Welcome to my temporary shitty summaries! Notes and lines Im unsure about will be italicized.

A special thanks to the anon who translated the moonrunes that I couldnt.

Chapter 5 ended with this:

Anastasia: Been some time since I last seen you. Many thanks to you for coming all the way.
Figures to me the journey's worn you out. How says we spend time relaxing inside, then chat?

Before Otto can return, she easily takes the lead.

Everyone present can see so.

Chapter
6:
Two
Spirit
Knights,
Two
Greedy
Merchants,
and
One
Selfless
Angel
Anastasia's first strike meets this prediction; Emilia responds with a gentle and polite thank you.
Garfiel looks strangely at Anastasia, and Beatrice grabs Subarus sleeve. The atmosphere in the
inn is tense. Anastasia says that she came to make a good impression; she seems to be genuine.
Subaru guesses that from this small interaction, Anastasia has already noticed that Emilia has
changed in one year. Subaru says that Emilias cuteness has levelled up, and Beatrice complains
about him talking nonsense, which he ignores.

Anastasia: Natsuki-kun, how are the Margraves territories faring after the subjugation of the
white whale?

Subaru: Thanks to your troops, we somehow managed to prevail without Emilia camps internal
collapse. Things are the more or less the same.

Anastasia: Is that so? Well, I'm glad that they came with me. Julius was eager to see
Natsuki-kun for the first time in a long time.

Subaru puts on a straightforward act in response to Anastasias words. Emilia and Anastasia
laugh simultaneously, and the atmosphere further deteriorates. Subaru and Juliuss complicated
relationship is easily misunderstood, and Emilia in particular has difficulty changing her
perception of it.

Garfiel: Ah, I'm fine, but I guess the woman is one of Emilia's enemies?

The previously silent Garfiel voices a question, but his way of phrasing it is terrible. Subaru
facepalms, and Anastasias round eyes grow rounder.
Emilia: Garfiel, youre not wrong, but youre putting it in a pretty extreme way. After all,
werent we invited here?"

Garfiel: Even if you say that, you'll have to bite each other one day right? If she hits you after
getting along with you it's going to confuse your heart.

Emilia: That's true. Garfiel's a gentle person, so I'm worried about that ... ...

Garfiel: Hey, who are you calling gentle!

Garfiel responds sarcastically, but before he gets to embarrassed, someone cuts him off.

???: Ahh ... Garf is here! Miss, why were you keeping quiet!?"

The wooden door of the inn was opened vigorously with a loud rattling sound. The racket is
caused by Mimi, a cat whose lovely face shines brightly as she sees her audience. She flies into
the room and surprises everyone by firmly grasping Garfiels arm.

Mimi: Welcome! Youre tired, youre tired, so Mimi will guide you to your room! After that,
its tag nrun! Its an awesome thing that Mimi saw!

Garfiel: Wh- hold on, wait, wait! Youre still talking youre strong!?

Mimi: This way! Quick!

Petite Mimi clings to Garfiel's arm, and Garfiel, who should be strong enough to break away, is
dragged along helplessly. Perhaps a secret technique is being used, but perhaps Garfiel simply
doesnt want to (emotionally) distance Mimi by shaking her off. They were, after all, supposed to
be the same age.

Garfiel is taken away with little resistance and the two figures disappears into the inn. Anastasia
had a rare troubled look on her face, as did Emilia.

Anastasia: Well, Mimi has always been a spontaneous, troublesome girl. Even so, I was a bit
surprised just now.

Lia: Oh, is that so. I'm glad, I was worried I was the only one who couldn't follow along.

Ana: That's not the case, don't worry. However

Anastasias briefly softened gaze sharpened once more. That gaze looked capable of freezing
ones soul, and Subaru unconsciously moved to stand in front of Emilia.

Anastasia: I'd like you to tell me what kind of a child he is, the one who has attracted Mimis
attention.
The dangerous question was loaded with the quiet, burning rage a woman would hold toward
pests who surrounded her cute daughter or little sister. It subtly conveyed that Mimi was loved,
and, although he had arrived early, Subaru felt exhausted.

???: ... Why is it, Natsuki-san, that you suddenly have such a tired face?

At that moment, Otto, who had returned from securing the ground dragons and their carriage,
found Subaru in an exhausted state and joined their gathering.

The great hall of the Watergate City, rather than being covered with tatami mats, was tiled with
floor boards. Subaru makes a Japan reference? and sits on a futon, or acushion-shaped cushion
according to google translate, and looks around the room. Beatrice calmly takes a seat next to
him, but Emilia and others seem to be puzzled by the idea of sitting directly on the floor. There
long wooden desk and the large hall are all reminiscent of a Japanese style inn, excluding the
lack of a tatami floor.

However, Subaru, who is an expert, must detract some points.

Subaru: For example, this place lacks a sliding door and a paper door, and, unfortunately, the
employees are not dressed kimonos. Its poor taste to outwardly resemble a ryokan when the
atmosphere is not faithfully reproduced.

Subaru talks about clothing and hospitality.

Subaru: So, my grade totals to seventy points. This place is barely acceptable, but what is good
is good, that is my grade. I hope you will work hard to improve in the future.

Beatrice: So what are you talking about?

Subaru: It's a kind cheap, spirited, and light-hearted kind of fun that relieves my frustration. ...
... It's okay if you let go of my hands.

Beatrice: ... ... just to be sure, Ill hold it for a little while longer, I suppose.

The grip on Subarus left hand slightly strengthens, and he says nothing more, instead turning his
face to Emilia sitting on his right. Emilia, who had been examining the strange surroundings,
noticed his gaze.

Emilia: Its only a little strange from the outside, but as soon as I enter it I feel so odd, sitting on
the floor and taking off my shoes
Subaru: I didnt have a bed in my bedroom, I had a futon on the floor. Ill be confused if this
place doesnt have it ... ... Would the employees let me do it?

Otto: It is an unusual and unnecessary proposition ... .... Or rather, is Natsuki-san familiar with
Kararagi-style customs?

Otto, sitting opposite Beatrice, joins the conversation. Subaru was caught on the phrase
Kararagi-style.

Subaru: Is this Kararagi-style like this building or something like that?

Otto: That's right, these Wahoo/Wafu () architectural styles are Kararagi-inherited

technology, although they are not widespread.

Subaru and Otto talk for a while, and Subaru decides that Wafu style isnt Japanese style. Otto
talks about Pristellas history, which was founded by Hoshin of the Wastelands before he
founded Kararagi. Pristella was split between Lugunican and Kararagian (?) cultures. There were
several territorial disputes between Lugunica and Kararagi, just over a hundred years ago.
Pristella is geographically Lugnican, but its founder Hoshin considered himself/was considered
Kararagian. Lugunica disliked the cultural influence Kararagi had. Eventually, diplomacy was
established between Lugunica and Kararagi? The most notable part of the story is that Hoshin is
described as a wise man, or a sage. I dont know what characters Re:Zero uses for sage as in
Flugel, but the line is

Otto: It seems like, Hoshin was a person with innovative ideas from the start. ... ... how much
ideology, technology, and legislation did he develop?

Subaru: -- I see.

Ottos story confirmed that Kararagis founder, Hoshin of the Wastelands, had the same identity
as Subaru and Al, a person summoned from a different world. Subaru now knew of three people
who had been summonsed at various times; Hoshin from 400 years ago, Al from 20 years ago,
and Subaru from one year ago.

Subaru didnt understand the time gap, or why he was chosen, and it was meaningless for him to
speculate wildly. But he knows he isnt alone. Just knowing that grants Subarus heart salvation.

???: It appears that everyone is enjoying the inn.

A thin sliding door made of wood moves quietly, and Anastasia, entering with perfect timing,
stood at the other side with a smile.
And, next to her who came in,

???: Long time no see, Emilia-sama. I sincerely apologize for being late for greetings because I
have to welcome you earlier than anyone else.

A mans voice, inspiring both gratitude and irritation. The voice was soft spoken and sweet, and
just from hearing it, many women would assume it to be the voice of an angel. An amusing flight
of fancy, but the voice did have the necessary color, beauty, and strength. This was the voice of
the knight of knights, Julius Juukulius, which existed solely to vex. At least, that was how it
felt to Subaru.

Emilia: Yeah, its been a while, Julius. You look like youre doing well.

Julius: I am grateful for your consideration. Emilia-sama likewise seems to have been polished
by its beauty. The shade of your gaze suggests that this kingdom is strengthened, while the rest
of the world suffers a loss.

Subaru finds his phrasing disgusting.

Julius: It's been a while since weve met face to face, Natsuki Subaru(-dono), but you seem
lively as always.

Subaru: Stop with fake ass attitude, it sends shivers down my spine. Subaru-dono my ass, you're
so transparent.

Julius; It is now a well-known fact that you were recognized as Emilia-samas knight. Your
former disrespect of the position should now be disregarded by both of us. First and foremost, as
a knight, are you trying to behave accordingly?

Subaru feels annoyed and they argue/banter. Subaru decides his attitude is perfectly fine, Julius
asks him if he has been acting in shameful ways, Subaru brings up his beating, etc. Julius pauses
when he looks past Subaru and sees Beatrice.

Beatrice: Do not state at a lady, I suppose.

Julius: That was terribly rude of me. I did not expect that a high-level spirit like you would be
present here.

Beatrice: "Because Betty is a partner of Subaru, it is natural I appear here. I am of a different

from the quasi spirits who you have brought in. Do you fear me?

Beatrice stands with her hands on Subaru's shoulders and her chest puffed up. That grumpy
attitude is based on Juliuss attitude toward Subaru, who is inferior to Julius in every way except
one. Both are spirit knights, but Subarus contracted spirit is of a higher grade.
Julius is accompanied by six quasi-spirits corresponding to the six attributes. Spirits ranks go
from lesser spirits to quasi spirits to great spirits are assigned in order. If that point is taken into
consideration, it can be said that Subaru who brings Beatrice indeed is superior as a spirit use.
However,

Subaru: If youre comparing actual ability, we have so many faults and are such a waste of
potential that we cant even compare to his quasi spirits.

Beatrice: Hmph. If he does not stop disrespecting Subaru ... I will tell you what will happen if
you disdain Betty's partner, even if you are a handsome man who causes Bettys heart to waver, I
suppose!

Subaru: A handsome man who causes your heart to waver!?

It was Julius himself, the cause of the crack in their relationship, who caught the reason for it.

Julis: Do not misunderstand, your spirit is not going to betray you. Her instinct is merely being
shaken by my divine protection."

Subaru: Your protection ...... Seriously, do you also have one? What protection?

Julius: The protection I have is the blessing of gathering spirits. Simply speaking, it is a kind
of blessing that garners the favor of spirits. I also have a contract with quasi-spirits of six
attributes. Only with the power of that protection am I able to maintain them. .

Beatrice: Betty will not lose! Subaru is better than you that's right!

Subaru: Thank you! Please dont hurt me any further!

Subaru trusts that Beatrice will not betray him, but is still disappointed at the lack of a firm
follow-up. His inferiority complex is the main reason for his dislike of Julius.

Anastasia: As usual, our knight is attentive to Natsuki-kun.

Julius: Its nothing that special. I am merely discussing the attitude of a knight as his senior.
The knights of the kingdom of Lugunica may be judged from his behavior.

Anastasia: But Natsuki-kun already has a reputation as a knight, doesnt he? That Julius really
is dishonest.

In response to Anastasias teasing, Julius loosens his expressions and lowers his head silently.
Their motions have a very familiar feel. Emilia says shes glad Subaru and Julius have become
such good friends. Anastasia? talks about Mimis fun date with Garfiel. Hetaro and Tivey seem
to be at the inn as well. Subaru wonders where Ricardo and Joshua are, and Julius responds that
theyre in Pristella but are staying elsewhere.

Julius: You should have met him by now, yes?

Subaru: Yep, and he was very similar to you. If his frame were a little steadier, he could play
you perfectly. Actually, he should do that anyway. You can leave now.

Julius: Ill keep your interesting opinion in mind, but that would be difficult for Joshua. Hes
not a child well suited for excessive travel. Frustratingly, I hold several concerns about him, as
his older brother.

Julius takes him seriously and worries about Joshua's body, which makes Subaru feels awkward.
Otto clears his throat and asks to be introduced. Anastasia also wants to be introduced to Otto
and Beatrice.

Subaru: Hey, youre getting kinda grabby for information, Anastasia.

Ana gives a banterish evasive reply, and Otto starts doing his Otto fussing. Ana nods to Julius.

Julius: Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Julius Juukulius of the Knights of the Kingdom of
Lugunica, although presently I am only serving as Anastasia-samas knight.

Julius bows to Otto, and introduces Ana.

Julius: Here is one the king candidates for Kingdom of Lugunica, Anastasia Hoshin, the gifted
businesswoman who runs Kararagis Hoshin Company.

Upon hearing Juliuss introduction, Otto begins to bow to Anastasia, and Subaru whacks the
back of his head.

Subaru: Dont defect to her, look out for me! Our Emilia is a wonderful candidate for the same
throne, dont lose to Anastasia!"

Emilia: Yeah, yeah, I am a candidate. I will do my best.

Subaru memeflirts with her, and seeing their antics calms Otto down.

Otto: Thank you graciously. I'm late in saying this, but I'm Otto Suwen, Emilia Camps
Minister of Internal Affairs. ... ... Yes, thanks to a certain someone, a Minister of Internal Affairs
is indeed what I am.

Subaru: There seems to be bitterness about that decision.

Otto: Originally, I was supposed to be merely a simple merchant, what has become of me?
Subaru: Well, because Im always struggling, Ill dump everything on Otto.

Everyone sighs as their banter, then turns to Beatrice. Seeing their gazes, she presents her small
frame openly and squarely.

Beatrice: Betty is the great spirit Beatrice, I suppose, and Subaru's contract spirit. As you can
see, I rank highly both as a spirit and in cuteness. I would appreciate a delicious tea and sweet
snack, I suppose.

Subaru: Maintain your majesty until the end!

Beako is still their mascot character. Subaru pulls her into his lap and starts headpatting her.

Julius: I did believe you had a good compatibility with your spirit, and I wouldnt call this
unexpected, but I didn't imagine a contract with a great spirit like Beatrice would resemble this.

Subaru brags about his daughter resembling him, and Beako complains about his careless
treatment. After that, introductions are over, and the business talk begins.

Otto: The atmosphere seems to have calmed down for time being, so conversation will proceed
more naturally, this is true, yes?

In Emilia Camp, it is Ottos role to take the lead in conversations like this, so they will not be
derailed. Anastasia answers while fingering her white fox fur scarf.

Anastasia: Yep. Well, its our job as the hosts to entertain our guests, right?

Otto: Well then, wont you tell us the reasons why you invited us to Pristella?

Anastasia: Its fine, you dont have to be so on guard. Im not planning anything. A year has
passed since the king's election started, and we havent had opportunities to see each other
recently, so I thought Id just set one up.

Most people would be easily mislead by her gentle demeanor, but Otto was a veteran at
negotiating. This conversation had turned into a battle between merchants.

Otto: Take our conditions into light, we have to be cautious, since it seems you are dangling
bait right in front of us.

Ana: Well, we did invite you here for a reason. There are souvenirs in Pristella that you would
want, arent there? Think of this as a gift.

Otto: ... And how did you know which gift we would want?
Ana: Its sorta a company secret Well just say that Im an inquisitive girl.

Anastasia covers her mouth while laughing, and Subaru sighs, wondering how shed learned
about their circumstances.

Emilia: I wasnt specifically trying to hide it, and it was inevitable that it would be leaked.

Emilia talks straightforwardly and dismisses Subarus worries. Ana blinks and focuses on
Emilia, who tilts her head.

Emilia: From this point onwards, I think that it would be better if you to be glad that Anastasia
has properly taught us the location of what we want, rather than being suspicious of her.

Ana: To respond to your enemy in such a well intentioned way... I didnt do this solely out of
selflessness, Emilia-san.

Emilia: But now I know where to get what I want. Thank you. I do not know what I can do for
you, but I will surely thank you one day.

Anastasias eyes widen at Emilias smiling response. To her surprise, Julius, seated, next to her,
seems to unintentionally soften his expression. Ana glares at him in response.

Ana: Is something strange, Julius?

Julius: Its merely that your surprised expression is so rare. I think that it is just as beautiful as
your natural, unaffected face.

Ana: Trying to escape with flattery Well, I still appreciate those sweet words.

Ana regains her usual tone in response to Julius's words and shakes her head. Then she fixes a
sharpened gaze on a curious Emilia.

Ana: Its been a year, and Emilia-san still has a disadvantage that she needs to work around.

Emilia: Yeah, Im lacking in many areas and causing everyone so much trouble, so I'm trying
hard to catch up soon ....

Ana: One correction; your greatest disadvantage isnt that. Its that you resemble a terrifying
figure.

Anastasia breaths a lengthy exhale and smiles, and Emilia stiffens at her sudden change in
attitude. They seem to discuss their political platforms. Subaru is getting riled up but Otto stays
calm. Noticing their conflicting attitudes, Ana fixes the collar of her scarf.

Ana: Well, it's fine. There's no way you wouldn't understand the value of gratitude after all.
Otto: Gratitude, huh? Gratitude is great. You don't have to keep it in the inventory, there's no
deadline attached to it.

Ana: Right? And most importantly

Otto syncs up with Anastasia's words as the two merchants face each other

Ana: You dont have to attach a price tag to it.

Ana claps her hands and Otto droops his shoulders. Anas graciousness seems to make them all
the more indebted. In the words of the anon who translated this scene, basically Ana has them
by the balls because gratitude is such a vague concept and Otto knows it.

Ana: Now, back to what Emilia-san needs... a colorless magical ore, one of the highest grade of
purity.

Emilia: Yes, that's right, can you tell me what you think?

On the way to Pristella, Emilia, having consciously realized that she had been acting out of
selfishness, had felt guilty and hadnt wanted to involve Subaru and Otto and the others.
Nevertheless, with the opportunity right in front of her, she of course needed to act. She was
closer than ever to seeing a family member again.

Ana: The best supplier of high density ore is Muse Company. The person responsible for it
currently resides in this town. He is a man by the name of Kiritaka Muse, a man whose heart was
stolen by a songstress.
