DREAM MEISTER & THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY
Tumblr media
ITSUKI AFFECTION #1
It was the start of a peaceful holiday…
EMMA : You know, I was just thinking, I don’t actually know what you do for a hobby…
ITSUKI : My hobby? Well, that would be cooking.
EMMA : Oh, really? But isn't it Gran who does all the cooking...?
ITSUKI : Ah, well, I'm nowhere near the level of Gran.
ITSUKI : So if everyone enjoys Gran's cooking, it's better that way. I try to leave it to him whenever possible.
EMMA : I see.
ITSUKI : But now that you mention it, I'm starting to feel like cooking for the first time in a long time.
ITSUKI : Emma. Would it be alright if I made lunch today?
EMMA : Oh, you want to make me lunch? Well, I'm certainly looking forward to it!
More than a little bit of time later…
ITSUKI : Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting.
Itsuki, with a smile so beamingly bright, proudly presented what he had spent the last hour cooking up...
EMMA : Um, what's this?
Tumblr media
ITSUKI : It's a thick intestine and vegetable stew. I also used fresh ayu to bring out the flavor.
EMMA : (It's so overcooked and mushy that you can't even tell what ingredients he used…)
ITSUKI : Hm? What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?
EMMA : Oh, no! ...Th-Thank you for the meal.
Summoning up every ounce of courage I could muster, I dove into the dish.
EMMA : Hmh!!?
EMMA : (It's sweet, salty, sour, and spicy all at once!?)
EMMA : (This flavor profile is all kinds of mixed up!!)
ITSUKI : How is it? It’s been a while since I made it, but I think the seasoning is juuuuuuust right.
EMMA : Um... I guess you could say… From the moment I put it in my mouth, it was like opening up a whole new world of possibilities…?
ITSUKI : Ah! It was enough to see a completely new horizon, eh? Heh, I'm really happy you liked it!
ITSUKI : Actually, I made a little extra. Please don't hesitate to eat as much as you like.
EMMA : ........Huh!?
EMMA : (E-Eat as much as I like... my stomach might explode!!!)
ITSUKI : It really doesn’t seem to be to Crow and the others' tastes, but I'm glad you liked it!
EMMA : (But, I can't help it, I just want to protect this smile!)
That said, no amount of overwhelming desire to protect Itsuki’s smile could stop me from desperately trying to remember where Gran kept the antacid…

Past story - Chapter 1 (Cyrus)
— The brothers of bygone days—
Tumblr media
>> chapter 2
Cyrus: …
In the empty room, the only sound echoing was that of me sharpening my sword.
Eventually, I sensed someone approaching and put down my whetstone.
Cyrus: —— thank you for your hard work, commander.
Alex: Oh, sorry for bothering you. Please continue what you were doing.
Cyrus: No, I was just about to finish.
Alex: As always, it remains a wonderful sword.
Alex: Even though you’ve been using it for so long, its fierce glow only grows stronger rather than fading away.
Cyrus: …yes. It’s a very dear sword I inherited from my father.
Cyrus: Since the last battle was intense, I’m taking care of it (TN: as in, performing the maintenance).
Alex: …..there’s plenty of blacksmiths who would feel honoured to help you.
Cyrus: I will continue using this sword. This is… what I believe is my mission.
As I gazed at the freshly sharpened sword, memories of long ago came back to me.
The moment when I received this sword. The path that me and my “younger brother” have taken up until now——
(flashback begins)
I was born into a distinguished family in Alstria, one that has produced many excellent knights for generations.
Nevertheless, I was a quiet kid who liked books and art…
Even so, I received training in the art of the sword, following the family motto of “A knight is one who follows the will of the Dream King, protects the weak, and values peace”.
……together with my twin brother, Emilio.
Emilio: Hehe, I win again!
Cyrus: …..Yeah. I can’t win against you.
Emilio: You’re very kind, Cyrus. Aren’t you softening your blow when you’re about to strike?
Cyrus: I don’t mean to do that though…
Emilio’s talent as a knight blossomed early on.
As the older brother, I felt inferior to him, whose skills were improving rapidly.
More than that, as a child, I felt pure respect for him… I admired him.
Mother: Cyrus, Emilio, it’s time to study.
Emilio: Yess-
Emilio: …Was it history today? I guess I’m not very good at studying.
Emilio: But if there’s anything I don’t understand, I can just ask Cyrus to explain it to me later.
Cyrus: Just like I always ask you for help with the sword.
Emilio: Eheh, leave it to me.
Emilio: Hey, Cyrus. Let’s become strong knights together.
Cyrus: …Yeah.
Emilio: No one will be able to defeat us. You and I will defeat all our enemies.
Cyrus: If it’s you, you might even be able to do it alone though…
Emilio: I want it to be with you!
Emilio adored me, just like I did.
Our strict yet kind parents, and Emilio, my inseparable younger brother.
This happiness will continue forever, in this very same form— That is what I believed without any doubt as a child.

Feld ⟡ Wonder Tea Party (03)
[01] [02] [XX] [04] [05] [06] [07]
Tumblr media
“Operation: Prospective Marriage”
The day after we got our clue for meeting Alice— We were visiting the old flamingo gentleman’s house.
Feld: Give me a break... I’m astounded that you’re flinging yourself into this mess. Are you really going on this date?
Emma: Of course. I have to repay him for his kindness.
Emma: I’ll be upfront when I reject his grandson, so could you hold your anger until then?
Feld: ...Alright. I will stay out of this and not materialize.
Oscar: Emma, sorry we’re thrusting such an unpleasant job onto you. We’re counting on you this once.
The door opens as I nod.
Flamingo Gentleman: I’m terribly sorry for making you wait. Please, meet my grandson.
Young Flamingo Man: Heh~ So this is my prospective bride? She’s pretty cute. I think I’ll make her my fifth—no, third favorite mistress.
Emma: (H-He’s coming off strong right off the bat...!)
Feld: ......
Flamingo Gentleman: This young lady is Emma-san. And accompanying her is her older brother.
Oscar: I hope we can get along.
Young Flamingo Man: Ew. Like I’d ever want to get along with a guy as fluffy as you.
Feld: Ngh... Who does this guy think he is...!?
Feld’s fists are quivering, as if he’s about to throw a punch any second.
Flamingo Gentleman: Now, why don’t you go ahead and spend some time talking to my grandson alone?
Emma: Y-Yes, of course. Would you mind showing me around the mansion?
Young Flamingo Man: Sure! If you insist.
Oscar: And I will stay here to talk with this gentleman about fine cuisine.
Feld: ......
I exchange a glance with Oscar-san before leaving the room, an unmaterialized Feld trailing behind me.
Tumblr media
—GALLERY—
Young Flamingo Man: Pretty neat, huh? This is my gramps’ collection. I’ll give you any one you want.
Feld: These aren’t yours to be handing out, you wretch...!
Young Flamingo Man: What do you think about this “Statue of the Beautiful Hero”? I mean, I’m obviously way more of a hero though.
Feld: I think you’re mistaking “hero” for “coward,” you swine...!
The young man’s attitude angers Feld second by second, but he still suppresses the urge to materialize.
Emma: (I’m glad I’m not alone with this guy, but I’m starting to get worried...)
Young Flamingo Man: ...You’ve been kinda jittery for a while now. What, are you that happy to be on a date with me?
Emma: Huh? No, it’s nothing like that—
Young Flamingo Man: Haha, are you embarrassed? Girls like you are a breath of fresh air.
Young Flamingo Man: You’ve got a nice figure, you listen to me with a smile... I might even make you my first favorite.
The young man brushes his wing against my leg, but then—
Feld: Keep your wandering hands off her! You little buffoon!!
Young Flamingo Man: UWAA!?
A materialized Feld aggressively slaps away the young man’s wing.
Young Flamingo Man: Wh-Where did you come from...? And who are you, anyway!?
Feld: I’m... erm, I’m... her other older brother!
Emma: Feld, hold on a second...!
Feld: I waited long enough. I can’t take this anymore! I will not idly sit by and watch!!
Feld: I was quietly listening all along—what is the matter with you!? You’ve done nothing but puff out your chest and boast about yourself the whole time!!
Feld: Not to mention all you seem to care about is your own convenience! It couldn’t be more obvious how uncomfortable Mis—my little sister is!!
Feld: You can’t read the room, and you’re disgustingly entitled! Take a minute to feel ashamed of yourself, you imbecile!!
Young Flamingo Man: E-EEEEK!!
Emma: Ah...! There he goes.
Feld: Hmph! Just a little shouting sends him running? Pathetic!
Feld: The mere thought of that man becoming your husband makes my blood boil! He is not qualified in the slightest!!
Emma: Um, we weren’t really planning to get married, remember?
Emma: (But I guess we did fulfill the old man’s wish... in a way.)
I head back to the guest room along with Feld, who’s still steaming with anger.

Yumekuro • Adel (Rainbow-coloured Wedding Road) Moon Route Meister Story Translation Part 1/3
Tumblr media
(A/N): It is recommended to read the story with in-game voiced lines ! Beware of spoilers and enjoy reading ^_^
⚠️ STRICTLY NO REPOSTS !
Tumblr media
A Sense Of Accomplishments And Loneliness.
City of Machines, Woodman
The Cathedral.
The bride and groom exchanged their vows in the cathedral, and the attendees applauded generously.
Emma : So beautiful…
The bride who was wearing a beautiful wedding dress with rainbow elements decorated on its hem, had a smile on her face.
Emma : (It was a last minute adjustments, but I’m glad the rainbow-coloured bouquet blended perfectly with the dress, and I’m glad we decided to keep it that way.)
Emma : It’s a great success. I’m glad we made it until the end.
Adel : It's the thought that goes all the way back to the apprenticeship to be recognized for their efforts.
Adel : Craftsmen should speak only of their works. …The sight is our war achievements, you should be proud.
Emma : ! …Ah
Tumblr media
A parade through the streets of Woodman, and a reception. Everything was filled with happiness after the ceremony…
Emma : Not just the bride and groom, even the guests enjoyed the ceremony and I’m truly glad for that.
Adel : It’s a foregone conclusion.
Emma : (The wedding is over which means, I am no longer living together with Adel-san—)
Emma : (That’s… a little sad.)
Adel : What’s up? Don’t tell me you left something behind.
Emma : Nope, it’s nothing.
Adel : Alright. Then we’ll be leaving early.
Adel : The workroom is still messy. Before we leave the mansion, we need to pack some things up.
Emma : Ah! Please wait!
I caught to Adel-san in a hurry, who has turned his back as he was about to made his way home without hesitation.
Emma : The needles are over here and the laces are at…
I didn’t have many personal items to pack up, so I decided to lend a hand to help Adel-san clean up the workroom right after I quickly finished getting ready to leave.
Adel : Emma, we should arrange the dyes first.
Emma : It would be a catastrophe if we accidentally drop the bottles, I got it. I’ll get to it right after this.
Adel : Ah, please. Just leave the trousseau as it is since the bride’s representative will pick it up later.
I took a look around, the workroom was a mess as if to illustrate how busy it had been until yesterday.
Emma : (Eventhough I couldn’t keep up with the eating meals together and say our bedtime greetings rules, but he still ate the vegetable soup I made for him.)
Emma : (It’s a shame that it’s ending when I’m just getting used to all of this.)
Adel : …Oi.
Emma : Huh? Ah…. Sorry, I got distracted.
Adel : You look as dumbfounded as you were on our way back. Is there something bothering you?
Emma : Yes. But, it’s nothing serious to think too much about it.
Emma : (It’s very childish of me to get sad over leaving this kind of lifestyle, I can’t let Adel-san know about this.)
Adel : You’re still hesitating. If it bothers you enough for you to get distracted, you should just say it.
Adel : —Nevermind, I don’t have the right to force you like that.
Emma : Huh?
Adel : Yesterday, I didn’t tell you my answer to your question.
*flashbacks*
Emma : …? Um, did I say something funny?
Adel : It doesn’t. Just, how do I say it…
Adel : No, nevermind.
Adel : Perhaps it’s because I’m too tired to think straight, I’m having a hard time putting my thoughts in proper words. I’ll talk to you next time.
*flashback ends*
Adel : You told me something at that time. When you saw me doing my best, you couldn’t help not to lose either.
Emma : Yes, I did say that…
Adel : Until now, I thought it would be the same with or without me around.
Adel : But this time, the presence of you working hard elsewhere (even when I’m not around)… I can sense it.
Adel : When we first started living together, I had never thought I’d develop this kind of feeling ever.
When Adel-san spoke on his feelings in slightly a faltering manner, it made my heart jump a little.
Emma : Actually—
Before the words which came out unconsciously reached Adel-san, his meister board’s notification rang.
Adel : Volks…?
To be continued…
(A/N): If there are misspellings, mistranslations etc. please let me know and excuse me. 🙏

Crow Card Story pt1
!!!TRANSLATIONS ARENT 100% CORRECT SINCE I DONT KNOW JAPANESE!!!!!
Tumblr media
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.

DREAM MEISTER THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY
Tumblr media
RICHE PAST #1
On vacation from the Gastronomy guild, I find myself unusually alone...
I’m spending my vacation visiting our grandparents who run a winery. Though I suppose since it’s my day off, and I’m alone, I should be calling them “my” grandparents.
My grandparents offer me a warm welcome, just like they always have, and will continue to do.
RICHE : Grandpa, Grandma. It's been a while.
RICHE'S GRANDMOTHER : Oh, you've come! Come on in! We've been looking forward to your visit, you sweet, dear boy!
RICHE'S GRANDFATHER : Indeed, you're looking quite spiffy. Quite a change from back when you were just a boy.
RICHE'S GRANDMOTHER : Oh, nevermind that, Riche has always been serious about anything he set his mind to.
RICHE'S GRANDMOTHER : Even when you helped out at the winery, you always put your best foot forward and were constantly learning and researching many new things each and every day.
RICHE : Yes. I want to thank you, Grandpa, Grandma. It's because of my time spent helping out here that I am who I am now.
RICHE'S GRANDFATHER : Yes. Yes. You first starting working here about six years ago, if memories serves correctly. Ah, this feels nostalgic.
We reminiscine about many things for a long time after that.
RICHE : (Grandpa’s right...)
RICHE : (If you’d asked me back then, I’d never have dreamed of turning out this way...)
-FLASHBACK-
Ten years ago…
Tumblr media
THUG 1 : Argh!
RICHE : Tsk... You never learn, huh? You wanna go again?
THUG 1 : S-Sorry!
RICHE : Speak up! I can't hear you mumbling like that. Should I make you speak louder?
THUG 2 : Eek! S-Sorry...
RICHE : You're apologizing to the wrong guy!
THUG 1 & 2 : W-Were sorry f-f-for… trying… trying to mug you!!
SCHOOLBOY : Th-Thank you...
RICHE : Jeez, don't ever try stealing from anyone again, got it?
THUG 1 & 2 : Yes, sir!
DELINQUENT 1 : As expected of Richie-Boy!
DELINQUENT 2 : Did you see their faces? They were terrified!
DELINQUENT 3 : There's no one who can rival Richie around here anymore!
You see… Back in those days… I was quite a bit more rebellious than I am now...
I’d spend my days getting rid of troublemakers like bullies and shoplifters, one after another.
Don’t misunderstand. It’s not like I had any righteous sense of justice. The reason I did such things was simple...
Tumblr media
My brother Kuchen was a natural at making desserts. His chocolate was second to none…
And my brother Cuit could run a kitchen like no other.
Compared to my amazing brothers, I was nothing special. I had no talents. No prospects.
By virtue of being the youngest brother, I was loved by default. Cherished. And I felt incredibly guilty being so loved and offering so little. Dealing with the miscreants out on the street was my way of dealing with that.
DELINQUENT 1 & 2 & 3 : We'll follow you to the ends of the earth, Riche!!
Before I knew it, the delinquents around town were beginning to look up to me, almost as a leader. But one...
SCHOOLBOY : U-Um, th-thanks for helping me! Can I do something for you…? In return I mean…?
RICHE : Nah, you don’t need to thank me. Oh, but it is that time...
SCHOOLBOY : "Time"?
DELINQUENT 1 : He means it’s time for him to go home. Richie-Boy here has a curfew.
DELINQUENT 2 : Even as a delinquent, he's so serious~
RICHE : It’s not about meeting a curfew. And I’d hardly consider myself a delinquent... But, yeah, if I keep talking, I'll be late. See ya!
I take off at a sprint, humming to myself as I make my way home…
Tumblr media
RICHE : Cuit! I’m back! What's for dinner tonight?
CUIT : Welcome back, Riche. It's beef stew today. Dessert is chocolate mousse made by Kuchen himself.
RICHE : Awesome! Sounds amazing!
KUCHEN : Don’t you ever get tired of acting like that? Day in and day out?
CUIT : Hehe. Go on, go wash your hands.
RICHE : Okay!
No matter how bloody the fight, I made sure to always, without fail, make it home before the Sun went down.
Because I knew... that the dishes my brothers had put so much effort into making were waiting for me back home…

DREAM MEISTER THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY

MERRY ROSE PAST #1
EMMA : That marks the last of the deliveries. Thank you to the pair of you for your hard work!
ADEL : Honestly, there’s nothing more troublesome than working on an in-seam…
MERRY ROSE : Seriously, seriously! Ahh, I'm so tired…
EMMA : Mm…
Merry Rose gives a casually languid stretch, arms reaching out, hand inadvertently brushing against Adel.
ADEL : Hey, be careful! Watch where your putting those hands, Merry Rose!
ADEL : Your soft, delicate hand, as graceful as a white fish, completely enthralls those who touch it!
MERRY ROSE : Right, my apologies. Though… It must be said… It does seem to be highly effective, does it not~?
ADEL : Honestly you need to pay better attention. I won’t be able to bear it once if you manage to charm someone else…
EMMA : Yeah… It’s definitely having an effect on Adel…
This is the power of Merry Rose's peculiar constitution, 'Enthrallment.' The pheromones in the flowers growing on Merry Rose’s arm charm those around him. The effect is at its strongest through direct contact. Even the likes of Adel fall under its influence. Much to Adel’s malcontent.
MERRY ROSE : Haha, well I’m glad it doesn't work on you, Em--... Hm?
EMMA : Merry Rose?
MERRY ROSE : This fragrance…
EMMA : W-Wait! Merry Rose! Where are you going?!
ADEL : Stop right there, Merry Rose! You can’t go leaving me behind— I'll chase you to the ends of the earth!
EMMA : Adel, you really need to calm down!
Tumblr media
MERRY ROSE : ......
EMMA : Merry Rose, what's gotten into you all of a sudden? Is-- Is there something about this flower.
MERRY ROSE : Mmh. You see~... This is the place where we collided with Destiny…
EMMA : Collided with Destiny?
MERRY ROSE : You see, this country, Bloomeria, is actually my hometown.
EMMA : Wait, really?
MERRY ROSE : Yeah, I don’t really have any sentimental attachment to it or anything. But...
Merry Rose, with a wry smile, gazes at the flower blooming on his left arm, the source of his enchantment.
MERRY ROSE : My encounter with… ‘this’... Is something I could never forget, not even if I wanted to…
Tumblr media
…I was never good at staying still. Even when I was little. I used to play outside until the sun went down each and every day…
…So it was only natural, then that I’d end up sporting a lot of cuts and bruises, but well, that's just what kids do…
…As my parents would always say, 'It's better for kids to be so energetic!'. They would laugh while cleaning my wounds…
Which brings us to the day of Destiny Itself… My friend and I, so caught up in our adventurous spirits, trespassed into a flower garden in complete disregard of the warning sign branded… 'No Entry.'
BOY : Look at all the flowers blooming here! I’ve never seen so many beautiful flowers before!
MERRY ROSE : Then let's make it a competition : Whoever finds the weirdest flower, wins!
BOY : Then, I’m gonna win!
…That eagerness would become our downfall...
As we flitted around the flower garden, we accidentally disturbed a tree housing a beehive, and ended up fleeing in panic.
BOY : Rose, run faster!
MERRY ROSE : I’m trying!
MERRY ROSE : Ahh!!
BOY : R-Rose! Are you okay!?
MERRY ROSE : ……….
BOY : Whoa! Rose, you're bleeding! Your arm is bleeding! We need to get you to a doctor!
CARETAKER  : Hey, you kids!! Didn't you see the sign!? 'No Entry'!!
BOY : Crap, it's the caretaker!
MERRY ROSE : Too late! We gotta keep running!
In the end… I didn’t get the cut on my arm treated until I finally returned home...
If only I had sought out as a doctor at the time… Maybe things would have been different...

DREAM MEISTER AND THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY
Tumblr media
CYRUS PAST #1
CYRUS : .............
I was alone in the cathedral, accompanied for a time only by the echoes of my sharpening blade.
Before long, I began to sense someone else's presence, prompting me to place down the whetstone.
CYRUS : Good work today, Captain.
ALEX : Ah, apologies for the interruption. You can continue if you like.
CYRUS : No, I was just about to finish anyway.
ALEX : Hm. It’s an impressive sword, no matter how many times I lay my eyes on it.
ALEX : Despite having been used for many a generation, its fierce shine only seems to glow brighter rather than diminish.
CYRUS : Yes. It's a precious sword passed down from my father.
CYRUS : The last battle was intense, so I'm just taking care of it.
ALEX : There are many blacksmiths who want to wield their skills for you, did you know that?
CYRUS : Yes. But I will continue to use this sword. I believe that is… My duty.
As I gaze at the newly sharpened sword, memories of distant days come flooding back.
Taking me back to the day I first received this blade. And the journey of me and my… "brother"... thus far…
-FLASHBACK-
Tumblr media
I was born into a prestigious family in Alstria, known for producing the highest caliber of knights for many a generation.
That said, I myself was a quiet child who preferred books and art...
Still, in accordance with the family motto that "Knights shall obey the will of the Dream King, protect the weak, and cherish peace…" I was soon placed into sword training.
Along with my twin brother, Emilio…
EMILIO : Hehe, I won again, didn't I!
CYRUS : Yeah. Looks like I’m no match for you, brother.
EMILIO : You’re too kind, Cyrus. I think you’re holding back. You’re not putting all your weight into your attacks, are you?
CYRUS : That is not my intention, but...
Emilio’s talent as a knight had blossomed from a very early age.
It wasn’t that I lacked as an older brother compared to Emilio's rapidly improving swordplay.
More over, it was simply that I admired him. Idolized him.
MOTHER : Cyrus, Emilio. It's time for your sword practice.
Tumblr media
EMILIO : Alright!
EMILIO : Today was all about history, right? I’ve always preferred hands on training myself.
EMILIO : But if there's anything I don't understand, I can always ask Cyrus later.
CYRUS : Precisely. And I can always improve my swordsmanship with you at any time.
EMILIO : Hehe, leave it to me~
EMILIO : Hey Cyrus. Let's become legendary knights together.
CYRUS : ...........Yeah…
EMILIO : No one can match my strength or your smarts. Together we will fell even the greatest of evils!
CYRUS : You might just be able to do that all alone.
EMILIO : But it'll be better with you by my side!
Just as I was for him, Emilio was my rock. My support.
Our parents were strict, yet kind, and with my younger brother Emilio always by my side…
Fool I was as a young child to believe that our happiness would remain, unchanged, forever…

SEVEN CHARACTER CARD #1
EMMA : (Alright, that's done...)
Having finished the last of the preparations for opening the casino, I glanced over the brightly lit floor.
I am currently working as the guild keeper for the guild operating here, Primus Club.
YMIR : I’m gonna have to get going. We have some important guests coming today.
VICTOR : I should get to my station, too. I really hope the new cocktails prove popular.
EMMA : Good luck to you both!
With ties to illegal organizations at risk of drawing attention to and from the Federation, it is a guild largely left to its own devices.
There are many peculiar Meisters here, but perhaps the one who stands out most is Seven…
SEVEN : ..................
EMMA : (That's Seven. He seems a bit lost.)
EMMA : Seven, is something wrong?
SEVEN : Who are you?
EMMA : You don’t remember?
SEVEN : Right, the bartender…
EMMA : No that’s Victor. I'm Emma, the guild keeper.
SEVEN : Emma, the guild keeper. Got it. I’ll remember that.
EMMA : (How many times have we had this exchange...)
EMMA : By the way, are you looking for something? I can help if you want.
SEVEN : ...I'm looking for my lighter.
SEVEN : Without it, I can't smoke.
EMMA : Did you drop it somewhere on the way to your station?
SEVEN : Maybe.
EMMA : Do you have any idea where you might have dropped it?
SEVEN : ................
EMMA : Seven? Um, if there's anything I can do...
SEVEN : Hm?
EMMA : (This conversation isn't going anywhere...!)
??? : The lighter is in your right pocket.
Emma : Huh?
Turning towards the voice coming from behind us, I saw Len looking on in annoyance.
Tumblr media
SEVEN : The right pocket.
SEVEN : Found it. This is my lighter.
LEN : That’s where you always keep it.
Len : And don’t light your cigarette here. The smoking area is over there!
SEVEN : Got it.
Having been instructed by Len, Seven slowly walks in the direction Len pointed.
LEN : It's time for opening, and you're wasting time chatting. What a nuisance...
EMMA : Thank you, Len. You take really good care of Seven.
LEN : Who said I was taking care of him? Fucking idiot!
LEN : Anyway... if you're gonna start calling yourself a guild keeper, you better keep a tight hold on Seven's reins.
EMMA : I think “reins” is a bit… Extreme… But you’re right.
EMMA : I still really don’t know much about  Seven. I need to talk to him more.
LEN : Then I'll leave today's care to you.
EMMA : Huh?
LEN : Don’t worry. Seven won't cause any trouble. Just keep an eye on him, Guild Keeper.
EMMA : (Looks like I’m being forced into this, but it’s as good an opportunity as any...)
With that in mind, I approached Seven once more, who was now gazing into the large aquarium displayed on the wall.
Tumblr media
SEVEN : Is it dinner time?
EMMA : Oh, no. Not yet.
SEVEN : I see... I'd like some spaghetti alle vongole.
While lighting a new cigarette, Seven continues to gaze at the fish.
EMMA : Do you… take care of those fish, Seven?
SEVEN : No... I’m just watching them...
SEVEN : ...Would you like to watch with me?
I approach Seven and stand next to him, joining him as we watched the aquarium together.
EMMA : ......................
SEVEN : .......................
EMMA : (What is even happening right now…?)
Unable to bear the awkwardness any longer, I turn my gaze from the fish back to Seven.
EMMA : (I can’t believe how awkward this is...)
Seven is apparently a notoriously renowned gambler in the underworld from days gone by.
He has a lot of history with Camus, but I can't imagine it with how Seven is currently...
EMMA : ...Huh? Seven your cigarette! Your catching yourself on fire!
SEVEN : Ah... it's shining so brightly…
EMMA : Q-Quick, we need to put it out before it burns through your coat, and--
EMMA : Phew, are you okay?
SEVEN : You reacted so quickly. You’re a hard worker. 
EMMA : Oh, um, thank you…?
Seven extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray placed by the aquarium, and proceeded to clap in applause of my… success in putting the fire out…?
I don’t know. Throughout his consistently tranquil responses, I just found myself increasingly bewildered…

DREAM MEISTER & THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY
Tumblr media
ALEX (Make a Wish on This Holy Night) CHARACTER CARD #1
The majestic city in which the angels reside is draped in a thick layer of pure white snow. It's a beautiful sight. 
ALEX : We'll meet back up at the Inn when the sun sets. 
EMMA : Understood! 
HARRIET : In that case, I'll be taking my leave now. Keep in mind that there is a candle-floating ceremony tonight, so make sure you think of a wish before it begins. Make the wish something that spreads love and positivity! Oh, I'll make sure to tell my family you say hi! 
EMILIO : I'll be off too. See you later, Emma.
EMMA : Yes, enjoy your day, Emilio. 
With that, Harriet headed off to visit with his family and Emilio went out to explore the city by himself. Leaving me alone with Alex. 
ALEX : Hmm...A wish...I can't think of anything to wish for...
EMMA : Neither can I. But, we'll have to think of something before the ceremony.
Alex, Emilio, and I were visiting Harriet's hometown, Arbitro. The city was bustling with angels and tourists alike, all excited for tonight's ceremony. 
Tumblr media
Our reason for visiting was due to Chevalier Church being renovated. Due to the construction work, the Chevalier Knights who could afford it were taking a week-long vacation. 
As we gazed at the snow-covered city of Arbitro, Alex narrowed his eyes in deep contemplation.
EMMA : (It's so nice to see Alex in casual wear for a change.)
ALEX : Is something the matter?
EMMA : Oh, it's nothing important. It's just...Being in another country with everyone, especially with you, feels like a very special experience. 
ALEX : Haha. Now that you mention it, it does feel special. I suppose I should thank Harriet. Without his invitation, I would have never witnessed this beautiful snowscape or that lovely outfit you are wearing.
EMMA : !!
ALEX : Also, without your suggestion to take a break, I'd likely still be working on paperwork right now. So, thank you.
EMMA : You don't have to thank me, Alex. I'm just happy to spend time with you.
ALEX : Now then, Emma, what would you like to do until the ceremony? 
EMMA : Hmm...I haven't decided yet. For now, I think I'd like to explore the city.
Tumblr media
ALEX : I see.
EMMA : Is something wrong?
ALEX : It's just been a while since I've had a break from my duties. So I was pondering how I'd like to spend it. I have no clue where to begin.
EMMA : So that's why you have that look on your face.
ALEX : Oh my, you noticed?
EMMA : It's really easy to read your expression when you aren't wearing your mask, Alex. 
ALEX : Haha. You have quite the observational skills. I wonder if you'd have been able to see through me if I were wearing my mask.
EMMA : (Perhaps I should suggest he come with me to explore the city? But, if he never gets a vacation away from Chevalier Church he might want to spend it alone...)
Just as I was debating asking him to come along, he spoke up,
ALEX : If you're willing, I would love to explore the city with you until we meet up with Harriet and the others for the ceremony. 
EMMA : I'd love that!

DREAM MEISTER & THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY

KAI - VOICE COLLECTION
"Ugh. Professor Est's assignment is so incredibly difficult. It's giving me a headache."
"Hey, you feeling okay? You're not pushing yourself too hard, are you?"
"Take a break today, it'll be fine."
"If you ever feel unwell, don't hesitate to rely on me."
"I'll make sure you recover properly."
"How's your health? Your body is your most valuable asset."
"If you feel any discomfort, let me know."
"Don't push yourself too hard. I'll heal everyone. Radiant light."
"Damn…I still have a lot to learn."
"We should make some medicine together later. I'll make sure to heal you properly."
"This is the first time Magia Seminar has ever had a Guild Keeper. If you ever run into any problems, just let me know.
"Leave injuries and illnesses to me."
"Don't neglect your efforts to stay healthy, okay?"
"You've really settled into the guild. Your support is great, I'm relying on you."
"Watching you makes me feel like I can't lose. It's seriously motivating…Keep up the good work!"
"The desire to help someone is the same for both doctors and Guild Keepers right? So many you and I will get along well."
"Between lectures and patient treatment, there's a mountain of things to do, but we can't afford to stop here."
"As long as you're here, I can chase my dreams without hesitation."
"Alright, let's start another day of medical care!"
"If you're not feeling well, it throws me off too. That's why I want you to let me nurse you back to health."
"Taking a leisurely stroll is good for your health. How about going for a walk today, Emma?"
"Ah, it's been a while since I took a walk! Let's have a good dinner tonight and get to bed early…"
"I've got quite a few piercings, you know. Even though I'm a doctor. Do you think it's a bit too flashy?"
"Did it hurt getting my piercings? Not at all."
"My piercings are like my good luck charms. I try not to lose them, but sometimes they vanish and it gets me all worried."
"Actually my little sister bought me these piercings. Pretty cool, right?"
"Could it be that you're thinking about getting a piercing too? If you do, make sure to disinfect properly."
"If you're scared, I can give you a piercing myself. I know how to make it painless."
"Hobbies, huh? That's a sudden one. Well, I enjoy going on little food adventures."
"I like hanging out with Ange. Even though she doesn't like me that much. At least I'm more liked than Sion, right?"
"I'm really into card games too. People often say it makes me childish, but what can I say, I like what I like."
"But you know, the best thing is when I'm learning with the others at Magia Seminar. Like when we decipher Sensei's cryptic lessons, or I mess around with Sion. It's a blast."
"Now that you're here, it's even more fun."
"It's kind of unsettling when someone's checking your pulse, right? Oh, wait, is that just me?"
"Your arm is pretty slender, isn't it? Are you eating properly? If I put too much pressure, it might just snap."
"You want me to check more? Is it that much fun for you? Haha, sometimes you act like a kid."
"Here, let me see your wrist. Huh? Did your pulse just speed up a bit? Why is that?"
"Your face is kinda red, too…Do you have a cold? Hmm…Doesn't seem like it."
"Doing this…It reminds me of the old n' days when I used to wander around aimlessly just for fun. Huh? Oh, I'll tell you about it sometime."
"Ah, I've been sitting in the clinic all day, so it feels nice to stretch my body. Alright, where are we heading today?"
"Huh? Is my hat a bit crooked? Weird. I thought I was wearing it like I always do. Anyway, thanks."
"Hats are pretty cool, right? They can hide bedhead in an instant, and, most importantly, they look stylish!"
"Whenever you reach up to fix my hat it's so cute. Haha."
"Heh, my bad. From now on, I'll squat down so you can fix my hat. Thanks."
"You know what, since we're talking about it, let's buy you a hat! We'll pick one out together!"
"Ah, thanks for the massage, you're a lifesaver, seriously. I've had a string of consultations lately, and I was getting really stiff and uncomfortable."
"Ah, your thumb is hitting just the right spot, right below the shoulder-blades."
"Whoa, that feels…Mmm…You're quite skilled, aren't you?"
"Your arm must be getting tired, right? Let's switch and I'll give you a massage. Just so you know, I'm really good at this."
"Damn, you're super tense. Been accumulating stress, huh? Even if you're busy, don't push yourself too hard."
"I've been relying on you for everything. I'll gladly give you a shoulder massage anytime. Just ask without hesitation, okay?"
"Thanks. Mmm…It's incredibly tasty! Want a taste of mine?"
"Hey, aren't you a bit too close? It's not that I dislike it, but well, it's just making me a bit nervous…"
"You must be tired. I can tell just by looking at your face. Don't push yourself, please."
"Being with you is a really soothing experience."
"Hey, what do you say we don't head home just yet? Let's take a detour."
"Sorry, I just don't feel like letting you go just yet. I'd like to spend a little more time alone together."
"You're quite assertive sometimes, you know? It's not that I mind, but…I can't help but worry about if you're this intimate with anyone other than me."
"Your hand is so soft…I didn't mean it that way!"
"You don't want to let go? That's a cute thing to say…Alright, let's keep walking hand in hand."
"Normally, I wouldn't let anyone touch my eyes, but with you it's perfectly fine. It's really strange, isn't it?"
"What's that? My eyes are beautiful? Aren't you going too far with that flattery?"
"I have dark circles under my eyes? Well, it doesn't bother me. Besides, even if I am tired, you're here to comfort me."
"Make sure you only show this side to me, okay? I don't want anyone else seeing you so defenseless."
"You know, being with you really lifts my spirits. I'd like to be your personal doctor. Haha, what am I even saying!"
"Wait, is this…A birthday present?! Even though you're so busy, you still made time to get me something? Oh man, I'm so happy I can't help but smile."
"Listen, Emma, a person only has two arms…Haha, I appreciate it, but really, it's too much."
Gift (Likes) : "Oh, I love this! My spirits just went through the roof! Thanks a bunch!"
Gift (Likes) : "Wait, you got this for me?! Woah! I'm honestly so happy about it. Um, how should I return the favor?"
Gift (Neutral) : "Oh, what's this? You got it for me? Thanks, I'll gladly take it!"
Gift (Dislikes) "Uh, well…You know, I was hoping for something a bit different. Did you maybe forget something?"
-
KAI : Hey, Oboro, there's a dried fruit mentioned in this book, but I'm having trouble with the drying process. Can you help me out?
OBORO : Before relying on others, did you make an effort to research it yourself? I won't lend my wisdom to a slacker like you.
-
KAI : I'll make sure I get a better score on the next assignment than you do…! Prepare yourself, Sion!
SION : You never get tired of saying that, do you? How about learning at least one magic circle while you're busy bickering with me?
-
KAI : Huh!? Est-sensei, you put chili peppers in the coffee again…? Consuming too many stimulants isn't good for you! It's not healthy!
EST : Actually, I feel much better with a little spice…Why don't you try it, Kai? If you get injured, let me know right away.
-
KAI : Don't slow me down, Sion!
SION : That's my line, you single-celled organism!
-
KAI : I'll heal you. So show them what you're made of.
OBORO : I'm not thrilled about this.
-
KAI : Hey Sion, you have a scratch. Let me heal it.
SION : Heal your own injuries first!

OSCAR - VOICE COLLECTION
"I desire a colossal stomach that could devour all the food in the whole world. Don't you share the same sentiment?"
"What does fine dining mean to you personally? If you wish to be in the world of gastronomy, you should always ask yourself that."
"Food is the essence of human life...Obtaining rich food can be deemed the ultimate luxury." 
"What is your favorite meal? Come on, speak up. It will help me understand what kind of person you are."
"Well, let us savor this."
"Well, did you come across any rare ingredients?"
"Since you wish to get involved in the Gastronomy Guild, why not start by increasing your daily meal intake?"
"I see, your palate has become quite refined, yet there is still a long way to go...Keep improving. I have high expectations of you."
"Is that your choice of wine? I see...You've learned well. No need to serve it, you should savor it with me."
"It's nice to dine in the sunlight. Different scenery can be like a seasoning that enriches the meal."
"Your attitude toward food is refreshing. It makes me more excited for what is to come. I'm counting on you, Guild Keeper."
"Can you satisfy me?"
"May it become a cornerstone of gourmet dining."
"A meal shared with someone. Hm. It's been such a long time, I had forgotten that feeling." 
"This is a dish often served at weddings. It's intended to deepen the bond between two people."
"It's nice to take a walk, but is it really worth my time?"
"Emma, I'm sorry, but I have a huge pile of work I must tackle."
"Inspection, dining, and tasting - There's a lot to do for the sake of fine gourmet experiences. My schedule is packed up to the minute again this week."
"I also have plans to inspect a suburban market where they sell both domestic and international vegetables."
"If you wish to know the details of my work, take a look at this stack of documents. It's quite a daunting task, isn't it?"
"Being diligent in your duties is an admirable thing. Why not accompany me on all of my inspections today? It will help you deepen your knowledge of cuisine."
"Well then, let's have dinner right away. Hm? Aren't you feeling hungry?"
"Did you visit the restaurant near the castle? I've been there before as well. It's a small humble place, but it has a charming atmosphere."
"Ooh, the street stalls are selling such unique delicacies. Consider me intrigued. Let's go check it out." 
"Hmm, listening to your story is making me hungry."
"Well, shall we go and dine? Take me to the place where you found that delicious food you mentioned."
"You like the way I dress? Well, as the leader of this guild I must dress appropriately. However, my sole focus is on the food."
"Honestly clothing doesn't matter much to me. It's not worth complimenting."
"If you have the time to look at my clothes, you have the time to pursue your career in gastronomy. However, if you attend a restaurant with a dress code, make sure to wear the right attire."
"Don't excessively flatter me."
"It's true that the fabric of my clothes is of high quality, but...Hmm...I suppose you do have a discerning eye for these things."
"Did you help in harvesting the orchard? I swear that I can smell the scent of lemons on you."
"You shouldn't concern yourself with me eating too much. I understand the difference between gourmet dining and overindulgence." 
"So, which restaurant shall we head to? If you're going out with me, it's obvious we'll be dining."
"We didn't have a meal, but it was still a nice break."
"It seems that new restaurants are popping up left and right. How about accompanying me on my next inspection?"
"Dinner? That's not a bad suggestion. I had planned to visit at least eight restaurants before returning to the guild today."
"Not many invite me out to eat as easily as you do. It's a refreshing change."
"However, inviting me out to eat...You must have quite the confidence in the restaurant you chose."
"If you're unsure if your restaurant is up to par, I can easily get reservations elsewhere. Just tell me."
"Exercise? I see...Since I tend to eat a lot, it might not be a bad idea to increase my physical activity."
"Hiking is a good choice. It's not only exercise, but we can also enjoy the scenery. However, if our goal is to burn calories, perhaps swimming or running would be a more efficient choice."
"You are constantly on the move more than anyone else. I'm sure that provides enough exercise for you."
"If you'd like, you could join me on my ingredient hunts. I must warn you, they get pretty intense."
"Were you attempting to keep up with my pace? Even Walter struggles to keep up with me, so...My apologies."
"In the future, there might be occasions where I'll have you accompany me to formal restaurants or banquets." 
"Keep in mind, it's not the nobility that deserve your respect. It is the chefs who serve them and the food itself."
"It seems you overslept this morning. The back of your hair is a tangled. Here. Stay still and I'll fix it for you."
"You'd like to go food tasting, huh? That does sound like fun. With you there at my side, it might taste even better."
"Do you have something specific you'd like to eat? If you have any preferences, I'll do my best to accommodate them." 
"Whether we have a meal or not...Spending time with you is oddly relaxing. It's like savoring a fragrant tea."
"Food to me, is life itself, above everything else. However, your presence is too..."
"Was my scarf askew? Sorry about that. I tend to be neglectful of everything except for food."
"My scarf bears the Gastronomy Guild emblem. You could say that the emblem is a symbol of my life. Having it created by hand cost more than buying a house."
"If you like my scarf so much, I might have one made for you someday."
"You don't need to be so deferential. I have taken a liking to you, and the gifts are a reward for your hard work."
"Your modesty is one of your virtues, but if you're going to assist me at this guild, I think it might be smart for you to grow some thicker skin."
"You'd like to play with my hair? So long as it doesn't disrupt my meal, feel free to do as you like. Just make sure to securely fasten it afterwards." 
"It would be appreciated if you showed as much passion for the food as you do for me."
"I can't help but feel uneasy when you stare at me like that. If you have something to say, speak up."
"No matter how long you stare at me, it won't fill your stomach."
"You seem like you want to say something, but unfortunately, I'm not so brilliant that I can read your mind."
"I can discern the state of ingredients easily, but...It seems I still can't see into your heart." 
"Who I share a meal with has never concerned me before...However, dining with you is a truly enriching experience."
"You want to become a Guild Keeper worthy of my time? That is the best thing you could ever say. I have high expectations of you."
"Lately, you've been thinking a lot about food, haven't you? That's a good thing. It's exactly what you need to do to support someone like me."
"Emma, I want to invite you to dine with me. My gourmet experiences are incomplete without you."
"Oh, right. It's my birthday. I've been so busy, I forgot about it. Thank you for your gift, it has made it feel real."
"There's a thing called moderation. Don't go overboard. I can't accept any more gifts."
Gift (Liked) : Oh, you're giving this to me...? Well done, Emma. You truly are my Guild Keeper.
Gift (Liked) : You have every reason to be confident in your choice. You have managed to satisfy me.
Gift (Neutral) : This is for me? Hm...It's not that bad. I guess I will accept it.
Gift (Disliked) : This is a gift for me? Don't make me laugh. In the future, choose your gifts more wisely.
Gift (Disliked) : We've spent so much time together, and yet you still don't know me. Do I need to teach you?
-
OSCAR : Feld, try this dish. As my Black Fairy, you need to refine your palate as well.
FELD : Ugh! You're relentless, aren't you?! I don't recall asking you to teach me about food!
-
OSCAR : Everything I do is for the sake of gourmet dining.
FELD : That's seriously all you care about, isn't it!?
-
OSCAR : Is there any dish you'd prefer to eat tonight?
FELD : Even in battle you have these discussions?
-
OSCAR : This time, try making chocolate using Kudzu leaves, Kuchen. You should be capable of that, correct?
KUCHEN : Huh? Those are incredibly sour leaves? Are you in your right mind, Oscar? ...However, it does sound like an intriguing idea. I'll get right on it.
-
OSCAR : Hmm...Your dessert is truly delicious.
KUCHEN : There's no way it could be bad.

DREAM MEISTER AND THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY
Tumblr media
MAIN STORY : CHAPTER 3 PART 16
Camus's hand trembled as it grasped the gun. His face paler than the moon itself. His stance so unsteady it seemed he could collapse at any moment.
EMMA : Camus...?
MAM : Camus has… more than his fair share of trauma when it comes to guns. Even just holding one makes him tremble like this.
EVERYONE (EXCEPT SEVEN) : Huh!?
MAM : It was that duel wasn’t it? That caused all of this.
CAMUS : Yes. I lost my left eye in the most disgraceful duel in the history of the Bloody Lady and, ultimately, it led to my expulsion from the organization.
CAMUS : Since then, I've been afraid of guns. It's the truth.
It was then that everyone turned to look at Seven…
SEVEN : ...................Heheheheh……
SEVEN : Hahahahaha!!
EMMA : Se-Seven...?
EMMA : (Could it be...)
━FLASHBACK━
EMMA : If he adores her, why did he leave?
VICTOR : I heard that he was kicked out as punishment for failing them. It’s a harsh world, I guess. I’ll tell you more about that when I get the chance. 
━END FLASHBACK━
EMMA : (So all this is because of a duel with Seven!?)
SEVEN : This won't do... I can't just sit back and watch this.
Tumblr media
SEVEN : Let me take over the match.
LEN : Huh? What do you mean?
SEVEN : I finally remembered, Camus... That match with you. It was so incredibly intense.
SEVEN : You had my heart pounding, my guts churning...! Only for it to end in a misfire...
SEVEN : This time’ll be different. A duel bigger than anything we've ever seen, risking all our lives and dreams on a single bullet!
SEVEN : Camus, hand me the gun. I'll take your place. Let me experience the ultimate thrill and decide your dreams for you!
VICTOR : W-Wait a minute, Seven!
LEN : This guy's nuts! Hey, stop that, Seven, what the fuck’s gotten into you!? Drop the theatrics!
YMIR : That's fine by me...
VICTOR : Ymir!?
YMIR : What? Seven seems to be far more focused than Camus right now. And he's clearly had success in the past, no?
GRANDFLAIR : This is getting complicated, what do we do?
CROW : We'll leave it to Camus. It's not our decision to make.
EMMA : (Camus...)
SEVEN : I’m waiting, now hand over the gun! If you can't do it, then I will.
CAMUS : The bet has already been made. The players must remain the same.
SEVEN : ........!!
CAMUS : Whether I’m capable of pulling the trigger is thrilling in its own right, is it not?
CAMUS : And... I will definitely take your eye in a rematch one of these days. So, for now, behave yourself.
SEVEN : Tsk! Haha, alright. I’m looking forward to it.
Speaking his last thoughts, Seven stepped back and in an instant seemed to slip back into his lazy, characteristic, sway.
MAM : What a nuisance... After all that racket, it came down to you anyway.
CAMUS : Yes, I apologize. By the way, Mam, if I may. I have one last thing to ask, despite the shame.
MAM : ........Hm?
Tumblr media
CAMUS : ...My secret has been exposed. There's no need to pretend anymore.
CAMUS : So I want to say something to her.
EMMA : (Huh?)
MAM : I see. So you’re also in a difficult position.
MAM : It's important to say goodbye between lifetimes. Being a widow... it’s lonely.
CAMUS : Then, Emma, please accept this. Here.
EMMA : M-Me...?
As instructed I slowly approached Camus where he swiftly and suddenly embraced me with his long arms.
ALL : What!?
VICTOR & YMIR & REN : The fu--?
EMMA : U-Um?
EMMA : Camus, steady your mind...!
CAMUS : Thank you. With this, I know I'll be fine.
EMMA : ............Huh?
CAMUS : Now then, let's begin.
The duel was finally under way. Once, twice. And even on the third shot, no bullet was fired...
By the fourth round, it was Mam's turn, with little more than the click of the trigger echoing emptily.
CAMUS : The next round will decide it. As expected of you, Mam, you're brave.
MAM : Don't underestimate me, boy. If you've made up your mind for a game of roulette, then all that's left is to enjoy it 'til the very end.
CAMUS : Haha, there's the Mam I've known all my life. I admire your creed.
CAMUS : No matter how deep the darkness, may you always remain passionate and humane.
With trembling hands, Camus pressed the gun to his head. This was it, the moment when the match would be decided.
CAMUS : Mam, please remember. The Boss's words to never be trapped in darkness no matter what.
CAMUS : …You really shouldn't look so sad right now...
He pulled the trigger...
CLICK.
EMMA : (The fifth shot was a blank...! In that case...)
MAM : ...It's my loss…
The tense atmosphere eased, and a sigh of relief escaped. However—
SEVEN : The match isn't over... yet.
At the moment Seven muttered those words—
Mam snatched the gun from Camus's hand, pressing the barrel against her own temple.
MAM: It's only fair to see the match through to the end.
CAMUS: Mam, the wager was the Boss's position not your life.
MAM : I won't stand for it. After everything I’ve done how could I possibly face him again? — I've had enough!
Mam pulled the trigger, and a bullet fired through her.
Tumblr media
But it wasn't a bullet fired from the gun in Mam’s hand.
MAM: Ugh...!
JOE : Hahaha! How about that, my aim gets sharper every time!
ACE : You're so cool, big brother!
CROW & ITSUKI & GRANDFLAIR : The Dark Night Duo!
EMMA : Testament...!
Tumblr media
TESTAMENT : Haha... what a pointless match…
YMIR : Not at all. Sorry to say but your plan is ruined. Just now, Camus became the new Boss of The Bloody Lady.
TESTAMENT : Yes. Exactly as expected.
EMMA : What...!?
In the distance, we hear a terrifying roar accompanied by footsteps swiftly approaching us.
??? : Uurraaahhhhh!!!
CROW : Those are the guys they infected with the black powder.
━FLASHBACK━

ITSUKI : Ah, our old patients. I recognize more than a few faces...
NOAH : There must be dozens of them, this is bad.
TESTAMENT : I told them that Mam was trying to kill them.
KINGSLEYS MEMBER 1 : Bloody Lady, you bastards... You'll be done for before you know it!
KINGSLEYS MEMBER 2 : We'll get revenge for our fallen comrades!!
TESTAMENT : Haha, we're all having such a wonderful time now, aren't we?
BLOODY LADY MEMBER 1 : Ugh!
BLOODY LADY MEMBER 2 : Everyone open fire!!
EMMA : Wait, don't use those guns!!
My shout was in vain... Bloody Lady members opened fire using the guns they'd stored in the warehouse.
KINGSLEYS MEMBER 2 : Hahaha!
One by one. People hit by the bullets were swallowed by the black miasma, losing consciousness.
CROW : I'll stop them!
NOAH : Stop who? There's shooting on both sides!
CROW : Then we'll take them all out! Its the only way to keep them safe!

HIMMEL : Don't worry. We've recovered quite a bit.
HIMMEL : That said… Trying to purify this many people? It's reckless to say the least…
EMMA : But, we have to try! Let's lend them our strength!
