I’m Coud van Giruet from the Red Lynx sky pirates.

Together with Ren I’m travelling to Edel Garden
which brought me to Torodeire, a town in Volsione.

In Torodeire, the Buffalo festival was at it’s peak

Me and Ren just wanted to relax a bit.

120

But they caught our interest…
sfx Ren; Yours, you mean.

with a flyer for a bunny girl show.

Our hearts leaped, and we hurried to the theatre where the show would be.
sfx Ren: As I said, yours…

But that bunny girl show was a trap to lure us there!
The 12 bunny girls… no, Edel Raids working for Ronburet appeared!

121

We’d have to fight with just
the two of us.

Ron: Listen! About the attribute of an Edel Raid!

sfx Ren; Yaawn

Ron; You there! Don’t yawn during class!!

Coud: Oww!!



122

Ron: You lack concentration!!
You hear? Concentration!!

This guy is Ronburet.
He’s got a connection with Organite, and is after Ren and my life.

123

So... he’s supposed to be an enemy but…
why are we doing this kind of thing…

Coud: Organite…
it’s the same as Viro mentioned…

124

Ronburet:This is your end, Coud!
You can play with bunny girls in the other world!!

Ren’s chanting: Akakaru kokoro
kaze o matoite
chigiri kon!!

125

Ron: Woah!!

bunnies:
Ronburet-sama!
Ron-chan!
Darling!

Ron: …ow…

Ron: It seems the impact of the reaction with a Shichikouhouju is really something…

Ron: But that…

126

Ron: is a Metherlance…

Ron: She has a wind attribute!!
The real thing! I don’t have one of those!!

Coud: Huh…?

bunnies: Oh dear, here he goes again.
It came out…
Ron’s bad habit.

127

Ron: This is great! I’ve never seen a wind attribute Edel Raid.
Oh, I’m so moved!!

Ron: Woah, awesome! The color! This radiance!
Malachite’s best work ever!!

Coud: Hey! Don’t you touch her!!

Ren; I don’t like him…

Ron: First, a picture to remember this day!
Say cheese!

128

Ron: Hey, lend me your ears for a bit.
How about you trade her for one of my Edel Raids?

Coud: Wha?

Ron: Ah, not with these girls,
I have doubles at home.

129

Ron: Because her attribute is so rare I’ll give you three of my girls, ok?
What do you think?
sfx: If you want a certain attribute, tell me.

Coud: Wait a minute!

Coud: What’s a double…
or an attribute?

Ron: What? Don’t you know about the attributes of Edel Raids?

130

Ron: Well, it can’t be helped!
This nice brother will give you some special help!!

Coud: I don’t need it!!

Coud: Who cares about such things?!
Didn’t you come here to fight?!
Coud: Let’s go, Ren!
Ren: Yes, Cou!
Ron: [I have absolutely no idea what he says, can’t even find the word on any website XD So I do some improvisation…] Time out!!


131

Ron: You idiot!!!
This is important!! We can continue our fight later!!

Ron: I’ll explain it all, so listen well and remember it!
This is basic knowledge for a Pleasure!

Coud: I don’t like him… seriously…
sfx: I really don’t like him…

Ron: I can’t stand it! That you’ve worked with an Edel Raid without knowing all this.
I won’t allow such rubbish!

bunnies: Aah… there he goes.
This will take some time…
sfx: poor boy

132

And so it happened…

blackboard: Lecture on Edel Raid Attributes

Ron: Listen, when an Edel Raid is born, she carries an attribute in her core stone.
Depending on that attribute there are various strong points and characteristics.

Ron: It’s said that there are in total 24 attributes, but only 18 of them have been investigated.
Moreover, these attributes can be divided in 4 groups.

133

Ron: These are Edel Raid attribute rings.

First circle (attributes starting above, clockwise)
middle: First Glittering (literally…)

earth – wind – fire – water – tree – wisdom

circle on the left
Second Glittering

beauty – sound - shield – blade – love – void

cirle on the right
Third Glittering

light – darkness – motion – silence – life – death

lowest circle
Fourth Glittering

Ron: This fourth circle is now being researched, so details are not yet known.
It’s also probable that they don’t belong to a ring.

134

Ron: This circle explains the strong point of each attribute. Lileini!

Lileini: Ye~s!

Ron: Explain that of the earth attribute.

Lileini: Ehm, earth is strong against wind, but weak against wisdom, right?

Ron: Correct! Very good! Coud, you’re next.

Coud: Eeeh?! Me?

Ron: Tell me against which attribute that of blade is weak.

Coud: Eeehm… a blade…
a gun, maybe… kind of…

135

Ron: There’s no such attribute in the second glittering!!
sfx: it would be a weird attribute too!

sfx Coud: That hurts!!
Coud: You said there are unknown attributes!! It could be one of those, I’m sure!

Ron: Indeed, six attributes are yet unknown, but
long years of research based on extensive data and old documents have made these 3 circles mostly accepted.

136

Ron: In the second glittering, Blade is weak against the attribute of shield.

Consequently, an attack from a Blade Edel Raid is effective against all types, except Shield.
It’s not that Blade is completely ineffective against Shield’s defence, but it doesn’t do major damage.

<Attribute: Blade>
An offensive attribute. Although it is able to attack almost all other attributes, but it is weak against the defence of the attribute Shield. Against Edel Raids of the Love attribute, it’s attack is very effective.

<Attribute: Shield>
An attribute with better defence than offence . It can resist all attribute’s attacks, but is most effective against the attribute of Blade. It’s offensive power is only weak against Sound.

Ron: If you pay attention to these rules of hierarchy,
you will notice the difference in strength between Edel Raids and use it to improve and intensify the bond with the user.
sfx: By the way, all my girls are equally strong.

Ron: In fact, the attribute also applies to the human Pleasure, it seems each individual has affinity with another attribute.
Things like ones constellation and blood type play a role in this affinity.

Coud: Eh… Is that really so?
Did you know, Ren?

137

Ren: Griina taught me about the attributes when I was small
but I didn’t really listen… sfx: makes me tired

Ron; You! I told you not to yawn during class!!

Coud: Ow!

Ron: Well, that was just the basic stuff on attributes.
For the chapters on practical use, order the textbook.

Coud: Now he sounds like some salesman…

Ron: So, let’s continue where we broke off.
Coud, your Metherlance is a Wind attribute Edel Raid.

138

Ron: Between the Edel Raids, the Wind attribute is very rare.

Ron: Not to mention she’s a Shichikouhouju! It’s impossible to predict her real latent power!

Ron: I’ve used all means to get my hands on all kinds of Edel Raids, but have only half of all 12 attributes… It’s the first time I see a Wind Edel Raid.

Ron: I’ll never get another chance. That is my conviction.

139

Ron: So~ please trade yours for one of mine (my doubles)~
If we do it this way, I’ll spare your life.
sfx: friendly smile

Coud: Ch…

Coud: Don’t joke around!
Collecting and trading,
don’t talk about Edel Raids as if they are things!

140

girl1: Oh, well said boy!
girl2: Still young…

Ron: It’s just a personal view.
Whether you see them as weapons, or gems, or girls. Even the Edel Raids have different views on us humans.

Ron: Don’t you care about your own life?
If you agree with my proposal, you won’t get killed.
sfx: it’s a good deal

Coud: An Edel Raid can react with only one human at a time, right? As long as I live you can’t react with Ren!

141

Ron: What, you know about that?

Ron: Oh well, too bad!!
End of negotiations!

Coud: Ren!!
Ren: Yes, Cou!

142

Ron: An attack from a Wind type! If so, come, Sediya!

Sediya: Yes!

143

girl1: Go for it! It’s your turn, President!!
girl2: Do your best, President!!

Sediya: I’m not your Presidend!

Sediya: Jeez…

Sediya is an Earth type!
Coud: String of Wind!!

144

Sediya: A Wind attack won’t work on me!!
Earth Wave!!

Coud: Ren’s wind got wiped away!?

145

Ron: Did you already forgot what I explained?
It’s an Earth Edel Raid’s strong point to defend against a Wind attack!
So, president, continue the reaction.

Sediya: I’m not a president!

Ron: All I have to do is attack you with all Edel Raids except the one with the Fire attribute.
Who’s up next?

Lileini: Eeh? So I won’t be taking part?
sfx: boooring!

Rereku: Ye~s Ron-chan!
Me ! Me !

146

Rereku: I’m Rereku, a Blade Edel Raid!
My hobby is cooking!

Rereku: But I’m also very sharp, so be careful when handling me, ‘kay?

Coud: Uwaaah!
