Frederica: How should I put it, it's a strange combination...
Julius: Yes, that's true. We don't often meet in person in the main story, but since this is a rare opportunity, I hope we can deepen our friendship while fulfilling our duties.
Frederica: Well, what a gentleman... But even so, although we are characters in this volume, what commonality do Master Julius and I have...?
Julius: Perhaps it's because we're two people who both have younger brothers to be proud of.
Frederica: We are both people who have younger brothers to be proud of?
Julius: Yes. If I may be so bold as to say, I think that through this book, both myself and Miss Frederica have reaffirmed the bond of family. That means that the theme is the same.
Frederica: I see...but saying my younger brother Garf is someone to be proud of is...
Julius: Is that so? In that case, can I devote some space to talking about my younger brother Joshua?
Frederica: T-that's a whole different story! I mean, it's not like I can't talk about him, just that there are a lot of things to be careful about, not just things to brag about.
Julius: That's good. I'd also like to be friends with Garfiel.
Frederica: I don't know if Garf and Master Julius will get along, but...before I can grant that wish, I must first fulfill my role.
Julius: That's right. Well, first of all, a preview of the next volume... The next volume of the main story of Re:ZERO: Starting Life in Another World, volume 36, is scheduled to be released in December.
Frederica: Coincidentally, it will be a continuation of the Empire arc, which both I and Master Julius are involved in. In this collection of short stories, there was a story about Master Subaru struggling in the Empire.
Julius: Even though he is shrinking in stature, he is true to himself. How do we help him and ward off the danger that has befallen the Empire? I think that both myself and Miss Frederica are being tested in our true worth.
Frederica: As for me, I would like to show my true worth in the ongoing "Emilia's Birthday Life" event this year. I am a maid, after all.
Julius: That is certainly true. But, it's Lady Emilia's birthday, is it? I am pleased that it is being held in such a grand manner.
Frederica: Yes. It is well worth your support. Master Julius, as Lady Anastasia's knight, may feel a little uneasy about this, though.
Julius: No. It is better to respect your opponents. Lady Anastasia would say the same.
Frederica: ...I see that our opponents are some pretty incredible people.
Julius: I feel the same way. We ended up talking longer than I expected, so what do you think? Maybe we should move to a different place to brag about our younger brothers?
Frederica: Hehe, that's a nice invitation. --I hope that guy will be as considerate as you are.
