DREAM MEISTER & THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY

ALEX (Make a Wish on This Holy Night) CHARACTER CARD #1

━

The majestic city in which the angels reside is draped in a thick layer of pure white snow. It's a beautiful sight. 

ALEX : We'll meet back up at the Inn when the sun sets. 

EMMA : Understood! 

HARRIET : In that case, I'll be taking my leave now. Keep in mind that there is a candle-floating ceremony tonight, so make sure you think of a wish before it begins. Make the wish something that spreads love and positivity! Oh, I'll make sure to tell my family you say hi! 

EMILIO : I'll be off too. See you later, Emma.

EMMA : Yes, enjoy your day, Emilio. 

With that, Harriet headed off to visit with his family and Emilio went out to explore the city by himself. Leaving me alone with Alex. 

ALEX : Hmm...A wish...I can't think of anything to wish for...

EMMA : Neither can I. But, we'll have to think of something before the ceremony.

Alex, Emilio, and I were visiting Harriet's hometown, Arbitro. The city was bustling with angels and tourists alike, all excited for tonight's ceremony. 

Our reason for visiting was due to Chevalier Church being renovated. Due to the construction work, the Chevalier Knights who could afford it were taking a week-long vacation. 

As we gazed at the snow-covered city of Arbitro, Alex narrowed his eyes in deep contemplation.

EMMA : (It's so nice to see Alex in casual wear for a change.)

ALEX : Is something the matter?

EMMA : Oh, it's nothing important. It's just...Being in another country with everyone, especially with you, feels like a very special experience. 

ALEX : Haha. Now that you mention it, it does feel special. I suppose I should thank Harriet. Without his invitation, I would have never witnessed this beautiful snowscape or that lovely outfit you are wearing.

EMMA : !!

ALEX : Also, without your suggestion to take a break, I'd likely still be working on paperwork right now. So, thank you.

EMMA : You don't have to thank me, Alex. I'm just happy to spend time with you.

ALEX : Now then, Emma, what would you like to do until the ceremony? 

EMMA : Hmm...I haven't decided yet. For now, I think I'd like to explore the city.

ALEX : I see.

EMMA : Is something wrong?

ALEX : It's just been a while since I've had a break from my duties. So I was pondering how I'd like to spend it. I have no clue where to begin.

EMMA : So that's why you have that look on your face.

ALEX : Oh my, you noticed?

EMMA : It's really easy to read your expression when you aren't wearing your mask, Alex. 

ALEX : Haha. You have quite the observational skills. I wonder if you'd have been able to see through me if I were wearing my mask.

EMMA : (Perhaps I should suggest he come with me to explore the city? But, if he never gets a vacation away from Chevalier Church he might want to spend it alone...)

Just as I was debating asking him to come along, he spoke up,

ALEX : If you're willing, I would love to explore the city with you until we meet up with Harriet and the others for the ceremony. 

EMMA : I'd love that!

Important Announcement

EDIT: the date of the eos is actually nov 19th, not 29th like i mistakenly wrote😭 i apologise for the misunderstanding🙏

Hello everyone!

Though I hoped the day would never come, here I am. As some of you may know, as of today, the Yumekuro team has announced end of service, and the game will go offline on November 19th 2024. After such date, they will release an offline version of the game for us to view illustrations and read stories, although many functions (like dates/odekake) won't be available anymore. For further details, I suggest everyone checks their official twitter account.

Now, where does this leave my blog? I will try to translate as much content as I can, because i believe that archiving and preserving content that could easily vanish off the internet without trace is really important. Although these are my intentions, considering the way uni is starting soon and how it can be an extremely taxing job, I'm not sure I'll be able to fully upkeep this goal. Regardless, I will give it a try.

Thank you so much for having given this game a try, everyone!

He's so pathetic... I have to make him my oshi!!

[yumekurotl]

~Yumekuro Chapter 0 ~

CH 0-1

....Ah, you came. I thought I was going to die from waiting.

??: Good morning? or Hello- No. What about good evening?

??: I have been alone for a long time that I forgot how to say hello.

Choice 1: you're...?

Choice 2: This place is...?

??: First of all, I'm an evil fortune teller who's looking forward to your future. I'm now called Mirror.

Mirror: And here... Well, again you can take it as something like a dream.

Mirror: This often happens at the beginning of a story, a strange convenient dream.

Choice 1: still a dream...

Choice 2: I've had enough.

Mirror: God... Seems like you're already fed up. I understand, I'll do my best to finish this up as fast as possible.

Mirror: As the game master, I came here to give you the information you need.

Mirror: First of all, let's talk about the game board. The world where you live. This dream world we're talking about... You listening?

Choice 1: I'm listening with care.

Choice 2: Please be brief.

-Choice 1-

Mirror: Okay, then I too will explain with enthusiasm.

Mirror: The dream world, as what the name incline. It's a world that one cannot live in without the dreams power.

Mirror: The dreams power is... Strong emotions, and the willingness to look to the future. This kind of invisible energy-

Mirror: It's something close to a soul.

Mirror: The dreams power is given by the supreme of the world, the dream king, and nurtured by the people with their thoughts and feelings.

Mirror: What a wonderful system full of romance.

Mirror: Especially now, we are in an era that can be called the golden age. The strong dreams power which is full of purity, and people developing a wide variety of talents.

Mirror: In such a glorious world, you will now face a certain game.

-Choice 2-

Mirror: .... Understood. Let me tell you the gist of it.

Mirror: In this world full of dreams, in this age of shining dreams. You will now face a certain game.

------------

Mirror: And that's what interests me now. The role given to you is very interesting.

Mirror: As a fortune teller, let me make you a prediction. In this world, the current happy dream world will transform in the future.

Mirror: And you'll be in the middle of it.

Choice 1: I don't really understand.

Choice 2: ....Well, this is a dream anyway.

Mirror: Hmm. It's hurtful to get that kind of reaction. Even though, I'm used to loneliness.

Mirror: ...All right, all right. Then finally, I'll go with some fortune-telling that will make you happy.

Mirror: Let's change the place.

Mirror: I'll tell you who you are destined to meet in this story. Now, open the book.

Mirror: What, there's no rule that says fortune tellers have to use a crystal ball?

CH 0-2

Mirror: You were staring eagerly without looking my way, did you meet your fated one?

Mirror: This concludes the story's mediocre introduction. I hope that you will be able to make my boredom go away.

Mirror: I'm a bystander, but also a fan of yours. If there was an interesting development, I might favor you a little.

Mirror: Then, you may go. When you wake up later, you'll probably forget this dream.

Mirror: May the fairies protect you.

-END

------------------------------------------------

Dream world: It's a world where the people live on nurturing their [dreams power] with their strong emotions and the will to go into the future. The dreams power is given by the dream king which is considered the top of the world, and that's how the people were raised to live.

Dream king: The King of the Dream Kingdom, Troymare, and the pinnacle of the dream world. He gives people the [dreams power] they need to live.

Feld ⟡ Wonder Tea Party (03)

[01] [02] [XX] [04] [05] [06] [07]

“Operation: Prospective Marriage”

The day after we got our clue for meeting Alice— We were visiting the old flamingo gentleman’s house.

Feld: Give me a break... I’m astounded that you’re flinging yourself into this mess. Are you really going on this date?

Emma: Of course. I have to repay him for his kindness.

Emma: I’ll be upfront when I reject his grandson, so could you hold your anger until then?

Feld: ...Alright. I will stay out of this and not materialize.

Oscar: Emma, sorry we’re thrusting such an unpleasant job onto you. We’re counting on you this once.

The door opens as I nod.

Flamingo Gentleman: I’m terribly sorry for making you wait. Please, meet my grandson.

Young Flamingo Man: Heh~ So this is my prospective bride? She’s pretty cute. I think I’ll make her my fifth—no, third favorite mistress.

Emma: (H-He’s coming off strong right off the bat...!)

Feld: ......

Flamingo Gentleman: This young lady is Emma-san. And accompanying her is her older brother.

Oscar: I hope we can get along.

Young Flamingo Man: Ew. Like I’d ever want to get along with a guy as fluffy as you.

Feld: Ngh... Who does this guy think he is...!?

Feld’s fists are quivering, as if he’s about to throw a punch any second.

Flamingo Gentleman: Now, why don’t you go ahead and spend some time talking to my grandson alone?

Emma: Y-Yes, of course. Would you mind showing me around the mansion?

Young Flamingo Man: Sure! If you insist.

Oscar: And I will stay here to talk with this gentleman about fine cuisine.

Feld: ......

I exchange a glance with Oscar-san before leaving the room, an unmaterialized Feld trailing behind me.

—GALLERY—

Young Flamingo Man: Pretty neat, huh? This is my gramps’ collection. I’ll give you any one you want.

Feld: These aren’t yours to be handing out, you wretch...!

Young Flamingo Man: What do you think about this “Statue of the Beautiful Hero”? I mean, I’m obviously way more of a hero though.

Feld: I think you’re mistaking ��hero” for “coward,” you swine...!

The young man’s attitude angers Feld second by second, but he still suppresses the urge to materialize.

Emma: (I’m glad I’m not alone with this guy, but I’m starting to get worried...)

Young Flamingo Man: ...You’ve been kinda jittery for a while now. What, are you that happy to be on a date with me?

Emma: Huh? No, it’s nothing like that—

Young Flamingo Man: Haha, are you embarrassed? Girls like you are a breath of fresh air.

Young Flamingo Man: You’ve got a nice figure, you listen to me with a smile... I might even make you my first favorite.

The young man brushes his wing against my leg, but then—

Feld: Keep your wandering hands off her! You little buffoon!!

Young Flamingo Man: UWAA!?

A materialized Feld aggressively slaps away the young man’s wing.

Young Flamingo Man: Wh-Where did you come from...? And who are you, anyway!?

Feld: I’m... erm, I’m... her other older brother!

Emma: Feld, hold on a second...!

Feld: I waited long enough. I can’t take this anymore! I will not idly sit by and watch!!

Feld: I was quietly listening all along—what is the matter with you!? You’ve done nothing but puff out your chest and boast about yourself the whole time!!

Feld: Not to mention all you seem to care about is your own convenience! It couldn’t be more obvious how uncomfortable Mis—my little sister is!!

Feld: You can’t read the room, and you’re disgustingly entitled! Take a minute to feel ashamed of yourself, you imbecile!!

Young Flamingo Man: E-EEEEK!!

Emma: Ah...! There he goes.

Feld: Hmph! Just a little shouting sends him running? Pathetic!

Feld: The mere thought of that man becoming your husband makes my blood boil! He is not qualified in the slightest!!

Emma: Um, we weren’t really planning to get married, remember?

Emma: (But I guess we did fulfill the old man’s wish... in a way.)

I head back to the guest room along with Feld, who’s still steaming with anger.

Past Story - Towa (2)

!! Please note that the translation might be inaccurate as I relied on Google Translate and am not fluent in Japanese !!

Life As a Human Being

Days have passed.

.

The Wife of a Fruit and Vegetable Store : “Ah, wait a minute, customer!”

Towa : “I wonder what it is?”

.

As I finished shopping at a fruit and vegetable store, preparing to leave, a woman named ‘Okami’ intercepted me.

.

The Wife of a Fruit and Vegetable Store : “I’ll give you this as well, so take it”.

.

She proceeded to place some apples into the bag I was carrying.

.

Towa : “In that case, I’ll pay for it”.

The Wife of a Fruit and Vegetable Store : “It’s okay! It’s a bonus”.

.

The wife grinned. I learned that when you shop, you pay money for it… From her words and attitude, I understood that the apple was apparently being provided to me for free. That is, I don’t know why.

.

Towa : “…Thank you”.

.

Although the situation felt awkward, I thanked her.

.

The Wife of a Fruit and Vegetable Store : “Thank you again! I look forward to serving you ”.

.

Observing from the wife’s reaction, it seemed she had no qualms about my expression of gratitude.

.

Towa : “Was my response appropriate for that situation?”

.

Returning home after shopping, I asked Master Oswald about the encounter earlier.

.

Oswald : “There might be various interpretations of what’s correct”.

Oswald : “However, your response was perfectly humane”.

Towa : “I’m glad”.

?? : “…Would you come with me, if you wish?”

.

At that time, it was Grand Meister Oswald who had once saved me from being discarded.

.

Oswald : “”Are you experiencing life or merely operating as a machine?”

Oswald : “Regardless of the ethically unacceptable question, I’m interested in your future”.

.

Then Oswald taught me about human behaviour and mechanical technology. The shopping experience was part of the training to blend in and live among humans.

.

Towa : “Master Oswald, do you happen to have any apples?”

Oswald : “Let’s get some. However, the way you speak seems unbalanced”.

Towa : “I think the conversation is going well, but is there an issue?”

Oswald : “I notice that my tone has changed as we spend time together. Yet, if that’s intentional on your part, it’s a different matter”.

Towa : “I use ‘master’ out of respect”.

Towa : “I respect Master Oswald, that’s why I address you as such”.

Oswald : “I see”.

Oswald : “In any case, I’m not going to force you to fix it. Feel free to do as you wish”.

Towa : “Understood, Master Oswald”.

.

To this day, I am sometimes told that I am strange. Since I only talk to Master Oswald, I imitated him and ended up like this. I don’t think he intends to fix it. Because I wanted to be like Oswald.

ARIA OF THE YEARNING DOLL EVENT TALK (BANGGAN AND TOWA)

Dolls: Come on.... Come on....

Banggan: Gahahahaha! You're pretty good at that! Keep it up, little guy!

Towa: (······As if, It looks like the dolls are climbing trees.)

Doll 1: Yay..... We made it to the top...!

Banggan: Gahahahaha! When I said the top, I meant this far!

Doll 1: Wow.....! It's much, much bigger than one....!

Doll 2: I like it....! Me too, me too....!

Towa: (“High high” huh? Banggan-sama seems to be popular with the dolls.)

Banggan: Hm? Do you want me to do it too?

Towa: No, I'm—

Banggan: Don't be shy!

Towa: .....!!

Towa: I'm surprised you can lift me so lightly. ......Not heavy enough for you?

Banggan: I'm totally fine! I'll be fine even if there are two of you!

Towa: ......The muscularity of Banggan-sama is more than I could have imagined.

Towa: I've never had someone pick me up like this before. It feels very fresh and strange.....

Crow Card Story pt1

!!!TRANSLATIONS ARENT 100% CORRECT SINCE I DONT KNOW JAPANESE!!!!!

With the blue sky overhead, mixed with the engine sound of the motorcycle, the sound of the cutting wind resounds in your ears.

Crow: Emma hold on!

Emma: y-yeah!

On the arm around Crow's belly astride the bike, i put my strength in. As it was a signal Crow's engine is still burning! And at the same time, from behind I heard the sound of several motorcycles.

Man 1: Hey! Wait!

Man 2: Don't run away you two!

Man 3: Give me the treasure!

The men who relentlessy fired at me from behind were, in any way, not the man of the shadows.

Crow: Haha! Are these guys real?

Emma: Woah! This isnt the right time to laugh!

Emma: (thinking) Why are this happening?

Flashback......

Grandflare: Do you really want to join us in our search?

Emma: Yeah everyone seems pretty busy I have to become useful as guild keeper as soon as possible. The best way to get used to it its partecipate in a hands-on experience or an exploration

Itsuki: you are overflowing with energy

Crow: Haha, more than anything else, we are reliable. Of course you are welcome,right? Hey Gran-

Grandflare: if so there is an affordable on. Why dont you go with Crow?

I was excited inside. Gran spread out the commission on the table.

Grandflare: it has sparkle that seems to contain flames inside. They asking for a recovery of a rare ore, brucket cooper.

Grandflare: But I received a call that it was in a cave...

Emma: Are we have a problem?

Itsuki: the problem is where the cave is...

Crow: right there, they are famous for their cowardice

Grandflare: They are pretty belligerent. One person is not a big deal,but there are many.

Emma: i see

Emma: its cash though. When you hear rare things, you obviusly be interested.

Crow: That's how it is. It shine like a flame

Crow: if you say that. Its obvius that you want to see it.

Emma:But...if its such dangerous place. How do you get it back?

Crow: of course we have to get in. You dont have to worry

Itsuki: Sure. Its true that we can actually do something with Crow

Grandflare:After all Crow's luck is proven

Emma: luck?

Itsuki: yeah, if its a little mirror shot or a falling rock, it wont hit him.

Emma: is that so? Its so reassuring!

Crow: Well anyway its Emma's first job in tsukiwatari

Crow: let's do it together!

Return to present

And so when we find the less ore, although it was easy to pick it up...we are bumping into a problem on the way home....this is rather bad luck?

Crow: These guys are more persistant than i throught

Crow: Oh lucky! We shortcut from there!!!

Crow puts on the brake and changes the destination of the motorcycle. There was a steep cliff ahead

Emma: from there?

Crow turn his face back and looked at me with squinted eyes.

Crow: Emma, Hold on!

Emma: Im telling you?Wait,wait,wait!?

I tried my best to raise my voice. The momentum of the bike never stopped

Crow: Woooo!!!

The sky beyond Crow's back...this is the first time that I see it from this close.

KAI - VOICE COLLECTION

━

"Ugh. Professor Est's assignment is so incredibly difficult. It's giving me a headache."

"Hey, you feeling okay? You're not pushing yourself too hard, are you?"

"Take a break today, it'll be fine."

"If you ever feel unwell, don't hesitate to rely on me."

"I'll make sure you recover properly."

"How's your health? Your body is your most valuable asset."

"If you feel any discomfort, let me know."

"Don't push yourself too hard. I'll heal everyone. Radiant light."

"Damn…I still have a lot to learn."

"We should make some medicine together later. I'll make sure to heal you properly."

"This is the first time Magia Seminar has ever had a Guild Keeper. If you ever run into any problems, just let me know.

"Leave injuries and illnesses to me."

"Don't neglect your efforts to stay healthy, okay?"

"You've really settled into the guild. Your support is great, I'm relying on you."

"Watching you makes me feel like I can't lose. It's seriously motivating…Keep up the good work!"

"The desire to help someone is the same for both doctors and Guild Keepers right? So many you and I will get along well."

"Between lectures and patient treatment, there's a mountain of things to do, but we can't afford to stop here."

"As long as you're here, I can chase my dreams without hesitation."

"Alright, let's start another day of medical care!"

"If you're not feeling well, it throws me off too. That's why I want you to let me nurse you back to health."

"Taking a leisurely stroll is good for your health. How about going for a walk today, Emma?"

"Ah, it's been a while since I took a walk! Let's have a good dinner tonight and get to bed early…"

"I've got quite a few piercings, you know. Even though I'm a doctor. Do you think it's a bit too flashy?"

"Did it hurt getting my piercings? Not at all."

"My piercings are like my good luck charms. I try not to lose them, but sometimes they vanish and it gets me all worried."

"Actually my little sister bought me these piercings. Pretty cool, right?"

"Could it be that you're thinking about getting a piercing too? If you do, make sure to disinfect properly."

"If you're scared, I can give you a piercing myself. I know how to make it painless."

"Hobbies, huh? That's a sudden one. Well, I enjoy going on little food adventures."

"I like hanging out with Ange. Even though she doesn't like me that much. At least I'm more liked than Sion, right?"

"I'm really into card games too. People often say it makes me childish, but what can I say, I like what I like."

"But you know, the best thing is when I'm learning with the others at Magia Seminar. Like when we decipher Sensei's cryptic lessons, or I mess around with Sion. It's a blast."

"Now that you're here, it's even more fun."

"It's kind of unsettling when someone's checking your pulse, right? Oh, wait, is that just me?"

"Your arm is pretty slender, isn't it? Are you eating properly? If I put too much pressure, it might just snap."

"You want me to check more? Is it that much fun for you? Haha, sometimes you act like a kid."

"Here, let me see your wrist. Huh? Did your pulse just speed up a bit? Why is that?"

"Your face is kinda red, too…Do you have a cold? Hmm…Doesn't seem like it."

"Doing this…It reminds me of the old n' days when I used to wander around aimlessly just for fun. Huh? Oh, I'll tell you about it sometime."

"Ah, I've been sitting in the clinic all day, so it feels nice to stretch my body. Alright, where are we heading today?"

"Huh? Is my hat a bit crooked? Weird. I thought I was wearing it like I always do. Anyway, thanks."

"Hats are pretty cool, right? They can hide bedhead in an instant, and, most importantly, they look stylish!"

"Whenever you reach up to fix my hat it's so cute. Haha."

"Heh, my bad. From now on, I'll squat down so you can fix my hat. Thanks."

"You know what, since we're talking about it, let's buy you a hat! We'll pick one out together!"

"Ah, thanks for the massage, you're a lifesaver, seriously. I've had a string of consultations lately, and I was getting really stiff and uncomfortable."

"Ah, your thumb is hitting just the right spot, right below the shoulder-blades."

"Whoa, that feels…Mmm…You're quite skilled, aren't you?"

"Your arm must be getting tired, right? Let's switch and I'll give you a massage. Just so you know, I'm really good at this."

"Damn, you're super tense. Been accumulating stress, huh? Even if you're busy, don't push yourself too hard."

"I've been relying on you for everything. I'll gladly give you a shoulder massage anytime. Just ask without hesitation, okay?"

"Thanks. Mmm…It's incredibly tasty! Want a taste of mine?"

"Hey, aren't you a bit too close? It's not that I dislike it, but well, it's just making me a bit nervous…"

"You must be tired. I can tell just by looking at your face. Don't push yourself, please."

"Being with you is a really soothing experience."

"Hey, what do you say we don't head home just yet? Let's take a detour."

"Sorry, I just don't feel like letting you go just yet. I'd like to spend a little more time alone together."

"You're quite assertive sometimes, you know? It's not that I mind, but…I can't help but worry about if you're this intimate with anyone other than me."

"Your hand is so soft…I didn't mean it that way!"

"You don't want to let go? That's a cute thing to say…Alright, let's keep walking hand in hand."

"Normally, I wouldn't let anyone touch my eyes, but with you it's perfectly fine. It's really strange, isn't it?"

"What's that? My eyes are beautiful? Aren't you going too far with that flattery?"

"I have dark circles under my eyes? Well, it doesn't bother me. Besides, even if I am tired, you're here to comfort me."

"Make sure you only show this side to me, okay? I don't want anyone else seeing you so defenseless."

"You know, being with you really lifts my spirits. I'd like to be your personal doctor. Haha, what am I even saying!"

"Wait, is this…A birthday present?! Even though you're so busy, you still made time to get me something? Oh man, I'm so happy I can't help but smile."

"Listen, Emma, a person only has two arms…Haha, I appreciate it, but really, it's too much."

Gift (Likes) : "Oh, I love this! My spirits just went through the roof! Thanks a bunch!"

Gift (Likes) : "Wait, you got this for me?! Woah! I'm honestly so happy about it. Um, how should I return the favor?"

Gift (Neutral) : "Oh, what's this? You got it for me? Thanks, I'll gladly take it!"

Gift (Dislikes) "Uh, well…You know, I was hoping for something a bit different. Did you maybe forget something?"

-

KAI : Hey, Oboro, there's a dried fruit mentioned in this book, but I'm having trouble with the drying process. Can you help me out?

OBORO : Before relying on others, did you make an effort to research it yourself? I won't lend my wisdom to a slacker like you.

-

KAI : I'll make sure I get a better score on the next assignment than you do…! Prepare yourself, Sion!

SION : You never get tired of saying that, do you? How about learning at least one magic circle while you're busy bickering with me?

-

KAI : Huh!? Est-sensei, you put chili peppers in the coffee again…? Consuming too many stimulants isn't good for you! It's not healthy!

EST : Actually, I feel much better with a little spice…Why don't you try it, Kai? If you get injured, let me know right away.

-

KAI : Don't slow me down, Sion!

Yumekuro Artbook - Q&A (Yume Tsumugi)

>>> tsukiwatari ver. - magia seminar ver.

Canaan

Introductions: Canaan, the ring-maker. What I like are sweet sweet foods. …Ah. I’m silently sneaking out of the workshop right now, so please be quiet so they don’t catch me 🎶

MC first impressions: “Such soft cheeks”. Squishing them would calm me and give me motivation… I like them. However, I underestimated her tracking abilities… no matter where I go to slack off, she finds me pretty quickly. Hehe.

Bezer first impressions: Professor Bezel is super passionate. It’s amazing. I guess I’m surprised he’s that attached to me. I think it’d be good if he slacked off sometimes… wouldn’t that make him a better teacher, that understands his students’ feelings?

Meister you’re close with: Hmm, I don’t know. I don’t know if we really get along, but Volks always makes me behave. It’s like he’s always keeping an eye on me. It’s annoying, so I think I’ll seriously try to run away next time.

Adel

Introductions: I’m Adel, tailor for the royal warrant guild, Yume Tsumugi. I’ll tell you immediately: I only makes clothes for people I approve of. No matter how important their position or status. There are no exceptions.

MC first impressions: I was exasperated at the arrival of such a rookie. When she chose to speak, the content of her questions, everything was unpromising. Or so I thought— the speed at which she grows and her competitive spirit are not bad at all.

Jin first impressions: Jin, huh…. That one is so impatient there’s nothing to do about it. He quickly succumbs to his desires and indulges in as much pleasure as he can. At first, I thought he was knowledgable and with a good eye— though at least he has the good sense to be ashamed of himself. I’ll just have to wait and see how long he can keep up his self-control/abstinence.

Meister you’re close with: …unfortunately, there is no one up to such title. By the way, just to be on the safe side, if I you ever find me excessively praising the Meister named Merryrose, it’d be because of his powers, not because I truly mean it, alright? You better remember it.

Volks

Introductions: I'm Volks, a gems appraiser belonging to the royal warrant guild Yume Tsumugi. In addition to appraising gemstones, I’m also the guild leader and coordinate the royal family's activities. I look forward to working with you.

MC first impressions: I felt that she had the skills to be a winged guild keeper (TN: guild keepers have a wings shaped badge and Emma has it, idk if all guild keepers or only some of the best ones have it), and I was also drawn to that hidden charm of hers. I felt the need to make that brilliance shine even more beautifully by polishing it with my own hands. I got a little carried away.

Mel first impressions: I do not believe the time spent talking to Mel to be an unpleasant one. His knowledge and insight are remarkable, and above all, he is a diamond in the rough that is worth polishing. I plan to continue enjoying interacting with him in the future.

Meister you’re close with: I often eat meals together with Gastronomy’s Oscar, and we have a good relationship. I empathise with his greed in pursuit of fine cuisine. Whenever I entertain him, deciding on the menu is quite stressful.

Merryrose

Introductions: Dream perfumer, Merryrose. I belong to the royal warrant guild Yumetsumugi. The flowers on my arm? Don’t worry, don’t worry- Oh, that’s right. You shouldn’t get too close to me. Unless you want to be utterly charmed by me, mh?

MC first impressions: An interesting one. Her emotions are always showing on her face; she’ll react to everything. She’ll get mad if I play around too much with Adele, so I thought I’d found a new good person to tease, buuut… you never really know what’s going to happen in life.

Jester first impressions: Jester, huh… he’s so seriously out of his mind, it’s annoying. And what the hell do you mean by partner? (TN: The question asked is to talk about their “partner”, obv not in the romantic sense, aka the black fairies). He’s the one who decided to get attached to me on his own. He says there’s no shortage of unfortunate stories whenever he’s with me… tell a super happy story for once (?), dammit.

Meister you’re close with: It’s a guild thing, but Adel? It might not be mutual, since I’m only playing around with him one-sidedly… well, I like my guild mates. They’re strong-willed, so it’s easy being around them. Though I sometimes get really pissed at Volks’ unreasonable requests.

Iwagakure conflict reveals quite a lot about Hashirama

The Iwagakure negotiation (conflict…?) reveals quite a lot about Hashirama (if looking at this situation from a particular angle, that is)

We know not when exactly this incident takes place in the timeline of Naruto Shippuden, other than it being sometime after Konoha has been established.

It is most likely not during the early days of the village either, as both Madara and Onoki are wearing the symbols of their respective villages, which means that all the villages (Konohagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure) are established, functional and working for their own interest(s).

Whether this incident is before the Five Kage meeting, or after, is a touch trickier to answer.

Objectively I would say that it occurs before the meeting in question as Madara appears to have not yet distanced himself from the village - he even bears the symbol of Konoha on his person (and that is a rarity). It is, however, the words he speaks that indicates that he is still loyal to Konoha (as loyal as he can feel to a dream that was never his).

In my eyes - as I have mentioned in a few posts beforehand - this conflict is what causes Madara to consider turning his back on the village (in canon it is the modified stone tablet that, at the very least, does his psyche in once and for all) but this conflict/disagreement could honestly have been enough for Madara to conclude that staying in the village was pointless; both for personal reasons and reasons related to the village itself.

Madara’s expression in the above panel…there is something about the way he is drawn here that shows that Madara just…does not enjoy speaking the words he does (the first words, that is). He looks almost weary (melancholic even), which is not the gaze someone should have when they enjoy feeling superior and happy to get to “enslave” someone (a whole nation even) - “From here on you will obey the leaf.” Obey - that’s a harsh word.

In the german version Madara says the following:

“Es gibt kein Bündnis! Folgt Konoha, unserer Macht!”

Which translates into the following sentence in english (1:1):

“There is no alliance! Follow Konoha, our might!”

“Our might” is the keyword here. He presents himself as part of the village, as being an extension of Hashirama’s will - because it was probably Hashirama that sent him there in the first place. I doubt Madara would have gone to Iwagakure if not under the order to do so.

But for what reason?

The words also imply that Madara was not in Iwagakure for a pleasant chat or a diplomatic discussion (he was at the very least prepared for resistance judging by his attire)…then again diplomacy might have been the case, but Madara phrased himself rather poorly - which I do not agree with entirely.

Madara is honest - blunt but with an elegant edge to his speech - and he knows how to strike with his words to hurt, anger and psyche out his opponents (The Five Kage in particular come to mind).

“There is no alliance!” - these are some interesting words that carry a lot of implications. And to put them in context we have to look at what Onoki says before Madara answers him.

And Onoki says the following words in german (Onoki speaks in dialect in the german version, I have chosen to use the “understandable”/translated part in the glossary for this because the dialect is gibberish for those not knowing the language);

“Warum?! Das stimmt nicht!”

“Why?! That’s not right!”

“Meister Hashirama hat uns…”

The second part is a bit tricker to translate into something coherent from one language to the next. It looks like Onoki is about to say something akin to “Hashirama-dono has told us…” (has = hat and us = uns) this sentence is honestly wacky to translate into english - as we are missing the exact word to make the sentence make sense. In the german language the verb would be (almost always) at the end of the sentence (“Meister Hashirama hat uns gesagt”) and it’s the word after the … that is interesting. It can be anything really (said/lied (to us) depending how to interpret Onoki’s words in the end.

If I were to translate the sentence 1:1 it ends up looking like this (it looks more like a mathematical formula than a sentence):

“Hashirama-dono has …. (to)us…”

And in english the tone in this sentence (if translated 1:1 that is) becomes nearly ominous or sad and could almost be interpreted like a monologue.

But I’m derailing this post already, so I will stop the speculations and come back to the topic at hand.

For the sake of this analysis, I will say that Onoki wanted to tell Madara that “Hashirama-dono said to us that-….” to which Madara replies that “There is no alliance!”

It could mean everything from Iwagakure was planning an alliance with another of the five hidden villages (not that such would be a hinderance to Konoha, as long as it did not mean war?). It could mean that Konoha planned to form a more “loose” alliance with Iwagakure (as in exporting/importing specific wares), but Hashirama changed his mind and wanted to subjugate Iwagakure entirely to get their power on Konoha’s side. Or it could simply mean that Konoha (Hashirama) lied to Iwagakure, for whatever reason, and always intended for a more “brute force” method to get his will (through Madara).

Going over the tone of the words once more (and pretending Onoki meant to say something close to “Hashirama said to us that there would be an agreement”) the situation could be seen as Madara going to Iwagakure without orders to do so. If that is the case…this situation does happen after (to shortly around) the Kage meeting. As it was during that specific meeting that the Kage, at the time, were distributing the Tailed Beasts to achieve balance power-wise. And that can be seen as an “agreement”, but there are probably many more to which this situation can refer to honestly - as Madara makes no mention of a Tailed Beast. But it could, nevertheless, refer to one of them. The words are vague enough to imply any and every conflict, that was one of many, possible causes for the First Great Ninja war happening.

(I personally headcanon that it was Hashirama who ordered Madara to Iwagakure. It is just more interesting in that way. Both for Madara and Hashirama.)

Many characters feel resentment towards Madara (as in this particular instance) when their anger should be directed at Hashirama for being the one giving (most likely) the order for Madara to even be there. The latter is nothing else but an extension of Hashirama’s will at this point in time (most likely).

It is almost as if Hashirama uses Madara as a scapegoat and shield to escape punishment and dirtying his own hands…

There are many implications with this confrontation, but it is no denying that this confrontation caused a rift between Iwa and Konoha.

In the english dub the conversation goes as follows;

“What? But why?! That wasn’t the agreement, lord Hashirama said-“

“There is no alliance now. You’ll merely bow down to the might of the Hidden Leaf.”

But no matter, the end result is still that they clash (in the anime Madara uses Susano’o to destroy the building behind him and wound Onoki and Mū).

There is something about his expression that just…makes the whole situation feel wrong. Weariness and melancholia is what I mentioned above, but it could be interpreted as a look of disgust even…but whether it is directed at Onoki and Mū, or at something else (be it his thoughts in that moment, himself, Hashirama or Konoha itself) is not easy to answer.

It is quite telling that he is losing faith/has lost his faith in Hashirama as well, by the fact that he does not want to hear his name being mentioned. This indicates quite the rift between them, that something has gone wrong. Terribly so.

It is mostly likely some sort of disagreement. And it is most likely a disagreement about peace and/or about Konoha.

They have yet to speak by the stone tablet is my claim, but I will also claim that it is here that Madara understood what Izuna tried to warn him about. Despite being stoic, I imagine it left not even someone as stoic as Madara completely unfazed.

After all, he gave this peace of theirs a chance - despite his condition not being met (this peace was first and foremost for Izuna and their clan) and he has been met with disappointment after disappointment since then.

But the questions remains why Madara was even sent to Iwagakure (if he was) in the first place.

He is frowning here it looks like, he looks even thoughtful and a bit lost in his thoughts. But whether it has to do with the present situation, or something internally, is impossible to say as we are seeing Madara (once again) through the eyes of another character (Onoki).

It is here that we can piece together a possible philosophy for Hashirama’s view about peace.

Hashirama’s method of assuring peace is through dominance and power (mixed with a sense of compassion - that extends only so far…), while fear is ultimately what keeps the power balance in check. You could say that he is keeping peace upright through bonds and cooperation, and in a sense that is correct as well, however - somewhere along the way - Konoha changes Hashirama.

From this idealistic, dreamer who truly wanted the world to change;

To this terrifying and ruthless person willing to sacrifice anything and anyone for ‘his’ village;

While not identical, Hashirama’s way of achieving peace is similar to how Pain wanted to achieve it.

In the case of Hashirama, his method works for as long as he is alive. But, according to the Naruto timeline, he is said to have died quite young.

Considering the fact that the first Great Ninja War broke out sometime after (to shortly before) Hashirama’s death, it is quite telling how the power balance shifted so rapidly and readily once he was no longer there to keep things leashed.

Madara returns to Konoha, and he probably stays for a while longer, before he and Hashirama have their conversation by the stone tablet.

We can see here the philosophy behind Yin and Yang, and how Hashirama and Madara tried to achieve it in their physical reality by cooperating- but the results did not become what they hoped for.

While not a complete disaster, there was too little trust between them in the end. The friendship between Madara and Hashirama was never the most steady, but it’s here that it shatters once and for all.

Hashirama assembles as much power as he can, under one name (Konoha), but did he do anything for the clans under him? Did he do anything to soothe resentment/paranoia that had to fester in their hearts?

Not what we know, at least.

He tried to work together with the other villages - but it says nothing about what he tried to do for the clans living in Konoha.

In the above scan, Hashirama asks Madara to see everyone in the village as his “siblings” - “I want you to watch over everyone” and yet Hashirama, himself, cannot even have the back of the clan that founded the village with him. He cannot prove to Madara that he (Hashirama) is willing to watch over his co-founder and support him and his clan.

Then again, Madara probably let no one close to him at this point (or at any point after Izuna’s passing) which means that Hashirama could not reach him even if he may genuinely have wanted to do so.

He could not even stand up to his own brother (who was probably a thorn in Madara’s side and cause for concern with his politics). Hashirama could not be someone that helped foster some sort of begrudging understanding between Madara and Tobirama - despite not really knowing who Madara was as a person at that point (they were apart for at least a decade after all).

And in between them stood also the loss of Izuna (something Madara would never truly forgive Tobirama for).

We can also come to the conclusion that Hashirama has not really shown much resolve to “deal” with Tobirama over the years they have worked on this village. Madara knows Hashirama well enough by that point. He knows that his words are empty and that he will not back them up with action in the end.

He knows Hashirama well enough to know that the latter will not do anything. Not really.

He leaves the village. Knowing once and for all that the peace, he wanted so desperately to believe in, would not manifest through Konoha.
