Subaru:  There was the guy who acted like he led the village, Muraosa, and the old woman who engaged in perverse behavior while laughing and saying, “Got me youth back, got me youth back.” The two young men wore identical faces; they’d frequently butted Subaru’s shoulders, perhaps out of jealousy for being so close with the twin sisters. “I had to lead Muraosa to the john when he started flaking out… Now that I think about it, all of them touched me somehow. That’s kind of suspicious…” But all of them were native villagers through and through. They didn’t fit the profile. “That being the case, guess I’d better just hang around the same places…” Subaru sighed at himself for his lack of any better idea.

Subaru:  Subaru twisted his neck to see the multiple silhouettes glomping onto his back. They were children who had raced to reach Subaru first before he’d even set foot into the village. There were seven in all, not just latched onto his back but his legs and hips, too. Subaru, not finding the weight excessive for his build, cracked his neck. “I’ve got a connection with you across time and space or something…”

Subaru:  “Quit it about the tummy ache, geez. You make it sound like I’ve got diarrhea or something.” As Subaru spoke, the children all burst into laughter. No doubt it was less about his joke than the word diarrhea being funny in and of itself. Apparently, hopping worlds didn’t change the fact that kids of that age thought the cruder, the funnier. “And I’ve got kids all over me, just like old times…” The kids on his back were pulling on his cheeks. Subaru could only slump his shoulders at being a brat magnet. “Why is it I get along great with brats and the elderly? I mean, it’s like it’s the only good point I have in this world.” He twisted his body to nuzzle the kids riding his back.

Children:  Voices calling, “Me next! Me next!”

Subaru:  Subaru heard merry cries behind him as he marched around the village, children in tow. At the time, Subaru was moving around by himself. Not that he actually was alone, but Ram and Rem were not with him. When they’d arrived at the village, the maid sisters hurried off to go shopping, leaving ominous statements behind them.

Ram:  "Sister, Sister. Let us gather all the light things."

Rem:  "Rem, Rem. Let us leave all the heavy things for Barusu."

Subaru:  Subaru had said he wanted to have a look around the village, so no doubt they were being considerate, but he really did wish one of them had stayed with him. That way, the kids would have happily jumped onto her.
