Prologue
Outlander Richard ...Mm. This is quite worrisome. | |
Outlander Sullivan Oh my, Richard. Contemplating something, are we? | |
Outlander Richard Ah, Sullivan. I was just thinking, there ought to be a library of some sort around this place. | |
Outlander Sullivan Library? | |
Outlander Richard Right. It seems that great pains were taken to bring us here to ‘this’ world. | |
Outlander Richard It’s really aggravating my curiosity as someone who’s eager to read anything I’ve never read. I’ve just got to get my hands on every last magic tome they’ve got! | |
Outlander Sullivan ... How aggressively ambitious you are. | |
Outlander Sullivan Moreover, though, considering the “borrowing” system in place at most libraries, I believe that “getting your hands on” those books will be quite difficult. | |
Outlander Richard You… a bit unexpected of you to put it so bluntly. | |
Outlander Sullivan Just putting your gross lack of responsibility out in the open, that’s all. | |
Outlander Sullivan ...Oh well, not that it matters. I must admit, I’ve also been thinking I’d like to know more about this island’s geography and cultural customs. | |
Outlander Sullivan I’ll go along with you on your little library hunt. | |
Outlander Richard Alright, then! Even if it’s you, Sullivan, it’s not like we’ve got any other world-crossers with the experience to help us anyway! | |
Outlander Sullivan ... Hm? Just now, I might have caught something that sounds like another person talking… | |
Outlander Richard Oh! What a fantastic coincidence, we’ve found a guy who definitely looks like he knows his way around a library! | |
Outlander Sullivan Huh…? To think that someone with a personality so easily readable could even exist… | |
Klug Hmhmhmhmmm~♪ I wonder which book I should check out from the library today~! | |
Outlander Sullivan There we have it…… | |
Outlander Richard Quick, let’s follow him! | |
Outlander Richard Whoa… this place is even nicer than I expected. | |
Outlander Sullivan Yes, they appear to have quite an impressive collection of books here. Seems my research will be made much easier as well. | |
Outlander Richard Aah! The book on that shelf over there…! | |
Outlander Sullivan Richard… this is a library. Raising your voice like that will… | |
Outlander Richard This is exactly the kind of magic tome I’m looking for! This ominous aura emanating from the spine... there’s no mistaking it!! | |
Outlander Sullivan ...I’ll just circle around to the other side of the building and pretend I don’t know him. | |
Outlander Richard Hehe… this magic tome is… | |
Klug Absolutely pertinent to my interests! | |
Outlander Richard, Klug Huh!? | |
Outlander Richard Um… I’m quite certain that I’m the one who saw this book first. | |
Klug No, it was me! See, I’ve had my eyes on it ever since the last week I was here. | |
Outlander Richard Hmph. Then it’s your own fault, you clearly didn’t see any reason to prioritize it. | |
Klug Well, I see no particular reason to step back for the likes of you either, now do I? | |
Io Excuse me, you two! Lower your voices inside the library! | |
Outlander Richard ............ | |
Klug ............ | |
Outlander Richard whisper whisper... (Well then, I suppose we’ll have to resort to That.) | |
Klug whisper whisper... (In this situation, there’s no other choice.) | |
Outlander Richard, Klug whisper whisper…!! (Puyo Puyo Battle!!) |
Epilogue
Outlander Richard Now then, I do believe I'll be the one reading this book first. | |
Klug H… Hmph…! Well, I must admit I did spend an uncharacteristic all-nighter with my reading last night. | |
Klug Maybe that ought to be the more enviable accomplishment here! | |
Outlander Richard ... Jeez. That guy’s inflated ego sure is reminiscent of a very certain someone out there. | |
Outlander Sullivan And just who might that Certain Someone be, I wonder? | |
Outlander Richard Bwah! Don’t startle me out of the blue like that! | |
Outlander Sullivan Says the one who just caused a careless disturbance himself…? | |
Outlander Sullivan Anyway, have you found any books with the info we’re looking for? | |
Outlander Richard Right! But of course, I’ve got one right here that looks rather tantalizing, wouldn’t you say? | |
Outlander Sullivan S… Suuure, if you say so… | |
Outlander Sullivan (It seems pretty ordinary, but after looking again, the cover gives off a suspicious aura…) | |
Outlander Richard Heheh, naturally. No matter which page you open it to, these inscriptions are chock-full of fascinating knowledge… | |
Outlander Richard ...... Hm? | |
Outlander Sullivan Did you find something? | |
Outlander Richard No, look. There’s a magic spell written here, but… | |
Outlander Sullivan Is this… the spell that was used to transport us over into “this” world…? | |
Outlander Richard It is. But look over here now. It seems whoever wrote this spell included a warning with it. | |
この魔術により 異世界へと わたった者は すみやかに 対となる存在に 成り代わるべし |
「Any person transported to a foreign world by way of this magic must quickly assume the place of their counterpart entity.」 |
さもなくば その身に 災い(わざわい)が ふりかかるであろう |
「Should they fail to do so, their body shall undergo a horrific and calamitous fate. 」 |
Outlander Sullivan In other words, this means… | |
Outlander Richard With this magic that was used to send us to “this” world… | |
Outlander Richard We need to find the versions of us that exist in “this” world and swap places with them ASAP, or things won’t end well for us, basically. | |
Outlander Sullivan Just what is this “calamitous fate” they’re referring to? | |
Outlander Richard Who knows? It doesn’t look like they’ve written anything more about it beyond that. | |
Outlander Sullivan ...This book is undeniably shady, but just for caution’s sake, let’s burn it as soon as we meet back up with Albert and the others at home. | |
Outlander Richard Yeah, we’ll do that. | |
Outlander Sullivan ... I must say it’s quite jarring to hear that from you, considering how thoroughly enamored you seemed to be with that dubious tome. | |
Outlander Richard Uuuhh... | |
Outlander Richard Alright, I get it! I’m sorry for saying you had an “inflated ego”! | |
Outlander Sullivan Oh, my… I’m not even broken up about that in the least. | |
Outlander Sullivan Your loose lips are a wholly familiar experience to me. Frankly, it gets exhausting to listen to. Hahahaha. | |
Outlander Richard Haah~... | |
Outlander Richard (His ego really is inflated in that respect, huh…) |
