(Overflowing Cynicism) Figaro SR Card Story Translation

A thanks to ninenseiace on twitter for the raws

A candy suitable to him - chapter 1

Figaro: All these dishes taste great. Many of them are delicacies, but they go well with alcohol. 

Rustica: I couldn't agree more, not only do they taste delicious, but their presentation is excellent too. Each dessert is like a jewel.

Rustica: Look at this candy in the glass for example, it's like an emerald.

Figaro: Ah, this candy…… How rare, this is a medical candy from the northern country.

Figaro: I remember trying it a while ago, when I was researching medical plants. This brings back memories. 

Rustica: Oh my, so it's a sweet from the northern country. No wonder, I did think it was a sweet I had never seen before.

Rustica: But Doctor Figaro, you are from the southern country so how come you have come across a northern country candy? When they are on the opposite sides of the continent…

Figaro: Aah, umm, a northern acquaintance gave it to me. I have a lot of acquaintances, You know.

Rustica: I see, to be given such a rare and beautiful candy is a testament to Doctor Figaro's good character. 

Rustica: By the way, what does this candy taste like? Will it suit my palate?

Figaro: It was pretty tasty. The bitter taste of the herbs was strangely addictive. It might not be for everyone though.

Rustica: In that case, I'll have to try it to see if it's for me. Let's have one.

Figaro: Haha, western wizards sure are a curious bunch. I might as well have one too.

Figaro: …Yup, now that's what I'm talking about. You can't tell if it's sweet or bitter, and it has a grassy smell like a leaf stuck in your mouth...

Figaro: It's been a while since I had it, but it's still as strangely addictive as ever. How about you, Rustica? Did you like it?

Rustica: ………

A candy suitable to him - chapter  2 

Rustica: ……..

Figaro: Rustica? You're standing there with a frozen smile, what's wrong...? Ah!

Figaro: It didn't suit your palate right? That's why you're frozen?

Rustica: ……

Figaro: Well, in that case, crunch the candy, and after that, swallow it with this hot chocolate. I think it will mask the strong taste and aftertaste.

Rustica: …..... Gulp…..

Rustica: Whew... Thank you for the candy. I've been able to experience a thrill I've never felt before.

Figaro: Glad you were able to swallow it. I never imagined you'd be so surprised that you'd freeze up.

Rustica: I feel the same way. When I eat that candy, I freeze up… I'm glad I discovered a new side of myself.

Rustica: But perhaps someone as young as Doctor Figaro can enjoy this thrilling flavor without freezing up.

Figaro: Young as me, huh...

Rustica: Oh! I have an idea! Why don't you take this candy as a souvenir for Rutile? At his young age, it might suit his taste.

Figaro: Ummm, nah, I'll pass. I'll just have one more piece instead.

Figaro: (Hmm, is it really bitter enough to freeze up...? It still tastes great to me…)

Figaro: Is this the ‘generation gap’ that the previous Master Sage talked about…….

What do you think about the bitter taste? - Card Episode 

Figaro: You seemed to be having a very fun conversation about sweets with Mitile earlier. Were you talking about Mia's castle from the other day?

Akira: Yes. That castle had not only sweet, but also a variety of unusual candies with unique flavors, and we were talking about how we were surprised.

Akira: What was especially memorable was the green candy that tasted a bit like medicine...

Figaro: Oh, the candy in the glass? Master Sage you also ate some. How was it?

Akira: Let's see. At first, I was a bit surprised by the unique flavor… The old cat lady… it tasted a bit like the candy that someone who looked after me in my original world gave me, so I quite liked them.

Figaro: Huh? You liked them?

Akira: What, Is that something to be surprised about? Did you perhaps not like them, Figaro...?

Figaro: No, no, sorry. I like them too.

Figaro: But I didn't think it was a flavor that young people like Master Sage would like, so it was a bit surprising.

Akira: Now that you mention it, it's true... It has a more mature feel, so maybe it's a flavor that old men and women would like?

Figaro: A flavor that old men and women would like...

Akira: Y-Yes. Um, you have a complicated look on your face...

Figaro: No no, I don't have any look like that. I look the same as always, a lively 32-year-old who's in the spotlight right now.

Figaro: Leaving any opinions aside…. I am glad Master Sage liked it.

Homescreen voiceline 

Master Sage, where are you heading to? ……To hand out chocolate to Bradley? Hmmm I don't really recommend that. It's not like I don't understand being attracted to bad guys like that, but if you're going for a bad guy, then it's way better to go with the calm and tolerant Doctor Figaro, you know?

[Someday, in the Kitchen Where Echoes Smile] Chapter 8 Translation

RIQUET: Ouch! Oh, no… Oh, no no! No!

NERO: I know it burns, but I need you to tough it out for a bit.

As Riquet was about to back away in a panic, Nero gently pressed a hand on his back to keep him in place. Then, he stood behind Riquet and reached over for his hand; their positioning reminded me a bit of a Helping Hands skit.

NERO: The schnitzel will turn out deformed if you don���t press down on it now. So what you wanna do is hold your spatula and keep pressing firmly…

RIQUET: Owwie… Did I get it right?

NERO: Could use a bit more pressure there. Like this.

RIQUET: Firmly…

NERO: Good going. Keep it up until it turns golden brown.

RIQUET: Will do!

NERO: What about you, Sage? How’s your frying coming along?

AKIRA: I was just about to get started. Here goes…

(Y-Yikes… It takes nerves of steel to press this down without hesitation…)

NERO: Let me guide you through the first step like I did with Riquet.

He circled behind me just as I was feeling disheartened. Then, he placed his strong, sinewy hand on mine that was holding the spatula.

Nero hardly makes a habit of wearing perfume, but I noticed he smelled faintly like a late autumn evening–serene and abundant, yet somewhat despondent. It’s that transition phase to winter when the final harvest has long passed and dormancy has set in.

NERO: You cook every now and then, so I’m sure you’re aware that thin slices of meat are prone to shrinking when cooked, yeah?

This step is to prevent that from happening. Press down on the meat as if to cheer on it, like, “Don’t shrink on me!” Get what I’m saying?

AKIRA: Haha! Yes, your example was very easy to understand. How’s this?

NERO: Yep, nailed it. You’re good at this, Sage.

Nero’s chuckle tousles my hair ever so gently. His hand, the one demonstrating how to press down the schnitzel, exuded warmth.

AKIRA: (…Oh, another echo…)

Past Nero’s wispy, translucent figure appeared right next to me. Like us, he was also frying schnitzel.

Nero said nothing and continued to hold my hand. I tried to focus all my attention on the task, but I still caught something in my peripheral vision.

It didn’t take long for echoes of the past to fill the restaurant, appearing and disappearing in turns. Among them were a customer reading a book; a party engaged in a conversation; as well as a kid swinging their legs while sitting.

Each set of eyes kept peering expectantly into the kitchen where the owner, Nero, was frying his specialty dish. Commitment and enjoyment were reflected in his craft in equal measure.

What I witnessed were scenes from a past now broken and lost–oh, such precious bygone days.

LENNOX: Nero, could you come here for a second?

NERO: Be right there with you. …All right, Sage, call me if you need me.

Nero gave my hand a quick squeeze before he went his way. I felt his warmth drain from my skin, replaced by a growing alienating coldness.

Watching him walk away without so much as looking back made me want to say something. Except, I’m still struggling to find the right words even as I stood next to his past self, cooking earnestly and eagerly for his customers.

SNOW: Voila~! Our feast is ready!

RIQUET & RUSTICA: Hurray! Let’s give ourselves a round of applause!

The table was lined with not-so-perfect yet mouthwatering dishes: servings of salad with teeny tiny lettuce pieces; bowls of rich and creamy soup with a spicy aroma; plates of glossy, golden apple pie; and lastly, portions of steaming hot schnitzel.

CAIN: Boy, does it smell heavenly!

LENNOX: I second that. And we actually made the soup and salad work.

SNOW: Well, what are we waiting for? I say it’s time for a taste test!

Nero, come join us at the table.

RIQUET: You’re not cleaning up over there, are you? Please leave that for us to do later.

NERO: Yeah, no, I just wanna make sure the leftover soup stays warm. I won’t take long, so you guys go ahead and start.

SNOW: Are you sure? Well, don’t mind if we do…

ALL: Let's dig in!

LENNOX: You can really taste the spices in the Late Winter Soup a La Brute Force; it’s delicious.

FIGARO: If you told me this has chocolate fudge and goopy matter in it, I wouldn’t believe you.

SNOW: Yum~! …Oh! I spy a cutie carrot. I’ll share this one with you, Lennox.

LENNOX: Are you sure, Master Snow?

SNOW: You bet. Why don’t I let you in on a secret: It was Figaro who served our portions of soup and I believe he put almost every piece in my bowl. Despite his nagging earlier, he’s always been a thoughtful soul.

FIGARO: That wasn’t my intention at all…

SNOW: Hohoho! Figaro, here, you earned yourself some cutie carrots as well.

FIGARO: Thanks…

LENNOX: Haha. Good for you, Dr. Figaro.

MITHRA: *nom nom* *crunch crunch*

CAIN: Mm! Now that’s the stuff! Not bad at all considering my schnitzel is slightly charred.

MITHRA: Mine’s not. I bet you’re envious.

RUSTICA: Neither is mine; Nero made our portions, after all.

CAIN: You guys didn’t fry schnitzels or bake an apple pie, right? Instead, you prepared the lettuce for our salad.

So... Is there a reason you chose to finely chop these?

MITHRA: Ask Nero. He’s the one who told us to.

RUSTICA: I must correct you there, Cain. Each piece was hand-torn as small as possible, not chopped. With love and care, if I might add.

CAIN: Uh-huh…?

MITHRA: Nero said this was the first time he’s ever seen lettuce so ultra-fine in a salad. So you better savor it.

RIQUET: Mm-mm! This apple pie turned out delicious!

AKIRA: A huge success for us! We couldn't have done it without your diligent double-checking of the measurements and steps.

RIQUET: Hehe... This is something I’m proud to serve Prince Arthur and Oz.

Nero, come join us already! Eat while it’s hot!

NERO: I hear ya. Give me a sec…

RIQUET: *pout*

AKIRA: Haha. How about I bring him a slice of apple pie instead?

RIQUET: Oohh, great idea! Please do, Master Sage.

I nodded at Riquet, then placed a slice on Nero’s plate and circled behind the kitchen counter.

AKIRA: Here you go, Nero.

NERO: Sorry to bother you, Sage. Could you put it down over there?

AKIRA: (Oh, right. Bringing him his portion makes no difference when his hands are tied up. Why didn’t I think of that?

So how about…)

I picked up the fork to slice a chunk. When I did, the steaming golden filling oozed out.

Careful as to not get in Nero’s way, I stood next to him and held the bite-sized slice near his mouth.

AKIRA: How about now, Nero? Do you think you can take a bite? Please, help yourself.

NERO: Wai– Wha… Is this supposed to be some complimentary perk…?

AKIRA: Co-Complimentary perk? If you count being able to eat freshly baked apple pie as one… Maybe?

NERO: That’s not what I meant…

RIQUET: Oh no, the filling is oozing out! Nero! Quick! Eat it!

NERO: Yeah, but– You know what, I’ll have some. Aah.

…Mhm, delicious.

RIQUET: Hehe! I know, right?

AKIRA: Good for you, Riquet!

Riquet and I shared a smile together. It was at that moment…

RUSTICA: Oh? There is someone is at the door.

SNOW: I sense a human.

NERO: Let me answer.

???: Good afternoon.

Standing outside the door was an old gentleman with a walking stick. His shoulders tensed up and his brows knitted in a stern frown at the echoes appearing and disappearing like smoke.

I swear I’ve seen him before, but I can't put a finger on it…

Nero's mild shock–visible in his visage–soon gave me the answer.

AKIRA: (He looks like the crabby old man eating Nero’s schnitzel…)

NERO: Hello. And you are?

OLD GENTLEMAN: I-It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am the representative of the association tasked with preserving this restaurant.

It was me who commissioned the Magic Manor to investigate the g-ghost hauntings… I stopped by… to greet our guests personally…

SNOW: Do ec– Erm, do ghosts scare you? Not to worry, for these are harmless.

OLD GENTLEMAN: But what of the possibility of a cu-curse…

SNOW: Ugh, what a pa– Erm, well, you will be fine as long as you avoid eye contact with the ghosts. A measure against you-know-what, if you will…

FIGARO: Rest assured, good sir, no harm will come your way provided that you don't form some sort of link with the ghosts.

OLD GENTLEMAN: I see… I’ll keep that in mind.

So, I take it you are…

AKIRA: I am the Sage, yes, and they are my wizards.

CAIN: Just to bring you up to speed, we’re holding a funeral service for the ghosts, so to speak, in the form of cooked offerings.

OLD GENTLEMAN: Ah, I see. Please forgive me for not being around to welcome your arrival; I had several pressing matters to attend to prior to coming here.

If I may ask, how are the prospects of solving the issue looking?

(You Call that Adorable?) Shino SR Card Story Translation

Show my ultimate dance on camera - Chapter 1

Shino: ……..

Shino: (Ugh, why doesn't my school homework include practical skills? I'm always up for anything that requires physical activity.)

Shino: (...Now that I think about it, Mitile and Cain were just talking about a dance that's been really popular on social media these days.)

Shino: Let's look it up, I think it's called…..

Shino: ………

Shino: This dance looks really fun.

Shino: But if I were to do it I'd make my movements more daring…

Figaro: Hi, Shino. Filming will resume soon. How is the progress on your homework?

Shino: Figaro, great timing. My ultimate dance has just been completed. 

Figaro: Ultimate dance? Weren't you doing homework?

Shino: This isn't the time to bother with some homework. More importantly, I need a camera.

Shino: Here, use my phone and record me.

Figaro: Record you….? Only Shino-kun would ask me to do something like that.

Shino: Really? If you don't know how to, I can teach you.

Shino:  Look, open the app, and press here to start recording.

Shino: So, for this particular dance move, move the camera like this…

Figaro: Waitwaitwait, hold on. Even I know how to record at least.

Figaro: Come on, who do you think I am? I'm Professor Figaro, a mere trendy items are no enemy of mine.

Shino: "Professor Figaro"? What?

Shino: Anyway, I'll leave the filming to you. I want to get it done quickly before I forget the dance moves, please.

Figaro: ...Alright, fine then. Come on, let's do this. Ready, go!

Show my ultimate dance on camera - Chapter 2

Shino: I'll do a turn here… Finally, a handstand on one hand--

Shino: Okay! Perfect...!

Shino: Heh, how was it? My ultimate dance move.

Figaro: That was really cool. So, can you check if I captured that ultimate dance move properly?

Shino: Oh, thank…

Shino: …….

Figaro: Oh, was it not shot properly?

Shino: No, it was. It's just that the camera work is not cool, at all.

Figaro: Eeh… But it shows your whole body clearly doesn't it?

Shino: That alone isn't enough. It lacks an impact. 

Shino: Dance videos these days have been getting more into the camerawork.

Figaro: I see, sorry. I'm not as knowledgeable about this kinda stuff as a pro like you.

Figaro: Is this what they call "Mirishira*"?

Tl note: Mirishira is a Japanese internet slang that means absolutely no information on the thing.

Shino: That's a slightly incorrect way of using it.

Shino: Anyway, like I said before, move the camera for each move so that my dancing stands out.

Figaro: Ah, that's what you meant earlier when you said "this particular dance move".

Shino: Since we're here, I'll teach you how to shoot a dance video.

Figaro: Eh, filming is about to start… Besides, you haven't finished your homework yet, have you?

Shino: Don't worry, Figaro. if it's you, I am sure you can remember it in 10 minutes.

Shino: And the homework too, with your help, we'll easily make it in time.

Figaro: Oh, I'm helping with the homework too…

A difficult request - Card episode 

Shino: Sage, are you taking a walk?

Akira: This voice... Shino? Huh, where are you?

Shino: Here.

Akira: Ohh! So you were up in the tree!

Akira: There are only tall trees around here… And you descended so easily, Shino is really light on his feet.

Akira: You know, in the dream I had the other day, Shino was dancing coolly with movements like you're doing now.

Shino: Oh yeah, you did say that in your dream, that I was good at dancing.

Shino: What kind of dance? 

Akira: There were a lot of cool dances where you moved your body boldly like you did just now, I think.

Akira: Like, you did somersaults, put one hand on the ground, kicked your foot up in the air, and did acrobatic things…

Shino: Somersaults and feet in the air… Is it something like this?

Akira: Wow, amazing! That's exactly like it!

Akira: Shino, that was awesome!

Shino: Heh, That's no big deal.

Shino: What other dances did I do? I might as well recreate everything I did in my dream.

Akira: Eh, are you sure? let's see, you also put your head on the ground and turn...

Shino: Turn with your head...?

Shino: I don't really get what that is by just words. Sage, show me an example.

Akira: Oh, an example!? That might be difficult...!

Akira: (If I tried, I'd end up having to ask Shino to carry me to Figaro…)

homescreen voice line

In your dream, I was an actor. Even with long scripts I only took about a day to remember? heh, so the so-called genius type. What else did I do? I was good at fan service? Blowing kisses to the camera…. *kiss* like this.
