Card Story: Quietly Wishing (Shylock, Arthur)

Card Episode: Expert Service (Shylock, Akira)


Quietly Wishing: Chapter 1

[Location: Hallway, night]

Shylock: Prince Arthur. What could be keeping you up this late at night?

Arthur: Oh, Shylock. I’m on my way to the kitchen. I was busy going through documents, and just got thirsty.

(stomach grumbling)

Arthur: Ah….

Shylock: Fufu, good work today. How about a moment of rest? I have a good idea.

Arthur: Idea?

Shylock: One that is sure to satisfy you. Please follow me.

 

[Location: Shylock’s bar, night]

Arthur: We came to your bar…. It’s relaxing and has a good atmosphere, indeed.

Shylock: Fufu, that would be the highest of compliments. If you do not mind, please have this quiche I just baked.

Shylock: I cannot say that cooking is my forte, so I would appreciate it if you lower your expectations.

Arthur:  I am sure that’s not the case, it smells nice and looks delicious. Thank you, Shylock.

Arthur: I shall take a bite.

Shylock: Please.

Shylock: ...Ah, I have one more thing prepared for you.


Quietly Wishing: Chapter 2

[Location: Shylock’s bar, night]

Shylock: Here. Please have this cocktail as well. I made it especially for you.

Arthur: Shylock, thank you for your consideration, but I’m not yet in the age for alcohol….

Shylock: Fufu, that will be alright, since this is a non-alcoholic cocktail.

Shylock: When I heard about tanabata from the Master Sage, the image of a beautiful starry sky came to mind.

Shylock: And so I tried to project them inside the cocktail.

Arthur: Blue and purple…. A gradation just like the night sky. It’s really beautiful, it’s almost a pity to drink all of it.

Shylock: Thank you, please have a try.

Arthur: …! It’s delicious and refreshing. And somehow I feel stress gradually leaving my shoulders…. 

Shylock: Fufu, it is not just your imagination. I gave you this with the intention of letting you refresh from the tiring documents.

Shylock: Please do not push yourself too hard. You are a prince, and that is a fact. But at the same time, you are also a young man.

Arthur: Thank you, Shylock. I think I can resume my work now.

Arthur: I have been in your care, I hope I can do something to return the favor….

Shylock: My, how upright you are. Then, may I tell you my secret, little wish?

Arthur: Of course, you do not have to hold back.

Shylock: I hope to share a time drinking with you—when you have come of age, that is.

Shylock: And I hope to listen to all the stories you keep for when you become older.

Arthur: …! Definitely. I will look forward to that time.

Shylock: Fufu, as do I.


Card Episode: Expert Service

[Location: Shylock’s bar, night]

Shylock: Master Sage, this is a non-alcoholic cocktail, made with the image of the tanabata night. Please enjoy.

Akira: Arthur told me about it. It’s so pretty, like a starry sky. Thank you.

Akira: Wah, so delicious! And somehow I feel relaxed….

Shylock: Fufu, I’m glad. Master Sage, you have worked hard today as well.

Akira: (I can feel Shylock’s kindness….)

Akira: Shylock, do you like giving service to others? I respect how you’re always very thoughtful.

Shylock: Thank you very much. Let’s see…. If it’s a matter of like and dislike, I probably like it.

Shylock: When I was tending my bar in the Western country, I had countless encounters with my patrons.

Shylock: And the endless discoveries I would make have always captured my interest.

Shylock: Master Sage, do feel free to talk to me just about anything, be it feeble complaints, discussions, or something good that happened to you that day. I’ll keep our conversations between us.

Akira: Thank you, that’s very kind of you.

Akira: (Rather than being good at giving services, he’s just a really good listener….)

Shylock: That one star you see in the west side of the sky was the star that Murr had discovered in the past. He said he named the star after me… but I did not get to confirm whether it was said in jest or not.
