Subaru:  The gabaou attacking just now was the one that had been letting them ride it for the past few minutes. A betrayal by a shrewd demon beast when the going got rough—that would have made for nice plot development, but the reality was that it had simply reverted to normal, now that Meili’s blessing was no longer in effect. Without her directions, demon beasts were enemies of all people. And there were countless of those demon beasts all around them in this sea of sand.

Subaru:  "Beako! Meili’s hurt bad! You need to heal her!"

Beatrice:  "That’s quite obvious, I suppose! But I’m a little busy for that right this moment."

Subaru:  "Yeah, I know! It was my mistake pushing Meili too much. I’ll cover the tab." Or rather, he had already started making payments, but the interest was piling up fast, and Subaru’s balances were getting strained even after cutting down on his financing for Ram.

Subaru:  "No, this is where I stand my ground. I can’t call myself a man if I don’t—"

Beatrice:  "Fwaaah! I suppose!"

Subaru:  "Whoa?!" Subaru held Meili’s body with gritted teeth as the effects of his authority hit his entire body. Then Beatrice suddenly leaped onto his back. Suddenly having her on his back was a shock to Subaru. Of course, she was as light as cotton candy, so it didn’t slow his flight, but…

Beatrice:  "Stop trying to bear everything alone, Subaru. We’re partners, and Meili is one of our comrades, too. You aren’t the only one who promised to help." Clutching Subaru’s whole head, Beatrice pleaded with him softly.

Subaru:  Subaru fell silent, and with a gentle healing magic, Beatrice performed first aid on Meili’s wounds. He could feel the warm light healing Meili. That warmth was how much Beatrice cared for everyone.

Subaru:  "—Giiiiiii." Behind them, the falling-out with the demon beast allies was rapidly developing. Fortunately, even with Meili’s blessing out of commission, it wasn’t as if the crimson scorpion and the gabaou were suddenly ready to sign a neutrality agreement, and the same seemed true of the other demon beasts, too. The crimson scorpion’s sweeping pincers and tail took down around half the demon beasts chasing them. Of course, the other half were still coming, so they couldn’t just stop and enjoy the sights.

Subaru:  "Our options are…" No, actually nothing, really. Taking in Beatrice’s words, the warmth she felt for Meili—even if that wasn’t enough to get them out of this, there were ways to change the situation. However, he had no idea whether he could pull it off without trying first, and the model for it was the worst one possible, so he was hesitant to try. But…

Beatrice:  "Subaru! If you’re holding back for Betty’s sake, then don’t! And if it’s another reason, then Betty will apologize together with you after all this!"

Beatrice:  "I want to share the joy and the pain with you…so don’t leave Betty behind!"
