Subaru:  “Emilia-chan and Ram, and Julius and Shaula aren’t here…?” Subaru furrowed his brow.

Echidna:  “Looks like you woke up, Natsuki.” Echidna touched her light purple hair as she walked over to him.

Meili:  Noticing he was awake, she pursed her lips. “Finally? You’re such a sleepyhead. I was so tired of waiting.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Sleepyhead? That’s a cute turn of phrase… As it happens, I finally made it back from an unexpected life-or-death struggle. Show a little sympathy.”

Echidna:  “An unexpected life-or-death struggle… I would love to know more about that, but while you were sleeping, things started moving here, too. That’s why Julius and the others aren’t here.”

Subaru:  Beatrice, Echidna, and Meili were with Subaru in Taygeta. From the look on Echidna’s face, it was clear she was concerned about the safety of everyone else who wasn’t present.

Echidna:  “You were asleep for almost an hour, I suppose. The other books only took a few seconds, so we were worried that something might have happened to you.”
gpt
Subaru:  “An hour…that…seems to match up with what it felt like to me. What happened out here?”
human
Echidna:  “Shaula noticed something strange. She said something was approaching the tower from outside. She raced away before we could stop her.”

Subaru:  “Something…approaching…”

Echidna:  Prioritizing explaining the situation over double-checking Subaru’s condition, Echidna pointed toward the stairs down to the next floor.

Meili:  “The cool knight chased after her. And then Silver-Hair and the maid went to check on the sleeping girl.” Meili added.

Subaru:  “So that’s why the four of them aren’t here. But it was the right choice to go to Rem.” Subaru nodded.

Echidna:  Seeing his reaction, Echidna furrowed her brow. "Natsuki? From that reaction…is there something you know?”
human
Subaru:  “Ye…ah. There’s no point in hiding it. I’ll skip right to the end.” He had not fully digested everything that had happened in the corridors of memory. But he also knew that Echidna didn’t fully trust him after his losing his memory and having the bond between them reset. That unnecessary suspicion would only be a barrier to them banding together to overcome the unprecedented disaster coming for them. So…? “Well, here it is, no holding back. The plan to read Reid’s book and make a strategy using his past failed. I couldn’t see his past, and this isn’t the time for that anymore.”
gpt
Echidna:  “You couldn’t see his past…? What happened, then?”

Subaru:  “Something got in the way. The Archbishop of Gluttony.”
gpt
All:  “—? !” Everyone’s expression tensed in shock.
human
Subaru:  Archbishop and Gluttony both probably mean something to them. Considering Rem’s and Julius’s situations, that much is obvious. And in the first place, the reason they set out for the Pleiades Watchtower was…

Echidna:  “So, while you were unconscious, you were facing off with the Archbishop of Gluttony? Is that the unexpected life-or-death struggle you were talking about?”
human
Subaru:  “That’s right.
