Subaru:  "We have a way to draw out the last thirty percent, too.”

Ram:  “…The enemy is seventy percent crushed? Barusu, are you are saying that you destroyed them?” She was taken aback upon hearing the words.

Subaru:  He’d conveyed the state of the battle with the aim of changing the subject. In modern warfare, losing 30 percent of your fighting strength was considered being routed, but even in an age without modern logistics, 70 percent was a considerable number. The Witch Cult was on the verge of being wiped out. “But where they’re concerned, they’ve gotta be annihilated down to the last man. Besides, the fewer they are, the more time it’ll take to find ’em. Plus, it might make them desperate.”

Ram:  “So that is why you assembled the transportation needed to evacuate… Holing up in the mansion is a poor plan, I take it?”
human
Subaru:  “These guys would set it on fire and not even blink. We have a lot of memories of that mansion, so I don’t wanna see it go up in smoke. Easy to understand why running is better, huh?” Along with the reinforcements he’d brought were the horde of traveling merchant dragon carriages. When he explained the force’s various objectives.

Ram:  Ram closed her eyes, sinking into thought. It was natural for her to be bewildered by it all—and yet: “Sorry to act out of turn, but this is my decision. As for the right to decide…Roswaal’s not at the mansion, is he?”
human
Subaru:  “—That’s right. Right now, Master Roswaal is traveling to Garf’s…to the sanctuary. Currently, I am under instructions to obey Lady Emilia’s commands.”

Ram:  “Did Emilia order you to smack anyone approaching the village with illusions?”
human
Subaru:  “That was my independent judgment.”
gpt
Ram:  “Figures.”
human
Subaru:  Subaru patted his chest, relieved at the fact. Even if she was backed into a corner, it would have been far too violent an order for Emilia to give. “…You are naive to be relieved about that part, Barusu.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Ah?”
human
Ram:  “I said, the village has come into view.” Subaru hadn’t caught her murmur the first time, so he thought Ram had repeated her words as she pointed forward. At her urging.

Subaru:  Subaru turned his eyes to the road ahead; the entrance to Earlham Village truly was within view. The highway, continuing to infinity within the illusion, had come to an end. To Subaru, it had been a very long road, enough to make the proper return a sight for sore eyes. “I’m finally back…” Not once but twice had he returned to find the village a tragic sight. When he had returned to the village before that, Subaru’s mind had been whittled down to the bone. So to him, this was a first. “But…doesn’t feel like there’s much of a welcome.” The expeditionary force passed through the entrance, entering the village square. Amid that imposing atmosphere, the villagers poked their heads out of the surrounding homes one after another.
