06. The Two Kings[edit]
FX: *footsteps*
Günter: What?! You've been found out already?!
Yuuri: I'm sorry, Günter. He saw right through me over there.
Wolfram: It had to be this henachoko(rookie)...
FX:*approaches*
Saralegui: Majesty Yuuri! Good morning...
Yuuri: Ah, good morning, Majesty Saralegui.
Saralegui: I'm very happy that we can have breakfast together. Please, come in. Let's talk inside.
Yuuri: Yes.
FX: *Door opens and closes*
Yuuri: Hm? AH! You (rude)! Why are you here, you cropped pony!?
Maxine:*struggling to breathe* ...Hhgh... You bastard..... the Mazoku's....
Saralegui: Do not speak in such a rude manner to my guest.
Maxine: ...Your Majesty...Saralegui....
Saralegui: Yuuri, have you met Maxine?
Yuuri: I have. This man, turned Caloria into hell.
Saralegui: Ohh! By the way, when Caloria was at its worst, it received relief from Shin Makoku. I want to express my gratitude on behalf of the appointed ruler of Caloria, Flynn Gilbit. After all, back then, that was still my territory.
Yuuri: Saralegui, what do you think the reason behind the tragedy in Caloria was?
Yuuri (thinking): As the king of this country, you order your retainer Maxine, to open that box, "The End of the Land" , didn't you?
Saralegui: Of course, I know what happened.
Yuuri: If you know, then how could you...!
Saralegui: I'm sorry. Even if everyone knows that if you open the box a terrible tragedy will occur, a few of the more superstitious soldiers, could not fight the temptation of that power. And so, they behaved in such a foolish way, without thinking about the tragedy it would bring.
Wolfram:*whispers* A reckless action of the soldiers....?
Günter: *whispers* It's difficult to believe that, right?
Saralegui: But, it is the weight of the crime that the king must carry, for sensing that something like that could happen and not stopping it. While supervising the entire country, I failed to grasp my people's hearts. This happened because I(informal)... *sighs* I (formal) could not reach them. As a result, the violent soldiers ended up doing such a dreadful thing.... That's what happened, right Maxine?
Maxine: * struggles to speak*
Saralegui: Answer me.
Maxine: It's just as your Majesty has said.
Yuuri: *whispers* For real?
Saralegui: Yuuri, he will also regret his terrible crime now. I will severely punish him accordingly to the tragedy he caused to the Calorian citizens. And it will be best if I make him apologize to you mazoku for all the trouble he has caused you, ne?
Maxine: ... Your Majesty?
Saralegui: Apologize to Yuuri, Maxine... Kneel, reach out for his shoe....
Yuuri: Eh?! And lick it?!
Saralegui: ... and put it on your head.
Maxine: ... Yes....
Yuuri: Ah, I was scared. It was only to put it on his head... Eh!!! Hey, let go cropped pony.
Maxine: The shoe....
Yuuri: You've got the wrong person. The person you should be apologizing is not me. Don't you think?
Saralegui: Ah~, Yuuri! What a fine individual you are!
Yuuri: Eh?
Saralegui: I'm jealous, that the citizens of Shin Makoku have a wonderful king like you! If you compare me to you.... why can't I be like that?
Yuuri: I somehow can't agree... According to Josak, you are famous for being a charisma-boy, right?
Saralegui: Chari-....?[1]
Yuuri: Don't think like that, Saralegui. I mean, c'mon! There's not such a thing as a perfect leader in this world. You shouldn't take everything onto yourself.
Saralegui: Ah, thank you. You really are a nice guy, Yuuri.
Yuuri: Ah... it's , it's not like that...
Saralegui: I can speak frankly with you. Someone! Come and take Maxine away.
Guard: Come!
Maxine: ...Sara... legui....
FX: *door opens and closes*
Saralegui: Yuuri, since we don't have much time, I'll make this short. In two days, I will be leaving this country from Saralegui War Memorial Port.
Yuuri: Eh? And where are you going?
Saralegui: To Seisakoku.
Günter: Mh... you've made all the arrangements already, haven't you?
Saralegui: This is what you wanted to know, right? We wish to establish a diplomatic relationship with Seisakoku, that's why I'm going. If you are so inclined, do you want to come with me?
Günter(formal): We do. / Wolfram (informal): We do.
Yuuri: Wait, that's...! It's rude for you to say something like that...
Saralegui: I don't mind if you come.
Yuuri: Right, of course he ... *pause* Saralegui! You mean it?!
Saralegui: In all honesty, I just wanted Yuuri to come, but if you were to say they absolutely have to, then I'll allow those two to come too.
Yuuri: Sara...~! You really are a nice guy.
Saralegui: Ahaha... not as much as you are, Yuuri.
Yuuri: No, please...~
FX: *someone runs towards the door*
Yuuri: Uh? It's kind of noisy outside....
FX:*door opens*
Conrad: What's the meaning of this?! What are these guards doing here?!
Yuuri: Eh?
Günter: Conrad...
Saralegui: Oh my. I was wondering who it could be, and it turns out it's His Majesty Berard's new favorite.
Guard: Bastard, who are you?!
Saralegui: It's okay. He's Big Shimaron's envoy.
Conrad: People are fighting at the main gate of the inn. What are you doing, King of Small Shimaron?! What's going on? And who are these people?
Saralegui: It's just as you can see Lord Weller, civil war. A very small one. They oppose my foreign policy with Seisakoku, and they're using extreme means to interfere with my departure.
Yuuri: Sara... you knew....
Conrad: Then, Majesty Saralegui, will you just disregard the civil war and abandon the country?
Saralegui: As an envoy, please do not worry. We've long ago anticipated today's insurrection. In fact, we think it's a good opportunity to get rid of the rebels.
Wolfram: We have been dragged into this, huh? King of Small Shimaron...
Saralegui: When the conflict subsides, we will leave. There's a secret tunnel.
Conrad: I will go with you.
Saralegui: Is that an order from His Royal Highness Berard the 2nd, too?
Conrad: If there is a great disturbance in the area, Big Shimaron has the duty to investigate Small Shimaron.
Saralegui: Oh, my, my...
Yuuri: Uh...
Wolfram: Yuuri, get a hold of yourself. You look pale.
Yuuri: Uhn... I'm sorry. I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy...
Conrad: Yuuri.
FX: *running, swords clashing*
Günter: If you take one step closer to his Majesty, I will use my sword on you.
Conrad: Are you serious, Günter?
FX: *sword fight*
Günter: Do you dare to state that you're not a lackey of the enemy? Or is it perhaps that you're Big Shimaron's assassin and are here to target the Maou's life?
Conrad: I had no idea Shin Makoku's delegation would be here.
Günter: And am I supposed to believe.... the words of a traitor like you?!
FX: *sword fight*
Wolfram: .....
Yuuri: Stop.... Make them stop, Wolfram. They'll get hurt.
Wolfram: Who will get hurt?
Yuuri: Both of them! But Günter rarely uses a sword...
Wolfram: If they're serious about this... then they're evenly matched. Though Conrad might be the one in danger...
Yuuri: Eh?
FX: *sword fight*
Günter: I didn't teach you everything I know .... just so you can wear that uniform, the uniform of Big Shimaron!
Conrad: Then why do you raise soldiers? So that they can die a magnificent death on the battlefield?
Günter: I raise them so that they can live in their country, serving the Shinou and his appointed Majesty the Maou faithfully up until their very last moment...
Conrad: And many have done exactly as you wished, right? Hah... Don't be so greedy.
Günter: Why?... Even though I showed you how to be His Majesty's sword and shield... Conrad... you should be by his Majesty side.
Conrad: Those words, my lord teacher, I give them right back to you. Only faithful men are suitable for that job.
FX: *Günter sword breaks*
Yuuri: That's enough!
Conrad: Yuuri...
Yuuri: Are you satisfied now? That's enough, Con... *long pause* Lord Weller.
Günter: Your Majesty! You do not need to protect me.
Yuuri: Don't speak when are not asked to.
Günter: But... do you have any idea how dangerous it was to jump in the middle of a battle like that?
Yuuri: You started this, so don't talk to me with such an arrogant tone, Günter!
Günter:...........!
Yuuri: Even though you're over 100 years old, you are acting like a child! And where do you think this is? This is where two countries are having a summit!
Günter: Yes.... I'm very sorry… your Majesty.
Yuuri: For my subordinate's irreverent offense towards Big Shimaron's envoy, I am painfully sorry.
Conrad: No, we were really just playing around. Please don't worry about it.
Saralegui: That was terribly interesting, ne? Even though I have no idea what happened between the teacher and student, I just really don't want my hard-earned friend to get involved in this. Well now, Yuuri, let's go.
Yuuri (monologue): And like that, while I was still confused about my feelings, we left the inn through a tunnel, and headed towards the Saralegui War Memorial Port, where a ship to Seisakoku was waiting for us. At that time we still didn't know that something like that would happen.

- ↑ Yuuri says "charisma" in English, so Saralegui doesn't understand. But as usual there's a hidden meaning behind the word he didn't get. In this case Saralegui understands the "kari" (仮) part of charisma, which can me temporary, improvised, and fake. Kari can also be (刈) cut, stab. In any case, it's nothing good.
