Sebek  |
Humans! What are you dillying and dallying for? Hurry up! | |
Trey  |
Don't rush like that, Deuce is pretty exhausted from the ghostly possession and battling. | |
Rook  |
Oui. Even feeling slightly under the weather here could end up being fatal for us who tread into unknown waters. Shouldn't we take a moment to have a break instead? | |
Deuce  |
Seniors… I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience I caused. | |
Sebek |
A break?! As if there's time to relax? Do you all understand the grave situation we are in?! | |
Deuce |
Huh?! | |
Sebek |
We are in a race against time now. We don't have the luxury to wait for a human to recuperate!
Rise this instant! I'll leave you behind if you're going to be a dead weight!! | |
Deuce |
Wha… Don't you think you're blowing things out of proportion?! | |
Trey |
Come on. Calm down now, you two. It won't do us any good even if you started fighting in a place like this. | |
Rook |
Rest is all the more important precisely when you wish to rush forth, Monsieur Crocodile. | |
Sebek |
……Grr! You weaklings! In that case you can all stay there and rest for as long as you wish!!
I will carry on even if it's by myself!! | |
Deuce |
Oi, Sebek! Hang on!
What's gotten you so short tempered? You've been acting strangely for a while now. | |
Sebek |
I AM NOT BEING SHORT TEMPERED WHATSOEVER!!! | |
Trey |
Shouting that loudly… There's definitely something a little off with him. | |
Deuce |
Actually, it is normal for him to speak that loudly, but… He's usually a little more composed than this.
Even in classes, I've never seen him get scolded by the professors for behaving in a rash manner either… C'mon, Sebek. You can't possibly be unaware that rushing headfirst alone in this situation isn't good, right? Just calm down for a moment first. | |
Sebek |
Do you really think I can calm down now?!
……Young Master is……! …Young Master and Master Lilia have both disappeared! | |
Deuce |
! | |
Sebek |
They both rank among the most outstanding mages in the world!! And yet…!
We don't even know if they are safe. They aren't just senior dormmates to me. I hold them closer to my heart than anyone else. I am even prepared to throw my life on the line should the time call for it. I trained daily for that purpose as well. And yet, I… couldn't even notice that they went missing. How negligent I was. How deplorable…! | |
Deuce |
Sebek… | |
Sebek |
On top of that, I lost sight of Silver who was also embarking on this rescue mission initially, and now his whereabouts are unknown.
We're talking about Silver who has an unnecessarily tough physique. I believe he is safe… but should push come to shove, I will need to rescue him too! | |
Deuce |
Is that so? You certainly show concern for Sir Silver as well, now that I think about it. | |
Sebek |
Wha-?! It's not like I'm worried about Silver or anything! | |
Deuce |
I also know you're feeling helpless from having no reliable seniors around to turn to. | |
Sebek |
And I'm saying!! You've gotten it wrong!! I'm not feeling helpless whatsoever!! | |
Deuce |
O-Okay, okay, I got it! Don't shout so loudly into my ears, at least. | |
Sebek |
…Hmph! Unlike you happy-go-lucky bunch, I have an important duty to fulfill as an envoy!
Young Master and Master Lilia must both be awaiting my rescue eagerly. Therefore, I will be moving on! | |
Trey |
Sebek… You have the stamina and probably received the training necessary to be able to fight on your own. However…
There's a possibility that you might encounter a powerful enemy whom you can't stand up to by yourself past this point, you know? | |
Sebek |
That's… | |
Trey |
No matter the situation, nothing beats having lots of soldiers to defend one's king. Right, Deuce? | |
Deuce |
…! Yes! If you wanna raid a stronghold, more is indeed merrier!
Sebek, this was what Yuu taught me when I used to be prone to rushing into things by myself… "You at least stand a chance against a formidable opponent that you can't beat on your own if you join hands with others"! | |
Sebek |
……! | |
Rook |
In travelling, a companion, in life, compassion… It is also thanks to the hand of fate that we were brought together to move as one.
Think of us as your seniors from Diasomnia for today, and depend on us as much as you like, Sebek! | |
Trey |
I mean, we're probably much more unreliable than Malleus to say the least…but we'll support you to the best of our abilities. | |
Deuce |
I'll also make up for my failure and earlier unsightliness moving forward. Don't feel bitter when I rob you of your opportunities to contribute later, Sebek! | |
Sebek |
You guys……
…Hmph. Even without your concern, I'd have no problem on my own. I certainly wouldn't, but… If you so insist, then I shall allow you to accompany me! After all, you lot must be feeling helpless being on your own! | |
Deuce |
…Hah? | |
Sebek |
As the Young Master's envoy, taking two to three humans under my wing is certainly a piece of cake!!
I'll bring everyone back to school safely and the Young Master and Master Lilia will bear witness to it. Silver and you lot shall too, at the same time. Now, with that decided, rest. Recover your energies fully and prepare for battle! While you may not have sustained any injuries, make sure to check carefully once again. Once your preparations are perfectly complete, we shall depart. Understood?! Humans!! | |
Deuce |
Th-this guy…! | |
Trey |
Haha! I get it now, so that means this is the "normal" Sebek. | |
Deuce |
Seriously. To think he'd speak so rudely to his seniors the minute he snapped back to normal! | |
Rook |
T'en fais pas, Monsieur Spade! He has become energised, and that's all that matters! | |
Sebek |
Please wait for me, Young Master and Master Lilia!! I, Sebek!! Will go to your rescue!! | |
