Ram:  "Would the Sage who has gone so far out of their way to reject outsiders really leave an easy path someplace? There’s no way. Retreating into dreams in the face of a punishing reality is the last resort of cowards who want an easier way."

Julius:  "You… We’re just talking about the possibility of even a slightly safer path."

Ram:  "We embarked on this journey well aware that it would be dangerous. The resolution to lose something is necessary to ever be able to gain anything. Or were you planning to win without ever risking anything? How arrogant can you be?"

Subaru:  Faced with Ram’s fierce tongue-lashing, Subaru paused for a moment and then let out a deep breath.

Subaru:  Ram was intentionally phrasing it provocatively to urge them forward. And there was of course a logic to what she was saying, too. But there was also a logic to what Julius had said. All that was left was to decide which one—

Meili:  "Meili, what about just making the ones on the path we take move out of our way?"

Meili:  "Try to narrow it down instead of moving all of them? In that case…" Meili focused on the field, examining it closely. "If it’s just that much, then I think I can do it. Move them out of the path, and then make them go back to sleep once they’re far enough away… Yeah, it’s okay. I can do it."

Subaru:  Hearing that, Subaru turned to everyone else. "It might sound like a flip-flop, but I agree with Ram. There’s certainly a possibility of something different if we go through a different sand time, but if it is demon beasts blocking our way, then at least we have Meili with us."

Beatrice:  "There’s also the possibility that this is better than what we would find anywhere else." Beatrice nodded as well while fixing the hair that Subaru had messed up. "In the end, we have no choice but to rely on Meili. In the worst case, if the demon beasts do wake up, then it will be up to Emilia-tan and Julius—and me and Beatrice. Sorry."

Subaru:  ""

Subaru:  "Whoops, and Patlash. Thanks. I love you, too." His trusty steed made her presence known, and Subaru reached behind to tickle her neck affectionately.

Subaru:  And then Subaru looked at everyone. The demon beasts’ flower garden was right in front of them. They couldn’t afford to take too long to decide, so he started to put it up to a vote…

Emilia:  "—Mm-hmm. I agree with Subaru and Ram. I don’t want to turn back, even for a second." Emilia smiled reassuringly, backing Subaru’s conviction. There was a powerful determination in her purple eyes, and she was looking at the tower that lay beyond the field of flowers.
