camichi!

For this month’s cover, the wizards from the Southern Country gathered in their third anniversary outfits to talk about their happiest memories ever since they were selected as Sage’s wizards. 

Rutile: After all, we’re living in the same place now, right?

Figaro: Right. I saw Rutile and Mitile often in the past, but I’ve never spent this much time with Leno before.

Mitile: Mister Leno was a shepherd, so we could only see him when he came back to town during winter.*

Lennox: Oh. I spent a lot of time living in the mountains with the sheep. It’s been a long time since I’ve had people by my side everyday. It’s been very lively.

Rutile: Every year when Mister Leno came back from the mountains, I used to greet him. It makes me happy that we can spend time together every day now!

Lennox: Haha, thank you. I feel the same way.

Figaro: Hey, you two, what about me?

Mitile: I’m happy that we get to see Doctor Figaro everyday!

Rutile: Ever since we started living together, and started going on various missions, we’re able to go to places we’ve never been before. We even flew to the edge of the Southern Country for the holy festival! 

Mitile: That’s where Muumuu lives! It’s a really nice place with lush vegetation and it smells like the sun. It’s far away, but I want to visit again! 

Lennox: We also traveled to the garden of eternal rain. It is thanks to everyone that I was able to mourn and pay my respects to the feelings Colin left behind. …The rain was very nice.

Figaro: I was surprised when I heard that there was an underground palace in the frontier of Southern Country. An ancient type of magical creature was sealed away there. But thanks to the cooperation of everyone, we were able to protect the land. 

Rutile: When we went to the town with the clock tower, we stayed there for a while to help with the reconstruction of the town. It was a little sad to see the village children say goodbye to their beloved Miss Claire, but… they were all so strong and clever. I encouraged them lots.

Mitile: I am happy that we were all able to go to Doctor Figaro’s clinic, too, didn’t we? I was acting selfishly at that time, but the clinic is very important to me. I don’t want anything serious like that to happen again, but if anything happens, we’ll protect it!

Lennox: We could talk endlessly. It hasn’t been that long since we came to the manor, but I have so many memories.

Rutile: There aren't all happy memories, but… I’m always happy that everyone is able to return safely to the manor. 

Mitile: Me too. We all eat dinner together, and sleep under the same roof, saying “I’m a little tired today.” The next morning, when we leave our rooms, we might run into each other and laugh about the bedhead you weren’t able to fix.

Figaro: Those kinds of trivial moments make me smile. No matter how difficult the day before was, I can wake up saying “I’m sure I’ll be fine today.” 

Lennox: Yes. I feel like the days that have passed by are irreplaceable. It would be nice if we could live in peace forever, without leaving anyone behind. To attain such a future, I’m not afraid to test my limits. 

Rutile: Please don’t be reckless. Mister Leno, who always protects us, is cool, but we would be sad if you got hurt…

Mitile: Please count on us as well. I’ll do my best to become strong enough to protect Mister Leno and Doctor Figaro so that we can continue having fun, just like this!

Figaro: You’re reliable, but let’s do our best in moderation so that we can laugh again together like this. 

Lennox: Every day spent at the manor is a series of surprises and discoveries. I’m sure that there will be new memories to come. 

Rutile: That’s a really happy thing, isn’t it? Come to think of it, there’s that time when… Oh, once we start talking, it seems like we won’t be able to stop! If you don’t mind, why don’t we continue our conversation in my room after this?

Mitile: That sounds nice! I have some leftover snacks that Mister Nero secretly shared with me yesterday, so I’ll take them with me.

Figaro: Can I take some booze with me? I have some whiskey that Shylock saved for me. 

Mitile: Huh, but it’s only noon!?  

Lennox: Ah, you’re talking about the one that you mentioned that when you combine it with herbal tea, it turns into a medicinal liquor? I had a bit of it at the bar, and it tasted good. 

Rutile: Ah….! I want to try that… I’d like to try it too, Mitile. Come on, just a little bit!

Mitile: Even my brother is…. Fine, it can’t be helped. Only in moderation!

Rutile: Yay!

Figaro: I’m glad we were able to get your permission. I’ll see you all in Rutile’s room later, then. There should be some dried fruits left on my shelf, so I’ll bring some. 

Lennox: Well, I’ll stop by the kitchen and ask Nero if there is any fruit left over. Hopefully there is something that will go well with the herbs.

Mitile: …Ehehe.

Rutile: I’m looking forward to it, Mitile! 

Mitile: Yes!
