All right folks, here is another Takumi Warriors support. So long as I get no other requests, I will continue translating Takumi’s supports (his wsupport with Lyn already being line up) before moving on to Sakura. We’ll see where I go from there.

Anyway, so this support is something I always wanted to see, which is why it’s a bit sad it’s so similar to Takumi‘s support with Ryouma. At least we get more background fluff on Marx. Also, an important thing to note that I tried (but probably failed) to get across here:

Takumi is being extra polite to Marx here. He essentially switches to standard, text-book Japanese here, something I don’t recall him doing any other time. Guess he is just nervous haha.





Takumi: Out of 100, only 70 arrows hit the mark… Damn it, I still haven’t trained enough. So long as I don’t get stronger, no one is going to recognize me.

Marx: Prince Takumi. You certainly show a lot of enthusiasm, training here until dusk. Still, you shouldn’t overdo it. Can you not continue this tomorrow? How about getting some rest?

Takumi: No, I simply have to get stronger. I realize you are only concerned for me, but please let it go.

Marx: If you continue any longer, you won’t be able to concentrate. It would be best if accept that and go to sleep.

Takumi: Of course, you are already so strong, so it’s easy for you to say that. I have to reach your level as soon as I can. There is simply no way I can afford to rest.

Marx: Hm, so you are saying I am strong, Prince Takumi? I see, that’s how I appear to be now. However, when I was your age, I also went about my training quite recklessly.

Takumi: Eh, you too? That’s quite a surprise…

Marx: Yes. The excessive training put a huge strain on my body… I became unable to even hold up my sword, and so my skills naturally regressed. In time, my body was covered in bandages, which made my siblings terribly worried.

Takumi: To think someone like you would make a mistake like that…

Marx: Yes. And there’s more. When I was a child, I ended up wandering into the Nohrian forest as a challenge. It is a place infested with Faceless. I soon lost my way in the darkness, spending the whole day wandering aimlessly. When I finally returned, I was harshly rebuked by my father. Why did I do something so reckless? For the same reason as you, Prince Takumi. I put myself through the most extreme training because I could not wait to get strong. That’s why I truly understand your eagerness. However, you need to restrict your training to an appropriate level.

Takumi: Prince Marx… but I.. I simply have to continue training if I ever want to be strong.

Marx: Heh. You are just as stubborn as me back then. In that case… how about I watch over you as you train?

Takumi: Ehh?? You would watch me train, Prince Marx?

Marx: If you keep training so recklessly, you are not going to gain the strength you desire. You need to keep looking ahead of you, while working to improve at a steady pace. I can give you advice on how to do that. You will be more successful that way compared to training on you own.

Takumi: I see. I would be much obliged.

Marx: Feel free to rely on me anytime. After all, I can already tell you won’t let this go any time soon.

Takumi: Thank you very much, Prince Marx. Although… I can’t promise you won’t come to regret your offer once I surpass you.

Marx: I will deal with that when the time comes. I have no intention of falling behind as you continue to grow.

Takumi: Hehe… Yes, I understand. I will do my best. One day, I am certain to surpass even you!
