NOTES;
#01 flower: Probably my favorite scene in the OVA so far. Zelos is such a nice guy, trying to cheer her up with that flower ♥
#02 sign-ups: He has his arm around her shoulder and you can see his hand on her shoulder. That counts, right? 8D
#03 mythology: This scene gives off some mystical vibes, I hope it's okay like that?
#04 heart symbol: These sprites are from "Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3", so, yes, official art.
#05 foreign language: 「アホ神子」 (aho miko) means "stupid chosen". Zelos is the chosen of Tethe'Alla and that's what she calls him ;)
#10 valentine card: DON'T ASK. I don't know what that even is. The icon, I mean orz"
COLOR GRADIENT: I hope these icons don't look too boring. I tried to tell a story between them using their skit faces, but...
artist's choice #3: I love the fact that he took that bell for Shihna and just the whole scene and the way he holds her hand and ahhhh //// ♥
artist's choice #5: 「ありがとう。」 (arigatou) means "thank you".

TRANSLATIONS;
#2 「アホミコ」 is the same as 「アホ神子」, "stupid chosen"
#3 「俺様の好きな子は...」 (Ore-sama no suki na ko ha...) means "The girl I like is..."
#4 "Du weißt, wovon ich rede, Honey" is German and means "You know what I'm talking about, Honey." And lmao, I just realised that it should be "Hunny", not "Honey" lol. Who cares.
