Blue Archive Eri bond episode 3
E: Master...
E: My mana hasn't recovered since the exam.
E: I can't think of anything when I open my grimoires.
E: What should I do...?
S: Perhaps you would like to have a change of scenery, near Schale?
E: Wow, I'm already feeling better hearing that from you
E: Could it be...
E: [Mystic speech]- enchanted words!?
E: But that magic was lost forever ago...!
E: Where did you learn such ancient magic...!?
E: ...
E: Ha...
E: Sorry
E: Usually I'd be more energetic talking about magic
E: But I'm just not feeling it today
E: But I'll accept your offer
E: I'll be there in a second

You meet a schale

E: Good morning, master.
E: Well well, it's been some time since I went outside of the academy like this.
E: Whoa... how... fun~
S: Y-you alright...?
E: No worries
E: Despite how I look, I'm still pretty excited for today, y'know?
E: But when I close my eyes... my exam submission- no, the evil monster of my own making appears in my mind.
E: Ahh!!! I've remembered it again! This is exactly why I need to use memory omitting magic...!

She hits her head with a book

S: N-now now, stop hitting yourself with that!
E: Phew...
E: I guess I need a different magic for this situation.
E: Master, how do you suggest I recover my mana...?
S: I have a healing spell in mind, one that can soothe hungry souls
E: Wow, that sounds cool.
E: I wanna try it!

You go to a restaurant

E: Oh, this is...?
S: The ramen restaurant I always visit./It's close to my office and the food's good!
E: A place Master visits often...
E: ...I understand. The smell of the mana here confirms it as such.
E: This is indeed a place to give rest to hungry souls.
E: I am pretty hungry myself, not just my soul. Oh, there's empty seats over there.
E: Um... do you have any recommendations, Master?
S: How about tonkotsu
E: I see... so the mana is extracted over time from magical bones
E: Truly the perfect magical drink for one is magic starved
E: I'll follow your example and have some myself!

I nourished my hungry soul with Eri
Go to the street

E: Ah... I feel my body flowing with mana
S: Once your powers have been restored, lets check out the library./There's a lot of occult books you'd enjoy
E: Oh, we're at a library?
E: Occult related research is pretty interesting, but I'm also curious about the banned books at my academy.
E: Maybe my knowledge will improve even more with those forbidden books
S: A-and what kind of forbidden book are we talking about here?
E: For example: "An beginner's guide to ropework"
E: By learning various ways on how to tie knots, you'll be able to escape the dorm supervisors more easily
S: I suppose that's why it's banned?
E: Not just that, I've also heard...
E: Some performance artist tied themselves up and walked around town
E: Apparently it was an "obscene binding method", but I'm not too sure of the details
E: Would you know anything about it?
S: I'm not really sure myself...
E: Well, we'll probably find out once we read the book
E: Hehehe, now I have something to look forward to.

Afterwards, we read a variety of books
We continued to travel through various places, restoring Eri's depleted mana

E: Wa... we had a lot of fun today.
E: Thank you so much, I liked it a lot
S: Same here, thanks to you
E: In moments like these, how about a commemoration?
E: Master, want a photo?
S: Sure!
E: Nyufufu, then I'll take the photo, look at the camera-
E: One, Two, Three!
E: Let's see...
E: Ah, that was a good shot!
E: ...
E: Once more, photographs prove themselves useful
E: With just one touch of a button, you can capture the scenery right in front of you
E: But... I suppose that's why many artists saw the emergence of photography as a threat
E: If you wish to capture something in front of you, a photo takes only a second. Sometimes, it may even receive more praise than a painting you made.
E: But artists didn't give up
E: They projected onto the canvas the "inner landscapes" and "sensations" only they could see
E: I'm sure people championed the strength of art as something "which cannot be seen" at the time
E: Reaching the hearts of people through art... I also wanted to paint that invisible sensation
S: It remains even now, doesn't it?
E: Of course! Same with how I love the occult!
E: Please keep watching over me! Some day I'll become famous... so famous that my paintings will be hung in everyone's homes!
S: I'd like one right away./Mind if I make a reservation?
E: Eh, right now?
E: T-that's a bit difficult right now, but please wait patiently! I swear I'll definitely give you a splendid painting someday!
E: Yeah, I won't stop here
E: Thank you, Master. I remembered my original feelings about art.
E: I'll do my best. For you who believes in me!
S: I'll root for you all the way!
E: Ehehe...
E: it's so weird
E: I'd been feeling down all day, but now with you here, I'm as fit as a fiddle...
E: Master, are you sure you haven't mastered [mystic speech]?

Eri's expression brightened up a lot, and we talked about our dreams together
Afterwards, I took her back to school before it got too late
momotalk

E: Did you get home safely?
E: Today gave me a lot to think about...
E: It was a truly magical day...
E: It feels like my magic levels have increased twofold
S: Think you'll be mastering "World Creation Magic" any time soon?
E: Well, that's a bit...
E: At the very least, I can use a derivative of it
E: Which is creating a world within the limits of a canvas...
E: Nyufufu
E: I'm looking forward to seeing you next time!
