Subaru:  At the moment, only Subaru and Julius were in front of the inn. Subaru had finished his preparations swiftly, while Julius had arrived in order to see him off. Subaru wanted to meet back up with Emilia and company as soon as possible. He already missed Beatrice’s warmth. "We last met at the honors ceremony, but…how have you been over the past year?"

Julius:  "Stop acting like we’re buddies sharing recent news. Now, what do you know about this Songstress and the guy who’s obsessed with her?"

Subaru:  "I have not actually met them in person, but both are famous individuals here in Pristella. Not a day passes when this city does not hear the Songstress’s voice."

Julius:  "The heck is that about? Is this some recital they hold all the time?"
human
Subaru:  "Hmph. You will soon understand." Subaru grimaced when Julius snorted and flashed that smug smile. Julius’s habit of unnecessarily building suspense only fueled Subaru’s irritation.

Subaru:  "I’ll pay you back for being a pointless pain in my butt some other time… Anyway, what is this Songstress Maniac’s deal? I gotta say I’m not expecting much from meeting him in person."

Julius:  "There’s no need to be concerned; he is a man worth speaking with. However, if I had to warn you about one thing…I believe Lady Emilia would not be a problem, but perhaps it would be wiser not to bring Lady Beatrice with you."

Subaru:  "What is that supposed to mean? !" When Subaru immediately asked for a response, Julius was at a loss for words for once as he quickly averted his gaze. Subaru could sense his distress. Maybe this Songstress Maniac guy had a grudge against spirits?

Subaru:  "If he hurts Beako somehow, I’m not confident I’ll be able to hold myself back."
gpt
Julius:  "No, surely, he would not treat her poorly… She might be the recipient of an excessive welcome, however."

Subaru:  "What do you mean by…? Wait. Don’t tell me he’s a lolicon…?"
gpt
Julius:  "I do not know what you mean by that term, but…" Julius trailed off at the end as he searched for an appropriate word within his own vocabulary. However, even a knight as elegant as he could not magically produce something so elusive. Either way, the true reason for Julius’s concern was clear, causing Subaru to clutch his head.

Subaru:  "My mentor was already a handful as far as troublesome lolicons go…" Really, Clind had an aesthetic all his own. Subaru was mostly troubled by the fact that Clind and the Songstress Maniac might well have something in common. Clind prized youthfulness and treasured the childish spirit. In other words, someone with a youthful appearance but a mature mind would be of no interest whatsoever. Accordingly, Clind did not find Ryuzu appealing at all; in contrast, he held Emilia in high regard. Furthermore, he practically treated Beatrice like a princess.
