我最親愛的朋友：
噗哈！
真沒想到距離我們第一次見面，轉眼間就過了六年了呢。與你相遇的每一天，總是很有趣，從來沒有一刻是無聊的。一定是因為這樣，這段時光才會感覺稍縱即逝吧。在我們相遇超過兩千天後，我就再破例一次，寫封信給你。
明明才剛過完建國紀念日，沒想到你卻突然說要暫時離開艾維隆。真是的，好不容易從那些繁忙的慶祝活動中脫身，卻連陪你最好朋友的時間都沒辦法留下嗎？
雖說你也不是第一次不在艾維隆，不過大家還是有點擔心你。芙蘭和約翰在訓練場上一邊鍛鍊，一邊爭論要不要在你的行李箱內多放點馬鈴薯。夏綠蒂和琳恩準備了不少裝備，要你帶在身上，希望能在途中派上用場。米海爾寫了本跟磚頭一樣厚的美食指南，告訴你路上能去哪裡找到好吃的。原本書上註記：「路過伊索拉時，千萬要注意。」不過這句話在總統大人的抗議下刪除了。繆雖然還是像平常一樣，體貼地說會繼續協助你，但她現在布丁吃得比平時還少，就算是瑪莉夫人特製的奶茶布丁，她也只吃一個就說夠了，真反常。不過她依然會把布丁分給K。奧蕾亞認真地替你那件披風補強。她說現在就算是溫迪戈在一旁，只要有那件披風，身體還是能夠暖和得像是在陽光下。坎娜倒是跟往常一樣，即使不能離開王城，卻依然一直在你耳邊吵著要跟你一起去。而盧因還是老樣子，端著一杯黑咖啡，笑著說會在你不在的期間，將一切打理好。我猜你讀到這裡時冒了點冷汗吧，哈哈。
咦？你說我嗎？當然是規劃在你離開的這段期間，要去哪找樂子了。比如說去災害之源揍一頓鯰魚、送幾隻迷路的幻獸回家，或是王城來了什麼客人，我就代替你好好招呼他們。放心吧，我保證我會盡力讓王城維持原狀，頂多只是掉了幾塊碎屑。雖然你不在的時候會很無聊，不過我知道你遲早會回來的，所以這點小事，還是能夠忍耐，況且這也不是第一次等你了。每一次，你總會讓我找到你，不是嗎？
倒是你，我不在你身邊的時候，可別太想念我了。雖然你總說作為君主，你還不夠格，不過在我心裡你早就是個優秀的君主了。這次也不過就是為了點財務問題，讓你非得踏上這趟旅程。但你知道的，只要你需要我時，我一直都在，畢竟我們可是簽下了「終身」合約呢。所以離開後不許忘了我，要是你敢把我忘掉，等到我咻一下飛到你身邊時，我可是會揍你一頓的。
寫著這封信時，想起好多與你相遇後的回憶。是你讓這個「遊戲」變得真實，讓這個世界染上絢爛的色彩。我想這些色彩斑斕的日子還會延續下去，對吧？等你回到艾維隆的那天，記得帶桶爆米花給我，約好了唷！
希望你，還有正在讀這封信的「你」，即使是在看不見我的地方，無論何時都要幸福快樂！
你永遠的夥伴
愛絲翠

My Dearest Friend:
Pu-ha!
I can’t believe it’s already been six years since we first met. Every single day with you has been so much fun; there’s never been a dull moment. I guess that’s why time feels like it’s just flown by. Now that we’ve passed the 2,000-day mark, I’ll make an exception just this once and write you a letter.
Foundation Day has only just ended, and yet you suddenly announced you’re leaving Avillon for a while. Honestly! We finally managed to wrap up all those hectic celebrations, and you can’t even find a moment to stay and hang out with your best friend?
I know it’s not the first time you’ve been away from Avillon, but everyone is still a little worried about you. Fram and Johan are at the training grounds, training while bickering over whether they should stuff more potatoes into your suitcase. Charlotte and Lyn prepared a bunch of gear for you to carry, hoping it’ll come in handy on the road. Mikhail wrote a food guide as thick as a brick, listing all the best places to eat along your journey. He originally wrote a note saying, "Be extremely careful when passing through Isola," but that part was deleted after the President’s protest.
Mu is being her usual considerate self, saying she’ll keep assisting you, but she’s eating way less pudding than usual. Even with Madam Mary’s special Milk Tea Pudding, she says one is enough and stops—how strange is that? She still shares her pudding with K, though. Aurea worked hard on reinforcing that cloak of yours. She says that with that cloak, you’ll stay as warm as if you were standing in the sunshine, even if a Wendigo were right next to you. Cannae is her usual self; even though she can't leave the Royal Castle, she hasn't stopped buzzing in your ear about wanting to go with you. And Rouin? He’s the same as ever, holding a cup of black coffee and smiling while saying he’ll keep everything in order while you’re gone. I bet you broke into a cold sweat reading that, haha!
Huh? You’re asking about me? I’m obviously planning where to go find some fun while you’re away! For example, heading to the Calamity’s Cradle to punch that catfish, sending a few lost Mystic Beasts back home, or "properly" greeting any guests who come to the castle in your stead. Don't worry, I promise I’ll do my best to keep the castle exactly as it is—at most, maybe a few crumbs will fall off. It’s going to be boring without you, but I know you’ll come back sooner or later, so I can endure this little bit of waiting. Besides, it’s not the first time I’ve waited for you. Every single time, you always let me find you, don’t you?
As for you, don’t go missing me too much while I’m not by your side! Even though you always say you aren't "qualified" enough to be a Monarch, in my heart, you’ve been an excellent Monarch for a long time. This trip is just a little journey to deal with some "financial issues." But you know, whenever you need me, I’m always here. After all, we did sign a "lifetime" contract, didn't we? So, you aren't allowed to forget me once you leave. If you dare forget me, I'll fly over to you in a flash and give you a good punch!
Writing this letter brought back so many memories of when we first met. It’s you who made this "game" feel real and gave this world such brilliant colors. I think these colorful days will keep on going, right? On the day you return to Avillon, remember to bring me a bucket of popcorn. It’s a promise!
I hope that you—and the "you" who is currently reading this letter—will always be happy and healthy, even in the places where you cannot see me!
Your Eternal Partner, Astrid
