[Translation] Skits of "Our magical party wiz you" and the staged reading ""A Mixer After the Mission"

Good day, everyone! I have translated the skits and the staged reading from the “Our magical party wiz you!” (Mahoawa) event on January 28-29th, 2024. It took me a while, and this is not the full translation for the 2-hour show. There are also Q&A activities involving seiyuus and some additional skits with characters. However, I translated all the skits featuring CaiOwe and the 20-minute main skit "A Mixer After the Mission" written by the devil Tsushimi Bunta!

Please feel free to share the link to the translation or screencap it to react.

Characters: Oz, Arthur, Mithra, Rutile, Cain, Owen, Snow

(The Day’s skit)

Owen: Hey, are you kidding me?

Mithra: That's my line.

Cain: Hey there, you two. Let's not start off on such a tense note, alright? What's going on?

Mithra: The thing I just had for lunch is called Napolitan pasta. This guy has more bacon in his bowl than mine, not fair at all.

Cain: More bacon? How nice!

Owen: That's not nice, comparing to that pudding he has. Mithra's pudding is bigger than mine.

Mithra: Obviously, because I eat faster than you.

Owen: You were just eating everything randomly, weren't you? Ah, I feel sorry for that pudding, being eaten by someone like you.

Mithra: So you're not giving up? How unsightly.

Owen: Hah? You want to die?

Mithra: Just what I want.

Owen: Cuore Memini–

Mithra: Athrim—

Cain: Wait, hold on!! Let's not start a fight out of nowhere! You'll wreck the place.

Rutile: Ah, how about this? Since we're in a theater, why not have a competition fitting this place?

Mithra: A competition fitting this place?

Rutile: Let's have the spirits of this land as judges. Since they love singing and art, we could have a poetry competition. What do you think, dear spirits? (The audience applauds)

Rutile: Thank you.

Mithra: Well, okay. I'm the strongest at writing poems.

Owen: I won't go along with your ridiculousness. Such a stupid game.

Mithra: Oh? Is it because you don’t have confidence?

Owen: Aren't you just led by the nose?

Cain: Please don't start a new round of quarrels, guys. Owen, if you're not interested…

Owen: Fine, I'll participate. With Mithra's brain, my victory is assured.

Sir Knight, let's start quickly *kick*

Cain: Ouch! Why did you suddenly kick me?!

The theme is “Winter”. Owen, you first!

Owen: Eh? Me?

Cain: 321, GO!

Owen: The…the winter sun…on top of the sky…turns into…a frozen white jade…

Rutile: Wow, what a beautiful imagery!

Owen: On the snow field…there's…a fluffy dog…but his fur sheds…and vanishes with the wind…

Cain: Ahhh, he was so fluffy, though.

Mithra: That's it? Well, no surprise that you're at this level

Rutile: But the first part was great! I couldn't have come up with “frozen sun”!

Cain: I also love fluffy dogs, they’re like winter. When you see your dog getting shaggy, you know winter's here. It's a shame his fur fell out.

Owen: Oh, you like that? Then why don't I turn you into a big hairless dog and throw you into an extremely cold place where it snows all the time?

Cain: Why do you come up with words to insult me so easily?!

Cain: Next theme is “Northern Wizards”. 321, GO!

Mithra: On the snow field…there is a fluffy dog.

Owen: Wait, don't copy me.

Cain: It’s even the same dog.

Mithra: Standing there is a creature more majestic than a dog, a huge crocodile... and the strongest and most fearsome, me...

Mithra: Hmmm, sounds weird. Rutile, you are up.

Rutile: Huh!? Uh...if you step on the shadow...

Owen: Hey hey, it'd be cheating to ask others for help, wouldn't it? Rutile, don't say more.

Rutile: I'm...I'm sorry. I can't resist answering when someone asks me...

Mithra: Huh? Is there a rule against asking others?

Cain: Well...no, there isn't. Sorry, I forgot to set rules. But I trust the spirits (audience) will judge fairly. Let's hear Rutile's first.

Rutile: Yes! Owen's expression was particularly poetic, and Mithra was great at involving others.

Cain: I see. Both had unique elements in their poems. What do the spirits think?

(The audience applauds)

Cain: I see. Congratulations, Owen and Mithra, you share the victory!

Rutile: Congratulations!

Mithra: Winning was too easy. Poetry seems like child's play.

Owen: You just won without a fight. Let's start over.

Cain: The spirits seem pleased, making the atmosphere livelier and more energetic here.

Owen: That means…

Mithra: Then...

Owen/Mithra: *fighting each other* Cuore Memini/Arthim!

(The Night’s skit)

Snow: You're back too. Just walking around, not bothering anyone and not killing anyone?

Owen: You think I'm Mithra? I don't do those things. *sound of chewing*

Cain: What are you eating?

Owen: Dango from a nearby stall. It's right over there, by the red gate.

Snow: You're right, it smells sweet and delicious.

Cain: I noticed it too when I passed by earlier today. But I was so full that I couldn't eat anymore, so I didn't buy any.

Owen: Because you had too much Napolitan pasta, didn’t you? What a glutton, ordering such a large portion.

Cain: I couldn't help it! It was so delicious. After that, I walked around the streets with Rutile for a long time and started feeling hungry again.

Hey, give me one.

Owen: The song of hot dango.

Cain: What?

Owen: If you want one, sing. This is a payback for making me do weird things during the day.

Cain: Are you still holding a grudge over that...? Eh…Impromptu singing? I've never done that without a drink...

Snow: How about this? They also sell hot drinks near the red gate. It's slightly sweet and tastes a bit like wine, but it's actually non-alcoholic.

Cain: Thanks. Ohhh, it smells good. Now this can set the mood I need...

Owen: Cuore Morito

Cain: Ugh!?

Snow: Owen!? What did you--

Cain: ....He he he...there...is a pile of hot dango...~

Snow: Cain!?

Cain: Dango dango~~ Taran taran tan tan~

Owen: He's started drunken dancing and singing now. How clumsy and amusing.

Snow: Dear! Did you cast a spell on Cain? That kid took just a sip and he's already drunk.

Cain: Ha, ha ha...Let's take off our clothes to dance and sing, everyone...

Owen: Do it, do it~

Snow: Wah!!! Wait--! Noscomnia!

Cain: What just happened?

Owen: What, we were just getting to the good part.

Snow: Phew, that was close. Are you okay, dear? You were only dancing and singing, don’t worry.

Cain: I can’t remember…..But then that means I fulfilled Owen’s request?

Owen: Well, you could say that. Here, I'll give you a dango, catch it. *throw it away*

Cain: Ah! Hey, don’t just toss dango around like that!

The staged reading "A Mixer After the Mission" written by Tsushimi Bunta

Arthur: Look, Lord Oz, there are fireworks lighting up the sunset sky.

Oz: Indeed.

Rutile: It seems people are setting off fireworks to celebrate the resolution of the recent event. How beautiful.

Cain: Strange occurrences took place at Granvelle Castle. Although very dangerous and tricky, fortunately, we managed to solve them successfully.

Snow: That's right, the people on the street are also very happy. Beautiful music is coming from the square, it feels delightful.

Oz: Indeed.

Snow: Ah, dear Oz, the young wizards are all very happy now. You should sometimes respond to them with something more enthusiastic, like "Wow! That's fantastic!"

Arthur: Just watching the fireworks with Lord Oz makes me happy enough. And is this music the same as the one played during the inauguration ceremony?

Cain: Yes, the sound of fireworks, the music from that day, and the laughter of the people. Just hearing them makes me feel like I've been transported back to the day of the inauguration ceremony.

Arthur: The sages and their wizards gathered on the terrace of Granville Castle and waved many times to the people.

Rutile: After that, a lot of things really happened. Time has really flown by since then. Being able to become so close to Lord Arthur, Uncle Mithra, and others is like a dream.

Speaking of which, where are Uncle Mithra and Mr. Owen?

Cain: Hmm? Oh, I don't see them either. Weird, they were with us just a moment ago.

Snow: Maybe they went to confirm "The Legendary Wind Passage"?

Arthur: What is "The Legendary Wind Passage"?

Snow: The land in this area is blessed by the wind spirit, thus strong winds blow sometimes. The most famous one is a passage where there are always violent storms. It is said that only the strongest wizard can pass through this legendary passage.

Arthur: So it’s the strongest passage?

Snow: Exactly, the strongest passage, literally as the words imply.

Cain: I'm pretty sure those two are competing to see who can fly through that passage faster.

Rutile: I am very confident in my broom-flying skills and would like to participate too...

Mithra: Arhtim

Arthur: They're back. Welcome back, Mr. Mithra, Mr. Owen.

Mithra: We're back.

Owen: Ugh, that was the worst.

Mithra: Oz, it is said that only the strongest wizard can pass through the wind passage - the strongest path, and I have conquered it. In other words, I'm the strongest. Your strongest throne has been taken away by me. How about that? Don't you want to say something?

Oz: Wow, that's fantastic.

Mithra: Huh?

Oz: Wow, that's fantastic.

Mithra: What's that?

Oz: Wow, that's—

Mithra: Shut up, you're noisy.

Arthur: Lord Oz, your level of agreement is truly superb.

Speaking of celebration, it seems that Lord Oz, Mr. Mithra, and Mr. Owen have never participated in a mixer.

Oz: Mixer?

Arthur: A mixer is to celebrate an encounter. If possible, how about holding one now? I feel a bit regretful not being able to join the social gathering with Lord Oz and others.

I also want to plan a mixer for 22 people including the Sage.

But now that we are here, how about practicing this bonding event in advance?

Mithra: Interesting, I want to join this thing called a mixer or something

Arthur: Thank you, Mr. Mithra.

How about Lord Oz?

Oz: Yes.

Arthur: Thank you so much!

How about Owen?

Owen: I won't. It's boring.

Cain: Don't say that.

If we sit face to face in a social gathering, we can understand each other better and maybe become closer.

Owen: When did I say I want to get along with you?

Cain: I want to get along well with you.

Owen: I don't want to. As if I would go.

Cain: Uhmm okay, that's good then! I actually don't want to get along with you either, but I have to do this because my lord is here. Lucky for me that you refused me first.

Owen: Oh? So you actually don't want to get along with me?

Cain: Yeah, why should I want to get along with you? You took my eyeball.

Owen: Ha ha, what a pitiful Sir Knight.

Owen: Then I will reluctantly join this mixer. Let's get close to each other, shall we?

Cain: Is that so?! Thank you, Owen!

Owen: Huh?

Cain: That's good for you, Arthur.

Owen: What does this mean?

Cain: Everyone, let's join in the fun!

Owen: Hey? Hey!

Arthur: I see!

Speaking of which, the Sage told me once…in mixer, people are supposed to have some special events.

Rutile: Special events?

Mithra: No matter what those are, it’s not a problem for me

Arthur: I don't know the specific details. Let's try to find out.

Rutile: I think I have an idea! (Rutile starts singing)

Rutile: Why do you want to drink? Why do you want to drink? Because you want to drink, so you drink!

(T/n: He is singing a parody of なんで持ってんの, a japanese drinking song)

Arthur: *confused voice* W-what song is that?

Rutile: This is the kind of song everyone sings at the beginning of a mixer.

Cain: Somehow, it feels like I’ve heard it somewhere before.

Rutile: Really? I created this song, though.

Cain: Really? But it sounds a bit familiar… Anyway, since we have songs, there should also be dances, right? Like dancing in pairs at a ball.

Arthur: That sounds appropriate! Perfect for social occasions to celebrate new encounters.

Owen: So how about this?

Owen: We play a game where one person acts as the king and the rest are retainers who follow the king's orders.

Cain: This game might not be suitable for this event, right?

Owen: …it isn’t?

Cain: It could make the atmosphere tense. It doesn’t seem like a social game.

Rutile: Although it sounds fun, I don’t think it's suitable for social gatherings.

Owen:…Hmmm, whatever.

Arthur: So, what dishes do you think should be served at the party?

Rutile: Dishes, huh? If there’s a grand feast at the mixer, the atmosphere will be livelier.

Cain: You must be hungry, Rutile. How about roasting a whole pig or something?

Arthur: Sounds like the mixer will be quite lively.

Rutile: It does sound that way! A roasted whole pig would be nice at a mixer.

Owen: Hey, how about this?

Mixing a hot sauce puff into a plate of sweet puffs filled with thick cream.

Cain: Absolutely not. That's a terrible idea.

Owen: Why?

Cain: Well, it's just not feasible. People who eat the hot sauce puff would be in for a bad time. This is meant to be a rare opportunity to meet new friends, and doing this would definitely make the atmosphere tense.

Owen: …Wouldn’t that make everything surprisingly lively though?

Cain: No, absolutely not. This would make it difficult to warm up the atmosphere. Think about it carefully— putting hot sauce in the puff for people to eat. It's going to be very tense, I'm telling you.

Rutile: I would certainly feel nervous…

Owen: Hmmm, whatever.

Snow: Ah, now I remember!

Rutile: What is it, Lord Snow?

Snow: Dear Sage mentioned a "first impression" game that seems to be held at the mixer.

Rutile: A game of first impressions?

Snow: Yes, for example, a question like "Who looks the gentlest here, or the richest person," and then you point to someone intuitively.

Snow: I hope everyone points to me when being asked "Who is the cutest person here?"

Oz: He just blurts out his wish.

Mithra: I definitely don't think you're the cutest person. If you asked who the scariest person is, I'd probably point to you.

Snow: I'm not scary. I'm obviously very cute.

Rutile: Very cute, indeed. But since we’ve met before, it might be difficult to judge as if it were the first time.

Snow: No worries. If it's just for a short time, I can erase your memory!

Mithra: Hah?

Owen: Erase memory?

Snow: Noscomnia.

Snow: Great, now we can play the first impression game!

Snow: Okay, after preparing, let’s point out who the cutest person here is.

Arthur: What just happened?

Mithra: What kind of terrifying magic was just used?

Owen: Step any closer, and I'll kill you.

Owen: Cuore-- Mithra: Arthi-- Oz: Voz--

Snow: Wait, wait, don't be so excited yet

Mithra: What do you mean?

Owen: Who are you?

Oz: Voz–

Snow: I said wait! Now everyone is playing the First Impression game.

Rutile: First Impression game?

Snow: Yes, it is to determine who the cutest person here is in the first impression.

Cain: Hold on a minute, I don't remember anything, not even you or myself.

Snow: Well, don't worry about that.

Cain: Don't worry?!

Snow: Yeah, don't stress about it, it's no big deal.

Cain: Is it really okay?

…Well, I suppose it is!

Rutile: Great, I don’t remember anything either, so I feel relieved to hear you say that.

Mithra: What's going on? That boy's complete lack of any sense of crisis is making me irrationally angry. My stomach seems to be hurting too.

Rutile: Oops, brother over there, do you have a stomachache?

Drink some hot potion to soothe your stomach, it'll help. I'll warm it up for you now.

Ah, but... T/n: Usually Rutile calls Mithra "Oji-san," but he's addressing Mithra as "Onii-san" now.

Mithra: What's the matter?

Rutile: This potion is very bitter. Brother, can you handle it? Will it be difficult for you?

Mithra: Not a problem. If need be, I can even eat grass.

Rutile: Ha ha, you're quite the wild one.

My first impression of you, brother, is that you're a very wild person.

Mithra: Ah, thank you.

My first impression of you is that of a careless person.

Snow: Look like someone knows how to play the game already!

Arthur: Hm? If you look closely, you two have the same eye color.

Cain: Ah, you are talking about me?

Owen: Me?

Rutile: That's right. Maybe you guys are brothers?

Ah, I feel like I have a brother too.

Cain: Do I have a brother?

*look at Owen* Can I call you big bro then?

Owen: What a joke. First of all, how could I have a brother with such weak magic power?

Besides, just from the appearance point of view, my hair color is similar to that guy’s.

Arthur: Are you talking about me?

Owen: Your magic power is pretty strong. Maybe we really are brothers.

Arthur: …Big Brother!

Owen: What's wrong~

Oz: Wrong…!

Arthur: Ah. Oz: That’s definitely wrong, although I don’t know why. Arthur: You over there… Oz: …Are you talking to me?

Arthur: …Sir, you have been silent until now.

Can you say a little more? That way we can get to know your personality better. Maybe the cutest person here is you.

Oz: I have nothing to say to you.

Arthur: Why?

Oz: *Silence* Because I have nothing to say.

Arthur: But why?

Oz: *Longer silence* Because I don't have anything to say so I won't say—

Arthur: Why—!

Snow: So, you guys have nothing to say. Okay, I get it! Let's begin! When I ask who the cutest person here is, everyone points to me.

Mithra: Isn't this cheating?

Snow: Humph! Forget it, let's not ask you; let's ask the spirits of this land.

(Snow asked who is the cutest, who is the noblest, who is the sexiest, and who is liked by animals. The audience responded with Snow, Arthur, Mithra, and Owen. After that, Snow returns memories to everyone.)

Arthur: Where are we?

Owen: Feels like there's a gap in my memory...

Cain: And I feel like I just had a strange dream...

Snow: Ha ha, the first impression game was so much fun!

Oz: I don't remember anything...

Cain: I want to join in too.

Snow: But you already participated.

Cain: Eh? I did? My memory's a bit fuzzy.

Owen: Too bad for you, then.

Snow, did you cast some strange magic on us?

Arthur: I feel like Owen and I were brothers...

Oz: Wrong.

Snow: Ha ha! That was so fun!

Mithra: So, what about the mixer to celebrate our encounter? Is this the end?

Arthur: No, it's not over yet. It's been a while since we last met.

Let’s reminisce about the events from when we first met until now.

Mithra: Are we talking about my heroic deeds?

Arthur: Mithra, Owen, Lord Oz, Cain, Rutile, Lord Snow, and our other esteemed comrades. And let's not forget the heroic deeds of our dear Sir Sage.

Cain: From the Ancient Birds and Beasts to the Resurrected City of the Dead. Three monsters attacking Granville Castle. And the perilous adventures in the Western Kingdom.

Rutile: Too many to recount. Let's share our stories tonight as we delve into the memories we share with the Sage.

Owen: There might be some pages I'd rather forget completely though.

Arthur: Even so, these are the nostalgic scenes that shape who we are. No matter how embarrassing or heartbreaking they may be, let's hold them dear in our hearts. Like precious friends, let's cherish those dark pages with tenderness.

Oz: That’s just like you, who is good at loving others.

Arthur: It's thanks to you, Lord Oz, and the watchful eyes of everyone else, that I'm able to do this. Now, everyone! Let's prepare some warm black tea and sweets. Get ready for our trip down memory lane, with the sound of fireworks and the music we love, while listening to everyone's laughter.

[Translation] Arthur SR Card Story: The Prince's direct escort.

The card's story is really cute...Owen has become so soft to Arthur since what happened in MS2.

Characters: Arthur, Owen Event: White Day 2024 - Exhausted Tears Rest in Lavender Blossoms

Card Story: I want to love this world wholeheartedly.

Episode 1

Arthur: These flowers maintain their fresh appearance through a mysterious power, right? But that doesn't last forever.

The scent of lavender has a sleep-inducing effect.  I thought that if I replaced the flowers, the scent would last a little longer and envelope the castle.

Owen: You're doing this for the monster sealed here?

Arthur: She is not a monster but a raven. If she sleeps peacefully, I'm sure that tomorrow's ritual will go well.

Owen: How naive. That raven brought disease to this land, and eventually tried to kill the castle lord.

Can't believe that the prince of the Central country, who is supposed to be pure and righteous, would help such a villain without punishing her.

If your people knew, they might be disappointed.

Arthur: But...I still can't say for sure that the raven is evil.  I haven't fully understood her yet.

Maybe there is another true reason behind her action of hurting her lord…that only the person in question can know.

Just like this story of mine when I was younger…

Episode 2

Arthur: I once had my arm scratched while trying to treat an injured hawk. 

At the time, I was surprised and wondered why that hawk had hurt me...

Then I realized that the hawk was simply trying to protect itself because it was wary of my sudden approach.

Owen: ……………So, you think it's the same for the raven?

Arthur: There's no proof, but I haven't talked directly to her yet. Moreover, it's not like all history and folklore are correctly passed on.

Owen: Haha...is it? I see, you just want to make up nonexistent proof and convince yourself. 

What if there is nothing but evil in the beautiful story? Are you going to complain that you didn't want to know such a thing?

Arthur: I am the one who wants to know. No matter what is hidden behind the story, I will accept it.  

When that time comes, it's still not too late to decide whether to give punishment or salvation to it.

Owen: You are trying too hard here. Even though you really wanted to run away from being hurt and see only what you wanted to see.

I wish naive people like you could just close the lid on the invisible things in this world, embrace some lavenders and dream peacefully.

Arthur: ……….Are you worried about me?

Owen: Hah? How can that be?

This just means I know your weaknesses. If you want to drown in your dream, call out to me. I will welcome you.

Arthur: Ha ha, I see. Thank you, Owen.

But people are bound to wake up from dreams someday.

In that case, I want to see the world I truly live in with everyone...I want to love it wholeheartedly.

[TRANSLATION] OWEN 4TH ANNIVERSARY SSR CARD STORY “TOGETHER IN A WORLD ADRIFT” AND CARD EPISODE “OWEN AND THE DOOR OF DAYS BYGONE…”

Owen, I feel like you can't stop mentioning Cain in everything you say lol I love it though

Characters: Owen, Akira (mentioning Cain)

Episode 1: A Sweet and Salty Moment.

Owen: Ha. It's been quite a while since I last had such a dull mission...

Owen: It's not merely a bit dull; it's being exaggerated to an extreme extent. You can just ignore it, you know?

The mission assigned to the Northern wizards that day was a result of the Great Calamity's influence, leading to a house cat turning aggressive.

Akira: It was utter chaos.

Owen helped a bunch by talking to the cat and calming it down.

Owen: Those guys are useless, I have no choice but to talk to it.

Owen: Well...the twins tried their best to act like super cute kids, but they were thoroughly disliked, Mithra and Bradley even got threatened by the cat. That was genuinely amusing and fun to watch.

Akira: Ahaha...Once the mission was over, everyone immediately disbanded.

Akira: I wished we could have gone to the shop together. You all came all the way here, but I couldn't offer anything as an apology. I'm truly sorry.

Owen: Doesn't matter. Besides, you don't get rewarded for being the first to run away.

Owen: Instead of that, don't you think you owe me for this mission? Take me to that store quickly.

Akira: Of course! Let me treat you as a token of appreciation.

Akira: That café is recommended by Cain. The decor is very stylish, and the atmosphere is great.

Owen: Heh...Is there a sweet treat that looks like someone's brain has melted and blended into a gooey, sugary snack?

Akira: Pr-probably...? The menu of that shop is very rich, and their most famous item is the baked sea salt cake.

Owen: Salt…? Cake with salt?

Akira: Yes! The salty-sweet combination is addictive.

Akira: You should give it a try...It should be nearby, I'll lead the way.

Owen: Hey... we've been walking for quite a while. Are we there yet?

Akira: Huh? That's odd...

Ten more minutes passed as we continued our search, but the desired café with its blue roof and round sign remained elusive.

Akira: With its blue roof and round sign, it should be easily recognizable...

Owen: ....

Episode 2: A Sweet and Salty Moment.

Akira: Owen, sorry for making you wander around like this. Are you tired...?

Owen: ...Not really.

I thought he'd be in a bad mood since I got him lost, but surprisingly, he wasn't unhappy, which confused me.

Owen: But, I'm thirsty. So, just continue looking for that store alone. Call me if you find it.

Akira: Eh? Ah, Owen!

Owen: Blue roof and round sign…

Owen: (I guess it's this one…)

Owen: ....

Owen: (I can see them clearly from the window seat. That person is still searching for this store in a daze.)

Owen: Amusing. Sir Sage doesn't have a clue that a camouflage spell has been cast on them, and they're still wandering around the same place over and over...

Owen: Haha... Let's just sit back and enjoy the spectacle for a bit.

Owen: (Although they occasionally gets angry, that person is surprisingly tough and won’t break easily. A very good toy indeed.)

Owen: ...Now you mention it, they said the sea salt cake in this store was delicious.

Owen: (Salty cake, but I doubt it's yummy...)

Owen:....

Owen: Oh well, just one bite.

Akira: This path isn't right either...ugh, so confusing.

I tilted my head in confusion and looked at the map in my hand. Still couldn't find the destination, I sighed countless times.

Akira: (It feels like I have been wandering in the same place since the beginning. I don’t even know where Owen went...)

While thinking this, I looked around again and turned the corner of a certain building, then...

Akira: Ah.........I found it!

A store with a blue roof and a round sign. The exquisite and lovely decoration is exactly the same as when I visited before.

Akira: Owen, Owen. I found the shop!

Akira: (He said to call him if I find it. Guess he didn’t go far...)

Akira: Ah...

Seated by the window in the café, Owen rested his chin on his hands, casting a look as if he was watching a show.

A sense of déjà vu washed over me; it felt like I had witnessed this scene before.

Episode 3: A Sweet and Salty Moment.

Akira: Owen!

Except for Owen, who was sitting alone by the window, there were no other customers in the shop. He slowly blinked his different-colored pupils, before casually directing his gaze toward me.

Akira: Great, you got here first. I have no idea why I've been lost for so long...

Owen: I know. I have been watching.

Akira: Eh? Have you been watching me? Since when…?

Owen: Right from the beginning, I used a camouflage spell on you to prevent you from seeing the shop and made you roam in circles, all while observing your bewildered expression.

Akira: So that's why!? When did you cast that kind of magic...?

Owen: Who knows. Thanks to this, I can see your embarrassed and stupid look.

I sighed, wiped sweat off my forehead, and saw Owen happily lift the corners of his mouth. His eyes, concealing their true meaning, formed a curve. It brought back the familiar sensation from when our eyes met outside the store.

Akira: (Speaking of which, when I first met Owen, I was searching for him too... I glanced up, and there he was, staring at me in the same way.)

Akira: (Gazing into those different-colored eyes that seemingly smiling, left a profound impression...)

Remembering the purple sunset on the castle balcony and the enchantingly eerie purple clouds from our initial conversation, I suddenly felt nostalgic.

Akira: (Reminiscing about our first encounter and now sharing afternoon tea like this...it makes me so happy...)

Owen: What's wrong with you? Why are you still laughing when I've obviously made you walk around in vain?

Akira: Ah, no! It's nothing...Oh, Owen. Is this the salty cake?

There sat a small round cake in front of Owen, with some of its white cream already devoured.

Akira: You ordered it! How do you like it? In my world, this kind of dessert is quite popular.

Owen: Yeah. A salty cake, I don't know how to describe it...

Lifting up his chin, Owen thrust the fork into the cake in one swift motion. He then slowly brought the forked piece to his mouth.

Owen: ...But it's not bad.

Licking the cream from the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, Owen tilted his head slightly and shook his fork.

Akira: (Although there are times he is inconsistent and difficult to get along with, but I can feel that we are getting closer little by little.)

Akira: (It would be great if I could share more and more things with Owen like this.)

Owen: Huh?

Owen slowly raised his eyelids. Then, with a somewhat mocking look, he gently pointed the tip of the fork at me.

Owen: You can try it. But if it doesn't suit your taste, don't blame me.

This movement, along with the slightly narrowed eyes behind the brim of the hat, seemed a bit different from when we first met.

Card Episode: Owen And The Door Of Days Bygone...

Akira: I heard that on the shores of Borda Isle, there is a door that allows you to see the past.

Akira: Speaking of the past, when I first came to this world, I still had a lot of uneasiness in my heart. Once I recall a certain memory, I feel at ease.

Owen: A certain memory?

Akira: Yes. The memory of a trusted adult reading a book to me as a child.

Owen: Hmm, sounds dreadfully boring.

Akira: B-boring...

Owen: It suits you, though.

Akira: How do you usually comfort yourself when feeling lonely?

Owen: Think of you.

Akira: Eh...

Owen: I think of...

Owen: Your scream as a gigantic dog almost gnawed you to bits and your teary face when abandoned all alone...

Akira: Ple-please stop talking.

Owen: Don't like it?

Akira: I don't. If you suddenly decide to act on those thoughts, I'd be in deep trouble.

Owen: Exactly the kind of thing I'd do.

Akira: Is there nothing else? Ways to comfort loneliness…

Owen: Who knows. I've never known loneliness or anything of the sort.

Owen: If you don't want to feel lonely, why not just be with others?

Akira: Do you mean making friends?

Owen: Of course not. I mean toying with people for my amusement.

Owen: Because there are plenty of humans and weak wizards that can be treated like playthings.

Owen: Threaten them, watch them squirm in terror, and you won't be bored anymore.

Akira: That's too extreme...Have you really done that to someone?

Owen: Of course I have.

Akira: Who...

Owen: The owner of this eyeball.

Akira: Ah...

Akira: …But, you two are friends now, right?

Owen: As if!

Akira: But if you can begrudgingly become friends despite all this...

Owen: I said no. We won't be friends. Are you stupid?

Owen: I've always done things that Sir Knight hates. Same goes for you.

Akira: Eh...?

Owen: I only do nasty things to you. I won't do anything good in the future either.

Owen: Whether I'm alone or you're alone, what you said just now was incredibly stupid.

Owen: Can't believe you said that having someone read a book to you can alleviate your loneliness.

Akira: Ah…No. I mean it's a memory that can comfort…

Owen: Same difference.

Owen: Even without an adult reading to you, you'd still find comfort in an imaginary character within a book, right?

Akira: Eh?

Owen: ...Incredibly boring.

[Translation] Shylock 4th Anniversary SSR Card Story "Together in a World Adrift" and Card Episode “Shylock And The Door Of Days Bygone…”

Try my best to translate whatever I can for Shylock. I kinda like the Card Episode this time because I love Shylock's individual strength that makes even Northern wizards wary.

Characters: Shylock, Akira.

Episode 1: Herbal wine in Memory

Shylock: Welcome, Sir Sage.

Akira: Good evening, Shylock...Ah, it's unusual for no one to be here tonight.

Shylock: Yes, unfortunately, only the cuckoo is chirping.

Shylock: However, it is precisely because of this that I am fortunate to have the Sage all to myself. Please, come this way.

Shylock's beautiful finger gestured toward the bar seat in front of him. I gratefully settled into the special seat.

Akira: (Speaking of which, today has been quite eventful...)

The day had been busy since morning. The Northern wizards became angry, the destruction of Magic Manor, Oz's punishment. This was followed by the commotion caused by magic items...

Akira: (Thanks to Murr blowing the magic trumpet, a group of animals swarmed into the magic manor... I'm still a little tired after all this.)

Akira: Shylock, is this...?

Shylock: This is the welcome drink I prepared for tonight's first guest. Please enjoy it.

Akira: Thank you. The gradient from blue to green is very beautiful.

Shylock: It's a gorgeous color. The refreshing taste should brighten the Sage's expression.

Akira: Wow, now I'm excited to taste it, especially if it can make you say that.

I took a sip. The refreshing taste of herbs spread. Then came the aroma of ripe fruits, and the sweetness permeated my tired body.

Akira: It's delicious...it makes me relax.

Shylock: Glad to hear. The blue syrup here uses herbs that can relieve fatigue.

Akira: Eh...! Shylock, you noticed I'm tired.

Shylock: Of course. It only takes one glance to tell.

Shylock: Normally, you would smile like a blooming flower. Because I've been following you closely, I know the difference.

Akira: Eh, I feel a little embarrassed to hear you say that... But thank you very much.

Shylock: Hehe... During time like this, you chose not to venture elsewhere but instead graced my bar with your presence.

Shylock: Under such circumstance, I have believed then it is my responsibility to dispel any shadows that may be cast upon you. Please pardon my presumption.

While saying that, Shylock wiped the glass in his hand very clean.

If you want to continue the conversation, feel free to strike up a conversation. If you want to drink in peace, then just do that. Always maintain an appropriate distance.

Akira: (That’s why Shylock’s bar is so popular. Whether it’s the one in the Magic Manor or within the City of Nectar, it hasn't changed.)

Engrossed in the delightful ambiance, with a drink in hand, I gazed absentmindedly at Shylock for a brief moment.

Observing his calm and focused movements, my eyelids gradually became heavy.

Akira: ....Huh....

Episode 2: Herbal wine in Memory

Shylock: Oh dear.

Akira: Zzzz…….

Shylock: You're already asleep.

Shylock: Haha, a defenseless expression...They must be too exhausted.

Shylock: Thank you for your continued support of those of us who venture off the beaten paths.

Shylock:….

Shylock: (...When was it? Something similar to this seemed to have happened before...)

Shylock: Ah, right. It was...

Akira: (...?...This is...)

Shylock: Are you awake?

Akira: —Eh? Uwah!

Akira: No, I'm so sorry, Shylock. I actually fell asleep in the bar...

Shylock: You must be very tired today. I'm happy that you could feel relaxed in my bar.

Shylock: Thanks to this, I'm able to see your cute sleeping face.

Merely witnessing that enchanting smile sent warmth to my cheeks. I shifted my gaze to the counter, almost as if running away. Various fruits, leaves, and flower buds are placed on it.

A familiar scene.

Akira: Hey, Shylock. Could this be...

Shylock: Correct. I want to make herbal wine.

Akira: I knew it! I've seen it several times before.

Akira: Well, when I first came to this world...and also when I fell asleep from exhaustion in the meeting room.

Shylock: Do you remember how to make it? If you're willing, may I invite Sir Sage to join me in crafting it this time?

Shylock: Putting thought into concocting your favorite drink would bring joy to you.

Akira: ...My favorite wine...

Akira: (This way, I can also make drinks that others will enjoy.)

Akira: ...I want to try it! Please let me make it together!

Shylock: Gladly. The initial step is selecting the ingredients for the wine – herbs, spices, and flowers.

Shylock carefully introduced the ingredients of herbal wine.

Shylock: Take roses, for instance; they can enhance one's beauty, whereas lavender and chamomile contribute to a sense of relaxation.

Shylock: Of course, you can also select ingredients based on their fragrance and appearance, as well as experiment with combinations of other herbs and spices.

Akira: I see. Hmm...which one is better to choose?

Akira: This one has a strongly soothing effect, and the fragrance of the herbs here is truly captivating...

Shylock: Haha….You have plenty of time, so feel free to take your time in making your selection.

Episode 3: Herbal wine in Memory

Shylock: The final step is to choose the wine.

Shylock: Red or white, pick whatever you prefer. Afterward, the alcohol will be removed by magic.

Akira: Red and white…Well, if you want to try herbal wine, which one would you prefer?

Shylock: In that case, I like them all, but my mood right now leans towards white.

Akira: (Okay, white then...!)

However, Shylock unexpectedly reached for the red wine.

Akira: (Well, maybe red would be better...? No. He just mentioned that he's in the mood for white now...)

With a head tilt, he added herbs to the wine bottle. The leaves and flowers swaying in the wine were more aesthetically pleasing than I had imagined.

Shylock: After that, just wait a few days, and it's done.

Akira: Thanks so much, Shylock. I'm looking forward to the finished product!

A few days later, I learned that the herbal wine was ready, and I went to the bar...

Akira: Ah. There are no other guests today.

Shylock: Actually, I've already reserved the entire bar. I want the two of us to celebrate the completion of Sir Sage's original wine.

This statement stunned me with its grandeur. However, I was genuinely happy to hear Shylock say that.

Shylock: Let’s start with the Sage’s wine.

Akira: Wow, it smells so good...

Shylock: Indeed. The aroma has infused the wine wonderfully. It's a refreshing and comforting scent.

Shylock: I will remove the alcohol. Would you like to have a sip?

Akira: No, just keep the alcohol. Please let me give this to you as a gift.

Shylock: Huh?

Akira: Since I came to the Magic Manor, I have received a lot of help from Shylock. Even now...

Akira: I made it with gratitude. I'd be happy if you could accept it.

Shylock: ...Sage...I appreciate it greatly.

Shylock: In fact, the wine I crafted is intended as a gift for you as well.

Akira: Eh!?

Shylock: This bottle has the alcohol removed. Please take it.

In the bottle Shylock handed me, I could see lavender soaked in red wine.

Looking back now, it's likely that all the ingredients he mentioned to have a relaxing effect are infused in it.

Akira: (Although he said he wanted white, he must have chosen red because of me...)

Akira: Thank you, Shylock. If possible, would you like to celebrate with these two bottles of wine today?

Shylock: As you wish. Then, I'll begin with the wine presented by the Sage and then move on to the one I gifted to you.

Shylock poured wine into two glasses side by side. 

We smiled and raised our red and white glasses.

Shylock: Thank you for each day shared with you. I wish for moments like these to endure eternally.

Akira: Please continue to take care of me!

Note: Based on my research, there are studies suggesting that red wine is better at easing anxiety and stress. Resveratrol, a compound found in red wine and berries, could protect against depression and combat stress. I believe that's why Shylock deliberately chooses red wine to give to Akira. He is so thoughtful.

Card Episode: Shylock And The Door Of Days Bygone...

Akira: I heard that on the shores of Borda Isle, there is a door that allows you to see the past.

Akira: Speaking of the past, when I first came to this world, I still had a lot of uneasiness in my heart. But when I recalled a certain memory, I felt at ease.

Shylock: What kind of memory is it?

Akira: The memory of a trusted adult reading a book to me as a child.

Shylock: It certainly sounds like something Sir Sage would experience. I can almost envision that youthful figure before me now.

Akira: ...Haha, how embarrassed.

Akira: Is there any memories that would act like a talisman for you, Shylock?

Akira: I mean, memories that provide comfort to you.

Shylock: I see...

Shylock: Even amidst a certain level of chaos, I can still love in moderation.

Shylock: However, when swallowed by the dark uneasiness of not being able to see the future...

Shylock: I'd like to quietly congratulate myself for what I have accomplished.

Akira: Your accomplishment?

Shylock: That’s right.

Shylock: I may not be as powerful as the Northern wizards.

Shylock: But thanks to the skills and experience I have cultivated over the years, I can, more or less, present myself to be a bit challenging.

Akira: (I think you're already very difficult to deal with, actually...)

Shylock: In such situation, I somehow manage to live my life the way I want to.

Shylock: There are nights I wish to forget, and there are nights I can't escape the sparks that fall on me.

Shylock: Nonetheless, I haven't lost my soul.

Shylock: This tone, this gaze...and this smile.

Akira: (He's persuasive... I sense my heartbeat quickening.)

Shylock: Defeating those terrifying invaders and conquerors who were beyond my magic power...

Shylock: Or engaging in conversation with the world's most argumentative, dangerous, and difficult Professor, but never made him feel bored.

Shylock: Wouldn't recalling these moments feel satisfying?

Akira: Very satisfying. I believe only Shylock can accomplish this.

Shylock: Haha. Thank you.

Shylock: Each night, when there's no wind but clouds gather in my heart, I reflect on my past achievements.

Shylock: And afterward, I'll savor a glass of wine, wholeheartedly appreciating myself.

Shylock: After all, I have mastered a lot.

Shylock: It will be the same in the future, for sure.

Shylock: I am who I am. Because I am Shylock, a wizard from the Western Country.

#mahoyaku #mahoutsukai no yakusoku #Shylock #The last line #It's because he is a Western wizard and Shylock that he can lives his true self no matter what happened #Very very Western wizard lol who live according to their desires

[Translation] Shylock SSR Card Story: Beginnings of a Foolish Burdensome Love

Gotta love the name that sounds very Shymurr somehow but it's more about Shylock and the Sage. Mithra also appears.

Episode 1: Let’s love both the joy and the pain.

This happened when I and Shylock investigating the incident at the mansion we visited.

Akira: It is rumored that every exhibit here possesses the capacity to attract various forms of happiness.

Shylock: Indeed, it appears to comprise a diverse array of items, ranging from those commonly found in the general market to precious ones crafted from rare materials.

Shylock: Each item has a different effect. Even specialty stores rarely boast such an extensive collection.

Akira: Just like a museum. This bracelet here looks so majestic, just looking at it makes me feel like it's going to be very useful...

Shylock: Ah, that's...

Akira: You know this, Shylock?

Shylock: Yes, it's a golden bangle that brings fortune. Once upon a time, a businessman customer used to wear the same one whenever he visited Bar Bennett.

Shylock: It's believed that this radiant gold can transform the wearer into a millionaire.

Akira: Well, it certainly looks fancy and already makes me feel rich just by owning it.

Shylock: Hehe. Perhaps that attitude will attract even more good luck.

Shylock chuckled softly, then pointed his finger at the ring displayed next to the golden bangle.

Shylock: I've seen this one before at the central market. Notice the clear, ocean-like indigo beads embedded in it?

Shylock: There's a rumor that wearing it wards off not only bad luck but also demons. It's said to be a must-have item for travelers.

Akira: Travelers...I often embark on missions far away, having this one would make me feel safe.

Shylock: Oh? What a lonely thing to say.

Akira: Ah?

Shylock: Indeed, your modesty is one of your undeniable virtues.

Shylock: We're your wizards. If you ask us to accompany you, we shall envelop you in tender care, akin to being swathed in cotton...

Shylock: I would turn even fear into a taste of exciting pleasure and protect you. Please entrust your body and soul to me, please rely on me.

Wine-colored eyes approached me, and I caught a faint whiff of a pipe. He beseeched me in a seductive yet sweet voice, making me flinch slightly.

Akira: Th-then, please let me rely on you...

Shylock: Hehe. What a lovely person.

Akira: L-let's see, why don't we take a look at this room too? There are many places we haven't explored yet...!

Embarrassed, I forcefully opened the door in front of me.

Akira: Ah...

Then, accompanied by the sound of something breaking, the scenery in front of me changed.

Shylock: Sir Sage, what's wrong?

However, the moment I blinked, the scenery immediately returned to normal.

Akira: Ah...nothing.

(I'm sure I saw a rainbow just now...)

Mithra: Ah, you broke it.

Episode 2: Let’s love both the joy and the pain.

Mithra stood at the door, lazily snapping his fingers. As he did, something that had been lying on the floor floated into the air.

Akira: Ah...!

It was a necklace with a small glass bottle swinging at the end of a leather strap. However, a large crack marred the side of the bottle.

Shylock: Did you break something by opening the door? Sir Sage, are you okay?

Akira: I'm fine, but I broke this, didn't I...

Akira: What should I do, this item belongs to the precious collection of Ernest's relatives...

Mithra: You are loud. It doesn't matter, this one is destined to be broken anyways.

Akira: Eh?

Mithra: Arthim

Akira: Wow, it's back to normal...!

Shylock: That's great for you, Sir Sage. I will talk to the owner of this mansion later.

Akira: I agree. I broke it once, so I would like to properly apologize. Mithra, thanks for fixing this.

Mithra: Sigh, even if I fix this, it isn't gonna matter much anyways...Take this, Sage.

Mithra: This mansion is full of garbage. I want something more powerful and usable...

Mithra picked up some amulets lined up on the wall and then casually threw them away, as if he had lost interest in them.

Akira: (Maybe this amulet fell when I opened the door...)

Shylock: I thought Mithra would be delighted to see a mansion stocked with items like this, but... it seems like it would be quite difficult to find something that he would acknowledge.

Akira: Looks like it...Uhm, Shylock, do you know about this amulet?

Akira: Mithra said this was bound to be broken, but...

Shylock: Yes, I've seen this.

Shylock: When you opened the door and this small vial broke... Sir Sage, did you notice any changes?

Akira: Ah, yes! The moment I opened the door, I saw a beautiful natural landscape that looked like an outskirts of some town...

Shylock: That's the power of this amulet.

Shylock: After a certain amount of time has passed, the vial’s color would change to the color of dusk because there is magic cast on it.

Shylock: If you break the vial after its color has changed, you will see its owner’s feelings and thoughts.

Akira: The owner’s feelings?

Shylock: Yes, would it be easier to understand if I said that this vial would show the scenery they desire to see?

Shylock: For a short period in the past, this amulet was very popular since it was marketed with "Making your dream world into reality."

Shylock: I heard it gradually lost its popularity and is very difficult to obtain now.

Episode 3: Let’s love both the joy and the pain.

Akira: Why? Even though it's something people would really like...

Shylock: Isn't it? Initially, there was a collective burst of excitement – "I've been longing to see this!" echoed everywhere.

Shylock: However, desires are peculiar. Instead of reveling in momentary happiness, many found themselves empty, having lost the sought-after scenery in the blink of an eye.

Akira: I see... Rumors like that circulated, and it gradually lost its popularity.

Akira: It's true. People would feel a sense of loneliness when something they eagerly anticipated suddenly vanishes like that...

(But...)

I recall the ephemeral scene showed by the sunset-colored vial.

(That's the scenery its owner wished to see. I'm sure it's filled with precious memories.)

Akira: I'm sure that if I see this amulet somewhere, I would buy it.

Akira: Certainly, it's sad to see the scenery disappear in an instant, but...that would make me feel even more special about the fleeting scene it presents to me, and the associated memories.

Shylock: ....Heh. Your strength lies in your attitude of appreciating what separation offers you, rather than the pain that may await in the future due to it.

Akira: No, it's not that special...!

Shylock: Don't be modest. Every encounter is a series of miracles.

Shylock: But for me, if I were to possess that item...

Shylock: Perhaps, it's not just the scenery that I desire, but a wish – "Please, please stay with me for just a little longer."

A subtle smile graced Shylock's face as he gently used his fingertips to roll the vial in my palm.

Shylock: Although I'm already aware that someday, we will part ways...

Shylock: Yet, I hope the "presence" of us being together will continue a bit longer. Don't you harbor the same wish?

Suddenly, Shylock's words reverberate deeply in my chest.

Akira: This amulet truly is a mystery, the more you think about it, the more interpretations surface.

Akira: Even though we understand that we must eventually let it go... No, that's precisely why we find it difficult to let go.

Shylock: Hehe. Isn't this kind of contradiction endearing?

Shylock: Farewells and encounters are integral parts of life. Let's love both the joy and the pain.

Looking back at him with a soft smile, I quietly put the amulet back on the shelf. Thinking of the day that will come, I urge myself to be careful and cherish the days ahead, ensuring not to destroy them.

[Translation] Murr's January 2024 SR Card Story

It has been a while since the last time I actually used my Tumblr LOL. Nonetheless, it's also my first time to actually translate something for this game (just sit in this hole for about 3 months). Enjoy the Shymurr's homo as usual-

Episode 1: If It's for This Shine

Murr: Shylock~

Shylock: Murr, what do you need?

Murr: Look, look! I have grown fangs and turned into Valcy!

Shylock: Joking again…

Shylock: It can't be helped. Well, allow me to get rid of you then?

Murr: Ahaha, you are gonna hit me!

Murr: I'm looking forward to it. How will Shylock kill me?

Shylock: Haha. How foolish of Valcy, to let out encouragement instead of a scream after hearing such a declaration.

Shylock: Actually, I just bought an iron stirrer from the general store in town.

Shylock: How do you like this…

Murr: Meow, it tickles!

Murr: It's nice to have my chin rubbed by your fingertips, but the stirrer also makes it feel good and cool!

Shylock: Valcy is said to be weak against iron… So, what do you think? Satisfied yet?

Murr: No, not yet! Shylock, if you want to defeat me, you will have to bring better ironwork!

Shylock: Wow, you are tough.

Shylock: Iron strong enough to knock you down… What exactly is it?

Murr: Dunno! Let's find it together!

Murr: This town is full of people who fear Valcy, they sell all kinds of iron products.

Murr: Surely there would be something that works great on me!

Episode 2: If It's for This Shine

Shylock: Murr, this shop also sells iron products.

Murr: Oh, it's an iron cage! Wooden cage is the norm, but it's rare to see an iron cage!

Shylock: Next to it… an iron doorbell that is also used to avoid Valcy? The carved pattern suits the city's atmosphere well.

Murr: Stuff around here is not enough to defeat me, Valcy…

Murr: Ah, how about this? A ring with a crimson gemstone on top!

Shylock: Oh, is it effective to use accessories as iron weapons to kill Valcy?

Murr: Of course! The ring part is made of iron!

Murr: Look, when you put it up to the sky like this, the gemstone shines and reflects the evening light. Looks beautiful.

Murr: I love this shine! I don't care if I will be destroyed by its iron ring!

Shylock: …

Shylock: If it's for the brilliance that captivates your heart, You will reach out to it even if it means destroying yourself…

Shylock: That's your answer, Valcy?

Murr: Yes! Even if my soul is shattered as a result.

Shylock: …A troublesome person.

Shylock: However, it's certainly more like you to lose your life while your eyes sparkle with jewels than to be defeated by a mere lump of iron.

Murr: Haha! That's a compliment! Well then, I'm gonna buy this ring now.

Murr: …Hey, Shylock.

Shylock: What is it?

Murr: When I get back, you can try it out with your own hands.

Murr: Try putting it on my finger and see if you can kill Valcy!

Ike and Soren’s Base Conversation (Radiant Dawn)

It was Gallia. The place I lived with the sage. It was a small village in Gallia. A few beorc had settled there and… When the sage died… I, with my silent tongue, was about to die of hunger. To me, in that state, you were the only one who offered your hand. That’s why, only you are special to me.

I commissioned this from @rindartist​ because there needs to be more content for these two and her comic work is always amazing (Thank you for letting me rant to you about them bb <3)! Read from left to right. This is from the infamous why do I have to play through the game twice to unlock it conversation Ike and Soren have in the final chapter of Radiant Dawn (shown here). I gave the artist both the Japanese and English dialogue, so it uses a mix of both.

(A few notes: 1. Raise your hand if you also want to punch those laguz in the face; 2. I don’t think it was ever canonically stated when and where Soren and Ike reunited so that was just a guess! And 3. Intsys, I will sacrifice an organ for a Soren alt. please.) 

“A cold heart… it has been closed off as if completely covered in ice… a heart like ice. Yet… something warm is shining from its core. For you, also… there is, isn’t there… someone more important than anyone.”

When you're angry at the characters, the story is well-written. When you're angry at the writers, it is not.

Thought for the SS 2 PV...

I think it would be better if Lu Guang actually died at the beginning just like how the PV shows and Xiaoshi has to go back in time and saves him many times. So many knives I KNOW but they are just delicious knives that I can’t stop wanting it ahhhhhhhhhhhh

#link click #gimme the mystery #gimme Lu Guang POV #GIVE ALL LU GUANG FLASHBACK TO ME

[mirikitakato]

I feel like the trailer is trying to trick us so bad lmao, especially with their power being that confusing!!! I somehow think that’s not Lu Guang, but Xiaoshi dives back in time and be inside Lu Guang’s body. The thing about 12 hours limit is that it’s just what Lu Guang sets up because he can only look into time for 12 hours from the time the photo is taken. It’s just for safety because he will “lose” Xiaoshi in his eyes if the time limit passes 12 hours.  Thus, it’s possible for Xiaoshi to go longer in the past, I think.

Okay, call me crazy, but what if in this scene it's actually Lu Guang?!? Like obviously it's not him when he gets stabbed or else he'd be stabbing himself. BUT what if when he's losing consciousness he travels into the body of Qiao Ling before blinking out again. Like I'm really curious about how their respective powers will be used/and possibly change during 1)near-death/or actual death experience of Lu Guang and 2) how Cheng Xiaoshi will navigate the mystery villain on top of being in jail (?) and deal with Lu Guang being on the operating table???? SO MANY QUESTIONS. SEASON 2 COME SOON PLEASE.

Shu Kurenai (紅シュウ) - Beyblade Burst Evolution - Episode 51

#Im coming back to tumblr for reblogging shu im crying #3 years of inactive I think #beyblade

[mirikitakato]

(Part 1) jojo!! I finally got to see promare and loved it!!! But I feel like there is stuff I didnt notice and I am dying to see it again. I see people on twitter talking about how it reflects the rise of fascism and I didnt catch that and was wondering if you knew about it and could explain it a bit!! Also, this may seem weird, but I feel like I missed so much in the fandom in terms of official art and fanart and what the creators have said about galo and lio's relationship, stuff like that

I GOTCHA. sorry this took so long. it’s really hard to find stuff on twitter so instead i’ve summarized the major stuff that’s been said and major fan trends and so on!! what will become clear by the end of the thread is that 1) the directors are fucking with all of us 2) this is a really fun fandom lmao

PROMARE EXTRA STUFF

here are two major threads on interviews/promare fax: [thread one] [thread two] they have a lot more extra stuff i haven’t included!!

promare is set in america. the mad burnish name their bikes after the city where they first got their burnish powers - lio’s is named detroit, gueira’s is named miami, and meis’s is dallas. (the cities make a triangle on a map lol)

that said, lio is british, and gueira and meis are australian. meis and gueira have matching tattoos. meis’s says fujin (god of wind) and gueira’s says raijin (god of thunder). 

burnish power levels are expressed by how colorful their fires are/how many horns their burnish forms have. lio and kray have three horns and tri-colored fires, gueira is second in command to lio and has two horns, meis as one horn and is actually third!!

meis is the responsible one, gueira is wild. meis used to be in a visual kei band and gueira used to want to be an america football star, but his health wasn’t good enough.

lio has only been the leader of the mad burnish for a year to a few months. the title of leader is passed down and that’s what the movie means by “hunting him for thirty years”

galo wears a sleeve over his left arm to cover up scars he got from when thyma (burnish woman lio tries to bring back to life) became a burnish, after rescuing her from a fire. it might also be a compression sleeve to help with the scarring or something.

the staff oversaw the dub so everything in the dub version is canon

okay. stick with me on this one. remi has a girlfriend who used to be in another burning rescue unit, went missing, and was eventually found to have been transformed into a crocodile and living in the sewers of promepolis. take it in. if you see remi with a crocodile, that’s his girlfriend.

galo is obsessed with japanese culture……

promare was in development for six years. 

originally, it was going to be a buddy cop story where one cop befriends and fuses with a fire crature. originally lio was going to be the protagonist and galo the spiky purple haired bad guy. they wanted to make it and i quote a “boy meets boy” story instead of boy meets flame creature story. guess they got the best of both worlds.

ignis has a daughter and is a single parent and is actually canonically married to me. we’re very happy together.

lio originally had an off the shoulder shirt.

lio is apparently 5′2″ according to someone. i know it’s socially accepted as the norm but as with all things, go wild.

lio and galo are entry-level businessmen aged. they’re adults. no one start with this.

the staff deliberately dodge all questions about ages and birthdays and have stated they will never give anything definitive because they don’t want to live like that and it’s relatable.

i would be remiss if i didn’t mention that one of the artbooks has lio in bondage and in another picture, galo standing over a prone lio who is grinning and staring at his crotch thanks trigger. there’s a lot of art of lio in compromising positions because of this.

there is a lot of official art of galo and lio in matching suits, holding flowers. if you see art of them married, that’s a big reason why lol

that’s all i can think of right now! those are the widely accepted/known things you might see. feel free to ask any other questions!!

ETA: this post had the artbook shots under the cut but i edited on mobile and lost the cut like an idiot and don’t want to get banned for nsfw so send an ask if you want to see them fml 😂

You know, looking at how I was so hyped, hopeful in 2016, 2017 and even 2018, I feel extremely sad about what IE has become now.

[mirikitakato]

Orion has ended so I kinda decided to come back here to finish some of my intent posts about it (?). I think the last post I have ever made was the translation of IE interview for Hikaru? I should have kept up with IE on here but I just kind of moving to Twitter. I decide to do these topics just because I think they’re easy to miss with how bad-written Orion is. They would be really short, 700 words or so...

What I will talk about:

- Orion overall brief review: weakness + strength - Asuto and Hikaru relationship: the subtleness and equal footing. - Nosaka and Hikaru relationship: The meaning of existence and the punishment - Asuto and Nosaka: the development that should have been showed long ago. - Asuto; the waste potential and a great protagonist we could have got

I just choose to do English versions for these posts now instead because my Vietnamese is getting really long, while my English is more concise (dues to the fact I usually write English science reports).

But it will take a while, especially I’m pretty busy with my real life rn. I just hope I can finish it before I move on to the next anime (?) or else I will just lose my interest.

If anyone wants to suggest any other topic, just say, I will try my best to make a post.

Thank you for become an IE stan

some random thoughts on inazuma 11: ares+orion

I’m in Sakka Hell.

That’s really the TLDR of this whole mess with me getting into this franchise now. I just need to get my thoughts out where I haven’t yelled about them yet (you should have seen me going feral at the Ares ending on twitter) because I haven’t been here in a while and I have spent the ENTIRE day studying my ass off for finals n_n”

Note that I came into Inazuma Eleven in a really unconventional manner – I don’t know when I have time to binge the original IE (I’ve watched a couple of episodes like the Fubuki and Kidou eps) and I don’t realy have an opinion of the GO stuff yet. I actually got interested in this series because I happened to be awake while the pilot episodes of the IE Ares dub aired on Disney XD a month ago. And the dub was very, very good. 

Then I looked up the voice cast in Japanese and BOOM KAMIYA, FUKUJUN, YOCCHIN, MAMO, RYOHEI, SAKUPYON? 

That whole search and me watching the subbed pilot basically did me in, so what I did next was I set up my TV to manually record the Ares dub every week while I binged the sub in between study sessions – which I finished last Tuesday. I was fucking sobbing through the ending tbh

Currently I am on episode 16 of Orion, which is still airing, and dying because THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH GOOD AND WILD SHIT GOING ON HERE

Some other random thoughts about my Ares experience and Orion so far:

- Ichihoshi? is not exactly my favourite because he felt like a Fubuki copy with a really problematic second identity? but I liked how Asuto was the driver behind his redemption arc AND HOW ASUTO IS THE ONE BONDING WITH HIM THE MOST CLOSELY SO FAR. Please let the boy grow out of his past please let the boy recover I hope Ichihoshi is doing okay is he eating well is he drinking water 

- Is it okay for me to like all three Ares shujinkos? They all have good reasons to be likable – and with Haizaki and Nosaka it’s mostly not even because off their redemption arcs. Haizaki for me after Kidou dragged him out into the metaphorical “light” became the kind of guy that just needs protection and supportive friends and that’s why I think his arc was pretty admirable. I hope in Orion he grows into something more/better though. 

- Me during Ares: LET NISHIKAGE LIVE HE JUST WANTS TO BE WITH HIS BEST FRIENDO

- Me during Orion: can someone tell Nishikage that Nosaka just won’t feel the same level of affection for him as he does? Please? Like you, Saginuma? Also give Saginuma a chance to play keeper please let him do something in the match w China 

- Ever since I found out Masuda Toshiki is Hiroto’s seiyuu I have begun to soften up to the boy inevitably, but the guy’s still growing on me. 

- Asuto, Kidou, and Endou are actual rays of fucking sunshine and I don’t even need to have sat through all of IE to say this about Kidou and Endou. Honestly I would give the world to be as genki and positive-energy-only as Endou Mamoru

- Kidou’s probably coming back BUT WHAT ABOUT GOUENJI. GIVE US GOUENJI SHUUYA BACK HOW CAN YOU JUST TAKE HIM OUT AT THE VERY BEGINNING AND NOT EXPECT A COMEBACK 

- Final random thought: I love how in the dub localisation the English names are very closely related in meaning to the original names. Like. Sonny Wright? Sonny –> Asuto –> Sonny definitely literally takes the word sun while “asu” means “tomorrow” aka rising sun. Also Elliot Ember —> the word ember is basically his entire surname while Haizaki contains the kanji for “ash” and whatnot. A similar thing was done with Axel Blaze/Gouenji Shuuya. I’m also seeing this with the school names too, though Polestar kind of just feels like more of creative instinct than actually making the callback with the translation lol

- One more thing: MURASE AYUMU IS NOW A SEIYUU I STAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY NOW this is also partially because yes I have been watching Sarazanmai this season so I have seen his beautiful performances in 2 shows :””)))))))

anyways. please watch inazuma eleven ares every saturday morning at whatever time your local tv listing says it airs on (for me its 8:30 am PST and the rerun at 19:30 pm)
