DREAM MEISTER & THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY

GRANDFLAIR CHARACTER CARD #1

━

With the sweet morning still fresh in the air, a thunderous boom echoes through the peace and stillness...

EMMA : Okay, come on you two, wake up. It's time for breakfast

With a frying pan and spatula in hand, I proceeded to literally beat the two of them awake.

CROW : ...Did someone say food? (yawn) Morning.

ITSUKI : ...Ugh, morning...

After waiting for proof that they were finally, sluggishly, trudging out of bed, I returned to the kitchen to report to Gran, who was cooking said breakfast.

EMMA : They’re awake.

GRANDFLAIR : Heh. I must say, you've really gotten into the swing of taking care of them, huh?

EMMA : Haha, thanks to you, I learned from the best after all.

GRANDFLAIR : They're not easy to wake up, that's for sure. 

EMMA : How did you wake them up, Gran?

GRANDFLAIR : By sheer force. Dragging them to the living room became part of my morning routine.

As Gran removed his apron, he smiled gently like a sunbeam.

It was a kind smile that revealed the truth of his personality, completely different from the hardened grimace he typically wore.

GRANDFLAIR : I'm sorry for making you do all these chores, Emma. For what it’s worth, my burden has lightened considerably.

EMMA : No worries. If I can be of help, I'm happy.

Together with Gran, we brought breakfast to the table.

Fluffy omelets, creamy vegetable soup, and rye bread with jam.

Each dish Gran made aroused both my appetite and admiration.

GRANDFLAIR : Speaking of which, what about Noah?

EMMA : He headed out into the forest early this morning. Said he’d be back for dinner.

GRANDFLAIR : I see... He never changes. Well, so long as he eats properly.

ROUGE : I'm back~! It's the grand return of everyone’s beloved Rouge~!

EMMA : Rouge! Were you drinking until morning again?

ROUGE : No way! I wasn't drinking at all~ (hic) --I haven't been drinking at all!

EMMA : You’ve definitely been drinking... Okay, I'll get you some water.

GRANDFLAIR : Geez, speaking of people who never change… Wake up, Rouge. Don't go sleeping on my floor.

ROUGE : Hehe, somehow it feels like I've gone from having one mother, to two~

ROUGE : Before now, it was only you moonlighting as my mom, Gran. But that kid has potential too, riiight~?

GRANDFLAIR : Emma, I deeply apologize that you have to deal with such brats.

ROUGE : Haha, on that we can agree~!

EMMA : Here's the water!

GRANDFLAIR : Rouge, get up already. We worked hard on breakfast, the least you could do is sit with us.

ROUGE : Sure, sure, but... Crow and Itsuki still seem to be in dreamland~?

At Rouge's words, I turned back to the table and saw...

CROW : grumble

ITSUKI : .........

GRANDFLAIR : ................

GRANDFLAIR : It's breakfast. Straighten up!

And so, another lively morning at the Moon Wanderers guild headquarters began anew.

After finishing their meal, Crow and Itsuki went out to handle their assignments.

Meanwhile, following his typical morning drink, a glass of wine in the name of breakfast, Rouge casually handed me a piece of paper.

ROUGE : Ah, right, I almost forgot~. I've got some good news today~.

GRANDFLAIR : A treasure recovery request?

ROUGE : The reward is quite substantial, isn't it? I thought you might be interested~.

In an instant, Gran and I exchanged glances.

As the ones responsible for the guild's finances, our answer had already been decided.

GRANDFLAIR : Emma, shall we take on this request together?

EMMA : Yes!

Yumekuro Artbook - Q&A (Tsukiwatari)

>>> yume tsumugi ver. - magia seminar ver.

Crow

Introductions: I’m an explorer, Crow. My job is to find all kinds of interesting things around the world, it’s my purpose in life! What makes me happiest is when people get excited about the things I find. Also, I feel happy whenever I eat with everyone at home [TN: the guild home]!

MC first impression: First of all, I was really surprised. “No way, she’s so cute… even more than I imagined”. When we met for the first time, I was so excited I ended up immediately telling her how cute she is! Looking back on it now, it’s a bit embarrassing, ahah.

Evan first impression: Evan, huh? He’s such a tsundere! For some time after meeting him, I felt like he would cut me if I tried touching him. But I like how competitive he is. I think we’ve been getting along well lately, though I think he’d deny this and say “NO!”.

Meister you’re close with: Obviously, it’s everyone from Tsukiwatari, but outside my own guild there’s also the mechanics’ guild Lagoon. He’s the one that maintains my bike. He often tells me not to be reckless, but I think we get along well; even though we’re a little apart in age [TN: Crow is 22 and Lagoon is 36], we sometimes go on rides and eat together!

Itsuki

Introductions: I’m a moon reader, Itsuki. My job is to predict and research how the Moon Road, a road to other countries, will appear. Then uhh… what should I say… Hobbies? My hobby is cooking. Though… my friends say that my sense of taste is “out of this world”. Out of this world… huh… [TN: the verb used here can also mean “to lack common sense” lol]

MC first impression: The first time I saw her I was impressed. She’s so delicate that my impression of her was miles away from that of her father. Also, I thought her eyes were very beautiful. This has not changed even now. They’re pure and strong, and when I look at them, I sometimes feel drawn to them.

Navi first impression: Navi seems… busy. At first glance, he’s laughing, then angry then sad. Then, all of a sudden he starts playing tricks… his emotions change all the time. I was worried it might tire him out too much, but when I told him this he glared at me. I often make him angry like this, but it’d be nice if I could make him laugh, too.

Meister you’re close with: Since I’m not good at interacting with others, so I mostly only talk to the Tsukiwatari members… I guess the answer is Crow. When he fell on me from a Moon Road, I got scared to death. We’ve been together ever since. That encounter has changed everything for me… I don’t know what will come next.

Grandflair

Introductions: I’m the living paintings’ artist, Grandflair. I’m the leader of the World exploration Guild Tsukiwatari. If any of our guild members cause you any trouble, please contact me. Despite still being inexperienced, I’d like to make art that can make people smile. I look forward to working with you in the future.

MC first impression: Although Crow and Itsuki had already told me something… she was completely different from what I had imagined. I came to meet her thinking she was rough, bold and strong, but then I found out she is considerate, attentive and very capable… from the bottom of my heart, I’m grateful that she’s become our guildkeeper.

Himmel first impression: He used to be a bit of a pessimist, but I think he’s come to change a bit. [TN: not sure what the right translation is here for the next part…]. It’s a bit surprising how fast he switches from being awake to falling asleep (?) but… from now on, I’ll keep on telling him:”To fight back is not futile” [TN: technically, Himmel’s way of thinking is grounded on the fact that the future cannot be changes, so this ties back to that, although I truly don’t know why Grand is mentioning it here]

Meister you’re close with: …Do I really have to say his name? Rouge, from my same guild, though he’s more of a close friend [TN: the word used is 腐れ縁 which means undesirable but inseparable], rather than a good friend. I still can’t forgive him for calling me “Mom” [TN: because Grand is the “mom” of the guild]. If you loo at his character, he’s an awful person: bad with money, is a drunk hard, spends more time fooling around than actually working… although, there’s some good sides to him as well.

Rouge

Introductions: Yeees~ Tsukiwatari’s handsome poet, that’d be me, Rouge!~ Then, let’s toast to our introduction, shall we? Bahahah, don’t hold baaaackkk~ Oops sorry, looks like I have no money!

MC first impression: I was so surprised I thought to myself “Hey hey, what’s with this cute girl? Why is such a cute girl in my guild?!”. I thought she heard the rumours about me and came to check me out but… that wasn’t the case at all, ahah.

Shaymie first impression: Shaymie is so innocent and cute. I think that his whole being forgetful thing is also part of his personality. He always works hard and gives it his all but… I think he can take it more slowly and enjoy himself. Though, I think it’s about time he’d at least learn my name…

Meister you’re close with: Grand from my guild! “Lend me money~!” Is our greeting! …though when I say that, he always looks like he’s about to punch me again. Primus club’s Victor is my drinking buddy. He treats me whenever I lose at gambling. He’s so kind… eh? He’s charging me?

Noah

Introductions: Mythical beasts master, Noah… I belong to the World exploration guild, Tsukiwatari. My role is to protect the phantom beasts — and to do that, I need to become stronger than anyone else.

MC first impression: I knew she wasn’t a bad person because Corocle liked her. She takes care of me a lot, though I had some trouble adjusting at first… however, the food she makes is delicious, and I don’t think it’s bad.

Chitose first impression: Chitose is very knowledgeable and teaches me many things. Many of them, I don’t really care about, though they can be useful. It’s just… sometimes I’’m a bit surprised. He asked me why I was helping out a dying mythical beast, telling me it was going to die anyways. I didn’t really understand what he meant.

Meister you’re close with: There is no such thing. Mh? …Rouge? Don’t make me laugh. I despise that guy. I even keep my dirty clothes away from his. I don’t like breathing the same air as him, so why does he care about me…

sum. Realizing their feelings for you.

type. Headcanons, Oneshots

ー 𝙲𝚛𝚘𝚠

The memory felt faint to him; the day Crow first held you inside his arms. the day he met you.

You gazed at him with those big and surprised eyes of yours, and just the thought of all of that makes him smile in indifference.

He felt at ease when your grip on his waist was tight, his heartbeat racing as the blowing wind attempts to ease his hot temperature. taking you on rides in his motorbike was a blast, but also an excuse, of some sort.

With the other four always occupying your presence, he barely felt your eyes on him. it's such a strange feeling, y'know? he resists the urge to chuckle dryly.

The way Gran cupped your face lovingly, how you gaped at Itsuki with fondness, how you laughed at Rouge's tackiness, or how you went on night strolls with Noah..

He wanted to erase all of it, and if he couldn't, he needed to cool his head off. he wondered what was wrong with him. it's not like.. he was disapproving your relationship with everyone. no, he didn't have the right to. You're not some precious treasure a guy like him could hog all to himself. you were free, free of your own will. it's your choice who you hang-out with, who you rely on.

He stops in his stances, your voice calling out to him with worry. He flashes a grin. He had no chance, it hurts, but he didn't feel that flaming confidence to make you happy like they all do.

ー 𝙸𝚝𝚜𝚞𝚔𝚒

Itsuki felt lightheaded, feeling his tail wiggle rapidly as you stroke his ears gently. he talked to you about.. this, other side of himself. and before he knew it, his head was already laying on your lap, eyes shut tight as he enjoyed your warmth.

It became a routine, he supposed. you'd ready books together, talk about the things you did in the past, your interests in moonroad..

He might as well feel like a pet, begging attention from its master. he liked this time of the day, with you.. no, that was a lie. he loved it. but, just the thought of getting caught by the others in this situation..

He wonders why you do this. why you're so kind and caring to him, while he has done nothing for you. all he did was accept your touches, your sweet yet sincere words.. it's like they say, 'give back what one has received'.

So maybe.. if he did the same thing to you, would you feel at ease, as well?

He'd like to stroke your hair until you fall asleep, if that's what you'd like. he wanted to make you feel safe with him than he is with you. is he.. allowed to do all of that for you?

Of course, as.. fellow comrades.

But neither did Crow, nor Gran, or Rouge and Noah did the things you do, even though they're also what he calls 'fellow comrades'.

Itsuki wanted to ask Navi. about what was different about you, and everyone else. yes.. that's a good idea. maybe, he might find clues about this.

ー 𝙶𝚛𝚊���𝚍𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚛

Gran longed for smiling faces, flowers, and sunny days. it was his ideal, the best scenery in all of sceneries.

And the front seat to that unreachable landscape was right in front of him.

Your bright smile, rivaling that big round ball up on the sky, the flowers you were holding bloomed with vivid hues.

All he could do was gape at you. He.. wanted to paint this, so, so badly.

Was he perhaps reacting too dramatically? maybe. you were saying something to him, but he couldn't hear you. his chest was beating too fast he didn't know what kind of eerie face he might be making right now.

He wanted to see this terrain once again. but in order for that to happen, he needs to protect you.

All he needed to do was that. and if it fulfills.. would you give him the same joy and laughter someday?

ー 𝚁𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚎

Rouge knows he's hopeless. always asking Gran for money, drinking alcohol when he gets the chance.. and being that hopeless jerk gave him the best mates he could ever ask for.

The same thought kept on repeating on the back of his mind when you appear in front of him. I mean, what an angel. you weren't mean to him like Noah, and you laughed at his jokes genuinely. yet you also scolded him for being too reckless sometimes. and can he be honest here, right now? he finds that part of you absolutely endearing.

'Sometimes sweet, sometimes hard.'

He feels like god was favored of him. I mean, he's aware he has good-looks, a nice singing voice, though he probably wasn't getting a lover any time soon, with his personality and all.

He kinds of feel bad for the person who'd become his partner. I mean, he's a troublemaker. even mommy Gran can't keep him in check. his unreadable, always going where the wind calls him.. so, Rouge is already aware that no one can understand him, keep up with him.

Nobody can.

Until.. well, you came.

Waking up with a warm blanket covering him from coldness, the once dirty table filled with bottles of alcohol were gone, clean and sparkly. pain reliever, warm water were the only things in front of him. and beside that, was you, in a deep slumber.

Aha, he must've been a messy mess again. but, howcome you knew he was here? he didn't tell anyone about where he was going.

He brushes this off. oh well. he stands in front of you and wraps the blanket on you, leaning your head on his shoulders. what a cutie. you must've been worried about him.

Maybe he should try and be more mature and reliable sometimes.

Noah would definitely give him a deep scowl. just the thought of it makes him grin.

ー 𝙽𝚘𝚊𝚑

Korokuru sleeps under your touch, the small, fluffy one looking peaceful as ever.

Noah apologizes, and thanks you for looking after him. usually, his friend of his wouldn't be buddy-buddy with anyone besides him. which is why it confuses him as to why it's different when it's you.

Noah despises humans. well, this factor should be obvious since he spoke to you about this matter in the beginning. of course, everyone in Tsukiwatari are different but..

The same sense he felt in humans than you was also different. a mystery, really.

Just being with you made him feel like he had nothing to be worried of. the chirping birds came by and greeted you, and the night sky felt brighter than day time.

He sighs. you really were a mystery.

But that was also a conclusion.. but it's not like he's fully trusted you like he does with Korokuru. he admits that you're one of his important comrades, but.. it's nothing more than that..! ..okay?

Though.. he enjoys nights with you like this. you'd come by tomorrow too, right?

Crow Card Story pt1

!!!TRANSLATIONS ARENT 100% CORRECT SINCE I DONT KNOW JAPANESE!!!!!

With the blue sky overhead, mixed with the engine sound of the motorcycle, the sound of the cutting wind resounds in your ears.

Crow: Emma hold on!

Emma: y-yeah!

On the arm around Crow's belly astride the bike, i put my strength in. As it was a signal Crow's engine is still burning! And at the same time, from behind I heard the sound of several motorcycles.

Man 1: Hey! Wait!

Man 2: Don't run away you two!

Man 3: Give me the treasure!

The men who relentlessy fired at me from behind were, in any way, not the man of the shadows.

Crow: Haha! Are these guys real?

Emma: Woah! This isnt the right time to laugh!

Emma: (thinking) Why are this happening?

Flashback......

Grandflare: Do you really want to join us in our search?

Emma: Yeah everyone seems pretty busy I have to become useful as guild keeper as soon as possible. The best way to get used to it its partecipate in a hands-on experience or an exploration

Itsuki: you are overflowing with energy

Crow: Haha, more than anything else, we are reliable. Of course you are welcome,right? Hey Gran-

Grandflare: if so there is an affordable on. Why dont you go with Crow?

I was excited inside. Gran spread out the commission on the table.

Grandflare: it has sparkle that seems to contain flames inside. They asking for a recovery of a rare ore, brucket cooper.

Grandflare: But I received a call that it was in a cave...

Emma: Are we have a problem?

Itsuki: the problem is where the cave is...

Crow: right there, they are famous for their cowardice

Grandflare: They are pretty belligerent. One person is not a big deal,but there are many.

Emma: i see

Emma: its cash though. When you hear rare things, you obviusly be interested.

Crow: That's how it is. It shine like a flame

Crow: if you say that. Its obvius that you want to see it.

Emma:But...if its such dangerous place. How do you get it back?

Crow: of course we have to get in. You dont have to worry

Itsuki: Sure. Its true that we can actually do something with Crow

Grandflare:After all Crow's luck is proven

Emma: luck?

Itsuki: yeah, if its a little mirror shot or a falling rock, it wont hit him.

Emma: is that so? Its so reassuring!

Crow: Well anyway its Emma's first job in tsukiwatari

Crow: let's do it together!

Return to present

And so when we find the less ore, although it was easy to pick it up...we are bumping into a problem on the way home....this is rather bad luck?

Crow: These guys are more persistant than i throught

Crow: Oh lucky! We shortcut from there!!!

Crow puts on the brake and changes the destination of the motorcycle. There was a steep cliff ahead

Emma: from there?

Crow turn his face back and looked at me with squinted eyes.

Crow: Emma, Hold on!

Emma: Im telling you?Wait,wait,wait!?

I tried my best to raise my voice. The momentum of the bike never stopped

Crow: Woooo!!!

The sky beyond Crow's back...this is the first time that I see it from this close.

GRANDFLAIR'S PAST STORY #1

━

A plume of smoke obscures the sky over head as orange flames spread far and wide.

For miles on end, the only sounds are the yells and screams between those are who are killing, and those who are dying.

There's no sign of peace in sight. Even so, as a mercenary, I can hardly complain.

GRANDFLAIR : (War is Hell. The battlefield nothing more than a killzone where we take each other's lives… And there's few ways to earn more money than this…)

Nothing had really changed. Things were exactly as they were back when I was in the Monster Hunting squad, Avalon. Only the monsters I hunted now were human beings.

I was ecstatic.

Born into monster infested lands with a naturally gifted physique. I joined my country's strike team at the tender age of 12 and began making a name for myself, one victory after another.

My father passed away very early in our lives, so it was up to me to support my family. But more than that… I was proud. I revelled in the gratitude and admiration.

So when a major superpower came along offering me a job as a mercenary, I left Avalon without so much as a second thought.

GRANDFLAIR : (No signal… But the battle is clearly over…)

I watch on as the enemy soldiers flee into the thick smoke, like dust scattering on the wind.

And, fortunately, I'm able to scavenge a good amount of supplies from the battlefield.

GRANDFLAIR : (Looks like we won't have to worry about food for a while. Now, what shall we have for dinner today…)

GRANDFLAIR : (I'm going to treat myself to something fancy for a change.)

Killing people and making a living off of them... Looking back, the mere idea of it horrifies me, but…

I'd just become so accustomed to my life as a mercenary that something so screwed up started to sound normal.

━

As I was preparing to head out, I noticed a fellow soldier approaching.

ALLY SOLDIER : If it isn't the Blood Beast of Avalon!

GRANDFLAIR : I have never called myself that. Not once.

ALLY SOLDIER : Haha! That's the thing about nicknames, sometimes you don't even know you have one.

ALLY SOLDIER : Great job again out there, huh? As this rate you'll be promoted before any of us.

GRANDFLAIR : I hope so.

ALLY SOLDIER : Damn, you're not even tryna hide it, huh? That greed. That desire to get ahead. You truly are a beast.

A trivial topic of conversation. The next moment, the sound of mutual laughter is pierced by the crack of a gunshot.

…And the guy in front of me collapses.

...Like a puppet with severed strings.

GRANDFLAIR : !!

I quickly duck behind the rubble as a firefight between a surviving enemy soldier and my remaining allies breaks out.

The firefight lasts less than 10 seconds, ending when the enemy soldier is slaughtered where he stands.

GRANDFLAIR : …………

I take a small breath and look down at my feet. The man I'd just been laughing with was already dead.

It's not that I wasn't sad, I just… Wasn't particularly upset either.

People who were alive yesterday lay strewn as corpses across the battlefield today.

A sight so common it had become normal.

GRANDFLAIR : (What were you… Even trying to achieve?)

GRANDFLAIR : (Did you want to be a hero?)

My gaze turned up toward the murky sky.

I used to dream of such things.

But now I just kill people each and every day.

And every day it gets worse. I'm losing touch. Losing sight of who I used to be...

GRANDFLAIR'S PAST STORY #2

━

Day after day, I would wander the battlefield, felling the enemies in my path.

Until suddenly, in the midst of those wild and stormy days, I found myself lying on the cold hard ground.

My whole body was somehow uncomfortably wet.

GRANDFLAIR : (…Huh? What the Hell was I doing? How did I end up here? And where did this water come from?)

I tried to move my right hand as it twitched slightly. That's when I realized… This was not water, but… My own blood, sticking to me, painting my clothes a murky crimson black.

Not long after, the pain pierced through my entire body, and at the edge of my blacked out tunnel vision, I could spy the debris rolling around the battlefield.

Suddenly, I remembered…

GRANDFLAIR : (...Oh, I see. Nothing to worry about then.)

GRANDFLAIR : (Finally, it's my turn…)

I had taken countless lives up until that point. Seemed only right for them to finally take mine as well.

GRANDFLAIR : (What happened while I was out? Did we lose or did we win? How many battles were fought?)

GRANDFLAIR : (No, none of that matters… We're all just gonna die anyway…)

I let out a dry laugh without thinking.

And then I saw something white at the edge of my vision.

GRANDFLAIR : …Nn...!

My body immediately stiffened on instinct, feigning death. Only my eyes moves to see what had crept up on me. It was…

GRANDFLAIR : …A flower…?

A single flower, shining with a dazzling, pure white glow.

It was beautiful in nature, but in such a bleak landscape, it seemed almost alien.

GRANDFLAIR : (Why is there a flower… In a place like this…?)

Perhaps it was the mere whim of a dying man, but I could feel this unquenchable desire to see it up close welling within me.

My gaze turns toward the flower and I dragged my aching body, inch by inch…

GRANDFLAIR : …Hn!? This is…

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I got closer just to make sure… This wasn't a flower but, rather, a painting come to life…

The evidence was indisputable… The flower had not sprouted from the cold, hard ground of this drab and empty wasteland. But rather… From a notebook that lay propped open beside me…

GRANDFLAIR : (A drawing brought to life? What kind of witchcraft is this? I've never seen anything like it…)

GRANDFLAIR : (It's… It's beautiful…)

The corpse of a young man lay beside the notebook, presumably the owner…

But even though the owner was dead, the flower remained, as vibrant and alive as the real thing.

No… This flower bloomed with even more brilliance than that…

GRANDFLAIR : ………

I'd lived most of my life embroiled in the heat of battle…

Never taking an interest in a single work of art, so I had no place to praise or to criticise…

And yet… I felt such a strong attraction, a fascination with this one brilliant flower… It was the strangest thing…

GRANDFLAIR : (How could someone capable of painting such… A beautiful picture… Have died… In a filthy place like this…?)

I reached out for the notebook as if drawn to it, plucking it from the ground and holding it close to my heart.

GRANDFLAIR : …I'm tired.

Those few words fell as whisper, and I quietly closed my eyes…
