Byron Wagner Episode 9 Part 6/10
Byron: “Above all, they want power…”
Byron: “Since that time, nothing has changed.”
Albert: “…Yes.”
Byron lowered his eyelids, muttering with a pensive expression.
Byron: "....Don’t tell the princess about this."
Byron: “It will only stir up anxiety.”
When Albert lowered his gaze, he sensed Byron holding his breath.
Byron: "I don't want to see that look of sadness on her face."*
Byron: “But thinking that way, maybe I’m being too naive.”
Albert: “…………”
After Albert gazed at Byron’s profile,
he turned his gaze toward the box on the side table.
Then, he clenched his lowered fists just once.
***
—Meanwhile, in Wysteria……
(...Man, it's been days since I've seen Byron-sama’s face.)
-flashback-
Byron: “I'll go to Wysteria again soon.”
Byron: “Until then, can you wait?”
-flashback ends-
When I suddenly found myself recalling the last words we exchanged,
the back of a hand tapped lightly against my forehead.
Alyn: “What, you're spacing out just because your work is done?”*
MC: “Alyn…”
Alyn: “Hey, I’m joking. Isn't that to be expected?”
Option 1: ...What does that mean? (correct option)
Option 2: To be expected…?
Option 3: Tilt your head
MC: “...What does that mean?”
Alyn: “You've been working really hard lately."
Alyn: "If there's nothing to tease you about, it’s not fun."*
The look on Alyn’s face when I looked up was mischievous,
but there was something gentle about it that made a smile suddenly slip onto my face.
(…I guess he’s worried about me.)
MC: “I'll do my best so Alyn doesn't make fun of me.”
Alyn: “If you can talk back like that, maybe I don't have to worry.”
After saying just that, Alyn let out a sigh and smiled even more broadly.
Byron Wagner Episode 9 Part 7/10
—After leaving MC’s room, Alyn walked to the knights’ quarters……
Alyn: “…?”
He stared intently at the figure walking toward him.
Alyn: “…Hey, stop.”
At Alyn’s stern voice, the figure suddenly came to a halt.
When Alyn approached, the figure was illuminated by moonlight.
Albert: “…………”
Alyn: “Albert…? What are you doing here?”
Albert lowered his eyes at the question.
Albert: "I came here on business, that's all."
Alyn: “I haven't heard from Stein that you guys are coming.”
Alyn: “Besides, is it just you…?”
Albert: “Ah.”
Alyn: “Depending on how you answer, I can't just let it slide.”
Albert took a deep breath, then said in a serious voice.
Albert: “…I'm sorry. I can't reveal the reason.”
Alyn: “…………”
Albert: “However, I have done nothing to bring shame upon myself as a knight.”*
Albert: “…That, I swear.”
Alyn stared intently into Albert's eyes and after a brief silence, he stepped into the corridor.
Alyn: “Go on. Those words, I’ll trust them.”
Albert: "Thank you. Alyn Crawford."
When Albert took a step forward, he muttered as they passed each other.
Albert: “…Right now, where is the princess?”
Alyn: “She’s in her room.”
Albert: "Please don't tell the Princess of Wysteria about this."
Having said that, Albert walked down the corridor and out into the garden.
Alyn turned away from his back,
looking up at the slightly crescent-shaped moon in the sky—
Alyn: “Somehow... there’s a bad vibe in the air.”
Byron Wagner Episode 9 Part 8/10
(…I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.)
When I glanced out the window, my eyes were drawn to the stars twinkling in the sky.
For some reason, I felt like looking at the stars, so I threw on my robe and headed outside.
Just when I was about to look up at the sky, holding my robe down against the night breeze……
MC: “……?”
(…That voice.)
Carried by the breeze, a familiar voice reached my ears.
(Nico and… Albert-san?)
…………
***
When I walked towards the voice,
I saw two people standing face to face as they talked in front of a lake with the moon reflecting on its surface.
Just when I was about to open my mouth to speak to them……
Nico: “…They have started to move.”
Albert: “Thinking about the House of Lords, I figured there was no way they wouldn't take action…”
(……Just now…)
The House of Lords, just hearing that phrase made my breath stop and my legs go numb.*
Nico: “…So, what did they say?”
Albert: “The House of Lords does not recognize the marriage of the princess and Byron-sama.”
Albert: “Their reason is to preserve the royal bloodline."
Nico: "...They’re making fun of us, royal blood has nothing to do with it.”
Nico: “They're just afraid that the bond between Wysteria and Stein will grow stronger.”
Albert: “Ah, it's all.….. for the sake of power."
Albert-san’s expression grew somber in the moonlight.
Seeing that expression, the story I’d heard from Robert-san flashed through my mind.
-flashback-
Robert: “What would you do if a helping hand were suddenly extended to you...?”
MC: “I’d reach for it... and be grateful for that hand.”
Robert: “Yeah, that’s right.”
Robert: “Even if you don't have royal blood, you can still gain immense support and power.”
-flashback ends-
Nico: “Hey, Al, you don’t look like yourself."*
Albert: “…?”
Nico furrowed his brow slightly and muttered.
Nico: “You look like you're remembering something unpleasant from the past.”
Albert: “………”
Byron Wagner Episode 9 Part 9/10
Near the quiet lake, the only thing I could sense was Albert-san holding his breath.
(…I know I shouldn't be here, but my feet won't move.)
Albert: “…There's no way I wouldn't remember that.”
Albert: “Have you already forgotten that sight?”
Nico: "I hated it... There's no way I could forget it.”
I heard Nico’s voice in a way I’d never heard before.
Nico: “When we got out of the tower we’d been trapped in… Where am I? I wondered.”
Nico: “It was kind of like a dream, wasn't it?”
Albert: “…………”
Nico: “I never thought Al would catch the infectious disease as well.”*
(………..)
Albert: “I survived thanks to Robert-san. But…”
Albert: “The people who have died, they can't come back to life.”
Nico: “……Right.”
Albert: "Besides, my own pain was nothing compared to Byron-sama’s pain."*
Albert-san took a deep breath, then gazed into the distance and muttered.
Albert: “I still can’t forget the sight of him just standing there, staring at that tragic scene.”
(The moment he felt the most despair was...)
-flashback-
Robert: “Princess, do you know why I told you this story…?”
Robert: “Because I want you to be by Byron’s side.”
MC: “Be by his side……”
Robert: “I've been living with this regret ever since.”
Robert: “But when we emerged from the tower where we had been practically confined, the one who felt the most despair at the sight of the desolate landscape...”
Robert: “Was Byron.”
-flashback ends-
(……Byron-sama, was that it?)
Nico: “…So, knowing those guys, did they come up with some kind of demand or something?"
Albert: “That's pretty sharp for you."
Albert-san raised his eyes, which had been cast down, and stated clearly.
Albert: “In a few days... it will be the very day that Wysteria and Stein formed an alliance.”
Albert: “When discussing the relationship with the prospective queen consort to the public—”
Byron Wagner Episode 9 Part 10/10
Nico: “…Al?”
Albert-san furrowed his brow deeply, blurting out in one breath.
Albert: “If Byron-sama declares that he’s going to sever it, they’ll just stay quiet.”
Nico: “What does stay quiet mean…?”
Albert: "They have said they are prepared to stage large-scale demonstrations."
(…….Demonstrations?)
Nico: "They’re calling it a demonstration and all, but I'm sure it's nothing that cute."
A stern voice slipped from Nico’s lips.
Albert: "Ah, Byron-sama is well aware of that."
Albert: “…I have no idea what they're going to do."
Their voices reached the very center of my chest, my emotions beginning to stir.
Nico: “However, Byron-sama has no intention of ending his relationship with MC-sama."
Nico: “Right…?”
Albert: “Ah.”
Nodding, Albert handed the box he was holding to Nico.
Nico: “This is…”
Albert: "The cane for the queen consort of Stein.”
Albert: “Byron-sama told me not to mention this to the princess but…”
Nico: "You brought this because you thought it would send the message that he was waiting."*
Albert: “Wha…!”
Nico: “That's pretty thoughtful of Al.”
Nico flashed his usual smile, then accepted the box with both hands.
Nico: “I’ll give it to MC-sama.”
Nico: “…So, now what about Byron-sama?”
Albert: "Right now, we cannot easily open the country's borders."
Nico: “That’s true.”
(I……)
My chest feeling tight, their voices gradually faded into the distance.
Albert: "The next time I come to Wysteria will be the day of the commemorative ceremony."
Nico: “What we can do is…”
Albert: “You must stay by the princess's side.”
Albert: “I'm not going to leave Byron-sama’s side."
Nico: "...Yeah, if the House of Lords is going to make their move, it'll be after the ceremony."
Albert: “I’ll have to.….. brace myself.”
At that moment, a slightly stronger breeze blew and the breath I’d been holding all along escaped.
MC: “……….”
Without even realizing it, I ran away from there.
Nico: “……MC-sama?”

Byron-sama’s presence, and this love, have helped me grow.
Byron: “Why do you look like you’re about to cry?”

Gacha Side Story 2 - “Budding Love: The Meaning of Holding Hands” (His POV of Episode 8 - Part 6 and Part 7)
Yes, I’m back for real this time! If you’re an old-timer, then yes, I’ve made some format changes. From now on each post will have five parts, with the side stories and premium/normal bonus stories standing alone, for better convenience and navigation. Each post will now have 7-9 screenshots across all five parts - plus the title screen, previews, and letters. Screenshots are now indicated by asterisks for less obstruction of the text.
I went back and revised my old translations of the main route, so it should be smoother and read better! I will be cleaning up events when i catch up.
Byron Wagner Episode 8 Part 6/10
(Hm…………)
A soft ray of sunlight fell on my eyelids, and when I slowly opened my eyes……
An unfamiliar ceiling filled my vision,
then I noticed the soft warmth of someone’s hand touching mine.
MC: “…Byron-sama.”
Next to me, Byron-sama was sleeping with his eyes closed.
(...I never thought the day would come when I would see him looking so vulnerable.)*
As I gazed at our hands still clasped together, a gentle warmth spread through my chest.
MC: "I don't want to let go of his hand....”
Byron: “…Well then, I guess you just shouldn't let go.”
MC: “……Byron-sama, did you wake up?”
Byron: “Your voice woke me up.”
Byron: "You look very happy this morning."
Byron-sama alternated his gaze between our clasped hands and my face, narrowing his eyes.
MC: “…It's the first time we’ve held hands like this for no reason.”
Byron: “…For no reason?”
MC: “The first time I held hands with Byron-sama was when we ran away from the reporters.”
-flashback-
Guard: “Put the cameras down! It’s rude.”
Press Reporter: “…!”
Alyn: “…Man, guys like that just won’t listen no matter what you say.”
Guard: “Alyn-dono!?”
Byron: “…This way.”
MC: “Byron-sama…?”
Byron: “Let’s go.”
-flashback ends-
Byron: “Ah, I remember.”
MC: “The second time was... when Byron-sama said in the ballroom that I was a prospective queen consort.”
-flashback-
Press Reporter: “Princess of Wysteria…!”
Press Reporter 2: “In response to that, could you please say a few words?”
MC: “……”
Byron: “Let's set aside a separate time to discuss the details."
Byron: “…Come.”
-flashback ends-
MC: “Both are precious memories to me..."
MC: “But I think it makes me incredibly happy to be able to hold hands like this for no particular reason.”
Byron: “If that's what you want, I'll take your hand as many times as you like.”
MC: “…I don't think I can let go.”
Byron: “That might not be a bad idea.”
Byron Wagner Episode 8 Part 7/10
Dropping a kiss on the back of my connected hand,
the color of Byron-sama’s eyes softened.
Byron: “But... I won't be able to change clothes like this.”
MC: "Yes… that's true.”
After we let go of each other’s hands, Byron-sama began putting on his shirt.…..
MC: “Kya…!”
There was a flutter of wings, and something large landed on Byron-sama’s shoulder.
(…White, owl?)
Byron: “Sorry for startling you, it looks like the cage door was open.”
MC: “I was surprised, but he’s very beautiful…”
Byron: “His name is Spinner.”*
MC: “Spinner, it’s nice to meet you.”
When I spoke to him, Spinner nodded his head as if he understood what I was saying.
Byron-sama gently placed Spinner in the cage, letting a smile play on his lips.
Byron: “Princess, would it be okay if I had you all to myself for one day today?”*
…………
***
After getting myself ready, I waited for Byron-sama in the corridor.
(I never thought I'd get to go on a date with Byron-sama.)
What Byron-sama suggested was, sending one day on a date in the town below the castle.
(I guess he remembered…)
-flashback-
Byron: “Next time, let's go out for something other than official duties.”
MC: “Huh…”
Byron: “You said that we only went out once."
Byron: “Both times were to inspect the town.”
-flashback ends-
Nico: “MC-sama, today you and I…”
Albert: “I’ll accompany you to the town myself.”
MC: “Nico, Albert…”
(Come to think of it, Nico used to live in Stein long ago.)
(These two must really be friends then… right?)
Perhaps sensing my gaze, Nico gave a little smile.
Nico: “Oh, Al. I accidentally let slip that I used to live in Stein long ago.”*
Albert: “Mmph……!”
Byron Wagner Episode 8 Part 8/10
Albert: “That’s why you acted like you were trying to hide something…”
Nico: “After thinking about it, there was no reason to keep it a secret forever.”
MC: “Well……”
Nico: “The relations between the two countries are only going to grow stronger from now on after all.”
MC: “Huh…?”
Nico: “Because you’ve decided to become an official prospective queen consort, right?”
Albert: “...Princess of Wysteria.”
Albert: “I haven’t recognized you as queen consort yet.”
Nico: “Regardless what happens, I’ll always be there for MC-sama no matter where she is.”
Nico smiled, taking my hand and resting his face against the back of it.
MC: “Nico…?”
Nico: “Well then, Princess? ...A kiss as a token of my loyalty.”
When Nico's lips almost touched the back of my hand.…..
Albert: “……That hand already belongs to Byron-sama!”*
Albert-san’s hand swatted Nico’s hand away.
Nico: “Oh come on, so you're admitting it after all. You really aren't very honest.”
Albert: “………”
(…Somehow, it makes me happy to see the two of them like this.)
The sight of the two was so endearing, a smile naturally slipped onto my face.
MC: “I look forward to working with you, Albert-san.”
Albert: “……….It can’t be helped.”*
Just then, Nico suddenly looked up.
Nico: “Oh, it looks like Byron-sama is here.”
…………
***
—On that day, the sky was surprisingly clear.
(Um…?)
MC: “Somehow, it feels like there are more people here than when I walked through the town before.”
Byron: “…...I guess your influence is big.”
As if answering my question with just a glance, Byron-sama turned his gaze toward the people walking down the street.
Byron: “Word gets around that you’re handling various official duties in Wysteria, even from a distance.”
Byron: “The connection with Wysteria also makes Stein a very open country.”
Byron: “More and more people have been visiting this country with that in mind.”*
Byron-sama’s gentle gaze was directed at me.
Byron: “Let me thank you, Princess.”
Byron Wagner Episode 8 Part 9/10
(…Honestly, I find these words so heartwarming.)
MC: “I hope more people will visit Stein… and Wysteria from now on.”
MC: “I want people to fall in love with each of our countries.”
(Just like how I fell in love with Wysteria.)
MC: “That’s all I can do.”
Byron: “It’s not just that.”
MC: “Huh…”
Byron: “This is a big deal to me.”
Byron: “I think the sight we see right now is proof of your sincerity.”
(.…..Why do Byron-sama’s words resonate so deeply with me?)
Option 1: Lower your gaze (correct option)
Option 2: Offer a smile
Option 3: Nod back
I was so happy, I lowered my gaze.
(I want to… remember this forever.)
Just then, a cheerful voice rang out from a short distance away.
Nico: “MC-sama, Byron-sama! There’s a delicious cake shop over here.”
When I turned my gaze, Nico was waving his hand in the distance.
Byron: “You should go. I’ll come after you soon.”
Albert: “Yes, you certainly can’t just run off.”
MC: “Then, I’ll go first.”
***
—When MC ran off, Byron’s expression suddenly turned grim.
Albert: “Byron-sama…?”
Byron: “The news that she has officially become a prospective queen consort will surely spread quickly throughout Stein, then to Wysteria.”
Byron: “You're worried about movement from ‘those people’. …Am I right?”*
Albert: “…….”
When Albert gasped, Byron announced in a low voice.
Byron: “There's no way you wouldn't be concerned.”
Byron: “…There hasn't been a single day when I've forgotten that desolate scene, that day.”
Albert: “…Yes.”
Byron: “I don't know what the House of Lords will do.”
Byron: “However, Albert.”
Byron Wagner Episode 8 Part 10/10
Byron gazed at the view of the town, speaking again as MC and Nico laughed in the distance.
Byron: “I love this country, and its people.”
Byron: “Let's protect the princess with our own hands.”*
Albert: “…Yes, Byron-sama.”
Byron let his stern expression fade, walking toward MC.
Albert gazed at that unwavering back, then followed after him.
***
—Before I knew it, the day had come to return to Wysteria……
MC: “Bye for now…”
Just as I started to say my goodbyes, Byron-sama’s deep voice echoed.
Byron: “Until your limited time as the princess ends…”
Byron: “How many days do you have remaining?”
(I'm pretty sure.…..)
MC: “There’s less than a month left.”
Byron: “…I see, then I guess I'll have to go give my greetings.”
MC: “Your greetings… meaning?”
Byron: “Ah, to His Majesty the King of Wysteria...”
Byron: "To let him know we would like to welcome the Princess of Wysteria as a prospective queen consort."
(Oh…)
When our eyes met, Byron-sama gave a gentle smile.
Byron: ”I'll go to Wysteria again soon.”
Byron: “Until then, can you wait?”
MC: “Yes, I'll wait for you.”
Byron: “…You could be a little more selfish.”
MC: “Huh…”
Byron: “There are times when I just wish you’d tell me to come quickly.”*
MC: “……I can’t say that.”
(But…)
MC: “I’m always looking forward to seeing your face again as soon as possible…”
***
—As MC and Byron were talking,
Nico and Albert were watching from a short distance away.
Nico: “MC-sama and Byron-sama both look happy.”
Albert: “...Why do you also look so happy?”
Nico: “Because MC-sama’s happiness is my happiness..."
Nico: “And Byron-sama’s happiness is also my happiness.”
Nico: “I thought it was the same for Al.”
Albert: “That is…….”
Just when Albert was about to say something,
the smile vanished from Nico’s face in an instant—
Nico: “……Al.”
Episode 9 Preview
Albert: “...No matter what happens, I’ll protect the two of you. That’s my top priority.”
When the two of us decided to marry, a sinister shadow began to stir around us—
Hello, everyone! I just wanted to give a heads up.
First of all, I have been going through the prologue and Byron’s main route again. The translations are much better and I think this will be the final version for me since I’m finally satisfied with it. Some things may be still worded somewhat awkwardly because of all the political and polite talk, but for the most part I say the translations are good to go. As of now, I am halfway done with Episode 3 and will be aiming for at least five parts a day. But you will know when I start posting new stuff again that the translations are complete, if you wish to read back on them.
Now, once I catch up with my old translations, I will be changing the format. Back when I first started translating, Tumblr had a word count per post on mobile, which is why I had done it part by part (and also so I could have photos per part). Now, that word count is pretty much non-existent. So from now on, starting with where I have left off, I will be putting 5 parts in one post, to allow wiggle room for the premier and normal bonus stories that take place in between. That will mean less photos, but at least it will be easier for me to post and more condensed for you to read through.
Remember, at some point I have a few parts missing of Byron’s route, so I will only translate up to when I reach the missing parts. Then when Byron’s route releases on the website, I will finish translating his route. In the meantime, if there is any time in between, I will be cleaning up the events I’ve posted as well as begin translating the events I haven’t gone through yet. I’m thinking I’ll do a poll to see what everyone wants first, because I have a lot on my backlog to go through.
But yes this time I’m officially back! I had lost motivation due to the missing parts and not being able to read all the other guys, but now that they’re finally here again, I will be on fire with this. Right now I have plenty of time since I’m recovering from an injury, but please note that I do currently work two jobs, and once I get back to work updates may slow, but since I’ve been translating faster lately I’m hoping that won’t be much of an issue.
Hello, everyone! I know, I know. I haven't been active.
But I have good news! Since MidCin and 100DP have reached their kickstarter goal for the Dreamoire website, I have regained motivation! I will be translating the main routes and Ever After sequels in MidCin, events, and all that remains of 100DP that I have not been able to finish as they are uploaded! I am going to start by going back on my old Byron main translations (with my better knowledge of Japanese), and then use the website for the stuff I had missed the first time around.
I'm all in for CYBIRD games coming back but they are such big clowns for asking for money to do the bare minimum??? Like, is this normal? Genuine question. I get this is a new product but they aren't new games. So why are we crowdfunding old stuff?
I'm torn between being happy and being mean. I hope they'll do the same for my beloved Ikemén Revolution when the time is right
