Eri bond story episode 1

Momotalk

E: Nyufufufu
E: Greetings to you, Master
E: The world's sparkling with mana today!
E: How about you?
S: I don't know anything about mana, but I'm feeling great, thank you very much!
E: You can't hide anything from me y'know?
E: I can discern anything with my fortune telling
E: You worked overtime last night too, didn't you?
S: Guh...!
E: How about you forget about work today
E: And come spend some time with me?
E: Isn't rest as important as work?
S: I guess so/How about we go buy some sweets then?
E: Nyufufu, it seems we've had a sufficient heart-to-heart.
E: I'll be looking forward to meeting you!

You meet Eri

E: Welcome, Master!
S: Yo, Eri!
E: I was thinking about what to do today...
E: And I consulted my magic book
E: It has spoken- make a painting in the atelier!
S: Making a painting? Sounds fun./I'm sure you'll be able to make something great
E: Yep! Together, I think a masterpiece shouldn't be too hard!
E: Now then, off to the atelier!

In the atelier

E: I wanna try making something without a particular theming in mind.
E: In order words, I want to magically unleash the impulse of an artist!
E: On days where mana is abound like today... it's better to focus on your own senses
E: Now then, here we go! Hmph!
S: ...Tarot cards? Weren't you going to draw something?
E: Yep! This is the first step in making a magical painting.
E: Nyufufu... which card will spell my destiny?
E: Hmm... it's the Tower in an upright position.
E: So "destruction" or "collapse" will await me.
E: In other words, break through the canvas with bold strokes... that is my destiny!
E: Okay... here we go!
S: Woah... she's on a roll.
E: Nyufufu... now, let's see what my next move should be.
E: The card that shall lead me next is...!
E: Hmm? "death" in a reversed position?
E: This means stagnation, a resistance to change.
E: In other words, continue as I am!

Eri continued to be lead by her tarot cards, drawing one bold stroke after another
After a while...

E: Oh... here it is!
E: Now here's a work that is truly magical!
S: What picture did you make?
E: See for yourself! A masterpiece born from our mana put together!

Painting
The picture looked pretty good!

E: I'll call it "The Eternally Raging Storm"!
E: If we continue developing the magic we used this time, the day when the rank 10 magic "world creation" is mastered won't be far off!
S: Rank Ten you say, that sounds amazing...!/The picture looks so cool...!
E: Nyufufu~
E: "Art is an explosion" is a phrase that perfectly defines this work!
E: I knew calling you here was a good idea. It would have been difficult to paint this on my own
E: If I keep this up, the practical exam'll be a breeze!

Stomache rumbles

E: Ah... I may have used too much magic energy
E: Master, please help me replenish it!
S: M-mana replenishment...?/So you're hungry?
S: I sneak through the dorm supervisors' checking station and take out the cookies I brought in.
E: Wow...! Those cookies look delicious!
E: But how to eat them? My hands are all covered in paint...
E: Nyufufu, it can't be helped now that it's become like this. Master... if you don't mind, could you help me eat them?
S: If you say so...
E: Thank you very much!
E: Well then, let's eat!
E: Wow, getting your exclusive mana feels great!
S: Did you plan this by any chance...?
E: Nyufufu~ I wonder?
E: This too was probably ordained by the cards!

Afterwards, I had fun replenishing Eri's mana
Momotalk

E: I had fun today, Master
E: I won't have to worry about running out mana for a while thanks to you
E: Have you been able to replenish some of your own, Master?
S: As healthy as a horse!
E: Nyufufu
E: If you ever need a change of scenery here and there, just let me know.
E: We're bounded by magic after all
