"The Master Swordsman Smiles Fearlessly" Cain SR Story - Take My Hand

Cain: (There really isn't much info on Kirsche Persche, huh.) (I guess for right now I'll see if anyone around here has anything, and then report back--)

???: What do you think you're doing?! Give me back my wallet!

Cain: !! (That voice came from…that alleyway.) Hey there, friends. Mugging someone in broad daylight, huh?

Riquet: …! Who…?

Grey-haired Man: Huhhh? Keep your nose outta our business and it'll stay atta… …! You fucker, you're Ventisca's katana expert, aren'tcha. Who'da thought I'd see your ugly mug again.

Cain: Again…? Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, I have seen you before. You two started getting rowdy in one of our shops, so I had to smash your faces into the pavement about it.

Scarred Man: D…don't say it like that! Damn, we're gonna pay you back big time for that!

Cain: You two don't learn easily, do you… Well, whatever. I'll take you both on. Hey, you. You should run while you have the chance. Just leave the rest of this mess to me.

Riquet: I--I'm not going to run! I couldn't possibly let them fight you two against one…

Grey-haired Man: Shut the fuck up already! Take this!

Cain: …jeez.

Grey-haired Man: Gwah?!

Riquet: !! He knocked that man so far back with just one swing…!

Cain: I'd rather not get violent in front of a kid, but… I figure smashing your faces against the pavement again might get the message to stick this time. So come on, feel free to come at me however you'd like.

✦✧☾✧✦

Scarred Man: Th…then how's this?! --Ghh?!

Riquet: Attacking from behind is an act of cowardice! Now repent for your sins!

Cain: Rope darts…? Hey, you know how to fight? I totally thought you were some pampered rich kid…

Riquet: I am nothing of the sort! I'm perfectly capable of fighting with these. Please leave this one to me!

Cain: Gotcha! But I wanna talk to you when we're done here, alright? Let's make this quick. Hah!

Riquet: Haah!

✦✧☾✧✦

Those Guys: Tch… R-run for it!

Cain: Whew, we're finally done… Hey, kid, you're not hurt, are you?

Riquet: No, I am not. Thank you very much for coming to my rescue, um…

Cain: My name's Cain. Good to meet you.

Riquet: Cain. My name is Riquet. Um…what are you putting your hand out for?

Cain: What, you don't know? It's for a handshake. Even if it was a brief battle, I still entrusted my back to you. I want to express my respect for you, as well as my gratitude. If you're not opposed, just grab my hand.

Riquet: Wahh, Cain, your hand is so warm…

Cain: Ahaha, I get that a lot. How about you, do you get told that your face looks like a little kid's when you're not fighting?

Riquet: Wah, n-no, I don't! Stop treating me like a kid, you're getting my hair all messy…!

Cain: Sorry, sorry. Here, I'll smooth it back out.

Riquet: Goodness gracious… You were so cool when you came to rescue me, but I see that in truth you're rather unrefined.

Cain: Am I? But, hmm, something about the way you said that… Feels oddly nostalgic for some reason.

Training Episode: Unchanging, Even In One's Dreams

Cain: The dreams you have are always so intense, Master Sage. Could you tell me more about that latest one?

Akira: Sure, I don't mind.

Cain: Let's see, it was the one where Snow was an adult, and me and Mithra were his henchmen.

Akira: Oh, yes. Riquet and I were in a different organization that was in conflict with yours, though…

Cain: By conflict, you mean I had to fight you guys? I dunno how I feel about that…

Akira: Oh, no, it never came to that! But one time you did stop me from running away when I was scared… Seeing you be so threatening gave me chills.

Cain: I can't believe the version of me in your dreams would do something like that to you. Next time you see him, be sure to chew him out for me.

Akira: Ahaha. Now that I'm awake, it just sounds funny. Besides, it wasn't like you were a super scary person in that dream or anything. Once I actually got to talk to you, it was obvious right away what a friendly, kind person you really were.

Cain: What, really?

Akira: Yes! All of the best parts of you didn't change a bit.

Cain: Ahaha. Getting complimented like that is a little embarrassing. But rather than that being kindness, I'd say it was…

Akira: Was what?

Cain: That the me inside your dream wanted to become friends with you, too. Since, hey, that was what I was thinking when you and I first met, Akira.

[Rise and Shine] - Owen SSR Card Story Translation

Ft. Chloe and Akira

Until This Sweet Spell Breaks - Chapter 1

[Castle of Tears]

Chloe: Hm, maybe I should hang the ribbons here… Or would the flowers look better.

Akira: I think that looks great! The light purple of the lavender goes really well with the carpeting.

That day, the Sage’s Wizards were undertaking a mission at the Castle of Tears.

Chloe and I were decorating the hall in preparation for the Ceremony of Blessings and Gratitude when a figure suddenly appeared before us.

Owen: Ugh, what a drag…

Akira: Owen.

Chloe: Oh Owen! Do you wanna join us?

Owen: In doing what?

Chloe: Decorating the castle of course! The ceremony is tomorrow, isn’t it?

Chloe: The Master Sage and I wanted to help out any way we could, even without magic.

Owen: What a waste of time. Why do all this when I could single-handedly bless this castle right now?

Owen: Take a look and see. <<Quare Morito>>

As Owen casually uttered his spell, a heavy gloom fell upon us.

[Screen fills with miasma]

An eerie chill crept up our spines as the world rapidly bleached of color.

Akira: Huh!? All the lavender is withering up…!

Chloe: Y- You’re right! And the carpet is melting into black sludge…

Chloe: Um, Owen? Are you sure this is a blessing!?

Owen: To me it is.

Owen: I wonder how that slumbering beast will feel waking up to this.

Akira: Probably not very happy…

Chloe: In any case, we need to turn things back! <<Suispicibo Voitingoc>>!

Chloe: Oh, nothing changed…

Chloe: But we gotta do something or the walls are next! One more time…

Owen: Ahaha! Do you really think you stand a chance against my magic?

Owen: <<Cur Memini>>

[Miasma disappears]

Akira: Ah…

Chloe: Everything’s back to normal… What a relief.

Owen: It was always normal. The Master Sage aside, you couldn’t see through such a simple illusion?

Chloe: An illusion…? You mean all that withering and sludge stuff was fake?

Akira: I completely fell for it… It all seemed so real.

Owen: Hehe. Of course it did.

Chloe: Owen…

Owen: Aww, did I make you mad? Are you going to cry? Rage over how pathetically weak you are?

Chloe: Not at all! I was actually struck by how amazing you are!

Owen: What.

Chloe: I was totally convinced the castle was crumbling to pieces. It was terrifying!

Chloe: You’re so good at everything, Owen. I bet if you really blessed this castle, you could put that witch to rest for the next few centuries!

Owen: Hmph… As if I’d do something like that. I only care for torment and chaos.

Owen: What good is attending a ceremony when I could be spreading curses and misfortune?

Chloe: Ok, but don’t you ever get in a party mood?

Chloe: Like, you wanna get all dressed up and wear cute accessories for a special occasion?

Until This Sweet Spell Breaks - Chapter 2

Owen: What are you going on about… How annoying.

Akira: (Is Chloe trying to convince Owen to join tomorrow’s ceremony…?)

Akira: (Actually, knowing him, he probably just wants to play dress-up, but this could be my chance…!)

Akira: Yeah, there’s nothing like looking your best! It really makes you want to get out there and put some good in the world.

Chloe: Right!? You already look great in that outfit, but what if we made you look even better?

Owen: …Hmph.

Owen: Fine, you can try your luck, but I doubt you’ll change my mind.

Owen: I’ve nothing better to do anyways.

Akira & Chloe: Hooray!

Chloe: Alrighty then… <<Suispicibo Voitingoc>>!

As Chloe cast his spell, an assortment of accessories appeared out of thin air including golden buttons, ribbons, red and blue brooches, and lace.

Chloe: Okay, what do you think of this ribbon? The color is so chic right, and it’d be just perfect on you.

Akira: Oh, what about these fake nails? Your hands are really pretty after all.

Owen: I like this one. Its color reminds me of festering meat. And that one looks like a melted eyeball.

Crossing his legs, Owen sat down between us in the hall as we fired suggestions at him.

Although he acted bored, yawning and waving his hand at us from time to time, he didn’t seem to mind our attention at all.

Owen: Now I’m feeling a bit hungry. You don’t happen to have any edible accessories, do you?

Chloe: E- Edible…? I- I don’t think so…

Owen: Must I do everything myself? <<Cur Memini>>

As Owen cast his spell, an assortment of buttons, ribbons, and brooches appeared in our hands.

Chloe: These are gorgeous… Not to mention, they smell really good too, like candy.

Owen: These are sweets I made myself using magic.

Owen: If you’re curious, why not take a little bite? I can’t guarantee you’ll leave with your teeth intact though.

Unconsciously, Chloe and I made eye contact.

With the sugary scent of the accessories enticing our senses, the two of us cautiously lifted one and took a bite.

Chloe: …! This is a cookie!

Chloe: It’s so sweet and delicious… Oh, and this ribbon is made of chocolate!

Akira: You’re right! This brooch tastes just like a madeleine…!

Owen: Hehe. Of course they do; I made them after all. If you’re interested, then you’re more than welcome to keep taking some.

Owen: Why not try this corsage and ring too?

Akira: Wow, really?

Owen: Really. If I can get on your good sides, I’ll be able to eat sweets whenever I want.

Chloe: Wow wow wow! This is incredible! I can’t believe you’re sharing these with us…

Chloe: Hey, can I show the others too?

Owen: Be my guest. They’re yours after all.

Chloe: Yippee! I’ll be back in a jiffy then!

And with that, Chloe happily took off.

Then, I felt a hand reach from behind me, grazing my neck.

Until This Sweet Spell Breaks - Chapter 3

Akira: …!?

Lightly touching the base of my throat, Owen plucked the brooch off my collar.

Owen: What’s wrong? Did you think I’d chop your head off?

Akira: Ah um… N- no. You just startled me, that’s all…

Biting into the brooch, Owen slid his gaze towards me.

It was impossible to tell what lay beneath his expression. However, his eyes seemed to hold a twinkle of delight which inadvertently calmed me down.

Akira: (...That’s good. It seems like Owen’s in a better mood now.)

Akira: (Maybe he really was bored earlier and that’s why he went along with us…)

Owen: Don’t get me wrong. This whole ceremony thing is still a pain.

Akira: Huh!? D- Did I say that out loud…?

Owen: You’re like an open book, but it seems you still can’t read me at all.

Owen: How simple-minded do you think I am? Did you really think you could change my mind so easily?

Akira: T- That wasn’t my intention…!

Owen: Is that so? Then why don’t you eat this for me?

Suddenly, Owen thrusted a candy ribbon at me.

Pressing it against my lips, he gave me no chance to protest before forcing it in.

Akira: Mmphf…!

Akira: Mm… It’s delicious… Like candy…

Owen: Haha... Just as I thought. You really don’t get me at all.

Akira: Huh…?

Owen: Did you actually think I’d go through the trouble of making all these sweets to share with you?

Owen: On the contrary, I simply cast a little spell that turns things into sweets for just a moment. I’m sure it’ll break any minute now and all those pretty accessories will revert back in the pits of your stomach.

Owen: I wonder… Will your teeth and tongue be alright?

With a look that seemed to pierce right through me, Owen ripped another button off my clothes.

As he bit into the gold-green metal with a crunch, my face paled.

Akira: Y- You’re joking… right?

Owen: I suppose you’ll find out soon enough. I’ll be fine, but I wonder how a human or a weaker wizard would fare.

Akira: Oh no…! I have to let Chloe know…!

Owen: I’d worry for yourself first and foremost.

His mocking laughter drew me in as he dangled a sweet smelling bracelet before me.

Owen: Take another for the road. I’m sure you’ll like this one too.

Akira: N- no, I’m good! I’m already full after all…!

Owen: Aw, don’t be shy. Until this spell breaks, why don’t you enjoy some sweet, sweet candy with me?

Owen: That way, I’ll get to see the look on your face when your stomach finally bursts.

Remember the Taste - Card Episode

[Courtyard]

Akira: Owen? What are you doing in the courtyard?

Owen: Searching for things to turn into sweets.

Akira: You're... what?

Akira: (Oh right. Owen did turn all those accessories into sweets the other day...)

Owen: Hehe, so you remembered? The two of you looked oh so happy, clamoring on and on about how delicious they were.

Owen: Gnawing away at buttons and brooches without a care in the world.

Akira: The cookies and chocolates were really great...

Akira: Although having to worry about whether or not they'd revert back to metal and thread... not so much.

Owen: That was the best part. Seeing your fear and panic was absolutely hilarious.

Owen: Perhaps I should create a second course, although this time, I'll have them revert back as you're eating them.

Akira: Huh!?

Owen: I wonder what I should use. Bitter herbs? Sour fruit perhaps?

Owen: Maybe I'll mix them up in a batch of sweets just for you and Chloe.

Akira: I- I think we'd be more than happy with a regular old pastry...

[MHYK] 2021 Proposal Lines

2021 Proposal Lines from all 21 wizards! Translation by me and proof-reading and some revisions of the western wizards lines by @amorest-viesse​

✧˖°Central Country°˖✧

Oz: Even time, which feels like an eternity, is finite. Think carefully about whom you want to be with in this limited time you have.

Arthur: “Will you make miso soup for me every day of our life?” …I hear this is a common way of proposing in your world. We don’t have miso soup here, but I think it’s wonderful that such a simple word can become a pledge of eternal love.

Cain: We lose our magic if we break a promise, but there must be some other power you gain by makin’ a promise to someone you love dearly. I hope that I can make a promise like that one day.

Riquet: I love you Master Sage! Um, if I may ask, which of the wizards do you love the most? …Huh, me? Ehehe~ That makes me so happy!

✧˖°Northern Country°˖✧

Snow: If I were to ever get married, I would like to say the line that the previous Sage taught me. Ehem. Sage, would you like a meal? Or maybe a bath? Or maybe… Hohoho~

White: Should we be reborn again, I hope to also spend my next life with you. …Hohoho~ That’s my favourite pick-up line. Did I make you swoon?

Mithra: If you love me, please make sure it lasts for a thousand years.

Owen: How foolish of you to ask a promise of me, just as foolish as love itself.

Bradley: Marriage, huh… I’d probably consider it if it were with the kinda guy I wouldn’t be able to live without. Well, it’s not every day ya find someone who’d love ya like that.

✧˖°Eastern Country°˖✧

Faust: You want me to teach you the most common ways to propose in this world? How should I know? I could teach you the most common curses though.

Shino: A proposal is an important line you only get to say once. I should think about it while I still can.

Heathcliff: To think that someone might propose to me one day... I've no idea when that could be, but I'm getting nervous already.

Nero: It seems like everyone's proposin' left and right today. Marriage ain't really for it a guy like me, but I suppose it wouldn't be so bad to live a peaceful life with the person I love.

✧˖°Western Country°˖✧

Shylock: We Western wizards are known for seeking pleasure and thrills. Thus, if you'd like, I would be glad to entertain you for the rest of your life... Am I joking, you ask? Would you like to find out?

Murr: Hey, Master Sage! Gimme a proposal! Huh? Why? 'Cause I wanna know what you'd say! C'mon!! Please?

Chloe: A proposal!? Ehehe, just thinking about it makes me blush, but I think it's wonderful to be able to tell someone how much you truly care. Someday, if I ever get the chance, I want to be able to confess with everything I've got.

Rustica: Have you ever proposed to someone, Master Sage? What did you tell them? We Western wizards are quite fond of love stories after all. Why don't you confide in me next time?

✧˖°Southern Country°˖✧

Figaro: What kind of confession would you like most, Master Sage? I'll tell you whatever you want to hear.

Rutile: “My eyes are like a lake of stars. I gaze at you with everlasting love” …Fufu, beautiful, isn’t it? That was a verse from when my mother and father met. I hope that, someday, I will find a love like theirs too.

Lennox: If I had a significant other...? Ah, I know. I'd like to protect them, so they'll never have to feel sad.

Mitile: I suppose my brother might get married someday, but I'm sure whoever his partner is, they'll be a wonderful person! Eh, what about me? Well, if I ever meet someone, I'll definitely make sure to propose to them in a cool way!

In Love with this Noche of Imprisonment — Part 1

(Northern Tundra)

[Flashback starts]

Bradley: “You’re pretty damn persistent, Mia.”

Bradley: “Y’here to try and kill me again?”

Mia: “What if I am, huh?”

Mia: “You’re my prey, trash. This’ll be the day you take your last breath.”

Bradley: “Jeez, calm down for a minute, would’ja? Look here. I’ve brought you somethin’ good today.”

Bradley: “Somethin’ you’ll wanna eat almost as much as my mana.”

Mia: “What?”

Bradley: “Lookie here.”

Mia: “…Are you mocking me right now?”

Mia: “You must think I’m an idiot, trying to gift me the mere fruit of some common tree.”

Bradley: “Hey now, don’t jump to conclusions. My chef told me spoils like these are damn near unobtainable.”

Bradley: “It ain’t exactly easy to come by fancy sweets up here in the North, and these don’t taste half bad.”

Bradley: “Y’like sweet things, don’tcha?”

Mia: “…!”

Mia: “…”

Mia: “…I do like them.”

Bradley: “Glad t’hear it. We found it mixed in with some shit we stole a while back, but me n’my men don’t have any use for somethin’ so cutesy.”

Bradley: “If I’m rememberin’ right, it’s name is—”

[Flashback ends]

Mia: “…Bradley…”

Mia: “How long has it been since you were separated from these Northern lands…”

Mia: “…Ugh. Dammit, I’m furious… Just remembering it makes me so mad I want to scream.”

Mia: “…Ahh…”

Mia: “Bradley… If only I could see you again, just once more…”

Mia: “When that time comes, I’ll finally be able to—”

Bradley: “Achoo!”

Mia: “…!”

Bradley: “Tch, got sent flyin’ again… This fuckin’ injury…”

Bradley: “…Huh?”

Bradley: “Wait, ain't that…”

—

(Manor Dining Room)

Akira: “…Not here today either, huh…”

Looking around at everyone eating their breakfast that morning with Sakitty, I let my shoulders slump with a dejected sigh.

I could see Rustica gracefully drinking some tea…

Mithra stuffing his cheeks full of meat…

And even Mitile sipping at some delicious-looking corn soup — but still not the person I was actually looking for.

Mitile: “Are you looking for someone, Master?”

Akira: “Mitile…”

Akira: “To be honest, yes… Nobody’s seen Bradley around lately, and I’m starting to get worried.”

Akira: “It doesn’t seem like he’s out on a mission or anything, so I was hoping to see him show up today…”

Mitile: “Ah, I thought so! I’ve been worrying about it too.”

Mitile: “I’ve been up to his room a few times now, but he clearly hasn’t been there for ages… I was wondering if something might have happened.”

Mitile: “…He gave me some advice on my magic I forgot to thank him for the other day, so I was hoping to see him soon…”

Akira: (Diligently wanting to convey how he feels even though the moment has already passed… That’s really nice of you, Mitile.)

Mitile: “At first I thought maybe he’d sneezed himself somewhere far away again. But there’s no way he could’ve gone that far, right…”

Mitile: “What about you, Mister Rustica? Have you seen Mister Bradley around lately?”

Rustica: “No… I haven’t, regrettably.”

Rustica: “How about you, Mithra? Have you come face to face with Bradley recently?”

Mithra: “Now that you mention it, no, I have not. His presence has been gone from the manor for some time now.”

Akira: “So it’s true, huh…”

Akira: (I know that Bradley’s a powerful wizard, but still… I can’t help worrying when it’s been this long since anyone last heard from him.)

Akira: (There has to be some way we can find him, right…? Maybe I should ask Snow and everyone else for advice.)

Suddenly, a sweet and gentle scent tickled at my nose.

When I lifted my downtrodden gaze, Nero was there offering me a gently-steaming cup.

Nero: “Here, Sage. Why don’tcha drink this hot milk and take a breather for a while, yeah?”

Akira: “Nero…! Thank you…”

Nero: “Don’t mention it.”

Nero: “Uh, y’know… I’m sure that guy you were talking about just now is doing fine. He ain’t the sorta person who kicks the bucket that easily.”

Nero: “Could be worse, yeah? At least this time we can say he probably ain’t boiling to death in a pit of magma, or something like that.”

Nero glanced furtively over at Mithra as he spoke.

Then placed the plate of freshly-cooked meat in his other hand down in front of Mithra.

Mithra: “Oh, has something like that happened before? Whoever you are talking about must be having a hard time too, hm.”

Talking as if it had nothing to do with him, Mithra swiftly devoured his food. Somehow, despite his haphazard way of eating, he still managed to look like he’d be perfect for a picture.

Mitile: “Jeez…! It’s your fault that Mister Bradley is missing, isn’t it, Mister Mithra?”

Mitile: “He probably crashed through one of your doors in space while you were fighting a magical beast or something!”

Rustica: “Is that so? As expected of someone like you, Mithra. Always so magnificent.”

Mithra: “Is that so, indeed. I must say, I do not remember anything of the like occurring recently.”

Akira: (He really has no idea, huh…)

Nero: “…I understand why y’might be worried, and y’don’t have to try and force yourself to put it outta your mind or anything like that, but…”

Nero: “Y’gotta at least have something warm to drink to take the edge off once in a while, or you’ll end up wearing yourself out.”

Mitile: “That’s right… You’re always thinking about other people first, Master Sage.”

Mitile: “And anyway, Mister Bradley has always been fine no matter where he’s sneezed himself off to before. I’m sure he’ll come home unhurt this time too!”

Akira: “Nero… Mitile…”

Akira: “You’re right. This is Bradley we’re talking about, he’s probably doing just fine!”

As I spoke, I could feel some of my worry disappearing. Just as I thought about taking a seat to drink the hot milk I had in my hand—

Rustica: “If you’re looking for a distraction, Master Sage, why don’t you take a seat beside me?”

Smiling, Rustica pulled out the chair next to him. When I sat down there gratefully, his smile widened.

Rustica: “Oh, our kind and gentle Master Sage. I can only wonder how much distress and anxiety you must be carrying within your heart for our friend who has yet to return home.”

Rustica: “I hope this gift will help to clear away some of those clouds within you.”

Rustica: “«Amorest Viesse».”

After Rustica recited his spell, a small box appeared in my hand with a twinkle of light.

Inside the box were some beautiful looking truffle chocolates.

They were a gorgeous dark brown colour, adorned with something like pink topaz sculpted into the shape of a snowflake — or a magnificently blooming six-petalled flower.

Akira: “Wow…! This chocolate is so stylish!”

Mitile: “You’re right! They seem more like gemstones in a treasure chest than chocolate. I’d want to put them on display somewhere just so I could look at them all the time.”

Nero: “Hold on, there ain’t no way…”

Nero: “Issat Benedetta fruit?”

Rustica: “As expected of someone like you, Nero. You must already know all about the ‘fruit from the Tree of Victory’.”

Rustica: “Unfortunately, however, this is nothing more than an imitation — merely chocolate that resembles the fruit’s appearance.”

Rustica: “Please, forgive me for being unable to truly satisfy you.”

Nero: “Nah, it’s my bad for getting all flustered like that.”

Nero: “I was just thinking there’s no way an actual, real-life Benedetta fruit could be here with us right now, y’know?”

Mitile: “…Um, are Benedetta fruits really that rare? I’ve never heard about them before…”

Mitile: “That thing Mister Rustica said about them being from a ‘Tree of Victory’ is kind of cool, too…!”

Mitile: “Does eating the fruit make you stronger, maybe?”

Nero: “Haha… It ain’t anything as cool as that, sorry. It’s just some fruit off a tree.”

Rustica: “The nickname ‘fruit from the Tree of Victory’ comes from the guardian who once protected the Benedetta tree.”

Akira: “Eh? There’s a tree out there lucky enough to have its own guardian?”

Nero: “Yeah. If I’m remembering right, some kinda monster made the area around that tree its territory a long time ago. The sap it gives off is its favourite food.”

Nero: “Even if y’happen to run into some just laying on the ground, y’can’t try picking ‘em up ‘cause you’ll just end up getting attacked.”

Nero: “Besides, the Benedetta tree is a real rare species. It only grows up in Northern Country, so it ain’t exactly easy to find.”

Rustica: “Which is precisely why both the taste of the fruit and the process of acquiring it have so stubbornly remained in the minds of all that have tried.”

Rustica: “And so the nickname gradually spread. The fruit of the Tree of Victory, which only those who have defeated a terrifying monster may eat… You see.”

Mithra: “…Nom. Hmm. It appears to be nothing more than some sickly-sweet confectionary, however.”

Mitile: “Ahh, Mister Mithra! That wasn’t the fruit, it was chocolate…!”

Rustica: “Ahaha. I think it’s about time we all have an after-meal dessert too, hm?”

Rustica: “We’re all waiting eagerly for Bradley to return. So long as we keep our conversation going, the time between now and then will surely fly by.”

Akira: “You’re right…! Thank you, Rustica. I’ll eat this together with the milk Nero gave me.”

Indulging in the warmth of both Rustica and Nero’s care, I carefully picked up one of the glossy, shining chocolates. Right as I was about to bite into it, though…

Figaro (offscreen): “—Therefore, I’m afraid I’ll have to decline.”

Snow (offscreen): “You’re such a meanie, Figgypoo! Ozzy is already out on a subjugation mission, there’s no one else left I can turn to!”

Mitile: “Those voices… Is that Doctor Figaro and Lord Snow?”

Nero: “Sounds like they’re having some kinda spat.”

The two of them were clearly arguing as they walked into the dining room together. It seemed as if Snow had something he needed from Figaro.

Akira: “Good morning, you two. Is something going on?”

Snow: “Ah, Sage. You, at least, will listen to me, yes?”

Snow held a piece of paper out towards me.

Snow: “‘Tis a subjugation request. According to this, there is a monster rampaging among the snowfields further north than the City of Ice.”

Snow: “Its appearance is that of a gigantic snake, and its power is of considerable concern — or so I have heard. As such, the plan was for us Northern wizards to deal with the matter.”

Snow: “But, alas, I have seen neither hide nor hair from Bradley as of late. And so I am asking Figaro to fill in for him in his absence.”

Mithra: “So that is how it is, hm. Well, good luck with all of that, substitute Bradley.”

Figaro: “Hold on a sec, I haven’t agreed to anything yet — and you’ll be the key player there, Mithra, not me.”

Mitile: “Um… But, even without Mister Bradley there, Mister Mithra and Mister Owen are both incredibly strong, right?”

Mitile: “Even a horrible monster like that is no match for them combined.”

Mitile: “So why bring Doctor Figaro along at all? …He’s only a Southern wizard, isn’t he?”

Snow: “Ah, well, both Mithy and Wenny are terribly naughty children, you see.”

Snow: “If either of them were to realise someone who should be working isn’t, they would claim the circumstances to be unfair and vanish on us as well…”

Snow: “Even if we could get them to stay, ‘twould only be a matter of time until they decide to waste their energy fighting each other instead, neglecting the monster they were supposed to be dealing with in the first place. The fallout of such an event would almost certainly impact the City of Ice, too.”

Snow: “‘Tis situations such as those where having your dear Doctor around would be wonderfully beneficial to us, considering his social aptitude. Simply speaking: we want to take it easy!”

Figaro: “…So that’s how I ended up getting asked to help out, kind of. You’re really putting poor Doctor Figaro on the spot like this.”

Mithra: “You know, I suddenly find myself feeling as if I do not particularly want to go after all.”

Mitile: “I–I see…? So in other words, um… You’ll be supporting Misters Snow and White?”

Snow: “Yes, exactly! Normally we rely on dear Braddykins for that sort of thing, as he’s usually rather good at it.”

Snow: “Good grief. Where in the world could that boy have possibly disappeared off to for so long? I shall have Oz search for him when he returns, I think.”

At that moment, a sound suddenly reverberated through the dining room.

Rustica: “Oh? It sounds as though there’s someone knocking on the windowpane.”

Mitile: “Did something hit the window, maybe…? …I’ll go take a look.”

Mitile: “...This is…”

When Mitile turned around, what he had in his hand was a small cork, like the kind used to seal bottles of alcohol.

Murr’s 4th Anniversary SSR

Card Story: “I Wanna Know About You from Another World”

Part 1 ✦

[Sage’s Room - Day]

Akira: Today’s lunch was delicious too…!

It's a normal free day.  Amidst the soft sunlight streaming in through the window, satisfied after a good lunch, my consciousness– as I sit in the chair– slowly declines.

Murr: Master Sage-!

Akira: M-Murr!? Since when did you enter the room……?

Murr: I wonder when! More importantly, Master Sage!! Today’s your day off, isn't it? C’mon play with me!

Akira: Ahahah, Okay okay. What should we do for fun today?

Murr: A pretend interview~! I wanna do something like what Master Sage did to me before!

Akira: (...Is he talking about when I started Sage’s Journal?)

So that the next Sage and future wizards could build a better relationship, I thought of interviewing them and writing their stories down in a journal. 

What nostalgic times to remember.

Murr: Today you're the one being interviewed Master Sage!

Akira: ……! Alright. (I wonder what type of questions he’ll ask me…)

Murr: Okay, let’s get started! Your name is?

Akira: Akira.

Murr: How you feeling today?

Akira: I’m feeling good. Ah- although, I guess I was a little sleepy right before you arrived.

Murr: What's some stuff you like?

Akira: Hmmm,,, well… It has to be cats.

Murr: Cats! I love’em too!!

Akira: (Back then, I was the one interviewing everyone like this. It’s kinda refreshing, to be the one being interviewed.)

Murr: Next up… the world where the Master Sage lived!! I wanna know about smartphones and other interesting things like that~! 

Akira: Smartphones…… Come to think of it, earlier you said that you got halfway there by mimicking it with a magical science device. Did you end up making it after that?

Murr: Nah, I got bored! But~ if I hear about exciting things from your world, maybe my motivation will come back. Start spilling!

I look back at the eyes sparkling full with curiosity, and think back to my original world.

Akira: Hmmm… let’s see. Speaking of things that don’t exist in this world are phones, televisions, cameras… VR.

Murr: VR?

Akira: Ummmmm, how to explain it… It’s a device that when used, you can experience the scenery of a completely different place, or feel like you’re right in front of an animal that is not supposed to be there.

Murr: *nod nod*

Akira: When I first arrived in this world, I originally thought it was VR. Suddenly finding myself surrounded by people I didn’t know and in a landscape I had never seen before.

Murr: I see! And this VR can show you a variety of sceneries and things without relying on the user’s memory. As I thought! Stuff in the Master Sage’s world is real interesting!! Even though magic doesn’t exist, they create things that are like magic!

Now then, what should my next question be…? There’s still your hobbies, lifestyle, sexual preferences and-...

Akira: (W-What sort of information are you looking for!?) P-Please be gentle with me…!

Part 2 ✦

A while after our interview started, Murr said he remembered something and left the room abruptly.

Akira: Just like a storm… (I wonder what the errand was about? Or rather, will he return after finishing said errand??)

I think about this and that, but the sleepiness I had forgotten comes back and interrupts my thoughts suddenly.

Akira: *yawwwn* …I think I’ll take a 5 minute nap.

After closing the door, I relaxed back down in my chair.

Murr: —I’m back! …Huh?

Akira: Zzzz Zzzz

[Manor Hallway]

*knock knock*

Mitile: Ah, Master Sag-eh?!

Riquet: Murr…?

Murr: Heyo~! Whatcha up to you two?

Mitile: Well, the two of us baked cookies and we thought we would share some with the Master Sage. Are they inside?

Murr: They are. But now’s no good! Master Sage is busy with some important work, so it's best to save them for later!

Riquet: I heard today they had the day off… but it’s not right to disturb them if they’re working.

Mitile: Then, we’ll come back after the work is finished.

*walks away*

Murr: Hmm~

Chloe: Ah-! Murr! Thank you again for being my model earlier!

Murr: No problem!

Chloe: Hey, is the Master Sage in the room right now? I also made clothes for them and I’d like them to take a look at it.

Murr: Now’s no good! Cause I’m hoarding my dear Sage’s time all for myself right now!

Chloe: E-Ehhh!? I-Is that so?? I supposed I’ll come back later then… Murr… Just to be on the same page, you won’t play any extreme pranks on the Master Sage, right…?

Murr: What madecha think that?

Chloe: Well, because it’s written all over your face!! That look of “I’ve found a nice toy!”

Murr: Ahahaha! Okay, I’ll just keep one of Master Sage’s hair for research purposes then!

[Sunset Lake Meadow]

Akira: …Nghh

When I opened my eyes, a lake at dusk laid before me. Sparkles glittered on the lake's surface, as the setting sun fell on its shores. 

Akira: …How pretty… …W-Wait!? Where is this!?!? I should have fallen asleep in my room….

*meow*

Akira: A purple cat…?

Attracted by the cry, I looked down at my feet. There lay a strange cat with a bizarre coat. When our eyes met, he jumped onto my lap.

Akira: T-Too cute~!!! I wonder if it’s a magical creature that looks like a cat??

*meow*

Gently, I stroke the cat’s head whilst keeping an eye on it. Now that I’m suddenly thrown into a place I don’t know, I can’t help but want to rely on this small creature.

Akira: Hey, do you know where we are?

???: I do know!

Akira: (Wait– this voice is…?)

???: <<Eanul Rambul>>!

Part 3 ✦

[Sage’s Room - Sunset]

Akira: This is… my room?

Murr: That’s right!

Akira: Murr!?

When I sat up on the bed, Murr was laughing right in front of me. It brought back a memory when Murr observed my sleeping face just like this moment.

Akira: (....Hold on? Didn’t I fall asleep in the chair today??) Ummmm… What is it?

Murr: Thanks for playing! That VR thing? A scenery of a completely different place and animals that aren’t supposed to be there right in front of you!

Akira: Ahhhh! So that was meant to recreate VR! (But unlike VR in my world, here it can easily be done without using any machine… magic truly is marvellous.)

Murr: How was it? Did ya sleep well?

Akira: Yeah. I only intended to nap for 5 minutes… but I ended up falling asleep.

Murr: It's fine, isn't it~? On your day’s off, it’s your job to rest. Congratulations on your hard work!!

While saying this, Murr patted the bed.

Akira: (Maybe it was Murr who moved me to the bed…?) Hmm? Come to think of it, when did you come back to my room? Your errand-...

Murr: Ended in a flash!

Akira: So, you came back soon after that. Sorry, I didn’t notice… Wasn't it boring?

Murr: Not one bit! I was able to observe the sleeping Sage, after all.

Akira: By observing, you mean…

Murr: How fast you breathe when you sleep. How often you toss and turn. The interval between your sleep talking and also-...

Akira: (T-There’s more!?) M-Murr, it’s okay to stop there…! I understand what you mean by observing!! Ummmm,,, just to confirm but– you haven’t done anything else other than observing, right?

Murr: ………Yeah~!

Akira: (That… felt like a delayed response. And for a moment it felt like he was looking elsewhere too…)

For just a moment, I reached out to touch the top of my head; where I felt someone’s eyes on me.

Murr: I knew it! Master Sage you’re really interesting!! I love interesting things!

With a booming voice, Murr closes one eye. Shylock's words suddenly came to mind brought by such sights.

Akira: (“Don’t look with both eyes, look with one eye…” You said it was a sign that you were missing something.) (But that anecdote seems to be from before Murr’s soul was shattered, and the current one just happens to be a wink…right?)

Murr: Ah~! Today was lots of fun! From VR to the Master Sage’s observations! Let’s play again next time too, Master Sage!

I don’t know if that was an honest wink or not… However, I was struck by the sight of Murr smiling happily.

Card Episode: “Murr and the Door of Bygone Days”

[Murr’s Room]

Akira: It seems like a door that lets you see into the past has appeared on the shores of Borda Isle. Speaking of the past– when I had just arrived to this world– whenever I felt anxious I recalled a certain memory that made me feel at ease.

Murr: Oh~! What sorta memory?

Akira: It’s a scene from my childhood where an adult, who’s someone I trust, read a book to me.

Murr: And that memory protected the Master Sage from anxieties!

Akira: Yeah. Murr, do you have any memories that could be used for protection too? A memory that would make you feel safe.

Murr: Hmmm~ What could it be~? That's a very difficult question!

Akira: Difficult… how so?

Murr: Philosophically so!

Akira: Huh… It makes me kinda happy hearing that, coming from such a distinguished philosopher. But, what makes it philosophical?

Murr: I tried looking for a memory that’d make me feel safe, but I’m not one that really seeks safety!

Akira: Ah- that would be the case!

Murr: Isn’t it!

Akira: Why is it so?

Murr: I wonder why~! This may be the entry to an entire new truth! Like all living things, particularly so the remnant of one, isn’t it inevitable that we should seek safety?

Akira: I concur. Personally, I am always looking for safety.

Murr: Rightly so! And yet, why– why is it that I place safety second? Is it cause I loathe boredom? Well, it might just be a matter of probability! If there were only individuals who sought safety, the species as a whole would become extinct in a crisis. In order to avoid the extinction of a species, we need individuals with different characteristics who avoid the same behavioural pattern as the rest. After all, there are spirits, wizards and humans with different temperaments in five distinct lands. The meaning of such complexity could be…

Akira: (Somehow, this took a very serious turn) Ummmm… Hey Murr, can I have a word in?

Murr: What is it?

Akira: If you don’t mind, could you please answer my question in a heartfelt and warm manner?

Murr: Okay~!

Akira: Thank you very much! Let me ask once again, what is a memory that brings you peace of mind and think of when you’re feeling anxious?

Murr: That’d be~! The faces of people who chased their dreams and became stars!

Akira: Stars… (Ah-... He must be talking about people who passed away…) (Murr was a researcher after all, so he must have known many friends and scholars.)

Murr: I’ve forgotten most of them! But– every now and then they pop back up! When I do remember, I always think there’s no time to waste. They don’t have time anymore, so that’s why… Time is here and now! And that means not a single drop can be wasted!!

落魄の血に鉄の真意を Logstory 2

Feat. Bradley, Cain, and Lennox (reluctantly) going full chuuni

Bradley: Achoo! 

Bradley: Ugh. Finally back at the Sage’s Manor. Now I can just hop on my broom-

Cain: –Gladius Procella–!

Lennox:  –Forsiteo Mieuva–！

Bradley: Watch it! Gotta say it’s not every day I see the two of ya tryin’ to off each other. 

Cain: Bradley!! What are you doing here? 

Cain: Wait, no, back up!! We ain’t killin’ each other!! 

Lennox: I invited Cain to train with me. I thought of having a special session to practice fighting an opponent with magic under the cover of darkness. 

Lennox: We all experienced the raid that night, didn’t we? And I cannot say whether or not such a thing will happen again. Furthermore…

Cain: I was tellin’ Lennox about how we might have to fight “vampires”. 

Bradley: Huh? Vampires? 

Cain: I heard about it from the previous Sage. Far as I could tell, in his world, they were somethin’ like demons. 

Cain: They’re not good with sunlight, and attack humans in  the dark. And then, they suck the human’s blood and bleed them dry. That’s what he told me. 

Lennox: I’d never thought such terrible monsters existed in the Sage’s world…..

Lennox: That gentleman had survived until now, so surely it was a habit to be aware of such dangerous opponents and how to deal with them. Most definitely he had plans set up to ensure his survival. 

Cain: We thought to follow in his footsteps with that. 

Cain: Because…no matter what happens, I want to be able to protect everyone; the Sage as well. 

Bradley: Huh, now I gotcha. That’s the reason for this then. 

Bradley: …So, what about this??  –Adnopotensum–! 

Lennox: …Ngh.?! 

Cain:  …..Gk-! 

Cain: Bradley-why the hell are you attackin’ outta the blue…

Bradley: …..I ain’t Bradley no more. 

Cain + Lennox:  Huh? 

Bradley: Now I am…..that’s right, I’m “The Deadeye of Crimson Blood!”  That’s good enough, right? 

Bradley: Listen up, losers! This is a raid! Your enemy is at yer doorstep-if you don’t stop me here, I’m gonna paint the walls of the Manor red with blood! 

Lennox: …I understand-it is much appreciated. Does this mean you shall be joining us in our training? 

Cain: If you’re willin’ to play the role of villain, then I think it’ll all be worth it. That being the case….

Cain: Then I, “The Knight of Burning Sunlight”, shall be your opponent! 

Lennox: That’s…wait. 

Lennox: Cain, just now you…

Cain: Haha, my bad…He called himself the whole "Deadeye of Crimson Blood” thing! And it was so cool I just wanted to do it too. 

Bradley: Well then, shepherd man. You gonna play along? Give yerself a name? 

Lennox: …..I……………..

Lennox: As the. “Strong-Man Shepherd”. I will intercept you, "Deadeye of Crimson Blood". 

Cain: Yeah! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!  

Bradley: Heh, not bad, not bad. 

Lennox: Y-you think so? I feel like it was far more of a clumsy self-introduction than either of yours…

Cain: …Well, that’s that. Anyway, from now on we’re doin’ this for real-no more pullin’ our punches.  

Cain: You might be a difficult opponent but…the two of us have weathered many battlefields.

Cain: Let’s go, "Deadeye of Crimson Blood"! I will stop you, no matter the cost!! 

Bradley: Haha-gimme everythin' you got!!

The True Meaning of Iron in the Blood of the Fallen: 

Part 3: 

(Location: Central Kingdom, Magic Manor, Common Room, Night Time)

Faust: So you’re already familiar with it, Sage. Shino also seems to have done a great job preparing. 

At that time, the Valcy had spread its roots underneath the entire city, and was on the verge of annihilating it. 

The person who stopped that was the Bernard Family’s head. 

Mitile: Then, was he a wizard? 

Shino: No, he was a human. 

Mitile and Akira: What?! 

Akira: Is it possible for humans to hunt monsters…? 

Shino: Who knows. But that’s what the book says, anyways. 

Arthur: The history books I have studied say the same. 

I’d thought perhaps he had aquired the help of a Wizard or used some other means to gain an advantage, but there are no records of such events. 

Faust: Not all history is recorded accurately: especially during times of chaos. 

Humans cannot wield magic. Even if they chant words that appeal to the spirits, they will not respond. 

In the end those words are just spells. Facing fierce magical beasts alone is beyond human capacity. 

Akira: I see… has the story changed over time, then? 

Shino: It’s a pretty common legend anyways. Actually it looks like he didn’t actually defeat the beast, just sealed it away. 

This is what they used to cast it.

Shino traced the pages of the book in his hands. 

In the page, there was a picture of a large object shaped like spread wings on a single solemn alter. 

Mitile: is this where the Valcy is sealed?

Shino: Yeah. This is “The Medal of Sincerity”. The jewel in the middle is where the Vlacy is sealed. 

It has a complicated structure with several layers of barriers and seals to stop it from breaking. 

Apparently the duty of gaurding it has been passed down through generations of Bernard Family Heads. 

Shino spoke quietly, like a child talking about their heroes. 

He looked up at Faust, still standing behind him, with eyes full of anticipation. 

Shino: Hey, Faust. If I ask that guy, do you think I can see the real thing? 

Faust: That guy…? You mean the boy you caught earlier? 

Mitile: The person who stole Murr’s wallet…? 

I wouldn’t go out of my way to meet someone who does bad things like that. 

Shino: I don’t think so. 

Mitile: Why?

Shino: In order to survive, there are times when you can’t keep pretending. I was the same way. 

Mitile was stunned speechless. 

Shino’s back was straight and his eyes were clear. The pride of having survived all alone was reflected in his stance. 

Shino: My dirty past won’t ever change, but I’m not the same person I was back then. 

I want to see how impressive the medals handed down through the Bernard family are. 

Someday, I want one that’s even cooler than all of them. 

Mitile: Shino, I… 

Shino: If you’re going to apologize, I won’t listen. You and I just have different ways of living. 

Though his words sounded like they were pushing others away, they were clear, as if he was making a joke. 

The air surrounding the two boys relaxed. The image of a boy in torn clothes standing among them came to mind. 

Akira and Arthur: About that boy… ah. 

Akira: I apologize for speaking over you. You were going to say something?

Arthur: Yes… he seemed quite concerned about the incidents in that city. 

Faust: The serial attacks? Didn’t he mention that several incidents happened in quick succession? 

Arthur: Yes. Somehow though… from the way he spoke, I think he might know something more about those incidents. 

Shino: …? Does that mean he’s involved? 

Arthur: It is not that I wish to doubt him, but he was the one who warned us not to stay in the city for fear of more casualties. 

As a member of an esteemed family, it is possible he said this out of concern for the public good, but… as the victim in the situation, his phrasing struck me as odd. 

Akira: That’s right… 

Mitile: …In the first place, why is someone like him living like that? 

If he was born to a family like that, shouldn’t he have a mansion and be admired by everyone…? 

Shylock: It isn’t particularly uncommon for noble families to fall. 

Just as there is no flower that does not wither, so too does glory never last. 

Murr: Shylock is eloquent as always! 

Akira: Shylock! And Murr too. 

Shino: You guys sure like appearing out of nowhere. 

Shylock: Fufu, I enjoy spending my time as I please. 

Rather, it seems this is the perfect place to enjoy dessert after dinner. 

Would you like some tea to go along with your sweets? 

Murr: I want a drink! I’ve been upside down for so long I’m starting to get thirsty! 

Shylock: have you tried turning around and pointing your head towards the ceiling? It’s likely because of the blood rushing to your head. 

And Murr, you are the one offering the tea. We came here to apologize for the commotion the other day. 

Murr: That’s right! Let’s have fun giving it out and have fun drinking it too! 

Murr waved his finger and the tea poured out into several cups. 

Faust: You’re not just here to apologize, Shylock. You were worried about the boy too, weren’t you? 

Shylock: My, perceptive aren’t you? 

The Bennet family is one family whose status slowly declined but… in that boy’s case, it seems something more dramatic has occurred. 

When Shylock raised his hand up, a delicate, colorful plate appeared. 

On top of it, colorful sablés appeared, overlapping with one another. He placed it on the table and sat down on the sofa. 

Shylock: When life changes, people usually adjust in stages. 

But… that boy didn’t seem used to his lifestyle at all. 

People rarely lose everything overnight. 

Murr: Also, we heard your story! The monster House Bernard sealed was the Valcy, right? 

That’s an extremely high-level monster, you know. You’d need a ton of spirit* to fight off something like that! 

Shino: Spirit? 

Faust: The key is a strong will. You’ll need it in most situations.

Arthur and Mitile: Spirit…

Akira: Wow, it suddenly became a matter of willpower. 

Faust: It makes sense. If one firmly believes that they are a servant of justice who must not give in to evil… 

By utilizing the correct strategies and affirming his will, he manipulated both his body and his mind to confront and overcome the Valcy. 

Shino: Cool. Faust, say that one more time, I wanna try too. 

Faust: You never listen seriously. I’m serious: if you fall prey to a Valcy without the right convictions, you’ll lose both your mind and your body. 

When that happens, you’ll become a blood-feeding monster, just like it. 

Akira: Ah…

My voice raises in horror at his words.

Murr, who was lounging in the air beside me, raised his index finger, and poked my temple. 

Murr: Valcy are famous for luring humans out with sweet scents and mysterious sounds before pouncing and sucking their blood. 

When that happens, the Valcy’s poison enters the body and the human is overcome with the urge to drink blood. 

Akira: People… drink other’s blood? 

Murr: Yep! It’s only a matter of time before the  extremely abnormal drives the victim mad. 

When that happens, the Valcy calls the victim back to its cocoon and sucks all their blood. That’s how it grows. 

Mitile: It keeps getting creepier and creepier… 

Shino: What a freaky story, it must’ve been some monster. 

Arthur: Even if it is a magical beast, the idea of attacking people and changing their very being… 

Akira: (To have your blood feasted on and even be cursed to become just like the monster that attacked you… the Valcy really are like the legendary Vampires of my world…) 

Shylock: After securing some history books, it became clear that is exactly the reason why the achievements of the Bernard Family’s former head are so glorious. 

For a legendary creature like the Valcy… to remain sealed to this day is no small feat. 

Murr: But no sealing technique can last forever. Maybe the secret passed down through the family heads is the key to maintaining it? 

Shino: A secret technique… like what? 

Murr: I dunno! But there are a lot of weird things about that town: The Valcy, the street attacks, and the wallet got fuller too! 

Everyone: …What?

Murr: When I got my wallet back from the boy, there was a little more inside! 

I wonder if his funds got mixed with mine when it dropped on the road? 

Akira: That’s terrible… we should go find him and give it back. 

Shylock: This must be causing him some trouble. 

Shino: That’s fine with me, I wanted to go back and get lemon pie anyways. 

Let’s ask him to show us his medals too, if you’re curious maybe you can even check on the seal while where there.

Arthur: I’d also like to accompany everyone. 

I’d love to hear more about him of course, but I’d also like to ask about the incidents. 

Murr: Yay~! We’re all going out again! 

Mitile: U-um… is it alright if I go too? 

Shino: Why? Do you also want lemon pie? 

Mitile: Well, there’s that too but… if his situation is like everyone says it is, like Shino’s was, then he may not be such a bad person right? 

I judged him too fast without knowing anything, but… if there’s something I can do to help him, then I’d like to do that! 

Shino: …Is that so? Then you come too. 

Mitile: Thank you! 

Arthur: Master Sage, I look forward to working with you! 

Akira: I am as well! It’s better to go as soon as we can so… 

Faust: Wait. 

Shino: What? 

Faust: If you’re planning on visiting that town and the boy’s mansion, you’ll need to prepare. 

Can you give me some time? 

Translator’s note: 

*気概 translates to will or fighting spirit, not to be confused with the magical spirits that allow wizards to cast magic.

[Your Warm Hand in Mine] - Chloe SR Card Story Translation

Ft. Figaro (Akira and Western wizards mention in card episode)

A Line for the Lady - Chapter 1

[Weeping Princess’ Castle]

Chloe: May I have your hand, my lady?

Chloe: …No, that’s not right. Maybe it needs to be more gallant.

Chloe: To ensure you’re not swept away by someone else, may I have your hand, my lady?

Figaro: Ahaha, how forward of you, but by all means.

Chloe: Whoa! Where did you come from?

Figaro: Oops, sorry for the scare. You just seemed so serious, I thought it might help to have a partner.

Figaro: Although, it doesn’t look like things are going too well right now.

Chloe: Ahaha… You got me there.

Chloe: Truth be told, I just can’t get the hang of this escorting thing. No matter how much I practice, I always get nervous and totally freak out.

Figaro: Really? I never would’ve guessed from the number of times I’ve seen you invite the Master Sage out. 

Chloe: It’s totally different with them though!

Chloe: We’re basically BFFs, so if I goof up, we can just laugh it off!

Chloe: I can’t exactly do that during a ceremony with strangers though… If I leave a bad first impression, it’s totally over for me!

Figaro: Hmm, I see the dilemma now. Well then, what if you did this?

Figaro: Don’t put too much pressure on yourself and try treating it like a game.

Figaro: You Western wizards are always doing that kind of stuff right?

Chloe: Think of it like a game? You know, that might just work!

Chloe: Oh, but what should the setting be? A ball? A birthday party? A theatrical production?

Chloe: What do you think, Figaro?

A Line for the Lady - Chapter 2

Figaro: Let me think…

Figaro: What if… you were the heir of a noble family meeting your betrothed for the first time, and you needed to take her out on a very special date?

Chloe: Me? An aristocrat?

Figaro: If the situation is too difficult to imagine, I could always turn into your beautiful betrothed for practice sake.

Chloe: Eh!? You? As a noblewoman!?

Chloe: As much as I’d like to see that… I wanna give it a shot on my own first.

Figaro: Ahaha, fine by me.

Chloe: Alrighty then, here I go. …Ahem.

Chloe: …It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, my fair lady. I have been eagerly awaiting this day. 

Chloe: Dressed in dusky blue with luminous diamonds about your neck, you’re the very vision of a star, descending from the heavens to grace us with your ethereal presence…

Chloe: Now, may I have your hand, my lady?

Figaro: …

Chloe: So? How did I do?

Figaro: It was even better than I’d expected. You really are Rustica’s apprentice.

Figaro: I think you’d charm just about anyone like that.

Chloe: Really?

Figaro: Really. Every word was elegantly and beautifully delivered.

Figaro: Although, it was funny to hear you compliment your partner’s dress and accessories without them actually being there. I’m sure no one but you could’ve come up with a line like that.

Chloe: Ehehe, I’m glad to hear it! I think I can totally take on the real thing now.

Chloe: Thanks so much for helping me out, Figaro!

We Gotta Go All Out! - Card Episode

[Manor Living Room]

Chloe: This should go… here. And the fabric should be gathered here…

Akira: Good afternoon, Chloe. Is that a new dress design?

Chloe: Oh, Master Sage! Great timing!

Chloe: This is super random, but what kinda dress do you think would look good on Rustica!?

Akira: This is for Rustica, you say?

Akira: Um, I feel like he could make anything work, but maybe… He’d like one with a bluebird embroidered on it.

Chloe: You think so? Alright then, I’ll keep that in mind.

Akira: Did Rustica request this?

Chloe: Ehehe, these outfits are actually for a special class session.

Chloe: When I told the other Westerners about how nervous I was during the mission, they offered to give me a special lesson on escorting…

Chloe: We’re using transformational magic so I can have practice with both men and women!

Akira: Oh I see now! That sounds like a lot of fun.

Chloe: Right? Figaro also gave me some really good advice during the mission.

Chloe: Which is why he’ll be there too as a special guest instructor!

Akira: (A Western wizard lesson with Figaro in attendance… I’m really curious now…)

Akira: …Hey, do you think there’s room for one more? I want to see how your lesson goes.

Chloe: Of course there is! In fact, you should join us as a participant!

Chloe: I’ll make sure to design you the most beautiful dress and dashing suit ever!

A HARMLESS QUESTION - CHAPTER 1

Murr: *nom nom* This meat is so wonderfully tender, I might not need my teeth to chew it!

Snow: The seafood terrine is also exquisite—Mia has great taste.

Murr: Speaking of Mia’s tastes, remember that cage? Quite the show of her ardency, wasn’t it!

”I can't stand to see him taken away from me. He will be mine,” [must be what went through her mind.] If not straightforward to the point of naivety, what else could best describe how she acted, guided by such irrational feelings?

While that might not be her love in its entirety, I’ll grant that the cage constitutes one manifestation of it.

Snow: Her love was too egoistic than I’d prefer. Though I must say, the desire to lock up your loved one somewhere beyond anyone’s reach...is no stranger to me.

Murr: Wow! Did I really hear that from you? Because that sounded more like something White would say.

Snow: What?

Murr: I mean, wasn’t it White who dissuaded you from leaping out into the world in an attempt to confine you both in your own little sphere?

Snow: …Is now really the time to discuss such a sore and delicate topic? Much less with you, the root of it all?

Murr: What do you mean? The opportunity has presented itself, hasn’t it? If not now, when else can we? Tonight? Tomorrow? In a hundred year’s time?

Snow: Goodness… Enough. Having this conversation with you will spoil the feast Mia took the time to prepare.

A HARMLESS QUESTION - CHAPTER 2

Murr: Sooo, are we done talking here?

Snow: Why, yes. I did not sit here to kill you, after all.

Murr: Oh, I see. And here I thought you cut the conversation short because it became unfavorable for you!

Snow: …

Murr: That, or talking to me reminded you of the gravest mistake of your life. Or perhaps, despite committing such tragedy, you still…

Snow: …The nerve of this deranged whippersnapper to presume on my leniency. Don’t you dare push your luck.

Today is the day I read you your last rites. Have you bid goodbye to your beloved moon?

Murr: What?! Not even close~! ≪Eanul Rambul>>

Snow: ! Chocolates? In a dish styled like stained glass… Quite elegant, I must say…

Murr: You love a good stained glass piece, right? Treating yourself to something sweet while admiring what you love could help cancel out the exasperation you feel! Help yourself! Bon appétit!!

Snow: ...Goodness. Why, you are proving quite the… One day, I’ll find myself regretting, yet again, that I didn’t kill you when I had the chance.

Murr: Is that so? Then I better prepare heaps of chocolates for when the time comes!

The world is brimming with all things riveting, dazzling, and frightening I have yet to encounter–I’ve got better things to do with my life than die!

AN EXCITING GAME OF TAG?

Murr: Aaaah! Book it!!

Akira: Murr!? What’s going on? How come you’re darting around like that?

Murr: I’m playing tag with Snow!

Akira: You and Snow? That’s not something you ever see. (Aww, who knew they were close…)

…... Hm? Er, is it just me…or do I feel an oddly chilling breeze coming from that direction…

Murr: That’s Snow inching closer as we speak! He’s gonna catch me!

Akira: You mean, Snow is the source of this cold wave? This is turning out of hand—like dead of winter levels of cold…!

Murr: Snow fell silent in the middle of our debate about solitude. I took that as a sign we were done and got up from my seat. But then he started chasing after me! And so began our game of tag!

Akira: Um, what? Seems to me like he blew his top and he’s chasing you for real…! If I recall correctly, didn’t something similar happen at Miss Mia’s castle?!

Murr & Akira: !?

Akira: T-The wall just exploded and collapsed…

Murr: Hahaha! Whoops! He caught up to me!

Akira: Now is not the time to be so easy-going…! Oh no! He came in through the wall that caved in!

Please, Snow, I need you to calm down! I totally understand how you feel, but kindly put away your magic ite– NOOO!!
