Owen Wizard's Party 2023 SSR Card - [A Mocking Laugh for the Forest Where One Dreams] - Card Story (ft. Akira), Card Episode, Home Screen Voice

====== Card Story: Chapter 1 - Flames To Vanquish Those Thoughts ======

Akira: Haa, haa…… Owen, please wait……! I can’t catch up to your broom on my feet……

Owen: Why do I have to be the one to match your pace? Who is the one who will be in trouble if my protection magic broke off? If anything happens because you strayed too far, I’m not gonna bother about you.

Akira: Eek, sorry……! I’ll do my best to catch up with you!

‘Lately, voices of people speaking could be heard from the Forest of Dreams.’ Hearing such rumours, we came to investigate.

Because Owen is familiar with the forest and happened to be free, he was chosen for this task. Though he looked annoyed from the bottom of his heart, somehow, it seemed as though he had a clue what’s going on.

Akira: But it really is strange, for voices to be heard so frequently in a forest as empty as this.

Akira: Though Snow and White both thought it’s likely just spirits or the like hanging around……

???: ……Eee……

At that moment, as the wind blew, I heard something that sounded like a person speaking.

Akira: Just now, that was...

A man’s voice: ……go…. was it…..

Someone was muttering something. I turned around to look, but all I could see are bushes that reached as far as my knees, with no signs of another person in sight.

Akira: (D-Don’t tell me it really is a ghost……!?)

*Rustling sound*

Owen: Ahh, as I thought.

Even as I turned pale, Owen paid no attention to me and peered nonchalantly at the bush.

Owen: That whole ‘voices from the forest’ business is the doing of these things here.

Akira: This is……

On the other side of the bush, was a patch of mushrooms with caps in the shape of flowers, glowing brilliantly in all the shades of a rainbow.

Akira: My, what unusual-looking mushrooms. But, what does it have to do with the voices just now……?

At that very moment, a breeze whirred across us and I could hear voices coming from the mushrooms at my feet.

A woman’s voice: Oh my, it’s so warm here, I don’t even need a coat anymore.

Akira: !? The mushroom spoke……!?

Owen: These things here have the ability to mimic the sounds of humans and animals. It’s so that they can attract creatures to come closer, so that the spores they spread in the wind have something to attach itself to.

Owen: Its roots can grow in anything, so you should be careful not to let them stick onto your clothes or head.

Akira: Eh!? T-That’s scary……

Owen: Haha. Well, there’s no need to pat your clothes so frantically.

Owen: After all, it’s not often you get the chance to experience the sensation of something sprouting from your body by piercing through the skin, along with a horribly unbearable pain.

Akira: That’s not reassuring to hear at all…… That said, to be able to mimic sounds, this sure is a marvelous mushroom.

Owen: As a result of the influence of the miasma of this forest, there are lots of strange plants and animals here. That said, this mushroom originally wasn’t that much of a talker though.

Owen: It should’ve been capable of nothing more than the likes of ‘So cold’, or ‘I’m starving’, at most.

Akira: Is that how it is? But just now, it felt as though I was listening to someone’s conversation……

Akira: Could it be that, this is due to the calamity as well?

Owen: Probably. Having received powers from the moon, perhaps it gained the ability to remember longer sentences now.

Owen: To remember words from those having their so-called ‘blissful dream’ as they die after arriving at this forest with their lives barely hanging.

====== Card Story: Chapter 2 - Flames To Vanquish Those Thoughts ======

A frosty wind blew across the forest.

As if awakening from its slumber, the forest was filled with voices of people on the brink of their death.

A youthful voice: What’s going on? This strange, wondrous feeling... Even though my legs can’t move, it feels as though I could run to any corner of the world…..

A hoarse voice: Ahh, how comfortable. I’ll take a nap here and get back to working hard again once I wake up. Gotta do it so that the kids get to eat a nice hearty meal……

Akira: ……

Hearing all that, I was at a loss for words and stood there silently.

Owen: Haha, they’re all just some worthless, trifling dreams.

Owen: Those people died miserably just like that, without even having such trivial wishes realized.

Owen curled his beautiful lips upwards into a wry smile, and laughed in amusement.

Owen: It feels like it’s starting to get somewhat interesting. Guess I’ll listen for a while longer.

Seemingly in a good mood, Owen hummed as he conjured a teapot and chair, and gracefully took a seat.

Akira: (He’s going to sit back and relax at a moment like this?!)

Akira: O-Owen. We came here to investigate in the first place, so we’ll need to prepare a report. If there’s anything we can do to resolve this, I’d love it if you could let me know……

Owen: Some mushrooms just got mutated thanks to the Calamity, that’s all. There’s no particular damage to anything either.

Owen: What more is there to be said?

Akira: That’s true, but……

*Sound of wind blowing*

Every time a breeze blows, we hear the voices of someone who is about to meet their end.

Speaking amid their dreams about those wishes that are lost forever… about the fragments remaining in their hearts.

Akira: ……Umm, Owen, don’t you feel anything when you hear those voices and what they say?

Owen: I feel happy, and I can’t help but laugh. Because I love people’s agony.

Owen: The final moments of insects exhausting all their strength is so meaningless and miserable, it’s just truly delightful.

Akira: I…… feel a little sad when I hear them.

Akira: Though each of them have their own different circumstances, when I think about how their lives ended in this forest while having a dream that couldn’t be realized……

A young voice: Wow, what a beautiful forest……

Suddenly, an innocent voice filled my ears.

Akira: A child’s voice……?

A young voice: Even though it was so painful and unbearable just a while ago, I don’t feel any pain anywhere now. I'm not coughing anymore, and my body feels so light.

A young voice: I wonder who brought me here. I have no memories of who it was, but the one who brought me out of that dark and cramped home, has to be a hero……!

Owen: ……

Akira: (......I wonder if that child rarely went outside? That child hadn’t even had the chance to grow up, and just like that, in this forest…… )

That young voice was so bright and joyful, I could almost imagine just how tender his smile was.

A young voice: It’s surely someone strong and cool, isn’t it? I wonder if it’s Sir Prince, or perhaps Sir Knight….. Or perhaps a seasoned warrior.

A young voice: If my body gets better, I’d love to meet them someday. At that time, I need to tell them properly, ‘Thank you for saving me’......

Owen: Haha…… Just like a fool.

Saying that, a dry laugh escaped his mouth.

====== Card Story: Chapter 3 - Flames To Vanquish Those Thoughts ======

Owen: Humans really are a foolish and naive bunch.

Owen: No one will help you. All you do is pray and wait to be rescued, it’s no surprise that no one bothers giving you a single glance.

Owen: Cur memini.

*Sound of fire burning*

As his cold, indifferent voice chanted the spell, the mushroom that replayed the child’s voice just now started burning voraciously.

Facing the rising flames, Owen smiled at it mockingly.

Owen: Dim-witted losers won’t survive. All they’ll become is sustenance for the forest, gone without a single trace left on this world.

Owen: Without even meeting that hero they dreamed of, too.

The flames spread, and the entire patch of mushrooms was engulfed by the flames in no time — turning into a shimmering, brilliant scarlet within the heat.

It was an intense, yet calming sight. The singed mushrooms turned into black clouds of smoke, continuously rising into the sky.

Akira: (......It’s as if the souls are ascending into heaven.)

Though I’m sure that wasn’t Owen’s intentions at all.

But to me, it seemed as though the thoughts of those people that were smouldering within the forest got their burial thanks to his flames.

(Some time passed in the forest)

Akira: Looks like the mushrooms are all burnt. ……Huh, Owen, what are you doing?

Owen: *gnaws*

Owen picked up the burnt mushroom and nonchalantly stuffed it into his mouth.

Akira: Ehh!? Is that thing safe to eat!?

Owen: I only ever put edible things in my mouth. You see, this mushroom here becomes sweet and tasty once it’s roasted.

Owen: If you’re curious, why not give it a try? Even if a human ate it, it probably won’t kill them.

Akira: I-I see. I think I’ll pass on that…..

Owen: Hmm okay, whatever.

Turning away from me, Owen started stuffing his mouth with the mushrooms, savouring each bite of the beautifully roasted fungi.

*Sound of wind blowing*

Even if the wind blows, no voices could be heard any longer. All that filled the forest was silence.

Akira: Even if it’s just the natural trait of a mushroom, when you hear the echoes of the voices of people who are long gone, it felt as though their souls were trapped in this place.

Akira: So that’s why, by setting those flames upon them, it feels as though you’ve helped out a little there, or perhaps I could say, brought some relief.

Akira: Though perhaps it’s just me getting above myself……

Owen: That has nothing to do with me. I just returned the forest back to how it should have been, that’s all there is to it.

Having turned around towards me, Owen threw a mushroom into his mouth and gulped it down his throat loudly.

Owen: The people who come to this forest are just so preoccupied with themselves, that other people’s voices become mere noise to them.

Owen: This is the forest of dreams. A place where one has cruel, blissful, selfish dreams about themselves and no one else.

Owen: Dying while the body and mind is engrossed in a dream… Tormenting these people at their final moments is what I love so much after all.

Owen spoke on, his tone as if singing a sweet melody, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

The smile on his face was a cruel one, yet even seemed to harbour a hint of gentleness within it.

====== Card Episode: Seeking That Flavour ======

*Sound of fire burning*

Akira: Huh, Owen. Are you making a bonfire?

Owen: Something like that. But not for warmth though.

Akira: Ah, there’s some rougeberries inside the flames….. I see, so it was for roasting them.

Owen: Sort of. That day, I ate those mushrooms in the Forest of Dreams, remember? The one that tastes sweet and yummy after roasting.

Owen: I was thinking that maybe there’d be a fruit with a similar taste to that, and tried roasting a few other fruits to see. But somehow, every one of them had a different taste from it.

Akira: I see…… That mushroom you were talking about, how exactly does it taste like though?

Owen: Burnt clay.

Akira: C-Clay……?

Owen: Yup. It’s sweet and sticky, and sticks to your mouth. But its skin is like some rough, old paper full of scabs,

Owen: And then, sometimes as I eat it, my throat gets stucked with it, causing me to almost suffocate.

Akira: (Something so sweet and sticky that you’d suffocate……?)

Akira: ……Ah, I think I got it. I guess it’s probably something similar to roasted potatoes?

Akira: I go see if there’s still any sweet po…… Nougat potato left in the kitchen.

Owen: Oh? Looks like you can be useful at times too. Once I’ve roasted that potato, shall I let you have some?

Akira: Eh, may I?

Owen: Yup. Since it’s not often we get the chance, I’ll use illusion magic to make its appearance similar to that of that mushroom.

Owen: Since at that time, you seemed uncomfortable and wouldn’t put it inside your mouth.

Owen: Shall I add on the voices that we’ve heard so much of at the Forest of Dreams as a freebie? I’ll be happy to reproduce your favourite one for you.

Akira: J-Just normal roasted potatoes will do……!

====== Home Screen Voice ======

Owen:……The people who escaped into the Forest of Dreams, is just like the me of that time. That’s why, I want to torment them.

======

I love how we got more official confirmation that Owen is a shitposter who will start flaming shit, then grab a cup of tea to sit back and watch the world burn. that's my boy

#mhyktl #promise of wizard #owen mhyk #mahoyaku #owen mahoyaku #mahoutsukai no yakusoku #owen pulling out a whole cup and chair to watch the drama was truly peak shit though #owen most sane man of mhyk 2023

2023 Halloween Card Story-Owen

Here is Owen's Halloween 2023 SR card story, "His Typical Boredom-Killer", fully translated!

Cain is now two for two of North wizards being Normal to him during this event. And Owen, if you wanted Cain to kneel at your feet like a dog, you could just ask like a normal person.

mild cw for Owen making a joke about drowning

Part 1:

----------------------------

Owen: Ughh, so bored…

Owen: …..Oh.

Owen: ….

Cain: Woah….So cool! I didn’t think there was gonna be that many floating around.

Cain: There should be enough for everyone, especially if I take the villagers up on their kind offe-

Owen: Sir Knight. I see you’re finally going to drown yourself.

Cain: Ahh! …. What the hell, Owen?

Owen: What do you mean, what? Isn’t there something else you should be saying?

Cain: ...Something else? Uh, don’t just suddenly appear right next to me like that? You kinda scared the hell outta me.

Owen: …Is that really it? So I guess you’re just sitting around being useless.

Cain: I’m not just sitting around…

Cain: You’re not doing anything either, right? Then come look at the spring here-these things are pretty interesting, especially when they’re floating around.

Cain: The scales reflecting the light like this kinda makes it look like an aurora, don't they?

Owen: …What are you even going on about? These are just some junk thewlis scales-are you a crow rummaging through the trash now?

Cain: It’s not junk. It’s precious to the villagers here.

Cain: I dunno if you know this, but if you put a thewlis scale into hot water, it purifies it in a flash. Kinda like the fountain here.

Cain: So that’s why….the villagers, they said they really wanted to give some to us 'honorable wizards.'

Owen: Oh, is that how it is? That means you, dear knight, are stealing treasure from this frozen, destitute village, when they already have so little to spare.

Cain: Do you always have to jump straight to being evil……I was feeling kinda awkward, so I did actually try to refuse at first.

Cain: But that just made it worse…they started getting anxious and telling me “they’d incur the animosity of wizards.” So I decided to take only as much as we can use in the Sage’s manor.

Owen: ….Oh, really?

Owen: Hey, what if I lend you a hand?

Part 2:

-----------------------------

Owen: After all, it’s not every day I go out of my way to offer advice to a crude and tactless knight like you.

Cain: …..You know, every time you say something like that, nothing good ever happens…

Cain: But what you told me when we were fighting off the vines definitely helped me out.

Owen: What? I never said anything like that.

Cain: You’re the one who brought it up in the first place, so….. Well, there’s no time like the present. Why don’t you tell me the best way to pick up these scales then, Owen?

Owen: Well, if you insist-show me your way of gathering them, first.

Cain: Kay. ….. –Gladius Procella– !!

Cain: ..Alright! I think that did the trick, don’t you?

Owen: Really? You didn’t collect even half the number you wanted-I’m not sure how you could miss that many in the first place.

Owen: Well don’t just stand around, then-get in the water. You’re picking the rest up by hand.

Cain: By hand?

Owen: You use magic from your heart. So someone as graceless as you are would never be able to pick up such tiny objects.

Owen: Since that’s the case, don’t you think picking them up by hand would be far more efficient?

Cain: Well, yeah…?

Owen: If you understand me so well, then go on. Why don’t you start with the one right under your nose? There’s one in the shade of those rocks too.

Cain: Um, here and….over there…..

Owen: Behind you-turn around. Look, the ripples you're causing are making them float away. After you get that one, there’s another over here too.

Owen: Oh, looks like one drifted over here by my feet. Come on, kneel. Quickly now, before it gets away.

Cain: ….

Cain: Are you really having fun ordering me around like I’m a dog?

Owen: Ohoho, what a terrible thing to say-I would never.

Owen: You should pick that one up there next. Well, go on, Cain. Fetch.
