Akatsuki, when Emma gets a crush: Can't believe you're getting so worked up about some guy!

Emma: This one is different! He is honest and and he is sweet! He would never do anything to hurt me!

Akatsuki: Oh please, he's a guy!

Welcome to the Beast's Party!

Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors and inaccuracies.

One week left until the thank-you party for Emma.

Yves: "This is bad."

Leon: "Real bad."

Yves: "We've already picked out the desserts, booked the orchestra—even the entertainment is all set."

Leon: "The tailor has delivered Emma's dress, and we've already sent out invites to our close friends."

Yves: "Yet somehow, I've got this weird feeling."

Leon: "Because it's boring. It's just too normal. It's bland."

Yves: "Maybe so, but Emma would probably be happy with it."

Leon: "But is normal really good enough? Is our gratitude only worth that much?"

Yves: "Ugh..."

???: "How about a divine blessing for such troubled gentlemen?"

Yves: "Uwaaahhh!?"

Azel: "My apologies. I didn't think you'd be surprised enough to jump off the sofa."

Silvio: "Yo, you guys are stressing over some pretty trivial stuff."

Leon: "You're joining in, so does that mean you're going to help us out?"

Azel: "Of course. Guiding troubled souls is what a god does, after all."

Silvio: "Got a price list?"

Azel: "Right here."

Yves: "You're charging us for this?!"

Azel: "Of course. Since you're princes, I'd recommend the premium plan."

Leon: "Maybe relying on a god isn't a bad idea. Yves and I have been racking our brains and still haven't gotten anywhere."

Yves: "Leon, look closely! These are rip-off prices!"

Azel: "They're not. It's a fair rate. I have the means to solve your problems."

Azel: "You can make Emma even happier just by throwing money at me."

Silvio: "Where's that confidence coming from?"

Leon: "Then I'll go with this God's Direct Premium Divine Oracle Plan."

Azel: "Leon, you're a most excellent customer. I can tell—we're going to be great friends."

Silvio: "Total sucker move."

Azel: "Exactly. I mean, thank you for your patronage."

Azel: "Now, let's get serious."

Azel: "You wanted to add some flair to what felt like a plain, boring party, right?"

Yves: "But we also don't want to go full-crazy like Clavis."

Azel: "Of course. Emma doesn't strike me as the type to have a pitfall trap fetish. So, here's my proposal—"

Silvio: "..........."

Leon: "Not bad, huh?"

Yves: "We're pretty much done. Honestly, I think it turned out pretty great."

Azel: "Truly wonderful. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know you gentlemen very well, but now I see Rhodolite has capable princes—not just easy marks to be taken advantage of. I'm impressed."

Silvio: "Are ya guys stupid?"

Leon: "What?"

Silvio: "It's just a party."

Leon: "An important party to express our gratitude to Emma."

Silvio: "This ain't even a party anymore."

Leon: "How so?"

Silvio: "Like that thing over there. What even is that?"

Leon: "That's the High-Speed Jet Trolley Coaster. It races along tracks laid on the ground at breakneck speed."

Leon: "Someone flew off during the test run, but a little chaos is just part of the fun, right?"

Yves: "Do you even know the meaning of limits!?"

Silvio: "Exactly. And what about that thing?"

Yves: "That's the Labyrinth of Beauty—you can't leave until you've acquired a fashion sense."

Yves: "Once you're in, you're not getting out until you put together a full outfit I approve of."

Silvio: "Yeah, no thanks. What about that one?"

Azel: "That's the Fortune Teller's Pavilion. I thought I'd open a little pop-up shop."

Silvio: "Don't just casually butt in! Also, you got the digits wrong on the price."

Silvio: "You guys seriously took this divine con artist's advice to heart?"

Yves: "I thought it was a great idea."

Leon: "Same here. I mean, when else would we get the chance to build a prince-themed amusement park just for Emma?"

Silvio: "Something's not right. This whole idea's way too cheerful for a shut-in like him."

Azel: "Ouch. That was a deeply hurtful remark—I'm entitled to emotional damages."

Silvio: "Cut the crap. I know you're hiding something. You can't fool me."

Azel: "........"

Azel: "Fufu."

Leon: "Wait, so you were up to something?"

Yves: "After scamming us that badly!?"

Azel: "Now, now, let's not get dramatic."

Azel: "You followed my advice and created a theme park. You've arranged a grand surprise for Emma."

Azel: "No one's lost anything. Everyone's a winner."

Azel: "Now then, let's give it a test run. After all, we can't risk anything happening to Emma."

Silvio: "………"

Azel: "Oh my, Prince Silvio, are you interested in riding the coaster?"

Silvio: "I never said that."

Azel: "Leon, it looks like we have a customer."

Leon: "Got it, this way, please."

Silvio: "I SAID I'M NOT INTERESTED! Hey, stop grabbing me from both sides!"

Silvio: "You two are way stronger than you look!"

Yves: "Prince Silvio is being dragged away."

Leon: "Don't worry. I'll ride with you."

Silvio: "Didn't you say someone got thrown off during the test run?!"

Leon: "He didn't die, so it's fine."

Silvio: "You know, you seem normal, but you're actually kind of crazy."

Azel: "Alright, you two, are you ready? Safety bars secured nice and tight?"

Silvio: "Wait, you're coming too."

Azel: "I'll pass. Yves said he'd get lonely waiting by himself."

Yves: "I never said that!"

Azel: "Come on, Yves. Let's smile and wave goodbye."

Azel: "Well then, off you go on a thrilling and heart-pounding journey~!"

Yves: "B-Bye?"

Silvio: "Stop waving like that—it's pissing me off! HEY, ARE WE EVEN SURE THIS THING'S SAFE?!"

Leon: "Haha! Now, this is the kind of speed I'm talking about!"

Silvio: "This is dangerously fast!! It's downright criminal!!"

Yves: "They disappeared in a flash. You really think they'll make it back in one piece?"

Azel: "If fortune smiles on them, they just might."

Yves: "Don't say ominous things like that!"

Azel: "By the way, Yves, what other attractions are there?"

Yves: "Yeah, um, over there is my cute little brother Licht's dojo."

Yves: "Then there's an adults-only tavern, courtesy of Jin. And that brightly colored, giant tent shaped like a clay idol is—wait, did that always exist?"

Yves: "Don't tell me—Clavis?"

Azel: "Let's not get too close."

Azel: "Still, I'm impressed you managed to build all this in such a short time."

Yves: "Well, all the brothers pitched in."

Azel: "You really are a close-knit bunch."

Azel: "By the way, who provided the most funding for this theme park?"

Yves: "Funding…?"

Silvio: "*pant, pant* Hey, you idiots—don't just stand around chatting!"

Azel: "Oh, back already? That was quick."

Leon: "It's a high-speed jet trolley, after all. This time, no one flew off."

Silvio: "That's because I held on for dear life! And don't you dare put that woman in this death trap!"

Leon: "It'll be fine if I act as the safety lock."

Silvio: "No, it won't, you absolute dumbass!"

Leon: "Relax, I was kidding."

Silvio: "You suck at joking, you know that?"

Azel: "Ah, Prince Silvio. Your beautiful hair is all tousled."

Azel: "Good thing I brought a comb—here, let me fix it for you."

Silvio: "Don't think sucking up is gonna save you. I will never forget that you put me on that death ride."

Yves: "Judging by how this went, we'd better double-check the safety of the other attractions as well."

Silvio: "Alright, I'm out. I'm not some bored idiot with time to kill."

Azel: "Now, now, don't be like that. Let's enjoy everything this place has to offer—for Emma's sake, too."

Azel: "Truthfully, I've lived a life completely disconnected from amusements like these, so I'm rather intrigued."

Azel: "For someone like me—who wasn't allowed to enjoy anything beyond books—this place is a dreamland."

Yves: "Now that you mention it, I wasn't really raised in an environment where I was free to play either."

Yves: "Feels kinda weird going all out for fun now that I'm an adult."

Leon: "If that's the case, I'm probably the same. I was too busy trying to study and survive back then."

Azel: "Prince Silvio—you had a pretty rough childhood too, didn't you?"

Silvio: "How the hell do ya know that?"

Azel: "It seems that all of us here might have finally found our way to 'play' thanks to Emma."

Leon: "Can't argue with that."

Yves: "Looks like we've got another reason to be grateful to her."

Azel: "And by doing so, we may also discover who the richest man in Rhodolite truly is…fufu..."

Silvio: "You…"

Silvio: "You really don't miss a thing, huh?"

CHEVALIER HIJACKING THE APP - RUMORS ABOUT HIM - TRANSLATION

Chevalier has a flair for the fine arts as well. Rumor has it that a painting by him could cost as much as an entire country.

He secretly enjoys how the bookshelf reserved for his fiancée’s use is gradually filling up with new books over time.

Even hard-to-train horses become obedient in an instant when they face Chevalier.

Since his fiancée loves roses and books, it is rumored that he supports many rose breeders and writers.

His guard, Lucian, is able to work nonstop all year, so Chevalier becomes his sparring partner and deliberately exhausts him to force some rest. It is rumored that Chevalier has this considerate(?) side for his subordinates.

They say that if you happen to see Chevalier smiling at his fiancée, it is a good omen, and all your wishes will come true.

He is famous for making children cry. It is rumored that he once made 10 children cry at the same time. As for adults, they say he made 5 people cry at once.

When he knows his fiancée is making beignets, his mood improves so much that his already incredible work speed increases even further.

He still keeps the children's picture book that Clavis made and gave him as a prank when they were little.

It's rumored that he can feel his fiancée's presence within a radius of approximately 50 meters.

One thing I've been wondering...where does the impression that Leon is unpopular with players come from? Just because something isn't the most popular, doesn't mean it's UNpopular.

As far as I can tell looking at the past election results, he's placed pretty much middle of the pack, and JP and EN players have basically the same feeling towards him. Yet I keep seeing people talking about him like it's a given he's unpopular.

Is it just because he's in the middle and doesn't have as many whale backers?

Was there something specific that happened that caused it that can actually be pointed to?

Or was it something like popular players projecting their own feelings for him onto the playerbase in general and that becoming an accepted belief?

Is it just because the Chev fans are so vocal and Leon is more or less his rival so people take that to mean he can't be liked?

Or people taking others criticizing his route to mean they dislike him as a character?

Clavis & Cassandra

Spoiled again by the talented @dododrawsstuff

She makes my dreams come true!

Tranquil domestic moment between Clavis and Cass...

The morning was quiet, save for the gentle clink of porcelain and the low hum of a world not quite awake. Steam curled from untouched cups of tea, but neither of them moved to sip.

Clavis sat beside her, one arm draped lazily behind her chair, the other cradling his cup like it was part of a routine he never thought he’d have. Cassandra leaned into him, cheek resting against her knuckles, eyes closed with a smile that held no secrets—only the contentment of being exactly where she wanted to be.

He watched her in that rare hush, and for once, he didn’t wear his grin like armor. Just ease. Just affection.. Then, with a quiet breath, he pressed a kiss to her hair—brief, unannounced, but full of a tenderness that made her cheeks bloom with warmth.

“Careful,” he murmured, voice curling at the edges like smoke, “you’re going to make me believe in happy mornings.”

She only hummed, eyes still closed. “That wouldn’t be such a bad thing.”

And for once, he didn’t argue.

Keith's sequel 7ch (1st prince)

A bit about Kagari's brother...

In Japanese, his name is written like this シオウ. But… how this will be translated into English is a mystery. I listened to how it sounds… and it's something like "Sio". But… Keith had a little brother with the name "Tio"… it sounds too similar, so I doubt they'll use that pronunciation. The translator often give the result "Shiou". But there are too many vowels, which are quite difficult to pronounce. Like… how to say it? "Shoo", "Shiu", "Shou"… I don't like any of that. So, I'm guessing it's "Shio". The Korean letter ㅅ has two readings… "s" and "sh", depending on which vowel is next to it. So I think it's similar in Japanese. I may be wrong, but for now I will stick to this idea.

If you can't wait to read this story right now… @.caffedrine made a wonderful translation. Here's a masterlist.

Let's start with the simplest one… appearance.

How does she know??? It's on his back, how does she know the length of his hair? He can't sit the way she saw it. Right? That would be impolite. So… he's showing off!!! He turned his long tail over his chest so people could admire it. That's the only explanation I have. Why do they give such a vivid description and not give us a picture?

...

Right... He's not LI...

And a little more…

Don't tell me that's the reason Kagari left house? Are they fighting over the most popular dessert? No way! ……………. Right?

My Captivating Archenemy Part 1 (Kagari)

Alt Title: The One I Can't Stop Thinking About Is My Archenemy/He Who Caught My Heart Is My Nemesis

Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors and inaccuracies.

Sunlight poured into the bookstore as a familiar, adorable visitor trotted in.

Black Cat: "Meow."

Emma: "Oh, hey. Back again, huh?"

When I crouched down to greet it, the black cat—as always—turned its back to me.

I didn't even need to check to know what was tucked into that tiny backpack it carried.

Emma: "I appreciate the delivery, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the right place."

Black Cat: "Meow!"

Emma: "Ahh, sorry, sorry! I'll take it right away!"

Spurred on by its insistent meowing, I quickly pulled out the message card.

It was yet another calling card from the phantom thief who's been making waves around town.

(This time, he's targeting a brooch.)

Kagari: "Princess."

Emma: "Kyaah!"

A soft, fleeting scent drifted past me just as Kagari suddenly appeared behind me.

(He always shows up out of nowhere. I swear he does it on purpose.)

I clutched my chest, trying to calm my pounding heart.

Emma: "Afternoon, Kagari."

Kagari: "Hello. So, did the calling card show up?"

Emma: "Yes. Looks like he's planning to hit the marquis’ estate tomorrow."

(Still, why does the phantom thief always send these to me?)

(Judging by the cat's behavior, it's not like they got the address wrong.)

(Maybe the thief just likes being chased?)

Kagari: "Your detective work is as busy as ever, I see."

Emma: "Well, the bookshop's doing okay too, you know?"

(We've even got a few royal court clients—so, not too shabby.)

Kagari: "Okay, huh? I guess everyone's got their own definition of that."

His green eyes slowly scanned the empty shop.

(Ugh, he's really not cutting me any slack.)

Kagari: "Anyway, you haven't forgotten why I'm here, have you?"

Emma: "Of course not. You said you'd swing by today to try the dorayaki."

Kagari: "Good job, princess. Let's go."

Emma: "W-Wait! Can we at least drop this off with the patrol guards first?!"

After somehow managing to deliver the card, Kagari took me to his shop and treated me to a dorayaki so amazing it was hard to believe it was just a test batch.

(Honestly, it tasted good enough to sell in stores.)

Across from me, Kagari took a sip of green tea, then tilted his head like he'd just remembered something.

Kagari: "Are you going to meet the phantom thief again tonight?"

Emma: "I'm going to catch him."

Emma: "Also, the patrol officers asked me to."

Even if they hadn't asked, I still would've had to go.

Kagari: "I see. That's good."

(Why did he suddenly seem kinda happy?)

(Did he just want the thief to be caught quickly?)

(The thief…)

Emma: "I wonder what kind of person he really is."

Kagari: "Probably someone who likes dorayaki."

Emma: "Hehe. If that's true, maybe you two could get along."

The image that popped into my head was the silhouette I'd seen so many times before—swift, fading into the shadows, never letting anyone get a clear look.

Emma: "There's no pattern to what he steals, and nothing's shown up on the market either."

Emma: "The only common thread is that his targets all seem to have shady rumors trailing behind them."

Kagari: "I can see why the phantom thief has so many supporters."

(I know stealing is wrong, but somehow, I can't think of the thief as a villain.)

Kagari: "By the way, I find it surprising that you always show up at the scene as soon as you get a card—even when no one asks you to."

Emma: "It's personal. I've got a reason for chasing him."

Kagari: "This is the first I've heard of it."

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed both my wrists across the table.

(He's gripping them so tightly—I can't even move.)

Kagari: "What's your reason for chasing him? Tell me."

The heat of his hands and the intensity of his gaze made my heart race.

Emma: "That's a secret… but there's something I do want to say to him."

(It's something personal—I doubt the phantom thief even remembers.)

(Still, it's strange for Kagari to be this curious.)

(That's weird—the window's open, but it's starting to get hot in here.)

Kagari: "Something you want to say?"

Kagari: "Princess, don't tell me—you've got a thing for the thief? Are you going to confess to him...?"

Emma: "No! I'm not!"

Kagari: "Really, really not?"

Emma: "Really, really not."

Kagari: "Really, really, really not?"

Emma: "Really, really, really not. I would never lie to you."

Kagari: "Good. That's all I needed to hear."

His grip loosened just a little, but he was still holding my hands.

Instead of feeling relieved, I felt this warm, fluttery feeling bubbling up in my chest.

(I'm glad he believes me, but now I'm thinking weird stuff.)

Kagari: "Losing a dorayaki buddy would be a serious tragedy for me."

(Wait—that's what he was worried about!?)

His reason—so perfectly him—made me smile.

But deep down, I felt the faintest pang of disappointment.

I quickly pushed the thought away.

Kagari: "………"

Emma: "Kagari?"

Kagari: "It's nothing."

Kagari: "I hope you manage to get your message to the phantom thief."

Emma: "Yeah! I'm gonna do my best!"

With Kagari cheering me on, I threw myself even harder into catching the thief.

From then on, every time a new warning card arrived, I rushed straight to the scene.

Soldier: "The brooch is gone!"

Emma: "But we blocked every exit!"

......

Thief: "Maybe you'd have better luck chasing me in a carriage?"

(He's so fast! He's already that far ahead!)

......

Thief: "I'm taking this with me."

Emma: "Wait!"

.......

Thief: "........."

(There's no way I can catch him. He's way too fast.)

His figure grew smaller and smaller as he disappeared into the distance.

Still, I pushed myself to run harder.

Lately, the thief's escape speed had become insanely fast.

No matter how much we tightened security, he always slipped right through.

(I could tell from the get-go he was just messing with me.)

I remembered how he'd stop like a cat, glance back, and smirk—like this whole chase was a game to him.

(It's weird. I'm a detective, but instead of getting frustrated, I just feel kinda lonely.)

Emma: "-----!"

(Crap!)

I tripped over a dip in the ground and went flying forward.

I tried to catch myself, but I couldn't stop the momentum.

Just as I braced for impact—

Emma: "Ah!"

Thief: "Clumsy little detective, aren't you?"

I found myself in the thief's arms.

(He came all the way back to catch me?)

(No, wait.)

Confused, I tried to look up to see his face.

But before I could, something blocked my view—and I felt warm breath against my neck.

Thief: "Your stubbornness deserves full marks."

Emma: "!?"

A sharp little pain pricked my neck, making my whole body shudder.

(Did he just bite me?!)

Before I could even try to break free, he let go, gave a playful wave from a distance, and then melted into the shadows.

(He got away again.)

(.........)

I didn't feel disappointed.

More than anything, my mind was overwhelmed by one thought—

(That just now…)
