“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.

—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 - chapter 0

(chosen choices are marked with ✦, im not sure if it makes a difference though. lines with a (?) i am unsure if they're right, but i did my best to find a translation that made the most sense)

??: Ah, here you are, I thought you were going to get tired of waiting and die. "Good morning?" Hello. Good evening? You've been alone for so long, you've forgotten how to say hello.

Who are you? Where are we? ✦

??: First, I'm the evil fortune teller who's counting on your future. Now they call me Mirror. Mirror: And here it is: ……. Yes, again, take that as a pipe dream. It's a conveniently strange dream, common in the early stages of a story.

Dream again....... ✦ I've already had enough of this. (?)

Mirror: No…… You're already fed up. 'Okay, I'll do my best to get this over with as soon as possible. As your Game Master, I'm here to give you the information you need. First, about the game board. The world you live in. I'm talking about this dream world: ……. Hear that?

I'm listening carefully. ✦ Please be quick about it.

Mirror: Okay, then I'll try my best to explain. The dream world is literally a world where one cannot live without the power of dreams. What is the power of dreams? ……. A strong desire, a will for the future. Such invisible energy. Souls, are much like them. The power of dreams is shared by the Dream King, the top of the world, and nurtured by the people with their thoughts and feelings. What a romantic and wonderful system! Especially now, we are in a golden age. The power of dreams is strong, and people are developing their various talents. In such a glorious world, you are about to play a certain game. That's what is of interest to me now. The role given to you is very interesting. As an astrologer, let me make a prediction. In the future, the present happy dream world will be transformed. You will be the axis of it.

I don't understand ..... Well, this is a dream. ✦

Mirror: Hmm. It's hurtful to get that kind of reaction. Though I'm used to solitude. All right, all right. I'll close with some fortune-telling that will make you happy. Let's change the scene. I'll tell you who you are destined to meet in this story. Now, open the book. Well, there's no rule that says a fortune teller has to use a crystal ball, is there?

(Here you enter the tutorial gacha pull! You can reroll this as many times as you like by clicking the bottom left button, it is possible to get more than one 4 star here. The continue click the button to the right of the left one.)

Mirror: --Did you have any good luck? (?) This concludes the usual monthly introduction to the story. I hope that you will be able to relieve some of my boredom. I'm a bystander, but a fan of yours. Maybe a little favoritism if the developments are interesting. Then go. When you wake up, you will forget this dream. May the fairies bless you.

(From here you'll be guided to the first chapter of the story, I reccommend using yumekuro_tl's translations for the story here on out!)

Welcome Toy Market ⚜︎ Map Interactions [EN Translation]

Fan-translations of the lil map chats from the Toy Market event 🧸 ft. Sion, Towa, Gui, and their respective fairies ✨

[Sion]

Sion: ...Slowly... Like this?

Towa: Sion-sama, you’re so hard at work making those toys. You’ve picked this up really nicely in such a short span of time.

Sion: No, I’ve still got a long way to go. Making these myself is what made me realize that. …Crafting by hand is really difficult.

I never realized that a single toy could take so much of a toll on you.

But I’m sure this is no match for the difficulties you face, as someone who handles automatas, or Gui, who builds magic tools. Right?

I can’t find the right words right now, but I guess what I mean is I really respect you all… Honestly, I just think it’s incredible.

Towa: It makes me happy to hear your praise, Sion-sama. But the value of a craft has nothing to do with how complicated the process is.

If you put your whole heart into it, that toy will be one of its kind, and that makes its value priceless. That’s what I think.

And I’m positive that that will be passed down to the one who ends up in possession of it. It will surely be cherished.

Sion: ......

...I see. Hearing that puts my mind at ease a little.

Towa: By the way, let’s backtrack to that comment about deepening your respect for Gui-sama...

He just passed by us. I think telling him directly would definitely facilitate communication between you.

Sion: !?

Gui: Did someone call me~?

Sion: ...Nobody did.

Gui: Huh? B-But, I could’ve sworn Towa-san just said the name “Gui.”

Sion: I just said that nobody called you.

Gui: Ee!? I-I’m sorry!

Towa: (Why did Sion-sama’s attitude change so abruptly? Human emotions really are so complicated...)

[Mateo]

Emma: Mateo, what do you say when a customer comes?

Mateo: Welcome…!

Many… toys! Toys… fun!

Emma: Excellent. Okay, and… Hello. May I have this doll?

Mateo: Yeah! …Ah…?

Next… what question?

Emma: ‘Is this for you, or would you like it gift-wrapped?’

Mateo: !! Right!

Agh… Talking to… customers… hard…

Emma: But you’ve gotten so much better since last time! Besides, all of us will be with you on the actual day, so don’t worry.

Mateo: Okay! Mateo… try hard!!

If I do… good job… make Sion happy?

Emma: Yes, he’ll be so happy!

Mateo: !! Mateo… try even… harder! Emma… thank you!!

Emma: You’re welcome. Okay, why don’t we take it from the top one more time?

Mateo: Yeah!

[Towa]

Emma: Towa, do you have a minute? I wanted to ask you something about toy-making…

Ah, Heinkel’s here too. Sorry, were you in the middle of something?

Heinkel: No, I’m just here to observe.

Emma: Observe?

Towa: I’m servicing my automata.

Emma: (Oh, that bear automata…)

Is that the one you always carry with you?

Towa: Yeah. I haven’t had the time to perform a proper maintenance on it lately.

Emma: (He has a really gentle look on his face…) You take such good care of them.

Towa: …Yes. They are, without question, very dear to me.

Heinkel: …Towa, is it alright if I could observe you one more time? After Emma finishes what she needs.

I’d like to be far more dependable at healing the ones dear to someone dear to me.

…Hm? I apologize. That was a rather confusing sentence.

Towa: Don’t worry, I understood you perfectly. I really appreciate how thoughtful you are, Heinkel-sama.

[Heinkel]

Platinum: Yo, Heinkel-sensei. Could you fix this broken toy for me? Towa and Gui weren’t available. They told me to come to you.

Heinkel: Mm…? I don’t mind, of course, but… Platinum. I’m having trouble believing you only want the toy fixed.

I figure there must be a reason for it…

Platinum: Oh, you’re pretty sharp. Yeah, you’re right. This guy could sell real high if it was fixed up some.

Heinkel: I see. That sounds more like you.

Platinum: What? Are you not gonna fix it ‘cause you don’t like that reason or somethin’?

Heinkel: Heh, don’t misunderstand me. My mission is to heal everything regardless of what the reason may be.

Even if you were to have malicious intentions, that will not prevent a mended toy from serving its purpose to me again.

Platinum: I don’t think you were tryin’ to do this, but that sentence is slicing me up like a knife.

But whatever. I’ll leave this with you. And I’m just saying this from a professional standpoint, but I think those toys would’ve preferred that over going unsold.

Heinkel: In some way or another, you have a very practical spirit… or maybe I should say you’re very business-minded. I don’t hate that in itself. I’ll most certainly take this for you.

(Platinum leaves)

Heinkel: Now… Where should I start?

So that this body you were born with may shine again, I will heal you with all of my spirit.

[Gui]

Boy: Thank you for the toy, Oniichan!

Sion: No problem, thank you for purchasing it. There are a lot of people around here, so make sure you don’t wander away from your parents, okay?

Boy: Okay! Bye-bye!

Gui: ......

Sion: Gui? What’s the matter?

Gui: Ah! It’s nothing, just… I was just noticing how gentle you sound when you talk to kids…

Sion: When you put it that way, you make it sound like I'm normally mean to you guys.

Gui: Ee!! Th-That’s not what I meant at all! But, I guess sometimes you are a little scary…!?

Sion: I don’t mean to be doing that. But is my attitude here proving your point? I apologize if I’ve ever hurt you.

Gui: N-No, no, no, no! I should be the one apologizing…!?

I was just a little jealous of hearing you talk so nicely…

Sion: ……..

I mean, I could try to force myself. But it’ll probably seem like I’m a completely different person.

If you’re fine with me turning into an angelic oniisan every time we talk, even back at the guild, then I’ll think about it.

Gui: ……

That doesn’t sound like it’d be good for your mental health, so I think I’ll decline…

Sion: ……Okay. I’ll try to watch my attitude next time we talk.

[Platinum]

Girl: Hey, Oniichan. What kind of toy is this kitty here?

Platinum: Oh ho, little girl. You have an excellent eye. That is the craftsmanship of the highly talented meister Towa.

Its cute factor is not the only thing it has going for it. If you press its belly just a smidge, like so——

Stuffed Cat Toy: Meow~

Girl: Wow!! It meowed! That’s so cool!

Platinum: Hahaha, isn’t it? I guarantee that your days would be so much more fun with this little friend to talk to.

Girl: Okay! I’ll take it please!

Platinum: Oh, thank you for your patronage. Make sure to brag about it to all your friends, alright?

Towa: Platinum-sama, how are things over h——?

…! You’ve already sold this much? This is a feat I could never accomplish.

Platinum: Ahh~ That’s because you’re missing a little something from your dialogue, Towa.

But you know, talking up a product’s strengths is one of the basics of business.

No matter how good a product you make, it’ll all go down the drain if it never falls into the hands of someone who’ll use it. You know?

Towa: ...Yes. Once you make something, it should end up serving someone. I really appreciate your help, Platinum. Thank you.

Platinum: No problem. You promised I’d get paid plenty, anyway.

Plus... I gotta make it clear to Gui and Emma once again that I’m a guy who knows what he’s doing.

Oh yeah, Towa. Let’s keep this teamwork up till the Toy Market’s over. Yeah?

Towa: Yes, let’s keep it up.

“A Wondermare Dinner”

After coming back from our walk, we tell the flamingo gentleman and Oscar-san all about what happened on the date.

Oscar: So he fed you and Feld to the wolves and bolted, did he?

Flamingo Gentleman: Please let me apologize on my grandson’s behalf... Did he do anything else to you?

Emma: Actually, there was another incident... but Feld got angry and stepped in for me, so nothing happened.

Emma: It definitely gave your grandson a shock, so I would say we achieved your goal, sir.

Feld: ...All I did was succumb myself to anger.

Feld: Even though you told me to keep myself in check.

Emma: But you intervened before something bad happened to me, didn’t you?

Emma: You kept yourself in check for me until then... Thank you.

Oscar: It seems it was the correct choice to assign Feld as your guard.

Oscar: Your anger is never groundless. That young man must’ve learned his lesson after being scorched by the flames of reason.

Feld: ...Let’s hope.

Flamingo Gentleman: Now, everyone. I’m sure you must be tired. Why don’t you stay for dinner as my way of thanking you?

Oscar: Gladly.

Feld: You didn’t think twice!?

Oscar: As a gastronomer, there’s no way I can miss this chance. I would love to observe you in the kitchen, if you don’t mind.

Some time later—a lavish dinner is arranged on the table in front of us.

Flamingo Gentleman: ...!? M-My stars! I’ve used these ingredients all my life, and yet... how can this food be so delicious!?

Oscar: While I was observing you, I took it upon myself to taste and adjust your dishes a little.

Feld: Oi, you weren’t supposed to intervene.

Oscar: Of course. I’m already familiar with my own cooking capabilities.

Feld: That’s fine, then... Anyway, what are these mushrooms? They’re so jiggly it’s making my blood boil.

Feld scoops up a transparent, jiggling mushroom from his plate with a spoon.

Emma: It’s just as clear as water...

Oscar: That’s a “Hide-n-Seek Shroom,” native to Wondermare alone.

Oscar: It’s seasoned with rock salt and a seafood stock strained until it runs completely clear. Give it a try.

Feld: ...I suppose I must, then. It’d be rude to leave anything on my plate.

I can’t help but break into a smile at the sight of Feld reaching for the food.

And then——as we’re finally finishing our dessert, the elderly gentleman bows at us once again.

Flamingo Gentleman: Thank you very much for today. I’m extremely grateful for your help.

Emma: I hope this could help relieve your troubles, at least a little bit.

Right as I answer him——

The young flamingo man suddenly appears in front of us. Without wasting a second, he comes right up to me.

Feld: Oi! Don’t you dare approach Mis—er, my sister!

Young Flamingo Man: D-Don’t get the wrong idea! I’m not trying anything!

Young Flamingo Man: I just couldn’t bear to let her slip away like that...!!

The young man resolutely hangs his head in front of me.

Young Flamingo Man: From today onwards, I’m a new man. So—

Young Flamingo Man: Give me another chance!

Feld, Oscar & Emma: Wha...!? / Oh? / Huh!?

“A Day in the Land of Wonders”

—WONDERMARE, THE LAND OF WONDERS - CHRONOPLUME—

Emma: We’ve tried asking around the town, but it doesn’t seem like anyone knows how to leave this country...

Feld: I wanted to leave here as soon as possible... Agh, my blood is boiling!

You see, we didn’t come to the Land of Wonders by choice—

Up until just a few hours ago, we were supposed to be at Édouard Castle.

Between drinks and merrymaking, we were grappling with a request given to us by some royal family: to put together a tea party.

But then, we were abruptly pulled into an irresistible sleep, and woke up to find ourselves lost in the Land of Wonders.

Rouge: So it sounds like this “Alice” is our best bet to finding our way home?

Emma: Yes. People have said that all kinds of strange things have been happening here ever since Alice arrived.

Volks: What do you say we split up to search for her whereabouts?

Oscar: No objections on my end. Given that time flows unpredictably, let’s plan to regroup here after the third shift between day and night.

Oscar: Although, they say the terrain tends to often rearrange itself. We can’t say for certain whether we’ll be able to meet up again, but we have no other option.

Rouge: Well, see ya later~

Volks: Be careful, everyone.

Emma: Okay, we should get going too... ah, woah!

As soon as I’d taken a step forward, dozens of little chicks began falling from the sky.

Emma: I-It’s raining chicks...?

Feld: Egh! Even the weather is full of nonsense...!

Oscar: I’m very curious about the taste of eggs laid by Land of Wonders chickens. Should I bring some home to raise them?

Feld: Oscar! Knock it off, leave them alone!!

(Feld materializes)

Feld: And you chicks! Oscar and Mistress are not your parents! Shoo, shoo!

The chicks crowd around Oscar and I for a moment, before forming a straight line and marching off somewhere.

Emma: Um, as I was saying—wah!?

Feld & Oscar: Mistress!? / Emma!

All of a sudden, the ground transforms into slippery ice. Feld catches me just as I lose my balance.

Feld: ...That was close. Glad you didn’t hit your head.

Emma: Th-Thank you.

Feld: Good grief... curious, curious, curious!! This land is so curious, it’s overdoing it!!

Oscar: The Land of Wonders certainly lives up to its name.

Oscar: I’d like nothing more than to take my time indulging in all the strange cuisine this land has to offer, but finding Alice must be our priority right now.

Emma: With the way things are going, we’ll have a hard time just making our way through the town...

??: Oh my, young lady and company. Something is troubling you, I take it?

Turning in the direction of that voice, we see an old, gentlemanly flamingo, dressed in a fine tuxedo.

Feld: ...There’s really nothing impossible in this land, is there?

When we explain that we’re looking for someone named Alice, the elderly gentleman’s face lights up.

Flamingo Gentleman: I do believe I can help you with that.

Flamingo Gentleman: In exchange... perhaps you could fulfill a request of my own.

Emma: We’ll do our best to help you if we can!

Flamingo Gentleman: You have my utmost gratitude. I’m terribly sorry to be asking so much, but—

Flamingo Gentleman: Young lady, would you be willing to go on a date with my grandson?

Feld & Oscar & Emma: Hah? / Hm? / Huh...?

Emma: A date!?

“It All Depends On How You Cook It”

After leaving the elderly gentleman’s estate, we head into town to look for a place to stay.

Feld: ......

Emma: Feld, what’s the matter?

Feld: It’s just... Despite being in a place for eating, I escalated our meal into a fit of angry shouting. I apologize.

Oscar: I’m amused that you call it a “place for eating.” It seems I’ve rubbed off on you quite a bit.

Feld: Ngh...! Th-That’s because I hear so much of your obnoxious ramblings about gastronomy, they’re imprinted in my ears!

Emma: Hehe, I didn’t mind at all. Everyone was just about finished eating, anyway.

Oscar: Back then, your anger was a means of expressing your emotions, not just a fit of angry shouting.

Feld: ...? What’s the difference?

Oscar: You can’t tell?

Oscar: You were angry at the fact that Emma was being belittled.

Oscar: Your friends and companions, your family—it’s natural to feel furious when the ones you treasure are degraded or belittled.

Oscar: Even if you’re at a place for eating.

Emma: I was very happy you got angry for me, Feld.

Feld: ......!

Emma: I feel bad for the grandson, but I couldn’t will myself to go out with him no matter what he said...

Emma: And I’m sure that was for the best.

Oscar: I’m positive that he’s now alone, musing over those words you hurled at him upfront.

Oscar: That should lead him to reflect on himself, and change by tomorrow... Well, perhaps it’s too soon to say that.

Oscar: At least, you most definitely made an impact on him. I believe that’s a sign he’ll change.

Feld: ......

Emma: ...Feld?

Feld: ...Goodness. My head is spinning.

Feld: This swirling anger inside of me was born of overwhelming despair...

Feld: It was an ostracizing burden not even I could keep under control, and I couldn’t stand it...

Feld: And yet, when I’m with you both, I find hope in all the anger that surges within me.

Feld: Honestly... How absurd.

Oscar: I don’t find it absurd at all.

Oscar: All it takes is one cooking method— and even the most difficult ingredient to work with can turn into a fine dish.

Oscar: It’s a very common occurrence. It’s not something you need to worry about every time.

Emma: (Umm... Is the “difficult ingredient” supposed to be his anger? And Oscar-san and I are the “cooking method”?)

Feld: Everything always ties back to gastronomy with you. You gourmet imbecile.

Oscar: That is the highest praise you could give me.

Feld: I’m not complimenting you!

Oscar-san and I can’t help but smile as Feld crosses his arms and looks the other way.

When we first met, that angry shouting of his struck fear into my heart. But now, strangely, it invites a smile.

Oscar: Now... We’ve fulfilled our duty to that elderly gentleman.

Oscar: It’s time we come up with a plan to meet this “Alice”.

Oscar: Before we decide on the menu we’ll be serving, we need to learn more about this country’s cuisine.

Feld: Back to food again...? You really never get tired.

Emma: Hehe, but it’s just like him.

We set off after that, chatting as we walk, when all of a sudden I hear energetic voices in the distance.

Emma: That’s——

“Reasons To Be Angry”

Young Flamingo Man: From today onwards, I’m a new man. So—

Young Flamingo Man: Give me another chance!

Feld, Oscar & Emma: Wha…!? / Oh? / Huh!?

Feld: Enough with your impulsive nonsense!

Young Flamingo Man: I’m not being impulsive! I genuinely fell in love with her after our time together today.

Feld: “G-Genuinely”? That is all the more disgraceful! You are completely, utterly unforgivable...!

Emma: I’m really sorry, but my feelings haven’t changed.

Young Flamingo Man: W-Wait! I swear I’ll make you happy! I know... I’ll buy us a huge mansion in the lost woods!

Young Flamingo Man: I’ll arrange a carriage made out of a giant apple! Then I’ll employ, like, ten mice maids!

Feld: And where will you get the funds for this?

Young Flamingo Man: W-Well...

Flamingo Gentleman: Look at me all you like. I won’t give you one bit.

Young Flamingo Man: Ah...

Feld: What did I tell you!? You came in here announcing you had a change of heart, but already you’re falling back on someone else again!!

Feld: And what I cannot forgive above all else... is that you thought you could ever win over Mis—no, my sister...!!

Feld: She stands here as someone who devotes all of her efforts to dreams and to the people, every day of her life.

Feld: You could never tempt her with your extravagant splurges! How dare you demean her like that!!

Emma: (Feld...)

Feld: Ahh... The heat of my fury is driving me mad! Let me burn this spoiled brat to cinders, now...!!

Emma: Umm, calm down, Oniichan!

Feld: How could I calm down!? And Oscar, add something! Why are you staying quiet!?

Oscar: You’re carrying my anger for me.

Oscar: Also, our sister is not so weak that she needs two of us to defend her. However——

Elegantly setting down his silverware, Oscar turns to face the young flamingo.

Oscar: While not as quick as Feld’s, I hope you know I have a temper myself.

Oscar: If you subject me to any more of your nonsense, I will be forced to pick up my napkin.

Oscar: As it happens, I’m quite interested in the taste of barbecued flamingo.

Young Flamingo Man: E-Eek~!!

The young man frantically opens a nearby window and slips outside.

Feld: ...Oi, Oscar. You weren’t serious about wanting to eat him, were you?

Oscar: Of course it was a joke. Even I have my limits when it comes to food.

Emma: You were so intense there, I almost fell for it for a second.

Flamingo Gentleman: I am terribly embarrassed this keeps happening, but I pray my grandson learns his lesson this time.

Emma: I hope so. This was all the help we could give you, so I’ll pray things improve.

Emma: (I was so surprised he actually tried to woo me...)

Emma: (The way Feld and Oscar-san got angry on my behalf made me really happy.)

——She stands here as someone who devotes all of her efforts to dreams and to the people, every day of her life.

Feld’s angered words keep resounding over and over in my ears.

“The Flamingo’s Troubles”

We went to a nearby restaurant to hear the details of the elderly gentleman’s request.

Emma: So, about that date—

Oscar: Emma, don’t be so hasty. You’re in a restaurant, so think about ordering first.

Oscar: “Mandrake’s Spite Soup” and “Mind’s Eye Hot Pie”...

Oscar: “Lost Woods Gratin ~Garnished with Wishful Thinking~”? Hmm, all of these sound very interesting...

Feld: Argh! Even at a time like this, all you care about is food, food, food...!

Feld: This is not the time to be casually perusing the menu! Just decide on something so we can focus on our main issue here!!

Emma: Feld, there are other guests here; could you please keep your voice down...!

Feld: Ngh... I apologize.

A little while later, they brought out drinks and desserts for four—

Oscar: Oh...!

Twinkling marshmallows bob in the hot chocolate, while gingerbread man cookies scramble to escape the table.

Oscar turns his gaze to the flamingo gentleman as he captures the fleeing cookies.

Oscar: Now, let’s focus on our main issue here. You mentioned a “date,” correct?

Flamingo Gentleman: Correct. However, when I say “date,” I only mean for show. I was hoping the young lady could reject my grandson.

Feld: What does that mean!?

Flamingo Gentleman: Growing up, my grandson was spoiled rotten, with everything spoon-fed to him. So he’s become quite entitled and trouble-free in his adulthood.

Flamingo Gentleman: He came to stay with me after his parents passed, but... nothing gets through his head no matter how much I admonish or scold him.

Oscar: So you’re looking for a third party to thoroughly reject him, in an attempt to make him reflect on himself?

Feld: It’s true that if you’re entitled enough, you’d never even dream that someone might not choose you.

Feld: It’s hard to say if he’ll have a change of heart just like that, though.

Emma: I understand your situation about the date, but why me?

Flamingo Gentleman: Well... When I approached my grandson about finding a spouse, he told me: “I want someone with long legs or I’m not taking it.”

Flamingo Gentleman: So I spurred these old bones of mine into action and flew east and west, but alas! I could never find the perfect candidate...

Flamingo Gentleman: That was until the moment I laid my eyes on you, young lady. I knew you were the one.

Emma: Huh!? I think I’m rather short compared to you, Mr. Flamingo, but... it sounds like you went through a lot of trouble.

Feld: ...Oi, Mistress. I know you have a kind heart, but don’t let that blind you.

Feld: Are you really going to believe a person—no, a bird you just met?

Flamingo Gentleman: If you don’t trust me, then allow me to grant your request first.

Oscar: Can you tell us where Alice is?

Flamingo Gentleman: Unfortunately, I don’t know that. But I do know a way you can meet her.

Flamingo Gentleman: It’s by having a tea party.

Flamingo Gentleman: They say she loves to have a good time. She shows up at tea parties held on Unbirthdays every once in a while.

Oscar: Oh? Then I suppose we’ll add a tea party to our agenda.

Emma: (Thank goodness, a step in the right direction...!)

Flamingo Gentleman: So... Young lady, would you be willing to help me with this?

Flamingo Gentleman: I am well aware of how much I’m asking of you. It’s perfectly fine if you decline.

Feld: Forget about the date.

Feld: ...That’s what I’d like to say, but the choice is yours. Mistress, what’s your plan?

Emma: I—

“The Signs Right in Front of Us”

Shaymie: Woah!? I-It got dark!

Emma: What’s wrong, Shaymie!?

When Rouge-san and I rush over, Shaymie stops moving and instead starts blinking non-stop.

Shaymie: Ah... I’m all better!

Emma: “All better”? What happened? Are you okay?

Shaymie: Yeah! That surprised me but I’m okay~ I can see fine now~

Rouge: Are you saying you couldn’t see before?

Emma: ...!?

Shaymie: Uh, ahaha...

Emma: Are you not feeling well? Please, Shaymie, tell us the truth.

Shaymie: Uh... I-I guess sometimes I feel a little off?

Shaymie: Sometimes I can’t taste anything, and other times I can’t hear your voices...

Shaymie: Just now, everything in front of me suddenly got dark, so it really surprised me.

Rouge: Shaymie...

Emma: (This must be a side effect of that drink. Now that I think about it—)

(Flashback)

Shaymie: The flowers’ song… The cards on the end have music notes, the top right has the sun… peaches, grapes, apples, oranges, strawberries…

Emma: Shaymie?

Rouge: Are you feeling alright? You were spacing out.

Shaymie: Ahaha… All kinds of things are bouncing around my head, I got kinda woozy~!

Shaymie: Mm~? Hmm… I feel like it’s not as sweet as it was before~?

Rouge: …….

Shaymie: …Oh well! That’s fine! I’m gonna learn lots of more stuff~!

(End flashback)

Emma: (...The signs were all there.)

I bite my lip, deeply regretting that I never stopped him despite feeling so worried.

Emma: Shaymie, I’m so sorry for making you force yourself.

Rouge: I’m sorry too. I should’ve stopped you back then.

Shaymie: Ah, don’t apologize! You guys didn’t do anything wrong. I drank it because I wanted to.

Shaymie: It makes me happy to help you. And I wanna help you lots and lots more!

Rouge: ...I’m happy you think that. Having you here has helped us more than we can count.

Rouge: But let’s not have anymore of that drink from now on.

Shaymie: Huh? But there’s still some left!

Emma: You wouldn’t want to lose another one of your senses, right?

Shaymie: I-It’s fine! They come back after a while!

Emma: No more, Shaymie. You’ll only keep getting worse if you continue drinking it.

Rouge: Just like Emma-chan, I don’t want you to wear yourself out.

Shaymie: N-No! No way! I still wanna help you lots more!

Shaymie: Even if my ears can’t hear anymore, or if my eyes can’t see anymore! That’s okay with me!

Shaymie: Please, Rouge, let me have more of that drink...!

Rouge: No means no.

Shaymie desperately jumps up and down in an attempt to grab the bag containing the bottle, but Rouge holds it above his head.

A combination of unease and sadness begins to brew inside me as I watch that scene play out.

“Mysterious Challenge”

As we make our way out of the flower field, a table appears before us, accompanied by a sweet aroma.

Emma: This must be the tea party that the dog told us about, right...?

Rouge: Probably. But looks like there’s no one here, let alone our mysterious star Alice.

Shaymie: Mm? Look, something’s falling~

Shaymie jumps up to catch a sheet of paper as it flutters down from the sky.

Emma: It has something written on it. Let’s see... “Would you like to meet me? All you have to do is have more and more fun.”

Alongside those words is a list of what sounds like instructions.

Emma: Do you think by “me,” this could be Alice?

I subconsciously glance upwards, but all I see is the vast azure sky above.

Rouge: This feels like some kind of challenge... or maybe more like, quests?

Emma: Maybe we’ll get to see her if we carry these out.

Shaymie: Then what are we waiting for~? Rouge, which one should we do first~?

Rouge: Mm... What about this? “Today is an Unbirthday! Host a tea party”!

Emma: These are oddly specific instructions... The teacups must be the color of roses, and the sugar pot must be shaped like a cat?

Shaymie: Oh, they had those at the restaurant we were at! We can go borrow them~

Emma: And that clears up our tea party! The next quest is... “Sing a song for me with the singing flowers.”

Rouge: Ehh! Weren’t the singing flowers all the way back at the forest?

Rouge: I don’t even remember where they were~

Shaymie: I do! I remember where the flowers are! I’ll lead the way~

Rouge & The Flowers: ♪~ ♪ ♪~~

Shaymie: Wow! Your voice is super duper pretty~! I wanna hear you sing with the flowers again!

Rouge: Hehe, thank you. I’ll give you an encore when we’ve got time.

Rouge: Emma-chan, what’s our next quest?

Emma: Um, “Make a rainbow bouquet.” ...Did we see rainbow-colored flowers anywhere?

Rouge: Hm... I don’t think so. We could make one using a variety of colored flowers, so that it looks like a rainbow?

Shaymie: There were red flowers blooming near the restaurant! I also saw blue ones on the riverbank, and orange ones in the flower field!

Thanks to Shaymie, we got through the quests very quickly. Before we knew it, we only had one left.

Shaymie: The last one says~... “Find your way out of the rose maze?”

Emma: Rose maze—?

(Flash!)

Rouge & Shaymie & Emma: Ouh! / Wah! / Woah!

The very next second after the three of us tilted our heads in confusion, a hedge of roses appeared before us.

Emma: Th-They weren’t kidding when they said anything can happen in the Land of Wonders...!

Rouge: Ahaha, Rouge-san’s already gotten used to this.

Shaymie: Ehehe, I think I can help you get through the maze! Let’s go~!

Emma: Oh, hold on, Shaymie!

Rouge: ...Uh oh, another dead end.

Shaymie: Then how about we turn back and go left? We haven’t gone that way yet~!

Emma: (Having Shaymie here really saved us...)

Putting our full confidence in Shaymie, Rouge-san and I continue following his sure-footed guidance, but then——

Shaymie: Woah!? I-It got dark!

I hear Shaymie suddenly shout out of nowhere, and look up to see him anxiously spinning in circles.

Emma: What’s wrong, Shaymie!?

“Looking For Alice”

During our search for Alice’s whereabouts, we were challenged to yet another game.

Dog: Come, I have a quiz for you! What were the fruits depicted on this card?

Rouge: Hu hu hu! Even I know this one. The answer is: a peach, an apple, grapes, a strawberry, and an orange!

Dog: And in what order?

Rouge: Huh?

Rouge: Uhh... I’ll let Emma-chan take over!

Emma: Um, the peach was on the far left. I feel like the grapes were next, or maybe it was the apple...

Shaymie: I remember all of it~! Starting from the far left, it was the peach, the grapes, the apple, the orange, and then the strawberry!

Dog: BINGO~!

Rouge: Woah!? Our little Shaymie’s an actual genius!

Shaymie: Ehehe! I love remembering everything~!

Emma: You’ve been saving us again and again today. Thank you, Shaymie. I really mean it.

Shaymie: No no, being helpful to you and Rouge makes me happy!

Dog: Now, you wanted to know where Alice is, correct?

Dog: Alice was having a tea party over there when the moon and stars were sharing a dance!

Rouge: Hmm...? So, at nighttime?

Dog: When the moon and stars were sharing a dance!

Emma: I guess for now let’s just head that way.

Just as we set off in the direction the dog pointed us in, Shaymie abruptly stops walking.

Shaymie: Mm... ngh....

Shaymie: The flowers’ song... The cards on the end have music notes, the top right has the sun... peaches, grapes, apples, oranges, strawberries...

Emma: Shaymie?

Shaymie: ......!

Rouge: Are you feeling alright? You were spacing out.

Shaymie: Ahaha... All kinds of things are bouncing around my head, I got kinda woozy~!

Shaymie: I don’t usually remember anything, so I never knew what it was like. Having a memory can be pretty rough, huh?

Emma: (I guess anyone would feel disoriented if their memory suddenly improved that much...)

Emma: Shaymie, make sure not to push yourself. You can rest in your key for a little bit if you need to, okay?

Shaymie: It’s okay, I’ll stay with you two! It makes me super duper happy to help out.

Shaymie: Plus I remember everything even without drawing it in my diary. I can’t ever get rid of this drink~

Emma: Ah, Shaymie...!

He takes out the bottle again and gulps down the pink liquid.

Emma: I don’t think you should drink any more of this.

Shaymie: It’s okay, it’s okay~! It’s super sweet and tasty. ....Wait, huh?

Shaymie: Mm~? Hmm... I feel like it’s not as sweet as it was before~?

Rouge: .......

Shaymie: ...Oh well! That’s fine! I’m gonna learn lots of more stuff~!

Rouge: Hey, Shaymie? Are you really okay?

Shaymie: ? I promise I’m fine~

Rouge: Really, really?

Shaymie: Really, really~!

Rouge: ...Alright, I hear you.

Rouge: But just like Emma-chan said, don’t push yourself. Okay? At all.

Shaymie: Okay! Now c’mon, let’s get going~!

Emma: ......

Emma: (I’m a little concerned about the way he was acting earlier... but he looks like he’s having a lot of fun.)

Emma: (I guess I’ll just take his word for it, and keep watching over him a little longer...)

“No Clue, But That I Know”

As we were searching for a way to escape the Land of Wonders, a black rabbit suddenly sprung out from the shadow of a tree.

Emma: Oh, how cute!

Rouge: This is the Land of Wonders, you know. Maybe it can talk or dance?

Rabbit: Of course I can. I’m quite skilled at the waltz, in fact.

Rouge & Emma: Woah! / Huh!?

Shaymie: Ahaha, it actually spoke~!

Rabbit: What a peculiar thing to say. You lot are a bunch of rabbits yourselves, no? And you’re speaking just as I am.

Rouge: Ahaha, I guess that’s true! Consider me a rabbit that can sing and dance.

Emma: Excuse me, Mr. Black Rabbit. Do you know how to leave this country?

Rabbit: I don’t have a clue, but that I know.

Rabbit: I may not know, but if you’d like to know all that I know, you must defeat me at a game.

Rouge: This sounds kinda confusing... but I guess we should just take him on?

The game he proposed involves flipping over cards to collect matching pairs.

Rabbit: Now, who would like to be my opponent?

Shaymie: Me me! I wanna try!

Shaymie rummages through Rouge-san’s bag before pulling out a bottle of pink liquid.

Emma: Huh? Is that the drink you found at the restaurant?

Rouge: Wait a minute, when did that get in there!?

Shaymie: It was when you said “I want some booze...” and Emma stopped you~!

Shaymie: My head snaps into crystal-clear focus when I drink this~!

Emma: But is that allowed in the game...?

Rabbit: Certainly! I am a generous soul, after all.

Shaymie: Thank you~... *gulp gulp* Mm, super sweet and tasty ♪

After gulping down the drink, Shaymie begins playing against the rabbit.

Shaymie: Umm, the music note cards... here and here!

(He flips two cards)

Emma: Wow, you got it right again!

Shaymie: And then... this one and this one match too! Ah, I think the flower cards were right here~

Rabbit: Eh!? Ehhh!? How did you remember all that!?

With his extraordinary memory, Shaymie flips through all the cards in no time.

Shaymie: Did I help you guys~?

Emma: Yes, very much! I wouldn’t have been able to memorize them like you.

Rouge: Having you here, it’s like you’re stealing all of Rouge-san’s chances to shine.

Shaymie: Ehehe, I’m gonna shine even more~♪

Shaymie: Well, I won... What can you tell us, Mr. Rabbit?

Rabbit: It’s something I don’t have a clue about, that I know. I know that I don’t know how to leave this country.

Rabbit: I also know that Alice knows what I don’t know.

Rouge: Ahaha, talking to you makes my head hurt.

Shaymie: Who’s Alice? Where is she~?

Rabbit: Alice is simply Alice. She is everywhere, and she is neither here nor there.

Rouge & Shaymie & Emma: Hmm...?

Our discussion went nowhere, as he answered with nothing but riddles no matter how many questions we asked.

Emma: I guess for now we should go look for this “Alice” person.

Rouge: Yeah, you’re right. I’ve got no idea where we’d find her, though.

Shaymie: Let’s do our best to look~! Ready, set, go~!

Rouge: Go~!

Emma: Hehe, you’re so fired up, Shaymie.

With Shaymie hopping up and down in front of us, Rouge-san and I trail behind him with smiles on our faces.

“A Curious Drink”

Shaymie: Wah! Another fork in the road~

Rouge: OK, let’s turn right.

Emma: You sound full of confidence, Rouge-san.

Emma: (Well, as a member of the world exploration guild Moon Wanderers, of course he’d know a lot about explori—)

Rouge: It’s just a hunch, so if this ends up being wrong… sorry!

Emma: (...Nevermind!)

Shaymie: Emma, Rouge! Didn’t we pass through here earlier? I recognize the pattern on these tree trunks.

Shaymie: Since we went right last time, let’s go… left~!

Confidently raising his hand, Shaymie leads the way—

Rouge: Hurray, we made it out~! All hail the great Shaymie, thank you!

Shaymie: Ehehe, you’re welcome~♪

Normally, Shaymie forgets everything within seconds. The reason he suddenly gained extraordinary memorization skills is because... well…

(Flashback)

——A few hours before everything began.

After the royal family of a far-off kingdom asked us to put together a tea party, we all gathered at Édouard Castle.

We were enjoying drinks and friendly conversation when all of a sudden, we felt very, very sleepy.

The next time we woke up, we found ourselves in Wondermare, the Land of Wonders.

Somehow, we lost sight of Oscar-san and Volks-san, so the three of us set off to go find them…

Emma: Between talking flowers and candy that rains from the sky… What an incredible place we wound up in.

Rouge: Ahaha, never a dull moment here, huh? You rarely ever get to experience this kinda thing, so we should savor every second!

Shaymie (in Rouge’s voice): Savor every second! …Just pretending~!

Emma: Hehe. It’s true that running around in a panic won’t help us get us out of here.

Emma: (The fact that I’m here with these two puts me a little at ease.)

We continued on our search like that, and stumbled upon a lone building in the forest.

Emma: Is this… a restaurant? No one’s here.

Rouge: Woah, this food’s making my mouth water~! And there’s tons of booze I’ve never tried before!

Shaymie: Tons~! …Wait, huh? What am I doing here~?

As I explained our situation to Shaymie, Rouge-san glanced over the tables.

Rouge: There’s a card left here. Let’s see… “Welcome to the Restaurant Without Orders”?

Rouge: “Your body knows what it wants. Please make yourselves at home and enjoy.”

Emma: The food might look normal, but this feels really suspicious. We probably shouldn’t eat this—

Shaymie: Wah! What a pretty pink! I’m taking this drink~!

Rouge & Emma: Ouh!? / Huh!?

Shaymie: *gulp* …Pwah! It’s super sweet and tasty~!

Emma: Shaymie, are you okay!? Does anything feel off?

Shaymie: Nope, I’m okay~!

Shaymie: “Your body knows what it wants. Please make yourselves at home and enjoy.” Y’know~♪

Rouge: Well, I know Rouge-san’s body is always craving alcohol, so lemme see~

Rouge: …Wait, huh?

Emma: Shaymie, you remembered what he said a second ago!?

(End flashback)

And so, ever since he had that drink, Shaymie’s memory has drastically improved.

Shaymie: Having a memory feels amazing~ I remember everything and I don’t even have to draw in my picture diary~!

Emma: (I’m glad he seems happy, but I hope there really won’t be any repercussions for drinking that suspicious liquid...)

TL notes: Re: Wondermare, the Land of Wonders. The "Land of Wonders" (fushigi no kuni) is the same term used for "Wonderland" in Japanese, but I'm adjusting the phrasing to both keep it distinct from Wondermare, and follow the naming pattern of all other countries in this game.

“More Memories Than We Can Share”

Wandering through the rose maze, we search here, there, and everywhere for a way out——

Shaymie: Hey hey, look here~! There’s something over there~?

Shaymie points to something. At the end of the hedges, there’s an archway with the word “GOAL” written in large letters.

Rouge: What!? It’s that obvious!?

Emma: But that marks the end of our quests! We might finally be able to see Alice.

With my heart beating in anticipation, we hurry through the extravagantly decorated archway.

“Congratulations.”

Emma: Hm?

Shaymie: What’s wrong~?

Emma: I heard a girl’s voice just now...

Rouge: Really? I didn’t hear anything. Ah! Do you think... it was a ghost!?

“Hehe, what delightful friends you have.”

Emma: (There it is again! Could this voice be...)

The moment the name “Alice” arises in my head, we suddenly begin to float in the air——

And the world around us flips upside down.

Emma: Huh...?

Rouge & Shaymie & Emma: Whoah!? / Wah~! / Ehhh!?

“Come play with me again!”

As if cued by the girl’s soft giggles, our bodies are tossed upwards—and we begin to fly through the blue sky.

Rouge: Whaaat!? What is this!? What’s happening!?

Shaymie: Wow, wow~! We’re flying in the sky~!

Emma: Are we really flying or are we falling!?

An endless blue sky stretches beyond our feet as we fall at the speed of light.

Looking upwards, the rose maze we had just been standing in gets further and further away.

Rouge: Make sure to stay close so we don’t lose each other!

Shaymie: Stay close~!

Braving through fierce winds and light-headedness, I channel all my strength into clutching Shaymie’s arm.

Emma: How far are we going to fall!?

Rouge: Until we hit rock bottom~!? Ahaha! Laughing’s all we can do right now~!!

Shaymie: Right~! Ahaha, this is fun~!

Shaymie: I don’t remember a thing about how we ended up like this! But it’s still super duper fun~!

The effects of that drink have completely worn off. There’s not a single trace left of the incredible memory he used to have.

But even still, a huge smile is taking up Shaymie’s whole face.

Emma: (He has such a sweet smile...)

Emma: (...What am I saying? This isn’t the time to be getting sentimental!)

Just as I open my mouth to ask what we should do, the three of us get enveloped into a huge cloud.

We fall down, down through the white cloud for a short while—

Then all of a sudden, the falling sensation vanishes. We find ourselves standing in a familiar place.

Emma: This is... Édouard Castle?

On top of the table, I see the untouched glasses and plates from the drinking party we had right before going to the Land of Wonders.

Oscar: Honestly... What a disaster that was.

Emma: ! Thank goodness you’re all safe!

Volks: I’m glad to see you three are alright as well. I was terribly worried ever since we lost sight of you.

Rouge: All kinds of crazy things kept happening. The “Land of Wonders” really did live up to its name.

While everyone is thrilled to see each other again, Shaymie cocks his head to the side in confusion.

Shaymie: What’s the Land of Wonders again~?

Emma: (...He didn’t remember after all.)

Emma: It’s a whimsical place with singing flowers and talking animals!

Rouge: You, me, and Emma-chan all went on a very fun adventure together.

Shaymie: What~! That sounds fun~.... Hm? Hmm? Wait, huh?

Shaymie: I don’t remember any of it, but I feel like I was kind of happy!

Shaymie: Like I was helpful to someone for the first time... Was that a dream?

Rouge & Emma: ......!

Seeing remnants of Shaymie’s memories resurface, Rouge-san and I exchange a glance.

Rouge: Hehe, that wasn’t a dream. Here’s what happened——

He and I tell Shaymie every detail about the experiences we shared in the Land of Wonders, alongside how much help he gave us.

Emma: You were so cool when you crushed him at that card game, Shaymie!

Shaymie: Ehh! Did that really happen!? I’ve gotta put that in my picture diary~!

Rouge: And at the end, the three of us flew through the sky! Ah, I guess it’s better to say we were falling.

Shaymie: What the heck! This sounds so fun~!!

Shaymie pulls out his picture diary from somewhere, and begins to eagerly scribble away.

Seeing his excitable voice and cheerful appearance, any exhaustion I had from wandering through the Land of Wonders melts away.

Emma: (Whether he has a memory or not, I really love Shaymie.)

Immortalized forever in his picture diary, he vividly captures the blue of that sky we flew through together.

“Shaymie’s Normal Self”

Shaymie: Please, Rouge, let me have more of that drink...!

Rouge: No means no.

Shaymie clings to Rouge-san, trying to get the bag that contains the drink.

Emma: ...You want it that badly?

Shaymie: Uh-huh...

Shaymie: ...Wanna know something? When I stopped forgetting everything immediately, I realized something...

Shaymie: Having a memory lets me be helpful to you guys. And I don’t have to draw things in my diary to remember them.

Shaymie: My days are a lot more fun when I can remember all the same things you do.

Shaymie: But... if I didn’t have the help of a strange power like that drink, I’d stay a forget-it-all forever and ever.

Tears slowly begin to well up in Shaymie’s big eyes.

Shaymie: I’ll lose all of my memories of you two... like Emma’s smile when she praises me... and Rouge’s singing...

Shaymie: My normal self forgets everything, even though I really don’t want to!

Emma: Shaymie...

Shaymie: That’s why I wanna stay this way! I wanna remember everything...!

Listening to his distressed cries breaks my heart. I couldn’t help myself from stepping forward to hug the figure in front of me.

Emma: ...You know, Shaymie. I really love your normal self.

Rouge: Me too. Getting to spend time with your normal self is all I need.

Shaymie: ...Even though the “normal Shaymie” can’t do anything?

Emma: That’s not true. Whenever I see your bubbly self, it brightens up my whole day.

Shaymie: Emma...

Rouge: Besides! Emma-chan and I remember every single one of the memories you forget.

Rouge: We’ll tell you everything about the times you don’t remember.

Rouge: Even if it takes an entire night, we’ll cover every detail. I’ll even sing the songs from your memories if you’d like.

Shaymie: ......

Shaymie: ...Someday, will you tell me about what happened today?

Rouge: Of course! And I’ll get Emma-chan to cover the flowers’ part of our song!

Emma: Hehe, I’ll make sure to practice plenty beforehand.

Shaymie stares at Rouge-san and I for a long, deep while. It’s almost like he’s trying to commit to heart the sight in front of him.

Shaymie: ...Rouge. You can throw away the drink.

Shaymie: I’ll go back to being the normal Shaymie.

Rouge: ...Of course.

Rouge-san takes the bottle out from his bag and pops off the cork.

And then he dumps out the pink liquid, which seeps into the bricks underneath us.

A short while later...

Rouge: Uh-oh, another dead end.

Shaymie: There’s a road over there that we haven’t gone through yet! You’ll know because there’s three different-colored roses all in a row—

Shaymie: ...Huh? Wait, huh? What colors were they again?

Emma: (His memory...)

Rouge: ......

Shaymie: Huh? Hey Rouge, what is this place again~?

Rouge: Heh... Ha ha ha~! We’re in a rose maze! And as soon as we clear it... of course! We’ll meet none other than Alice!

Shaymie: Alice~!! ...Who’s that again?

Emma: She’s the person we want to meet most right now. Could you help us look for the way out of the maze?

Shaymie: Sure thing, leave it to me~!

Shaymie’s huge ears sway as he happily bounces up and down.

He never sheds his innocence even when he loses his memory. Watching him, a sense of relief—and a little sadness—washes over me.

Scar ⟡ Beginning of a Bond (07)

[01] [02] [03] [04] [05] [06] [XX]

“Unshakable Ambition”

Several days after we successfully finished that event in Fairbelk, the Land of Toys——

I’d just come back to the guild home after a shopping trip. Two voices could be heard from the living room, clearly having fun.

Scar: Heh~? So when you have five numbers in order, and they all have the same suit, it’s called a ‘straight flush’?

Daste: Yeah. It’s rare you’ll ever get a hand like that, though.

Scar: Does that mean it’s the strongest combination to have?

Daste: Nah, there’s this thing even stronger called a ‘royal straight flush.’

Taking a casual peek at them, I see Scar and Daste sitting on opposite ends of a table littered with cards.

Emma: Hi guys, I’m home. Are you playing something…?

Scar: Ah! Emma-san, welcome back~ Daste’s teaching me how to play right now.

Daste: You’re back? Oh, wanna come join us then? I was just about to start an actual game.

Daste: Poker, baccarat, craps. We can play whatever.

Emma: …I feel like those are all casino games…

Daste: Well, yeah—it’s way more fun when we put somethin’ on the line. I’ll treat whoever wins to some of my signature booze.

Scar: Yay! I’ve never tried alcohol before so I’m excited~

Daste: That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Oh yeah, and the loser will get beat up by the winner.

Scar: Okay!

Emma: Don’t say ‘okay’... Um… Daste, come here.

I anxiously call Daste over to a corner of the room.

Daste: What? This is kinda out of nowhere.

Emma: You’re one to talk! Why are you introducing Scar to bets and alcohol all of a sudden?

Daste: Ohh… that.

After hesitating for a moment, he answers while aggressively scratching his head.

Daste: He’s basically like a human kid, right? He doesn’t even know how to function in life to begin with.

Daste: So I thought I’d just teach him some things about gettin’ by in society. At least enough so no one makes fun of him.

Daste: It’s not just for him… but for you and me too.

Emma: Th-That makes sense? I agree with what you’re saying, but…

Emma: (Why does he have to start with gambling and alcohol…!?)

Just as I’m about to continue, Scar pipes in.

Scar: Hey hey, what’re you two doing~? I wanna play poker~

Daste: Oh, poker! Sounds good, I’m comin’.

Daste raises a hand and walks back towards Scar.

Emma: (...Ever since that night with the fireworks, Daste has been acting like a big brother towards Scar.)

Emma: (And Scar himself seems a little friendlier than before, just like a little brother.)

Emma: (...Hmm. Considering everything that’s happened, this is a change I should be happy about.)

But… for better or for worse, Scar is very innocent. I just hope that Daste’s lessons won’t have a bad impact on him.

Emma: (I might lose a few hairs if he suddenly declares he wants to start throwing bombs one day…!)

(Card shuffling noises)

Scar: Okay, I call two cards!

Daste: Alright, I’ll call three.

Emma: Mm… I think I’ll just leave it like that…

And so—after talking Daste into it, we were a few minutes into a game, without betting on money or anything else.

During a pause in our conversation, I turn to Scar with a question.

Emma: Hey, Scar? When we watched the fireworks, remember how you kept your promise to not open any people?

Emma: Could you maybe… further that promise? To never open up anyone from here on out?

Scar: Ngh…

Scar: I don’t want to promise that I’ll never do it.

Scar: I already made up my mind that someday I’ll find a soul, no matter what. And seeing how beautiful those fireworks were… I can’t ever give up.

Scar’s eyes twinkle with ambition as he asserts himself.

Daste: ……

Daste: …Hey, do you think… it’s my fault he got this weird burst of motivation?

Emma: No way—

Emma: ……

Emma: W-Well, maybe a little… Hahaha…

[Scar’s POV]

Emma-san is beaming with pure joy from across the table.

As I wait for my turn, I remember the fireworks I saw the other day.

Scar: (Fireworks… They’re sparkly and really, really pretty…)

Scar: (They were so, so big and beautiful… That was the first time something impressed me enough to make my heart flutter.)

Scar: (If I could see Daste and Emma-san’s souls someday…)

Scar: (Would it impress me even more than before?)

Scar: …Hehehe.

Daste: Aah? What’re you laughin’ at? Is your hand that good?

Scar: Hehe~ Guess you’ll have to see~! Anyway, next person go! It’s your turn, Emma-san. Still not ready?

Emma: Sorry for making you wait… Okay, I got it!

She calls several cards.

And then, feeling unusually passionate, I bring my focus back to our game of poker as well.

TL notes: Regarding the usage of the term "call". In standard poker, a call means betting the same amount of chips that another player bet. The way the term was used in this chapter didn't seem to agree with its standard definition. I'm uncertain if that's because they are just playing their own variation (since Emma wanted a game without bets) or if its defintion can be flexible.
