“ But if Barusu isn’t spouting nonsense, then it’s a great achievement. If his story is true, the barrier should be lifted now. Garf, what is the state of the barrier?”
“…All I can say is, the pact feels the same way to me ’n’ the old hag.”
“Are you that worried about me and Ram riding together? Just so you know, it’s not like my back’s touching anything. And even if it did, all there’d be is something hard as a board.”
“Oh shut it. Me, I know that more than anyone in the whole wor—ow?!”
“You certainly do not know that. I’ll slap you silly.”
“Yeah? That’s a big help. I couldn’t help thinking that in the worst case, you were here to stop us by force. If that happened, I’d be forced to throw Ram as far as I could and use her as a decoy.”
“Hey, I’d never fall for that! …I wouldn’t, right?”
“Hell if I know!! Ram, say something to him already…”
“But when I’m not by her side, I can’t stop worrying… So I’m leaving her in your hands, Garfiel.”
“Wha? The hell are ya thinkin’, entrustin’ the Princess to me…?”
“I suppose because you’re strong, you’re thinking of the Sanctuary, and you’re well aware it’s gonna be a problem for you if anything happens to Emilia.”
“Well, excuse me for being unable to leave that boorish lower middle class mindset behind…”
“You have served but a few months, Barusu. Ram has served ten years. Our degree of loyalty and length of service differ. It is impertinent for you to think you can stand upon the same stage…
“…All I can say is, the pact feels the same way to me ’n’ the old hag.”
“So that was all a lie. Please die.”
“Damn, you decided that way too early!!”
“I suppose you wouldn’t. You have the look of a pauper.”
“It hasn’t even been half a day since Miss Ram and I first met, has it?!”
“That’s way longer than I was thinking!”
“Isn’t he? I found him tied up on the side of the road. I’ll take care of him, so can I keep him?”
“Only if you take proper care of him.”
“Could you two stop referring to me like I’m a dog or a cat?! Both of you are seriously in tune, aren’t you?!”
ffff
“Don’t be ridiculous. If I did it and Master Roswaal’s injuries worsened, where would we be then?”
“You should feel a little worse about the fact that you’d make it worse!!”
“I can’t say anything back about that. I really can’t, but it still bugs me…”
“Oh shut it. Me, I know that more than anyone in the whole wor—ow?!”
“You certainly do not know that. I’ll slap you silly.”
“Hey, I’d never fall for that! …I wouldn’t, right?”
“Hell if I know!! Ram, say something to him already…”
“Wha? The hell are ya thinkin’, entrustin’ the Princess to me…?”
“I suppose because you’re strong, you’re thinking of the Sanctuary, and you’re well aware it’s gonna be a problem for you if anything happens to Emilia.”

“It seems you haven’t done any reflection yet, Barusu.”
“Don’t smack me right in the same spot you did earlier!! Are you a demon?! …Wait, you are!”
“You have served but a few months, Barusu. Ram has served ten years. Our degree of loyalty and length of service differ. It is impertinent for you to think you can stand upon the same stage…
“You’re way more indecent for saying that about a tiny girl like this!”
