Card Story: Magic to Make You Smile (Mitile, Lennox, Akira)
Card Episode: If I Can Be Santa (Mitile, Akira)
Magic to Make You Smile: Chapter 1
[Location: Brightsky Town]
Mitile: Mister Leno, Master Sage! Come on, hurry up!
Lennox: Careful, Mitile. Keep your eyes on where you’re going, or you’ll trip.
Akira: Ahaha, I understand his feelings.
Akira: It’s hard to not get excited when so many booths are lined up like this. .
Lennox: You’re right, though I hope he doesn’t get too excited and hurt himself…
Lennox: Master Sage, if there’s a stall you want to browse, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Akira: Thank you, Lennox. Then, first of all…
I scanned my surroundings. Other than the street stalls, lots of people were crowding around some musical performers, and there was even a peculiar mini theater in the back.
Akira: Hmm… There are so many interesting stalls, I can’t decide….
Akira: Which one do you want to see first, Mitile?
Mitile: ….
Akira: Mitile?
Mitile looked between his left and right, as if he was chasing the people passing in front of him with his eyes.
Lennox: The people seemed to catch your eyes more than the booths, Mitile.
Mitile: Yes… I’m happy to see the townspeople enjoying the festival.
Mitile: Knowing that I lent a hand in putting a smile on their faces makes me really proud.
The people in town were brought cheer with the scenery of the falling crystals.
This was all possible thanks to the amazing effort that the young wizards, including Mitile, put in.
Mitile: I wonder if I’ve become closer to Mister Lobel or Mister Santa who bring happiness to people?
Akira: Of course you have. Everyone did an incredible job!
Lennox: Master Sage is right. You’ve worked hard, Mitile.
Mitile: Master Sage, Mister Leno…
Mitile: Ehehe…. Riquet and Chloe would be happy to hear tha—
Mitile: Ah….
Lennox: What’s wrong, Mitile?
Girl: Sob… sob….
Following the line of Mitile’s gaze, we found a girl on the verge of crying. As she cast her gaze about her surroundings, her expression stood in stark contrast from the joyful faces around her.
Mitile: ………
Lennox: How about you call out to her? I know you don’t want to leave her be.
Mitile: …Okay!
Girl: Hic… Uu….
Mitile: E-Excuse me, are you okay?
Mitile: You look really sad, so I’m worried… Is something wrong?
Girl: …I dropped… the necklace my mother gave me…
Girl: I’ve looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find it… That necklace is really precious to me…
Mitile: So that’s what happened… What does it look like?
Girl: A necklace with a crystal-shaped pendant, glittering like the Snow Drop…
Magic to Make You Smile: Chapter 2
[Location: Brightsky Town]
Mitile: A necklace like the dropsnow…
Girl: I brought it to the festival so I could show it to everyone but when I checked, it wasn’t around my neck anymore…
Girl: What should I do… It’s my treasure that I received from my mom… Sob…
Mitile: Waa, please don’t cry! It’ll be all right, because I’ll help you look for it!
Girl: …Really? But, weren’t you also walking around the festival?
Mitile: Don’t worry. I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the festival if I left you alone to worry, anyway.
Mitile: Mister Leno, Master Sage. Can I help her find her lost necklace?
Mitile: If I lost a treasured present from my mother, I’d also feel really hurt and upset…
Mitile: And if I had to look for it by myself, I wouldn’t know what to do…
Lennox: Of course, let’s help her.
Akira: Let us help too.
Mitile: Thank you very much!
Mitile: If we look for it together, we’ll definitely find it in no time!
Girl: …Okay!
Akira: Then, where should we look first?
Lennox: It may be a little difficult to find it amidst this crowd. How about we split up?
Mitile: Then I’ll try looking back around the path she passed.
Lennox: …Alright. If anything happens, call us right away, okay?
Mitile: Got it! Let’s hold hands, so we don’t get separated on the way.
Girl: Okay!
Lennox: Master Sage, let’s ask around. Maybe someone around here saw her missing necklace.
Akira: Yes, let’s do that.
After parting ways with Mitile and the girl, Lennox and I asked other people about it as they were passing by.
Townsperson: A necklace that looks like the dropsnow? Haven’t seen anything like that.
Akira: I see… Thank you for hearing us out.
Lennox: We’ve asked quite a number of people, but no one has seen the necklace.
Akira: Yes, I wish we could get a little more information…
Mitile: ………
Akira: Ah, Mitile!
Lennox: Mitile.
Mitile: …Mister Leno, Master Sage.
Akira: Did you find the necklace?
Mitile: We did, but…
Girl: Hic…
Akira: Ah….
I looked inside the girl’s palm and saw the necklace, but its pendant had clearly been twisted out of shape.
Magic to Make You Smile: Chapter 3
[Location: Brightsky Town]
Mitile: Looks like someone at the festival unknowingly stepped on it while they were walking…
Girl: The necklace my mother gave me… It’s broken now… because I dropped it…
Akira: (Oh no… Even though we found it…)
Mitile: …Mister Leno.
Mitile tugged Lennox’s hem, looking determined but somewhat stiff with uncertainty.
Mitile: …If Mister Leno and I combine magic, we may be able to fix this necklace. But…
Mitile cast his eyes downward in hesitation.
Akira: (...I remember, Mitile said that he once used magic in a big city in the past and people shrieked upon seeing it.)
Akira: (And that made him lock himself away, unable to go out. But Mitile is…)
Seeing Mitile at such a loss, I made up my mind and spoke.
Akira: Mitile.
Mitile: …Yes?
Akira: I don’t want to push you into doing something that makes you uncomfortable.
Akira: But since what you want to do now is something that will help someone out of their trouble… I’m sure everything will be okay.
Mitile: Master Sage…
Lennox: And this time, I’m right here with you, Mitile.
Mitile: Mister Leno…
Mitile: …Okay!
Mitile took a deep breath, and faced the girl once more.
Mitile: We’ll fix your necklace.
Girl: Huh, can it really be fixed?
Mitile: Yes!
Mitile accepted the necklace from the girl, and together with Lennox, cast his spell towards it.
Mitile: 《 Ortonik Sealsispilce 》
Lennox: 《 Forsettao Meiuvat 》
Girl: Ah…!
Once their spells rang out, the crooked pendant immediately returned to its beautiful, undamaged shape.
Mitile: H-Here you go. What… do you think…?
Girl: ………
Mitile: ………
Girl: …That’s really amazing! It’s like nothing happened to it at all! Thank you so much for fixing it!
Mitile: …! I’m glad… I’m so glad, Mister Leno!
Lennox: Yes, it’s a success.
Mitile: Then let me put the necklace on for you, so you won’t lose it again.
Girl: Okay!
Mitile: …All done! It suits you really well!
Girl: Fufufu, thank you, kind wizard!
Mitile: ………!
Mitile: You’re very welcome!
Akira: I’m so glad we managed to find her necklace.
Mitile: Yes! Thank you, Master Sage, Mister Leno.
Mitile: I’m sorry, both of you ended up having to go along with me when we were supposed to look around the festival.
Akira: No, it’s my pleasure to see the girl smile.
Lennox: The same goes for me. As for the festival, it’s still not too late if we look around now.
Mitile: Master Sage, Mister Leno… Thank you very much!
Mitile: That’s right! Can I get you two a present?
Mitile: I’ll find you something special that you can only find in this festival!
Mitile grabbed my and Lennox’s hands as he spoke.
Mitile: Let’s go!
Akira: Whoa…!
Lennox: Now, Mitile, don’t rush.
Mitile: Ehehe, look forward to your presents!
Card Episode: If I Can Be Santa
[Location: Manor’s lounge, day]
Akira: The festival in Brightsky Town was really fun, wasn’t it?
Mitile: Yes, it was! I was so glad, looking at how happy the townspeople were.
Akira: I think it was thanks to you and the other wizards that they could enjoy the festival.
Mitile: Ehehe, thank you, Master Sage… I’m glad I could be like Mister Santa, delivering happiness to everyone’s doors.
Akira: I see you like Santa Claus very much, Mitile.
Akira: Then… If you could become Santa, what would you deliver as presents to everyone in the Wizards’ Manor?
Mitile: Huh? Let’s see….
Mitile: Of course I want to give them the things that’d make them happy! But everyone has different preferences, so it might be harder than I think.
Mitile: As for my brother and Doctor Figaro, I can probably imagine what they’d want… But I wonder what would be nice for Lord Oz and Prince Arthur.
Akira: You’re right, it’s not easy to pick a good present for everyone.
Mitile: Yes… Mister Santa has to choose a present for every child in the world, right?
Mitile: If I were him, I feel like Christmas would be over before I could finish thinking about it…
Akira: Then how about directly asking the person what they want? Ask them in the middle of an ordinary conversation so they won’t find out.
Mitile: …! I didn’t think of that earlier!
Mitile: I have to be extra careful to keep my true intention hidden, but that way I can give them the present they want the most.
Mitile: Alright, then I’ll ask you about the present you want when I become Santa Claus, Master Sage. In a way that you won’t figure out, of course!
Special Home Screen Line
Mitile: Merry Christmas! I’ve come to deliver a present for you, Master Sage, since you’ve been on your best behavior throughout the year! Huh? Did you prepare a present for me too? Ehehe, then the both of us must have been good children this year!
