3rd Anniversary. Bellen's card translation.

Part 1.

Some time after the audience with Mr. Elboa… In the ancient forest village… We decided to take a rest.

- Ancient Forest Village –

One day… I was walking together with Belen in the village.

Bellen: Ancient forest… It’s a beautiful place, rich in nature.

Bellen: Maybe it’s the purity of the air… I feel like I can become healthier just by breathing.

Bellen: Master, do you think so too?

You: Of course, I understand you a little.

Then… A voice, that sounded like a sob, was heard from somewhere.

Ancient Forest Residents: Sob… Sob… Ugh…

You: Someone… is crying?

Bellen: …It looks like they are. Besides, it looks like there’s more than one person crying.

Bellen: I'm worried... Can we go and see?

You: Yeah.

Bellen: I hear voices from the other side.

We walked in the direction where the crying was coming from.

*Step step step*

If you follow the sound of the crying... You can see the villagers gathered. And in the middle... The ancient people, motionless as if sleeping, were lying in a coffin.

You: This is...

Belen: ……….

Aro: Ah, Bellen-san, Name-san.

Chenoa: Good afternoon.

You: Hello...

Aro: Why are you two here?

Bellen: While walking around the village, we heard a voice... We were curious, so we came to see you.

Bellen: This is... A funeral, right?

Aro: Yes... A villager died yesterday.

Aro: So now... We are burying him, returning him to the earth.

Aro: In the Western Land, when dead people are buried in the ground...

Aro: They return to the ground... And they say that they become forest spirits and watch over people.

You: I see...

The ancient people placed flowers in the coffin. The person who slept in the coffin looked very young.

Villager: Sob... Sob... Dad...

Bellen: Dad?

Aro: Yes... This baby is his child.

Bellen: I see... People in the ancient forest, it seems, do not know how old they are.

Aro: For us, people of the ancient forest... Physical growth stops at a certain point...

Aro: Who is an adult and who is a child... Knowing who is who can be difficult for people who come from other lands.

Now that I think about it… When I visited the Western Land with the basement butlers… Miyaji explained that the ancient people's growth stops halfway through their lives. And… Also that they don't live long.

Villager: Sob… Sob… Uuugh…

Bellen: ……….

Bellen: ….I want to pick flowers.

Bellen: I want to mourn him too. I don't know anything about him, but…

Bellen: When he becomes a forest spirit… I want him to continue watching over everyone.

Aro: Thank you, Bellen-san. I'm sure he'll be happy too.

Bellen: Then… Master, I'm sorry, but can I ask you to give me some time?

You: I'll go pick flowers with you too.

Bellen: No, it's okay. Master, rest here.

Bellen: I'll pick some for Master too and come back.

Bellen: Be a good child and wait for me here.

You: …Okay, be careful.

Bellen: Yes. Then I'll go.

Chenoa: Bellen-san. If there are flowers, they'll be blooming over there.

Bellen: Thank you. I'm going.

And Bellen left me... He went to look for flowers.

- A few minutes later -

Bellen said he'd be back soon, but... He took longer than we expected.

Aro: I wonder how far Bellen-san went to pick flowers?

Chenoa: Is he having trouble finding flowers?

Chenoa: I said where the flowers were… But they were probably all picked by now…

Aro: Hm~m… There were a lot of flowers in other places…

Aro: After everyone picked them all… I’m not so sure about that anymore…

You: I’m a little worried…

Chenoa: I agree… I don’t think anything happened, but…

You: I’ll go look for Bellen.

Aro: Oh, okay.

Aro: We’ll be here… If anything happens, don’t hesitate to reach for us.

Chenoa: Be careful and don’t go too far into the forest.

Thanks to Aro and the others… I’m going to look for Bellen.

*Step step step*

I walked into the forest in the direction Bellen was going. And soon… I found him near the bushes.

Bellen: ………

Part 2.

Bellen holds a flower in his hand… He has a bit of a gloomy expression.

Bellen: …….

Bellen: …..Hah.

You: Bellen, are you okay?

Bellen: Wha…

Bellen: Master, you scared me.

Bellen: Why are you here…. Did you come for me?

You: You haven’t returned for a long time.

Bellen: I see… It seems like I made you worry.

Bellen: Sorry, Master. Are you feeling lonely?

Bellen: I can’t believe it’s been so long… I was so caught up in the flowers that I didn’t notice how quickly time passed.

Bellen: Then… Let’s go back to the village together?

You: You sighed a while ago…

Bellen: Sighed..?

Bellen: Ah… Did you hear…

You: Something happened?

Bellen: Hmm~m…

Bellen: If I continue to worry Master like this… It won’t be good.

Bellen: …To be honest, seeing the funeral earlier… I remembered Mr. Goetia’s death.

Bellen: Surrounding the motionless Mr. Goetia… Everyone was crying.

Bellen: …People’s death… People are saddened when they see it…

Bellen: …I still can’t get used to it.

Bellen: Even if someone who has nothing to do with me died… My chest tightens.

You: So that’s it…

Bellen: …Oh, I’m sorry.

Bellen: I wanted you to stop worrying, but… Hearing that made you even more worried, right?

Bellen: I’m fine. Don’t worry.

If he doesn’t like funerals... Maybe he doesn’t have to force himself to come back. Why not just give Aro-san the flowers and go somewhere else? Having thought so, I decided to tell my thoughts to Belen.

You: If it's hard, then don't force yourself...

Bellen: ...No. I want to mourn properly too.

Bellen: I'll come back and give flowers.

You: Is that so... Okay.

And we... We're back for the funeral.

*Step step step*

Aro: Bellen-san, Name-san. Welcome back.

Chenoa: You were so late... Did something happen?

Bellen: We're back. Sorry for making you worry.

Bellen: I wanted to pick the most beautiful flowers... I took my time choosing, and it seems like too much time has passed.

Bellen: Thanks to Master who came... I made my choice.

Aro: Heh... I can't believe you care so much about the beauty of flowers... Bellen-san, you're really kind.

Bellen: That's not true. In fact, I'm sorry for making you wait.

Bellen: If Master hadn't come... I might not have returned yet...

Bellen: Thank you for coming for me, Master.

You: Y-Yeah.

Bellen: So... Then...

Bellen: Right away... Can we lay flowers?

Chenoa: Yes. We haven't laid anything yet, so let's go together.

Approaching the coffin... We carefully laid the flowers.

Bellen: ………

Bellen: Rest in peace...

Bellen closes his eyes and prays silently. The way he prayed earnestly for the stranger... I felt his kindness. Like Bellen, I close my eyes... I offer my prayers straight from the heart.

You: (Please watch over everyone.)

Bellen: ……..

Bellen: …..Master...

Bellen: …….Heh...

And... After praying, we decided to leave the burial site.

- A little later -

After saying goodbye to Aro-san and Chenoa-san… Bellen and I were walking in the forest together.

Bellen: ……..

You: …Belen, does it still hurt?

Bellen: …No, everything is fine.

Bellen: …If I say that, it will only make you more worried.

Bellen: Sorry, Master. I am really fine.

You: Is that so…

Bellen: Uh-huh.

Bellen: …..

Bellen: Fufu… Master, why are you looking like that?

Bellen: You are so worried… Master is a truly kind person.

You: I think it is natural.

Bellen: That is not true.

Bellen: Getting close to another person’s heart… You pray earnestly even for a stranger.

Bellen: It is not natural… Master is a special and wonderful person.

Bellen: Because there's such a kind person by our side... I think that's what saved the hearts of all the butlers.

You: All the butlers..?

Bellen: Because... The devil butlers are hated all over the world... People say terrible things, don't they?

Bellen: No matter how much we risk our lives to save people... We'll still be despised.

Bellen: Even thinking about it... It's too painful.

Bellen: But everyone... They have Master they care about.

Bellen: Every time something happens... We have Master who worries about us and is grateful to us.

Bellen: The existence of such a person... I'm sure it's a support for everyone.

You: I wish it were like that...

Bellen: Fufu... Be confident, master.

Bellen: It's been a while since I met Master...

Bellen: When I'm with Master... I think I can understand what other butlers feel..

Bellen: Without realizing it... I feel like I'm starting to be drawn to such a wonderful Master.

You: Eh?

Bellen: I want to protect this person… There’s a certain charm about Master that I can’t help but think about.

Bellen: Strong and kind… Such a sweet Master.

Bellen: I’m so lucky to have met such a person.

You: Um… Thank you.

Bellen: … Fufu. Master, your face is turning red.

Bellen: Did I make you flustered?

After saying that… Belen gently stroked my head.

Bellen: There, there …

Bellen: Master really is a very sweet child.

You: …Are you teasing me?

Bellen: I would never. That’s not true.

Bellen: I’m not saying that as a joke.

Bellen: I’m glad I met you, Master… I’d be happy if we could be together forever.

Bellen: I really think so.

Bellen looks at me with kind eyes. I couldn’t… I looked away.

Bellen: …Listen, master.

You: What is it?

Bellen: Remember what I told you about the future the other day?

Bellen: After all the angels disappear… What would I like to do?

You: Yes, I remember.

Bellen: As I told you then… There are many things I would like to do.

Bellen: I want to open an orphanage, and I want to open a bar. I would also like to travel.

Bellen: And…

Belen: If Master was here… I’m sure it would be more fun.

You: Bellen …

Bellen: If I had said that when we first met… It would have caused you problems.

Bellen: But… I seriously think so.

Bellen: The future with master… I want to see it.

Bellen: What about you, master?

You: I...

Bellen: ....

Bellen: ...Fufu. Okay, it seems you're very confused.

Bellen: There's no need to answer now.

When Bellen said that... He gently touched my lips with his index finger.

Bellen: Confused and lost... And when you find unwavering feelings within you...

Bellen: Tell me.

Bellen: I... Will accept any answer.

You: (...Truly any answer..?)

Seeing my confused face... Bellen winks at me mischievously.

Bellen: ...Well, of course...

Bellen: In order to get the answer I desire... I'll do my best.

Bellen: From now on... Let's spend a lot of time together, Master.

Bellen strokes my head again. His gentle and sweet smile... I imagined a future with him.

[Event Story] 3rd Anniversary -Mark of Glory-

Events Referenced: Ice Castle of Thaw

previous chapter ✧ all ✧ next chapter

Chapter 2: Trip for the Request

Yuhan: I see… Evidence that proves we’re worthy of receiving the reward…

Teddy: Even if they tell us that all of a sudden… What kind of evidence would be good?

Shiro: An angel’s head… would be impossible. Since they disappear as soon as they are defeated.

Bellen: …Shiro? Don’t just say something scary so nonchalantly.

Lucas: Fufu. There’s no need to think so hard about it.

Lucas: Finlay-sama has already taken care of that.

Lucas: What we have to do is… As delegates of the Central Lands, go to various places and deliver official letters.

Haures: Deliver letters…? That’s it?

Lucas: Yup. In those letters, “Please document the Devil Butlers’ contributions,” is written…

Lucas: We’ll bring those documents back with us, and it’ll become the “objective evidence” that proves we’re worthy of receiving the reward.

Fennesz: I see. So we’ll be having the people we’ve met so far provide proof of our accomplishments.

Fennesz: Having to ask them ourselves, though… It’s a bit embarrassing.

Lamli: But if we gather evidence… We’ll get a reward, right?

Lamli: Then let’s do it! If it’s just delivering letters, then it’ll be easy ♪

Hanamaru: Yup. We can just treat it like a small trip.

Hanamaru: If we’re “delegates”, that means the travel expenses will be covered by the Grovaner family, right? I’ll take what I can get.

Ammon: That’s right. Anyways, I’m glad this request isn’t hard.

Nac: Berrien-san, how many places will we be delivering letters to?

Berrien: There are four major places: Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Lands.

Berrien: Since it’s a chance to travel… And we have plenty of time before the deadline…

Berrien: I want Aruji-sama to be able to enjoy traveling to all the different places… What do you think?

> So we’ll be going to all the lands?

Berrien: Yes. It’ll be a long trip, but… Since we’ll be going to all the places we’ve been to up until now…

Berrien: I’m sure it’ll be a fun one.

Berrien: Fufu… It’s basically a trip around the world.

> It does seem fun.

Berrien: I’m glad. Then it’s decided.

Berrien: Next, we have to decide who will accompany Aruji-sama, but…

Berrien: Why don’t we change who’s accompanying Aruji-sama for each destination?

Miyaji: I see. Then it’ll be fair.

Miyaji: The butlers staying back at the mansion can also continue the ritual of prayers too.

Lono: Fine by me! If it’s alright, I’d like to go somewhere far away!

Bastien: Hmm… I see. If you do that, then you can spend a longer amount of time with Aruji-sama.

Bastien: I’d like to go somewhere far too then.

Lono: Hey! Don’t expose my plan! And don’t copy me!

Haures: Hm… We’ll decide who’s going where later…

Haures: First, we need to make preparations for the trip.

Flure: Yes! I have to hurry and make new outfits for so many people.

Bellen: Uhm… Make new outfits? For all of us?

> (So he’s making new ones after all…)

Bellen: Uhm… Flure-kun. Why do you need to make new ones?

Flure: Because we’re going to be visiting many places as delegates of the Central Lands, right?

Flure: Then as delegates we have to be dressed properly!

Bellen: As delegates… That makes sense.

Bellen: Wait a minute… I just agreed without thinking, but hold on.

Bellen: If we need proper outfits, then… Then aren’t our usual tailcoats enough?

Flure: Yeah, but… I want us to really look the part!

Flure: Ah, by any chance… Do you not like my outfits, Bellen-san…?

Bellen: Of course I like them. Your outfits are always the best.

Bellen: But making outfits for almost 20 people… Isn’t it a lot of work?

Flure: It is, but I’m so excited! Please look forward to them!

Bellen: G-Got it… If there’s anything I can help with, let me know.

Shiro: ……Flure…… When it comes to outfits, why do his eyes change?

Lato: Kufufu… When Flure gets like that, no one can stop him.

Lato: All we can do is help him, so he doesn’t work too hard on his own.

> Flure, don’t push yourself too much.

Flure: Yes! I’ll do my best without pushing myself!

Boschi: …What kind of response is that?

Muu: Fufu… Making outfits is a lot of work, so I’m worried about Flure-san, but…

Muu: At the same time, I’m also excited to see what kind of outfits he’ll make! Right, Aruji-sama?

> Yeah, me too.

And so the butlers and I will be delivering official letters to the various lands…

A few days later the trip preparations were finished, and we changed into the outfits Flure made for us…

First, I’ll be traveling to the Northern Lands with the first floor butlers.

【Central Lands - Snowy Mountain】

WHOOOOOSH…

Lono: Brr… S-So cold…

Berrien: The amount of snow is gradually increasing. Just as Bastien-kun said…

Bastien: Yeah. Good thing we decided to change route at the last minute.

Bastien: If we had continued going the other way to the northern border… We would have gotten stuck in the snow.

Lono: I-I don’t mind taking a detour, but… Is there really somewhere for us to stay on this snowy mountain?

Bastien: Yeah. Aruji-sama and Muu have been there before too.

Muu: Ah, that’s right… No wonder why I thought this looked familiar.

> If I remember correctly, along this path is…

Bastien: There it is.

Bastien: The “Ice Palace”... Aruji-sama, the others, and I stayed here before. It’s a noble’s mansion.

Berrien: …Oh my? Someone from the mansion is coming over here.

Step… step… step…

Shira: …Geez. I thought I saw people from the window, so I came to check…

Shira: I didn’t think it’d be you guys. Long time no see.

> Ah! It’s…

Muu: Shira-san! It’s been a while!

Berrien: So you’re Shira-san? It’s nice to meet you.

Berrien: I’ve been hearing about you for quite some time now. I’m Aruji-sama’s butler—

Shira: Yeah, yeah. Let’s save the introductions for later and go inside first.

Shira: It’ll be a pain if another incident happens. This way.

Lono: Brr… T-Thanks…

Butler's Dream - Home Screen Interaction

"What sort of dream will Master have tonight? I hope its a wonderful dream that makes you reluctant to wake up."

"A dream that I want to have?"

Berrian:

"Well..." "Of course I'd like a dream spent surrounded with my favorite black tea." "B-but... I'd also like for Master to be there too" "A-apologies! It wasn't meant with any odd intentions." "I'm a butler... so I simply want to support my Master even in a dream."

Rono:

"Huh, what do I want to see?" "I'd want to sample a whole variety of amazing food from everywhere!" "Ah, but eating it alone would be kinda boring..." "If Master was eating with me... that'd be an even better dream!" "Ack, s-sorry. I didn't mean it in any weird way or anything." "I'm a butler... Even in a dream, I just want to help my Master out..."

Bastien:

"Hmmm... Let's see..." "A dream where I get to fill my stomach with meat dishes that Rono cooked..." "It would be nice... if Master was also with me..." "S-sorry, I might have said to much just then. Please forget about it..."

Haures:

"Hmm... This may be a little childish but..." "A dream which features a dog... would be very nice..." "A-and... I'd like it if Master was there" "I-I'm sorry...! I didn't mean for it to come off like that!" "As a butler... I simply want to be of aid my Master, even in a dream."

Fennesz:

"Hmm... A dream where I can read for the whole day is tempting but..." "I-if its permissible, I'd like Master to be there with me... Or something like that..." "I-I'm sorry! I just suddenly... something so brazen...!" "T-that wasn't said with any ulterior motives or anything..." "I'm a butler so... I'd like to assist my Master, even in a dream"

Boschi:

"Hmm... I usually don't dream at all but..." "If Master were to be in it, it'd might be a pretty fun dream"

Ammon:

"Hmm... Maybe a dream where I'm surrounded by a field of beautiful roses?" "And of course, if Master were to show up, I'd be plenty happy♪" "Lets take a stroll and smell the roses together♪" "I'll teach you a whole lot of things!"

Lucas:

"Hmm... Being able to sit down and read a medical publication paired with a delicious wine is a wonderful dream but..." "Ah yes, I'd like to have a dream where Master makes an appearance in. " "Drinking with Master and engaging in stimulating conversations together sounds like a wonderful time."

Nac:

"Yes... This is quite the question that you have posed..." "But if there is one thing that I can say..." "If I could see Master's own dreams... I'd be delighted" "I am, at my core, someone who does not posses many desires or wishes of my own but..." "Various things seem to be the exception when it concerns you..." "Oh my, it seems that I may have spoken a little too much just now." "Please disregard my ramblings just now, Master."

Lamli:

"Do you even need to ask? Of course I'd die to see a dream where I can have my lovely Master alllll to myself!" "Wandering around with Master~! Stargazing~!" "Fufufu~Just imagining it has got me smiling all wide and giddy!"

Miyaji:

"Hmm... Well it might be quite troublesome to say but..." "Speaking frankly, one where Master appears in, maybe?" "If that were to happen... what a wonderful dream that would be"

Flure:

"Hmm.... Let's see..." "A dream where I'm surrounded by lovely clothes would be wonderful!" "I'd love to dress you up in so many different outfits..."

Lato:

"Hmm. A parsley field where I can eat all the parsley I want would be nice." "There's Miyaji-sensei and Flure..." "Ah! That's right. Master is also invited." "Lets enjoy a parsley party together okay, Master?"

Hanamaru:

"I dunno... Huh, nothing really comes to mind." "Well, it might be a bit dark but... a dream featuring my hometown, maybe?" "I'd show you all the sights and sounds of the place that I grew up with..." "..." "Its something that I could never do in reality so..." "But if its a dream, there's a chance of it coming true..." "Oops, that got kinda dark for a sec. Sorry, Master."

Yuhan:

"Let's see... A dream where I'm in nestled within a beautiful grove of peach trees, perhaps. " "In my home village, there were quite a few peach trees planted around the area. I used to spend a lot of time among them when I was younger." "Just looking at the beautiful scenery can soothe even the most troubled hearts." "And, I'd like for Master to share this dream with me." "I will always yearn to spend time with the ones closest to my heart."

Teddy:

"Hmm.... A dream where I can see the sunrise, maybe?" "Seeing a sunrise in your dreams is quite the auspicious sign, it means that your luck will steadily rise!" "With that rising luck, good things are also more likely to happen!" "And I'd like it if Master could also be there as well." "I really enjoy the time I spend with Master. Even in a dream, if I can experience that, then that would be supper lucky!"

Bellen:

"... The same dream I have every night, I suppose." "... Just like now, I'm allowed to be with Master..." "And with Berrian and the others by my side..." "I'm much more happy living out this reality than I ever could be in a dream. Every day is like a miracle for me." "I can't begin think... of anything that I would even wish for."

Shiro:

"If your dreams turn sour, its a sign that your stress is building." "So it better to have good dreams." "A dream that I'd like to have?" "......... Nothing in particular." "......" "..." "What? Why are you looking at me with such incessant eyes?" "Hah..." "Frankly speaking, I'd like to dream of the past." "Those who I can not meet in reality, can be communed with in dreams." ".... hah. I've spoken of such dull topics." "Forget it."
