Subaru:  “If…” Subaru was about to suggest that he could mediate to create a space for them to talk, but he caught himself. It was true that they might have been able to avoid a fight if he could do that, but it was probably impossible for Subaru to make that happen anymore. As far as Todd and the rest of the squad in the jungle were concerned, Subaru was the person who had led them into a trap with a demon beast. They would never trust him, and it would be asking too much to hold out any hope of that. Subaru had already weighed them in the balance against Rem and chosen to put them in harm’s way for the sake of saving Rem. He couldn’t run from that choice. “Sorry, let me correct what I said. It is true that they are after all of you. And they set up camp with a large number of people, so if it comes to a fight…”

Mizelda:  "You're saying we'd lose?"

Subaru:  He had been about to say there was no denying the Shudrak would be at a disadvantage based on their numbers and the strategies both sides could employ. But Mizelda’s quiet voice interrupted him. “Ah…” Subaru realized he had chosen his words poorly. The Shudrak were probably a tribe of hunters. They polished their skills for the hunt and were always improving. To tell them they would lose a fight was the ultimate pitfall, an argument that should never be used in order to convince them. “We know the Volakian army is here. But there is an old agreement between us. It will not come to a fight.”

Subaru:  “Please wait! I don’t know what this promise is, but they’re serious about—”

Mizelda:  "Silence!"

Subaru:  “Ngh!” Subaru tried to move closer but recoiled when he felt a shock run through the wooden cage. Mizelda had hit the cage with her fist, her eyes flashing with indignation. Subaru had once again chosen his words poorly. Just as they were proud of their martial prowess, the Shudrak also put extreme weight on this old agreement, whatever it was. And Subaru had unconsciously, and without reserve, stepped all over it. “The Volakian soldiers move their formations outside the forest to train. They have done this countless times before.”

Subaru:  “Training…like a military exercise?”

Mizelda:  Mizelda furrowed her brow, not familiar with the phrase Subaru had used. However, the trap Volakia had set was coming into view. They had set camps up around the outskirts of the jungle often under the guise of military exercises, and by this point, the Shudrak were used to it. That familiarity had made them lower their guard, and the Volakian army was using that to encircle the jungle and take on the Shudrak all at once.

Subaru:  “But then why do those soldiers have to go that far to hunt down the Shudrak?” Of course, Mizelda and the other women standing in front of him were certainly strong.
