Flowers for You, Magic for the Sky | Chapter 9
Chapter 8 << | index | >> Chapter 10
Injured blonde witch: ......He killed my sister in front of my eyes, and stole her mana stone...... He said it was an offering for the beasts......
......Please, I beg of you...... Avenge my sister.......
......hh......
Arthur: ............! Hang in there! Open your eyes!
<< Pernocta—...... >>
Drummond: Prince Arthur. It’s too late......
(Crack)
Arthur: ......hh......
Drummond: ......She turned into stone......
Arthur: ......Obsius......
✦✧☾✧✦
(Bird cawing)
Snow: I remember now!
White: Me too!
Shylock: What have you recalled? The wizard skilled at controlling magical beasts?
Snow: Exactly so.
White: That means spending the day investigating wasn’t a complete waste of time.
Murr: So what did you recall? Was it good? Was it bad?
Snow: It might be bad news for you.
White: It’s Obsius. The puppeteer of darkness.
Snow: He’s a magician who enchants and controls beasts with his toy dolls.
Shylock: Obsius... I’ve heard his name in the entertainment district of the Town of Nectar.
Murr: Was he popular?
Shylock: I recall his reputation being quite similar to yours....
Murr: So everyone hates him!
Snow: We once saved Obsius when he was on the brink of death.
White: He seemed to be in mourning because he and his lover had broken up. So we offered him a prophecy.
Shylock: A prophecy...?
Snow & White: If you rest in deep slumber for 333 years at the spot we prescribe, you will attain a shot at victory.
You will be granted a magical tool or a medium that will make your wishes come true.
Our prophecies are never wrong.
Murr: And where was that place?
Snow & White: The Ravages of Oz.
Shylock: That may have been where he obtained Oz’s blood to use as a medium.....
Murr: So he can control beasts, and now he has the ultimate medium in his hands! That’s so exciting!
Plus, night is approaching! The twins are stuck in their painting, and Oz can’t use his magic!
Snow & White: ...........
We need to hurry back to the castle!
Shylock: Let us do that.
✦✧☾✧✦
Soldier: ............! Who goes there!?
Violet: ............
Scarlet: Fufu, can we help you with anything?
Soldier: I......I apologize, noble ladies. Have you lost your way? This is not the venue for tonight’s dinner.
If you turn back towards the hallway you came from—......
Viridian: << Volo Habere >>
Soldier: .....Aaaargh......! hhh.......!
Violet: Shush....... Quiet now.
Cyan: ......Where’s Aureolin?
✦✧☾✧✦
(Door opening) (Footsteps)
Soldier: ......Guh...... Uugh......
You knocked out an entire platoon of soldiers in an instant...... W-Who on earth are you people......!?
Violet: << Volo Habere >>
Soldier: Aauugh......!
Scarlet: Ohoho. How dare you imprison my sister.
Cyan: ......Are you okay?
Aureolin: I’m fine.
Viridian: Elder sister. Let’s hurry.
(Footsteps)
Violet: Someone is coming. Do we kill them?
Aureolin: There’ll be no end to the killing. We have to prepare the ritual.
Scarlet: Fufu. I’ll cast a spell so all of us but Aureolin will be invisible.
I’ll conceal the soldiers, and relock the open door.
Viridian: They’re here.
Cyan: Shh......
(Door opening)
Cain: Hey, do you remember me?
Oz: ............
Cain: At least reply to me. ......Oz, how does she seem to be doing?
Oz: Which one?
Cain: What do you mean which one? Aureolin, of course. The blonde-haired girl we captured the other day.
Oz: She is alive.
Cain: I know that. I’m asking whether she looks pale, or if she’s glaring......
Oz: She’s signalling her comrades with her eyes.
Cain: Comrades?
Oz: They used magic to conceal their presence, but there are four of them. There are also twenty soldiers lying prostrate on the ground.
Cain: Wh—......
Oz: What else can you not perceive?
Violet: Die!
(Flash of light)
Aureolin: Wait......!
Oz: << Vox N—...... >>
......Zz......
Cain: Are you kidding!? Shoot, the sun already went down!
Violet: << Volo Habere >>
Scarlet: << Volo Habere >>
Viridian: << Volo Habere >>
Cain: Hang on hang on hang on......!
Arthur: << Pernoctant Nixzo >>!
Cain: Arthur!
Arthur: Cain, I’m here!
(High five)
Cain: Thank goodness!
Arthur: You guys were trying to leave me out.
Cain: I’ll hear your complaints later.
Arthur: I’m warning you now. I’m going to sulk if you do this again.
Cain: You’re already sulking. You’re pouting.
Arthur: ......I’ve always looked like this. Drummond, please wake Sir Oz up!
Drummond: I-I shall! O......Oz, wake up...... Wa—.......
Oz: ......I am awake.
Oz: << Vox N—...... >>
Mithra: << Arthim >>
Arthur: ......A door in space!? ......Mithra......!
Mithra: I finally found you. Witch from the Forest of Dreams.
Violet: I’m Violet. And you are?
Mithra: Mithra. You don’t have to remember that.
Because I’m going to kill you.
Violet: << Volo Habere >>
(Crash, followed by rumbling)
✦✧☾✧✦
Akira: ............!? What was that sound......!?
Lennox: Please stay put, Sir Sage. ....!
Sir Faust!
Faust: Ah. It’s you.
Lennox: Where are you headed?
Faust: To the courtyard.
Lennox: It’ll be dangerous to go alone. I will join you. While escorting Sir Sage....
Faust: No need.
Lennox: ........
Faust: You should do your job.
✦✧☾✧✦
Arthur: .......Such extreme wind pressure! All the windows shattered...... Sir Oz, are you all right!?
Oz: Do not worry about me. Mithra......
Arthur: He went out the window with the purple-eyed witch......!
✦✧☾✧✦
Violet: You’re pretty good. You tore my dress.
Mithra: You’re not as good as I thought.
Violet: ......What did you say?
Mithra: Do show me at least enough magic to keep me awake.
<< Arthim >>
Violet: << Volo Habere >>
✦✧☾✧✦
Oz: Mithra......
Cain: Oz, Arthur! Return to the reception hall! Leave things here to me......!
Aureolin: Like I’ll let you!
Cain: << Gladius Procella >>!
Aureolin: << Volo Habere >>!
Sisters! I’ll take this one outside the castle! We’ll follow Violet’s lead and begin our preparations!
(Crash)
Cain: ............!
Arthur: Cain......!
Scarlet: All right. Let us begin.
Viridian: All right.
Cyan: ......Okay.
✦✧☾✧✦
Cain: ............ What a heavy kick......! You almost snapped my neck......
Aureolin: << Volo Habere >>!
Cain: I won’t fall for that twice......!
<< Gladius Procella >>!
(Outside castle)
Cain: ......Guh......
Aureolin: I won’t let you get in our way.
Cain: Aureolin! What are you planning!?
Aureolin: I told you. Revenge, and resurrection.
<< Volo Habere >>
Cain: ......!? What’s that magic circle......!?
Owen: Looks like you’re in trouble, Sir Knight.
Cain: ............
Owen: Want me to lend you a hand?
Cain: Owen......!
✦✧☾✧✦
Rutile: .......Flashing light as bright as the sun streaking across the night sky...... What in the world is happening......
Canary: Look! Mister Rutile, over there......! On the rooftop......!
Rutile: ............!? Mister Mithra......!?
✦✧☾✧✦
Violet: ......Ugh......
Mithra: I’ll finish you off right here. ......Hmm?
Is that Rutile on that balcony......?
Violet: ............hh. << Volo Habere >>!
Mithra: Shoot......!
(Crash on the balcony)
Mithra: ......Guh......!
Castle person: Eeeeeeek......!
Rutile: ............! Are you all right, Miss Canary!
Canary: Y-yes, thank y—...... Ah, Mister Rutile, that wound on your arm......!
Rutile: This is nothing. ......hh, Mister Mithra......
Castle person: Someone fell from the sky onto the balcony! Like they were thrown down violently......!
Rutile: Mister Mithra......!
Mithra: ......Rutile......
Violet: Die, Mithra.
Rutile: ............! << Ortonik Setomaouge >>!
......Aagh......!
Canary: Mister Rutile......!
Mithra: You...... Are you an idiot!? Why would a weak wizard like you try to protect me!
Rutile: Hah...... I’m so glad you’re all right...... I knew you’d be fine, Mister Mithra......
I’ll take Miss Canary and fly away! Miss Canary, hold on tight to me!
Mithra: Rutile! Escape by yourself!
Canary: He’s right! Don’t worry about me......
Rutile: I will protect you!
Canary: ............
Figaro: Rutile, Canary! Close your eyes!
Canary: Huh!?
Rutile: Got it! You too, Miss Canary, this way......!
Figaro: << Possideo >>
Violet: ......Argh......!
Rutile: Dr. Figaro!?
Figaro: You can open your eyes now.
Looks like Uncle Mithra stopped the scary witch’s attack.
Rutile: Did he really? Mister Mithra......
Mithra: Hmm......? Did I do anything like that......?
Figaro: You did, you did. You were so cool.
Violet: ......Crap...... I don’t have time to waste dealing with you all!
<< Volo Habere >>
Rutile: .............! ......An earthquake......!?
Figaro: ......The Leviathan’s presence? Don’t tell me it’s going to show up here......!?
Mithra: Sigh......
......What a pain.
