S2 E32: Echoes of the Past

Re: START

Winding up in the midst of an altercation, I am encountered with two friends in a dispute amongst each other.

Ferris: I am not negotiating a CONTRACT... with Emilia-chan, Wilhelm. I cannot...

Wilhelm: Ferris, please be reasonable. Our allies are focusing on the same goal as us, we should take their offer. Think about what's best for Duchess Crusch first before your pride.

Ferris: I know but this goes against what Crusch prohibits herself from doing. She will not accept the aid of a rival. I'm sorry... I won't do it...

Wilhelm: Very well then, Ferris... have it your way... <(dissatisfied)>

-The old swordsman states as he arose from his seat. It finally caught my attention as I stared blankly at them.-

Jiro: Excuse me... Ferris <(nauseous)>

(In all due respect, the name "Felix" won't be indicated because the character told me so... Ferris-chan is preferable anyway.)

Ferris: What is it, Jiro-chan? Is there a problem? <(meowing)>

Jiro: Y-Yea... do you mind explaining again what it is we're discussing? <(clueless)>

Ferris: Weren't you paying attention at all?

Jiro: No. Sorry. I lost track of time.

-I nodded in refusal to her response.-

Ferris: Purr... <annoyed>

-She mumbles as I see the cat girl wiggle her ears. Kinda cute-

Emilia: You may have forgotten, Jiro-kun. But, all four us wanted to continue this alliance. Except for Ferris, which is clearly fine with me... even though I still owe Crusch a debt for her protection. I will repay her in other ways... beginning with her memories.

Jiro: Oh okay... <fazing out>

-I said, fazing out of existence. My actions clearly demonstrate I wasn't doing well.-

Emilia: Is everything going alright, Jiro? I'm starting to worry.

Ferris: Yea. You look much paler like Subaru-chan. Did you take any sort of unknown "substance"?

Jiro: H-hmph, no... <smiling>

Ferris: Well, let's just say you're acting funny. Quit staring off into space, silly.

Jiro: Will do.

Wilhelm: He's probably worried about that letter in his hand.

Jiro: What Letter?! <confused, twists his head to search>

Wilhelm: In your hand, sir. You didn't happen to notice the note was there.

Jiro: Oh... thanks Wilhelm. I truly appreciate it.

Wilhelm: Not at all, sir.

Emilia: Anyways... <begun speaking>

Crusch: Emilia. Is it all justified if we go ahead with our plan to bring my memories back?

Ferris: Whoa! Crusch, why don't you think this through first before we--

Crusch: Ferris, if there is by small chance, I can retrieve a fragment of myself. I am willing to take that offer at any cost. <befuddled>

Emilia: Hmm, I'm willing to accept if your subordinate are in terms with our plan.

Crusch: Ferris? <pleading her to say "yes">
