Prelude to the Festival and Miracles | Chapter 11
Chapter 10 << | index | >> Chapter 12
(Splash) (Screech)
Akira: Shino! Shino....!
I frantically chase after Shino, who looks like he’s about to get dragged away by the freaky giant fish that has its teeth sunk into his body.
Shino: ....Run, Sage.....
Akira: No...! Shino, please use magic....!
Shino: << Matztzā— >> ....ugh.....
(Splash) (Screech)
Spraying water and rocks about its path, the giant fish attempts to dive beneath the church floor at immense speed.
I keep running with all my might. I’m almost there. I can almost reach Shino.
Akira: (I'm sure I can help Shino. Up till now, it's always worked. Every time I touched a wizard, I was able to grant him mysterious power.)
(I have to be able to save Shino! I refuse to let it be otherwise...!)
My fingertips reach for Shino in desperation.
(Thump)
But the moment before they touch, I’m tackled by a great force from behind and fall to the ground.
Akira: .........hh. ......Heath....
Heathcliff has pinned me to the ground and licks his lips with cold eyes.
His hair is standing up on end, slowly turning from gold to black.
Shino: ....Sage...! Heath....
Shino's weakened voice grows distant.
This is the end, I think. But in that moment....
The roar of a ferocious dog echoes through the hall.
(Roar)
Akira: .....!
(Splash)
A giant, powerful, three-headed dog rushes through the dim light and bites at the neck of the giant fish.
Akira: (What's that dog...!?)
The giant fish flips and flounders in pain. Finally, it opens its giant mouth.
And Shino falls out, covered in blood all over.
Shino: .....Uugh....!
Akira: Shino....!
I want to rush to Shino’s side, but I can’t move because Heathcliff has pinned me down.
In that moment, I hear the tap-tap of the black shoes that show up right by my head.
And then a suitcase drops.
It's a familiar suitcase.
It’s Owen’s magic item.
Akira: ....Owen....!
Owen looks delighted as he stares down at me.
Owen: Hey, Sir Sage. Want me to save you?
I nod at the speed of light. Owen raises his eyebrows unhappily.
Owen: It's no fun when you beg so easily.
Out of nowhere, Heath growls and leaps towards Owen.
Owen disappears; he appears again and grabs Heath's wrist. Looking at his sharp nails, he says.
Owen: I see the young Eastern nobleman has become part-beast again.
But it's too early for you to play with me. See you later.
<< Cure Memini >>
(Thump)
The moment Heathcliff hears the spell, he loses all strength in his body, and collapses to the ground.
Akira: Heath...!
On the other side of Heathcliff, the three-headed dog is busy feasting away at the giant fish’s face.
One of its heads turns around at Owen and begins growling. Eventually, the two other heads threateningly bare their teeth.
Akira: Wh... why is it intimidating you, Owen?
Owen: It hates me. Because I keep it locked up in my suitcase all the time. Let's put it back before it eats me too.
(Roar)
The dog raises a terrifying roar and rushes towards Owen. Owen opens his suitcase once more and casts a spell.
Owen: << Cuare Morito >>
And the three-headed dog is sucked into the suitcase like an illusion.

Villager: Aaaah....
Nero: Hurry, run! To solid ground!
(Screech)
<< Adnodus Omnis >> !
Villager: Uaaah...! Over here, too....!
Nero: ....Damn it! There's another one...
Bradley: << Adnopotensum >> !
(Screech)
Hmph. Piece of cake!
Nero: Brad.....
Bradley: Yeah.
Nero: .... Take care of those guys! I'll guide the villagers!
Bradley: Yeah, leave it to me!

Mithra: Sigh... How many more heads are there? They just keep popping up. What a pain....
....Hm?
(Footsteps)
Village Head: Stop! Don't anger the < Great Catastrophe >! At this rate, the world will end....
Villager: Sir, the < Great Catastrophe > is right behind you, its mouth open wide!
(Screech)
Village Head: .....!
Villager: It’s aiming for you! Please don’t move...!
Village Head: .....
Mithra: How will you have it? Shall I kill it? Or shall I leave it alone? In that case, I think it’ll eat you.
Village Head: .......
H... help me....
Mithra: << Arthim >>
(Screech)
Village Head: Pant, pant.... the... < Great Catastrophe >....
Mithra: Wonder if it's edible. Looks like it'll taste muddy.
....? The remaining remora are headed towards the church....?
