BOND 6
PERSONAL SKILLS
Sunny Camouflage: EX
You can take the Servant out of the Faker, but never the Faker out of the Servant.
—Or something like that?
Like the beautiful Cinderella, cursed with the knowledge of having until midnight to dance to her heart’s content, the Beast Isabel knows that the golden flames will envelop her heart yet again. It’s inevitable, she cannot do anything else but to consume, after all.
But, at least under the light of the sun, she wants to feel like a normal girl again...
Does the Rank explain why she was able to degrade even the boundaries between 「real」 and 「illusion」 and create this peaceful beach landscape? Or is this the power of a princess’ authority?
Blessings of the Divine Tree (Summer): EX
A Skill which determines one’s connection to the Divine Tree Andurá, the Pau-Brasil which represents the authority to rule over the land known as ‘Brazil’. In other words, the authority of a queen while on the beach.
—Alright, now wait just a minute. Isn’t the whole point of the Divine Tree to be possessed by only one member of the Imperial Family at time?
Well, yes, Isabel says as she fidgets in her place. You see, there was a lot of fine prints involved in this travesty of a Skill... Indeed, someone else is possessing the authority over Andurá, yes, so her embers are usually but a flicky light, but no one said anything about the Andurá (Beach), right? So this one is anyone’s to take. Maybe she’s not the first Brazilian Summer Servant (wait, she is!?), but she’s sure as hell the first one from the Imperial Family. Everything fits, see?
——I won’t even say anything else.
Midsummer Freedom: A
A beach is no place to feel sad—there is no space for the unhappiness of an uncaring world in this small preview of paradise. When one comes to the beach, is to soak in the sun, feel the sea caressing one’s skin and to enjoy the various ways in which coconut water can be sold.
Naturally, the breaker of chains vows to break yet another today—the chains of restraint.
Servants and humans affected by this Skill are to become 「free」, as if their problems are a thing of the past. A fearsome mental attack that seeps discreetly into the minds and hearts of living beings, reverting their psyches to their primal, carefree states, much in the spirit of a Summer event. In their minds there will be only the thought of having fun after this. What would be of her as an Imperial Princess if her dearest subjects were unhappy?
—Or, perhaps, she just wants to make sure to take all of her targets down in their most unsuspecting, vulnerable state? We’ll never know for sure.
