DREAM MEISTER & THE RECOLLECTED BLACK FAIRY

YMIR CHARACTER CARD #1

━

People from all around the world visit the extravagant and thrilling Primus Club casino. I am currently working there as the Guild Keeper, busy preparing activity reports for submission to the Federation.

EMMA : (Sigh...I'm so tired...I shouldn't have let this pile up like this...Even if it has been hectic...)

While struggling to keep my drowsiness at bay, I check several days' worth of business reports to complete the activity report. 

EMMA : Oh!

In a moment of carelessness, my elbow hits the inkwell and it spills all over the activity report. I momentarily turn pale until I realize that the ink didn't bleed from the fallen bottle onto the paper.

EMMA : (Ah, that's right. I was running out of ink. I need to go to the storage room to get some...)

As I let out a sigh of relief, I hear a devious chuckle coming from behind me.

YMIR : You seem flustered. How cute~

EMMA : Ymir!

YMIR : You're working late again. You know, that's not good for your health, Emma~

EMMA : I know, but I need to finish this quickly. Sorry, if you'll excuse me, I need to go to the storage room for a moment.

YMIR : There's no need for that. Here, I've got it for you.

EMMA : Oh, that's the exact ink I need...? You brought it for me?

YMIR : You've been using so much of the red ink, I thought you might run out soon.

EMMA : Huh...You pay close attention to details...

YMIR : I brought something else you might need right now, too~

With that, Ymir placed a mug on my desk. The scent of sweet coffee wafts through the air, instantly making me feel more at ease.

EMMA : I...Was thinking about making a coffee...Thank you.

YMIR : Hm...?

EMMA : (He's so close to me...)

EMMA : Um...Ymir? You're sitting really close to me...

YMIR : Your complexion doesn't look very healthy. That's why I worried about you. I know you're a hard worker, but you should take a break. Have some coffee and relax a bit. I added extra milk, just the way you like it~

Ymir always cares for me like this. But according to the other members...

-FLASHBACK-

LEN : Huh? Ymir is being nice to you? He's gotta be up to something shady! He's probably just trying to get on your good side so he can take advantage of you or something!

LEN : You're the Guild Keeper with some kinda weird power. He'd do anything if it helps him get ahead.

LEN : He's gotta be expectin' something in return. He's the kinda guy who'd do anything to climb the ladder.

-END FLASHBACK-

EMMA : Um...Ymir, even though I appreciate your concern, there's no need to go this far...

YMIR : I know you're worried that I might expect something in return for my compassion, but that's not the case. We're colleagues, and I genuinely want to take good care of you.

EMMA : (His smile is making my heart race...)

In an attempt to calm my racing heart, I take a sip of my coffee and gently place the mug on the desk. Then, I hear Ymir's voice once more. 

YMIR : Hey, you were gripping that mug pretty hard just now, weren't you? Hmm~ Your face is also a bit red.

EMMA : Huh? 

YMIR : How about I give you a little massage? Your muscles must be tense. You need to relax~

EMMA : Oh, no, I...!!

His delicate yet strong digits gently massage the muscles of my hand and wrist, their touch only further speeding my heartbeat. 

This is the daily life I live with Ymir at the Primus Club.

KING’S GAME YMIR CARD #1

━

The cheerful chatter of men's voices echoed through the lavishly decorated hall. Tonight was the annual Bloody Lady's party, a grand get-together of connected families from the underworld. EMMA : (I know they're all from allied organizations, but still.... This sight is overwhelming.) YMIR : Are you nervous? EMMA : A little. YMIR : Yeah, it's impossible not to be nervous at a party full of people from the underground. EMMA : But as a representative of the Primus Club, I’ve got to stay strong!

YMIR : I feel like I'm being used by Camus, but I suppose there are some perks. I can escort you around, so here, take my hand. EMMA : Thank you. Ymir escorts me slowly down the beautiful marble staircase. EMMA : As expected from the Bloody Lady's sponsor, it's absolutely gorgeous! YMIR : I heard this old castle belongs to royalty. EMMA : Royalty!? YMIR : Yes. However, significant payment is required  for us to be able to do whatever we want with the interior. Suddenly, I feel Ymir’s arm wrap itself around my waist, right as a pair of men pass right on by. YMIR : Are you okay? EMMA : Yes, thank you Ymir. YMIR : I'm glad to hear it. Emma, what's wrong? EMMA : I was wondering how much longer you were going to hold me by the waist. YMIR : For as long as necessary? Do you hate it? EMMA : I don't know about hate - But, I do think you should take your hands off me. YMIR : Heh, okay, I get it. However, you should keep your arm in mine, especially in a place like this. Let me make sure you're not in any danger. EMMA : (I still can't figure out how serious he is about this.) With a small sigh, I walked alongside Ymir. MALE CUSTOMER 1 : I can't believe he's bringing a woman with him. MALE CUSTOMER 2 : He's certainly not her escort if he brought her here. I feel sorry for that girl, poor thing got cheated. EMMA : (If I can hear them, Ymir must be able to hear them too......) YMIR : Yeah? What? Why are you staring at me? EMMA : Oh, I wasn't staring! Anyway, Victor and Len got here first, right? We should go join them. YMIR : Yeah, Victor should be right over there. VICTOR : Emma~ I've been waiting for you! Let's have fun together! EMMA : Victor! LEN : You're so fucking loud. You don't have to shout like that every time, you know? We can hear you. VICTOR : This is the perfect amount of enthusiasm! Emma is not just another "companion" for Ymir, she's one of us! EMMA : Ah, thank you, Victor! LEN : I don't give a shit about some loser. You'd be a fool to want to date her. YMIR : What a load of crap, midget. I'll let your snide remarks about me go, but I'll have you know, I'd be more than happy to call Emma my girlfriend. I've tried to hit on her so many times, but she never reacts. It's boring. EMMA : I'm sure that's what you say to all your customers. YMIR : It is my job to keep them engaged, that is true. But, my words to you are not just for monetary gain, nor for the sake of flirtation. I mean it. EMMA : (Yeah, well, if he was really that serious, I doubt he’d be able to say it so casually.)
