Tales of the Rays: Mirrage Prison

Chapter 6: The Atoning Hero and Remorseful Chosen (Part 9)

(Part 8) | (Part 10)

Zelos left the party to take Chester back to the Kerykeion, so now Kratos and Sync have gone to look for where Mithos is hiding out. Let's see what they find!

Sync: …According to Caius’ map, Mithos’ shelter should be somewhere around here, right? I haven’t noticed any signs of it. ……カイウスの地図によるとこの辺りにミトスの避難所があるんだろ？それらしいものが見当たらないけど。

Kratos: …He wouldn’t make it easy to find. Mithos and the rest of us were often being pursued during our former travels. ……すんなりと見つかるようには作らないだろう。ミトスと私たちはかつての旅の間ずっと敵に追われていた。

Kratos: He knows exactly how to keep himself hidden. どのようにすれば身を隠せるかはよく心得ている。

Sync: —Hold it. Something’s here. ——待った。何かいるよ。

Kratos: Is that… この気配は……。

[ NOISHE ENTERS ]

Sync: A monster…!? 魔物……！？

Kratos: Noishe!? ノイシュ……！？

Noishe: Fuaaoo… フォーン……。

Sync: …What’s this…weird thing? Is it your pet? ……何、この変な生き物。アンタのペット？

Kratos: Well…he’s something close. まぁ……そんなようなものだ。

Kratos: So, you were exoflected, too, Noishe. Why are you out here, aren’t you traveling with Lloyd? ノイシュ、お前も具現化されていたのか。何故ここにいる？ロイドと一緒ではないのか？

Noishe: *whines* キュウーンキュンキュン……。

Kratos: …Don’t tell me that you’re here with Mithos? ……まさか、ミトスと一緒にいるのか？

Sync: Ha…? What, you can actually talk to this weird thing? は……？何、この変なのと会話できる訳？

Kratos: Noishe is a highly intelligent life form. ノイシュは高度な知能を持つ知的生命体だ。

[ NOISHE WALKS AWAY ]

Kratos: He seems to want me to follow him. 付いてこいと言っているようだ。

Sync: Hmm, this reminds me of Arietta… まぁ、アリエッタみたいなものか……。

[ SCENE CHANGE TO MITHOS’ SHELTER ]

Noishe: Fuaaooo! フォーン！

Mithos: Noishe, don’t be so loud, okay? ノイシュ、大きな声で鳴いちゃ駄目だよ？

Kratos: Mithos… ミトス……。

Mithos: …Noishe must have brought you here. What a meddler. ……ノイシュが連れてきたのか。お前はお節介だね。

Noishe: *bark* ワフ！

Mithos: What do you want? You didn’t come here by coincidence, did you? 何か用？偶然なんてことはないでしょう？

Kratos: We’ve received a message from someone named Aster. Martel is being held at the Tidal Temple. アステルという人物からの伝言を預かってきた。マーテルは海鳴りの神殿にいるとのことだ。

Mithos: ！？

Kratos: Do you know where the Ocean Temple is? お前は海鳴りの神殿の場所を知っているか。

Mithos: …I do. It’s a temple connected to Mercuria’s villa. ……知ってるよ。メルクリアの離宮から繋がる神殿だ。

Sync: You going to head over there and rampage? 行って暴れてくるつもり？

Mithos: Only if someone has happened to my sister. 姉さまに何かしていればね。

Kratos: I’ll go with you. 私も共に行こう。

Mithos: ………。

Kratos: Some extra strength won’t hinder you. 戦力が増えて困ることはあるまい。

Sync: Hey, if you’re going with him, that means I have no choice but to go, too. ねえ、アンタが行くってことは自動的にボクも行かなきゃいけないんだけど。

Mithos: This guy’s coming with us? Won’t he just be deadweight? こいつも来るの？足手まといなんじゃない？

Sync: You tell me. Want to try me and find out? 言ってくれるね。何なら試してみる？

Mithos: Aren’t you a little out of your depth? I could kill you without even lifting my sword. 身の程知らずも大概にしたら？お前なんか剣を使わなくてもすぐ殺せるよ。

Sync: Then go ahead and kill me, Siscon Boy. だったら殺してみせてよ、シスコン坊や。

Kratos: —That’s enough. Sync is highly skilled, Mithos. You haven’t seen him fight yet. ——いい加減にしないか。ミトス、シンクは手練れだ。それがわからぬお前ではないだろう。

Mithos: I was just annoyed about being underestimated by such a small fry. ボクの力も見誤るような雑魚は邪魔だと思っただけだよ。

Sync: —Why you! ——貴様っ！

Kratos: Mithos, Sync, both of you cut it out! Those who possess true power don’t blindly wave it about. ミトス！シンク！やめなさい。本当に力を持つ者は、むやみにそれを振り回したりはしないものだ。

Kratos: In that sense, both of you are still weak. そういう意味ではお前たちは二人とも弱者だ。

Mithos & Sync: ………。

Kratos: —Mithos, may I ask you something? What is this collection of old books here, are you researching something? ——ミトス。一つ尋ねて構わぬか？ここには随分古い書物も集めているようだが何か調べているのか？

Mithos: I’m looking for information about spirits. 精霊について、ちょっとね。

Kratos: Spirits? Does this have to do with Demitrius’s plan? 精霊？やはりデミトリアスの計画に関することなのか？

Mithos: I don’t care what that deadbeat thinks he’s doing. I’m just…concerned. I’m worried that there might be a spirit version of Martel on this world. あんな死に損ないの考える計画なんてどうでもいい。ただボクは心配してるだけ。精霊マーテルの存在の可能性について。

Kratos: A spirit version of Martel? What are you talking about? Martel isn’t a spirit. 精霊マーテル？何を言っている。マーテルは精霊ではないだろう。

Mithos: —So, you don’t know. Mm…yes, all right. You don’t need to know. For now, at least. ——クラトスは知らないんだね。うん……そうだったね。だったら知る必要はないよ。今のところはね。

Mithos: Let’s get going to the Ocean Temple. I’ll bring us there. それより海鳴りの神殿へ行こう。ボクが案内する。

Sync: What about this Noishe thing? このノイシュとか言う変なのはどうするのさ。

Kratos: Noishe isn’t good with monsters. He should stay here. Or… ノイシュは魔物が苦手だ。この家にいた方がいい。あるいは……。

Kratos: No, it’s fine. Stay here and wait for Mithos to return, Noishe. ——いや、いい。ここでミトスの帰りを待っていてくれ。

Noishe: *whines* キューン……。

Mithos: Noishe, be a good boy. ノイシュ、いい子にしているんだよ。

Sync: …What a weird face. You don’t look that intelligent to me. ……変な顔。知恵があるようには見えないな。

Noishe: *barks* ワフン……。

(Part 8) | (Part 10)

[marinerainbow]

A while ago, when I got into the NiGHTS fandom, I offered my own take on Selph- or as I called them, Mirrage. However, that was while I was still new to posting about my own headcannons, storytelling and character design (not that I'm an expert now). Looking back, I don't like how I made the post or described Mirrage's design too much. So here is my reprised post about;

Selph Mirrage the Forgotten

Story

As we all know, Wizeman was not from the world of dreams. A human with an evil heart trapped in a world where creation is life, it was only inevitable what he'd choose to do. However, as a human who didn't hold any one of the ideya, Wizeman needed to find a way to gain more power. Enough to overthrow the guardians and the firsts and create his own empire. The only thing he could do was to use his own black heart to create a whole new entity. One that would obey his command alone, and could deliver him the essence of the people of the night dimension.

That was the cycle that Mirrage was born. The first false nightmaren.

Mirrage was as cunning and cruel as Wizeman himself was. Perhaps even more so. Being created from greed for power and an insatiable lust, the porcelain nightmaren used their power of reflection and their various abilities to destroy all that were obstacles in their masters path. They had to start little by little, feasting on little pixies and beasts before they were strong enough to destroy a guardian. Every defeat, they would give Wizeman the essence of the fallen, and he would grow more unrecognizable and twisted. Though it never seemed to bother Mirrage, and they continued to do as they were told. Until, one fateful cycle, Wizeman became the tyrant we all know, and was able to take control of half of the night dimension; Nightmare.

Mirrage was meant to be his right and left hand. His sword and shield. When Wizeman took the throne, he made Mirrage his second in command, and even general to his growing army, giving Mirrage the luxury of a true first-class nightmaren. Though not out of respect. He knew Mirrage had to have the same desires he held, being born from his own heart. So this was meant to placate the mirror 'maren, until he could find a way to either break Mirrage down or destroy them.

His suspicions were correct, as Mirrage had never been truly loyal to the tyrant. Not even at the beginning. Every celestial and lunar they killed, they took some of the guardians' power for themselves, which prompted them to believe that not only Wizeman wasn't as powerful as he thought, but they could overthrow him themselves and take what they believed was rightfully theirs. After so long of playing the thankless servant, they were ready to face their creator.

However, they had vastly underestimated Wizeman. Not only had he beat them down, but he had prepared their prison for them by now, too; trapping them in the very mirror labyrinth they had created to lure in and confuse their victims- visitor and dream being alike. Stripped of their status and slowly being forgotten in the night dimension, Wizeman believed that Mirrage would never be an issue for him again... Though there was one thing that Mirrage never told him about their little nightmare.

They had found a way to connect their labyrinth with the reflection realm. They were able to travel throughout all of the night dimension, but only through looking glasses, bodies of water, polished metal, and anything else that held a reflective surface. They were not a part of Nightmare or Nightopia; they could only peer into the world that they once called their land, watching time and people pass by and experience everything they took for granted. While they were cursed to only watch.

And all it did was fuel their rage and vendetta against their prisoner. The cycle that they break free will be the cycle that everyone will be reminded of why they are the greatest nightmare to have ever lived.

Character Design

Mirrages appearance hasn't changed much. This is more or less redoing their suit, as well as a few touches.

Starting with their natural appearance, Mirrage is a nightmaren made out of porcelain and is as white as snow. If you touch them, they feel cool and smooth like a doll. However, their body and 'skin' move like they were made of flesh and blood; there are no visible joints connecting their limbs together. When hit, they crack and can even shatter, though they can always magically repair themselves. They're tall, around 7'9 to be exact, and have a very slim and androgynous body type. Though they can change it if so desired. I'm debating whether they have claws, or finger armor like the picture beneath. Maybe both?

Their eyes are rather unique. At least compared to the other nightmaren we've seen. They have a sapphire blue sclera and a bright yellow iris, and the white pupils are in the shape of a four pointed star. They painted their bottom lip gold and they have cat eye lashes, but that's the extent of their makeup on a normal day. They also do not possess a nose or ears like the other nightmaren, but could easily form themselves those features if desired.

Their cowl/horns extend outwardly and down the sides of their head and curve inward, as if framing their face like a mirrorframe. The cowl is midnight blue, with bright yellow stripes going down the horns and silver borders on both sides of all the stripes. I'm considering maybe a silver fleur swirl design within the yellow and connecting to the silver borders as well, though I'm not sure yet. Also, they have golden caps at the tips of their horns with tear drop shaped jewels attached, acting somewhat like earrings. What color they are, I'm currently debating with my friend Marshmallow. I'll be sure to touch up on this post later.

Their outfit I struggled the most with. I'm not the best at designing clothes, but I think I got it. I took inspiration from Balan from Balan Wonderworld and Jareth from Labyrinth. They have a seamless full body suit that is a sparkling midnight blue, with a lacey ivory cravat and frilled cuffs and chained golden buttons lining the breast. The legs of the body suit turn black in an ombre effect and connect to their sharp, black high heels with silver bottoms. The suit tail is a cut in a sharp V shape and reaches down to just a few inches below the knee. And pinned to their cravat is an oval shaped brooch with the same jewel their cowl jewelery is made of. Again, I'll come back to this later.

And finally, their voice. They technically can have any voice they want and can mimic anybody perfectly. However, they have two true voices that they like to switch between at a whim. Their feminine voice claim is Bayonetta from the game by the same name, and their masculine voice claim is the eel from Padak.

Tid-Bits

Their insides are an inky, coagulated mess. If you can strike hard enough, the black goo will drip out of the crevices. You can see a hint to what lies beneath when they open their mouth; it looks just like a black mamba, aside from their perfectly pearly white fangs- that are also porcelain.

They do have a staff. It was taken from them when they were banished, but they'll be able to summon it again once they are free. It is a gold and blue striped staff with a crystal ball balanced within a bejeweled golden hoop at the top. They can extend it long enough to walk with it, or shorten it to the length of a scepter.

Although while they're peering into the night dimension they can't touch anything, they still hold some power in their nightmare realm. If you meet them in the labyrinth, you'll find that their reflection could touch or grab yours, or any other object with you, without physically making contact.

Mirrage is a manipulative silver tongued snake, using whatever trick up their sleeve to gain the upper hand. They'll strike deals, make false promises, intimidate, anything. And they'll find a way to use your own words against you, so you better watch what you say around them.

Being created from a human heart, Mirrage is not a stranger to human desires. Not just for materialistic things, but even companionship. You could use this against them, but only if you plan your cards right. As a trickster, they can recognize a poorly thought out ploy attempting to be played on them, but they did also fail to overthrow Wizeman. Remember that. Just don't remind them that.

Being able to travel mostly unnoticed throughout the night dimension, they know many many secrets. I wouldn't recommend making your confessions near a lake or in front of your vanity if you wish for them to be unheard.

As you might have guessed, they use they/them pronouns and can easily change their appearance if they want to look more feminine or masculine. They don't know the meaning of 'cisgender'. They are whatever they like to be.

Since they aided Wizeman in the genocide of the guardians, that makes them and my OC Prism comnected... I may or may not be planning something with this.

Mirrage both respects and envies NiGHTS. They rebelled while still keeping their freedom. And Mirrage knows that that courage ideya shard must have something to do with NiGHTS turning on Wizeman. They think it might even save them from their prison. The trick however, is luring the little rapscallion into their realm in the first place.

When Wizeman finally falls and Reala takes the throne, Mirrage will present themselves to him, offering to help him become a better ruler in exchange for their status back... Though I'm certain we all know what they must be really planning by now.

Jackle... Is rather entertaining. They sometimes find their way to his guillotine and watch him do whatever he's doing at that moment. As far as they know, the failed first level has no idea about their existence.

The name Mirrage is a pun; combining the word mirror and mirage together to point to their character.

And that's my take two on Selph/Mirrage!! I hope you guys like my take ^^

[talesoftheraysen]

Hi~ Thanks for keeping up the good translation work! Since The Rays is shutting down next month, do you think you might get around to translating more events? I know there's lots of them but you are the only real way I get to enjoy The Rays' events now because I can't read Japanese ;^;

Thank you for the question and your support! I (Seine) as the head translator and editor am going to answer this as myself, so this isn't a reflection of the other members' feelings. I'm also going to just talk about the project as a whole and not just regarding events, because I feel as if I could have articulated things a bit sooner regarding our silence.

Currently, the project is in a bit of a weird place. Most of the members got busy with real life obligations and can't dedicate as much time to the amount of work that goes into what we do as they used to, and some of us moved on from Rays. In truth, I actually translated the next chapter of Mirrage Prison years ago, but things happened and it got put on the backburner indefinitely.

I got burnt out myself and took a long hiatus, but I'm back to wanting to translate for Tales, so ideally, I would love to translate more. I actually have another event in the works right now that I'm pretty excited to get out, and that I think many people have been waiting for (it's still in the drafting phase, so I do ask that you have some patience; events take a number of weeks to get out with how much editing goes into both the translation and videos). Even just in a personal sense, it's still my dream to go through Rays and translate the whole story.

I can't make solid promises on anything, which I apologize for. This project always has been and always will be something that's done at the leisure of its members, and I don't feel comfortable speaking for anyone but myself in regards to how many translations will get out. Thankfully though, even after the game shuts down we'll still be able to record things from it.

[feathersnek]

It's been a crazy year. We finished Mirrage Prison full voice, and started streaming the wild ride that is Recollection every month. We even did some of this art on stream!

It's really thanks to everyone's kindness and support that I have the courage to live translate and have fun with the Rays streams! <3 I took a hiatus from what I loved mid way through, but I'm ready to get back on track next week!

And yet somehow, despite everything, I had art for every month except January! And so much of it was Kocis this year! I normally don't have enough to make one of these at the end of the year, so it's really nice. I'll try to draw even more next year!

Thank you to everyone for chilling with me for streams or otherwise! Here's to a better upcoming year. 🙏Happy New Year everyone.

[pinenappo]

Kocis and Kocis How about that new PV for Tales of the Rays, eh?

[kresnikcest]

The best way to get the maximum impact out of Chapter 15 is to read like a dozen side materials that establish Julius and Ludger’s relationship better than the game itself does and THEN cry

Tales of the Rays: Mirrage Prison

Chapter 6: The Atoning Hero and Remorseful Chosen (Part 8)

(Part 7) | (Part 9)

It's time to see what Chester, Sync, Kratos, Zelos, and Hilda are up to. Last time, Hilda agreed to help the Salvation Front group infiltrate I Pucelle Castle. Let's see how that's going~

Part 8 (Lotus Imperial Villa)

I Pucelle Castle Armory イ・ラプセル城内武器庫

Zelos: Oh, I hope my sweet Hilda is doing all right. I wish we could have stayed together~ ヒル��ちゃん、大丈夫かね。やっぱ俺さまも一緒に行ってあげた��ったぜ～。

Chester: That wouldn’t have worked out. Hilda can pretend to be a messenger, but we’re outright intruders. そりゃ無理だろ。ヒルダは出入りの商人の使いだって顔ができるけど、オレたちは単なる侵入者だぞ。

Sync: Not to mention the traitors among us. しかも裏切り者がいるしね。

Zelos, Kratos, & Chester: ………。

[ Hilda and Caius enter ]

Hilda: Sorry for the wait—huh? What’s with everyone’s expressions? お待たせ——って、何？みんな妙な顔してるけど。

Sync: Who knows. Ignore them, I thought we were meeting with Shing? That’s Caius. さあね。それよりそこにいるのはシングじゃなくてカイウスだよね？

Caius: Shing was summoned by Mercuria, so I don’t think we’ll see him for a while. シングならメルクリアに呼び出されたから当分会えないと思う。

Chester: What for!? どういうことだ！？

Caius: Mercuria is angry about what happened with Mithos. ミトスの件で、メルクリアが怒ってるんだ。

Caius: They let me go after questioning me about what happened, but Shing started to complain about Kohaku… That idiot… オレは事情を聞かれてすぐに解放されたけどシングはコハクの件で色々文句を言っちまったから……。あの馬鹿……。

Chester: Damn it! How are we supposed to help Ami without Shing!? くそっ！シングがいなきゃアミィはどうなっちまうんだよ！

Caius: I think Hilda said we just needed a Soma. Since Shing can’t be here right now, I brought Kohaku’s Soma instead. 確かヒルダの話だとソーマが必要なんだ��?シングはいないけど、代わりにコハクのソーマを持ってきた。

Caius: I didn’t bother asking, so Shing might get angry at me later. But this will help, right? 勝手に持ってきたから、あとでシングに怒られるかも知れないけど、役に立つか？

Kratos: I’m sure this will be helpful. May I hold onto it? きっと参考になるだろう。預からせて貰えるだろうか。

Caius: Sure. Just be careful not to break it. もちろん。壊したりしないでくれよ。

[ KRATOS TAKES THE SOMA ]

Kratos: I promise to be careful. 約束する。

Caius: And…about what you said before about helping me out. Were you being serious? それと……前に言ってた力を貸してくれるかも知れないって話。あれ、本気か？

Zelos: Hmm? Did something come up? ん？何かあったのか？

Caius: Nothing yet… But I’ve got a bad feeling that something’s about to happen. まだ何とも……。でもそうなりそうな気がしてる。

Hilda: It’s about Rubia—her friends were taken from the Warrior’s Hall and declared traitors. ルビア——この子の仲間が反逆者として戦士の館から連行されちゃったのよ。

Hilda: I’ve been investigating where they might be being held and I’ve finally come up with a few ideas. 何処に収容されているのか私の方で調べてたんだけどようやくいくつか候補が挙がってきたの。

Chester: Oh Rubia… damn it! ルビアが……。くそっ！

Kratos: …So you still haven’t found Rubia. ……まだルビアの居場所は特定できぬのだな。

Hilda: No, I haven’t. It’s going to take a little more time to narrow it down. ええ。絞り込みにはもう少しだけ時間がかかりそうなのよ。

Kratos: In that case, take this, Caius. ならばカイウス、これを持っておけ。

Caius: A mirrage…? この鏡は……？

Kratos: It’s a communication device. They stopped working after the Mirror Shift, but this one is back in service now. 通信装置だ。鏡殻変動以降使い物にならなくなっていたがまた使えるようになった。

Kratos: You can use it to contact us if you need help. 必要があればそれを使って我らに声を掛けてくれ。

Caius: …Oh, thank you! ……ああ。ありがとう！

Sync: …*sighs* You’re a real softie. You always go the extra mile, huh? ……はぁ、お人好しだね。ほんとゴクロウサマ。

Caius: Oh, right! Everyone, you should all get out of the castle as soon as you can. Nazar and Tigr are coming soon. そうだ！みんな、そろそろ城を出た方がいい。ナーザとチーグルがこっちに来るって話だ。

Sync: A cheagle—oh, you mean that odd blond guy. I thought you were talking about a particularly ugly monster. チーグル？……ああ、あの金髪の妙な男か。ブサイクな魔物のことかと思った。

Chester: It’ll be trouble if we run into Nazar. ナーザと鉢合わせすると面倒だぞ。

Zelos: Agreed. We should get out of here. What about you, my sweet Hilda? そうだな。さくっと脱出するか。ヒルダちゃんはどうすんのよ。

Hilda: —Can you please stop calling me that? ——その呼び方、いい加減やめてくれない？

Zelos: Eeh~!? How about Madam Hilda, then~? ええ～！？じゃあヒルダ様～！

Hilda: No! ぶつよ！

Zelos: It’s so nice of you to let me know ahead of time before you hit me, Madam Hilda~! ぶつ前に言ってくれるなんて優しすぎ���ぜ、ヒルダ様～！

Hilda: Ah…can one of you do something about this idiot? あー……。この馬鹿何とかしてくれない？

Kratos: My apologies. The Chosen… Zelos just wants to play around with you. すまぬな。神子……ゼロスはあなたとじゃれ合いたいだけなのだ。

Zelos: Why are you saying something like that with such a serious face!? 真面目な顔でそーゆーこというのやめてくれねーかな！？

Hilda: —Anyway! I need to have a few more discussions with Caius about the search for Rubia. ——とにかく！私はカイウスとルビアの捜索についてもう少し打ち合わせしていくわ。

Hilda: You all should go on ahead. あんたたちは先に逃げなさい。

Kratos: …Caius, where is Mithos? ……カイウス。ミトスはどこにいる？

Caius: Mithos? …I think he’s at the shelter he built in the nearby forest. ミトス？……多分近くの森に作った避難所にいると思う。

Sync: What shelter? 避難所って何。

Caius: …Mithos was getting ready to hide Martel there, but she was kidnapped before he could do that. ……マーテルさんを匿うために準備してたらしいんだ。その前に攫われちゃったけどさ。

Kratos: Can you give us its exact location? 詳しい場所を教えてくれ。

Caius: …Well, I’m sure it’s fine if it’s you guys. Here, I’ll draw you a map. ……まぁ、あんたたちなら大丈夫か。今、地図を書くよ。

Kratos: Hilda, I’ll pass on Aster’s message. Is that all right with you? ヒルダ。アステルからの伝言は私から伝えておく。それでいいか？

Hilda: Yes, it’d be helpful if you would. そうね。そうしてくれると助かるわ。

Chester: Wait. I don’t have time to go meet up with Mithos! 待った。オレはミトスに会いに行ってる暇なんてないぞ！

Sync: Then we’ll have Zelos take Chester back to the Kerykeion. だったら、ゼロスがチェスターをケリュケイオンへ送ってやればいい。

Kratos: Will you be coming with me, Sync? シンクは私と共にくるのか？

Sync: Mark will get angry if I leave you alone. アンタ一人残して帰ったらマークが怒るからね。

Sync: Well, I don't particularly care, but listening to him go on and on would be annoying. I’m doing myself a favor by going with you. まぁ、それでもいいけどしつこくくどくど言われるのも面倒だ。アンタに付き合えば義理は果たせるだろ。

Kratos: …Heh. ……フッ。

Sync: …Tsk. What’s with that knowing expression on your face? I've figured out why Zelos hates you. ……チッ。何もかもわかってますって澄まし顔か。ゼロスがアンタを嫌う理由がわかったよ。

Zelos: Ehehehehe. Right? Glad we’ve finally bonded, Synkun. でひゃひゃひやひゃ。だろー？仲間になれて嬉しいよ、シンくん。

Sync: I refuse to be friends with you, Idiot Chosen. アンタと仲間になるのもお断りだねバカ神子。

Chester: …Who cares, hurry up! Ami is waiting for us! ……何でもいいから急ぐぞ！アミィが待ってるんだ。

[talesoftheraysen]

Hello. My deepest apologies if this question has already been asked several times. I've seen a playlist on youtube which contains chapters 1 to 5 of Mirrage Prison translated by your team, as well as another playlist containing the final chapter. I'd like to know if these chapters contain the whole of arc 2 or if there are other chapters between chapter 5 and the final chapter, please.

Mirrage Prison has 12 chapters in all, including the final chapter! We also only have chapters 1-4 up on our channel at this moment; Seine did mention a few weeks ago that they'd done work on drafting chapter 5, but that translation is not finished and will not be publicly available until it is done and subbed.

Feather's Tales of the Rays Nostalgia Journey

We finished arc 1 of full voice! To celebrate, I made a highlight video of our journey! (Major Spoiler warning. We do talk about the other arcs)

Rays means a lot to me, and I love the characters and story with all my heart. We've been doing live sub/TL streams starting from arc 1 to experience full voice and take a look at the story again from the beginning!

I'm an amateur with the language, so I was very nervous and still am, but it's been a blast going through the story again with friends. The script changes and voicing made arc 1 so much stronger too!

Soon we'll be starting Mirrage Prison! I'll have subs for the first few videos, with many thanks to the Tales of Rays English Project team for letting me use their subtitles! But after that I'm on my own.

Feel free to come hang out! My schedule is right over here: https://www.twitch.tv/feathersnek/schedule

If you're unfamiliar with the story, but are interested in checking it out, there are a lot of translations out there, including my summaries of Arc 4 on my own Discord!

[laindir]

Finally took a peek at the new Global Rays update last night and /SOBS...

EVERYTHING LOOKs SO SHINY AWAKENED AND SPARKLING MIRROR FRACTALS EVERYWHERE... too bad the Global server is still meeting its inevitable doom come end of May 2018. And right after giving us this spunky new interface too, and after cramming 1234656 new events/chapters at us for the remainder of Arc I how am I supposed to clear everything in a month?!

Who would’ve known the true Tales traitor of Global Rays was Bamco themselves l o l
