runarunesChapter 1
Akira: Hello Snow, White. So you have something that you want to talk about to me and Oz…?
Oz: State your business.
Snow: Thank you for coming, Master, Oz.
White: We have a favor to ask of two of you.
Akira: (I wonder what it is... I mean, they even asked Oz for a favor, so it might be something really important…?)
Snow: We have predicted that tomorrow, some sort of accident is going to happen at the magical manor.
Akira: Accident...? What kind of...?
White: That remains to be seen. Alas...
Snow: We feel like going for a walk in the city tomorrow!
White: Therefore, we'd like to request the two of you to take part in the irregular "Whimsical Magic Manor Patrol" that the two of us have been holding!
Akira: (I didn't even know that there was such a patrol here...)
Oz: Don't use me as a means to kill time.
White: And you should cease that oh so glum-looking face of yours. For we are doing this for your own good, too.
Oz: Explain yourself.
Snow: You're a man of few words, aren’t you? You're always troubling our dear Master because of that.
Oz: Is that so?
Akira: No, that's not true! Rather, Oz is always helping me!
Oz: That’s what Master said.
White: Master is a gentle, kind-hearted child, after all. Can't you see that they’re just being considerate of you?
Snow: You shall take this opportunity to deepen your bond with our Master.
Snow • White: Hohoho.
Oz: …….
Akira: (Oz definitely still has some complaints about this...)
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。
Akira: Oz! So you came...
Oz: The twins occasionally would ask me to do a favor for them. And generally, they would run around me in circles until I agreed to do it. It’s troublesome, and I want to avoid it.
Oz: Besides, the twins' prophetic powers are real. If something is going to happen, it'd be better to handle it before it goes out of control.
Akira: I see... Then, let’s do our best in patrolling together!
Faust: ......
Akira: Huh...? That's Faust, right...?
Akira: (He looks kind of restless...)
Akira: Faust, are you alright? If you need some help, we can lend you a hand.
Faust: Ah, Master… No, don’t worry about me..
Akira: And he's gone... It's unusual to see Faust coming out from his room. I wonder if something happened?
Oz: If there is some trouble, he would have said it already. We should prioritize to finish our own duty first.
Oz: Since as soon as the sun goes down, I won't be able to use my power. Let's go.
Akira: Ah, please wait, Oz...!
Chapter 2
Cain: Oh! Master Sage and Oz... Which means, you guys are on a patrol?
Akira: Hi Cain, Riquet... And even Arthur! How did you know about the patrol?
Riquet: We heard about it from Lord Snow and Lord White.
Arthur: We are also patrolling around here, in the case that there is anything we could do to help.
Cain: Well, there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable for now, though.
Riquet: If something happened, we'll make sure to let you know right away. Master Sage, Oz, let’s do our best!
Akira: Thank you, everyone. Let’s do our best!
Arthur: Ah, Lord Oz... Would you happen to have some time... Ah, I guess not...?
Oz: Do you have any business with me?
Akira: (Ah... I'm sure that Arthur wants to talk to Oz...)
Akira: Oz, we’re heading to the library next. I'm going ahead to take a look around there first, so let’s meet up later!
Oz: I see. I understand.
Arthur: Thank you, Master Sage! Well, Lord Oz... Actually at the training earlier...
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。
Akira: (Arthur looked so happy... I hope he could talk to Oz again, even if only a little.)
Akira: (And there doesn't seem to be anything unusual here at the moment... Oh...? That's...)
Cock Robin: Hmm-hmm-hmm… ♪
Akira: (It's Mr. Cock Robin... He's humming and all, it seems like he’s in a good mood. And is he doing his hair...?)
Akira: (But why would he carry a hand mirror to the library like this...? Just in case, I'll try to talk to him.)
Akira: Hello, Mr. Cock Robin.
Cock Robin: Oh, Master Sage! It seems like I've shown you something rather embarrassing...
Akira: Please don’t worry, it seems like you’re in a good mood. But what's up with that hand mirror?
Cock Robin: Someone left this in the library… Do you have any idea who it belongs to?
Akira: Hmm, I wonder... Can I have a look at it?
Oz: Master.
Akira: Ah, Oz? Whoa...!
Right after I heard Oz's voice, the hand mirror started to glow.
Oz: 《Vox Nox》
The light emitted from the mirror was blocked by Oz's magic before it could reach me.
As soon as the light subsided, limbs suddenly sprouted from the hand mirror.
Akira: Wh- What…?!
Akira: Ah… The mirror... Escaped…? Oz, thank you for saving me!
Oz: Did you not look directly into the mirror?
Akira: Yes, I didn’t. But...
Cock Robin: How fun! Hahahaha!
Akira: So Mr. Cock Robin did look at it, after all...
Chapter 3
Faust: Master Sage! I heard shouting, are you alright?
Akira: Ah. Faust, actually...
Faust: ......
Oz: What do you think about that? Only someone with a certain amount of power should be able to handle a tool like that.
Faust: ... I think that was a cursed hand mirror that belongs to me.
Akira: What! It’s cursed?! What kind of curse is it?
Faust: Anyone who looks directly into the mirror will become happy and then start laughing. Eventually, they won't even be able to speak.
Cock Robin: Hahahaha! This is fun...!
Akira: It's true...
Oz: So this is what the twins' prediction was about. I'll go after the mirror. I’ll leave breaking his curse to you.
Faust: All right. I'm sorry for troubling you.
Akira: Wait, Oz! I'm going with you!
Akira: (Oz, he's dutifully following what Snow and White told him to do...)
Akira: (He might not admit it, but Oz must think of them as his precious masters after all...)
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。
Akira: I caught it...! I shouldn’t look directly at this, right?
Oz: Yes. Keep your eyes closed and keep holding it like that.
Akira: Okay!
Oz: 《Vox Nox》
Mirror: EeeEEeeEek…….!
Akira: (Wow, what an ugly scream...)
Oz: Master, you may open your eyes.
Akira: Ah. The mirror is broken...
Akira: (If… Only if, but if Oz was cursed by this, then...)
Akira: I think I’d want to see it... Oz burst out laughing...
Oz: ..........
Akira: Sorry, please forget it...
Oz: Is that so.
Faust: So you managed to neutralize it... Thank you for lending me a hand, I really appreciate it.
Akira: Is Mr. Cock Robin alright?
Faust: Yeah, I lifted his curse. He's resting in the lounge now.
Akira: Thank goodness... I’m glad this was solved without further problems.
Oz: You're not managing that mirror properly. Why did you drop it in a place like that?
Faust: ...Sorry. I lent it to the twins, since they said they’re going to need it in their class.
Faust: Since morning, I’ve had a feeling that something bad is going to happen… I should’ve figured it out sooner, sorry.
Akira: So you're saying that it was Snow and White that dropped the mirror after all...?
Oz: Sigh... And they dared to say that they’d leave the patrol to us...
Akira: Haha... Well, it's just like those two to act like this.
Akira: Still, it’s a shame that such a beautiful mirror like this has to be broken, though…
Oz: Master, wait. It still has some magic left in it...
Akira: What?
Just as Oz warned me, I touched the mirror shard.
Immediately, the shard began to shine just like before.
Akira: Aaahh.....!
Faust: Master Sage!
Oz: Sigh...
