— Would people say it’s foolish to chase a promise that won’t come true?

Poorly Dressed Man: Jude Jazza! It’s all - it’s all your fault!

Jude: I ain’t the one who broke the contract.

Jude: If ya wanna file a lawsuit yer sure to lose, ‘n starve to death, then be my guest.

Poorly Dressed Man: You demon! Die!

Jude: Ellis.

Ellis: Yep.

Poorly Dressed Man: Gah!

— Would people call following a twisted sense of justice evil?

Jude: …Ha. The full moon’s annoyin’.

The person with amethyst eyes listlessly lit a cigarette.

The white smoke that rose in the pitch black darkness turned the glittering moon grey.

Ellis: Jude, it’s done.

Jude: Fine. Then let’s get outta here ‘fore things get messy.

A week has passed since I’ve become fairytale keeper.

Guests from Germany called Vogel have arrived, and I’ve been accompanying the others on dangerous missions,

In these hectic days, there are many things that bother me.

However, the thing that bothers me the most is —

Kate: Jude, please take me with you on the mission today!

Jude: Ha. Make an appointment. Business hours are over, so scram.

He looked very unhappy while he glared at me disdainfully.

(But…I can’t back down here.)

Kate: For the past week, I’ve accompanied everyone on missions as fairytale keeper.

Kate: Only you and Ellis are the ones left.

Jude: Don’t care ‘bout yer problems.

Kate: Ughh….

Ellis: Is it okay if I go with Kate?

Ellis kindly soothed my heart that was gouged out by Jude.

However -

Jude: Y'shuddup.

(Haaa, it’s hopeless. What should I do….)

(If I can’t do it by asking directly, then I can follow them without permission, or ask for help…)

The moment I was lost in thought —

Victor: Today, I see Jude is walking about as the human form of cruelty and ruthlessness as well.

The “help” I wished for arrived with beautiful long hair, and in a cheerful mood.

Victor: Don’t be so cold, and take care of Kate.

Victor: The fairytale keeper is an honorable position that Her Majesty recognizes.

Jude: I don’t understand what yer sayin’, ‘n I don’t like it.

Jude: What’s that woman thinkin’, lettin’ ya abuse her power ‘n capture a commoner.

(…..Commoner.)

Jude: Tch….revoltin’.

Jude: Let’s go, Ellis.

Ellis: Sorry, Kate. See you later.

Kate: Yeah….

I gave a small wave to Ellis who looked back with concern as he left.

(I’ve had quite a few bad experiences in my life.)

But this was the first time I’ve been met with such intense hatred for no reason.

To be honest…it’s not a good feeling.

He’s really a “jerk” with a rotten attitude —that was my first impression of him.

But I soon realized as I lived at Crown Castle, that he was like that with everyone.

[Shows different scenes of Jude's attitude.]

Jude: All Crown members on a urgent mission ordered by that Queenie?

Jude: Don’t need my help. Do whatever ya want.

Jude: Get together with Vogel? Ain’t nothin’ in it for me.

Jude: I ain’t goin’ to that thing.

Jude: Fairytale keeper? Thought ya scampered back home already. Dunno though.

[Examples scenes end]

Kate: Jude Jazza’s report…..

Victor: You’ve brought the weekly report, thank you.

Victor: Jude Jazza. He is very arrogant, ruthless, and intolerable……

Just as he was speaking, I snatched the report back from him.

Kate: There’s no way I can present a report full of insults to her Majesty!

…A few days later.

Harrison: Yeah, I got it from Victor.

In the note Harrison gave me —

The Pub near St. James’s Park, 10:00 p.m.

(This is!)

Harrison: Tonight Jude and Ellis are on a mission to bust a gang selling illegal drugs.

Apparently Victor couldn’t just watch things silently, and arranged for me to join the two on their mission.

Kate: Thanks for the note, Harrison.

(The pub, tonight at 10…that means)

When I looked at the clock, there was only an hour left.

Kate: I’ve got to hurry! I’m off.

Harrison: Ah, oi…..Roger’ll go with you, so meet up with him!

Harrison: ….I don’t think that guy’s going to be easy to deal with.

Just before I ran out of the room, I heard Harrison’s murmuring….Perhaps, he was predicting what would happen tonight.

When I arrived at the location precisely on time — the entire mission had been completed.

(Maybe….no, not maybe)

Roger: Hahaha, Jude took you for a ride didn’t lil’ lady?

Kate: ……

His cheerful and merciless voice, unlike Jude’s pierced my heart.

Ellis: Oh, Kate. And Roger too.

(Since Ellis returned to the pub, does that mean Jude’s returned too?)

I leaned forward a bit to see if Jude was there.

(Hm…he’s not here?)

Kate: Ellis, where’s Jude?

Ellis: Smoking probably.

I went to the back of the pub, and found Jude sitting on the stairs smoking.

Kate: …You lied and gave the wrong time.

Jude: Can ya stop makin’ false accusations?

Kate: False accusations?

Jude: Didn’t say it would “start” at 10:00 p.m. It’s yer fault for not confirmin’ ‘forehand.

[All options are +4/+4] - “Option 1: It was my mistake.”

Kate: That’s….definitely my mistake for not confirming.

I was the who assumed the time written on the note was the start time.

Jude: Hmm, so ya got ‘nough brains to honestly fess up when yer wrong. That’s great.

(What Jude is saying is probably right….But..)

Kate: Why would you intentionally do something that would make someone hate you?

Jude: Is there somethin’ to gain by bein’ liked by ya?

White smoke flows from his cruel smile.

Kate: So it’s okay to be hated by others so long as there’s no benefit for you?

Jude: Are ya a fool who wants to be liked by everyone?

Kate: But, there’s nothing wrong with being like, is there?

Jude: Sickenin’. I hate it when people say - “Let’s all be friendly.”

(No matter what I say, it’s a deadlock….)

I’ve tried to meet him halfway so many times.

But each time he’s treated me coldly, and it’s made me really angry.

— That’s why I said this.

Kate: If that’s what you say, then I’ll make you understand.

Words you should absolutely never say to him….

Jude: ….Hah?

White smoke swirls up from his cranky lips like a coiling serpent.

Jude: Whaddya gonna make me understand?

When I heard his rough voice from his thin lips, I realized that I touched a nerve.

But I can’t take back what I’ve said — So, I should just say what I feel.

I glared at Jude on the other side of the white smoke, trying not to be overwhelmed by his powerful gaze.

Kate: By the time I finish being the fairytale keeper, I will find something to like about you.

Jude: Hah?

Kate: I can’t find anything at the moment….but I don’t think it’s bad to be liked regardless if there’s gain or not.

Jude: ………..

Kate: I promise you.

When I nodded, Jude’s lips twisted into an exasperated smile.

Jude: ….Idiot. Are ya insane?

Jude: If ya find somethin’ like that, I’ll listen to any one thing ya say.

(Those words just now…! Can I take them as an agreement?)

Kate: Deal, I’m looking forward to it!

Kate: Oh, and I don’t intend to leave your side until I’ve fulfilled my promise, no matter how many times you push me away.

Jude: Ha. Fine, if ya say so, then do as ya please.

After a long battle, I finally got him to say those words.

Kate: Yep, I’ll do as I please!

I fanned away the cigarette smoke that separated us, and took a step closer to him….

Jude scoffs while letting out a thick puff of smoke.

Jude: Just remember one thing princess….My “promises” don’t come cheap.

Jude: If ya break yer promise, I’ll show ya a hell that’ll make ya think ya were better off dead.

Amidst the elegant scent of sandalwood, which was far from his image, and the sweet, burning scent of tobacco —

Jude and I made our first promise.

[Transitions to the Palace]

Darius: Jude Jazza, huh. - Hm, Nica.

“Vogel” - an organization under the direct command of the German Emperor.

It’s Director, Darius Vogel, smiled gracefully.

Nica: You want me to look into him, right. That’s fine, I’m personally interested in him.

Nica: …So I hope I can gather some interesting information on him.

The following day I was called to Victor’s office.

Victor: Jude, Ellis, and Kate, thank you for your hard work last night.

Victor: Now then, Kate I’ve heard that you’re going to be Jude’s exclusive fairytale keeper going forward?

(Huh?)

Jude: Why’a lookin’ confused, yer the one who suggested it.

(That’s….)

[Flash back begins]

Kate: By the time I finish being the fairytale keeper, I will find something to like about you.

Jude: If ya find somethin’ like that, then I’ll listen to any one thing ya say.

[Flash back ends]

(Maybe that’s it?)

Jude: A one-sided termination of the contract’s invalid. Don’t go back on yer word, people-pleaser.

Kate: I wouldn’t go back on my word, even if you didn’t tell me to.

Victor: Jude truly is an arrogant, insincere, and narrow-minded man, but he never breaks his promises.

Victor: Hence, he demands the same of others, or else they’re met with fierce retaliation.

As Victor’s cheerful voice rang out, Jude and I stopped glaring at each other.

Kate: That means….

Victor: Now that this has happened, there’s no escape for you, is there?

Jude Jazza, his curse is the 13th fairy from Sleeping Beauty.

Twelve fairies were called to the castle for a banquet of the the newborn princess.

Each of the fairies blessed the lovely princess….

— However, the 13th fairy was not invited to the castle, and it cast a curse on the princess out of resentment.

(I’m sure that’s how the tale goes…)

Kate: ….Is this person vindictive because of his curse, or simply because of his mean personality?

Victor: Hmm, that’s a mystery buried deep beneath the sea —

Jude: Don’t care if it’s some curse or not.

Ellis: Will you sign it? Or…

Jude: Signin’ with yer blood’s fine.

As if to prove his rotten personality, Jude smiled sarcastically….

Kate: I’ll sign anything!

I reflexively responded to his provocation, and ran the pen across the paper.

Within seconds of signing, Jude tucked it in his breast pocket.

Jude: Thanks. Let’s be friends from now on, eh princess?

A cruel person who delights in the misfortunes of others.

(There’s no way I’ll ever fall in love with someone like that.)

(But, if I don’t fulfill my promise, then I’m in breach of the contract….)

— I’ll end up as his prey.

just Jude talking with a baby cat to make your day better

[shatcey]

I'm so ecstatic! (7ch Jude's route)

It was a very strong chapter. There was a lot of new information and details that we could noticed in the events. In order not to spoil your fun, I'll tell you only about two.

When they mentioned "memorised the book", I… almost cried. I knew it! I knew it was something personal for him! This reminds me once again how much more information you can learn from bitter endings. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you probably haven't read Liner event, Jude's bitter ending.

And right after that...

Kate told us Jude's age. Just like that! No need to make any assumptions, no need to calculate anything. Thank you!!! I'm a little surprised that Jude is younger than Elbie and Ally, but okay…

I already like this route much more than Roger's. They gave me a number! I'm so simple, I don't need much to feel happy.

[moonlit-tia]

do not tempt me, Mr. Jazza ✋️

[cosmowgyral]

There's a Youtube Live with Jude and Ellis' VAs this Saturday in regards to iirc the first anniversary of IkeVil.

Think there's a chance they'll make an announcement of Jude's route? Specially since his VA is the MC? 👀

CW: Violence, Blood, Man-handling (For a reason)

Jude: Doesn’t the contract state “human-traffickin’s” prohibited?

(Human-trafficking….?)

Nobleman: W-well, I would never do such a thing……

The flustered man seems to come from a prominent background, is cultured, and has a gentle smile.

There isn’t a single trace of him that hints at him being the “root of evil behind the circulation of the illegal drugs.”

For a moment, I was suspicious of this being misinformation. However…..

Jude: Got evidence. So, I don’t wanna hear yer filthy lies.

Jude looked down on the man with an icy stare.

Jude: ….Six shots.

Nobleman: ….Six shots?

Jude: ‘Course, ain’t no way ya remember. It’s the number of people ya sold off.

Jude: Six shots - Payin’ ya back, one shot each.

Nobleman: W-wait a minute, what…

(……!) ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Jude kicked the man in his jaw with all his might.

Nobleman: Ugh…..

And with the sound of breaking bones, the man fell from his seat to the floor writhing in pain.

A large amount of blood gushed from his mouth.

Jude’s shoes echoed as he approached the man.

Jude: That’s just the first shot, ‘n yet yer already losin’ yer spirit. C’mon, get up.

Nobleman: Hic…Wait, Jude….listen to me….— Gaahh

As he staggered up on his feet in order to flee, he was struck with a second kick.

Teeth flew into the air and blood spattered onto the ceiling.

Nobleman: S-stop already…Keugh.

Jude: ‘Though yer shriekin’ with that foul voice, I can’t hear ya.

Jude: Lookie here, four shots left.

(……) (ó﹏ò｡)

I wonder which bone will be broken now.

Just how many times will this ruthless sound make me want to cover my ears.

Jude: ….Three shots t’go.

Jude slowly lifted his foot making a show of his fearsomeness.

Nobleman: H-hic…hi-sto..p….

The man begs inaudibly, drenched in blood, tears, and urine.

体液 “Taeiki” Literally means “Body Fluids”. The line literally translates to, "The man begs inaudibly, drenched in blood, tears, and bodily fluids." …..I’m pretty sure the pos pissed himself, so I opted to change it.

Jude: Sure, I’ll stop

Jude: —Ain’t no way I’d say somethin’ like that.

The instant his foot raised high, I couldn’t stand it anymore….

Kate: Please, just stop already….!

Jude: Hah?

Without thinking, I lurched toward Jude’s arm.

Jude: ….Yer in the way.

Kate: I don’t like this…..

I clung to his arm desperately shaking my head.

Jude: Such a hassle.

With me still clutching his arm, Jude swung his leg down at the man’s head as he crawled on the floor.

Jude: Tch, I barely grazed him. Doesn’t count.

Jude: ‘N he’s ‘bout near passed out from fear. Ain’t no fun.

I slowly lowered my gaze to the man lying in a pool of blood.

(This person is capable of doing this much on their own. It’s not wrong.)

(But….)

Revenge for revenge.

A chain of hatred.

It’s never ending.

Kate: If you do something like this, won’t they try to kill you again out of revenge?

Jude: So what?

My heart filled with blend of anger and sadness at his seemingly uncaring attitude.

Kate: You intentionally make enemies, gain grudges, and put yourself in dangerous situations….!

Kate: You……don’t you realize you’re going to die?

(If this keeps up, I’m sure someday)

Jude: Huh? If I kick the bucket from earnin’ some grudges, it ain’t got nothin’ to do with ya.

Jude: Don’t need ya stickin’ yer nose in with yer feel good sense of justice, idiot.

Kate: …….

He shook his arm free from my grasp.

The warmth that was the only proof that he was a human being…..vanished.

With the loss of his warmth, I just stood there helpless and shocked as I watched the violence unfold.

Jude: Losin’ yer fire, lookit. There’s two more shots t’go, misssster.

Nobleman: Gah……ugh…..

Now that Jude’s escaped my grasp, there’s no stopping him.

A glass of water was poured onto the unconscious man’s head……

Jude: Hey, now that’cha came to. I’m gonna thoroughly enjoy messin’ with ya.

Moonlight poured into the window, illuminating the blood-soaked Jude.

(….Why)

He was laughing with so much joy, in the endless cycle of revenge.

(My heart…… hurts so so much—)

While I listened to the creaking deep in my chest, the door busted open.

Kate: ….!!

The ones who abruptly crashed into the room were the mansion’s guards.

Ellis: Jude, looks like we got caught.

Jude: Haah, we were too slow.

Guard: We won’t let you bastards live!

貴様等っ “Kisamatō” up until 1945 this was used by the Japanese military to address one another respectfully. Nowadays, it’s considered a rude and derogatory way of addressing someone. It can mean ?you, bastard, or son of a bitch".

When the guards saw their employer collapsed on the floor, their faces turned fuming red.

Ellis: They look angry.

Jude: Let’s kick their arses ‘n get outta here.

And just like that, a huge brawl started.

Guard: Got y…..—

Dodging the hand trying to grab him, Jude poked the man’s forehead with his fingertip.

— The guardsman collapsed on the spot like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

(…..Is he dead….no, sleeping?)

Promptly looking up at Jude, he jabbed the each of the guards in their foreheads as they came at him,

They all fell asleep without exception.

(This….is Jude’s cursed ability.)

Ellis: Kate, watch out!

Kate: Huh?

Unaware of the presence approaching me from behind, there was the sound of a baton swinging down above my head.

(……) (｡>﹏<)

I immediately covered my head, and a few seconds later, something fell to the floor with a thud.

Jude: Dimwit. Didja really learn self-defense?

Looking over, the man who going to attack me was put to sleep by Jude.

I stared at him stunned and speechless…..

Jude: If that’s all ya can do, then do yer best to stay outta my way, yeah?

Jude glanced at me and then back in the middle of the fight.

(It’s just as Jude said….in this situation, my presence is just getting in the way of them both.)

The self-defense skills I learned from Ellis, and the gun I wear are all meaningless.

(I’m useless this way)

On top of that, my body was so frozen from fear, that I couldn’t move….

(Wh….what was that noise?)

The crackling sound of a fire was coming from somewhere.

Jude: Tch, plannin’ to burn the place to ground ‘n destroy the evidence.

Following his words, Jude grabbed me by the scruff of my neck —

[Screen Jolt]

Kate: Kyaaa…..

He threw me out of the window with all his strength.

I tumbled onto the lawn over and over again, until I finally came to a stop.

Kate: Ouuuch…..

Grimacing, I looked up and there was Jude, on the other side of the window frame looking down at me.

Jude: Yer a nuisance. Even a naive princess could get that through her thick skull.

My shoulders shivered at the terrifying look in his eyes.

His amethyst eyes were tainted with the victim’s blood,

The cold, bluish-purple was worn out by the vivid, trickling red.

Jude: While ya were “lookin’ for something to like,” somethin’ popped into my head

Jude: —Yer gonna die.

Kate: …..

[Flashback]

Kate: You intentionally make enemies, gain grudges, and put yourself in dangerous situations….!

Kate: You……don’t you realize you’re going to die?

[Flashback Ends]

I bit my lip as the exact words I said were thrown back at me.

Jude: Can’t even respond. Such a useless woman.

Jude: Don’t ever show yerself in front of me again, got that?

(Don’t come around anymore….?)

I’m more than painfully aware that I’m useless, all of the insults he’s showered me with have already torn my heart up like a tattered rag.

(But….)

Kate: I can’t do that, I’m the fairytale keeper —

(I can’t give in yet….)

I scraped together what little stubbornness I had left and stared at Jude, when all that stubbornness got crushed.

Jude: Shut yer mouth, commoner.

Jude: T’night ya got trapped in the fire ‘n died all miserable like.

Jude: Dont’cha understand what I’m sayin’?

Jude: Pointless righteousness ‘n pretty words. I’ve learned through a shitload of lessons that it’s useless.

Jude: Well, I’m off.

Jude’s figure on the other side of the window disappeared within the smoke and flickering flames.

Dumfounded, I listen to the brawl pick up once again along with the fiery crackles.

(….Should I help?)

(No, I shouldn’t…..)

From the start Jude’s thought of me as an annoying burden, and he was always trying to get rid of me.

(…He’s been waiting this whole time for me to throw in the towel.)

(But even if I say that, it’s pointless.)

Tonight, I’m definitely nothing more than extra baggage.

I should just quietly disappear like he said…..

(Tonight I’ll die in this fire)

Kate: …..This might be for the best.

I shakily rise up.

My entire body hurt from be thrown around.

(Even if I run away like this…..it’s fine.)

— But what really hurts is my heart.

Kate: ……..

My heart felt eaten away by a sense of helplessness….but…

What welled up inside my heart more than that was frustration.

Kate: Arrghh….

I start pounding my fist into the ground,

So many times that I made a hole in the grass.

Kate: …..There’s no way I can back down here.

During the fight, I wasn’t able to pick up a weapon, but my dirt-covered hands feel like they can move a bit now.

(I’m positive there’s something that I can do—)

I pulled myself together and ran from there.

[Transitions To Different Area of the Mansion]

— Two shadows illuminated by the fire, jumped out of the blazing mansion.

Ellis: Jude. What should we do with the people passed out in the mansion’s garden?

Jude: If they’re condemned it don’t matter what we do with ‘em. That crank of a queen’s aide said so.

Jude: Toss ‘em all in the lab.

Ellis: On it.

As Ellis walked away, the sound of sirens hit my ears.

The distant echoes were heading towards the mansion.

Jude: ………….

Kate: Jude.

Jude looked up at the sound of the voice.

The second he caught sight of Kate, he scowled as he usually did when he spotted her.

Jude: What’re ya doin’. Thought’cha were dead?

If you wish to be added (+18 YO), or removed from my translations tag list, please let me know!

My thoughts: So, I think if I have any qualms about Jude's route it's where Kate tells him that she doesn't like what he's doing. It...irritated me a bit, not because she was afraid of the situation, but because she when through hell to get Jude to let her tag along with him, and then she was um, no. Wdym, no? Girly pop you asked to stick with him. But, I think this scene is also important because it does touch on her naiveté a bit. So, short-lived frustration.

I really love chapter 4 because it's very reminiscent of little Jude in his Past Records, where his heart hurts, and he has this moment where it shatters to pieces when his curse manifests. Kate's heart is in pain too and when she picks herself up she gives into her frustration and beats the ground with her fist. That and the fact that she yells just feels like it mirrors Jude's "rebirth" so to speak when his curse manifests. I feel like this is where she's reborn too, and idk, I love it!

pro tip if you hear Jude say the word “owe” you better 🚪🏃💨

bonus:

“what are ya, my mother-in-law?” -Jude Jazza 2024 😭😭 I mean, is Ellis wrong..

[theimaginativelyreticent]

Jude, you just took the words from my mouth 👍*

*Jude about Alfons:

I like this duo. Jude being mean (but is actually a softy *my own observation based on his event stories*) and Ellis being nice (but has hidden evilness within).

[kibby-reaper]

elbie is... a frail victorian child

[mkmas]

yk what jude’s va said in an interview that i cant stop thinking about

apparently there’s a jude line where he says “if you ever run away, k*ll me and go. if i live, i wont let you go until you’re broken” 🫠 his va is so right for saying that it highlights how jude would devote his whole life into it (probably love with mc?) and how the only way to stop him is death.

ig that’s why im drawn to characters like him. mean jerks but when it comes down to it, yk for sure they’ll love hard with no bs.

**idk where that line is from or if it’s from a bond story cos i haven’t unlocked it all yet. imagine if it’s for his future pv JDNDJDJDBNANA

[romance-rambles]

i feel like just based off of what i've seen so far (mostly EN, some JP, so correct me if i'm wrong), if jude and kate met as kids, he would pull on her pigtails exactly once (1), and regardless of whether she cried or pushed him into the dirt, she'd still come out of the ordeal as the victor cause he's actually a softie.

and he'd spend the twenty or so years scaring away her potential suitors because he's actually secretly in love with her and thinks her taste in men is shitty (case in point: himself), while she'd spend that time semi-successfully seducing him away from other women because she's openly in love with him (even she knows that he knows) and has a tendency to accept scraps instead of the real thing. the only difference is whether kate is combative or not so it is also whether it's friends to lovers or rivals to lovers.

they'd need couples' therapy regardless i think
