Warmth That Binds Us Together: Chapter 1
[Location: Manor courtyard, day]
Akira: Hm? Is that Snow and White? They look like they’re in a disagreement….
Snow: So you dare…. Even though I love you so!
White: I love you just as much. Alas, we cannot be together any longer….
Akira: (Eh, what is this TV drama-like turn of events!?)
Akira: Snow, White! What happened!?
Snow: Oh, Sage. Sorry to have surprised you.
White: It was nothing more than a play of pretend.
Akira: A play of pretend...? I’m relieved….
Snow: We play around like this in our free time. We also do impersonations sometimes.
Snow, serious face: “There is no point in an alliance. Those who will survive, will survive.”
Akira: (Now they’re onto something…!)
White: That must be Ozzie!
Snow: Correct! Perhaps it was a little easy?
White: Now, it is my turn!
White, sighing face: Try to guess whose expression this is.
Akira: Whose is it…..
Snow: That’s a troubled Figaro boy!
White: Correct!
Akira: You answered so quickly, that’s amazing! You two really do know each other!
Snow: ….
Akira: (Snow...?)
White: There is no doubt! We are two, but one, after all.
Snow: Yes, it is exactly what White said!
Akira: (I’m glad. I thought Snow was acting a little weird, but he seems okay. Maybe it was just my imagination.)
White: Now, it is your turn, Sage.
Akira: Eh, me!?
Snow and White: I wonder who it would be?
Akira: That’s too sudden, but, um….
Akira: “As of right now, I would like to hold a mixer!”
Snow and White: That must be Arthur!
Akira: C-Correct. I’m glad I pulled it off….
[Location: Manor lounge, day]
Akira: (I was a little bit surprised yesterday, but Snow and White are really good at impersonations, it’s interesting….)
Akira: Ah, Snow, Oz, Figaro. Good morning.
Oz: Sage.
Figaro: Morning, Master Sage. If you don’t mind, can you please come over here?
Akira: What’s the matter? Speaking of which, it’s unusual for White to be absent.
Figaro: You see, Master Snow is currently worrying about Master White.
Snow: Tomorrow is actually our “Aurora Viewing Anniversary”. I wanted to prepare a surprise for him.
Akira: That’s wonderful! But what do you mean you’re worried about White?
Snow: I was thinking of going to see the aurora again with him, but once the night falls, we both will be trapped in a frame.
Snow: We can’t rely on Oz’s magic, and Figaro already has a mission to go on tomorrow. It’s hard to imagine that the rest of the Northern Wizards will cooperate.
Akira: I see….
Snow: Today is a day we spend time away from each other, so I tried looking for a present in the capital, but alas, none of them seemed good enough.
Akira: I guess it won’t be easy…. You two already have a lot of things that match.
Snow: The ideal would be viewing the aurora from the manor, right from here….
Oz and Figaro: ….
Warmth That Binds Us Together: Chapter 2
[Location: Manor lounge, day]
Figaro: Casting an illusionary spell on Master White and making him see the aurora would be the easiest way out.
Snow: Figaro boy, there you go again….
Figaro: Yes, yes, sorry. Though I don’t want to hear that from you, Master Snow. Come on, Oz, give us some ideas.
Oz: ...How about the flower you brought as a present to my castle before? A small flower, the one Arthur wanted.
Snow: A flower? Now, what flower was that….
Figaro: I think it was the aurora flower*. I remember you asking for my help to find it because you want to give it to Arthur.
Snow: Oh, that flower! Indeed, White will be happy if I give him that flower.
Akira: What kind of flower is it?
Snow: It’s a flower unique to the Northern Country. It is a small, white flower that will not bloom anywhere else.
Snow: Most of the time it stays a flower bud. Once it bathes in moonlight, the flower will begin to bloom and shines like an aurora.
Akira: It sounds like a wondrous flower…. If you don’t mind, please let me help you look for it!
[Location: Northern Country, snowy field, day]
Akira: As expected from Oz. We’re in the Northern Country in a blink of an eye….
Snow: The aurora flowers bloom like it’s hiding under a pile of snow, it is not easy to find them.
Akira: I see…. I’ll help, so let’s find it together!
[Location: Northern Country, snowy field, dusk]
Snow: There is none to find….
Akira: (We searched almost everywhere and still found nothing. I didn’t know it’s such a rare flower….)
Snow: Hm? That is…!
[Snow runs]
Snow: I found it! I found it, Sage!
Akira: Great job, Snow!
Snow: White will certainly be happy with this! That’s really like our beloved disciple to have this brilliant idea...
Akira: (...We found the flower, but somehow Snow still looks a little disheartened….)
Akira: I know it was Oz who proposed this idea, but Snow, you are the one who found the flower.
Snow: …Perhaps that is so. Nevertheless, I was the one who had no idea how to bring joy to White; even when I am his twin.
Snow: For all you know, I killed White in the past. It may be possible that we are no longer the twins who know each other very well.
Snow: We are nothing but a forlorn existence to each other.
Snow might be smiling as he spoke, but his words were filled with regret and sorrow. Before I knew it, I grabbed his hands.
Snow: Sage?
Akira: I think it’s only natural that you spent a lot of time before making a decision that concerns White. You treasure him just that much.
Akira: I also think that sometimes, the closer you are to someone, the harder it is to understand them….
Akira: So, you are not alone, Snow.
Snow: Sage….
Akira: Besides, White will always be by your side, Snow.
Akira: If that is still not enough to ward away your loneliness, I’m here to hold your hand, anytime. Though, I think it won’t be enough….
Snow: ...I am sorry that I have made you worry. Do wipe that sorrowful expression off your face.
Snow: I thought it was our role to reassure you, who came to our world all by yourself.
Snow: And still here I am, receiving words of reassurance from you.
Note: *The original name is 極光花.
Warmth That Binds Us Together: Chapter 3
[Location: Northern Country, snowy field, dusk]
Snow: You really have become a respectable Sage. I thank you for always giving your all to fulfill your role.
Akira: I was just saying the truth.
Akira: I’ve always been receiving reassurance from both you and White ever since I came to this world.
Snow: Hohoho, I am delighted. Dear Sage, would you mind stooping down a little?
Akira: Like this? ...Wah!?
Snow: This is for the kind, good Sage.
Akira: (I had my head patted…. It’s embarrassing, but my chest feels warm)
Snow: Hohoho, I would love to dote on you more, but it seems that our ride back home is here.
Oz: Hey, the sun will soon set..
Akira: Oz, Figaro. It’s already time to go back.
Figaro: I see you were so into it that you lost the track of time. Did you find the flower?
Snow: Yes. We did not find anything but a single flower. Still, we have obtained it.
Oz: ...Only one?
Figaro: I’m sure you can find lots by using magic, though?
Snow: I was thinking I’d also give this flower-seeking story with the Sage as a present to White.
[Location: Akira’s room, day]
Akira: Zzz….
[sound of a door knock]
Akira: Whoa, w-what was that!?
[door opens]
Snow and White: Happy anniversary☆
Akira: Snow, White, what’s the matter? It’s still early in the morning.
Snow: Today is an anniversary, so we came to invite you. You shall spend the day with us!
Akira: Eh? Wasn’t it supposed to be just for the two of you?
Snow: It is a new anniversary from today on!
White: It’s our “Looking at aurora flower” anniversary!
Akira: Eeh!?
Snow: Dear Sage, we shall make haste and prepare. Our schedule is packed right from the morning!
White: When night falls, you shall hold our frame, and look at the aurora flower with us at the courtyard!
Akira: That sounds great to me, but is it really okay for me to join your anniversary?
Snow and White: Absolutely!
White: I received the aurora flower from Snow. You helped in finding it, didn’t you Sage?
White: This kind of extraordinary gift doesn’t come often!
Akira: (...White looks so happy, and Snow too.)
Snow: Now, we cannot stand around like this. Dear Sage, come, get out of your bed.
White: Today is now our anniversary; the three of us. We cannot afford to waste even one second.
Akira: Uh, um, yes!
Snow: We will assist your preparation. Here, your socks.
White: And I shall fix your bed hair.
Akira: I can do them myself, thank you!
Snow: No need to hold back. We are your wizards, after all.
White: It is best to brace yourself for the most unforgettable anniversary you will ever have!
Snow and White: Yay yay!
Both Snow and White faced each other and shared a burst of laughter. Snow is there by White’s side. White is there by Snow’s side.
Seeing how happy they are, I let out a small laugh.
Card Episode: Anniversary for The Five of Us
[Location: Manor dining hall, day]
Akira: Snow, do you have a lot of anniversaries to share with White?
Snow: Indeed. Initially, we began making them for fun, but we come to love every single celebration we do.
Snow: Though, I often forget things and make White upset.
Akira: Ahaha….
Akira: By the way, do you have anniversaries to celebrate with someone other than White? Like Oz or Figaro.
Snow: Now that I think of it, perhaps I might have, might not have….
Snow: Probably with Figaro, but I am not sure about Oz, since he’s a shy boy.
Akira: (Is he, now…?)
Snow: It is a matter of grave significance. I shall consult White, and arrange a new anniversary to celebrate with our lovely disciples.
Akira: Oh, an anniversary for the four of you!
Snow: Five. You, too, shall celebrate this anniversary.
Akira: Is it alright if I celebrate it too?
Snow: Why, yes! Now, what kind of anniversary would it be? I shall hold a meeting with White first and foremost.
Snow: White is good at making anniversaries. He ought to have a great idea.
Akira: I’m looking forward to it!
Special Home Screen Line
Snow: I love to match! I especially like this white hat! The purple rose makes a wonderful accent, don't you think?
Note: Yes, it's the same as White's!
