FAQ 7 : Elina
Question:
Question for Elina. It's mentioned that Elina's favorite thing is Leina, but what about Miss Claudette? Doesn't she like her too? Please let me know.
Elina's answer:
Who do you think you are to
ask such prying questions?
Well, fine, I suppose I can
answer since I'm in a good mood today (I found out about my big sis Leina's
whereabouts earlier, yes I did~ *giggle*)
About Sister Claudette, she's
a sister I respect, a soldier.
However, Father has always
treated Sister Claudette differently than Big Sis Leina and I. Even as
children, we rarely ate or played together.
Even now, while I sometimes
participate in balls, Sister simply stands by Father in military uniform.
Since she's a taciturn person,
I honestly have no idea what she's thinking... but, sometimes I've felt a very
soft look from her in my direction. I'm not sure what to think of that, so I
don't know how I should approach her.
With any noble or soldier, I'm
confident in how I can deal with them, it's just with that one person I'm no
good. To tell the truth, I'm kind of weak with...
Ah, well, that should be good
enough. Excuse me, but I have a job to do.
(Runs away in an over the top
dash). "Big Sis Leina, just you wait~ Elina's coming~! Ehehehehe."
Hans' answer :
The three Vance sisters are in
a delicate love triangle.
Elina's feelings for Claudette
are more like: "Though I recognize your abilities and I don't dislike you,
I'm basically uninterested in you."
As for Leina, it's
straightforward because she clearly respects Claudette, but for Elina, she just
doesn't care much about her, to be blunt.
Claudette being a rather
pitiable person in some ways, please give her some of your support.
The relationship between the 3
sisters has been put to illustration skillfully by Nanzaki Iku-sensei in the
monthly Comp Ace "Hide & Seek" manga series, please check it out.
FAQ 8: Irma
Question:
Question for Miss Irma.
Apparently you've been eating and sleeping together with Echidna, who was your
mentor, since you were little... so please, by all means, tell us some more
episodes from back then!
Irma's answer:
Like I'd be required to answer
such a thing, you bastard...
What? You have an interview
permit issued by Her Majesty The Queen?
(...No choice then. But if you
inconvenience me, I might just make you disappear in a back alley.)
It's true, I was most
certainly picked by Echidna as a child, and raised by her.
Echidna was the leader of a
certain organization at the time. Well, being that kind of woman really, it was
more of a half-assed order she led between work as a mercenary.
Meanwhile, I was taught
martial arts in such a way that I could use them to live independently.
Why would such an
irresponsible and cruel woman feel inclined to do me such a favor?
It was all just on a whim. For
a person who has lived for hundreds of years, taking care of a human like me
for a while was probably like keeping a pet mouse to her.
Her martial arts training was
severe, and there was a lot of its content that could be considered near
impossible.
More specifically...? Well for
example, the training of going and picking up an object placed at the central
plaza crowded with people while stark naked was tough. Even if I somehow
managed to master the training and do it without anyone noticing me, I sure
doubted if that woman had the ability to pull it off too!
Still, out of the training
schedule, when she told me stories about her travels, when she bought me rare
pastries...I suppose, sometimes she showed some signs of kindness. In any case,
that was probably just more whims from that person too...
Anyways, training continued
for many years and then, one day, I was abandoned.
After that, I ended up joining
the organization that person resigned from. I had no idea that was the one she
had belonged to before. Some coincidence, guess it must have been fate.
You want to know the
organization's name? ... It's "Gainos Cleaning Guild."
Don't look at me like that,
I'm telling the truth!
Let me give you some advice,
it wouldn't be wise of you to pry into it any further.
Hans' Answer:
Echidna is decidedly not a
"good person" that much is obvious, it probably was nothing but a
whim that she thought of raising Irma.
But somehow, Echidna did raise
Irma with love.
Also, Irma respects Echidna
both as a mentor and as a parent. However, due to being subjected to Echidna's
terrible bullying and then suddenly being abandoned one day, she won't show her
feelings of deep affection any time now.
The tale of Irma and Echidna
is told in the novel version, "Fierce Battle: Queen's Blade." Since
the novel version is in one of QB's "Other Worlds," it's got a
different setup than the gamebooks (for example, Irma is not a mere cleaning
lady, but a maid at the Vance house!), but as Eiji Okita-Sensei has written
Irma in a really appealing light, please read it!
Question:
Nyx's hobby is cooking, so
what's her favorite dish to cook? Please tell me.
Nyx's answer:
Ahn? You're asking Lady Master
of Flame Nyx her favorite dish to cook?
Just you wait.
(Lightly taps her own staff in
fear).
Phew, thank goodness.
As it seems Lord Funikura is
sleeping right now, is it alright if I talk plainly?
Ah, excuse me. It's easier
this way.
My favorite dish is mushroom
soup.
Though the staple menu for
people like us was a pauper meal of soup and bread without ingredients, I came
up with a few things to get Mother as much nourishment as possible.
After sampling the mushrooms
that grew in my room, I started using them often because they were unexpectedly
good.
Every once in awhile, I'd
catch a frog and that would make it even more of a treat.
With the wild grass that grew
at the hill behind my home, adding a few fragrant ones, you'd be surprised how
good it tastes.
Now I have no shortage of what
to eat, but I keep cooking.
Cooking with herbs from the
hills and fields is still the best.
Aren't I really glad I became
the Master of the Flame and can freely control "high flame" cooking?
Well it is a great power,
though I'm not really allowed to say something like "I'm really glad"
to Lord Funikura. Fufufu... hn?
(Lord Funikura suddenly, violently
coils around her head)
Hiih, Lord Funikura! Y, you
woke up...!
A, ahn. Please stop!
Yes, I was too cocky!
Yes, I'm sorry I was born!
Aaaaaaah...!!
Hans' answer:
Before Nyx obtained the
immense power of Lord Funikura, she was a girl taught through experience from
the world of crippling poverty and she grew wiser from it. For her mother's
sake, who had worked hard to support her, Nyx became good at cooking.
Not picky about her food like
Leina or Menace, her cooking skill would astonish even someone like Cattleya,
but unfortunately, she has no one to share it with.
Please let someone become
Nyx's friend.
Though she has a bit of a
mental instability, I think she's a good girl...
I wanna become Nyx's friend, Funikura doesn't want :/
