Murr: Ah, Faust!
Faust: Murr... and Shylock, too... You’re carrying quite a lot.
Shylock: We went out to stock up on supplies. I also wanted to tend to Bennett’s shop, so we went all the way to the Divine Wine Pleasure District.
Murr: Everything in this big bag is a gift for Shylock. The regulars from the shops we visited gave us all sorts of things!
Murr: There’s plenty of interesting stuff. For example, this chocolate!
Faust: H-Hey. That belongs to Shylock, doesn’t it? You shouldn’t open it without permission.
Shylock: Oh, don’t worry about it. The person who gave it to me said, “Enjoy it with everyone at the Magic Manor.”
Murr: That’s just a formality, Shylock. You know it, don’t you? You sly man.
Murr: The real request was, “I’d love to see you in love, so if possible, eat one in front of me.”
Shylock: I still had supplies to buy, so I politely declined. I just accepted the sentiment for now.
Faust: Love…? Ah, I see.
Faust: I sensed a faint trace of magic… So it’s a type of potion? A love potion, perhaps…?
Shylock: Something like that. Just one bite, and if your eyes meet with someone—oh, what a surprise.
Shylock: A charm takes effect, making you fall head over heels for them.
Faust: It does give off a rather shady vibe...
Murr: I think it’s more like a novelty prank item. But when someone says something that interesting, it makes me want to try it out!
Murr: Hey, Faust, why don’t you try one too?
Faust: Why me!? No thanks. If you want to test it, do it yourselves.
Shylock: Oh? I think it would go well with a strong tea or even wine.
Shylock: I brought it back thinking that, with everyone at the Magic Academy, experiencing a bit of love could be quite entertaining.
Faust: Unfortunately, a gloomy guy like me has no interest in those kinds of games.
Faust: You should just take it to the bar and serve it as a snack—just make sure no kids accidentally eat it.
Murr: Kids shouldn’t eat it?
Faust: They’d be shocked if they ate it unknowingly. Even if they knew, they’d still be surprised…
Faust: At the very least, Heathcliff would definitely be shocked, and if something actually happened, he’d be worried about it for a whole month.
Shylock: Everyone would be affected in some way, so there’s no need to worry so much.
Faust: My kid’s a sensitive one.
Murr: But yeah, if you had it with alcohol, I bet it would liven things up!
Murr: Let’s invite Rustica and Chloe too and have a Love Potion Chocolate Party tonight! Of course, walk-ins are welcome!
Shylock: Sounds good. Besides, we did just restock. No matter what effect the charm might have…
Shylock: As long as we have good conversation with wonderful friends, some drinks, and delicious chocolate, I’m sure it’ll be an enjoyable night.
Faust: ……
Faust: …I'll make sure to tell Nero that it’s best if he avoids the bar tonight.
