!!!TRANSLATIONS ARENT 100% CORRECT SINCE I DONT KNOW JAPANESE!!!!!
With the blue sky overhead, mixed with the engine sound of the motorcycle, the sound of the cutting wind resounds in your ears.
Crow: Emma hold on!
Emma: y-yeah!
On the arm around Crow's belly astride the bike, i put my strength in. As it was a signal Crow's engine is still burning! And at the same time, from behind I heard the sound of several motorcycles.
Man 1: Hey! Wait!
Man 2: Don't run away you two!
Man 3: Give me the treasure!
The men who relentlessy fired at me from behind were, in any way, not the man of the shadows.
Crow: Haha! Are these guys real?
Emma: Woah! This isnt the right time to laugh!
Emma: (thinking) Why are this happening?
Flashback......
Grandflare: Do you really want to join us in our search?
Emma: Yeah everyone seems pretty busy I have to become useful as guild keeper as soon as possible. The best way to get used to it its partecipate in a hands-on experience or an exploration
Itsuki: you are overflowing with energy
Crow: Haha, more than anything else, we are reliable. Of course you are welcome,right? Hey Gran-
Grandflare: if so there is an affordable on. Why dont you go with Crow?
I was excited inside. Gran spread out the commission on the table.
Grandflare: it has sparkle that seems to contain flames inside. They asking for a recovery of a rare ore, brucket cooper.
Grandflare: But I received a call that it was in a cave...
Emma: Are we have a problem?
Itsuki: the problem is where the cave is...
Crow: right there, they are famous for their cowardice
Grandflare: They are pretty belligerent. One person is not a big deal,but there are many.
Emma: i see
Emma: its cash though. When you hear rare things, you obviusly be interested.
Crow: That's how it is. It shine like a flame
Crow: if you say that. Its obvius that you want to see it.
Emma:But...if its such dangerous place. How do you get it back?
Crow: of course we have to get in. You dont have to worry
Itsuki: Sure. Its true that we can actually do something with Crow
Grandflare:After all Crow's luck is proven
Emma: luck?
Itsuki: yeah, if its a little mirror shot or a falling rock, it wont hit him.
Emma: is that so? Its so reassuring!
Crow: Well anyway its Emma's first job in tsukiwatari
Crow: let's do it together!
Return to present
And so when we find the less ore, although it was easy to pick it up...we are bumping into a problem on the way home....this is rather bad luck?
Crow: These guys are more persistant than i throught
Crow: Oh lucky! We shortcut from there!!!
Crow puts on the brake and changes the destination of the motorcycle. There was a steep cliff ahead
Emma: from there?
Crow turn his face back and looked at me with squinted eyes.
Crow: Emma, Hold on!
Emma: Im telling you?Wait,wait,wait!?
I tried my best to raise my voice. The momentum of the bike never stopped
Crow: Woooo!!!
The sky beyond Crow's back...this is the first time that I see it from this close.
The memory felt faint to him; the day Crow first held you inside his arms. the day he met you.
You gazed at him with those big and surprised eyes of yours, and just the thought of all of that makes him smile in indifference.
He felt at ease when your grip on his waist was tight, his heartbeat racing as the blowing wind attempts to ease his hot temperature. taking you on rides in his motorbike was a blast, but also an excuse, of some sort.
With the other four always occupying your presence, he barely felt your eyes on him. it's such a strange feeling, y'know? he resists the urge to chuckle dryly.
The way Gran cupped your face lovingly, how you gaped at Itsuki with fondness, how you laughed at Rouge's tackiness, or how you went on night strolls with Noah..
He wanted to erase all of it, and if he couldn't, he needed to cool his head off. he wondered what was wrong with him. it's not like.. he was disapproving your relationship with everyone. no, he didn't have the right to. You're not some precious treasure a guy like him could hog all to himself. you were free, free of your own will. it's your choice who you hang-out with, who you rely on.
He stops in his stances, your voice calling out to him with worry. He flashes a grin. He had no chance, it hurts, but he didn't feel that flaming confidence to make you happy like they all do.

Itsuki felt lightheaded, feeling his tail wiggle rapidly as you stroke his ears gently. he talked to you about.. this, other side of himself. and before he knew it, his head was already laying on your lap, eyes shut tight as he enjoyed your warmth.
It became a routine, he supposed. you'd ready books together, talk about the things you did in the past, your interests in moonroad..
He might as well feel like a pet, begging attention from its master. he liked this time of the day, with you.. no, that was a lie. he loved it. but, just the thought of getting caught by the others in this situation..
He wonders why you do this. why you're so kind and caring to him, while he has done nothing for you. all he did was accept your touches, your sweet yet sincere words.. it's like they say, 'give back what one has received'.
So maybe.. if he did the same thing to you, would you feel at ease, as well?
He'd like to stroke your hair until you fall asleep, if that's what you'd like. he wanted to make you feel safe with him than he is with you. is he.. allowed to do all of that for you?
Of course, as.. fellow comrades.
But neither did Crow, nor Gran, or Rouge and Noah did the things you do, even though they're also what he calls 'fellow comrades'.
Itsuki wanted to ask Navi. about what was different about you, and everyone else. yes.. that's a good idea. maybe, he might find clues about this.
ー 𝙶𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚛
Gran longed for smiling faces, flowers, and sunny days. it was his ideal, the best scenery in all of sceneries.
And the front seat to that unreachable landscape was right in front of him.
Your bright smile, rivaling that big round ball up on the sky, the flowers you were holding bloomed with vivid hues.
All he could do was gape at you. He.. wanted to paint this, so, so badly.
Was he perhaps reacting too dramatically? maybe. you were saying something to him, but he couldn't hear you. his chest was beating too fast he didn't know what kind of eerie face he might be making right now.
He wanted to see this terrain once again. but in order for that to happen, he needs to protect you.
All he needed to do was that. and if it fulfills.. would you give him the same joy and laughter someday?
ー 𝚁𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚎
Rouge knows he's hopeless. always asking Gran for money, drinking alcohol when he gets the chance.. and being that hopeless jerk gave him the best mates he could ever ask for.
The same thought kept on repeating on the back of his mind when you appear in front of him. I mean, what an angel. you weren't mean to him like Noah, and you laughed at his jokes genuinely. yet you also scolded him for being too reckless sometimes. and can he be honest here, right now? he finds that part of you absolutely endearing.
'Sometimes sweet, sometimes hard.'
He feels like god was favored of him. I mean, he's aware he has good-looks, a nice singing voice, though he probably wasn't getting a lover any time soon, with his personality and all.
He kinds of feel bad for the person who'd become his partner. I mean, he's a troublemaker. even mommy Gran can't keep him in check. his unreadable, always going where the wind calls him.. so, Rouge is already aware that no one can understand him, keep up with him.
Nobody can.
Until.. well, you came.
Waking up with a warm blanket covering him from coldness, the once dirty table filled with bottles of alcohol were gone, clean and sparkly. pain reliever, warm water were the only things in front of him. and beside that, was you, in a deep slumber.
Aha, he must've been a messy mess again. but, howcome you knew he was here? he didn't tell anyone about where he was going.
He brushes this off. oh well. he stands in front of you and wraps the blanket on you, leaning your head on his shoulders. what a cutie. you must've been worried about him.
Maybe he should try and be more mature and reliable sometimes.
Noah would definitely give him a deep scowl. just the thought of it makes him grin.
ー 𝙽𝚘𝚊𝚑
Korokuru sleeps under your touch, the small, fluffy one looking peaceful as ever.
Noah apologizes, and thanks you for looking after him. usually, his friend of his wouldn't be buddy-buddy with anyone besides him. which is why it confuses him as to why it's different when it's you.
Noah despises humans. well, this factor should be obvious since he spoke to you about this matter in the beginning. of course, everyone in Tsukiwatari are different but..
The same sense he felt in humans than you was also different. a mystery, really.
Just being with you made him feel like he had nothing to be worried of. the chirping birds came by and greeted you, and the night sky felt brighter than day time.
He sighs. you really were a mystery.
But that was also a conclusion.. but it's not like he's fully trusted you like he does with Korokuru. he admits that you're one of his important comrades, but.. it's nothing more than that..! ..okay?
Though.. he enjoys nights with you like this. you'd come by tomorrow too, right?
