Ram:  "I had truly intended only to whisk the commander away while the others were weighed down…but I never imagined you would be able to break free.” Ram’s words trailed off. She nodded to herself a few times and said.

Ram:  “You probably gained a resistance to the drug. The drug is derived from the leaves in the tea you always drank, after all.”

Subaru:  “I was drinking that poison every time? !”

Ram:  “I am kidding.”

Subaru:  It hadn’t sounded like she was joking, but Subaru did not press the issue further—not purely because he was afraid to know whether it was true or false, but also because he felt the trembling in the arms with which she touched him. Realizing that her trying to break the tension had resulted in him blurting something out in plain sight, he said.

Subaru:  “Sorry I made you put your guard up like that. Whatever the cause, you were pretty serious back there, huh?”

Ram:  “I suppose… Serious enough to be resolved to take my foe down with me. Can I truly trust the gentlemen behind us?”

Subaru:  “Or what, they’ll seize the chance to march on the mansion? A pretty nasty bunch is after the place, after all. Even Crusch doesn’t really want that much trouble.”

Ram:  “…So it is outlaws lurking in the forest that are after Lady Emilia, then.”

Subaru:  “I really did write about that in the letter, y’know…” With Ram unexpectedly hinting at the Witch Cult’s presence, Subaru could only lament the cause of the jumbled circumstances. Upon his opening the lid of his painstakingly acquired insurance, it had turned into the greatest of all traps. However, the singular fact that a blank letter of goodwill had arrived brought a different problem into sharp relief— Namely, that someone out there had swapped his letter of goodwill, aiming to turn Emilia and Crusch against each other.

Ram:  “What happened with the messenger who brought the letter to the mansion?”

Ram:  “We politely granted him our hospitality. After all, I thought that he might prove useful in the event of a prisoner exchange.”

Subaru:  “Prisoner exchange…?” Even if a prisoner exchange with the Crusch camp truly came to pass, the only people from the Emilia camp to have returned were Subaru and Rem. When Subaru thought back to the surprise attack, he remembered that Rem’s first move had been to try to drag Subaru off without a care as to appearances. Perhaps the purpose of that aggressive operation had been to get the “imprisoned” Subaru back. Though even if he asked Ram about it, there was probably no way in hell she’d give him a straight answer. Either way, she already had someone from the most powerful candidate in her grasp. If the messenger proved to be a spy, she would interrogate him, simple as that.

Ram:  “Anyway, you can relax about the enemies hiding in the forest. We’ve already smashed seventy percent of them.
