After returning back to the loot house, and seeing Reinhard holding felt by her arm, Rom looked at him a bit angrily, and Emilia who was looking at all of this with confusion. Kaji decided that he just had to tease Reinhard a bit.
"Oy, Reinhard I didn't think that you were into little girls, I should warn the people to protect all the little girls in the kingdom, or you might just go for them too." And the moment Kaji said these words everyone had different expressions on their faces. Reinhard was confused, while his eyebrow tweaked a bit in irritation, Emilia was flabbergasted as she looked at the red-haired sword saint, with a look of judgment in her eyes.
Felt was scared, and Rom was picking up his bat while looking at Reinhard threateningly. And, Kaji was smiling with a wide smile on his face.
"Umm, Kaji you shouldn't joke like that, what if someone took you seriously? This might bring me trouble in the future." The knight said as he looked at Kaji, who had an amused look on his face.
"So Reinhard likes little girls?" Emila was said in a questioning manner while looking at the knight with an uncomfortable expression, after all, she could still be considered a small girl mentally.
"No Emilia-sama you misunderstand, Kaji was just joking around. And this is just a misunderstanding, there's a reason why I must take the girl with me, and I promise that no harm will come to her." He then turned his head in Rom's direction. "And you can accompany us, as to make sure that she will be fine."
Emilia wanted to apologize for assuming things, but Kaji spoke again. "So you're telling me that you are uninterested in girls, then do you swing that way? I understand it must be hard then, here take him as an offering." Kaji said while pointing towards Subaru while pretending to understand the man's struggles.
Everyone was quietly looking at the young sword saint, they just didn't know what to say. For some reason they didn't even question Kaji if this was really the truth, they just believed him for some reason. But after some more talking Reinhard managed to convince Felt and Rom to go with him, Kaji, Emilia, and an unconscious Subaru were left in the broken loot house.
Kaji then picked up Subaru like a sack of potatoes, and Left the loot house together with Emilia, as the two went back where they were staying at the moment. Which was a house that belonged to the clown-faced mage. They didn't stay in the capital city for much longer as the next day they left towards the Mathers domain, and mansion.

Subaru opened his eyes and found himself in a big room, he looked at his wound and assumed that Emilia was the one that healed him. Of course, this led him to fantasize, about how she thanked him, and how nice her smile must look like, and many different things, but all of them contained Emilia in them.
After getting up from the bed, Subaru walked out of the room. He was walking down the corridor that seemed to be stuck in some sort of loop. So Subaru assumed that to leave this looping hallway he needed to find the correct door.
"The typical pattern says that the first door is likely to be it!" Subaru said to himself, as he opened the door. And lo and behold, the moment Subaru opened the door, he saw Beatrice and Kaji discussing something. But when the two looked at the intruder, Beatrice spoke first.
"What a profoundly aggravating man you are, I suppose." The loli spirit said while glaring at the boy, who just bagged in.
But unlike what anyone could expect from the boy, he opened his mouth. "First two NPC's found! And with that frown of yours, and that cold attitude, you might just ruin your cute face." Subaru started talking, but he was interrupted by Kaji.
"You know you shouldn't just talk like that to people you just met, you might get killed you know." Kaji said with a small smile.
"Are you guys mad that I guessed the correct door on my first try? Well, I always was a pretty good guesser….. I understand why the game master would want me in all the events, but sorry! So what is this place anyway?" And it seemed like Subaru just ignored Kaji's advice, well no like the Oni cared much about it.
Unlike in the original where Beatrice started to explain things to the boy, she didn't. After all, at the time she felt lonely, but because Kaji would come to the library frequently. She wasn't as lonely as before so she wouldn't just tell things to someone who she didn't even trust to begin with.
"Betty, who don't you teach him a lesson, after all, speaking so disrespectfully and not to mention entering a place that should be of limits to him. There should be some sort of punishment, right?" Kaji said with a playful smile.
"yes, It's time to teach him a lesson I suppose." Beatrice agreed with what Kaji said as she hopped off her chair, and walked right up to Subaru.
Subaru wanted to retort and say something in his defense but was interrupted by the loli spirit that was standing right in front of him."Don't you dare move!" The loli said while glaring at the boy.
She touched him, and after a second, Subaru felt as if all the energy inside his body was sucked out. His body spasmed, a bit as tears started rolling down his face. After a couple more seconds Subarus was lying on the ground while Kaji was looking at all of this with an amused smile on his face.
