Track 4:

Spoiler for Track 4:

Albireo: Somehow or another, the competition ended. As we returned to our hotpot (nabe) to eat once more, we held rehearsals so that Nagi could practice his confession to Princess Arika.

Eishun: Jeez, you sure can eat a lot!
Nagi: I got hungry ‘cause of our showdown.
Rakan: Yo Nagi, imagine/pretend I’m the Princess and start practicing your confession on me.
Nagi: Stop asking for the impossible!
Rakan: Hah, A promise is a promise! Unless you’re going to break your promise made between men.
Nagi: Urk…
Rakan: Well!?
Nagi: … Prin… Princess… I like you…
Rakan: Hey you hear this guy?! *Princess, I like you* Listen to this guy!
Eishun: In all seriousness, that confession was way too blunt/unromantic, it didn’t make any sort of impact.
Gateau: Hm, no impact at all.
Albireo: It was also way too flat/unemotional and stuttering too.
Zecht: You haven’t put a single iota of your feelings in those words.
Takamichi: Nagi-san, please put more effort into this (practice more seriously will you?)
Nagi: Damn it, saying whatever the hell you want.
Rakan: Man, you’re such a kid/brat. It’s the Princess we’re talking about here, be more romantic (or ‘use more romantic words’) damn it!
Nagi: How the hell am I supposed to do that?! Show me, you stupid jerk!
Rakan: Fine, I’ll show ya! Hm, let’s see. *cough* Princess, I want to be your knight forever more/for the rest of my life. Something like that.
Nagi: Hahaha, that stinks! That seriously stinks… right?
Eishun: Actually, that was quite moving…
Takamichi: Yeah.
Albireo: It was wonderful…
Nagi: You gotta be kidding me?!
Rakan: Got it! Acknowledge/Behold my manliness!
Zecht: Now Nagi, follow Rakan’s example and practice!
Nagi: Erg, even you Master?
Zecht: Go on!
Nagi: Prin… Princess, I… I want to be … your knight… forever more/for the rest of my life.
All: *Laughs*
Rakan: *Your knight* he says!
Nagi: You bastards! I’ll beat the crap/kill you all!
Rakan: What did you say!? You wanna start something!
Nagi: Why the hell do I have to confess to that scary woman in the first place?! Gah, I can’t take this anymore.
Zecht: Hey where are you going?
Nagi: I started sweating weird, so I’m going to wash it off.
Eishun: That’s the first time I’ve seen Nagi so dejected.
Rakan: Seriously, that guy has honesty issues. Hey Eishun!
Eishun: Hm?
Rakan: Before Nagi gets back here, make another hotpot (nabe) with this water.
Eishun: What is that water?
Rakan: Hehehe, it is water from the lake of truth!
Eishun: Water from the Lake of Truth?
Zecht: Oh, those who drink the legendary water from the Lake of Truth are said to be unable to speak any sort of lie/must speak the truth for a spell.
Albireo: I see, if we use this water on him, we can make Nagi to speak truthfully about his feelings.
Nagi: Wow that felt great.
Rakan: Nagi’s back, come on Eishun.
Eishun: Got it.
Rakan: Welcome back Nagi, sorry about what happened.
Nagi: Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden? It’s creepy.
Rakan: Have some nabe (hotpot) and forget about what happened.
Nagi: Wow, hotpot’s (nabe) great as always. Huh? You aren’t having any Jack?
Rakan: Naw, I’m full. Anyways, how are you feeling?
Nagi: Huh? How I feel? Well, I’m pretty full now and all of a sudden I seriously want to speak honestly about everything.
Albireo: Heh, it seems the water of truth has taken effect quite quickly.
Takamachi: Yeah. Even Nagi’s eyes have changed; they look so open/honest
Nagi: Hey, you two! What are you whispering about?
Takamachi: Oh, nothing…
All: Heheh
Nagi: What the heck is up with you guys? But man, I seriously want to talk honestly about everything.
Rakan: Keep it up Nagi! Keep talking til you spill all your guts out.
Eishun: Yup, let’s keep on talking!
Gateau: And I bet you’ve got a lot of stuff you’ve been holding back too.
Rakan: Start squealing Nagi.
Nagi: Er, I don’t where to even begin! Oh, it’s so hard!
Rakan: You’re such a difficult jerk, here eat some more! If you eat more, you’ll talk more honestly!
Nagi: URK, I can’t eat all of that that in one gulp!
Albireo: Is it all right if we force him to eat that much?
Zecht: Who knows?
Rakan: If make him eat a lot, he’ll start talking more. Now eat! Eat more!
Nagi: Erg, damn it! Now I really really want to shout out whatever I want honestly!
Rakan: GOOD! Well then, let’s start Nagi, so how do you feel about the Princess?
Nagi: Huh? The Princess?
Rakan: Yeah! How do ya feel about her?
Nagi: How I feel? She’s seriously not cute!
Rakan: Huh? Um, you don’t think she’s cute?
Nagi: Well to be honest…
Rakan: To be honest…
Takamichi: Oh, I wonder what Nagi-san will say, how exciting.
Rakan: Sh, stop ya chattering. So Nagi, what are your thoughts.
Nagi: Well, if she keeps quiet and acts normal, she’s really cute.
Rakan: Yeah, that’s right! So you do think she’s cute right?!
Nagi: Well of course, she’s so cute, so cute you can’t help yourself!
All: Oh!
Zecht: He said it!
Albireo: He said it all right!
Gateau: As expected from the water of truth.
Takamichi: Amazing!
Rakan: And, and she’s so cute that you can’t help yourself and???
Nagi: Well, she’s so cute that you can’t help yourself but ya know, she’s always so terse and rough. And with her cold scary attitude, it’s not surprising that no guy would ever want to get anywhere near her. Did you know when she went out to go shopping, she bought the weirdest/most useless stuff (not able to hear well, it could also ‘bought lots and lots expensive stuff) and used me as her gofer boy/luggage boy (alt trans: made me carry all the purchases for her)
Eishun: Hey, hey, don’t you think, things are starting to turn for the worst here?
Takamichi: It’s starting to turn nasty…
Rakan: Yeah, looks like things are starting to fall apart. Yo Nagi, we know how you feel now. Why don’t ya just…
Nagi: Shut up and listen! I’ve got plenty of things to say here!
Rakan: Er, I got it! Sorry!
Takamichi: What an astonishing transformation from the water of truth!
Nagi: Anyways, no matter how kind/gentle I’m with that Princess, she gets all huffy and quick to start hitting/slapping! Why the heck is that flat chested woman…
Takamichi: URK! Nagi-san!
Nagi: What?
Takamachi: Be… Behind you…
Nagi: Huh?
Arika: Sorry… for… being… flat chested!
All: AH!
Rakan: Princess, when… when did you arrive?
Nagi: Why the heck are you here? Could it be… that you overheard something that I really shouldn’t have said?
Eishun: Oh? It seems the effects of the water of truth…
Takamichi: Have disappeared.
Zecht: So it seems…
Arika: Seriously, as soon as I turn my back on you… What are you doing here?!
Rakan: Er, well, you see…
Eishun: We can’t tell her, can we? That we were having Nagi practice his confession…
Gateau: Yeah, we can’t tell her…
Arika: What can’t you tell me?
Nagi : Nothing, nothing at all. Oh yes Princess, are you hungry!? Please, have some hotpot (nabe)!
Arika: H-hotpot?
Eishun: A dish from the Old World country Japan, it’s called ‘hotpot’.
Arika: Okay… It does look delicious; well allow me to partake a bit then.
Takamichi: Ah, is it all right though? It’s hotpot made with the water of truth…
Eishun: This development is most definitely not good…
Zecht: Oh relax, it promises to be entertaining/interesting.
Nagi: Now eat Princess!
Arika: Oh, okay… Hm! It’s delicious! Uh, may I ask why everyone is looking at me so intently?
Eishun: Um, well, I guess you could say we’re a bit surprised that the Princess would enjoy a commoner meal like this.
Takamichi: In any case, how do you feel?
Arika: Hm, I feel wonderful! I am a happy woman! Hahaha!
Takamichi: Um, her personality has changed…
Albireo: Could this be an effect from the water of truth?
Zecht: Hm, without a doubt.
Rakan: If that’s the case… She’ll answer anything we ask honestly.
Gateau: It’s a little scary to ask though…

Albireo: And so the Princess began speak thusly without noticing…

Arika: Listen well! The peace of Magica Mundus/this world rests upon on your hands! Not one you can die in this, all you must live/survive this so that one day we can all have hotpot together! You are the saviours of this world but most importantly, my greatest treasure!
Nagi: Princess…
Eishun: Your Royal Highness…
Nagi: You really do have your cute moments…
Arika: Hm, oh? What was I saying a moment ago?
Albireo: Oh um well…
Takamichi: It seems the effects of the water of truth have broken.
Zecht: Yes, but it’s great that we heard her speak so honestly.
Nagi: Princess, you said something unusually good to us.
Arika: What do you mean said something ‘unusually’ good? More importantly, Nagi, Rakan why are you two so filthy?
Nagi: Er? Well this…
Rakan: We were having a little competition, right Nagi?
Nagi: Right, a little one!
Arika: You two are comrades, why would comrades need to compete/challenge each other?
Rakan: Well, you see, we were competing to make Nagi confess (to the Princ..)…
Nagi: Nothing, nothing at all.
Arika: Oh never mind that, but now your body is all dirty. As my knight, this will not do (this is unbecoming of my knight). As a bonus/surprise, I shall wash your body for you.
Nagi: Huh?
Arika: No need to be shy, now take off your clothing!
Nagi: Wha-, urk, sto-
Arika: Oh come now, start stripping!
Nagi: AH!!

Albireo: And so that night became a night that we could never forget. This also became the last time Ala Rubra spent together as a whole (bad translation). The reason being, in the morning following we began our first battle with Cosmo Entelecheia. We held this warm unforgettable memory close to our hearts.
