Subaru:  "It doesn’t have to be you, does it? You could just leave it to someone else…someone stronger. Like, why not the master? He seems like he has plenty of free time.”

Subaru:  “I can understand your daily frustration with Roswaal, but let’s not actively look for excuses to kick him out of the house. I’m worried about the friction in our camp.” Subaru could overlook Petra doing something like wringing out a rag in Roswaal’s tea, but anything more than that and he wouldn’t be able to stand idly by. Bombs had to be defused before they went off. That was the iron law in all games with affection meters.

Subaru:  But Petra’s eyes were serious as she talked about how much he worried her, so he didn’t want to make a joke of it. He didn’t want to disrespect Petra with a half-assed evasion or a stalling tactic when she was being serious. “I understand why you’re worried. The desert we are going to is supposed to be crawling with demon beasts and is apparently the Guinness World Record holder for thickest miasma, too. And to top it off, I heard that this Sage isn’t a people person and has been turning away visitors for some four hundred years running… But even so, I can’t just let myself leave this to someone else.”

Petra:  “Why? You can’t possibly believe you are actually strong, can you, Master Subaru? It’s already more than enough for Mr. Garf to have such a shameful misunderstanding.”

Subaru:  “Your grading curve is seriously ruthless! Don’t let Garfiel hear you say that!” Petra’s marks were so strict that most guys would shudder if they ever heard how they rated. Viewing the world through her lens, apparently only wisdom merited any respect, and there were practically no points awarded for strength. Petra was particularly hard to please since she wouldn’t share what she considered most important for scoring. “Well, setting Garfiel aside for now…it isn’t as if I think there’s no one better for this job than me. All things considered, the safest thing would be to just leave it all to Reinhard.”

Petra:  “So then why don’t you do that?”

Subaru:  “—Probably because I want to be the first person she sees when she wakes up.”

Subaru:  He didn’t say who he meant, but he didn’t have to for Petra to understand. The girl still deep in slumber—if they could find a way to wake her at the Sage’s tower, then he wanted to be the one to do it. Even if there might be someone else better for the job, even if it was more likely to succeed if someone else did it, he couldn’t yield on that. He didn’t want to. This was Subaru’s ego speaking, and he was perfectly aware of that fact. “If I set aside all emotions, then…it’s not a huge deal who wakes her up.
