“After the song, we’ll have a pleasant chat, so could you prepare some snacks, Master Natsuki? Do you not think that sweets will make everyone happy and bring us all closer together?”
The moment he blinked, the world changed before his eyes. Subaru immediately lost his balance, smashing his head into the girl who was winking and holding out an expectant hand toward him.
“Waaaghaaa?!” “Agh!!”
A hard thunk echoed as Subaru saw stars in his eyes.
The sharp pain sent Subaru reeling, leaving him wondering what happened as he took a step back. Something crashed onto the grass in front of him, but Subaru paid it no heed as he rubbed his own head.
“Wh-what just…?”
“What are you muttering about, Subaru?! You just headbutted Liliana out of nowhere! You can’t do that. Even if you’re upset, you need to at least warn them beforehand.”
“That’s right. Before you resorted to violence, should you not have admonished her right around the time she made that clumsy wink, I wonder?”
“Was it really that bad?!”
Offended, Liliana leaped back to her feet. Emilia and Beatrice traded looks, seemingly pondering how to reply to her question as she recovered from her fall.
Struck by shock at the silent pause, Liliana flopped down and splayed out once more.
“What a ridiculous farce. Do not infringe upon my little bird, peasant. I will not overlook it a second time.”
Unexpectedly, Priscilla actually sided with Liliana. She had apparently taken quite a liking to the Songstress, if the sharp look in her eyes was anything to judge by.
But Priscilla’s warning did not elicit a single word from Subaru as he checked the state of his own body.
“…Makes me sick.”
That was all Subaru could gloomily muster after his second run-in with that walking enigma, who hadn’t changed in the slightest.
