CHAPTER 1
???: Hello, Talia. I’ve completed my next puppet show.
It’s a tale where an outcast uses magic to transform into someone who is loved by all the people in the world. I’m certain you’ll be quite fond of it.
So please.... Put an end to this.
Look at the tips of your toes. The delicate feet that once danced with me.....
Now look like mere soil.
Please, do not curse yourself any further, Talia......
✦✧☾✧✦
Girl with bluish-gray hair: ...........
City officer: You... You there, what are you doing in the rain without an umbrella? Aren’t you only around fifteen years old?
Girl with bluish-gray hair: ...........
City officer: We received reports about a suspicious girl wearing lace gloves, you see. ....Are you a wizard?
Girl with bluish-gray hair: ........ Magic.....
Nero: Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting.
City officer: And you are.....
Nero: I’m her older brother. Sorry, she’s a shy one. Did she cause you any trouble?
City officer: No, we simply received reports about a girl who was standing in the rain for several hours on end without an umbrella......
Nero: I had trouble finding work, and a place to stay overnight, you see..... But I’ve managed to work something out now, so we’ll be fine.
City officer: Well, I’m glad to hear it. ...I’ll be going now. Make sure your sister doesn’t catch a cold.
Nero: Thank you.
Girl with bluish-gray hair: ..........
Nero: Phew, what a chore. Here, take this umbrella.
Girl with bluish-gray hair: .....Umbrella.....
CHAPTER 2
Nero: This city is a nice, quiet, peaceful place — but on the flipside, it’s unfriendly to nonconformists. As well as the dubious and the bizarre.
If you stand around all day without using an umbrella, you’re going to gather attention. You’re a witch, aren’t you?
Girl with bluish-gray hair: ....I.....
Nero: Don’t worry, I’m a wizard too. Have you never lived around humans before? Be careful, the people of this city are pretty sensitive.
Girl with bluish-gray hair: .......Do you like the color blue?
Nero: ....Why do you ask?
Girl with bluish-gray hair: ....Because it’s a blue umbrella......
Nero: Haha.... Well, I guess I do.
Girl with bluish-gray hair: ............
Nero: What’s your name?
Girl with bluish-gray hair: I think it was..... ......Cyan.......
Nero: Cyan. This is the umbrella of luck. It’ll protect you from rain and disaster.
Try to melt into society. If you can’t do that, you need to live alone. You might feel lonely at times, but......
Once you get used to it, it won’t hurt in the least. The water here is clean, so you can drink delicious coffee every morning.
Girl with bluish-gray hair: Okay..... Thank you......
Nero: See you.
✦✧☾✧✦
Nero: ......Umbrella of luck...... What an old-school excuse. I can’t believe I still remember it.
Faust: This way, Nero.
Nero: Mr. Faust. Shino, Heath. Sorry for making you wait.
Heathcliff: Huh. What happened to your umbrella, Nero?
Nero: I left it behind.
Shino: Even though it’s raining? Why?
Nero: I like getting drenched.
Shino: You’re weird.
Faust: Don’t be silly. You’ll catch a cold. Join me under my umbrella.
Nero: Ooh. What’s this, Mr. Faust? Are we gonna share an umbrella?
CHAPTER 3
Faust: What’s with that teasing voice? I don’t think I’ve done anything to deserve that.
Shino: Well, if I saw two friends of mine under one umbrella, I’d definitely whistle at them.
Faust: Why?
Heathcliff: But why?
Shino: Are you two serious? Well, I guess Heath has never been under anyone else’s umbrella, and there’s no need for him to be, either.
Nero: Yeah. He’s the heir to a powerful noble family, after all. He has his own umbrella, his own carriage, and his own plates; there’s no need for him to share.
Heathcliff: I’ve shared plates with other people before. Um, like the platters for.....
Faust: What do platters have to do with Nero’s teasing? And all that aside, I’m not a noble.
Nero: Standing so close to one another that you feel like your shoulders are about to touch as you share a single umbrella. It’s as if you’re all alone in this world, together.
Shino: And you whisper in each others’ ears so that the rain won’t drown you out. Sharing an umbrella really sets the mood.
Faust: Does it?
Nero: You poor curseworker. Mr. Faust’s heart is completely parched.
Heathcliff: You’re talking like a know-it-all, but have you ever shared an umbrella with someone, Shino?
Shino: I have.
Heathcliff: Y-you have? With who?
Shino: Heh. It’s a secret.
Faust: So Nero, are you joining my umbrella or not? Are you planning on getting drenched?
Nero: I’ll get drenched. It’s embarrassing, you see.
Faust: Oh, I see. You were teasing me because you were embarrassed. Now I understand.
Nero: You don’t have to say it like that......
Shino: Nero’s always like that. He played dumb when the royal chef of Central Country asked him to be their advisor.
Nero: I wasn’t playing dumb. I tried to back out from humility.
It’s really not my place to advise the chefs who are preparing the royal banquet at Granvelle Castle.
Heathcliff: Prince Arthur said that he wanted to prepare celebratory meals from each country because representatives from every country will gather during the ceremony.
CHAPTER 4
Heathcliff: You’re the perfect person for the job, Nero. You’re always taking requests from everyone at the magic headquarters.
Shino: The celebratory meals all looked really good. What did the Sage say was the special dish in his world?
Nero: Mister Sage told me about....
> Option This thing called sekihan.
Nero: This thing called sekihan. Apparently you mix red beans into red "feels like rice."
Heathcliff: I wonder if it’s different from ojiya? Maybe it’s like tomato risotto?
Shino: What if you put some red rouge berries into the mix? I bet it’s close enough. It’s all red.
> Option This thing called red snapper.
Nero: This thing called red snapper. Apparently it’s a fish you eat on special occasions.
Heathcliff: I see. Maybe we should ask Lennox to fish up something similar?
Faust: I recall the sage mentioning it could be fished up with shrimp as bait. I’ll pass on the advice to Lennox.
Heathcliff: I’m sure Sir Sage would be delighted if he saw dishes from his world at the banquet.
Faust: I agree. Nero, you ultimately agreed to take on the job, right? Why is that?
Nero: Because of Canary. She was delighted because they asked her to prepare the tableware for the ceremony.
The advisor role mainly involves offering my opinion, so I thought, I guess it’s worth it if I can help her out a little.
Heathcliff: You and Miss Canary get along, after all. I’m looking forward to the ceremony. Though I am a little nervous.....
Shino: I’ll get to see Heath all dressed up for the first time in a while. Those clothes that Chloe made for us are so nice.
Faust: So we’re going to be attending another ceremony in the Central Castle.... I’m determined to hold up at the magic headquarters for real this time.
Heathcliff: Please, Mr. Faust, don’t say tha......
City resident: Aaaaaaah.....!
Faust & Heathcliff: .........!?
Shino: Stand back, Heath. I’ll go check it out.
Nero: Hold it, Shino! .....He’s so fast.....!
Shino: ......! Something’s flying between the buildings. Is that a magic beast?
CHAPTER 5
(Woosh)
Shino: << Matztzāh Sudipas >>!
City resident: ......Aaah.....! A boy with a scythe is flying through the air.....!
City resident: I-it’s a wizard.....!
Shino: I’m Shino, the Sage’s wizard! You’d better scatter like baby spiders — unless you want your blood to wind up as dew on my blade!
City resident: Eeek.....!
✦✧☾✧✦
Heathcliff: Shino! You’re making yourself sound like the villain!
.....! This brick wall is completely melted......
Faust: Don’t touch it, Heath! It’s acidic poison!
Heathcliff: .....Poison.... Shino.....!
✦✧☾✧✦
Faust: The walls are melted all over, and covered in horrendous webs..... Nero, Shino, watch out!
Shino: ...... I can’t see too clearly because of the rain. Stop running around and show yourself!
Nero: Don’t chase them too far, Shino! .....! What is that......
Shino: A giant bird....!? No, is it a snake.....!? A giant snake attached to a bird.......
Nero: Run! The poison coming from that creature’s mouth will melt steel!
Shino: Dammit, it’s gonna pour acid rain! Heath! Faust!
✦✧☾✧✦
City resident: Aaaaaah.....!
Faust: << Satillquinart Mullcreed >>
Heathcliff: << Repsevaivulp Sonus >>
City resident: .......!? A barrier of light is protecting us from the poison rain.....?
Faust: Now’s your chance, run! Heath, please guide the residents to safety.
Heathcliff: Got it. This way, everyone!
✦✧☾✧✦
Nero: ....This is bad. This isn’t the kind of monster that just shows up in the middle of the city in Eastern Country like this.
Shino: Hey Nero, can I ask a question?
Nero: What?
CHAPTER 6
Shino: If its head is a bird, and its body is a snake, what kind of meal will it make?
Nero: I’m not too sure. I’m not well-versed in freak cooking, you know......
(Screech)
Shino: Haha. It doesn’t like being called a freak.
Nero: I’ll wring it, trim it, and soak it in wine. I bet Mithra or Shylock will buy it off of me.
Stop moving! << Adnodus Omnis >>!
Shino: You hit the mark....!
Nero: Damn, it didn’t do a thing!
Shino: ......!? Nero, look over there! A girl carrying an umbrella is riding on the bird’s back!
Nero: ........! ....You’re.....
Cyan: ................
✦✧☾✧✦
Heathcliff: There’s a girl on the back of the bird....! Was she kidnapped!?
Faust: .....No........
She’s stroking that monster’s back and trying to soothe it. ....Who in the world is that girl.....
✦✧☾✧✦
Cyan: ....Let’s go. Father awaits us.
(Screech)
Nero: ......! Wait....!
Shino: You’re not getting away.....!
<< Matztzāh Sudipas >> !
.........!
(Woosh)
✦✧☾✧✦
Heathcliff: Shino! Watch out.......!
(Thundering sounds)
Nero: Are you okay!?
Shino: Yeah. So it’s got a beak that can break through stone, huh. If I were a second too late, that thing would’ve eaten me alive.
What the hell is that monster.... Faust! Do you know anything!?
✦✧☾✧✦
Faust: ....If I remember correctly, that is an ancient monster......
The Basilisk.
Heathcliff: The Basilisk.... The creature that destroyed this city......
✦✧☾✧✦
Nero: .....Cyan......
