Subaru:  They had managed to calm down before, but it was time enough for the anxiety and unease to start making waves again. And just at that moment, there was a fork in the path. Honestly, considering how anxious he was feeling, he wanted to start moving again as soon as possible. "We have no way of deciding. But I don’t really like the idea of relying on Zhuge Liang…"

Anastasia:  "For now, let’s just go with what Natsuki wants. The right one, yeah?"

Subaru:  "Oh right, it’s not just us. You’re here, too, Patlash. Sorry, sorry. I haven’t forgotten about you." Patlash’s nose pushed against Subaru’s head. Feeling like his timidity had been blown away, Subaru smiled. "What? You’ll follow me on whatever path I choose, even to the gates of hell?"

Ram:  "Nonsense, but the fact that you seem to be basically right indicates it’s a serious case. Really, though, which is best." Subaru made up his own translation of Patlash’s intent, and Ram sighed in exasperation.

Anastasia:  Anastasia clapped her hands watching the two them. "“All right already. That’s enough discussion. If we’re agreed, then let’s move. Time is money."

Subaru:  "One of Hoshin’s sayings, was it? —Okay then, let’s go. Same formation as before, and let’s be careful."

Ram:  Ram and Anastasia nodded. Following the great strategist Zhuge Liang’s teaching, the noncombatant party resumed their march. They headed down the right path, believing that their comrades awaited them at the other end.

Subaru:  "Honestly, a fork in the road with no hint at all is mean, but it at least rules out the hell of an infinite loop… I guess this really is one of the Sage’s traps?"

Ram:  "If so, how much time must have been spent digging a hole like this underground? But it is a shut-in pretending to be a hermit, after all. There would be plenty of time in all those years, I suppose."

Subaru:  "Big Sis, that’s a pretty harsh evaluation of the Sage." But he could understand her hostile stance toward the Sage, too. If the sand time and the garden of demon beasts and this labyrinth were all set up by the Sage, then Sinister was probably a better title. "At this rate, I’m not going to be doing anything other than complaining when we finally do meet this Sage."

Anastasia:  "Agreed. After doing all this, if they’re still not willing to help, then I won’t have any choice. Worst case, I’ll have no choice but to string them up and make them talk."

Ram:  "I’m not sure what to say about your grave-robbing approach to things."

Anastasia:  "If there’s something I want, I take the measures needed to get it. This is not some child’s game." Her genuine and unshakable resolve was recognizable in her strong tone.
