After seeing Savel's Dragonewt transformation, Werehouse, at least I imagine, might be wagging whatever is the equivalent of a tail for a house. I don't even know what the equivalent of a house's tail is, but that's what I'm imagining, because I keep hearing that Werehouse wanted something that awesome and strong, too. Werehouse is really a wolf or a dog like pet, isn't it, even though it's a house?
"So Werehouse wanted to transform and become stronger... That's... How do we even do that?" [Nar].
"I certainly don't know. How about you?" [Sas]
"None. Even I don't know how. I mean, upgrading Werehouse is one thing, at least that's like tinkering with my Marionettes, but this... I am not even sure where to start" [Merlin].
"To think that even masters have difficulty in this area" [Ophelia].
"A thousand years, and this is the first time I have received such requests. Hmm..." [Merlin]
"Looks like she's thinking of something. Let's just give her some time" [Khamisah].
It's a difficult request, even for Master Merlin. It's not what I expected. Normally, I would expect Master Merlin to say, "Don't worry my cute, adorable, energetic younglings, I, the Great Legendary Witch Merlin, already have solutions for every problem," but this time it's a no.
"Huh? The witch from Empire did what?" [Dana]
"Werehouse is talking to you?" [Sas]
"Not really. I just heard him say something about the witch and the empire, so I just connected the two. The rest is really hard for me to translate" [Dana].
"Allow me" [Diana]
I was so focused on Master Merlin that I didn't catch what Werehouse was trying to say. When Master Merlin heard it
"There's no way I would lose to a youngling!" [Merlin]
"Master Merlin's competitiveness is exploding!" [Diana]
"What exactly happened?" [Khamisah]
"You see..." [Diana]
According to Werehouse, the witch who created it wanted to make a moving fortress. I would say since she's a witch under Prince Rufus, that means...
"There's no report from any knights or agency of ours suggesting this, but considering it's Prince Rufus we're talking about, I'd say it's plausible indeed" [Nar].
"He really is something. Even as an enemy, I couldn't help but respect him" [Sas].
"A moving castle that can both serve as a fortress and attack anything it wants... That's really something" [Dana].
"Master Merlin once said that Prince Rufus wanted to subjugate the Dragon King and make him his subordinate, could that be one of the reasons?" [Diana]
"Not really. I would say that even without that, he will do it just to show off his greatness" [Khamisah].
"I can't even imagine what the Empire's castle will be like if it starts moving like Werehouse... A definite threat" [Ophelia].
"I should applaud the young witch for what she's doing. She is indeed talented. Very talented indeed, but if she continues on this path... It will only lead to her destruction..." [Merlin]
"Just like you always told the three of us." [Diana]
"Something about witches should not take live lightly, right. Siti kept mentioning it to herself so she wouldn't stray" [Dana].
"Indeed. I myself have seen countless witches fall into it. The art of a soul that has been granted to a witch is truly terrifying. Without proper discipline, one could easily stray further and further away from the goddess. Even if I don't kill her, she will inevitably be led to her own destruction. I wrote her a letter so that she would consider herself to be my disciple a few times, but alas... She's like a real witch, arrogant. Alas, what she has done or about to be done is truly amazing and worthy of respect..." [Merlin]
"Something wrong, Master?" [Diana]
"Just wondering... Are there any other witches she turns to for help? Most witches I know don't achieve what I did, so their lives aren't as long as mine, but the chances that there are few out there like me aren't exactly zero either" [Merlin].
Other witches... The continent is huge, so there should be other witches. I'd be even more surprised if there weren't.
"I'm just wondering, can't we just replace the core of Werehouse and go from there?" [Dana].
"Again, the same problem I mentioned before. Basically, killing Werehouse" [Merlin]
"I see..." [Dana]
"You seem to have an idea" [Merlin]
"Well... I was just thinking, since there's a request for the subjugation of the Coffin Turtles in the neighboring country, I was thinking of doing it for Werehouse, so he can have the transformation he wanted so much. Maybe a little childish then" [Dana].
"Transformation... Changing form... Coffin Turtle... Actually, you gave me a really good idea, Dana!" [Merlin]
"Really? I helped!?" [Dana]
"Yes! This involves several specialties and experts, so I need to make a plan first. This neighboring country, is it County of Philip by any chance?" [Merlin]
"Yes, it is." [Dana]
"Perfect. Since you want to go there to subjugate the coffin turtle, how about you help me gather some materials as well. In the meantime, I will finish my blueprint in my humble hut." [Merlin]
"Gathering needed materials... Since it's a long weekend, how about I join Dana!" [Diana]
"Can she?" [Dana]
"Please!" [Diana]
"You're going with Kat and Linda, right? Sure, why not?" [Khamisah]
"Just bring Fie for extra protection" [Ophelia]
"Yay!" [Diana]
"Awesome!" [Dana]
"Fie, get ready too!" [Diana]
"Meow" [Fie]
"If that's the case, we helped the witch Merlin" [Sas]
"Sounds good. Are you okay with it?"
[Nar]
"Sure" [Merlin]
