Otto:  Otto’s lips trembled, his mind somewhere else as he managed the reins. His land dragon, sensing the presence of the White Whale, had fallen into a state of terror, exhausting its remaining strength to kick the ground and propel them forward at an unsustainable speed.
gpt
Otto:  The White Whale had sunk into the night, its giant body nowhere to be seen.

Subaru:  “Shit… Just when it starts coming after us, the fog comes out…!” Subaru scowled as he felt cold droplets of sweat on his brow, wiping them off with the palm of his hand.

Subaru:  Subaru looked behind, to the side, and above, searching for any trace of something that resembled a fish. “Rem! Do you see the White Whale? !”
human
Rem:  “I cannot; it is too dark! But…!” Rem replied bitterly to Subaru’s question, but for some reason, she trailed off.
gpt
Rem:  The catching of Rem’s breath tugged at Subaru, but when he tried to look at her, all he could see in the deep mist was a silhouette; he couldn’t tell what was on her face.
human
Subaru:  The mist grew even thicker, to the point that he wasn’t sure where his own hands were.
gpt
Subaru:  When Subaru had first met the White Whale’s gaze, it was bigger in circumference than Subaru’s arms could reach. If the giant eye was anything to go by, the White Whale had to be truly as large as the name implied.
human
Subaru:  It struck him that such a monster was hiding without any sound or sign of its presence, and it was able to swim freely through the night sky.
gpt
Subaru:  They’d lost sight of the White Whale in the deep fog, a fact that aroused even greater terror.

Rem:  “But I believe my preemptive attack struck… It is possible the creature has retreated.”
gpt
Subaru:  That was surely too optimistic.
human
Subaru:  The might of the ice spears Rem had rammed into it with her incantation was on par with the most powerful magic Subaru had yet seen. If he were ever the target, it’d be enough to kill him three times over.
gpt
Subaru:  Perhaps even a gigantic creature like that might hesitate to pursue them too far.

Subaru:  “What happened to the other dragon carriages? !”
gpt
Otto:  “They seem to have scattered and run for it. If you split up and flee the instant the mist arrives, you might be able to escape without the White Whale pursuing—if you’re lucky.”
human
Otto:  No doubt it was standard operating procedure when encountering the White Whale. It made sense.
gpt
Otto:  Certainly, the dragon carriage that had been running parallel to theirs was nowhere to be found. The other vehicles that had followed behind them until that point seemed to have obeyed the unwritten rule and scattered to the winds.
