Episode 6: Dad is Moved to Tears

Yep.

The battle scenes in this game go extra hard despite being an Otome dating sim.

Question. Why are they fighting, again?

It's a mock battle.

Remember?

Grace was chosen to participate in the Magic Exhibition, but then...

Come to think of it, I've never seen what the Magic Exhibition is actually like!

After she realized that,

she asked the older members of the student council

to put on a demonstration to get an idea.

I see.

So, this is like a rehearsal for the exhibition.

I really have to hand it to Dad, though.

Despite being 52,

he had no trouble swallowing his pride

to ask kids who are even younger than me to coach him.

Ignoring the fact he's currently in the body of a 15-year-old.

Well, your dad's been a boy at heart for as long as I've known him.

And he always use to say:

"Age doesn't matter. Anyone with skill is worth learning from."

This artist is still in high school?!

Talented youngsters pop up all the time, especially in the otaku industry.

True that!

Actually, I wonder if Dad's personality is part of the reason

that his mind was guided into the world of the game?

I'm grateful for your help, gentlemen.

That was amazing, Lord Auguste! Lord Richard!

Thanks!

Well, there you have it.

Since one of your beasts has the fire attribute and the other has water, Counters Supports

the clash of those opposing elements means that your battles are always super intense!

Isn't that right?

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Although, please don't tell anyone else.

Because it's secwet... infiremation.

Putting that aside,

it's obvious from your skills that Lord Auguste specializes in defense

and Lord Richard in offense.

You two are polar opposites, even when it comes to magic.

That's the idea.

We're both destined to be commanders in the Royal Knighthood, after all.

One of us will be the shield that protects the Kingdom,

while the other will be the sword that strikes at its enemies.

And we've trained extensively to fill those roles from childhood.

Gosh. You're such great role models.

Wow.

I must say, these two are really charming.

Maybe I should keep their routes available for Anna to follow?

Um, if I may, there's one thing I'm curious about.

All of your fighting damaged part of the cliff over there.

Is it just me, or are there big bones from some kind of creature stuck inside it?

Oh my. You're right.

There appear to be dinosaur fossils

embedded all over the cliffs around this area.

"Dinosaur fossils"?

What does that mean?

Those are known as "Lost Bones".

Legend has it they're the result

of someone's failed attempt at creating monsters.

There are a ton of them buried in these parts.

It's nothing special.

Makes sense.

I've heard people in the old days explained dinosaur fossils

as the ill-fated experiments of God.

I guess the scientists of this world must have settled on a similar conclusion.

One of Many Theories

Okay. It's showtime.

You're up, Anna.

Try hitting that cliff over there with some of your magic!

Huh? M-me?!

A-all right.

Sirius! Come to me!

Sirius Species: Pegasus Attribute: Wind

O' whirling winds!

Bore through those rocks!

Whoa! That hit hard!

Now that's some powerful magic.

No surprise coming from the main character.

Hmm.

I'm stunned that a new student could showcase such skill.

Yeah.

You two make it sound like a problem. What's wrong?

Well, that mock battle we put on earlier

was basically exactly the same as the one we did at last year's Magic Exhibition.

Right.

That's precisely what I asked you to show me.

But on the other hand,

it goes to show that we've hardly made any improvements since then.

The clash between water and fire does make for a flashy show,

but the reality is

that we've barely managed to tap into the true potential of our beasts.

Ah, I see.

So, you aren't making the most of your beasts yet?

That's a good point.

Using fire magic for nothing other than defense

does seem like a huge waste.

And Richard's spell that shoots icicles

doesn't seem to capitalize on his sword skills at all.

Surely there must be a better way to draw out the innate potential

of both beast and sorcerer...

What's the noise?

An earthquake?

Is that one of this game's monsters?!

Look out!

That's a Dragon Skeleton!

Mystery solved.

It seems the truth behind these Lost Bones...

...is that they belong to skeleton monsters and not dead ones!

Oh man!

So, that wasn't just some kind of old wives' tale.

It was part of the game's lore!

That's the fantasy genre for you.

Given the circumstances,

Anna's magic likely caught that monster's attention

and awakened it from its slumber.

This happened once before.

Your magic is so powerful that it actually draws monsters to you.

In that case, we'll hold this thing off.

You two return to the academy and call for assistance.

But what about you?!

Unfortunately, Anna and I haven't undergone any magical combat training yet.

Even if we tried to help, we'd most likely just be getting in their way.

Very well.

Let's get going, Anna.

B-but, Lady Grace!

Good decision, Grace.

Let's do this, Richard!

Right. Be careful, Auguste!

Lord Auguste! Lord Richard!

Are you two all right?!

We can stave off most of the damage from its attacks

as long as our beasts have mana.

But it's just going to get worse and worse unless we land some hits on that thing.

How about that.

Their magic circles are still infused with significant power.

I have an idea.

Maybe if I inscribe them with spells

meant to evoke the best of both Auguste and Richard's abilities...

I'm going to borrow your magic circles, gentlemen!

Huh?

Whoa!

What did you write?!

Two simple words...

SWORD SHIELD

that represent your true natures!

Their beasts are changing...

into a shield...

and a sword!

I didn't even know our beasts could do that!

Same here, but I'm all for it!

Enemy Vanquished!!

Wow, incredible!

Now you've seen the true power of your beasts.

You just needed some help tapping into them.

This is awesome, Grace!

Indeed.

Your magic is most astounding.

Not at all.

It was just a stroke of good luck that I knew the perfect spells to inscribe.

In recognition of the debt that we now owe,

the two of us do hereby pledge...

our unwavering loyalty to Lady Grace,

the future Queen of the Kingdom.

Huh?!

Aw jeez, I don't really need that.

Also, what is up with that sparkling light going "ting-a-ling" all the time?

It's a special effect that goes off

whenever their intimacy meter gets a huge boost.

Shoot. Your dad can't hear us, can he?

Honestly, I wish they'd just aim their affections at Anna instead!

Now Lady Grace is even more the esteemed stateswoman!

What a genius!

"Loyalty"?

That gives me an idea!

As a swordsman of great notoriety,

my loyalty to royalty I pledge in its entirety!

Uh...

Hereby, this rhyme must end undeniably!

The courtyard of Royal Magic Academy

is furnished with a barrier that prevents any spells

from going outside of its walls.

Thus, it is used as a training ground for students to practice magic.

Orion!

BALL

Fireball!

Anna!

On it, Lady Grace!

Come to me, Sirius!

Whirlwind!

Flame Tornado!

Miss Anna's wind magic serves to fan the flames of Miss Grace's fire magic.

They complement each other perfectly, don't they, sir?

Mm-hmm!

I must say,

I'm very excited to see next week's Magic Exhibition!

Nicely done, Anna.

I think that's enough practice for today.

Okay!

Um, so, do you think...

I'm good enough to be of use to you, Lady Grace?

Yes. Without a doubt.

We are on the right track.

Now then, would you mind going on ahead to the student council office?

Sure thing, Lady Grace!

You're doing great, too, Orion.

This little guy named Orion...

He's clearly different from all the other beasts that I've seen so far.

I've noticed him trying to emphasize something more than once.

But what exactly is he trying to tell me?

Royal Magic Academy: Courtyard Kenzaburo's Inner Thoughts

Aw, man!

Isn't there any way to send Dad a message and let him know that we're watching?!

Just the fact that I can see what's happening in the world of LnB,

means that I'm probably supposed to do something to help Dad beat the game.

But the only thing I can control right now

is switching Orion's attribute between fire and water.

What else am I supposed to do?

Royal Magic Academy: Courtyard Menu Save Load Option

Hm? Why'd the music change?

Royal Magic Academy: Courtyard Menu Save Load Option

Whoa! Who are they?

Their character sprites are so tiny!

Violet Lady Grace, may we have a moment of your time?

Is it true what they're saying about you participating

in next week's Magic Exhibition alongside Miss Anna Doll?

Yes. You've heard right.

The Snob Entourage Lady Grace is absolutely right!

It's those snobby NPCs who make up Grace's entourage in the regular version of the game!

Lady Grace is absolutely right!

Jaune We hate to bring such a thorny issue to your attention, but...

It's quite a bad look for the esteemed daughter of the duke

to entrust a lowly commoner like Anna with such a key role.

Rumors are flying all over, which have put your reputation at stake.

Yes. It's most dreadful!

Oh my.

Is that really what people are saying?

Yes. And worse yet...

Some have gone as far as to suggest it won't just cause the duke to lose face,

but will become a blight upon the whole academy!

Royal Magic Academy: Courtyard Marron Yes. It's the talk of the town right now.

Their character art got bigger all of a sudden.

Does the resolution actually improve after Dad

gets more familiar with the characters?!

There's also... one particularly nasty rumor.

Apparently, Miss Anna Doll is a charlatan who speaks ill of you behind your back.

Her relationship with you is nothing more

than a way for her to reap the benefits of nobility.

Or so they say.

She's boasted to all of her plebeian friends

about how she successfully buttered you up.

My! How despicable!

Oh HELL no!

What a bunch of jerks!

The only people spreading totally baseless rumors like that are THEM, obviously!

Don't fall for their bullcrap, Dad!

Anna's not that kind of person!

Settle down, Orion.

Please accept my apologies for the interruption.

Th-that's okay...

Did I just control Orion by randomly pressing a button?

Or was it a coincidence?

I understand your concern, ladies.

If you don't mind, may I please have your names?

I am Violet Corbeau.

My name is Jaune Moineau.

Marron Chouette, at your service.

I am Grace Auvergne.

This may be obvious,

but all of our conduct is closely tied

to the reputation of the noble families we come from.

Therefore...

I would be careful of what you say.

Otherwise, someone may get the impression that you share this anonymous gossip

as a way to scare and mislead others.

Surely we wouldn't want word of that spreading among high society, would we?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have student council duties to attend to.

Farewell.

F-farewell.

Dad totally crushed it. That didn't faze him at all.

And now...

He's even writing down their names on his fan!

Let's see... Violet, Jaune, and...

Yeah, I can't remember them all, either.

Very Practical

I just remembered, Anna shared some interesting news earlier.

She said you got yourself a new magic wand, Grace?

Oh? That does pique my interest.

Yes.

I had a magic wand incorporated into my fan's monture.

I dub it:

The Magic Fand!

It's rather bothersome to walk around with both a wand and fan,

so I had my family's craftsman make this for me.

Wow! That's so cool!

I want one, too!

Hold on.

It would be strange for a guy to walk around with a hand fan like that.

But why? It looks snazzy!

I have an idea.

Use something guys typically carry.

Like maybe combine it with a book or briefcase?

Look, you could totally fit a wand in the spine of a book.

Then when you open it,

maybe a magic circle written inside can pop out or something!

Unlock! Hell's Gate!

Hot damn!

She's right, that WOULD be cool!

CANDID

Pushover.

Miss Grace!

Would you do me the favor

of putting me in touch with the craftsman that your family employs?

Why, of course.

Gosh! You're really something, Grace!

I mean, who can say they earned a spot at the Magic Exhibition

in the first semester of their first year?

Not even Virgile or Auguste were that talented.

They didn't get in until their third semester.

It was merely a stroke of luck.

The beast that was born from my egg

happened to have some especially rare qualities.

That's the only reason why.

Sure, if you say so.

But it wasn't luck that made you choose Anna for a partner, right?

It was because of her talent.

Bert here was green with envy when he found out.

Huh?!

I-it's not talent!

I'm just trying my very best to keep from dragging Lady Grace down.

No.

You clearly have good knowledge and skill in magic.

Not to mention, the attribute of your beast complements hers well.

As much as I hate to say it, from an objective standpoint,

the person most suited to support Miss Grace in the exhibition is you.

Lord Lambert...

However!

If your performance fails to meet expectations on the big day,

then I will take over the support role next time.

Miss Anna.

Oh no!

I mean, of course!

But I'm going to do my very best to not lose my spot!

Ah, how great it is to see such young rivals who respect each other!

I hope these little competitions continue to spur them both to greater heights.

Dad Mode

Isn't that nice?

But you know, Grace...

Anna might have a tough road ahead.

Hm?

This academy is part of the aristocracy.

Naturally, not every student around is as sympathetic and understanding as Bert is.

We're telling you this for your own good, Miss Anna Doll.

You should resign from being Lady Grace's assistant... right now!

It seems Lucas was right on the money.

He either saw this coming or has a good sense for avoiding trouble.

I'll have to exercise caution with those girls.

You see, Lady Grace was kind enough to speak with us in confidence earlier...

and she had much to say about you.

She told us that she was tired of having the stench of peasant girl on her!

And that you're nothing but a huge nuisance who can't understand the pecking order!

Yes! It's all true!

Of course, she's far too kindhearted to ever say it to your face.

But don't you think it would be wise to take the hint

and resign from being her assistant?

Yes! It's for the best!

I come from a family that runs their own bakery.

Huh?

It's a very successful business,

so my parents have many connections with people throughout the town.

One piece of advice they gave me was:

"Be wary of anyone who claims to know that someone else is slandering you."

"Keep your distance from them."

"Because if they are willing to vilify others behind their backs,

they will undoubtedly do the same to you."

Wow, it's just like I thought.

Anna truly was raised by loving parents who want the best for her.

As a fellow parent, I have nothing but the utmost respect for them.

Dad Mode

All right, let's be on our way.

Huh? Wh-where are you going?

To the student council office, of course.

We'll ask Lady Grace what her true opinion of me is.

B-but don't you think that's a really bad idea?

Just imagine what happens if Lady Grace has to publicly admit that you're a nuisance!

You would have to leave the academy and then lose everything!

Is that really what you want?!

Then so be it.

I will leave the academy,

and never show my face to Lady Grace for the rest of my life.

But even then...

I'd still cherish our relationship.

I won't lose an ounce of respect or appreciation for Lady Grace!

Not after all that she's done for me!

What a sweet girl!

Like Father Like Daughter

Lady Grace?!

Oh dear!

P-please don't get the wrong idea!

Oh boy, is this where Dad shows these snobs up?

You remember my words from earlier, yes?

About how all of our conduct is closely tied to the reputation of our noble families?

Because it seems...

That I must...

apologize for this misunderstanding

that was clearly caused by my roundabout manner of speaking.

For that is what happened, is it not?

Huh?!

As the daughter of Duke Auvergne, I offer you my most sincerest apologies.

I am deeply sorry.

O-oh, please! You mustn't!

Raise your head, Lady Grace!

Chastising them now could invite more problems in the future.

So he chose to steer clear of that

by making it seem like everything was his fault.

These are Dad's polished social skills at work!

Although, that's not the reason he's crying...

In my humble opinion,

it makes no difference what social background we come from,

because every student is here to learn.

We are kindred spirits meant to better each other.

Is that not the very purpose of an academy such as this?

Magnanimous

Why, yes, of course!

Anna.

And also...

Miss Jaune.

Miss Violet.

Miss Marron.

Yes! Violet Jaune Marron

Starting today, I hope that you will all place your differences aside

and band together as fellow students.

Yes! You can count on it!

Wow, that Magic Fand comes in really handy!

It even works as a cheat sheet!
