Subaru:  But that wouldn’t be enough for the menace to pass and everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. As the oiran bear slowly turned, the land dragon right in front of it breathed raggedly. Dealing with the overwhelming pressure of staring down the demon beast at close range and the scent of the flowers that made it so difficult to focus—the land dragon’s composure was steadily being worn down, and when that last thread frayed and broke, it would lose control. If Subaru couldn’t stop it, then he would be destined to repeat the same death. I have to stop it from panicking. But how? He couldn’t raise his voice. It was difficult to convey the situation to Julius, who was holding the land dragon’s reins. —There’s no time. Without a eureka moment in the next second, he would just have to roll the dice and call out to Julius. The last death had involved a stampede of demon beasts and the light from the watchtower…and Beatrice’s tears—

Subaru:  "—Beako, I love you." Hugging her small body from behind, he whispered in her ear.

Beatrice:  "—? !" Beatrice was shocked by that unprompted confession, but his hand was covering her mouth so she couldn’t say anything.

Subaru:  Instead, Subaru reached a hand out to the dragon in front of him—toward Joseph. A hand to gently soothe it, just like how he had wiped a tear from Beatrice’s cheek before he died. —Invisible Providence. He was busy telling Beatrice he loved her, so he just said the ability’s name in his mind. All of a sudden, in the center of his chest—it was a different feeling from when Beatrice was helping him channel mana—the black power was exuberant when he called it forth. An otherworldly invisible hand cheered at the opportunity to accomplish a noble task in slothful Subaru Natsuki’s stead. “” The black limb slowly reached out from Subaru’s chest toward the land dragon. Just like the original, no one was capable of seeing the hand other than Subaru. While feeling relieved at that, he also felt something inside himself being torn away. It was unclear what price had to be paid, but he knew instinctively that he couldn’t take too long. And he had no intention of doing so, either. The slender, outstretched hand gently patted the thick neck of the land dragon that was on the verge of losing control. He had only learned that was the best way for calming down this species of land dragon the morning before they set out into the sands. I never would have expected to use it in a situation like this, but I guess I should pay attention to what people are saying all the time. The land dragon shuddered at someone suddenly touching him, but he instinctively recognized that the hand didn’t harbor any ill will. His ragged breathing gradually calmed, and the tension left his body.
