＠Murasaki Shikibu
Sorry to keep you waiting. We have a few editions to choose from, but I recommend this one personally.
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
It's been translated into more modern language, and it also has commentary explaining the finer points and references of the original text, so it's perfect as an introduction to the work.
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
It's rather interesting how differently translators interpret a text. The same thing happens with my own book, “The Tale of Genji.”
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
In fact, if you were so inclined, you may even find it fun to try reading multiple editions and see how each one handles a given text.
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
Some of them are written with very casual, modern language, which certainly makes for a fun and breezy read...
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu

I served Lady Fujiwara-no-Shoushi, who married the emperor some time after her. So, in that sense...

Yes. I can sense some strange and...unsettling magical energy coming from it.
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
...[sr]...
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
So, one bite of this chocolate lets you recover from exhaustion and relieves stress, was it?
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
I'm not sure yet, but my suspicion is that...
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
...this chocolate is an elixir of sorts which gives one's stress a physical form.
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
So when everyone here ate it, the stress they didn't know they had came out all at once, tied itself to this unsettling magical energy, and produced this new kind of Shadow Servant.
[k]

[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_71 1.0]

Unfortunately, there is one other[sr]problem this situation poses!
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
The causes of stress tend to be highly personal.
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
If these dark beings are the personification of each Servant's stress, then they must also contain sensitive information about those Servants.
[k]

＠Murasaki Shikibu
So facing these Stress Servants in combat could mean we end up violating the original Servants' privacy, which would be a grave moral[line 2]
