The Sage's Book
Preface: The Sage's Book is in the manor tab along with the wizards' rooms, kitchen, and indoor training area. As you unlock a character's character episodes, raise their affection level in the kitchen, and interact with them in their rooms, you unlock more and more information on them in the Sage's Book. I've unlocked every piece of information in the book on all the wizards, so I decided to translate it because it's quite interesting. Here's a breakdown of how each entry on a wizard goes (as a forewarning, I made up all the titles for the different sections and they are not canon):
1: The General Section is where their heights, birthdays, likes, dislikes, and other information is listed. If you look at your book in game, this page usually has a doodle somewhere of something Akira associates with that wizard. This section takes up the entire 1st page of their entry.
2: Akira's Notes is where Akira writes down four paragraphs containing their thoughts related to the wizard. This section takes up the entire 2nd page of the wizard's entry. It's also marked by a drawing of that wizard's magic circle. The 1st and 4th paragraphs are related to character episodes, while the 2nd and 3rd are related to their affection stories. These are all direct references, so you can see the overlap if you read their character episodes or affection stories!
3: Sticky Notes are posted on the 1st and 2nd pages of their entries in set spots. You unlock these after hitting understanding level 75 on both characters it relates to. For example, the topmost sticky note on Oz's 1st page is made by Arthur. You have to reach understanding level 75 on both of them to unlock this note. Sticky notes are Akira's recordings of what one wizard said about the wizard they are currently writing an entry on.
And that's how the format works! Any translation notes will be at the bottom.
Central Country
Oz -
General Section:
Height: 185 cm
Birthday: April 27
Magical Item: Staff
Specialty: Destructive magic
Something he likes/likes doing: Diamond dust
Something he hates/hates doing: People who don't know their place
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Basically all types of magic
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Making himself seem more approachable
Wound from the "Great Calamity": He falls asleep when he uses magic at night
Akira's Notes:
Oz said that the Northern wizards were being noisy, and then he forced them out into the courtyard by using teleportation magic. He got rid of them by brute force, just what I'd expect from Oz...
According to Oz, the weather can be affected by his emotions. When his emotions run wild, the wind also turns savage; and apparently, he has also enclosed the world in an icy blizzard when he was feeling despondent...
Oz said that when Arthur was younger, he would mistake himself for a hawk or bear, and that he was the same as a midwinter butterfly. He must have been an even more mischievous child than I imagined.
Oz, Snow, and White were playing shiritori. Snow and White kept telling Oz that he was doing it wrong. I'm pretty sure those two are about the only people who can say those kinds of things to him.
Sticky Notes:
Arthur > Oz: "My foster parent and teacher of magic" apparently
Cain > Oz: "My lord's teacher and my drinking buddy" it seems
Riquet > Oz: "Is he corrupted? Not? I don't know" is what he said
Arthur -
General Section:
Height: 172 cm
Birthday: March 9
Magical Item: Tome
Specialty: Memorization
Something he likes/likes doing: Reading
Something he hates/hates doing: Bad dreams
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Switching gears with his feelings
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Meetings when he's tired
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
When we heard a weird sound coming from the attic, Arthur went to go find out what it was before anyone else even moved. It was very characteristic of Arthur, but thinking about his status as a prince makes me so nervous when he does things like that. Chloe was worried about him, too.
Arthur may be a prince, but apparently he can handle common household chores, and he made some delicious tea for me. It seems that when Arthur was a child, he wanted to do chores, so Oz learned them together with him.
Arthur said that every time he reads a book, he begins a life in a world he doesn't know yet, and when he finishes reading a book, he is reborn. I'll do my best to write a book of an extremely special adventure for the prince...
Arthur came home by using the elevator in the Central Tower. Apparently, he wanted to eat dinner, which was Nero's stew, before it got cold, so he used a valuable mana stone in order to work the elevator. He's living the celeb life...
Sticky Notes:
Oz > Arthur: "The first one I opened my heart to" apparently (1)
Cain > Arthur: "My very important lord, and also my friend" is what he said
Riquet > Arthur: "A wonderful person" he said
Cain -
General Section:
Height: 179 cm
Birthday: August 6
Magical Item: Sword
Specialty: Sword techniques
Something he likes/likes doing: Teamwork
Something he hates/hates doing: Snakes
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Communicating
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Speaking politely
Wound from the "Great Calamity": He can't perceive a person's appearance until he touches them
Akira's Notes:
Cain and Arthur were practicing using swords. Arthur is learning how to use a sword at the castle as well, but with Cain, he doesn't have to be as mindful, so he apparently asks Cain for practice sessions sometimes. Both of them were really cool!
Cain said that when he was with the knights, no one locked their doors. Apparently, he was invited to hang out or go out to the town often, too. I hope the Magic Manor is able to be similar to that as well.
Cain was chased out from the order of knights because Owen exposed that he was a wizard. But, he's using that experience as motivation and is training in a positive light. It seems like it doesn't suit him to just gripe his day away.
Cain and Lennox were arm wrestling. It was a really good match that was getting pretty heated, but the desk ended up being the one who couldn't hold out, and its legs contorted. Arm wrestling matches between a former knight and a former soldier are on a whole 'nother level...
Sticky Notes:
Oz > Cain: "Young people these days" seems like what he thinks
Arthur > Cain: "A very important subordinate, and my friend" it seems
Riquet > Cain: "He's a bit boorish..." he says
Riquet -
General Section:
Height: 165 cm
Birthday: October 2
Magical Item: Lantern
Specialty: Leadership
Something he likes/likes doing: God
Something he hates/hates doing: Those lacking faith
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Ministry
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Reading and writing
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
Nero made sweet potatoes for Riquet. Apparently, Riquet requested them as a reward for improving his magical ability. It looks like Nero's food is also playing a part in Riquet's improvement.
It seems like Riquet's recently become able to read books as a result of him currently studying how to read and write. It looks like he's struggling to decide whether it's alright to believe in what's written in those books, but it seems like he's having fun reading regardless.
Riquet told me that when he was with his religious organization, it was his duty to light the fire in the adherents' lanterns. Maybe the people in that religious organization were fantasizing of a holy miracle somewhere within Riquet's quiet smile.
Riquet asked me if there was a way to make Mitile a Central wizard. Apparently, he wants to train together with him. When I suggested that they have a joint training session, Riquet immediately took off to find Oz, Mitile in tow.
Sticky Notes:
Oz > Riquet: "He is more of a child than he looks" he said
Arthur > Riquet: "I want him to learn about this expansive world" it seems
Cain > Riquet: "Eat a bunch and grow up real big" is what he said
Northern Country
Snow -
General Section:
Height: 135 cm
Birthday: May 29
Magical Item: Doll
Specialty: Prophesizing
Something he likes/likes doing: Jokes
Something he hates/hates doing: Bereavement
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Divination
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Arguing with his other half
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When it comes time for the moon to begin its climb, he's trapped in a painting
Akira's Notes:
When I went to the common room, I was asked who was handsomer by Snow in his adult form and Figaro. I'd like to put my answer on hold, please...
Apparently, even if they're apart, Snow can tell what White is doing as if he was right there with him. It's pretty amazing that they even have the same dreams when they sleep...
Apparently, Murr is involved with why Snow and White ended up separated. Why did this tragedy happen? What was the right decision for them to make?
Snow and White were angrier than I'd ever seen them before, and it wasn't an act, either. It seems like the Northern wizards coincidentally ran into each other in the bath area, and there was a lot of trouble because of that...
Sticky Notes:
White > Snow: "We are essentially a part of each other" he said
Mithra > Snow: "If you are two but one, that is the same as being a single wizard" it seems
Owen > Snow: "I don't really wanna run into him" apparently
Bradley > Snow: "Damn bastard sided with the humans and caught me" is what he said
White -
General Section:
Height: 135 cm
Birthday: May 29
Magical Item: Doll
Specialty: Prophesizing
Something he likes/likes doing: Jokes
Something he hates/hates doing: Bereavement
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Divination
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Arguing with his other half
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When it comes time for the moon to begin its climb, he's trapped in a painting
Akira's Notes:
White called Mithra and Owen out of their rooms while in his adult form. Maybe it's because his adult form has more impact, but both of them obediently listened to him. Wow, bluffs work on them...
White doesn't deal too well with bitter things, so apparently, he wants to avoid coffee, strong teas, and medicine. Also, he can drink sweet alcoholic drinks, but he gets sleepy very fast. How adorable!
When White heard Snow's voice, he smiled with a gaze filled with love. Even if he's White's ghost, or just an apparation created by Snow—I thought to myself that I like him very much even so.
In the morning, Snow and White went around to wake up the Northern wizards, who were all asleep in their rooms. There was a really loud sound, so I wonder what exactly happened inside those rooms...?
Sticky Notes:
Snow > White: "We are essentially a part of each other" he said
Mithra > White: "Twins who are an eyesore and a nuisance" it seems
Owen > White: "A thorn in my side" apparently
Bradley > White: "I'll get my revenge on 'em and Figaro one day" is what he said
Mithra -
General Section:
Height: 187 cm
Birthday: February 8
Magical Item: Crystal skull
Specialty: Controlling the dead and corpses
Something he likes/likes doing: Bones
Something he hates/hates doing: Working with a group
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Swimming
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Holding back
Wound from the "Great Calamity": Can't sleep
Akira's Notes:
Mithra and Owen laid out a magic circle splat in the middle of the hallway as a trap set for Oz. These two actually get along pretty well...
Apparently, Mithra acted as a ferryman for his hometown, carrying the dead to their burial grounds in his ferry. Being a ferryman was treated as menial work, so his polite way of speaking was apparently instilled into him by the people of the village.
It seems like Mithra's encounter with Tiletta is when he first found out he was a wizard. According to him, she was like a mentor, a kindred soul, a little sister.
Mithra confiscated a frog that spits deadly poison from Mitile in a panic. The moment he was allowed some relief, this time Rutile ended up picking up the same frog... If Mithra wasn't there, that would've been really dangerous.
Sticky Notes:
Snow > Mithra: "The ace of the Magic Manor that we have high expectations for" is what he told me
White > Mithra: "In the past, he was like a grandson to me, but now he is like my nephew" it seems
Owen > Mithra: "He's stronger than me and also fickle, so he's always causing trouble for me" he said
Bradley > Mithra: "A wild animal. Talkin' to him doesn't work" he said
Owen -
General Section:
Height: 178 cm
Birthday: November 1
Magical Item: Trunk
Specialty: Speaking to animals
Something he likes/likes doing: Being alone
Something he hates/hates doing: Good intentions
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Dying
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: "You."
Wound from the "Great Calamity": His personality suddenly becomes kind
Akira's Notes:
Little birds were gathered around Owen. Owen said that animals are boring because they don't talk badly of others, but I really am a bit jealous that he can speak to animals...
Since it seems like Owen doesn't want people to know about his peculiar wound from the "Great Calamity," I want to support him as much as I can in that. But, it's kind of difficult to get him to spend time with me.
Apparently, Owen worked as someone who hunted down wolves. Owen says that he likes humans more than animals because their malice is more raw, but it seems like he himself doesn't understand why he likes malice so much.
Owen had fallen over with his eyes still open. I wonder if he was pretending to be dead or if he was actually dead... Cain was worried about Owen, which made him irritated, so the incident ended with me not being able to ask him about it.
Sticky Notes:
Snow > Owen: "He may have lost himself a long time ago" it seems... (2)
White > Owen: "He does not have bonds with anyone, which makes him frightening" apparently
Mithra > Owen: "He's always smiling, so it is easy to talk to him" he said
Bradley > Owen: "Gross. Talkin' to him doesn't work" is what he said
Bradley -
General Section:
Height: 182 cm
Birthday: December 13
Magical Item: Rifle
Specialty: Fighting
Something he likes/likes doing: Good food
Something he hates/hates doing: Vegetables
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Stealing by force
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Self-restraint
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When he sneezes, he gets immediately teleported to a distant place
Akira's Notes:
Riquet and Mitile were chasing Bradley. Apparently, Nero had asked them to catch the person who was picking on the food, and all three of them looked like they were having a lot of fun.
Apparently, Bradley was forced to make a promise that entails, "I will serve my sentence as a prisoner until my prison sentence is finished." Since he doesn't want to lose his magic, he has no choice but to obey the promise. So that's why he can't break free...
There was once a person who was like a partner to Bradley. It seems like he really trusted them, but I wonder if that person betrayed him...?
I encountered Bradley and Nero taking a break. Even though Nero tried waking him up, Bradley stayed asleep, so I was careless and peered over to get a glimpse of his sleeping face. All of a sudden, there was the mouth of a gun pointing at me, which really scared me.
Sticky Notes:
Snow > Bradley: "We had him become an 'evil wizard'" is what he said
White > Bradley: "Talking to him can be effective, which is seldom seen in Northern wizards" apparently
Mithra > Bradley: "He speaks so fast that I do not know what he's saying" it seems
Owen > Bradley: "You're younger than me and weaker than me, so do what I tell you to" he said
Eastern Country
Faust -
General Section:
Height: 174 cm
Birthday: January 13
Magical Item: Mirror
Specialty: Cursing techniques
Something he likes/likes doing: His room
Something he hates/hates doing: The Central Country
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Cursing someone/something
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Those who are weak
Wound from the "Great Calamity": The dreams that he has overflow
Akira's Notes:
Faust and Figaro were creating questions for their written examinations. They got pretty into bragging about their students, so I think these two might be surprisingly compatible, actually...
Faust has previously danced at a party held with his comrades around a bonfire. That was a surprise... According to Lennox, Faust, who has beautiful standing posture, is very good at dancing as well.
Faust and Alec are childhood friends. Apparently, Faust was always getting angry at Alec, who was pretty reckless. However, the Faust in Alec's painting wore a very gentle expression.
Faust was having Oz help him with creating the materials he was going to use in the Eastern Country's lesson. Even though people call them a demon king and a maledictor, they're both oddly serious, aren't they...
Sticky Notes:
Shino > Faust: "He's doing a good job. I'm having him teach me about magic" he said
Heathcliff > Faust: "He says that he's a maledictor, but he's a wonderful person" it seems
Nero > Faust: "Since we both don't interfere with each other, 's easy to be with 'im" apparently
Shino -
General Section:
Height: 168 cm
Birthday: April 14
Magical Item: Scythe
Specialty: Making traps
Something he likes/likes doing: Being praised
Something he hates/hates doing: Self-restraint
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Providing for himself
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Reading the room
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
Shino was performing maintenance on the forest. So that Mitile and Riquet didn't injure themselves, he was cutting off stretching tree roots, stomping down branches, and making the path in the forest nicer. Shino's so reliable.
It seems like Shino had Faust read the stars, letting him find out when his own birthday is. Up until then, Shino's birthday was celebrated on the same day as Heath's, according to Shino's own request.
To Shino, Heath is his first friend. It seems like Heath even engraved the design on Shino's magical item, his scythe. Childhood friends are so nice.
Shino and Heath were practicing their control over their magic by making sugar. When Shino got all worked up and said, "I'm gonna make some sugar that's prettier than Heath's," he was kind of cute...
Sticky Notes:
Faust > Shino: "He has true ability, but he's so imprudent" it seems
Heathcliff > Shino: "I want to be friends who are equals. I don't want you to act so rashly" he said
Nero > Shino: "Think whoever wants to be with Shino's gonna have a hard time" is what he said
Heathcliff -
General Section:
Height: 176 cm
Birthday: June 29
Magical Item: Pocket watch
Specialty: Inventing
Something he likes/likes doing: Fiddling with machines
Something he hates/hates doing: Dangerous things
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Minding his manners
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Unsanitary places
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When he feels a strong sense of fear, he turns into a black panther
Akira's Notes:
When Murr gave him a tabletop astronomic clock that he found at the flea market, Heath was uncharacteristically excited. It seems like it was something that was pretty valuable. It's nice that he was really happy to receive it.
Heath was talking to me about how, if everyone was able to live more easily through the development of machines, then maybe the prejudice against wizards will slowly begin to disappear. What a wonderful way of thinking...
Apparently, Heath found out that his mentor, who he thought was a renowned wizard, wasn't actually strong when he came to the Magic Manor. Also, it seems that it was Shylock's recommendation that he study under Faust.
I taught Heath about roasted sweet potatoes. He said, "Maybe I'll give some to Shino," so I wonder if he liked them... The next time I clean the courtyard, I might be able to see the Eastern wizards roasting sweet potatoes together.
Sticky Notes:
Faust > Heathcliff: "I'm not the kind of person that you should respect" is what he said
Shino > Heathcliff: "You're my lord that I'm proud of, so you should stand out more" it seems
Nero > Heathcliff: "He's a kind kid, so I hope he doesn't get hurt" is what he told me
Nero -
General Section:
Height: 178 cm
Birthday: September 8
Magical Item: Cutlery
Specialty: Homemade cooking that's pretty elaborate
Something he likes/likes doing: Days off
Something he hates/hates doing: Attending to customers
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Cooking
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Getting attached
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
When I was in a pinch because the door wouldn't open, Nero used magic to wrench the lock open. He was so skilled with his hands that he was almost like a professional lock-picker, and I was really impressed by him...
Up until now, the thing that has left the deepest impression on Nero is when he realized that someone who he thought was an idiot wasn't actually an idiot. He's always so friendly and easy to talk to, but when it comes to talking about himself, it's like he surrounds himself in a smokescreen...
Nero was born in the North, but after he wandered around the world, he settled down in Eastern lands. While he did feel lonely because of the temperment of the Eastern Country where they're apathetic to others, it seems like it also fit his personality.
Nero was hunting down a rat in the kitchen. It seems like the cause of it being there was Bradley's leftover food. When Nero said, "Yer fuckin' dead meat," in his anger, I wonder if his target was the rat, or if his target was...
Sticky Notes:
Faust > Nero: "He's reliable. I think he's better suited for a teaching role than I am" apparently
Shino > Nero: "He makes good food" is what he said
Heathcliff > Nero: "I feel like our personalities are similar. He's kind, and also really mature" he said
Western Country
Shylock -
General Section:
Height: 180 cm
Birthday: October 14
Magical Item: Pipe
Specialty: Brewing
Something he likes/likes doing: Unpredictable things/people
Something he hates/hates doing: Vulgar things
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Troublesome things
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Not being able to enjoy unpredictable things
Wound from the "Great Calamity": His heart is periodically set ablaze and causes him pain
Akira's Notes:
Shylock prepared a special cocktail for me. It was really shocking when Shylock told that lie that it was a cocktail that used nectar from a poisonous flower... It was so realistic that I couldn't even tell that he was lying.
In the past, Shylock smoked tobacco, but because of a tobacco control movement some centuries ago, he changed to something that isn't tobacco. So tobacco control movements happen in this world too, though that's not too surprising...
On the day Shylock and Murr met, they apparently conversed passionately until dawn, but they ended up parting after getting into an argument. I think it's really wonderful that these two unique personalities are able to be friends.
Shylock was reading in the common room. At his side, Murr was curled up like a cat and sleeping. Was the reason why Shylock chose to read his book there because...
Sticky Notes:
Murr > Shylock: "The owner of my favorite bar, and a special friend" it seems
Chloe > Shylock: "He's mature, but also cute sometimes!" is what he said
Rustica > Shylock: "We have a relationship where we can both spend a satisfying time with each other for a long period" he said
Murr -
General Section:
Height: 177 cm
Birthday: February 11
Magical Item: Ring
Specialty: Card games and chess
Something he likes/likes doing: The "Great Calamity"
Something he hates/hates doing: Boredom
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Appraising jewels
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Staying still
Wound from the "Great Calamity": Fragments of his soul generate substantial forms
Akira's Notes:
Murr, who was playing hide-and-seek, brought me with him and invaded Oz's room without permission. I had no idea what was going to happen when Murr started to doze off in front of the fireplace...
Apparently, when the past Murr winks, it means, "Let it slide, okay?" Shylock had quite a few complaints about the past Murr, but he kind of looked like he was enjoying himself...
Murr's soul is such a captivating yet terrible person. I was angry that he tricked me, but in the end, I ended up forgiving him. Because, after all, we're friends who both understand exploration.
Murr, who was helping out at Shylock's bar, made a really pretty cocktail. That being said, Shylock's a really good boss, making sure to give people breaks if they work for him...
Sticky Notes:
Shylock > Murr: "An old friend. A delightfully loathsome person" is what he said (3)
Chloe > Murr: "He's like a fickle kitty" is what he told me
Rustica > Murr: "An extraodinary philosopher, whose actions are all philosophical" is how he described him as a person
Chloe -
General Section:
Height: 176 cm
Birthday: November 12
Magical Item: Sewing box
Specialty: Sewing and mending clothes
Something he likes/likes doing: Style
Something he hates/hates doing: Being alone
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Sewing
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Angered voices
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Note:
Chloe and Murr were playing tag. Apparently, it was a very serious game of tag that Murr had been the one to suggest. Chloe was surprisingly really into it and told me, "I'll make sure to live until the very end. So that we can definitely meet again...!"
Apparently, up until they were chosen as Sage's wizards, Chloe and Rustica were traveling around the world. I thought that they might be bored with life in the Magic Manor after an experience like that, but it seems like they're having a fun time.
Rustica and Chloe's first meeting ended with Rustica mistaking Chloe, who was shut away in the sewing room, for his bride and stealing him away. Chloe told me that as he spent time with Rustica, he started to like himself bit by bit.
Chloe showed me the results of his practice with drinking alcohol in a mature manner. But immediately afterward, when Shylock appeared, he started to panic really hard. Maybe his model for "maturity" is Shylock?
Sticky Notes:
Shylock > Chloe: "A cute young wizard" is what he said
Murr > Chloe: "He gives me lots of clothes to wear!" he said
Rustica > Chloe: "A precious friend that I traveled with" is what he told me about him
Rustica -
General Section:
Height: 178 cm
Birthday: March 19
Magical Item: Birdcage
Specialty: Playing musical instruments, singing
Something he likes/likes doing: Time spent enjoying time (4)
Something he hates/hates doing: Denying someone/being denied by someone
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Proposing
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Chores
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
It seems like Rustica sometimes chats with the little birds who live in the trees. And apparently, he also talks to them about the Sage...
Rustica's hobby is collecting works of art, and he told me that the art and tableware in his room are things he's collected as well. The painting of the lady sometimes sings together with Rustica's harpsichord!
Though Rustica is searching for his bride that has gone missing, it seems like he's forgotten her name and her distinctive features. Even so, they're fated lovers, so he believes that he'll definitely meet her again sometime.
Rustica shared his souvenir with me, which were some steamed buns. Apparently, they were "Oz-Style Steamed Buns" which were patterned with the visage of the legendary Oz. I think Rustica's a very kind person for not keeping something that he likes all to himself. (5)
Sticky Notes:
Shylock > Rustica: "A gentlemanly and amusing friend who cannot be dealt with by ordinary means" apparently
Murr > Rustica: "I might've met him before?" is what he said, but...
Chloe > Rustica: "My beloved mentor and a beloved friend" is what he said
Southern Country
Figaro -
General Section:
Height: 183 cm
Birthday: June 5
Magical Item: Orb
Specialty: Communication
Something he likes/likes doing: Love
Something he hates/hates doing: When his plans fall apart
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Socializing
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Abstinence
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
Figaro was being lectured by Snow and White. It seems like Figaro had made a brutal suggestion, so the two of them were preaching to him about morals. I'm curious what that was all about...
Before he met Snow and White, Figaro lived at the cold seaside, apparently. He told me that it was a place that he liked.
It seems that Figaro's job is to drink warm tea with the Sage in his room on nights when the moon is bright and beautiful.
Figaro received letters of gratitude from Mitile, Rutile, and Lennox. He hid his embarrassment by talking about how he was going to drink tonight as celebration, but he really did seem happy.
Sticky Notes:
Rutile > Figaro: "A wonderful teacher who's also very reliable" is what he said
Lennox > Figaro: "A great person who also has some troubling sides" he said
Mitile > Figaro: "A bit slovenly, but still a great teacher" is what he told me
Rutile -

Birthday: July 1
Magical Item: Feather pen
Specialty: Calligraphy
Something he likes/likes doing: Creating things
Something he hates/hates doing: Evil intentions
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Teaching about things
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: To be fixated on self-interest
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
At the dining hall, Rutile drank the strong alcohol that Figaro had recommended to me so that I didn't have to, but the color of his face didn't change at all. It seems like he's surprisingly good at holding his drink.
Apparently, Rutile's dream is to make a picture book where humans and wizards live together in peace, and to have that book be known across the whole world. What a wonderful idea. It seems like Arthur, who likes books, is rooting for him to fulfill his dream as well.
According to him, Rutile gave half of his magic to Mitile when he was just born, in order to save his life. However, it seems like he has no regrets regarding that, and he happily told me about the joy of being able to be with Mitile.
Rutile and Chloe had a big cloth spread out. Apparently, Chloe was going to tailor an outfit out of the cloth that Rutile would paint on. They told me that I would be the first to see it after they completed it!
Sticky Notes:
Figaro > Rutile: "I'm glad he grew up to be someone who's well put together and kind" he said
Lennox > Rutile: "A smart and beautiful child who inherited his parents' good traits" it seems
Mitile > Rutile: "My older brother who I love and am very proud of" is what he said
Lennox -

Magical Item: Key
Specialty: Martial arts
Something he likes/likes doing: Nature
Something he hates/hates doing: Insults
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Waiting
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Speaking a lot
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
Rutile and Mitile were dangling off of Lennox's arms and having a lot of fun. Apparently, to Lennox, both of them are still just two cute kids.
It seems like Lennox would take sheep out to pasture back when he was in the Southern Country. During the summer he would be in the mountains, and when it came time for winter, he would come down to the foot of the mountains. He once had a herding dog, but now he looks after them with magic, he said.
Lennox was born in a coal mine during times of war. Perhaps it's exactly because Lennox has lived such an intense life, like the insurrection of the coal mine and the battle to found a nation, that he is such a calm and kind person.
Lennox was helping Oz repair his room after the sun had set. Since Lennox is also more of the taciturn type, it might be easy for Oz to rely on him when he runs into a problem.
Sticky Notes:
Figaro > Lennox: "My former disciple's subordinate, and someone I recommended to become a shepherd" apparently
Rutile > Lennox: "A kind and reliable person who's always on point" it seems
Mitile > Lennox: "Really reliable and cool!" is what he said
Mitile -
General Section:
Height: 162 cm
Birthday: December 15
Magical Item: Medicine bottle
Specialty: Making medicine
Something he likes/likes doing: His hometown
Something he hates/hates doing: Evil wizards
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Studying, working hard
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Physical magic
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
I was wondering why Mitile was covered in mud when he told me that he got into a fight with Mithra and this was his payback from him. These two might be on the same level in arguing...
It seems like Mitile is frustrated and worried about not being able to use his magic well. Bradley said that Figaro has no intention of making Mitile strong, but...
Mitile's specialty is making magical medicine. He's still studying, but because he's the second son to his family, it seems like he's making sure to think about his future. It looks like right now, he's thinking that he wants to make himself useful to a village that doesn't have any other wizards.
Rutile and Nero secretly followed after Mitile and Riquet, who were running errands at the Central market. It looks like they were concerned about the two of them after all.
Sticky Notes:
Figaro > Mitile: "My cute student who I'm teaching magic to" he said
Rutile > Mitile: "My beloved, adorable little brother" is what he told me
Lennox > Mitile: "A good child who has a lot of motivation. I can't help but keep an eye on him in various ways" apparently
Notes:
1: Oz > Arthur's sticky note actually would read like "'the first I opened my heart to' person, apparently" which clearly makes no sense in English, so I moved the "person" into Oz's statement for ease of reading and my own sanity's sake
2: Snow > Owen's sticky note means what it says, but as clarification just in case, Snow is suggesting that Owen lost his mind somewhere in the distant past already, hence Akira's hesitance at the end as they trail off
3: Some of you may be aware of this, but the word Shylock often uses in Japanese to describe Murr is double-sided. It can both mean "detestable" and "so detestable it's wonderful" so I took the liberty of just using "delightfully loathsome" as the translation so you can get a taste of both worlds in English as well
4: No you did not read that wrong. Rustica likes to spend his time... enjoying time. I believe this is mentioned in his activation line for his Concerto card as well
5: "Oz-Style Steamed Buns" I was originally just going to put it as "Oz Steamed Buns" or "Steamed Oz Buns" or something equally... inappropriate but figured I should translate it into something more... suitable.
6: This isn't a translation note, but if you saw the cut of this post on my blog before I fixed it, I apologize for the mistake I made in formatting, but it should be fixed now. I tried making it easier to read if I could, but I ended up making a mistake in formatting because of that T_T I hope it isn't too difficult to read, but if it's too hard to read, please let me know!
1: The General Section is where their heights, birthdays, likes, dislikes, and other information is listed. If you look at your book in game, this page usually has a doodle somewhere of something Akira associates with that wizard. This section takes up the entire 1st page of their entry.
2: Akira's Notes is where Akira writes down four paragraphs containing their thoughts related to the wizard. This section takes up the entire 2nd page of the wizard's entry. It's also marked by a drawing of that wizard's magic circle. The 1st and 4th paragraphs are related to character episodes, while the 2nd and 3rd are related to their affection stories. These are all direct references, so you can see the overlap if you read their character episodes or affection stories!
3: Sticky Notes are posted on the 1st and 2nd pages of their entries in set spots. You unlock these after hitting understanding level 75 on both characters it relates to. For example, the topmost sticky note on Oz's 1st page is made by Arthur. You have to reach understanding level 75 on both of them to unlock this note. Sticky notes are Akira's recordings of what one wizard said about the wizard they are currently writing an entry on.
And that's how the format works! Any translation notes will be at the bottom.

Oz -
General Section:
Height: 185 cm
Birthday: April 27
Magical Item: Staff
Specialty: Destructive magic
Something he likes/likes doing: Diamond dust
Something he hates/hates doing: People who don't know their place
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Basically all types of magic
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Making himself seem more approachable
Wound from the "Great Calamity": He falls asleep when he uses magic at night
Akira's Notes:
Oz said that the Northern wizards were being noisy, and then he forced them out into the courtyard by using teleportation magic. He got rid of them by brute force, just what I'd expect from Oz...
According to Oz, the weather can be affected by his emotions. When his emotions run wild, the wind also turns savage; and apparently, he has also enclosed the world in an icy blizzard when he was feeling despondent...
Oz said that when Arthur was younger, he would mistake himself for a hawk or bear, and that he was the same as a midwinter butterfly. He must have been an even more mischievous child than I imagined.
Oz, Snow, and White were playing shiritori. Snow and White kept telling Oz that he was doing it wrong. I'm pretty sure those two are about the only people who can say those kinds of things to him.
Sticky Notes:
Arthur > Oz: "My foster parent and teacher of magic" apparently
Cain > Oz: "My lord's teacher and my drinking buddy" it seems
Riquet > Oz: "Is he corrupted? Not? I don't know" is what he said
Arthur -
General Section:
Height: 172 cm
Birthday: March 9
Magical Item: Tome
Specialty: Memorization
Something he likes/likes doing: Reading
Something he hates/hates doing: Bad dreams
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Switching gears with his feelings
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Meetings when he's tired
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
When we heard a weird sound coming from the attic, Arthur went to go find out what it was before anyone else even moved. It was very characteristic of Arthur, but thinking about his status as a prince makes me so nervous when he does things like that. Chloe was worried about him, too.
Arthur may be a prince, but apparently he can handle common household chores, and he made some delicious tea for me. It seems that when Arthur was a child, he wanted to do chores, so Oz learned them together with him.
Arthur said that every time he reads a book, he begins a life in a world he doesn't know yet, and when he finishes reading a book, he is reborn. I'll do my best to write a book of an extremely special adventure for the prince...
Arthur came home by using the elevator in the Central Tower. Apparently, he wanted to eat dinner, which was Nero's stew, before it got cold, so he used a valuable mana stone in order to work the elevator. He's living the celeb life...
Sticky Notes:
Oz > Arthur: "The first one I opened my heart to" apparently (1)
Cain > Arthur: "My very important lord, and also my friend" is what he said
Riquet > Arthur: "A wonderful person" he said
Cain -
General Section:
Height: 179 cm
Birthday: August 6
Magical Item: Sword
Specialty: Sword techniques
Something he likes/likes doing: Teamwork
Something he hates/hates doing: Snakes
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Communicating
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Speaking politely
Wound from the "Great Calamity": He can't perceive a person's appearance until he touches them
Akira's Notes:
Cain and Arthur were practicing using swords. Arthur is learning how to use a sword at the castle as well, but with Cain, he doesn't have to be as mindful, so he apparently asks Cain for practice sessions sometimes. Both of them were really cool!
Cain said that when he was with the knights, no one locked their doors. Apparently, he was invited to hang out or go out to the town often, too. I hope the Magic Manor is able to be similar to that as well.
Cain was chased out from the order of knights because Owen exposed that he was a wizard. But, he's using that experience as motivation and is training in a positive light. It seems like it doesn't suit him to just gripe his day away.
Cain and Lennox were arm wrestling. It was a really good match that was getting pretty heated, but the desk ended up being the one who couldn't hold out, and its legs contorted. Arm wrestling matches between a former knight and a former soldier are on a whole 'nother level...
Sticky Notes:
Oz > Cain: "Young people these days" seems like what he thinks
Arthur > Cain: "A very important subordinate, and my friend" it seems
Riquet > Cain: "He's a bit boorish..." he says
Riquet -
General Section:
Height: 165 cm
Birthday: October 2
Magical Item: Lantern
Specialty: Leadership
Something he likes/likes doing: God
Something he hates/hates doing: Those lacking faith
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Ministry
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Reading and writing
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
Nero made sweet potatoes for Riquet. Apparently, Riquet requested them as a reward for improving his magical ability. It looks like Nero's food is also playing a part in Riquet's improvement.
It seems like Riquet's recently become able to read books as a result of him currently studying how to read and write. It looks like he's struggling to decide whether it's alright to believe in what's written in those books, but it seems like he's having fun reading regardless.
Riquet told me that when he was with his religious organization, it was his duty to light the fire in the adherents' lanterns. Maybe the people in that religious organization were fantasizing of a holy miracle somewhere within Riquet's quiet smile.
Riquet asked me if there was a way to make Mitile a Central wizard. Apparently, he wants to train together with him. When I suggested that they have a joint training session, Riquet immediately took off to find Oz, Mitile in tow.
Sticky Notes:
Oz > Riquet: "He is more of a child than he looks" he said
Arthur > Riquet: "I want him to learn about this expansive world" it seems
Cain > Riquet: "Eat a bunch and grow up real big" is what he said
Northern Country
Snow -
General Section:
Height: 135 cm
Birthday: May 29
Magical Item: Doll
Specialty: Prophesizing
Something he likes/likes doing: Jokes
Something he hates/hates doing: Bereavement
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Divination
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Arguing with his other half
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When it comes time for the moon to begin its climb, he's trapped in a painting
Akira's Notes:
When I went to the common room, I was asked who was handsomer by Snow in his adult form and Figaro. I'd like to put my answer on hold, please...
Apparently, even if they're apart, Snow can tell what White is doing as if he was right there with him. It's pretty amazing that they even have the same dreams when they sleep...
Apparently, Murr is involved with why Snow and White ended up separated. Why did this tragedy happen? What was the right decision for them to make?
Snow and White were angrier than I'd ever seen them before, and it wasn't an act, either. It seems like the Northern wizards coincidentally ran into each other in the bath area, and there was a lot of trouble because of that...
Sticky Notes:
White > Snow: "We are essentially a part of each other" he said
Mithra > Snow: "If you are two but one, that is the same as being a single wizard" it seems
Owen > Snow: "I don't really wanna run into him" apparently
Bradley > Snow: "Damn bastard sided with the humans and caught me" is what he said
White -
General Section:
Height: 135 cm
Birthday: May 29
Magical Item: Doll
Specialty: Prophesizing
Something he likes/likes doing: Jokes
Something he hates/hates doing: Bereavement
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Divination
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Arguing with his other half
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When it comes time for the moon to begin its climb, he's trapped in a painting
Akira's Notes:
White called Mithra and Owen out of their rooms while in his adult form. Maybe it's because his adult form has more impact, but both of them obediently listened to him. Wow, bluffs work on them...
White doesn't deal too well with bitter things, so apparently, he wants to avoid coffee, strong teas, and medicine. Also, he can drink sweet alcoholic drinks, but he gets sleepy very fast. How adorable!
When White heard Snow's voice, he smiled with a gaze filled with love. Even if he's White's ghost, or just an apparation created by Snow—I thought to myself that I like him very much even so.
In the morning, Snow and White went around to wake up the Northern wizards, who were all asleep in their rooms. There was a really loud sound, so I wonder what exactly happened inside those rooms...?
Sticky Notes:
Snow > White: "We are essentially a part of each other" he said
Mithra > White: "Twins who are an eyesore and a nuisance" it seems
Owen > White: "A thorn in my side" apparently
Bradley > White: "I'll get my revenge on 'em and Figaro one day" is what he said
Mithra -
General Section:
Height: 187 cm
Birthday: February 8
Magical Item: Crystal skull
Specialty: Controlling the dead and corpses
Something he likes/likes doing: Bones
Something he hates/hates doing: Working with a group
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Swimming
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Holding back
Wound from the "Great Calamity": Can't sleep
Akira's Notes:
Mithra and Owen laid out a magic circle splat in the middle of the hallway as a trap set for Oz. These two actually get along pretty well...
Apparently, Mithra acted as a ferryman for his hometown, carrying the dead to their burial grounds in his ferry. Being a ferryman was treated as menial work, so his polite way of speaking was apparently instilled into him by the people of the village.
It seems like Mithra's encounter with Tiletta is when he first found out he was a wizard. According to him, she was like a mentor, a kindred soul, a little sister.
Mithra confiscated a frog that spits deadly poison from Mitile in a panic. The moment he was allowed some relief, this time Rutile ended up picking up the same frog... If Mithra wasn't there, that would've been really dangerous.
Sticky Notes:
Snow > Mithra: "The ace of the Magic Manor that we have high expectations for" is what he told me
White > Mithra: "In the past, he was like a grandson to me, but now he is like my nephew" it seems
Owen > Mithra: "He's stronger than me and also fickle, so he's always causing trouble for me" he said
Bradley > Mithra: "A wild animal. Talkin' to him doesn't work" he said
Owen -
General Section:
Height: 178 cm
Birthday: November 1
Magical Item: Trunk
Specialty: Speaking to animals
Something he likes/likes doing: Being alone
Something he hates/hates doing: Good intentions
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Dying
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: "You."
Wound from the "Great Calamity": His personality suddenly becomes kind
Akira's Notes:
Little birds were gathered around Owen. Owen said that animals are boring because they don't talk badly of others, but I really am a bit jealous that he can speak to animals...
Since it seems like Owen doesn't want people to know about his peculiar wound from the "Great Calamity," I want to support him as much as I can in that. But, it's kind of difficult to get him to spend time with me.
Apparently, Owen worked as someone who hunted down wolves. Owen says that he likes humans more than animals because their malice is more raw, but it seems like he himself doesn't understand why he likes malice so much.
Owen had fallen over with his eyes still open. I wonder if he was pretending to be dead or if he was actually dead... Cain was worried about Owen, which made him irritated, so the incident ended with me not being able to ask him about it.
Sticky Notes:
Snow > Owen: "He may have lost himself a long time ago" it seems... (2)
White > Owen: "He does not have bonds with anyone, which makes him frightening" apparently
Mithra > Owen: "He's always smiling, so it is easy to talk to him" he said
Bradley > Owen: "Gross. Talkin' to him doesn't work" is what he said
Bradley -
General Section:
Height: 182 cm
Birthday: December 13
Magical Item: Rifle
Specialty: Fighting
Something he likes/likes doing: Good food
Something he hates/hates doing: Vegetables
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Stealing by force
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Self-restraint
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When he sneezes, he gets immediately teleported to a distant place
Akira's Notes:
Riquet and Mitile were chasing Bradley. Apparently, Nero had asked them to catch the person who was picking on the food, and all three of them looked like they were having a lot of fun.
Apparently, Bradley was forced to make a promise that entails, "I will serve my sentence as a prisoner until my prison sentence is finished." Since he doesn't want to lose his magic, he has no choice but to obey the promise. So that's why he can't break free...
There was once a person who was like a partner to Bradley. It seems like he really trusted them, but I wonder if that person betrayed him...?
I encountered Bradley and Nero taking a break. Even though Nero tried waking him up, Bradley stayed asleep, so I was careless and peered over to get a glimpse of his sleeping face. All of a sudden, there was the mouth of a gun pointing at me, which really scared me.
Sticky Notes:
Snow > Bradley: "We had him become an 'evil wizard'" is what he said
White > Bradley: "Talking to him can be effective, which is seldom seen in Northern wizards" apparently
Mithra > Bradley: "He speaks so fast that I do not know what he's saying" it seems
Owen > Bradley: "You're younger than me and weaker than me, so do what I tell you to" he said
Eastern Country
Faust -
General Section:
Height: 174 cm
Birthday: January 13
Magical Item: Mirror
Specialty: Cursing techniques
Something he likes/likes doing: His room
Something he hates/hates doing: The Central Country
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Cursing someone/something
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Those who are weak
Wound from the "Great Calamity": The dreams that he has overflow
Akira's Notes:
Faust and Figaro were creating questions for their written examinations. They got pretty into bragging about their students, so I think these two might be surprisingly compatible, actually...
Faust has previously danced at a party held with his comrades around a bonfire. That was a surprise... According to Lennox, Faust, who has beautiful standing posture, is very good at dancing as well.
Faust and Alec are childhood friends. Apparently, Faust was always getting angry at Alec, who was pretty reckless. However, the Faust in Alec's painting wore a very gentle expression.
Faust was having Oz help him with creating the materials he was going to use in the Eastern Country's lesson. Even though people call them a demon king and a maledictor, they're both oddly serious, aren't they...
Sticky Notes:
Shino > Faust: "He's doing a good job. I'm having him teach me about magic" he said
Heathcliff > Faust: "He says that he's a maledictor, but he's a wonderful person" it seems
Nero > Faust: "Since we both don't interfere with each other, 's easy to be with 'im" apparently
Shino -
General Section:
Height: 168 cm
Birthday: April 14
Magical Item: Scythe
Specialty: Making traps
Something he likes/likes doing: Being praised
Something he hates/hates doing: Self-restraint
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Providing for himself
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Reading the room
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
Shino was performing maintenance on the forest. So that Mitile and Riquet didn't injure themselves, he was cutting off stretching tree roots, stomping down branches, and making the path in the forest nicer. Shino's so reliable.
It seems like Shino had Faust read the stars, letting him find out when his own birthday is. Up until then, Shino's birthday was celebrated on the same day as Heath's, according to Shino's own request.
To Shino, Heath is his first friend. It seems like Heath even engraved the design on Shino's magical item, his scythe. Childhood friends are so nice.
Shino and Heath were practicing their control over their magic by making sugar. When Shino got all worked up and said, "I'm gonna make some sugar that's prettier than Heath's," he was kind of cute...
Sticky Notes:
Faust > Shino: "He has true ability, but he's so imprudent" it seems
Heathcliff > Shino: "I want to be friends who are equals. I don't want you to act so rashly" he said
Nero > Shino: "Think whoever wants to be with Shino's gonna have a hard time" is what he said
Heathcliff -

Magical Item: Pocket watch
Specialty: Inventing
Something he likes/likes doing: Fiddling with machines
Something he hates/hates doing: Dangerous things
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Minding his manners
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Unsanitary places
Wound from the "Great Calamity": When he feels a strong sense of fear, he turns into a black panther
Akira's Notes:
When Murr gave him a tabletop astronomic clock that he found at the flea market, Heath was uncharacteristically excited. It seems like it was something that was pretty valuable. It's nice that he was really happy to receive it.
Heath was talking to me about how, if everyone was able to live more easily through the development of machines, then maybe the prejudice against wizards will slowly begin to disappear. What a wonderful way of thinking...
Apparently, Heath found out that his mentor, who he thought was a renowned wizard, wasn't actually strong when he came to the Magic Manor. Also, it seems that it was Shylock's recommendation that he study under Faust.
I taught Heath about roasted sweet potatoes. He said, "Maybe I'll give some to Shino," so I wonder if he liked them... The next time I clean the courtyard, I might be able to see the Eastern wizards roasting sweet potatoes together.
Sticky Notes:
Faust > Heathcliff: "I'm not the kind of person that you should respect" is what he said
Shino > Heathcliff: "You're my lord that I'm proud of, so you should stand out more" it seems
Nero > Heathcliff: "He's a kind kid, so I hope he doesn't get hurt" is what he told me
Nero -
General Section:
Height: 178 cm
Birthday: September 8
Magical Item: Cutlery
Specialty: Homemade cooking that's pretty elaborate
Something he likes/likes doing: Days off
Something he hates/hates doing: Attending to customers
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Cooking
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Getting attached
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
When I was in a pinch because the door wouldn't open, Nero used magic to wrench the lock open. He was so skilled with his hands that he was almost like a professional lock-picker, and I was really impressed by him...
Up until now, the thing that has left the deepest impression on Nero is when he realized that someone who he thought was an idiot wasn't actually an idiot. He's always so friendly and easy to talk to, but when it comes to talking about himself, it's like he surrounds himself in a smokescreen...
Nero was born in the North, but after he wandered around the world, he settled down in Eastern lands. While he did feel lonely because of the temperment of the Eastern Country where they're apathetic to others, it seems like it also fit his personality.
Nero was hunting down a rat in the kitchen. It seems like the cause of it being there was Bradley's leftover food. When Nero said, "Yer fuckin' dead meat," in his anger, I wonder if his target was the rat, or if his target was...
Sticky Notes:
Faust > Nero: "He's reliable. I think he's better suited for a teaching role than I am" apparently
Shino > Nero: "He makes good food" is what he said
Heathcliff > Nero: "I feel like our personalities are similar. He's kind, and also really mature" he said
Western Country
Shylock -

Birthday: October 14
Magical Item: Pipe
Specialty: Brewing
Something he likes/likes doing: Unpredictable things/people
Something he hates/hates doing: Vulgar things
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Troublesome things
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Not being able to enjoy unpredictable things
Wound from the "Great Calamity": His heart is periodically set ablaze and causes him pain
Akira's Notes:
Shylock prepared a special cocktail for me. It was really shocking when Shylock told that lie that it was a cocktail that used nectar from a poisonous flower... It was so realistic that I couldn't even tell that he was lying.
In the past, Shylock smoked tobacco, but because of a tobacco control movement some centuries ago, he changed to something that isn't tobacco. So tobacco control movements happen in this world too, though that's not too surprising...
On the day Shylock and Murr met, they apparently conversed passionately until dawn, but they ended up parting after getting into an argument. I think it's really wonderful that these two unique personalities are able to be friends.
Shylock was reading in the common room. At his side, Murr was curled up like a cat and sleeping. Was the reason why Shylock chose to read his book there because...
Sticky Notes:
Murr > Shylock: "The owner of my favorite bar, and a special friend" it seems
Chloe > Shylock: "He's mature, but also cute sometimes!" is what he said
Rustica > Shylock: "We have a relationship where we can both spend a satisfying time with each other for a long period" he said
Murr -
General Section:

Magical Item: Ring
Specialty: Card games and chess
Something he likes/likes doing: The "Great Calamity"
Something he hates/hates doing: Boredom
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Appraising jewels
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Staying still
Wound from the "Great Calamity": Fragments of his soul generate substantial forms
Akira's Notes:
Murr, who was playing hide-and-seek, brought me with him and invaded Oz's room without permission. I had no idea what was going to happen when Murr started to doze off in front of the fireplace...
Apparently, when the past Murr winks, it means, "Let it slide, okay?" Shylock had quite a few complaints about the past Murr, but he kind of looked like he was enjoying himself...
Murr's soul is such a captivating yet terrible person. I was angry that he tricked me, but in the end, I ended up forgiving him. Because, after all, we're friends who both understand exploration.
Murr, who was helping out at Shylock's bar, made a really pretty cocktail. That being said, Shylock's a really good boss, making sure to give people breaks if they work for him...
Sticky Notes:
Shylock > Murr: "An old friend. A delightfully loathsome person" is what he said (3)
Chloe > Murr: "He's like a fickle kitty" is what he told me
Rustica > Murr: "An extraodinary philosopher, whose actions are all philosophical" is how he described him as a person

Something he hates/hates doing: Being alone
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Sewing
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Angered voices
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Note:
Chloe and Murr were playing tag. Apparently, it was a very serious game of tag that Murr had been the one to suggest. Chloe was surprisingly really into it and told me, "I'll make sure to live until the very end. So that we can definitely meet again...!"
Apparently, up until they were chosen as Sage's wizards, Chloe and Rustica were traveling around the world. I thought that they might be bored with life in the Magic Manor after an experience like that, but it seems like they're having a fun time.
Rustica and Chloe's first meeting ended with Rustica mistaking Chloe, who was shut away in the sewing room, for his bride and stealing him away. Chloe told me that as he spent time with Rustica, he started to like himself bit by bit.
Chloe showed me the results of his practice with drinking alcohol in a mature manner. But immediately afterward, when Shylock appeared, he started to panic really hard. Maybe his model for "maturity" is Shylock?
Sticky Notes:
Shylock > Chloe: "A cute young wizard" is what he said
Murr > Chloe: "He gives me lots of clothes to wear!" he said
Rustica > Chloe: "A precious friend that I traveled with" is what he told me about him
Rustica -

Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Proposing
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Chores
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
It seems like Rustica sometimes chats with the little birds who live in the trees. And apparently, he also talks to them about the Sage...
Rustica's hobby is collecting works of art, and he told me that the art and tableware in his room are things he's collected as well. The painting of the lady sometimes sings together with Rustica's harpsichord!
Though Rustica is searching for his bride that has gone missing, it seems like he's forgotten her name and her distinctive features. Even so, they're fated lovers, so he believes that he'll definitely meet her again sometime.
Rustica shared his souvenir with me, which were some steamed buns. Apparently, they were "Oz-Style Steamed Buns" which were patterned with the visage of the legendary Oz. I think Rustica's a very kind person for not keeping something that he likes all to himself. (5)
Sticky Notes:
Shylock > Rustica: "A gentlemanly and amusing friend who cannot be dealt with by ordinary means" apparently
Murr > Rustica: "I might've met him before?" is what he said, but...
Chloe > Rustica: "My beloved mentor and a beloved friend" is what he said

Akira's Notes:
Figaro was being lectured by Snow and White. It seems like Figaro had made a brutal suggestion, so the two of them were preaching to him about morals. I'm curious what that was all about...
Before he met Snow and White, Figaro lived at the cold seaside, apparently. He told me that it was a place that he liked.
It seems that Figaro's job is to drink warm tea with the Sage in his room on nights when the moon is bright and beautiful.
Figaro received letters of gratitude from Mitile, Rutile, and Lennox. He hid his embarrassment by talking about how he was going to drink tonight as celebration, but he really did seem happy.
Sticky Notes:
Rutile > Figaro: "A wonderful teacher who's also very reliable" is what he said
Lennox > Figaro: "A great person who also has some troubling sides" he said

Akira's Notes:
At the dining hall, Rutile drank the strong alcohol that Figaro had recommended to me so that I didn't have to, but the color of his face didn't change at all. It seems like he's surprisingly good at holding his drink.
Apparently, Rutile's dream is to make a picture book where humans and wizards live together in peace, and to have that book be known across the whole world. What a wonderful idea. It seems like Arthur, who likes books, is rooting for him to fulfill his dream as well.
According to him, Rutile gave half of his magic to Mitile when he was just born, in order to save his life. However, it seems like he has no regrets regarding that, and he happily told me about the joy of being able to be with Mitile.
Rutile and Chloe had a big cloth spread out. Apparently, Chloe was going to tailor an outfit out of the cloth that Rutile would paint on. They told me that I would be the first to see it after they completed it!
Sticky Notes:
Figaro > Rutile: "I'm glad he grew up to be someone who's well put together and kind" he said
Lennox > Rutile: "A smart and beautiful child who inherited his parents' good traits" it seems
Mitile > Rutile: "My older brother who I love and am very proud of" is what he said
Lennox -
General Section:
Height: 190 cm
Birthday: May 16
Magical Item: Key
Specialty: Martial arts
Something he likes/likes doing: Nature
Something he hates/hates doing: Insults
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Waiting
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Speaking a lot
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
Rutile and Mitile were dangling off of Lennox's arms and having a lot of fun. Apparently, to Lennox, both of them are still just two cute kids.
It seems like Lennox would take sheep out to pasture back when he was in the Southern Country. During the summer he would be in the mountains, and when it came time for winter, he would come down to the foot of the mountains. He once had a herding dog, but now he looks after them with magic, he said.
Lennox was born in a coal mine during times of war. Perhaps it's exactly because Lennox has lived such an intense life, like the insurrection of the coal mine and the battle to found a nation, that he is such a calm and kind person.
Lennox was helping Oz repair his room after the sun had set. Since Lennox is also more of the taciturn type, it might be easy for Oz to rely on him when he runs into a problem.
Sticky Notes:
Figaro > Lennox: "My former disciple's subordinate, and someone I recommended to become a shepherd" apparently
Rutile > Lennox: "A kind and reliable person who's always on point" it seems
Mitile > Lennox: "Really reliable and cool!" is what he said
Mitile -
General Section:
Height: 162 cm
Birthday: December 15
Magical Item: Medicine bottle
Specialty: Making medicine
Something he likes/likes doing: His hometown
Something he hates/hates doing: Evil wizards
Something he's comfortable with/good at doing: Studying, working hard
Something he isn't comfortable with/isn't good at doing: Physical magic
Wound from the "Great Calamity": None
Akira's Notes:
I was wondering why Mitile was covered in mud when he told me that he got into a fight with Mithra and this was his payback from him. These two might be on the same level in arguing...
It seems like Mitile is frustrated and worried about not being able to use his magic well. Bradley said that Figaro has no intention of making Mitile strong, but...
Mitile's specialty is making magical medicine. He's still studying, but because he's the second son to his family, it seems like he's making sure to think about his future. It looks like right now, he's thinking that he wants to make himself useful to a village that doesn't have any other wizards.
Rutile and Nero secretly followed after Mitile and Riquet, who were running errands at the Central market. It looks like they were concerned about the two of them after all.
Sticky Notes:
Figaro > Mitile: "My cute student who I'm teaching magic to" he said
Rutile > Mitile: "My beloved, adorable little brother" is what he told me
Lennox > Mitile: "A good child who has a lot of motivation. I can't help but keep an eye on him in various ways" apparently
Notes:
1: Oz > Arthur's sticky note actually would read like "'the first I opened my heart to' person, apparently" which clearly makes no sense in English, so I moved the "person" into Oz's statement for ease of reading and my own sanity's sake
2: Snow > Owen's sticky note means what it says, but as clarification just in case, Snow is suggesting that Owen lost his mind somewhere in the distant past already, hence Akira's hesitance at the end as they trail off
3: Some of you may be aware of this, but the word Shylock often uses in Japanese to describe Murr is double-sided. It can both mean "detestable" and "so detestable it's wonderful" so I took the liberty of just using "delightfully loathsome" as the translation so you can get a taste of both worlds in English as well
4: No you did not read that wrong. Rustica likes to spend his time... enjoying time. I believe this is mentioned in his activation line for his Concerto card as well
5: "Oz-Style Steamed Buns" I was originally just going to put it as "Oz Steamed Buns" or "Steamed Oz Buns" or something equally... inappropriate but figured I should translate it into something more... suitable.
6: This isn't a translation note, but if you saw the cut of this post on my blog before I fixed it, I apologize for the mistake I made in formatting, but it should be fixed now. I tried making it easier to read if I could, but I ended up making a mistake in formatting because of that T_T I hope it isn't too difficult to read, but if it's too hard to read, please let me know!
