Leo/Foleo Support Translations

I hope the C Rank of this support chain clears up some of the confusion surrounding Foleo’s character! :D

Leo: Foleo. Are you making clothes again?

Foleo: !! Father… I-I’m sorry. I’ll put them away immediately…!

Leo: Why? You were in the middle of sewing them.

Foleo: Well… you don’t want to see it, do you? Me making women’s clothes, I mean…

Leo: That’s not true. It’s what you enjoy doing, isn’t it? I won’t deny it like I did before.

Foleo: Father…

Leo: You’re pretty skilled at this. I hope you could make some clothes for me some day, too.

Foleo: O-Of course…!

Leo: But when did you start sewing clothes? When you were young, all you ever did was read books.

Foleo: … It’s because you praised me, father. When I wore a dress as a child, you told me I looked cute.

Leo: Did… that really happen?

Foleo: Do you not remember? It was a small, frilly pink-and-white dress.

Leo: Ohh…! The summer dress that was handed down from Elise! You got it from the woman taking care of you, and you became very fond of it…

Foleo: Yes. I wore it out of curiosity, and then you praised me. I was so happy that the father whom I liked so much had recognized me. … that’s when I started making my own clothes.

Leo: I see…

Foleo: I knew wearing women’s clothes was an odd thing to do… but I kept thinking I wanted to wear lovelier and lovelier clothes, and be as cute as possible. I made a lot – a lot – of clothes. Whenever I put on a pretty dress and looked at myself in the mirror, I felt just like a princess from one of the fairytales I’d read… it made me forget about how lonely I felt, and about all the bad things that had ever happened to me.

Leo: Foleo…

Foleo: … before I noticed, I had became unable to stop making my own clothes, and then wearing them. Nor could I stop the cold looks I got from a certain someone…

Leo: … I’m sorry, Foleo. It sounds like I was the cause of this. And even so, I said such cruel things to you…

Foleo: No… it’s fine. You’ve recognized me the way I am now.

Leo: Yes. I have. And I’m thinking that… the person who will succeed me is you, Foleo.

Foleo: … yes. I’m glad. That I’m here now… it’s all thanks to you, father.

Leo: Foleo? So this is were you were.

Foleo: Father.

Leo: … did you often come to the church to pray like this?

Foleo: Yes. I’m praying that I won’t have to hurt too many people when fighting.

Leo: I see…

Foleo: … did you want something with me?

Leo: I said that I thought you’d be the one to succeed me earlier… so I wanted to discuss the future with you.

Foleo: By which you mean?

Leo: You know about my dark magic tome, correct?

Foleo: Brunhilde, yes?

Leo: Yeah. I was thinking I’d give it to you.

Foleo: Huh…?

Leo: Just like me, you hold great magic potential. Using a mighty tome like that should be no problem for you. If you’re successful, then I’m certain–

Foleo: … Father. Please let me think about this for a bit.

Leo: Why? You shouldn’t be hesitating. There’s no tome more powerful than Brunhilde.

Foleo: That’s exactly why.

Leo: Well, I suppose that makes sense, but…

Foleo: I want to live up to your expectations. I’m very happy you’ve acknowledged me as your successor… so… I don’t really know what to do.

Leo: …

Foleo: I’m sorry… please, give me some time.

Leo: I understand. I’ll think some about how to do things in accordance with what you want, too.

Foleo: … thank you.

Leo: Foleo. About Brunhilde… did you find your answer?

Foleo: No, not yet…

Leo: I see… I understand why you’re hesitating. You don’t want to hurt people if possible. If you really feel you can’t succeed me, then I won’t force you. … but why not think of it like this: if you possessed such great magical power, you’d be able to protect many people.

Foleo: … huh?

Leo: If you have no means of protecting others… then there are plenty of groups who’ll take advantage of that fact, and more often than not, things will end in a disaster. But if you had better means to protect people, they’d be less likely to attack not only you, but your companions as well. The end result is that you stop the fight before it begins.

Foleo: But that’s… if the enemy is scared of my strength, won’t that just cause me to get reckless…?

Leo: That may be true… just as you say, it’s a double-edged sword. But so long as the person making use of the tome makes no mistakes, things won’t go awry.

Foleo: Maybe you’re right…

Leo: I believe in you. I know you’ll use Brunhilde to do the right thing, Foleo. You understand the people’s pain, and you’re kind-hearted… I’m certain you’ll be a much better match for it than I ever was.

Foleo: Father…

Leo: “Strength” isn’t always an evil thing. The evil comes from people who use their strength for the wrong reasons. I’ve never forgotten that, and always looked for a solution to the question of what I should do with the power I’ve been given – what kind of thing I should be allowed to do. This magic that rules over the land, over gravity, and over life’s very existence… as Brunhilde’s successor, I’d like you to think upon it as well, Foleo.

Foleo: … I won’t say I’ll be able to do it right away. But… I understand what you’re saying, father. One day, once both my mind and body have become adult… and when it’s gotten to the point that you wish to entrust things to me… when that time comes, please give me Brunhilde.

Leo: Foleo…!

Foleo: Once the time is right… I think I’d like to walk the same path you did. To have the same strength, and ponder it in the same manner. To protect people, and save them from strife.

Leo: Thank you, Foleo. I’ll be looking forward to that day.
