Q&A to the Twelve Holy Knights

Epilogue


Q&A below!

Yu Wo's already posted most of these online, but some of these she hasn't shared online. I've translated the rest and also copied the previous ones and pasted them here as well to have everything in one place~


Q1: Ceo Storm, why did you already choose Shuis when he was still a baby?
Ceo: If you'd seen Shuis when he was younger, you would have chosen him too. He was really too cute!

So the reason you chose him is because you couldn't resist his cuteness?
Ceo: Actually, it's because Sun said that he resembles Awaitsun a lot, that he would definitely became a super handsome guy in the future. I looked at Awaitsun and felt that if I didn't claim his son in advance, I would really lose out, so I claimed him.


Q2: Georgo Earth, will you die from exhaustion in the end?
Georgo: I-I'd like to die like that! I-If only... Can I stop stuttering?

Feel free.
Georgo: If only that bastard Sun stopped hindering me, I would be able to die from exhaustion really soon, and gloriously meet the God of Light!

So have you ever successfully (beeeep) without Grisia's disturbance?
Georgo: Of course!

What age were you when you succeeded for the first time?
Georgo: ...next question!

(Lucathia: Oh the irony... considering who ended up with a "wife" and daughter first...)


Q3: May I ask each Judgment Knight, don't you feel warm wearing all that black?
Chasel Judgment: Very warm. If it's not a public occasion, I normally take off my outer robe.
Lesus Judgment: Warm, but I can withstand it.
Hungri Judgment: I'm only the Judgment Knight-in-training, so I haven't worn the robe yet, but it looks very warm.

Regarding your own student or teacher, what are your general impressions?
Chasel: No need to worry about him.
Lesus: I respect him. He distresses me.
Chasel: I believe that I probably am not the one you feel distressed about?
Hungri: ...

Hungri, your answer is?
Hungri: I respect him.

An additional question. What about the Sun Knights on the opposite end?
Neo: No need to worry about him.
Grisia: He distresses me. No need to worry about him.
Neo: ...
Elaro: He...He... Can I not answer this?
Neo: Answer it!
Elaro: ...he distresses me.
Grisia: ...
Neo: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!


Q4: May I ask Chasel Judgment, on average, how often do you feel like slaughtering Neo once and for all?
Chasel: I never think about things that are impossible to achieve. No one is capable of killing Neo.

Do you think you want to kill him more than Lesus Judgment wants to kill Grisia Sun once and for all?
Chasel: My student's patience is even better than his skill with a sword. He would never want to kill the Sun Knight.

What is your assessment of Lesus's student?
Chasel: I don't know him too well, having only seen him a few times. Just based off of his appearance, I'm a little suspicious about whether or not he is a crossdressing girl.


Q5: May I ask the 37th, 38th, and 39th generation Sun Knights and Judgment Knights about their opinions regarding each other?
Chasel: Swordsmanship is strong. Not so strong with everything else.
Neo: Hey!

What about you, Neo?
Neo: Swordsmanship is weak. Strong with everything else.
Chasel: Thanks for the compliment.
Neo: ...

What about the 38th generation?
Lesus: Swordsmanship is...
Grisia: Shut up!

What about the 39th generation?
Elaro: Uh...
Hungri: Hmph!


Q6: As the spokespersons of the God of Light, do you think the God of Light is male or female?
Neo: Better be female.
Grisia: Hopefully female.
Elaro: I think male, since the spokespersons of the God of Light, the Sun Knights, are all male. A female probably wouldn't look for guys to be the spokesperson.
Neo: Makes sense, damn!
Grisia: As my student, why can't you let your teacher fantasize more before meeting the God of Light?


Q7: Neo Sun, compared with your previous lifestyle back at the Holy Temple, what part of your lifestyle as an adventurer gives you the most trouble?
Neo: The part that gives me the most trouble is "where is this."

Aldrizzt, has anything changed regarding what troubles you the most in your lifestyle as an adventurer, before and after meeting Neo? Can you give us specifics?
Aldrizzt: Yes, there was a change. Before meeting Neo, what troubled me the most was getting chased [and killed] by my clan. After meeting Neo, things that trouble me are actually quite numerous, but the matter that troubles me the most is probably frequently having to prevent Neo from killing other people.


Q8: May I ask Grisia Sun why you didn't quickly close the door that time you came across Neo in the toilet? Why did you stay until he gracefully finished his business?
Grisia: That's because at that time, my life suddenly flashed before my eyes. Once I regained my senses, Teacher had already gracefully finished his business and was carrying the Divine Sun Sword as he walked over.

And then?
Grisia: And then... I almost didn't have an and then.


Q9: Neo Sun, who do you love the most?
Neo: Hm, are you asking me which woman I love the most? Too many, I don't remember. Each one is a good woman.

What if we're not talking about romantic love?
Neo: ...I don't want to answer.

No, you have to answer!
Neo: So what if I don't answer. What can you do, HUH?

...Please answer! This is a question that has to be answered. If you don't answer, I can't face the readers, ahhhhh-- Believe me when I say that I'll write about Aldrizzt getting fed up with you, so he ends up leaving, meaning you would have to wash your own clothes, cook your own food, and find your own way around--
Neo: ...that annoying student of mine who always makes me worry day and night.

(Lucathia: akdjfla;da Neo! ♥ Oh, and this question, I think, was the result of one of Yu Wo's facebook and plurk entries that said whatever the first question raised to each would get answered for sure in the Q&A. This was one of the questions. Q10 is the other one.)


Q10: What is Sun's secret habit when he's serious?
Grisia: I want to know too.

No one's asking you. Lesus Judgment, what's Sun's secret habit when he's serious?
Lesus: It's a secret.
Grisia: Hahaha, even I can't make him answer. How would you be able to get the answer out of him?

Elmairy Leaf, what's Sun's secret habit when he's serious?
Grisia: You went and chose Leaf! Good choice. He's a good guy who can't refuse anyone.
Elmairy: Ahh, why are you dooming me...
Georgo: Elmairy, I tossed your seasonings into the moat. If you don't hurry and save it, it might drift all the way to the Kingdom of Moon Orchid.
Elmairy: Ah, seasonings, wait for me!

...Elaro, what is your teacher's secret habit when he's serious?
Elaro: I'm not too sure, but I think it's gathering--ah!
Lesus: He fainted and can't answer you anymore.

...Roland Hell, what is Grisia's habit?
Grisia: Has anyone told you you're stubborner than Stone?
Roland: I'm not...wholly...allowed to tell you anything more.
Lesus: We've shed enough light on this! Or do you want a taste of the Twelve Holy Knight's wrath?
Georgo: If you ask anymore, someone's really gonna die!

(Lucathia: The original text drops quite a lot of hints! I tried to translate this so that the hints are kept, as well as the general meaning of what each person says. The answer is: gathering holy light. Elaro, Roland, and Lesus all drop parts of the clue.)

New question!

Q11: May I ask the 37th, 38th, and 39th generation Sun Knights, what kind of existence is your vice-captain to you?
Neo: He's a bastard who specializes in tattletaling to Chasel!

Then why did you pick him in the first place?
Neo: ...Back then, Chasel asked me 'How's this person?' and I replied 'Whatever.'

What about the 38th generation?
Grisia: He doesn't lose out in style when I bring him to the palace. Once he walks into the kitchen, he can produce entire banquets. On the battlefield, he can brandish his sword and slay the enemy. In the office, he can approve and correct documents...

Are you done talking yet?
Grisia: There's too much to talk about.

What about the 39th generation?
Elaro: They're my left and right hands. Ronalyn is my right. Dili is my left.

Why have you specified them as your right and left hands?
Elaro: Because Ronalyn is right-handed. Dili is left-handed.

Has anyone told you that you focus too much on miniscule things?
Elaro: ...often.


Q12: Elaro, have you ever regretted becoming the Sun Knight?
Elaro: Actually, I'm still just the Sun Knight-in-training. I haven't become the official Sun Knight yet.

Then have you regretted going to the Sun Knight selection?
Elaro: Actually, I didn't attend the selection. I didn't even fill out the registration form. On the day of the selection, my teacher ordered me to go to the training grounds to take care of the kids. Later, he announced that I had been chosen.

Then I guess I have to change my question. Have you regretted meeting Grisia?
Elaro: Never. I never have.

Yeah haha, I couldn't wait to get hold of the book so I thought I might receive it earlier if I order online :P 3 days for international shipping, am I right?

Now I reckon I will have to pass the extra copy to my friend ^_^ Wow that's good to hear! The poster looks really lovely!

I think the website stated they are out of poster under the t&c too. I must make sure I order earlier next time :D

'sometimes hides in his blankets to cry'
that's so cute, and sad, he truly is a child...
------

Q1
makes sense....
he says he 'claimed him' god... that sounds wrong....
---

Q2
no matter how many times I read it, Georgo sound so perv here...
what? he's got a wife? waaaaait why the " 's around wife?... was it a 'take responsibility for your actions' arrangement?
---

Elaro's answer here makes sense... though... the God of Light could be... fond of eye-candy?
---
Q9
god.... Neo is such a womanizer
and Neo is so cute in the second answer
---
Q10
oh good, I wanted this answer all along (probably everyone did)
'No one's asking you.'
oh, Grisia got shut down
lol, Judge won't answer...
and of course she turns to Leaf
...... they really don't want to teeeeeelll. Georgo, that was meen, and Leaf completely forgets everything other than his seasonings

... how are his seasonings going to drift all the way to Moon Orchid?... subterranean waterways?

Judge seems to like knocking people out, poor Elaro

Roland is really bad at keeping secrets...

oh, makes sense.... considering he is more a mage than a knight, it must be equivalent to standing at the ready to attack for a warrior... kinda 'do as i say or I'll blast you
---

Q12
oh... lol, Ecilan's story repeated (somewhat)
though its cute to see that he doesn't regret it

I'd forgotten that.... with the pics J.U. had been posting.... well.... it still is a very childish act.
---
haha, Leaf is really cute, and a good guy, he'd have answered, and not because he 'has to'.
hm, probably gathered dark magic...
it must be like squaring oneself, pretty much an instinct
and for Grisia it probably is the element that first rushes in... i guess
---
wonder if Elaro really didn't see that comming... lol
if he didn't, then he must have been about as surprised as Ecilan was.... lol

Hi Lucathia,

Thanks for summarizing this. you are doing a great job for us fan. I really love reading ur comments. Did you find time to summarize the 4th part? I will be eagerly waiting..
Just few questions if you know anything about them:
what is charlotte and charsia doing and how is their relationship with elaro...
what does other 11 knights feel about sun knight...
I am very sad that Grisia is still suffering as I love him alot...

From: (Anonymous)
Thanks again for your response...
I am talking about the 11 new generation knights. How they feel about 38th generation of sunknight..For some reason I cant just get enough of Grisia....LOVE HIS CHARACTER a lot even though he is despicable sometimes for the sake of his duties and loved ones...
Any clue about father-daughter relationship (Grisia-Charsia).
Eventhough the 39th generation is cute but no one is like Grisia in them :(

I swear to the God of Light...and to the Muse of All Stories, if and When LSK (38/39, heck even 37!!!) and FW comes on sale in my country whether in manga or novel (I'd buy both!!!!!) in ENGLISH, I'LL BUY THEM ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!

I think I'm falling for Elaro. Or is it Shuis? Oh! I just love handsome men...I just wonder...does Grisia get his sight back? Otherwise, why would CEO be so convinced when he says that baby Shuis looks like Awaitsun?

And..Hungri is definitely male. And, also, definitely like Carol! Except he's male and mistaken for a female...

If and when PrinceRevolution starts recruiting for English proofreaders again, I'll definitely, definitely apply!
