Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Card Episode





🕊️ Chapter 1

Chloe : Then, is it okay if we split up now?

Rustica : Sure, we can meet up again later. In the mean time, Murr and I will walk around the market.

Chloe : I'm sorry. Even though you both have spare some time to went together with me, I want to go shopping for a little longer...

Rustica : I don't mind. There are a lot of things to see here. We'll take our time looking at things.

Murr : Looking at things!

.
.

Rustica : ... Now, Murr. Until Chloe returns, what should we do. I wonder if there is any shop that serves tea around here.

Murr : Hey, there are so many people over there! A festival?

Rustica : Well, it seems to be a gemstone auction. It's so lively.

Murr : Looks fun! I'll go to take a look!

Rustica : Yes, I'll take a peek.

.
.

Young man : I bid four hundred thousand! Four hundred thousand!

Rich-looking woman : I shall bid four hundred and fifty thousand.

Big man : How about four hundred and sixty thousand!

Rustica : (... That stone. It looks like the real thing, however.)

Murr : That stone has no sparkle, right.

Rustica : As one would expect from you, how insightful. Right... It's regrettable...

Old man : Fi.. five hundred thousand!

Auctioneer : Five hundred thousand has been called! Seems like nobody else wants to raise! If so, the highest bid will go to the five hundred thousand bid!

Rustica : Excuse me, can I have one?

Auctioneer : Of course, fine gentleman over there!

Rustica : No, I don't want to bid, I want to ask you one question. A fake gemstone is being displayed to public. Are you going to sell it?

Auctioneer : What...!

Old man : ... It's a fake!? Oh, my goodness...

Town resident : What does this mean, auctioneer!? Check his license!

Auctioneer : ... Damn!

Murr : Ahaha! That uncle's face turned into a crushed toad face!

.
.

🕊️ Chapter 2

Old man : Who would have thought that the gemstone was fake... I almost purchased it. You have my deepest gratitude.

Rustica : I just happened to be there. But I'm glad for you.

Rustica : It would be really devastating if you got the fake gemstone, then realize it was fake.

Old man : It's just as you said. The truth is, I was looking for something as a heirloom for my grandchildren.

Rustica : I see, so the expensive gemstone is for that purpose.

Old man : That's why, I beg you... Can you please help me search for something? Both of you are connoisseurs.

Rustica : If you are alright with us, we'll gladly to.

Rustica : This Murr here has a deep history with gemstones, and I'm quite familiar with antique things. I think we can help you.

Murr : I, the specialist of seeking sparkling things!

Old man : Thank you! Now, I can meet my final resting place with peace of mind.

Murr : Meet up? Is there someone coming?*

Chloe : Sorry to keep you waiting, you two---!

Murr : He really came! The one who arrived was Chloe!

Chloe : Wha, what are you talking about!? Also, who is that old man!?

.
.

Rustica : --- And that's why, we are helping this person here to choose something suitable as a heirloom.

Chloe : So that's how it is. If that's the case, I'll help out too!

Rustica : Thanks, Chloe. How reassuring.

Rustica : Then, shall we go? Let's find a wonderful item worthy of his sincerity to care for his grandchildren.

* = The word, お迎え, can means meet or pick up someone and also final call




🕊️ Card Episode


The Reason Why I Love Art



Akira : I've heard that Rustica likes to collect art.

Rustica : That's right.

Akira : How do you enjoy them?

Rustica : I can't put it into words in one go, but it's when it's an entirely different item, but I feel an entirely different feeling.

Akira : What did that mean...?

Rustica : Ah, pardon me. I didn't explain it well... Then, for example...

Rustica : It's a teacup but it feels like spring, it's a painting but I feel sadness, and when it's a stone sculpture but it feels like the past, don't you think so?

Rustica : And that's why, I love beautiful things that have moved my heart. Surely, you want to keep them in your hands.

Akira : Ah, I see! I don't have any cat ears or tails, but the moment I feel the cat flavor on things, I felt the impulse to buy.

Rustica : Cat flavor.

Akira : It meant something that looks like a cat!

Rustica : Right! Master Sage was fond of cats!

Rustica : If you'd like, let's go to a flea market or an auction together this time.

Rustica : To find a cat flavored wonderful item, it's definitely going to be fun.

Akira : Yes, certainly!

Rustica : What kind of things that have moved Master Sage's heart, I'm really looking forward to find out.
