Subaru:  “Supervising them is aaalso your role.”

Ram:  “Yes, Master.”

Subaru:  Subaru was about to say something snarky, but he was silenced by Ram’s razor-sharp gaze. After buckling, Subaru turned his attention to the person next to Ram. Rem was dressed in clothes for going out and was being pushed by Petra in a wheelchair—something that Subaru had re-created using his memories from his original world. The Roswaal Manor was quite near Castour, the famed industrial hub of Lugunica. Using the skills of their craftsmen, Subaru was able to create yet another product of his otherworldly knowledge.

Subaru:  “The maintenance is gonna be tricky on such a long journey, but I’ll take care of it.”

Ram:  “You are quite handy, Master Subaru, and the craftsmen indicated it should be sturdy so long as it is not handled recklessly. However, take care in sand.”

Petra:  “Please be careful, Su…Master Subaru. Please take care of Rem.”

Subaru:  With Frederica’s seal of approval, Petra let Subaru take control of the wheelchair. Moving around behind Rem, he confirmed there was no problem moving over flat ground. “Okay, feels fine. Frederica, Petra, you two hold down the fort while we’re gone.”

Frederica:  “Leave the master to us.”
human
Petra:  “Mr. Otto and Mr. Garf, too.” Frederica and Petra nodded as Subaru double-checked the wheelchair. This time, the trip was estimated to take about two months at a minimum, so most likely Otto would recover in Pristella and make his way back to the manor before they returned. Trusting the two of them to hold down the fort until then, Subaru pushed the wheelchair toward the carriage. “All right. I’m reluctant to go, but I guess it’s about time.”

Ram:  “—Barusu.” Suddenly, Ram’s voice hit Subaru in the back of the head.

Subaru:  “Huh? What is it? Something bothering you?”
gpt
Ram:  “No, not that… Figure it out.”
human
Subaru:  “Figure it out…?” He furrowed his brow at that, and then he realized that her gaze was focused on his hands. In other words, at Rem’s wheelchair. “If you want to switch with me, then just say so.”
gpt
Ram:  “Considering what it means that I’m coming with you and what that means about my goal, it should be obvious that you should yield that to me… Though you figured it out without needing me to say it, which I guess should be considered a small mark in your favor.” Subaru reluctantly let Ram take his place, and she pushed the wheelchair in his stead. She moved slowly toward the carriage as if nursing her sister, who was sleeping in the chair. Watching the two of them, he suddenly felt someone grasp his newly freed hand.

Beako:  “You don’t have to look so pathetic. It’s not as if your feelings lose out to how her older sister feels. I suppose you should just do what you can in your own way.”

Subaru:  “I’m not depressed about th… No, I guess maybe I am.” Subaru had not expected that it would feel like his role had been stripped away, but he couldn’t help it.
