[Assistant] I apologize for the food analogy, I couldn't think of a better way to explain. I grinned and she grinned back, but her smile was rueful. You see, every person has their own scent, their own essence.

[Assistant] If you locked an alcoholic in a room full of stale beer, she'd drink it. But she could resist, if she wished to, if she were a recovering alcoholic. Now let's say you placed in that room a glass of hundred-year-old brandy, the rarest, finest cognac, and filled the room with its warm aroma. How do you think our alcoholic would fare, then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We sat in silence for a minute, staring into each other's eyes, trying to read each other's thoughts. She broke the silence first. Maybe that's not the right comparison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it would be too easy to turn down the branding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what you're saying is I'm your brand of heroine, I teased, trying to lighten the mood. She smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that happen often? I asked. She looked across the treetops, thinking about her response. I spoke to my sisters about it. She still stared into the distance. To Jessamine, every one of you is much the same. She is the most recent to join our family. It's a struggle for her to abstain at all. She hasn't had time to grow sensitive to the differences in smell. In flavor. She glanced swiftly at me. I'm sorry. It's fine. Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Jessamine wasn't sure if she'd ever come across someone else who was as, she hesitated looking for the right word, appealing as you are to me, which makes me think not. Her eyes flickered to me. She would remember this. She looked away again. Elle has been on the wagon longer, so to speak, and she understood what I meant. She says twice for her, once stronger than the other. And for you? Never before this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We stared at each other again, this time I broke the silence. What did Eleanor do? It was the wrong question to ask. She cringed, and her face was suddenly tortured. I waited, but she didn't add anything. Okay, so I guess that was a dumb question. She stared at me with eyes that pleaded for understanding. Even the strongest of us fall off the wagon, don't we? Are you asking for my permission? I whispered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew it wasn't normal, facing death like this without any real sense of fear. It wasn't that I was super brave, I knew that. It was just that I wouldn't have chosen differently, even knowing it would end this way. She looked angry again, but I didn't think she was angry with me. Of course there's hope. Of course I won't. She left the sentence hanging. Her eyes felt like they were physically burning mine. It's different for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elle, these were strangers she happened across. It was a long time ago. She wasn't as practiced, as careful as she is now. And she's never been as good at this as I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She fell silent, watching me intently as I thought it through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if we'd met, I don't know, in a dark alley or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every single year of practice and sacrifice and effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to jump up in the middle of that class full of children and... She broke off, her eyes darting away from me. When you walked past me, I could have ruined everything Corinne has built for us right then and there. If I hadn't been denying my thirst for the last too many years, I wouldn't have been able to stop myself. She stared at me grimly, both of us remembering. You must have thought I was possessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't understand why, how you could hate me, just like that. To me, it was like you were some kind of demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Summoned straight from my own personal hell to ruin me. The fragrance coming off of your skin. I thought it would make me deranged that first day. In that one hour, I thought of a hundred different ways to lure you from that room with me. To get you alone. And I fought them each back. Thinking of my family. What I could do to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to run out, to get away before I could speak the words that would make you follow. She looked up then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I tried to rearrange my schedule in a pointless attempt to avoid you. There you were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that close, warm little room, the scent was maddening. I so very nearly took you then. There was only one other frail human there, so easily dealt with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I flinched at the thought of how close I'd come to being inadvertently responsible for his death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forced myself not to wait for you, not to follow you from the school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was easier outside when I couldn't smell you anymore to think clearly, to make the right decision. I left the others near home. I was too ashamed to tell them how weak I was. They only knew something was very wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I went straight to Corinne at the hospital to tell her I was leaving. I stared in surprise. I traded cars with her. She had a full tank of gas and I was afraid to stop. I didn't dare go home to face Ernest. He wouldn't have let me go without a fight. He would have tried to convince me that it wasn't necessary. By the next morning, I was in Alaska.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She sounded ashamed, as if she was admitting some huge display of cowardice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I spent two days there with some old acquaintances, but I was homesick. I hated knowing I had upset Ernest, and the rest of them? My adopted family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the pure air of the mountains, it was hard to believe you were so irresistible. I convinced myself it was weak to run away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd dealt with temptation before, not of this magnitude, not even close. But I was strong. Who were you, an insignificant human boy? She grinned suddenly, to chase me from the place I wanted to be. Ah, the deadly sin of pride. She shook her head. So I came back. I couldn't speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took precautions. Hunting, feeding more than usual before seeing you again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was sure that I was strong enough to treat you like any other human. I was arrogant about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was unquestionably a complication that I couldn't simply read your thoughts to know what your reaction was to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't used to having to go to such circuitous measures, listening to your words in Jeremy's mind. His mind isn't very original, and it was annoying to have to stoop to that. And then I couldn't know if he really meant what you were saying, or just saying what you thought your audience wanted to hear. It was all extremely irritating, she frowned at the memory. I wanted you to forget my behavior that first day, if possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I tried to talk with you like I would with any person. I was eager, actually, hoping to decipher some of your thoughts. But you were too interesting. I found myself caught up in your expressions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every now and then you would move and the air would stir around you. The scent would stun me again. Of course then you were nearly crushed to death in front of my eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later I thought of a perfectly good excuse for why I acted that moment. Because if I hadn't saved you, your blood had been spilled there in front of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I could have stopped myself from exposing us for what we are. But I only thought of that excuse later. At the time, all I could think was not him. She shut her eyes, her expression agonized. For a long moment she was silent. I waited eagerly, which probably wasn't the brightest reaction,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We both flinched as that word slipped out and she continued quickly. But the disaster had the opposite effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fought with Royal, Elle, and Jessamine when they suggested that now was the time. The worst fight we have ever had. Corinne sided with me. And Archie. She frowned sourly when she said his name. I couldn't imagine why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ernest told me to do whatever I had in order to stay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She shook her head, a little indulgent smile on her lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that next day, I eavesdropped on the minds of everyone you spoke to, shocked that you kept your word. I didn't understand you at all, but I knew that I couldn't become more involved with you. I did my very best to stay as far from you as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every day, the perfume of your skin, your breath, it hit me as hard as the very first day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had exposed us all at that first moment, then if now, here, with no witnesses and nothing to stop me, I were to hurt you. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Beau. She touched my cheekbone lightly with her fingertips. A shock ran through me at this casual contact. Beau, I couldn't survive hurting you. You don't know how it's tortured me. She looked down, ashamed again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thought of you, still, white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cold. To never see your face turn red again. To never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses. I couldn't bear it. She lifted her glorious agonized eyes to mine. You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My head was spinning at this rapid change in direction just minutes ago I thought that we were talking about my imminent death. Now suddenly we were making declarations. I gripped her hand tighter, staring into her golden eyes. You already know how I feel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so the lion fell in love with the lamb, she murmured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The word was like another electric jolt to my system. I tried to cover my reaction. What a stupid lamb. She sighed. What a sick masochistic lion. She stared into the forest for a long time, and I wondered what she was thinking. Why? I began, but then paused, not sure how to continue. She looked at me and smiled. Sunlight shimmered off of her face. Her teeth. Yes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No really, it was more the surprise than anything else. She raised her free hand and placed it gently on the side of my neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I held very still, recognizing that the chill of her touch was supposed to be a natural warning, and wondering why I couldn't feel that. I felt something else entirely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My hands fell limp into my lap. Softly she brushed her hand across the warm patch in my cheek, then held my face between her small cold hands. Be very still, she whispered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was paralyzed as she suddenly leaned into me, resting her cheek against my chest, listening to my heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can feel the ice of her skin through my thin shirt. With deliberate slowness, her hands moved to my shoulders and her arms wrapped around my neck, holding me tight against her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I listened to the sound of her careful, even breathing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which seemed to be keeping time with my heartbeats. One breath in for every three beats. One breath out for another three. Ah, she said. I don't know how long we sat without moving. It could have been hours. Eventually the throb of my pulse quieted. I knew at any moment it could be too much and my life could end. So quickly that I might not even notice. And I still wasn't afraid. I couldn't think of anything except that she was touching me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, too soon, she unwrapped her arms from around my neck and leaned away. Her eyes were peaceful again. It won't be so hard again, she said with satisfaction. Was that very hard for you? Not nearly as bad as I imagined it would be. And you? No, that wasn't bad for me. We smiled at each other. Here. She picked up my hand easily like she didn't even have to think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And placed it against her cheek. And it was almost warm, her usually icy skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I barely noticed, because I was touching her face, something I had been dreaming and fantasizing about constantly since the first day I'd seen her. Don't move, I whispered. No one could be still like a vampire. She closed her eyes and turned into a statue. I moved even more slowly than she had, careful not to make one unexpected move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stroked her cheek, let my fingertips graze across her lavender eyelids, the shadows and the hollows under her eyes. I traced the shape of her straight nose, and then sew carefully her perfect lips. Her lips parted and I could feel her cool breath on my fingertips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to lean in, to inhale her scent, but I knew that that might be too much. If she could control herself, so could I. If only on a much smaller scale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to move in slow motion so that she could guess everything I would do before I did it. I let my palms slide down the sides of her slender neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I seemed to lose control of my hands as they skimmed over the points of her shoulders and down across her sharp shoulder blades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't stop myself as my arms wrapped around her, pulling her against my chest again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bent down to press my face into her hair for one long second, inhaling a deep lung full of her scent. Then I forced myself to peel my hands off of her and move away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She opened her eyes and they were hungry. Not in a way to make me afraid, but in a way that made the muscles in the pit of my stomach tighten into knots and sent my pulse hammering through my veins again. I wish, she whispered, I wish that you could feel the complexity, the confusion I feel. That you could understand


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how to be so close to you. I don't know if I can. I put my hand over hers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then leaned forward slowly until my forehead was touching hers. This is enough, I sighed, closing my eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We sat like that for a moment, and then her fingers moved into my hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She angled her face up and pressed her lips to my forehead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rhythm of my pulse exploded into a jagged sprint. You're a lot better at this than you give yourself credit for, I said, when I could speak again. She leaned away, taking my hands again. I was born with human instincts. They may be buried deep, but they exist. We stared at each other for another immeasurable moment. I wondered if she was as unwilling to move as I was. But the light was fading. The shadows of the trees were almost touching us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to go. I thought you couldn't read my mind. She smiled. It's getting clearer. A sudden excitement flared in her eyes. Can I show you something? Anything! She grinned. How about a faster way to the truck? I looked at her warily. Don't you want to know how I travel in the forest? She pressed. I promise it's safe. Will you turn into a bat? She burst into laughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stood there waiting with her back toward me, totally serious. Edith, I don't. I mean, how? She spun back to me, one eyebrow raised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surely you're familiar with the concept of a piggyback ride. I shrugged. Sure, but what's the problem then? Well, you're so small. She blew out an exasperated breath, then vanished. This time I felt the wind from her passage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A second later, she was back with a boulder in one hand. An actual boulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One that she must have ripped out of the ground because the bottom half was covered in clinging dirt and spidery roots. It would be as high as her waist if she set it down. She tilted her head to one side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not what I meant. I'm not saying you're not strong enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then crashed down to earth with the sound of shattering wood and stone. Obviously, I went on, but I... How would I fit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked at my two long legs and then back at her delicate frame. She turned her back to me again. Trust me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She reached back with one hand and grabbed my leg, yanking my knee up past her hip. Woah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My face was burning and I knew I must look like a gorilla on a greyhound. Am I hurt- Am I- Am I hurting you? Please, foe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Embarrassed as I was, I was also very aware that my arms and legs were wrapped tightly around her slender body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly she grabbed my hand and pressed my palm to her face. She inhaled deeply. Easier all the time, she said. And then she was running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the trees flew by at deadly speeds, always missing us by inches. I was too shocked to close my eyes, though the cool air whipped against my face and burned them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It felt like I was sticking my head out the window of an airplane in flight. Then it was over. We had hiked hours this morning to reach Edith's meadow, and now, in a matter of minutes, not even minutes, seconds, we were back to the truck. Accelerating, isn't it? Her voice was high, excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stood motionless, waiting for me to unwind my legs and step away from her. I did try, but I couldn't get my muscles to unfreeze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My arms and legs stayed locked while my head spun uncomfortably. Oh? She asked, anxious now. I might need to lie down, I gasped. Oh, I'm sorry. It took me a few minutes to remember how to loosen my fingers. Then everything seemed to come undone at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I half fell off of her, stumbling backward until I lost my footing and finished the other half of the fall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She held out her hand, trying not to laugh, but I refused her offer. Instead I stayed down and put my head between my knees. My ears were ringing and my head whirled in queasy circles. A cold hand rested lightly against the back of my neck. It helped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess that wasn't the best idea, she mused. I tried to be positive, but my voice was hollow. No, it was very interesting. Ha! You're white as a ghost! No, worse, you're white as me! I think I should have closed my eyes. Remember that next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked up, startled. Next time? She laughed, her mood still flying. Show off, I muttered, and put my head back down again. After a half minute, the swirling motion slowed. Look at me, Bo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lifted my head and she was right there. Her face, her face just inches from mine. Her beauty was like a sucker punch that left me stunned. I couldn't get used to it. I was thinking, while I was running. About not hitting trees, I hope. I interrupted. Breathlessly. Silly Bo running a second nature to me. It's not something I have to think about. Show off, I muttered again. She smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I was thinking there was something I wanted to try. She put her hands on my face again. I couldn't breathe. She hesitated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It felt like a test, making sure this was safe, that she was still in control of herself. And then her cold, perfect lips pressed very softly against mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately she turned to unresponsive stone beneath my lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her hands gently, but forcibly pushed my face back. I opened my eyes and saw her expression. Whoops, I said. That's an understatement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her eyes were wild, her jaw clenched in restraint. My face was still just inches from hers, my fingers twisted through her hair. Should I? I tried to disengage myself, to give her some room. Her hands didn't release me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. It's tolerable. Wait for a moment. Please. Her voice was polite, controlled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tolerable? I asked. She laughed. I'm stronger than I thought. It's nice to know. And I'm not. Sorry. You are only human after all. I sighed. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She freed her hair from my fingers and then she was on her feet in one of her live, nearly invisible movements. She held her hand out again, and this time I took it and pulled myself up. I needed the support. My balance hadn't returned yet. I wobbled slightly as I took a step away from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you still reeling from the run, or was it my kissing expertise? She seemed very human as she laughed now, careless and lighthearted. She was a new Edith, different than the one I'd known, and I was even more besotted by her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would cause me physical pain to be separated from her now. Both. Maybe you should let me drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I've had enough of your need for speed today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can drive better than you on your best day, she said. You have much slower reflexes. I believe you, but I don't think my truck could handle your driving. Some trust, please, Beau.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She raised her eyebrows, grabbed a fistful of my t-shirt, and yanked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bo, I've already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not about to let you get behind the wheel of vehicle when you can't even walk straight. Friends don't let friends drive drunk. Drunk? I objected. She leaned up on her tiptoes so that her face was closer to mine. I could smell the unbearably sweet fragrance of her breath. You're intoxicated by my very presence. I can't argue with that, I sighed. There was no way around it. I couldn't resist her in anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I held the key high and dropped it, watching her hand flash like lightning to catch it without a sound. Take it easy. My truck is a senior citizen. Very sensible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She dropped my shirt and ducked out from under my hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you're not affected at all by my presence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She leaned into my palm, her eyes sliding closed. She took a slow, deep breath. Regardless, she murmured. Her eyes flashed open and she grinned. I have better reflexes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the end of chapter 13. We will come back next time for Mind Over Matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My god. Okay, I gotta go right back. I gotta go right back at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How, dude? That was another good looking throw that somehow just wasn't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it still didn't fall! Stop! Please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No! Oh my lord, I cannot believe that worked out. NO!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not, that's not moon enough. It's not moon enough! So therefore, it's me. Actually, this is good. Moonball! Moonball, let us down. Moonball!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moonball! Failed us. Moonball! Moonball! Moonball's being a bitch lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it took me five hours to beat Lucia, and we're, we're still an hour and a half away from that mark, so... That's not moon enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is not enough moon. You cannot be a fake moon ball and hit all the pins down. Damn bitches. Bitches be snitches. And they also be fucking bowling pins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already went to restart and I haven't even thrown it. That's, that's how it's been. Oh thank god you're still streaming. What did you expect? Did you expect I'd get a perfect game already? Wow, Moonball! Moonball! Ian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you get to the fifth frame in the next three games, I'll gift a sub. Alright. Alright, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least a few frames in, but like I'm consistently one or none and done. Moonball! Failed us. It failed us. When the moonball fails, it's a big issue. That's a full moonball. And it's getting disrespected by that motherfucking bin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That one pin needs to stop being a fucking shit eater. Right now. And where does that come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where does that come from, you fucking stupid ass fucking wee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm getting sick of this, sick of this, sick of this, sick of this, sick of this. I've been restarting bowling for four fucking hours. I'm losing my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I got a strike, I got a strike, I got a strike, I haven't been past three in about five thousand games. And I'm not going to make it this time because that's not a strike.


[User] Please transcribe this text


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That wasn't even a bad throw!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why am I still fucking playing? What, what am I doing? I'm going so freaking brain dead right now. Five hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five more hours, we're just getting started!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gonna strike again, but there's a ball going left! Holy shit! The ball went left!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a natural lean, a natural curve left, like a penis. It's the curving left bowling ball. Bum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice throw! I wish they'd thrown a different tagline or different frickin' announcement then. Nice throw! Oh my god dude, you've been bowling for five hours! That's a nice throw finally!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's two in a row! Whoooo! Whoooo! Whoooo! Whoooo! And blow it. BLOW IT!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is- this is way worse. This is way worse than playing Lucia. Not be- not because of anger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's only been certain moments where I've gotten truly angry. Just in the fact of how brain-dumbing this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, just repet- this is just way more repetitive. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, once again. I just cannot do it. I cannot hit that third one. Oh yes, we got three in a row. Holy crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. It has been a while since we've had this, this momentum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh, Blizzard. I'm a banana! Oh, we can't sing that though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We haven't had a left curve like that in like three games and then all of a sudden it does that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now we, now we just got to curbsies. I swear to god, some of these lanes they put me on, it's fucking crooked, like the leaning tower of Pisa. Like, we might as well be bowling on the top floor of the tower of Pisa. Boom, boom ba dum ba dum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I would play 10,000 bowling games on Wii Sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck, fuck, fuck. And I would play six more hours of Wii Sports bowling to get a perfect game. No?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just couldn't fall, could he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can fucking epitomize the shit out of consistency, and Wii Sports will give you a completely different result. Okay, six pack.

[Assistant] Why didn't the 7 pin fall that time? That was the perfect fucking throw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't, don't, don't tell me that wasn't a good throw either. That was actually a good throw that we got dicked on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is that pin being so fucking stupid right now? Tell me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me why. Ain't nothing but a heartache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no time to dwell over it. Time to get back to work. Dude, please throw with more power. What do you think I'm fucking doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't make this thing shoot fucking flames. It's a goddamn bowling ball on the Wii. Alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven hours and I'm no better at hitting a fucking strike than ever before. I-I could be- I'm probably worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like, you'd think, you know, over time, you know, you'd be consistently getting six, seven, at least. You know, and occasionally get eight, nine, maybe a ten, beginning of the tenth frame result. But no, I'm still stuck trying to get a one strike. I can't get one fucking strike. I can't get one-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven hours in five minutes is the final time. I made eight in a row and I failed in the ninth frame twice. And that's as, uh, that's as close as we've gotten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm back here and I'm excited to be back bowling for the perfect game. Nope, it's not. OH!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness, there's no way we hit this on the first try. No way. As I said, no way. Damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we started out with a turkey though, so that's like, that's already a good start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some reason, Toad Wii remotes are way cheaper than the other ones. Like a, like a browser, or wait, Bowser Wii remote is like 50 bucks. Uh, a Peach, a Princess Peach Wii remote's 86 dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And therefore, he only cost $37, but I'm gonna take full advantage of that because I break a lot of my Wii remotes. And I love Toads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? You know what's funny? This is the funniest part of it... ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more and more I try to correct it, the worse and worse it gets. Then I'll go, okay, so I should go, I should go way over here, right? Like somewhere over here or something like that. And watch, it'll be straight as a fucking arrow. STRAIGHT AS A FUCKING ARROW!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what that pin has? That pin has a small dick. Okay, this is the part where I get a little nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, here we go guys! Hop aboard the struggle bus!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's amazing that I can get nine in a row like that and then just go on a complete shithole streak like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I don't care. I don't care if it's a four-real. I don't want- I don't like the taste of ketchup and mustard on a burger. It doesn't taste right. I don't think anything tastes- You know, I'll go- I'll go like... No. The best burger's just plain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could probably do mayo or lettuce and pickle. But other than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't want onion, I don't want mustard, I don't want ketchup, I don't want any sort of onion. I don't want, no, I just don't, I don't want tomato.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want relish, I don't know. What's going on here? Breakfast! Alright guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I gotta give up. I've been recording this whole thing. Why have I been doing-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The moment she did this, all the hands on me tightened, anticipating my reaction. I barely noticed. I was gasping, stunned and frightened by the strange, alarming image that filled my mind. It felt like a very strong memory. I could still see through my eyes while I watched it in my head, but it was completely unfamiliar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stared through it to Renesmee's expectant expression, trying to understand what was happening, struggling desperately to hold on to my calm. Besides being shocking and unfamiliar, the image was also wrong somehow. I almost recognized my own face in it, my old face, but it was off, backward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I grasped quickly that I was seeing my face as others saw it, rather than flipped in a reflection. My memory face was twisted, ravaged, covered in sweat and blood. Despite this, my expression in the vision became an adoring smile. My brown eyes glowed over their deep circles. The image enlarged. My face came closer to the unseen vantage point, and then abruptly vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one but Jacob and Renesmee was so much as breathing. The silence stretched on. It seemed like they were waiting for me to say something. What was that? I managed to choke out. What did you see? Rosalie asked curiously, leaning around Jacob, who seemed very much in the way and out of place at the moment. What did she show you? She showed me that? I whispered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you it was hard to explain, Edward murmured in my ear, but effective as means of communications go. What was it? Jacob asked. I blinked quickly several times. Me, I think, but I looked terrible. It was the only memory she had of you, Edward explained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was obvious he'd seen what she was showing me as she thought of it. He was still cringing, his voice rough from reliving the memory. She's letting you know that she's made the connection, that she knows who you are. But how did she do that? Renesmee seemed unconcerned with my boggling eyes. She was smiling slightly and pulling on a lock of my hair. How do I hear thoughts? How does Alice see the future? Edward asked rhetorically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing strong enough to pull me through the crushing darkness. The moment when I thought of Renesmee and found something I would never let go of. I remember you too, I told her quietly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed very natural to lean in and press my lips to her forehead. She smelled wonderful. The scent of her skin set my throat burning, but it was easy to ignore. It didn't strip the joy from the moment. Renesmee was real and I knew her. She was the same one I'd fought for from the beginning. My little nudger, the one who loved me from the inside too. Half Edward, perfect and lovely, and half me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which surprisingly made her better rather than detracting. I'd been right all along. She was worth the fight. She's fine, Alice murmured, probably to Jasper. I could feel them hovering, not trusting me. Haven't we experimented enough for one day? Jacob asked, his voice a slightly higher pitch with stress. Okay, Bella's doing great, but let's not push it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you're a gentleman. The first that ever came to my door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold up your head, boy, and be forever grateful unto them, which so did do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I didn't do this under any planning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the thing is, I wanted to surprise you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's a good thing, right? That's why I feel like coming to your house. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I have a lot of work to do. I'll talk to you later. Goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Idea. What? Maryam, you haven't practiced Pridal makeup yet, right? So? So, I was thinking that if you're crazy,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Practice. Practice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, not dolly!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raksha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was disturbed in these interesting ruminations by a sudden knock on the door. One of the ubiquitous small boys stood without, bearing an invitation from Colin himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was to be singing in the hall, he said, and the Mackenzie would be honored by my presence if I cared to come down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, with a quick glance in the looking glass and a futile smoothing of my hair,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole looked quite different at night, quite festive, with pine torches crackling all along the walls, popping with an occasional blue flare of turpentine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The huge fireplace with its multiple spits and cauldrons had diminished its activity since the frenzy of supper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now only the one large fire burned on the hearth, sustained by two huge slow burning logs, and the spits were folded back into the cavernous chimney. The tables and benches were still there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a small table with decanter and goblets within easy reach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing me hesitating in the archway, he beckoned me to his side with a friendly gesture, waving me onto a nearby bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pleased you've come down, Mr. Sclair, he said, pleasantly informal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gwilynn will be glad of a new ear for his songs, though we are always willing to listen. The Mackenzie chieftain looked rather tired, I thought. The wide shoulders slumped a bit, and the premature lines on his face were deeply cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I murmured something inconsequential, and looked around the hall. People beginning to drift in, and sometimes out, standing in small groups to chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lovely bell-shaped thing of pale green crystal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The liquid within, seen through the glass, seemed green as the sea depths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But once poured out, it proved to be a beautiful pale rose color with the most delicious bouquet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The taste was fully up to the promise, and I closed my eyes in bliss, letting the wine fumes tickle the back of my palate before reluctantly allowing each sip of nectar to trickle down my throat. Good, isn't it? The deep voice held a note of amusement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I open my eyes to find Conum smiling at me in approval.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I opened my mouth to reply and found that the smooth delicacy of the taste was deceptive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whine was strong enough to cause a mild paralysis of the vocal cords. W-wonderful. I managed to get out. Colum nodded. Aye, that it is. Rhenish, you know. You're not familiar with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shook my head as he tipped the decanter over my goblet, filling the bowl with a pool of glowing rose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turning it before his face so that the firelight lit the contents with thatches of a million. You know good wine, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colum said, tilting the glass to enjoy the rich fruit he sent himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's natural, I suppose, with your family French. Or half French, I should say. He corrected himself with a quick smile. What part of France do you folk come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Ivanka Trump, the most important job any woman can have is being a mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very long flight, but I'm here in Baku, Azerbaijan. Check it out. View from my balcony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, fortuitiveness, they had none of that, bro. They had all the passivity, all of the, uh, tackling mofo and picking him up. Oh, here you go, buddy. Like, nah, D.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's definitely true, bro. That's definitely true. We all, we all needing Willie Green in this. I mean, I'm sorry. Too early, Q.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry. Well, you know, I'm in Sixers heaven right now, so I'm feeling a little, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, not a real stab at it, I'm just saying if this cat don't get two, two D linemen in the first two rounds, I'm done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm done cause I know we picked up those two jet guys, but let's, let's be honest. We're, we're picking them up on potential. It's not necessarily what the track record was other than their scout guys against the run, you know, a la shades of our boy, uh, Malcolm Brown, uh, the one dude. But I mean, aside from that, they're not, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, you know, and then the fact that we lost Kayden, oh my boy, Kayden, you know how we opined for that dude in his beginning stages, you know, and then what he developed into, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we trust the boy we picked up last year? He's got great treats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DeMarco, but I mean, if, if, if we got one game where, or a small little stretch there where DeMario or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, uh, uh, number 20, damn it. It goes down. We're done. We're done at the, at the, at the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gonna happen to get somebody at some point to start, uh, uh, uh, grooming them for that left, that left guard position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the fact that we got Alvin, the fact that we got, uh, uh, old boy last year, Olave, you know, those were some great picks. But aside from that, all we get is superstar trench players and then very good D backs. We don't do anything other than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I don't know, man. I just hope we have a great draft and then Atlanta doesn't become who we not thinking they can become.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually, when I, uh, you know, introduce the couch, I say, do you all know each other? Uh, but now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jamie, you and I, bit goose-breed, because this is, I think, the first time we've ever had this, that you guys, you dated at one point. Yeah. Helen and I? Yes. Yes, darling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Helen had a break. She was filming. But she was in costume. And we were there just visiting. We hadn't started work yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the first AD or the second AD said, would you like to meet Hallamere? And I said, yeah, I'd love to. So, she walked from like a hundred yards away, dressed as Morgana Le Fay. And Cairns, my oldest friend, and we both went, fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This video is to demonstrate motion issues on the LG OLED55B6V.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, uh, there's been quite a few reports on various AV forums, uh, regarding motion problems, uh, mostly to do with stuttering and juddering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using this various test videos, I've been able to demonstrate. Excuse me. Demonstrate this in action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Settings I've used for this are with all motion processing disabled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is in PC mode and you will find that real cinema and true motion are non-selectable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball you need to pay attention to is the top ball, uh, which is 60 frames per second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll see that the ball transitions across the screen smoothly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is correct. Unfortunately, you can only get this to happen when you set the input to PC mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, other, uh, internal apps and TV tuner decoder. Um, you cannot select this mode. So you're stuck with whatever, um, image processing is being applied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I switch the input mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a standard HDMI or any of the other options apart from PC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see the ball at the top becomes stuttery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, the DJI does not get rid of the stutter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was followed on my way to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Far out in the North Atlantic. The Faroe Islands. Surprisingly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Filipino women comprise the largest ethnic minority here, some 10,000 kilometers from their homeland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Antoinette found different traditions, the love of her life, and a new life awaiting her on the Faroes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she's thrilled to celebrate Olafsuka, the island's national holiday. She's donning the national dress of the pharaohs for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be with her great love, Reagan Egghorn. She left the Philippines and all she knew behind her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the last five years, the Faroe Islands have been her new home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming from the tropics, adjusting to life in the chilly North Atlantic was a real culture shock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the height of summer, the temperature reaches just 12 degrees Celsius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in winter it's only light for a few hours each day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was working in a hotel there and he was a guest on holiday. For two years they wrote emails and phoned one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Antoinette plucked up her courage and followed Regan to the pharaohs. A year after they married, their daughter was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The baptism has proved a bit of a challenge for Antoinette. There's one Faroese custom she still struggles with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Antoinette has resigned herself to waiting until the baptism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the meantime, she makes the most of the few hours of sunshine. Her husband Reagan is a pharmacist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He spends most of his free time working on their house in Torshoun, the capital of the Faroe Islands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Antoinette had absolutely no idea what to expect. She'd never even heard of the Faroe Islands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The capital of the Philippines boasts some 13 million residents. Barely 20,000 live in her new hometown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Faroes comprise 18 islands made of volcanic rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some 50,000 people call this European outpost home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But living on an island surrounded by unspoiled nature can get lonely at times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The men left behind practice traditional professions and abide by traditional gender roles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the port of Torshan, Morten Johansson sells his catch of the day. His father and grandfather were also fishermen. It's tough work for the guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andreas is single, but many of his friends have partners from Southeast Asia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While many Faroese women are leaving the islands, Filipinas are arriving and taking their place. Banglitang is among them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For 12 years, Bang lived her dream life. She found love, security, and started a family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the mother of two daughters, she enjoyed her life on the remote Faroes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unable to accept this, she worked up the courage to separate from him. Since then, life hasn't been easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bang wasn't prepared to give up the life she'd made for herself on the pharaohs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she refused to stay with her husband purely for financial reasons. So she's found work to support herself and her children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fang has only ever returned to the Philippines once, with her daughters Karina and Johanna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's because Bang considers the pharaohs to be her home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She supports her parents in the Philippines whenever she can. But never for a second did she consider returning there after her separation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By contrast, Inji Lu and Didrikson Stroom wanted nothing more than to leave the pharaohs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like many Faroese women of her generation, she headed for Denmark as soon as she finished school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After attending university in Roskilde, she landed a job in Copenhagen. It was more exciting than life in the Faroes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why many young Faroese women never return. Though Injiluin has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when she was 24, Injeluin decided to return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three years ago, she and her Faroese husband Titor moved back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not long afterwards, their son Uni was born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Angelouine aims to become a role model for a new generation of self-confident Faroese women. That's why she's running for Parliament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her goal is to become the first woman under the age of 38 in the new parliament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says it's time to do away with old gender roles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, she's taking to the streets of the capital Torshont to get her message out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The remote islands are starting to move with the times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a Pharaoh Pride Parade held in Torshan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Angelouine, the parade is an important sign that mindsets are changing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Antoinette and Reagan's house, things are more traditional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Olavsuka, the national holiday, is just around the corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One Antonette will wear the traditional dress for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Antenet, the national dress is more than just a garment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was much tougher for the first Filipinas who came to the Faroes some two decades ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today they've come to meet Antoinette's new baby girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She studied to become a social educator at the University of the Faroe Islands and was the only Filipina student enrolled there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After separating from her husband, Bang knows that marrying a Faroese man doesn't necessarily guarantee a secure future. So she's learned to stand on her own two feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It helped that she didn't just have friends in the Filipino community, but also mixed with the locals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the evening before the Faroese National Holiday. Fang has invited her colleagues to dinner. They love the Filipino dishes she prepares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After 12 years of marriage, raising two children, and separating from her husband, Bang is creating another life for herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Antoinette and Reagan are getting ready for the national holiday. A special delicacy is on the menu. Whale meat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even after spending five years in the Faroes, Antoinette still finds some of the island's traditions hard to stomach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Antoinette still isn't entirely sure what they celebrate on the national holiday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Olafsuka, which means St. Olaf's Wake, is the most important day of the year in the Faroes. Everyone comes out to celebrate this national holiday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of Europe's most remote regions shows how integration can work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is her eighteenth Olafsuka, and she plans to take part for years to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's that you see a mirror, maybe, of how we have developed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale felt her heart unexpectedly flinch when Roland got hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The surrounding noise suddenly faded out and she desperately wanted to help him up, but her body was cold and stiff, leaving both of her hands trembling slightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than her internal exclamation, she was not even able to take a step towards him. She was afraid that Roland would freeze in her arms. She was also afraid that he would never wake up again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simply thinking about it made it hard for Nightingale to breathe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had not been this overwhelmed since she recovered her memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna was still the first to react. Rushing over, she squatted and covered his entire wound with a massive black fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It started to smoke under the lightless fire which was emitting a buzzing sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland's broken arm was charred once the black fire dissipated. The trickling blood had stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, this was the emergency measures he was talking about during the first aid class. What to do next?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrap up the wound and quickly send him to the hospital for Nana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale swallowed her saliva and looked around the basket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they can't. Nana isn't in the hot air balloon, but back in Border Town. We'll have to go back. We must go back as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She slowly turned her head to the southeast, in the direction of the town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, the ferocious image of the demons bared fangs and claws flashed through Nightingale's mind, bringing her thoughts back to the basket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All at once her hearing returned and Nightingale could hear a cacophony of shouts from the panicking witches, the sound of gunshots, and the roar of the enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the cold had subsided, she was able to arrange her thoughts into a sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way to return to Border Town in time without first defeating the demons. Lightning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna anxiously shouted, protect the hot air balloon so it can land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the little girl looked pale from seeing Roland unconscious, she nodded and clenched her teeth as she floated up from the basket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Nightingale thought. Look at her appearance. She won't be able to take on a demon, like most of the witches. She's never experienced combat with a real enemy before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only person here who could defeat the demons was Nightingale herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking a deep breath, she pushed all thoughts of the injured Roland from her mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two demons were still attacked them from the front and rear. Fortunately, their spear throwing arms were dry and thin like fire kindling, which indicated that it would take them a while to recover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demons were about 50 meters away from the hot air balloon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This distance was not enough for her since she could easily fall while spreading her mist in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The further her distance was from the ground, the fewer flashing lines there were, and if she stayed on the same line for a long time, she could easily be torn into pieces during the change of direction and the up and down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The enemies realized that the battle would become harder for them once the hot air balloon touched down on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One demon was shouting something while waving its left hand, then at only three fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it pulled up on its mount, flying straight towards the hot air balloon, while the other demon kept pouncing towards lightning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demonic beast with the gigantic flapping wings was stalking her just like that an eagle hunts a squab, wearing her out by forcing her to constantly dodge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Nightingale expected, Lightning could avoid taking damage due to her flexibility, but she was unable to aim and fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the other witches were afraid of hurting the little girl and had ceased their fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demon that was flying towards the hot air balloon commanded its mounts to bite and scratch the airbag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily, Saria's special coating was tough enough to withstand the claws and teeth of the demonic hybrid, and it could not get a grip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] realizing that it was having no effect, it roared and flew further from the balloon, which appeared as if it were going to knock the balloon off kilter. Nightingale saw our opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stood directly on the airbag as the silhouette of the hot air balloon started to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although her body was parallel to the ground, she felt like she was walking upright and quickly climbed to the top of the balloon. At this moment, the demon was rushing back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the black and white world, Nightingale was surprised to find that there was a mass of magic, a magic cyclone that was slowly rotating within the demon's body, and a sparkling stone that was embedded in its thin arm. Even they have magic power?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, now is not the time to worry about this, and it was time for her over 10 meter sprint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale jumped out from the mist and appeared behind the demon, just as it was about to hit the hot air balloon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The body of the demonic beast with the gigantic wings began to sink due to a sudden increase in the weight it was carrying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realizing something was wrong, the demon quickly turned back, but it was greeted by the roaring 12mm pistol. Go to hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bullets rushed out of the barrel, flames, and the smoke surrounding it, before instantly penetrating the demon's headpiece, blowing a bowl-sized hole out of the back of its head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a thick spray of blood, followed by a pungent smell that permeated the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The enemy fell down, still twitching, and the demonic beast rolled across the hot air balloon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, while Nightingale was trying to return to the top of the airbag, the falling body pulled the reins to the side and the mount flipped pulling her with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not have time to react and was not able to return to a safe distance on her own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the balloon had been descending, it was still over 100 meters away from the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Entering her mist during a fall would be akin to committing suicide. She would be cut in half if she hit any thread during the uncontrolled fall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She heard her sister screaming in horror, but there was no helping the situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning was fighting with the remaining demon and Maggie would not have enough strength to pull her up, even if she transformed into a sea eagle. Nightingale was sure of her impending death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The speed of her fall was increasing, Nightingale looked down, seeing that the original blur of the ocean had revealed its true appearance, and she could clearly see the rolling water and waves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was almost as if she was not the one falling but it was the sea that was rushing towards her. Her mind became clearer the closer she was to the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale closed her eyes and remembered when she had met Roland, replaying the memory fragments behind her closed eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was sitting on the edge of the bed, playing with the dagger in her hands, waiting for the grey-haired Prince Roland to come in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The swaying fire, the door, and the bedroom were gradually fading and finally she was only left with Roland's smiling face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale opened her eyes and saw a white figure heading straight downwards, rushing towards her chest. It was Maggie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As she was about to say something, the pigeon produced a blinding white light and instantly expanded in stature, producing gigantic wings from her back as the previous feathers fell off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie was roaring loudly as she caught Nightingale with her claws and threw her forcefully upwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maggie turned around and roared again as if she was trying to tell her something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time she understood Maggie's words without needing translation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although, she was not clear as to how Maggie transformed into this beast, defeating the demon was a more important matter to address. Let's go, she exclaimed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The situation instantly reversed when Maggie was carrying Nightingale back to join the battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demons angrily roared and it was forced to give up the pursuit of lightning. It rolled over and dived down straight toward Maggie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The arm that had not yet fully recovered once again raised the spear and quickly swelled up, the skin cracking and blood spraying out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The strike was still strong. However, the spear that was thrown out was not as powerful as before. At least Nightingale could catch the path of the flying spear a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gigantic target suddenly disappeared, and the spear flew by both of them, making a whistling sound and fell into the sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the next moment, Nightingale appeared from the mist and returned to Maggie's back who was in her demonic beast form. The entire dodging process went smoothly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demon was crying in pain, and its arms were shrinking inward, finally even collapsing inch by inch, like a dry bark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, its left hand was still clenching the reins and manipulating the mount to collide into both of them as if the demon wanted to kill the witches along with itself. Maggie obviously would not do as it wished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She suddenly descended and flew across the enemy when they were about to collide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she restored her balance, Nightingale on her back had disappeared. The latter appeared behind the demon like a ghost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The enemy was scrambling to untie the rope that fixed its body, and Nightingale would definitely not give it the chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She angrily pulled the trigger and shots rang out continuously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shooting this time not only broke the shell on the demon's back, but also through its chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The enemy loudly roared and soon fell into the blood fog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, the demonic beast which lost its master was killed by lightning. It fell into the sea and soon disappeared. Cloud Gazer slowly landed by the shore. What should we do next?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale looked anxiously at Anna, who probably was the only one to stay calm at this time. It has been delaying for so long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hot air balloon would only arrive border town at midnight even if we're flying in the night, Anna slowly said. Prince Roland must be carried by Lightning and Maggie and depart first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She probably felt bad bad as an explorer. She was afraid of fighting with the enemy leading everyone into trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witches tied the unconscious prince on the back of Maggie, and the broken arm would be carried by lightning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both of them quickly flew into the sky towards the town along Redwater River. What about us? Wendy asked. My magic power is running out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Continue to fly, and we have to fly as far as we can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The enemy may send a second team to search for us, and it's too close from the snow mountain here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to leave as soon as possible, Anna said. We'll find a hidden place to camp after we reach the safe place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her decision was unanimously agreed by the other witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cloudgazer rose up again, and there were only five people left in the basket. How did the demon find us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saraya said with Puzzleman, the hot air balloons and baskets are painted with skylight camouflage, and it's hard to discern at a height of more than 2,000 meters even with a telescope. A huge demon. Sylvie Fround.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It crouched on the top of a black spire with a head bigger than the body and it was covered with countless eyes. I just took a glance at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All its eyes looked at me, and then hundreds of demons came out from the ground as if the whole area was boiling. There's still such a monster. Saria gasped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only that, both of the flying mounts are also very strange. Anna said while thinking, the blood that gushed out from their body after getting shot wasn't black like the ink but dark blue colored, and it was completely different from the demonic hybrid we encountered in the months of demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, it's good that Maggie can transform into them, Wendy emotionally said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's not for her to save Nightingale, we're probably going to be in danger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's able to evolve. Nightingale, who was quiet, suddenly said, I could see the magic power in her body is no longer a massive rotating cyclone but has turned into a fixed appearance. It looked like a pair of white wings when I was in the mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning was hugging his highness arm, feeling extremely guilty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demons simply looked ferocious, but they were not undefeatable in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His Royal Highness would not be so seriously injured if Lightning left the basket to stop the enemy from the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To come forward to protect the companion was an obligatory responsibility of the explorers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thunder would be the first to lead the soldiers to break through all the dangerous during the Fjords Sea adventure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would never step back whether it was against the pirates or the deep sea monsters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first time, Lightning realized that the distance for her to be an outstanding explorer was still very far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, she remembered her father also mentioned that fear could be resolved through the understanding and familiarity while the skills could be mastered through the repeated training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her voice was hoarse and muddy as compared to when she was a pigeon. It felt like the wind that blew out of the stone cave. I could feel his body getting colder. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The little girl tightened her fists, turned around, and flew to Maggie's back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland looked totally lifeless with his eyes closed, pale lips, and messy grey hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blood on his clothes was solidified, and the burnt black wounds looked extremely horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She gently put her hand on his neck, a weak beat proving that the prince was still alive but his fingertips were scarily cold. How much magic power do you left with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning estimated the journey and said, we have to move forward at full speed. Sure, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When both of them arrived in Border Town, the little girl was already feeling dizzy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The extremely high speed not only quickly depleted her magic power, but also was a great burden to her body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She clenched her teeth and used her final effort to fall directly into the parvis of the castle and shouted at the guards who were rushing into the parvis after hearing the noise. Quickly summon for Miss Nana. Prince Roland, His Highness is wounded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland opened his eyes and found himself lying on a big soft bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a familiar ceiling above his head and even every crack coincided with his memory. This is my bedroom. He turned his head to look at both of his shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He even tried to move both of his arms and they were working fine. Everything was like a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he knew that it was not a dream and that the investigation of the demon and the attack were facts. Things that had certainly happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He attempted to prop himself up but his arms felt feeble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just when he was about to call for someone, he saw a row of witches leaning against the wall opposite the end of his bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna, Nightingale, Lightning, Maggie, and Nana, they were all leaning against each other and breathing smoothly with their eyes slightly closed. They looked like they were sound asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland quietly lifted up one corner of the curtains, and he found that the sun was rising from Redwater River. It looked like a dazzling gold was sprinkled upon the earth. You are awake?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned around and Anna already opened her eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before he could refute her statement, Anna firmly hugged him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The arms that were buckling behind him were powerful that they were almost embedded in his flesh. Anna's actions awoke the other witches. Your highness. They stood up in surprise and came around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second to hug Roland was Lightning, followed by Nana, and then Maggie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale hesitated for a while and then held everyone in her arms from behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a long time, everyone hugged in a group like they did not want to let go. The moment seemed to freeze time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After breakfast, Roland figured out what had happened after listening to the detailed story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witches defeated the demon pursuers together and let Lightning and Maggie bring him back first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His broken arm quickly recovered after he was brought back to the castle to accept Nana's treatment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he lost consciousness for an entire day due to the severe blood loss. It was now the fourth day since the departure date. The action this time was a little careless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland did not expect the demon to actually discover the hot air balloon that was coated with the skylight camouflage from over five kilometers away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Sylvie, the giant multi-eyed demon did not appear to notice them until she had fixed her eyes upon it, and it was at that moment that it instantly aimed at her with its eyeballs. He had never heard of this investigation method before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than Sylvie's eye of truth, even looking through a telescope, everything would be a blur at such a distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was even more difficult to see what the demon was doing over such a distance as the red mist was covering the top of the spire. But still the demon discovered them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having said that, the harvest of the intelligence was incredibly good despite the fact that they had incurred major risks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demon was no longer a mysterious and unknowable hell messenger. They owned urban and organizational systems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They belong to a higher evolution of civilization, just like humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, the demons were not strong in the air. At least those in the area behind the snow mountain were not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hundreds of demons drilled out from the ground and they had ended up with only two of them pursuing them on mounts, which meant that flying was still a rare ability for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For now, it was still unknown whether the mounts were rare or the riders were rare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, in general, this was good news for Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least he did not have to worry about a group of demons coming around from the south side of the mountain and going straight into the western region to burn and loot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, it was also an important discovery that the demons possessed magic power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Nightingale's report, although the magic power of the demons running after them was scarce, it formed a cyclone which was very eye-catching under the mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the way they activated the magic power seemed to be completely different from the witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They did not activate it by themselves, but they used some kind of mechanism, such as a glowing stone to release the power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not as flexible as the abilities of the witches, but it was a more standardized weapon which they could mass produce. Of course, that was just speculation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, the demon's bodies had all fallen into the sea and so Roland could not verify it further. The last point was the building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those small and slender black stone spires were not the demon's residences and the material was also quite strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The surface did not have any traces of red mist corrosion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the stone spires were empty inside while others were filled with red liquid inside, similar to a storage tank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps the red mist in the sky was formed by the liquid after its gasification.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps the demons did not further expand their territory to barbarian land, nor the four kingdoms due to the gas coverage limitation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, they would, at least temporarily, not pose any threat to the security of border town, according to the comprehensive information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, Roland also knew that since humans had been driven away from barbarian land by the demons over 400 years ago, perhaps they would come back again someday. So he had to be prepared for that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Night has fallen, and due to the blood loss, Roland quickly retired to bed after casually dealing with a few decrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was preparing to blow out the candle and go to bed after reading half of the history book on his bed when someone knocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was slightly stunned and climbed out of the bed to open the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time she did not have a thick book in her hands about secondary physics or natural science theoretical foundation as she had done previously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With nothing in her hands, she was walking into the room dressed in a white sleeping robe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not even wear shoes and her delicate feet touched the floor without making any noises. Roland swallowed his saliva. Anna shut the door behind her and locked it. Then she held Roland's hand and walked to the bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her flowing hair had just been washed and it was flashing with the golden light of the candle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It smelled fragrant when he was close to her, and the enchanting fragrance was not from rose scented soap, but from her own body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her long eyelashes were slightly trembling and her cheeks were blushing. Her blue eyes looked like autumn water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although she looked a little nervous, there was no trace of anxiousness, and she stared at Roland determined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He understood Anna's meaning despite the fact that he had never experienced anything like it. Ahem, this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to wait anymore, Anna whispered, especially after experiencing such a terrifying encounter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She paused and continued to say, I don't want any regrets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand, said Roland, lifting her up by her waist and gently putting her on the bed. However, such simple action had made him breathless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He uncovered the thin blanket and turned into the bed while Anna moved closer to him from the side and rested her head on his arm. Should the next step be foreplay? He noticed that himself was getting nervous as well. It can't go on like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As someone experienced, I can't possibly make a fool of myself in front of the lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It may be necessary to ease the atmosphere with some simple chit chatting before taking action, such as telling a dirty joke,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland startled as he did not expect Anna to ask this question. I just subconsciously did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the ruler of the kingdom of Grey Castle and the witch's hope. She whispered, I'm not worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about your worthiness, Roland said with a light chuckle. I couldn't simply sit there and watch you being attacked. In fact, I thought it over again after I woke up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if I had time to think about it before I did it, I'll still do the same if things did not happen so suddenly. I can't stop you, can I? Well, no. Roland pinched her nose with his other hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He searched the memory of Prince Roland, but he stopped when he was about to tell a few funny stories in the palace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His past did not belong here, but another completely different world. I used to live in a big city, and it was really, really big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the kingdom of Grey Castle is many times bigger than Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was not different from the common people. Witty, but not very smart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was always praised by the teacher because I was studying really hard. However, he didn't know that the stubborn doodles on the wall were painted by me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, he didn't dare to blame you. Anna softly whispered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haha, not really. He didn't need to do anything to me as long as he told my parents. Roland shook his head with a smile. They showed no mercy when they were punishing me back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, my teacher kept changing as I grew older from elementary teacher to mentor, and I finally completed all my studies with neither good nor bad grades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, after all, I was always a bit worse than the other kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was slowly telling his experience after slight rendering it with his eyes half closed as it had been a long time since he experienced such an open and unbridled communication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had been playing Prince Roland's role since he came here, and he felt that he had returned to the past at this moment as if he was lying in a classical hotel with the girl he liked, sharing about their daily life, and he felt gradually relaxed. Maybe it's time for the next step?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland slightly turned his head, but he found that Anna had closed her eyes while her chest that was rested on his side body was undulating like a cat that fell asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking about it, the witches were curling up to hide in a small cave in the mountains and they had to always beware of the wild beasts and demons attack that they almost did not sleep for an entire night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, they had to continue Rising Cloud Glazer up at the dawn to return to Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anna had spent an entire night looking after him in his bedroom after they returned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, she was tired now as all the exhaustion easily erupted under such restless circumstances since she had not taken rest for two days and two nights. Perhaps her decision was also made in an anxious waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although he felt a little unfortunate, Roland did not really care about that as they still had a long way to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He leaned forward to kiss Anna's long eyelashes and softly said, Good night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the morning light shone through the crack of the curtain into the room, Sylvie got up from the big bed and yawned a few times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The experience these few days was like an unbelievable dream since they were being discovered by the demon to the air battle and finally escaped and returned to Border Town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She felt that it would not be as nervous and exhausted even if they were chased by the judgment army from the church. Good morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sylvie disapprovingly curled her lips as she clearly saw Nightingale when invisible and headed to the third floor of the castle, wandering in front of Roland's room for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Sylvie did not know what she was doing due to Nightingale's special ability, she came back very late at night anyway. Last night, didn't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale suddenly turned around and stared at Sylvie who was just about to speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her squinting eyes were self evident and Sylvie quickly stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The strength of the number one combat witch in the witch cooperation association was obvious, and the scene of her killing the demon in the air like a fleeting ghost was still vivid in Sylvie's mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lady Ashes would not even be her opponent if she was put in Sleeping Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sylvie felt she was better not be overly curious with her silent warning. What happened last night? Wendy curiously asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahem, Sylvie said. I heard her snoring last night, and it probably because of too much energy consumption these few days. I think so too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale shrugged and took off her sleeping gown, revealing her well coordinated body and began to wear the bra given by his highness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of it, Wendy had completely accepted the bra now, and she even had the tendency to recommend it to Sylvie. His Highness Roland is really a scary man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, Sylvie felt warm in her heart when she thought of him this time. There's really a noble who's willing to be wounded for a witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was touched when she saw Roland pushed Anna away regardless of his personal safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Witch is in the Witch Cooperation Association was not controlled by him, but is important following, even companions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His reflected action could not deceive that he was indeed truthfully standing on the witch's side, just like Tilly Wimbledon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland and Tilly might be able to set up a new kingdom without any distinction between the witches and normal people if they could stand together hand in hand and gather both forces. She decided to write a letter to Lady Tilly. It's wonderful that Your Highness Roland is your brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 299 The Intelligence and the Messenger Garden Mansion of Inner City in the Kingdom of Grey Castle Today was the Scheduled Information Exchange Day


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theo was sitting on a couch in the living room waiting for the arrival of the members of the Dove and Hat Acrobatic Troop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The inner city's door closed early in the evening after autumn so that the secret party had to be changed to the afternoon. Hill Fox was always the first to reach the mansion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was wearing a blue velvet open collar jacket with a pair of light grey tights and moccasins along with a white tie around his neck, just like a noble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After paying his respect, he passed the history of the kingdom's customs to Theo whom later took the book and glanced through with great interest. You finished reading?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he'll nodded and said with hesitation, will you teach me some sword fighting or assassination skills? What for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mentioned that you would train me into a qualified intelligence officer during the outbreak of evil spirits. He scratched his head and said, but so far you've only given me some strange and eccentric books to read. You mean the customs history?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Theo poured himself a glass of wine and put two ice cubes into it. This isn't some strange and eccentric books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It records the nobility origin, tradition, caiman, and the famous specialty of each area of the kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As an informant, first of all, you need to be knowledgeable to tell the value of the news from each area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case, I might as well directly spend more gold royals to bribe the insiders. But not everyone can be bribed. Hill insisted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's equally difficult to send a mole into a strictly controlled organization. And it's not possible to sneak in without more than 10 to 20 years of effort. Theo shook the glass and took a gulp of the wine.
