Chapter 14: Butterflies of Magic

[2]

1: This will do...

2: Saza.

3: Are you done shopping?
4: Yeah.

5: Uh, what's THAT...?
6: Hm? // This?
Text: To stop the war, to learn about himself, they set off to meet one of the Three Sages... But first, some shopping.

7: This, well... Something like a staff.
8: Staff?!

9: Something I didn't know about again...
10: Well, so I say, but it's specialised for riding on.
T/N: So tempted to translate that as 'surf'...

[3]

1: Riding?
2: Yup.

3: There... we go.

4: I'm gonna have my hands full holding you and the squirt up while flying.

5: Aah, but if you hug the chibi and I hold onto you, then I'll have a hand free.
6: Er... no, that's a little...

7: Well, anyway, climb on behind me.
8: Ah, // okay.

9: Is this all right?
10: Yeah.

11: Sah-shu.

[4]

1: Let's go,
2: Our destination is the lake that straddles the countries' borders!

3: Yeah!

[5]

1: The Parnoas and Ruwell armies are probably facing off somewhere close to the lake that sits between the borders.

2: Armies need water, so it's difficult to think of anywhere else besides here. // There are only a few of us, so if we fly we should be overtake them.

3: The Butterflies of Magic are there as well?
4: Probably yeah.

5: Right then, // if that's the case, then there's something I need to get first.

6: Aah, yes,
7: My driving's kinda bad so watch out.
8: Driving?

[6]

1: Waaaaaahhh...

2: Saza, we're slanting! We're slanting!
Lit: Saza, horizontal! Make us horizontal!
3: Hahaha, you're gonna fall!

4: Y-you better pick us up if we fall off!

[7]

1: That lake?
2: Yeah.

3: T- // There's a lot of people there!
4: Are they the Butterflies of Magic?

5: No, // They're the Ruwell army.

6: The Butterflies of Magic should be there.

[8]

1: They're a lot fewer than the Parnoas or Ruwell armies.
2: It's a sign of their confidence.

3: Because their motto is one of 'few but elite'.

4: Jio, hoist up the blue cloth there.
5: Ah, okay.

6: What does the blue cloth mean?
7: It's signalling that we're not enemies and we have no hostile intentions.

8: But they'll probably get suspicious of us since we've come from the sky, // So let's head down.
9: Okay!

[9]

SFX: glide

1: Um, // We're...
2: Stop.

SFX: crackle

SFX: rumble

3: Leave at once.

[10]

1: ...As you can see, we harbour no hostile intentions.
2: Rather, we've come to assist you with the battle against Parnoas?

3: There is no need. // Leav...
4: Wait.

5: Let them in.

6: He's...

7: Powerful...!
8: Is he one of the Three Sages, Sheriano Verseish?!

9: It is Lord Sheriano's order.
10: !!

[11]

1: Come.

2: ...

3: Lord Sheriano, I have brought them here.

4: Oh my, my my my, what cute little children.

5: Pleased to meet you.

[12]

T/N: YES, she's a woman and I'm using Lord. There are certain women who use 'Lord', however few they are, and her gender's supposed to be a secret until this page. Of course, I'm open for gender-neutral suggestions.

1: I am Sheriano Verseish.

2: A woman...!
3: Not to mention, she's young...!

4: ...Is the name Sheriano Verseish one that has been passed down the generations?

5: Passed down?

[13]

1: No,
2: I have been the only Sheriano Verseish these few centuries.

3: Immortality...?

4: ?!

5: I simply age at a different speed.
6: Moreover, I am not immortal.

7: I'm different from you...
8: Prince of Redai-Sorros.

[14]

1: So you know.

2: You're famous.
2 text: hehe

3: Next then, // The little boy there, a question, if I may?
4: Um,
4 text: Me?

5: That hat and cloak...

6: Do they not belong to Iregaura Rehutas?

7: !

8: ...Yes, // They do!
9: So she really does...

[15]

1: Know Iregaura...!
2: Really...

3: So those rumours of that child's death... // really were true...

4: There are things we'd like to ask about Iregaura as well.

5: But that's not all.
6: We'd like to give you a hand with the battle against Parnoas.

7: Oh goodness,

8: There's no need for that.

9: ...
10: Why?

11: Why?

[16]

1: It's obvious
2: Just by looking at me, right?

3: !!

4: Excuse me, Lord Sheriano.

5: The Parnoas troops are presently approaching.
6: Oh, is that so.

7: Watch, my boys.
SFX: rustle

[17]

1: And see what a butterfly's dance looks like.

2: ...That's some amazing magic, she's many times more stronger than I am...
3: ...Yeah.

4: ...But, what're your thoughts?

5: Think Sheriano's stronger than that masked man?

[18]

1: I think that woman's stronger.

2: However...

3: That's assuming te magical power of the masked person... we felt back then...
4: Wasn't his full strength... though...

Text: Next issue... The decisive battle!
