Ferris:  For the good of the kingdom I would have His Highness simply resign himself to this meeting, but as I owe a great debt to him, I am obliged to do all I can when he comes to me for help. Incidentally, Your Highness, if this marriage were to go ahead, would the young lady be coming to Lugunica?”

Fourier:  “No—Miklotov told me I should prepare to continue my studies somewhere chilly… I can’t do it! I hate being hot and being cold, but cold is definitely worse! You know me—even on a warm day like today, I never let my robe out of my sight.”

Fourier:  Fourier couldn’t bring himself to have any interest in the meeting, and he was certainly concerned about what life would be like once he was wed.
gpt
Fourier:  “And that means it’s possible neither of the parties to this marriage would be happy…” He moaned.
human
Ferris:  But just as Ferris loved and respected Crusch, he felt a deep affection for Fourier as well. If it could be done, he wanted to see them both enjoy the greatest possible happiness in this life.

Ferris:  “Okay, Your Highness, mew’ve made yourself perfectly clear. We must find a way to scuttle this meeting. I guess your reputation can’t get any worse, anyway!”
human
Fourier:  “Oh! You’ve come around? Now, that’s encouraging, Ferris! So, what’s your plan? Shall we pretend I’m already betrothed? You know, to…someone?”
gpt
Ferris:  “Mew would have to show more courage than you’ve ever shown in your life to pull that off, Your Highness!”
human
Ferris:  Even as he chastised Fourier for his lack of spine, Ferris took Crusch’s hand.
gpt
Ferris:  Then he placed it over another hand that was still clinging to his knees—Fourier’s hand.

Ferris:  “This is how it works. As sorry as I feel for the young lady, at the meeting you have to declare that your heart already belongs to another…and that’s how you’ll make it through!”
gpt
Fourier:  “Th-th-that’s your plan?! But…but Crusch and I aren’t lovers…!”
human
Ferris:  “You’re right, you’re not! But all you have to do is get the other side to believe you are and back out of the match. After that, the two of mew just have a big fight and ‘break up’ or something. No more problem!”
gpt
Fourier:  “Ferris! My heart hurts for some reason! And my chest and my back! Please, cast healing magic on me!”
human
Ferris:  “Healing magic can’t fix the kind of pain you’re mewling right now, Your Highness. Sorry!”
gpt
Fourier:  Fourier found himself caught up in the momentum of Ferris’s idea.
