Who’s The King?: Chapter 1

[Location: Hallway]

Murr: Heyya, Master Sage! Do you like fun things?

Akira: Hello, Murr. And yes, I do…?

Murr: Perfect! Let’s go, then! Don’t wanna be late to the party!

Akira: Huh, what party?

 

[Location: Dining hall, night]

Murr: I’m baaack~

Shylock: Oh?

Akira: Wow, there are fancy decorations all over the room! There’s a feast on the table, too…

Rustica: I see that a special guest has arrived.

Chloe: So you’re invited, too, Master Sage!

Akira: Invited? Are you all invited, too?

Figaro: Yeah. I have no idea what we’re celebrating, though.

Murr: Surrrprise!

(Party cracker goes off)

Murr: Welcome to my birthday party!

Akira: Huh!? Is today your birthday, Murr?

Murr: Yep! I organized it myself, so I gathered the somethings and someones I like and don’t like!

Akira: It’s so like you to prepare your own birthday party, Murr.

Figaro: I’ll let myself enjoy the occasion, then. Could I get a glass, Shylock?

Murr: Shylock, I want a sparkling glass of liquor!

Shylock: Fufu, the party has barely started, there’s no need to rush.

Shylock: I shall do my best to provide you all with cocktails befitting this celebratory day.

 

Rustica: By the way, have any of you happened to hear of the king’s game?

Murr: What’s that? What kind of game is it!?

Rustica: From what Prince Arthur told me: We need to prepare pieces of paper the same amount as the number of players, and write numbers on the papers. One of them we write “King” on it.

Rustica: Next, we all draw one piece of paper, without knowing what is written. The person who picks “King” is granted the power to give out an order of any kind.

Akira: (That’s the same king’s game I know! Arthur must’ve heard about it from the previous Sage...)

Murr: That’s new to me! I wanna play!

Shylock: An order of any kind? Fufu, that certainly is interesting.

Figaro: Sounds like the right game to accompany this tipsiness.

Chloe: I’ll get the papers and a pen!

 

Rustica: So, are you all ready?

Shylock, Murr: ……

Chloe, Figaro: ……

Akira: (W-What’s with this incredible tension…)

Everyone: One, two, three, who will be king?

Chloe: Ah, it’s me!

Murr: Congrats!

Rustica: It’s the new age of Chloe the King.

Chloe: Ehehe, I’m kinda happy to be king.

Shylock: Your Majesty, we await your order.

Figaro: Be gentle with us, okay?

Chloe: Then, person number three! Please bring me a piece of cake!

Akira: (What a kind-hearted king!)

Rustica: It is my honor to be chosen, Your Majesty. I hope you will be happy with this cake I chose for you.

Chloe: Oh, it was you, Rustica? Thank you!

Murr: Alright, next! Put more kings on the throne!


Who’s The King?: Chapter 2

[Location: Dining hall, night]

Murr: …Yay, I’m the next king!

Shylock: My, what a troublesome king we have this time.

Rustica: Fufu, a country where Murr reigns must be a pleasant one.

Chloe: Your Majesty, we humbly request your order!

Murr: Ahem! Person number five, you must now express your undying love to the object of your affection!

Figaro: Oh, that’s me. Haha… The object of my affection, huh? I guess that’d be liquor.

Figaro: It’s been by my side for as long as I can remember. I’ve lived for so long… and not once have I gotten bored of this ol’ guy.

Figaro: We spent time together just yesterday, but I can’t help but long for you again today… My night feels so bland without you.

Chloe: W-Why does hearing that from Figaro make me blush?

Figaro: Does this qualify for acceptance, Your Majesty?

Murr: Accepted! Next!

 

Figaro:  …Oh, it’s finally my turn.

Figaro: Then, person number two…

Akira: Ah.

Figaro: ……

Figaro: Mm, now what should I order this person to do~

Akira: (He’s looking at me. He’s really looking at me.)

Figaro: …Okay. Person number two, give a surprise to our birthday boy, Murr.

Murr: Hooray! A surprise for me! What surprise?

Figaro: Go ask person number two, not me.

Murr: Whozzat?

Akira: It’s me!

Shylock: My, I must say I’m interested in your surprise, Master Sage.

Chloe: Me too!

Akira: (Surprise, huh… What does Murr like again? Sparkly things, and— Ah, right!)

Akira: Shylock, may I take this drink?

Shylock: By all means.

Akira: Thank you.

Akira: (Pour this on a small platter, and…)

Chloe: Master Sage, where are you going?

Akira: To the window. Murr, can you come over here?

Murr: Okie dokie!

Akira: I think around here will do… Yep. Murr, please take this platter and see what’s reflected on it.

Murr, surprised: ……

Chloe: Woah, it’s the moon!

Rustica: It’s very beautiful indeed.

Shylock: My… It’s as if the moon has been taken captive by the water.

Akira: Back in my world, there’s a cultural celebration where we drink alcohol while admiring the moon or flowers. I remembered it just now.

Figaro: The moon as a side dish to a drink? You really amaze me, Master Sage.

Murr: Cool! That’s so cool! Your surprise is a total success!

Akira: I’m glad you like it.

Murr: I like it! Thank you! Now let’s get going!

Akira: Going? Where?

Murr: C’here, Master Sage.

Akira: Okay… W-We’re riding your broom?

Murr: Uhuh! Quick, hold onto me!

Akira: Ah, wait—

(Murr and Akira fly away)

Chloe: Eeh!? What about the party!?

Chloe: …And away they go…


Who’s The King?: Chapter 3

[Location: Night sky, full moon]

Murr: Master Sage, look! The Great Calamity is right there!

Akira: You’re right… Are you not afraid of the Great Calamity, Murr?

Murr: I am, though? It’s scary, it’s beautiful, it’s so dear to me… No matter how far out I reach, it’s never enough. Like this…

Akira: Wah! Please keep your hand on your broom!

Murr: Ahaha! Try it yourself, Master Sage! The wind feels good when you raise your hands!

Akira: W-Won’t we fall?

Murr: Hm? Maybe we will? But falling sounds fun! Wanna try?

Akira: No thank you let’s keep going!

Murr: Aww, shucks! But we’ve reached our destination, anyway!

Akira: This is…

Murr: Someone’s roof! We’ll land here!

(Murr and Akira land on rooftop)

Murr: Eanul Rambul 》!

Akira: That’s the alcohol I poured… What’s the other one?

Murr: This one’s yours!

(Murr pours Akira a drink)

Akira: But I—

Murr: Don’t worry, I asked Shylock to make you something non-alcoholic!

Murr: Here ya go!

Akira: Thank you.

Murr: Thank you, too, for the surprise!

Murr: I wanted to drink the greatest present I got in the best place ever!

Murr: I can gaze at the Great Calamity up close like this!

Akira: (So that’s why he asked me to go outside.)

Murr: Beautiful…. Just beautiful.

Akira: …You really like the Great Calamity, don’t you, Murr?

Murr: I don’t like the Great Calamity. I love it, with all of my heart.1

Akira: Okay… So, there won’t be anyone that you could love more than the Great Calamity?

Murr: Uhuh! I’m a hundred percent sure there won’t be!

Akira: I, see…

Akira: (His soul shattered after he tried getting close to the Great Calamity, yet he still loves and longs for it…) 

Akira: (It must hurt to love like that.)

Murr: Ah, but…

Murr: If, in the future, I were to meet something that enchants me more than the moon could, then I want to live to see that day.

Akira: Huh?

Murr: Life is full of inevitable coincidences! A series of wonderful encounters!

Murr: That’s why we shouldn’t keep our eyes closed.

Murr: If you do, all you’re gonna see is endless darkness!

Murr: And that’s super boring! Life's gotta be full of thrill!

Akira: (Sometimes, Murr’s words strike me with awe…)

Akira: You’re right. I could’ve never imagined that I’d meet all of you.

Murr: Me too! I’m glad that I met you, Master Sage!

Akira: Ahaha, same here!

Murr: Cheers to our wonderful lives!

Akira: Cheers!

 

Akira: We should probably get back soon. Everyone’s probably worried.

Murr: Let’s go home then!

Akira: Yes… Ah, by the way, Murr.

Murr: What?

Akira: Happy birthday!

 

[1] Akira asked Murr with the word “suki”, and Murr said that he loves the moon with the word “aishiteru.” It carries a deeper meaning and is often used as the highest form of love expression.


Card Episode: His Number One Wish

[Location: Murr’s room]

Akira: How was your first King’s Game, Murr?

Murr: I had a blast! I wanna play it again!

Akira: Everyone was enjoying it more than I expected.

Murr: Where else can you be a king with just a pen and a paper? It’s the coolest game ever!

Murr: We should play it with everyone next time! The more the merrier!

Akira: I-I feel like there are some people that’ll be scary as a king…

Murr: Oh, it’ll be a big problem if Oz or Owen became the king! That’s super awesome!

Akira: (His eyes are gleaming!)

Murr: But if we’re gonna play again, I wanna be the king!

Akira: Then, King Murr, what would you order us to do?

Murr: Mm, I wonder?

Akira: Hmm… Something like your number one wish?

Murr: You mean asking someone else to grant my number one wish?

Akira: Er… Uh, yeah, I guess that’s how it’ll be.

Murr: If someone else were to grant it, would it still be my wish?

Murr: I want to grant it myself! Making my wish come true is only fun because I’m the one working for it!

Murr: No matter how much blood, sweat, and tears I have to spill!

Murr: Ahaha, I’m getting excited! Birthdays are the best!
