한국어
가이아의 저주를 받고 망령 멜리사가 태어난 후, 폐허가 된 ‘델링스노트’ 마을 외곽 도서관에서 한 소녀가 오래된 책을 바닥에 펼치고 혼잣말을 하며, 수상한 그림을 그리고 있었다.
“분명 저 책에서는 이렇게 하면 된다고 했는데…”
그 순간 바닥에 그려진 그림에서 빛이 나더니 귀여운 토끼가 기침을 하며 튀어나왔다. 주변을 둘러보고 난 후 토끼는 소녀를 바라보며 근엄하게 말했다.
“콜록콜록… 이렇게 소환진을 못 그려서야 원… 이쪽 세계로 넘어오는데 너무 힘들었느니라~ 시간의 대악마인 이 몸, 크로노를 감히 부른 너는 누구며 무슨 이유로 나를 찾았느냐.”
“저는 크로니에요. 이 마을에 얼마 남지 않은 주민이죠. 시간을 돌려서 마을을 망쳐버린 멜리사가 태어나지 못하게 하고 싶어요.”
크로노는 이리저리 돌아다니며 주변을 살펴보고 말했다.
“음음음… 좀 심심하긴 했는데 이유는 좀 시시하네… 근데 재미있을 것 같기도 하고…”
자신을 시간의 대악마라고 자칭하며 증럴거리는 ‘크로노’를 보고, 크로니는 도발하듯 물었다.
“그런데 당신 정말 저 책이서 말하는 시간의 대악마 ‘크로노’ 님이 맞나요? 뭔가 좀 근엄한 모습일 줄 알았는데 생각보다 귀여우시네요?”
“아니 악마가 현세에 강림할 때는 양이나 토끼 같은 모습으로 나오는 것도 몰라??”
크로니는 도발이 성공했다는 생각이 들었지만, 웃음을 숨기며 크로노에게 말했다.
“그렇다면 당신이 정말 시간의 악마가 맞는지 증명해 봐요. 저를 과거로 보내 주실 수 있나요? ‘귀여운’ 크로노 씨?”
크로노가 씩씩거리며 크로니가 들고 온 우상을 펼쳐 이리저리 살펴본 다음 마법을 걸었다.
“이 우산을 휘두르면 내 환영이 나와서 우리를 원하는 사간으로 이동시켜 줄 거야. 흠흠… 내가 시범으로 보여주지. 이 몸의 권능에 놀라 자빠지지나 말라고!”
크로노가 우산을 들고 휘두르자, 둘은 처음부터 없었던 것처럼 사라졌다.
Bahasa
Di sebuah perpustakaan di pinggiran kota Dellingnoth yang telah hancur, setelah kutukan Gaia dan kelahiran hantu Melissa, seorang gadis muda membentangkan sebuah buku tua di lantai, berbicara pada dirinya sendiri dan membuat gambar-gambar aneh.
“Sudah pasti buku itu mengatakan bahwa inilah yang seharusnya dilakukan…”
Pada saat itu, gambar di lantai bersinar dan seekor kelinci kecil yang lucu terbatuk-batuk dan melompat keluar. Setelah melihat sekeliling, kelinci itu menatap gadis itu dan berkata dengan tegas.
“Uhuk, uhuk, uhuk… Kuharap kamu tidak menggambar lingkaran pemanggilan seperti ini … Aku mengalami kesulitan untuk menyeberang ke dunia lain … Akulah Chrono, iblis besar waktu, siapa kamu sehingga kamu berani memanggilku, dan untuk alasan apa kamu mencariku?
“Namaku Chrony, dan aku salah satu dari sedikit penduduk yang tersisa di desa ini, dan aku ingin mengembalikan waktu dan mencegah Melissa, wanita yang menghancurkan desa ini, agar tidak dilahirkan.”
Chrono berjalan berkeliling dan melihat sekelilingnya.
“Mmmmmmm… Ini agak membosankan, entah kenapa… Tapi kedengarannya menyenangkan…”
Melihat ‘Chrono’, yang memproklamirkan diri sebagai iblis waktu, terengah-engah, Chrony bertanya dengan mengejek.
“Ngomong-ngomong, apakah kamu benar-benar Iblis Besar Waktu ‘Chrono’ yang dikatakan buku itu? Kupikir kamu akan sedikit lebih menyeramkan, tapi sebenarnya kamu lebih imut dari yang kukira?”
“Tidak. Tidakkah kamu tahu bahwa ketika iblis turun ke dunia fana, mereka muncul sebagai domba atau kelinci?”
Chrony berkata pada Chrono, menyembunyikan senyum, meskipun dia merasa ejekannya berhasil.
“Kalau begitu buktikan padaku jika kamu memang Iblis Waktu, bisakah kamu mengirimku kembali ke masa lalu, Tuan Chrono yang ‘imut’?”
Chrono mendengus, membentangkan payung yang dibawa Chrony, memeriksanya, dan kemudian mengucapkan mantra.
“Jika aku mengayunkan payung ini, ilusi diriku akan keluar dan membawa kita ke masa lalu yang kita inginkan. hmmmm… Aku akan memberikan demonstrasi, agar kamu tidak panik dengan kekuatan benda ini!”
Chrono mengambil payung itu dan mengayunkannya, dan mereka menghilang seolah-olah mereka tidak pernah ada di sana.
English
In a library on the outskirts of the ruined town of Dellingnoth, after Gaia’s curse and the birth of the wraith Melissa, a young girl spreads an old book on the floor, talking to herself and drawing strange pictures.
“Surely that book says this is how it’s supposed to be done…”
At that moment, the drawing on the floor glowed and a cute little rabbit coughed and jumped out. After looking around, the rabbit looked at the girl and said sternly.
” Cough, cough, cough… I wish you wouldn’t have drawn a summoning circle like this… I had such a hard time crossing over to the other world… Chrono, the great demon of time, who are you that you dared to call me, and for what reason did you seek me out?”
“My name is Chrony, and I’m one of the few remaining residents of this village, and I want to turn back time and prevent Melissa, the woman who ruined this village, from being born.”
Chrono walked around and looked at his surroundings.
“Mmmmmmm… This is kind of boring, for some reason… But it sounds like fun…”
Seeing ‘Chrono’, the self-proclaimed arch-demon of time, huffing and puffing, Chrony asked tauntingly.
“By the way, are you really the Great Demon of Time ‘ Chrono ‘ that the book says you are? I thought you’d be a little more stern, but you’re actually cuter than I thought?”
“No. Don’t you know that when demons descend to the mortal world, they appear as sheep or rabbits?”
Chrony said to Chrono, hiding a smile, though she felt that her taunt had succeeded.
“Then prove to me if you are indeed the Demon of Time, can you send me back in time, ‘cute’ Mr. Chrono?”
Chrono grunted, unfurled the umbrella Crony was carrying, looked it over, and then cast a spell.
“If I swing this umbrella, an illusion of me will come out and transport us to any time we want. hmmmm… I’ll give you a demonstration, so you don’t freak out at the power of this thing!”
Chrono picked up the umbrella and swung it, and they disappeared as if they had never been there.
