Murr: It’s Bradley’s speciality — reinforcement magic! Wow, I’ve never witnessed this move at its ultimate stage!

Shylock: Shooting someone in the chest at close range like that...... Requires an incredible amount of trust.

Faust: If you rush in headlong, I will knock you out with magic and carry you around over my shoulder.

Shino: Sure. But if you’re being too apprehensive, I’m going to follow my own orders. Got it?

Faust: Absolutely not. Stop replacing my judgment with your own.

Heathcliff: (I was about to bump into him, so I ended up speaking to a stranger.... The City of Rain has many laws — I think this might be a public area where private speech is banned. Thank goodness the officers didn’t catch me....)

Faust: Then why didn’t you go with the others to buy wine? You probably would have enjoyed yourself more.

Nero: Not gonna lie, I was tempted. It’s got some pretty famous wines ‘n all, but I dunno about that crowd, y’know? This group’s way more…peaceful.

Nero: Have you never fought a Western wizard? They make things impossible. You’re supposed to be k!lling each other, yet before you know it, you’re swept up into a romance.

Shino: What does that even mean?

Heathcliff: That’s horrifying......

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Shino: Anyone know how many of these flowers we can take back? I wanna show Heath, I bet he’d like the detail in ‘em.

Matthew: Why of course, Shino boy! The moment you picked up that lily it became yours to keep.

Shino: Yay.

Figaro: At least he tried to act like he didn’t know anything about it, just to make them happy.

Mitile: I’m really glad Mister Faust looks happy.

Rutile: And I’m sure that happiness is no mere act.

Akira: (...)

Faust: Ah, you still can’t read our language. Your seat’s that one over there.

Akira: T-Thank you!

Rustica: It appears that today is Nero’s birthday. I’ve noticed that he always seems to keep his distance when interacting with others. And yet, others can’t seem to leave him be. I’m sure it’s because everyone here loves him so dearly, they wish to be even closer to him.

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Faust: Sage, I think I’ll tell Nero what’s going on. I don’t expect that to have any effect on anything, but.... I want to avoid keeping secrets from him.

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Faust: I mean you need to take a step back and observe yourself with a composed eye.

Heathcliff: That might be hard for Shino.....

Shino: I do it just fine.

Heathcliff: You do not.

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Nero: Right now, the two of you are together. And so long as you’re together, you feel like you’re invincible. You stay up on an all-night watch and share everything delicious you find. That’s all it takes for you to feel happy.

Boris: Sorry to say this when you’ve come so far, but I’ll be damned if I beg wizards for their help. Wizards can’t be trusted. If we just let them in, who knows if they’ll just trash our hunting grounds?

Shino: What did you say?

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Heathcliff: I’m sorry, I’m just always worried about whether I’m judging things correctly…but you’re right, I need to be more decisive.

(Figaro) Now I just needed to focus myself on healing Faust. His body was riddled with wounds. It was like someone had used him in place of a straw doll for a curseworking ritual.

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Outside the window, the morning sky was starting to get brighter.

The brilliant red glow of sunrise was layered over the clear and solemn azure of night.

These colors, those of eternity, were the same as those of their eyes.

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Nero speaks quietly, as if trying not to disturb the slumbering night. We listen intently so his words don’t disappear into the darkness.

Nero takes a sip from his glass with each line, draining his glass in no time. Gripping the glass, he smiles sardonically.

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Heathcliff: Hey, be polite. Mr. Faust is our teacher.

Shino: I haven’t learned a single thing from him. Besides his name.

Faust: And I haven’t been paid for any services.

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Nero: Yeah. So let’s use these for now.

Faust: What are these?

Nero: A counterfeit certificate and permission form. I made them with magic.

Faust: .........You.....

[valley of snowstorms ❄️ @easternwizards]

Faust: I guess that kind of toughness and willpower are strengths of (Shino’s).
