Chikage Utsuki SSR [MANKAI Glitter] To ARIES: Chikage Part 3

Chikage: …

Itaru: Ah, Senpai, good morning.

Chikage: … Is it the end of the world?

Itaru: Ha?

Chikage: It’s just… Chigasaki’s up early and got ready, I was wondering if you’ve stumbled upon the biggest gacha in your life or something.

Itaru: It’s work. I have to make a call… <Good morning. How’s the weather over there?>

Chikage: (English? Does he have a client overseas? Strange…) (Well, I guess I’ll get up too.)

Chikage: Morning.

Izumi: Good morning. Uh, why are you wearing a suit?

Chikage: I have work—

Izumi: Eh? You should be taking the day off today. Chikage-san, are you still asleep?

Chikage: …? (Off…?) (... It’s true. The calendar on my phone says I have the day off.) (Perhaps, this was the celestial sphere’s doing…?) (... It’s hard to believe the power of that celestial sphere.) (Haa… I’m not sure if I should take the day off today…)

Manager: Eh!? Oh alright, alright, yes yes! Pardon? Excuse me? What?[1]

Chikage: … Who’s the manager speaking with?

Izumi: An overseas business partner. There was a performance that Mankai did that they wanted to film.

Manager: Oh oh nice! Pardon? One more speaking! [1]

Chikage: Shall I take over?

Izumi: Nope. It’s Chikage-san’s day off today.

Tsuzuru: Uwa, what’s that language? Arabic… isn’t it? Uhhh…

Chikage: Something the matter, Tsuzuru.

Tsuzuru: This is a proposal from overseas. But I haven’t seen these letters before… what’s it saying?

Citron: They’re Cretan hieroglyphs! Mysterious characters carved on ancient stones!

Tsuzuru: Don’t use such letters for a proposal!

Chikage: This is— (This proposal was the one I was working on, why does Tsuzuru—)

Tsuzuru: Ah, don’t look, Chikage-san. You have the day off so please take it.

Chikage: (... So in return for me resting, everyone else is working?)

Masumi: Meow meow, I’ll give you. Wow love, love.

Sakuya: Waa, Masumi-kun’s been like this the whole morning…!

Masumi: I was told to by a client.

Chikage: (What is with this chaotic situation…)

Chikage: … (What an exhausting dream…)

Itaru: *sigh* … Morning already… Tired…

Chikage: … Y’know, I’m actually relieved to see your typical lazy self.

Itaru: Can you stop dissing me in the morning?

Chikage: Morning.

Sakuya: Good morning, Chikage-san!

Tsuzuru: Good morning.

Chikage: … Good. Everyone’s back to normal.

Tsuzuru: ? What do you mean?

Chikage: It’s nothing.

Izumi: Chikage-san, please eat the new curry tonight.

Masumi: If Chikage won’t eat it, I will.

Chikage: I’ll be a little late since there’s a meeting, but I’ll make sure to try it when I get home.

Sakuya: There’s probably not much we can do, but if you need help, please let us know!

Citron: Nothing’s impossible for us, Chikage!

Izumi: Agreed. Please rest once in a while.

Chikage: … Thanks. I appreciate the concern.

[1] He’s speaking in very broken english, but it’s in hiragana in the story without the arrow brackets like Itaru’s line earlier

Signs as Heracles' 12 labours

Aries: Nemeian Lion - Heracles' first labour. The lion resided in a cave and lured warriors in pretending to be an injured girl. Heracles tried to defeat him with arrows but since its golden fur was impenetrable it was impossible. So Heracles took his club and strangled the lion. With Athena's help he skinned the lion and took his fur as his cloak.

Taurus: Cretan Bull - Seventh labour. Minos let Heracles take the bull and offered him assistance but Heracle declined. He attacked the bull from the back and started strangling it but stopped before killing him. He captured him and sent him to Eurystheus.

Gemini: Lernaean Hydra - Second labour. Upon reaching the swamp where Hydra dwelt, Heracles used his cloak to cover himself from hydra's poisonous breath. He charged and cut one of its heads but 2 more grew from it. Seeing he cant win that way he called his nephew Iolaus to help. Iolaus came to an idea to use a firebrand to torch the heads after being cut off. So Heracles continued severing Hydra's heads while Iolaus cauterized the necks. In the end Heracles finally severed one mortal head that Hydra had and defeated her.

Cancer: Golden Apples of the Hesperides - Eleventh labour. Heracles had to retrieve golden apples that gave immortality to whomever ate it. Heracles sailed across the world again to the garden of the Hesperides. He encountered Atlas there (titan that was holding the sky). Heracles offered to hold the sky while Atlas fetched the apples for him. But when he returned Atlas refused to take the sky back. Heracles tricked him by agreeing to hold the sky from now on but only if Atlas holds it for one more minute, just until Heracles adjust his cloak. As soon as Atlas took the sky, Heracles escaped with apples.

Leo: Hind of Ceryneia - Third labour. He was supposed to capture Ceryneian hind which was considered to be faster than an arrow. Heracles chased the hind for a whole year. In some myths it is believed that he caught it while it was sleeping, and in others that he encountered Artemis and that she helped him out and forgave him for killing one of her sacred animals.

Virgo: Augean Stables - Fifth labour. Heracles had to clean up Augean's stables that hadn't been cleaned for over 30 years. He said he would clean it in just one day if he got 10th of all his livestock. Augean agreed and Heracles continued with his task. He re-routed two rivers Alpheus and Peneus and sent them straight through the stables. The rivers washed away all the filth.

Libra: Cattle of Geryon - Tenth labour. Heracles had to go to the end of the world to bring back the cattle from Geryon (he was a monster with 3 heads, 3 hearts and 3 set of limbs). When he got there he first encountered Orthus, the two-headed dog, and then Eurytion, Geryon's herdsman, he killed them both with his arrows. This alarmed Geryon and he confronted Haracles just as he was leaving with his cattles, but unfortunately he met the same faith as his employees.

Scorpio: Erymanthean Boar - Forth labour. He was suppoused to capture Erymanthean Boar and bring it back alive. Heracles wasn't sure how to do it so he consulted Chiron (centaur that taught all heroes). He told him to drive boar into thick snow, enabling him to run away and tie him then. Heracles did exactly as he was told and successfully captured the beast.

Sagittarius: Mares of Diomedes- Eight labour. They were flesh eating horses that Diomedes groomed. Heracles sailed with a band of volunteers that helped him lure them to the sea. While fighting Diomedes he left his companion Abderus to watch the horses. Unfortunately the boy was eaten and Heracles was in rage. He fed Diomedes to the horses and then founded the city of Abdera in honor of his late friend.

Capricorn: Stymphalian Birds - Sixth labour. They were man-eating birds with beaks of bronze and sharp metallic feathers they could launch at their victim. They settled on a lake from which they would fly over to local countrysides and destroy crops. Heracles couldn't get to them since they were too far away he had to find a way to make them fly. He mamaged that by banging at Hapheastus' rattle. The noise made the birds fly and Heracles shot them all with his arrows.

Aquarius: Capture Cerberus - Twelfth labour. Heracles had to go down to the Underworld and capture Cerberus, Hades' 3 headed guard dog. Heracles went to Hades first and asked for permission. Hades told him that he could have him if he can overpower the beast without any weapons. Heracles managed to wrestle down the dog and take him out of the Underworld.

Pisces: Belt of Hippolyta - Ninth labour. Heracles was supposed to bring back belt of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, daughter of Ares. By the time he got to her she was already impressed with all his exploits that she agreed to hand him over the belt. But disguised Hera started whispering to other Amazons telling them that Heracles was there to kill them. They believed them and Hippolyta attacked them. Heracles killed her and took her belt.
