Subaru:  When he saw the view from the high ground overlooking the expanse, his jaw dropped. He was completely dumbstruck. Because…

Subaru:  “—Huh?”
human
Narration:  Black smoke was rising from a camp swathed in flame—the imperial field camp was on fire.
gpt
Narration:  The battle cries he heard were a victory song that shook the very air itself.

Subaru:  “Agh!! !”
gpt
Narration:  The dark-skinned women warriors with bows on their back, rampaging all across the battlefield, roared, singing a song like he had never heard. The Shudrak people’s surprise attack had pushed the imperial army’s camp to the brink of collapse. The soldiers no longer had even the means to resist, and could only flee in terror as they were brought down one after the other.

Subaru:  “This is…”

Abel:  “Turning the tables and going on the offensive, stealing the enemies’ weapons, burning their medical supplies, and targeting their commanders with precision. Without its hands or head, the body can do nothing but flee without concern for appearances. The would-be swordwolf is a pathetic sight.”
human
Narration:  Subaru could see imperial soldiers down below, scrambling in flight, driven by the black smoke and great bows. But they couldn’t escape the Shudrak who survived by hunting in the jungle. Able to see into the distance, their arrows struck the fleeing soldiers’ backs, piercing their hearts with precision. How many people had escaped? How many had survived? How many had died?

Subaru:  “This is…”

Abel:  “Why are you speechless, Subaru Natsuki? Your wish has been achieved by your comrades, using the information you provided. If you cannot smile now, then when can you smile?”
gpt
Narration:  As he peered down at the camp that had turned into a battleground, Subaru’s mind drifted. Abel forcibly affirmed the reality of the situation and spoke as if this was exactly what Subaru had wished for. Unable to bear it, Subaru grabbed Abel’s shirt front with his newly healed right hand.

Subaru:  “You think I wanted this? This… This?! Don’t give me tha—”
gpt
Abel:  “Did you think your wish could be fulfilled without bloodshed?”
human
Subaru:  “Ngh!”
gpt
Narration:  Cut to pieces by Abel’s tranquil gaze and sharp tongue, Subaru fell silent. He couldn’t say anything to that. He had thought it was possible to do things without bloodshed. Had thought he could do it, even. Since…
human
Abel:  “Allow me to rephrase my question, Subaru Natsuki. Did you believe that your wish could be fulfilled without spilling any blood other than your own?”
gpt
Subaru:  “—Ah.”
human
Abel:  “An absurd thought. A foolish and incorrigible belief. Did you really think that people who are fighting and have no relation to you would be stopped if you simply spilled your own blood? That is even more malignant than your meaningless heroic aspirations. It is pure delusion.”

Narration:  Abel showered Subaru with blows as the strength slipped from Subaru’s hand, holding Abel’s shirt.
