Wish on the Star-Filled Sea Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Figaro: Now then, to whom does this first wish of the night belong to?

He held aloft the star ornament I chose with a smile on his face.

Figaro: Possideo.

The shining of the star ornament I chose increased, as if a real star was born into this room.

Eventually, from a small ball of light came a familiar figure I knew all too well floating onto the scene.

Murr: Awrighty, to celebrate Tanabata it’s time to tell you my wish!

Laddies and germs, which do you prefer? An absolutely un-grantable wish, a frightening wish, or an exciting wish? Just so you know, I recommend the absolutely un-grantable wish!

Rustica: Well, now that you’ve suggested it my interest is somewhat piqued. Doesn’t the sound of an absolutely un-grantable wish get you on your toes?

Chloe: Hmm, I prefer an exciting one! It is Tanabata, so I want everyone to have tons of fun!

Shylock: Then I suppose I’ll vote for a frightening one. The night of Tanabata where Orihime and Hikoboshi reunite in their love must be a sultry one.

Murr: Gosh, guess that means I should go for all of them!! A frightening one, an exciting one, and an absolutely un-grantable one altogether has won! Clap clap~

Chloe: Wooohooo! *clap clap*

Rustica: Oh, am I thrilled to hear it! Such an inspiriting decision!

Shylock: Shall we open up a wine bottle to celebrate Tanabata then?

Murr, Chloe, & Rustica: Cheers!

Their figures vanished as the ball of light closed up with the sound of their voices cheering in unison.

Murr: Wahooo! I was the first! Happy Tanabata, cheers!

Lennox: But Murr, we’re missing something. What was your wish?

Murr: That is…

Lennox: It is…

Murr: Dunno! Forgot!

Rutile: Hahahaha! Still, it looks like you four had a lot of fun!

Owen: Don’t make a wish only to not wish for anything. If we can’t grant anything it won’t make for a game.

Mithra: Hey, Master Sage. Get it together, will you? Pick a wish that’s properly done.

Akira: G-Got it. I’ll try to do that! 

…Haaah! Okaaay, I choose you!

Mithra: Arthim.

This time Mithra was the one who recited his spell on the star ornament I chose. Once again, it lets off a golden light. 

Lennox: Hmmm, my wish is…

I would like for the day of the party to have good weather. Lord Faust and Mitile were looking forward to their plant gathering.  

Oh, also, Rutile mentioned that he had lost his favourite pen. I hope he can find it soon.

And lastly…

May Dr. Figaro’s stiff neck and shoulders heal. 

Akira: Was that…all?

Lennox: My apologies for being so greedy. I hadn’t realized that I made so much.

Akira: No, uhm, rather than greedy it was more…

Rutile: Mr. Leno, I actually found that pen this morning!

Lennox: Is that true?

Rutile: Yes! It was hiding behind my desk. I found it, all thanks to your wish! 

Figaro: I guess that explains why my stiff joints have found relief recently. Your wish was heard by the stars, Leno. Thank you.

Lennox: You too, Dr. Figaro…thank goodness.

Rustica: How lovely. Does this make Lennox the top scorer?

Mithra: Hey. Does that count as granting right now?

Murr: Doesn’t it? There wasn’t a rule that said you HAD to use magic to grant them.

Oz: …Don’t you have any wishes for yourself.

Lennox: Huh?

Lennox blinks at Oz’s question. It was as if he had just realized that himself.

Lennox: Now that you mention it…I didn’t make any. That’s fine, however.

Personally, when it comes to my wish, I find there’s no meaning in it if I don’t grant it myself.

Owen: Tch. What a bore. 

Murr: Let’s keep at it! Next one is this!

Murr chose a star himself. It seems that he’s been eyeing it for a while now, wanting to open it. 

Murr: Eanul Rambul!

Oz: I have no wishes.

Akira: (In just one second…!)

Mithra: Why would you choose something like Oz’s wish? Have some sense. 

Murr: Meeeowww! I got criticized by Mithra on sense! Okiedokie, moving on.

Eanul Rambul!

Rutile: May Mitile and Faust come home from South safely.

Ah, can I make another? May Lady Orihime and Sir Hikoboshi safely reunite on the Milky Way!

Rustica: May all the couples in the world enjoy a sweet chocolate flavoured romantic day today. 

Murr: Aw yeah! Let’s make it rain chocolate all over the world then!

Shino: Hey, you guys seen my wallet anywhere?

Heathcliff: Wait, Shino! Rustica’s making his wish right now so don’t barge in!

Mithra: I will beat the crap out of Oz. 

And once I do, I’ll make him do the weeding. It suits him.

As the wizards sang their spells each of the star ornaments glowed and showed their saved illusion.

Sweet wishes, honourable wishes, straight up war declarations.

Each and every one of them was fitting of them, their emotions of happiness and nervousness overflowing.

Lennox: Master Sage, where is your ornament?

Akira: Oh, mine. I hung it up somewhere over…

Murr: Which one is the Sage’s one!

Oz: This one.

One star ornament floated its way towards Oz’s hands. Without a doubt it was the star I hung up.

Oz drops his gaze down to the ornament in his hands.

Oz: …

Vox Nox.

Murr: Okay, we’re starting! 3, 2, 1, go!

Akira: Uhhh, I’m…

Murr: Master Sage, your face is weird! Smile!

Akira: S-Sorry. I’m just a bit embarrassed since I’ve never done something like this before.

My wish is, well…

My wish for all the wizards to live healthily without injury or sickness!

And, I hope that everyone finds it comfortable living here at the manor…that’s all!

Murr: Yahoo, we pulled an ultra rare one! Good job, Oz, you got great sense!

That was the saved memory of my wish that played just now.

I was more nervous than I thought. Blood rushed to my face seeing my crooked smile in the illusion.

Rustica: …Master Sage, to think you’d make a wish for us…thank you dearly.

Rutile: I’m finding living here at the manor wonderful! Everyday’s lively, just like today! We’re having this great party here after all.
