12. Savior[edit]
Saralegui: *laughs* You really are full of surprises, Yuuri. I can't believe you'd ask me for a favor.
Yuuri: It's not a favor, it's a exchange. That's because I don't want to owe you anything, you know?
Saralegui: But right now, this is just your unilateral wish, right? Because I still haven't decided what I want in return.
Yuuri: Hurry up and decide.
Saralegui: *chuckles* Ah, you're right...
Yuuri (monologue): The day after the riots at the oasis, I formed a bold escape plan, grabbed Saralegui and made a deal with him. To sum up, in order to stop the problematic desert's hegemonic equestrian tribe from causing any more trouble at the oasis from now on, I came up with the ultimate "clean hit"[1] co-op plan.
Saralegui: But that's quite a daring move, ne? For you to want to trick the equestrian people like that...
Yuuri: It's not a trick, because everything in Seisakoku's territory belongs to the Emperor. So this is just to make them realize that they cannot do whatever they want.
Saralegui: That's why I'm saying that to do that, I have to pretend to be Yelshi.
Yuuri: "It's something that twins want to try and do at least once", right?
Saralegui: But if the impersonation is discovered, the one Yelshi will be mad at, will be me, right? The compensation for this has to be something huge.
Yuuri: Have you decided ?
Saralegui: Mmmmh.... a life, perhaps?
Yuuri: A life?
Saralegui: Yes, the life of one person would be a good trade.
Yuuri: Whose life?
Saralegui: Isn't it obvious? First I'll make them stay a while in Small Shimaron as a visitor, ne? And once there, I'll think in detail about what types of games we'll play.
Yuuri: That's why I'm asking, whose.... ?
Saralegui: Yuuri... I can see the shadow of people ahead. It's the equestrian people.
Yuuri: Uh... how many are there?
Saralegui: Maybe five or six people... I wonder which tribe they belong to. What shall we do? Fight? Are you going to show them the amazing majutsu you used last night?
Yuuri: I'm not going to do something so reckless again. Let's obediently allow them to capture us. Listen, Sara. If something bad happens, you just start acting like Yelshi from the start.
Saralegui: I understand. But what are you going to do?
Yuuri: Ah... uhm...
Saralegui: I know. What about saying that you're a foreign boy who works for me? That way it will also be easier for you to act according to the close relationship that we have, right?
Yuuri: I have a pretty good idea of what you think of me, Saralegui.
FX: *horse neighs*
Yuuri: As expected, the character setting was a failure. Everything went well and we could infiltrate the equestrian tribe's base and we were LUCKY because the plan of using Sara as a double was successful but, you know? They only invited him as the guest of honor to the tribe's dinner party.... that's kind of harsh, isn't it? Ahhhh.... if this was going to happen it would have been better if I had been Emperor Yelshi's foreign friend instead. Ahhh! I'm hungry...
FX: *Yuuri wanders into a tent. Remember he's blind so he's just touching stuff to figure out where he is*
Yuuri: Ah... this... tent? It seems to be pretty big. I wonder if they have stockpile food or if they're hiding anything to eat around here...
FX: *stumbles*
Maxine: *grunt*
Yuuri: Crap! I just kicked something... Eh? A voice? Did something at my feet just grunt?
FX: *starts touching*
Yuuri: What's this? It's like a big piece of luggage and it's kinda soft...
Maxine: *grunt*
Yuuri: An animal? In a place like this... ? Ah! Maybe it's a pig.
Maxine: *grunt*
FX: *someone enters the tent*
Yuuri: Ah! What's that? Suddenly there's a delicious aroma in here.
Adalbert: Hey!
FX:*Yuuri's stomach growls*
Yuuri: Ah... I'm so hungry...
Adalbert: Hey, boy.
Yuuri: Eh? I'm so hungry I'm starting to imagine things...
Adalbert: Why are you here?
Yuuri: EH..? Is that the voice of (American Football)Macho... Adalbert?
Adalbert: Who else could it be but me? Hey, where are you looking while you're talking to me?
Yuuri: Ah.... uhm...
Adalbert: Boy, no way... you can't see? Why?
Yuuri: That's what I'd like to know... Ohh! *kicks Maxine*
Maxine: *grunt*
Adalbert: That guy is... well... a living creature. Don't kick it. Just leave it be.
Yuuri: Ah, I'm sorry. Is it some sort of livestock animal?
Adalbert: No, you can't eat it even if your cook it. But since I can't throw it away, I just leave it here.
Yuuri: Eh? *Yuuri's stomach growls*
Adalbert: Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?
Yuuri: *like a puppy* Uuunn! (Yeah!)
Adalbert: Don't make that puppy face~ Hehehe. Alright, sit down.
FX:*Yuuri sits down*
Adalbert: When you can't see, using utensils is bothersome, right? It might be a little rude, but you can use your hands to bring the food to your mouth.
Yuuri: Using my hands?
Adalbert: If the refined Assistant to the King were to hear about this he might be so angry he'd get a runny nose, but this food is more delicious when you eat it with your hands. I, who made this, can confirm that.
Yuuri: Then, let me take you up on your offer. Thanks for the meal! *starts eating* MMMmmm! MMMMmm! It's delicious, chef![2] *keeps eating*
Adalbert: *laughs* However I wonder what you'd think if you heard about the rare ingredient that's in this. Meat is meat, but this one used to be a mazoku sheltered boy[3].
Yuuri: *coughs* Ingredient?
Adalbert: It's a "rare animal" with black hair and black eyes from the West, a novelty that is supposed to grant you immortality. You know about this, right?
Yuuri: The "rare animal" is me?[4] Ouch, ouch.
Adalbert: What happened to the palm of your hand?
Yuuri: I cut it wide open, uhm... during a careless mistake.
Adalbert: Well, that happens sometimes, huh? Let me heal it.
Yuuri: Eh?
Adalbert: That injury, I'm saying I'll heal it right away.
Yuuri: You can do something like that?
Adalbert: Since I abandoned the mazoku, I can use several handy houjutsu techniques.
Yuuri: Is it alright to use it on shinzoku territory?
Adalbert: Come on. Put your hand here.
Yuuri: Uhm... Like this?
Adalbert: That's right. Put your hand on my chest.
FX: *touches Adalbert chest*
Yuuri: Ohhh.... ahahahaha... as expected from the American Football Macho, that's a nice chest.
Adalbert: Ah! Hey, don't touch the nipples, the nipples.
Yuuri: Ah! Eh... sorry.
Adalbert: *sighs* Listen to it intently.* ba-dump*
FX: *magic*
Yuuri: Ouch, it hurts! It hurts!!!
Adalbert: Put up with it for a bit.
Yuuri: Majutsu is gentler.
Adalbert: Houjutsu is gentle too, to humans that is. The fact that it hurts is proof that you're close to a mazoku[5].
Yuuri: Well, but then... Ah! It hurts, it hurts.
FX: *healing complete*
Conrad/Wolfram: Yuuri!
Yuuri: Eh?
Venera: Are you alright, your majesty?
Wolfram: Adalbert! Why are you in the capital of the equestrian people?!
Adalbert: Well, that's what I want to ask you, your Excellency The Third Son. As soon as we disembarked, you abandoned Nigel and me.
Conrad: Do you have any injuries?
Yuuri: No, I don't. In fact I was just healed. Ah, Hazel! This is Adalbert.
Venera: A good-looking man that looks like a football player, huh?
Adalbert: *laughs* Thank you, ma'am.
Wolfram: Explain yourself, Grantz!
Adalbert: Alright, alright, I get it. *clears throat* You see? For some reason it seems that I'm the Savior.
Yuuri/Wolfram: SAVIOR?!
Adalbert: Yeah, well! I have the prophecy written here. Look!
Venera: Let's see... "The Legend of the Savior of the End of the World"
Yuuri: Ah, so cool~! *excited*
Venera: Give me a moment... lately my sight has been getting worse due to my age. Uhm... let's see... "The Savior will come from the sea, with his blue eyes and his strong chin, a good-looking man who will be carrying a seductive[6] mermaid ... "
Conrad: "A strong chin"?
Wolfram: "A seductive mermaid" ?
Yuuri: Eh? It doesn't say anything about his muscles?
FX:*Maxine wrapped up like a caterpillar*
Wolfram: *whispers* Conrad, do you think that's a mermaid?
Conrad: Why are you asking me?
Wolfram: Because you have more details about this matter.
Yuuri: What matter? I mean... is there a mermaid in this room?
Maxine: *grunt*
Yuuri: Ah! Something grunted.
Conrad: Since it's tied up, rather than being "seductive", one would say it's "upset"[7].
Venera: Isn't that just its hairdo?
Wolfram: No, on the contrary, I think it's actually its beard. Its beard.
Yuuri: A beard? The mermaid has a beard?!
Adalbert: In any case, since I carried with me something that looked like a mermaid and came from the sea, I've become the Savior of this tribe. And while I've been here, I've been improving the food that these guys eat in the kitchen.
Yuuri: It seems like he's been here for some time.
Adalbert: Alright now. Leaving the matter of the food aside, the one who knows more about this tribe is me. If there's anything you want to know, you can come here to my house and ask.

- ↑ Clean hit: Baseball term. When a batter hits a ball through the infield without it being touched by a fielder, or if a batter hits a ball over an outfielder's head.
- ↑ Julia loved Adalbert's homemade cooking.
- ↑ In the novels: there's no Yuuri meat XD It's just meat in kefir and Yuuri asks why there's kefir in Seisakoku, but the question is forgotten when Adalbert sees Yuuri's wound.
- ↑ Louis Biron calls him a 'rare animal' in Ashita MA and talked about people wanting to eat him to gain immortality.
- ↑ When Adalbert healed him in ChiMA, it didn't hurt Yuuri at all. So, Yuuri might be becoming less human.
- ↑ So the word nayamashii can mean "enchanting/seductive", but also "difficult/troublesome/anxious/upset". The kanji is the same. So of course in the legend the mermaid had to be "seductive", but Maxine is the other type of nayamashii, troublesome, or in this case, upset.
- ↑ So this is funny in Japanese because "seductive" and " upset" are the same word XD
