Subaru:  "So what should I do first? Draw a magic circle? If you need a sacrifice, can I volunteer Beako?"

Puck:  "I’m happy you seem to be getting along better with Betty. Yes, first, how about I see what affinity you are, Subaru? That’s the first step to knowing what kind of magic you can use."

Subaru:  Subaru’s expression, buoyant until that moment, instantly died when he heard Puck’s suggestion. "My…affinity…is probably…‘fire’…?" Subaru shook his head in robotic fashion.

Emilia:  "Why the sudden pauses…?"
human
Subaru:  Subaru simply lowered his eyes.

Puck:  Puck leaped off Emilia’s shoulder and hovered in front of Subaru’s face as he stretched his tail. "All right, let’s check. Myon myon myon myon…"
human
Subaru:  "I know the weirdo nobleman did the same thing, but isn’t that, like, overkill?!" The tip of Puck’s long tail swished across Subaru’s forehead as his mouth made the accompanying sound effects. Subaru wallowed in apprehension as he awaited the scan’s verdict. "Wait, I should think positively about this. Thinking back on it, Roswaal’s behavior was unnatural, wasn’t it? Right, he was jealous of the hidden magical talent within me. Yeah, it was jealousy. That’s why he tried to convince me to just give up—"

Puck:  "Wow, this is rare. Your affinity’s pure Dark."
human
Subaru:  "Farewell, my magic-using life—!" Subaru wailed at crossing into another dimension only to be blacklisted by someone else. His glittering future was now closed, with the curtain rising on Subaru’s life as nothing more than a debuffer. "So all I need to do is practice saying, ‘I’ve turned their defense to paper! Go, NOW!’ Ha-ha-ha…"
gpt
Puck:  "Ah, you have no talent at all, either. Your gate’s small; at least the number is kind of okay…? But there’s barely any opening, so not much is coming through."
human
Subaru:  "Shut up, I know that already! Incidentally, what does that talent thing mean, by the numbers?"
gpt
Puck:  "If you spent twenty years in daily training, you might become a high-end second-rate magic user."
human
Subaru:  "So I’d devote half my life and still come up short of top tier… I think I’d better give up now…"
gpt
Emilia:  Emilia finally wore an exasperated look when she heard Subaru hold back tears as he gave up on his dream.
human
Subaru:  "I just want to try the magic demonstration. What do I have to do?"
gpt
Puck:  "Since it’s Dark affinity, Lia can’t handle it. How about something simple, like Shamak?"
human
Emilia:  "Ah, a magic smoke screen? I’ve never seen it myself."
