SR Faust 【For the Sake of My Student】

"A Teacher's Worries" 1:



Faust: I didn't think that I would end up in an outfit like this...

Faust
: (A dance... I mean, it's been a while since I've danced. I'm out of practice.)

Shino: Heath, you look good no matter what you wear. As expected of my lord.

Heathcliff
: T-Thanks. I don't really want to stand out too much, but I have to do my best for Master Faust...

Faust: (... Heh, it's just as Shino says. That outfit suits Heath well.)

Owen
: Hey, Heathcliff.

*sound of stepping on dirt*

Faust: (Owen! Don't tell me he's planning on doing something to those...)

Snow: Owen, do not say anything malicious.

White: You always go after him so swiftly. If you want to give someone attention, give it to us!

Faust: (If Snow and White are here, then it's probably fine.)

Nero
: Haha... Faust. What've you been doing over here by yourself since a while ago. Ya look suspicious.

Faust: ... Oh, be quiet.

Nero: Can't calm down since you're wearing somethin' different than normal?

Faust: I don't want to be told that by you.

Nero: Or maybe you're worried about the fact that we're working with the Northern Wizards.

Faust: Both you and I are fine, but it's only natural to be watchful that the Sage, Heath, and Shino aren't in any danger.

Nero
: Oh, so I'm okay.

Faust: ... I've already failed once, after all. I ended up letting those two and the Sage be in danger during our joint mission with the Northern Wizards before.



"A Teacher's Worries" 2:




Faust
: In the first place, rather than that being the Northern Wizards' fault, it was the fault of my predictions being naive.

Nero: Y'know, your sense of responsibility's pretty strong, or like, you're surprisingly overprotective.

Faust
: It's normal. Particularly, Shino and Heath are both still kids, so they should be protected. You would do the same, wouldn't you?

Nero
: ... I might not be able to go that far.

Nero
: But anyway, if you're so tense all the time, you're gonna tire out. Here, take this.

*passes*

Faust
: Baked confectionaries? Did you get them from a villager?

Nero
: Nah, Brad just... Bradley just gave it to me.

Faust
: You get along well with the Northern Wizards, huh.

Nero
: Ah, no, he probably just gave it to me as thanks for always makin' meals or somethin'.

Faust: Thank you, I'll take it. ... This is delicious.

Nero
: Ooh, you're right, it is.

Nero
: ... Those guys, y'know, they came here 'cuz they wanted to heal your wound from the Calamity. Pretty nice, admirable students ya got.

Faust
: I had no intention of asking them for such a thing, but... They're both eager to train, and they're stronger than they were before.

Faust: Yeah, they're good students.

Nero
: I'm sure that's why you wanna treasure 'em, too. Well, protect them as best as you can. Technically, I'll at least keep an eye on 'em, too.

Faust
: You're pretty overprotective, too.

Nero
: Maybe.

Villager
: The important snacks we were going to use for the festival are gone! Everyone, let's split up and look for them!

Faust and Nero: Wha.

Faust
: H-Hey, Nero. That snack you gave me wasn't something Bradley stole, was it?

Nero
: Ahaha. Since ya ate it, you're guilty, too.





Card Episode "A Trusting Gaze":



Akira: Faust, you seem kind of sleepy today.

... Ah. Is it that you haven't really been able to sleep because of your peculiar wound...?

Faust: No, I just stayed up late reading a book yesterday. You're a worrywart, huh. ... Thank you.

Akira: Um, this might be too intrusive, but... You haven't talked about your wound with the rest of the Eastern wizards, right?

Faust: Yeah, I haven't. But I'm sure they've noticed that it has something to do with sleep.

Because I make sure that I never sleep in front of another person.

Akira: Faust...

Faust
: Why are you the one who has that pained expression? I'm fine. Those kids aren't the type to carelessly pry into a person's heart.

Of course, Nero isn't, either. If it becomes necessary, I'll talk to them about it myself, and if it's not necessary, then continuing on like this is fine.

Akira: ...

Faust: What. If you want to say something, say it.

Akira: Ah, I'm sorry. I just thought that your gaze was very gentle...

Faust
: Huh?

Akira: Faust, you really trust the Eastern wizards, don't you.

Faust: ... Don't look at me with that unpleasantly warm gaze. Well, we're wizards from the same country, so a bit, yeah.

Akira: I'll let you leave it at that.
