FIND OUT MY ORIGINS; Silvio
The translation isn't 100% accurate, so expect mistakes! The story does not belong to me, it belongs to Cybird. I'm just translating so others can also enjoy the stories if they cannot wait for english translation:)
Warnings: spoilers from Silvio's route! This is from his POV!
This is for my dear friend; @oh-my-otome sorry I couldn't get 2 & 3 chapters of Silvio!
(Oh, for fuck's sake, what on earth is this feeling?)
(I always feel a bit odd when I'm with this woman.)
(The only special thing about her is her title—Belle—even though she's a cheeky, totally charmless woman, who physically bites people.)
[Flashback from chapter 14]
Emma: "It's a bit too late worrying about that now, though, considering how many times I've seen you blush."
Silvio: "Stop making up crap! There's nothing wrong with my face!"
Emma: "Then let go of me."
Silvio: "Don't order me around. Besides..."
Silvio: "You're the one blushing here."
Emma: "Y-You must be joking." (I know Emma in his ENG main route said "give it a rest already" but this is what I translated this sentence to.)
Emma: "It's just too hot in the kitchen for you to be clinging onto me! Would you just let go already?"
Emma: "What on earth is this about anyway?!"
Silvio: "'Cause you're usually sassy as hell, but all of a sudden you actually looked kinda cute and charming."
(....I thought if I'd just shooed away that damned dog and made this woman wait, it might have calmed my recent frustration, but...)
(That's not the case, it seems.)
[Background change — carriage]
Emma: "Prince Silvio, I did treat you to fricassée a while ago, didn't I?"
Emma: "Is today's entertainment over...?"
Silvio: "That's damn impossible, isn't it? Look at the sky—It's still broad daylight."
Having finished our meal, we traveled into town in carriage. The woman wore a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
The reason behind her silence might have been the guilt of going out without telling her butler.
(I can't stand a single thing about it.)
Silvio: "Lady, what is your role?"
Emma: "....I'm here to entertain prince Silvio, so he'll come to like Rhodolite."
Silvio: "You know perfectly well then."
Silvio: "I've got nothing planned today. I'm telling you, I'm giving you a chance."
Silvio: "You can decide where we are goin'."
Emma: "So, you didn't have any destination in mind, then."
(It was quite a pain to clear my schedule, mind you.)
(I've no idea why I'm spending so much time on this woman)
(And it's not just today, either. It's been like this ever since I started leaving hostess duties to this lady.)
(Even though it's not worthy as much as business meetings.)
Emma: "I've been thinking about the details of entertainment with Rio...so it's a bit of a dilemma."
Silvio: "Are you some kinda incompetent fool who can't do a thing without her attendant's help?"
Emma: ".....I wouldn't mind taking you on in a fight, you know."
Emma: "Hm...That's right, what about that place?"
Emma: "There's a place that's hugely popular with with tourists when they visit the country of art and refinement."
[Background change — museum]
Manager: "I'd heard rumors of your stay, but I never imagined you would visit our establishment...what brings you here?"
Silvio: "I'm not here for any business. Don't worry about it."
Manager: "Understood. Should you require anything, please do not hesitate to ask. We would be delighted to welcome you."
In a country renowned for art and refinement, the second largest building after the palace is art gallery.
Paintings, sculptures, calligraphy, crafts—a wide variety of artworks are held in the collection.
It'd been a while since I'd last been there, but it certainly wasn't a place with particular charm.
Emma: ".....So, apparently, you have influence even in state-run establishments."
Silvio: "I've just been throwing a bit of money in here. That's all."
Emma: "But this is Rhodolite's art museum, isn't it?"
Silvio: "It's a key location in the country of art, isn't it? It's just the right place to do the country a favor."
Silvio: "Artworks cost a fortune to look after."
Silvio: "You lot can't even stand up to me, can you?"
Silvio: "There's no need to tilt your head like that. More importantly, how are you gonna satisfy me?"
Silvio: "I've been to the art gallery loads of times. I already know every nook and cranny, you know?"
(As I expected, she looks surprised.)
The woman rested her hand on her chin and seemed deep in thoughts, but before long, she looked up as if she'd made up her mind.
Emma: "The art gallery changes its exhibits with seasons."
Emma: "So, there are still works of art that you've never seen before."
Silvio: "Only some, though."
Emma: "Anyway! The best thing about museums is that, every time you visit, you discover something new!"
Emma: "I'll show you the way, so let's go!"
[Background change — cafe]
After the tour around art gallery, we settled down at a nearby cafe.
The woman moistened her lips with the tea and opened her eyes ever so slightly.
(Was it really that good? She's such an easily pleased woman.)
[Flashback of art gallery]
Emma: "This piece depicts a dawn sky after the rain, viewed through buckwheat field."
Emma: "As this is famous painting that's on permanent display, you probably have seen it before......."
Emma: "Look, here....Did you know there's a rabbit drawn there inside this water droplet?"
Emma: "A painting with all sort of little details hidden away in the finer points. It's so fascinating!"
Emma: "This sculpture is said to have been created by several artists, employed by wealthy merchant in Rhodolite."
Emma: "Just look at that confident, hard-to-please expression. It's just like prince Silvio's—"
Emma: "Wait...Don't grab my head like that! I was just joking!"
Emma: "But you do have haughty and smug air around you. If you look closely, you two do look alike—"
Emma: "Oh no! You made a complete mess of my hair! I'd managed to tie it up so neatly today too—but now, look at it!"
[Background change — back to cafe]
Silvio: "You seemed to be having more fun than me."
Happy, angry—in such a short time, I saw many of her expressions.
(She's a woman who hardly smiles in front of me but maybe she's in a good mood today.)
(If you'd always smile like that, you'd be even cuter—)
(..........No, that's not it.)
Emma: "Actually, it's been a while since I last went to art museum...so I couldn't resist."
Silvio: "You seemed to know quite bit about art too."
Emma: "I studied just in case I would have, one day, be tasked to show you around."
Silvio: "For someone so cheeky, you're quite serious."
I couldn't help but smile.
The lady's eyes widened for a moment, then she immediately looked away.
Emma: "B-But, more importantly, you seemed to be on good terms with her."
Phew, ε-(´・｀)ﾌ I translated this quickly. It's a shame I couldn't get rest of the chapters for him too. But I was saving up for Cheva so...do forgive me haha! Still, it was nice seeing things from his POV, considering I've never read his side stories before. I didn't know he made time specifically for her.
