CHAPTER 1

???: ......Thank you for saving me......
But...... I intended on turning into stone.
There’s no meaning in living after losing my beloved Talia.
I finally found a way to save her from her sorrowful existence, but it required magic that is far beyond me......
......Huh?
You would tell me a prophecy......? Someone like me......?
......333 years......
As long as I sleep there for 333 years......
I will be granted the weapons, or the magic tools, or the medium that will fulfill my desire......?
.......I understand. If it truly means a chance to meet her again, then......
I will obey your prediction for now.
I thank you with all my heart, be it a mere whim on your part......

✦✧☾✧✦

Mithra: Sigh...... What a pain......
We came all this way because Owen said the lord of the Forest of Dreams was acting strangely, but......
Now Owen himself is acting all strange. Ugh, it’s honestly such a pain......

Bradley: That’s my line.
I can’t believe those twins - it’s bad enough having to keep an eye on Owen, but they really went and foisted Mithra off on me too......

Mithra: Maybe I’ll burn this forest down.

Bradley: Cut that out! Hey, I didn’t catch it, but how exactly was he acting strange?

Mithra: What do you mean?

Bradley: I’m talking about Owen.

Mithra: Well...... He just went silent, and then completely froze.


CHAPTER 2

Bradley: You sure it’s not because you did anything weird?

Mithra: I didn’t. All I did was pluck away some briars wrapped around his feet.

Bradley: Briars?

Mithra: You know, those thorny things. I got pissed because they pricked me, so I grabbed those briars and plucked them off for him.
They had long roots that were pretty thick and strong.

Bradley: Oh yeah. Briar roots are strong stuff.
When I had my headquarters underground, sometimes they broke through the solid stone ceiling and grew all over the place.

Mithra: Huh..... Maybe that’s why.

Bradley: Why what?

Mithra: Owen also said something similar.
"A ceiling of briars. A world of thorns outside. That’s why I can’t get out of here."

Bradley: ............

Mithra: And then he fell quiet and froze. As if his time had stopped.

Bradley: .....Huh. He probably has bad memories of briars. I shouldn’t have asked.

Mithra: Bad memories?

Bradley: Think of it as something like a curse. Like an unforgettable scene that weighs heavily on your soul. ......Hmm?
This is rare. You don’t often find humans collapsed in a place like this.

Mithra: Maybe he’s dead?

Bradley: Nah, he’s alive. Okay......

Mithra: Are you going to help him?

Bradley: I guess. I mean, I’m all about that charity work right now.

Mithra: It’s tough being a prisoner. You even have to earn points by helping people out.

Bradley: You should try getting thrown in jail sometime soon. —Here’s some sugar. Eat.

Collapsed traveler: ......Uu......


CHAPTER 3

Bradley: You finally awake?

Collapsed traveler: ......Where am I...... Woah......

Bradley: Hey, don’t look away. Look at me. I’ll tell you the name of your saviour — it’s me, the great Bradley Bain.

Collapsed traveler: Brad......? Huh......?

Mithra: You can just call him Brad. It’s his nickname.

Bradley: Stop it with that embarrassing introduction.

Mithra: I have my own nickname too. The Sage gave it to me.


> Option

Mithra: It’s Mimi.

Bradley: What kind of situation made him give you a nickname like that?


> Option

Mithra: He calls me sleepyhead.

Bradley: So do you actually like it or not?


Mithra: It’s a secret. What’s your nickname?

Collapsed traveler: Uh..... Back in my hometown, they call me Funny Sammy......

Bradley: Ahaha! Good for you, Sammy. I’ll protect you and hand you over to the guy in charge, so make sure you sing stories of our great deeds.

Collapsed traveler: T-thank you! When I get back to my shop in Central Country, I’ll give you anything you want as my thanks......
......That’s right! I met a terrifying witch!

Bradley: A terrifying witch? What’s so surprising about that? I’ve never met a witch who wasn’t terrifying.

Mithra: Same here.

Collapsed traveler: She was a truly terrifying witch! Even Mithra of the North would be no match for her.......!

Mithra: I’m going to kill you.

Collapsed traveler: Gulp......

Bradley: Oh come on, don’t grab his neck!


CHAPTER 4

Collapsed traveler: ......Y-you surprised me! What are you doing all of a sudden!?

Bradley: Well, you went and ranked him below that witch.

Collapsed traveler: Huh?

Bradley: This guy here is Mithra.

Collapsed traveler: No way......!? But people say that no one’s ever seen his face and lived to tell the tale......!?

Mithra: Really? Then I suppose I should kill you too.

Collapsed traveler: ............! Ah...... I’m done for......
(Slump)

Bradley: Hey, he fainted. Geez, now I have to go through the extra trouble of carrying him......

Mithra: A witch stronger than me? Hmm, this could be interesting.
I’ll find her and be her opponent.

Bradley: Don’t pick on her. This guy probably just freaked out and blew the story up in his mind.

(Woosh)

Mithra: But what if he was serious?

Bradley: Then I could fall for a witch like that.

(Thunder, surroundings turn dark)

Mithra & Bradley: ............!?

Bradley: What’s going on!?

Mithra: It’s coming from the direction of the lord of the forest...... Where Owen and the others are. Let’s hurry over.

✦✧☾✧✦

Owen: ............
......Huh? Where am I......?
Tsk...... I don’t remember what happened. Not this again.

White: Owen, you’re finally awake!

Owen: White...... Where’s Snow?

Snow: I’m here.

Owen: ............!?


CHAPTER 5

Owen: ............!?
Blood? Don’t tell me you got hurt? You, of all people?

Snow: Ohoho. She caught me off guard.

Owen: Who did......?

Purple-eyed girl: ............

Owen: ......What’s with this girl with purple eyes and a choker......



Purple-eyed girl: Don’t get in my way.
I have no further reason to stay here now that I’ve obtained what I came for.

Owen: .....The thing you came here for?
Is that block of wood in your hands......

White: It’s a piece of the ancient tree, the lord of the Forest of Dreams. The forest was plunged into darkness because this girl bore a hole in the tree.

Owen: ............
Are you his daughter?

Purple-eyed girl: ............

Owen: Or are you him, but transformed? You give off the same detestable smell.
.......No, something’s different...... That’s not it.......

Purple-eyed girl: I won’t show any mercy if you mean to stand in Father’s way.

Owen: Hmph, give it your best try.
I’ll stuff you into my trunk.

Purple-eyed girl: I’ll make you food for my pet.

Mithra: Owen!

Owen: Mithra.....

Purple-eyed girl: Tsk...... There’s too many of them.

(Woosh)

Owen: You think you can escape?

Mithra: As if I’ll let you.
<< Arthi— >>

Owen: Stay out of this. She’s my prey.
<< Cure Memi— >>

Mithra: No, listen, she’s mine. You see, someone picked a fight with me by saying that I’m weaker than that woman.

Owen: Who even said that to you?

Mithra: This guy here. Hey, wake up.

Collapsed traveler: U-ugh...... Ah...... Hello. My nickname is Funny Sammy.

Owen: Huh? Did I even ask?


CHAPTER 6

Snow: Mithra dear! Owen dear! While you two were squabbling—......

White: She already got away!

Mithra & Owen: Huh!?

Bradley: Fuck! Where did that witch go?

Mithra: To think that five of the Northern wizards together managed to let one single witch slip through our fingers. This must be a terrible joke.

Owen: You mean that we are going to be taken as a joke. It’s all because you got in my way.

Bradley: This is a matter of our reputation. Let’s spend some more time searching.

Snow: No, she’s no longer around these parts. All traces of her presence are gone.

Mithra: So what do we do about this? I really don’t want to make such a foolish report to Sir Sage and the guys back at the magic headquarters.

Owen: Me neither.

Bradley: Same here.

Snow & White: ............
Let’s keep it a secret.

Snow: No one will find out as long we keep quiet.

White: If we never met a witch, then we couldn’t have possibly have let her escape.

Bradley: We can just tell the truth after we capture that woman.

Owen: Yep.

Mithra: That’s right.

Collapsed traveler: ......Somehow, these people are...... Coming up with a really lame strategy......

Mithra: Huh? I’m really going to kill you.

Owen: Good idea. We have to get rid of eyewitnesses.

Bradley: Hey, hey. Don’t get in the way of my charity case.

Mithra: By the way, hasn’t the scenery changed? It’s pretty dark.

Owen: You just noticed? Are you slow or what?

Snow: However, that girl’s presence......

White: It seems like we have something unsettling in store for us soon.
