## Transcript

### Story Chat 1

Magda: I think we entered that world.

Kelly: Could this have to do with a magic spell of some sort?

Magda: It's possible. I'll go ask a mage.

Kelly: Don't forget to bring this with you! It's so heavy!

Servant: Let me help you, My Lady.

Magda: (I should also check on Miss Coco...)

### Story Chat 2

Magda: (She wouldn't be here at this hour, but I'll go take a look.)

Magda: Hello?

Coco: Lady Ellenstein? I'm here in the back!

—

Magda: Are you making bombs?

Coco: I owed that lady one hundred coins... I need to make a lot of bombs.

Magda: She's not in Finsel, right?

Coco: But if I don't pay her back, I won't be able to make bombs!

Magda: That is a problem... I'm going to ask Sir Xavier on what to do.

Magda: (Let's visit the Spiral Spire.)

### Story Chat 3

Magda: Is Sir Xavier here?

Mage Apprentice: He's out doing business today. You should try again later.

Magda: Ah, I wanted to ask about something strange that's been happening.

Magda Apprentice: What is it? Did your jewellery disappear? The kitchen is short on bread? You should talk to the Guardsmen.

Magda: (So those are the types of excuses noblewomen make to see Sir Xavier.)

Magda: I'm here because of this book. I'm able to visit a different world.

Magda: My friends are also able to enter even if they haven't read it.

Mage Apprentice: Can you show me it?

Magda: Here.

Mage Apprentice: It's so heavy! I feel bad for your servant.

Mage Apprentice: Oh, I can sense the book is filled with mana... But it's faint.

Mage Apprentice: Let's see.

Magda: Read for ten minutes and you'll enter that place.

Mage Apprentice: Well, take a seat and wait.

Mage Apprentice: ...

Magda: (He looks very serious.)

(Half an hour passes.)

Magda: (He's still reading...)

Magda: Well?

Mage Apprentice: I don't feel like I went somewhere or was about to go somewhere.

Magda: Huh?

Mage Apprentice: There's some sort of spell attached to this book, but it's preventing me from entering.

Magda: Are you saying it's all in my imagination?

Mage Apprentice: Maybe. Right now I don't think the spell is dangerous. You shouldn't enter the world carelessly.

Magda: But one of my friends made a promise to an elderberry tree inside. I'm worried she'll be punished.

Mage Apprentice: In that case... It's possible breaking the promise will do something.

Mage Apprentice: The next time you enter the world, try to see how long it takes for you to return to Finsel.

Mage Apprentice: This spell will affect anyone who touches it. It's best to have someone nearby and have him go here if something happens.

Magda: I see. Thank you for your advice.

Mage Apprentice: Let me put a wind spell on this book. It'll be much lighter.

Servant: Thank you very much!

### Story Chat 4

Magda: That's what happened. I plan to enter the world again with Miss Coco tomorrow morning. Will you join us?

Kelly: It seems to be a good source of gossip... Sure!

Magda: Miss Vivian, have a pocketwatch prepared by tomorrow morning.

Maid: Isn't this dangerous?

Magda: My friend might get hurt.

Magda: I also trust you. If anything happens, go to the Spiral Spire.

Maid: Alright, My Lady.
