Emilia:  “Let’s ask.”

Emilia:  “Lady Emilia?” Unable to watch Subaru struggle anymore with the roiling emotions of suspicion and faith, Emilia stepped forward. Not listening to Ram, she took a deep breath.

Emilia:  “Hey, you! Are you Shaula? Or not?”

Emilia:  “”

Emilia:  “…Ah, right. You might not be able to talk. Then raise your right hand if you are Shaula, and raise your left hand if you aren’t! That way, we can tell.” Out of consideration for the silent scorpion, Emilia tried to talk first. She could unleash a completely merciless attack on Batenkaitos, but she was fundamentally a pacifist, so perhaps it was more accurate to say her personality was full of mystery. The response to her request was—

Ram:  “—Lady Beatrice!”

Beatrice:  “I know!” Immediately sensing danger, Ram looked over her shoulder, but Beatrice was already reacting. Light streamed from her raised arms, and a crystal clad in a purple light appeared in the air. The next instant, the crystal was shattered by a white light that hit it directly, creating a furious dance of light in the passage.

Subaru:  “Whooooaaa? !”

Ram:  “Get your head down! It’ll be bad if it hits!” The shimmering white and purple lights flew wildly as the peal of shattering glass echoed in the air. Behind that magnificent, eye-searing spectacle, Subaru could see that the beam of light that had laid Gluttony low had come from the scorpion’s sharp tail. Beatrice used her magic to protect Subaru, deflecting, redirecting, and batting aside dozens of shots aimed right at them. Moreover, an overwhelming amount seemed to be targeting Subaru specifically.

Subaru:  “Does she have a grudge against me or something? !”

Subaru:  “Maybe it’s because you were always so cold to her! Try apologizing!”
gpt
Subaru:  “I’m sorry! My bad! It’s my fault! Please forgive me! How’s about now? !” The shock waves rolled over their bodies as Beatrice and Subaru clung together. He tried following her valuable advice and apologized, but the white flashes didn’t abate. But if the focus of the attack was still trained right on them…

Emilia:  “Just aiming at Subaru is mean. Don’t bully the weak!” Emilia shouted and ran down the passage, slashing at the scorpion with a longsword of ice. Parrying the attack with its giant pincer, the scorpion skittered its legs as it retreated at high speed. However, Emilia gave chase with a beautiful ice attack, determined not to let it escape.

Emilia:  “Teya! Ey! Uryaa!” A longsword, twin blades, a spear, and a war hammer that Emilia summoned shattered one after the other with a high-pitched sound. Silver hair fluttered amid the countless resulting ice fragments. In response to that waltz of ice, the scorpion’s strategy was simple. Flailing wildly with its pincers and tail, it shattered Emilia’s weapons and tried to tear her apart. A person and a monster. A fairy and a beast.
