True Love for the Blossoming Forest | Chapter 5
Chapter 4 << | index | >> Chapter 6
Akira: Shylock and Murr are preparing the flower wine while Cain and Owen are patrolling the forest.....
Everyone is helping with the festival preparations.
Arthur: Yes. They are allowing us to accomplish what I could not do alone.
Akira: So there are four other wizards in town besides the two of you here. Is that everyone?
Arthur: No, I’ve asked two more wizards to help. They should be arriving soon.....
(Footsteps)
Chloe: Aaah! Rustica, what are you doing!?
Rustica: Ah, we’ve finally met.... I’ll never let you go.
Chloe: No! Please let her go!
Akira: Chloe and Rustica....!?
Shino: Great, now we don’t have to look for them.
Arthur: What’s going on?
Chloe: Ah, great timing! Can you guys help me stop Rustica?
Akira: What happened?
Chloe: It’s Rustica’s usual quirk. He put a passing lady in his cage because he thought she was his bride!
Rustica: Oh? Hello, everyone. What perfect timing. Let me introduce you to my bride.
Akira: Ah... um, Rustica, is she really your bride?
Shino: It has to be the wrong person. It always is.
Rustica: ....Now that you mention it, I feel like you might be right.
Chloe: Okay, so can you let her out of the cage?
Rustica: Yes, I should.
(Fluttering)
The moment Rustica opens the birdcage, a small bird flutters out and transforms into a young woman. She’s stunningly beautiful.
Beautiful woman: ....Huh? What just happened to me?
She’s wearing a flower comb and a white dress, just like all the ladies walking through the streets.
Akira: A-are you okay?
Beautiful woman: Yes. I was a little surprised, but I’m fine. Thank you. May I ask who you are?
Akira: Ah, we’re.....
Beautiful woman: And where I am?
Chloe & Shino & Arthur: Huh?
Akira: Um, do you mean.....
Rustica: We’re in the Seething Town, Miss.
Beautiful woman: The Seething Town? It’s a very beautiful place.
Rustica: Truly. I’d like to have a cup of tea while enjoying the scenery.
Beautiful woman: That sounds so graceful and lovely.
Chloe: No, wait, pause! I don’t think you should be having such a peaceful conversation right now!?
Rustica: Oh. You’re right, Chloe. I almost forgot about the flower festival custom.
Chloe: Huh?
Rustica: Not only are you beautiful — your voice is also as sweet as a bird’s. If I could rise to your song every morning, I would spend the whole night longing for the sun.
....Come on, Chloe, you too. Bless the lady in the white dress.
Chloe: Eh, ehh? Oh no, I’m bad at this kind of thing......
Um... Y-you’re beautiful. I mean, it’s not just your face; you’re also refined, like..... Like velvet for a special occasion, and I think that’s lovely.
...Sigh. I just can’t pull it off like Rustica.
Rustica: That’s not true. I think your blessing was lovely and sounded just like you, Chloe.
Chloe: Getting back to my point. Did you hear what she said? "Where am I".... Maybe she’s also a traveler....?
Beautiful woman: Travels....? I was traveling?
Arthur: ....Excuse me, dear lady. Could you tell us your name?
Beautiful woman: My name? Of course.
..... Huh. What is my name?
Chloe: Eh, you don’t even know your name? Don’t tell me.....
Akira: C-can you remember anything at all? Like your age, or where you live.....
Beautiful woman: I can’t remember any of it, actually. How strange. I wonder what happened to me?
Akira: (She’s completely lost her memories....!)
Shino: Do you lose your memories when you get trapped in Rustica’s birdcage?
Chloe: N-no. That’s never happened before.
Arthur: Oh, wait. Was she with anybody? Maybe they’re looking for her right now.
Akira: Ah, good point! Rustica, do you remember if anyone was by her side?
Rustica: No, she was alone.
Chloe: Yeah. I don’t remember seeing anyone with her either.
Akira: So we can’t really report her as a lost person.....
Rustica: Then why don’t we have a nice chat with her over some tea?
It might just be a temporary lapse in memory.
Arthur: You’re right. Maybe she’ll remember something as you talk.
Rustica: Do you remember anything at all? Even something trivial.
Beautiful woman: What I remember.... Hmm.....
Shino: Like who you lived with, or where you were planning to go.
Beautiful woman: ....Ah.
The lady exclaims as if she’s noticed something.
Shino: Do you remember something?
After gazing at Shino for a moment, she leans in and brings the tip of her nose close to him.
