Meili:  "And you want to start a fight over that? Or do you want to talk things through? If you don’t decide, I’m not going to keep up with this." Just then Meili chimed in, stopping things there with the mood in the room on the verge of getting dark. Leaning against Shaula’s side, she was listlessly playing with her braided hair while looking around the room. "If possible, could you not fight? I don’t like pain or scary things."

Subaru:  "You… No, you’re right. It’s good having someone who can look at things with an outside perspective."

Meili:  "Really? Heh-heh-heh, then be grateful." Meili smiled a childish, innocent smile befitting her tender youth when Subaru thanked her.

Subaru:  "I’ll be counting on you going forward. It’s important to have someone who can look at things with a cool head."

Meili:  "So you say, but my job ended after we got through the desert, didn’t it? There’s nothing else I can do."

Subaru:  "But the more heads the better. And even if we made it through the desert, we’re all still in the same boat here inside the tower. Just chalk it up as your misfortune and let me rely on you."

Meili:  Meili was taken aback by Subaru’s unvarnished admission of intending to ask her for help. "I can understand why Petra is always worried."

Subaru:  "—? What about Petra?"

Meili:  "Nothing. More importantly, weren’t you going to interrogate the half naked lady?" Meili’s cheeks puffed out as she looked away. She stood up and started pushing Shaula’s back.

Shaula:  Shaula wasn’t going to be moved by those frail arms, but she still excitedly moved forward, kneeling down right in front of Subaru and lowering her head to the floor. "I am a fool, but please take care of me forever."

Subaru:  "Your admirable attitude is appreciated. Then, regarding a betrothal gift… Ow, ow, ow, ow! Emilia?! Beako?! Why are you pinching me from both sides?!"
gpt
Emilia:  "Just because."
human
Beatrice:  "No particular reason."
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru had no intention of being pinched for no reason, but Emilia’s and Beatrice’s moods made him think twice about pressing the point. "A-anyway, there’s no mistaking that guy up there is Reid Astrea. So as a witness who knew him personally, I want to ask you, what sort of person was he?"

Shaula:  "Absolute trash."
gpt
Subaru:  "You said that before, and we have confirmation ourselves having seen him."
human
Shaula:  Shaula’s lips curled into an unpleasant look as she remembered the dead. "We have to get past him somehow. I want to get as many clues as we can for how to clear the second floor’s examination."

Subaru:  "Tell us about anything you can think of, no matter how small."
