Figaro: Hey, Sir Sage, Chloe~!

Akira: Huh, Figaro?

As I turn around to the direction of the voice, I see Figaro waving his hand and walking towards us, accompanied by the rest of the group.

Akira: (I’m glad that there doesn’t seem to be problems on their end.) So you managed to reunite.

Figaro: Yeah, thanks for your concern.

Mitile: Sir Sage, you won’t believe this! Dr Figaro got lost!

Figaro: Hey, Mitile. I told you not to tell Sir Sage, since it’s embarrassing.

Riquet: You’re not one to say, Mitile. Since you left with Owen, we had to search for you, which was a lot of trouble.

Mitile: Riquet… I’m sorry.

Riquet: ...This time, we're going around the festival together, alright?

Mitile: Of course! 

Lennox: I’m glad we could all meet up safely.

Heathcliff: Sir Sage and Chloe too, were you alright?

Akira: I’m fine, but Heathcliff, you look pretty exhausted.

Heathcliff: ….I have been through some things.

Chloe: Heath? You look like you’re in pain. Are you feeling unwell? Ah, could it be that there are so many people that it’s making you feel sick…!?

Heathcliff: No, you see, these witches gave me all these delicious food… And I ate a bit too much.

Akira: Haha, so you were popular too, Heathcliff.

Heathcliff: It’s kind of embarrassing… Sir Sage, please don’t say a single word to Shino about this.

Akira: (I reckon Shino will be delighted to hear that Heathcliff was popular. I can hear him saying, "My master is awesome, isn't he?”)

Murr: Sir Sage, let’s go quickly! The night has only just begun!

Akira: I see that you also managed to regroup with everyone. Where did you go, Murr?

Murr: Who knows, I forgot! That’s why I want to make memories now. Because tonight is the Walpurgis Night, a banquet made for wizards!

[Scene fades to white]

The night-long vivid banquet disappeared like a dream as soon as dawn arrived.

It vanished without leaving a single trace of the scenery that filled the world in its beauty.

A one night dream banquet. Perhaps its ephemeral nature is precisely what makes Walpurgis Night an even more wonderful festival.

Akira: Uuugh, it’s so bright… the morning sun is burning my eyes.

Figaro: It’s because you were playing all night. It’s also my first time spending the festival in this way, so my whole body is sore.

Mitile: But it was really fun! And we also got a lot of presents for everyone.

Riquet: There were also a lot of unusual foods. I wonder if Nero will recreate them in the manor if I ask him to… yawn

Lennox: Riquet, you usually have a very regular daily schedule. You must be tired after pulling an all nighter.

Lennox: You shouldn’t push yourself too hard. Do you want me to give you a ride on the way back?

Riquet: Eh? I-I’m fine.

Lennox: You can lean on me and sleep. Come on.

Chloe: Lennox is so cool… That’s so nice. I’d like something like that to happen to me too, at least once.

Heathcliff: Chloe, are you feeling sleepy too? Do you want me to give you a ride?

Chloe: I didn’t mean that part!

Akira: Owen, you ended up staying until the end as well. Did you have fun?

Owen: ...fhat?

Akira: (He’s munching on something that looks like an apple candy like his life depends on it. In one way or another, I guess he enjoyed himself to the fullest.)

Murr: Sir Sage, did you have fun?

Akira: Yeah, I had lots of fun! 

Figaro: I’m glad to hear that. It was satisfying for us to be able to boast about you, Sir Sage.. And also, thank you about Mitile.

Akira: It was nothing. And really, it was like a dream! But it’s such a waste that once morning arrives, it disappears without leaving any trace. It’s almost like it was all just an illusion…

Figaro: Oh, the banquet hasn’t ended yet. It’s still the Walpurgis Night until we reach home.

Figaro: No need to  rush. Let’s take our time to get home and talk about the memories we made tonight along the way. So that in the dreams you see when you fall asleep, you can see the continuation to this beautiful night for a little longer.

Mitile: He left. Anyways, what were you doing in a place like this? There’s nothing much here--the stalls are all over there.

Figaro: Well, I met an old acquaintance and we became too deep in our conversation.

Murr: Hey, Mitile! About Figaro’s secret…

Mitile: Eh? but we just said that he didn’t have any secret…

Figaro: Hey, Murr…

Murr: Figaro got lost! That’s why it was a relief that Mitile came. Good for him, huh?

Mitile: Did you get lost, Doctor!?

Figaro: ...Maybe I did.

Mitile: Then Dr Figaro, let’s hold hands so we won’t get separated again.

Figaro: Thank you. Since you are doing this just for me, I will take your offer.

Mitile: Ehehe, there are so many mysterious-looking shops over there. We should pick some souvenirs for Nii-sama!

Figaro: If it’s for Rutile, art supplies are probably the best. We should be able to find magma-infused paint or something.

Mitile: Won’t it set the painting ablaze…?

Figaro: Maybe. We won’t know until he uses it. Come on, let’s have fun at the festival.

Mitile: Yes! 

Akira: Neither Mitile or Owen are here… When there’s this many people, it feels like we’re the ones who’re going to get lost.

Chloe: ….

Akira: ….Chloe?

Chloe: Aah, sorry Sir Sage! I got fascinated by the festival…

Akira: I can understand that feeling. This festival is really lovely.

Chloe: Yeah, it’s so fun and lively! It's so shiny and sparkly no matter where you look. It's like being inside a jewel box. I can hear music all around us too. If only Rustica was here…

As expected, Chloe can’t stop thinking about Rustica.

Even if he’s smiling and saying that he’s having fun, there’s a hint of loneliness in Chloe’s eyes, and it’s as if they’re trying to look for the person who’s supposed to stand next to him right now.

Akira: Let’s buy lots of souvenirs for him.

Chloe: Yes… Thank you, Sir Sage. Once we find  Mitile safe and sound, let’s go find a present that will make Rustica happy the most.

Wizard from the banquet: ….Rustica? You know the infamous tragic nobleman of the West?

Chloe: Eh?

Akira: (The tragic nobleman…?) What do you mean?

Wizard from the banquet: It’s exactly like I said. Is he still on his journey finding his lost bride? Even though there’s no end in sight. After committing a sin as heavy as that, it’s only normal…

My skin crawls from those ominous words. Tragedy and sin are words that don’t fit the gentle and kind Rustica.

My heart is pounding so hard, it hurts.

Chloe: ...Sir Sage, let’s go over there. 

Akira: Eh!? Wait, Chloe?

[Footsteps running and scene goes black]

Akira: Chloe, what happened?

Chloe: I’m sorry for pulling you along so suddenly, Sir Sage! But I just didn't want to hear what that person was going to say any further. Because now I can kind of understand why Rustica is reluctant to come…

Akira: Chloe…

It’s an unusual expression on Chloe, his bows are deeply furred. It can be an expression of anger, but also sadness.

...He releases my arm and clenches his fist--so tightly that his knuckles turn white.

Chloe: It’s not like I know everything about Rustica. But he’s a kind person, so that’s why I don’t want him to be sad. Even if what we hear is true…..

Chloe’s side profile is shaking. He closes his eyes, his long eyelashes quivering, trying so hard to hold back his tears.

Akira: (It’s frustrating… I want to be of help, somehow. But I can’t find the words.) 

Chloe: ...But this is a really fun festival, so I still would’ve loved Rustica to be here. It would be good if we could come together someday.

And just like that, Chloe raises his head and smiles at me.

But I know it’s the smile of someone who’s pained and worried about troubling me.

Chloe truly is a kind person.

Akira: ...You’re absolutely right. It would be nice if Rustica could come too next year.

Chloe: Sir Sage too, will you come with me once again?

Akira: Of course, if you are okay with me, then it’s my pleasure!

Chloe: I’m glad… Next year I’ve got to prepare the finest clothes for Rustica as well! They will be so good that it will make everyone turn around and look at him!

Akira: I can imagine him getting surrounded and how chaotic it would be.

Chloe: That’s true. The witches here can be very bold… 

Akira: There were people calling out to you all the time too until we got here.

Chloe: T-that’s not true!

Akira: You look wonderful tonight. Needless to say, you’re always so fashionable and lovely.

Chloe: Uuuh… You’re making me blush…

Chloe hastily turns around to hide his reddened face, then steals a glance towards my direction.

Chloe: ...Sir Sage, thank you for staying by my side. If you weren’t with me, then I would’ve ended the night with a sad feeling in my chest. It’s the long awaited festival only for wizards, so it would be a waste if you don’t make it into an unforgettable night! 

Softly, like a blossoming flower bud, he blooms a captivating gentle smile.

So gentle, so beautiful. Even the blooming fireworks behind his back look dim in comparison.

...I’m glad I could see this smile.

Mitile: …..

Wizard from the banquet: Uhm, Sir Figaro?

Figaro: Everyone, stay away from me for a bit.

Wizard from the banquet: Eh? But…

Figaro: There are no buts. Or do you mean to get in my way?

Wizard from the banquet: I-I would never dare!

[Footsteps running away]

Figaro: Hello there, Mitile. ...Or rather, Murr. A prank like this is really in bad taste. Come on, return to your usual appearance. <<Possideo>>

Murr: Boo, you caught me already.

Figaro: How could I not with all the hints that you gave me? The way you spoke, your expressions and even the air around you was off the mark. 

Murr: Ahaha, I guess I made it too easy for you Next time, I will be more serious about it!

Figaro: For real, what was that for? Even as a prank it was too in poor taste.

Murr: Hey, why won’t you show your true self to Mitile? Does it scare you? Do you find it fun? Or perhaps, because you want to give yourself peace of mind?

Figaro: Murr…

Murr: Figaro, you’re just like an actor standing on a stage without showing a single crack. You put on an act that the audience wants to see to get their applause! Is that fun? Won't your true self disappear at some point?

Figaro: Haha, that’s quite harsh. It’s not like I’m hiding my true self from anyone to begin with. Because the me who was born in the north and the gentle me that lives in the south are both the real me.

Murr: Then why do you lie? Do you like to lie? Or perhaps, do you hate that part of yourself?

Figaro: I like myself. But sometimes it gets tiring to continue being myself. It’s true that it makes me shiver with excitement when people look up to me in awe and fear, but if that’s the only thing I get, I get tired of it. It makes me long for a place where people will get a headache because of me, or scold me and have a conversation with me without holding back. ….Do you get it, Murr?

Murr: Gotcha! So you want to keep it that way. But that’s almost as if your soul is shattered into pieces!

Figaro: When it comes from the person who actually had his soul shattered, it actually rings true.

Murr: I got praised!

Figaro: In any case, those kids are that sort of place for me. I don’t want to ruin it just yet. So can I ask you not to get in my way?

Murr: Ahaha. Oh, and have you noticed, by the way? Mitile and Owen are on their way here.

Figaro: ….That Owen. I knew that’s what he came here for.  Thanks for the warning. Though, I wish you had done it in a slightly more normal way.

Murr: You’re welcome! But you know, if they really learn the truth, can’t you simply erase their memories? It would be really easy for you, right? So why hide yourself? Do you like playing hide and seek?

Figaro: Your curiosity sure is unmatched. That’s right--it would be simple. I’ve done it so many times to others to the point that I get sick of it. But each time I did it, that relationship turned into something fake and cheap. ….I don’t want to do it to those kids. I don’t want my relationship with them to turn into a forgery. 

Murr: I see… Something that can never be fixed once broken gives it a higher rarity value I can get behind that, because I also love things that are the one and only in this world.

Figaro: If that’s the case, then maybe we’re kindred spirits.

Murr: Hmm, I don’t like that!

Figaro: Come on, would anyone say that in front of the person involved in normal circumstances

Murr: Ahaha, well, I hate things that are considered normal! I prefer it crazy!

Mitile: Ah, it's Dr Figaro! 

Owen: …….

Figaro: Hello there, Mitile. I just bumped into Murr. Did Owen bring you here?

Mitile: Y-yes.

Owen: What happened to your followers? Did you kill them already?

Figaro: Ah, sorry, Owen. Were you sulking because I left so suddenly? Sorry for making you look for me.

Owen: What?

Figaro: You too, Mitile. It makes me happy that you’d make such a worried face for me. Did you miss me?

Mitile: Jeez, don’t treat me like a kid! ...But I’m a bit relieved.

Figaro: Eh?

Mitile: I decided to follow  Mr Owen when he said he’d show me Dr Figaro’s secret. But still, I was a bit scared, like I was doing  something bad… But Dr Figaro turned out to be the Dr Figaro that I always knew! There was no secret to be found.

Figaro: … But of course. It’s my motto to live an honest life.

Mitile: Eeh? But you’ve said before that it’s part of your nature to hide things!

Figaro: Ahaha, did I say that? Well, Owen can get lonely easily, so maybe he told a lie so he could check the festival around with Mitile.

Owen: …..

Figaro: Sorry if I’ve disappointed you Owen. But thank you for bringing Mitile all the way here. If you are feeling lonely, how about I go around the festival with you?

Owen: No, even if I die. I hope that mask that you are wearing to conceal your true self becomes so heavy that you are unable to breathe and asphyxiate. Good luck trying to protect something so fragile, I guess? See you.

Mitile: Th-hank you very much for earlier.

Owen: … Let’s play again sometime, Mitile.

Akira: ….They disappeared.

Lennox: He got us. We have to hurry and bring Mitile back.

Chloe: Hey, Sir Sage. What’s going on? Will Mitile be okay? What’s that about Figaro’s secret…?

Akira: Uhm...that’s…

Even if I want to give an explanation, I can’t find the right words.

To tell him about Figaro’s situation would mean to expose that he’s actually a Northern Wizard, no matter what.

I feel that I shouldn’t be revealing that secret so carelessly, so I’m unable to answer Chloe.

Chloe: ...Sorry to put you on the spot like that, Sir Sage.

Just like that, as if catching onto the circumstances, Chloe simply smiles.

Chloe: For now, finding those two takes priority!

Heathcliff: That’s right. For Owen and Mitile to be all alone does make me worry…

Akira: Th-thank you very much! Let’s all cooperate to find them!

Riquet: Of course. I’m the one who was supposed to go with Mitile to check out the festival. I can’t forgive Owen for jumping in front of the queue.

Even if I haven’t explained everything, everyone agrees to help.

Lennox: Sir Sage, let’s split into two groups. This place is too big.

Akira: Got it. Who  should I go with?

Lennox: I’d like for either Heathcliff or Chloe to be with Sir Sage. Riquet will come along with me.

Chloe: Then, I will go with Sir Sage.

Heathcliff: Understood. Take care, both of you.

Wizard from the banquet: Oh, Great Wizard Figaro, it is an honour to see you again this year. There are a lot of stories I’d like for you to hear—a year’s worth of them.

Witch from the banquet: Sir Figaro, please guide us. Bestow us with your words.

Figaro: Sure, I will hear you out. It’s the fruit of your year-long effort. I’m sure it’s something worth listening to.

Wizard from the banquet: Y-yes, of course it is!

Figaro: So, who wants to be the first? I’m okay with anyone. I’m a kind man, unlike someone. I won’t do anything scary to you. It has been that way all this time, right?

Wizard from the banquet: I-it’s just as you say… Great wizard from the north, Sir Figaro.

Witch from the banquet: Please, grant us your wisdom, Sir Figaro.

???: No way…

Figaro: Eh?

Mitile: Sir Figaro, I can’t believe that you’re a Northern Wizard…!

Figaro: ...Mitile!?

Riquet: Mitile isn’t here…

Heathcliff: I thought it would be easy to spot someone like Owen...

Lennox: There’s too many people. It’s really lively, so it’s difficult to differentiate a voice. Please be careful so that you won’t get separated from me.

Witch from the banquet: Oh my, what a cute group of wizards. Good evening. Is this your first time at the Walpurgis Night? I could accompany you if you want.

Lennox: We are looking for someone. Sorry, but try someone else.

Witch from the banquet: Don’t be so cold~! It’s a long awaited night, so it would be a waste  not to enjoy it to your heart’s content! 

Witch from the banquet: Hello there, pretty boy… What do you think of this hat? It’s a very special item made of the threads of a cortina spider. I’m sure it will look great on you. I’m willing to bet.

Heathcliff: Eh? You mean me…? I’m fine like this, sorry.

Riquet: Did you see a pair of wizards around here? A boy who is around the same height as me with chocolate coloured hair and a tall man with eyes of mismatching colours.

Witch from the banquet: I might have seen them, or I might have not. Because tonight is Walpurgis Night, you see? A night where nothing gets in the way for us wizards. Surely those two are having fun somewhere, so why not you enjoy yourselves too?

Riquet: He’s my friend. I can’t leave him alone.

Witch from the banquet: Hi there, cutie. Do you like sweet things? I know a really good stall over there, so how about we go together? It’s a very special candy that you can only eat tonight--only once every year! I will treat you!

Riquet: A special candy… N-no, I’m fine!

Witch from the banquet: What about you, pretty boy? Do you like sweets? Or perhaps something spicy? There’s also plenty of fine alcohol to choose from. 

Heathcliff: We are looking for our precious friend. Your kindness is flattering, but please let us go. I don’t want our memory of such a splendid festival to be a sad one.

Witch from the banquet: Fufu, how kind of you… You’ve become more and more lovely in my eyes. Will you let me give you a lovely memory as a gift?

Heathcliff: No, I really don’t need anything… Please let us get through!

Lennox: This is troubling…

Chloe: Huh? Murr is also gone!? 

Akira: Eh, he didn’t get lost, did he…? Should we go look for him?

Chloe: Hmm... But it's not rare that he'd disappear before we could realise.

Heathcliff: Maybe he found something that caught his attention and headed over there…

Akira: You could be right… It looks like it’s not the first time he’s here anyways, so I think he will be okay?

Chloe: That’s true! I’m a tiny bit worried, but we should go around at our own pace.

Riquet: There are so many colours, it’s blinding my eyes…

Mitile: But it also makes me feel kind of excited! The eyes of that fish on that huge sign are moving while flashing! Riquet, should we go and check it out?

Lennox: There’s a lot of people. If you go alone you might end up getting separated from the rest of the group. I will go with you.

Mitile and Riquet: Okaaay!

Akira: (Lennox is so reliable. Those two will be okay with him.)

Chloe: Amazing, this place is full of things I have never seen before! Hey, Heath, Sir Sage. Is that food? Or is it a shoe shop?

Heathcliff: Maybe it’s food that's made to look like shoes… No, actually, what is it?

Akira: (I’m glad they look like they’re  having fun. I was worried they would be upset that Shino and Rustica couldn’t come.) (It’s a festival after all, so we should browse around and have fun.)

Mitile: Look at this, Sir Sage! We scooped out an unusual fish!

Riquet: Mitile and I got it together. Its eyes are shining. Lovely, isn’t it?

Akira: You’re right, it’s really pretty! That’s quite a big catch. Probably the size of both of my hands.

Heathcliff: It truly is a big fish. I wonder if we can keep it at the Manor…

Riquet: No—apparently it’s edible. If we give it to Nero, I wonder if he’ll cook it into something delicious?

Chloe: Eh, you’re eating it!? 

Lennox: I have never caught this kind of fish before, either.

Mitile: The stall next to it with the  birds also looked interesting! Sir Sage, let’s go—

Owen: ...Hey. Do you want me to show you something fun?

When I turn to look at Owen, who suddenly started talking, he’s smiling like a child who has just found a new toy.

Mitile: Did you see some interesting stalls? 

Owen: It’s something even better. Mitile. Don’t you want to know about Figaro’s secret?

Mitile: Eh, Dr Figaro’s secret…?

Lennox: ….Owen. 

Akira: (Could it be that the reason Owen came with us is…)

When I look again at Owen, our eyes meet and he smiles like he’s having more and more fun. 

“Even if you notice it now, it’s already too late.” It also looks like he’s laughing and saying that.

Owen: That’s right. If we go now, you can discover a very special secret. I can lead you there. Aren’t you curious? We are talking about the secret of the doctor you love so much, after all.

Mitile: ……

Riquet: No, you can’t. Mitile and I are going to check out the festival together! Isn’t that right, Mitile?

Akira: Besides, it’s dangerous for you two to go alone! It’s their first festival, so if something bad happens, it will be a problem. Let’s just enjoy the festival together with everyone, okay?

Owen: It will be alright. If anything happens, I will protect him. Hey, Mitile. I’ve always wanted us to get along better.

Mitile: Mr Owen…

Owen: Don’t you care about Figaro? Then you should get to know him better. Besides, keeping secrets is not a good thing.

Mitile seems to find himself hesitating at Owen’s temptation.

He looks uneasy. And yet, it’s also as if he’s firmly determined. Those contradicting thoughts are reflected upon Mitile’s quivering eyes.

Akira: I’m well aware that Owen is a very strong Wizard! But… Whatever the case, you shouldn’t!

Heathcliff: Sir Sage…?

Mitile: I’m sorry, Sir Sage, everyone. I want to go with Mr. Owen. I already have a feeling that Dr Figaro is hiding something from us. But it always gets brushed off... If he does have a secret, then I want to know it. Because I love Dr Figaro so much. Mr Owen, please take me with you!

Owen: Of course. Come over here, Mitile.

With an exceptionally kind smile on his face, Owen offers his hand.

While hesitating, Mitile reaches his hand out and grasps it.

Akira: Mitile…!

Owen: <<Cure Memini>>

Chloe: <<Suispicibo Voitengok>> !

The moment Chloe chanted his spell, everyone’s outfit changed in an instant.

Mitile: Whoa! Oh… this is so cool! This robe is so beautiful…

Leno: It’s impressive work, as always. Heathcliff looks good in it too.

Heath: Th—thank you. I look like I became a splendid wizard.. Chloe, I… I’m so proud I can participate in Walpurgis Night in this outfit.

Chloe: Y—you’re praising me too much! But, thank you too!

Owen: ...There’s one for me too?

Chloe: Yep. I made everyone’s outfit so it’ll be ok if anyone wants to join in later! I made it while thinking about you, Owen, but what do you think? I used the night sky as an idea for this design, and I like it a lot! I’ll fix it immediately if it’s too tight for you or something, so just tell me.

Akira: As expected of Chloe. It’s perfect for a night festival. It’s very beautiful!

Chloe: Ehehe, thank you, Sir Sage. It’ll make me happy if everyone can have fun in this outfit tonight.

Figaro: Now that we’re done with getting changed into this beautiful outfit, no one forgot anything right?

Mitile: No problem, Dr Figaro. I made sure to bring some remedy too, so we’ll be okay if anyone trips themself over in the festival!

Riquet: I brought some pocket money too. There’s no blunder in my preparation!

Murr: What about your head to sing songs? Are your arms and legs attached properly to your body for dancing?

Leno: I don’t think anyone will forget that…

Heathcliff: Once we reach the Northern Country, we will go to the Wicked Mountain with our brooms. Sir Sage, please ride on the back of my broom.

Akira: Got it. I’ll be counting on you.

Murr: Alright! Let’s depart to the dazzling wizards’ festival!

Akira: ...Whoa…!

Contrary to its frightening name, the first thing that spread out in our field of vision is the dazzling blossoms of light that tear apart the shades of night in the Wicked Mountain. Colorful fireworks bloom continuously.

Lanterns that emit phosphorescence swim through the sky like a school of fish. From the rocky mountains, smoke can be seen rising to the rhythm of the music that can be heard from somewhere.

When I look below me, there's a lake covered in blossoming flowers and a river that shines in rainbow colors. The vibrant waterside is fully lined with boat stalls which fly into the sky occasionally. 

Regardless in the sky or on the ground, there are wizards singing and dancing. Be it on the water surface or on a crater, nothing can interrupt them. Nothing can restrain them.

It was frightening it could send a shiver down my spine, but it was so beautiful I couldn't look away. It was truly a dream-like scenery.

Akira: ...So this is Walpurgis Night.

Heathcliff: It’s amazing… just looking at it overwhelms me.

Murr: Just watching is boring! Come on, let’s play too!

Riquet: Whoa, Murr! Please wait for us!

I thought you’re supposed to be nervous when you arrive at somewhere you’ve never been, but I can feel myself getting excited and my legs would move on their own.

I can’t tell if everyone feels the same, but the restless and unstable broom descends more awkwardly than usual at the Wicked Mountain.

Banquet’s Wizard: My oh my, we have some rare visitors. Welcome, Sir Sage, to the wizards’ banquet, to the Walpurgis Night!

Akira: G—good evening.

As soon as we touched down, we were met with welcomes and greetings from all around us.

Including greetings that Mitile shouldn’t be hearing.

Banquet’s Wizard: Sir Figaro has arrived! Our warmest welcome to you. Everyone has been waiting for your presence. Please, right this way.

Figaro: Aah, thanks. ...Sir Sage, Leno. Sorry for asking you this early, but I’m counting on you.

Akira: No problem, leave it to us.

Lennox: Please take care too, Dr Figaro…

Figaro casually waved his hand and went away quietly.

Following after Dr Figaro, who's acting like he always does, was a group of politely-mannered wizards. There was something unbalanced about it, and it was terribly strange to look at.

Mitile: Huh? Dr Figaro? He was right there a second ago. Did we get separated…?

Lennox: It seems that he met his old acquaintances. Let’s go around the festival by ourselves first.

Mitile: I see. I wanted to walk with Doctor, so it’s a little unfortunate...

Heathcliff: I’m sure he’ll be back soon. I think Dr Figaro wants to go around the festival with you too, Mitile.

Mitile: ...Alright! Thank you very much, Mr Heathcliff.

Chloe: Hey hey, Murr. Tell me if you have any stalls that you recommend… Huh? Murr isn’t here either?!

Chloe: ……

Akira: ...Chloe? Did something happen? You look kind of down.

Chloe: Sir Sage! ...Uhm, the truth is, I tried inviting Rustica to Walpurgis Night, but he turned me down.

Akira: Wait, he did that?! I thought the wizards from the West love festivals and fun things…

Chloe: Yeah, Rustica loves fun things too. Back when we travelled together, we went around a lot of festivals.

Akira: Then, maybe he’s not good with crowds? Just like Heathcliff…

Chloe: Hmm, I don’t think it’s like that. ...he said that he had a bad experience in Walpurgis Night. He doesn’t really remember it though. But, seeing Rustica with a sad-looking smile makes me sad too…

Akira: Chloe…

Chloe: Ah, sorry Sir Sage! Rustica doesn’t seem to mind it. He also told me to enjoy myself. That’s why I shouldn’t be sad. I need to make an outfit for everyone and make it a super fun night.

Akira: Chloe… ...Oh, that reminds me! You see, I’m going to the festival too!

Chloe: Wait, really? Sir Sage is coming with us too, yay!

Akira: It’s a shame that Rustica can’t join us, but I can tag along as much as you want for souvenir shopping!

Chloe: Thank you, Sir Sage. I gotta choose the best souvenir for Rustica! Let’s play all night with everyone at Walpurgis Night!

Akira: Of course!

In a blink of an eye, Walpurgis Night has arrived. Wizards, with expressions each in their own way, gathered.

Figaro: I guess this is everyone now.

Akira: It’s fewer than I thought. I thought everyone was going to participate.

Figaro: We won’t force the stay-at-home wizards. This is more than expected, actually.

Heath: I did try asking Mr Faust and the others… Actually, they were surprised to hear that I’m participating.

Lennox: That person doesn’t deal well with that kind of crowded place, after all.

Mitile: It would’ve been nice if Nii-sama could join us too.

Akira: He already had plans with Mithra, right? It’s rare for those two to have plans together.

Mitile: He said it’s still too early for me and didn’t tell me what they’re doing. I wonder where they are planning to hang out together…

Akira: (That kind of wording sounds like it can cause a lot of misunderstandings…)

Riquet: I don’t think they’re going to go out and play. Shino said they’re going to go on a magic training. He was getting ready because he’s also participating in it.

Akira: Mithra doesn’t seem like the type who would want to reschedule after all… the fact that he’s going to train them is already surprising. (I wonder if he decided it on a whim? I hope they’ll finish the training safely.)

Riquet: Rutile isn’t here, but I will be with Mitile, so it’s okay.

Mitile: Thank you, Riquet!

Akira: (Mitile and Riquet are really close to each other. Just looking at them makes me feel soothed…)

Owen: I’m going too.

Figaro: ...Owen?

Owen: I want to enjoy Walpurgis Night too. It’s okay, Right? Dr Figaro.

Figaro: ……

Owen: Besides, I don’t get the chance to talk with Mitile and Chloe that much. I want to have a good chat with them.

Mitile: Wait, is that so?

Owen: Yep. You’re always having fun with everyone. I thought it’s nice.

I know this is rude, but I can’t help but feel uncomfortable about Owen’s words when he smiled.

Surely it's not a bad thing when Owen takes the initiative, but...

Owen: How about you, Chloe?

Chloe: Uh, I wanted to try talking with Owen too. I’m sorry for thinking that you’re a little scary!

Owen: Don’t worry about it. ...but, if Dr Figaro says no, then I won’t go with you. I don’t want to cause any trouble to you all, after all.

Figaro: ...Fine. But don’t act on your own like you always do.

Owen: Okaay, Dr Figaro.

Murr: Hey hey, Chloe. You prepared an outfit for tonight, right?

Akira: I want to see Chloe’s new pieces too!

Chloe: Of course! Then, without further ado… <<Suispicibo Voitengok>> !

Lennox: I’ve been there a few times, but the wizards who participate in the festival all go to Dr Figaro to consult or to report their current status. I suppose you can say he’s the leading actor of the festival.

Figaro: Stop it Leno, you’re making me blush. Well honestly, they’re just boot-licking me so I won’t kill them. It’s not like I’ll do that anyway.

Akira: ...Figaro is really a great wizard, huh.

Figaro: It’s not that big of a deal though. It’s just that I don’t want Mitile to find out about that part of me. He already thinks of me as a kind, but a little hopeless and troublesome young man.

Leno: I think young man is an exaggeration.

Figaro: You know, sometimes you say really blunt things to me...…

Leno: That’s not my intention, though.

Figaro: ...anyhow, it’s like that. If I’m absent, the wizards might come all the way here to greet me. That would be troubling, right?

Akira: I suppose so. I would be surprised if there’s a line of wizards in front of the Magic Manor…

Figaro: So, Sir Sage, Leno. Can you come to this festival too?

Akira: Huh?

Leno: Did you say us?

Figaro: I have the intention of covering it up somehow, but please lend me a hand if something happens. I’m begging you.

Leno: I don’t mind, but…

Akira: I want to help too, but it’s a wizards-only festival, right? Is it okay if I come too?

Figaro: Well, of course. You are our precious Sir Sage after all.

Akira: (...so it’s okay for me to come too.)

Suddenly, I thought of the conversation in the lounge and pictured everyone’s sparkly eyes in my head.

It’s a festival where wizards can act freely and enjoy themselves to the fullest. Of course it’ll be fun! Just thinking about it makes me feel excited.

Akira: Then, I would love to! I was actually thinking about how fun it would be.

Figaro: Ahaha, Sir Sage is honest, huh. Thank you, you two. It is a festival after all, so please enjoy it.

Owen: ...Hmm, how interesting.

Bradley: Whoa, if it isn’t Owen. The hell are you grinning about?

Owen: Hey, Bradley. What do you think of when a jar of honey you’ve tried to put away so carefully gets knocked over by a cat?

Bradley: Hah? What are you talking about out of nowhere?

Owen: You can’t be angry or sad, right? I mean, it’s your fault for trying to hide it after all.

Bradley: ...I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I bet you’re thinking about something sickening again. Don’t you dare drag me into this.

Owen: Ahaha. I wonder about that. When the secret you don’t want others to know gets exposed--I’m certain it’ll be an absolutely exciting moment.

Chloe: Oh, there you are. Rustica, do you have a moment?

Rustica: Hello there, Chloe. Do you need anything from me? I wonder if it’s an invitation for an afternoon tea.

Chloe: That’s also wonderful, but today, it’s something a little bit different. Truth is, Murr told me that Walpurgis Night actually exists!

Rustica: Walpurgis Night…

Chloe: He told me that it’s a super-duper fun festival only for wizards. Hey, Rustica, let’s go together!

Rustica: ……

Chloe: Rustica?

Rustica: ...Aah, I’m sorry, Chloe. I got caught up in my own thoughts.

Chloe: Is something bothering you?

Rustica: Just a little. I’ll have to say no to that festival. I know you went through all the trouble to invite me, but I’m sorry.

Chloe: Huh, Why?! ...Could it be that you don’t want to go with me?

Rustica: Of course that’s not true! I’m sure anywhere I go will be fun if I’m with you, Chloe. It’s just that—I feel like I’ve been to Walpurgis Night before. I don’t remember it clearly, but I think I was told something cruel there.

Chloe: Huh? But, it’s a festival only for wizards, so why…

Rustica: Please don’t look so sad, Chloe. If it’s something that I would forget, then I’m sure it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Chloe: But...It’s sad for someone as kind as Rustica to go through such an unpleasant experience.

Rustica: Fufu, I think Chloe is the kind person here. Nevertheless, I want you to forgive me for not being able to accompany you. I hope the Walpurgis Night will be an unforgettable special night for you.

Mitile: Riquet, should we participate too? I’ll invite Nii-sama and the others so we can go with everyone!

Riquet: If Mitile is going then I want to go too. Walpurgis Night… I wonder what kind of place it’s like.

Mitile: I’m sure it’s a fun place! Maybe there will be Mother’s acquaintances too…

The surprise and expectations after discovering that the Walpurgis Night was not just a legend turned everyone into a festive mood in the blink of an eye.

Looking at them talking to each other restlessly looks genuinely fun, and it makes me happy too even though I’m only watching.

Chloe: Come join us too, Heath. Invite Shino too!

Heathcliff: Thank you. But, I’m not really good with crowded places…

Chloe: Oh, right. Sorry, I asked something selfish without thinking about Heath’s feelings…

Heathcliff: Oh, no it’s okay! I should be the one apologizing. You invited me, and yet…

Akira: (Heathcliff and Chloe can act with consideration so their conversation feels so kind…)

While watching those two, I asked Murr about something that has been on my mind.

Akira: Murr, what kind of outfit does everyone wear on Walpurgis Night? If there’s a set dress-code then we should get it ready, right?

Murr: Any outfit that you like will do! To dress up or not, to be sparkly or worn-out—there's a lot of options!

Chloe: I see… Then, is an outfit I make okay too? I want to try making an outfit that can make everyone look absolutely fantastic!

Murr: Of course! I want an outfit that can turn everyone upside down. It might be faster if I turn myself upside down, though?

Chloe: Whoa, Murr! If you do a somersault here, you’ll hit Heath!

Murr: Heath, you should join me and turn upside down! I’m sure it’ll be fun. If you don’t like crowds, then you can just fly in the sky!

Heathcliff: …… If Chloe is making the outfit, then I want to try going too. To the Walpurgis Night…

Chloe: A—are you sure?

Akira: I want to see Chloe’s brand new clothes too!

Chloe: Thank you Heath and Sir Sage. I’ll do my best! I should decide on the fabric first…

Akira: (Walpurgis Night, huh. If it’s a festival for the wizards then I wonder if the other wizards are coming too?)

Figaro: Hey there, Sir Sage. Good day.

Lennox: Hello.

Akira: Good day Figaro, Lennox.

Figaro: I heard some lively noises there. Were you talking about something fun with everyone?

Akira: Sorry for all the noise. Are you two okay with not joining in the conversation?

Lennox: The young wizards might hold back if we’re there, so…

Figaro: Hold on there, Lennox. Can you not treat me like I’ve already retired too? Sir Sage, I’m still young, right?

Akira: You two are still very young! Ah, but it’s a conversation that might have something to do with everyone in the Magic Manor.

Figaro: Even us? I’m a little interested in that.

Akira: Murr was talking about a wizards’ festival called Walpurgis Night.

Figaro: Huh? Walpurgis Night…?

Akira: It seems like Murr is going to take Mitile to the festival with him. Are you two going to participate too?

Figaro: ...that’s troubling.

Akira: I—is it a festival that’s too dangerous for Mitile to participate?

Figaro: Hmm. It’s not like that, but…

Lennox: Dr Figaro.

Figaro: ...Yeah. I should tell Sir Sage about this properly. Aah, Walpurgis Night isn’t a dangerous festival so you don’t need to worry. Truth is, I’m invited to that festival every year.

Akira: Is that so? Like, as a medic room’s doctor?

Figaro: Haha, it would’ve been better if that’s the case.  Right now, I’m the kind Dr Figaro of the Southern Country, but I’m actually from the Northern Country. I’ve lived a little longer than the other wizards too.

Akira: Do you mean… (He’s invited as Oz’s senior, and as a really strong wizard from the North.)

He’s always gentle and aloof so it’s easy to forget, but Figaro is also a wizard who has been around for a long time.

Figaro: Sir Snow and Sir White don't drink, so they are reluctant to go to that kind of place. Oz is Oz, you know? He doesn’t have the sociable personality to show up at festivals.

Akira: You’re right. Snow and White aside, I can’t imagine Oz going to a festival gleefully…

Figaro: Then it’s inevitably my role to be invited to Walpurgis Night. Sometimes living a long life is a little bothersome.

Murr: And then, after poking around a bit, the mountain started shining and it exploded!

Chloe: Huh?! Why? But it had zero factor that could lead to an explosion!

Murr: No clue! But everyone was so hyped up. It’s a festival that only happens once a year after all; it’ll be a waste if you don’t enjoy it to the fullest!

Riquet: D—did you really do that? Amazing how no one scolded you…

Heathcliff: The fact that they got hyped up instead makes it sound like an amazing festival…

Mitile: Perhaps, everyone attending were all wizards like Murr?

Akira: Hm, I wonder what’s happening? Seems like they’re having an exciting conversation.

Under the bright sunlight, laughter can be heard around Murr. The members around him: Chloe, Riquet, Mitile, and Heathcliff, are a combination rich in variety.

Akira: (I wonder what kind of connection they have? Though, people from different countries look like they're having fun together. It's nice to see that.)

Murr: Heya, Sir Sage!

Akira: Good day, Murr. Everyone too. You sounded like you’re having fun. What were you talking about?

Murr: We’re talking about Walpurgis Night. Does it exist in your world too?

Akira: Walpurgis…? (Feels like I’ve heard of it before, but I’m not sure…)

Riquet: It seems like Sir Sage doesn’t know about it either. We’re in the same boat; I’ve only heard about it today too.

Heathcliff: Walpurgis Night is a festival that is also called the Wizards’ Banquet. 

Akira: The Wizards’ Banquet… What kind of festival is it?

Heathcliff: Truth is, I’ve never participated in it either. I didn’t think that it was actually real…

Chloe: I also thought it was all just a fairy-tale! Moreover, the content of the Walpurgis Night Festival told in each country seems to be completely different too.

Akira: (I suppose it’s like a legendary festival. Maybe it’s like the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in my world? I feel like it’s a bit different, though.)

Riquet: It seems like a strange festival. Mitile, how is the story being passed down in the Southern Country?

Mitile: In the Southern Country, it’s being told as a festival to celebrate the coming of spring. Humans and wizards, and even spirits of the dead and animals come to celebrate together.

Chloe: A celebration that doesn’t leave anyone behind sounds so warm and nice. It’s so Southern Country-like!

Mitile: T—thank you very much! It makes me happy when you say it like that. Do they tell it differently in the Western Country?

Chloe: Hmm. Well, in the Western Country, it is told as a banquet where wizards enjoy their time together with the dead and the demons, I think? To prevent wizards and demons from getting angry, humans drink alcohol together and fool around for that day only until sunrise.

Akira: Drinking bout with demons sounds a bit terrifying, but as people who like anything that's fun, it sounds like a Western Country-like festival.

Chloe: Right?! I was thinking about how interesting it would be if a festival like that actually exists. How is it like in the Eastern Country?

Compared to everyone who looked like they’re having fun, Heathcliff looked a little troubled. He nervously opened his mouth.

Heathcliff: If I remember correctly, it’s told that it’s a night where humans don’t go outside at all and spend the night without ever putting out any lights to prevent an encounter with wizards and ghosts.

Mitile: G—ghosts…? It doesn’t sound like a festival at all.

Heathcliff: You’re right… It’s more of a misfortune-like tale in the Eastern Country after all.

Akira: But if you spend a whole night with lights all over the city, I think it’ll look like a warm scenery. If it’s okay to keep the lights on for the whole night, you can also secretly do a home party!

Heathcliff: It makes me happy when you say it like that. Thank you very much, Sir Sage.

Akira: Thank you too, it was a very interesting talk. Even if the legend is about the same festival, each country’s culture is different so it’s interesting. (The South who celebrates with everyone and the West who wants to make a racket and have fun at any rate. The East who protects themselves from danger… You can feel the difference in each country’s character.)

Riquet: But they’re all just legends in the end right? What is the real Walpurgis Night Festival like? Murr has participated in it, right?

When Riquet asked, Murr’s eyes started to sparkle as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Murr: It’s a festival where wizards from all around the world gather at the Wicked Mountain in the Northern Country! A wizards-only festival for the wizards! A night where we forget about the laws and rules. The only rule there is to do whatever you like! We’re gonna sing, dance, and make noise throughout the night!

Chloe: To do whatever you like… it sounds fun just imagining it!

Mitile: Uhm, if it’s a festival for the wizards, then is it possible for us to participate in it too?

Murr: Anyone can participate! Of course, I will too!

Chloe: Uhm, hey, Murr! Is it okay if I go with you too?

Murr: Of course it’s okay! Let’s go together!

Chloe: Yay!

Mitile: Munch munch. This sandwich is so delicious…!

Akira: The weather is so nice. Thank you for inviting me to a picnic.

Rutile: You’re welcome! I used to do this with Mitile back at the South Country too. I’m so happy we’re able to come here with everyone today!

Rutile: ...Ah, Mitile. You have sauce on your mouth.

Figaro: Ahahah. It’s a privilege for cute children to look good with sauce on their mouth.

Mitile: Hmph. Don’t make fun of me by calling me a child! Dr Figaro has sauce near your mouth too!

Figaro: Whoa…! How many years has it been since someone wiped my mouth? Alright, next is…

Lennox: Uhm… What are you doing, Dr Figaro.

Figaro: There’s sauce on your mouth too. I’m the type of person who won’t stay put when I lose after all.

Lennox: There’s definitely no sauce on my mouth, but… Next is……

Mitile: Whoa…! Mr Leno, why did you wipe my mouth?! If you look at the order, it should’ve been Sir Sage next…!

Lennox: Because you had it again.

Mitile: Uu… Thank you very much. Though I’ll make sure to be careful so I won’t get my mouth wiped again next time…!

Paper Bird - Mitile’s Character Episode Translation

Mitile: There…! Woah, it flew for quite a distance this time!

Akira: You look like you’re having fun. Oh, is that a paper plane?

Mitile: Paper… plain?

Akira: A plane is a tool to fly in the air in my world, but… what do you call that thing Mitile is holding?

Mitile: This is a paper bird! It’s a play that has existed since long ago, I used to play this with everyone back at Southern Country.

Akira: I see. I used to make a similar toy when I was little too.

Akira: I used to imagine how fun it would be to ride the paper plane—I mean, the paper bird, and fly through the sky!

Mitile: That does sound fun! Please wait for a moment…

Mitile: <<Ortonik Sealsispilce>> !

Akira: Oh…! The paper bird is growing bigger—

Akira: And it burned!

Mitile: I’m so sorry, Sir Sage…! I wanted to make Sir Sage’s dream come true but…

Mitile: Hmph! They’re so helpless…!

Akira: Mitile, what are you doing?

Mitile: I’m cleaning up! Mr Bradley and Mr Mithra had a fight here and they made a mess.

Akira: I see… so that’s why there are so many fallen leaves here.

Mitile: Exactly! Mr Bradley’s movements were so fast and bold, so a lot of leaves fell down…

Mitile: It was so bad! Mr Mithra’s magic too, he chanted it like he was whispering, but it was really strong…

Akira: (is he angry…? Or is he complimenting them…?)

Mitile: I think the worst was when they both struck their magic at each other at the same time! I couldn’t tell who will win so my heart was beating so fast…

Mitile: Anyhow, northern wizards are the worst. I don’t think they’re a little cool at all.

Sleepover - Mitile’s Character Episode Translation

Akira: It’s Mitile and Riquet. What are you talking about?

Mitile: We are meeting up for a sleepover! I was just inviting Riquet to it.

Riquet: What’s a sleepover?

Mitile: It’s when two friends that get along really well sleep in the same room! Sleeping next to each other and having secret talks until late…

Riquet: What’s with that…

Riquet: That’s made exactly for us!

Mitile: Right!? Even better, Mr Chloe made matching clothes for us!

Riquet: Wah! Clothes made for sleeping? They are really cute…!

Mitile: Sir Sage, do you want to come over as well?

Akira: Eh? Would it be okay for me to go? 

Mitile: Of course! Today is a special day, so let’s stay up until really late.

Mitile: But keep it a secret from Nii-sama!

Magic Practice - Mitile’s Character Episode Translation

Akira: Mitile. It looks like the table has been set for dinner already.

Mitile: Sir Sage! Thank you very much. I will get going now! 

Akira: Were you in the middle of doing something?

Mitile: I was reviewing the lesson I received today from Dr Figaro.

Mitile: But when I tried to do it alone I wasn’t able to do it properly… I was going to ask him once again during dinner.

Option: What do you do when you are alone?

Mitile: I study about magic, practice it or read about it. I also do medicines or go to fetch the ingredients.

Mitile: The other day I borrowed a magic book from Sir Arthur to read, it was truly educational!

Option: Do you ever call anyone into your room?

Mitile: I call Riquet over quite often! Nii-sama, Mr Leno and Dr Figaro too, we visit each other to chat often.

Mitile: Also, sometimes Mr Murr comes over out of nowhere surprising me. I wonder if it’s some kind of game…?

Option: What do you usually do during the day?

Mitile: Riquet tidies up his room as soon as he wakes up, so I’m following his example and doing the same. Though I take a break sometimes…

Mitile: Before going to bed, I review my lessons, prepare for next day’s lessons and if there’s homework I also do that. 

Mitile: Today I was practicing a kind of magic that makes you able to dry a dripping wet cloth in an instant.

Akira: That’s really handy! If you manage to do it, please show it to me.

Mitile: ….! Of course! If the time comes in which it suddenly starts to rain out of nowhere, I will dry up Sir Sage’s clothes!
