Dawning Reality/Story

Dawning Reality - Opening

English・Japanese

???？？？	Aaannnd...gotcha! All right, Prince Alfonse, time for a little game of guess who! Heehee... Go on, guess!		うふっ...だぁ～れだ♪
H-hey! Whoever it is had better stop fooling around!		え、君はいったい...？ あれ、う...動けない！		Alfonseアルフォンス
???？？？	Tsk, tsk! Where is your patience, my charming, young prince? I'll need to hear your answer first, my darling!		だぁ～め、ですよぉ。 私が誰かを当ててくれないと。 目隠しは、解いてあげませ～ん。
Fine... Then it must be...Charlotte?		この声は...シャーロッテかな？		Alfonseアルフォンス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	How'd you know?! You must have recognized the warmth and charm of your beloved Charlotte!		だぁ～いせ～いかぁ～い♪ あ・な・た...のぉ シャーロッテでぇす！
Your voice gave it away, honestly. Now, would you mind letting go of me...please? I'm not sure where you've gotten the idea that you're my beloved or I'm your darling...		やっぱりそうだったんだね。 突然だからびっくりしたよ... でも、あなたのシャーロッテって どういう意味で...		Alfonseアルフォンス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Do you really need an explanation? Because we get along so well!		ふふっ、言葉通りの意味ですよぉ。 私とアルフォンス王子は とーっても仲良しでしょ？
Ah...right. Well, we should always endeavor to strengthen our bonds... Now, if you don't mind, I must be going now.		な、なるほど。うん、節度をもって 絆を深めることはいいことだと思うよ。 じゃあ、僕は訓練があるから...		Alfonseアルフォンス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Hmph! Acting all high and mighty... Well, you won't be able to resist my charms forever!		アルフォンス王子... 身持ちは堅そうだけど 脈はあると見た...！
Still at it even in Askr, huh? I guess it's true: some things never change...		シャーロッテ... お前はアスク王国に来ても 相変わらずだな。		Bennyブノワ
Orochiオロチ	Where there's royalty, you'll find Charlotte performing that act of hers.		いつもの玉の輿狙いか？ 懲りないのう...
Royalty's royalty, Askran or not, so why should I act any different? I simply MUST marry into a family that's well-off. If I have to do so in another world, that's fine by me! Plus the prince is so kindhearted and full of life...and of course, most importantly, the heir to the throne!		どうして懲りる必要があんの！？ たとえ、ここが異界でも 私はなんとしても玉の輿に 乗らなくちゃいけないのよっ。 アルフォンス王子、スレてなくて いいわよね。なんと言っても王族だし！ ここで一番の狙い目じゃない！？		Charlotteシャーロッテ
Nyxニュクス	Hasn't Prince Xander scolded you about your little "damsel in distress" act?		貴方、前にもマークス王子に 叱られていたわよね。 軍の風紀を乱すな、って。
Rrrr... Is it so WRONG for a girl to pursue her dreams? Why don't you all mind your own business? Prince Alfonse is the one—I know it! Now, after all my preparation, it's my time to finally marry into money!		うっ！　別に風紀を 乱しているわけじゃないわよ！ 恋愛することは自由でしょ？ 今回はうまく行きそうな気がするのよ。 念願の玉の輿はすぐそこなのっ！		Charlotteシャーロッテ
Orochiオロチ	He's "the one," is he? Hm...		そう、うまくいくかのう...
I hear the prince is no fool... What if he's seen through the game you're playing already?		早々に本性が露見すると思うが...		Bennyブノワ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Oh, please. The Order of Heroes has no idea what I'm really like. As far as they know, I'm just sweet, innocent Charlotte. And we're going to keep it that way, aren't we? ...AREN'T we?!		...うっさいわね。 まだ特務機関の連中には バレてないっつーの。 あんたたちが余計なことを 言わない限り、私は可憐な令嬢英雄 シャーロッテで押し通せるのよ。
Sweet and innocent are the last words I'd use to describe you.		可憐...令嬢... 貴方の本性からは 一番遠い言葉が出たわね。		Nyxニュクス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	You're one to talk. I'm not the only one who's more than meets the eye. ...I'll tell you what. Why don't we all take this opportunity to re-examine ourselves, then, hm? New world, new us. What do you say to that?		だいたい、私だけじゃなくない？ あんたたちも、中身と見た目に 落差がありすぎるのよ。 いい機会だからアスク王国で その落差を解消するのはどう？

Dawning Reality - C

English・Japanese

Charlotteシャーロッテ	You’ve always had trouble making a first impression, haven’t you?
I guess you could say that. Folks take one look at me and assure I’m some kind of ruffian.				Bennyブノワ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Have you tried smiling when you introduce yourself? If you do, they’ll see how sweet you really are, I bet!
Huh. That easy, is it?				Bennyブノワ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	As for you, Nyx... Did I overhear Princess Ylgr bragging about her ”new best friend,” hmm? You do realize she thinks she’s finally met a Hero her age, right?
Not my problem! I’m not responsible for what she thinks.				Nyxニュクス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	And what happens when she finds out that you’re actually an adult?
Well, I don’t suppose I can keep up the child act forever...				Nyxニュクス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Maybe you’ll get better with practice! It worked before, right? You said you wanted to play outside... Remember?
Ugh. I wish I could forget...				Nyxニュクス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	All I’m saying is, if how you act doesn’t match your look, it will only confuse people!
Right. There’s no way for an average person to tell Nyx is, in fact, cursed.				Orochiオロチ
Nyxニュクス	And as for you, Orochi... Under that feminine mystique, you’re a prankster deep down! We’re not so different from one another! We’re all in this together!
I beg your pardon! I’m an adult, thank you very much! I am serious, mature, no-nonsense—				Orochiオロチ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Would an adult get so worked up over something like this? Come on! Can any of you give acting a try? Don’t be scared to try something new! Just follow my lead, and you’re sure to succeed! There’s nowhere to go but up!
I’m not so sure...				Bennyブノワ
Orochiオロチ	Despite your enthusiasm, I fear fate may have other plans...

Dawning Reality - B

English・Japanese

Bennyブノワ	As much as I’ve tried—and I have—I just can’t get a forced smile to look natural on me.
Don’t give up so quickly! You have to give it time. You’ve only just started trying!				Charlotteシャーロッテ
Annaアンナ	Were you hurt during the last battle, Benny? Get yourself checked out. That grimace tells me you’re in pain.
Oh, er...I, uh...I just stubbed my toe. ...That’s all.				Bennyブノワ
I never was much of an actor, and I keep on proving it, over and over again...				Bennyブノワ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	I suppose we all have our strengths and weaknesses... And you, Nyx?
Things could have gone better.				Nyxニュクス
Ylgrユルグ	I’m so glad to have finally met a Hero who’s near the same age as me!
Uh-huh! I really like playing together and having fun... I wish we could do it all the time. I hate it every time we have to stop...				Nyxニュクス
Ylgrユルグ	I feel exactly the same. But we don’t need to worry about that yet! We’ve got plenty of time!
Right... Plenty of time... ...She’s so innocent. Her eyes remind me of how my own once looked a long time ago.				Nyxニュクス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	So you told her the truth, then?
My conscience is overburdened as it is. I don’t need one more thing hanging over my head.				Nyxニュクス
Orochiオロチ	Hmm... Then it is as I foresaw.
Ugh. So you failed as well?				Charlotteシャーロッテ
Orochiオロチ	Everything was going as planned... That is, until this dragon named Xane appeared. I tried to keep a straight face through his whole impersonation act, but it was just too good... I laughed so hard I CRIED! Haha... I’m laughing simply recalling it now! Heh heh heh... Hahaha-HAHA!
Get a hold of yourself. There’s no way anything was that funny. ...You know what you three need? A lesson in good old-fashioned tenacity! Now, watch and learn!				Charlotteシャーロッテ
Alfonseアルフォンス	Oh, hello again, Charlotte. How’s the ankle holding up?
Oh my, how kind of you to ask, my sweet, darling prince! I’m very well, thank you!				Charlotteシャーロッテ
Alfonseアルフォンス	Yes, well, I would not be doing my duty were I not to look after the health of our Heroes. If your ankle gets any worse, do be sure to visit one of the healers we have in the castle.
No one’s ever been so worried over my well-being! Such compassion... it’s enough to make one swoon!				Charlotteシャーロッテ
Nyxニュクス	She’s not subtle in the slightest, but she DOES manage to keep a straight face the whole time, I’ll give her that.
I think she honestly believes that he might be the one... Wow.				Bennyブノワ

Dawning Reality - A

English・Japanese

Annaアンナ	Well done today, Heroes! Especially you, Charlotte. Most impressive! I could hardly believe what I was seeing when you charged that poor knight head-on!
Turning faces to pulp is a good way to relieve stress!				Charlotteシャーロッテ
Annaアンナ	Uh...huh. Right. Well, looks like you’re ready for the next battle! Remember: health is wealth!
Whatever you say, Commander! Speaking of health, I could do with some grub... I’m starving!				Charlotteシャーロッテ
Bennyブノワ	And who’s this? That doesn’t sound like the damsel in distress I know.
Word of this daring display will surely reach the ears of the prince...				Orochiオロチ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Yeah, well, I guess I’ve given up on pretending, then.
I suppose that’s true... But why the sudden change of heart?				Nyxニュクス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Well, in my rush to marry into money, I forgot one little detail... The whole point is to be able to support my family, but they’re all back home in Nohr...
I suppose Anna has yet to solve the problem of inter-world coin transfer. ...I’m sure she’s working at it.				Orochiオロチ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Well, on top of that, once we’ve returned peace to Askr, we’ll be sent back home, right? So, why should I go through the trouble of finding a rich man to marry here when...it can’t last?
Fair enough... We were brought here to help Askr, after all. It’d be best for us to stay focused on that.				Bennyブノワ
Charlotteシャーロッテ	I suppose you’re right... But wait a minute! With summoning... it must work in both directions, right? If I DID find a husband, you could send both of us back to Nohr, right, 【Summoner】?! If I can find someone savvy enough to earn us good money back home, we’ll be set for life!
...Are you listening to yourself?				Nyxニュクス
Charlotteシャーロッテ	Quiet, Nyx! I’ve got to devise the perfect plan for luring in my ideal future husband!
Here we go again...				Bennyブノワ
Orochiオロチ	I thought that she had finally grown tired of keeping up appearances. I see now I was wrong.
We’re all creatures of habit. Breaking cycles we’ve spent our lifetimes perfecting is not easy. Whatever we do, regardless of how we try to conceal our motives, our true selves always show through.				Nyxニュクス
Orochiオロチ	*sigh* Maybe we are not so different from Charlotte after all... But as long we stay true to ourselves, however we find that to be, we are sure to achieve our dreams.
