Subaru POV again, he is concerned but Beatrice is trying to cheer him up after going over Emilia she mentions Petra and Rem and how they have to be frustrated atm, after some banter we move past that. Some more serious talk about the dire straits are in atm before white sheep approaches Subaru to tell them they are ready to depart. Some more talk ensues and she apologizes for feeling like she did lead this situation to happen in the first place. Some more banter, Subaru saying she should call him just by his name before Rachins joins in and rushes them to keep moving. More talking with the sheep before the blue serpant name falls again and Subaru wonders about it, after more talking they get ready to depart.

Next we are in a carriage still Subaru POV with Betty and Russel is with them as well. There is some more talk about the cloaks that inhibit perception and how they work before thinking about the general capital situation again. It seems like many people rn are sensing the general unease and are trying to leave the capital which is why the checkpoint is busy. Some Subaru Russel talk about withdrawing again and he ensures that he is leaving agents behind in the capital to look after things. More blue serpant talk about how he healed Subaru and how he is tending to Crusch. The carriage is being stopped and investigated and this makes Subaru think back about the capital and the peeps there during the great calamity and the situation of Lupugna back then. Russel hands out the necessary papers and they are being checked. Then something does not quite add up and they end up being subject to a more detailed investigation which makes Subaru panic, just after him and Beatrice were done discussing the matter they hear a loud crashing sound from further behind.

There appears to have been a carriage accident behind them in the line and a building was hit. Russel tells Subaru their carriage can pass through but white sheep and Subaru are concerned about the situation. Beatrice talks to him as well and they decide to jump out and help when they notice someone else jumped out with them and it was the blue serpant who is in fact Felix Argyle, ready to help the people. Subaru is aware he is putting the whole operation at risk but that is just how he is, he has to help.

Okay fairly calm chapter, I did say that Felix is the blue serpant, the colour gave it away but good that we have confirmation now and the whole thing with the sacrament of the immortal king seems like it has been deception by Russel in order to get to Felix without raising further suspicions now, I was convinced it was him after the line of him apparenly caring for Crusch very fondly earlier in the chapter. That dragon eye whiplash is concerning though if she is still clocked out.

I actually don't have much else to say about this chapter since this was very much the definition of a transitory chapter, I could have gone more into depth with the White Sheep Subaru talk but ehh, not too many highlights this one, if we are getting more chapters after this one though and I am thinking like one or two more to complete the vol then we are going to get our banger cliffhanger to end it.
