Event Story: The Crimson ribbon of Désir | CH2

SHINO — That’s right. Stay here, the three of you.

Me, Bradley and Shylock looked at each other.

Maybe it’s because we felt something about the mood surrounding Shino, but the three of us nodded as a matter of fact.

HEATHCLIFF — …Alright. Come before it gets cold.

Excuse me, Shino is in your care.

Heathcliff bowed and went inside the Wizards’ Manor with everyone else.

Shino stared at Heathcliff as he did that.

BRADLEY — So? Eastern small one.

SHYLOCK — What is it that you want to talk to us about?

SHINO — …Shylock.

People who go to your bar often bring you gifts, right?

SHYLOCK — …Yes, I guess so?

Most often, I will give a polite refusal however.

SHINO — Bradley, you are the boss of a gang of bandits. You must’ve gotten a lot of tributes from your underlings.

BRADLEY — …I guess yeah. ‘Were of all sizes, I did get a lot.

SHINO — Sage. You come from another world.

You probably know things that I don’t, and you might’ve gifted those to someone, or received them as gifts.

AKIRA — Eerr…. I think so? Probably?

SHINO — That’s why I want to ask you guys.

……What do you think I can give that would make Heath happy?

SHYLOCK・BRADLEY — ………….

It sounded a bit different from his usually unhesitating, strong tone.I could feel quivering somewhere, but it was an earnest question.

SHYLOCK — …Shino.

If you would like to consult us about a simple gift to brighten his day, I’d be happy to assist you.

However… It also looks to me like your heart is yearning for something else.

SHINO — ………….

Shino directs his gaze to the dining hall.There wasn’t a sight of anyone there, but it was clear who was on the other side of his chasing gaze.

SHINO — …I am his servant. I want to provide something worthy to my lord.

I want to become a man who can do that.

If it’s for Heath to never have to feel ashamed in front of anyone, for him to keep his head high brazenly, I would do anything.

But he doesn’t want that. …That’s the feeling I got.

I reflexively blinked at the unexpected murmuring.

And that was because up until now, Shino had never shown a sign of hesitation when it came to this topic.

AKIRA — …Did anything of concern happen that made you think so?

SHINO — Not really, it’s not something limited to today.

By coming to the Wizards’ Manor and living close to him again….

I came to know the faces he makes…that I don’t know of. …The face he was making at Chloe’s gloves is also a perfect example.

He probably wouldn’t show such a bright smile even if I brought back castles or glory.

Even though a long time ago, he’d be happy about the flowers and squirrels, about anything I’d get him.

Shino picked a single blossom from the courtyard.The snow piled up on the petals flutters off them melancholically.The face he made as he contemplated the flower was just like the one of someone so lost. It looked as though he was desperately searching for a treasure he used to have.

SHINO — If so, then—what should I give to him?

I wondered if, maybe, this question that spilled from Shino’s lips had already existed within his heart for a very long time.

Like a lake born into the sea, disappearing before it can even reach the surface.

Maybe it is just that I couldn’t notice before.

BRADLEY — Hey. Eastern small one. I stayed silent to hear what you had to say and, aren’t you mellowing out.

You the only one trying to meet the timid rich boy halfway?

SHINO — Don’t speak ill of Heath. There is no one who thinks more carefully about others’ hearts than him.

BRADLEY — He might be considering people’s feelings, but he is only half a lord.

It’s normal for subordinates to wanna produce achievements worthy of their leader.

You trying to give him a treasure that couldn’t be more important to you….

And him saying he doesn’t wan’it, as if it were something worthless, would make you feel empty and piss you off.

SHINO — …….

Standing next to a silent Shino, Shylock nodded gently.

SHYLOCK — A present that makes the recipient happy is very profound, after all.

I think it’s a difficult question, of which the answer is worth spending a lifetime searching for.

This is because the impression you give to your recipient will differ depending not only on “what” you gift, but also “how” you gift it.

SHINO — What do you mean?

SHYLOCK — For example, an elegant and beautiful jewel is very alluring even to me….

However, if I were given a mountain of it, it would end up feeling vulgar instead.

I would love it better if I were only given a single grain of it while being told ‘I will give this to you, it’s special’.

AKIRA  — I see. It’s true that the impression will change depending on the amount you give.

BRADLEY — At the same time, number and amount is also a show of power.

If my underlings bring back a mountain of treasures, it’s the leader’s job to praise ‘em, innit?

SHYLOCK — Fufu, and just like this… What you gift, how you gift it… The most pleasant right answer differs from one person to another.

Shino. It is an honor to me that you’ve chosen to consult us but….

Wouldn’t it still be the best to talk it out with Heathcliff himself, in the end?

SHINO — About that, didn’t you guys also hear. When I asked if there wasn’t anything he wanted earlier, it ended with a “nothing”.

There is nothing more to talk about. What do you want me to do?

SHYLOCK ・??? — Then—.

RUSTICA — I have an idea.

Suddenly, a voice overlapped with Shylock’s. It was Rustica.

I turned around in surprise and saw Rustica and Mitile coming from the direction of the dining hall.

MITILE — I’m sorry. We overheard the conversation.

SHINO — Didn’t you two go to the dining hall?

RUSTICA — Hmhm. But we came back. On Heathcliff’s behalf.

His heart is currently restlessly stepping and dancing.

He seems to be anxiously awaiting, wondering when everyone will come to the dining hall.

MITILE — But… We had a hunch that Shino’s conversation would be about Mr. Heathcliff….

We left Heathcliff in Chloe and Sir Snow’s care for now and came here by ourselves.

SHINO — ……I made you step on eggshells, huh.

MITILE — It’s nothing.

AKIRA — Um, Rustica. What did you mean earlier by “I have an idea”?

SHINO — And Shylock was also about to say something.

SHYLOCK — I am sure that what both Rustica and I meant to say were the same thing.

Rustica. Is it perhaps about that exhibition you invited me to, the other day?

RUSTICA — Indeed, it is exactly about that. As expected of Shylock. You are on the same wavelength as I.

Now, I will explain it in order to the rest of you. First, please take a look at this.

«Amorest Viesse»

As Rustica waves his hands like an orchestra’s conductor would, a single handwritten card appears.

Everyone peeked at it as it floated up.

BRADLEY・MITILE・SHINO — ”Exhibition of desire and wishes”…?

RUSTICA — What do you think? Doesn’t the ring of it tickle your heart?

MITILE — Umm… If I would be more tempted to call it a ring that has an adult feeling that makes my heart race?

BRADLEY — That sounds like textbook Western.

AKIRA — If this is an exhibition, does this mean it’s an event where something is being displayed?

RUSTICA — Yes. It’s displaying “presents” that have been gathered from around the world.

SHINO・MITILE・AKIRA — ?

With the gently floating card in front of him, Rustica speaks in a singing voice.

RUSTICA — “For an unexpected moment in your daily life. For an important anniversary. People are creatures that send gifts.”

“That is why the world is filled with countless gifts.”

“I, the organizer, Klaus, am carrying out an exhibition of those gifts.”

“Who gifted them to whom, and why did they send those? What kind of desires and wishes lie within those? Take them between your hands, let your thoughts run wild and enjoy.”

AKIRA — The desires and wishes behind the choice of presents…?

MITILE — Hmmm. I feel like I kind of know, but also kind of don’t know what this exhibition is about.

RUSTICA — You know, Shino. I think, if you are uncertain about what to gift Heathcliff….

It would be a good idea to invite Heathcliff to go to this exhibition together too.

SHINO — Me and Heath?

Isn’t there no meaning in looking at what other people are gifting each other?

SHYLOCK — You don’t know about that yet.

When Shino tilted his head, the flower he was holding swayed lightly, mimicking him.

Caressing those petals from the tips of his fingers, Shylock speaks.

Event Story: The Crimson ribbon of Désir | CH1

In the windless, clear air, the gifts from the sky are slowly transforming the scenery around us. That day, we caught a rare sight of snow falling at the Wizards’ Manor.

SHINO — Take this!

CHLOE — Wagh! It’s so cold~!!

MITILE — Shino, your snowballs are way too fast!

RUSTICA — As expected of Shino. This is a very intense battle, befitting the king of snowfight.

SNOW — An attack so fierce, all the while protecting Heathcliff and the Sage…. Shino, aren’t you going strong!

SHINO — Fufun. Did you think I’d hold back on anything that has “fight” in its name even if this is a game?

—Snow started falling onto the Manor a little while ago. Many of us gathered together at the extraordinary sight, and eventually started a snowfight. There was only one rule: ‘Magic is forbidden’.

SHINO — I am here. I won’t let even a single chip of snowball touch Heath or the Sage.

AKIRA — You’re so reliable, Shino…!

HEATHCLIFF — Leave the snowball-making to us!

Hiding behind Shino, Heathcliff and I made snowballs diligently, while Saku-chan watched over us.

AKIRA — (I’m so glad we have the gloves Chloe made for us. My fingers don’t feel cold at all thanks to them.)

MITILE — Ah, Shino dodged again! He is so fast I don’t even think I can hit him. And even if I aim for the two others in the back, I’ll just end up getting hit instead….

SNOW — Since the two of them are making snowballs, they never run out of ammunition either.

CHLOE — We’re four people compared to the other team, though! We have a number advantage! If Sir Snow, Mitile, me and Rustica all throw our snowballs at once, even they would—.

RUSTICA — Look, Chloe. Don’t you think I made this snowball very round and beautiful? Let’s also add her to my collection.

SNOW — My! Cat-shaped and flower-shaped snowballs are beautifully lined up…!?

CHLOE — Rustica~!! Don’t just decorate, throw them too! Throw them too! Ahh but it’d be a shame to throw such beautiful snowballs…. Let’s make some more!

RUSTICA — Fufu. Thank you, Chloe. Let’s do that.

SHINO — Alright. If it keeps going like this, it’ll be our win.

AKIRA — The strategy Heath thought of of using Shino as our main attacker with the two of us backing him up, is a huge success!

HEATHCLIFF — Not at all, this isn’t something so elaborate I’d call it a strategy but…. It’s working because Shino is fighting hard. Thank you, Shino.

SHINO — Of course. We’ll definitely win this, Team Heathcliff!

HEATHCLIFF・AKIRA — Yeah—!

SHINO — Take that!

HEATHCLIFF — Roll roll.

AKIRA — Squeeze squeeze.

SNOW — Mumumu…. The enemy team play is quite the obstacle. Nevertheless, I shall show my skills as a native of the country of snow. First of all, it is best to wait for an opportunity to strike. Everyone, let’s go for an all-out attack!

MITILE — Here I go!

CHLOE — Hop! Hop!

RUSTICA — Yah!

SHINO — Hmph. With snowballs that weak, even if they are coming all at once—

SNOW — Now!

SHINO — !

AKIRA・HEATHCLIFF — Shino,  watch out!

One opening was born in Shino’s defenses while he was dodging hits from Chloe and the others. Snow took advantage of that chance and his giant fastball cut through the air. I hold my breath, not knowing if it would or wouldn’t hit. And then—

BRADLEY — …Achoo!

SHINO・HEATHCLIFF・AKIRA — Huh?

CHLOE・SNOW・MITILE・RUSTICA — Ah.

BRADLEY — —BWUH!

That hit Bradley in the face the moment he appeared. Everyone gathered and watched as the snowball fell into pieces.

SNOW — Hohoho. Nothing less to be expected from Bradley’s luck. To think you’d be hit with my snowball the moment you appeared.

BRADLEY — Geezer…. What the fuck, I’ll fucking kill you!

SNOW — Kya—, sca~ry!

SHYLOCK — There, there. Please don’t get so angry.

AKIRA — Shylock!

Shylock entered the scene alongside the sound of snow being crushed under each of his steps. In his hands, was a pot with rising steam coming out of it.

SHYLOCK — I saw you playing with snow from the window and thought I’d bring you some treats. Would you like to take part as well, Bradley? You look lovely and shiny covered in all that snow but…. Please make it a priority to keep your body warm.

When Shylock opened the lid of the pot to show the content of it, Bradley ran a hand through his snow-peppered bangs and brought his face closer.

BRADLEY — Hmm. Hot wine made by the Pipe-drinker, huh. Not bad.

SNOW — Shylock, you’re so very thoughtful!

SHYLOCK — Fufu, thank you very much. There, everyone, help yourselves. For those who aren’t good with alcohol, I also made a sweeter, alcohol-free drink.

AKIRA — Waah! Thank you so much!

I placed Saku-chan on my shoulder and wrapped the mug cup with both hands. At the sight of those hands, Shylock’s face was tinted with a smile.

SHYLOCK — Oh? These gloves you’re all wearing are…. Aren’t these the ones Chloe made for us.

MITILE — Yes! These are super warm, I’m perfectly fine even when touching snow you know!

SNOW — It is a wonder for my fingers to stay so warm without even having to use magic. Thank you for your marvelous gift, Chloe.

CHLOE — You’re welcome! It’s thanks to Lennox sharing a lot of sheep wool with me. I was thinking about the designs and got more and more excited as I went…. And I ended up making 22 pairs before I even realized!

RUSTICA — And every one of these fine works also has its own design on the back of the hand. I can feel the feelings you’ve put into every stitch.

AKIRA — Mine was the Sage’s Book and Saku-chan! Everyone got their own magic tool, right?

HEATHCLIFF — Yes. Even my pocket watch’s dials were recreated.

SHINO — It really looks like it could start moving right as we speak. That’s a considerable amount of effort.

HEATHCLIFF — Right? It’s no easy task to reproduce something in such detail with wool yarn. This here for example, it’s almost unnoticeable, but he changed the color to bring out the feeling of texture, and even the watch’s hand is—.

SHYLOCK・RUSTICA — ………….

SNOW・MITILE・AKIRA — ………….

BRADLEY・SHINO — ………….

HEATHCLIFF — Ah…. I’m sorry. It looks like, I kind of went off a bit too much…?

CHLOE — N—No not at all! Those were actual details I put a lot of thoughts into, so your words make me really happy, Heath!

RUSTICA — Fufu. Chloe’s face is the color of evening glow.

SHYLOCK — Their happiness is spreading and even making me feel warm inside.

SHINO — ………. Heath. I’m also going to gift you something. Tell me what you want.

HEATHCLIFF — Huh?

SHINO — Don’t hold back. There has to be something.

BRADLEY — Haha. Can’t stay silent when his master’s showing such an attitude, yeah?

SNOW — Is this what you call the pride of your loyal retainer.

HEATHCLIFF — …Err…. …Thank you, Shino. But I’m fine. I don’t need anything. Or rather, I can’t think of anything from the top of my head.

SHINO — ……. I am your servant, you know. I will arrange anything. Just tell me something.

HEATHCLIFF — Anything, you say…. Uhm…. I’m happy about the sentiment, but Shino would really go and get just anything so.

SHINO — What’s wrong with that?

HEATHCLIFF — It’s not wrong but…. How do I put this….

SHINO・HEATHCLIFF — ………….

AKIRA — (.....The atmosphere’s changed from earlier, somehow…)

(Silence)

RUSTICA — …Oh? Everyone, there is a message from the wintry wind to us. It seems like it is time for dinner.

SNOW — Mumu. Indeed, a tasty smell is wafting in the direction of the dining hall. This smell is… corn soup, I see.

MITILE — Yaay! That’s my favorite! It’s the perfect dish for a cold day!

CHLOE — I get it~. Drinking something warm on a day like this will even make your heart feel all warm.

AKIRA — Yes, I agree! Let’s continue the snow fight another day and get inside.

RUSTICA — I wonder what will be the main dish coming with the corn soup, today. Meat would be nice, but so would be fish.

BRADLEY — What are you blabbering about, ‘course nothing’s better than meat. Hey, Pipe drinker. ‘There any of that hot wine from earlier left?

SHYLOCK — Let me see. There should be just enough left to have a meal together.

CHLOE — Speaking of wine makes me want cheese too. Heath, what do you wanna eat?

HEATHCLIFF — Huh? Let me think, I’m….

Everyone was naturally walking towards the dining hall. In the midst of that, Heathcliff turned around, curious, when Shino alone didn’t show a sign of moving from his spot.

HEATHCLIFF — Shino? Are you not going?

SHINO — I’m going. But—.

Shino cut himself off and stayed silent.If it was about time, only a few seconds had gone by. His mouth stayed shut like he was pondering about something, until he lifted his face.

SHINO — Sage, Shylock, and Bradley. I have something to ask the three of you.

SHYLOCK・BRADLEY — Huh?

AKIRA — To us?

To the diverging, yet irreplaceable Pareja | SHORTSTORY 2

CAIN — Whew. I only meant to buy some stuff but ended up getting recommended so many things I bought way too much.

Muffins and cannelés... Riquet would like this flower shaped sweet.

Everyone would probably find this rock shaped chocolate particularly fun—

OWEN — Sir Knight.

CAIN — Whoah!? Owen... Don't suddenly appear in front of me like this.

OWEN — Where and when I appear is for me to decide. Anyways, you are holding onto some nice stuff.

CAIN — Ahh, you mean these sweets?

OWEN — Hmhm. Muffins, cannelés, chocolates, right? And also flower shaped sweets.

CAIN — Huh...? How do you know that...?

OWEN — Because you were very chatty with yourself, just now.

You are feeling troubled because you bought too much, right? I can take it all for you if you want.

CAIN — I can't give you all of it. There are also gifts for Arthur in there.

OWEN — It makes me want to take it when you say that. I'll be holding onto all of this stuff for you.

CAIN — Don't. My daily necessities are also in there.

But well... It's true that there's more than enough for all the kids...

You can have these. Cheese sablés.

OWEN — ...? Uhuh...

CAIN — You can also have these bean snacks, and this bitter chocolate.

I also got some new coffee beans. I think it'd taste good with the snacks. Want some?

OWEN — Tell me, why are you specifically giving me those that aren't sweet?

CAIN — Because the kids like what's sweet. I know you also like sweets but...please leave these for them.

OWEN — No way.

CAIN — Aren't you an adult, have some restraint.

OWEN — So what? You're the one spoiling the kids too much.

«Cur Memini»

CAIN — Ahh, my bags...!

OWEN — You said your daily necessities were also in here, hm? Let's see...

What are these, rocks? What are you even gonna use them for?

CAIN — Ah... Those aren't rocks. They look very much like rocks but they're actually chocolates.

OWEN — What an obvious lie. Are you trying to deceive me as a revenge because I took your stuff?

CAIN — I'm not lying. Just try one out and you'll see.

OWEN — I'm not Mithra so I'm not falling for that.

I'm only interested in sweets so I'll just throw the rest out of the window.

CAIN — Hey, Owen...!

OWEN — Bye.

CAIN — He disappeared...

Haah... Well. I'll just pick the things he threw out near his room later.

I wonder if he's gonna throw away the chocolates that look like rocks even though they're so interesting.

TL/n: i don't know if anyone's done and posted this before but it's one of the things i tled last year so i'll just put this here if anyone wants to read. sorry i'm posting 2 before 1, i didn't translate ch1 (yet? if people want me to, i will), but i thought i'd at least post the second one. the title tl on wiki fandom: Divergent Yet Irreplaceable Pareja
