Recruiting Lutz (translation)

Paralogue:

Loneliness, Lies and Delight

Lutz: Hey, Michel. Listen here…

Even though I’m waiting for dad all the time… he never comes to visit me.

I’m really lonely…

Michel: *dragon noise*

Lutz: Eh? Michel… are you comforting me?

Michel: *excited dragon noise*

Lutz: Thanks, Michel. You’re such a smart dragon…

I won’t cry anymore.

…That’s right. I’ve got Michel.

Alright, it’s decided.

Until now I’ve listened to my dad and spent all my time here but…

I won’t do what I’m told anymore! Let’s go, Michel!

Harold: Kuh…! Where are you, Lutz! Lutz~~~~!!

This can’t be! My beloved child, missing!

…Obu!? Something came falling from the sky!!

This is… wyvern droppings!?

Lutz: …………

Harold: Lutz! Where were you!? Suddenly leaving the unexplored region like that…

Did you get lost on the way? If so, you don’t have to worry anymore, dad’s here now!

In any case, it’s been a while. You look different, you’ve grown so much…

Lutz: …………

Harold: Mh? What’s wrong, Lutz? You haven’t said a word…

If something’s troubling you I’ll give you advice.

Lutz: I hate you!

Harold: Wh-wh!?

Lutz: A father who never comes to see me… I hate you!

Showing up now after all this time is late… it’s too late!!

Uwaaaaaan!!!!!

Harold: Wait, Lutz! What’s all this about…

…!?

Mercenary: You… chasing that little kid around, just what are you doing!?

Harold: Eh, no, you see, I’m just running after my son…

Mercenary: Who are you anyway. I haven’t seen you around here before.

Harold: I’m the Hero of Justice… Harold!! By no means am I someone suspicio-

Mercenary: …hn? You, you’re Gazakku aren’t you!?

Harold: Wrong!

I just told you right now that I am-

the one crushing evil and protecting the weak, I am everyone’s ally, Harold!

Mercenary: What? However that face… no matter how I look at it, you’re the head of the bandits, Gazakku!

Harold: Uhh well that is… Honestly, you’re mistaken…

That’s right, I’ll show you some proof…!

Lutz: Go get him, Mr. Mercenary! That’s right, this man is Gazakku!

Harold: Wh-wh, Lutz!? You, what are you…!?

Mercenary: Let’s go, Gazakku! Today’s the day I’ll catch you!

Harold: No wayyyyyyyyyyy!?

Cyrus: Haa… what is he doing. He really has no luck at all.

No choice… Everyone, we’ll back him up!

[BATTLE]

Lutz: Dad and his friends too… I hate them all!

(after beating up your friend’s literal child, you monster):

Lutz: I’m… sorry…

[BATTLE END]

——————————–



Lutz: Uu… *sniff* *sniff*…

Hic…

Harold: Lutz… I’m sorry for having made you feel lonely.

I’m apologizing for everything so far from the bottom of my heart. I won’t do it again…

From now on, let’s always be together.

Lutz: Eh?

That means… dad will stay here in the unexplored region too?

Harold: Mh~ no, just the opposite.

We’ll leave the unexplored region and fight together. In this army.

Lutz: Dad… are you being serious…?

Harold: Yeah.

Lutz: Uu…!

Uwawaaaaaaaaaaaan!!

Harold: Wh-wh, wh-, what’s wrong? You don’t want to?

Lutz: It’s not that. I’m just happy…

That’s because… in reality… I love my dad!

Hearing you say you want me to come with you makes me happy! It makes me so happyyy!

Harold: Lutz…

Michel: *dragon noise*

Harold: …n!? What, Michel, are you that furious!?

Gyaaaaaa!!

Lutz: Eeh!? Michel! Why are you biting him!?

It’s not that he made me cry! Dad didn’t do anything bad!

Harold: Owowowowow! Michel won’t let go!

Lutz, you gotta explain it to him more!

Lutz: Michel! I’m not sad I’m happy!

From now on I can live in the outside world! And of course, Michel, you’re coming too!

Michel: *surprised dragon noise*

Lutz: …ah, he let go! You’re a good boy, aren’t you Michel!

Harold: Whoa… I thought I was gonna die.

Lutz: Thank you, dad! For saying it’s ok for us to come.

From now on, I’ll do my best! To become a Warrior of Justice, just like you!

Harold: Lutz…! You said that well!

Then, let’s aim for justice and fight together! For the peace of this world!

Lutz: Yeah!

Cyrus: …that’s good.

For a while I was worried how this would turn out… But, somehow, this all seems to have concluded now.

However, I hope they won’t repeat a big family fight like this in the future.
