Living beings (Lato & Berrien)

[Dance Practice Room]

When the butlers were practicing for the play.

Berrien: “Well then, let’s do the next scene. First we’ll start with my lines…”

*Close-up* Lato: “Oh? That is…”

Berrien: “Huh? What’s the matter, Lato? Squatting at the corner of the room… Did you find something?”

Lato: “Kufufu… No, it’s nothing. I definitely didn’t catch something or anything like that.”

Berrien: “I-is that so? That said, you seem to be holding something…”

Lato: “By the way, Mr. Berrien. This question is completely unrelated to the previous topic, but do you think it’s okay if the existence of ‘bugs’ went extinct?”

Berrien: “What… bugs? L-let’s see… indeed, I’m afraid of bugs. But I don’t think ‘it’s better if they go extinct’ just because of that. Both they and us are the same… we are living beings.”

Lato: “I see… Understood. Well… I will quickly return, so I'll take a breather in the garden for a bit.”

Berrien: “Y-yes… Sure.”

Click (Lato left the room)

Lato: “Kufufu… please don’t struggle that much. You’ll be free soon…”

Berrien: “............ No, let’s stop pretending it isn't there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lato.”

[Espoir, new theater]

When the butlers were doing rehearsals on the stage.

Lato: “Mr. Fennesz. Regarding this scene… Don’t you think it’ll be thrilling for the audience if we descend to the seats?”

Fennesz: “Huh… descending from the stage to the audience seats…? Hmm~... It does allow for an exciting performance. But a single misstep,and it looks like panic will occur…”

Lato: “It’s fine. I’ll descend while speaking my lines so it’ll look like a performance. And… right in front of the lord’s eyes in the audience seat, perform the closing lines…. Kufufu. I’m sure they’ll be pleased.”

Fennesz: “......The lord’s seat is in the box seat on the second floor, though.”

Lato: “What… that’s too bad. If I can’t make the lord’s heart pound, there’s no meaning in descending to the audience seat.”

Fennesz: “Hmm~... Making the lord’s heart pound, huh…. How about we all stare at the lord at the same time?”

Lato: “Oh… what a wonderful idea.”

Fennesz: Fufu… Well then, let’s decide on the timing to stare.”

[Espoir, new theater]

When the butlers were doing rehearsals on the stage.

Miyaji: “Fennesz. How was my acting just now?”

Fennesz: “Yes! I think it was very splendid.”

Miyaji: “Thank you. But I want to do better in the actual performance.

If you could give it to me straight... which areas do you think I could work on?”

Fennesz: “L-let’s see… well then, I can give you one…”

~~~

Miyaji: “I see,  indeed… If I stand here, people on the edge of the theater will get a better view. Fennesz, you’re really something.  Your consideration for the audience is reaching all the way to the back rows. It's great how you're taking into account everyone's perspective."

Fennesz: “N-no… I just happened to notice.  Besides… you’re easy to talk to, Mr. Miyaji. Even though you’re older than me… You’re taking an opinion from a junior like me into consideration.“

Miyaji: "Hmm... Even if you say that, I’m still inexperienced in many aspects. It's only natural to listen to the opinion of someone more experienced.  Well... then, let's practice our standing positions again."

Fennesz: “Yes…! Let’s do our best.”

[Dance Practice Room]

When the butlers were practicing for the play.

Miyaji: "Berrien, about your final lines... Is it true that this scene is based on your childhood...?"

Berrien: "Yes... I'm drawing on my past experiences. I haven’t told you, Mr. Miyaji. My apologies for not saying anything until now..."

Miyaji: “No… it’s not something you have to apologize for. As for me, I haven't shared everything about my childhood either.  We've been friends for a long time, but there's still plenty we don't know about each other. But you know... moments like this, discovering a new side of you, Berrien, even just a bit… It makes me happy."

Berrien: "Mr. Miyaji… Fufu. Thank you very much. It seems we still have plenty of opportunities left to get to know each other better.”

Miyaji: ”Yeah. It would be a shame to immediately use up those opportunities. The past is finite... but the future still has plenty in store."

Berrien: “Indeed ♪ Let's take our time to deepen our mutual understanding."

[pardi-real]

The dynamics between the butlers 🌹

Lucas & Nac

Lucas: “Morning~”

Nac: “Aah, please wait!”

Lucas:

Bad with mornings

He messes up a lot when getting ready without fully waking up, so Nac fixes it for him

When he stays up late doing research, he messes up twice as much

Even if his eyes are open, it's still hard to tell if he has woken up or not

Nac:

Actually he's always waking up in a bad mood, so to hide it, he wakes up earlier than anyone else

Always dressed perfectly

Lucas & Lono

Lucas: “Pain, pain, go away~”

Lono: “S-sorry…”

Lucas:

Scary when angry

If someone gets hurt because they're being reckless, they'll receive more painful treatment than usual

Lono:

He's bad (is scared) with Lucas

He's aware whenever he's being reckless, so he'll really regret it later

Lono is Lucas's regular patient

Flure & Lono

Lono: “I told you, you definitely can eat it with this seasoning!”

Flure: “Bell peppers… no way…”

Lono:

He can't shut up when it comes to food

He often has Flure helping him in the kitchen

Flure:

Hates vegetables

Lono is close in age with him and easy to talk to, so he can openly show his dissatisfaction

Normally he's quite rude to Lono

Lono's cooking is delicious, so he's grateful to him

Lato & Flure

Lato: “See, isn't it fun?”

Flure: “Put me down now!”

Lato:

No interest whatsoever towards other people and all living beings…

Flure and Miyaji (+the lord) are the only ones he has interest in

Extremely high physical prowess and he can't control it

Playfully bothering Flure, thinking it would make him happy, but always ends up making him angry

Flure:

He's annoyed that Lato treats him like a little brother (But he doesn't hate it)

He's proud of himself for taking care of the bothersome dangerous person that is Lato

He's usually scolding him despite Lato is older than him

Lato doesn't listen to other people, but if Flure's the one saying it, he complies

Bastien & Lono

Two guys who usually disagrees/fights a lot

Bastien: “I want…”

Lono:

Harbors one-sided rivalry with Bastien who is skilled in swordsmanship

Surprisingly, Lono is the more reliable one

Bastien:

Drawn to things he likes, he often gets lost

He often doesn't pay attention to what Lono says, but when Berrien says something, both of them follow

Berrien & Bastien

Berrien: “Uwaaa…”

Bastien:

Fearless

Bastien isn't particularly close with Berrien, but he does listen to what he says

Due to his affection for living things, he avoids senseless killing

Berrien:

Berrien is terrified of bugs

Rather than hiding this weakness, he openly seeks help from other butlers

Considering that everyone helps him out, he thinks that 'They're all good kids.”

Lamli & Ammon

Lamli: “Rose-kun, hear me out ♪”

Ammon: “Yes, yes, I've had enough hearing about it~ Also, won't you stop with the Rose-kun?”

Ammon:

He's thinking on what to do to handle this situation

Lamli:

He loves Lucas and the lord

Ammon is one of the few people who listens to him gushing

He has a habit of quickly assigning nicknames to others

Ammon & Boschi

Boschi:

He lets his guard down when with someone he can be open to

He nonchalantly sleeps a lot

He has the smoothest hair out of all the butlers

Ammon:

He takes care of Boschi's daily life, who is wounded

But, sometimes he messes around because he can (and then gets scolded badly)

It's Ammon's duty to wake Boschi up (he makes herbal tea to wake him up)

Boschi & Haures

Usually they don't get along well

They recognize each other's strength, so they lean on each other's backs in battle

Boschi: “That was such a crappy move”

Haures: “Shut up. Focus on eliminating the enemies”

Boschi:

He doesn't want to acknowledge Haures's strength, so he fights while cursing

Strong sense of rivalry with Haures

Haures:

When dealing with Boschi, he's a little more foul-mouthed than usual

Palace of Rose - SSR Boschi Card story

Chapter 1 - Awkward Reliance

※ A notice before reading the Butler Story This story contains spoilers for the "Palace of Rose" event story. It is recommended to read up to Chapter 5 of the event story before proceeding. If you wish to avoid spoilers, please return by pressing the button in the upper left corner

Context: the request/mission this time is to investigate the rundown and probably haunted Palace of Rose.

…………

Several days after staying at the Palace of Rose... We encountered paranormal activity. Since then, there was always at least 1 butler by my side.

[Palace of Rose - Main Hall]

Clang, clang *sounds of hammer*

Boschi: “Alright. This should be enough for reinforcing the pillars. Next up, replacing the wall panels. My lord. it’ll make loud noises, so it's better to stay a bit further away. But... stay within my sight, okay? It’s my duty to guard you this time, after all."

> "Okay, got it"

Boschi: “Heh... It's nice to have a lord who listens. Now then... I’ll cut the floor from here to here... As for the new planks, I guess this will do. And for the measurements..."

Boschi proceeds with the repairs around the mansion with practiced skill, just like a seasoned craftsman. 

> "You're used to this, huh?"

Boschi: "Hm? Yeah, well, sort of.  I've been in charge of maintaining the mansion's facilities for a long time, but even before that... I've been doing this kind of work since I was a kid."

> "Since you were a kid?"

Boschi: "Yeah. I used to live in a village in the western land with my grandmother... The house we lived in back then was not only old, but also cramped..."

[Western Land, Small Village]

……….

Clang, clang

Boschi: "Alright. One more plank to nail down and it's done, I guess? Hmmm~... But it looks kinda uneven in shape. It really is tough to do with just trial and error, huh? But... this might make things a bit easier for Grandma..."

Boschi's Grandmother: "I'm home, Boschi."

Boschi: "Oh, Grandma, you're back! Wait, it's already evening? When did…? And It's not finished yet... Sigh~~... I wanted to surprise you with the finished goods, though..."

Boschi's Grandmother: "Well, well. What's the matter, Boschi? Did you make something?"

Boschi: "Yup! Look, Grandma... Ta-da! I'm making a step stool out of wooden planks!"

Boschi's Grandmother: "Ooh~, that's amazing... Did you make it yourself, Boschi?"

Boschi: "Yup! You know how you mentioned the other day that 'the steps in this house are kinda scary’?  Especially that step by the door, it was too tall, and you nearly fell down...  But it's all good now! With this new step, those scary tall steps from before... can be taken one step at a time, nice and easy!"

Boschi's Grandmother: "Is that so... You did this for grandma… Boschi, you're such a good child. Sniff…”

Boschi: "O-oh geez, Grandma… don't cry. And, it troubles me to see you so happy over something like this. 

I... once I get better at carpentry work, I'll renovate this house even more. I'll build you a much more comfortable, super huge house than this one! 

Hey, Grandma, what kind of house would you like to live in? I guess one with a huge bath… Oh, and I also want to add a ‘sauna’! I've never been in one before, but... I bet it feels amazing, right?”

Boschi's Grandmother: "Fufu… Right. A long time ago, grandma went to a sauna once… it felt great for sure."

Boschi: "I see. Then we absolutely need to include ‘sauna’!”

Boschi's Grandmother: "But you know, Boschi, I don't really need a big house. Even if it's small... As long as I have you by my side, that's all I need.  So, if you're thinking of expanding the house... Keep it until when you need it… or when you find someone special."

Boschi: "What are you talking about, Grandma? My special person... That's you, Grandma.  Don't be shy! I'll build a house for you real soon!”

Boschi's Grandmother: "Boschi..."

Boschi: "Hehe. But for now, I need to finish this step stool. Wait for me, Grandma! I just have to attach this plank!"

Boschi's Grandmother: “Alright. But, be careful, okay?"

Boschi: "Hehe, I'll be fine! I'm getting used to it. Look, even this nailing, I'll finish it in no time..."

Clang, clang

Thwack

Boschi: "Ouch…!"

Boschi's Grandmother: "Bo-boschi…!”

Chapter 2 - Awkward Reliance

Boschi's Grandmother: "Boschi... Are you okay?"

Boschi: "Y-Yeah…! I'm fine...  Hehe… I fumbled my grip..."

Boschi's Grandmother: "Poor thing... I'm sorry, Boschi. I didn't mean to make you go through such a painful experience for me..."

Boschi: "W-What are you talking about, Grandma! It's my own mistake. And... It doesn't really hurt."

Boschi's Grandmother: "What are you saying? Look how swollen and blue it is... Wait a moment. I'll bring some ointment now."

Boschi: "I-It's really okay! Ointment is valuable, right?  Besides, look! Thanks to you for massaging it earlier... The pain is gone!"

Boschi's Grandmother: "Boschi... You're truly a strong and kind child. But sometimes, it's okay to rely on others, you know?  Grandma cares about you, Boschi... While we're living together like this... I want you to rely on me more."

Boschi: "Grandma..."

…………

*Close-up* Boschi: (In the end, it was tough to break free from poverty...) (The promise to "build a big house" remained just a dream...) (Even though I wanted to show Grandma affection...) (Still, Grandma never uttered a word of complaint until the end...)(Hmm... maybe my resilience comes from Grandma.)

“Oops, Sorry, my lord. I just zoned out there for a moment. My apologies. Once I nail down this plank, let me brew some tea.”

> “Thank you... Boschi”

Boschi: “I'll finish this up quickly, so just wait a moment.”

> “Yeah, got it”

Clang, clang

Boschi: "............ ‘So, if you're thinking of expanding the house... Keep it until when you need it…’  ‘or when you find someone special’ ……Phew. What am I remembering...?

Thwack

Boschi: “Ouch…!”

> Boschi...!?

Boschi: “Ah, yeah... it's nothing. Just slipped my hand a bit. It's nothing serious.”

Boschi has a calm expression on his face, but… he might just be suppressing the pain to not worry me. Anyway, I decided to at least check the wound.

> “Let me see your hand”

Boschi: “H-Hey... my lord.”

Slowly removing his left glove, I cautiously touched Boschi's fingers. There seems to be nothing wrong at a glance... But If I were to accidentally hit my hand, it would be the thumb or index finger.

> “Does it hurt here?”

Boschi: “I told you, I'm fine. It's not a big… ………… No... Maybe it does hurt… a little?”

> “In that case, I'll go get some ointment or bandages…”

Boschi: “It's okay, my lord. You don't need to go that far. Just... if you could massage it for a while.”

> “Massage...?”

Boschi: “Yeah. That's the best cure for me. With that, even this kind of pain will quickly go away. It might make me rely on you, my lord... But... it's okay for me to indulge in this from time to time, right?”

> “O-of course, it's fine”

Boschi: “I see. Thanks, my lord. Then... I'll leave it to you, my lord.”

As Boschi requested… I gently massage his hand. I'm not sure if this will really make the pain go away, but seeing Boschi smile satisfactorily… I couldn't bring myself to stop halfway.

Boschi: “............ I see... This kind of thing is nice once in a while.”

> “Feeling better?”

Boschi: “No, not yet. Keep going a bit longer.”

> “O-Okay”

Boschi: “Heh... I thought repairing this rundown mansion were nothing but a hassle… But... It's giving me interesting ideas.”

> Like what?

Boschi: “Yeah. Like... For example, if someday I were to build my own house... It might be nice to build it with my own hands.”

> “Building your house?”

Boschi: “That’s right. Both the size and layout would be completely up to me. Unlike the old me... I can build any kind of house now. ………Hey, my lord. What kind of layout would you want?”

> “Huh?”

Boschi: “No. On second thought, never mind.  Let's just keep this as a daydream, until the time comes… when it's a reality.”

> “U-um…”

The phrases "House made by Boschi" and "the layout I want" swirl around in my head... In order to suppress my agitation... All I could do was keep massaging Boschi's hand.

[City of Blessings Kalliste]

~ Later ~

Berrien: "Everyone, thank you very much for your hard work in preparing for the party and providing security. As of today, the mission is almost complete."

Teddy: "Great work!"

> "Great work, everyone"

Hanamaru: "Hehe… Thanks, my lord. Well, now that the mission is over... I can finally drink as much as I want."

Yuhan: "Hmm... Setting aside Hanamaru's comment, you said that the mission is 'almost complete'... Does that mean there's still some work left?"

Berrien: "Yes, that's correct. The couple we were guarding... They will be staying in this town for a while longer... During that time, we will be responsible for the town's security."

Lamli: “Whaaat~! Just when I thought it was over~! I don't want to guard unimportant people anymore~ I can guard my lord as much as needed though~."

Nac: "Lamli, you're being too blunt."

Lucas: "Fufu... But, Lamli... Staying in this town might not be all bad, you know? Right, Berrien?"

Berrien: "Yes, that's right. Our work still continues, but... we will handle the town's security as before... taking breaks in shifts.  If it's okay with you, my lord... Would you like to enjoy the city of Kalliste a little longer with us?"

> "I don't mind" > “I’m rather excited for it”

Lato: "Kufufu... So, it means an opportunity for my lord and I to go out together."

Miyaji: "Lato, if you're going out with the lord, be sure to let me know."

Lato: "Yes, I understand."

Flure: “Do you really…? Please don't trouble both Prof. Miyaji and the lord, all right?"

Haures: "Hmm... If I want to take my lord out, where would be good?"

Fennesz: "I'm happy to be with my lord, but... I'm not sure where to go."

Boschi: "Don't worry, you guys. While you two are hesitating, I'll take my lord out."

Ammon: "Oops... We can't let you get away with that, Mr. Boschi."

Lucas: "By the way… seems like there's a famous power spot in Kalliste. I heard about it while strolling around the city."

> "A power spot...?"

Lucas: "Yes. It's called the 'Temple of the Goddess' located on the outskirts of the city."

Nac: "The Temple of the Goddess...! What a romantic name for a place."

Lucas: "Fufu... It is said that if a newlywed couple presents flower bouquets to each other there, the recipient will be blessed with good fortune."

Lamli: "Wow~! That's amazing! I want to go there with you, my lord!"

Lato: “Ooh~. If it brings good luck to my lord, I'm interested too..."

> "U-um..."

Hanamaru: "Anyway, why don't we all go?”

> "A-all?"

Hanamaru: "If 16 of us go, my lord's luck will be multiplied by 16, right?"

Yuhan: "Is it really that simple?"

Hanamaru: "Yuhan... Sometimes, it's okay to go with your gut feeling. It's all about the feeling, you know, feeling."

Yuhan: “Sigh… So that's how it is."

Teddy: "Wait a minute, we aren't in a relationship with the lord as newlyweds though…"

Hanamaru: "Well... um... Then let's just pretend we're newlyweds!"

> "P-pretend to be newlyweds?"

Teddy: "I see... It feels quite forced, though..."

Hanamaru: "Teddy... Sometimes, the feeling is more important."

Yuhan: " ‘Feeling’ ...What an all-purpose word."

> "Indeed..."

Lamli: "Umm...! I agree with Maru-chi's opinion! We don't need to worry about the details! What's more important is! If it might make my lord happy, I want to do anything!"

> "Lamli..."

Lato: "I agree with Lamli too. I want to go to the Temple of the Goddess and give a flower bouquet to my lord."

Berrien: "Well then, let's leave it up to my lord now. If it's not too much trouble... Would you like to go to the temple with us?"

> "Of course, that's fine"

Lamli: "Hooray! It's decided then!"

Lono: "As a newlywed couple, going to the Temple of the Goddess…, huh…? I'm starting to get nervous."

Bastien: "But it'll definitely be a good memory.  Hmm... Memories...  I feel like we should have something tangible as a memory..."

Haures: "Certainly. I agree with Bastien. Can't we… leave something tangible behind to remember the time the lord and we spent in Kalliste."

Flure: "Something tangible... as a memory... Ah...! Right…!"

Miyaji: "Flure, do you have an idea?"

Flure: "Yes. Before coming here, I was researching about Kalliste... It seems that in this city, there's a tradition of giving 'Necklaces with the color of your eyes' to your loved ones."

Lono: "Necklaces with the color of my eyes...?"

Flure: "How about we all give the lord one of those necklaces?"

Bastien: "I see..."

Nac: "Fantastic! What a wonderful idea, Flure!"

Haures: "Alright, then the memory item has been decided by Flure's suggestion."

Boschi: "Sigh… but still, I've been hearing about power spots, traditions, and all that for a while now...  This city… sure has a lot of those."

Ammon: "Well, it's a city known for marriages. Surely, everyone here likes romantic things."

Boschi: "This is a bit too much."

Ammon: "But isn't it interesting?"

Boschi: "Sigh... Is that so..."

Fennesz: "By the way, I'm curious... Is there a reason why the necklace has to be the color of one's own eyes?"

Ammon: "Hehe… That's obvious, Mr. Fennesz. Kalliste is the holy land of marriage, you know? Giving a 'Necklace with the color of your eyes' to your partner... It's like saying 'I only have eyes for you'."

Boschi: "Heh... Quite bold, isn't it?"

Lato: "Flure's suggestion sounds wonderful to me. As expected of my little brother."

Nac: "Hmm... In my case, which eye color should I choose?"

Lucas: "Both colors are beautiful... Why not choose both?"

Lamli: "Ehehe...! I'm looking forward to going out with you, my lord, and giving you the necklace!"

Bastien: "Hmm, it seems like... We're deciding things without hearing the lord's opinion..."

Lono: "Are you okay with it, my lord? Going out as a newlywed couple, going to the Temple of the Goddess, giving a necklace... It's... everyone's so enthusiastic..."

> “It sounds like fun!” > "I don't mind”

Berrien: "Fufu... my lord is so kind. It's because my lord is so kind… that everyone wants to make you happy. Although, I would like to be the one who brings the greatest happiness to you, my lord."

> "Huh?"

Berrien: "Fufu. It's nothing. It's just… I felt it once again, how my lord is loved by everyone. ...My lord. Our precious lord... We want to be the one to make you the happiest, not anyone else."

> "Thank you, everyone"

…………

………

Now then... dear lord. The butlers have started choosing the necklace to give to you. When the preparations are complete, they will let you know.

Well, dear lord… Please enjoy the city of Kalliste for a while more.

Honeymoon Knight / Chapter 21 - The Secret Vow

Prev | All | Next

[Kalliste, Church]

Opening the door and stepping inside... There, a majestic and beautiful space unfolded before me.

> "It's so beautiful..."

Muu: "It really is amazing. U-um, by the way... Is it okay for us to just come in like this?"

Berrien: "Yes, it's fine. We have received permission in advance."

> "Did you bring me here for something?"

Berrien: "Yes, that's right. This church is the largest in Kalliste... It's such a beautiful place. Since you've come all the way to Kalliste... I wanted you, my lord, to see... even a little bit of the beauty of this world."

> "Thank you"

Bastien: "My lord, feel free to look around as much as you like."

Lono: "The decorations and the adorned flowers are so beautiful. Please, enjoy yourself!"

> "Okay…!"

And so, as recommended by the butlers... I decided to take a look around the church. 

~ A little while later ~

I carefully examined the church.  Inside, it was dimly lit with only the light of small candles, and... the starry sky visible from the windows seemed to complement the beauty of the church's decorations. After thoroughly exploring, I spoke to Berrien and the others...

> “It was so beautiful” > "Thank you for bringing me here"

Berrien: "Fufu, we're glad you enjoyed it."

Lono: "Then, my lord, won't you come with me for a moment?"

> "Huh?"

With that, Lono guided me to the front of the church altar.

> "What are we going to do?"

Lono: "Hehe. We have something to tell you."

Bastien: "We... want to make a vow to you here today, my lord."

> "A vow?"

Berrien: "In this place... Many people have reaffirmed their bonds with their loved ones... and made promises for the future. In such a wonderful place... we also want to promise a future with you, my lord. Would you please listen to our feelings?"

> "...yes"

Berrien: "Thank you very much. Then, my lord... First, from me...  I swear to continue to serve you as your butler... I will always be by your side. I won't let you feel lonely. No matter what happens... I'll be there to support you.  I promise to continue being a place where your heart can rest.  So... please continue to rely on me. When things get tough... I want you to confide in me. I'll always be on your side."

> "Berrien..."

Lono: "My lord... I swear to protect your smile in the future. Devil's Palace will always be... a warm place where you'll want to come back every day. I'll do my best to keep it that way.  Since I'm a chef... I'll start by... promising to always serve delicious food! I'll make lots of your favorite dishes from now on! I... like your smiling face. So, I'll definitely protect it. I promise."

> "Lono..."

Bastien: "Lastly, it's my turn.  My lord... I swear to protect you in the future. Because I only have a sword. No matter what enemies come our way... I won't let them lay a finger on you. I will protect your life.  Even if, by any chance... I'm not by your side... and you're in a dangerous situation, don't worry. I'll definitely come to help.  I want you to stay by my side... always. That's how much... I care about you, my lord."

> "Bastien..."

Bastien: "Did I manage… to convey my feelings properly?"

> "Yes"

Bastien: "I see. That's good then."

> "Thank you, everyone"

Berrien: "We should be the ones thanking you. Thank you for becoming our lord... and for being by our side until today. We really appreciate it."

Lono: "Thank you."

Bastien: "Thanks."

With that, the three of them gently smiled at me... The promises I received from the three of them... They were all so wonderful... and warmed my heart. And then... I suddenly had a thought.

> "Can I make a vow too?"

Berrien: "A vow from you... my lord?"

> "I promise to fight alongside everyone until the end"

Lono: "My lord..."

> "And I want to make everyone happy"

Bastien: "Heh... You're a reliable lord."

Berrien: "Yes. We really think so."

Lono: "We've heard your vow, my lord. Let's make it through everything and be happy together someday."

> "Yes"

Then... Muu, who had been quietly watching, stood up and gave an applause with his small hands.

Muu: "Everyone, you're all amazing! I can't help but feeling so moved."

Bastien: "Muu. Please keep what you saw today a secret from the other butlers."

Muu: "Huh? Why?"

Bastien: "We want to keep it as memories only for us and the lord."

Berrien: "Fufu... That's right. Let's cherish the secret vow we made in Kalliste.”

Lono: “You’re okay with it, right, my lord?"

> "Of course"

And so, we promised each other to keep it a secret... and left the church with pleasant feelings. It was a wonderful day making memories with the butlers on the first floor on my first visit to Kalliste.

Hello! Thank you for translating aknk! based on seeing Lato's SSR card being tled, does that mean you will be translating other SSR cards in the future?

Hello Anon! Actually someone requested for a card story tl, so I thought sure and picked my fav.

But I don't have his other cards or any basement butlers

I think I'll still do these three but I like chaos so please choose which one first (this blog has so many polls are definitely not because of Yttd, yes ofc not)

[pardi-real]

Hello! does Akuneko have an English translation? or has there been any sort of announcement for one? asking because if one Studio Wasabi game gets a translation then that means there's possibily for Wolf Game to get a translation too and I've been hoping for that game to get an official translation for 4 years at this point

Hi Anon!

Sadly Akuneko doesn't have an official English translation nor an announcement for one yet. Akuneko has official CN & KR translated versions though, just like their other games.

I hope they'll consider making English versions for their games 🙏🙏🙏!! Imagine dgrp but freemium Wolf Game has so much potential ngl

⚠️ Unrelated ramblings ⬇️

This ask was like 6? Hours ago... Sorry I'm having a holiday and just become a total bed potato. Today I went outside and had my first Subway in my life though

But this whole week I was manually grinding for NP 5 Taisui Xingjun (done but now I'm grinding for coins)

And bragging rights

Now Imma get that 5* HiMERU

I'm playing too much games

~ A while later ~

Lono: "My lord, how was today's meal?"

> "It was excellent" > “It was very delicious”

Lono: "Is that so! Hehe, I'm glad you enjoyed it!"

Berrien: "Um, my lord. It's sudden, but... Would it be possible to have a little of your time now?"

> "Right now?"

Berrien: "Yes. Actually, there's a place we'd like to take you to."

> "Of course, it's fine"

Berrien: "I see. That's good."

Muu: "Where are we going?"

Bastien: "That's a secret."

Lono: "You'll surely like it, my lord!"

> "I'm looking forward to it"

Berrien: "Well then, shall we go?"

And so, I left the inn with the butlers.

[City of Blessings Kalliste]

The night in the city of Kalliste was very quiet... The beautiful starry sky shining above added to the sacred atmosphere.

Lono: “Still... No matter how many times I come here, I can't help but think... The night in Kalliste is really beautiful."

> "Indeed"

Bastien: "It's quiet and calming…"

Berrien: "Yes… Somehow... It feels like there's only us in this world… it's easy to imagine it like that."

Lono: "Hehe, Mr. Berrien. Sometimes you say romantic things, don't you?"

Berrien: “Oh, Lono. Don't tease me like that."

Lono: "I'm not teasing you…! I just think it's cool that you can casually say such lines, Mr. Berrien…"

Berrien: "You're definitely teasing me, aren't you?"

Lono: "I'm really not teasing you!"

Bastien: "I think that side of Mr. Berrien is nice. I can't really say such romantic things myself, so... I want to learn."

Berrien: "Not you too, Bastien..."

Bastien: "Neither I nor Lono are teasing you. I seriously think it's cool."

Lono: "See! I told you I'm not teasing.  Mr. Berrien. I really didn't mean to."

Berrien: "Fufufu. I understand. Thank you for the compliments, both of you."

Muu: "Fufu. The butlers on the first floor are really close, aren't they?"

> “Yes, they are"

Muu: "It feels like they're a family in a way."

> "I can somewhat understand"

Bastien: “We are... family?"

Lono: "Well, I can't say I don't understand that. But especially when it comes to Mr. Berrien, I feel like he's 'part of my family,' unlike the other butlers…”

Bastien: "Hmm... Well, that's certainly true."

Berrien: "Fufu... I'm glad you said that."

Lono: "And, well, I... Even though it was a long time ago... There was a time when I thought of Mr. Berrien as like... 'a father'."

Berrien: "Oh, was that so? Well, if you're referring to when you first arrived at the mansion, it's understandable if you felt that."

> "When he first arrived?"

Lono: "Wait- Let's drop that topic. It's embarrassing to talk about it now…”

Muu: "Aww, what's it? I'm curious!"

Lono: "Just drop it…! We'll talk about it some other time."

Bastien: “Even though he brought it up himself… what a selfish guy."

Lono: "Shut up, Bastien."

Bastien: "Hmph…..."

Muu: "I'm starting to get used to these kinds of conversations between Mr. Lono and Mr. Bastien. But, all in all... They cooperate with each other, which is nice."

Lono: "Why are you suddenly bringing that up, Muu? And, I've never cooperated with this guy..."

Muu: “Yes, you have! I remember! For example, when we infiltrated the White Rabbit Circus and a pretty powerful angel appeared... Mr. Lono and Mr. Bastien stood back to back, like this… readying their swords…"

Bastien: "I don't remember doing anything like that..."

Muu: "You did! Right, my lord?"

> "Yes, they did"

Muu: "See! Even the lord remembers!"

Berrien: "And also during the mission in Velis... The coordination of both of them was splendid."

Lono: "M-mr. Berrien, you don't have to join in."

Berrien: "Why not? It's good to reminisce like this from time to time. Oh, and we the first-floor butlers fought the angel that appeared in Velis... At that time, Bastien signaled to Lono and... Lono attacked from behind Bastien, who intentionally missed-…"

Lono: "S-Stop…!"

Berrien: "Oh? What's wrong, Lono?"

Lono: “Th-that's enough. I just... don't want this conversation to continue any further... I'm really at a loss for how to react."

> "You looked really cool back then"

Lono: "M-my lord, not you too..."

Berrien: "Fufu… whenever Lono gets flustered, it quickly shows in his face."

Bastien: "Hmm... Speaking of cool moments... During the battle in Velis... Mr. Berrien's skill with the polearm was also impressive. I still remember that sharp sweep very clearly. Honestly, it was inspiring.”

Berrien: “M-my, my…  You can unexpectedly get hit if you're not being careful, after all. But, thank you very much. You're also very cool in battle, Bastien.”

Bastien: “Hm… I see.”

Muu: “Um… what exactly are we being shown here?”

Lono: "You're the one who started it, Muu!”

Muu: "I-I'm kidding! Just kidding!"

Berrien: "Fufufu. Well... As we were having a pleasant conversation, it seems we're getting closer to our destination. Now, my lord... That over there would be the place we wanted to take you to."

Looking at the direction indicated by Berrien, there was a huge and beautiful building.

> "Is that... a church?”

Judgment by Fallen Angel - SSR Lato Card Story

Chapter 1 - Lato's Choice

※ A notice before reading the Butler Story This story contains spoilers for the "Judgment by Fallen Angel" event story. It is recommended to read up to Chapter 12 of the event story before proceeding. If you wish to avoid spoilers, please return by pressing the button in the upper left corner.

Several days after the opening night at the theater... The butlers were once again diligently rehearsing for the next performance.

Click

> "How are you doing, guys?"

Fennesz: "Ah, my lord. Did you come to check on us? Fufu… thank you for making the effort."

In the dance practice room, Lato and Miyaji were present, but Berrien was nowhere to be seen.

> "Is Berrien still working?"

Fennesz: "N-No… actually..."

Miyaji: "Berrien strained his throat. Just to be safe, he's resting in his room."

> "What!? Is he okay?"

Miyaji: “Yeah, don't worry. It's probably because he overdid his lines-reading practice. It's not that serious, so he should recover soon if he rests."

> "That's a relief..."

Lato: "Come to think of it, Mr.Berrien… has been practicing every day without fail."

Fennesz: "Yeah... And on stage, he always needs to speak louder than usual."

Miyaji: "True. He's probably just worn out."

> "Will he make it in time for the next performance?"

Miyaji: "No... As a precaution, I'll have him rest for the next performance only. The show must go on. It's better for him to take a break and focus on recovering."

> "But who will play Berrien's role...?"

Miyaji: "Yeah, we were just discussing that. Normally, we'd find a replacement, but... It's too late to have someone memorize the lines now. So, I have a suggestion... How about combining the roles of the two fallen angels who defend humanity into one?"

Fennesz: "But won't that... increase Mr. Miyaji's lines significantly? As for me, I remember everyone's lines in my head, it's better for me to take the role instead…”

Miyaji: "No, Fennesz. I'd like you to rewrite the script for three characters. Since you wrote the script, you're the most suitable for that job."

Fennesz: “I-I see... Understood. Then I'll... do my best to make it easier for Mr. Miyaji."

Miyaji: "Yeah, thank you."

Lato: "Um, Prof. Miyaji."

Miyaji: "Hm? What is it, Lato?"

Lato: "If it's about Mr. Berrien's replacement... I'd like to give it a try too."

> "Huh...?"

Fennesz: "Lato... as Mr. Berrien's replacement?"

Lato: "Because... I feel like I'd get tired of playing the same role all the time. Since it's a rare opportunity, I'd like to try a different role."

Miyaji: "Hmm... I see…"

Fennesz: "B-but Lato... Can you memorize all of Mr. Berrien's lines starting now?"

Lato: "No, I don't memorize lines to begin with. I just say whatever comes to mind at the moment."

Fennesz: “N-now that you mention it..."

> "But it's amazing how he's still doing so well..."

Fennesz: "True, the opening night went smoothly despite that... Um... What do you think, Mr. Miyaji?"

Miyaji: "Well... If Lato wants to do it, I'd like to respect his wishes. I've performed various plays with him before... and I believe in his ability. Lato, you must be suggesting it because you think you can do it, right?"

Lato: "Yes. Since you're coming to watch, my lord... I want to show you a splendid performance."

Fennesz: "I see... I understand. So, please leave the script adjustments to me. I'll rewrite it so it doesn't feel forced with three characters."

Miyaji: “Yeah. If anything happens, I'll do my best to do a follow-up.”

Fennesz: "Thank you. Then, can I leave the role to you, Lato?"

Lato: "Kufufu... Thank you both for entrusting me."

Miyaji: "Of course. I believe in your ability to pull it off, Lato. Besides, It should be a good experience for you… playing a role with different values from your own."

> “Break a leg, Lato"

Lato: "Yes. My lord, please look forward to the next performance."

And so, Lato took on Berrien's role...

Until just before the next performance, the three of them practiced diligently.

~~~

On the day of the performance...

I was in the audience, anxiously waiting for the start time. There weren't any problems during rehearsals, but...

Would it really go well during the actual performance?

> (I hope it all goes well...)

As I prayed for that… The curtains finally rose on the stage.

…………

Fennesz: "………… Sigh..."

Lato: "Oh? What's wrong, Mr. Fennesz? Looking down at the ground with such a sigh…" 

Fennesz: "Lato... Look at that. Humans on the ground are at war again."

Lato: "Yes… It seems so."

Fennesz: "Even at this moment, angels are trying to destroy humans... Why can't they cooperate with each other?"

Lato: "Kufufu, the reason is simple... They're just like ants. You can tell from observing from above."

Fennesz: "Huh... A-ants?"

Lato: "Yes. Ants form colonies and often go to war with other colonies. Humans, ants... Perhaps it's the fate of living beings to fight among their own kind."

Fennesz: "Uh... I see... But even so... It's starting to feel more and more pointless. We've been fighting for so long to protect humans from angels..."

> (That was an improvisation, wasn't it…) > (I wonder if everything will be okay...)

From then on, Lato interjected ad-lib lines here and there… But thanks to Fennesz and Miyaji's follow-ups... there were no interruptions in the performance.

The audience didn't seem to notice anything amiss… There were no jeerings like during the opening night, and the play continued without a hitch… And finally, we reached the climax.

Chapter 2 - Lato's Choice

Miyaji: “I never desired to rule over humanity to begin with. They and I are on the same page when it comes to ‘the survival of humanity’."

Fennesz: "Yes... I agree. I have been given this power... I want to use it not only for myself... But also for those who are more important to me."

Lato: "Yes... It seems like we've reached a conclusion. We will continue to..."

As the play neared its end... I felt somewhat relieved, and while I was watching Lato's performance... Suddenly, our eyes met on stage.

Lato: "............"

> (Lato?)

Audience: "Hm...? What's wrong? Did he forget his lines...?"

Miyaji: "We will continue to protect humanity from now on... Right, Lato?"

Lato: "I'm sorry, Prof. Miyaji. But I really can't lie."

Miyaji: "Lie...?"

Fennesz: "Lie? What do you mean? You're not planning to say something like 'humanity would be better off perishing’ again, are you?"

Lato: "No, that's not my intention. I will protect humanity... But I just don't agree with 'equality'."

Fennesz: "Equality...?"

Lato: "Yes. Because even I want to freely choose whom to protect. For me, the value of life is not equal. Risking my life for people who don't matter to me is foolish. This life of mine... exists to protect those who are important to me."

Lato declared clearly on stage, while looking into my eyes: "I will abandon those who are worthless to me” ...

Even in a performance, those are such heavy words, for a devil butler who's stronger than humans. I could feel the unprecedented tension among the surrounding audience members.

> (W-what do we do...?)

After a few heavy seconds of silence, Miyaji spoke up.

Miyaji: "Yeah... That's fine. Sometimes, we may be forced to make such choices. Just because we have slightly more power than others... It's presumptuous to think we can save all of humanity. Since we can't save everyone... What we can do is... Make an effort to save as many lives as possible. And... Choose the lives that should be saved... It's about saving many 'precious lives'."

The tension among the nearby nobles seemed to ease slightly by Miyaji's words. It seemed like they interpreted the phrase "precious lives" as referring to themselves.

Miyaji: "Well then... Lato's conclusion is no different from ours. We will continue to protect humanity..."

Fennesz: "Well, even if they… hate us."

Lato: "Kufufu... Isn't that fine? Even if we're hated... there are already people who understand us. As long as there are people like that among humanity... We will never betray them...."

Fennesz: "........You're right. I guess that's enough for me, for now."

Miyaji: "Yeah. And one day, others will understand too. We believe that the sacrifices we've made for humanity will someday be worth it..."

Lato: "Yes. Let's pledge to continue protecting humanity from now on."

The curtains closed along with Lato's words on the stage. Applause and praise erupted from the relieved audience. As the play ended... After waiting for everyone in the audience to leave, Lato approached me and spoke.

Lato: "How was it, my lord? Watching from the audience... Did you enjoy it?"

> "There were so many ad-libs, it was nerve-wracking"

Lato: "I see. It seems we managed to not make it boring. Kufufu... It was also refreshing to me to play a different role from last time. And... While portraying Mr. Berrien's character... I felt like I understood his feelings even more now."

> "Berrien's feelings?"

Lato: "Yes. Mr. Berrien was... suffering because of the secret he kept from us, right? When I learned about it... I couldn't understand why he was suffering so much. If you only have the power to save one person... Isn't it natural to choose someone important to you? Sacrificing others for that person is inevitable. There's no need to feel guilty…"

> "But now you understand his feelings?"

Lato: "About that...  …… I was able to think this scenario 'If I were in Mr. Berrien's position' once again. 'Being able to save only one person' might be crueler than 'being unable to save anyone'. 

Because you feel responsible for the deaths of many people in exchange for saving one life. 

Unlike before... I now have... others I care about, besides Alec. And when the time comes to choose only one from among them... I think I would suffer like Mr. Berrien did.

In order to save the life of one important person... It means choosing the life of the other loved ones to die…"

> "Lato..."

Lato: "What would you do, my lord? Between me, Flure, and Prof. Miyaji... If you could only save one... Who would you choose? And... Whom would you let die…"

> "That's..."

I didn't know how to answer Lato's question... I want to cherish the butlers... So even in a hypothetical scenario, I couldn't carelessly give an answer. But Berrien had been forced into such choices multiple times in reality. Thinking about it... I felt uneasy all over again.

Lato: "Kufufu... I'm sorry, my lord."

> "Huh...?"

Lato: "Even though it's hypothetical, I ended up forcing you to make a difficult choice. But just by looking at your face... I feel like I know who you would choose."

> "R-really?"

Lato: "Yes. I feel like I understand you more than anyone else does. Well, even if you chose someone else... I would surely choose you."

> "Why..."

*Close-up* Lato: "Kufufu. That's needless to say, because I've decided that 'I will protect you.' Including Flure and Prof. Miyaji... And all the other butlers. I treasure them, of course... But I think everyone... Probably will choose the same as me."

> "I see..."

Lato: "Your well-being... We, the devil butlers, will protect it at all costs."

Despite Lato's gentle smile... I could sense his unwavering determination in his words. To protect me, even at the cost of his life... Responding to his determination... I'd do anything to save Lato. Once again, that feeling grew stronger.

[Kalliste, Inn room]

~ That evening ~

I was relaxing in my room... When there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock...

Muu: "Huh...? Someone's visiting?"

Lono: "My lord, it's me! I've brought dinner!"

> “Thank you” > "Please, come in"

Click

Lono: "Good evening, my lord! Ishishi…! It's a lavish dinner tonight!"

Bastien: "Yeah, indeed. Today's dinner was wedding-inspired."

The table was adorned with luxurious dishes.

> "So many..."

Lono: "We got carried away with the conversation during the day... So we thought, why not prepare a course meal fit for a wedding reception! Please, enjoy!"

> "I can't possibly eat all of this..."

Lono: “T-true... Maybe we overdid it..."

> "Won't you eat with me?"

Lono: "Huh? With you, my lord?"

> "Pretend we are at a wedding feast…!"

Lono: "Well... If it pleases you, my lord, then we shall..."

Bastien: "Right... There's no reason to refuse."

Berrien: "Apologies for the inconvenience, but shall we accept your offer, then?"

> "Yes"

And so, we all decided to happily share a meal together.

~ A little while later ~

Bastien: "Hmm. Now all the dishes are served."

Muu: "There's meat, fruit salad, soup... And even fluffy pancakes... They all look delicious!"

> "It's very lavish"

Lono: "Yes! After all, these are 'wedding-inspired' dishes! Instead of a wedding cake, we prepared pancakes decorated with cream for dessert!"

Bastien: "The salad is accompanied by intricately cut fruits... We tried to make it elegant."

Berrien: "This soup is based on a celebratory dish from a certain region. Please, enjoy it while it's warm."

> "Thank you"

I first tasted the soup and the meat. Both had a refreshing aroma of herbs... Very palatable.

> "Delicious...!"

Lono: "Ishishi… that's great!"

Berrien: "Fufu... I'm glad you enjoyed the soup I made."

Lono: "My lord, the meat I grilled is delicious too... Please try the salad as well. It pains me to admit it, but... Bastien's salad is quite delicious!"

> "Is that so!"

Lono: "Sheesh~... Bastien, that guy, he used to only be able to use strong seasoning… and now he's able to make such delicate dressings… It must’ve been my way of teaching, for sure…!"

Bastien: “Don't be mistaken, Lono. This is the recipe I've found myself. I found it in a book to please the lord.”

Lono: “Ooh~ I see. To think that Bastien is this interested in cooking for the sake of the lord… Ishishi…”

Bastien: “What are you grinning at, Lono? That's pretty uncanny.”

Lono: "S-shut up! I'm not grinning! A-And besides! Who's the uncanny one here? Since I'm complimenting you so much, how about you smile more and show some happiness? You're always frowning."

Bastien: “Huh? I don't make such a face.”

Lono: “Look at the mirror for once! You always have that scowl in your eyes!”

Bastien: “What the? Lono..."

Berrien: "Oh my... Please, don't argue in front of our lord. When you were in the kitchen, you cooperated well with each other, though."

Lono: "Well... Since the cooperation leads to making delicious dishes for our lord."

Bastien: "Hmph... Reluctantly, I agree. Cooperating with Lono and Mr. Berrien results in... our lord enjoying delicious food."

Berrien: "Fufu… in other words, everyone wants to make our lord smile with their cooking... So let's stop fighting to ensure our lord can enjoy the meal happily."

Lono: "Ughhh... Fine."

Bastien: "Hmm… My apologies for the commotion, my lord."

> "It's okay, but more importantly..."

Lono: “More importantly?"

> "Thank you for the delicious food"

Lono: "M-my lord... Ishishi... Thank you so much! Cooking for you, my lord... always brings a smile to my face!"

Bastien: "My lord. There's still more food. If there's anything you'd like to eat, please let me know and I'll serve it for you."

Berrien: "Fufu... If you need a refill of your drink, please don't hesitate to ask me. We'll also prepare herbal tea for you after the meal to help with fatigue recovery."

Lono: "And don't forget about the dessert pancakes! Both the taste and the wedding-themed decorations turned out well… It's my masterpiece, after all!"

> "Thank you, everyone"

Muu: "My lord! I also want to help you!"

Berrien: "Then, Muu, would you assist me in brewing tea after the meal?"

Muu: "Yes! Leave it to me!"

And so, Muu and I, along with the first-floor butlers, enjoyed the meal together. The various dishes inspired by weddings were... luxurious yet warm and gentle in taste.

[On the Road, Inside the Carriage]

~ Later ~

Departing from Tisailles, I was riding in the carriage with the first-floor butler. Our destination was the 'City of Blessings Kalliste', the last stop of this trip.

Berrien: "My lord, we've been traveling by carriage for some time now, do you feel tired?”

> "I'm fine"

Berrien: "Fufu... That's good to hear."

> “How about you, Muu, are you tired?"

Muu: "I'm also perfectly fine! Actually, I'm very happy to be able to visit various cities with you, my lord... It's really exciting!"

> "Each city was enjoyable, wasn't it?"

Lono: "Ishishi... Other butlers were saying the same thing. 

That Flure guy... when we left Tisailles, he looked so dejected. Spending time with you must have been much more enjoyable for him. 

Oh right, speaking of Flure... He seems to have played a big role in Tisailles, doesn't he…!?"

Berrien: "Yes, he protected Lato from the angels..."

> “That was really awesome”

> "That was really cool"

Bastien: "Flure's accuracy with the bow is astounding. With this, he might be recognized as a full-fledged member by Mr. Haures."

Lono: "That guy Flure... If he gets recognized, he'd be ecstatic. Finally, he can go angel-hunting on his own."

Bastien: "But with a bow and arrows... Won't that make one-on-one combat tough?"

Lono: “W-well, that's true..."

Berrien: "Fufu. Being able to go 'angel-hunting alone' isn't everything. I think, as a devil butler, being able to protect our lord and comrades is more than enough to be considered a full-fledged member. Surely, Haures understands that too.

However, when it comes to Flure... His determination to hunt angels by himself is so strong that even though it's for his own good... I don't think he's clearly been told, ’You're already a full-fledged member’."

Muu: "I see..."

Berrien: "Well, that's just my speculation."

Bastien: "But Flure hasn't seemed so fixated on 'going angel-hunting alone' lately. I'm sure something is starting to change within Flure… It's probably thanks to you, my lord."

> “Me?”

> “R-really?"

Bastien: "Our encounter with you is definitely changing us. I'm one of them too."

> "Bastien..."

Bastien: "Well then... In the next city, it's finally the turn for the first-floor butlers to spend time with you... I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to arrive in the city."

Lono: "Yeah. It's been boring, just guarding nobles all the time."

Muu: "The destination is... ‘'City of Blessings Kalliste,' right? Going to a city you've never been to is so exciting!"

Berrien: "Fufu... My lord, and Muu too, It's your first time visiting Kalliste, isn't it? Kalliste is a beautiful city... Both of you will surely love it."

As we were talking...

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down and eventually stopped.

Berrien: "Oh my... It seems we've just arrived in the city... My lord, please use my hand when getting off the carriage."

> "Thank you, Berrien"

I took Berrien's hand and slowly got off the carriage.

[City of Blessings Kalliste]

Outside the carriage... There spread a vivid contrast of white and blue in the cityscape. It was a beautiful cityscape that would uplift the hearts of those who visited... A clean, refreshing, and beautiful cityscape.

Muu: "Wow~! It's a wonderful city with different feels from Velis and Rosetown!"

Lono: "It's been a while, but it's still beautiful. As expected, from the blessed city."

Bastien: "By the way... Why is Kalliste called the ‘City of Blessings'?"

Berrien: "That's because this city... is the 'Holy Land of Marriage.' Kalliste has a wonderful legend... It goes like this: 'If you create happy memories in this city, your happiness will be guaranteed.' 

Because of this, many people choose to have their weddings here, making it the 'City of Blessings.'"

> "I see..."

Bastien: "Hm... By weddings, do you mean like that?"

Following Bastien's gaze... There stood a bride and groom in front of a church. The bride and groom, surrounded by what seemed to be their friends and family, were moving somewhere.

Berrien: "Fufu... Both of them looked so happy, didn't they? They're probably heading to the banquet hall now."

Muu: “ ‘Bankuet hall’...? Is that different from the wedding?"

Lono: "Hmm... It's different, but it's hard to explain..."

Berrien: "Well, simply put... The ceremony at the church is for taking 'marriage vows'... The banquet is a 'party to showcase the marriage.' Both together are sometimes called a wedding... It depends on the tradition of the place."

Muu: "Wow~! So, the feast is at the banquet hall?"

> "Yeah, that's right"

Lono: "Geez... Muu is always about food, huh..."

Bastien: "Well, food is important, so it can't be helped. By the way, in some parts of the Eastern Territories... During weddings, the couple can't eat anything."

Muu: "Ehhh! Is that so!?"

Bastien: "Ah, I don't know how it is nowadays. But in the region where I was born, it used to be like that."

Lono: "Seriously…? Well, people have preferences, but if it were me, I couldn't stand it... I mean, if it were me, I'd want to make and serve the wedding dishes myself to my partner."

Muu: "Hehe, if it's dishes made by Mr. Lono… They must be delicious! Oh, right! In that case... I'd like to hear about the 'ideal wedding dishes' from everyone on the first floor!"

Berrien: "T-that's... quite sudden..."

Bastien: "By saying 'everyone on the first floor,' do you mean... Are you asking similar questions to other butlers?"

> "Yes, various things about weddings"

Bastien: "Hmm, I see... If my story interests you, my lord... I don't mind telling."

Muu: "What about you, Mr. Lono and Mr. Berrien?"

Lono: "Hmmm… ‘Ideal wedding dishes’... Okay, I'll talk. There are some dishes that I just want to make!

'Berrien: "Hmm, my own wedding…

……It's all fantasy, so I can be free with it.

Certainly. I don't mind sharing it."

Muu: "Thank you, Mr. Berrien!"

Lono: "Well then, my lord. I'll go first!"

> "Please, Lono"

Lono: "If I were to have a wedding... Of course, all the dishes would be made by me! For the special day between me and my partner, I definitely want the dishes to be made by me!”

> “Impressive, Lono”

Lono: “Thank you very much.

By the way, I want the menu to be… filled  with my partner's favorite foods! When you eat what you love... It brings a smile to your face, after all! 

Um... I might have said this last year too... But... With my cooking, I want to... Protect my loved one's smile. I want to share laughter with them, from morning, day, to night while eating together... Sharing a cheerful dining table... I dream of a family like that! So... My thoughts are something like this... Oops! I-I'm sorry! It got off track from 'ideal wedding dishes'."

> "It's very much like you, Lono”

Lono: "Hehe… Thank you for saying that."

Muu: "Next, let's hear from... Mr. Bastien!"

Bastien: "My 'ideal wedding dishes'... Hmm... That's right... I can't think of specific dishes, but... Anyway... I want lots of dishes lined up."

> "Anyway, lots..."

Bastien: "Yeah... That's right. The more, the better. I don't want my precious partner to suffer from hunger. Once married... I will never let my partner struggle with meals. 

That's why... I want a wedding with lots of dishes.”

> “I see”

Bastien: “Also... Well, I'm planning to practice cooking more if I'm going to get married. The human body is made of what you eat, so I want my partner to have healthy meals. I'm willing to support my partner in all aspects of life... I want to support them even in terms of health.

...Hmm. That's about it for my story."

> "Very much like you, Bastien, that's wonderful"

Bastien: "Fufu... Thank you, my lord."

Muu: "Okay, next is Mr. Berrien!"

> "Tell us, Berrien"

Berrien: "Fufu, alright. My 'ideal wedding dishes' are… Those made by Lono and Bastien."

Lono: "Huh! You want me to make them!?"

Bastien: "Not just you, Lono. Mr. Berrien said he'd ask both of us."

Lono: "Shut up, I know! But... Are you really okay with us?"

Berrien: "Yes, of course.

If I were to get married... My partner would surely... Trust my precious comrades. That's why... For the wedding dishes... I want to ask Lono and Bastien. And... The wedding cake too, I want both of you to make it. And... After the wedding is over without any incidents... I want to eat the uneaten cake with my partner while drinking tea."

> "It sounds like a pleasant way to spend time"

Berrien: "Fufu… Thank you. Of course, not just during the wedding... I want to spend tea time together every day. While drinking tea... Talk about both the difficult and happy times... Accepting each other's feelings... I want to protect them by healing... 

I might have shared this last year as well... But even to the end of our lives… I want to make sure to live longer than my partner... I don't want to cause my partner grief. I want to love my partner and make them feel happy, until the very end.”

> "Berrien..."

Berrien: "Fufu... Like Lono, without realizing it… It's not about the 'ideal wedding dishes' anymore, but... My thoughts are like this."

> "Kind and thoughtful, just like you, Berrien"

Bastien: “Yeah, as expected of Mr. Berrien."

Lono: "I could really feel his desire to be close to his partner! That was so cool, Mr. Berrien!”

Muu: “Yes! That was wonderful, Mr. Berrien!”

Berrien: “Oh, my… that's a bit embarrassing to be complimented this much. Fufu… Well then, shall we head to the inn soon? It's quite enjoyable to stand and chat, but... The lord might get sunburned if we stay like this."

Lono: "Whoops, you're right!"

Bastien: "Hmm, then... I'll carry your luggage to the inn, my lord."

Lono: "Before heading to the inn, I'll buy ingredients for dinner! See you later, my lord!"

> "Take care, Lono"

Berrien: "Now, my lord... Allow me to guide you to the inn.”

Wine Valentine - Ammon story pt.1 & pt.2

The day after The Valentine's party ended successfully.

While I was resting in my room I remembered the time I spent with Ammon...

A few days ago a party was held at Grosvenor's house...

I was visiting a party venue that Ammon and the others were preparing.

Ammon: So..! Will the wall decorations look like this?

You: Things are going well, aren't they?

Ammon: That's right. We have also decided on which food and wine will be served.

Ammon: The preparations are almost finished. I'll have some spare time.

You: Right.

Ammon: Ah, also. As we've come to Grosvenor's mansion...

Ammon: Aruji-sama. Should we take a walk in the garden?

You: Eh..?

Ammon: I took a glimpse at it as I was preparing for the party. It was a lovely garden.

Ammon: There aren't many chances to visit Grosvenor's garden. I'll make sure to escort aruji-sama properly♪

Ammon: So, aruji-sama... Will you spend some time with me?

You: That seems a bit intimate...

Ammon: Isn't that good..? There's no one here now.

Hanamaru: ... We are literally here?

Ammon: Oh? If it isn't Hanamaru-san.

Hanamaru: Don't "oh" me. We've been here from the very beginning.

Ammon: Hehe. My bad~

Ammon: There's only lord in my eyes...

Bastien: Hm... That's not good, Ammon-san.

Bastien: As aruji-sama's butler... You should always be aware of your surroundings.

Ammon: Are you serious, Bastien..

Yuhan: Fufu... I also don't think that it's good to keep things all to yourself, Ammon-san.

Lato: Me too... I also want to walk alone with aruji-sama.

Ammon: Hehe. Well, I guess I can't just monopolize aruji-sama~

Ammon: The Valentine's Day is almost there... I feel like spending some romantic time with aruji-sama.

You: "Romantic time" you say...

Ammon: Huh? After all, that's what the Valentine's day is about?

Hanamaru: Oh my... Don't just say that, Ammon. We're all holding back here.

Hanamaru: Isn't this right, everyone? We all want to be romantic with aruji-sama?

Yuhan: Now, what is it? I'm a well-mannered butler.

Hanamaru: Liar. For those who say that, it's better...

Yuhan: ...Better..? What is it?

Hanamaru: Nothing.

You: (I wonder what it was...)

Yuhan: Right. By the way, Ammon-san...

Yuhan: As the food and drinks were decided... How about to choose flowers to decorate the room?

Ammon: Right, flowers...

Ammon: In the eastern land... There's a custom to arrange flowers, right?

Lato: Arranging... flowers?

Ammon: Right. It's a bit different in Central land.

Ammon: Combined with a beautiful vase... A well-thought-out beauty.

Yuhan: Yeah. I think it's suitable for Central land.

Yuhan: Aside from ikebana, I think that "Chabana"(?) would also be good.

You: -Chabana...?

-( There are even tea flowers....)

Bastien: Chabana... That's the first time I heard about it.

Ammon: In short, tea flowers are the flowers that are displayed in the tea room.

Ammon: Rather than ikebana, it puts more emphasis on being natural. Seasonality of flowers is also the key.

Ammon: For example, fresh windflowers picked up in nature.

Hanamaru: Heh, as expected from Ammon. You know everything about flowers.

Ammon: Hehe. Well, not that I've done it myself. I just have this knowledge.

Ammon: But, I see. Chabana...

Ammon: In Grosvenor's garden flowers are grown in flower beds. Besides, there are windflowers...

Ammon: It might be interesting to try.

Ammon: That's why I need everyone to quickly pick up some flowers!

You: Eh, now?

Bastien: Looking for flowers..? I'm not sure which I should choose....

Ammon: That's okay. Even if the flower seems simple, that's its charm.

Bastien: I see. Then, Ammon-san will...?

Ammon: I'll arrange the vase.

Ammon: I'll prepare the vase that perfectly matches the atmosphere of Eastern land.

Ammon: I'll bring the catalog... I'd like to hear aruji-sama's opinion.

You: Mine?

Ammon: Of course. You're the guest at the party, after all.

Ammon: I don't think it'll be too difficult. Don't worry too much♪

You: Understood.

Bastien: I see.. I'll leave it to Ammon-san then.

Yuhan: Then, aruji-sama. Please, excuse me for a moment.

You: Mm, good luck.

The butlers bowed. They left me alone with Ammon as they left to pick up the windflowers.

Ammon: They're gone....

You: Let's choose the vase together.

Ammon: Oh-ho? What did you say, aruji-sama?

Ammon: What vase? I've already put one in another room next to ours. (This dude---)

You: Eh...?

Ammon: Hehe. Which flowers would decorate the venue have been decided in advance.

Ammon: We have arranged the perfect tableware... The only thing to do was to decorate it with flowers.

Ammon: Everyone deiced to collect flowers by themselves.. I just went along with that♪

You: But, what for..?

Ammon: Hehe. That would be...

Ammon: I will spend some private time with aruji-sama♪

Ammon: Speaking of The Valentine's day... You need to spend time with your loved ones.

Ammon: And speaking of my loved ones, it's aruji-sama, of course.

Ammon: We have delicious wine here...

Ammon: With important to me person... Drinking wine, while being surrounded by beautiful flowers...

Ammon: Well, the flowers are still to be here. While aruji-sama is here, that's already enough.

Ammon: Hehe. What about aruji-sama?

Ammon: With your loved one... You don't want to loose romantic time, do you..?

You: Teasing me like that again...

Ammon: Teasing..? I'm being honest, aruji-sama.

Ammon: The words of feeling the importance of aruji-sama... There's not even a single lie.

Ammon: Thinking how to spend more alone time with aruji-sama... As a result, I alienated other butlers.

Ammon: Hey... What are the true intentions of aruji-sama..?

Ammon: For someone like me... Is it okay to tell my true feelings..?

You: A-Ammon..

I was fully aware that it was the part of his strategy, but... When I look in those serious eyes... I can't help but speak my true feelings.

Lato: Kufufu... That's it, Ammon-kun.

You: !?

Ammon: Oh? Isn't that Lato-san?

Ammon: And everyone else... Have you already finished picking the flowers up?

Hanamaru: No. Actually, we were interrupted by the guard.

Yuhan: He said that the flowers were needed to decorate the party venue...

Yuhan: "You can't pick these flowers! Go to a flower shop!" is what he said...

Yuhan: Jeez.. That's a real problem for those, who can't understand simple beauty.

Bastien: Since we had no other choice, we decided to come back.

Hanamaru: Hehe. Looks like we made the right decision.

Hanamaru: Had it been a bit later, Ammon would pick the most beautiful flower.

Ammon: No wa~y, Hanamaru-san. Don't say such bad things about me.

Ammon: I just wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of The Valentine's day. Surely, aruji-sama would understand that it's just for fun♪

Hanamaru: However, why is aruji-sama's face so red?

Lato: It's good that there are vases in other room.

You: U-Uhm...

Ammon: Alright, everyone! There's a little time left to prepare for the party.

Ammon: Let's all work hard to collect the most beautiful flowers♪

Hanamaru: Ah. Changing the topic.

Yuhan: Fufu. But Ammon-san is right.

Yuhan: Since we have time... Let's all work hard to make the best pre-party.

Bastien: Yeah.. That's right.

So I watched as Ammon and the others decorated the venue... I wonder whether Ammon was serious or not earlier...

***

"So that's how it is" I thought as I flipped through the wine catalog. Ammon was very hospitable at the pre-party... Now, it's my turn to repay him. I bought him wine from Rosetown... And for Ammon... I prepared his favorite cheese. Being happy with him... I wanted to express it in a gift.

Knock knock.

You: Come in.

Ammon: As I said, I came alone, aruji-sama~

Ammon: I heard that you wanted to do something...

Ammon: Hehe. Maybe it has to do something with The Valentine's day~?

You: I want to give this to you.

Ammon: Eh? This is...

Ammon: Wine..? And, could it be..

Ammon: Really... Could it be a Valentine's gift?

You: - That's right.

- Thank you, Ammon.

Ammon: Hehe. Thank you, aruji-sama.

Ammon: This is... Rosetown's wine, right?

You: Apparently it goes well with cheese.

Ammon: Really? You've adapted it to my taste!

You: If you'd like, you can drink now.

When I said that, Ammon sat at the table I had prepared in advance. He took the empty glass and some cheese.

Ammon: Hehe... I had never thought that I would spend The Valentine's day with aruji-sama...

Ammon: Of course, I'll drink some! Because everything is delicious when I'm with aruji-sama.

Ammon: So, excuse me...

As Ammon pour some wine into the glass, he fully enjoys the scent. As he takes one sip... He takes some time to enjoy the taste.

Ammon: ... It's delicious, aruji-sama.

Ammon: The moment you open the bottle, there's a faint fragrance...

Ammon: It felt like flowers had bloomed in my mouth.

Ammon: Aruji-sama's feelings... They feel like flowers with no thorns.

Ammon: Hehe. I can't believe you gave me such a wonderful present...

Ammon: Really... Aruji-sama likes me♪

As usual, Ammon says something that is hard for me to respond to... But today I was a little braver than usual.

You: I really do.

Ammon: Eh...

You: I want you to continue being by my side.

Ammon: Erm... Aruji-sama...

Ammon: That's... Could it be....

Ammon: The revenge for pre-party time?

You: Did your heart flutter...?

Ammon: Hehe. It pretty much did♪

Ammon: I've never expected it from aruji-sama...

Ammon: But... If you allow me to give you a piece of advice...

Ammon: Don't you think the main part was revealed a little bit too early?~

Ammon: If only you could make me more nervous... It'd be more interesting~

You: I'm nothing like Ammon...

Ammon: Hehe. Well, I'm a pro in this sphere.

Ammon: ( Although, if I was more nervous... I doubt that I'd be able to restrain myself...)

You: What's wrong?

Ammon: N-No... Nothing!

Ammon: Spending The Valentine's day with aruji-sama is the best... I had to clench my teeth.

Ammon: Well then. We have wine and cheese...

Ammon: Just a little bit longer... Is it okay if I spend some more time being happy? Aruji-sama...

You: Of course.

Although I said something like that to make Ammon's heart flutter, I had to gather all my courage up.... I had to back up... I was more nervous, than I thought I'd be. And now... I wonder if Ammon always harbors feelings like that. While I was thinking about it... I spent some time with Ammon on The Valentine's day.

THE END.

a/n: I really hope you don't mind my adapted translation because holy shit the translation of translator is something. also, please don't mind any grammatical errors, it's literally like midnight and I suck at grammar. hope y'all enjoyed seeing blushing ammon. (because i really did)

Honeymoon Knight / Chapter 17 - Reliable Butlers

Prev | All | Next

~ A while later ~

We were done trying on wedding outfits, so we left the store and walked through the streets.

Before that… I tried on the outfits picked by the 4 of them, including Muu. All the outfits were wonderful… Just being able to try them on made me feel good, but most of all, I was happy to be complimented. 

Flure: "My lord, you seem quite happy, don't you?"

> “Huh? D-do I?” > (Did it show on my face…?)

Miyaji: "It's good to see you enjoying yourself."

Lato: "Kufufu. I'll make sure you have even more fun."

> "Thank you, everyone"

Lato: "But still... This trip seems to be peaceful, huh…"

Flure: "What do you mean by that all of a sudden, Lato."

Lato: "We were requested to be the noble's escorts… Not only that the nobles aren't attacked by thieves or citizens... There haven't been any angel attacks either. Spending time with my lord is enjoyable, but... Thinking about standing still again from tomorrow makes me depressed out of boredom."

Muu: "He seemed so happy just a moment ago... It's really sudden."

Flure: "Lato has these moments occasionally. Suddenly changing the topic... Confusing everyone."

Lato: "Sigh... Wouldn't it be nice if one or two angels attacked..."

Miyaji: "Lato. You shouldn't say things like that too often. Many people have lost families and acquaintances from angel attacks. You never know who might be listening to your words."

Lato: "Hmm... But I just want to destroy angels, you know? Of course, I genuinely want a life-or-death battle with angels... I'm not going to pretend I don't. It's my duty to destroy angels, after all. Those who have suffered... Wouldn't they be happy if I defeated the angels? Personally... I don't particularly want the angels to rampage and erase humans as they please... I haven't said anything to the contrary, have I?"

Miyaji: "I see. Lato, I understand what you're trying to say. You interpreted it that way from my statement.  However... Perceptions vary depending on the listener. So... even if you have no ill intentions... It's better not to say things that might hurt someone.  Especially because it might backfire on you. I know you don't intend to hurt anyone... But those who don't know much about you... might not interpret it that way."

Lato: "Prof. Miyaji... Understood. If Prof. Miyaji says so, I won't say it."

Miyaji: "Thank you, Lato."

Flure: "This exchange... Feels like we've done it thousands of times already..."

Muu: "Th-Thousands of times...?"

Lato: "Hmm... It does feel like I've heard this before."

Muu: "I-I see... So you've been warned before."

Flure: "Sigh... Lato has no interest in anyone other than those around him... He doesn't fully understand Prof. Miyaji's words. It's a different story if it concerns avoiding harm to you, my lord... or for Prof. Miyaji's sake, though…”

> "Well, that's just how Lato is"

Flure: “My lord... You seem to be less surprised by Lato's words and actions by now. Well, it's only natural after being together for over a year."

Buzz—! Buzz—!

> "Huh!?"

Miyaji: "...!! This alarm is...!"

Flure: "C-Could it be an angel alarm!?"

Lato: "Prof. Miyaji. Can I go hunting?"

Miyaji: "Yeah. But we'll go with you."

Lato: "My lord. Please release my power."

Flure: "M-me too...! Please, my lord!"

> "Understood."

‘Come forth, allies of the Covenant. I summon thee.' 'By the pact with the demon, release the power of Flure and Lato.'

Flure: "Thank you, my lord. Lato. Where did the angel appear?"

Lato: "I hear screams coming from the west. It sounds like people are fleeing."

Flure: "To the west... Let's go, Lato...!"

Tap tap tap

Flure: "Hey, Lato...! Sigh... He's acting on his own again!"

Miyaji: "Flure. Let's follow Lato. My lord and Muu, stay close to me."

> "Okay”

Muu: “Y-yes!”

[Tisailles, Town's West Area]

Tap tap tap

Flure: "There he is! It's Lato!"

When we caught up... Lato was in the midst of fighting an angel. That said... the angel's wings were already broken, and it was lying on the ground. And Lato, with his foot on the angel's back, threw the dagger he held... towards the angel's body.

Angel: "............"

Lato: "Hff... hff...  Fufu… fufufu…. It was quite a swift angel. I enjoyed it."

Miyaji: "He defeated it before we arrived... Lato is truly amazing."

> "I'm glad he's safe..."

Miyaji: "Yeah, me too."

At that moment, when we were relieved.

Angel: "............"

From an alley behind Lato... another angel flew towards him at a rapid speed. I immediately shouted to warn Lato.

> "W-watch out...!" > “Lato…!”

Miyaji: "Lato...!"

Whoosh... Thud...!

Almost simultaneously with our shouts... an arrow pierced the angel's wing. The angel lost balance... and crashed into a building wall, passing by Lato. The arrow that was released was shot by Flure, who was right behind me.

> "Flure...!"

Flure: "Lato...! Now!"

Lato: "Yes, I got it...!"

Shunk...!

Angel: " ‘D-die… f-for… for…’ ‘............’ "

Lato: "Hm…… I didn't expect there were two... I was a little too careless."

Flure: "Phew... that was close."

> "Flure! That was amazing!"

Flure: "M-my lord... Thank you."

Muu: "Flure's shot! It was amazing! Shooting down the angel's wings that flew at such a high speed in an instant!"

Flure: "I'm really glad it hit..."

Miyaji: "If it weren't for Flure's arrow... I don't know what would have happened. It was a good decision. Amazing, Flure."

Flure: "P-prof. Miyaji too..."

Lato: "Kufufu... to think that Flure saved me this time... We've been together for quite a while, but perhaps this is the first time?"

Flure: "Maybe… yes."

Lato: "Flure's reliability is evident even in situations like this. Truly... you've grown stronger, Flure."

Flure: "Lato..."

Miyaji: "Let's inform everyone about Flure's heroic deed today."

Flure: "N-no... You don't have to."

Miyaji: "There's no need to be modest. You saved a comrade from an angel's danger. It's something to be proud of and... praised. I want everyone to know about your growth and abilities."

Flure: "P-Prof. Miyaji..."

Miyaji: “Don't you agree, my lord?"

> “Yes!" > "Flure, you were amazing!"

Flure: "My lord... Thank you… very much. Fufu… I'm glad I continued practicing archery."

As Flure spoke with such joy, his eyes glistened with tears. We observed him warmly in that moment. And thus, the journey in Tisailles came to a close.

note: edited Flure's dialogue because I misunderstood that line

[Specialized Wedding Dress Shop]

~ A while later ~

We arrived at the specialized wedding dress shop. Inside the shop... Rows of white and dazzling outfits were neatly arranged.

Lato: "Quite beautiful, isn't it?"

Muu: "Wow~! They're so beautiful and luxurious!"

Flure: "Amazing, as expected of Tisailles. The designs that utilize frills are impressive."

Miyaji: "Fufu... Will this be helpful as a reference for clothes making?"

Flure: "Yes, very much so! Thank you for guiding us, Prof. Miyaji!"

At that moment, a shop assistant appeared from the back of the store.

Shop Assistant: "Welcome... Oh, my...?"

Flure: "Hm...?"

Shop Assistant: "No way!? Aren't you the model from the team 'Garcia' who was the runner-up in the contest?  I became a fan after watching the contest!"

Flure: “Uh, uhm... Th-thank you..."

Shop Assistant: "I was so moved by your sense of style! I'd love to ask for your advice!"

Flure: "Um, well... Um..."

> (Is Flure feeling shy?)

Lato: "Ms. shop assistant... Could you please not bother Flure too much?"

Shop Assistant: "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to suddenly ask for a favor. I'll ask for advice another time.  W-well then... Please take a look at our clothes. You can also try them on!"

With that, the shop assistant went back to the back of the store.

> "Are you okay, Flure?"

Flure: "Y-yes... I was surprised, but I'm happy."

> "It's good that you have fans now, Flure"

Miyaji: "It's the result of your efforts, Flure."

Lato: "By the way, that shop assistant... mentioned that you can try on the clothes. My lord, would you like to try putting on some?"

> "Me?"

Flure: "Right... That might be nice! My lord, it would be a waste not to try on such beautiful clothes! It's rare to have the opportunity to try on Tisailles’ wedding dresses... Let's try on a few!"

Muu: "I want to see my lord wearing beautiful clothes too!"

> "I-if you all insist..."

Lato: "Kufufu… Then it's settled. It's a wonderful day to see our beautiful lord wearing beautiful clothes."

> “E-err..."

Miyaji: "Sigh... You shouldn't trouble the lord too much, you guys. But... I must admit, I'm also happy to see the lord looking beautiful."

> "Even Miyaji..."

Miyaji: "Oops... Sorry."

Flure: "So, my lord. Shall we choose some clothes? Do you have any preferences for the design? I'll also help you choose."

> "Hmm..."

As I looked around the store... I couldn't decide because they were not the usual clothes I wear.

Flure: "Fufu... Are you having trouble deciding? In that case, how about this outfit? The length is perfect... It's made of lightweight fabric, so it should feel comfortable!"

Lato: "I see, lightweight clothes... Seems easy to dance in."

Miyaji: "The vibrant colors of the embroidery are lovely. Overall, it gives an elegant impression... I think it will suit you very well."

Muu: "I agree! That outfit is perfect for you!"

> "Okay, I'll try on this outfit"

I handed my jacket to the butlers... and headed to the fitting room with the wedding outfit in hand. 

~ A while later ~

I changed into the wedding outfit... and returned to the butlers.

> "Sorry to keep you waiting"

As I spoke, the butlers turned to face me.

Muu: "Wow...! My lord, it looks amazing on you!"

Flure: "A-amazing..."

Lato: "Hmm..."

Miyaji: "This is..."

Muu: "Huh? What's wrong, everyone?"

> "...Could it be that it doesn't suit me?"

Flure: “I-it's not that! It looks amazing and beautiful! It's just that... it's too beautiful... I was at a loss for words..."

Lato: "Yes, me too. My lord was so beautiful that... I couldn't take my eyes off. Kufufu... Is this what they mean by captivating?"

Miyaji: "My Lord... The wedding outfit looks really good on you.  ...It's very beautiful. I truly believe that from the bottom of my heart."

> "Th-thank you..."

As I was praised by everyone, I felt embarrassed and inadvertently looked down.

Muu: "Hehe, it feels like... My lord is getting married to the butlers in the basement!"

> "Eeehh!?"

Flure: "W-Wait a minute, Muu!? What are you saying!?"

Lato: "Kufufu… Are the three of us getting married to you, my lord...? That's an interesting idea."

> "L-Lato?"

Lato: "In that case, my lord. Let's go to Velis and ride the gondola."

> "Huh?"

Flure: "Lato… Why are you suddenly suggesting something like that."

Lato: "I heard from Mr. Lucas. Apparently, in Velis... it's famous for couples who have pledged their love to ride the gondola.  If I remember correctly, while riding the gondola... they praise each other, and happiness comes to them... It sounds like an interesting story... so I'd like to try it."

> "Errrr..."

Flure: "Lato, hold on a second! Are you casually suggesting that the lord and us get married?"

Lato: "Is that a problem?"

Flure: "Of course it's a problem. We're butlers…!"

Lato: "Is it... not okay?"

Flure: "It's not okay!"

Lato: "Sigh... I understand. If Flure says so..."

Miyaji: "Don't be discouraged, Lato. Look, even if we can't get married… riding the gondola with the lord can bring happiness, don't you think? Riding the gondola doesn't necessarily mean getting married."

Lato: "Prof. Miyaji… Fufu, you're right. If it brings happiness to the lord, then that's enough."

Muu: "U-um, sorry to break it to you... but actually, the butlers on the third floor have already ridden the gondola."

> “Yes……” > "That's right"

Lato: "I see... is that so? Then... let's ride it again."

Miyaji: "Um, Lato... I should let you know, it's impossible to go to Velis right now."

Flure: "Yeah, there's no time for that."

Lato: "Oh... is that so? That's unfortunate. Then, my lord, next time we go to Velis... please ride the gondola with me. Will you promise me that, my lord?"

> "S-sure..."

Lato: "Thank you, my lord."

Flure: "...That sounds nice. ...If possible, I also…”

> "Huh?"

Flure: "Ah... i-it's nothing."

Lato: "Oh my, Flure, do you also want to ride it? I don't mind."

Flure: "N-No...! I mean..."

Lato: "Oh, is that not it?"

Flure: "It is... but..."

Lato: "Kufufu... Flure is still so shy. If you want to ride too, why don't you clearly convey it yourself?"

Flure: "Right... it's frustrating, but... as Lato said...  M-my lord... if you would, please ride the gondola with me. O-of course... just the two of us, please."

> “Of course” > "It's a promise”

Flure: "Th-Thank you! My lord!"

Lato: "Kufufu... Flure has grown up. As his older brother, I'm pleased."

Flure: "Ugh, even though it's frustrating... I have to admit that Lato's advice was helpful this time."

Miyaji: "Fufufu... While it's good that both of you will ride the gondola with the lord... Remember, there are risks on the water. Make sure to protect the lord."

Flure: "Of course!"

Lato: "Understood, Prof. Miyaji."

Flure: "Anyway…! let's leave the gondola talk at that…! My lord! Would you like to try the outfit over there? I think it'll definitely look good on you!"

> “I-I'll try on another outfit?"

Miyaji: “Indeed. I'd like to see my lord wearing various outfits."

Lato: "Kufufu... Why don't we try on all the outfits while we're at it?"

> “Wh-what!?"

Muu: "M-mr. Lato… That's a bit much..."

Miyaji: "Lato, the lord might get tired."

Lato: "Kufufu... I was just joking, joking..."

> "That's a relief..."

Flure: "Geez... Lato's jokes are hard to understand.”

note: it's not specifically a jacket, it could be a coat, cardigan, etc

🌸 Akuneko Spring Campaign 🌸

Summary:

Guaranteed SSR banner (one try for each player)

Daily 1 free summon (up to 20) starting April 4th sorry, I meant April 11th.

Special Mission you can tap above the event button. Mission: read all Main Story Ep. 1 and Ep. 2 (edit: end on April 30th, sorry) and use the sleep support feature (limited time only, do it before April 4th for 100 gems. Make sure to use the feature for at least 15 mins to clear)

Special login bonus including 1000 gems, 50 pages, and 500 ribbons in total

Special beginner pack with higher gem value than normal and the 15? (Edit: sorry, it was $30) pack one include 3 Sakura flowers you can trade for past omoide/memories at the shop

Spring-edition voice collection

Spring dress-up items rerun, tap the light pink with Sakura-aura butterfly (Not to be confused with the regular darker pink butterfly that appears in the morning) edit: apparently it's not darker or lighter, just has the Sakura-aura

They call it “Beginner”, but both old and new players can enjoy the campaign.

The 1 million download login bonus (33 free pulls) is also still ongoing, so this is a pretty good time to start.

These past omoides are usually 80 gems each, iirc. We can only buy it with the Sakura flowers for now, I don't know if it'll return to normal or not.

I just checked the gems shop. It's still available there for 80 gems each

If you haven't cleared the event missions (right-most tab in missions) it's better to tap the blue event roses instead of the Sakura butterfly for now. The event still has a week left and you should trade the stamps for gems and ribbons. The Sakura butterfly will appear for a good 3 months, so you can collect them later.

I haven't cleared it
