The Legend of the Blood Pledge Castle[edit]
FX: *door opens, footsteps*
Conrad: Ah, what a nice moon! Yuuri, look.
Yuuri: Eh? Ah, you're right. We'll have good weather tomorrow, won't we? Ah, I'm really looking forward to it. Now we can only wait for the big event.
Conrad: It's good to be happy about it, but is it really okay for you to stay up?
Yuuri: Yeah, well actually, it's a physical response, since I'm so excited I can't fall asleep. That happens a lot.
Conrad: You mean, it's like not being able to sleep at all, the night before going off to camp?
Yuuri: Japanese high-school students are really difficult to understand, huh? But that's not how I feel, it's more like my heart's beating fast due to the excitement.
Conrad: Then it's like that. Like not being able to sleep the night before going on a DATE with a girl you really like?
Yuuri: Unlike you, who have experience in these things, Conrad-san, unfortunately I have never felt that thrill in my life.
Conrad: Is that so? Then I was rude...
Yuuri: Tch! Hhhhha... look, look! I can see my breath! Ah, the wind outside is actually, really cold, huh?
Conrad: Ah, since you're wearing those light pajamas, you might catch a cold. Shouldn't you put something on?
Yuuri: It's not like you're wearing warm clothes either. Aren't you cold?
Conrad: Soldiers' training make them different.
Yuuri: Ehhhh...? Are you sure you don't want to say "My HEART is always burning passionately so I don't feel cold" ?
Conrad: No matter what, I'd never say such an embarrassing thing.
Yuuri: Right? *laughs* Ah... this feeling... I wonder what it's called. The day before a school festival is always the most enjoyable one. Like, when you get permission to spend the night at school to help out while everyone's being really loud getting everything ready. Tomorrow might be the beginning of the festival, but right now I feel like it's such a shame (I can't enjoy this moment a little longer)...
Conrad: Mhm...
Yuuri: Like right before something starts, the moment before an explosion, that thrill... I keep thinking it would be great if this moment could last forever. Do you know what I mean?
Conrad: I do, Yuuri. I feel the same way.
Yuuri: Really? Ehe... That makes me happy. Josak went to see Gwendal, Wolfram and Sara are sound asleep, Murata went back to the Shinou's Mausoleum, so you know? I was kinda sad that I was the only one fired up.
Conrad: Then it was good luck for me to have shown up at the right time to stay with you, right?
Yuuri: Yeah... But I'd be happier if everyone else would be here sharing this with me...
Conrad: No, I think that would be a problem...
Yuuri: Eh? Why?
Conrad: The Blood Pledged Castle was built on a land governed by really strong spirits and they easily sympathize with the lord's... in other words, the Maou's wish.
Yuuri: Ah... I have a feeling that Günter taught me that at some point.
Conrad: That's why they say that if everyone who possesses maryoku and works for the maou were to wish the same thing as him, something would break in the castle and a serious situation might take place...
Yuuri: A serious situation?
Conrad: For example, if it wasn't just you, if all the mazoku in the castle would wish right now that this moment could last forever with you...
Yuuri: Uh-huh...
Conrad: Then tomorrow, people would wake up, and start getting everything ready for the festival , and then on the following morning instead of it being the day of the festival, it would be the day prior to the festival again. And the same thing would happen the next day and the day after that. Just like a broken record, the same day would take place over and over again.
Yuuri: Uwah~! What kind of ENDLESS hell is that? Is what you're saying true?
Conrad: I don't know whether it's true or not. It's probably just an old legend .
Yuuri: But you know? If it was true, then everyone would just wake up every morning thinking it was the first time, right? In that case, nobody would ever notice the phenomenon, right?
Conrad: I guess so.
Yuuri: Wah... What can we do if we are trapped right now in that ENDLESS loop?
Conrad:*chuckles* Something like that... Ah! I know... I have a way to fix it...
Yuuri: What is it?
Conrad: Today, I , who possess no maryoku, will be the only one allowed to share this with you.
Yuuri: Ah! I get it~! Wait! Would that method really work?
Conrad: Probably...
Yuuri: That's kind of a hit‐or‐miss approach, don't you think? *sneezes*
Conrad: Ah, the night wind is really very cold... C'mon, let's go back inside.
Yuuri: Yeah, ah *shivers*... it's cold.
Conrad: Since you will be very busy tomorrow morning, it would be best for you to go to sleep.
Yuuri: Yeah, I'll do that.
