Meili:  "I tamed it in advance on the off chance something like this happened. It was supposed to be for sneaking away, but I messed up that.” Meili stuck out her tongue.

Subaru:  Subaru’s surprise wasn’t so much from the worm, but from the fact that he recognized it. It was the demon beast he had encountered when he tried to flee from the tower. Thinking back on it, he had run into trouble when it leaped out of the ground, too. The image of it being blown away by a white light afterward was also in the corner of his mind. So that worm was Meili. And the light was Shaula? He was a little slow to pick up on it, between the shock and awe, but as Meili acted tough, Subaru reached out a hand and roughly tousled her hair while she couldn’t defend herself.

Meili:  “Wah, ah, stop it!”

Subaru:  “I don’t know if it’s your nature or just a habit, but you don’t have to put up an act. I don’t believe you were planning to leave us behind and run.”

Meili:  “Mrgh, how can you say that?”

Subaru:  “Because I was you and you were me. Everyone’s different and everyone’s special.”

Meili:  “Huh?” Meili looked completely lost, and Subaru had no intention of explaining. At a fundamental level, Subaru could see through her deceit. Because he had seen her memories as if they were his own, he was the person who knew her best in this world. Still resting his hand on her head, Subaru scrutinized the situation they were in this time. He finally learned why the demon beasts had been pouring into the tower in the last loop. There had probably been a stampede just like this, and the reason Julius had been fighting the centaurs running wild on the lower floor was because Shaula couldn’t handle them all. That wouldn’t happen this time, because… "Captain Meili was missing due to an unforeseen accident last time, but she’s here now! Which means…”

Subaru:  —It was possible to have Julius deal with a different problem. Realizing that, Subaru understood that they would need to put the right people in the right places if they had any hope of dealing with all the problems cropping up right now.

Subaru:  —And Reid Astrea, who would start roaming freely around the tower. “On our side, we’ve got me and Beatrice, Emilia-chan and Ram. Meili and Shaula, and Echidna and Julius…” Subaru started going through their active roster.

Echidna:  “Are you going to include the two land dragons and the healing spirit in the green room?”

Subaru:  Nodding, Subaru mentally added Patlash and the big ground dragon down below to the list as well. She’s right.
