Hello and Welcome!
This is primarily an art and translations blog. Mostly Helios Rising Heroes, but that may change in the future. I also draw spoilers an awful lot, please mute (#helios spoiler) if you want to filter that out. For more of my rambled thoughs and reblogs, head on over to @marion-blythe

Helios Rising Heroes - NIGHTNORTH
First Storm Victor Valentine Card Story
[door slams]
Victor: —Hm?
Ren: …..!
Victor: You’re still up, Ren.
Victor: The sun is going to rise soon….You can’t sleep again?
Ren: …..I was just about to.
[Ren walks off]
Victor: ………..
Victor: (Every time I come back late at night, he’s always here. Is he like that every night?)
Victor: (I know I’m one to talk, but that lack of sleep is starting to affect his overall health…..)
Victor: (Guess I can’t take my eyes off of Ren, too—)
----------------------------------------------------
[Vic enters his room]
Victor: —Huh, this again…….
Marion: ……!
Victor: So you’re up too, Marion.
Marion: What do you mean by “too?” Don’t lump me in with you.
Victor: That’s not what I meant, though….
[Victor changes out of his lab coat]
Victor: Is something wrong? You’re usually asleep by this time.
Marion: Same as ever….stop acting like you know everything….
Marion: ……He still hasn’t come back.
Victor: You mean Gast?
Marion: Yeah.
Victor: So you were worried and subsequently unable to sleep…..?
[more changing noises]
Marion: N-no way! That’s not……
Marion: You were the one! who told me to keep an eye on him!
Victor: Yes….So that’s why you dutifully stayed up and waited for him to come back?
Marion: ……Ugh, you really are so…….
Victor: Apologies for that.
Marion: ….Huh?
Victor: That was careless on my part. Had I given any thought before requesting you to do that, I should have been able to predict this scenario.
Victor: Feel free to retire for the night. I’ll stay up a little longer to wait for him.
Marion: You…is this your way of trying to be considerate?
Victor: ?
Marion: Stop doing gross things!
Victor: Being considerate, huh…. That wasn’t my intention, but perhaps it was a factor…….
Victor: —No, I don’t think so.
Victor: Rather than being considerate, it might….be more accurate to say I was treating you like a child.
Marion: !?
Victor: If you were my age—a peer like Nova, for example, I don’t think I would have said it the way I did.
Victor: I simply felt that it wasn’t right to force you, who is younger and less experienced than me, to do something too far out of your comfort zone.
Marion: Y-you……
Marion: I accept that I’m younger than you. But I will not accept being called inexperienced—
Victor: That I understand.
Marion: ……?
Victor: I disliked being treated that way, so I understand how you feel.
Victor: You don’t like being treated like a child, right?
Marion: …..Y-yeah. I don’t just dislike it, I really hate it.
Victor: As I suspected…..
Victor: I’ve made a number of mistakes in my responses. Pardon me.
Marion: Wh-what is that? You’re acting weirder than usual today…..
Victor: There is one more thing I know.
Victor: You don’t like being treated like a child, but if it’s by Nova’s hand, you accept it easily, right?
Marion: ……!
Victor: When you’re vulnerable……..no, see, if you’re tired, please go to Nova.
Victor: If it’s him, he’ll always welcome you with open arms.
Marion: ……….
Victor: I tried to say things that would appease you, but did something there bother you?
Marion: ……Not really.
Marion: Hmph….I’d do that without you telling me to.
Victor: Is that so…
[Marion tucks in]
Victor: Are you going to bed? Then, I’ll turn off the lights.
[Room light dims]
Marion: …..Victor.
Victor: Yes?
Marion: I’m leaving him to you….for today….
Marion: Tomorrow, again…. I’ll be the one to look after……
Victor: ……….
Victor: (.....I can hear his breathing. Seems he’s already fallen asleep.)
Victor: Fufu, sweet dreams.
----------------------------------------------------
???: —....tor? Hey, wake up.
Victor: …Mmhm….
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: Ooh, that’s good. You woke up.
Victor: Gast….
Gast: What are you doing? If you sleep here, you’ll catch a cold.
Victor: Oh… Did I fall asleep….
Gast: D’ya doze off? That’s weird...were you tired?
Victor: ….I suppose.
Gast: ……..
Victor: Did you just get back? It’s awfully late—
Gast: Sorry.
Victor: ?
Gast: Sorry, Doctor.
Victor: What are you apologizing for? If it’s for what I just said, I don’t have reason to blame you….
Gast: I see….Well then, don’t worry about it.
Gast: Get to bed and sleep properly. The sun’s already rising……
Gast: I’ll get going. G’night, Doctor.
Victor: ……Good night, Gast.

Helios Rising Heroes - To See You
The Eclipse (Pt.1) Marion Blythe Card Story
Gast: ——Oh? Are those Doctor’s glasses?
Marion: Yeah, they are.
Gast: Is it alright to just leave them there?
Marion: He might be in the middle of maintenance? I’m pretty sure he used to do it everyday without fail.
Gast: Where’d he go without his glasses? Won’t he struggle without them?
[Victor walks in]
Marion: Nah, that’s not an issue. They aren't prescription lenses*.
Gast: Eh!? This whole time!?
Victor: What seems to be the matter?
Gast: T-that might be the most surprised I’ve been in a while……
Victor: ?
Marion: Is it alright for you to just leave your glasses here? Wouldn’t it be bad if you lost them?
Victor: Not a problem. Of course, I don’t intend to lose them, but I have installed a GPS into the frame in case the situation does arise.
Gast: A GPS!? In glasses!?
Victor: That aside, Marion. The anniversary of Oswald’s death is approaching again. Are you doing anything this year?
Marion: I suppose so….Could we put those plans on hold for a little longer? Ren’s going through a difficult time right now.
Victor: You say that, though, I’m in a similar situation.
Marion: You wouldn’t miss Oswald’s death anniversary for the world, right?
Marion: I’ll watch over the team, so you can go.
Victor: Is that so? Thank you very much.
Gast: Do you guys all meet up every year for Professor Oswald’s anniversary?
Victor: By, “you guys”, you mean….?
Gast: Aaah, uh, Professor Nova, and Jack and Jacqueline….?
Victor: Essentially, yes. Although, I’m considering inviting Cathy to join us this year.
Gast: I see. She was also around Oswald a lot huh. I know Professor Nova’s left a stronger impression, but he was also like a father to you right, Marion?
Marion: Well, in the sense of being my creator**, yes.
Marion: Of course I do have memories of him, but we didn’t spend much time together. I personally think Nova’s had a much stronger influence on me.
Victor: In fact, it was Nova who looked after Marion as a child, though I also helped out sometimes.
Victor: Oswald was busier back then than Nova is now, and he was bedridden with illness in his later years.
Marion: I don’t remember you taking care of me.
Victor: What you think of my contributions is none of my concern, but please don’t forget Oswald’s.
Victor: He didn’t have much time, but it’s true he was always thinking about you.
Marion: Like I said, I do remember him.
Gast: What kind of memories did you have of Professor Oswald?
Marion: Hmm… Looking back, I may have more memories of spending time with him outside of the lab.
Gast: Really? What kinda places did you go to?
Marion: Yes, Though they were all close by, we went to parks and botanical gardens, he taught me about flowers and plants, and also took me to the zoo.
Victor: Oswald’s main expertise lay in Substance Engineering, but he was also a respected figure in biology.
Victor: He grew up in an area surrounded by a lot of nature, so he was knowledgeable on plants and living things, and he taught us a lot about them in turn.
Gast: Huuh~, seems like it’d be nice to have an adult like that around.
Marion: Well….he’d suddenly appear and take me outside, so I remember always being a little nervous around him.
Victor: On a side note, he’d take you out without telling anyone, which caused a commotion quite a few times.
Gast: Ah, haha…. I guess so-called geniuses like that all have a carefree side to them huh.
Victor: By the way, Gast. When was Colonel Adler scheduled to leave the tower?
Gast: Aah, it was supposed to be tonight. The police are probably picking him up right around now?
Victor: Are you alright with not seeing him off?
Gast: A—....In my case, I don’t really care either way. Though Hannah said she’d see him off.
Gast: I still don’t know what kind of face I should make when I see him, and we’re not that close anyways.
Victor: I see.
Marion: Wasn’t there a time when your relationship was better?
Gast: Eh….
Marion: When you were a kid, you said you went on family vacations every year, right?***
Marion: I don’t know what those trips were like ….but were there moments where it was fun?
Gast: That’s…..
Gast: I guess. Most of the memories of those family vacations were fun.
Marion: ….So wouldn’t it be better to see him off then?
Victor: It won’t be a final farewell by any means, but it will be much harder to see him again from hereon out.
Gast: Hannah seemed like she wanted me to come with her….I guess I’ll just accompany her.
Marion & Victor: …….
Gast: I think I have just enough time if I hurry. I’ll head off.
Marion: Yeah, go ahead.
[Gast runs off]
Victor: I hope he makes it on time.
Marion: ….I suppose I should also make time for it.
Victor: What are you referring to?
Marion: I should visit Oswald properly this year too.
Marion: I only have a few memories of our time together, but I’m sure it was fun…. And every view Oswald showed me was fresh and beautiful.
Victor: I see.
Victor: This is just speculation, but I think Oswald may have wanted to leave you with as many of those things as possible.
Marion: ….I hope so.
Victor: Come to think of it, I don’t think we’ve had many opportunities to discuss Oswald.
Victor: If you’d like to know more, should I tell you?
Marion: Eh……
Victor [getting closer menacingly]: If you’re interested, it wouldn’t hurt to learn more—
Marion: ….T-that’s enough! I don’t want to know!
Marion: No, it’s not that I don’t want to learn….but I don’t want to hear it from you!
Victor: Maybe in a few years, this conversation will become a fond memory.
TL Notes:
1. *See the Halloween Event for where this is mentioned. You'll never guess why he wears them. 2. **He says 「生みの親」 here, which can mean "biological parent" or "creator", but I went with the latter because he calls Nova his foster parent, not his brother. And it's heavily implied in Gast's hero chronicle card story that they aren't related by blood in any way. 3. ***See the Waterfront Event for where he mentions this
Helios Rising Heroes - TRAUMA DAY
HERO CHRONICLE - Gast Adler Card Story
Gast: Hey Dad, what’s a soldier?
Harvey: They are stronger than anyone, a being everyone relies on. Study hard so you can acquire the skills you need to become stronger, too.
Harvey: So you can protect the things you need to protect, no matter what happens.
Gast: How’s that any different from a “Hero”? Isn’t that what they do too?
Harvey: .....They’re completely different. In resolve, and every other way.
Harvey: All they do is train themselves and do as is required of them....They only think about being praised by the world.
Harvey: Have pride as a soldier. You must never lose to those evil people, Gast.
Gast: I got it! I’ll become strong!
Gast: So I won’t lose to anyone, even heroes.....!
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: (.....Dad’s a liar.)
Gast: (Didn’t he become stronger to protect what he needed to protect?)
Cathy: I’m sorry...... I’m sorry, I’m sorry.......
Cathy: Please......I’m begging you, just let me go.......
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: (Mom....did you start hating Dad....?)
Gast: (For you to make that kind of expression.......)
Gast: (Soldiers....Dad.....none of them are strong at all—)
???: Hey, who are you?
Gast: !?
Marion: What are you doing here? Crouching like that....are you not feeling well?
Gast: [blushing]......
Marion: ? Can you not talk....?
Gast: I’m Gast! Gast Adler!
Marion: You spoke....So you’re feeling alright then?
Gast: Yeah I’m okay! Absolutely fine! Not hurt anywhere!
Marion: Weird....why were you crying?
Gast: I-I wasn’t crying! I don’t cry!
Marion: ........
Gast: S-sorry..... But I really wasn’t crying.
Marion: I got it, you’re a weirdo.
Gast: I came here to look for my mom.
Marion: Your mom? In this research institute?
Gast: Probably....she said she worked here, so I thought she might be here, but
Gast: I haven’t found her....and I can’t go any further inside.....
Marion: So that’s why you were crouching?
Gast: ......Yeah.
Marion: Adler, you said? Does your mom have the same name?
Gast: Yeah.....though maybe that’s changed, recently......
Marion: I haven’t heard that name before. I know everyone in this institute.
Gast: Really?
Marion: Yeah. But I've never seen someone named “Adler” here before.
Gast: .....I see.
Marion: ..........
Marion: Hey, come play with me.
Gast: Eh...
Marion: You don’t have anything else to do, right? Then come play with me.
Gast: S-sure, I guess....
Marion: ! Yay♪
Gast: .............
Marion: Then let’s play house first! I’ve only ever done it with Jack and Jacqueline, so I wanna try playing with someone else!
Gast: House, huh....what should I be?
Marion: What do you want?
Gast: I mean I'm a guy so, the dad...?
Marion: Do you wanna be the dad? If so that’s fine, though—
Gast: No, I don’t wanna be the dad.
Marion: ? Then do you wanna be something else?
Gast: Something else?
Marion: You can be the mom, the baby, a dog, or even a caterpillar!
Gast: A caterpillar!?
Marion: I wanna be a pancake shop owner today!
Gast: A...a pancake shop owner? A family like that doesn’t exist, y’know?
Gast: I mean, if I become a caterpillar, that makes a caterpillar and a pancake shop owner family. Isn’t that weird?
Marion: How so?
Gast: Eh.....
Marion: Nova told me there’s no set form for a family. Even if you’re not blood related, as long as you’re together, that makes you family.
Gast: ..........
Marion: So I'll be a pancake shop owner, and you’re alright with being a caterpillar?
Gast: Ah,, yeah!!
Gast: Eh!? Wait, give me a sec to think about the caterpillar thing!
----------------------------------------------------
[Several hours later]
Gast: .....I got slapped... it stings.
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: I love you!
Gast: I'll protect you for the rest of our lives! So....please marry me!
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: (Why did I get hit.....)
Gast: (Did I say something weird....?)
Gast: (Even though it’s true I love her and all I did was tell her that....even though we got along so well....)
Gast: (Girls are....scary......)
----------------------------------------------------
Harvey: So you can protect the things you need to protect, no matter what happens.
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: (Sigh...I really don’t get it anymore.)

Marion: Jack~ ♪
Marion: Come listen! I can play “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” without looking at the sheet now!
Jack: Amazing, that’s Marion for you. Please let me hear it soon.
Marion: Ehehe, I’ll play it for you ♪
Marion: Hey, Jack. As a reward for doing my best on the piano, let’s draw some pictures. Play with me.
Jack: Sorry….I just got a cleaning request from Nova….
Jack: He dropped some test tubes and broke them….if it’s not dealt with quickly, someone might get hurt.
Marion: Nova jeez….
Jack: Nova also seems busy, so….have you tried asking Victor?
Marion: I don’t want to draw with Victor. I mean, I don’t wanna play with him.
Jack: Oya, your attitude towards Victor has really changed lately. I’m sure Nova’s worried…..
Marion: B-but it’s Victor’s fault!
Jack: I heard about it too. He offered to play with you, but when you got there, he gave you an injection, right?
Marion: Yeah! He tricked me to give me an injection….the injection I hate the most in the world!
Marion: I’ll never forgive him! I won’t believe a word he says from now on!
Jack: Jack cannot defend that. Although injections are necessary, lying is not good.
Marion: Injections also suck!!
Jack: Please don’t raise your voice, Marion. You’ll cause another flare-up.
Marion: Hh!
Jack: I know. How about having Jacqueline play with you?
Marion: O-of course, I looked for her first. But I still don’t know where she is….
Jack: She said she was going for a walk and left, so she’s probably in the garden. You should look there.
Marion: I got it, I’ll go take a look…..
----------------------------------------------------
Marion: Jacqueline….Jacqueline, where are you?
Marion: (.....Not playing with Victor anymore means there’s less people to play with now huh)
Marion: (Nova’s busy with research and studies, and he’s tired after so he goes straight to sleep…..)
Marion: (Jack’s always putting work first, and Jacqueline is always lost….)
Marion: (And they said I can’t go out….how long will things be like this?)
Marion: …….
Marion: (No, there’s no way I’ll let this last. Because I’ll be a hero one day.)
Marion: (If I’m a hero, I can go out, and I’ll be able to meet lots more people…..I’ve got the whole wide word waiting for me out there, just like the movies.)
Marion: (Alright, I’ll look for Jacqueline! If I just think of this as hide and seek—)
???: Sigh……..
Marion: (Huh? ….Is someone there?)
Marion: Hey, who are you?
???: !?
----------------------------------------------------
Marion: —Alright, next let’s draw some pictures ♪
Gast: S-sure….though are you okay playing in a place like this?
Gast: I forgot to ask earlier, but why are you here? Isn’t this place the Helios Research Institute? Why’d you come here?
Marion: Why’d I come….I mean I live here.
Gast: Eh, you live here!?
Marion: Yup. With Nova and Jack and Jacqueline, and that stupid Victor…..we live in this institute.
Gast: I see….having an institute for a house is kinda cool huh.
Marion: You think so?
Gast: Ah…well I can’t really talk bad about it. I practically live in a military facility.
Marion: ? What’d you say?
Gast: No, nothing! You’re around the same age as me, right? What school do you go to?
Marion: School….I’ve never been.
Gast: Eh? Could it be that you can’t leave this place?
Marion: It’s not that I’ve never left. Sometimes, Nova brings me on outings.
Marion: …..Victor also. He used to bring me out bug hunting.
Marion: I didn’t need to go to school, so I just never went.
Gast: You “didn’t need to”? What do you mean?
Marion: Because I’m a unique and special existence.
Marion: I’m studying the same things you’d learn at a school. But level-wise I’m way ahead of kids my age.
Gast: Woah…..so you’re like a genius…..
Marion: Fufu, guess so.
Marion: Oh yeah, I’ll draw you a picture of Nova and the Jacks. My family. I’ll go grab my drawing materials, so wait here.
Gast: G-got it! I’ll wait!
----------------------------------------------------
[Several hours later]
Marion: —The sky’s gone pink.
Gast: You’re right. I didn’t even realize….it’ll get dark soon huh.
Marion: It’s almost time for dinner. If I don’t get back, Jack’ll get worried.
Gast: So, is this bye bye….
Marion: Can you come to play again tomorrow?
Gast: Eh? You want to play with me again….?
Marion: Of course! Playing with you, it was so much fun!
Gast: Ah!
Marion: If I ask Nova, maybe he’ll let us play in my room! Then I can play the piano for you—
Gast: I love you!
Marion: ……?
Gast: I'll protect you for the rest of our lives! So….please marry me!
Marion: Marry…..?
Marion: …..Protect?
Gast: Yeah! I’ll become strong for you so….so when we grow up, will you marry me!
Marion: Hh…..
----------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline: Marion-chama! Wait up, Marion-chama~!
Marion: ! Jacqueline, since when….?
Jacqueline: Even though I kept calling, Marion-chama kept walking on ahead. Did something happen-no?
Marion: Did something…..
----------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline: Marion-chama made a friend!?
Marion: A friend….?
Jacqueline: You played house, talked about lots of things, and drew pictures together right? Marion-chama made a friend-nano~!
Marion: W-wait Jacqueline! That’s not what I wanted to talk about…..
Jacqueline: Is that so-nano? But Marion-chama looked so happy talking about it….
Marion: …..!
Jacqueline: Tell Papa about it too-nano! He’ll definitely be happy to hear Marion-chama made a friend~ ♪
Jacqueline: Will your friend come again? Next time, Jacqueline will play with you guys too ♪
Marion: ………..
Marion: …..Yeah. If he comes again, I’d be really happy.
Marion: Next time we see each other, I’ll apologize for hitting him properly……

Helios Rising Heroes - Becoming Papa
HERO CHRONICLE - Victor Valentine Card Story
Marion: UUEEEEEEEE!! UUUUEEEEEEEE—!!!
Victor: ….How can I get you to stop crying?
Marion: WAAAAAAAHHHH—!!!!
Victor: ……….
Nova: Ahaha, is he crying again~?
Victor: Nova….. Even though it happens a lot, for him to cry this much is a little concerning.
Nova: Yeah, sometimes he cries so much his voice goes hoarse….
Victor: I’ve already changed and fed him. If he was just sleepy, I thought holding him like this he’d fall asleep right away, but…..
Victor: I really can’t parse the cause for this. For his own sake, would it be better if we used the power of science to get him to stop crying?
Nova: W-what are you planning to do with the power of science~? Compared to other kids, Marion’s just a little more of a crybaby.
Marion [reaching out]: Uue! Wah!
Nova: C’mere c’mere~ I’ll give you upsies~
Victor: …On that note, he hasn’t spoken any words yet, has he?
Nova: Hm? I guess so. His first birthday’s already passed, so I guess it’s about time?
Victor: On average, it seems like it’s about time he started talking…..if anything, it’s actually a little late for it……
Nova: Well, I guess if he’s preoccupied with crying this much, he probably can’t talk right?
Victor: Can you really afford to be that optimistic about it?
Nova: Don’t sweat it too hard. Marion’s healthcare….I mean his checkups are done by Dad after all.
Victor: I suppose so, but….it’s because he’s a special child that there’s always a possibility something might be wrong—
Jacqueline: Marion-chama~! ♪
Nova: Jacqueline! You came to just the right place~
Nova: Oh, would you look at that! Marion stopped crying!
Nova: I suppose you and I just weren’t what he needed.
Victor: …..I don’t understand what difference it made.
Nova: No, it’s totes different right?
Jacqueline: Marion-chama, were you waiting for Jacqueline?
Marion: Auh, au
Victor: ……….
Nova: Ah, oh yeah Vic! Do you wanna come look at the prototype for Jack 02 later?
Victor: Is it just about done?
Nova: Yeah. That’s why I wanted to get some feedback from you.
Victor: Understood. Has Oswald seen it yet?
Nova: Nah. I’m not planning to show Dad till it’s done.
Nova: I got a lot of help from him while building Jacqueline, so this time I wanted to try doing it myself~♪
Victor: …That’s not something people normally think.
Victor: Even with guidance from Oswald, being able to create an AI robot at the age of 10 is absurd enough. And now you’re trying to create one on your own.
Nova: Is it really all that great? Dad was all like “Don’t get ahead of yourself~”, while laughing.
Victor: He can only say that because he’s Oswald. Being around a genius like him all the time has numbed your senses. You’re already a prodigy.
Nova: U~hm…. Though if you ask me, Vic’s more of a prodigy.
Nova: I mean, you’re only 13 and Dad’s praised you real highly. He doesn’t do that much even for adults y’know?
Victor: ……I think to say I’m “more of it” might not be the right way to articulate it.
Nova: Eh?
Victor: No…..
Jacqueline: Papa, Marion-chama fell asleep.
Nova: Ah, he has! I’m glad I’m glad~
Victor: Well then, I’ll bring him back to his room.
Nova: You will? Thanks Vic. I’ll leave it to you.
Marion: [soft breathing] Suu, Suu…..
Nova: Fufu, what a cute sleeping face. I hope he gets plenty of sleep.
Victor: Are you planning to make the new AI robot call you “Papa” too?
Nova: Eh
Victor: That was the way you configured it, right? I was wondering if there was some kind of intention behind it.
Nova: I didn’t set that up. Before I knew it, Jacqueline just kinda started calling me “Papa”….
Victor: Is that even possible? You made that robot yourself.
Nova: It’s possible it was dad’s doing…..but he said he didn’t know anything about it when I asked him.
Jacqueline: Papa is Papa, so I call him Papa! Is that weird….?
Nova: See, when you say it like that now it makes me think twice about rewriting the code~
Victor: Is that the problem?
Nova: I don’t particularly dislike it, and I think being called “Papa” is kinda meaningful in the sense that I created her, which is nice.
Victor: [Sighs] ….
Nova: If you feel like it, why not try developing a robot yourself, Vic?
Victor: Eh…..
Nova: Getting called “Papa” at this age doesn’t feel too bad y’know~ Just kidding ♪
Victor: ………
Nova: Welp, Marion’s gone to sleep, so I think I’ll head back to the lab for now. Drop by and take a peek at how it’s going later~
Jacqueline: Jacqueline also wants to see Jack’s progress~♪
Victor: ………
Victor: (You make it sound so easy. I appreciate the recognition, but I don’t want you to think I’m capable of the same feats.)
Victor: (To be a researcher is to solve mysteries, taking the unknown and making it known…..boldly pursuing challenges in alignment with your intellectual inclinations.)*
Victor: (I wouldn’t go so far as to call them omnipotent, but it’s not impossible to become a creator of sorts.)
Victor: (Though that kind of thing isn’t easy to do for any human other than you—)
Marion: Auh!
Victor: …..!
Marion: Ah—, uuh—
Victor: D-did I wake you….
Marion: Uu……
Victor: Are you going to cry again? Please wait. If you’re going to do that, I’ll call Nova and the others back—
Marion: Pa..…pa…..
Victor: …..Eh?
Marion: Pa~pa….
Victor: ….Just now, did you say “Papa”?
Victor: No, I don’t think so. It was just a coincidence….it just happened to sound like it right—
Marion: Pa~pa! Pa~pa!
Victor: This…no way….
Victor: N-nova—
Victor: ………
Victor: …..It’s a strange feeling, huh.
Victor: At this very moment, only us two are privy to this knowledge…..
Marion: Pa~pa ♪
Victor: Fufu….for a little while longer, let’s bask in this strange feeling.

Marion: Well, I didn’t feel any kind of bloodlust or anything though.
Gast: ……
----------------------------------------------------
Junior: A-ah… That was a close one….they almost caught onto me….
Junior: (...--NOT, I'm trying to get advice from Marion, why am I chickening out now?!?!)
Junior: (I finally got to admit to Marion that I admire him! All that’s left is to ask him to teach me how to use Overflow!)
Junior: (Compared to that time, this is no biggie! Pull yourself together!)
Junior: [Inhales]
Junior: [chanting] Marion, please teach me how to use Overflow too….Marion, please teach me how to use Overflow too…
Junior: Alright!
Gast: Ooh, I see, so that’s what this was about.
Junior: Pya–.!?
Junior: Ga-Gast!? No way, just now, did you hear—
Gast: Just now? Ahhh
Gast: “Marion, please teach me how to use Overflow too”.
Gast: Heard your grumblin’, loud n’clear
Junior: Gya—!!
Gast: …Y’know, I did call out to ya first, but I guess you really didn’t hear me, huh
Junior: Uuh…..
Gast: Sorry, Marion said he felt some eyes on him, so I got a little worried.
Gast: When I looked around, I found you monologuing to yourself
Junior: A-agh
Gast: So? What was that about?
Junior: …..I heard Akira and Ren both got “Overflow” training from Marion.
Junior: So I wanted to ask him to teach me too but….y’see…a lotta stuff kinda came up….
Gast: Why now? Didn’t you mention recently that you’d done a training course to handle “Overflow”?
Gast: ….I mean, thanks to that power, you saved my ass back then.*
Junior: That’s it, it’s because I finished those sessions, I wanted to receive proper training….
Gast: ……….
Gast: Should I help you out?
Junior: Eh?
Gast: I mean I kind of get how ya feel. Plus you did help me out a bunch dealing with my dad. So I’ll help you out on this one
Gast: After the meeting he’s at right now, he’ll join my training, so why not ask then?
Junior: Thank you, Gast! I owe ya!!!
Gast: ……...
Junior: Ah, but….
Gast: Don’t sweat it. I’ll try to set the mood up, but you’re in charge of sending the message.
Junior: A-ah…. Got it…
Gast: I’ll do what I can to follow up for ya, so do your best.
Junior: ………..
----------------------------------------------------
Marion: ………
Junior: …….h,
Junior: He’s here!! Marion’s heading over!!
Gast: Yeah duh,....though, he looks like he might be in a bit of a bad mood…?
Junior: Eh, Marion’s in a bad mood…?
Gast: …..Alright. I’ll scope the situation a lil’.
Gast: Y-yo, Marion, good job on finishin’ that meeting. How’d it go….?
Marion: …..It’s nothing much.
Marion: Victor, that asshole, shared some info from the research department.
Gast: …..And?
Marion: At one point he kept throwing me looks while stressing that “Heroes have a physical exam scheduled.”
Marion: And then he kept emphasizing that it’d involve a blood draw!
Gast: A-ah….?
Gast: (Yikes…..I don’t really get what he’s angry about, but he’s in a real bad mood)
Gast: Hey, Junior, Marion seems to be in a really bad mood ….so maybe tread a lil’ carefully out there.
Junior: Pi–....!
Junior: (Calm down, calm down….but how am I supposed to say it….!?)
Marion: …Oi, what the hell have you two been mumbling to yourselves over there.
Junior: Piya!? N-n-n-nothing…. M-ma-ma-mma-ma—!
Gast: Calm down, Junior. You can’t get your point across like that, take a deep breath
Junior: Hu–haah—!
Marion: …..? What the-
Gast: Haha….y’see Junior, seems to have a small favor to ask of ya.
Gast: Seems like it’s something that, out of everyone in Helios, only you can fulfill, Marion, so I had him wait here for you.
Marion: ….Something only I can do?
Junior: !!!!!!
Gast: Oof…felt like your neck might pop right off with that headbang.
Marion: Yeah I don’t get it, but if it’s something only I can do, I’ll at least hear you out.
Junior: ……..
Junior: P…….
Marion: P……?
Junior: —Please teach me how to use “Overflow”!
Marion: Me? Teach you?
Junior: R-ren and Akira also learned from you right? Gast also said you were the best at using it…..
Marion: ….I guess it’s true I’ve taught “Overflow” users from other sectors before. But—
Junior: …..?
Marion: I’ve heard you already know how to use it?
Junior: T-that’s—
Marion: Plus, what about your own mentors? Keith can also use “Overflow” and he’d definitely know you better.
Marion: Or if it’s a matter of managing the skill, wouldn’t it be better to ask the just-returned Leonard Wright? You have similar abilities, after all.
Junior: Uuh…….
Gast: Ah—Marion. You’re right, but—
Junior: I–!
Marion & Gast: !
Junior: I wanted to ask Marion specifically…
Gast: Junior, you…..
Junior: Because I want to be as strong as Marion!! So I want to learn from you!!
Junior: So that’s why, please!!!!
Marion: ………..
Marion: Hmm.
Junior: !!
Marion: If you’re going that far, I’ll consider it.
Marion: But my schedule isn’t exactly clear. And you still have missions to fulfill for the Anti-Eclipse Unit, don’t you?
Marion: So if you’re free while I’m training Gast and Ren, join in. If that’s enough, I’ll take a look.
Junior: …Y-YES—!!!
Gast: Ain’t that great, Junior. Though you better—
Marion: My training will be tough. If you don’t correct according to my feedback, you’ll get the lash.
Gast: ….take note of that? ^^
Junior: Marion’s gonna train me! I can be like Marion…..!!
Gast: –Ey, I guess he didn’t hear any of that huh. Ah well, as long as he’s happy, I suppose it’s fine.

[phone ringing]
Gast: —.....Hm?
Gast: (A phone call……Is it Chuck or Roy? Did I forget something—?)
Gast: Wh—Eeeeh!?
----------------------------------------------------
Will: …..Sorry for calling out of the blue.
Gast: No, no, don’t sweat it. I was just meeting up with my lil’ bros nearby.
Gast: But what happened? For you to call me………
Gast: (Huh? I’m getting a sense of déjà vu?)
Gast: (Although back then, I jumped straight to wondering if it had to do with Akira—)
Will: I was at my parents’ house today, and my sisters asked me to give you something…..
Gast: Ah, that’s it! Your little sisters!
Gast: How are they?
Will: —Yeah, they’re both doing good.
Will: I entered their room for the first time in a while and it was overflowing with your merch.
Gast: Eh?
Will: It seems like they’ve become big fans of yours and I’m a little…. No, it’s nothing.
Will: Anyways, Adler, wasn’t it your birthday the other day?
Will: This is a birthday present from my sisters……
Gast: Eeh–!? A- are you sure??
Will: They put a lot of thought into preparing this for you. If you don’t accept it, I won’t be able to face them.
Gast: Aah, got it. I’m grateful. Please pass them my thanks.
Will: ……Yeah.
Will: I’m glad you were nearby, It would’ve been a pain to give it in the Tower.
Will: Welp, I’m headed back—
Gast: Ah, wait……
Will: ?
Gast: Are you only going back to the Tower? If you don’t have other plans, I kinda want you to come with me for a bit…..
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: Wow…..what a sparkly store…..
Will: How old is your sister?
Gast: She’s 12 right now.
Will: Aah, that’s not too far from my sisters….how about that nail set over there?
Gast: A nail set? She’s still in elementary school though.
Will: It’s a kid’s toy. Even if she doesn’t use it, it’s really cute and pretty popular, so I think lots of kids would be interested in it.
Will: Actually, even elementary school students often wear nail accessories……
Gast: I–is that so…. I don’t really understand girls…..
Gast: Thanks, Will! Glad I met ya back there, this helps a lot.
Will: …..You wanted to buy her a gift, but you guys don’t get to meet up that often, right?
Gast: Aah, yeah,….no, I mean we did, eh, kinda….
Will: ?
Gast: Look, sometimes you just wanna see your cute little sister’s happy face, right?
Will: Well, I get that feeling, but……
Will: By the way, what school does your sister go to?
Gast: Eh……
Will: My sisters go to a charter school on Magenta Avenue, so I was thinking maybe they might be schoolmates.
Gast: Ahh…. Eh, where was it again?
Will: Don’t you remember?
Gast: Well, I think it’s impressive you remember…..
Gast: I’ll ask her again sometime. It would be interesting if they went to the same school. They might already be friends ♪
----------------------------------------------------
Gast: Aah, phew. I’m real grateful, WIll.
Gast: Thanks to that, I got to buy her a gift and learned more about the latest trends with girls her age.
Will: No…Actually, you should probably thank my sisters.
Gast: Take this as a thank you for the birthday present. Let them know if they want something else signed. I’ll do it.
Will: …Yeah, sure.
Gast: ……….
Will: ………
Gast: …..Oh?
Cat: Meow~
Gast: Oh, a stray cat.
Will: …….
Gast: S-speaking of stray cats…..a while back, Ren—
Will: I don’t think badly of you anymore.
Gast: ……Eh?
Will: I mentioned this before, but… I caused you a lot of trouble with the Siams incident, and you helped me out a lot then…..
Will: I think I kind of get why Akira’s so attached to you.
Gast: ……..
Will: Y-you might be wondering where this is all coming from…well…..
Will: It’s hard to just change the way I act around you…but I don’t want to cause any weird misunderstandings…..
Gast: Will…..
Will: I-I’m stopping by my parents’ house one more time before going back to the Tower.
Gast: Eh?
Will: Ah..no, it’s not that this is awkward or anything…I just want to give your gift back to my sisters as soon as I can…..
Gast: I see. Yeah, I get it.
Will: Well, I’ll get goi—
Gast: Hey, Will…!
Will: ?
Gast: If you don’t mind, come out with me again to pick a gift for my sister sometime.
Gast: If that’s alright…..
Will: ……….
Will: Sure. Just call me if you need me.
Gast: !!
Will: Well, see you.
Gast: Thanks! See ya, Will…!

Sage: Oh? Marion-kun?
Marion: …..!
Sage: Ooh, what a strike of fate, meeting you here!
Marion: Wh-why are you at the Helios Museum……
Sage: This is my favorite spot in the city. I can spend time surrounded by things related to my beloved New Million, including Helios and its heroes!
Marion: Weirdo……
Marion: Anyways…..are you feeling alright now?
Sage: Eh?
Marion: No, it’s just a lot’s happened since the Brick River Bridge incident….
Marion: It’s fine if there’s been no changes for you, but I kind of doubt that’s the case….
Sage: I’m alright. I did go into overflow for a bit there, but the guys at the research department patched me up thoroughly.
Marion: Is that just your physical condition?
Sage: …………
Marion: I’m not gonna force you to talk, there’s probably people who would be easier to talk to for you……
Sage: Are you worried about me, Marion-kun?
Marion: T-That’s NOT it….!
Sage: Ehehe, thank you.
Marion: ……….
Marion: (Somehow, even back when we were rookies, my gut instinct told me he and Robin were hiding something….)
Marion: (Never imagined it’d be something like this though….)
----------------------------------------------------
Marion: —, [sighs]....
Marion: (I managed to get it under control without an injection….)
Marion: (Dammit, what’s causing these fits to happen so often lately….. I don’t want the other rookies to find out…..and…..)
Marion: (I definitely don’t want my mentor to find out about this)
Marion: (Brad Beams. Annoying ass that harps on others just because he’s some mentor.)
Marion: (If he really valued efficiency, he should just let me do what I want. I’m so much better than the rest of them, but he dares tell me to get in line….is he an idiot?)
Marion: (I’m a genius. A fit like this is no big deal to me.)
Marion: (I will definitely overcome this on my own—)
[something hits the ground]
Marion: (....What was that sound?)
Sage: Uu–….ugh….
Marion: (That’s… one of the rookies from South… Is he sick? He looks really pale….).
Sage (panting): Ugh…haah…haah…..
Marion: (He fell……!)
Robin: Sage!
Sage: Sensei……
Robin: Are you okay? ……What happened to your prayer beads?
Sage: I forgot them at the gym….I was on my way to get them……
Robin: I understand. I’ll get them for you, so calm down and rest here for a bit.
Sage: Thank you, Sensei….I’m sorry…..
Robin: When it gets to this point, don’t hold back. Contact me immediately.
Sage: Yes……
Marion: ………
----------------------------------------------------
Sage: —Marion-kun? Heey, Marion-kun.
Marion: !!
Marion: Sorry, I zoned out for a second there…did you say something?
Sage: Uuh… that maybe this is also your favorite spot?
Marion: What? No, to me, this place is……
Marion: ……….
Marion: I guess so. Yeah, this is my favorite spot.
Sage: Woah…! Yeah, is that so!
Sage: I’m so happy to find we have something in common….Ah! Hey, if you don’t mind, how about we come here together next time?
Marion: Eh…..
Sage: I have to head back for today…but I’d totes be down to go around with you again ♪
Marion: Su–….
Sage: It was really nice running into you here. I’ll see you around, Marion-kun!
Marion: Hey….
Marion: (.....What’s up with that? You don’t need my reply?)
Marion: (Well, he summed up what I was going to say anyways, so whatever)
Marion: (.......It’s not just a favorite spot. To me, this place is—)
Gast: Ah, Marion!
Marion: ……..!
Ren: Did you just get here? If so, you should’ve just come with us….
Marion: N-no! I got here earlier!
Victor: ?
Ren: Professor Nova and the others are arriving later. Should we start preparing for the tea party first?
Victor: It’s alright to wait till they’ve arrived. Nova has the snacks, and it’d be better to prepare the tea alongside them.
Victor: If you’re bored, why not check out the museum?
Gast: N-nah, I’ve seen it before with your explanations.
Victor: Oh, I’m not a machine, so I don’t plan to repeat the same spiel over and over again.
Victor: Maybe we should change the angle from before …Ah, that’s right, how about touring the facility while focusing more on the history of the old research institute itself?
Victor: I can share what I know from my own memories, like what Marion was like as a young child…..
Gast: Huh? That sounds like it’d be kinda interesting.
Victor: Hehe, then let me tell you about the time he tried to run away from those injections he hated so much with his baby walker. ^^
Marion: O-oi! Stop it, Victor!
Gast: Isn’t it good? I’d like to hear some of Marion’s baby stories. Ren, you feel the same too, right?
Ren: I’m interested in stories of the research institute.
Marion: Uu….you guys…..
Victor: Well, once Nova and the others arrive, that’s probably what will happen anyways.
Gast: Looks like it’s gonna be a fun party! ♪
Marion: NO! There’s no way I’m gonna let that slide….!

Akira: Ah–! Gast!
Gast: If it ain’t Akira….. What’s up? At this time too?
Akira: No, it’s just…….
Gast: ?
[sound of shoving]
Akira: Here.
Gast: Hm?
Akira: HERE!
Gast: ….What’s with this bag? Are you giving this to me?
Akira: Not you.
Gast: Well, what’s with it then?
Akira: ……Give it to Ren.
Akira: I showed up at my parents’ house and mom forced me to take it. It’s probably food or something?
Gast: I see….
Gast: Anyhow—shouldn’t you just give it to him yourself?
Akira: Ngh, nauh cuz…..
[long pause]
Gast: Got it, got it. I’ll give it to him.
Gast: Though I feel like Ren might feel a little better if you two argue a little like usual—
----------------------------------------------------
Ren: —From Akira?
Gast: Actually, it’s from Akira’s mom. Said she left it with him at home.
Gast: What is it?
Ren: …..Umeboshi, huh.
Gast: Umeboshi?
Ren: It’s Japanese food……plums that are…..pickled? Something like that.
Gast: Huuh~. I see, I guess both your families had roots in Japan.
Gast: Never really thought about it but, since you guys are relatives, are your parents siblings or something?
Ren: ……….
Gast: Aah, sorry. Guess you might not wanna talk about it……
Ren: Our mothers are sisters.
Gast: Ooh…..
Ren: They say it’s a taste we’ve passed down from our ancestors, and they made umeboshi together every year.
Ren: That said, Akira and Neesan didn’t really like it, and I was the only one out of the kids who was happy about it.
Gast: Is that so?
Ren: Yeah, I was much happier when someone made me umeboshi over cookies and cakes.
Ren: ……Auntie probably remembered that.
Gast: I see…. That’s good to hear.
Ren: ………
Ren: And you….?
Gast: Hm?
Ren: You…what was your mom like?
Gast: Eh…..
Ren: ….If you don’t want to answer, it’s fine.
Gast: Woah…can’t believe I’m the one being looked after.
Ren: Same here.
Gast: Haha, well, let’s make today a day of reciprocity.
Gast: My mom was…let’s see…. hmmmm… a kind and cute person, I guess?
Gast: Apparently she was from a pretty well-off family, and her way of speaking and aura had a softness to it.
Ren: Huuh… kind of surprising to hear.
Gast: Gonna say you can’t imagine it since I’m her son?
Gast: But, I do also have a lot of memories of horsing around and getting scolded.
Ren: Horsing around….?
Gast: Just the cute stories from when I was a kid. I got so into playing that I broke things, got dirty, got hurt…..
Gast: Mom was very strict on manners and the like because of her upbringing. In that regard, she may have been stricter than my dad.
Ren: Huuh…..
Gast: Though just because she was raised as a rich kid doesn’t mean she was naive. She’d been working since before I was born….
Ren: Is that so?
Gast: Yeah. Looking back, manners aside, I learned a lot from her.
Gast: Kind of realizing…I had the impression that she was weak and that I wanted to protect her, but…..
Gast: Maybe she was a stronger and more steady person than I’d initially thought.
Ren: …………
Gast: …….I wonder where she is and what she’s doing right now?
Gast: She probably would’ve liked to continue her work forever if she could……
Ren: ? Was it a specialized job?
Gast: Yeah…..well, maybe she’s still working somewhere. I shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
Ren: ………..
Gast: Hey, Ren. Let me try that umeboshi thing.
Ren: Eh…..
Gast: Do you eat it as-is? How do you like it?
Ren: ……I don’t mind, but you might regret it.
Gast: Eh
Ren: I told you both Akira and Neesan didn’t like it. Umeboshi are really sour, basically.
Gast: sour…?
Ren: Yeah, really sour.
Ren: Well, you might like it, so give it a try. It’s good for your health, too.
Gast: Uuuh…how much is “really”?
Gast: You said it was like a pickle, right? Is it around that level of sourness?
Ren: ……….
Ren: It’s better than putting a whole lemon in your mouth.
Gast: Eh!?
Ren: You’ll get it once you try it.
Gast: Wellll~....I guess I’ll take a look at it before deciding—
Ren: You can’t tell just by looking at it.

Other Side Heroes - Goodbye - Gast Adler Card Story
Gast: —Hey, Marion. We reserved the room for this time, right?
Marion: ? Yeah, I made the reservation, so it shouldn’t be wrong.
Gast: But….there’s someone there…..
Marion: What?
Jude: :).
Ren: ……Who is that?
Jude: Houh, it’s Marion. What great luck.
Marion: Jude Ares… Why are you here? This is our reserved time slot.
Jude: So it seems. I was using it until just now, but I still don’t think I’ve gotten enough of a workout in….
Jude: I remembered that Sage told me this morning that, “If you wait today, good things will happen,” so I decided to wait a while.
Jude: Lo and behold, you showed up. C’mon, let’s battle to the death now.
Marion: …..Who the hell wants to deal with a pervert like you? Get out, we have training.
Jude: If so, let me join in on the training
Marion: Haah?
Jude: You’ve got an odd number of people on you. You’ll be bored on your own so…. I’ll keep you company ^.w^
Marion: Are you stupid?….. No, I already knew that.
Marion: Shit…..should I get one of the rookies to call Bianchi?
Marion: But it’s a waste of time….postponing training for him would be a pain in the ass.
Gast: H-hey Marion. What are you going to do?
Marion: …..Alright. I’ll allow you to join the training session.
Jude: Ooh ^.w^
Marion: But it’s not me you’ll be fighting, but these two here.
Ren&Gast: EH–!?
Marion: Don’t worry. Of the 12th generation members, he’s on the stronger side, and there’s nothing he won’t do for an opponent.
Marion: Of course, he’s still leagues below me.
Jude: Hey, I want to fight Marion. Those two…are they 13th gen rookies?
Marion: That’s right. They’re still inexperienced and not at the average level, but I’ve spent a lot of time and effort training them.
Marion: If you underestimate them, you’ll get hurt.
Ren: Marion…….
Gast: This is getting to be a mess…..are we really going to train together?
Ren: I’ve talked to this guy once before.
Gast: Eh? You have?
Ren: He called out to me while I was with Will on the rooftop…..he seemed to get along fine with Will, but……
Jude: Will? Who’s that?
Ren: Eh……..
Jude: This is the first time we’ve met. I don’t recognize you at all.
Ren: …………..
Marion: Don’t overthink it, Ren. He quickly forgets things that don’t interest him.
Marion: But if you can show him what you’re made of here today, he’ll definitely remember you.
Marion: Just like me, you’ll become memorable.
Jude: That’s misleading. You make it sound like I’m interested in you.
Jude: It’s just I don’t forget you, but I’m not that interested in you. Well, I can at least admit you’re pretty strong.
Jude: “Bianchi and not Bianchi”..... My world is very simple. Remember that.
Marion: What….?
Gast: ………..
----------------------------------------------------
Ren: Are we really doing this?
Jude: That’s my line. I was waiting here to fight a strong opponent—
Marion: Shut up, you’re noisy, and it’s wasting time. Gast, get into position.
Gast: Ah, yeah….but is 2 vs 1 really okay?
Jude: ……Why is that a concern?
Gast: No, it’s not that you look weak. It’s just that we’re both gun users and can attack from long distances. But you……
Ren: Is that hammer your weapon?
Jude: Yeah, that’s right. But if it gets in the way, I’ll readily throw it away.
Ren&Gast: …………
Jude: …..How to fight against two gun users….that in itself is pretty interesting.
Jude: Alright, got it. Let’s hurry up and kill.
Ren&Gast: Hh…………
----------------------------------------------------
Jude: HaAHHH…!
Gast: He’s coming straight at me…! Oi, Ren, send more shots his way! Freeze his movements!
Ren: I don’t need you to tell me that! I’m hitting all the right areas!
Jude: HaAHH!!!
[sound of ice breaking]
Gast: No way….he smashed it with a hammer…..
Ren: With that kind of brute force…he has to be hurting himself too….
Jude: If you want to stop me, shoot, shoot, shoot!!!!
Gast: No, I mean he’s practically unarmed except for his hammer! And he hasn’t even used his powers!
Jude: Just shoot! What the hell are you hesitating for? Is that gun just for decoration?
Gast: Gh!
[shots fire]
Jude: Too slow.
Gast: !?
[Jude hits Gast]
Ren: Gast….!
Jude: KUHAHAHAHAHA! TAKE A LOOK I’M ON TOP OF YOU! I’M GONNA BEAT YOU UP! YOU GOTTA FIGHT BACK OR I’LL KILL YOU!
[Jude strikes blow after blow on Gast]
Gast: Guh…agh!
Ren: Oi, stop it! This is just supposed to be a fight!
[More blows on Gast]
Jude: SHUT UP! THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY! THERE ARE NO RULES ANYWAY…HAH! HAH! HAH!
Gast: Ugh….UUOOOOH!
[Gast blocks Jude’s blow]
Jude: ……Did you stop my fist?
Gast: Gh-RYAAAA!
Jude: Ugh!
[Jude falls]
Gast: Thanks, Ren. It woke me up when you called it a fight…
Gast: No, somehow that makes me feel better? I’ve got a lot of fight experience too.
Jude: Heeh….?
----------------------------------------------------
Ren: I’m heading out first.
Marion: Oi, Ren. Don’t go on your own. Gast, you should go too.
Gast: Yeah, I’ll be right there—
Jude: Gast Adler, huh? That was pretty interesting.
Gast: Haha, Marion got mad at me though. It wasn’t a fight, and I’m sure it was pretty ugly to watch.
Jude: Fighting and killing techniques aren’t bad. But yours are more….down-to earth….
Jude: Ah, that’s right. It reminds me of my time on the battlefield.
Gast: Eh……
Jude: I was a mercenary for a while. The feeling I got heading out into the battlefield was very similar.
Gast: ………..
Jude: Have you experienced it too?
Gast: No, I’ve never been to a battlefield…..
Jude: I see.
Gast: Well, I’ll be going then—
Jude: “Adler”?
Gast: ………..
[Gast walks off]
Jude: Come to think of it, I think that was the name of the high-ranking military official who often assigned me jobs back in the day…..
Jude: Is there any connection…..oh he left?
Jude: Gast Adler. I’ll at least remember that name.

Gast: Haha, thanks guys.
Gast: And, I’m sorry for worrying all of you….
Roy: No that--! See we might not know the full details…. but knowing you, we all knew there must’ve been some reason…!
Gast: Even so. Doesn’t change the fact that I made you all worry.
Roy: Hey now hey, let’s put all that aside–you’re finally back, so let’s have fun today.
Chuck: Heck yeah. I’ve made reservations at a good spot, so we can drink and make some noise after lettin’ loose!
Akira: Heard ya hung out with Keith every night, ain’t that unfair. It’s our turn!
Gast: Was that hanging out….or training…..
Gast: —Nah, rather not sweat those details now. Alright, let’s go!
Chuck: Yahoo~! So what do y’all wanna do? Should we go darts like usual?

Akira: Fuck~~! Dude how’ve you only gotten better since last time?
Gast: Haha, I’ve had a lotta chances to do it recently, so maybe I’ve improved from that.
Akira: The hell is with that, not fair!
Roy: Don’t complain. Gast-san’s always been strong so this ain’t any sneak work.
Chuck: Right right. Anyways, Gast-san, let’s do a round of this together!
Delinquent A: Hey, you promised it’d be us next!
Delinquent B: No, I was first–no cutting the line!
Gast: Hey hey, there’s only one of me so calm down guys.
Gast: Look, I’ll take turns against all of you, so don’t cause a ruckus.
Delinquents: Yes, Gast-san!
----------------------------------------------------
Roy: To Gast-san’s return~ Cheers–!
Gast: Haha, thanks everyone. That was fun.
Roy: Just hearing you say that made planning today all worth it. Right, Chuck?
Chuck: YEAH! Glad ya got the spirit. Issa good thing I chose to come here after all~
Roy: …..Hm? What do you mean by “chose to come here”?
Woman: –Couldn’t help but eavesdrop, what exactly are you planning!?
Gast: !?
Chuck: H….huh? You’re…..
Woman: Huh, so you remember me. You’d been having such a good time with those friends of yours that I thought you’d forgotten my face.
Chuck: ……….
Woman: You…. you were the one who hit on me, weren’t you? You asked me out, then cancelled on me last minute…..
Chuck: N-no….that was…..
Woman: I made time for you because you insisted!? But you said you had something important to do…..and it’s this? Isn’t this just some hangout!?
Roy: O-oi, Chuck…..did you….
Akira: So you already had plans and just cancelled……
Delinquent A: Dude, you’re awful.
Chuck: Well! To me it was important……
Woman: Hah????
Akira: Oi, Apologize. This is definitely your fault.
Chuck: Eh—.....
Roy: No “eh”’s! Don’t you have shame.
Chuck: L-look I got it…….
Woman: ………
Chuck: Sorry, it’s my bad for breaking my promise but…. to me, Gast is important so…..
Woman: ——!!
Delinquent A: Aah…..
Delinquent B: Totes stepped on a landmine there.
Roy: Chuck….you…the way you said that…..
Woman: What are you….making fun of m—
Gast: —Wait, please.
Akira: Gast…..?
Gast: ………..
Chuck: G-Gast-san?
Woman: ……So you’re the cause?
Gast: (S-scaryy…..)
Gast: I’m sorry. Chuck’s caused you trouble….not saying you should forgive him, but it is what it is.
Roy: Gast-san shouldn’t need to bow his head! Oi, Chuck! You’re the one who fucked up so take responsibility!
Gast: No, indirectly, I was the cause, and I share the responsibility for my younger brothers’ mistakes.
Gast: He’s not a bad guy at heart. He was probably just trying to be considerate of me.
Gast: But it’s still true he caused you trouble…..and that it would probably hurt to see a scene like this after he broke his promise.
Woman: ……….
Gast: For that, I’m really sorry. I’m prepared for any scoldings, and if it helps you calm down, you can hit me until you feel better.
Chuck: Gast-san, that’s….!
Woman: ……Haah, that’s enough.
Woman: You…you should be grateful to this person. And never show your face in front of me again.
Chuck: Y-yeah…..I got it…. And um…. Really… I’m sorry….
Woman: …………
Akira: ….And she left, huh.
Gast: Sigh~~~, it somehow worked out. At least it didn’t turn into a blood bath……
Akira: You really stepped up….hehe, that was kinda cool♪
Gast: Haha, though I was pretty damn scared
Chuck: ….I’m…so sorry, Gast-san
Roy: You, seriously reflect on your actions
Gast: Yeah. This whole thing was 100% your fault.
Gast: I know what you said earlier, but go find her tomorrow and apologize again. Right now you’re both a bit shaken, so show some proper sincerity.
Chuck: Y-yes…..
Gast: And….you should be less frivolous. Don’t ever do something like that again.
Gast: You hurt those you wrong….even if they forgive you, the fact that it happened never goes away.
Gast: …..In the end, you alone have to bear the consequences of your actions.
Gast: ………..
Akira: ………..
Chuck: …..Yes, I understand. I’m deeply, truly sorry.
Gast: …..Alright then, that’s enough preaching.
Akira: Yeah! Still got a ton of delicious lookin’ food in front of us, so let’s have some fun!♪
Roy: ……Guess I got no choice. Here, if Chuck’s reflected, let’s have a good time.
Chuck: Y-yeah….leave it to me!
Gast: ………..
Gast: (I really am…back, huh. Well, not everything got wrapped up tidy, but that’s just like us……)
Akira: Oi, what’s the man of the night doing staring blankly. Get over here, Gast!
Gast: ….Yeah! But don’t get too wild!
The High Priestess - Marion
Helios Rising Heroes - Patience and Explosion
ARCANA: The High Priestess - Marion Blythe Card Story
Marion: —And, that’s a review of what we’ve covered so far.
Ren & Gast: .......
Marion: Gast....you’ve been neglecting your duties, haven’t you?
Gast: Uu.....
Ren: ...........
Marion: And these are all basic questions... disappointing
Gast: Sorry....I didn’t think I’d get this rusty either. Things were starting to come back as I listened to you talk but....
Marion: Ah well. I’ll have to drill it in again, including the events that occurred during your absence.
Gast: Y-yeah... Sigh~~.......
Ren: .......Oi, no sighing.
Marion: ......... >:(
Gast: Ah, shit.......!
Gast: Hh........
[long pause]
Marion: Here. Next question set. Do it quickly.
Gast: Huh?
Ren: ...........
Marion: What is it?
Gast: Aah~ ......No, I thought for sure the whip was gonna come flying.......
Marion: What are you talking about? Stop dilly-dallying and get on with it. Ren’s already started.
Gast: Geh-! Not fair, Ren!
Ren: What isn’t? You’re the one who’s distracted.
Marion: He’s right. Less grumbling, more answering. You have 30 minutes…got it?
Gast: Y–yeah!
[In the training room]
Ren & Gast: [panting]
Marion: Combat training is alright......both your results aren’t bad.
Gast: Just a passing grade.......strict as ever huh. The drill was harder than usual.
Marion: That’s exactly why it’s only passing. Your movements have become more intentional, but you’ve got a long way to go. Keep working on it.
Gast: Haha....saying it like that.........
Ren: Oi.....
Marion: ......... >:(
Gast: Marion, that’s not it! I’m not making excuses, just talking to myself......!
Marion: .....Looks like you still have enough energy to run your mouth huh. Then next time, I’ll add—
Ren & Gast: .............
Marion: .......? Again, what is it? You’ve been looking at me weird.
Gast: S, sorry.... Wasn’t intending to but.....uh, Marion, are you feeling alright?
Marion: Huh?
Ren: Oi, Gast....
Gast: Ah, no! I’m not saying you’ve been weird or anything like that......!
Marion: If you have something to say, just spit it out. It’s annoying.
Gast: Uuh, how do I say this…. You’ve been able to control……no, that you can just feels weird...
Marion: ..........
Marion: (What’s up with him..... maybe he still hasn’t fully recovered?)
Marion: .......If you aren’t feeling well, say so from the start.
Gast: ..........Eh?
Marion: That’s all for today, get some proper rest.
[Marion walks off]
Gast: Wh-what was that......?
Ren: No idea......
[At Victor’s lab]
Marion: Their theoretical knowledge is a little shaky, but the rest were passable.
Victor: In terms of theoretical knowledge, Ren shouldn’t be an issue. Gast maybe just needs some time to refresh his memory.
Victor: Since it seems to me he has a good grasp of what he studied at the Academy.
Marion: ......Yeah, he was definitely distracted by other things. He couldn’t concentrate at all.
Victor: Other things like?
Marion: That I don’t know. It’s why I thought maybe he hasn't fully recovered yet......
Victor: Hmm, just an example, but would it perhaps include things like….staring without saying a word…?
Marion: Huh? What is that, gross......
Marion: Hm?
Ren & Gast: ..............
Victor: They saw all that, Marion.
Marion: You two, didn’t I tell you to go rest?
Gast: .....It really is weird.
Marion: ......This is the second time already, but I’ll ask anyways. What is?
Gast: Your “Blood Rules”.
Marion: Huh.......?
Gast: I’ve broken them a bunch of times already, but nothing happened......
Gast: I’ve already pushed your boundaries a lot. Isn’t that weird......?
Marion: ...........
Marion: …..I see. So you’re at least self-aware?
Gast: Eh?
Ren: .......!
Marion [smirking]: Hmph....
Gast: Ma-marion….?
Marion [bringing out the whip]: Guess worrying you weren’t feeling well was too soft of me.
Marion: Now I get it........I shouldn’t have been spoiling you!
[whipping noises]
Gast: Eh, now!???
Ren: Why am I included…..!
Marion: It’s a collective responsibility, so get ready.
Gast: W-wait wait. Control! Control, Marion!
Marion: Make no mistake, I am in full control!
Ren: Oi, Gast do something!
Gast: Don’t be absu–aGH–!
[Gast dodges a whip strike]
Marion: No running! Just accept your punishment!
Gast: I’m sorry! It's my bad so—
Gast: (But, I’m glad we’re back to usual....)
Marion: Stop grinning like that! You haven’t reflected enough!
[whip strike]
Gast: Oww–!
[whip strike]
Ren: I had nothing to do with this….!
Victor: Oya oya......they get along well, huh.
Victor: ,,,,,Though, Marion, please refrain from starting scuffles in my lab.

[Footstep sounds]
Asch: Alright, so that’s the clutch play.
Gast: What are you doing?
Asch: As you can see, I’m inspecting the motorbike after it’s come back from repairs.
Asch: I can’t just leave the maintenance to someone else for this.
Gast: Haha, you’re surprisingly diligent.
Asch: Haah?
Gast: I see, so the bike’s just come back from repairs huh.
Gast: …….Though in this case it might be more accurate to call it a modification than a repair.
Asch: Do you ride too?
Gast: Yeah. Though, I don’t think I’m as intense about it as you?
Gast: I used to find abandoned motorbikes, scrape together parts from all over the place, and work hard to restore them.
Gast: Well, even if it looked like it was taking shape, the engine still sounded like a broken trumpet.
Asch: Hah, sounds like something a delinquent would do.
Gast: Haha, it’s cuz I didn’t have money back then.
Asch: If you’re free right now, join me for a tour.
Gast: Eh….first sparring, now touring? That’s fine, but can I really ride on the back?
Asch: Haah? Don’t get cocky, I’m lending this to you.
Gast: Is that alright? Then, what will you ride?
Asch: There’s a lot of others to choose from.
Asch: I’m lending you my beloved motorbike, you better follow me like your life depends on it.
Gast: …..OK, I’ll try my best.
----------------------------------------------------
Asch: Hmph, so you actually managed to keep up.
Gast: Somehow it worked out. I wanna praise myself too.
Asch: Of course, it’s because my bikes are top tier.
Gast: Haha, can't argue with that.
Asch: So what happened to the delinquents after last time?
Gast: Eh?
Asch: You called out specifically to give me an update, right?
Gast: Aah….well, I was also curious about your motorbike.
Gast: For now, the perpetrators of the case that was taken to the police were forced to turn themselves in.
Gast: The guy who was in charge of the team also turned himself in as the main culprit. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but he’ll probably also receive punishment.
Asch: Yeah, if you let that guy go, I wouldn’t forgive you.
Gast: Haha……
Gast: Looks like I’ll be leaving the team to whichever member is most sensible. For now, my younger brothers are monitoring them for me, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Gast: The bikers seem content with the apology, so it’s fine.
Asch: I see.
Gast: I caused you a great deal of trouble too.
Asch: Oi, why are you acting like this is all over and done with?
Asch: There’s one thing that’s still been left unresolved, right?
Asch: You are the source of the rumor that you’ve returned to delinquency. You think I’ll just let that one slide?
Gast: That’s……
Asch: Even if it was just to settle things, you really committed and said you would come back.
Gast: …………
Asch: I don't give a damn for whatever baggage you’ve got
Asch: I’ll accept that this issue has been resolved in a way this time.
Asch: But don’t half-ass things and let that get in the way of your work.
Gast: …….Yeah, I got it.
Gast: I know that very well.
Asch: ………..
Asch: Let’s head back soon. This time I’ll make sure you can’t keep up.
Gast: ……… Yeah, I’ll chase you with all I've got.

TL Note:
Sorry this took so long! Life caught up to me, had the translation finished for a good long while but I couldn't find the motivation to upload and format it. Figured it at least deserved this for the rerun, though. Just trying to get back into the habit of squeezing tling/uploading into my free time again.
Helios Rising Heroes - Rage or Silence
Chapter 13:
Delinquent Leader: Eh….
Asch: ……..
Street Delinquent B: Woooaaah, holy shit!!
Street Delinquent A: Hell yeah!! Now we can really let those bikers taste pain!
Biker A: Tch, shit……
Biker B: With that Gast Adler on board….things don’t look too good….
Delinquent Leader: I appreciate it, but is this really okay? Heroes are our—
Gast: You sure used a hero’s name a lot, can’t complain ‘bout that now.
Delinquent Leader: O-of course, I’m grateful you came at this time.
Asch: Hmph……
Gast: Guys, I’m in charge of this team from now on. I’ll be countin’ on ya.
Delinquents: YEAAAHH!!!
Gast: With that, you have to follow my orders. If you don’t….you know the consequences, right?
Street Delinquent B: Y-yes!
Gast: Good.
Gast: Okay, first of all, let’s make peace with these bikers.
Bikers: Wh–....
Delinquent Leader: H-hold it, wait–! We’re here because we have to drive these bikers outta here!
Street Delinquent A: Yeah….! For the sake of the city, we need to get them out!
Gast: Shut it.
Delinquents: H……
Gast: I told you to follow my orders, right?
Delinquents: …………
Delinquent Leader: No, that’s too much! We can’t just let these bikers run wild! We need to get rid of them straight away!
Gast: It’s not them who should leave. It’s you.
Delinquent Leader: ….Eh
Gast: You declared a bone to pick with bikers in order to unite the delinquents, even though there was no need for this dispute to happen in the first place, didn’t you?
Delinquent Leader: N-no that’s…….
Gast: Then let me ask you this: Are these guys really aggressive? Are they committing theft? Are they dangerous people?
Biker A: Why the hell would we commit theft? We just need territory and a place to modify our motorbikes.
Biker B: Then these guys started attacking us, calling us a criminal gang.
Delinquent Leader: Tsk…..
Gast: You were planning to use this conflict to gain status around here, weren’t you?
Street Delinquent A: If that’s true, were we being manipulated this whole time…..?
Street Delinquent B: Is there no actual point in fighting these bikers……..?
Gast: You offered me a place in charge of the group, but assumed I wouldn’t take it on because I’m a hero, just so you could use my name, right?
Delinquent Leader: I-it’s true that I used you! But it’s also true that I admire you! I want to be just like you—
Gast: I only came here to stop it.
Delinquent Leader: Eh….
Gast: That’s it. Sorry.
Delinquent Leader: Shit….!
----------------------------------------------------
Asch: Oi, where the fuck do you think you’re going?
Delinquent Leader: …….!
Asch: You gotta make up for all this. I ain’t letting you get away with it.
Delinquent Leader: Hh……..
Gast: We did a terrible thing to you bikers. We’ll apologize properly later.
Gast: So, can we just make peace here?
Biker A: …..If you say so.
Biker A: Okay, let’s make peace.
Gast: Thanks.
Gast: So, this marks the end of this conflict! Got it!?
Delinquents: YEAH!!
