「Chaldea Treasure Hunting!」 Rain Witch Tonelico Edition (Translation)

Tonelico: An adventure, is it? Please leave it to me!

....................................

Tonelico: Ooh! Master, look! It's full of buildings I've never seen before! So this is how a city in the near future looks like, huh? Searching for the Holy Grail together with the Master is very exciting, isn't it?

First, we should find clues about the Holy Grail's locationー

???: Welcome, emissaries from Chaldea. I am the one who rules this Singularity, the Sealed Mage. If you defeat the three guardian beasts that protect this Neo-Britain, then I shall allow the Holy Grail to be manifested to you. You budding mage, if you wish to acquire the Holy Grail, then make sure to triumph over this game! Fufu... Hahahahaha!

Tonelico: A game where we need to take down magical beasts, huh? Yes, this is something just right up my alley! Now I'm all fired up! 

Ah! I'm sensing a large magical response!  Is that the first magical beast? How ominous! However please leave it to me, I'll show you the spirit of fae magecraft! Master, your orders!

Guda: Let's do this splendidly!

Tonelico: Hah! Too slow! You're full of openings! Fairy Ring Mushroom! 

We did it! The second magical response... Seems to be coming from underground... Let's keep going!

....................................

Tonelico: It's quite the creepy place, isn't it... This is...! It's a stronger response than the one earlier! It's coming!

The guard dog of hell, Cerberus! It'll be a tough fight with wave magecraft... can you spare a bit of your mana with me?

Guda: Of course! I'll back you up! 

Tonelico: I have to be bold and strong here! Water Mirror, max expansion! Memory of Londinium!

It's our victory! Now then, the next one should be... Ah! A response from above! I'll activate my transfer magecraft! Please come this way! 

Hmm, there's nothing here... Oh! It's above! 

W-what is this size?! Master, let's collaborate on this! The collaboration of a faerie and a human! Let's shoot it down with both of our magecraft! 

Guda: Alright! With these command seals I command thee! 

Guda: Let's stack it on!

Guda: Mana release! (Increase Tonelico's Buster performance)

Tonelico: An unprecedented amount of mana... With this, I can come up with a new type of magecraft!

Two dreams that shape the future, like the  faerie gliding across the lake! Anomalous Viviane! 

Phew! We did it! Master, hold on to me! 

....................................

Tonelico: That's... the Holy Grail! 

???: Fuhahaha! To think that you've defeated my guardians!

Tonelico: What an overwhelmingly evil mana! No questions asked strike!!!

Merlin: No way, I didn't even have time to read out the elaborate explanation I put into this! Ugh! It seems that my attempt to offer a bit of thrill, surprise, and romance has backfired, but well, it looks like you both still enjoyed it, so I’ll take my leave! Farewell!"

Tonelico: Here I thought that everything's suspiciously shady, so it was the Mage of Flowers' work, huh? In any case, this means that everything's all settled, right? A magical battle in an unknown world! It was a lot of fun!

Ahem! What do you think of your adventure with me? 

The adventure that a lone girl longed for and loved in a silent library...  A scene that was unimaginable back then, but now, here we are, creating a special magic just between the two of us... 

This is quite the big event for this Tonelico, and I mean that in a good way. It was a great honor to spend such a wonderful time together with you today!

I hope this will become a page in the story you weave!

「Chaldea Treasure Hunting!」 Oberon Edition (Translation)

Oberon: Time to embark on an unforgettable adventure with this fairy king Oberon!

.....................

Guda: It's a city of steam!

Oberon: Hey, you're a youngster from the 21st century, aren't you? Aren't you supposed to be used to this kind of city? Well then again, I can understand your excitement. 

Even though it's the same consumer civilization as yours, I guess you find that there is a certain allure in this scenery. It's a city that retains its medieval charm while being dominated by a primarily industrial design, I guess being able to imagine such a contradictory world is one of humanity's strengths.

Guda: You're a reliable companion!

Oberon: Well, of course! If it's a request from you, this Fairy King Oberon will fly over to you with all his might! Though well, it did take me a quite a while to change into these clothes, but I hope you forgive me for that. After all, we're going to an adventure! So I have to be stylishly dressed, right? 

Now then, according to this steam observation clock, it seems that the Holy Grail of blessings is somewhere underground. If we find it, we'll gain a lot of QP, right? Time to go all out to repay my debts!

.....................

Oberon: Honestly, stairs of all things? In a city of clockwork? Not even a single transport mechanism?! I guess we'll just have to accept this fact and take the long way down. It'd be much easier if only I could fly, but as you know, my wings are just ornamental. Maybe I should go to Da Vinci and ask her to make a mechanical glider for me. No, maybe a jet pack is saferー...

Guda: Oberon...! Wait!

Oberon: Hmm? Did you say anything? Whoa there! Sorry, sorry, I got distracted. Wait, is our faces kind of close right now? Are you okay? Pfft... Haha... Hahahahaha! Just what kind of expression are you making! Too bad it's dark in here, if I had a camera, I would've taken a snapshot of it! 

Guda: Are you telling me my face looks weird?

Oberon: Whoa, sorry about that. I don't mean anything bad by that. I'm telling the truth. It's just that, it's an expression I've never seen you make before. It’s not the nervousness in battle, it's not the fear of death, it's something child-likeー... no, it's nothing. Saying it out loud just cheapens it. 

Anyway, forget that! Right now, there's only the two of us, alone in this underground passage. It's not like there's a terrifying enemy waiting for us ahead, so let's take it easy and enjoy this uncharted journey together!

The path ahead looks like it's going to get even narrower, so hold my hand, and let's keep moving forward. It's so you won't stray far from me, come on now, give me your hand.

.....................

Oberon: Looks like we've descended quite a bit. Oh! This seems to be the lowest level. All that's left is a straight path from here. Everything’s going smoothly! Hm? 

Huh? What is it? Is it coming from behind us? 

What in the world? This is unexpected! Let's run, Master! 

Just how persistent are these guys! And to top it off, I think there's even more of them now! 

Ah, I see light shining up ahead! Let's keep going!

Huh?! There's no road?! We're gonna fall, Master! Give me your hand!

Guda: Oberon!!!

- The Master and Oberon clung to each other as they fell. -

Oberon: Is this what they call "drowning in schemes and strategies," huh? I didn’t expect the path would collapse. Oh well, I’m used to falling. It’s just that this time, I'm a bit more entangled into something.

.....................

Oberon: Oww... Ah, Master, are you okay? 

It's hard to believe there's so many flowers blooming down here, right? As long as there is life, there will always be flowers blooming somewhere. Water, sunlight, flowers, insects, and greenery, they're all part of the cycle after all.

That's right. I'm the one who left the Holy Grail there. Because I heard that you were going to go on an adventure.

It's all true that I was asked to do this. However, it wasn't as calm as I expected it to be for the Master. Things didn't go as expected, but today is a day of celebration for you, right? What's important isー

Nemo Marine: Captain! I've found Oberon! 

Nemo Marines: We've found him!

Nemo Professor: It's all a farce! Oberon-shi has been persistently rejecting all communication attempts.

Captain Nemo: We've finally connected to you. Oberon, is the Master alright? The communications suddenly cut off when you went underground though. 

Oberon: Oh my, I didn't know about that~! The Master is fine and has successfully retrieved the Holy Grail. It's no problem over here. 

Nemo Engine: Then hurry up and return already! Your scolding will come after that!

Nemo Nurse: Fufu, if you have any injuries, I'll take care of them, so please feel free to come to me.

Captain: Everyone, shut up for a moment! Oberon, Master, it's great that you two are safe. I'd like for you both to take your time and explore the city. And if possible, I'd like for the both of you to take a lot of photos of the scenery for future reference. There's a lot of vehicles in a clockwork city, right? 

Oberon: Of course! Please look forward to the souvenirs we'll get you, Captain! We have to keep Engine happy after all. 

Nemo Engine: I-it's not like I'm interested in motorcycles or anything! W-well, I'll use it as reference for the Penguin Porter's external parts...

Oberon: Okay, then let's focus on that, huh? Well then, see you later in Chaldea!

Nemo Bakery: I’ll bake a warm baguette while waiting for you, okay?

Oberon: Alright, let's go back to the surface and explore the town until the sun sets. Even though it's a town that's messy, oily, and full of shady shops, I'm sure it'll become a wonderful memory. 

After all, exploring an unknown world is an adventure in its own right.

「Chaldea Treasure Hunting!」Tiamat Edition (Translation)

Tiamat: Alright, let's go! I haven't forgotten anything!

...........................

Tiamat: Hey~! Here, over here! So you've finally arrived. Mother rayshifted a little earlier and waited for you here. 

Guda: Sorry for making you wait!

Tiamat: Fufufu! A child who apologizes honestly is a good child! Good kid, good kid. 

Now then, let's get going. Since we have this wonderful weather, it'll be a shame if we don't enjoy it to the fullest. 

Guda: Speaking of, that's quite the wonderful ribbons you have.

Tiamat: Fufu! Isn't it? I prepared these cute ribbons and this cute overalls for today's picnic. 

Guda: Huh? Did you just say "picnic"?

Tiamat: That's right, a picnic, spending time leisurely in a vast meadow under the blue sky. That's the reason why Mother chose this place. Which would you prefer, a brisk, refreshing  place where you can have fun playing or somewhere that is calm and relaxing?

Guda: A brisk, refreshing place where I can have fun playing!

Tiamat: We're here, Master. Playing in the river is one of the best experiences of summer. Mother prefers the sea though, but we don't have many choices. Even if you fall down, Mother is right here to save you immediately, so don't worry. 

Master? What's wrong?

Guda: But we need to look for the Holy Grail...

Tiamat: Oh, my child is so earnest! Mother is happy, but this makes me sad. But, I knew you would think that way, so I packed not only lunch boxes but also the Holy Grail inside this basket... Huh? Huh?! I, of all people, lost something precious to my child! What a blunder! With this, I am a failure as a mother... 

Guda: L-let's go look for it! That's what we came here for anyway!

Tiamat: Aaah! I thought we could save searching for the Holy Grail at a later date, so I secretly hid it and prepared a picnic, because I wanted to give my child a fun picnic and adventure! 

Huh? Who is it, calling at this time?

King Hassan: Do you hear me? Do you hear my voice, O' Mother of Genesis?

Tiamat: Huh?! T-the Old Man?! A-are... Are you here to condemn Mother for taking the precious Holy Grail?

King Hassan: Not even close, I'm just here to give thanks.

Tiamat: T-that won't do! This Mother will not leave her child behind! 

King Hassan: It will do you best to listen to what I have to say. I am not drawing my sword. First, I am giving thanks for the lunch box, filled with carefully prepared dishes. It truly was a wonderful lunch box.

Tiamat: Eh? Huh? W-well, t-there's no need for thanks... I just made a lot of food for this picnic, so I just wanted to share... S-so, what is it that you wanted to tell me?

King Hassan: In the basket that you gave me, a Holy Grail is wrapped up along with the lunch boxes. 

Tiamat: Ah!

King Hassan: As expected, huh? You've mixed up the baskets. Well then, I shall return this Holy Grail to the rightful place it belongs. You should enjoy this rare time to take a break to the fullest. However, you should also fix that careless side of yours. 

Guda: It's great the Holy Grail was found, huh? 

Tiamat: But, finding the Holy Grail means that the picnic with only the two of us will now end... 

Guda: Why don't we eat, then play for a while before going back?

Tiamat: Huh? T-that's right, we should do that! Mother is so happy that she has raised a kind child! Let's enjoy this day together! Hooray for picnics! 

The culture of human children is a good thing, isn't it?

「Chaldea Treasure Hunting!」 Asclepius Edition (Translation)

Asclepius: So you've come huh, Master? As expected of my patron. 

.............................

Asclepius: Alright, it seems we've arrived at our destination.

As the supervisor for this bounty, or should I say, treasure hunt, I expect that you have the courage to accompany me.

With this heat, and this environment, I wonder what kind of wonderful diseases, and the Holy Grail is waiting for me. I'm very much looking forward to it. 

Jason: Hey~ can you hear me? Oh! So you're there, Master! I'll be your support for today! So you should thank and venerate me! 

Asclepius: Sigh... Oh right, that's the case. Since everyone in Chaldea's support team is busy working on something else, he volunteered himself to do this. 

Jason: That's right! Just tell me if you feel like riding a huge ship right now! 

Asclepius: It's all land out here though, did you volunteer just to say that?

Jason: No, I didn't! Absolutely not! Well, whatever. First things first, head to the big city about 5 kilometers from here. A response from the Holy Grail is coming from that direction. Alright! You guys! It's time to depart!

.............................

Asclepius: It's quite the lively town, huh. This seems like it could result in all sorts of ailments. Come on, Master, hurry and find a patient!

Guda: Asclepius, this is bad!

Asclepius: T-this is...!!! You're telling me that you woke up this morning and found that your shark-rough dry skin has worsened and you've become a real shark?! Hey, tell me when did the symptoms start? Did you have any fever? Answer me quickly and accurately!

I see. That is quite interesting indeed. Here, take this Anti-Shark Head Remedy. If you rest for a while, then there shouldn't be any problems. Well then, my next patient is waiting so I'll excuse myself. Take care of yourself.

Jason! Where's the next patient's response coming from? 

Jason: Hey, hurry and look for the Holy Grail already! The reaction from the Holy Grail is coming from inside the temple in this town. Now that I've told you where it is, I’m going to take a break! And with that, I'll leave the rest to you, Asclepius! 

Asclepius: Sigh... Good grief, what a capricious captain. Anyway, let's head for the temple. It's this way. 

Guda: Huh? An oasis...?

Asclepius: What are you doing? Hurry up and sit right here. Hm. Well, it’s no surprise you’re shocked. You're probably wondering why there’s no Holy Grail and no enemies, right? This is all arranged by the Chaldea staff. They wanted to show their appreciation for your hard work, so I accepted the task of bringing you here. Taking care of the Master’s health is also part of my job after all.

Master, you’ve been working hard for humanity and its peaceful future. But if you ever find yourself struggling because you’ve pushed yourself too hard, and find it truly difficult, let me know. I promise I’ll use my medical skills to save you without fail. Do you understand?

Guda: Thank you, Asclepius!

Asclepius: What, I just said what any reputable doctor will say. In any case, you seem healthy at the moment. But since this is a good opportunity, let’s do a check-up. 

Have you noticed any changes in your health recently? Your temperature... is normal. Hmm, it looks like there’s no issue. Well then, I’d like you to be a test subject for this newly formulated medicine I've prepared. Now, give me your arm. Even if it hurts and you want to cry out, just bear with it until we know how this medicine works.

Heh. Looks like the hypnotic effect is starting to work. Master, make sure to rest well. Take care of yourself, okay?

「Chaldea Treasure Hunting!」Kama Edition (Translation)

Kama: Are you sure you're ready for the consequences of choosing me?　

Please wake up, lord knight! 

Guda: What's with this dating sim-like scenario?!

Kama: What's wrong, lord knight? Don't tell me, you forgot what our goal is? We're going to take back the Sammohana Castle that was taken over by the Demon King! 

W-what is it?!

Guda: This overwhelming dating sim vibes...! Fine then, let’s roll with it!

Guda: Princess Knight, banzai! Kama-sama has a perfect, 100 point score!

Kama: W-what are you saying, are you half asleep?! J-just follow me and let's head for the castle!

...............

Kama: W-we're surrounded! Get out of our way! Hyaa! Nooo! Let go of me! 

Draco: Haaahahaha! I've finally caught you! ’Tis I, the only one worthy of this throne! You noble knight over there! If you want to take the princess back, come and face me in the castle!

Kama: Lord kniiiiiiiiight!!!

Guda: G-give back the princeeeeess!!!

...............

Draco: I've been waiting. I am... the Consort of the Demon King, Draco! 

Kama: Lord knight! You shouldn't come any further! 

Draco: You small human, if you wish for me to return this castle, don’t try to convince me— prove to the princess that you are the one that's truly worthy of her!

Kama: Just what are you trying to make the esteemed knight do?! 

Draco: Seek your desire, no, your love! Now, present your merits, and use your love to convince her!

Kama: H-huuuh?! That's different from what we've talked about!

Guda: The time for me to give it all out has come, huh...

Guda: I want to protect it! I want to corrupt it! That smile! 

Kama: What the hell is thiiiis!!!

Guda: NNNNNNN!!! That outfit... Excites me! (Copying Douman)

Guda: Princess Kama is the best! The lone flower that ignites my chivalry!

Kama: M-Master... s-stop this alreadyー... 

Guda: I don't want anyone but Kama!

Kama: M-Master you... You big idiooot!!!

...............

Draco: What an overwhelming percentage of desire… I’m thoroughly satisfied. Fine, it's your win. We’ve even managed to capture footage of the “Chaldea Summer Special, Too Gullible! Princess Knight” that the New Director and the others wanted.

Kama: Wasn't it supposed to end when the Master gets in here?! I wasn't aware that you'll go this far!!! 

Draco: I can see that you're not entirely displeased though? Oh that's right, God of Love, here's the promised item. Very well, farewell then.

Kama: Huh... Huuuuuh?! You tricked me, didn't you! This Holy Grail is just made of stone! My plan to scare the Master with a ghost and rendezvous with them has been ruined... Ahem!

M-Master? You really just said whatever you wanted, huh? I-it made me happy though... 

There's no one else here so, w-what would you like to do?

Guda: Then, do you want to experience the daily life of a princess and a knight here? 

Kama: F-fine, it can't be helped then... For you to become my slave, what an idiot you are. 

May the summer time with only the two of us, last forever.

「Chaldea Treasure Hunting!」Takasugi Shinsaku Edition

Takasugi: Oh! You finally came, I've been waiting. 

Now then, as my secretary, you'll be responsible for the top-secret mission for Chaldea Heavy Industries.

What, going to look for the Holy Grail is just something we'll do on the side, or rather, let's just save that for later. I heard that the Holy Grail is located somewhere in a place called "Sky Island." Well, if it's called "Sky Island," then it must be in the sky, right? More like, seriously, it should be in the sky since it's called that way.

So, this is what we need right now! I took advantage of Chaldea's resources without permission to develop this! A special combat unit, Sora Habaki! This time, I also wanted to test the performance of this highly anticipated weapon.

Now, get behind me and get in quickly. Let's go!

Hahahahaha! This is bad! The power output is too high, I can't control it! Today may be the last day for you and me.

Guda: Can't you do anything about it?! 

Takasugi: Well, if you say so, then why don't I try something. However... I could use some help....

Hey, help me steer for a while, it's this leverー... Not that! The one to the right of that! No, the one right in between my legs, between my legsー... Huh?! Hey, you! Just where are you touching?! Just where?! Ah! Alright, that's it! 

Pull it as hard as you can! Make sure you hold on tight, I'll fly it right up!

Hm? Hey, hey, what in the world is that? Don't tell me that's thunder! I didn't hear about the weather getting this rough! 

This mana response... Things are literally looking bad right now... No, more like, it's becoming more interesting! Let's charge right in just like this! That Sky Island is surely just before us! I may not have any proof, but my intuition tells me so!

Hey, wake up. It's not time for you to sleep right now. Oh, so you've woken up, huh? And your body... looks all good. Hahaha! That's great, isn't it? Looks like we've escaped death. It seems that you've got great luck, just like me. 

In any case, look, it seems that we've successfully landed in Sky Island. It's quite a nice place, isn't it, is what I want to say. But it looks like quite the violent welcoming party has come to meet us. Well, since we're here, let's give them a flashy greeting, shall we? I'll, no, let's both show them our grit!

Guda: Let's do it, Takasugi-san!

Takasugi: Let's do it super flashily! Break through them, Ultra-Advanced Reformation,  Kiheitai!

Phew, looks like we've taken care of all of them. Hm? 

Tezcatlipoca: Even though it seemed like you're holding back, that's still quite the firepower. You pass, Takasugi Shinsaku. With this, the joint agreement between Chaldea Heavy Industries and my company, Tezcatli Corporation is now finalized. 

Takasugi: I was wondering who it was, but it's you, huh? The person from the company who offered a business proposal contract with me. Aah, so it's like that, huh? You stole the Holy Grail, then created this Singularity to test me?

Tezcatlipoca: That's right. As the CEO, measuring the capability of a future business partner is the bare minimum of my job. As soon as you return to Chaldea, we'll proceed to signing the contract and establishing the business partnership. It's not a bad deal for both parties. 

Oh right. By the way, Master, if you want a business profile that's more trustworthy, come over to my side. Tezcatli Corporation is always ready to welcome you. 

Takasugi: Whoa there, I'll have to decline that. I won't just stand by and watch while you poach my most precious employee right in front of me.  

Tezcatlipoca: Heh, that's not how I'm seeing it though. After all, it's impossible to tell from the outside what's inside a person's heart. In any case, since you've retrieved the Holy Grail, hurry and return before the technical advisor catches you, or so says the Director. Adios!

Takasugi: Good grief, it sure felt like I was taken for quite the ride. But flying through the sky with you wasn't so bad. 

"If I had wings, I would fly for a thousand miles, and see countless countries."

Aah, why don't we fly, far, far away. You and me together, that is.

WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY HAVING SO MANY MERCH THIS YEAR, YOU GODDAMNED EVIL ONMYOUJI!!11!

The art is by P-Poco too… so pretty….

It used to be always Gil with Ojiman and Chinchin…

SO WHY IS IT DOUMAN NOW, HUH?!1?! (I would've still bought it if it were Gil)

The description???

"Enjoy the sight of Ashiya Douman, Ozymandias, and Qin Shi Huang relaxing by the night pool!"

WELL DAMN RIGHT, I WILLー

god damn iiiiiiiiiiit Douman 😭😭😭😭😭

[paranoid-rhythm]

I've no expectations for perfect TL from FGO NA but hoooooly fuck way to erase all hints of Seimei mentioned in this event 🫠🫠🫠🫠

First hint:

OG JP: かおるっちさー、あのイケメン陰陽師、 もっとお仕置き用の術とか残してないの。

Literal TL: Kaorucchi, that handsome onmyouji, does he have any more punishment spells left?

You can even TL it too as

"Kaorucchi, don't you have any more punishment spells left from that handsome onmyouji?"

I mean, sure Douman is a handsome bastard of an onmyouji, but HE IS NOT the subject here.

The translation from NA would've made sense if there's a preposition に (ni) next to あのイケメン陰陽師 (ano ikemen onmyouji). ALSOOOOO CONTEXT CLUUUUUUUUES We all know by now, Kaoruko kas a connection to Seimei. Even lent her the tsuchigumo in her summer NP.

Second hint:

OG JP: 覚悟したまえ! あいつに代わって僕がこってり絞ってあげよう!

Literal TL: Brace yourself! I'll wring your out in behalf of "that guy"!

Notice the stress on あいつ (That Guy)? Yeah. Because "That Guy" is the subject here, NOT Guda.

Once agaaaaaaaaaain, context clues. Kiichi is another Servant who has ties to Seimei. Also, the stress on あいつ (That Guy) means it's important, and if it's really in behalf of Guda, they would name Guda directly.

🫠🫠🫠

Third hint:

OG JP: あいつの直伝だぞ～？

Literal TL: "I learned this directly from that guy, you know?" OR "It's a direct transmission from that person, you know?"

Once again, why remove あいつ (that guy/person)???? When previous text showed stress to indicate importance??

Also 直伝 is a transitive verb, as such, the receiver of the action (learn) should be declared, even if only alluded to.

[paranoid-rhythm]

According to official TL, Douman's yukata got stolen (it wasn't in the OG text, just "stripped off" 脱がされた)

"Numerous witnesses reported seeing a large, naked man on the roofs. The management responded by announcing its official position on this, saying that the man might be Ashiya Douman, who had been stripped off of his yukata."

Still funny though, he's still naked... Douman.... www
