Subaru:  "Is it because you have a thing for kitty ears? That’s why you’re tryin’ to get close to my girl?"

Anastasia:  "I don’t have any weird fetishes like that. In the first place, if I were into that…"

Subaru:  Subaru clenched his teeth as he recalled the image of a cat-haired knight at that mansion full of know-nothings. "Anyway, no. It simply caught my interest. I think you said something about a private army?"

Anastasia:  "For what it’s worth, they’re pretty famous in Kararagi. They’re the Hoshin Company’s own mercenary band, the ‘Iron Fangs.’ I’m their sponsor, so of course I get the privilege of choosin’ the members." Anastasia spoke while shifting her gaze to Mimi, who looked absentminded all the while. "She’s suuuuper cute, isn’t she? She’s so much fun to hug and go to sleep with, you know?"
human
Subaru:  "It’s my turn to ask if you ‘swing that way,’ geez. You’re not telling me you twisted arms to get someone like that in as second-in-command, are you?"
gpt
Anastasia:  "No need to worry; it’s fine. I told ya, didn’t I? That girl’s the number two of the Iron Fangs all right, and she has skills worthy of deputy captain. That’s why I can stroll around the capital with only her."

Subaru:  Sensing absolute trust in Anastasia’s comments, Subaru observed Mimi’s back once again. She really didn’t look strong at all. But her master’s words were convincing all the same. A candidate for the royal selection would never walk around with a lone bodyguard if that person wasn’t capable. "Ah, just to get this out, I won’t talk in detail about the members, okay? I’m not generous enough to put all my cards on the table. In fact, I’m pretty confident it’s a bad idea."
gpt
Subaru:  "Well, that doesn’t make you sound as confident at all…" Though she’d blunted any effort to poke deeper, Subaru engraved the name of the Iron Fangs into the back of his brain as one more potential threat. If he and Anastasia became overt enemies at some point, it would be yet one more wall to overcome.

Anastasia:  "Natsuki, your brow is too wrinkled. You look like you’re glaring."
gpt
Subaru:  "Hey, I was born with this face, okay? No need to go picking at a guy’s complexes."
human
Anastasia:  "Complex? Mm, that’s fine. That said, you mentioned your birth, but where were you born, Natsuki? We don’t see black hair very often around these parts, and your outfit stands out, too."
gpt
Subaru:  "I was born in Japan on Earth, and this is a tracksuit, probably the only one in the world." It was a strange topic. His honest answer sounded like he was dodging the question entirely.
human
Anastasia:  Sure enough, it made Anastasia pout; her face clouded. "Japan of Earth. Never heard of it. But…where is that?"
gpt
Subaru:  "Past the Grand Cascade. Far to the east, and then farther east past that is Zipang."
human
Anastasia:  "The Grand Cascade…" Subaru gave a flippant answer, expecting her to burst into laughter, but Anastasia sank into thought.
