The adults:  The adults saw and they joined in, with the end result being a huge ruckus with almost half the village’s population pitching in.

Subaru:  “Well, I’ve gotten so popular it scares even me. It’s something fun for the young and old alike. Maybe it really is the secret to living longer!”

Ram:  “I would not know.”

Subaru:  “Geez, that’s a cold brush-off.” Subaru gave Ram’s unimpressed reply an exaggerated reaction.

Children:  “That’s cold, Ramchi!"

Children:  “That’s awful, Ramchi!”

Children:  “You’re scary, Ramchi!”

Ram:  “…You taught these children that manner of address?”
human
Subaru:  “Not so much taught them as, ah, made you more approachable? I mean, if you keep everyone at arm’s length, they can’t see who you really are. That’s a lonely thing… That’s what I think, anyway…”

Ram:  “You certainly have an active mouth. I do not mind, but Rem may not care for it.”

Subaru:  “Remrin?”

Ram:  “Remrin.”

Subaru:  “Remririn.”

Ram:  “—Ah, we kind of…crossed that bridge already.” Hearing from the children that her words of caution had come too late, Ram slumped her shoulders in resignation.

Subaru:  “So, did you look around the village as you desired?”
gpt
Subaru:  “—Yeah, that part went off without a hitch.” Subaru’s cheeks warped into a grin in response to Ram’s question. His stroll around the village to come into contact with the people on his suspect list was a great success. More to the point, Subaru stood out so much that it was he who had the opportunities to touch them this time. “The last, last thing on my to-do list was to high-five the guy with the crew cut after aerobics, and that’s done.” Having touched all the obvious suspects brought him a measure of relief. Now his time in the village was at an end—in other words, time to say bye-bye to the kids. “I’ve got work to do, so get lost, guys. Ahh, what a pity. If I had more time I could’ve played with you some more. Ha-ha-ha, too bad so sad!”

Children:  “He’s smiling!”
gpt
Children:  “He’s laughing!”
human
Children:  “Are you really so happy? !”
gpt
Subaru:  Subaru “regretfully” shook loose of the kids, sticking his tongue out in the face of their complaints. He did not consciously recognize the sense of satisfaction filling him at having regained even such mundane ground with his limited capacity as a human being. Either way, he and Ram were on their way to the rendezvous point with Rem when—

Subaru:  “Ah?” Abruptly, the girl wearing her brown hair in braids tugged on Subaru’s sleeve, her face red. Subaru was surprised, for until that moment, the braided girl had religiously maintained an arm’s-length distance from the other kids while they’d piled onto him together, never entering the fray herself. Subaru crouched so that their gazes were at the same height. “What is it? If you’ve got something to say, I’m happy to listen.”

Girl:  “Err, well… Come over here.” The girl led him by his sleeve to another place. Subaru, guided by the slender hand, looked back at Ram.
