Kunon the Sorcerer Can See (魔術師クノンは見えている)

A-ori.

I already decided that the first person I'd look at if I ever gained sight

would be myself.

The person I hate the most.

Unable to do anything alone, and everything a struggle.

Always troubling people around me.

I'd fall all the time and hurt myself.

The person I hate the most in the world: me.

So this is... me.

I'm not dashing.

No beard, either.

Well, that's because I'm a child.

I had wondered if looking at my face would make me hate myself even more,

or if perhaps it'd make me happy.

But I am still me, after all.

It's rather anticlimactic.

Hey, do you think I can come to like myself?

And... what are you?

KUNON THE SORCERER CAN SEE

I doubt it, but...

Is it you, Iko—

Did you call for me?

It's immaterial?

Master Kunon?

Iko?

Yes?

Iko.

Yes... Master Kunon!

Is your hair in a braid?

Yes, it is!

I didn't know maid outfits symbolized cleanliness so well.

A gentleman would first tell me that it looks good on me and I look cute!

So you did it! You made it happen!

Yes, I can see now.

Congratulations!

I'm so happy for you, Master Kunon!

I feel dizzy! You'll make me sick!

Oh, sorry!

We should let your father know right away!

I must cook up a feast for tonight!

Listen, aren't you in the mood for some creamy crab croquettes?

Is that your request? I can do that!

Iko, do you... have a horn on your head?

No. I do when I get mad, but right now I'm happy so it's pulled in!

Is that so?

Now I can see your charming face and your sexy horn.

I'm glad I didn't say that.

So this is... scenery.

That's not what I expected!

Master Kunon, it's still chilly outside.

Thank you.

Let us go.

I'm sure everyone will be over the moon.

You're right.

By the way, do you see something behind me?

Oh my! Is this a scary story? I love it!

Let me hear it!

No, never mind.

What?! I'd love to hear it!

The experiment was a massive success.

Now I can see, but...

I can see, but...!

You can see now?!

Yes.

You did it!

Kunon.

I'm so glad! So glad!

I'm proud of you, Kunon.

Mother.

Kunon?

Well, um...

Why do they look super cool?!

It's just that you look so cool.

Mother looks beautiful, you mean?

Uh, yeah! Like a heroine from an epic adventure?

Are you saying I'm a heroine, like a princess?

Oh, Kunon.

No, the one holding the sword.

Do I look cool, too?

Yes, very much.

Do your parents happen to be fallen angels by any chance?

They are your parents, too, so you know the answer.

Yes, I do know that, but...

Say, Iko, are there humans with wings in this world?

Every single one of us is born with wings.

By spreading the wings called freedom and potential,

we can soar into the sky of the mind.

But as we get older, we forget how to do it.

Until a few years ago... I mean, I'm still young and fresh!

The crab, the horn,

the eyes of a heroine from an adventure and the wings of a fallen angel.

They are immaterial, and only I can see them.

Why is that?

Kunon! Kunon!

Oh, Father has returned.

Both Mother and Brother are the badass type, so Father must also be...

Finally... Finally, you did it.

I don't even understand what he is!

Darling! That's right. Kunon finally did it!

Well done! Good job!

Tonight, we celebrate!

We must send word to the castle, too.

Let's decorate with a lot of beautiful flowers Kunon can enjoy looking at.

I'm going to cook tons of creamy crab croquettes, so you just wait!

Brother.

Hm?

Is a father usually like fog within a family?

Don't ever say that out loud!

You'll make Father cry for real!

Okay.

I'll ask my master for advice.

Excuse me.

Who said you could enter?

Oh, wow. This is my first time seeing the floor of Mr. Zeon's room.

We can't thank Kunon enough, can we?

Eek!

State your business. Otherwise, begone.

Grand Master's message.

His Majesty has granted you permission to go outside, so you can go.

What?

Apparently there's good news.

Is it Kunon?

Oh, he's here.

Oh, right.

Kunon!

Your Highness, it's been a while.

Sister Raysha told me!

You finally made your dream come true!

Yes.

Is this it?

Yes. It's the eye of mirrors that reflects everything.

I'm calling it the Glass Eye.

Will you take a look at my face?

Yes, it'd be my pleasure!

I've worked hard so I can see Your Highness's face!

I'm just so excited, my heart is bouncing like a young boy!

I am a young boy, in fact.

Gorgeous blonde like the rays of the morning sun.

Ice blue eyes.

You're just as beautiful as I imagined, if not more...

Of course!

Kunon?

Am I not your type?

That will never be true when it comes to you, Your Highness!

You're more than I imagined!

Really?

Yes, you're just like a feather of a beautiful bird!

A feather?

He means the wings of freedom and potential.

If the young and fresh Princess Mirika is flying freely in the sky,

a large, middle-aged man with a beard will come catch you in a silver cage!

As always, your analogy is scary.

Right now, Your Highness has the skill to take down a

large, middle-aged man with a beard in one hit.

Congratulations on your achievement.

Thank you very much.

Um... that's a very cool sword.

This? It's my partner.

Sure, that one.

Sir Dario is also the badass type.

Yo, Kunon.

Now you're summoning me. Look at you moving up the ladder, huh?

And who the heck do we have here?!

Uh... Are you my master?

I can't see you well because you're too bright.

Too bright? Of course I am.

I am always shining.

What are you talking about?

N-No, that's not quite what I mean...
