Subaru:  Despite my best efforts, I could not discern any sort of organization system that governs how the books are arranged. They do not appear to be sorted by name or chronologically.

Emilia:  “It was already fairly clear they’re not organized by name, but no luck with time, either, huh…?”

Subaru:  Figuring out how the books of the dead were arranged was their one hope for deciphering how to use the Taygeta archive. If there was an easier way to search for specific books, it might have been quite useful. The topic of how books were added had come up in that conversation with Meili, but if they weren’t arranged in any discernible chronological order, then it wasn’t very relevant. “All we know so far is that we don’t know anything. We were wonderin’ what you two found.”

Anastasia:  “Mmmm, sorry. We didn’t find anything on top of the shelves, either…”

Julius:  “Ah, so that’s why you climbed up before. I was wonderin’ what that was about…”
gpt
Anastasia:  Anastasia flashed a slight, wry smile. “May I?”

Julius:  Julius raised a finger as he looked at Emilia. “I suspect it is the same conclusion you reached, but this Taygeta archive is too much for us. We do not have nearly enough time to study everything in such an enormous archive.”
gpt
Emilia:  “Mm-hmm, we were thinking the same thing. That’s why we were looking for the stairs to the next examination.”
human
Julius:  “That is a worthwhile search. However, at the same time, I would like to find some sort of way to make use of this.”
gpt
Emilia:  “…Did you have something in mind then?”
human
Julius:  “Yes, of course. As a proposal, we could raise an army.”
gpt
Julius:  Touching on their extreme lack of people for the task, Julius answered with the straightest of faces. “An army…?”
human
Emilia:  Emilia’s eyes widened in open confusion, but Subaru snapped his fingers.
gpt
Subaru:  “Ahhh, I hadn’t thought about it that way, but that’s totally an option now that the barrier keeping people from coming to the tower has disappeared. And assuming they can clear the demon beast–infested desert…”
human
Emilia:  “…Then they can reach the tower. Even so, it is quite the adventure. However, with the option of throwing people at the problem now available, there is more than enough value in reporting what we have discovered to the kingdom.”
gpt
Emilia:  “The research value is definitely huge… They might be able to fill in a lot of the moth-eaten gaps in the histories you love so much.”
human
Julius:  “That is merely a delightful secondary benefit.” Julius quickly fired back at Subaru’s joke, but then he shook his head. “No, I would be lying if I said I did not have some hope of that possibility. Apologies, my suggestion had selfish motives.”
gpt
Subaru:  “You don’t need to get bent out of shape over it. There’s nothing wrong about selfish motivations. If that’s how you’re taking this, what about someone who moves one hundred percent on ulterior motives like me?
