Pg. 4
Aston - I'm not done with you yet,
Asbel.

Asbel - What now?
Isn't that enough already, dad?

Pg. 5
Aston - ...If you're already a grown-up, you should already understand
that being on the higher ground comes with corresponding amount of responsibility.

Asbel - You can't protect anyone with that.
Frederick - Sir Asbel...

Asbel - [Responsibility...]
Aston - You lack the quality of becoming the next feudal lord of Lhant!

Asbel - For God's sake!
Dad just loves to lecture!
Hubert - It's because you told him that you want to become a knight.

Asbel.
Asbel - ...What?
== Hu-hu called Asbel as "Niisan" btw. :p

Pg. 6
Hubert.
Hubert - It's commonplace that father will get angry.

Asbel - Are you telling me that I'm not allowed to talk about my dream?
Hubert - It's not like that.
You're supposed to be the next feudal lord of Lhant...

Asbel - [I like Lhant very much...]
I don't want to become a lord like what dad said.

I want to become stronger,
and for that, I want to be a knight of the Kingdom of Windol.

Pg. 7
Hubert - You always oppose father, yet you seem to really like that sword.
[It's his, you know?]
Asbel - Wh-...
Who cares!

[The sword that can't be drawn, probably from its age.]
[But one day,]

[when I become strong enough to draw it...]
Hubert - Waah.
A-A-A monster!

Asbel - Alright!
Time to show my true power!

Pg. 8
Hubert - Th-...There!

Asbel - Nice one, Hubert!
[The time I have enough power to draw this sword,]

[will mean I've obtained the power I wished for.]

Asbel - [No one can win us brothers!]

Hubert - Is it alright to go deeper...?
Father did say not go enter the Lhant Hill...

Asbel - Didn't you want to see the scenery of the place we're heading to, too?

Plus, I'm already eleven.
I'll go wherever I want to go!

Hubert - Wa...Wait for me, Asbel...

Pg. 9
Whoa...

Asbel - This is amazing...
Hubert - "The place where flowers only bloom once a year" does really exist...

Look. This flower can only be seen in this time of the year.
Asbel - [You sure knows a lot, Hubert.]

Hubert - Asbel, look...!
Asbel - What's it?

Pg. 10-11
[A girl...!]
Why is she sleeping here...?

Pg. 12
Sophie - ...I heard a voice.

Asbel - What?

Sophie - I had been one with this place,
and was sleeping here.

Then I heard your voice,
and woke up.

Hubert - I wonder where she come from.
I've never seen her before.
Asbel - What's your name?

Pg. 13
Asbel - Oh, umm...

I'm Asbel Lhant.
Hubert - I'm his brother, named Hubert.

Sophie - Name...?
My...
name...

Asbel - Huh...?
Hubert - Umm...then
where did you come from?

Sophie - Where...
Hubert - Co-...Could this
possibly be...

Pg. 14
[amnesia...!?]
What to do, Asbel?
Asbel - Well, guess we should head back to Lhant first...

Huh?
Where did she go?
Hubert - Asbel! Over there!
She's going toward the cliff!

Asbel - Stupid!
Don't get near the cliff. It's dangerous!

Pg. 15
Sophie - Dangerous...?
Asbel - You won't just get injured if you fall down there!

Get it?

What's wrong?
You like the flower...?

There.
You can take one with you.

Pg. 16
She's that amazed at the flower?

Asbel - So, we're back to Lhant now.
What should we do next...?

Cheria - Hey, Asbel! Hubert!

Asbel - Cheria!
Cheria - You two went off to the flower field at Lhant Hill without me, did you!?
Don't move from there!

Pg. 17
Ugh...

Asbel - Hey!
Are you alright, Cheria?

I'm sorry.
Hubert - You're not well, so don't push yourself too hard, Cheria.

Asbel - Can you walk?
I can carry you if you want.
Cheria - I...I'm fine.

Since you're no good as a horse.
Asbel - [Well, sorry 'bout.]

Pg. 18
Cheria - Oh, isn't that
the Closophie!?
Asbel - Huh? Yeah...

Cheria - Di-...Did you...
pick that up...for me...?

Hubert - We better just go with her flow.
Asbel - Oh...ummm, yeah!!

Cheria - Alright,
I'll forgive you since you gave me this.

Eh?
You're giving me flower too?

Th-...Thanks.
You really pleased me.
Sophie - Pleased...

Pg. 19
Cheria - But who's this girl?
Asbel - Well, she seems to have an amnesia...

Cheria - Really!?
That must be tough on you.
Frederick - Open the path, Cheria.

Cheria - Grandpa.
Lord Aston.

Hubert - What's the matter, father?

Aston - Asbel, Hubert,
I've received news from the Kingdom.

Pg. 20
The son of His Royal Highness will be staying in this town for a short while.
We're about to go welcome him...

so be sure to be very well conducted,
get it, Asbel?
[Me again...]

Asbel - Sir Asbel, who may this woman be?
She doesn't seem like a person of Lhant...

Frederick,

this girl has an amnesia and can't remember where she's from.
Frederick - Oh my...
Cheria - You don't know her too, grandpa...?

Aston - ...Alright,
I'll make an arrangement to the municipal office.

Asbel - You mean you're going to leave her with them...?

Pg. 21
Aston - I believe that's the quickest way to find her identity.

That would make you feel better too, wouldn't it?

Asbel - [Is it better to leave it to "adults"...?]

Sophie - I...

will...
Asbel...

I'll be
with Asbel...

Aston - What is the meaning of this, Asbel?

Pg. 22
Asbel - [This girl...]

["Responsibility"...huh...]
No need for the arrangement,
dad.

I'll take responsibility and find out who she is myself!

Hubert+Cheria - Eeh...!?

Aston - Don't be stupid!
How are you, a kid, supposed to take care of a person?

Pg. 23
Asbel - What the!?
Frederick - Lord Aston.

It's about time.

Aston - ...Asbel,
I'll talk to you on that later.

Asbel - ...What's with that?

[Yet, he's always so picky about making me...]
[into "a man who works toward responsibility.]
That pissed me off.

Hubert - As-...Asbel.
Cheria - You're serious about that?
Asbel - Of course, I am!

Don't worry. I'll work something out for sure.
Sophie - Alright.

Pg. 24
Cheria - I can't believe this...
Asbel - [Alright!]
Now that everything's all set, we got to give her a name!

Hubert - Yes. We'll have some hard time if she doesn't have a name...
Asbel - Ummmm.

[I got one!]
[How 'bout]
[TIGER FESTIVAL!]
Cheria - [Are you stupid?]

Hubert - Um...Umm.

How about using a flower's name?
We first met her at the flower field after all.

Asbel - Oh yeah...
What's that flower's name again, Cheria?
Cheria - Eh? It's Closophie...

Asbel - Closophie, hm...
...Got it!

Pg. 25
Your name is "Sophie"!

Cheria - Sophie...
That's a simple name to say.
Hubert - It's a really good name.

Sophie - Sophie...
Asbel - What'd you think?
Do you like it?

Sophie - I'm...
Sophie...

Asbel - Nice to meet you again, Sophie.
** Next chapter, the new meeting awaits them. **
