I made this blog to post translations and summaries for Yumekuro!
Here's a small disclaimer: I am definitely not fluent in Japanese. My knowledge of the language is a bit wobbly though I usually understand quite well. Nonetheless, please don't expect my translations to be 100% accurate, because they probably aren't.
There is a general lack of Yumekuro content on the internet, so my purpose here is to make it a bit more accessible for people who are interested in it!
This said, as long as you credit me, you're completely free to translate or share my posts anywhere you want, really! The more we are, the merrier🌟
If you have any requests of content you'd like to see being translated, ask away! as long as I have the material I'll gladly translate it~
Thank you for reading, and don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all!

Introductions: I’m Oscar, a gourmet from the Gastronomy guild. I’m looking from culinary delights never seen before. If you have faith in your skills, come visit Édouard Castle anytime.
MC first impression: I don’t remember much. When I met her I had been possessed by Feld and was gone mad with rage. I did however notice the frighetened expression on her face beside me—— and I could sense that she was a girl with the ability to perceive the true nature of things around her.
Feld first impression: He is always angry, he seems like someone who is constantly burning a lot of calories. With all that fussing you would think he would get hungry but… I found surprise in finding out he did not know the joy of eating. One day, I will surely find something Feld will find truly delicious from the bottom of his heart.
Meister you’re close with: Hm. Volks from Yume Tsumugi has often been of help to me. He has introduced me to rare dishes typically presented to royalty. Recently, I have also been conversing about food with Itsuki more; his cooking skills are wretched, but his passion for food is genuine.
Kuchen
Introductions: I’m Kuchen, the chocolatier of the Gatronomy Guild. Basically, I only think about making chocolate. Nice to meet you.
MC first impression: Miss serious and uptight. And so easy to read. Every time I would say something, she’d react exactly as I expected, which made me chuckle a bit. Though as expected of a workaholic, she understood my stance [on work]. In this regard, I felt she was different from the girls that usually approach me.
Caprice first impression: When I look at him, things like cakes and marshmallows come to mind. At first, he was constantly clinging to me, which was proving to be quite a bother… but, well, he’s cute in many ways.
Meister you’re close with: We’re not exactly close, but… there’s this Asahi guy at Tokohana, yeah? He sent me a letter saying he’s a fan of my chocolate. Even now, when I release some new stuff, after a while I receive some enthusiastic reviews from him.
Cuit
Introductions: I’m Cuit, the chef of the Gastronomy Guild. I love seeing people’s smiles when they eat delicious food. I hope that my cooking can increase the number of those smiles… though I’m still very much in training for that.
MC first impression: I met her during a very hectic time, with the Grand Ball and Oscar’ thing going on, so she gave me a very strong impression of being a very reliable girl. Also… to be honest, I thought she was really cute… especially the smile on her face as she ate…
Fidel first impression: Fidel is very good at time management. Whenever I receive his advice, I realise how inefficient I am. Whenever I have some spare time, I try to give teach him some manners… though it’s fine by me, I wish he’d be a bit more gentle [in general/with others].
Meister you’re close with: My big brother and Riche, obviously… I also talk to Walter quite often, I guess. Also, lately I’ve been visiting the Tsukiwatari Guild Home to teach Itsuki how to cook, together with Gran… it’s really fun.
Riche
Introductions: I’m Riche, a sommelier belonging to the Gastronomy Guild. It is my pleasure to meet you. If you want to learn about wine, please feel free to pay me a visit anytime. But please… NEVER step foot past the gates of Édouard castle with the impure motive of wanting to see my older brothers.
MC first impression: Let’s see… well, I felt she was different from other women. She’s loyal to her role as guild keeper and very dedicated to her duties. She also seemed to have excellent communication skills, though she immediately forewent honorifics with my brother… I do not like that, but I do admire her diligence and seriousness.
Cher first impression: He doesn’t even seem to know the meaning of autonomy… they’re a troublesome black fairy. However, I have to recognise that his passion for alcohol is genuine. He often comes to me begging for knowledge. If only he could fix his drinking habits, we could become good friends… though it’s only a maybe.
Meister you’re close with: …Whenever I have some trouble, I rely and consult Walter for advice. Is it tolerance or pressuring…? I’m not sure, but either way I find myself talking to him.
Walter
Introductions: I’m Walter, a poison expert of the Gastronomy Guild. …My main job is to transform poisonous ingredients into gourmet dishes. I also serve as the Duke’s attendant. Also… I often lend an ear to the three brother’s stories.
MC first impression: …Since she’s so small, I ended up looking down on her. She looked frightened. I feel regret that I couldn’t have her meet the Duke right away, and that my explanations were so lacking to cause her troubles.
Mystico first impression: He’s a strange fellow. He seems to be trying to uncover my secrets, but… I don’t really have anything that would please him, so I’m unsure what to do. Right now, I often end up making him angry, but… I hope someday I can create a secret that will satisfy him.
Meister you’re close with: It’s not that we’re exactly close, but… I’ve sworn my loyalty to the Duke. As long as he allows it, I intend to follow him for life.
hello yuki! it's been a while... i hope you're doing well 🥹 i'm two weeks late, but i'm pretty desperate for ymkr fanbook translations... you don't have to do it now, but i was wondering if you would still do translations for them?
this is pretty out of topic but i also want to thank you for translating yumekuro's stories. i only saw very few ymkr translated contents back then compared to other fandoms i was active in (though, maybe i was not looking hard enough ;;), so seeing you doing translations really helped me with understanding the characters, even if they are not my own oshis (← i'm just interested in everyone's stories in general...!)
this is also just as random as the previous paragraph, but it's crazy how yumekuro is still a big part of my daily lives in this very second despite everything. do you feel the same too? regardless of the answer, i still hope that life is treating you well, and happiness follows you everywhere you go ☀️
Hello! Wow, this message made my day and it lowkey got me feeling a bit emotional!! I'm very happy to see someone still loving yumekuro to this day<3 To be totally honest with you, the game hasn't been in my mind a lot as of recently; my object permanence is terrible, and without the events and dailies to keep me around, I haven't been thinking of it much. Regardless, I've been keeping the game and the characters really close to my heart all along, as they never stopped being important to me.
As for the fanbook translations I can definitely try to go back to working on it! In the pic below is the content that's missing from my translations:
(ignore the typos I wrote it quickly at 6am before leaving the house)
The only ones I'd skip are the side characters and the black fairies, because there's nearly zero new information and i really... REALLY do not care about the fairies uhm😭 sorry!
As for the pics (like the beta designs), I'll see about posting them here OR uploading them on the wiki if I can get ahold of the other admins (I have zero idea how fandom wikis work because some coding is required and I don't go there).
This said, my schedule for the next two months is going to be a bit tight because of uni exams, but I'll see if I can find some time inbetween to tl something... hopefully I manage to translate everything and not lose myself ahah😅
In any case, thank you for your kind words. Yumekuro never catching the attention of the translation community is what mainly pushed me to open this blog, so I'm glad it allowed people to find out more about the game and enjoy it!! I also wish you the best and hope you never let go of your love for the game, anon☀️
EDIT: the date of the eos is actually nov 19th, not 29th like i mistakenly wrote😭 i apologise for the misunderstanding🙏
Hello everyone!
Though I hoped the day would never come, here I am. As some of you may know, as of today, the Yumekuro team has announced end of service, and the game will go offline on November 19th 2024. After such date, they will release an offline version of the game for us to view illustrations and read stories, although many functions (like dates/odekake) won't be available anymore. For further details, I suggest everyone checks their official twitter account.
Now, where does this leave my blog? I will try to translate as much content as I can, because i believe that archiving and preserving content that could easily vanish off the internet without trace is really important. Although these are my intentions, considering the way uni is starting soon and how it can be an extremely taxing job, I'm not sure I'll be able to fully upkeep this goal. Regardless, I will give it a try.
Thank you so much for having given this game a try, everyone!

Cinis: Yes. The restaurant that was renovated from an old castle that is the currently trending on Magic Lineー
Cinis: The food is delicious, and it is so popular that it is booked up for two years in advance.
Emma: I heard that you won a meal ticket to a luxurious restaurant as a prize for winning a game tournament...
Emma: I feel a little sorry that we have rented out such a place just for us.
Cinis: The identity of the "Demon King" (TN: his gaming nickname) is top secret. It can't be helped.
Cinis: Now, let us go, servant (TN: it’s the first time I’m translating Cinis so some of you may not know but he refers to Emma as “しもべ” aka servant/menial). Fine wines and celebratory dinner await us.
Emma: Yes..!
After enjoying our meal, we sat on the balcony, enjoying the night breeze.
Emma: All the dishes were delicious.
Cinis: Did you enjoy them?
Emma: Hehe, yeah! I think it’ll help me do my best again tomorrow.
Cinis: I see. That's good.
Cinis: …
Emma: Cinis?
Cinis’ expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look straight at me.
Cinis: Servant. Isn't it time to change jobs?
Emma: Huh?
Cinis: ...It's been a while since you became my servant and then my lover.
Cinis: Isn't it about time you became the Demon King's "Queen" in both name and reality?
Emma: (! That's what "Job Change" meant.)
Cinis: There will be times when we have to go through hardships due to the difference in race between humans and vampires.
Cinis: But even so, I can't imagine a life without you, Emma.
Emma: Cinis…
Cinis: What about you? Are you ready to become the Demon King's companion?
Emma: ...Of course.
Feeling my heart filling with joy, I nodded vigorously.
Emma: Ah... but maybe I should wait a bit before changing jobs.
Cinis: !! Hmpf, I s-see. Maybe it was too sudden…
Emma: No, that's not it... I also like it when Cinis calls me "servant".
Emma: It may be a bit greedy of me, but I don't want to change jobs. I’d like to increase them. Is that okay?
Cinis: ..!!
Cinis: ….Fu…Fuwahah. I see. Good, that is what’s expected of the Demon King’s servant.
Cinis: You will continue to be my one and only servant... My beloved queen.
As Cinis held me in his arms, kissing my face, the shining moon in the sky up above watched over us.
Emma: I thought they were very kind and wonderful people. They were nice to me even though it was the first time we met...
Emilio: I see, I'm glad you thought so.
Emilio: Honestly, I thought they would disapprove of the wedding-
Emma: Eh, why?
Emilio: I thought they would say something like "Cyrus is the heir, and he's not married yet..."
Emilio: But that was a completely unfounded worry.
Emilio: I never thought they'd let us use the villa where we stayed together before… (TN: reference to a previous event)
Emma: Hehe, they said they wanted me to stay over but that it would be awkward if I stayed at my future in-laws' house. I think they are really kind parents.
Emilio once attended a birthday party for a certain nobleman as his father's representative.
I accompanied him as his partner and stayed at his parents' villa.
Emilio: We only lived together for a short time back then, but-

I Vow to You, the Shape of My Love - Home voicelines (Cyrus)
Normal
Cyrus: …Leaving out my bias as your lover, you look so sweetly cute in that dress that I just can't keep my hands to myself.
Cyrus: If you don't mind, would you like to practice dancing after this? Spending time with you will be a good way to relax.
Cyrus: …Even the places we've visited together in the past look different now that we're in love.
Sun
Cyrus: I can't imagine myself in 25 years, but I wish I could have you by my side like I did today and pledge my love to you once more... That's what I’d like.
Cyrus: Emma, I vow to you that I shall never abandon my pride as a knight and shall continue to fight for what I must protect.
Cyrus: ...Happiness may be this exact moment. I will forever pray that such peace will continue forever.
Moon
Cyrus: The more time we spend together, the more I love you, and it seems like these feelings have no limit.
Cyrus: I'm not good at talking… so I wish I could fully express my love for you through my actions.
Cyrus: ...Love is a frightening thing. To think that the self-control I had trained as a knight could crumble so easily.
I Vow to You, the Shape of My Love - Moon route chapter 3 (Cyrus)
>> choices recap
The wedding hall we entered was decorated with pure white flowers and ribbons, just like a real wedding venue.
Perhaps due to the lateness of the night, but there was no one else except for us.
Emma: I wonder if they put up all these decorations on purpose…?
Cyrus: Well, there’s not a lot of entertainment in Alstria.
Cyrus: So maybe they just wanted to celebrate the happy occasion.
Emma: It’s a wonderful thing that the people ruling the country are so loved.
Cyrus: Yes. And that is also the result of the royal family putting the people first.
Cyrus: Now then… let’s make a vow.
Cyrus-san led me by the hand as we walked across the carpet.
Emma: (It feels like a real wedding, I’m starting to feel a little nervous…)
When we reached the pulpit and I stood to face him, I didn’t know what to do.
Emma: Sorry, Cyrus-san.
Emma: I invited you on a whim, but I have no idea what to promise.
Cyrus: Ahah, is that so. I feel the same.
Emma: Thankfully we didn’t come at a crowded time.
Instead of scolding me, Cyrus-san just laughed, and I felt my nervousness dissipate just like that.
Emma: No one’s waiting, so let’s take our time to think about it slowly.
Cyrus: Let’s see… how about we look back on what’s happened so far?
Cyrus: That way, maybe, something you want to swear will come to your mind.
Emma: That’s a good idea, let’s try it.
Emma: —When we first met, you were a lot quieter than you are now.
Cyrus: I’m not good with words, and I don’t really talk much in the first place.
Cyrus: Although we both failed to grasp the distance between us… (?)
Cyrus: By the time I finished my mission of security guard, I already considered you as a “reassuring companion”.
Emma: Hehe, hearing you call me that made me really happy, you know.
Emma: Then… we preached about the “Day of love” together. Looking up date spots was really fun. (TN: Love Wrapped in Ribbons of Gratitude event)
Cyrus: …Back then, the day was saved because of you. If it was just me and Emilio, we would have been at a total loss.
Cyrus: I still treasure the ribbon I received at that time.
Emma: I also treasure it as well. I’ve turned its rose into a dried flower.
Cyrus: Huh… that makes me happy.
Cyrus: Thinking back, I was probably already attracted to you back then.
Cyrus: Although it took me a long time to express my feelings…
Emma: As for me, I finally realised my feelings when I met you in Kaiten. (TN: Onsen Village Overflowing With Love event)
Emma: But I didn’t have the courage to confess yet…
Cyrus: Let us be grateful to the Kaiten hot baths for bringing us closer.
Emma: Thanks to the effects of the hot springs, we were able to be honest with each other.
Our bond was strengthened by the harsh task of defending the fortress (TN: they’re referencing past card stories). Through the “Trial of Love”, we were able to nurture our love for each other.
As I reminiscence, my heart fills with all the emotions I’ve felt up until now.
Emma: Since we first met, up until now… you’ve always been so kind to me.
Emma: That is what I… truly love about you.
Cyrus: Emma…
As he gently stroked my cheek, I closed my eyes and our lips pressed together.
Cyrus: —Kissing like this makes it feel like a real wedding.
Emma: Fufu, that’s true.
We slightly parted our lips and looked at each other, our noses almost touching.
Cyrus: …I still am misunderstood by others quite a lot, and I’m not good with words.
Cyrus: But still, every time you say “I love you”, my heart trembles with joy.
Cyrus: I’m the one who loves you more and more every day…
Cyrus: To be honest, sometimes I struggle to control these feelings.
As if to convey his “feelings” for me, he pressed his lips against mine once more. He lightly pecked my lips again, and again, and again.
His gesture was so endearing it made my heart ache sweetly.
Emma: …I’m certain that’s the same for me.
Emma: From here onwards… I will surely love you more and more each day.
Emma: If every day we spend each other is going to be like this then surely one day… I want to promise you my future, in front of everyone.
Once I confessed my heartfelt wish, another kiss was dropped on my lips.
Cyrus: …in sickness and in health, for riches and for poor.
Cyrus: I vow to love, respect and cherish you, Emma.
Emma: (Cyrus-san…)
While I dreamt of that “someday” coming, I too spoke my vows.

>> moon route chapter 3
Continuing the patrol with Cyrus—
Before I knew it, the setting sun had painted the town red.
Cyrus: It's about time we head back to the castle.
Emma: Oh yes, it's almost time for the party to start.
It seems that the Fata Musica performance had finished, and I could hear people passing by commenting on the show.
Woman: Ahh, I was so moved I cried. I want someone to pledge their love to me like that...!
Man: It's not our silver wedding anniversary, but maybe I should pledge my love to her too...
Cyrus: ...The audience seems to have loved it.
Emma: Hehe, that's right. The scene where they pledge their love seems to be particularly popular.
Cyrus: That was certainly a wonderful scene.
Cyrus: Not only were the actors' performances great, but it's clear that Suzuka has worked hard on the dialogue. (TN: Suzuka is the script writer of Fata Musica)
Emma: Um, Cyrus-san... Do you usually watch a lot of plays?
Cyrus: Not really, why?
Emma: I think that watching the play while analysing the dialogue is quite professional.
Cyrus: Ah, I see... it might be that way because I read a lot of books.
Cyrus: Then, general knowledge and... maybe it's because I’m also very familiar with the folklore that inspired the story.
Cyrus: Suzuka has amazingly managed to adapt the script to be more moving while still keeping in line with the original.
Cyrus: Also, the impression you get from realism and the atmosphere is something you can't get from reading...
Emma: (Cyrus, it seems you enjoyed the Fata Musica performance more than I thought).
Emma: If you have the chance, would you like to go see another play with me?
Cyrus: Yes, I would love to. Let's take some time off sometime.
As we headed towards the royal castle, savoring the joy of making a new promise—
(change of location: royal palace)
Kent: Cyrus-san!!!
As soon as we entered the party venue, Kent came running up to us, waving.
Kent: Listen up, Emma! Vel-san and Suzuka-san praised me!!
Kent: "Your sword fighting, which was already good, has gotten even better." It's all thanks to Cyrus-san's guidance!
Cyrus: I didn't do anything special
Cyrus: It was you who worked hard and mastered the technique in a short time.
Cyrus: I hope you will continue to use the skills you have acquired on stage.
Kent: Nghh... for real, you're sooo cool, Cyrus...!
Kent: Today's performance was a great success! I wanna have a toast with you two!!
Cyrus: Oh, of course.
Emma: I'll go get some drinks!
The toast the three of us raised was delicious.
(change of location: town)
Cyrus: ...The town is pretty calm at this time of night.
Emma: There was a little scuffle, but I'm glad the festival ended safely.
We were on the way home from the fun party.
The day after was going to be a day off for both of us, so we decided to spend the night without any worries. As we walked to the inn...
Cyrus: ...Huh? The ceremonial/wedding hall is open at this time.
Light was streaming in from the windows of the wedding hall, and there was a sign propped up next to the door.
Emma: "Feel free to use if you have something to vow." Is it open just for today...?
Cyrus: Now that I think about it... people on their way home from the theater were saying "I want to pledge my love to my special someone."
Cyrus: They might have been referring to this.
Emma: (I can certainly understand why you'd want to pledge your love to someone after seeing that play...)
Emma: It would be a nice occasion, so why don't we give it a try as well?
I was a little tipsy, so I went ahead and asked him out.
Cyrus: ...what a coincidence. I was thinking the same.
EDIT: the date of the eos is actually nov 19th, not 29th like i mistakenly wrote😭 i apologise for the misunderstanding🙏

I Vow to You, the Shape of My Love - Moon route chapter 1 (Cyrus)
>> moon route chapter 2
After the military parade ended—
I was strolling around town with Cyrus.
The streets were lined with many stalls, and it was busier than usual.
Cyrus: ...It's about time for Kent and the others to start their performance.
Emma: I'm looking forward to seeing the audience's reaction.
Cyrus: Yesterday's dress rehearsal was flawless. I'm sure it will be a wonderful performance.
Emma: Speaking of wonderful things, the military parade was amazing!
Emma: It was powerful and well-organized. The audience was enthusiastic as well.
Cyrus: Although we practice forming a line on a regular basis…
Cyrus: Each knight in this military parade wanted to convey their own celebratory feelings.
Cyrus: If we have managed to convey such feelings to Albert-sama and everyone else, then I’d be elated.
Emma: Hehe, I’m sure that is the case.
Emma: The outfits were gorgeous, so the entire parade was impressive.
Emma: Since you were the leader of the parade, you particularly stood out a lot… you were very cool. Even without thinking about it, my eyes stuck to you the whole time.
Emma: Though maybe it’s just my biased opinion as your lover…
Cyrus, blushing: If it was enough to catch your eye, then that’s more than enough for me.
Cyrus looked embarrassed and lowered his gaze, an unusual action for him; then—
Man 1: Hey, you! You just stepped on someone's foot on purpose!
Man 2: What?! It wasn't me!
I could hear voices arguing from the line in front of the food stall.
Emma: (We have to stop them...)
I was about to rush over to them, but Cyrud calmly shook his head, stopping me with one hand.
Cyrus: Emma, wait here. Just to be safe.
Cyrus: What is going on?
Two men: GAHH!! C-Cyrus-sama!?
Cyrus: Everyone may have their own opinion, but discordance is not good on such a happy day.
Cyrus: I'm sure Albert-sama and Mia-sama would be heartbroken if they heard about such commotion.
Man 1: A-as…. as you say…..
Man 2: Uhh... I'm sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused, everyone.
Emma: (Good, everything turned out okay.)
Stall owner: Thank you, Cyrus! It's just a small token of my gratitude, but please accept it.
Cyrus: No, I just did my job. I don't deserve a thank you―
Stall owner: It's just a token of my appreciation! I'm grateful for your daily efforts to protect the town.
Cyrus: …I understand. If you say so, I will gratefully accept it.
After that, we patrolled for a while; then we decided to take a break.
Emma: Now that I think about it, what was in the small bag you bought―
Cyrus: ...These cookies were sold at a food stall. Why don't we eat some together?
Emma: Thank you.
The crunchy cookies had walnuts, Cyrus' favourites.
Cyrus: ...These are delicious.
Emma: Hehe. Then I’ll try making cookies like these as well next time.
Cyrus: I'm looking forward to it. Everything you make is delicious.
Cyrus: —Oh, sorry. I'll be back soon, so you can take your time and eat.
A bit further up where Cyrus was heading to, there was an old man looking around restlessly.
Emma: (Maybe he got lost. Cyrus has a good eye...)
He notices people in trouble right away and immediately lends a hand.
I once again realized how much I loved this kind-hearted man—
I Vow to You, the Shape of My Love - Chapter 5 (Cyrus)
>> moon route chapter 1
A tale from long ago—The princess of Alstria was kidnapped by an evil monster.
The one who stepped up to the role of hero was a certain commoner. The man swiftly took care of the monsters and rescued the princess.
On a beautiful moonlit night, the man, who was given the title of Royal Knight, swore on his silver sword.
To be eternally loyal to the princess and her beloved country. And to protect her forevermore.
The princess answered his vow with a gold medal that was gifted to the man.
The two eventually got married and lived happily ever after, as they had promised.
…
Emma: ”The Tale of Eternal Vows” was really good…!
Cyrus: Yes. Thanks to all his practice, Ken’s swordplay was truly impeccable.
After watching the dress rehearsal, Cyrus invited me to dinner, and we were going for a night walk in the street.
Cyrus: I never thought that Alstria's ancient legends could be turned into such a magnificent play when performed by first-class artists…
Emma: The customs of Alstria's silver and golden wedding anniversaries originate from the legend that this play is based on, right?
Cyrus: Yes. If you’re referring to the custom where “men swear on their sword on their silver anniversary, and women gift their spouses a golden medal on their golden anniversary”, then that is very much the case.
Cyrus: Obviously, as someone born and raised in this country, I knew that such a custom existed, but…
Cyrus: I had never really reflected on it until I saw the play.
Cyrus: It got me thinking about what kind of vows I would make.
Emma: What kind of vows are the most common?
Cyrus: Let me think… I've heard a lot of people say things like "I'll protect you for the rest of my life”.
Emma: Fufu, it is a country of knights, after all.
Cyrus: My parents had their silver wedding anniversary last year, and my father made a similar vow.
Cyrus: At their request, I closely attended the vows by their side with Emilio, but…
Cyrus: It was kind of embarrassing to see my parents like that.
Emma: From a child's point of view, that may be true... but it's really a wonderful thing.
Emma: You are the life that was the result of their union, so I do understand why they’d want you to watch over the ceremony.
Cyrus: …that makes sense. Maybe I'll understand that feeling when I become a parent someday— Oops.
Suddenly, our hands bumped together
Emma: …!
Just like that, Cyrus grabbed my hand.
Player’s choice: Look up at Cyrus (+16 moon points)* // Return the gesture (+16 sun points)
I looked up and met Cyrus’ eyes, who was smiling with a troubled look on his face.
Emma: What’s wrong?
Cyrus: ...I thought I was a person with self-control, but it seems I was wrong.
Cyrus: When you're around... I just feel like touching you.
Cyrus, blushing: ...Look at me, saying such things all of a sudden. Apologies.
Emma, also blushing: D-don’t say that…
Cyrus cleared his throat to lighten the embarrassing atmosphere.
Cyrus: …finally, tomorrow is the anniversary.
Emma: I'm really looking forward to the military parade you’ll be the leader of.
Cyrus: I'll do my best to make it a happy day. Please keep watching over me.
As my heart swelled with anticipation, the night before the festival passed quietly—
