Roswaal:  One of the children Barusu and Rem supposedly brought back from the forest vanished from the village the next day. When she’d asked about the girl with braids who the two had brought back, they had said the villagers all claimed they didn’t know the girl. According to the children, she became part of their group at some point, but they couldn’t say when. When she pressed further, they told her that it was that girl who had first brought the demon beast pup to the village, and it was she who had later brought the children past the barrier with her into the forest. She was all but certain that girl had been the ringleader. First the Bowel Hunter in the royal capital, now the Beast Mage here. Certainly a strange cast of characters.

Roswaal:  "Ram, I have always tooold you…" Roswaal lifted her chin with a finger, turning her face toward his with a smile. "You and Rem are among those beings precious to me, so few I can count them on one hand. Indeed, if some terrible fate had befallen you in this incident, I am not confident I could have restrained myself." His finger remained on Ram’s chin as the dramatic words Roswaal tossed at her put an enthralled look on her face. Heat seemed to fill Ram’s eyes as she gazed at Roswaal from close up.

Roswaal:  "Yes, to me, you and Rem are precious, vital, and irreplaceable…" As their words piled upon one another, so did their feelings as Roswaal beheld Ram with his yellow eye, pausing for a brief moment…

Roswaal:  "...pawns." Roswaal spoke to Ram in theatrical style. His words did not carry the slightest hint of guilt, for he was stating what he regarded as pure truth.

Ram:  "...Yes." Her cheeks reddened as she nodded back. Ram’s demeanor was perfectly docile and full of adoration as Roswaal pulled her even higher on his lap.

Roswaal:  "Nooow, then, shall we begin? You pushed yourself quite considerably, yes? You are quite mana-depleted, even though I told you to take it easy."

Ram:  "I am very sorry… Please." Ram untied the headdress atop her pink hair as she acknowledged Roswaal’s words.
