Episode 1-1 - “Al’āb Nārīya”
Scarabia Dorm – Jamil’s Room
Jamil Jamil	…Phew, and that should be all. I’ve somehow managed to squeeze mine and Kalim’s belongings into one bag. Even then… Our luggage is much larger than expected. Although it’s been a while since my last visit, I still think I bought too many souvenirs for my family. Kalim might have other things that he wants to bring with him on this trip, so I’ll go check on him.
Scarabia Dorm – Hallway
Jamil Jamil	Kalim is probably in his room… Hmm?
rolling sounds
Jamil Jamil	That person down the hall, isn’t that Kalim? Wh-What’s with all this luggage!?
Kalim Kalim	Jamiiiiil!!! Please heeeelp!!! I packed all my stuff for tomorrow but no matter how hard I try, I can’t lock up the bags!
Jamil Jamil	…I told you before that I’d be packing your luggage, right? So how did this happen!? Who would take eight suitcases with them on a trip to their hometown!? You’re not travelling long term, you know!
Kalim Kalim	Ehh? But I even cut down to just the essentials, y’know. There’s my favourite pillow, my pajamas, and…
Jamil Jamil	You already have those back home, there’s no need to pack them, right!?
Kalim Kalim	My cushion, my drum, my coconuts, and…
Jamil Jamil	They’re not necessities! The luggage I packed is all you need!
Kalim Kalim	What if there’s an emergency?
Jamil Jamil	Don’t worry, I was the one who prepared everything, remember? Nothing was left out.
Kalim Kalim	I see… Got it! It’ll be alright if Jamil handles it!
Jamil Jamil	I don’t have a choice since I have to worry about you…
Choice 1: Excuse me, may I speak with you for a moment?		Choice 2: Hello! May I speak with you for a bit?
Jamil Jamil Kalim Kalim	If it isn’t Yuu and Grim. What do you need?Yo, Yuu and Grim! What’s up?
Grim Grim	We were asked by the Headmaster to tell you guys that you were given permission to use the Mirror of Darkness.
Kalim Kalim	Is that so? Thanks! This means we can travel long distances in the blink of an eye.
Grim Grim	Are you guys going somewhere? Now that you mention it, you’ve got some huge luggage with you.
Kalim Kalim	“Al’āb Nārīya”
Grim Grim	What’s that? Is that the name of some delicious food?
Jamil Jamil	Al’āb Nārīya means “fireworks” in the ancient language of the Scalding Sands. Now, it is widely known as the “Yasmina River Fireworks Festival”.
Grim Grim	Ya… sami… na… Never heard of that, though?
Kalim Kalim	For real!? It’s a super duper famous fireworks festival, you know? Lots of international and domestic tourists come just to attend the festival! The bazaar and stalls sell all sorts of stuff, like pretty souvenirs and super colourful fruits, too! The key event is the fireworks that are launched at the end of the festival! In any case, it’s just amazing! I love this festival because of the energetic and excited atmosphere you can feel out in the streets!
Grim Grim	Ohh!! It sounds like fun!
Jamil Jamil	Although, on the other hand, some of the people in power exploit that to earn a quick buck…
Kalim Kalim	Right! Yuu, why don’t you join us too?
Translator's note: I decided to keep the Arabic words as is, including the names of the clothes, cards, and river. Al’āb Nārīya is the Arabic word for fireworks. Notably, in the katakana, there’s likely a Disney reference because in Japanese the kana used for Al’āb is usually アルアーブ (Aruaabu), instead of アリアーブ (Ariaabu). I chose Yasmina for the river and clothing name because it is Arabic for jasmine, and often used in names. Thank you to squidcandy who helped clarify and inform my decisions. Please inform me if I made any mistake in the interpretation/romanisation of the Arabic words

Episode 1-2 - Sorry But You Have To Give Up
Scarabia Dorm – Hallway
Kalim Kalim	I want Yuu, who came from another world, to personally witness the Yasmina River Fireworks Festival. Plus, I also wanna show you how amazing the Scalding Sands is!
Grim Grim	Fnagh~~! I wanna go too, yanno! There’s gonna be lots of tasty food, right!?
Kalim Kalim	Yeah! Everything there’s delicious! We welcome you, too, Grim!
Jamil Jamil	Wait just a minute! Don’t just carry on with the conversation like that! Are you sure you can make such decisions on a whim?
Kalim Kalim	Don’t be so stuffy, it’ll somehow work out, right? It’s just the spectator’s bleachers anyway.
Jamil Jamil	While it’s true that we can probably secure seats with our organiser privileges… But that’s not the problem!
Grim Grim	Organiser? What’dya mean by that?
Jamil Jamil	(Sigh… It’ll drag the conversation out, but I’ll explain everything if it means they’ll give up on joining us.) The nobility in the Scalding Sands take turns organising this festival, so… This year, the Asim family will be organising it. Running the fireworks festival is both an enormous task with no room for mistakes, and an honour for those who do.
Kalim Kalim	I was told to go around greeting the guests, y’know?
Jamil Jamil	And I’m required to escort Kalim, so we have to return to our hometown. …Which means we don’t have any time to look after the two of you. Sorry, but you have to give up on joining us.
Grim Grim	Fnaaaaggghh!! I wanna go! I wanna go!! I wanna go!!!
Jamil Jamil	(Ugh! And I’d spent so much time explaining myself!) (This means no matter how thoroughly I explain my stance, it’s all for naught with Grim…)
Kalim Kalim	Please, Jamil! I want them to know how splendid the Scalding Sands is!
Grim Grim	Pleeeease, Jamil~ If you don’t let us come along with you, then we’ll wreck havoc in Scarabia while you two are away.
Jamil Jamil	…There’s no choice, then. Fine.
Grim Grim	Yaaaay!!
Thank you!!		I look forward to it!
Kalim Kalim	Oh, right! Let’s invite our other friends, too! Partying in a large group gets the mood up better anyway!
Jamil Jamil	Hang on! The VIP seats are limited, so that’s impossible!
Kalim Kalim	Is that so? But I remember we still had some seats leftover~. Exactly how many did we have, Jamil?
Jamil Jamil	Grr…! …If I recall correctly, we should have six seats remaining.
Grim Grim	Then, Yuu and I can come along, right!?
Kalim Kalim	Of course! And then… we can invite four others to join us, right? Alright, I’m gonna let Cater and Lilia from the Light Music Club know!
Jamil Jamil	Sigh… Who’d have thought we’d end up with four unannounced guests…
Kalim Kalim	Jamil, you’re not gonna invite anyone?
Jamil Jamil	Yeah, I’m not. Even if I do, I’ll not become their caretaker.
Kalim Kalim	Hmm…
Jamil Jamil	(I really don’t want any more people to be coming along, thank you very much…)
Kalim Kalim	Then, I’m gonna ask Cater and Lilia to invite one more person each!
Jamil Jamil	What did you just say!?
Kalim Kalim	Alllright! I’m gonna go look for them now! Yuu, Grim, follow me!
Jamil Jamil	W-Wait, Kalim! …Tch, off he goes… So we ended up having six extra people coming along? Grrr… What a sticky situation it became…!

Episode 1-3 - Sign Of A Good Start To Our Journey
Classroom
Kalim Kalim	…And that’s why, I wanna invite both Cater and Lilia to the Scalding Sands!
Grim Grim	Sounds like it’s gonna be an amaaazing festival!
Cater Cater	Yayyy! Of course I wanna go, Kalim! Never-before-seen foods in the charming streets… A palace rising from the depths of the desert… No matter where you look, everywhere’s just super Magicammable! I’ve been curious about the Scalding Sands since a while back too~ I gave up trying since I don’t have money to go overseas, but I never thought I’d have a chance to go like this! Plus, it’s the one day of the year with fireworks lighting up the festival night sky! I can score a viral photo for suresies ♪ And to think I can view it from the best possible place! Truly blessed are those who are close to the Asims ☆
Kalim Kalim	Glad to make you happy! What about you, Lilia?
Lilia Lilia	The Scalding Sands, huh. I visited it a long time ago. ‘Twas an interesting country. I believe it should’ve changed a lot from back then. I’m interested to see how it has developed.
Cater Cater	“A long time ago”, so when’d you last visit the Scalding Sands, Lilia?
Lilia Lilia	Kekeke… Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that. I get charm points for having at least a secret of my own, right? Okay. Since Kalim was so kind as to invite me, I’ll go on this trip for some brief entertainment.
Kalim Kalim	So Lilia’s joining too! Yay! I never thought we’d be able to travel together as Light Music Club members. I’m super hyped! Oh, right! We actually have two seats left. So you can each invite one of your friends to come along!
Cater Cater	For real!? I wonder who I shall ask~?
Lilia Lilia	Hrm… I’ve decided already. I’ve got a perfect candidate in mind. This’ll be a good chance for him to study how foreign nations work.
Grim Grim	Study foreign nations? What d’you mean by that?
Lilia Lilia	Kekeke… That’s a surprise for tomorrow.
Exterior Hallway
The next day
Kalim Kalim	It’s finally the Yasmina River Fireworks Festival day! Hurry, Jamil, let’s go to the Mirror Chamber!
Jamil Jamil	Don’t rush, there’s still a lot of time before our agreed meeting time with Yuu and the rest. When we get back, you’ll have an important responsibility to fulfill, so you need to cut down on your merrymaking…
Kalim Kalim	I know, I know. Once I put my mind to something, I make sure to complete it without a hitch. Oh yeah, Grim and Yuu probably won’t oversleep, right? I’m worried for them since our meeting time is earlier than our usual classes.
Jamil Jamil	There’ll be no issue. I told Yuu to ensure Grim wouldn’t be late at all costs. And just to be sure, I also passed five alarm clocks to them.
Cuts to Grim along the corridor
Jamil Jamil	Look, Yuu and Grim are on the other end of the hall, heading our way. I’m glad we could meet on our way to the Mirror Chamber. It’s a sign of a good start to our journey.
Good Morning.		We managed to be punctual.
Grim Grim	We came just on time! I was so excited for the festival that I woke up before the alarm clocks rang! But then, they kept ringing non-stop one after another… It was so noisy I couldn’t stand it, Jamil!
Jamil Jamil	Really? Seems like the task I entrusted Yuu with was excessive, if not harmful.
Grim Grim	Apologise to me this instant!!
Kalim Kalim	I understand that feeling of waking up too early, Grim! I was so hyped last night that I couldn’t get a good night’s sleep too! Jamil was also staying up pretty late last night. Was it because you were too excited to sleep?
Jamil Jamil	Of course not. I was making preparations for today. I checked our luggage, readjusted our schedule, contacted the persons-in-charge… All while you were asleep.
Kalim Kalim	Whaaat~ If you’d told me I could’ve helped out too!
Jamil Jamil	……Sigh. Forget it. That’s my responsibility anyway.
Kalim Kalim	You’re truly reliable, Jamil!

Episode 1-4 - 100% Battery!
Exterior Hallway
(Cater appears)
Grim Grim	Ah, there’s Cater! Heeey!
Kalim Kalim	You’re right! Mornin’, Cater!
Jamil Jamil	We also managed to meet Cater on our way to the Mirror Chamber? Good, good. Everything’s going smoothly. Good morning, Cater. I’ll be in your care for today.
Cater Cater	G’mornin’ and thanks all! The day’s perfect for a vacay, isn’t it~
Grim Grim	Even if we got fair weather here, we won’t know the conditions at our destination, right?
Cater Cater	It’ll be A-Okay! I checked the weather app, and it said that the Scalding Sands’ also got fair weather ♪ I’ll make sure to snap pics of each and everything I see in the Scalding Sands. 100% battery! And it goes without saying that my powerbank’s here and fully charged for today!
Jamil Jamil	Who did you invite for this trip, Cater?
Cater Cater	Ah, are you curious? Okaaay, I’m gonna introduce him to y'all then ☆ The travel partner chosen by yours truly is… This guy!!
Trey Trey	…Please stop with that over the top introduction.
Kalim Kalim	Ohh! So Cater invited Trey to come along.
Grim Grim	They’re somehow like an inseparable duo.
Trey Trey	Morning, Kalim and Jamil. Thanks for inviting me to join you on this trip.
Cater Cater	When you said that we’d be going to the Scalding Sands, I thought Trey’d be the perfect fit and asked him.
Trey Trey	I’ve heard that there are unusual sweets in the Scalding Sands, so I wanted to see them personally. They’ll probably be good inspiration for our future Unbirthday party desserts.
Jamil Jamil	There will definitely be ingredients that’ll delight you, Trey. That’s because our hometown in the Scalding Sands has many stalls that sell local delicacies and candies.
Trey Trey	Then I’ll look forward to it. I’ll also be grateful if there’s any dish you’d personally recommend, Jamil. You’re a good chef, after all. I’d like to try out dishes that were put forth by you.
Jamil Jamil	I understand. I will make sure to introduce my favourite stores as well.
Trey Trey	Also, Lilia’s coming along too, right? Does anyone know who he invited to join us?
Kalim Kalim	He said it’d be a surprise for today, though! He also mentioned something about studying foreign societies.
Jamil Jamil	If it’s someone who’s close to Lilia, then I believe he would have picked someone from Diasomnia…
Trey Trey	Then, he’d probably asked Silver to come along, right?
Cater Cater	For sure~ Lilia’s always doting on him, after all! I can understand why he’d make him study foreign societies, too. There’s times when he acts like Silver’s mentor, remember?
Trey Trey	Although, I feel like he’s always imparting strange info on him…
Kalim Kalim	I do see the two of them hanging out together quite often, too!
Jamil Jamil	Ah, it’s almost time for everyone to meet. Let’s head to the Mirror Chamber.

Episode 1-5 - I'll Give You The Best Experience Ever!
Mirror Chamber
Jamil Jamil	Good morning, Headmaster.
Crowley Crowley	Yes, good morning.
Jamil Jamil	Thank you very much for allowing us to use the Mirror Chamber today.
Kalim Kalim	For real! It’s a lifesaver!
Crowley Crowley	It’s a major event for Mr. Asim, after all? I would provide such help for students in need- For I am gracious. Do send my sincerest regards to your father, alright? I will also look forward to any souvenirs you bring back.
Trey Trey	As expected of the headmaster. Nothing slips past those opportunistic eyes.
Crowley Crowley	Move along, everyone, and refrain from idling for too long. It’d be poor manners to leave “him” waiting.
Jamil Jamil	Him? Ahh, you must be referring to Lilia. He must’ve arrived earlier.
Crowley Crowley	Oh? He’d arrived much earlier and was waiting for you all ever since, but… I wasn’t referring to Mr. Vanrouge.
Kalim Kalim	Eh? It’s not Lilia? So it’s Silver, I guess?
Footsteps
Malleus Malleus	Good Morning.
Jamil Jamil	MALLEUS!?
Malleus Malleus	You will be departing for the Scalding Sands soon, right? I’ll be joining you.
Cater / Jamil / Grim / Trey	EHH!?
Jamil Jamil	The person Lilia invited wasn’t Silver, but Malleus!?
Cater Cater	Lilia really went that way, huh. Was totally unexpected.
Malleus Malleus	As the crown prince, I have next to no opportunities to leave Briar Valley. I want to broaden my experiences. However… If I were back home, the senate would fuss over all sorts of matters. Thus, Lilia invited me on this journey. “You can enjoy a leisurely trip while you’re still a student now, can’t you”… Was what he said.
Cater Cater	How kind of Lilia ♪
Kalim Kalim	Huh? But Lilia isn’t here, though?
Malleus Malleus	Correct. He fell ill with a sudden stomach ache this morning. Therefore, I alone will be joining you.
Cater / Jamil / Grim / Trey	EEEEHHHHHHH!!!???
Malleus Malleus	According to Lilia, it seems that he was “unlucky” with his food yesterday. Lilia said while he was rolled up in bed that it would be a good opportunity for me, and to have fun even if I’m on my own. This will be my first time having no escorts while travelling, but I will thoroughly enjoy the Scalding Sands for Lilia’s sake as well.
Jamil Jamil	Your first time travelling without escorts…!?
Kalim Kalim	I see… So that’s what happened. It’s really unfortunate that Lilia couldn’t join us, but… I’ll give you the best experience ever, Malleus! Enjoy the Scalding Sands to your heart’s content and in Lilia’s stead too!
Jamil Jamil	Wait a minute!!! Kalim… Malleus is part of the royalty in Briar Valley, you know.
Kalim Kalim	Mm? Yeah, and what of it?
Jamil Jamil	What of it… Without Lilia to watch over Malleus, what do you plan to do if something were to happen to him!? It might cause diplomatic issues! It’s beyond what we can do!
Malleus Malleus	I’m not so fragile that you need to fret over me.
Jamil Jamil	Th-That might be the case, but…
Malleus Malleus	What’s wrong, Viper? That expression of yours… Perhaps, my presence here is a bother to you?
Jamil Jamil	No! N-no, no way, absolutely not! Why would I think that when you took such pains to join us…
Malleus Malleus	I thought I was being invited… Perhaps I was mistaken? Am I imposing myself on everyone here?
Jamil Jamil	Th-That’s not the case at all…!
Trey Trey	Hey, is it just me or do you guys hear lightning in the distance?
Cater Cater	I can hear it too~ … To think the weather was fine up till now.
Grim Grim	Tsunotaro’s expression’s getting scarier and scarier…!
Jamil Jamil	(Ughh… Malleus’ mood is getting progressively worse…)
Crowley Crowley	Mr. Draconia was the one who told me this, but it seems that he’d been standing here waiting since three hours ago.
Cater Cater	Whoa! So Malleus was super duper excited for this!
Kalim Kalim	Hey, Jamil. Why are you overthinking this? We’re just bringing our friends along to our birthplace, after all. Isn’t that normal?
Malleus Malleus	Exactly. Is there really a problem if I were to visit a dear schoolmate’s hometown?
Jamil Jamil	N-no, there’s no problem, but…
Trey Trey	Forget the outrageous logic being used, Jamil is being backed up in a corner… What a rare sight to behold.
Cater Cater	Malleus and Kalim are so carefree while being oblivious to the hard work of those around them, huh~
Jamil Jamil	…I-It can’t be helped, then. I suppose we have to let Malleus join us on his own.
Cater Cater	This is gonna be fun… not. Things sure aren’t looking great ♪
Trey Trey	You… You’re just thinking there’d be good photos to take or something, right? And here I am, having a bad feeling about this trip.
Crowley Crowley	Now, bon voyage, everyone! Oh right, if any trouble crops up during your trip, I will have no part in it, understood!?
Jamil Jamil	Seems like this year’s Yasmina River Fireworks Festival will be full of ups and downs…
Grim Grim	Then, it’s time for us to go to the Scalding Sands!

Episode 2-1 - The City We Were Born In
Scalding Sands - Silk City
Kalim Kalim	Aw yeah! The sun feels great!! It really feels just like home!
Jamil Jamil	That’s because we haven’t had a chance to come back in a while.
Choice 1: So this is the Scalding Sands!		Choice 2: Amazing! There’s a city in the middle of a desert!
Kalim Kalim Kalim Kalim	This is where Jamil and I were born. Chock full of life, isn’t it?It’s probably a rare sight for you, Yuu, since you aren’t from this world.
Cater Cater	It’s really so much warmer compared to the weather back at school~ I could feel the sweat forming on my skin.
Jamil Jamil	In addition to the high air temperature, the sunlight is also intense. Please monitor yourselves.
Cater Cater	Truly. Thanks to the light reflected by the heated stone pavements, it feels like you’re gonna burn up. Gotta make sure to apply lots of sunscreen thoroughly.
Trey Trey	I’d wanted to wear a hat here, but this throws a wrench in that plan…
Jamil Jamil	The Scalding Sands has a tropical climate and a vast desert on top of that. The country is a peninsula, with the majority of its area facing the ocean. You can find row after row of high-class housing, resorts and hotels built by the coast. This city is in the central region of the Scalding Sands, and it is undeniably popular with both locals and foreigners as a tourist destination.
Malleus Malleus	That seems to be true. I see many who are holding maps around us.
Cater Cater	That must be the tourist guidebook. Everyone looks so refreshed in their short sleeved shirts and berms~
Trey Trey	Yeah. We’re the only ones who are wearing thick and stuffy uniforms.
Cater Cater	Hey, hey, what’s this city called?
Jamil Jamil	We are currently in “Silk City”.
Kalim Kalim	This is the city we were born in.
Cater Cater	Ohh, so this is Silk City. It’s featured in the guidebook too. It really lives up to its rep of having buildings made of white stone. It’s so pretty, it’s time for a snap ♪
Snap!
Jamil Jamil	From what I heard, it was difficult to acquire suitable timber for architecture in the past. That’s why our buildings are made of the stone that could be mined by our ancestors. While various materials can be used now, stone buildings have a cooling effect indoors. Thus, they continue to be built to this day.
Trey Trey	That’s true. When you mention Scalding Sands, most would think of these sort of stone buildings.
Cater Cater	It really looks just like a set for a movie. It’s so stylish~ ♪
Kalim Kalim	Apart from the architecture, we also take great pride in our fine food and highly recommend it! The coastal areas deliver fresh marine products daily through the canals. Silk City’s seafood is incredibly famous among gourmands too. We have lots of highly-rated* restaurants here!
Grim Grim	Oooiiii! There’s a river flowing here. It’s so cool, it feels great~
Malleus Malleus	This is the canal which you spoke of earlier, I believe.
Grim Grim	Ah! I see something splashing over there! Are there fishes?
Trey Trey	Oi, don’t stay too close to the canal, Grim. It’s dangerous.
Grim Grim	Myahaha! You underestimate me, Trey! There’s no way I’d be that foolish!
Splash!!
Grim Grim	UNAGGHHHH!!
Cater Cater	Ahhh! Gri-gri fell into the river!
Trey Trey	Right after I told him to stay away too!
Grim Grim	Fnagh!? A-A ship’s heading here! A-AM I GONNA GET RUN OVER!?
Look out!		What do we do!?
Sailor	…It’s dangerous here, so you gotta pay attention to your pet so that it doesn’t leap into the canal!
Jamil Jamil	W-We’re truly sorry…
Grim Grim	I’m not anyone’s pet, okay!
Malleus Malleus	Oh ho? You still have some cheek left in you to quip back even though you were flailing with such vigour earlier?
Jamil Jamil	Canals work the same as any other road for cars and magical wheels. They’re necessary for trade in Silk City, so the coming and going of ships in these is endless. Obviously, swimming is outlawed too since it would be dangerous there.
Trey Trey	Good thing you were rescued by the ship’s helmsman, right, Grim?
Grim Grim	It’s not good at all! After I fell in with a splash, I was swept away in an instant. I was so afraid! My feet couldn’t reach the bottom, and the ship was rapidly approaching! I thought I was done for!!
Trey Trey	Well, this is a lesson on remaining alert while you’re travelling. Learn from this experience and stay cautious from here on, Grim.
Jamil Jamil	Okay, stay still. I’ll be drying you off. It’d be a disaster if you caught a cold now.
Grim Grim	Grrrr…!

Episode 2-2 - That’s Long Outdated Info
Scalding Sands - Silk City
Cater Cater	The roofed boat that just passed looks pretty dapper, doesn't it? I better take a pic!
Snap!
Malleus Malleus	What a strange boat it is to have a triangular roof. It doesn’t appear to be intended for fishing either.
Jamil Jamil	What you’ve just seen is a traditional ferry of the Scalding Sands. Locals board boats like that to travel along the canals. Although it is a mode of transportation for residents, it can also serve as a sightseeing boat for tourists. Furthermore, the water vapour produced by these channels prevents the area from being too arid. Afternoons in a desert without canals are burning hot, while at night, it can plunge to temperatures as chilling as 0°C.
Cater Cater	Man, deserts are truly merciless…
Trey Trey	I’d thought it was really hot here, but I guess Silk City’s much more hospitable than a plain desert.
Cater Cater	Thanks to the canals around here for sure~
Malleus Malleus	……
Cater Cater	Is something wrong, Malleus?
Malleus Malleus	Nothing… I was just surprised since this is completely different from the information I know of the Scalding Sands. What I’d learnt in Briar Valley was that the Scalding Sands’ residents struggle to even acquire water for their daily needs. And that is due to its sparse rainfall and deserts which occupy most of its territory…
Kalim Kalim	Hey now, that’s stuff from the distant past.
Jamil Jamil	While such an era certainly exists, the Scalding Sands developed in leaps and bounds over the years since.
Malleus Malleus	Was there a spark that led to such a change?
Jamil Jamil	The Scalding Sands’ spices and furniture were traded for good prices since they were very popular overseas.
Trey Trey	Spices from the Scalding Sands like saffron, cumin, and pepper, are certainly well-regarded. I use them often in cooking too. I’m quite fond of them for seasoning since they’d let me get the exact flavour I seek.
Cater Cater	The colourful rural crafts are also famous, yeah? I’d seen them in an art museum before.
Kalim Kalim	My ancestors were the ones who focused on trading those stuff!
Jamil Jamil	The Asim family is said to be the first in the Scalding Sands to use ships to participate in maritime trade. Among other things, accurate nautical maps hadn’t even been made then. Such a journey must’ve been rife with danger.
Kalim Kalim	But that was a great success in the end! It’s soooo amazing!
Jamil Jamil	The Asims also engineered the rivers flowing throughout the country to make canals which form sea routes.
Trey Trey	Ah, like the one Grim fell into just now?
Grim Grim	You didn’t have to mention that I fell into it!!
Jamil Jamil	The canals were then used as the basis for establishing land routes, expanding the inland trading network at the same time. As a result, the Asims amassed a great fortune and became a noble family that is representative of the Scalding Sands.
Malleus Malleus	So what this means is that Asim’s ancestors had foresight.
Jamil Jamil	Merchants like the Asims put in lots of work for Silk City, which is a cornerstone for trade, to develop to its current state. They actively introduced advanced technology to construct an environment with abundant potable water for the people. By making water readily available in the inhospitable desert, the population increased… Trade flourished, the people’s wealth grew, and so did the town’s affluence. The tourism industry also prospered soon after.
Cater Cater	Which means this is now a fine resort area that attracts tourists from all over the world~
Jamil Jamil	Still, the fact remains that much of the country’s territory consists of a desert that’s inhospitable for humans. After all, water is a necessity for life. With both the wealthy and the masses gathering where the canals flow, the town transformed into quite the large city. It was named “Silk City” after the local specialty silk commodities which were key trading products.
Kalim Kalim	It’s top-class among the large cities even within the Scalding Sands!
Jamil Jamil	Indeed. Although it isn’t the capital city, it is both the political and economic center for the country.
Malleus Malleus	I see, so that’s how it transformed. According to my grandmother, rumours about the Scalding Sands ceased ever since peace had settled in the country. The activity of humans advances much faster than I can imagine at times. It is truly curious.

Episode 3-4 - Ravenous Monster
Scalding Sands - Silk City
Stallholder	Thanks for waiting! Here are your six shawarmas!
Jamil Jamil	Thank you very much. Everyone, please take your respective shawarma.
Trey Trey	Thanks, Jamil. I’ll help you pass them out.
Cater Cater	Ooh, the contrasting flavours of the veggies and sauces taste so good ♪
Malleus Malleus	Walking while eating fast food… Quite the rare experience indeed.
Grim Grim	It looks so yummy! Feels like a dream to have everything added to it!
Choice 1: Thank you.		Choice 2: It smells really good!
Grim Grim	Thanks for the foooood! Chomp, chomp! Gobblegobble chomp!
Jamil Jamil	…Huh? This is strange. My shawarma is missing.
Malleus Malleus	Was it because the stallholder didn’t receive your order, Viper?
Jamil Jamil	No, I’m certain I purchased and received six of them.
Cater Cater	That must mean… A certain ravenous monster gobbled it up or something!
Trey Trey	True, that’s highly likely.
Grim Grim	Wh-Why’s everyone looking at me for…?! There’s obviously no way I’d do that! It’d be way easier for me to just attack the stalls and steal from them instead of Jamil! Plus, I can eat more that way!
Jamil Jamil	You better not.
Cater Cater	C’mon, I was just kidding. Sorry, Gri-gri. Um, then who here is holding a shawarma?
Trey Trey	Me, Cater, Malleus, Grim, Yuu, and…
??? ???	Omnomnom… Yeah, well that was passable at least. Guess I’ll pick these toppings the next time onwards~
Trey/Cater/Grim/Malleus	……
Grim Grim	A-An unknown person is eating it?! That’s the culprit!
Trey Trey	Where did you come from, little miss? I’m guessing you’re alone here, yeah? It’s not good to just take and eat a stranger’s food, you know?
??? ???	Hehehe~ If eating “a stranger’s food” is the problem, then I guess I’m not in the wrong, after all~?
Trey Trey	Huh?
Cater Cater	Oh? What’s wrong, Jamil? You look like a fish that’s gasping for air.
Jamil Jamil	Na, Na… NAJMA?!
Trey/Cater/Grim/Malleus	……?
Najma Najma	Welcome back, Jamil!
Cater Cater	…Umm, Jamil? You seem to know this girl, so like, who and where is she from?
Najma Najma	It’s a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Najma Viper.
Malleus Malleus	Viper?
Trey Trey	Don’t tell me…
Najma Najma	We don’t look alike at all in my humble opinion, but basically, I’m this guy’s younger sister.
Trey/Cater/Grim/Malleus	HUHH??!!?!
Jamil Jamil	Why are you referring to your older brother as “this guy” for?! No, wait… First of all, why are you here?
Najma Najma	I’m not here because I wanted to either, okay.
Cater Cater	Whoa! That look’s a splitting image of Jamil! Ahaha! Look, two identical faces side by side. How adorable~!
Trey Trey	Yeah, they’re definitely siblings…
Najma Najma	Dad asked to pass you a message, and I had to spend loads of time searching for you, okay. He said that the festival VIP seats for everyone here have swapped locations. I’d already told him so many times that I’d drop you a message so it’ll be fine, and yet…
Jamil Jamil	Yeah, I received it on my cell phone and read it already. My reply should've been sent, too.
Najma Najma	But he still went “Is it really okay? I still can’t help but worry if you don’t tell him directly!” and didn’t listen after all! I didn’t want to, but I’m here because I had no other choice.
Jamil Jamil	…Unfortunately, Dad isn’t very familiar with tech like computers and smartphones.
Najma Najma	And even not a single word of thanks for your kind little sister who came all this way for you! I don’t think god will strike you down just for saying “thanks”, you know?
Jamil Jamil	Is that so… Well that was my bad. That’s all. Okay. The end. Your task is done now, right? Then hurry home. I’m busy now.
Cater Cater	Ah, right! Wanna join us for some sightseeing, lil’ miss Najma?
Jamil Jamil	HUHH??!!?!
Cater Cater	Since Jamil’s gonna head home late from attending to us… Why don’t you tag along with us while we shop and catch up with your dearest big bro at the same time?
Trey Trey	That’s fair. It must’ve been a while since you last saw Jamil, after all.
Jamil Jamil	Th-That won’t do!!
Najma Najma	I’m okay with that. It sounds kinda fun anyway!
Jamil Jamil	I can’t afford even the time to look after you, okay!
Najma Najma	Hah? Mind you, I didn’t even say anything about wanting to be looked after by you, Jamil.
Jamil Jamil	At any rate, you can’t stay here!
Najma Najma	You’re heartless!! Even though I came all this way just to deliver a message! I’ll have you know that thanks to this, I had to kiss my outing with my friends at the festival goodbye! Sigh… It’s still midday, but it looks like I’ll have to wander around all by myself, wallowing in loneliness, until the festival starts at night… Ahhh!! How boring it is!! Even though it’s the one day of the year when the festival is held-!
Jamil Jamil	Urk! Grrr……
Malleus Malleus	Why is Viper so reluctant? They are siblings connected by blood, correct?
Trey Trey	He probably feels awkward about the idea of showing us what he’s like at home. I also have younger siblings, so I understand those feelings very well.
Malleus Malleus	Is that how it is…? The subject of siblings seems fairly complex.
Cater Cater	There’s also the opposite case~ For me, I wouldn’t want my big sisters to see me hanging out with my friends ‘cus it’d be embarrassing.
Trey Trey	And you extended that offer despite knowing how it feels? How evil of you. Although, an anxious Jamil is a rare sight to behold… so this is quite valuable.
Jamil Jamil	Aren’t you all just eagerly waiting for a chance to tease me!? Go home now, Najma!
Najma Najma	How cruel. I can’t believe you, being this coldhearted to your little sister. What does everyone else think?
Trey Trey	Isn’t it fine to let her tag along, Jamil?
Cater Cater	That’d mean we’ll have one more lovely guide with us who knows the ins and outs of the Scalding Sands!
Malleus Malleus	That is right. In addition, you should hold your family close to your heart.
Jamil Jamil	Guh… I-I understand. If everyone insists so…
Najma Najma	That’s the spirit! Now then… Hello again to everyone from Night Raven College. Oh? What an unusual accessory you have on your head, sir.
Jamil Jamil	Gah!!!
Malleus Malleus	Accessory? Ahh, these horns are real, actually.
Cater Cater	I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but… It seems like no one here’s aware of the fact that Malleus is the famous Malleus Draconia, right?
Trey Trey	Yeah. It’s probably also because the bandanna’s wrapped round his head… Plus, no one would ever believe that Malleus, one of the most excellent mages in the world, would be casually sightseeing somewhere.
Jamil Jamil	Najma! That was such a rude thing to say to my senior!
Najma Najma	I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come off rudely.
Malleus Malleus	I wasn’t bothered to the extent that there is a need to apologise like that…
Cater Cater	Ahahaha! Everyone back at Night Raven College’s gonna burst out laughing if we were to tell them about this when we return~
Trey Trey	No way, I think they’d turn pale and tremble in fear instead…
Cater Cater	Allllright! Now, let’s have yaboi Cay-Cay introduce everyone here for the lovely Najma’s sake!
