Subaru:  “No, don’t get depressed.”

Emilia:  “…Emilia-chan?” Emilia took a step forward and shattered the darkening mood. There was an earnest light in her purple eyes as she looked between Subaru and Ram.

Emilia:  “We have to keep it together, all the more so in a situation with such a hodgepodge of terrible things. Echidna and Julius and the others are doing their best right now.”

Emilia:  "And we have to have a proper talk with Shaula, too, right?” Emilia was single-mindedly positive, incapable of standing still, managing to pull Subaru up whenever he was on the verge of stumbling. And not just this time. Last time. And the time before. And not just Subaru. It had probably been the same for the other Subaru Natsuki as well.

Emilia:  “Mm, all right! Let’s get fired up! Beatrice, cheek me!”
gpt
Beatrice:  “Ch-cheek you? What would you have Betty do?”
human
Emilia:  “Give me a slap!”
gpt
Beatrice:  “Horyaa!” While Subaru was feeling moved, Emilia had an unreasonable ask for Beatrice. Beatrice went along with the request and gave Emilia a solid slap with both hands. There was a crack, and Emilia groaned a little bit.

Emilia:  “All right, thank you, Beatrice. Do you want me to do it for you?”
gpt
Beatrice:  “If you did that, Betty’s neck would be torn off, so thank you, but no thank you.”
human
Emilia:  “Ha-ha, silly Beatrice.” Emilia laughed like it was just teasing, but Beatrice’s eyes were serious. Either way, though, watching the two of them, Subaru realized that some of the tenseness in his shoulders had slipped away. It wasn’t as if it was okay to relax completely, but getting too tense was also a problem.

Ram:  “Lady Emilia is relaxed… Not that she ever isn’t, though.”

Subaru:  “I don’t think you’re one to talk, tho—owww!”
gpt
Ram:  “Stop saying such rude things. So what now?” Pinching Subaru’s neck from ultra-close range, Ram already seemed like she was back to her usual self. Subaru’s eyes watered a bit as he nodded and focused his attention on his perception again. He also wanted to talk things through with Shaula. Unfortunately, that wasn’t their top priority. Should we rendezvous with Echidna and the non-combatants, or check on Meili to see what happened when Shaula left?

Subaru:  “—Huh?” Subaru was dumbstruck as he expanded the range of his sixth sense to search for contacts around the tower. The ones who had not moved from their holding positions were fine. He could understand that the Shaula giant scorpion was probably healing its wounds, too. But a different entity was moving through the tower at an absurd speed.
gpt
Subaru:  “—Above.”
human
Ram:  “Get back, Barusu!” The goose bumps he felt turned to confidence when he heard Ram’s warning. Obeying, he leaped backward while still carrying her, at the exact moment the ceiling he was looking up at—the cracked ceiling almost destroyed by the explosion—split diagonally. An instant later, a shock wave turned the stone that made up the tower into dust.
