Helios Rising Heroes - Gray’s Character Story 1 Translation
Gray Reverse and Billy Wise from East Sector
Gray: Haa… to think that I have to spend time with other people staying in the same room…
Gray: (But he’s also a teammate, perhaps I can make him a friend?)
Gray: (Naah, I will be a bother staying in the same room; there’s no way I will get along with him.)
Gray: (If I get hated even more…. If I get harassed just like in Academy….)
Gray: Billy Wise, huh? I wonder what kind of kid he is, hey, Buddy?
Gray: (Since we cannot keep pets inside the Tower, I brought his photo, but I miss him indeed, because Buddy is my only friend…)
Gray: Buddy, at least please watch over me.
???: HAHAHA~♪ My room, is it here?
Gray: !!
Gray: (Billy-kun!? My, my heart isn’t prepared…!)
Billy: Oops, here looks like a rookie bedroom, right? I’m a detective~♪
Billy: Hm? You in the bedroom corner! You are here, means you are the rookie of East Sector, right?
Gray: ! Ri, right….
Billy: Wow! We finally met, Gray Reverse! A touching meeting with my roommate~♪
Billy: Too bad we didn’t see each other in the opening ceremony venue. I wonder if I couldn’t find you because your shadow was thin? (T/N: doesn’t have remarkable presence)
Gray: Ugh…if you said it so clearly…
Billy: Well, no problemo! We can meet safely like this after all~♪
Billy: My name is Billy Wise, My hobby is performing magic tricks, if you have any request for performance, you’re welcome anytime ☆ Please treat me well from now on~♪
Gray: …
Gray: (This kid is my total opposite. It doesn’t look like we will get along…)
Billy: Hmm~, I don’t hear any response? Please treat me well~?
Gray: Ah, please…please treat me well…
Billy: Well, well, please introduce yourself too ☆
Gray: Eh, me…? Eeh, I am Gray Reverse…uhhh, ehhh…
Gray: (He might hate me if I don’t reply quickly…. But what should I say…?)
Gray: So, sorry…
Billy: Why are you apologizing? No problem! I know everything about you!
Billy: Gray Reverse. 25 years old. Born in Green East, family members are parents, younger sister and younger brother. After you dropped out from the Academy when you were 20 years old, you challenged the tryout while doing part-time jobs.
Billy: This time you passed with the third challenge. Congratulations for joining Helios officially~♪
Billy: You were in the same cohort as Asch-paisen, and this time you are assigned to the same team. Is this also what you call fate?
Gray: …Why do you know such things…?
Billy: Because I am Million’s best information dealer…☆
Billy: If you want any information, feel free to ask me any~thing. No matter how difficult a request, I will work hard as long as I get paid~♪
Gray: (Ugh, I got a weird kid as a roommate…. I’m at my limit, please help me Buddy….)
Billy: Hey hey, is that a portrait you are glancing at since before? Perhaps your girlfriend or something?
Gray: No, it’s nothing like that!
Billy: Hey hey, let me see let me see~? I am the type that wants to expose hidden things♡
Gray: No… don’t peek…!
Billy: You don’t want me to see that much~? Well, forget it then!
Billy: Hmm~? The thing on your bed, the battle game highly popular in New Million!
Billy: Hey hey, please teach me~?
Gray: Eh, you mean this game? Teaching you is a bit much for me…
Billy: I’m playing casually for the sake of gathering information, but I couldn’t get stronger at all. I get bored as soon as I touch it. I wonder if I need more playmates?
Gray: …
Gray: (although we’re talking about my favourite game, why can’t I even say one word…. Although it was a good chance to get along with Billy-kun…)
Gray: (But, perhaps it’s better like this. If I will get hated and harassed later, no need to get along from the first place…)
Gray: (In the first place, the bright and talkative Billy-kun and the gloomy me, it’s impossible for us to get along well…)
Billy: Ah, right! Did you register to HELIOS∞CHANNEL? Let’s be friends~♪
Gray: F, friends!? With me!?
Billy: Yeah♪all the staffs are required to register anyway, we can contact each other easily, it’s good!
Gray: (Uuh, he meant ‘friend’ over there…! I was so happy but that was a misunderstanding, I’m so ashamed…. I wonder if Billy-kun thinks of me as strange person…)
Gray: …be, because I don’t really use such things.
Billy: Eh, really?
Billy: Because people who are not good at talking face to face, usually are okay with SNS where we don’t have to show our face. I thought you are like that as well. Well, there’s even the term like ‘keyboard warrior’?
Gray: I don’t have any friend whether in internet or real life…
Gray: (Uuh, saying that myself, I’m so sad now. But I don’t have a personality like him…no, I’m no good because I keep saying things like that.)
Gray: (Although I can’t help but wanting to join HELIOS…although I can’t help but wanting to be a Hero…. That’s why I….)
Gray: (I must not run away, this is a test. As a rookie, I must endure this…)
Billy: Sorry to interrupt while you’re thinking, but what nickname do you want me to call you?
Gray: Eh? Ni, nickname?
Billy: I like to give nicknames to people~♪ I wonder what should I call you? Hmmm, what is good?
Gray: !
Gray: (My nickname during Academy days was ‘Geek’…that only brings bad memories when Asch harassed me. I don’t want to be called weird nicknames anymore…)
Billy: Then, it’s decided…☆
Billy: Gray! I’m going to call you ‘Gray’!
Gray: …Eh? That isn’t a nickname, right?
Billy: Hmm~ I have racked my brain, but I can’t think of any good nickname for you.
Billy: Well, not like there’s any problem with having no nickname, right? You’re special because you’re my roommate! We are friends starting today…☆
Billy: With all that said, Gray! Once again, please treat me well from now on~♪
Gray: (F, friends…! This time is not my misunderstanding!?)
Gray: P, please treat me well too, Billy-kun!
Gray: (I made a friend, Buddy! Billy-kun is such a nice kid…. I’m glad we are in the same team…!)
