Anastasia:  A look entered her eyes that seemed ready to welcome an unexpected event with open arms. "You’re… That’s right, you’re Subaru. Emilia’s knight, Subaru Natsuki— So you’re still in the capital, huh? What an unexpected surprise." She was a small girl with soft pale-purple hair. Her narrowed light-blue eyes suggested she had gentle regard for others—but Subaru knew that the girl was avaricious deep down. Even if he was meeting her in a different place, there was no way he could mistake her aura.

Anastasia:  "Anastasia Hoshin…"

Anastasia:  "Mm, I see, you actually remembered me. I was right worried I didn’t make much of an impression back there, so I’m kinda relieved… If you still recognize me after everythin’ that’s happened to you, everyone else should be able to, too." Anastasia smiled as she spoke in a Kansai dia—a Kararagi dialect unfamiliar to his ears.

Subaru:  Subaru, shocked to have bumped into Anastasia, scanned the area. If Anastasia was there, that man had to be somewhere around—

Anastasia:  "Relax, Julius is on other business. He’s not comin’."

Subaru:  “…That so.” Subaru let his discomfort show in his reply once he realized that the reason for his unease was plain as day.

Anastasia:  Anastasia, putting a hand to her mouth in amusement, seemed to be under the impression he held little love for servant or master.

Subaru:  Subaru couldn’t bring himself to think of the unexpected encounter as a golden opportunity. In the first place, there was Julius. Given the antagonism between them at the parade grounds, Subaru assumed joining forces with the Anastasia camp was utterly impossible.

Anastasia:  "Well, you seem to be mostly healed up. I was just a teensy bit worried."

Subaru:  “…Thanks. You seem in pretty good health, yourself.”

Anastasia:  "I’m muddlin’ through, I s’pose."

Mimi:  "Yeah! Muddlin’ through!" The Western-sounding reply to Subaru’s sarcasm made the kitten laugh with amusement. Apparently, she was called Mimi, and she was accompanying Anastasia.

Subaru:  "Should one of the big players in the royal selection be walking around without an escort these days?"

Anastasia:  "I am trying to travel incognito, after all. Is it not working?" Anastasia looked around before showing off her outfit that she had created with the attire of local city girls in mind. Her clothes certainly fit in, but her trademark white fox muffler and huge purse didn’t make for a convincing disguise.

Anastasia:  Apparently, Anastasia gathered as much from Subaru’s look of disbelief and laughed. "Well, how do you hide charm like mine? Besides, if anything happens, I have my very reliable, hard-working deputy captain, so no worries!"

Subaru:  "Reliable…deputy captain…?"

Anastasia:  Anastasia stuck out her rather flat chest in pride as she spoke, but when he saw that she meant Mimi, Subaru adopted a dubious expression.

Mimi:  Mimi, who was shooting the breeze at the different stalls, didn’t look the part at all.

Anastasia:  "I see you don’t believe me, but it’s true. She’s the second-in-command of my private army. I think she’d hold her own against Julius a lot better’n you would."

Subaru:  "…"

Anastasia:  "Ahh, did I make you mad?
