chapter one
[Wizards’ Manor, first storey—Corridor]
Murr: Rustica! What are you doing around here? Having a walk? Exploring?
Rustica: Good day, Murr. In fact, I was heading to the lounge to retrieve something I forgot, but I got lost.
Murr: Lost?
Rustica: Indeed. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I am still getting used to this place.
The Manor is quite vast; I may need some more time to find my way from every room.
Murr: Got it! Then I’ll just have to show you around!
Rustica: Are you sure? In that case, I shall rely on your guidance.
[Wizards’ Manor—Courtyard]
Murr: Over here!
Rustica: I’m coming right away.
Oh my, would you look at this flower: its blossom is simply gorgeous. I wonder what name it could bear.
Murr: Rustica! We'll stop by later. For now, just follow me!
Next, we'll turn this corner! Full speed ahead!
[Wizards’ Manor—Classroom]
Murr: We'll sharp cut to this corner next! Screeech!
Rustica: This is where we regularly have our magic lessons. Is this perhaps a shortcut to the lounge?
Murr: Nope! It’s the long way around!
I thought it’d be fun to go around the manor with you and check the different rooms, so we had to stop by!
Rustica: That is more than understandable. A promenade in your company sounds lovely, I cannot refuse such a tempting offer.
…Dear me, why was I heading to the lounge again?
Murr: Who knows! Let’s just go for it!
[Wizards’ Manor—Lounge]
Murr: Last stop, Lounge Station!
Rustica: Thank you for the tour, you have been of great help.
Hm? This book… Ah, yes, I remember now: I needed to retrieve one of my forgotten belongings.
Murr: Yep! You mentioned something along those lines earlier! Tell me, tell me—are you mad that I didn’t bring you straight here? Or hurt?
Rustica: Not at all, I had a pleasant journey by your side, and I got to familiarise myself better with the manor. I cannot thank you enough for your help.
Murr: You’re welcome! In exchange for playing with me, I'm going to take you to a very special place!

chapter two
[Wizards’ Manor, first storey—Corridor]
Murr: Here we are!
Rustica: This is the Manor’s rooftop… Is this the special place you were mentioning earlier?
Murr: Yup! The moon is even prettier from here!
Rustica: Undoubtedly, we can gaze at it from much closer here than indoors.
It seems that you truly cherish the Great Calamity, Murr.
Murr: Yes, I am terribly in love with it.
Ah, my beloved Calamity, you are just as stunning as ever.
What about you, Rustica? Are you in love like I am? Do you long for something with all your body and soul?
Rustica: Yes, I do. I am in love with my bride, now and forever.
Murr: Then we're the same. We both have one and only love!
Rustica: One and only... Indeed, we do seem to be alike.
Murr: We match, and we’re on the same roof! What fun! It makes my heart pound!
Rustica: Fufu, so is mine. Now that you have brought me to your favourite place, I would like to return the favour.
Murr: Favour?
Rustica: Yes, for guiding me around the manor and inviting me in the confine secret of this place.
< Amores Viesse >
Murr: Wow! A violin!
Rustica: On this night, I would like to offer a song to you and your treasured moon.
May this melody, weaved from the bottom of my heart, help you close the distance and feel the presence of your beloved, even for a brief moment.
ーA song, just for the two of you.

episode story
“Favourite Spots”
[Wizard’s Manor—Lounge]
Akira: Have you gotten used to the manor yet, Rustica?
Rustica: I have, yes, thanks to everybody’s help. Wonderful happenings occur every day; it is most delightful to live here.
Just the other day, I was on my way to the courtyard and somehow found myself in Chloe's room. A rather odd chain of events, but amusing nonetheless.
Akira: (So he basically got lost...?)
Anyway, um... Do you have any favourite places here?
Rustica: Let’s see... I like the courtyard, where I can perform at ease, and this room, from where everyone’s cheerful voices can be heard from far and beyond.
However, these past few days... I have come to appreciate the marvellous view from the rooftop that Murr so kindly took me to.
Akira: I remember Murr talking about it every now and then...
Rustica: I can understand his excitement. I feel like the melody carries far beyond what the eye can see when I play up there.
Akira: That sounds wonderful!
Rustica: Doesn’t it? I can take you there next time if you so wish, Master Sage.
Akira: Are you sure? Shouldn’t we have a word with Murr beforehand?
Rustica: Perhaps. When you do, the three of us shall go together.
I am persuaded that you will enjoy this moment the same way as we did.
Akira: Thank you very much, I already can’t wait!
