Subaru:  “If we can get Emilia and everyone on dragon carriages, they should be able to make a clean getaway.”

Ferris:  “If Lady Emilia and the others escape, we can concentrate on subjugating the Witch Cult without any worries about the future. It’s really hard to fight with a weak point like that on your shoulders, meow. Especially for Ferri and Subawu.”

Subaru:  “Hurts to hear that…but that’s how it is.” Having received Ferris’s dry approval, Subaru asked for any objections to the plan. Fortunately, with time so precious, no objections were raised, so Subaru slapped his knee and made the call. “Thanks, big help. We’ll take the traveling merchants with us and all go to the village. No leaving me behind, okay?”

Julius:  “From here, there is no telling when the remaining Sloths might attack. Your eyes will be irreplaceable, yes?”

Subaru:  With Julius’s roundabout assent, the expeditionary force’s plan was set.

Traveling merchants:  “Ohh. So you’re finally calling on us, then. It’s a relief to get some work.” As it turned out, the traveling merchants were unexpectedly eager when they finally received the order to move out. Sitting and waiting seemed to suit them poorly. Everything about the Witch Cult was, as usual, shrouded in mystery. But with the current setbacks, there was no option but to rely on their hauling capacity to fulfill Subaru’s long-delayed goal.

Subaru:  “Sorry to keep you waiting, too, Patlash… Hey, don’t be that angry, geez.”

Patlash:  “—” Patlash, left behind at camp while Subaru walked through the forest without her, was quite miffed at Subaru. The pitch-black land dragon turned her sharp, refined face aside, thoroughly sulking when Subaru called her.

Subaru:  “Er, I mean, it was the middle of a forest? If you tripped and broke a leg there’d be no coming back, you know?”

Wilhelm:  “This breed of land dragon, known as the Diana breed, is the highest breed of all land dragons. There are dragons specific to desert or arctic climes, but the excellent Diana breed can handle any terrain.”
human
Subaru:  “Eh? Any terrain, what, you mean forests, too?”
gpt
Wilhelm:  “Forests, deserts, waterside, or glacier.” Wilhelm’s lofty appraisal left Subaru gaping in wonder. He’d picked the land dragon based on his first impression, but apparently, she excelled more than he’d ever imagined. Perhaps that should have been obvious given Patlash’s intelligence and ability.

Ferris:  “After all, it takes a pretty decent noble house to buy a girl like her, meow.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Hey, stop that! Don’t talk about price! That’s gonna stick in my head!” Ferris smiled as Subaru raised his voice, feeling almost afraid to mount the dragon. But Subaru thought that smile was gloomier than one from Ferris’s usual self. Subaru, largely able to fathom the reason why, stood beside his land dragon and lowered his voice. “Sorry, making you act considerate to me like this.”

Ferris:  “—What is it all of a sudden? Did you eat something bad? Should I heal you?”

Subaru:  “Don’t paper over it. You said it yourself."
