Impressions of the Spot (1) ↑

Mitile: It can get a little hot in the Swamp of Illness, but it’s also really fun here!

Akira: Do you like it here, Mitile?

Mitile: Yes! I was a bit scared at first after hearing that there might be dangerous viruses here, but…

Mitile: The water’s beautiful and fun to swim in. Walking around the swamp while being surrounded by colorful plants is enjoyable, too.

Mitile: There are lots of animals and insects I’ve never seen before. Oh, and I also got to ride a canoe yesterday! It was difficult, but I definitely want to do it again.

Akira: You look like you had a lot of fun!

Akira: (True, this place does seem to have many things that children would enjoy… It feels like a perfect summer vacation spot.)

Mitile: Have you tried riding a canoe before, Master Sage?

 

Option 1: I have.

Mitile: I see! Then how about we race each other? I got a lot better at it yesterday!

Akira: Sounds good. I won’t lose, though.

Mitile: Ahaha! I’d say the same thing for myself! Wait here, I’ll let Doctor Figaro know and borrow the canoes!

 

Option 2: I haven’t.

Mitile: Then I’ll give you a ride! I got a lot better at it yesterday! 

Akira: Is it okay? I’d love to try riding one.

Mitile: Yay! I’ll lead you! When you get the hang of it, I'll teach you how to row the canoe, Master Sage!

 

Impressions of the Spot (2) ↑

Snow: ‘Tis hot. Extremely hot.

Akira: Snow… I guess it’s not surprising for a Northern wizard like you to dislike humid places like this.

Akira: Ah, here are some big leaves. It might help you cool down if you use one of these as a fan. There, how does it feel?

Snow: Phew… Some cool air, at last. How thoughtful of you, Sage….

Akira: I really don’t mind, but wouldn’t it be easier to use magic to cool the place?

Snow: ‘Tis a trivial matter for me, but, alas, the living things in this area do not acclimate well with cold temperatures.

Snow: I summoned a bit of cold breeze to cool myself down earlier, but soon enough I noticed that the lizard’ movements slowed down.

Akira: I see… That’s very considerate of you, Snow.

Snow: We are but mere guests in this land. Threatening creatures that call this place their home for our own selfish reasons would be in poor taste, I’d say.

Snow: ...But even so, I think I am about to reach my limit. There should not be many creatures that will come close to me in the sky, so I might as well take refuge there, and use magic tocool down.

Akira: Okay. ...Oh, feel free to use this leaf as a parasol, if you like.

Snow: Don’t mind if I do. This looks just right for me. Then, Master Sage, I shall be back.

 

Impressions of the Spot (3) ↑

Akira: Huh? I see bubbles on the swamp’s surface. I wonder what creature is there…

Akira: Waaa?!

Mithra:...What. So it’s just you.

Akira: M-Mithra!? What were you doing?

Mithra: I was cooling myself underwater. It is awfully hot around here.

Mithra: I was killing fish and birds that dared come close out of boredom. But the shadow I saw just now turned out to be yours.

Akira: I was only checking things out...

Mithra: Would you like to see what I caught? It's a creature I've never seen before, but I wonder if it's edible.

Mithra: Here it is…

Akira: Waaa?! Mithra, that’s… that’s a crocodile!

Mithra: Can I eat it?

Akira: I don’t know…

 

Break Time (1) ↑

Figaro: Huh...

Akira: Is something wrong, Figaro?

Figaro: A squall’s about to come, Master Sage. I don’t think we’ll make it back to the others on time. Let’s find some cover from the rain for now.

Akira: A squall?

Figaro: Cut these leaves, and… There we go.

Figaro: Here, use it as an umbrella. Its surface repels water.

Akira: This is a big leaf! Enough to cover my whole body from the rain. It looks like something out of a picture book.

Figaro: A picture book from your world? I’d love to see it, maybe draw it next time?

Figaro: Oops, it’s starting to rain, and it looks like it’ll only get stronger. Let’s go under that tree.

Akira: O-Okay! You’re right, it suddenly got so dark and windy...

Figaro: Are you scared? Don’t worry, it’ll be gone in no time. Plus, I’ll stay right beside you as we wait.

Figaro: How about a good chat with Doctor Figaro while we wait for the rain to pass?

 

Break Time (2) ↑

Akira: Oz, what are you doing? There’s nothing here…

Oz: .........

Akira: Hm? It's a bit cool when I’m standing near you... Are you using magic?

Oz: Yes. I cannot stand the heat in this place.

Akira: Even someone like you finds it unbearable. I guess this must feel scorching hot for a Northern person.

Oz: .........

Oz: Figaro stopped me when I was about to drop the temperature, saying it would affect the plants. That is why I called for the wind instead to get rid of the humidity in the air.

Akira: (It's like an A/C in dehumidification mode...)

Akira: Getting rid of the humidity made the air feel more refreshing. Can I stay here for a while?

Oz: I heard you came from a land where people have high resistance to heat. Is this your limit?

Akira: Did I rub you the wrong way…?

Oz: No.

Oz: Sage. If you want me to, I shall call upon the clouds to create shadows.

Akira: O-Oh, yes please!

Oz: Very well.

Oz:《Vox Nox》 

 

Memories from the Spot (1) ↑

Akira: Figaro, you helped develop this place, right? Have you not thought of settling down here?

Figaro: Hmm. Some of the residents here have asked me the same question. For me, well, living here can get a bit inconvenient.

Figaro: This entire place sinks during the rainy season. Some people even move out when that happens.

Figaro: What’s the point of settling down if I have to keep moving? It defeats the purpose of me coming to the South to relax.

Akira: I see… I guess those kinds of issues can’t be fixed even with magic.

Figaro: No, it’s possible, actually. I can do it. I can do anything I want with magic.

Figaro: But if I stay here any longer, I’m afraid I’ll alter the land too much just to suit my needs.

Figaro: So I let it be.

Akira: I see...

Figaro: Well, it might also just be because this heat isn’t suitable for a North-born person like me.

Figaro: I think dropping by here once in a while is the closest thing I can do to enjoying this place.

 

Memories from the Spot (2) ↑

Akira: That tree over there has white flowers. They’re beautiful.

Figaro: It’s a guava flower. The fruits are edible, actually.

Figaro: This brings back memories. Back then, there was a girl who had the same name as that flower.

Figaro: A long time ago, a leader of a traveller guild arrived and settled in this area. He seemed to have taken a liking to me.

Figaro: He was so grateful for my help in developing this place that he offered all of his daughters for marriage.

Figaro: I had no intention of settling down here, so I turned his offer down. His daughters were all really beautiful, though. It feels like I missed something good. I remembered it just now.

Akira: Something good...

Figaro: Eeh, I told you, I rejected his offer! There should be nothing wrong with that, right?

Akira: Well, if you say so... So he had a daughter named Guava?

Figaro: Actually, all of his daughters are named "Guava". It's apparently a custom of theirs.

Figaro: He offered them for marriage so casually. Kinda crude, if you ask me.

 

Memories from the Spot (3) ↑

Akira: Lennox, have you visited the Swamp of Illness before?

Lennox: Yes. Doctor Figaro once sent me here to get some fruits. I still remember how he got me completely fooled that time.

Akira: Really?

Lennox: Back then, even after the plague had long been exterminated, there were still occasional cases of illness.

Lennox: So he told me to write spells all over my face and upper body to ward off bad luck, and make sure I keep them visible. 

Akira: So, did you do it?

Lennox: Yes. 

Lennox: When I arrived here, people were dressed normally. My appearance must have put them on a tight guard.

Lennox: It took me a lot of time before I could buy the fruits. I had to convince them first that I wasn’t a bad person.

Akira: I wonder if Figaro got that mischievousness from Snow and White...

Lennox: Who knows… I think it’s just his nature.

 

Impressions of Figaro (1) ↑

Akira: Rutile, you and Mitile have been with Figaro since you were born, right?

Rutile: Yes.

Rutile: Apparently, my mother and Doctor Figaro were old friends, and she later settled down in the village he lived in.

Rutile: I think my mother also relied on him a lot, just like my brother and I now.

Akira: I see. What do you think of Figaro?

Rutile: He’s someone I rely on! He has always taken care of me and Mitile, even more after our father’s passing.

Rutile: He always came to help me and Mitile every time we were in trouble. He's a wonderful person whom we can rely on in times of need.

Akira: I agree. It feels relieving when you know Figaro is nearby to help you out.

Rutile: Right? He may say some sloppy things sometimes, but he's a sincere person at heart.

 

Impressions of Figaro (2) ↑

Akira: Lennox, you and Figaro have known each other for a long time, right?

Lennox: Yes. We first met way back when I was still in the revolutionary army with Lord Faust.

Akira: That time, did you two talk much?

Lennox: Let’s see… You can say he had a really imposing presence that time...

Akira: Imposing...

Lennox: We're very close now, and we even joke around each other, so it might be hard for you to imagine us having that kind of relationship back then.

Lennox: At that time, he was a great wizard who was welcomed to the army to provide assistance.

Lennox: I was rarely the one to start a conversation with him.

Akira: (Is it like a VIP business partner and an ordinary employee?)

Lennox: He is someone reliable and praiseworthy. Perhaps due to his amazing magical power, he sometimes appears as someone who takes an elevated view of everything.

Lennox: And that’s why people might have easily perceived him as cold and frightening.

Akira: Ah, I can see that.

Lennox: But I think it's only natural for someone as powerful as him to be perceived as that.

Lennox: Although Lord Figaro can be scary at times, he doesn’t seem to know how to intuitively interact with humans or weaker wizards.

Lennox: I still find it strange… and sometimes awkward, how he tries to conceal that fact.

 

Impressions of Figaro (3) ↑

Akira: Mitile, Figaro has known you since you were born, right? What do you think of him?

Mitile: Hmm. I think he's a great doctor, but he can be a bit careless at times.

Mitile: He sometimes leaves his laundry unattended, skips breakfast and sleeps past noon on his days off.

Akira: You seem very strict about things like this... I'll be more careful...

Mitile: Most of my friends learned things from their fathers, but I grew up being taught by him and my brother.

Mitile: That's why I also see him as a relative– family, even.

Mitile: Though I don't know how he would feel if he hears that….

Akira: Why don’t you ask him, then?

Mitile: No way! Isn’t that embarrassing…?

Mitile: I bet he’ll just grin and tease me!

Mitile: But, well, I also want him to take better care of his health.

Mitile: My parents passed away at a young age... That's why I want Doctor Figaro to stay healthy and live long.

Mitile: ...I won’t tell him that in person, though.

 

Impressions of Figaro (4) ↑

Akira: Oz, you've known Figaro for a long time, right? What do you think of him?

Oz: ......What do you mean?

Akira: Um, for example...

 

Option 1: What do you like about him?

Oz: ...I can't think of anything in particular.

Akira: Is that so...? But the two of you have always been together, surely you don't dislike him, do you?

Oz: It’s not like we spend our days together, and definitely not always... but you might be right.

Oz: We still get along after hundreds of years. If there is any sign that I do not dislike him, then it must be that.

Akira: Getting along for hundreds of years... So it’s the same with Snow and White?

Oz: Yes.

 

Option 2: What do you dislike about him?

Oz: ...There's a lot...

Akira: (A lot…)

Oz: One of it being how he talks so much but leaves out all the important things.

Akira: Important things… Can you give me an example?

Oz:.........

Oz: There was a time he came by my castle, and talked about trivial matters to no end. When I asked him if something happened...

Oz: ‘Nothing’, he answered.

 

Akira: I see...

Oz: Figaro knows better about what I think of him.

Oz: That’s what I feel, at least.

 

Impressions of Figaro (5) ↑

Akira: How do you feel about Figaro, Faust?

Faust: Nothing. I don’t care about him.

Akira: ...I'm not gonna force you to talk if you don't want to...

Faust: It’s not like that.

Faust: He's just a guy who spits hopeful nothings. Don't let his appearance deceive you. 

Faust: Unless you want to make a fool out of yourself like I did.

Akira: You're a curse worker, aren't you? Have you ever thought of cursing him?

Faust: It's useless, it will only bounce back on me. Unfortunately, I'm no match for that man's magic. He has enough power to double the curse if he so wishes.

Akira: ...Do you not have a single happy memory with him?

Faust: .........

Faust: He taught me healing magic. I was the one who took care of my comrades after he disappeared.

Faust: ...That’s all.

 

Stories Related to the Spot (1) ↑

Figaro: Master Sage, Master Sage. Take off your shoes and come over here in the shallows.

Akira: Are you playing in the water, Figaro? Waa… It feels nice and cool.

Figaro: Yup. In these shallow parts, small fish will come to you if you soak your bare feet into the water.

Akira: Ah! There are also fish like this in my world! Wow...! A lot of them came here!

Akira: Haha, it tickles. They eat dead skin cells, right?

Figaro: Dead skin cells? No, not that. This fish eats greed.

Figaro: Humans are greedier than animals, you know? And greed happens to be this fish's favorite food.

Akira: Greed...? You mean like lust, wants, desires? 

Figaro: Yep. Ahaha, look how many of these little guys showed up. Is our Master Sage full of pent-up desires?

Akira: Um… This is really embarrassing for some reason...

Figaro: Really? I personally think it’s okay to get rid of unnecessary greed in your body once in a while.

Akira: Wait, why aren’t they eating off you!?

Figaro: Well, you can say I’ve already fulfilled most of my desires.

 

Stories Related to the Spot (2) ↑

Akira: Ah, a gourd! It has a translucent surface...

Figaro: That's a subspecies of the gallon gourd that stores liquor as it grows. Normally, this plant would have liquor in it, but the ones in this swamp store filtered water instead.

Figaro: It's a plant I brought from the Eastern Country way back when I was still developing this place.

Figaro: Here, you can drink it.

Akira: There’s water in the gourd… I’ll have a taste.

Akira: ...Gulp... You're right... It's like water from a well. It's easy to drink and it doesn't smell like plants.

Figaro: This place used to be a poisonous swamp, and clean drinking water was rare and precious. Even now, this gourd is really useful during the dry season.

Akira: Are there other plants you’ve planted here?

Figaro: Yep, but not much. If we can at least have a decent source of water, I can say that this is one of the places in the South that’s most rich in nature.

Figaro: I did bring in various plants, but only a few of them managed to adapt to the environment. Even this gallon gourd mutated. Maybe it’s the soil?

Figaro: Just like wizards, it’s all about compatibility with the land. It’s interesting.

 

About the Southern Country ↑

Figaro: The Southern Country becomes a fascinating place where humans and wizards coexist.

Akira: Fascinating?

Figaro: Humans were way fewer in the past, so they relied heavily on magic. But now they're capable of doing things on their own.

Figaro: Even in a land like this that's so difficult to cultivate, they managed to develop the right tools, increased their population and built their own communities.

Figaro: They still ask for magical assistance in situations where they need it, though. Us wizards here also live with their help, so I think it's a pretty fair relationship.

Akira: You're right, everywhere you go in the South, it's always full of people who treat wizards nicely. It's most probably because you all live by being supportive of each other.

Figaro: ......I feel like it’s a bit similar to the place I was born in.

Akira: Is that why you feel comfortable here?

Figaro: Ahaha. Maybe.

Figaro: If possible, I want to stay here in the South for a while longer.

 

About The Great Calamity ↑

Akira: Before you became one of the Sage's wizards, what did you think about The Great Calamity?

Figaro: I thought it was a strange phenomenon, but I didn't really pay much attention to it.

Akira: Really? Even when it threatens the entire world…?

Figaro: I mean, the wizards always succeeded with their counterattack every year. It’s a nuisance, but it’s something the world would always go through, just like a blizzard or a storm.

Akira: So like a natural phenomenon?

Figaro: Yep. Well, but now that I’m chosen as one of the Sage’s wizards, I guess I have to pay more attention to it now.

Figaro: However, even Murr can't come to a proper conclusion after all that research he did on the moon. Maybe it really is something that we can't fully comprehend.

Akira: How do you feel about being chosen?

Figaro: There were a lot of things going on, but….

Figaro: I was pretty much like, “Really? Now?”

Figaro: Ah, of course, I’m happy it became my chance to meet you.

 

Our Great Doctor ↑

Akira: Figaro, the villagers gave you some fruits as thanks for the physical check ups you've done.

Figaro: Wah, those look tasty. Let’s eat them together later.

Akira: Everyone here is grateful to you, aren’t they?

Figaro: You can say that. I'm a good person, after all.

Akira: Wah, Snow and White. You two got some fish?

Snow: Correct. They asked us to eat them with Doctor Figaro.

Figaro: Aren't you glad you got some good fish because of me? A few compliments once in a while will be nice.

White: You’re right.

Snow: Our dear Figaro, you might be a tad mouthy, but you are actually a gentle and kind child at your core...

White: We are more than proud to see you grow up as a great wizard loved by many.

Figaro: This is actually a bit embarrassing...

Akira: (He’s embarrassed… What a rare sight…)

Snow: Figaro, dear, you’ve grown so much.

White: We are very proud of you, our precious, dearest Figaro.

Figaro: Alright, enough… That’s enough.

 

People at the Spot ↑

White: Sigh...

Akira: Waa, White. What’s wrong? You look...

White: You see, I was in my child form, and the villagers caught me…. 

White: They said children are incapable of regulating their body temperature, and that with the many layers of clothing I wear, I will get overheated. I was nearly disrobed.

Akira: They were worried about you...

White: Children are important inhabitants of the land, after all. Everyone here is always very kind.

White: I am grateful, of course, but truthfully, these are my and Snow's favorite clothes. When we change, we do it together.

White: I won’t cause any unnecessary worry in this form. Furthermore, this height gives me a better distance from the ground.

Akira: Oh, right. It could be hotter if you’re close to the ground. Sorry I didn't notice sooner.

White: Do not mind it. More importantly, this height lessens the distance between our faces now.

Akira: W-Waa...... You're right... Your face... It's so close...

White: Did I make your heart race?

Akira: A bit...

White: Hehe. You might want to stop treating me like a child, then.

 

Wizards at the Spot ↑

Figaro: I know someone who lives in a village a little west of here. Maybe I'll stop by and say hello on my way home.

Akira: You're pretty well-known, aren't you? What's that person like?

Figaro: I guess their fearless and serious conduct resembles Lennox. Though age seems to be getting them a bit recently, they’re still someone cool and calm, with sun-kissed skin.

Figaro: I didn't settle down here, I thought it would be harder to develop the land if it's only occupied by humans.

Figaro: So there was a time when I encouraged wizards and witches who were looking for a place to move here. Having them around would be useful in taking care of this area.

Akira: I see... And that person decided to live here.

Figaro: It's humid and the weather can be pretty harsh, but it's a beautiful place during the rainy season. They said that field work suits them better.

Figaro: They're happy to have a good place to live in. Sometimes they'd even bring me baskets full of fruits.

Figaro: I haven't seen them in a while, though. It seems like they’re busy mothering the baby they recently gave birth to...

Akira: A mother...? So you were talking about a witch? From your story, I kinda assumed you were talking about a wizard.

Figaro: They were a wizard when we met. We can use magic to change our forms, so I guess they just went with whatever they wanted to look like.

Figaro: Would you come visit them with me? Let’s bet: will they be in their male form? Or their female form?

 

A Dangerous Place ↑

Akira: Wow, what a big flower! It's as big as my face. How beautiful...

Figaro: Ah, Master Sage. The area behind that bush of flowers is a little dangerous, so be careful.

Akira: R-Really?

Figaro: The soil in that part seems to be so rich that plants and animals there grow bigger than they should.

Akira: What?! I didn't even know that's possible... I'm a bit curious now though, but also a little scared.

Figaro: Ahaha. I’ll go with you if you want to see it.

 

Option 1: Let’s go.

Akira: I want to see! I wonder what else we'll find there...

Figaro: I think the rarest of them all are the twin birds. I’ve seen them grow so big that you’ll need both of your arms to hold them.

Figaro: And also...

???: Bzzzzzt! 

Akira: Waaaaaa! A bug!

Figaro: There are lots of bugs here, aren't there? Ah, look over there. There's a grasshopper as big as a cat.

 

Option 2: Maybe next time… 

Akira: Maybe not today... But won't such plants and animals upset the balance of the ecosystem?

Figaro: Who knows? I don't think I've been informed of any serious damages here in a long time.

Figaro: But if I move them somewhere else, they might weaken and die quickly due to the lack of nutrients.

Figaro: I think the ecosystem is balanced as it is.

 

Figaro’s Reputation ↑

Akira: I didn't know you were here, Mitile. Weren't you with Figaro?

Mitile: Doctor Figaro left to do physical check ups on the villagers.

Akira: Physical check ups... It does seem like there aren't many doctors around here.

Mitile: There were times when he visited towns and villages with few or no doctors other than the Swamp of Illness before.

Mitile: Many patients rely on him because he can use magic to do immediate visits, even to far or remote places.

Mitile: He also does it because some of them were people who helped develop this place.

Akira: Figaro can be a little difficult at times, but he can also be a very caring person...

Mitile: That's right. He's a pretty reliable person. My brother and I would often talk about this too.

 

Spot Specialty ↑

Rutile: Ah, Master Sage, look at this. It’s a marine tree. 

Akira: Marine tree? Ah... There are big marbles hanging from it...

Rutile: Those are the fruits of the marine tree. They’re blue, transparent, and beautiful, aren't they? I heard they call it 'color of the waves', but I wonder if it’s true.

Akira: Huh?! These marble-like things are its fruits?

Akira: Wah… It’s so soft to the touch...

Rutile: The marine tree is something that only grows in the Swamp of Illness. You can actually eat its fruits. Would you like to try some?

Akira: They’re edible! Amazing...

Rutile: And... here you go, Master Sage. Take a small bite and drink the juice.

Akira: Thank you so much. I wonder if it will taste salty because it's a fruit from the marine tree... Gulp...

Rutile: What do you think?

Akira: (...This… This tastes like ramune!)

Akira: It tastes good…. I feel like it’s something I’d want to drink chilled.

Rutile: Cooling it first would be nice! It's sweet, refreshing and has a unique taste. It’s a popular souvenir for kids.

 

Discovery at the Spot ↑

Akira: Lennox, are you fishing right now?

Lennox: Yes. There are many kinds of fish here.

Lennox: I caught a rare one just now. Please look at the bucket.

Akira:...? It’s empty...

Akira: Wah! There’s a moving fish bone…!?

Lennox: It's called a specter fish. It's a fish whose body and skin are so pellucid that they look like swimming fish bones.

Lennox: They aren’t usually targeted by predators even when they swim in groups, so it makes them less cautious and easier to catch.

Akira: I see... I was surprised at first, but this looks like a deep-sea fish. Is it edible?

Lennox: Yes. Its flesh turns white when cooked. It's quite tasty.

Lennox: Let's bring it back with us and ask Nero to cook it.

 

A Fun Place ↑

Rutile: Master Sage, I heard you can cross over to the other side by stepping on the leaves of flowers in this swamp.

Akira: Really? That's amazing... Even though this is a swamp, the water is so clear that you can see all the way down to the bottom.

Rutile: They say that walking on these leaves to cross feels like you're walking on a high ground!

Rutile: Why don't we try it? So many of the flowers underwater are in bloom, I'm sure they'll be pleasing to look at.

Akira: Hmm… That sounds a bit scary...

 

Option 1: I’m not good with heights...

Rutile: Ah, I didn't know that! Then it must have been scary riding with us on our brooms….

Akira: I'm getting quite used to riding on your brooms. It's my primary means of transportation in this world, after all. I've been wanting to overcome it...

Rutile: If that's so, then that makes this a good place to practice getting used to heights, since you can fall in the water.

Rutile: I'll be there to support you, you can tell me anytime if you’re up for the challenge!

 

Option 2: I can’t swim, so...

Rutile: I see! Then how about we ask Doctor Figaro to use his magic to allow you to breathe underwater?

Akira: Is that even possible?

Rutile: Yup! Way back when Mitile and I practiced swimming in the river, he would let us have the ability to breathe underwater.

Rutile: It'll be fun to dive deep with magic! The scenery here is great and it's a good spot to practice swimming!

 

Option 3: I’ll take on the challenge!

Rutile: Yay! Let’s go right away!

Rutile: Ah, but riding a boat is also an option, by the way. If you’re worried, then we can cross using that too.

Akira: ...It’s fine! I want to try crossing over on my own!

Rutile: That's the spirit! Don't worry, I will hold your hand and lead you.

Rutile: Let’s have fun, Master Sage.
