Subaru and the others quickly charged at Meili, forcing her to send the Mabeast to attack the three knights, Subaru, and Kenichi. The five of them were able to take down many Mabeast without much trouble. Subaru smiled as he saw that their combined strength is much more powerful than either him or Meili expected.

She quickly started to send her strongest Mabeast to confront the five of them, forcing Subaru to quickly play defense while the other four attempted their best to land strong hits to take out the large Mabeast with large deadly horns. Subaru used the strength he could muster to block off certain attacks that would harm Yabuto or the others while other specific attacks the five of them dodged.

"Damn this fucking thing is big!"

"Careful Waraki, there is still a child-er no wait, two children here."

"Meili can listen to people say bad words! I'm an assassin, not a child!"

"Whatever Mabeast user, as knights we can't just curse around children. It isn't right at all."

"Hmph. Whatever."

Meili stuck her tongue at the knight before watching as the five were struggling to take down the large Mabeast, Otto looked at the group and saw how Kishida and Yabuto were getting worn out by the fight, making it hard for the two to land any stronger hits. He quickly looks around and sees Beatrice's door, causing him to quickly take Petra to it, wanting her to be safe. As he opens the door, he sees Beatrice just looking at the two.

"Who are you, I suppose?"

"A friend of Subaru-san. I want to ask if you can take care of Petra-chan?"

"Hmph. What am I? A babysitter?"

"Just someone we can trust, Great Spirit."

"Fine but you all owe me for this, I suppose."

"I'll pay you however I can. Petra-chan, stay here and watch over Rem-chan."

Petra nodded at Otto before making her way towards Rem's location, knowing that it's her job to protect the sleeping girl. As she does this, Otto starts to leave yet he is stopped for a moment when Beatrice asks him for a favor.

"Protect the two boys with the key. I wish to speak to them both once this annoyance has been finished, I suppose."

"Subaru-san and Sora-san?" Otto paused himself for a moment before responding to Beatrice's request. "Don't worry, I will bring the two here safe and sound."

Otto smiled and quickly left to join the others, wanting to help out as much as he could in the fight against the Mabeast, leaving Beatrice with a hopeful smile that one of the two are "That Person" for her.

As Otto returns to the battle, he uses his divine protection once again to cause a bit of damage to the Mabeast, allowing for Kenichi and Subaru to both take the opportunity to do a father-son combo attack with Subaru landing the first hit on the Mabeast's face then Kenichi stabs the Mabeast in the throat, leaving the final blow to come from Subaru when he jumps high to strike the Mabeast in the forehead with all the strength he could muster.
