1. On the day of 11/4/2015 in royal history,
2. the country remained in a state of disarray.
4. "THE EMPIRE'S TROOPS ARE CONTINUING THEIR ADVANCE."
5. "THEY WILL REACH OUR COUNTRY'S BORDER WITHIN A FEW DAYS AT MOST."
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Get down from there!"
2. "You can't be up here!"
3. "Let me go!"
4. "...gh!"
5. "What's happening at the border?!"
6. "Prince thane! Is there something you need?"
7. "They will arrive in a few days."
8. "It is as it seems..."
9. "Our forces are engrossed with keeping the peace as the nobles establish their administration."
10. "That would be difficult."
11. "Are we able to send our own soldiers to the border?"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "I can't do that!"
2. "Dole's the one leading the provisional government, right?"
3. "I'll go talk with him!"
4. "What kind of royal would I be if I stood by during a national crisis?!"
5. "PRINCE THANE, YOU'RE STILL IN RECOVERY."
6. "PERHAPS YOU SHOULD RETURN TO THE ABBEY AND REST."
7. "Grand Chamber-lain!"
8. "LEAVE THE REST TO THE ADULTS,"
9. "AND RETURN TO YOUR ROOM, YOUR HIGHNESS."
10. "PRINCE THANE,"
11. "PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"
12. "PLEASE, STOP!"
13. "IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO INTO THE CITY!"
14. "...Hey."
1. The royals were flustered.
2. To swiftly bring the disorder to a close, the royals had no choice but to hasten Thane's ascension to the throne.
3. Even if they were to become the nobles' puppets,
4. they had no choice but to lend their royal status to that of the Provisional Government, for the alternative...
5. "GRAND CHAMBERLAIN!"
6. "WE'VE RECEIVED A LETTER."
7. "FROM WHO?"
1. "Um,"
2. "About that..."
3. "And a portion of the protests have grown violent..."
4. "Both parties have refused to cede a single step to the other."
1. This isn't the time or place to be stuck in a family quarrel, and yet...
2. "We're out of time."
3. "Y-yes, thank you..."
4. "How does a short break sound?"
5. "Tea for you."
6. "...I've calmed down."
7. "I happen to love you, too!"
8. "Oho? What a coincidence!"
9. "I truly love this tea you brew."
1. "Vwat hurtsh, Mish Cwaire!"
2. "Who and what came over you the other day to make you run away from my confession?!"
3. "YOU USED TO JOKE AROUND LIKE THAT CONSTANTLY, AND YET..."
4. "IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE HEARD YOU SPEAK LIKE THAT, HASN'T IT?"
5. "I'M SORRY!"
6. "WHEN THINGS CALM DOWN A LITTLE, I'LL BE SURE TO RESPOND PROPERLY TO WHAT YOU SAID THEN!"
7. "SO, PLEASE... WON'T YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE TIME?"
1. "YES! I SWEAR TO GOD!"
2. "peace!"
3. "...YOU MUST."
4. "Well in my eyes, God'll always come second to you, Miss Claire!"
5. "I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE, YOUR PROMISES TO GOD ARE AS UNRELIABLE AS THEY COME!"
6. "MISS CLAAAIRE!!"
7. "This isn't the time to be saying that!"
8. "IT'S A QUIET COMFORT AT THIS POINT."
9. "RIGHT ON TIME, AS ALWAYS."
1. "...?"
2. "What's wrong, you two...?"
3. "Please, hurry!"
4. "By the gates!"
5. "...!!"
1. "The protests have made it all the way over to the academy?!"
2. "Impossible!"
3. "We need help putting down the protest!"
4. "They're breaking through the gate!"
5. "Commander!"
6. "Rae taylor!"
7. "Miss claire!"
1. ""Putting down," you say..."
2. "Get down, miss claire!"
3. "Hey...!"
4. "It could be catastrophic if people were injured!"
5. "No, no, it's nothing!"
6. "Thank you, pepi."
7. "Those with air and water, please carefully remove the people from the gates without injury!"
8. "Those with an earth attribute, work to strengthen the gate's barricade!"
1. "......"
2. "I, with my fire attribute, can do nothing to..."
3. "We don't have the time to target everyone individually!"
4. "HITTING THEM WITH WATER SEEMS TO BRING THEM BACK TO THEIR SENSES!"
5. "GWAA!"
1. "Even if we make an earth wall, they'll break through it."
2. "Ggh..."
3. "EVEN COMMONERS CAN USE MAGIC."
4. "OF COURSE."
5. "...!"
1. Miss Lilly...
2. ...could it be?
3. "When I give the signal, cast your water magic into the sky!"
4. "Everyone with a water attribute, listen up!"
1. "NOW!"
2. "Miss Claire!"
3. "Y- YES?"
4. "Pierce the water magic with your Flame Lance!"
5. "U- UNDERSTOOD!"
6. "FLAME LANCE!"
1. "Rain..!?"
1. ...SO THAT'S WHY THE RAIN HAD A FAINT SCENT TO IT.
2. THIS MAGIC TOOL INTENDED FOR INCENSE WOULD DO QUITE NICELY.
3. EITHER WAY, TAKING THE TIME TO DOUSE EVERYONE WITH WATER MAGIC INDIVIDUALLY WOULD BE INEFFICIENT. WITH THAT IN MIND, IF THE PERPETRATOR WAS LOOKING FOR MAGIC WITH A WIDER AREA-OF-EFFECT...
4. "Alright, everybody, head on home! Bye bye!"
5. That type of stuff's her specialty.
6. It was Miss Lilly.
7. "When you say 'a member of the Revolutionary Government', do you mean..."
8. "Rae,"
9. "IF I HAD TO GUESS..."
10. "...MISS CLAIRE,"
1. The revolutionary government assembles those looking for rations,
2. This isn't just happening at the academy.
3. Pulls the same stunt to drive them mad,
4. And with that, they're able to launch surprise revolts all across the country simultaneously.
5. "...!"
6. "And without a doubt, they're aiming for..."
7. "With a method like that, just what could they be aiming for...?!"
1. KINDLING.
2. "They've even brought armaments!"
3. "These guys..."
4. "We're standing against our countrymen!"
5. "Don't go on the offensive!"
6. "We must not allow them to get hurt!"
1. "Dieee!"
2. "Soldiers are human."
3. "They're a symbol of protection for the people."
4. "When confronted with a verbal assault, it's only natural that some will turn towards violence."
5. "Sure enough, it only becomes a matter of how long they can hold out..."
1. "What does violence stand to resolve?!"
2. "Keep your calm!"
3. "Huh?"
4. "Oh..."
5. "N- NO..."
6. "but it seems like I was doin' something real rude."
7. "S-Sorry, I can't really remember much,"
8. "Wasn't I just eating lunch...?"
9. "YOU'RE OF SOUND MIND NOW, SO-"
10. "IT'S ALRIGHT."
1. "There's no chance that the troops come into conflict in the immediate."
2. "...or that's what I would say, if not for their stubborn devotion."
3. "If we were to seed the provisional government's militia with members from our own forces,"
4. "So, with our presumption in mind,"
1. "AND DESTROY THEM FROM THE INSIDE..."
2. "THE SOLDIERS CUT A MAN TO PIECES!"
3. "KYAAAAAA!"
4. "I authorize the use of armaments in quelling this uprising!"
5. "This is an order from the Knight Commander!"
6. "You are free to turn your swords to the people!"
1. "I apologize for not getting your approval before its execution."
2. "...and that's the long and short of my proposed battle strategy."
3. "Was it to your liking?"
1. "Argh!..."
2. "Agh..."
3. "It allowed us to take out the remainder of your forces within our base in one fell swoop."
4. "I apologize for the surprise attack against your most trusted retainers."
5. "...you read my moves, then."
6. "We're cutting ties with the empire."
7. "Before any more blood is spilled,"
1. "Salas,"
2. "You are no longer a part of the revolutionary government, effective immediately."
3. "It's tragically painful, isn't it?"
4. "To be betrayed by the friends that one believes in like this..."
1. "YOU THINK THE SAME, DON'T YOU?"
2. "Wha-"
3. "had a suggestion placed on..."
4. "you three..."
5. "Imposs-ible..."
6. "...AND THUS, THE LAST OBSTACLE IN OUR PATH HAS BEEN FELLED."
1. "Now for the finishing touch."
1. In year 2015 of the kingdom's history,
2. on the eleventh day of the eleventh month,
3. the protests escalated into an armed conflict between both militias.
1. The newspapers of the time gave the edge in the conflict to the Revolutionary Government's forces,
2. and reported that the majority of the Provisional Government's forces came to support the Revolutionary Government.
1. what I can do is...
2. If it's come to this,
3. "How can this be happening?"
4. "...Impossible."
1. I must not give up hope...
2. ...remember that no matter the time or place,
3. "It won't help."
4. "Rae!"
5. "We must seek an audience with prince thane, and-"
6. "Huh...?"
7. The majority of the provisional government's soldiers transferred to the revolutionary government.
8. Because of the significant backing that the revolutionary government has,
1. "The crown fears an invasion from the empire,"
2. "And decided that the best choice is to pursue the quickest avenue in resolving the country's internal discord."
3. "Right now, the empire's forces are making their way to the border."
4. "This motion is not by the orders of Prince Thane, but by the entirety of the crown."
5. "They received correspondence from the Revolutionary Government"
6. "allowing for the revival of the Crown and the ascension of Prince Thane to the throne."
7. "That can't be..."
8. "It's almost as if they've—"
1. "The crown has given its support"
2. "To the revolutionary government."
3. "Now that it's come to this, those who supported the provisional government are the traitors..."
1. "IN OTHER WORDS..."
2. "THE NOBILITY."
1. It was inevitable.
2. "...miss claire, you tried your best."
3. "It wasn't inevitable!"
4. "Things wouldn't have ended like this!"
5. "If I had worked harder, if I had more power!"
6. "There's..."
1. "I have no other choice."
2. "Then it's come to this."
3. "I'll carry out my duty as a daughter of the bygone era,"
4. "And accept my fate honorably..."
1. "Miss claire,"
2. "I have something I must ask of you."
3. "So I need you to do this for me,"
4. "Everything I've been working towards up until now has been in service of my true plan."
5. "In order for everything to come together."
6. "Miss claire, you will..."
7. "Rae..."
1. "Denounce those of the bygone era, and stand against them."
1. Oh my TAIM. Shit's hitting the fan, huh?
2. The changes from the books are becoming drastic. Our condolences to the Arla fans.
3. After so many changes, we're in uncharted waters. That near kiss in chapter 55? The confession? This whole chapter? All new.
4. Fellow gayasses, we don't know what happens next.
5. As the story takes a dark turn, Aono's illustrations follow suit...
7. "RAWS: La Diosa del Lirio"
8. "TRANSLATION: Anonymous"
9. "TYPESET & QC: Corrie Maxis"
10. "CLEANS: Kumi-san, Corrie"
11. Chapter title translation by Fayorei! To my understanding, this chapter was mentioned in a Kofi post from Inori that Fayorei translated, titling this chapter "Burning Passion". We liked that, so we decided to use it too!
14. We also have a Facebook page!
1. Didn't have room for this edit in the afterword, so we're pulling a Chapter 44.
2. "Me an da bah bish I puwled by being auchishtic"
3. "Wh... can... th... to... co..."
