her. Her eyes looked at Subaru for some help, but he couldn’t think of any way of recovering, either.

Julius:  “How much did you hear, Julius?”

Julius:  “…From the part regarding Lady Anastasia’s body.” Julius’s voice was hoarse as he answered the question. Whatever he had heard was more than enough to make him emotional and lose any semblance of calm. But even so, at least on the surface, he was still keeping his cool. Or else things had gone so far off the map that he had blown past getting emotional.

Echidna:  “…I’m an artificial spirit that has spent many years together with Ana. My name is Echidna.”

Echidna:  "During the fighting with the cultists in Pristella and since then, Ana’s consciousness has been slumbering inside her body. Because of that, I am the one moving her body instead of her. I have been pretending to be her since that day.” Echidna had also decided that there was no way to cover things up once it got to that. She coolly, without any preface, began to explain things in a matter-of-fact tone. How she had switched with Anastasia during the fighting in Pristella and faced off against the Archbishop—and how Anastasia did not reawaken after the fighting was over. How she had hid that from Julius, Ricardo, and the rest of the Iron Fangs, and had set out for the Pleiades Watchtower in search of a way to restore Anastasia. —And that Subaru alone knew her secrets.
