Helios Rising Heroes - Rage or Silence

Chapter 8: 

Street Delinquent A: Eh…….

Asch: Who do you think I am!? I can wipe you off the face of this earth!

Street Delinquent A: Hii…….

Street Delinquent B: S-shit……! If Gast-san were here, we wouldn’t lose to you!

Asch: …………

Biker A: Sorry, Asch-san. 

Asch: Huh? What for?

Biker A: You got involved in our conflict….and recently, your own beloved ride was trashed because of it. 

Biker B: As a biker, it hurt to see such a cool bike get damaged. 

Asch: Hah, that’s stupid. I’ll just tune it up even better than before, so there’s no problem. 

Asch: Was getting tired of the sound too. I’m gonna have everything replaced, starting with the muffler. 

Biker A: Eh, the muffler…!?

Asch: Off-the-shelf products are getting kinda old, so I ordered something custom. 

Biker B: So cool…..

Biker A: About that actually, you used to ride Star Drags, which were limited edition, didn’t you?

Biker B: I think it was a reproduction model, and it was so popular only a couple people got to buy it. 

Asch: Ah, that one. I had that one reissued by the manufacturer. 

Biker A: Wait, Asch recreated that motorbike!?

Asch: Of course, I’m not gonna drive a used one. 

Biker B: W-wow—.....The motorbike I’ve wanted for so long is…..

Asch: Hmph, don’t measure it by your ordinary standards. 

Biker A: You really are the coolest, Asch-san! 

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

Gray: ……….

Billy: What’s up, Gray? Creeping around an alleyway like this. 

Gray: Ah, no, it’s…..nothing too important…..

Billy: Wow! Asch-paisen’s getting his ego inflated by those bikers. 

Billy: Is something bothering you?

Gray: !!No,... it’s, nothing much….

Billy: Really? Can you look me in the eyes and say that again~?

Gray: Uuuh…. I can’t really see your eyes that well….

Billy: Wow! What shall I do~!

Gray: Fufu….thank you, Billy-kun…

Gray: It just, kind of reminded me of my time at the Academy….

Gray: Surrounded by his underlings, he’d act so high and mighty...... 

Billy: I see…..

Gray: ………..

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

Biker A: Oh yeah! On our next rally, you should come lead us!

Biker B: That’s great! I want to race behind you, Asch! 

Asch: Aren’t you guys getting ahead of yourselves? I have no intention of hanging out with you lot. 

Biker A: Eh……

Asch: It’s the same deal now. I didn’t help because I wanted to, I just did my job. 

Asch: If you cause trouble to the citizens, it’ll be your asses on the line next. Remember that. 

Bikers: Y-yes…..

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

Billy: Was he like that during the Academy too?

Gray: ……..I don’t know. 

Gray: No…..maybe, it’s a little different….?

Billy: Looks like the bikers are listening to Asch-paisen and trying not to cause any trouble for the citizens. 

Gray: ……….

Helios Rising Heroes - Rage or Silence

Chapter 3:

Roy: [Ah, hello. Gast-san, hope it’s alright I called.]

Gast: Yeah, moved to the public lounge area so it’s fine. So, what was that story about? 

Roy: [Nah, I just heard a strange rumor I thought you should know about.]

Gast: Weird rumor?

Roy: [Yeah, recently it’s been going around the delinquents of Green East that “Gast from Seven Three Bangs” has come back.]

Gast: Me? Come back?

Roy: [Yeah, it’s weird, isn’t it?]

Gast: …………..

Roy: [Gast-san?]

Gast: Ah, sorry. Yeah, that’s definitely weird. 

Roy: [I know right. I was surprised when I heard the story too.]

Roy: [But it seems a lot of people over at Green East believe it.]

Roy: [Well, there were a lot of folks there who came from Red South right? So I think it’s just the people that looked up to you that are raising a fuss…]

Gast: …….Where’d the rumor even come from?

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

[Asch and Ren walk in]

Roy: [Sorry, I don’t have the full details either. I’m trying to piece it together but—]

Gast: Sorry, wait I’ll call you back. 

Roy: [Eh? Aah, got it.] 

[Gast hangs up]

Gast: Now that’s an odd combo. Did you get lost again, Ren? 

Ren: I’m not lost. 

Asch: He totally was. Why couldn’t he just head directly towards the Tower? 

Gast: Ahaha….thanks, Asch. 

Asch: Nah, that just happened in passing. I came here to talk to you. 

Gast: Me? That’s weird too. 

Asch: Tell me honestly. Are those thugs causing trouble in Green East your lackeys? 

Gast: In Green East….?

Asch: Looks like you’ve got some clue on what’s going on. 

Gast: N-no wait! That isn’t the territory of my little bros. 

Gast: Their territory is in Red South. And they’re not aggressive enough to start fights in other sectors. 

Gast: Anyhow, why’s this even coming up in the first place? 

Asch: There’s a fight going on between bikers and thugs in Green East right now. 

Asch: They even damaged my bike….dammit, it sucks. 

Ren: The delinquents kept mentioning your name. 

Gast: ……Me?

Ren: Sounded a lot like he adored you. 

Gast: …..That kinda thing, huh. 

Gast: But it’s got nothing to do with me or my brothers. 

Gast: My name coming up was… probably just cuz’ I had my own fair share of clout as a delinquent, y’know? It’s a common tactic in fights to bring up the names of strong people, right? 

Asch: ………

Asch: Seriously, you’ve got nothing to do with this? 

Gast: Yeah, I don’t. 

Asch: Hmph, that’s fine then. They should stop using your name for such weird purposes. 

[Asch walks off]

Gast: Ah, yeah……

Ren: Huh, so it really was irrelevant. 

Gast: Oh? Were you maybe worried about me? 

Ren: Never. 

Ren: Just thought I’d say something if you were involved. 

Gast: Say what? 

Ren: Eh, anything really…..

[Ren walks off]

Gast: ……?

ARCANA: The High Priestess - Marion Blythe Card Story

Marion: —And, that’s a review of what we’ve covered so far. 

Ren & Gast: ……..

Marion: Gast….you’ve been neglecting your duties, haven’t you? 

Gast: Uu…..

Ren: ……….

Marion: And these are all basic questions… disappointing

Gast: Sorry….I didn’t think I’d get this rusty either. Things were starting to come back as I listened to you talk but…. 

Marion: Ah well. I’ll have to drill it in again, including the events that occurred during your absence. 

Gast: Y-yeah… Sigh~~......

Ren: ……Oi, no sighing. 

Marion: …….. >:(

Gast: Ah, shit……! 

Gast: Hh……..

[long pause]

Marion: Here. Next question set. Do it quickly. 

Gast: Huh?

Ren: ……….

Marion: What is it? 

Gast: Aah~ ….No, I thought for sure the whip was gonna come flying….

Marion: What are you talking about? Stop dilly-dallying and get on with it. Ren’s already started. 

Gast: Geh-! Not fair, Ren! 

Ren: What isn’t? You’re the one who’s distracted. 

Marion: He’s right. Less grumbling, more answering. You have 30 minutes…got it? 

Gast: Y–yeah! 

[In the training room]

Ren & Gast: [panting]

Marion: Combat training is alright….both your results aren’t bad. 

Gast: Just a passing grade…..strict as ever huh. The drill was harder than usual. 

Marion: That’s exactly why it’s only passing. Your movements have become more intentional, but you’ve got a long way to go. Keep working on it. 

Gast: Haha…saying it like that…… 

Ren: Oi….

Marion: ……… >:(

Gast: Marion, that’s not it! I’m not making excuses, just talking to myself….!

Marion: …..Looks like you still have enough energy to run your mouth huh. Then next time, I’ll add—

Ren & Gast: ………….

Marion: ……? Again, what is it? You’ve been looking at me weird. 

Gast: S, sorry….. Wasn’t intending to but....uh, Marion, are you feeling alright? 

Marion: Huh? 

Ren: Oi, Gast….

Gast: Ah, no! I’m not saying you’ve been weird or anything like that……! 

Marion: If you have something to say, just spit it out. It’s annoying. 

Gast: Uuh, how do I say this…. You’ve been able to control……no, that you can just feels weird…

Marion: ……….

Marion: (What’s up with him…. maybe he still hasn’t fully recovered?)

Marion: ……If you aren’t feeling well, say so from the start.  

Gast: ………….Eh?

Marion: That’s all for today, get some proper rest.

[Marion walks off]  

Gast: Wh-what was that…..?

Ren: No idea…..

[At Victor’s lab]

Marion: Their theoretical knowledge is a little shaky,  but the rest were passable. 

Victor: In terms of theoretical knowledge, Ren shouldn’t be an issue. Gast maybe just needs some time to refresh his memory. 

Victor: Since it seems to me he has a good grasp of what he studied at the Academy. 

Marion: …..Yeah, he was definitely distracted by other things. He couldn’t concentrate at all. 

Victor: Other things like?

Marion: That I don’t know. It’s why I thought maybe he hasn't fully recovered yet….. 

Victor: Hmm, just an example, but would it perhaps include things like….staring without saying a word…?

Marion: Huh? What is that, gross….. 

Marion: Hm?

Ren & Gast: ………….

Victor: They saw all that, Marion. 

Marion: You two, didn’t I tell you to go rest?

Gast: …..It really is weird. 

Marion: ……This is the second time already, but I’ll ask anyways. What is?

Gast: Your “Blood Rules”. 

Marion: Huh……? 

Gast: I’ve broken them a bunch of times already, but nothing happened….

Gast: I’ve already pushed your boundaries a lot. Isn’t that weird…..? 

Marion: ………..

Marion: …..I see. So you’re at least self-aware?

Gast: Eh? 

Ren: ……!

Marion [smirking]: Hmph….

Gast: Ma-marion….?

Marion [bringing out the whip]: Guess worrying you weren’t feeling well was too soft of me. 

Marion: Now I get it…...I shouldn’t have been spoiling you!

[whipping noises]

Gast: Eh, now!???

Ren: Why am I included…..!

Marion: It’s a collective responsibility, so get ready. 

Gast: W-wait wait. Control! Control, Marion! 

Marion: Make no mistake, I am in full control! 

Ren: Oi, Gast do something!

Gast: Don’t be absu–aGH–!

[Gast dodges a whip strike]

Marion: No running! Just accept your punishment! 

Gast: I’m sorry! It's my bad so—

Gast: (But, I’m glad we’re back to usual….)

Marion: Stop grinning like that! You haven’t reflected enough!

[whip strike]

Gast: Oww–!

[whip strike]

Ren: I had nothing to do with this….!

Victor: Oya oya…..they get along well, huh. 

Victor: ,,,,,Though, Marion, please refrain from starting scuffles in my lab.

Helios Rising Heroes - Rage or Silence

Chapter 13:

Delinquent Leader: Eh….

Asch: ……..

Street Delinquent B: Woooaaah, holy shit!!

Street Delinquent A: Hell yeah!! Now we can really let those bikers taste pain!

Biker A: Tch, shit……

Biker B: With that Gast Adler on board….things don’t look too good….

Delinquent Leader: I appreciate it, but is this really okay? Heroes are our—

Gast: You sure used a hero’s name a lot, can’t complain ‘bout that now. 

Delinquent Leader: O-of course, I’m grateful you came at this time. 

Asch: Hmph……

Gast: Guys, I’m in charge of this team from now on. I’ll be countin’ on ya. 

Delinquents: YEAAAHH!!!

Gast: With that, you have to follow my orders. If you don’t….you know the consequences, right?

Street Delinquent B: Y-yes!

Gast: Good. 

Gast: Okay, first of all, let’s make peace with these bikers. 

Bikers: Wh–....

Delinquent Leader: H-hold it, wait–! We’re here because we have to drive these bikers outta here! 

Street Delinquent A: Yeah….! For the sake of the city, we need to get them out!

Gast: Shut it. 

Delinquents: H……

Gast: I told you to follow my orders, right?

Delinquents: …………

Delinquent Leader: No, that’s too much! We can’t just let these bikers run wild! We need to get rid of them straight away!

Gast: It’s not them who should leave. It’s you. 

Delinquent Leader: ….Eh

Gast: You declared a bone to pick with bikers in order to unite the delinquents, even though there was no need for this dispute to happen in the first place, didn’t you? 

Delinquent Leader: N-no that’s…….

Gast: Then let me ask you this: Are these guys really aggressive? Are they committing theft? Are they dangerous people? 

Biker A: Why the hell would we commit theft? We just need territory and a place to modify our motorbikes. 

Biker B: Then these guys started attacking us, calling us a criminal gang. 

Delinquent Leader: Tsk…..

Gast: You were planning to use this conflict to gain status around here, weren’t you?

Street Delinquent A: If that’s true, were we being manipulated this whole time…..?

Street Delinquent B: Is there no actual point in fighting these bikers……..?

Gast: You offered me a place in charge of the group, but assumed I wouldn’t take it on because I’m a hero, just so you could use my name, right?

Delinquent Leader: I-it’s true that I used you! But it’s also true that I admire you! I want to be just like you—

Gast: I only came here to stop it. 

Delinquent Leader: Eh….

Gast: That’s it. Sorry. 

Delinquent Leader: Shit….!

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

Asch: Oi, where the fuck do you think you’re going?

Delinquent Leader: …….!

Asch: You gotta make up for all this. I ain’t letting you get away with it. 

Delinquent Leader: Hh……..

Gast: We did a terrible thing to you bikers. We’ll apologize properly later. 

Gast: So, can we just make peace here?

Biker A: …..If you say so. 

Biker A: Okay, let’s make peace. 

Gast: Thanks. 

Gast: So, this marks the end of this conflict! Got it!?

Delinquents: YEAH!!

Helios Rising Heroes - Rage or Silence

Chapter 9:

Asch: Besides, motorbikes aren’t things you ride in groups. 

Asch: It feels good to shake off all that’s weighing you down and head straight on. 

Biker A: I feel that. We got on these motorbikes to escape far away, but in the end, we couldn’t find a place to belong. 

Biker B: That’s right. We just hung out with people who happened to be going the same way, and before I knew it, we’d become a team. 

Asch: ………….

Biker A: That’s why, we  just follow Asch-san’s lead. 

Asch: Not possible for you guys. You can’t keep up with me. 

Biker B: No, I’ll definitely catch up. I’m a biker after all! 

Asch: …..Hmph, suit yourselves. 

[Phone dings]

Biker A: Hm? ….This is?

Biker B: What’s up?

Biker A: Look at this message. 

Biker B: Wh……

Asch: ?

Biker B: Sorry, Asch-san! We have to get going now. 

Asch: Where the hell are you going in such a hurry?

Biker A: Please don’t ask…..!

[Bikers run off]

Asch: Huh?

Jay: Oi, Asch. 

Asch: Now you guys, huh. Patrol isn’t over yet. 

Jay: I got a call from a friend at the police department. I thought I should tell the whole team, so I met up with the rookies first. 

Asch: What is it?

Jay: Apparently some delinquents mistook a civilian’s motorbike for a biker’s and trashed it. 

Jay: Moreover, the owner was injured while trying to protect it. 

Asch: ….What?

Billy: The perpetrators are on the run. Seems like they’re going to make some arrests soon. 

Asch: Tch……

Jay: The police have requested that we monitor their movements. 

Gray: That kind of….

Asch: Oi, you shitty brat. Have you been sniffing around this time too?

Billy: Yes, sniffing around is my job!

Billy: I was also curious about this incident, so I decided to look into it—when did the dispute start, what happened, etc. 

Billy: One interesting thing was that a certain person’s name came up frequently.

Billy: Well, for me to go any further will require a fee—

Asch: Gast Adler, huh. 

Billy: Ooh, so you've heard?

Asch: ………….

Gray: Gast-kun….why…?

Billy: Rumor has it that he’s returned to delinquency, that he’s in charge, and a whole lot of other interesting information!

Gray: Is it some kind of mistake? Gast-kun….he doesn’t strike me as a delinquent….he’s kind, even to me…..

Jay: That’s true. I’d heard he was a former delinquent when he first entered, but since I’ve met him, he’s only been caring and didn’t come off as the rebellious type at all. 

Billy: Right~, right~

Billy: If you want, Asch-paisen, I can look into the nitty gritty of it?

Asch: Nah, after hearing this much, your services ain’t that useful.

Helios Rising Heroes - Truthfully Similar Mentors

Mission: Don't Flatter! - Asch Albright Card Story

Asch: …….Tch…

Oscar: Oi, Asch. You need to warm up a little more. 

Asch: Shut up. I already did. 

Asch: I mean, what are you doing here anyways. I already said I’d run alone. 

Oscar: If we’re both running, there’s no harm in doing it together. And anyways, if we’re competing—

Asch: I never said I would–

Marion: Hey, you guys have been blabbing around since earlier. It’s fine to run together, but if you’re gonna raise a fuss, take it elsewhere. 

Asch: I already told you, I wouldn’t run like this…..!

Oscar: Calm down, Asch. Sorry for interrupting. Will you be running too, Marion? 

Marion: …..And what about it? 

Oscar: Do you want to join us?

Asch: Aaaaagh fuck! Whatever, I’m going but don’t follow me. 

[Asch runs off]

Marion: I’ll also head off on my own. It sucks having to pace myself to someone else. 

[Marion runs off]

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

Asch: …..Oi, why are you following me? 

Marion: Hah? That’s my line. 

Marion: What are you trying to accomplish by running alongside me? Just keep that trap of yours shut and stay behind me. 

Asch: Who is staying behind who? You run along behind. 

Marion: ………

[Marion runs off ahead]

Asch: This fucker……

Marion: Looks like you’re the one getting left behind. 

Asch: BRING IT ON….!

[Asch runs]

Oscar: Seems like they both ended up running together after all. 

Asch&Marion: Haah?

Oscar: It’s good to compete and spur improvement in one another. I can’t lose, either. 

Asch & Marion: ……..

Asch: Have at it. 

Marion: Whoever joins along doesn’t concern me. 

Oscar: I see. 

Oscar: (Even so, it seems neither of them will give in, huh….) 

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

Asch: (Man fuck, because these guys came along, I was thrown off my game all day……)

Asch: ……Hm? 

Ren: …………

Asch: (That guy…… Wandering around like that, is he lost again?) 

Asch: (Hmph, it has nothing to do with me—) 

Ren: ………..

Asch: Oi, where are you going? 

Ren: ……Asch? Where, to the gym—

Asch: Haah? The gym’s over here. You’ve been many times before, how are you still getting lost? 

Ren: I’m not lost. 

Asch: Quiet. Don’t waste my time. Just shut that trap and follow me. 

Ren: ………..(。•́︿•̀。)

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

Marion: You’re late.

Asch: Aah? Then you should take initiative to put a collar on him and bring him over yourself, bastard.  

Marion: Why are you…. Ren, did you perhaps get lost again? 

Ren: ………

Marion: I told you to contact me right away in that scenario. 

Asch: Leave the sermon for later. Anyways, have you seen Billy? 

Marion: Huh? How should I know? No one was here since I arrived, and no one’s been here since. 

Asch: That bastard, he’s run away again. Shit, I’m not letting this slide! 

[Door slams open]

Billy: Let me go, Oscar-paisen! I can walk on my own~! 

Oscar: If I take my eyes off you, you’re just gonna run off again. 

Asch: ……Oscar?

Oscar: Asch, you had training scheduled with Billy, right?

Oscar: I invited him to join me for some waterfall training* because he said he was free, but he mumbled something incoherent and tried to run away, so I caught him and brought him here. 

Billy: Ohoho~? Has Renren perhaps also earned himself a little scolding? 

Ren: …..A little, I was late. 

Billy: Wow, me too☆

Asch: Bastard, you’ve got guts, running away from me. I’ll make up for the delay by giving you a good workout. 

Oscar: It’s a good idea to increase the intensity of your training. I’ll help out as well. 

Asch: Do as you’d like. Come on, get your ass in gear. If you’re late again, we’ll be extending the time. 

Billy: EEEH!?**

Asch: This is on you for running away. 

Marion: Of course, lateness deserves punishment. Should I be stricter with you on that? 

Ren: Well, it’s true I was late…

Marion: Hmph, that’s good resolve. 

Billy: Juust a moment! Why is everyone so eager to agree with this~!? 

Asch: Don’t yell. First off is 100 squats. Get to it!!! 

Billy: UEEE~~~

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

Billy: I’m at my limit~...... Renren, you still alive~? 

Ren: Shut up…don’t talk to me……

Asch: Don’t even think about running away after this.

Billy: Ye~ah…..

Ren: ………….

Oscar: Maybe I was a little too hard on them… but, it’s also important to challenge your limits. 

Asch: Hah, aren’t you a sweet bastard. These guys just don’t have enough guts. 

Marion: Well, I’d like for them to be able to do this much. 

Asch: We have got to do something to prevent this guy from running away again….. 

Marion: (Huh. I thought he was just being stuck-up, but seems like he does put a lot of thought into his teaching methods.)

Marion: Wonder if I should also review the current training regimen…. 

Asch: (He’s a cocky bastard, but he doesn’t slack off in his guidance.) 

Marion: …..What. 

Asch: Haah? It’s nothing. 

Oscar: Somehow it seems like you two have become friends as well. 

Oscar: How about this. If we’re considering training content, why don’t we have Dino-san join us to exchange opinions? 

Asch: No fucking way. 

Marion: Why do I have to go through such trouble? 

Oscar: Since you’re pretty similar, I think you can take inspiration from others…

Asch&Marion: WHO ARE YOU CALLING SIMILAR!!

Helios Rising Heroes - Jacqueline's Secret

Mission: Don't Flatter! - Marion Blythe Card Story

Marion: Work took a little longer than expected today. I need to finish this report soon….

Marion: Hm?

Jacqueline: ….This is alright-nano. I’ve cleaned everything up perfectly. 

Marion: Jacqueline…? What are you doing in my room?

Jacqueline: Marion-chama!? When did you come back!? 

Marion: ? Just a while ago….

Jacqueline: Just now…did you see…?

Marion: Just now? Weren’t you cleaning up?

Jacqueline: Cleaning…?

Jacqueline: Y-yes-nano! Jacqueline was cleaning!

Marion: ……..

Jacqueline: ……..

Marion: Something doesn’t seem right…did something happen?

Jacqueline: I-it doesn’t have anything to do with Marion-chama~~~!! 

Marion: ,,,..Eh?

Marion: Jacqueline…..?

[Jacqueline runs away]

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

Marion: Jacqueline! Wait up, Jacqueline! 

Jacqueline: Don’t follow me-nano~~!

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

Marion: Why won’t you tell me!? 

Jacqueline: There’s nothing to tell you-nano~~!!

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

Marion: Why are you running away! Stop it, Jacqueline!!

Jacqueline: No-nano~~~~~!

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

Marion: Something is DEFINITELY up!!

Gast: Ma-marion….Maybe calm down a little.

Marion: How can I! What on earth could she be hiding…..

Marion: Even when I approach her just to talk, she runs away…. she’s definitely gotten involved in something strange again…

Gast: Surely it isn't like that?

Marion: On what basis are you saying that? 

Gast: No, it’s…just a hunch? 

Marion: …..Now that it’s come to this, I have to follow her to find out what she’s up to. 

Gast: Eh!? Do ya really have to go that far? 

Gast: I don’t think it’s that strange for Jacqueline to have a secret or two, though…

Marion: Quit running your mouth. Or you’ll get the whip. 

Gast: Hiie!?

Marion: It’s a waste of time to just speculate like this. I’m going to check on Jacqueline. 

Gast: W-wait wait….!

Marion: What. If you have something to say, say it clearly. 

Gast: …..I’ll help you. It looks like you’re going to need some control now. 

Marion: ….Do what you want. 

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

Marion: Oi, bend over a little more. Jacqueline might see you. 

Gast: Oop, sorry. 

Male Researcher: Jacqueline! Did you find what you were looking for?

Jacqueline: Yes-nano! I think the store you told me about has it-nano! 

Female Researcher: Isn’t that great. I hope you can say it properly. I’m rooting for you, so do your best!

Jacqueline: I will do my best! Thank you everyone-nano~!

Marion: ……?

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

Marion: Could it be, I’m the only one she can’t let in on this? 

Gast: Ah—....I wonder?

Marion: You, do you know something? 

Gast: …..I promised Jacqueline I wouldn’t tell. 

Marion: Why would she only keep it from me….does she really not want me to know that badly? 

Gast: No, hmm~..... 

Marion: …………

Gast: Hm, what’s up? Are you heading back? 

Marion: If she really doesn’t want me to know, it’s better not to pry. 

Gast: (Saying that with such a depressed face. I wanna do something, but it really isn’t my place to—) 

Jacqueline: Thank you-nano! With this, I can apologize to Marion-chama! 

Marion: …..?

Shopkeeper: Shouldn’t you have apologized right away?

Jacqueline: I couldn’t have done that-nano….Marion-chama is kind, so if I apologized he would’ve forgiven me right away. 

Jacqueline: But, I think he would’ve been sad to find out his favorite mug broke….

Jacqueline: That’s why I’ll give him a new one as a present, and apologize then! 

Shopkeeper: I see. Then apologize properly. 

Jacqueline: Yes-nano! Wait for me-nano, Marion-chama~~~~♪

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

Marion: …So that time, Jacqueline was cleaning up the broken mug…? 

Marion: I should’ve noticed right away that the mug was missing, but….

Gast: She asked me for help too, but seems like she really wanted to keep it a secret from you. Sorry. 

Marion: ….No need to apologize. You were giving Jacqueline advice, right? 

Gast: Well…..now that you know the secret….what’ll you do? 

Marion: Nothing really. When she comes to apologize, I’ll just pretend I didn’t find out and accept it. 

Marion: I’m sad Jacqueline kept it a secret, but I appreciate her sentiments. 

Gast: I see….

Marion: Let’s go. 

[Marion walks off]

Gast: ….Marion sure is kind. 

Marion: Oi, what are you idling around for? 

Gast: Aah, sorry! Let’s quickly head back. 

Marion: Of course. Can’t keep Jacqueline waiting.

Nico: Robin bought lemons and stewed the peels with them, so I think you should do the same. 

Sage: Uwaah…. I mean I’m copying Sensei’s recipe to the T, but the taste I end up with still isn’t quite right….

Sage: Your method is unique, but if it allows you to recreate a taste similar to Sensei’s pie….then this is probably the final choice….

Nico: Just a lemon? 

Nico: Anyways…how’s Licht? Is he joining us today too?

Sage: Ah, yeah. He’s currently undergoing a test over at Professor Nova’s. 

Nico: Hmm…..

Sage: Sorry for taking up your precious break, but I felt really lucky you were free. 

Nico: If you don’t mind me eating the finished pie, you’re more than welcome.  

Sage: Thank you.  Yes, now I just need to practice! So I can let Licht-kun experience my favorite taste!

Sage: I’ll challenge myself everyday until I come up with a method I’m satisfied with, so come and try it anytime! Nico! 

Nico: Yeah, I will. 

Sage: I’ll start by mastering your version. Right now it’s the closest replica to that flavor. 

Nico: Got it, I’ll teach you, then. 

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

Nico: I’m hungry…..

Sage: Sorry. For now you might just have to snack on the leftover filling and bear with it….but can I add the cinnamon powder in now? 

Nico: Yeah, but the timing isn’t all that important….(chewing noises)

Sage: The brand name makes a difference, doesn’t it? Sensei always used the same cinnamon powder. 

Nico: Yeah, it matters. 

Sage: Ah…come to think of it, do you listen to any music, Nico? 

Nico: (mid-chew)...?

Sage: I’m asking around a bunch. This is also so Licht-kun can learn about different kinds of music. 

Sage: Side note, Bianchi-san ended up being very knowledgeable on that end. 

Nico: Sounds about right. 

Sage: The songs they play while working are apparently chosen to fit the theme of whatever costume they’re working on. It’s honestly kind of impressive. 

Nico: Did you ask Jude? 

Sage: Of course! Jude knew all kinds of songs too. 

Sage: Well I had the feeling, but all the songs he listed as his favorites are the same as Bianchi’s…. I guess those two really do get along ♪

Nico: …………..

Sage: So? What about you? 

Nico: I don’t really go there.  

Sage: I see…. well, that tracks. Even when we were in the same room, the topic never really came up. 

Sage: But… I have always wondered. 

Sage: When you’re in a good mood, you sometimes hum, right? 

Nico: ……………

Sage: I was wondering if you had a favorite song, and I’d like to hear it someday. 

Nico: That is…..

Nico: When I lived in my parent’s house, there were quite a few people around me who liked music……I think the songs they used to play often linger around in my memory. 

Sage: Aah, I see! So it’s like that, huh! 

Sage: Those experiences are connected to the present. In my case, it’s the opposite to yours. 

Sage: I remember in Sensei’s house, we rarely ever played music—

Nico: Huh? 

Sage: Oop–I ended up rambling about Sensei again……

Nico: ?

Sage: No, I’ve just been thinking lately that I might talk about Sensei too much…….

Sage: I don’t really think too hard about it, and I like talking about him, but….sometimes it can be awkward for other people to hear about. 

Nico: ………….

Sage: I have to be careful when living with Licht-kun from now on. 

Nico: …..Sage, if you don’t hurry, the apples will go dry. 

Sage: Uwaah!? You’re right….!

Sage: Ah man, I need to get quicker like you…..

Nico: Speed is important, but there are times when taking it slowly is too. 

Nico: I want to eat things quickly, so I take various shortcuts, but Robin often warned me that it wouldn’t taste as good. 

Sage: …Eh?

Nico: I also learned a lot about cooking. 

Nico: We made things side by side in the kitchen like this. I didn’t know anything, but Robin taught me everything from scratch. 

Nico: Cooking is my memory with Robin. 

Sage: I see….

Nico: I think you can talk whenever you want to. 

Nico: Maybe wait and see about Licht, but you don’t have to hold back in front of us. 

Sage: Nico……..

Nico: I think it’d be more concerning if you didn’t talk about him. 

Sage: Ahaha….. well, you might be right on that…..

Sage: Yeah, I guess I’ll just stay the same for you and the others. 

Sage: ….If I could do that, I’d be really happy too. 

Nico: Yup. 

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

Sage: Here, Licht-kun. Thank you for waiting. 

Licht: Wah…..

Licht: It’s an apple pie….

Sage: I’ve had you eat it once before. I think the taste has improved since then. 

Sage: This is my favorite. I really want Licht-kun to know this taste—

Licht: The one I ate before was good though….? 

Sage: Eh……

Licht: Thank you for the food. 

Licht: …..Yup, It’s yummy today too. 

Sage: Waah….!

Sage: I’m so glad….. There’s still a lot, so eat as much as you like! 

Licht: Mhm.....

Sage: (I did it, Nico! Licht-kun liked it!!)

Sage: (I’m glad….. I’m so glad…….!) 

Sage: (Thank you so much, Nico. I’ll come see you again with lots of delicious thanks—)

Junior: (Over there is Sage, and……)

Junior: (M-m-ma,,,Marion….!) 

Sage: Thanks, Marion-kun. 

Marion: Yeah, I’ll be going then. 

[Marion walks off]

Sage: …..Eh, is that you over there, Junior-kun? 

Junior: !!!??

Sage: ? Did you need something from me?

Junior: N-no!? Not in particular!? 

Sage: Is that so…? Well I was talking to Marion-kun just now, and you did come up as a topic. 

Junior: EEEEEHHH!!?? M-marion…..about me….? 

Sage: You made a playlist and sent it to me the other day, right? We were talking about that. 

Sage: That got me a little interested in music, so I asked Marion for some recommendations. He’s the only other person I know who loves music. 

Junior: So that’s how it is….. Marion’s recommendations….. I’d sure like to hear that……. 

Sage: Should I tell you the songs he just told me? 

Junior: Would you really!? 

Junior: ….No, actually, I shouldn’t.

Sage: Are you sure?  

Junior: I want to know so badly… but, I’ll ask Marion to tell me himself….

Sage: Aah, that kind of thing. Junior, you’re a fan of Marion, right? 

Junior: Fwah!?

Sage: Could it be that the reason you skipped grades in the Academy was because you admired Marion….? 

Junior: N, nnnnn-no, that’s wro–, there’s no—

Sage: That’s so cool, Junior-kun!

Junior: Eh…….

Sage: Everyone has people they admire, but I think actually following their footsteps is pretty difficult. You must have put in a lot of effort. I think that’s really amazing. 

Junior [blushing]: Th….that…… 

Junior: …… I guess so…..? 

Sage: That’s right! It’s nerve-wracking to talk to someone you admire, but wanting to talk to them anyways…I totally understand that feeling. 

Junior: That’s right~ My nerves always get to me…even if we get the opportunity to talk, I don’t even get to say a third of what I want to…

Junior: I still get nervous even just talking to him…. Ahh, I wonder if he would approach me first…..

Junior: No, I shouldn’t entertain such convenient scenarios—

Sage: Pink…..

Junior: Hm? Pink?

Sage: Ah….if you don’t like this kind of thing, feel free to ignore it, but…..

Sage: Junior’s lucky color today seems to be pink. If you try wearing it, something good may happen to you. 

Junior: Lucky color? ...Is this like, fortune telling? 

Sage: Yup. This is all I can really do, but I hope it can help you even a little bit ♪

Junior: ……

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

Junior: (Fortune telling huh~...... I’ve never really thought of it before, but it shouldn’t hurt…. so maybe I’ll give it a try?)

Junior: (Mmm, but pink is… pink, pink, pink—)

Faith: Ah, Ochibi-chan. You’re back huh. 

Junior: PINK!!!

Faith: Eeh….?

Junior: Oi, Shitty DJ! Lend me those headphones for today!

Faith: Huh? I don’t want to. Why do I have to lend them to you? 

Junior: You only wear them for fashion anyways! I’ll put them to good use! 

Faith: No, what kind of absurd argument is that…

[door slamming and more footsteps]

Dino: I’m homee~ Ah, you’re both back too. Good work on the patro–

Junior: PINK!!!!!!

Dino: Uwaah!? What is it, what is it!? 

Junior: Dino! Lend me that belt today! 

Dino: B-belt? Again, what is….? 

Junior: Well, Dino is all pink…. Would it work to just bring you around….?

Dino: What what what!?

Jacqueline: It’s bad, terrible, horrible-nano~~~~!

Dino: Jacqueline!?

Jacqueline: It’s terrible-nano….. Jacqueline, seems to have gotten lost again-nano……

Faith: Aah….what, that’s it? Someone contact Jack or Marion—

Junior: PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Faith: Eh, wh–Ochibi-chan!? 

Junior: Hey, you! Lend me your ribbon for today! 

Jacqueline: I can’t-nano. This is the precious ribbon that Marion-chama gave me-nano. 

Junior: Gh…that’s right… I’m jealous….no, actually that…!!!!!

Jacqueline: Does Junior-chama like ribbons-nano? If so I could lend you another one ♪

Junior: Can you really!? Could I get the pink one! 

Dino: W-what happened…Junior…..

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

Marion: You really helped me. Thanks for looking after Jacqueline. 

Faith: No, she kind of landed here on her own. 

Jacqueline: Marion-chama, thank you for coming to pick me up-nano~

Marion: Jack and Nova are also worried. Shall we head back? 

Junior: ………

Marion: ….Ah, oh yeah, Junior. 

Junior: !?

Marion: Did you make a playlist for Sage? 

Marion: He was praising it so much I got a little curious. If you don’t mind, could you send it to me too? 

Junior: Eeeeeh—!!!????

Marion: As a thank you, I could also share some of my recommended songs. Though, it’s all classical music so I don’t know if it’s quite to your taste…..

Junior: Awawa…..awawawa, awawawawa….!!!!!

Marion: …..Is that a no? 

Faith: Aah, no, no, that’s an, “Is that really okay, Marion!? I’d love to!”, is what he said. 

Marion: Huh, couldn’t tell. 

Marion: Well, feel free to contact me again when you feel like it. I’ll get going, then. 

Jacqueline: Bye bye, Junior-chama! Jacqueline will also look for a cute pink ribbon~

Chapter 41: 

Nico: The data records…indicate this was taken right after the last time everyone gathered together. 

Nico: It was originally wiped alongside the other data, but I’m sure Robin wanted all of us to see it, so I’ll share it here now. 

Sage: ……….

Robin [hologram]: [……….]

Bianchi & Jude: ……!

Robin: [Um…… is this recording properly?]

Robin: [Recording yourself feels really weird, doesn’t it….]

Sage: Sensei……

Robin: [Nico, Bianchi, Jude, and Sage. Sorry for not contacting sooner.]

Robin: [This recording will soon be deleted, so if you’re watching this, Nico probably did his best.]

Nico: …….

Robin: [....I guess you’ve probably learned a lot by now? I won’t go into details here, but sorry for surprising you.] 

Bianchi & Jude: ……….

Robin: [Among you….Sage. You may have ended up discovering things you didn’t want to know.] 

Sage: ……….

Robin: [I should’ve taken that secret to the grave but…. It doesn’t seem likely that will happen, so I don’t think it’s worth hiding anymore.] 

Robin: [But, Sage… you have Nico, Bianchi, and Jude, now, right?] 

Robin: [I’m sure the three of you will accept Sage, even if you do learn his secret.] 

Bianchi: Yes….of course… 

Robin: [It’s a little nostalgic to remember three years ago… back then, I was a little worried about what kind of rookies would come in.] 

Robin: [I was often told that you were a bunch of lone wolves, and that you couldn’t cooperate, ….. but I think we made a good team.]

Robin: [The four of you were meant to meet….] 

Jude: Haha, that’s quite a thing to say. 

Robin: [It’s a bit disappointing to think that I won’t be able to see what paths you take or what kind of heroes you become, but….] 

Robin: [Even if you all go your separate ways, I believe you’ll all have one home to return to.] 

Sage: A home to return to….? 

Robin: [Sage. Do you still love New Million and its heroes?] 

Robin: [Are you continuing to sparkle, without losing your shine……]

Robin: [The same Sage that I and everyone else love so much…. Please, never change that part of you.] 

Robin: [Please remain a home for others to return to.]

Robin: [That will probably become Sage’s place as well.] 

Robin: [Even at the very end, I ended up saying something vague again….]

Robin: [But, this isn’t fortune telling. These are the things I truly want to convey…] 

Robin: [Nico, Bianchi, Jude, Sage….. the days I spent with you all were the brightest days of my life.] 

Robin: [Thank you very much for that momentary joy. More than anyone else, I wish for your happiness—] 

[recording ends]

Sage: ……….

Jude: ………

Bianchi: ………

Nico: ………

Jude: Sure left some unusual words at the very end for a sly kitsune bastard. 

Bianchi: Robin was a great mentor…..no matter what anyone says. 

Nico: Yes. For us, he will always be a good person. 

Sage: ……….

Bianchi: Sei-chan. Don’t forget what Robin said. 

Bianchi: Please always remain our home. 

Nico: The only reason our team, disjointed as it was when rookie training began, ever came together so well was because of Sage. 

Nico: Sage connected us. 

Bianchi: Yes, that’s definitely true. 

Jude: I have no objections either. You’re nowhere near as good as Bianchi, but you’ve left quite an impression on me. 

Bianchi: Don’t sound so arrogant. Be grateful for what you've been able to accomplish with this team and these members. 

Jude: Haha, thank you, Sage. 

Sage: You guys…..

Sage: (That’s right. I’m walking forwards.) 

Sage: (Connecting Sensei’s feelings….) 

Sage: (Connecting everyone’s feelings….) 

Sage: Thank you, guys.

Sage (whispered): Thank you, Sensei….. 

Sage: ( —Sensei was my hero, after all.)

Licht: I just hated you…. hic, I was jealous…….

Licht: As long as I could get out of there, it could’ve been anyone….

Licht: Thonis and Eclipse are both dirty and disgraceful….

Licht: If you’re going to be killed anyway, wouldn’t it be better to be killed by your beloved “Sensei” instead of me?

Sage: ……..

Sage: I am….

Sage: It’s true, I can’t do anything alone. 

Sage: Sensei protected me….let me escape from Thonis….I always followed his orders……

Sage: I’m always relying on Nico, Bianchi-san, and Jude-kun too….

Sage: “I feel safe when I’m with you guys…. if we’re all together, things will definitely work out.” 

Sage: The idea that I can’t carve my own path…. 

Sage: I think I’ve been deluding myself into believing I haven’t found a place for myself anywhere. 

Licht: ….What are you talking about?

Sage: Are you listening, Sensei….

Licht: Eh…?

Sage: When I remember that day….the day Sensei passed, it feels as though my own body is getting torn apart. 

Sage: Because I blindly obeyed him, I caused his death. 

Sage: If only I had turned back earlier….if only I hadn’t followed his orders….

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

Sage: ……. Sensei…..? 

Robin: …………..

Sage: Sensei….!

Sage: S-sensei! What are you doing over there—

Sage: To carve my own path, to walk forward, even if I must do it alone—

Sage: From now on, I will walk on my own, carrying Sensei’s feelings on my shoulders….! 

Licht: Wh…..

Sage: Please watch over me, Sensei….

Licht: Where, did this power come from…..

Licht: !? My body… won’t move….? 

Sage: I won’t let you escape. 

Licht: A shadow…is clinging to my legs……

Licht: No… it’s creeping up more and more! 

Sage: It’s alright, don’t be scared…. 

Licht: ….Gh, this! I’ll just show you one more nightmare…
