Shaula:  Then her expression gradually went from shock to understanding to acceptance and then to deeply moved

Shaula:  “Wooooo! I finally got permission! I don’t have to keep trying to convince people that I’m a profound, mysterious beauty character anymore! Woo-hoo!”

Subaru:  “You weren’t doing any of that to begin with!”

Shaula:  Shaula grinned as she got excited. Her ponytail was swinging wildly, slapping Subaru in the face.

Subaru:  Blocking it with his left hand, Subaru continued by asking, “Anyway, are you the rumored Sage?” That question cut straight to the crux of why they had come to the Pleiades Watchtower in the first place.

Shaula:  Shaula’s face scrunched up like she had bitten something sour. “Um, it’s kinda hard to answer that.”
human
Subaru:  “Hard? Why?”
gpt
Shaula:  “If you’re looking for Shaula, then yep that’s me, the one who loves Master the most. But if you’re looking for Sage Shaula, then I’m not so sure.” A frown appeared as she finally started to actually respond to questions.

Julius:  Likely noticing the same problem, Julius raised his hand. “‘Lady?’ You’re making me blush. I’m not used to titles like that. Just say my name. Lady Shaula is just… Geh-heh.”

Julius:  “Very well, then at your discretion, Ms. Shaula— To this day, the achievements of Sage Shaula have been passed down through the generations by countless people. Is it correct to say that these legends refer to you?”
human
Shaula:  “Weeell, it’s hard to say. I haven’t left this tower in foreeever. Maybe the stories spread in a weird way? Must have if they’re calling me, of all people, a sage.” Shaula cocked her head as she put a finger to her mouth. “Ah, unless Master named someone else Shaula, too. If that other Shaula did something really awesome, then maybe it’s not so weird after all… Did you do that, Master?”
gpt
Subaru:  “Don’t go asking me. Those are false charges, no matter how you cut it.”
human
Shaula:  “Doesn’t look like Master can think of anyone, so I guess I really am the only one named Shaula. It’s the name Master gave me, my name and my name only… Who needs another Shaula anyway.”
gpt
Julius:  “I see. So a troublemaker was spreading falsehoods.”
human
Subaru:  “Don’t look at me while saying that! These are false charges! I’m innocent until proven guilty!” Setting aside the farce currently going on, Shaula didn’t sound like she was lying. Worst-case scenario, that meant the stories that had been passed down through the years might have been wrong.

Anastasia:  While listening to their back-and-forth, Anastasia started fishing around in her oversize purse and pulled out a coin. “Checking your books all of a sudden? Or not, from the looks of it…”
human
Anastasia:  “Well, it is a hobby of mine, and hearing coins jangle is great for helping me brainstorm… But this is something else.
