(←back to masterlist)



Siams: Ugh... Damn, that hurts...

(Those guys came at me like they were gonna kill me this time...)

(They wouldn’t go easy on me just because I’m a kid, huh...? Man, I underestimated them a little...)

(......Things are the same no matter where I go, huh?)

(Nothin’ but worthless bastards everywhere, whether I’m here or in the Lost Garden...)

———



Will: “In that case, will you at least let me do this?”

“Hehe, there we go. Yep, that’ll do the trick. ♪”

“Make sure you leave that on for a little while, okay? That’s all I ask.”

———

Siams: (...People like him are probably one in a million.)

(He’ll be the first and the last... Even more uncommon than the rarest obtainable item.)

Sigh...

...This is game over...

???: —Are you dead?

Siams: (Huh?! Is it the thugs from before?!)



Sirius: Oh, good, he lives.

Siams: (...What’s... with this guy?)

Sirius: You’re out here so late at night... Are you alone?

Siams: ...Who the hell are you? Did you come here to kill me?

Sirius: Haha, you’re just like a stray cat. No need to be so combative.

Siams: Tch...

Sirius: You’re quite badly injured... What on earth happened to you?

Siams: ...Nothin’. Just screwed up and got the shit kicked out of me.

You a tourist or somethin’? Walkin’ around here at this time of night with that flashy-lookin’ getup...

Just ‘cause they call this place “the city that grants a million wishes” or whatever doesn’t mean it’s a peaceful place, y’hear?

Sirius: Haha, I appreciate the warning.

However, I came from a place even more dangerous than this, so there’s no need to worry about me.

Siams: And I’m tellin’ you that everyone who comes here from somewhere else says the same shit—

Sirius: I came from the Lost Garden.

Siams: ...!

Sirius: Perhaps you’ve heard of it? The so-called lawless district that stretches far and wide below the streets of New Million.

...Quite an ironic description if you ask me. Although everyone longs to live in the city brimming with hope, the truth is that dangers lurk here as well.

The Lost Garden, on the other hand, which is treated like a place no respectable human being would dare approach... Is a peaceful place that offers serenity to those who live there.



Siams: ...A peaceful place...?

Sirius: Well, that’s just my humble opinion.

Siams: ...I think it is probably better over there.

Sirius: Oh? So you do know of the Lost Garden.

Siams: I guess you could say that... since it’s where I was born.

Sirius: Is that right?

I was just about to make my way back there... What do you say? Will you come with me?

Siams: ......

...I guess. I was just thinking it might be time for me to go back.

Sirius: Hehe, how fortuitous. This should make for an interesting trip—

———



Siams: ......

Luca: You okay?

Siams: ...! Yeah... Don’t worry about it.

Bizele: Mra~ow.

Luca: Oh, right, you have Bizele, too.

Siams: ...?

Luca: I was just thinkin’ that you meeting Bizele was probably pretty special too, yeah? ...Even though he’s just a cat.

Siams: ......

Guess so. I haven’t met anyone that left a particularly strong impression on me...

So meetin’ Bizele was pretty major in its own way, I guess.

Bizele: Meow ♪

Luca: Haha, looks like Bizele here is pretty happy about it, too.

Siams: ......

LOST GARDEN Link Story -Siams- | Chapter 8

(←back to masterlist)

**SMALL DISCLAIMER: I have no idea how to "properly" romanize the name エア so I chose to go with Ayre for now because it looks was more pleasing to me than just "Air"... If we get a canon spelling later I will come back and update these chapters.**

Siams: Come on, Bizele, get in here—

Shin: Oh, Siams-kun! Welcome baaack~♪

Siams: Huh?!



Siams: The hell... You’re back already, huh? ...Hold up.

???: ......

Siams: Isn’t he...?

What the hell is a Hero doing here? What’s going on?

Shin: Now, now, just cool your jets.

I said cool it Siams-kun!

Siams: Why should I?

Shin: Maaan, what a pain... I hate explaining shit.

Long story short, this guy isn’t a Hero.

Ayre here is our ally!

Siams: Ally...?

Ayre: ......

Shin: Whatever will we do~? We call ourselves “Trinity”, but we’ve become a group of four.

Ayre is super strong, and he listens to anything that Sirius and I say... You might wanna watch your back, Siams-kun.

Honestly speaking, Ayre was here waaay before y—

Siams: Who gives a shit?

Shin: ...Huh?

Siams: I don’t remember any rule that said Trinity has to be a group of three.

That’s news to me, so debating it is a waste of time.

...Even if there is a rule, I don’t care what happens.

Shin: ......

Siams: Anyway, what is Sirius up to? He’s been holed up somewhere this whole time, yeah?

Shin: I’m not telling.

Siams: Excuse me?

Shin: You’re being, like, a way bigger pain in the ass than usual today, so I’m not telling you.

Siams: The hell kind of reason is that...?

Shin: Besides, I have Ayre here by my side now, see~? ♪

Ayre: ......

Siams: ...Tch.

Shin: ...I mean, he’ll probably drop by later, yeah?

Siams: What are you talking about?

Shin: Sirius, duh. You’re the one who asked about him.

You remember that one place... The place where all those Tronis people lived in hiding? He said he had something to take care of over there and set off.

Siams: ...He what?

Shin: He said he might stop by on his way back, so you’ll probably see him then? Can’t say for certain, though.

Siams: Where Tronis was living...

Shin: Anyway, sorry, Ayre. I was in the middle of giving you the grand tour.

I’ll show you over here next. It’s basically a punishment cell, but—

Siams: Tch...

Shin: ...What’s with him?

———



Siams: Huh...?

(Dammit, what shitty timing...)

(I thought for sure he wouldn’t find him there...)

(What did Sirius mean that he’s got something to take care of...? Did... Did he find out...?)

(Whatever, that doesn’t matter right now. Right now... please just let me make it in time—)

———



Siams: Haa, haa...

(...Water?)

(It wasn’t flooded like this before, was it...?)

???: So you’re alive...

Siams: !!

Luca: I don’t understand... Why are you so full of life?



Luca:Why... do you seem so unaffected...?

Sirius: ......

Luca: ...You’re not seriously about to tell me you don’t remember Kai, are you?

Sirius: Of course not.

I remember you, too, Luca Reinhart.

...And I’m very interested to know what you’re doing here.

Luca: Who gives a shit about me right now?!

Kai put his life on the line for you...

And because of the ridiculous ideas you dragged him into... he’s...

So why are you still alive...?!

Siams: ......

Luca: He can’t rest peacefully like this... His sacrifice is meaningless if you’re still here...

Which means... I’ll have to kill you myself...

Sirius: My...

Luca: You’d better brace yourself, Sirius—

(The ground begins to shake)

Huh?!

Sirius: ...What’s this?

Luca: What’s going on...?

Dammit!!

Sirius: ......

**SMALL DISCLAIMER:I have no idea how to "properly" romanize the name エア so I chose to go with Ayre for now because it looks was more pleasing to me than just "Air"... If we get a canon spelling later I will come back and update these chapters.**

Siams: (—Did he really get away?)

(...I mean, even if he did, there’s no doubt that he’d show up again trying to go after Sirius.)

Aaah, dammit...

Sirius: Welcome back, Siams.

Siams: !

Sirius: My, it seems I startled you. My apologies.

Were you lost in thought?

Siams: Nah, nothin’ like that...

Sirius: Haha, I certainly ruined this little reunion of ours, didn’t I? Apologies - let me start over.

Have you been doing well, Siams?

Siams: ...Yeah.

Shin: Where’d you run off to, anyway?

You took off as soon as I mentioned where Sirius was earlier. Where the hell did you go?

Siams: I was just... Looking for Bizele...

Shin: Huh? Don’t give me that bullshit lie. Tell me where you really were.

Siams: I told you the truth... Tch, what’s your fuckin’ problem...

Shin: Tch, you worthless piece of—

Sirius: Calm down, Shin. A one-sided conversation is meaningless.

Besides, he told you he was looking for Bizele, no?

Shin: You’re just going to believe him?

Sirius: Of course I am.

More importantly, might I interject?

Siams: ...What is it?

Sirius: Do you remember Kai, Siams? He was helping me out with some things here and there recently...

Siams: O-Oh, yeah, I remember...

Sirius: I just so happened to run into his twin, Luca Reinhardt. When he learned I was alive, he attacked me.

He said he was doing it in Kai’s place... Might this be some sort of revenge as well?

Siams: You’re one reckless son of a gun... He was trying to kill you, wasn’t he?

Sirius: I suppose so, but I won’t allow him to.

Perhaps this is a ridiculous thing to say, but my luck has been exceedingly good lately.

Why, just earlier, I was caught in a pinch and was saved just in the nick of time.

Siams: ......

Sirius: Even so, I’m certain Luca will attack again. He would be quite the thorn in my side if he started following me around, so...

That’s why I believe we need to do something about him before he does.

My foreword has become a bit long-winded, but... I’d like to leave the task to you, Siams.

Siams: ......

Sirius: If possible, I’d like you to capture him alive.

Siams: ...Why?

What will happen if I do...?

Sirius: I’d like to use him as a test subject for my current experiment.

He even seems to have conveniently mastered his ability. I couldn’t ask for a better participant.

As I said, ours was quite the unexpected encounter. If you end up with no choice but to kill him, I won’t blame you.

Shin and Ayre are busy dealing with another issue, which means the only one available to handle this is you... Will you help me?

Siams: ......

Sirius: ......

Siams: ...Fine. I just gotta capture him alive, right?

I’ll go now and finish this.

Sirius: Hehe, I appreciate it. I’ll be waiting here with bated breath—

———



Luca: ......

(Tch, what shitty timing... I totally lost him.)

(Did Sirius cause that explosion? I still don’t have a damn clue what his ability is.)

(Maybe that’s... how he survived...)

(I’m pretty sure he was blown away by Jay Kidman too... along with Kai.)

......

Bizele: Meo~w

Luca: ?!

B...Bizele...?

Bizele: Mro~w, meo~w

Luca: Shh! Be quiet! Please, just go away!

...!

Siams: Looks like you didn’t learn your lesson, now did you?



Luca: !

Siams: !!

Luca: Haaa...!

Siams: Ngh, what the...

Hold up! Listen to what I have to say first!

Luca: Dammit!

Siams: Hraagh...!
