Story Title: An Opportunity to Learn

Akira
: Looks like this shop has a bunch of long, thin weapons like lances, swords and whatnot…

 

Heathcliff: I think it may stock medium range weapons?

 

Akira: I see… How about this one?

 

Akira: It looks like an axe attached to a super long handle.

 

Heathcliff: Ah, that one is called a halberd.

 

Heathcliff: It used to be a standard weapon for soldiers, but nowadays it’s basically out of use.

 

Akira: I didn’t know that… Very impressive, Heath! Did you study a lot about weaponry back home?

 

Heathcliff: No, I’m still learning from my father and reading books. There’s plenty of things I don’t know much about.

 

Heathcliff: As for the halberd, it wasn’t because of my studies, it left an impression on me for a different reason.

 

Akira: A different reason?

 

Heathcliff: Yes, we once received an invitation to visit an aristocrat’s home and I saw a halberd there.

 

Heathcliff: The decorations were all so beautiful that I couldn’t forget them. So, I committed everything I learned from that occasion to memory.

 

Heathcliff: Pardon me, that didn’t really have anything to do with the history lesson!

 

Akira: Please don’t apologize. It sounds like a lovely memory, it had ‘you’ written all over it!

Central

Arthur: Happy Birthday Master Sage! Being chosen as a Sage’s wizard, becoming your friend, being here with you right now… Thank you for all of it, I’m glad I met you. I hope that I can convey even a small part of that to you today!

 

Oz: Sage. I know that you put us before yourself, and I know that you work tirelessly. However, you’re still a child. Today is special, so why not tell us your wishes.

 

Cain: Happy Birthday Master Sage! Today we’re throwing a party to celebrate you. We’ve been working real hard, so I hope you enjoy it! Ah, but before anything, may I take your hand? I’ll be your personal escort!

 

Riquet: Happy Birthday. Today I would like to list my favorite things about you, one by one. The words of the Sage always give me strength, so I’d like to return the favor. Well then, let’s get started! 

 

North

Snow: Dear little Sage, Happy B-day! Are you ready to enjoy today to the fullest? The whole manor is brimming with excitement to celebrate you. Laugh, sing, and dance, it’s the beginning to an unforgettable day!

 

White: Dear little Sage, Happy B-day! You’ve worked exceptionally hard as our leader, and today we’re going to shower you with blessings. Indulge to your heart’s content and abandon any worries! Hohoho, today is your day after all!

 

Mithra: You seem to be in high spirits, although are birthdays supposed to be so exciting? Perhaps I’ve lived too long to properly understand… Well, I guess as long as you’re having fun, why not? Happy Birthday.

 

Bradley: Yo, todays yer’ Birthday, right? For starters, be honest about ‘ya want. Forget any modesty and toss it in the trash. It can be a thing, a person, whatever, the Great Bradley’ll snatch it. 

 

Owen: Why do you think people celebrate their birthdays? To convince themselves that being born or existing in this place has significance, I wonder? Happy Birthday, Master Sage…

 

West

Shylock: Happy Birthday, Master Sage. Is there anything you’d like to request of me on this extraordinarily special day? Anything at all, I’ll grant it for you. Allow me to hear your self indulgent desires. 

 

Murr: Today is a very special day! Why’s that? Because today is the day you were born of course! And on this very special day, we’ve gotta have some fun. For example…everyone has to announce what we find most fascinating about you, or something like that. So without delay, I’ll start! I think that……there’s so many things, I’m stumped!

 

Chloe: Happy Birthday, Master Sage! If you’d like, we should have a pajama party tonight. We can chat a bunch until we get sleepy, I’m sure it’ll be a fun time from beginning to end! Ehehe, how does that sound?

 

Rustica: Why do you think the tea in this teacup sparkles so golden, or the little birds chirping sound like bells? I think it’s because I want you to experience a splendid birthday. Happy Birthday to you, Master Sage.

 

East

Faust: Everyone seems to be in a festive spirit. Today is very important I suppose. For you…and for all of us Sage’s wizards too. Happy Birthday. 

 

Nero: Lately, I feel like my moods been a bit more positive and that perhaps it isn’t so bad to have a place where you fit in… I figure it’s probably due to your influence. Happy Birthday, Master Sage.

 

Heathcliff: Master Sage, I wish you a Happy Birthday! I was thinking of all sorts of words to offer my blessings, but when you appeared in front of me, I got nervous… Um, could I have just a bit more of your time to think?

 

Shino: Happy Birthday, Sage. Today I’m gonna give you double—nah, five times the amount of blessings you’ve given me. Heheh, consider your evening plans booked.  

 

South

Figaro: Happy Birthday, Master Sage. You always take good care of us, don’t you? Today I hope I can express my feelings of gratitude, my kind friend… Come on now, everyone’s waiting to party!

 

Lennox: Happy Birthday, Master Sage. From the bottom of my heart, I’m glad to be able to celebrate this day with you. 

 

Rutile: Master Sage, Happy Birthday! We’ve planned plenty of fun activities. I hope that you have an exceptionally wonderful time today.

 

Mitile: Master Sage! I have a present for you. Nii-sama and I went to the marketplace to search for something we thought you might like. Ah, excuse me. I was so excited to give you your present that I forgot to congratulate you… Master Sage, Happy Birthday!

Cain: Rustica, have you ever heard of Santa Claus?

 

Rustica: It makes me think of the beautiful chime of a bell. Or perhaps the name of a lovely flower, or glittering jewel.

 

Cain: Ahaha, unfortunately, those are wrong.

 

Cain: It’s said to be the name of an old man who goes all over the world and delivers presents to good children once every year. 

 

Rustica: That’s wonderful~ Is this Santa Claus a wizard? 

 

Cain: Erm, probably not. 

 

Cain: During the year, children will try real hard to be on their best behavior though. That way, they can get excited about receiving gifts.

 

Cain: I heard about it from Master Sage. Pretty heroic, huh? Like the Knights of the Round Table!*

 

Rustica: Mmhmm. Just from hearing that story, you can tell his heart is overflowing with kindness and affection for children. 

 

Rustica: What an absolutely splendid person. They surely must be my bride.

 

Cain: Huh?

 

Rustica: Where is this person right now? In the market perhaps, picking out a gift? I simply have to go meet them at once…

 

Cain: Wait, wait! I didn’t explain myself clearly, Santa Claus is just a folktale from the Sage’s world.

 

Cain: So in that case, I think that meeting him here may be difficult.

 

Rustica: I see… I thought I had finally found my bride, only to learn that she’s in some far off mystical land…

 

Cain: …Hey, don’t look so sad. A smile suits you much better. 

 

Rustica: Thank you, Cain. Your words are very kindhearted.

 

Cain: Don’t mention it. Plus, who knows, maybe someday you’ll find a way to travel back and forth from the Sage’s world whenever you’d like.

 

Cain: A long distance relationship with a bride from another world is something you don’t even see in stories! But, I think you could pull it off.

 

Rustica: Oh Cain, you truly are a compassionate person.

 

Rustica: Could it be that you are my bride after all?

 

Cain: Oh, is that what you gathered from this?!

 

Rustica: I’m sorry that I didn’t notice you even though we were so close. But it’s no matter, for we will never be apart again.

 

Cain: No, no, no! I am not your bri-

 

Rustica: Amores Viesse

 

*TL note: Cain says “ロマン” (roman) here which refers to the genre of Arthurian romance stories, ie. Knights of the Round Table.

Lennox: Lord Faust. Are you there?

 

Lennox: … 

 

Lennox: Merry Christmas. It’s Santa Claus, Lord Faust. I’m here to deliver a present. 

 

Faust: What in the world… Are you feeling alright? 

 

Lennox: I’m fine…

 

Faust: Don’t lie to me, that was clearly odd.

 

Lennox: I apologize for lying, it’s not Santa Claus. 

 

Faust: No, that part I knew… Has someone been feeding you strange ideas?

 

Lennox: It isn’t strange, I learned those words from the Sage.

 

Faust: From the Sage…?

 

Lennox: Yes. In the Sage’s world it’s said that on the night of Christmas, an old man named Santa Claus goes and hands out presents to children. 

 

Lennox: And you say, “Merry Christmas” and give a blessing, like I did for you just now…

 

Faust: Ehh? So you mean to tell me, that in your mind, I’m like a child? Like Mitile and Riquet?

 

Faust: I suppose he was acting as Santa Claus or something, and that’s why he called out to me.

 

Lennox: That’s…um…

 

Faust: I’m kidding. What is it that you wanted?

 

Lennox: There’s going to be a Christmas party in the dining hall. If you’re comfortable with it, you should attend.

 

Lennox: The Sage insisted you should come by, Lord Faust. 

 

Faust: Sorry, but I’ll have to decline. The noise and excitement of a party isn’t really my cup of tea after all.

 

Faust: …is what I would normally say. But I suppose that Christmas is an important day to the kids. So just for today, I’ll make an exception. 

 

Lennox: Haha, I’m glad. I’ll be waiting for you, the Eastern wizards too. 

 

Faust: Lennox…

 

Lennox: Lord Faust?

 

Faust: …I had better wish the Sage a Merry Christmas too, don’t you think?

 Chloe: Good work, Cain! Thanks for letting me observe your training today! 

 

Chloe: I learned a lot and you were super cool! The way you looked holding your sword was awesome!

 

Cain: Haha, you flatter me. I’m glad I was able to be of service to you, Chloe. 

 

Cain: Ah, I didn’t notice it was getting late. The Sage and Eastern wizards went out on a mission today, hope they come back soon. 

 

Chloe: Same. I’m wishing for everyone’s safe return…

???: Oooi.

 

Cain: Hmm? I hear a voice in the distance… Is that them?

 

Chloe: No, it’s not… That voice is…

 

Cain: What the…! Is that a bathtub floating down the river?!

 

Rustica: Ahh, hello~ Are you two enjoying some afternoon tea in the forest?

 

Chloe: Rustica! What in the world are you doing here?!

 

Rustica: As you can see, it’s a bathtub ride. The lovely babbling of the river was like music to my ears, it’s whispers invited me on an adventure. 

 

Rustica: It’s nice to spend an evening like this every once in a while. I’d like to tell the Sage and Eastern wizards about it when they return from their mission. 

 

Cain: I’d say this is more like river rafting…

 

Chloe: Rustica, you’re being swept away!

 

Rustica: Don’t worry, Chloe. The stars in the night sky are returning my greetings. I’ll be back in time~

 

Chloe & Cain: …

 

Cain: Chloe, let’s go help him! At this rate, Rustica will be swept away for good!

 

Chloe: Yeah! We’re on our way Rustica! 

 

Rustica: Oh? Those two are coming over here? However, they appear to be rather panicked… 

 

Rustica: I see, you wanted to ride in the bathtub as well. Fufu, you should have told me sooner~
