Subaru:  Subaru twisted his cheeks as he jutted a thumb straight up. “Negotiations were a success. The bet’s been made.”

Otto:  “I am relieved to hear it. Well, I certainly thought he would go along, but tripping up here would have made all the plans for what follows come to naught.”

Subaru:  “You’re quite an optimist…it was plenty possible Roswaal wouldn’t go for it, right?”
gpt
Otto:  “Very little, really. —The Marquis appears to lack experience with losing.”

Subaru:  Subaru went “Aha,” accepting his view as Otto sank his shoulders.

Otto:  Certainly, just as Otto supposed, Roswaal seemed strong in a fight. He was cunning, and he had guts, too. In fact, 80 percent or so of the crises Subaru had been placed in were schemes of Roswaal’s devising.

Otto:  “A human being who schemes that much will not back down, for if he did, it would be none other than himself who he betrays. There is also the fact that it would seem like weakness…”

Subaru:  “Ohh, somehow, you feel really dependable… You haven’t died by any chance, have you?”

Otto:  “I am quite alive! Besides, please stop flattering me. When I let compliments go to my head, I am bound to trip up somewhere soon. I speak from vast experience.”

Subaru:  “Not that I’m one to talk, but that’s some sad experience…” Both of them lost often enough that they could not relax, even if the circumstances seemed to be running smoothly.

Otto:  Either way, Otto had made his own proposals, which had set the stage for the showdown with Roswaal. Of course, in the end, this succeeded only in creating the preliminary conditions, but—

Otto:  “—At least I avoided having to play this game all by my lonesome.”

Subaru:  “For the moment…however, this is still only the first game board. And we must discuss the next…” No temporary sense of accomplishment arose in Otto as he immediately switched over to the next issue at hand. At this point, Subaru crossed his arms and donned a grim face. The creases of his brow displayed his inner discord.

Subaru:  “…Garfiel, huh?”
human
Otto:  Otto led the conversation toward a single answer—namely, the conclusion that Garfiel’s cooperation was necessary and irreplaceable for breaking free of the Sanctuary. To date, Subaru and Garfiel had borne enmity toward each other several times; at times, this descended into killing. Subaru could not forget how his fangs and claws ripped the people dear to him to shreds. Naturally, he had not forgotten his anger, either.

Otto:  “Certainly, he is a moody opponent, but in the present situation, he is the easiest to bring onto our side. His position is different from that of the Marquis, whose views are absolutely irreconcilable with yours. Surely, you understand this, Mr. Natsuki?” The explanation came from none other than Otto, who had been a murder victim himself once. Subaru nodded solemnly. If Subaru ignored his own reluctance, it wasn’t impossible to fight alongside Garfiel. Indeed, Subaru had cooperated with him twice already.
