01. A morning with Nanoha and Vivio
Fate: The little girl that was secured together with the relics on that day of the emergency mobilization, Vivio. As an artificial mage, she had no parents, no relatives and no place to go. It is in that condition, the first person she met when she woke up, was Riot Force 6’s tactical (Battle Tactics) instructor and my best friend, Takamachi Nanoha. It is probably thanks to that encounter; Vivio strangely grew attached to Nanoha. Nanoha had decided to be become her guardian until a more suitable arrangement can be made. I also offered my assistance as a second guardian. And so….
Nanoha: Okay, Vivio, I will be going off then.
Fate: I am going as well.
Vivio: Uhmm….
Nanoha: Aina-san, I will be relying on your help.
Aina: Yes, understood. Okay Vivio, now say “have a safe trip” to your mamas.
Vivio: Hmm… Mama~! (glomps Nanoha)
Nanoha: Now, now, Vivio.
Fate: You can’t do that, Vivio. Nanoha mama will be back in the afternoon, right?
Vivio: Hmm…
Teana: Ah… um, er…
Subaru: Good morning…..
Nanoha: Subaru, Teana.
Erio & Caro: Good morning.
Fate: Caro, Erio. Good morning.
Aina: Come on Vivio
Vivio: Mmm….
Nanoha: Let’s go for a stroll together in the afternoon, ok? Then we’ll have a leisurely lunch by the lake/sea.
Vivio: Really?
Nanoha: As long as Vivio behaves and wait for me here.
Vivio: I’ll be good and wait here…
Nanoha: Yeah…Then I’m going now, Vivio.
Fate: I’m going.
Vivio: Have a safe trip
Aina: Now say “have a safe trip” to Caro, Subaru and the rest as well.
Vivio: Have a safe trip!
Forwards: Thanks… we’ll be going then.
Nanoha: *Sigh*…
Fate: Thanks for the hard work.
Nanoha: Oh-… Why are you all waiting for me? You all could have gone on ahead first.
Subaru: Ah… Regarding that, how do I put it …
Teana: Er, it’s rather interesting… or not…
Erio: Or maybe there is something we can do to help.
Caro: Hence the wait.
Fate: All right now. Deployment time. Time to work, time to work.
Forwards: Yes.
Nanoha: Yes
Fate: Vivio calls Nanoha, mama and always clings onto her.
Aina: All right, I switch on the television for you. Remember to switch it off when you don’t want to watch anymore.
Vivio: Yup.
Aina: I will be cleaning the room then. If there’s anything, call for me. Don’t go out of the room by yourself.
Vivio: Okay.
Fate: With absolutely no memory of having a mother, Vivio assumes those who are kind and gentle to her are her mothers. I also became “Fate mama” to Vivio as well.
Caro: Fate-san must be having a tough time as well.
Fate: Not really, since it seems Vivio thinks Nanoha as her real mother more.
Erio: Is it that so?
Subaru: She also said she loves Fate-mama too.
Fate: Well, I’m happy to know that.
Teana: But if Vivio keeps saying that she loves Fate-mama, the two kids/midgets here will get envious/jealous.
Erio & Caro: HEY?!!
Subaru: Hehe… We hit the nail on the head, didn’t we?
Caro: Why should we be envious? That’s not going to happen.
Erio: We’re not children any more.
Teana: Er… No… You’re still kids….
Subaru: Ahaha… Somehow they seem to be rather serious about it.
Teana: What happened exactly…?
Caro: Er, about that… Fate-san?
Erio: is there anything wrong?
Fate: Ah… sorry about that. No, nothing is wrong.
Erio: Is that so…?
Fate: Matters regarding Nanoha and Vivio as well as my two small charges, Erio and Caro. The intricate and yet subtle relationship between a mother and child, situations revolving around it, these matters have recently been troubling me, Fate Testarossa Harlaown.

02 Alto and Lucino in the lounge/break room (lit: hot water room)
Hayate: From that time onwards, there have been no reports or sightings of relics.
Alto: Gadgets disappear as soon as they appear. There are also no sightings of the combat cyborgs or the summoner.
Hayate: Somehow this seems too peaceful…
Lucino: Is this the calm before the storm? (Something big is going to happen?)
Hayate: If it continues like (i.e nothing is wrong, all is fine) this, it’s for the best. But I don’t think such a situation is possible.
Alto: Yeah….
Hayate: Anyway, we can make use of this opportunity to let the investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter as well as letting the forwards and the other staff to rest/prepare as much as possible.
Lucino: Ah, this is the new shift plan.
Alto: The forwards, other than daily training and following on leads will be able to rest as much as possible.
Hayate: Ah… This is fine then. Thank you very much, Alto, Lucino.
Alto & Lucino: Yes.
Hayate: Although it is very busy around here, both of you need to rest well too. Not only that, take this time to learn as much as possible for your future.
Alto: Thank you.
Lucino: We will strike a balance between learning and resting while working.
Hayate: Oh… I will not around in the afternoon. I am also bringing the vice-captains and Rein along. In that duration…
Lucino: Yes, if there is an emergency, we will await instructions from Nanoha-san, Fate-san…
Alto: and Griffith-san. Other than that, we are to be on standby (i.e resting)
Hayate: I will leave everything to you then.
Lucino: Yes.
Alto: Now if you will excuse us…
In the meantime we can relax a bit
Lucino: Umm. Why don’t we go to the lounge, grab a cup of tea and take a break?
Alto: Sounds good? There are some snacks to go with the tea right?
Alto: Come to think of it… Be it commander Yagami, Nanoha-san or Fate-san, our captains are remarkable.
Lucino: Actually, the age difference between them and us is pretty small too.
Alto: While chatting with Subaru just now, she was talking how we will be gaining experience in the bureau after our stint here and will be promoted or something. I seriously can’t envision myself in a command position.
Lucino: My thoughts exactly. You and I both started out as administrative personnel, we might have juniors, but having subordinates…
Alto: After all this, if Subaru is successful, she might be made section leader or (platoon commander) captain in a few years. As for Teana, if she successfully navigates through the enforcer exam, she will become an enforcer aide/adjutant or something like that. As for Caro and Erio, I can’t think of what will they become.
Lucino: Those two kids never thought of becoming full fledge bureau personnel and be promoted and stuff.
Alto: They probably just want to be together with Fate-san.
Lucino: This must be the reason why they wanted to be in Riot Force 6.
Alto: Hmm, this is tasty.
Lucino: Hmm, you’re right…
Alto: Hehe…
Lucino: Of course the more compelling reason is that their abilities coincide with Riot Force 6’s requirements. The both of them never have any plans of becoming assistant officers.
Alto: Hmm… This is best course of action if they want to be at Fate-san’s side.
Lucino: In actual fact, there are many instances where parents make their children aides.
Alto: I see… Sergeant Major Rein in that sense fits into this scenario.
Lucino: Indeed. I think I will have one more.
Alto: Me too. Ah… Then about Lucino’s family…
Lucino: Hmm? My father, mother and sisters, grandfather and grandmother are also alive and well. Only my grandfather and I are bureau members.
Alto: It’s like that isn’t it?
Lucino: I am second one among the trio of sisters. Alto is the same I think.
Alto: Hmm… elder brother, elder brother, me and my little brother.
Lucino: *laughs. That’s it then.
Alto: Eh?? Eh!!
Lucino: Perhaps it’s due to that sort of family situation that, before the age of seven, you thought that you are a boy.
Alto: Ah!!! How did you know that!!?
Lucino: That is what Sergeant Vice told all of us at the logistics department. After that when you turned seven, in the school’s toilet…..
Alto: Ah !!!
Shari: Alto, Lucino, why are you making such a racket in the lounge?
Alto: Ah… Pardon me (for my outburst)
Lucino: Forgive me as well. But it is regarding Alto’s secret….
Shari: Eh?? Oh it is regarding the event in the school’s toilet when she was seven….
Alto: Ah!!!
Lucino: It seems that everyone knows about it.
Shari: *laughs* Sorry about that. As it was a rather funny event… I told it to quite a few people too.
Alto: Sergeant Vice… He promised me that he would keep it a secret…
Shari: Ah… I also heard of other stuff from Signum-san as well….
Lucino: Eh? What is it, what is it?
Alto: *wails* Please, no more….
Shari: What is done when young is nothing to be embarrassed about…. (It’s a fun tale from back when you were a kid, so why not?)
Nanoha: What is that all about?
(Alto: It’s embarrassing for me, please don’t talk about it anymore….)
Subaru: It’s probably about the embarrassing stuff Alto did when she was young.
Teana: It has become a rather popular/well known topic among Riot Force 6 younger personnel.

03. Hayate together with the Guardian Knights.
Hayate: It’s already afternoon, time to get a move on. Vita, Shamal, Signum, Zafira, are all the preparations done?
Guardian Knights: Yes.
Hayate: Rein too.
Rein: Sorry for the wait.
Shamal: I have not been to the Saint Church for quite a while.
Vita: I have not really been there actually.
Rein: Signum always goes there.
Signum: Indeed.
Shamal: It is because Sister Schach is a good friend of Signum.
Signum: Good friend huh? It is true we are well-acquainted (looks out for me)….
Vita: You both enjoy simulated/mock battles together, good enough to be friends right? Sister Schach is passionate about sparring (healthy competition) too.
Signum: It is very rude to say it so casually. (Don’t speak of her so light, it’s rude)
Rein: Yes, yes. Let’s go then.
Erio: Commander Yagami and the vice captains have all gone out
Shari: Hmm, to the Saint Church.
Fate: Then, it’s our turn to move out as well.
Shari: To take a look at the nearby investigation group and their premises (garrison).
Erio & Caro: Yes.
Caro: Vivio is having lunch with Nanoha-san right now.
Erio: Yup.

04 Vivio’s memories, Nanoha’s thoughts
Nanoha: Does it taste good?
Vivio: Yup!
Nanoha: Ah, hey now … You got some on your mouth…
Vivio: Uhm…
Nanoha: Don’t spill/drop it okay?
Vivio: Okay
Vivio: Ah, Mama, say ahhh….
Nanoha: Ahhhh…umn
Vivio: Does it taste good?
Nanoha: It’s delicious.
Vivio: Oh, Mama, what is this?
Nanoha: Oh… Caramel milk that was made in the tea room/lounge.
Vivio: Ah… It has such a nice sweet smell/fragrance.
Nanoha: Isn’t it? This is the reward for finishing all these sandwiches.
Vivio: Hmn… Heh heh… Umn…
Nanoha: Hmm this is also delicious too.
Vivio: About that Mama… Nanoha mama…
Nanoha: Hmm?
Vivio: Although Nanoha mama is not my real mama but I love you more as compared to the real one.
Nanoha: Thank you, Vivio, but Vivio still does not remember anything about her real mama isn’t it? So it will be weird if a comparison is made.
Vivio: …
Nanoha: Vivio’s real mama is definitely out there somewhere. Vivio will suddenly remember (her) one day.
Vivio: Is there even a real mama?
Nanoha: There is… Definitely…
Vivio: It will be great if Nanoha mama is my real mama…
Nanoha: Um… My thoughts exactly…
Vivio: Hmm?
Nanoha: I also want to be together with Vivio but if I do not do my job properly, people will be troubled…. People like Subaru and Teana, Erio and Caro, Fate mama and Hayate-chan.
Vivio: Oh…
Nanoha: Nanoha mama’s job is to help those that in trouble, so inevitably this causes Vivio to be alone/lonely. But you’re real mama is somewhere out there, your real mama will definitely be able to be always with Vivio, whenever Vivio is lonely or crying…
Vivio: Vivio will not cry or be lonely.
Nanoha: Hmm really?
Vivio: Really…
Nanoha: Ah… Here, Vivio, the last sandwich, Ahhh…umm…
Vivio: Mmm… Thanks you for the meal.
Nanoha: Okay, now for the taste of the long awaited caramel milk.
Vivio: *joyful* Ahhh…

06 Saint Church
Shamal: Ah…. As expected, this garden sure makes people feel at peace.
Signum: Ah…
Schach: The Saint Church Headquarters here is a replica based on ancient (old) Belka. Perhaps the scenery here was similar to everyone’s homeland.
Vita: it could be, but it’s so long ago so we hardly have any memory of it.
Rein: We’re not too sure of the things in ancient Belka but…
Hayate: It does make people feel at peace, the air is good too.
Rein: Yup!
Schach: Yes, this is Schach.
Woman: Sister, preparations for their check-up (inspection) is complete.
Schach: Got it, thank you. Guardian knights, the preparations for the check-up (inspection) is complete.
Knights (Wolkenwritter): Got it/All right.
Rein: I am coming too.
Vita: It’s ok. (You don’t need to come too)
Rein: Huhu, having accurate knowledge of everyone’s health is the job/duty/responsibility of the Blessed Wind too.
Shamal: How dependable.
Signum: So be it, make sure to the job properly.
Hayate: Everyone, please co-operate/behave.
Knights: Ok.
Signum: We will be going then.
Schach: Knight Hayate, please proceed to the office.
Hayate: Yes (ok). My kid’s health inspections are always done with such care, for that I am very thankful.
Schach: Don’t mention it, the guardian knights are like a living memory of ancient Belka, they are very important.
Hayate: Yeah….
Schach: They also have helped in preserving the precious knowledge of ancient Belkan war chronicles (tactics/history) and magic too.
Hayate: *laughs*
Schach: Personally, both Carim and I have also grown fond of you and your guardian knights.
Hayate: Thank you. Sister is even willing to co-operate with Signum’s interest/hobby for sparring.
Schach: No… It’s not like that. Signum and I have been good friends ever since being introduced to each other so long ago.
Verossa: Hayate and the knights are close as always.
Carim: It is because their mistress/master is Hayate.
Verossa: However, at the same time, from the various investigations requested by Carim and Chrono, I have heard of a lot of criticism regarding Hayate in the Ground Forces.
Carim: Umm.
Verossa: In regards to the “Book of Darkness” Incident ten years ago and as the inheritor/successor of the Book of Darkness; as expected a lot of people are still suspicious of Hayate. Of course, not a lot of people know that Signum and the others are knights from the “Book of Darkness” but that’s because I think Hayate has kept the past of the Book of Darkness to herself. Or rather I conclude/deduced, Hayate has decided to do so.
Carim: Hayate has stubbornly proclaimed that even if such criticisms were deposed of (proven false), it would not be of any benefit/help to anyone, but still… it is still a bit much.
Verossa: Yeah.
Carim: Although it is rather strange of me to say this despite giving her such a difficult task, but I want them to live their lives happily.
Verossa: Finding happiness is not such an easy task, besides; seeking happiness is not the reason why Hayate chooses to fight.
Carim: I know that but….
Verossa: But, Hayate is a strong child, everything will be fine (things will work out).
Carim: Yeah.
Verossa: If Carim puts on such a worried face, you’re going to worry Hayate again.
Carim: Ah… Er, well let’s change the topic then.
Verossa: Sure.
Carim: Recently I have been hearing many things about you from theBureau.
Verossa: Me?
Carim: According to them, although your work performance is excellent, but your lack of a correct work attitude is also striking.
Verossa: Eh…About that….
Carim: Instances of being late for work or skipping work altogether, according to them seems to be on the rise recently.
Verossa: It is because…. Of the many situations encountered in the line of work…. Okay…?
Carim: If things go overboard… I’ll have no choice but to let Schach discipline you.
Verossa: Give me a break, anything but that. Schach can be seriously scary when she is angry.
Carim: So, you will treat work seriously then?
Verossa: I am treating my work seriously, well sometimes…
Carim: Oh, (you are always like this) Rossa.
Verossa: Yes (I will treat my work seriously).
Schach: Excuse us (we am coming in)
Hayate: Good afternoon
Carim: Welcome. Hayate.
Hayate: Eh Rossa, what happened? Being reprimanded again?
Schach: Ahh… Is it time for me to make my entrance?
Verossa: How rude. Hey Schach, please don’t roll up your sleeves.
Schach: Huh?
Verossa: Really, Schach is supposedly a Sister but is yet so prone/quick to violence.
Schach: Please refer to it as “tough love” I have been doing this since you were young to make sure you grew up to be a fine adult.
Hayate: To receive both Schach’s harsh teachings and Carim’s gentle guidance and yet still being able to retain one’s personality, I often think that Rossa is rather amazing.
Verossa: Thanks, then admire me.
Hayate: Huh…. Admirable, admirable. (I do, I do)
Verossa: That was rather unconvincing….
Carim and Schach: *laughs*
Carim: Well, after the guardian knights’ check-up (inspection) is completed, we will start the meeting regarding what to do from now on.
Verossa: Yes
Hayate: Got it.

07 - Lightning Tai
Lightning Squad
Bureau Personnel: Well then, Officer/Enforcer, we look forward to your assistance once more.
Fate: Yes, same to you, thanks for your help.
Erio and Caro: Excuse us.
Bureau Personnel: Take care.
Fate: Shari, how's your side?
Shari: Ah, it seems this is going to take more of my time, you go ahead.
Fate: Really?
Shari: Just so happens that it’s about time for Lightning Squad's two Fowards to go off-duty.
Erio: Sorry.
Caro: Thank you.
Fate: Ah, it's almost dusk; this took up a lot of time, didn't it.
Erio: Yes.
Caro: The sunset's really beautiful, isn't it?
Fate: I still have some time left before leaving for Ground Forces HQ, the two of you don't have any work left to do, do you?
Caro: Yeah.
Erio: We're fine.
Fate: In that case, why don’t we go and have dinner, right?
Caro and Erio: Ha~, yes
Fate: We'll go have your favourite egg dish. Alto recommended a good restaurant to me.
Fate: Work’s been pretty hard lately, are you two okay?
Erio: Yes, we're doing our best.
Caro: Everyone says that we work very well together with Subaru-san and Tea-san.
Fate: Though what I say may be a bit strange, but you Forwards are a very good group/team, regardless if it's just a combination of you two or all four of you together.
Erio: Recently, team battles practices with random combinations have also been increasing.
Caro: Like me with Subaru-san, or Erio-kun with Teana-san.
Fate: I see... You know, the truth is, the three of us doing things like this, eating and resting together, it might be nice if we could do more of it...
Erio: Ah, no, Subaru-san and Teana-san are also there, it won't be good if only we get special treatment and we don’t want it.
Fate: In the dormitories, Nahoha clearly has a single-person bedroom, but she managed to live together with me.
Erio: There must have been reasons for that.
Caro: Just because our guardian is a fellow co-worker, it’s not an excuse to treat us more leniently/gently.
Fate: Well...
Erio: According to Shari-san and Vice Captain Signum, once the Relic case and the cases afterwards are settled smoothly, and the operation period of Riot Force Six is over, we could have time for a long break.
Caro: So everyone should work hard to settle this incident, so we could have a nice break with no problems.
Fate: Un, once the case is settled, we will go on a very long vacation.
Erio: Once the Relic incident is over and Scaglietti's captured, right?
Fate: Un.
Caro: The criminal that Fate-san is always chasing. Once you arrest him safely, we may finally take a vacation without worries
Fate: Ah, un, definitely.
Erio: We need to do our best, right Caro?
Caro: Yes, Erio-kun!
Fate: Ah, well, but letting the two of you go all out at work before our vacation isn't good either.
Caro: Ehehe, that's true.
Fate: After we eat the tasty omelette and dessert, let's take it easy today, okay?
Caro and Erio: Yes!
Alto: This is Riot Force Six, Long Arch 01. We have an emergency!
Fate: This is Lightning. What's the situation?
Alto: Gadgets have been spotted over the coastline. 12 Type Is and 18 flying Type IIs. They're positioned at Coastal Area 7.
Caro: There are civilians living nearby there.
Alto: And there're no signals of a Relic...
Fate: Although it's pretty far, we're closer to it compared to Riot Force 6. We're dispatching!
Alto: Yes, please do.
Fate: Erio, Caro, I'm sorry, but work comes first.
Caro and Erio: Yes!
Caro: Alto-san, please issue an air/flight clearance. Since Fried is also here, it'll be faster if we fly.
Alto: Yes! Permitting Fate-san and Fried to fly over the city areas.
Fate： Bardiche
Erio： Strada
Caro： Kerykeion
All three： Set up!
Caro: Come forth, my dragon, Friedrich. Dragon Soul Summon!
Erio: The movement on enemy's side is strange. Nothing's moving over there.
Caro: The positions of the Type Is and Type IIs are strange too. You don’t think these are the typical/occasional stray Gadgets that show up, do you?
Fate: It would be great if that's the case. Don't lower your guard.
Caro and Erio: Yes
Fate: There they are.
Kerykeion: Safety confirmation
Caro: I've confirmed that it's safe to fire. Fried, Blast Ray!
Erio: Five have been shot down, the remaining are mine. Strada!
Strada: Explosion!
Caro: What I ask for is the protection of a fortress. Be the silver shield for this young lance knight.
Kerykeion: Boost up: Defense Gain.
Erio: Thanks, Caro. With this, I can now...
Strada: Stahlmesser!
Erio: Concentrate on attacking!
Fate: Ha~!
Bardiche: Harken Saber
Alto: 13 units shot down!
Fate: Un.
Caro: Fate-san
Fate: Caro, why is Erio not with you...
Caro: The 12 ground units are already destroyed. Erio-kun will come right away.
Erio: Altitude's 110. Can you fly that high, Strada?
Strada: Ja!
Erio: Towards Fried's position... Here we go!
Strada: Start!
Fate: Erio! He used Strada to fly this high...
Caro: Fried, we must catch Erio-kun perfectly!
Caro: Erio-kun, you all right?
Erio: Un, Caro!
Caro: Un! Perfect landing!
Erio: Yeah.
Strada: Danke, mein freund.
Fate: That... That was frightening/surprising. You were already able to do this kind of thing?
Caro: Yeah. He got it from Nanoha-san recently and he's allowed to practice it in battle.
Erio: Although it's not exactly like Subaru-san's Wing Road in terms of manoeuvrability, I can already roughly adjust its direction.
Fate: That's amazing.
Alto: The five remaining units are scattering to escape.
Erio: We'll going after them.
Caro: We'll pursue the two units on that side.
Fate: Un, please do so. Be careful!
Caro and Erio: Yes!
Subaru: Oh, Erio and Caro are really competent/great.
Teana: Yeah, their movements are better than they were during practice.
Nanoha: Un.
Alto: All units have been confirmed as shot down. No reinforcements. Stars squad, alert level C, please stay on temporary stand-by and await orders.

Lutecia: This is what you wanted show me Quattro?
Quattro: You’re half right and half wrong! What I wanted to show you wasn’t the Gadgets getting destroyed but that Summoner and young boy.
Lutecia: The Summoner…?
Quattro: No matter how hard it is, you do your best all by yourself while those two are always together as brother and sister. Even their mother joins them to help, what insensitive people!
Lutecia: Zest told me it’s pointless to envy the happiness of others.
Quattro: Tsk, tsk. That sounds reasonable but really it’s a lie. Out of all the frontline members of that Division/Unit, the only member who could possibly/best counter your most powerful/ultimate summon, Hakutenou is that summoner. It seems that she possesses another divine beast class (True Dragon-level) summon besides that white dragon there.
Lutecia: That girl…?
Quattro: That little wannabe lancer knight seems to more than a match for your Garyuu as well.
Lutecia: I won’t lose. Garyuu and Hakutenou are invincible.
Quattro: Well if that’s the case, then it’s okay. I know it’s none of my business but I only wanted to help Lady Lutecia by revealing those who would most likely interfere with her search for the Relics.
Lutecia: Thank you, Quattro. Well then, until we meet again.
Quattro: Until we meet again~! Preparation/Reinforcement okay, now that little girl will be easier to use.

Verossa: I heard all about it, Captain Takamachi became the guardian for… Vivio, was it? It’s about the search for her parents/caretakers.
Chrono: Yes, how did go?
Verossa: We couldn’t find anyone after all. We’ve passed around her picture, and checked a bunch of places out. We can’t find a trace of her caretakers/parents.
Chrono: Well, I guess it can’t be helped. It’s not easy to find someone, even if she’s a normal child.
Verossa: Abandoned/Orphaned children leave no tracks to follow.
Chrono: Especially/Not to mention, if she’s a child born different from others, it’s even easier for them to lose their home.
Verossa: Yeah…
Chrono: Oh man, sorry about that. That was thoughtless of me.
Verossa: What? You talking about me? It’s true I was orphaned/abandoned at birth (I was born into a hard life), but right now I’m having the time of my life (alt trans: but right now, I have a wonderful/complete/fulfilling life.). If anyone were to give me special treatment, I wouldn’t know how to deal with it.
Chrono: I see…
Verossa: Being adopted and raised by the Gracia family and allowed the chance to work without throwing away my identity/name and abilities. I now even have forgiving/close friends and a cute little sister. Although I must say, my cute little sister is way too cheeky/insolent/conceited and way too eager to wield violence against me for the sake of her totally scary education.

Erio: Ahh, the wind feels good.
Caro: The weather is good too, and the stars are also beautiful.
Erio: Caro's homeland was a place with beautiful stars, right?
Caro: Yes, you can see many beautiful stars in Alzus's night sky.
Erio: I only started to look at stars after Fate-san rescued me. You couldn't see the stars in the research center.
Caro: It’s so mysterious/strange, the worlds we were born in and our experiences/lives are completely different, and we’ve had so many tragic things happen, and now we’re looking at Mid's night sky together.
Erio: It's because we were rescued by Fate-san.
Caro: That's true.
Caro: Say, Fate-san today...
Erio: Yeah, she looked rather discouraged today.
Caro: Even when we're trying our best not to worry her...
Erio: Yeah, because she's so kind. If we act like children, it’ll trouble her.
Caro: I thought if we work hard it would help, but maybe what we're doing isn’t so helpful.
Erio: Fate-san's work has been getting harder recently, because we don't want to burden her, we decided to work together/do our best together.
Caro: Yeah, we only wish to have Fate-san smile/laugh, so why… why isn’t it working/going well?
Erio: Why is it like this?
Caro: Yeah, why is it like this?

Caro: It's strange isn't it...
Subaru: Today's dinner was good too wasn't it?
Teana: Uh, there wasn’t any training today. I think I ate too much.
Subaru: Eh? Hm? Erio, Caro, what are you doing... here?
Caro: Subaru-san?
Subaru: What is it? Even Erio...
Caro: Ah, no, that's…
Erio: It's... It's nothing
Subaru: Just look at your faces, how could you say that it's nothing?
Teana: Something troubling you? Is it something we can help you with?...
Erio: That's um...
Caro: It's something about... Fate-san.
Subaru: Ah, between mother and child, huh?
Teana: Ah, our advice wouldn’t be suitable for these kinds of things, would it? (Ah, our advice is a little weak on that front, isn’t it?)
Erio: S... sorry.
Teana: Don't apologize. Come on, you better wipe your tears.
Caro: Oh, sorr-... thanks.
Subaru: Um, now what? If you could find somebody who you could talk about Fate-san...
Teana: Shari-san's outside, Nanoha-san and Vivio are together.
Subaru: Ah, that's right; don’t we already know the best person to discuss about Fate-san?
Teana: Ah, I get it, you mean her, right?
Subaru: Yup, she really knows Fate-san, and she really knows about the two of you too.
Arf: Ah, Erio, Caro, YO!
Erio: Un…
Caro: Sorry, Arf.
Arf: Don't worry about it; I’ve just put the kids to bed. So, what is it?
Erio: Actually... it's about Fate-san...
Shari: Haa, Fate-san, thanks for your hard/tiring work with the meeting. Ah, your car's already parked in the underground parking lot.
Fate: Oh, thank you Shari.
Shari: So, what happened to you?
Fate: Ah, that, all sorts of things...
Shari: Fate-san, I've said this before, the relationship between officers and assistants (enforcer and Adjutant) are like sisters. If you have problems, please talk about it with me.
Fate: Um, I'm happy you said that.
Shari: Really?
Fate: Even if it's a small thing for me, this is a very important/big thing for the two of them.
Shari: Ahh, this is about Erio and Caro.
Fate: Yeah.
Shari: Well, if it's a problem that needs specialist knowledge, the best way is to find a specialist to solve it.
Fate: A specialist?
Shari: Right, a specialist on mother-child relationships... Isn't there one real close to Fate-san?
Lindy: Oh, Fate, it's been a while.
Fate: Yes, sorry about calling you so suddenly, mom...
Lindy: There’s no need for timing for a daughter to call her mother. What happened?
Fate: The truth is I want to talk about Erio and Caro...

Vivio: Un.
Nanoha: Well, me too…
Vivio: Ah, Mama...
Nanoha: What is it?
Vivio: The thing is... I still don't want to sleep (I’m still not sleepy).
Nanoha: Geez, why did you say that after we changed your clothes? If you said that before we changed your clothes, we could have gone out for a stroll. You shouldn't do that, Vivio.
Vivio: Shouldn't do that.
Nanoha: Oh well, if you go to bed, maybe you'll get sleepy?
Vivio: Will I?
Nanoha: Fate-mama is not home yet; we can keep the lights on and talk about things.
Vivio: Un.
Nanoha: But if you sleep in late, and wake up, Vivio will be alone.
Vivio: Oh~
Nanoha: If it's Nanoha-mama's usual job, I won't go far away. I'll just be at the usual place.
Vivio: Un.
Nanoha: Well then, what should Nanoha and Vivio talk about?
Vivio: Umm, let's talk about Nanoha-mama and Fate-mama.
Nanoha: About us... hmm, okay... Originally, we began as enemies. (Originally, we started out fighting each other)
Vivio: You fought?
Nanoha: Yup really electrifying ones…
Vivio: Oh...
Nanoha: After that, we became very close, Fate-mama and I had so many experiences, then we went to work under the Administration Bureau.
Vivio: Oh...
Nanoha: Fate-mama works in...

Lindy: Listening to everything you said, in simple terms, it's because Erio and Caro are too obedient and hard-working, that's why you feel troubled?
Fate: Un, even before, Erio and Caro had that kind of direction, but after joining Riot Force Six, their complaints/unhappiness and selfishness completely disappeared. Recently, they don't even show their expressions of hardship and tiredness. No matter how many times you ask, they just say "There's no problem". (Everything is fine)
Lindy: Un.
Fate: I imitated mother's actions, and I learned a lot from Momoko-san and Admiral Leti, I also read a lot of books on how to take care of children, but...
Lindy: Mm, you really read a lot, didn't you.
Fate: According to the books, if children are very obedient, that means that they feel lonely, because they're afraid that their parents will hate them, they wish their parents to take care of them...
Lindy: Ah…
Fate: They give the appearance of "good children" but it's the opposite, in reality, the children are forcing themselves, they're bottling up their feelings in...
Lindy: Maybe you're thinking of your childhood days, when you were with your mother Precia, when you were like that too?
Fate: That is...
Lindy: If that's not it, maybe you actually feel that Erio and Caro don’t treat you as their own guardian?
Fate: Ah, that...
Lindy: Well Fate, Erio and Caro are already ten, but they’re still only ten. They’re at the right age when they start finding things they want to strive hard for and if they really can't continue, that's the time they will depend on their parents and the adults around them, right?
Fate: Un.
Lindy: I also receive mails from the both of them, but they always talk about the people in Riot Force Six. For example, how they received help from someone, or how Nanoha's teaching is so great, or how they are persevering/how hard they’re trying.
Fate: Is that so…
Lindy: Their life now must be very fruitful.
Fate: Un.
Lindy: Ten years old is just the right age for them to be more interested in their friends and other people, rather than their mother and family.
Fate: Ah.
Lindy: Therefore you shouldn't worry; you should protect them even now as their mother/guardian.
Fate: Un.
Lindy: The remaining things are your own problem. Now about those...

Arf: Mm... I still don't understand why the both of you are worried; for example you think that Fate hates the two of you?
Caro: No... We don't think that.
Erio: Un…
Arf: Naturally, that's impossible. But because you don't like to make Fate worried, or you don't like to express your frustrations, if you over force yourselves like that, Fate will surely get worried/sad.
Caro: Ah…
Erio: But we're not really... forcing ourselves.
Arf: Mm~ I understand that too. But Fate is a big worrywart, and she also has a very strong sense of responsibility too.
Erio: Un…
Arf: If you're in a hurry to do everything, you'll distance yourself from the other person or she’ll start feeling you don’t need her. There are lots of difficult stuff that comes with being a mother.
Caro: Un.
Erio: But we're both fellow Bureau members.
Caro: And we're also officers and subordinates (teammates) of the same branch/unit.
Arf: Ahh, so what? Fate was very uncomfortable with the two of you entering the Administration Bureau and joining Riot Force 6 before, I think it's because she already knew that it will increase the distance between you.
Erio and Caro: Oh.
Arf: But this was the decision the both of you took, and this path of yours was accepted by Fate. However, no matter what happens to the relationship, you should find the best way to solve it.
Erio: Un…
Caro: That's right.
Arf: Though I said that, hm, yeah, let's talk about solving this problem in detail...

Arf: Okay, if there's anything else, just call me again. Well, goodbye.
Lindy: Ara, Arf, you must have been talking with Erio's side earlier?
Arf: Saying that, mother, you must have been talking with Fate?
Lindy: Un, that's right. How worrisome, right?
Arf: Those worrywarts became too careful around each other.
Lindy: It just means that they’ve become a good family (good mother and children). I wonder if they don't realize it themselves.
Arf: But mother, you think it's very amusing don't you? (You’re very glad/happy aren’t you?)
Lindy: So do you Arf, your tail won't stop wagging.
Arf: Er, I was careless

Erio: Sorry for the late intrusion.
Caro: I hope you don’t mind.
Fate: Um, there's something I need to discuss with Erio and Caro. Can Nanoha and Vivio go to sleep first?
Nanoha: Un, I understand.
Vivio: Un.
Nanoha: The three of you can talk in this room; Vivio doesn't want to go to sleep yet. (Vivio says she’s not sleepy yet)
Vivio: I’m not sleepy at all!
Fate: Uh, but...
Nanoha: Seems this talk you’re having is very important/serious. There was some tension during alert, but it just so happens that we’re off duty now, so take your time talking.
Fate: Ah, yeah.
Nanoha: So Vivio and I will sleep in the empty room over there tonight.
Vivio: We're off.
Fate: Sorry about this, thank you, Nanoha, Vivio.
Erio and Caro: Thank you very much.
Subaru: Ah, did it end well? Or are they just starting now?
Teana: Mn, it makes me worry for them.
Alto: Ah, what are you guys doing there?

Subaru: Ah, Alto, Lucino-san...
Teana: Ah, well, the thing is…
Vita: Ora, I told you not to be so noisy in the corridor, if you want to talk, go to the lounge or to your room.
Lucino: Ah, sorry.
Alto: We were just passing by…
Lucino: Ah, yeah…
Vita: Hm? Lightning Squad and Nanoha is also here, what's everyone doing?
Erio and Caro: We're sorry.
Nanoha: Sorry, sorry.
Fate: It's a personal thing, so I'll return to my room
Erio and Caro: Excuse us!
Vita: Ah? What’s happening?
Subaru: It's nothing, Vice-Captain.
Teana: Anyway, everyone’s off duty, it's just a small matter.
Fate: Well then, Erio, Caro.
Erio and Caro: Yes…
Fate: Having the two of you taking care of yourselves and striving to do your jobs well for my sake, makes me very happy but…
Erio: Um, us, because of us you get worried...
Caro: And we also made Fate-san's life hard, and made her lonely...
Fate: Eh? No! It's because you didn't let me worry about you, and didn't bother me, that I felt conflicted. Because I couldn't do well, so the two of you are forcing yourselves...
Caro: We're not forcing ourselves...
Erio: Even though we're very hardworking, we're not forcing ourselves.
Fate: Am I suitable to be your guardian? Did I treat you well? Is there any part where you're not satisfied?
Erio: Ah, something we're unsatisfied with...
Erio and Caro: That's impossible.
Erio: Fate-san, you worry too much.
Caro: We're not little children like Vivio anymore.
Erio: We want to change from being people that act like children during hard situations...
Caro: Even just a little bit, we want to change ourselves. This is what the two of us had decided on after many discussions.
Erio: But… we got scolded by Arf…
Caro: ‘Did the two of you mention what you decided on after so many discussions to Fate-san?’...
Fate: Ah…
Erio and Caro: Mm?
Fate: I also asked for advice from mother. I want for us to be together, and want you to rely on me… My wishes, was I able to communicate this to you clearly...
Erio: Ah, um, so that's how it was...
Caro: You asked Lindy-san how to solve this problem?
Fate: Ah, you were also following the suggestion of Arf?
Erio and Caro: Yes…
F+E+C: "The three of you better clearly talk with each other"…
Caro: You should have solved this problem (did that) in the beginning...
Fate: The three of us were so worried and too careful...
Erio: Stubbornness, wilfulness (selfishness), it’s easy to misunderstand other's people's compliments...
Fate: What the heck, we were all just the same.
Caro: Yes…
Erio: We really were, weren't we.
Fate: Well, why won't we talk about it properly? So we can avoid any more misunderstandings.
Erio and Caro: Yes
Fate: Would you want to drink tea or something else?
Caro: Oh, I'll do it...
Erio: Me too...
Fate: Nope, the two of you better wait. I learned how to make delicious Caramel Milk from Nanoha; I'll make some for you to drink.
Erio and Caro: Yes
Fate: The intricate relationship between mother and child, even if you can manage it smoothly is still unclear. Mother said, if you adopt/raise children as their guardian, at the same time, you should let the children raise you. I think that Alicia and I, when we were together with mother Precia, and when I was growing up with Lindy, were sharing the same feelings.
Fate: Caro's should be more sweet, Erio's needs more milk. There, it's done.

Vita: Ya know, it didn’t seem like she was planning to unison with the summoner.
Rein: That’s true, even when she was in danger/having difficulties, not even an indication/hint of it.
Hayate: It could be that somebody else is that Unison Device's master/lord--the one she unisons with. We’ll need to carefully think of emergency counter-measures.
