Mini-Story – Journey in Mutual Understanding

Part 1 – Sudden Change

Sajya Fjord

Zuo Ran: …

MC: Lawyer Zuo? Why are you here? Didn’t you go to discuss the collaboration case?

Zuo Ran: Oh… it’s nothing…

MC: …

MC: Lawyer Zuo, did something… happen with the case?

Zuo Ran: As expected, I couldn’t hide it from you… a bit of an accident did occur. But you don’t need to worry – it’s not something very serious.

MC: Really? But your expression looks really bad… How about I accompany you…

Zuo Ran: Don’t worry, there really isn’t anything – trust me.

Zuo Ran stooped slightly and tapped my head.

Zuo Ran: Give me a little more time. I will deal with it all very quickly.

MC: Okay… But if there’s anywhere that I can help, you must tell me.

Zuo Ran: If you are truly this eager to help… then stay by my side a moment longer.

Part 2 – Accepting the Difference

Zuo Ran: It’s you? What a coincidence – we meet again.

MC: Lawyer Zuo, you’re here too? Right, how is the case from before? Do you need me to…

Zuo Ran: Calm down first, don’t worry. I’ve already found the places where there are problems in the case. It will all be fine very soon.

MC: That’s great… Lawyer Zuo, exactly what problem appeared?

Zuo Ran: That contract that was submitted to the collaboration partner before had one activity in the content’s details that ran against this place’s manners and customs. Because this content was too “detailed”, the recipient before might not have noticed it.

MC: So that’s how it was… Only a detail-oriented person like Lawyer Zuo would be able to notice such a tiny problem in these kinds of minor details so quickly. As your partner, I also need to learn this kind of ability and attitude.

Zuo Ran: Alright, since you’re on vacation to relax, then don’t think about work matters for now. It’s my fault for chatting about the case with you this whole time. I also hope that when we’re together, the things we discuss aren’t just work.

Part 3 – Thank-You Gift

MC: Lawyer Zuo, was that file that was transmitted to you earlier of use?

Zuo Ran: Mhmm, thank you for your trouble.

MC: It’s no big deal. After all, this case was quite urgent, so I’m very happy to be able to help. Then, Lawyer Zuo, after this case…

Zuo Ran: There are still some details that need to be confirmed but there are no problems in general.

MC: That’s good. After this case ends, you can also rest well.

Zuo Ran: About this… how much longer will you be staying on Skadi Island?

MC: Still a few more days… what’s the matter?

Zuo Ran: That’s good. I want to properly thank you after the case ends. Don’t rush to refuse yet, I… am also doing this out of selfishness. As for what it is… you’ll know when time comes.

Part 4 – Leisurely Times

MC: Lawyer Zuo, has the case ended?

Zuo Ran: Mm, it’s all finished.

MC: That’s great! Then do you have any plans after, Lawyer Zuo? Are you planning to have fun somewhere or to check someplace out? Skadi Island’s sceneries are very beautiful.

Zuo Ran: Then do you have any plans?

MC: Me? Aside from the stuff I agreed to Yao Yu about, I don’t have any plans…

Zuo Ran: If so, after official business is finished, can I take up your time? I said before that if you had time, we could travel around together. Now might be a good opportunity.

Zuo Ran Chance Encounters

Happy Memories

Dark Night Beach

MC: Lawyer Zuo? Did something happen? Why are you staring at your phone with that expression?

Zuo Ran: It’s nothing, I’m just… looking at the weather forecast.

MC: Weather forecast?

Zuo Ran: Mm, I wanted to confirm if it would snow.

MC: Are you very concerned about whether it’ll snow?

Zuo Ran: I saw before on the geographical magazine that the Dark Night Beach with snowfall was judged as the third-placer on the list of “Scenes that are the best for making people feel happy”. It’s hard enough to come to Skadi Island for once. If it’s possible, I also want you to see this scene. But very regretfully, we are not the only ones on this beach… I’ve checked the nearby villages with beaches, but the forecasted snowfall from a few days ago… probably won’t appear.

MC: Is that so… though it’s somewhat regretful, thank you for considering these things for me, Lawyer Zuo. I already feel very happy like this, regardless if it has snowed or not.

Zuo Ran: Then… how about we walk together on this beach? Though I have no way of letting you see a scene that will make you happy… we can create memories that are only ours together.

Let’s Take a Photo

Dark Night Beach

Zuo Ran: MC? We meet again.

MC: It’s Lawyer Zuo… are you also strolling here?

Zuo Ran: Just came out to walk around and relax my mood.

MC: Same here – I feel like I just need to hear the sounds of the sea to forget all my troubles.

Zuo Ran: …

Zuo Ran: Right… do you want to take photos?

MC: Why did you ask this all of a sudden?

Zuo Ran: It’s nothing, I just felt that the seaside scenery right now is very beautiful, so I wanted to take a few photos for you.

MC: Then Lawyer Zuo, how about you straight up take pictures of these sceneries instead. This way, you’ll be able to completely save the sceneries right here and now.

Zuo Ran: Oh you… what’s important isn’t these sceneries… These sceneries will only be meaningful when recorded with you.

Trip Invitation

Sati Falls

MC: I only noticed now that there are a lot of sea birds here, at Sati Falls… I very rarely see these phenomena at other waterfalls. Sure enough, Skadi Island is very special!

Zuo Ran: Do you like this place a lot?

MC: Mm, not only is the scenery here very beautiful, but stuff like their culture and customs are also very particular.

Zuo Ran: Then how about we come here again next holiday? When time comes, it’ll just be you and me, and together, we’ll… walk through every corner of this island and spend some time that only belongs to us, alright?

Interesting Matters

City of Elves

Zuo Ran: It’s you? Uh, what are you… doing there?

MC: It’s Lawyer Zuo… I’m examining an old-fashioned recorder that I found by chance. It’s this one in front of me.

Zuo Ran: This recorder… looks very worn. It probably was left here for a long time.

MC: Yeah… what a pity. It’s very rare to see these kinds of recorders these days. If it were well-preserved… in a few years, it would be a very precious treasure.

Zuo Ran: Are you very interested in these old items?

MC: It’s not than I’m interested in them, I just sometimes like to examine and see. You can see the changes of time and generations from these old items.

Zuo Ran: …

MC: What’s the matter? Is it that… the things I’m talking about are too boring… people have said this before…

Zuo Ran: You’ve misunderstood. I don’t feel like this matter is boring – instead, I feel that I… seem to have an insufficient understanding of you. That… if you don’t mind, can you tell me more about things like your hobbies? It’s a rare opportunity, so let me get a better understanding of you.

Mysterious Wreckage

Sati Falls

MC: I never would’ve thought that there really would be such a large plane wreckage here…

Zuo Ran: Skadi Island has many volcanoes. Once it erupts, it’s very easy for it to result in plane accidents. Thus, there’s the wreckage of a plane crash here – it’s not anything strange.

MC: Although it looks like it’s been a long time since this crash. Its whole body is also filled with a strange atmosphere. What could be inside?

Zuo Ran: Do… you want to go in and see?

MC: Eh?! Lawyer Zuo, please don’t misunderstand. I just casually said it – there’s no other big meaning. This wreckage looks pretty old – considering safety, we shouldn’t go inside…

Zuo Ran: It’s no problem. If we just look near the entrance of the plane cabin, there shouldn’t be any major problems. Plus… I’m here. I’ll protect you.

Believable Matters

City of Elves

MC: The City of Elves really does have a lot of folklore… Though all the people on Skadi Island believe in these things a lot, it seems like the people here take it especially seriously.

Zuo Ran: It’s likely because this is a city where “miracles” happen a lot. In the history in this city, many miraculous phenomena have occurred here that cannot be explained by modern science. The people attribute these things to “elves” and supernatural phenomena, and they bear deep trust without a shred of doubt to these… Perhaps they also hold the hope that “miracles” will befall them.

MC: That can be considered as a very honest way of thinking. Right, Lawyer Zuo, do you believe these things? Things like “elves” and “miraculous powers”.

Zuo Ran: In the past, I didn’t believe in these. But now, I seem to be willing to believe in these.

MC: Why?

Zuo Ran: Because… a miracle has already happened before my eyes.

Movie Recommendations

Sajya Fjord

MC: Lawyer Zuo, thank you for explaining so many things about Sajya Fjord to me.

Zuo Ran: It’s nothing – as easy as lifting my hand.

MC: Lawyer Zuo, why are you so familiar with this place?

Zuo Ran: I had a road trip movie that I liked very much before. This was the shooting location. So back then, I went out of my way to find out about it.

MC: Lawyer Zuo, you actually like to see road trip movies? I thought you only watched sci-fi or literature and art movies.

Zuo Ran: Though I prefer these two movie genres, but this doesn’t mean I only watch these genres. As long as it is an excellent work, I will still watch and research it.

MC: Then, Lawyer Zuo, could you recommend some good movies to me? I just happen to be short on shows recently.

Zuo Ran: Sure.

Unachievable Matters

Sajya Fjord

MC: Lawyer Zuo, you’re amazing – you were actually able to catch such a large brown trout! The old man who just invited us to go fishing has also was praising you more.

Zuo Ran: It’s nothing – I just got lucky.

MC: No no no, luck is a part of it, and raw ability is also a part of it. You don’t need to be modest. In my eyes, you’re completely all-capable.

Zuo Ran: I am not all-capable – at least, there is one thing that I have not been able to achieve what I desired.

MC: ???

Zuo Ran: It’s nothing. You… will know in the future.

Daily Coffee

Vikja Capital

MC: This coffee shop’s “Vikja Capital” special edition coffee flavour really is unforgettable… and I don’t know if I’kk have a chance to drink this in the future…

Zuo Ran: Do you like this flavour a lot?

MC: Mhmm. Plus, I don’t know if it’s my misconception, but I keep feeling like this coffee’s invigorating effects are very prominent…

Zuo Ran: I’ve bought some extra of this coffee, and I’m preparing to bring it back to the law firm. If you want to drink it… you can come find me. I can prepare it every day for you to drink.

Dessert Education

Vikja Capital

MC: (It’s too difficult. This open-air dessert shop’s free course on creating desserts is too hard… It feels like my hands are already no longer mine…)

Zuo Ran: Are you alright?

MC: I’m fine. Lawyer Zuo, you can focus on yours, no need to concern yourself with me.

Zuo Ran: …

Zuo Ran: Oh you… if you feel that it’s hard, you can directly tell me. We can think of methods together. I’m right beside you – rely on me a little more.

【未定事件簿】 Tears of Themis: A Love Poem to Skadi - Xia Yan Encounters

Translation Masterlist | Themis Event Masterlist

Encounters: Xia Yan | Zuo Ran | Mo Yi | Lu Jinghe

See under cut!

Mini-Story - A Strange Riddle

Part 1 - Detective Convention

Dark Night Beach

MC: Xia Yan? Is that you?

Xia Yan: Of course it’s me. Who else would it be?

MC: Why are you standing here – weren’t you going to participate in the detective convention?

Xia Yan: I’m waiting for someone – I agreed with a friend to meet here and go together to the convention venue.

MC: Is that so. Great Detective Xia, can I interview you? You’re about to participate in a detective convention, so how’s your mood? Are you nervous?

Xia Yan: Nervous? Why would I be nervous?

MC: Don’t you have to solve riddles in this detective convention? Plus I heard that, to stimulate the participants’ hype, they’ll also hold a competition. You might encounter super strong opponents.

Xia Yan: You’re trusting me way too little. I’m Xia Yan, after all, your Sherlock. Just wait, I’ll definitely return with the first place.

Part 2 - Strange Riddle

MC: Xia Yan?! Why are you here? Your convention’s ended?

Xia Yan: Not yet. Right now, it’s the time to look for evidence. I’m currently looking for clues here.

MC: What kind of clues do you need to find? Is there anything I can help with?

Xia Yan: I’m looking for clues related to a “witch”.

MC: A “witch”?

Xia Yan: Mm, the riddle this time has to do with an old woman that calls herself a witch in a certain little village near the Dark Night Beach. She also claims that the shipwreck of the pirate king is buried on this beach, and the task us detectives have is to solve this riddle.

MC: Sounds like the difficulty level isn’t low…

Xia Yan: Yeah… although I already have a bit of the basic idea. I just still need clues and evidence to support it. Give me a little more time.

Part 3 - Exposing the Truth

Xia Yan: MC, do… do you have time after? Can you help me with something?

MC: What’s the matter? Based on your expression… is it something that has to do with the riddle?

Xia Yan: Mm, I’ve already found the truth of the riddle, but considering the involved old woman’s age… Maybe, with you there, I can appease her mood quicker.

MC: Is it actually this serious?

Xia Yan: Yeah, although this is only my personal consideration… Maybe that old woman will be far stronger than what I thought.

MC: Then let’s hurry out, as early as possible…

Xia Yan: Don’t get anxious yet, relax. With me here, it’ll be fine.

Part 4 – Happy Ending

MC: Awesome! We finally solved the puzzle about the “witch” successfully!

Xia Yan: Yeah, it really is great that we could successfully have the old woman untie the knots in her heart.

MC: But I really never would’ve thought that the reason why the old woman calls herself a “witch” is… because she wanted to rely on this kind of “weirdness” to gain attention as she lived on her own. And that “pirate king’s shipwreck” was actually pointing to the similar-shaped massive rock on the beach…

Xia Yan: But based on the attitudes the people of the little village have towards her, she probably won’t have to worry about the same problem again.

MC: Yeah – just now, there were a lot of people inviting the old woman to live permanently at their houses! I hope that her life in the future will be happy.

Xia Yan: Mhmm! It definitely will be!

Xia Yan Chance Encounters

Message in a Bottle

Dark Night Beach

MC: Xia Yan Xia Yan, I picked up a bottle with a message in it!

Xia Yan: This bottle looks pretty new… was it just released by someone?

MC: It might be… then let’s throw it back in the sea.

Xia Yan: Speaking of which… do you know what will happen when two people throw a bottle with a message in it?

MC: What?

Xia Yan: A creature that holds onto love lives in the bottle. If you send it back into the embrace of the big sea, then… it will protect you and the one you love, forever and forever, and you will never split apart.

The Sound in the Conch

Dark Night Beach

MC: Xia Yan, what are you doing with the conch shell?

Xia Yan: Have you heard the legend of the Dark Night Beach?

MC: Legend? What legend?

Xia Yan: The legend of Dark Night Beach is that it’s where the elves and trolls battle. If you stand on the beachside and listen to the sound of the conch… You might be able to hear the sounds of the fighting between the elves and the trolls.

MC: So you’re listening to the sounds of the fighting?

Xia Yan: Of course not. What about the sounds of fighting is worth listening to… I’m looking for another sound – the sound of the fairy’s blessing.

MC: ???

Xia Yan: In the legend, the sound of the fairy’s blessing is hidden among the sounds of the fights, ensuring that all the elves can safely return. If you can distinguish this sound, the fairy will arrive by your side and grant you blessings.

MC: So… you want to find the fairy and get her blessings?

Xia Yan: Yes, but also no.

MC: ???

Xia Yan: I do want to find the fairy, but rather than me, I hope her blessings can be given to someone else. I hope that she can ensure that that person will forever be happy and blessed… and then, to forever, forever stay by my side.

Awaiting the Snow

Sati Falls

Xia Yan: MC?! Is that you? What are you doing over here?

MC: Nothing, I’m just casually walking around…

Xia Yan: What’s the matter? Your eyebrows look so tightly furrowed – got some troubles?

MC: It’s not really anything, I’m just wondering when it’ll snow…

Xia Yan: Snow? Why are you paying attention to this?

MC: I heard others say that seeing a snowscape beside a waterfall feels different from other places, so I came here a little expectant… But it seems like there’s nothing that indicates that it’ll snow here…

Xia Yan: Don’t get discouraged. Sometimes, surprises come a bit late. How about this – we pray for it together?

MC: Pray?

Xia Yan: Mm, praying for the winter snow to come fast, and praying that every one of your wishes will become reality.

Tiny Surprise

Sati Falls

Xia Yan: Want to taste the flavour of the waffle I have here? I just bought it from the nearby sweets shop.

MC: Why did you think of buying this?

Xia Yan: It’s because of this waffle’s taste. It’s said that this flavour is one that only Skadi Island has – you can’t buy it anywhere else, so I wanted to buy it for you to taste.

MC: Thank you, Xia Yan. How about we split it up and eat it then? Good flavours are meant to be shared!

Xia Yan: Then… I’ll help myself!

Coloured Stones

City of Elves

Xia Yan: MC? What are you doing, crouching on the ground?

MC: I’m looking for coloured stones.

Xia Yan: Coloured stones? What are you looking for these for?

MC: It’s like this – I saw before on the guides that the City of Elves has a lot of coloured stones piled together. If you circle these stones, following the hour hand, you’ll be able to see the little elves on there fixing the houses, and you can see their lives!

Xia Yan: You’re just like when you were little – you still like these fairytales a lot.

MC: Can’t I? Plus, this story itself is very interesting!

Xia Yan: You can, you can, of course you can. Right, I also know a lot of other interesting stories. Do you wanna hear them?

MC: Sure!

Xia Yan: Then let’s walk as we talk.

Sunset

City of Elves

MC: The sunset in the City of Elves looks very special… Especially when I think back on this city’s legends that are full of magic. I feel like it’s just like fairyland of my dreams when we were little.

Xia Yan: Do you like this place a lot?

MC: Mhmm!

Xia Yan: Then… should we stay here for an extra two days? Just like when we were little, we can explore everywhere and walk through every corner of this city. There are a lot of beautiful sceneries here, waiting for us to discover them.

Picnic

Sajya Fjord

MC: …

Xia Yan: What’s the matter? You look like you’re in low spirits.

MC: Xia Yan… I’m hungry… could we eat lunch first?

Xia Yan: You should’ve said earlier – then let’s look for a place to rest and have a picnic. I’ve prepped a lot of food – they’re all ones you like to eat.

MC: Xia Yan, thank you.

Xia Yan: Don’t be so courteous… I see a spot over there that’s pretty good – let’s head over.

Unexpected Discovery

Sajya Fjord

MC: (Seems like there’s something under the sand…)

MC: Eh? There’s actually a galvanized iron box!

Xia Yan: What did you find?

MC: Seems like someone buried a box here, and I accidentally dug it out. Look at this, doesn’t it look like the boxes we often buried to make wishes when we were little?

Xia Yan: It does look like those… but this was buried way too shallowly… It was dug up so easily, so the wish that was made definitely won’t come true.

MC: Speaking of which… Xia Yan, did the wish you made back then come true?

Xia Yan: It did. Aren’t you right by my side right now?

Lucky Bracelet

Vikja Capital

Xia Yan: What did you buy so many shells for?

MC: I want to try making a bracelet. It’s said that the shells sold at Vikja Capital’s marketplaces have all been bathed in the holy light of the elves, and it can bless someone so that everything goes as they desire and they can accomplish whatever they want.

Xia Yan: Do you want to make these because… you’ve encountered some trouble?

MC: I haven’t, I’m just hoping for good omens. Who knows if I’ll encounter something troublesome in the future…

Xia Yan: You don’t have to worry about these. No matter what happens, I’ll always protect you.

Secret Drawing

Vikja Capital

MC: We can experience making sand art… Xia Yan, how about we try?

Xia Yan: Alright, I’ll listen to you. Right, what do you want to draw?

MC: I’ll draw stuff like plants and animals… what about you?

Xia Yan: About this… let me keep it a secret for now.

MC: So mysterious? Could it be some shocking masterpiece?

Xia Yan: You’ll know after I finish drawing it – it’ll definitely give you a shock. Look forward to it.
