Hello I fell for Epel and can’t get up so I decided to do a translation of his R-card’s personal story, “What shape do you thinks this is?”
Location: Cafeteria
Epel: Fuuh, I’m done
Apple cut craft… This much should be good enough to earn Vil-san’s approval
I was troubled when he suddenly said he wanted to see it but I think this apple bird is done well
SFX: Footsteps
Sebek: You, the Pomefiore student.
Is the seat next to you open?
Epel: If I’m not wrong you’re from Class D… Sebek-kun… Was it?
It’s open.
Sebek: Please excuse me taking up this seat then. It’s so crowded during lunch, that it was difficult to find an open seat
…Hmm?
What, what’s with that apple!!!!!!????
Epel: I-if you suddenly shout like that you’re going to give me a shock…
Sebek: What a beautiful apple bird…
It looks like it could spread its wings and fly off the plate at any moment!
Epel: Yeah. It’s apple cut craft.
Sebek: Oh, how wonderful.
I would love to present it to the young master
Epel: Young master?
Sebek: The most esteemed dorm leader of our dorm, Diasomnia, Malleus Draconia-sama!
Epel: Huh, what an archaic way to call someone
Sebek: Is this apple your dessert?
Epel: No, this isn’t for me to eat
It’s an apple cut craft for Vil-san
Sebek: I see, so it’s for the Pomefiore leader. It’s too bad, but I understand that’s how it is…
Well then, let’s find the chef and have them make another one!
Epel: Chef? For this cut craft?
Sebek: Yes, can you please tell me who made it?
Epel: Well, it’s me but…
Sebek: What!? You made this…?
Epel: Vil-san asked me to make it.
When I told him my family back home sent me some fruits, he told me he wanted to eat it in the most beautiful state
Sebek: For your family to send you such lustrous fruit, you must come from a prestigious lineage
Epel: Em, I wouldn’t exactly say that…
Sebek: Pomefiore’s… um…
Epel: Epel. Epel Felmier.
Sebek: I see, so Epel Felmier.
What else can you make beside a bird?
Epel: Let’s see. I can make a few things.
Sebek: Hm. If it’s alright with you, could you please show me some other apple cut crafts?
Epel: Because you want to give it to your young master?
Sebek: Of course, that is my primary reason.
However, I too, sincerely would like to see it.
What wonderful craft! Truly fascinating!
Epel: …Is that so?
So, how about this then?
SFX: Cutting noises
Sebek: Ooh. A rose! How delicate!
The multiple fine layers of this apple makes it look truly like petals!
Epel: Other than that, something like this…
SFX: Cutting noises
Sebek: I can’t believe it… Is that a castle? How sublime!
You even created the towers and windows!
Epel: Let’s set this one aside
SFX: Cutting noises
Epel: What shape do you think this is?
Sebek: T, this is… An apple?
Epel: Hehe, you got it wrong
It’s not just an apple. It’s a poisoned apple.
Sebek: Oh wow!
To express the shape of an apple on an apple, how original!
If it’s alright with you…
May I have this poison apple?
Epel: It’s yours
Sebek: Thank you
In any case, having this kind of beautiful skills…
Epel: It’s hard to sell an apple that’s damaged or broken by tools, even if that apple is still edible.
Trying out all sort of ways so that apple would look beautiful enough to eat, then finally arriving at this… Apple cut craft.
I cut my fingers many times… before I got good at it.
My family said it’s fine if I can’t do it and laughed, but I didn’t want to give up
That’s why when I could do it well the first time I showed it to everyone around me
Ah… Perhaps… I ended up going off on my own…
Sebek: No, you did not. For you to not just have the skill, but that spirit as well.
Truly commendable
Epel: …Thanks
Epel: Perhaps… next time I get apples from my family, I’ll also make some for you
