Flowers for You, Magic for the Sky | Chapter 10
Chapter 9 << | index | >> Chapter 11
Shino: I sense a strange presence.....
Heathcliff: Yeah.... I don’t recognize this magical presence.
Mitile: ...Should we return to the castle hall?
Riquet: Yes... You know, I heard a scary story the other day.....
Heathcliff: A scary story?
Mitile: D-do you have to tell it now?
Riquet: Oh, we were just talking about terrifying enemies. The prompt was, "What’s an enemy you never want to fight again?" Cain said it was the serpent beast....
And Oz said it was the Minotaur.
Shino: The Minotaur.
Heathcliff: I’ve heard of it before. It’s an intelligent beast that wields a gigantic axe. It’s incredibly stubborn and difficult to kill.
Mitile: If Sir Oz says he never wants to fight it again, then it must be really strong.
Riquet: Apparently no matter how many times you beat it down, it’ll get back up and come rushing at you again. So by the end you’re covered from head to toe in wounds.
And even if a wizard finally managed to defeat it, more often than not they’d expire and turn to stone after using up all their strength.
Shino: Huh. I’d like to face it one day.
Heathcliff: Here we go again....
Shino: If I beat it, it means I’m just as powerful as Oz. I like the sound of that.
Mitile: You’re so dauntless, Mister Shino.... ......!
Look! Above us!
Shino: Murr and Shylock on their brooms.... Did they just fly back?
Heathcliff: Looks like the twins are in their portrait. ....Ah.....!
Riquet: A girl on a broom just crashed into Shylock!
The twins’ portrait is falling....!
✦✧☾✧✦
(Woosh)
Snow & White in the painting: << Noscomnia >>!
Figaro! Hey, Figaro!
You must catch us!
Figaro: ....What a pain.... Can’t you see I’m busy here....?
<< Possideo >> There! Got you!
Rutile: Sir Snow, Sir White! I’m so glad you’re safe!
Snow & White in the painting: Phew, you saved us!
✦✧☾✧✦
Mitile: ....Thank goodness! It looks like Dr. Figaro caught them!
Viridian: Um....
Mitile: ......... You’re.....
Viridian: It’s dangerous here.
Shino: Who are you?
Viridian: I warned you.
<< Volo Habere >>
Shino: << Matztzah Sudipas >>!
Heathcliff: Shino! .....What is this.... The scent of a beast......!?
(Roar)
Riquet: What a terrifying growl.....
✦✧☾✧✦
Cyan: .............
<< Volo Habere >>
(Woosh)
Nero: Cyan....!
Cyan: Ah.....
Nero: ....I forgot to tell you my name last time.
I’m Nero. Cyan. What are you up to?
Cyan: I’m going to bring Mother back to life.....
Nero: Mother?
Cyan: Thank you for the umbrella.
(Screech)
Nero: .......! The Basilisk....!
(Woosh)
Shylock: Nero.....!
Murr: And a tough bird!
Nero: Shylock, Murr!
Shylock: So you were the one who crashed into my broom.
Cyan: ..........
Murr: << Eanul Ramb.... >>
Nero: Hold up! She’s still just a kid!
Shylock: .......! Nero, behind you.....!
(Screech)
Nero: ..........!
Bradley: << Adnopotensum >> !
(Crash) (Screech)
Cyan: Ah......
Nero: ....Brad......
Bradley: You owe me one, chef.
✦✧☾✧✦
Obsius: The Basilisk, Beast of the Sky......
The Leviathan, Beast of the Sea......
And the Beast of the Land......
The Minotaur.
✦✧☾✧✦
(Roar)
Shino: .......!?
Mitile: Mister Shino!
Riquet: Shino!
Shino: The hell is this hulking creature!?
Heathcliff: ...ah..... ....A beast with a weapon.... A magical creature with intellect......
Shino: .....Hmph.
I’ll chop off that head of yours and make it an offering for our party.
✦✧☾✧✦
Obsius: Once I offer sacrifices to the three magical beasts, the castle that wanders through the dimensions will once again awaken.
The castle of living briars. My beloved Talia —
I’ve come to meet you.
✦✧☾✧✦
Maid: .....The castle is shaking......!?
Butler: What’s happening!? ......I’m so sleepy......
Maid: How strange...... My eyes...... won’t stay open.......
.....Uu........
...............
✦✧☾✧✦
Canary: ......Mister Rutile...... Somehow...... I’m really sleepy......
Zz............
Rutile: Miss Canary......? Pull yourself together, Miss Canary!
✦✧☾✧✦
Maid: ......Zz...... Zz......
Butler: ......Zz....... Zz......
Akira: ......What happened!? One after another, everyone’s falling over......
Lennox: ......They’re asleep......
Akira: ......! Lennox, outside the window......!
Lennox: ......!? The castle is covered in briars......!?
✦✧☾✧✦
Cain: What’s with those briars......! Are they trying to cover the entire castle......!?
Owen: Sir Knight.
Cain: What?
Owen: I’ll tell you something good.
Cain: I’m ready to bet that it’s actually something bad.
Owen: The Central troops have all collapsed in a heap.
Cain: ......What did you say......?
Aureolin: I’ll sink all of the castle’s inhabitants into an eternal sleep.
They shall be sacrifices for our Mother.
Cain: ......No way...... Prince Arthur......!
Owen: ............
Scarlet: Ohoho. Serves you right.
I’ll toss you two into the wandering castle as well.
Owen: We got another annoying one. "Serves you right"? If anything, you should worry about yourself.
You’ll be great feed for my dogs.
Scarlet: ............
(Woosh)
Rustica: —Ah! It’s the lady who laughs like "ohoho"!
Chloe: Whoa—!! Granvelle Castle is in trouble! What happened!?
Cain: Chloe, Rustica!
Owen: Tsk...... The Western wizards. They throw me off......
Rustica: Hello, Owen. How do you do?
Chloe: The castle is in really terrible shape!? Are you guys okay!?
Cain: Give me a high five, both of you!
Chloe: Here!
Rustica: He~re.
(High five)
Owen: Things just got really noisy......
✦✧☾✧✦
Arthur: ......There are people collapsed over here too......
Pull yourselves together! Wake up......!
......It’s no use...... They won’t open their eyes......
Oz: .........The castle has been transformed......
Arthur: Transformed......? Ah......
Faust! Faust, over here!
Faust: Arthur, Oz. Is there a path that leads to the courtyard?
I can’t leave from any door or stairway — they’ve all been covered by the magical briars.
They attack the moment I try to step foot beyond the windows.
Arthur: No way...... I’ll go confirm!
(Running footsteps)
Oz: Arthur! Do not lean out of the window!
Arthur: Cain! Sir Sage......! ......hh......
Faust: << Satillquinart Mullcreed >>!
Arthur: ......Faust! Sorry, you saved me!
Faust: Did you not! Literally! Just hear me explain! That it’s dangerous to step foot beyond the window!?
Arthur: Sorry! Let’s look for the Sage. As long as we have the Sage, Sir Oz will be able to use his magic......
(Footsteps)
Lennox: Sir Faust! Prince Arthur!
Faust: Lennox......
Akira: I’m so glad to see you all......!
Arthur: Are you all right, Sir Sage!
Oz: ............
At that moment, Oz’s eyes, which had been fixed on me, widen in surprise.
Oz: Sage......!
(Shattering glass)
The next instant, the briars covering the windows come hurtling in my direction.
Akira: ............!?
Lennox: ............
Lennox pulls me close against him, delivering a roundhouse kick to drive back the briars.
But they immediately start chasing after us.
Faust: Leno! I’ll cover for you! Take the Sage and escape!
Lennox: Yes! Sir Sage, this way!
Faust: << Satillquinart Mullcreed. >>
Arthur: << Pernoctant Nixzo >>!
The twin flashes of light from Arthur and Faust’s magic ward off the briars attempting to seize hold of me.
I break into a sprint, Lennox’s arm around my shoulders.
Arthur: Sir Sage!
With everything I have, I reach towards Arthur’s proffered hand.
But the castle chooses that moment to shake more violently than ever.
Akira: ............
My feet slip.
Lennox holds onto my arm as I stumble and fall.
The briars twine around both my legs.
Lennox: Sir Sage......!
(Crash)
Akira: ......Aaaahh......!
And the briars drag me into the darkness of their intertwined masses.
Arthur: ......Release the Sage......!
Arthur swings his sword. But he can’t hack away all of the briars, and the darkness continues to swallow me.
Faust: Sage......!
Oz: << Vox Nox >>!
Oz chants his spell and transforms into a black bird.
He flies towards me, staggering under his drowsiness.
Oz as a black bird: .............
But the briars reach out and slam him against the wall.
Akira: ......Everyone......!
Aaaaahhhhh......!
I fall, dragged into the thorn-filled abyss.
