[ No, literally. It's a box. It looks kind of messy, though....

A box in which birds can drop messages off to the magician in question.

Do it. ]

Does it matter~? I'm going to put a bunch of country names in my panties, an the one I pick out is the one I'm going to! 18th birthday, here I come! Good luck with that, Polly!

...Ja.

[abwehr]

How much money does a magician make that you can just up and leave for a different country?

... Nein.

[magicpanchira]

Enough! Especially if you save. Besides, it's not like I'm going to live there... probably!

Achtung, Polly!

[abwehr]

You have more money saved than me, don't you? [ WHAT A HORRID THOUGHT. ] I evidently chose the wrong profession.

Gesundheit.

[magicpanchira]

I sure do! You know, you still have time to come to the magic side....

Wienerschnitzel.

[abwehr]

I think I'll stick to the law for now.

... Isn't that a hot dog?

[magicpanchira]

So when are you going to be my assistant?

It sure is. It's the only other word I know in German!

[abwehr]

Let's pencil that in for Tuesday the third of never. It's a pointless dream, Truce, give up.

[magicpanchira]

I never give up on my dreams! Besides, I know you... if I was really in a pinch, I know you'd help me out!

[abwehr]

You're not in a pinch though, you've probably got an entire team of back up assistants at this point.

[magicpanchira]

I've got four people so far: Mr. Naruhodo, Eikichi, Prosecutor Gavin, and my friend, Red.

[ Yes, she's already been recruiting people in this short span of time. ]

But I didn't mean this time, Polly... you never know, at some point I may not be so lucky, you know?

[abwehr]

See, you're hardly likely to need me at all! ...

...

Mr. Naruhodo agreed to be your assistant?

[magicpanchira]

We'll see about that!

...

He sure did! Isn't he the sweetest?

[abwehr]

Are you sure you didn't just assume he agreed to help? He doesn't exactly seem the magical assistant type.

[magicpanchira]

I'm positive! He doesn't, no, but he's been willing to do a lot of stuff with me lately. I even got him to go roller skating a few weeks back! Poor guy.

[abwehr]

You got him to do what?!

Do they even have roller skates back in his time?

[magicpanchira]

Roller skating. It was for a job, we got free booze out of the deal, too. I still have my portion of said booze!

...Um, I don't think so! He was pretty nervous about it, but he did really well!

1/2

[abwehr]

... Boo--... YOU ARE 16 YEARS OLD!

Who gave you alcohol?!

i lied 2/3

[abwehr]

Wait.

done

[abwehr]

What's the drinking age here anyway...?

[magicpanchira]

I'm going to be seventeen at the end of this month, to be fair! Er, and the owner of the... the thing we were advertising. It was for... well, booze.

...Um, I'm not sure! But I didn't drink any, if that's what you're asking. Even if it were legal for me to drink at sixteen, I wouldn't, because it's irresponsible and it'd make you upset! Plus alcohol is gross. I've had wine before, and this stuff smells even worse than that.

[abwehr]

That just means you're not remotely close to being old enough to sell or drink alcohol.

[ He actually laughs at her response. ] That's a very diplomatic answer, Trucy. Well done.

[magicpanchira]

I don't think I ever want to be old enough to do those things. But we did make money, at least!

W-well, it's true. I don't really see the appeal of alcohol anyways... I mean, I might go ahead and party on my twenty first birthday once just to say I did it, but that's besides the point! Doesn't alcohol make you really sick, anyways?

[abwehr]

You're gonna be old one day, it comes to us all.

It depends how much you drink. Some people can drink a lot without issue, but it's just a matter of finding a tolerance. Not everyone gets sick but hangovers are pretty horrible no matter who you are.

[magicpanchira]

I know, that's... kind of a scary thought. Time goes by pretty quickly, doesn't it? I wish I had some kind of magic to make it slow down!

That does sound horrible. Even still... when I turn twenty one, you're going to come with me to wherever, right? Someone needs to be able to tell me what all the good drinks are, and I definitely want you and Athena to come have fun with me! That's a whole four years away from now, though... I'm not sure what I even want to do for my seventeenth birthday, let alone my twenty first!
