Subaru:  "I cry out, and you fly out—"

Puck:  "With a meow-meow-meowww!" With a boisterous response to Subaru’s call, particles of light gathered in Subaru’s hand. The light immediately took the shape of a small cat as the palm-sized cat Puck jumped onto Beatrice’s hand. Puck washed his face, his beady black eyes brimming with mischief. "Lia requested it, and I’m helping out because I agree with it, but…Subaru? I’m surprised how roughly you handle cats."
gpt
Subaru:  "Well, there’s a saying in my homeland about needing a cat’s help when you’ve got your hands full—and this cat just happens to be helpful in so many ways." Subaru did come to Puck for help comparatively often, both for his usefulness and amicability. And he wound up asking for Puck’s help this time, too. And the result—

Beatrice:  "Aww… Oh, Puckie, you’re so cute and fluffy—you’re Betty’s ideal, I suppose." As expected, Beatrice melted when she caught Puck in her hand. As she girlishly blushed over the little kitty.

Subaru:  "You’re so predictable you’re almost a walking cliché, but if you win the bet, you’ll win Puck Petting Privileges for a day. I’ve already gotten both his and his guardian’s permission."

Puck:  "To clarify, I am Lia’s guardian. Don’t get that wrong." Puck demanded, his tail standing straight.

Beatrice:  "N-not a bad reward. I suppose you have good sense now and then." That aside, Beatrice nodded eagerly at Subaru’s offer.

Subaru:  "I’m seriously worried that some guy is gonna take advantage of you when you grow up."

Beatrice:  "Did I sense some snark?"

Subaru:  "Nope, just your imagination. Now, if I win…you’ll add sending people off and welcoming them home to your list of duties. And not just for Roswaal—this applies to anybody in this mansion."
gpt
Beatrice:  Her expression changed sharply when Subaru added this provision to the agreement. Naturally, she had suspected the conversation would take this sort of turn. Her eyes were deep with fatigue.

Subaru:  "I won’t enforce this for little shopping trips to town. But in times like this, when everyone else in the household assembles to send someone off or welcome someone home, you’ll be there, too. No need to go out of your way to be a wet blanket, right?"
gpt
Beatrice:  "I truly…truly fail to see why you are so obsessed with this." Beatrice stared thoughtfully at Puck, but she quickly resigned herself. Floating to the floor from her stepladder, she marched over to Subaru. "Fine. Tell me the conditions of the wager."
human
Subaru:  "So you’re fine with taking the punishment if you lose?"
gpt
Beatrice:  "It doesn’t matter because I won’t lose, I suppose. Now, the conditions." There was an exasperated quiver in Beatrice’s lips—agreeing to Subaru’s proposal angered her on a visceral level.

Subaru:  Before she could change her mind, Subaru turned to look at the door behind him. "The rules are simple: a game of tag—well, double tag, actually."

Beatrice:  "Tag…?"
