✦✧ 【Announcement】

Two wizards—one a daydreamer, the other rash but firm—have found themselves in a peculiar situation; they must retrieve a lyre from a bar in the West...

Here's a preview of the SSRs you'll be able to obtain by participating in the upcoming Sonatina event!

Mitile: Okay! Now we just have to let them cool, and the chocolates are done! Nice work, Riquet— Ahaha! You’ve got chocolate all over your face. …Oh, sorry, I wasn’t making fun of you. I think it looks cute. Here, I’ll wipe it off for you, so stay still.

Lennox: I received so many chocolates today. Rutile and Mitile wanted to show their affection for me, and Doctor Figaro wanted to express his gratitude for putting up with his hangovers. It’s nice to know they care so much.

Rutile: Wow, did you make these chocolates for me?! The icing is shaped like a feather pen! Thank you so much. Hehe, if you keep going like this, I might just fall for you.

Figaro: The twins gave me some chocolates earlier, saying they’re “full of love for their dear apprentices”. I don’t know how I feel about getting love from them, and the chocolates are ridiculously sweet too, but I suppose it’s the thought that counts.

Rustica: The manor is buzzing with excitement today, and it appears you’re no exception. Perhaps this is a sign that a thrilling romance awaits in your future. Would you be so kind as to let me take part once it begins?

Chloe: So in your world, there’s friend, devotion, and obligation chocolates…? That’s so much to keep up with! Out of curiosity, which one did you give me? “Special Chloe-Thank-You Chocolate”? Aww, that’s so sweet!

Murr: Ooh, aren’t you looking nervous today, Master Sage? Got someone on your mind? Is it me? Or perhaps, someone else? No, don’t answer! It’s more fun to keep it a surprise!

Shylock: This bouquet of roses is for you, Master Sage. They’re enchanted to reflect one’s sincere emotions When presented with love, the petals will change colour and bloom beautifully. Now, will you accept my heartfelt thanks this Valentine's Day?

Nero: Phew… Oh, hi, Sage. Earlier, the Northies stormed the kitchen an’ demanded ‘I hand over all the chocolates if I valued my life’. …’Course, they scrammed as soon as I did. …Good thing, I hid the good stuff before they came. I’m glad your chocolates are safe.

Heathcliff: I wanted to thank the other Eastern wizards for everything they do for me, so I made them some chocolates. It was a little embarrassing, but they seemed to appreciate it, which is a relief. Now, all that’s left are the ones for you. Thank you for all your support.

Shino: If Heath were to give me chocolates, I want them to be the obligation ones. …What’s so funny? Heath’s always going on about his duties and obligations, so he’s gotta be an expert at that, right?

Faust: I thought I smelled something sweet down here. I didn’t expect to find you making chocolates for everyone. …It was supposed to be a surprise? My bad. I won’t tell anyone, and I’ll do my best to act shocked when you hand them out.

Bradley: I don’t normally touch that sweet stuff, but ya picked these out especially for me, yeah? That makes it worth all the gold in the world.

Owen: You’re handing out chocolates today, right? Why, of course, I remember. You’ve worked oh-so-hard for this, after all. How about I lend you a hand and taste-test those for you?

Mithra: You want to melt this bowl of chocolate? It’d be done in an instant if we use the steam from the Ridge of the Crimson Lotus. Shall I take us there now?

White: I’ve received the most splendid batch of chocolates from my dearest Snow! First, I was summoned to the courtyard where he nervously approached me from behind. Oh, how his bashful face made my heart race… Hohoho, what fun that was!!

Snow: I’ve made the sweetest batch of chocolate for my dearest White, and a most ingenious plan to give it to him. First, I will send him a letter inviting him to the courtyard. Then, I will appear behind him as a surprise… Hohoho, what fun that will be!

Riquet: …Is this for me? Wow, I got you chocolates, too! I can’t believe we had the same idea! Is this what people call “mutual attraction”? Lord Snow taught me that phrase. It means we share the same feelings, right?

Cain: How’s the chocolate, Master Sage? Ahaha, glad to hear you like it. Seeing your cute smile makes that hour-long line worth i— Ah, whoops! I didn’t mean to mention that in front of you. I’ve got an image to maintain, y’know?

Arthur: …Hmm, it’s still too sweet. Since these chocolates are for Master Oz, I’d like them to be more on the bitter side. …Master Sage, could I ask for your opinion? Ah, my apologies. Your hands are full of washing the dishes. In that case, let me do it for you. Say “Ahh”.

Oz: That chocolate is bitter, Sage. It is not for children. Take these sweet ones instead. …You are not a child? How old are you again? …I would still consider that a child.

✦✧ Translation Note

MItile: Happy birthday, Mister Murr! The love stories you tell me are always really weird, but kind of romantic in a way. …Wait, you want to hear one of my love stories in exchange? T-That’s private information!

Lennox: For his birthday, Murr decided to cast a spell on me, so I’d have to smile all day. He said something about ‘testing the impact of expressing only one emotion on personal identity.’, but I have to wonder if this really counts as a birthday present.
