A Miraculous Doctor
Akira: It’s fine and all to come all the way here to read the Sage’s Manual, but… I’m finding it harder and harder to concentrate. Guess it’s better to take a break.
Mitile • Riquet: Oh, hello Master Sage!
Akira: Hi Mitile and Riquet. Oh, and Rutile, too… Are you all going to study here today?
Rutile: Yes! I thought it would be fun to change places once in a while.
Mitile: We’re in a library, so we have to be a bit quieter than usual... But somehow, I feel like I’ll concentrate better here!
Riquet: Yes, I really like the quiet atmosphere here. I, too, will try my best to concentrate!
Rutile: Then let's all sit down at those desks over here, shall we? Master, we’ll take our leave then!
Akira: (So it means they’re going to study here too, huh? Then, I’ll try harder too…)
Akira: But... Huh? I wonder why everything starts spinning…?
Rutile: Ah, Master...!
゜✭・.・✫・゜
Akira: Nggh…? Huh...? Why am I in my bed…?
Figaro: Good morning, Master Sage. You have a lovely sleeping face.
Akira: Ah, Figaro! Why are you in my room?
Figaro: Master, you collapsed in the library. And so, I was called by Rutile and the others there. They were all very worried about you, you know?
Figaro: But guess you can say that I am pretty lucky? Since thanks to this, I could experience a precious chance of carrying Master Sage in my own arms.
Akira: Is that so... So you’re the one who carried me here?
Figaro: You’re as light as a feather, so don’t worry too much about it. Well, I’d be troubled if it was Oz that collapsed, though. No way I’m going to princess carry Oz, right?
Akira: (I… kind of want to see that...)
Figaro: Anyway! That's quite a fever you've got there. I've given you medicine to reduce fever, but how are you feeling?
Akira: I'm feeling much better now. Thank you very much, Figaro. Ah, I have to go and thank Mitile and the others...
Figaro: ‘Kaay, stop.
Akira: Eh...?
Figaro: Nope, you have to keep resting for now. Your fever went down thanks to the medicine, but if you push yourself too hard, it will come back.
Akira: But… My body feels much lighter now, so I think I'll be alright…
Figaro: You see, Rutile and the others were very desperate when they asked me to heal the Master Sage.
Figaro: Since they have asked me that cutely, there’s no way I’m not going to put my all into this. You understand, right?
Akira: Uhm… Put your all into what...?
Figaro: Into looking after you, of course. That being said, I’ll be looking after you this whole day, so look forward to that!
Figaro: Oh, and please rest at ease. I'll do my best to keep this as a happy and wholesome occasion.
Akira: (I wonder why, but... I've got a bad feeling about this...)
Episode 2
A Miraculous Doctor
Figaro: Master Sage, I'm going to check your temperature, so lend me your forehead for a sec, okay?
Akira: (Figaro's hands are big... And it’s cool to touch, so it feels nice...)
Figaro: ...I think your fever has risen a little again. Guess it’s all thanks to medicine that it was down just now.
Akira: I'm sorry to trouble you like this, Figaro...
Figaro: Now now, no need to look that worried. Why, because I'm an outstanding doctor.
Figaro: Even in the case that my treatment failed and you died, I'll turn you into a zombie and bring you back to life.
Akira: A zombie...?!
Figaro: That's right. That way, you can stay with us forever, right? Does it not catch your fancy?
Akira: Rather than that... Being a zombie is a bit…
Figaro: I see, what a shame. Well, no need to worry, I was just joking.
Akira: (Was that really a joke…? I can’t really tell with Figaro...)
Figaro: By the way, Master Sage. It's good and all that you’re a studious person, but could it be that you’ve been staying up late recently?
Akira: Uhm... It's not every day, but sometimes there are days when I just can't sleep right away…?
Figaro: Knew it. Then, here's something for you since you’ve been a bad kid, Master Sage.
Akira: What is this...? It's pitch black, and it's bubbling...
Figaro: Of course it’s a medicine. Ah. By the way, you have to take it all at once or else it won't work its magic.
Akira: (Drinking this at once… I’m really not looking forward to it...)
Figaro: Come on, do your best! Nothing will happen if you just keep staring at that medicine like that.
Akira: Okay... I'll do my best...
Akira: (This is... Somehow it managed to taste even worse than it looks...!)
Akira: It’s... Definitely a taste that will leave an impression in my mind...
Figaro: I'm glad you enjoyed it. By the way, I didn't tell you yet what the medicine is for, right?
Akira: Huh? It's a cold medicine, right...?
Figaro: You see... It’s a medicine that will turn you into a zombie.
Akira: WHAT!?
Figaro: Ahaha! That was a lie, a lie. I just thought that it would be fun to see your reaction.
Akira: (It feels like I've been played for a while now...)
Figaro: Now, all you need to do is to lie down and have a good rest.
Figaro: I'll just sit here and read this book. If you feel worse for wear, you can always call me.
Akira: ...Thank you very much, Figaro. Then, I’ll sleep...
Akira: .....
Akira: (What should I do, I just don’t feel sleepy at all...)
Figaro: ...Are you having trouble sleeping?
Akira: Yes... I think it’s because I'm burning up, so I'm having trouble falling asleep...
Figaro: I see. Would you like to hear an old story to help you sleep better?
Akira: An old story?
Figaro: Yes. A very special story.
Episode 3
The Divine Doctor
Figaro: Well then, Master Sage. What story would you like to hear?
Akira: Let's see, uhm...
Figaro: You can ask me anything. For example, how about an embarrassing story about Oz when he was young? Or maybe Faust's secret that he can't tell to anyone?
Figaro: What do you think, Master Sage? They all sound very interesting, right?
Akira: Well... I’m definitely interested, but… I want to wait until they tell me about it themselves.
Figaro: I know you will say that. After all, you’re such an earnest person, Master Sage.
Figaro: Then, can I ask you a question instead? Since you’re an earnest person, I’m sure you can answer this.
Akira: A question for me...? Okay, I’ll try my best in answering you.
Figaro: Thank you. Then Master Sage… What is love?
Akira: Lo- love...? A philosophical question out of the blue again…?
Akira: (I wonder how I should answer this... Uhm, love... Love...?)
Figaro: .....
Figaro: .....’Kay, time's up. It’s time to sleep, our kind and earnest Master Sage.
Figaro:《 Possideo 》
゜✭・.・✫・゜
Akira: Ngh...?
Akira: Huh... I thought I had a fever, but I feel well now...
Akira: (I wonder when did I fall asleep... Uhmm, I can't remember at all...)
Figaro: Good morning, Master Sage. Did you sleep well?
Riquet: Master Sage, I'm glad to see that you've looked better now.
Mitile • Rutile: Really...! We were very worried!
Figaro: Everyone said that they want to come and see your condition themselves. Master Sage is a very popular one, huh?
Akira: I'm sorry for making you all worried... As you can see, I'm already feeling better now!
Rutile: It must be because Dr. Figaro has been taking care of you. Thank you very much, Doctor.
Figaro: Well, Master Sage also gave it their all. Even drank the medicine to the last drop, even though it was a really bitter one.
Figaro: Not to mention, I've given a special service this time.
Figaro: Hey, Master Sage... My magic has worked its magic, didn't it?
Akira: Magic...? Oh, could it be that time...
Figaro: Ahaha, bullseye! You fell asleep so quickly, that I felt a bit lonely, though.
Rutile: Well then… Master Sage is still recovering, so let's take our leave now.
Figaro: I agree. Master Sage, you should take it easy for today, is that clear?
Akira: Yes... Thank you, Figaro.
Figaro: Oh, and...
Akira: (Wow, your face’s too close, Figaro...)
Figaro: That story is a secret just between you and me, okay?
Akira: That story...?
Figaro: ‘Kay, shall we go now?
Akira: (What story…? Ah, is it about when he asked what love is?)
Akira: Love, love... Just what is love…? I don’t know...
Akira: If I think about it too hard, I feel like my fever will come back...
