Alright. While we wait for some more opinions, I'll post what I've got so far for another Praefacio scene. This one takes place right after Elluka/Gumillia's battle with Abyss I.R.

*Germaine carries Gumillia to her room; Yukina and Germaine sit down to talk to Elluka

*Yukina asks to make sure it’s Elluka and she answer she’s glad to finally be back in her original body, though Yukina’s not sure if to say yes.

*A boy servant comes in and  offers milk for Elluka but she flatly rejects it and tells him to bring her some tea. The boy’s confused but then bows his head and leaves.

*Elluka (squints with bitter expression):  “Milk’s not a drink. Bring us some black tea. I’ll have lemon tea.” (at this point, I'd like to note that "black tea" tends to just be called "tea" in the colloquial translation)

*Boy: “Huh.....” (leaves) “What in the.....” (heard through door)

*Yukina sits in the chair next to Germaine; Elluka sits opposite of them.

*Yukina: “First off, I urge you to explain it. What happened after you and Gumillia left this house five years ago.”

*”It’s a long story. Well, I’ll give you the short version. “

*Brief narration recapping Wiegenlied’s event.

*”Regarding the Demons of Sin……. I don’t need to explain them, right?”

*”Yeah…… Ms. Elluka’s collecting the vessels of sin.”

*Elluka says something like there’s a lot of them and that she used their opportunity to check the Venom Sword only to see it missing the demon.

*Elluka: ”I went to the royal palace because I felt the shadow of a demon in Kyle. It would’ve been the Demon of Lust that dwelled in the Venom Sword.”

*Yukina: “Do you mean that Kyle sprouting wings was the work of the Demon of Lust?”

*Elluka shook her head.

*Elluka: “No. That demon---was the Demon of Pride that dwelled in a mirror. That demon possessed Kyle after the Demon of Lust left.” (alt. translation: “The demon that possessed Kyle after I left was the Demon of Lust”)

<p class="MsoNormal">*Yukina’s narration considers that that’s around the time of the revolution when someone had Kyle possessed by it. As she considers its effects we hear:
 * Yukina: “Yeah, the sex drive?” (I think?)

<p class="MsoNormal">*Yukina blushed and she looked to see Germaine grin.

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka: “Kyle’s passion for Michaela was because of the demon, I think. But he himself probably wouldn’t have realized it.”

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka: “After that, the Demon of Lust must’ve left him at some point and he was instead possessed by the Demon of Pride. Kyle become profusely confident in himself because of this and started to pick fights with other countries.”

<p class="MsoNormal">*Yukina: ”Mr. Kyle was trickled by the demon.” (I think?)

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka: “Perhaps it was something like that. Of course, there must’ve been someone who did it.”

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka determined it was impossible for Kyle to be possessed by the Demon of Lust and Demon of Pride in such a manner. So, in the following year, they went to Marlon. She figured that King Kyle’s mother, Queen Dowager Prim, might’ve been involved (I think...).

<p class="MsoNormal">*There, they were suddenly met with Abyss I.R. and the Espionage Task Force.

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka: “I had been caught off-guard. Because I hadn’t expected there to be mages like that in this era..... Besides me. I fled too late so Abyss capturedjust my body.”

<p class="MsoNormal">*Yukina: “Just your body?”

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka: “I can only move my spirit to another body. My spirit was temporarily stored in Gumillia’s body. In essence, I and Gumillia herself were two souls sharing a body." (I am not so sure about that last sentence)

<p class="MsoNormal">*Yukina’s narration has a “come to think of it” vibe about how Gumillia acted differently when she first met her, since she was harboring two people’s personalities.

<p class="MsoNormal">*Yukina: “Why did you do such a thing?”

<p class="MsoNormal">*Unfortunately I can’t understand Elluka’s answer so I’ll have to revisit it later, though she pretty much sums it up to “you guys know the rest” after she waited for Gumillia to escape to Beelzenia.

<p class="MsoNormal">*Yukina: “In the end, who was Abyss I.R.?”

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka essentially says “I don’t know” since she destroyed her spirit before asking.

<p class="MsoNormal">*Elluka: “But, judging from the fact she took over and manipulated my body, she was a user of the Swap Technique like me.....If so, the possibility of the one who was to become the Magic Kingdom Levianta’s mother--the Ma of 500 years ago’s survival is high.....” (muttering and grumbling to herself)
