Royal Blue Loved by the Royal Family
Episode 8


Azuma	“This is a world where everyone believes that if you pray to a gem, your wish will be granted.
	And in this world, once in a blue moon, a child is born with a gem….. And in a certain town, there was a boy who was born with sapphire.
	And that boy had a friendly personality that garnered a lot of love from others. The people saw his sapphire and prayed to him.”
Citron	“I’m home.”
Sakyo	“You were showing off your gem to everyone again, weren’t you? There is no telling when it will get stolen.”
Citron	“Don’t say something so harsh. I only hope that by showing them my gem I can make them happy.”

Sakyo	“You say that every time.”
Citron	“You, my housemate, are also born with a gem after all.
	I wish that you too would sometimes show others that Alexandrite you have.
	Hmm?”
Sakyo	“A visitor?
	What could they want, at this hour.”

Muku	“T-This is bad! At this rate, it will get stolen!”
Citron	“Stolen? Who will steal what?”
Muku	“YOUR GEM!”
Citron	“Ahaha, what a funny joke.”
Muku	“It’s not a damn joke! You need to run! Quickly, over here!”
Citron	“I did as I was told and got out but….”
Sakyo	“Hey, look. The police have arrived.”
Citron	“Really!? But, what the heck is going on…”
Muku	“It seems like a rumor has been spread that your sapphire is fake and that it brings misfortune to people.”
Citron	“That’s preposterous! In any case, all I need to do is go tell them that this is the real thing, right?”
Sakyo	“But how would you get people to believe you? You can’t simply just show it to everyone, you will need to have some proof that it is the real thing somehow.”
Citron	“For that proof…. well.. with my pure heart and sparkling innocent eyes, I will look at them and…”
Muku	“On the contrary, that sounds pretty weird and not normal at all!”
Sakyo	“More and more people are becoming doubtful.”
Audience	Ahahaha…
Izumi	(Citron and the others’ are reciting their lines pretty smoothly, the audience seems like they are also getting into it too.)
Sakyo	“By the way, I heard that if all of those who were born with gems gather up their gems together, light will shine from the gems.
	That seems to me like the fastest and most efficient way to show proof that your gem is real.”
Citron	“Really?! As expected as someone who is so knowledgeable! So, when you said all of those born with gems, how many are there?”
Sakyo	“6 people if I am not mistaken.”
Citron	“So, that means there are 4 others.”
Muku	“…. Well there are 3 others.”
Citron	“? What is that supposed to mean?”
Muku	“Well… actually.. I am…”
Sakyo	“!? You mean you are Tourmaline…!?”
Citron	“You are also one born with a gem!? Why didn’t you tell us earlier!?”

Muku	“My parents told me to keep my gem close to me and to never tell anyone so it would not get stolen.”
Citron	“Oh, so that’s it….
	So then that means we only need 3 more people! I am feeling good about this! Off to find those 3, let’s go on a journey!”
Sakyo	“Also I will say that I have also heard about the other remaining people born with gems. The closest should be the one born with Blood Stone.”
Muku	“Alright! Let’s get going.”

Juza	“I am the one who was born with Blood Stone. However, I will offer up my help unconditionally.”
Citron	“So, what is the condition then?”
Juza	“I seek strength. Let’s have a match of hand-to-hand combat and you try to beat me.”
Citron & Muku	“No way, completely impossible.”
Juza	“LET’’S GO!!”
Citron	“Listen to me!!! Uwaa!?
	Damn, there is no way around this!”
Muku	“EY!
	UWAA!? …. AHHH!”
Sakyo	“HA!
	GUWAAA! H-He’s strong…!”
Citron	“I am not done yet! I can definitely do it! ORYAAAA!!!”
Audience A	You can do it!
Audience B	Wow! What cool action scenes…!
Citron	“Haa, haa, haa… Just as I thought… it’s no use… but…”
Juza	“Of course you guys could not defeat me… however, I like your persistence.
	Alright. I will help..”
Citron	“Really!? Wow, thank you!”
Muku	Thank goodness, just 2 more people left.”
Sakyo	“Great, on to the next.”

Chikage	“I see, you are in need of the power of me and my emerald. However I do not see any benefit in helping you.”
Citron	“That’s not true! If you help us, I will smile for you!”
Chikage	“Pass.”
Muku	“Umm, If you want I could cook for you…!”
Chikage	“If you will cook, then I would consider it”
Sakyo	“However about the benefits of traveling with us…”
Citron	“Yea, there are tons of spices in our town so you can have all the spice your heart desires!”
Sakyo	"Hey, is that really a benefit….”
Chikage	“I’m in.”
Everyone	“HUH!?”
Chikage	“I love spices. If I get as many as I want…. then yeah, I will help you guys as long as you need me.”
Citron	“Wow were were lucky to be able to reel you in with someone you like!”
Muku	“Great, now let’s go find the last person!”
Sakyo	“The last one is the one who holds diamond.”
Citron	“And by the way, everyone will soon be able to see my gem!”
Izumi	(hmm? Is this one of Citron’s adlibs?
	… hm, and suddenly Guy and Mika are gone.)
Azuma	“But we can look at it later, I have not had my chance to be introduce myself after all. I have been waiting patiently for my turn.”
Citron	“Huh, well you are right…”
Azuma	“Hey, I will help you.”
Muku	“But we didn’t even say anything….”
Azuma	“I can read people’s minds.”
Chikage	“….. Wow, this guy’s pretty wild.”
Juza	“He can.. read people’s minds….”
Sakyo	“Do we really want to ask him to help?”
Citron	“ whisper whisper…. “
Azuma	“Do not whisper. That is rude.”
Citron	“With all 6 of us gathered, we can return to the town.”
Muku	“Ahh, the townspeople are gathering…!”
Sakyo	“They have been ready and waiting, haven’t they?”
Citron	“My gem is the real thing. Everyone, please pile up your gems!”

Chikage	“The light is…!”
Juza	“Yes, it is shining.”
Citron	“This is the real thing! This proves it…!”
Azuma	“So, with his gem proven to be the real thing, the townspeople returned to their peaceful life.
	However, more people came to pray to his gem this time.”
