Beatrice:  “Come to mention it, I hadn’t seen him before getting back to the mansion, either. Since we left Crusch’s, maybe?”

Emilia:  “Mm…since we returned to the mansion, maybe. I really wanted to talk to him about the Sanctuary, but I don’t feel like my voice is reaching him.”

Subaru:  “Does Puck normally disappear from time to time?”
gpt
Emilia:  “Errr, it happened a lot before he and I formed our pact…but the frequency’s reeeally gone down since then. Not meeting him for several days makes me a little concerned.”

Subaru:  Subaru folded his arms as Emilia broached the subject of Puck prior to their pact. It was obvious, but there had been a time before Emilia and Puck were linked. He’d always seen the two together, so imagining them acting separately really didn’t seem right to Subaru, but—

Subaru:  “Do you know where Puck goes when he’s not by your side?”
human
Emilia:  “I think he’s probably doing something for the sake of world peace.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Sounds like a little girl with fantasies about her dad’s work, but if he ain’t here, that’s the least of our problems.” Setting Emilia’s exaggerated expectations aside, she was the most precious thing to Puck in the entire world. The idea of him abandoning her to run off and do stuff somewhere sounded downright strange.

Subaru:  “Plus with Puck not here, I’m straight-up worried about our combat strength. Otto isn’t exactly a master of the fighting arts, and my insides are all rattling around. Emilia-tan, it’s tough for you without Puck here, right?”
gpt
Emilia:  “Subaru, it’s reeeally hard to set aside hearing that your insides are rattling around, but…” When Emilia gave him an exaggerated stare, Subaru gave a vague smile and waved her off with a hand.

Emilia:  “Goodness…! But relax. Even if Puck isn’t with me, I have my contracts with the minor spirits. Those children can fight, too, so I’ll protect you no matter what happens.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Whoa, that’s a real man’s line…! Just wait, someday I’m gonna be able to say that with a straight face.”
human
Emilia:  “I know. I’ll wait, I’m reeeally looking forward to it.” She raised a finger, and faintly glowing minor spirits floated all around Emilia. Subaru figured that, compared to Puck’s, their power was like Earth compared to Heaven, but even so, they had fine combat strength on their own.

Subaru:  “As for ‘no matter what happens’…Frederica warned us, didn’t she?”
human
Emilia:  “About Garfiel, yes.” Emilia shared Subaru’s concerns, lowering her voice as her lips spoke the name. Garfiel was the name that they’d heard repeatedly from Frederica’s lips over the last two days, the person they needed to be wary of. As a matter of fact, Subaru had heard the name itself several times before that.
