Kagari Amagase
Be My Lover, Be My Beast
Ch1 | Ch2 | Sweet | Premium | Epilogue| Bonus
Warning: Mention of death
(I never expected this moment to come so soon.)
As I looked out the window of the swaying carriage,
The reflection I saw wasn’t the same person who had been happily munching on dorayaki a few hours ago.
My hair was beautifully arranged with a cherry blossom hairpin, and the petals dangling from it added a touch of delicate and ephemeral look.
When I lowered my gaze, I saw the vibrant kimono I was wearing, with its cream-colored fabric adorned with snowflakes and small flowers, its skirt flaring out like a dress.
(I’m happy to wear this kimono, but how did it come to this? No, more importantly...)
●●●●●● Flashback ●●●●●●
Kagari: "Please be my lover"
●●●●●● Flashback End ●●●●●●
(What did he mean by that...?)
Seeking answers, I looked at Prince Kagari, who was seated across from me.
Kagari: "What’s the matter? You seem restless."
Emma: "Prince Kagari, isn’t there something you need to tell to me?"
Tumblr media
Kagari: "You look adorable. The kimono suits you."
Emma: "R-Really? Thank you— Wait, that’s not what I meant."
Kagari: "I know. Don’t worry, I didn’t mean it literally when I asked you to be my lover."
Emma: "So, what did you mean...?"
Kagari: "....."
A sudden silence fell, and Prince Kagari glanced at the sword beside him, letting out a small sigh.
Kagari: "There’s someone I need to convince that I have a lover, no matter what."
Kagari: "That’s why I want you to pretend to be my lover at the place we’re going to."
Kagari: "I considered paying a woman from the entertainment district, but it would be too obvious a lie or mistaken as a casual affair."
Kagari: "So will you help me? My kind-hearted Princess?"
Emma: "Calling me that doesn’t really help your case, you know?"
(I see. So that’s why I was made to change into this outfit... to look like his lover.)
(This is the first time Prince Kagari has asked me for something so seriously.)
(Whoever this person is must be very important to him.)
Prince Kagari has helped me in many situations.
Now that I have a chance to repay that kindness, I had no hesitation.
Emma: "I understand. If I can be of help, I’ll do my best to play the role of your lover."
Kagari: "I knew you’d say that. I appreciate it."
Kagari: "Think about what you want as a reward. I’ll get you whatever you wish for."
(He probably won’t take ‘nothing’ as an answer...)
Emma: "In that case, could you treat me to one more dorayaki from the sweets shop we just visited?"
Emma: "It was so delicious that I’m planning to try all the flavors while I’m in Kogyoku."
Kagari: "You could have asked for something more extravagant, yet you ask for so little."
Kagari: "Dorayaki, I’ll remember that."
Emma: "Thank you."
Emma: "Whoa...!?!"
The carriage jolted sharply, likely from riding over a stone.
The sudden movement lifted me from my seat, and I found myself caught by Prince Kagari in front of me.
Kagari: "Are you alright?"
Emma: "Yes, I’m sorry..."
(Although I’m grateful, this is so embarrassing... It looks like I just jumped into his arms.)
Kagari: "....."
His red hair was so close it brushed against my cheek, making my heart race.
I tried to pull away quickly, but for some reason, he grabbed both my arms, holding me in place.
Kagari: "I know I’m the one who asked, but are you really capable of playing the role of my lover?"
Emma: "I-I can do it… in my head, at least."
Kagari: "Just standing next to me isn’t enough to convince anyone that we’re lovers."
(Ugh… How did he see through me?)
Kagari: "It’s better to get used to it so you don’t give yourself away."
Kagari: "I’m doing this for you, shy little princess, so you won’t be acting so awkward just because we’re close."
Emma: "W-Wait...!"
Prince Kagari effortlessly lifted me up and seated me on his lap.
Who could have predicted the day I’d sit on a man’s lap? My whole body felt like it was about to burst into flames.
Kagari: "Let's stay like this until we reach our destination. You’ll have to get used to me, whether you like it or not."
Kagari: "And then we’ll hold hands, look into each other’s eyes..."
Kagari: "Ah, I almost forgot something important."
He intertwined his fingers with mine and pulled my head close with his other hand.
When I squirmed from the warmth that touched my neck, I heard a slightly dissatisfied voice.
Tumblr media
Kagari: "Don’t move, or I won’t be able to put it on."
Emma: "You’re not talking about a hickey, are you?"
Kagari: "What else would I be putting on you? A cut?"
Emma: "That’s even worse!"
Emma: "I said I’d pretend to be your lover, but please don’t leave any marks on me."
(I didn’t expect this much physical contact...)
Kagari: "It’ll fade in a few days, won’t it?"
Emma: "Yes."
Kagari: "The I suppose kissing you here is out of the question too."
Emma: "Of course it is! Absolutely not!"
He lightly touched my lips with his fingers, and I felt my body temperature rise again.
Kagari: "…I don’t get it."
Kagari: "How is it any different from holding hands or touching each other like this?"
He tilted his head in genuine confusion, and I felt a wave of both embarrassment and surprise welled up inside me.
Emma: "While it’s similar in that it’s physical contact, a kiss on the lips is something that particularly expresses affection."
Emma: "It’s an act of confirming each other’s feelings and sharing happiness, and I want to save that for someone special."
Kagari: "Is that so?"
He looked slightly upward as if pondering, but I could tell he wasn’t entirely convinced.
Kagari: "I understand your perspective. I’ll be mindful from now on."
(I managed to express my thoughts clearly, but... was that really enough?)
(To Prince Kagari, a kiss isn’t about pleasure or conveying feelings emotions; it’s just a meaningless act of touching, like everything else we’re doing right now…)
Thinking that made me feel a little sad, as if I was the only one who was overly conscious of it.
Kagari: "Oh, that’s right. I had something to give you."
Emma: "Huh? What is it?"
Prince Kagari reached for a box attached to the carriage, as if he’d just remembered something.
(Oh...!)
What he pulled out was a dagger, and I found myself tensing up unconsciously.
Kagari: "In Kogyoku, not carrying a weapon is something only those with a death wish do."
Kagari: "If you don’t want to die a pointless death, keep this on you at all times."
For someone like me, who grew up in a peaceful place, the thought of carrying a weapon still felt a bit unsettling.
But here, being careless, even for a second, could cost me my life.
(If I don’t want to seem like someone who doesn’t value their life, then I guess…)
Emma: "...Thank you."
I accepted the short dagger with both hands.
It was heavier and more sturdy than I had imagined, and it felt like it weighed on my heart as well.
Kagari: "But if you ever want to die, let know me. I’ll make it painless for you."
(That’s the words of someone who’s seen a lot of death.)
Though I couldn’t read Prince Kagari’s emotions or thoughts from his expression, I could tell that he meant what he said.
Emma: "I... no matter how tough things get, I don’t think I’ll ever choose death myself."
Kagari: "That’s very much like you. Hold on to that thought."
Kagari: "...No matter what happens."
…..
Tumblr media
(Wow...)
To my surprise, we had been brought to a casino.
The floor was bustling, and I had to raise my voice a little to even be heard.
Emma: "I didn’t know there were places like this in Kogyoku."
Kagari: "There’s been ongoing factional struggles in Kogyoku, with various countries supporting them."
Kagari: "Because of that, there’s a lot of cultural influence from outside. The casino is one of the results of that."
Emma: "I see..."
(And the person we’re here to see is somewhere in this place... I never would have guessed from the serious expression on his face when he asked me to do this.)
(Now I’m even more curious about who it is.)
Emma: "...."
A large hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me close, and I instinctively tensed up.
Kagari: "You didn’t cry out this time. A gold star for you, Princess."
My heart pounded at his low whisper in my ear, and all I could do was nod.
(If it weren’t for what happened in the carriage, this would’ve been bad.)
I moved my feet to match Prince Kagari’s as he began to walk.
(Come to think of it… it’s my first time wearing a kimono, so it should’ve been difficult to walk, yet I’m able to keep up with him...)
(No, it's more like he’s adjusting his pace to mine.)
I silently thanked him for his kindness and discreetly surveyed the area.
(Why do I feel like everyone’s staring at us?)
Emma: "Prince Kagari, is there something strange about me? Like, am I moving stiffly or have a strange expression...?"
Kagari: "The stares are more because of me than you."
Kagari: "It’s rare for me to come to a casino or to be seen with a woman for that matter."
(But I don’t remember ever being this blatantly stared at in town...)
(It’s like everyone here knows Prince Kagari very well.)
Emma: "Um, Prince Kagari, what kind of person is it that you want to convince you have a lover?"

Kagari Amagase
Be My Lover, Be My Beast
Ch1 | Ch2 | Sweet | Premium | Epilogue| Bonus
Warning: Mention of blood
The second prince of Kogyoku, a country known for its tumultuous times and night cherry blossoms, is feared as a "demon" due to his love for battle. He’s always calm and composed, making it impossible to read what he’s thinking.
That’s why I wanted to know—the true nature of the fierce heat that occasionally flickers in his emerald eyes.
Merchant: "Oh... Oh no."
Emma: "Is something wrong?"
Tumblr media
One day, after finishing my duties as Belle, I visited Kogyoku, where the cherry blossoms bloom all year round, along with the bookstore owner.
A merchant who had come to the inn where I was staying at to deliver a book I had ordered, showed me a package with a troubled look on his face.
Merchant: "The truth is, I thought your book was the last item to deliver today, but I just realized there’s still one more left."
Merchant: "If I deliver it now, I’ll keep an important client of mine waiting in the neighboring town, and that’s something I want to avoid..."
Emma: "If you’d like, I can deliver it for you."
Merchant: "What? But..."
Emma: "I’ve been wanting to thank you for always recommending such wonderful products, so please let me help!"
Merchant: "…Thank you, honestly, I appreciate it. The delivery location is somewhere you’ve been to before, so you should be fine."
Emma: "A place I’ve been to before?"
(Indeed, I’ve been here before.)
The delivery location was a grand castle standing proudly on a hill, with distinctive red tiles.
(It's strange how familiar this place feels... Oh, I remember, I’ve crossed paths with him here before...)
I glance down at the package I was holding carefully.
(It’s heavier than it looks... I wonder what’s inside.)
(Oh...)
When I lifted my head to climb the stairs, I noticed a figure at the very top.
Although they had their back turned to me, the fiery red hair tied in a braid told me who they were.
Emma: "Prince Kagari..."
(Huh? ...This scent...)
What wafted past my nose was the fleeting scent of cherry blossoms mixed with the thick smell of iron, as if to erase the former.
Tumblr media
Kagari: "Princess, your timing is as bad as ever."
(...)
When Prince Kagari turned around, his clothes were splattered with dark red patterns.
As soon as I realized what it was, my body temperature plummeted.
Emma: "A-Are you injured...?"
Kagari: "Don’t worry, it’s just blood."
(So all of that... is someone else’s blood...)
A different kind of fear crawled up from my spine.
Kogyoku is known as a war-torn land, where battles are an everyday occurrence.
Prince Kagari had stood on the battlefield since he was young, achieving countless victories.
His overwhelming strength has earned him the fearsome title of "demon," something I was told about even before coming to Kogyoku.
(I first met him when he saved me from being attacked by bandits, but...)
(Even though he had saved me, when I encounter situations like this, I can’t help but feel my legs trembling.)
Kagari: "Do you need something from me?"
Emma: "Yes."
Kagari: "…Speak from there."
Kagari: "You can at least manage that much, can’t you?"
(Did I have a tense expression on my face?)
(...No, I can’t be scared over something like this.)
Though his words were blunt, the concern hidden within them gradually calmed my racing heart.
(I’m the one who decided to come to this country, knowing it would be dangerous.)
I steeled myself and started moving my feet again, standing beside Prince Kagari.
And the moment I looked up at his expressionless emerald eyes—
(Huh...?)
Kagari: "You’re quite the brave one, Princess. But don't complain if the scent rubs off on you."
A red-gloved hand covered touched my neck.
In a situation where it felt like my life was being held in someone else’s hands, I almost forgot how to breathe.
Kagari: "Didn’t you consider that I might be on edge after returning from battle?"
Emma: "I... I don’t think you’re the type of person who would take out their frustrations on innocent people."
(If he were, he wouldn’t have taken the trouble to keep me from getting too close to him when I was scared.)
The hand that had been gripping my neck easily let go, allowing me to steady my shallow breath.
Kagari: "You’re right. If I were to take it out on someone, it would probably be one of my attendants."
(I feel sorry them...)
Kagari: "Don’t worry. There’s nothing to gain from killing you... for now."
Emma: "Is there a chance that could change?"
Kagari: "Who knows?"
(That’s ominous...)
Kagari: "So, what do you need from me?"
I handed Prince Kagari the package.
Emma: "I brought this package addressed to you from a merchant."
Kagari: "Why you?"
Emma: "It just turned out that way. The merchant was worried he wouldn’t make his next appointment on time if he delivered it himself."
Kagari: "I see. So you offered to deliver it for him?"
Kagari: "You’ve been made to work for free, you kind-hearted Princess."
Emma: "...That’s not a very pleasant way to put it."
Kagari: "It’s the truth. Deal with it."
Kagari: "....."
After receiving the package, Prince Kagari seemed to think for a moment, then looked back at me.
Kagari: "Thank you for going to the trouble. I appreciate it."
Emma: "It was nothing. Well then, I’ll be on my way..."
Emma: "......... Um, Prince Kagari?"
Kagari: "What is it?"
Emma: "I can’t leave if you’re holding onto my arm."
(And he’s got a pretty firm grip; I can’t even move.)
Prince Kagari’s expression remained unreadable as he looked down at me, as usual, making it impossible to know what he was thinking or feeling.
Kagari: "Don’t you want some dorayaki?"
Emma: "Dorayaki? Not particularly..."
Kagari: "I do. I’m going to change, so wait here."
Emma: "Huh? Wait, Prince Kagari... And he’s gone."
(Why dorayaki all of a sudden? And without even asking about my plans... Well, I don’t really have any, so it’s fine.)
(If I go home now, he’ll probably come after me...)
(Prince Kagari is still as abrupt and forceful as ever.)
After changing with frightening speed, Prince Kagari and I were soon riding in a carriage to a sweets shop in the neighboring town.
.....
Emma: "Matcha, sakura, strawberry, chestnut, butter... There are so many options. Do you have a recommendation, Prince Kagari?"
Tumblr media
Kagari: "All of them."
Emma: "...That doesn’t make it easier."
The sweet aroma of freshly baked dorayaki filled the air, making it hard to resist.
I kept scanning the menu from top to bottom, but I couldn’t decide.
(They all look so good... I’m leaning towards the classic red bean paste. But the butter one sounds interesting too.)
(No, since I’m in Kogyoku, I should probably go with the sakura flavor!)
Kagari: "Shopkeeper, one red bean paste with butter and one sakura, please."
Shopkeeper: "Got it, just a moment."
Emma: "...Did it show on my face?"
Kagari: "Your eyes are more honest than your mouth, Princess."
(It’s hard to hide anything from Prince Kagari.)
(Let’s see... The sakura dorayaki costs...…)
As I reached for my wallet, Prince Kagari suddenly grabbed my hand, stopping me.
With efficient movements, he used his other hand to pay the shopkeeper and took both dorayaki.
Kagari: "Too bad, I already paid."
Kagari: "Consider it as thanks for delivering the package."
(I see, so that’s why he brought me here.)
Emma: "Thank you. Then I’ll accept your offer and enjoy it."
(Woah...)
Still holding onto my hand, Prince Kagari led me to a nearby bench and had me sit down.
When I took the dorayaki he offered, the warmth of the freshly baked treat gently eased my heart.
Prince Kagari sat down beside me—and for some reason— turned to face me.
Kagari: "Princess, would you like to split the butter dorayaki with me?"
Emma: "Were you having trouble deciding too?"
Kagari: "...Something like that."
(Is he really fond of dorayaki?)
It was so unexpected that I couldn’t help but smile at the cuteness of it.
Emma: "I’d be happy to share. I was actually torn between the sakura and butter, so this makes me happy."
●●●●●● Flashback ●●●●●●
Tumblr media
Kagari: "Your eyes are more honest than your mouth, Princess."
●●●●●● Flashback End ●●●●●●
(Wait…. Did he order the butter dorayaki because he noticed I was struggling to decide between the two...?)
Kagari: "Here, Princess."
Emma: "Ah, sorry. I’ll split mine too."
I carefully broke the dorayaki in half and exchanged pieces with him.
(The slightly melted butter bean paste and the beautifully pink sakura bean paste... Which should I try first?)
(Which one did Prince Kagari start with?)
Kagari: "…That was good."
(What, he’s already finished!? It’s only been a few seconds!)
Ignoring my surprise, Prince Kagari stood up and spoke to the shopkeeper.
Kagari: "One more red bean paste dorayaki, please."
Shopkeeper: "Got it, coming right up."
(So... he didn’t suggest splitting because I was undecided; he just wanted more dorayaki for himself.)
(I never imagined Prince Kagari loved dorayaki THIS much.)
Prince Kagari sat down next to me again and, without changing his expression, began eating his dorayaki with complete focus.
(I still can’t quite read what he’s thinking, but from the way he looked out for me at the castle and thanked me with dorayaki...)
(He’s probably a kind person at heart.)
(Ah…. Both flavors were amazing.)
After finishing the dorayaki, a contented sigh escaped my lips without me realizing it.
Kagari: "Was it good, Princess?"
Emma: "Yes, very! They were so delicious; I’d love to try every flavor now."
As I nodded, his emerald eyes narrowed slightly in satisfaction.
Tumblr media
Kagari: "I see. Then I’ll treat you again."
Kagari: "So, please be my lover."

Only Look At Me CE: Nica Schwartz
Tumblr media
*Nica is calling Kate “robin” in German. Hence, each time he uses German, I will use quotation marks to denote that going forward in the story.
** Nica is calling Kate (robin) in English for this specific line. In other words, he is using the normal (komadori).
***The translation says "opposite" of him, but context suggests Kate is sitting next to him. That's how I interpreted it anyway.
This is a fan translation only. Not 100% accurate, so please expect grammatical errors. Cybird owns everything. Re-blogs are appreciated, but please do not post my translations elsewhere. Dividers: @/adornedwithlight. Thank you for your support! ☾.
Tumblr media
On my way home from submitting my report, I was stopped by an unexpected person.
Nica: Hey there, Miss.
One of the Vogel twins stood in front of me.
Kate: Is something wrong?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nica: Actually, I got lost, would you mind showing me around?
As I nodded in surprise, his almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
Nica: Thanks. 
Kate: No problem, so where are you headed?
Nica: The chambers we’re staying in, you know the way right?
Kate: Of course, it’s this way!
I pointed down the hallway and started walking, with him chuckling as he followed from behind.
Nica: Meeting you here, seems like I’ve still got it. 
(I’m little wary because of what Harrison said.)
(He’s easy to talk and doesn’t seem like a bad person.)
Even though I know they’re lying somehow, I still don’t know if it’s a bad lie.
(It’s not good to judge someone before you know them.)
We arrived in no time as I walked and thought this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nica: Thank you for your help, “Robin.”*
Kate: “Robin”?
Nica: It means “Robin” in German.
Nica: Doesn’t Crown call you, robin?**
Nica: Hence, “robin”.
He sat down and looked at the empty seat opposite to him.***
Nica: Won’t you have a seat?
Kate: Huh?
Nica: Let’s have a chat while you’re here. I’d like to ask you about work and other things.
Despite my being nervous that we were alone, he propped his chin on his hand.
Nica: Besides, I’m interested in you.
Even though he was smiling, his eyes pierced me like someone who’d caught his prey.
As I slowly sat down, he smiled in satisfaction while calling a maid for some tea.
Nica: Well then, should I introduce myself again?
Kate: Oh, please do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nica: I’m Nica Schwartz, the staff officer of Vogel, an organization under the direct command of the Emperor of Germany. 
Kate: What exactly does a staff officer do?
Nica: I gather information, and support Dari in various ways by using my brains.
Nica: Details are a confidential.
Nica: Oh, by the way. You can call me Nica. There’s no need to call me ‘Mister’.
Kate: Okay then, Nica.
His smile deepened as I called his name, and then he pointed at me.
Nica: Right, now it’s your turn.
Kate: I’m Kate, a Fairytale Keeper. There’s several reasons why I got this job, but I used to work as a postwoman.
Nica: Hmm, then you’re well-informed about the roadways?
Kate: That’s right! We delivered all over London, so I could even guide you.
Nica: That’s great, next time I’ll ask you to show me around the city.
His words interrupted me as I reached for my teacup.
Nica: What kinds of things do you do as a Fairytale Keeper?
Kate: My job entails accompanying Crown activities and recording what happens.
(In reality, there’s a lot more to it than that…..)
I don’t want to say anymore than that because I don’t think it’s a good idea to talk in detail.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nica: But you’re just an ordinary person aren’t you? Isn’t it dangerous?
Kate: The Crown members have promised to protect me.
Nica: Really….
He seemed to be thinking about something while listening to me speak, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable, but that feeling disappeared when his expression suddenly brightened.
Nica: You’re the verrry cute “robin” of Crown.
Nica: You’re cherished.
Kate: That’s n….
(It’s true that they treat me with respect but……)
It all started only because I witnessed them conquering evil with evil,
(I desperately didn’t want to die, which led me to where I am now.)
If I hadn’t said anything then, I might not be in this world now.
Nica: Dari probably wouldn’t like it, but it might be fun if Vogel had a Fairytale Keeper back home.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nica: Oh, but Ring wouldn’t do well.
Kate: Wouldn’t do well?
Nica: Ring’s my twin brother, but unlike me, he’s doesn’t socialize with others too well.
(It’s true, the first time we met, he gave off a cold impression….)
While I was thinking of our first encounter, Nica looked into my face.
Nica: What, are you curious about Ring?
Kate: No, that’s not it…..
Nica: My - that’s. Don’t do that.
He put his finger to my lips, and he smiled with extreme charm. 
Then we talked about trivial everyday life, and before I knew it, the sky had turned deep red.
(It’s already that time….)
When he looked at the clock, his eyes widened in exaggeration.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nica: Wow, it’s already this late. I guess it’s time to part ways.
Kate: Well, it’s was nice chatting with you.
Nica: Same here, let’s do it again.
I stood up, thanked him for opening the door, and was about to leave the room.
Kate: What?
He grabs a lock of my hair and places his lips upon its tips.
Nica: Until next time.
Even when my lips parted I was speechless.
Nica: Oh, did you forget your way home? 
Or do you want to stay locked up with me and not go home?
His inciting tone made me realize that I had been taken lightly.
(For Nica, this conversation was a wait-and-see thing, and if he got serious -)
-Then he could easily steal my heart.
Kate: Please, excuse me.
With my cheeks suddenly becoming hot, I started to run not caring if there were other people around.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nica: Bis Dann (Later), “Robin”.
Before my heart is stolen by him.
As I lay on the sofa, my younger brother entered with a gaunt face.
Nica: What is it, did you get lost again?
Ring: Yeah….it’s so large that I couldn’t tell where I was.
Ring sat on a chair and sighed.
Ring: I wish I could memorize the layouts of buildings as quickly as you do Nica……
I laugh at his words.
Nica: It’s possible to get lost on “purpose.”

I made up my mind and turned around to face him. 
Ring Schwartz — he was a member of Vogel, a research organisation under direct command of the German Emperor, with a goal of promoting the societal contributions of Cursed Ones. 
Ring: … Why are you asking me that?
Kate: I’m curious because you’ve been following me since morning…
Although I didn’t exactly sense it or hear his footsteps, Ring’s height made it difficult for him to hide and so it was obvious he was tailing me. 
Ring; Darius ordered me to investigate you. 
(What. Did he just blatantly admit that he’s “investigating me”...!?)
(Is there a reason why he’s being this straightforward…?) 
(In that case, I should be direct in my response too.)
Kate: What do you want to know about me?
Ring: You’ll answer if I ask?
Kate: Yes. As long as I have an answer.
Ring: I want to know… uh…
Ring: … I’ll ask Darius about it later. 
Kate: O-okay… got it. 
(Looks like Ring is absolutely obedient to Darius’ orders…) 
Kate: Do you plan to continue following me after this?
Ring: Yeah.
(What should I do… oh, that’s right!)
Kate: In that case, please make sure you don't leave my side!
Ring: …?
I smiled at the idea I had in mind, and Ring cocked his head in confusion. 
… 
Kate: I had something I wanted to buy, but all the members of Crown are busy today…
Kate: I was able to get permission to go outside today because you’re coming along, so you were a big help! 
Ring: You used my investigation to your advantage… not bad.
Ring: … Also, the fact that an escort is necessary for you shows that you’re someone rather important. 
(It’s actually because I’m under surveillance by Crown, but… I don’t have to tell him that.) 
Kate: I should do something to thank you for going shopping with me.
Tumblr media
Ring: … Then stop addressing me as “Ring-san”. It’s uncomfortable.*
Kate: … Shall I address you as “Ring-kun”, then?*
* For consistency's sake, I'll drop the honorifics as I always do in my IkeVil translations.
Ring: I don’t mind. That’s fine. 
(He says he’s fine with it…) 
(He’s wary of me one moment, and the next thing I know he's allowing me to address him in a more friendly manner… Ring’s a mysterious one.) 
While I was distracted by Ring, I accidentally bumped into a man passing by. 
Boorish Man: Ah!? Watch where you’re walkin’!
Kate: I-I’m sorry! I’ll be more careful. 
Boorish Man: Pay for my medical bill. If ya ain’t got money… I don’t mind if ya pay with yer body. 
The moment the man sneered and reached out to grab my arm— 
Ring: I was ordered not to cause trouble in public. … Let’s escape. 
Ring grabbed my arm and started running. 
Boorish Man: Where did she go!? I won’t let her escape!
Kate: Ah… it’s a dead end. 
Ring: Hide here. 
Ring pushed me into the storage shed of a nearby private residence before slipping in. 
The shed wasn’t very spacious, so the two of us were crammed together. 
Ring: Hold your breath until he leaves.
Kate: O-okay…
The sounds of Ring’s breathing and heartbeat were especially loud in the silence. 
Seemingly having felt the same way, Ring spoke up to break the awkward tension. 
Tumblr media
Ring: T-there's something I want to ask… um… what’s this smell coming from you? 
Kate: I didn’t put on any fragrance today, so I don’t think I smell like anything in particular…
Ring: Is that so…
Ring: … Then this must be your natural scent. 
Kate: Oh, I’m so sorry. I must be reeking of sweat from all that running. 
Ring: Y-you don’t! It’s a dizzying, pleasant scent… I just wanted to know what it was….
Tumblr media
Ring: I like this scent much, I want to keep smelling it forev—...
Kate: …
Ring: … [shocked]
Ring: Oh, uh…! … My bad. That was a weird thing to say. 
Ring: Uhh, umm… 
Ring: Hm…? What’s this over here? Is this something from inside this shed? 
Tumblr media
Ring: It’s very soft when I poke it with my finger… it feels nice to touch. 
Kate: T-that’s….
Kate: My… breast…
Ring: …………… breast. 
Kate: S-sorry. It’s too cramped here and we ended up touching… 
Tumblr media
Ring: …………… ah.
Ring: WAAAHHHHHH!! 
With a yell that sounded almost like a distressed cry, Ring jumped out of the shed.
Afterwards, I heard a loud thud as though something was hit, followed by complete silence.
(W-what just happened…?) 
Cautiously, I stepped out of the shed— 
— I saw Ring sheath his sword, and the man who had been chasing me laid unconscious on the ground.
Kate: Um… 
Ring: … I didn't kill him. Only knocked him out with the hilt. 
(Amazing. He knocked the guy out in an instant…) 
Ring: Damn, had I known that sort of thing would happen, I would've done this sooner.
(“That sort of thing”... he’s referring to accidentally touching my breast, right?) 
Kate: I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable.
Rings Uncomfortable…? No, it wasn't uncomfortable.
Tumblr media
Ring: If anything, it felt goo—...
Kate: …? 
Ring: N-n-no-nothing! It was an accident… sorry. F-forget whatever happened just now! 
Ring: I’ll also… um… try hard to forget everything. I’ll try my best not to think about it… um.
Kate: O-okay…
(Perhaps… Ring isn’t a scary person at all, unlike my first impression of him.)
Darius: Welcome back, Ring. How did investigating the robin go? 
Ring: Yeah… I’ll report my findings.
Tumblr media
Ring: She… smells so nice that it makes my head spin.
Darius: … Huh?
Tumblr media
Ring: Her chest— not just that, her whole body is completely different from a man's! It’s so soft and fluffy… 
Nika: …
Ring: Also… she possesses the ability to have a tight grip on a person’s heart.
Ring: Being together with her makes my heart race… that must be the kind of curse she has!
Darius: … I see? So she’s a possessor of such a terrifying power. 
Darius: I was thinking of having you continue investigating her for some time, but now it seems that she might be too much for you to handle—
Ring: No, it's dangerous for you and Nica to go near her. She might make your heart race so fast that it stops beating. 
Ring: I want to continue investigating her for a while because it’s too dangerous. 
Darius: Your strong sense of responsibility is praiseworthy, Ring. Alright, I’ll leave it to you. 
Ring: Yeah. I’ll most definitely defeat this ability of hers. 
Ring left the room.
Darius and Nica looked at each other. 
Tumblr media
Nica: … Pfft, AHAHAHAHA! 
Nica: *sigh*... my younger brother is so adorable, isn’t he? I had a hard time holding back my laughter until he left the room.
Nica: By the way… can I share my thoughts on why you let Ring be the one to investigate the robin?
Nica: The robin was the most wary of Ring’s tough attitude, so it’d make things easier for us if she lets her guard down sooner. 
Nica: And if luck is on our side, Ring and the robin will get closer, and… oops, is it not part of the plan to reach that point? 
Tumblr media
Darius: …
Nica: What if Ring ends up falling in love with the robin?
Darius: That won’t happen.
Darius: After all… it’s said that puppy love never works out, you know?

Lover for a day (Azel ep)
Azel (both endings) Azel (epilogue) Kagari
Azel tells her that she needs to stay at home until the effects of this drug wear off. She asks how long… Until morning. She thinks that even until morning in this state seems too long.
She feels very hot. Even the slightest movement causes her pain. So she asks if he can help her in any way… Is she asking for this? What an interesting Belle we have here…
Azel in a roundabout way tells her that this is not the first time this has happened.
Tumblr media
Azel walked over to the water tank and took a sip from the glass. When Belle asked what he was doing, he replied that he was checking for poison. Belle is terrified. If someone had put a drug in her bathtub, they could have done something with the water as well…
Tumblr media
He gave her a glass of water. For a moment, she thought that it was going to be an indirect kiss, but she still drink it. Well… he kissed her in the romantic ending, she should get at least something in the dramatic one…
After that, he tells her to stay away from him. She replies that if she sees him in a difficult situation, she will come to the rescue again, such is her nature. He looks annoyed by her stubbornness, and she feels like she sees another side of him…
Tumblr media
If she didn't listen to him, he would force her… He came closer and hugged her, and at the slightest touch she felt overstimulated. She looked at Azel, and he instantly looked away. She asked why he turned away so often.
Tumblr media
I don't see your blush so you're not embarrassed. What is it then?…
Suddenly, daddy knocked on the door. She wouldn't let him in, saying she was in the middle of changing. And they were talking through the door.
Tumblr media
Belle said he was mistaken, there was no one here, and he left. Azel returned to her and said if he stayed here a little longer, his life would most likely be shortened. Belle thought he looked completely different again. He looks like a mirage, and she likes to find out what lies behind this mirage.
Belle noticed the book he had put on the table and thanked him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the book he brought...
Tumblr media
And... my thoughts...
First of all, we have confirmation. He doesn't believe that he is a real God. Moreover, he has a book to study… perhaps not the only one, but there are many of them.
Secondly, despite the fact that he constantly communicates with people, I got the impression that he has no idea how to do it. Real communication. He doesn't trust people at all, he doesn't really like them. In fact, he called Ennis a monkey. Doesn't that sound familiar? And now I see some similarities between them… Wow… a reference to Sengoku… Unexpected.
Azel actually admits that he feel bad that Belle got into such a mess. He has a conscience. And his insistence on pushing her away can definitely be seen as "it's the best for her." I hate it when guys do that.
It seems that he (like Gil) was a very soft-hearted man a long time ago, and he was stabbed, or betrayed, or was used… I think it probably has to do with his pretence to be a God thing… Someone advised him to do this when he was a child… Why, who and for what purpose? I'm curious...
There was a time when I thought of him as a unique combination of Gil and Silvio. I still think so, but… something doesn't seem quite right. I would like to know what it is.
I guess I like men who are not that easy to grasp. My interest in puzzles has a rather unexpected effect…
And yes, daddy is awesome, there is no one better than him.

Lover for a day (Azel)
Azel (both endings) Azel (epilogue) Kagari
Azel won the lottery and spent not one, but two whole days with her (while the moon was full). Well… he forced her to do it but… It still counts.
The summary turned out to be quite long, so I put it under the spoiler.
The event starts with Belle, now the owner's assistant, shopping at the Tanzanite. She witnessed Azel's communication with believers.
Tumblr media
At the end of the day, she returns to the palace (the owner and she have permission to stay there). And she sees another scene where a flock of women are very insistently offering their services to Azel. He noticed her gaze and… went up to her and announced that she was his favorite.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, drama queen...
And he made her go with him to his room. He asks her to call him by his first name, but she refuses. This only amplify the misunderstanding. She still thinks she can solve it somehow… naive girl.
He said that for helping him (to escape from persistent women), he would give her a divination.
Tumblr media
And what does he think the future holds for her?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not very pleasant… He's a really weird fortune teller.
But immediately after that, he asks for money…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I totally agree with you, girl. And he didn't even try to deny it.
If she can't pay, he offers another option.
Tumblr media
The next day, he demanded that she stay by his side all day. But she couldn't just stand next to him and do nothing, so he lets her to fan him with a huge fan. It's much more fun that way, isn't it? To fan is fun...hah, not bad))
Tumblr media
Some time later, Azel asked her if she was tired. She replied that she did, and her legs hurt. Then he made her sit next to him. Azel explained that in the desert (and they are in the desert), if you feel pain, you need to rest, otherwise you may die.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's so sweet...
In the evening, on the way to his room, they were stopped by some aristocrat named Ennis. He noticed that the living god was interested in a woman for the first time. And he offered to change her into another dress. Azel said that he likes her the way she is now. The man wished them a pleasant dinner, looking meaningfully at Belle. Azel didn't seem very happy about something…
Tumblr media
I love that expression of his...
Normal
The final day of the divination period.
Belle notices that there is a chair for her next to Azel, and some guy with a fan is standing behind them. And now she feels that she is absolutely useless. Azel assures her that this is not true.
Tumblr media
So these persistent women also came to him during the day… It's creepy… Well, I think that's the price of popularity…
A woman came into the room, and even before she started talking, Azel said he couldn't help her. It turned out that this woman has a daughter who is dying of an incurable disease. Azel said he was a God, but he couldn't make miracles. So he advised the women to spend the rest of her daughter's days with her and pray.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fiinished with the fortune-telling, Azel went outside. Belle asked him where he was going, and he replied that he was going home. Belle thinks it must be really hard to deal with all these people in the palace.
But on the way out of the palace they meet a huge crowd.
Tumblr media
Ennis said that since Azel finally had an interest in women, he should go to the harem, where everything was already prepared… Azel wasn't interested and politely declined. But Ennis insisted that it was for the country and so on. Belle thinks that she doesn't want to go to the harem either, and pretends that she feels bad.
Tumblr media
Azel recognized her intentions and picked her up before she fell, and… even played along. She's sick, he needs to take care of her. Ennis tries to object, as if if something happened to God, it would be a disaster. So… Azel kissed her and said that now they both have the same infection, and they were immediately allowed to pass (is it really so scary to get sick where? I thought it was completely normal).
He took her to the city and only then let her go. Belle was furious. She even punched him in the chest.
Tumblr media
That's right, girl, he claimed you. So now you truly belong to him, and there's no getting out of it!
He reminds her of his divination. That he had warned her about it… She doesn't understand how this can be considered a good intention? He replies that they (Ennis and the girls) done it for a good couse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Belle thinks that's not true. It's pretty easy to understand him. But… maybe other people just see what they like to see.
Azel invites her to his house, and she carefully agrees.
Tumblr media
And maybe it wouldn't be so bad to spend a little more time together… She's doomed, but she doesn't know that yet.
Premium
And suddenly daddy appeared.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Azal said that he didn't want to spoil relations with that good merchant, and retreated. Belle was saved from the promise.
Tumblr media
It sounds a bit sad...
The next day, Belle sees Azel again on the street, surrounded by a crowd. She thinks he helps so many people, but no one helps him. So she apologized to the owner, pushed her way through the crowd and literally fell into Azel's arms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Azel tells the people that his prediction for today is over, and they have cleared the way for them.
They went to the throne room. Azel asked what she wanted as a reward. She thinks that he will definitely charge her for any request so don't know that to say. But when he insisted, she asked him what his favorite book was.
Tumblr media
Yeah, he's God and all...
She explained that learning about God's favorite book is very important information. He asked her to call him by his name again, and she did so.
Tumblr media
Well of course, this is a privilege for his favorite!
Some time later. Belle feels strange after taking a bath. Azel knocks on the door and enters. He brought her a book. He noticed her condition and came closer. He immediately noticed that she was drugged with an aphrodisiac, probably something was mixed into the bath.
And this brings us to an obviously passionate epilogue. I don't expect much. This is the second event (after this one) and they not in a relationship yet.
I've used too many screenshots again, so I'll post the epilogue separately. But before that, I wanna say a few words about this event.
I have already read event with Azel, and it was not a surprise for me to see his unique personality. But I was surprised at how observant he was. When talking to other people, he noticed if something was bothering her. At first he noticed that she was tired, and in the romantic ending he noticed her intentions. In fact, they have very good compatibility, they really understand each other well. I noticed something similar in Silvio's route.
I also noticed that Azel doesn't believe he's a real God. He said that "deceiving is my specialty". He even told Belle that she was too easy a victim for other frauds.
At the first event, I thought of him as a violent man. But now I rather think he's just indifferent. He communicates too much with people and stops see them as individuals. It's just a crowd of people who need something from him. So he has no desire to be kind or considered of they feelings. She's different though. Mostly because she doesn't need anything from him, she sees him, real him, a human being, not a God, and doesn't have much respect.
I really like they interactions...

Tumblr media
03 . . . don’t look at anyone but me ˗ˏˋ🪽´ˎ˗
— this translation may not be 100% accurate or may contain creative liberties due to characterization or narrative flow purposes. if you enjoy, please consider reblogging, but don’t repost or claim these as your own!
— cw: darius being darius, aha.
The leader of the organization directly under the command of the German emperor, Vogel. That was Darius Vogel.
He very much resembled that of an angel that had descended on a whim when he had called for me all of a sudden——
Darius: Why, hello there, miss fairytale keeper?
When I opened the door, there sitting on the sofa was Darius, a charming smile on his lips as he greeted me with a sweet voice.
Kate: Hello, Darius. Uhm, what was it that you needed...?
They were guests who had arrived in England as a goodwill ambassador.
(So I need to make sure to retain my manners. That said... Harrison did say that they were ‘lying about something’...)
They had appeared before Crown so abruptly, so there was still a mountain of things I didn’t know about their identity.
(And because I don’t know much about them, it’s better to play it safe than be sorry later.)
Darius: Why don’t we have a chat?
Kate: ...Eh?
Darius: You see, I was thinking of deepening our relationship with everyone,
D: but it would appear that all the members of Crown are busy today. So, that’s why you are here now.
D: Ah, or do you happen to be busy as well? If so——
Kate: Oh, no, it’s alright! I have a day off today.
Darius: Is that so? I’m glad to hear. Then, care to come here, little miss robin?
Kate: I’ll do that. Thank you for having me.
No sooner did I sit on the sofa did Darius bring out a can of what appeared to be biscuits that could fetch a fortune.
Darius: Here, have some. I ended up receiving so many biscuits from the higher ups here in the castle, and I am unable to finish them.
Kate: Umm, so, is it alright for me to take all of this?
Darius: It would delight me if you could accept these, before eating all of these biscuits on my own makes my throat dry.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
D: And Nika had also said, ‘You were the recipient of all these, Dari, so take some responsibility and eat it all.’ Now isn’t that just cruel?
D: Besides——I would imagine eating snacks while chatting like this would help us get along better.
D: Since we are staying here for a while anyway, I figured it would be good for us to break down some ice between us.
Just when I thought he might have been pouting, he tilted his head slightly to the side, letting a carefree smile play on his lips.
(Darius kind of reminds me... of an innocent child.)
His amiability ended up chipping away my already dwindling sense of caution.
(When he said that he wanted to ‘get along better’... it might not have been a lie.)
Kate: Well then, I will partake.
When I opened the can, the sweet aroma of the high-quality wafted through the air.
Excitement coursing through me, I grabbed a single biscuit and took a bite.
Kate: Mm, it’s really good!
Darius: ...Ho-oh?
D: Hehe, is it? I’m glad to see you like it.
With his elbow on the armrest and resting his chin lightly on the palm of his hand, he watched me stuff my cheeks with a bright smile on his face.
Kate: You’re not going to eat any, Darius?
Darius: I...
D: ...am full right now.
(Oh, I see. He did mention before that he couldn’t eat it all.)
(And he must be treated with warm hospitality by others in the castle as well.)
Kate: What kind of foods do you like?
Darius: Let’s see now... jaeger schnitzels, mille feuille glacé...
Kate: Jaeger schnit-what-now...? W-wait, could you repeat that please?
In a panic, I took out a notepad from my pocket, hoping to write it down.
Darius: Hehe, to put it simply, I enjoy foods that seem hard to make, and just as hard to obtain.
(So, foods that take a long time to make and require a lot of skill are delicious to him?)
Kate: Oh, so that’s what you meant! Thank you for telling me.
K: If I find anything that may suit your tastes, I will bring it to you.
Within his words that sounded more like an enchantment, I noted down the parts I could understand.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I can ask Victor for the names of the foods later.)
Darius: .........
Kate: Ah, and what do you like to do?
Darius: Do you mean my hobbies? Hmm... milk puzzles, perhaps.
Kate: Milk puzzles?
Darius: It refers to a puzzle with purely white pieces.
Kate: Eh—? So, there’s no picture or anything drawn on the puzzle?
K: I would imagine without such clues, it would be difficult to piece together such a puzzle...
Darius: I would beg to differ? Although the shapes of the pieces appear similar, they are all different from one another in actuality.
D: I do very much enjoy finding the correct pieces one at a time.
D: Why don’t we do one together next time?
Kate: Of course! I will try my best to not become a burden then.
Darius: Hehe, you truly are an earnest little robin, aren’t you. Ah, also...
As though having just remembered something, he stood up and faced the door.
Darius: I imagine your throat must be dry from having eaten all those biscuits? I will bring some tea.
Kate: Ah, then I...
Darius: Oh, I insist. You can sit down?
When I stood up in a panic, Darius turned around before the door, his lips graced with a smile.
(...Since he is being kind like this, maybe I should simply do as he says?)
Kate: Thank you.
Having thought it over again, I sat back down on the sofa.
I clearly heard the doorknob turn, but——
Darius: Oh?
D: ...The door won’t open. It seems we are locked in here.
Kate: Eh!?
K: Did someone maybe lock the door by mistake... what should we do?
In a panic, I, too, stood up and made a dash for the door.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kate: Ah, that’s right, I can call for hel——
Darius: It seems we ended up locked in here together, yes?
Kate: ——Eh?
When Darius turned around, our eyes met.
Through his platinum blond bangs, I was taken by those honey-colored eyes——
Darius: It is just me and you, together. In this room.
(Wait, wha...?)
This entire time, we had been chatting whilst making eye contact, and yet,
right now, I was hit with a sensation that directly touched a place deep in my chest for the first time.
His eyes seemed to resemble those that scrutinized my heart as it laid on the palm of his hand——
Darius: Ah, it opened.
The moment the door opened, I was freed from that strange sensation,
and I put a hand over my chest in relief.
Kate: ...Thank goodness.
Darius: You say ‘thank goodness,’ but for what, exactly?
D: The fact that the door opened? Or——
Kate: ? Of course, I meant thank goodness the door opened.
K: Since you have come all the way to England,
K: I hope, as much as possible, you don’t feel inconvenienced.
K: If you have a comfortable stay here, I take it you will look forward to your next visit here?
Darius: .........
Kate: I will bring some tea. Ah, and I will request the door be inspected while I am at it.
(Truly, thank goodness that it hadn’t become any big incident. ...That said.)
I wonder why, at that time, I felt as though I were being tested?
Not knowing why I felt that smoldering feeling in my chest, the day passed by.
Nika: Dari, you talked one on one with the Rotkehlchen [1]. So, how was it?
Ring: Rotkehlchen... you’re talking about that girl?
With a smile on his face, Darius looked out the window, which showed the hazy scenery of London beneath the hazy night.
Darius: ——If ‘Crown’ resides in the world of darkness,
D: under normal circumstances, one would be very cautious of them... and they would live every minute doubting others, no?
D: On top of that, this is the ‘fairytale keeper’ we are talking about, whose job is to record their sins? Would it not apply especially to her? ——And yet.
D: The little miss human accepted the snacks I gave her and ate them without a single shadow of doubt.
D: And not only that? When I said that the door wouldn’t open, she held no shred of doubt toward me then as well.
D: Hehe, just remembering it makes me laugh. ——That said, though,
D: it must be because ‘Crown’ holds that human veeryy dear, no?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ring: ...
Nika: .........And so?
Turning back toward the two, Darius’ cherubic smile widened.
Such a gaze...
...possessed the air of a heavenly being, looking down at the humans from a place far up high...
Darius: ——And so it had caught my interest, ever so slightly.

full masterlist 🪽
NOTES:
[1] the apparent pronunciation of this word here in Japanese is [ロビン] (robin), quite literally the “Japanese English” pronunciation of the word “robin.” but in Nika’s story in the same event, when Kate asks what [ロビン] is, he says it’s German for the word “robin”, or [駒鳥] (komadori). Google says the word for this is Rotkehlchen, but if I’m wrong or if there’s a more fitting word, do let me know, as I'm not that familiar with German!

bond level 3: “eating a meal together”
ring is eating and finishes his portion quickly.
kate offers her portion: ring is like "noo you should eat ur portion"
when kate says there r seconds: ring is like "omg ur a genius :D"
"i'll give u my portion": ring is like "eh- ah. is.. it really ok? ..thank u then. i'll eat it all (i.e. with care)"
and then he says he didnt intend to get close to kate bc shes a fairytale keeper and hes part of vogel, but kate had been so kind to him so he became kinda like confused xD
bond level 4: skills
ring is naming flowers. and kate apparently caught him in 4k so he is all flustered like "omg.. dont tell me u.. saw all of that?"
"i didnt see anything": ring is like but theres a grin on ur face.. ur kind of bad at lying.
"..im sorry": ring is like "when you apologize so sincerely like that, i feel bad for being surprised.."
"well, i wonder abt that?": ring is like "d-dont grin like that >,> you have a teasing side to u too, huh.."
but anw he says that "yes i do like flowers :> when im free i try to remember the names of flowers and their meanings"
"why..? well that's.. to make frie- i mean, its nothing."
he asks kate to forget what she saw here and then is like "bye ttyl"
when hes like some distance away from her he whispers to himself that he shouldnt get close to the fairytale keeper.

If nobunaga looks so sparkly imagine how shingen will look.

The Tenka manga is finally coming. I don't know how many years ago it was where they announced they're releasing a novel and a manga, and the novel was out already but there was no news about the manga for like... ever.
Now it's finally going to start serialising.
Nobubu looks so sparkly it's actually kind of funny 😂😂😂

Yikes, Tanazanite...... (from the epilogue of Azel's fake lovers event)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Azel: There are certain people in this country who wish to preserve god's bloodline. They're as moronic as children.
Azel: They wholeheartedly believe that if she were under the effects of an aphrodisiac, I would make a move on a woman. They mistake that for "God's love".
