Yes ♥ Welcome to Matori! I am Lilynanna, Matori's number one idol♪ Excuse me for this small delay in the sky♪ From now on we will explore Court Alf's Second Island of Song, which received the blessing of Joy from the Great Diva-sama♪

Do you see those beautiful ladies who wave to us from this ship? They are pirates looking out for other boats. Are you ready for your welcome party right now? Yahuu!♪
What? Scary? No way!♪ The Matori Pirates are good people! First of all, you should know that this island was originally inhabited by pirates who created a "pirate state" here. There seems to be a story that bears the same name. Are you still scared? Okay, for a while, until this ship arrives at port, I, Lilynanna, will tell you the story of Matori.
Matori's History (p48)
Spoiler
Of course, the word "pirate" evokes fearsome associations. In fact, I think there were a lot of bad pirates at sea. But aren't the Matori pirates different? Most of the pirates who gathered in Matori in the past lived very poorly, many of them had their homes destroyed by disasters, and some were persecuted even before they were born and have been on the run all their lives. There were many such people who were forced to leave their countries by unavoidable circumstances, so these pirates were not just indiscriminate robbers, right? And in the end there was the "Great Pirate Matori"! The legendary pirate who created a country on this piece of land! The "Great Pirate Matori" is a noble pirate of the past who was exceptional among pirates of that time♪ The history of Matori Island can't be told without the story of his life, can it? It will take a little longer, but listen to me♪
Matori was originally known as the older brother of a local aristocrat from the lands a little further away. He was known as a common man who possessed both good and bad qualities. However, Matori hated to bend under others. In neighboring countries, he was known as a wealthy merchant, but naturally he was not favored among the "dominant class" of his native country - the aristocracy, who enthusiastically overexploited their people to feed their own belly. Since childhood, Matori felt cramped within the walls of the mansion, often crying out: "One day I will spread my wings!" - when he traveled to the lands that were under his direct management... hmm, yes! It looks like he was a man who could not stand in one place! Although this nature led him to the fact that he often dropped "studying" because he was getting bored, and went to engage in "entertainment" such as hunting or horse riding. But Matori didn't just want to "have fun", he wanted to experience real life on his lands. Not to learn everything from the reports that come to the mansion, but to see everything with his own eyes and deepen the relationships with the people who live on his lands♪ And of course the active Matori did not just know everything in the end♪ If one of the village children was lost, then he combed the forest at night, and if bandits appeared on his land, he took the initiative until he forced them to flee... It's even surprising that when Matori went to court to resolve disputes over territory, the cases were organized in such a way that kept their noses clean! They say that once he saved a village from starvation due to a crop failure and no, he didn't just give them money! To help, he personally figured out the reasons for the poor harvest and, sometimes in consultation with his wonderful brothers, made various discoveries. To develop new methods of cultivating the land, when he was trying to grow new crops, he dared to rent a bad field and as a result exempted the owners of "prototype fields" from paying taxes for a long time...
…That's right, Matori was always in the thick of things and was always guiding others. But he did not limit himself to doing everything that he could himself. Matori also noticed the talents of the people around him and relied on his friends for his business. He seemed to be the perfect leader♪ He had a mysterious charm and was certainly loved in many lands. Even the thief who tried to steal his wallet was re-educated by Matori into being his loyal servant♪
But on the other hand, it seems that among the aristocrats of the time, the political skill that implied "mutually beneficial trade" was still too innovative. And one day, when Matori was returning from a meeting, he was kidnapped by pirates hired by an impoverished aristocrat who hated the very existence of Matori!
And this is where the best part of the story begins! Although Matori was captured by pirates, although he was captured and held on the ship, he did not even complain to these people. He only blamed his own clumsiness for this, and with the words: "I can't just sit and watch, leave this task to me!" - performed various duties on the ship!
Of course, his behavior at first seemed strange to the pirates, to the point that his captors worried: "Do you realize your situation?" However, Matori, with his characteristic courage and flexibility, taking the initiative and acting as a member of the ship's crew, eliminating the problems of the ship and sailors one after another, eventually became the captain's mate. No, not like that, their relationship became like that of two close friends, and they often drank together at night♪
By spending time on a pirate ship and crossing the sea with pirates, Mr. Matori was inadvertently able to discover how big the world is. And also how painful the circumstances could be that caused people to become pariah pirates. It was a revelation to him that he had always looked at life in the same way as pirates. And as a result, this led him to the decision to consider himself not a “victim of abduction”, but “Let be a little scared at first, but a member of the ship's crew!” ♪ Thus, while sailing on the ship, Matori had a new magnificent “dream” - the desire to learn not only those territories that were in his control, but the whole vast world, while saving many people♪
When Matori got used to the ship, even among the pirates, suggestions began to arise: "We must free him, since, unlike us, he has a homeland where he can return to, he is needed by his lands." However, unfortunately, at this time the captain of the pirate ship fell ill. Other misfortunes began to fall on the pirates, one after another, and there were no islands on which to land on the horizon. Despair seized the sailors and they had no other choice but to continue their long voyage. And while other sailors who caught the disease and the captain himself gave up more and more, only one friend of the captain, Matori, did not leave him and until his last breath he devotedly looked after him and the rest of the sick.
A little more time passed, and Matori, who had left the pirate ship, returned to his hometown, where he suddenly transferred all the management of family affairs to his brother. Thus ended his story as a nobleman... but this is not the end of his adventures, right? More time passed, and pirates began to conduct raids on battleships, which the Church was so proud of, on slave merchant ships and luxurious passenger ships, where aristocrats gathered. Rumors began to spread about a pirate ship that, under the command of the Great Pirate, was sharing the loot with the poor!
That's right, it was the Great Pirate Matori! He continued his endless journey, following the last wish of his late friend: "I wish to find the perfect place where we pirates could live in peace." Matori became one of the most fearsome pirates and at the same time remained a man who helped the weak and defeated the strong. Some people even spoke of him as a hero. Even when he attacked slaver ships, stealing all their gold and goods for sale, even being able to harm the crew, he strictly forbade his crew to take away the minimum food and water necessary to complete the sea voyage. It's said that on his ship they were very afraid to break his "iron rules", because if even one comrade of Matori turned out to be dishonest, the captain would punish him mercilessly!
Of course, having became the most famous pirate, Matori had a chance to fight with many opponents. Yet his real enemy was not the ships that challenged him. From the very beginning of their pirate career, these pariah-people were cursed with "Loneliness", for there was no place where pirates could live, and "Despair", because they could only earn their daily bread by robbing someone. And it was these curses that Matori tried to overcome. That is why he tried to create an utopia on this island - a dream refuge for all those whose only choice was the path of sea robbery.
At that time, there were many other pirates besides Matori who were well-known. However, most of them were people who simply robbed in order to live "one more day", but Matori looked to the future of all pirates, and not just his own and his team. That is why his dreams, his personality and strong beliefs rallied other pirates around him, who followed the same dream. It was decided that a "Federation of Pirates" would be organized on this island, where many of his fellow pirates would work together♪
Even after the Great Pirate passed away, this island inherited his beliefs and the name "Matori", as did the pirate state founded here. Although, due to their origin, the inhabitants of this island are categorically hostile to people from the so-called "Ruling Class", such as aristocrats and the highest priests of the Order.
That is why in the past, among the seven islands, Matori did not get along with the aristocratic island of Nevia located almost opposite of it... In addition, the inhabitants of Matori were in constant conflict with the "Land of the Shipbuilders Diana", which had the greatest military power and was strongly influenced by the Church.
And the large naval battles between Matori and Diana that arose because of this great confrontation often led to damage on the neighboring islands. They should have thought about it!
However, Matori... I think it's really amazing that so many people, driven by Matori's magnificent dream, came together to form a new country! Thus, all the inhabitants of our island living today are proud of this man and the fact that we are the descendants of those pirates who followed the same dream as him♪
Current Matori (p51)
Spoiler
Now Matori has become one of the islands of Court Alf, but it is still a country of pirates! Pirates who yearn for the legends of the Great Pirates or support Matori's dream, flock here in the current era as well, due to which Matori is becoming more and more even now. Since the island became part of Court Alf, the number of interactions with monsters has increased. In addition, among the mamono there are girls who strive for the dream of the Matori pirates, therefore nowadays there are many monsters among the pirates! Of course, I think many girls are looking for a strong pirate husband~♥ It looks like even when Pirate Matori was active in the seas, several of his fellow seamen were carried away while sailing. Some of the current Matori pirate monsters are the daughters of those pirate sailors. The ex-seamen themselves were able to settle on the island with their wives, who had captured them in the past♪
What about us? We, the Siren Pirates, are longtime pirate "allies", life at sea connects us with each other♪ In the past, the Siren song was used by pirates to knock ships off course, but the pirates were afraid because they were kidnapping sailors. However, now we just find ourselves a good husband, charm him with singing, take him home and love him very much♥ Now for us and the pirates, the island of Matori is our home. This is unchanged both in the past and now. And when we sing, the pirates at sea feel at home, and upon returning to the island they will delight us〜♪ In addition, we carry people like you who came for sightseeing and also will become new inhabitants of the island♥
Ah, it looks like we are sailing to the port. The number of ships increases dramatically♪ Most of Matori Island is made up of sea bays, so life on the water is the norm here♪ Well, of course, there is a city on the island, but the area of ​​ships is wider than the land, and the ships themselves are “houses” or “shops". Are ships a more important part of Matori than it's land? For the most part, that is so♪
After spending some time in Matori, you may find that life on the ship is becoming more familiar♪ We use boats to get around on the water, because when sightseeing the main idea is to sail around large ships♪ In turn, we can use ladders to move between boats which are stretched between individual vessels above the water. You may feel, as you move from one ship to another, as if you are walking on water♪ Just like on the first island of Song Al Mar, boats are part of Matori's daily life. Like many here, I was born a pirate, so I have a deep understanding of ships and even now I actively adjust the course of our boat... that is, in fact, we have many such boat experts! Matori's shipbuilding technology is truly amazing! Ah, in a nutshell, these are technologies for the repair and construction of ships! Everyone proudly says: "If you are talking about Matori, you mean ships!" Matori's shipbuilding technology is well known, and it fits perfectly with Queen Diana on the seventh island of song, where ship engineers gather. As I was told, "We are working with Queen Diana to build new ships!"♪ Most of the people living on board these ships are pirates, and I also have a small ship that I used to live on♪ In Al Mar, every family has a gondola, while in Matori there are many families who use medium to large ships as their homes♪
Fu-fu-fu, so everyone here are good pirates♪ Don't make such an elongated face♪ Ah, several ships are approaching at once! The Red Lizard Pirates are sailing on the red ship under the command of Miss Salamander! And on the blue ship - "Pirates of the Shark Jaw", led by Miss Mershark!
Eh? Are you squeezing closer and closer? That's right♪ After all, for each of them you are the goal! Both groups want to take you aboard their ship and have a "feast of joy". But still, I can explain everything, so don't grab me so hard♪
Matori is a city of pirates, therefore all residents are divided into "gangs", from which "pirate crews" are formed. And each pirate gang competes to entertain customers with a "feast of joy" on their pirate ship ♪
Eh? Why should these pirates entertain you? Haven't you been told this? Red Lizard Pirates is a restaurant where delicious mamono realm lizard meat is fried on Miss Salamander's flame ♪ And Pirates of the Shark Jaw is a restaurant where you can enjoy delicious seafood specially selected by Miss Mershark and dance ♪
Eh? What do you mean "aren't they pirates?" Of course they are pirates!♪ And that's why we all compete for you, client ♪
Pirate Matori tried to create a refuge for people who have nowhere to go or who have no home, accepting everyone who sailed to this city. Therefore, the Matori pirates who share his dreams "do not refuse those who sailed to them." And today's pirates do not offend anyone unnecessarily and do not rob people. But the "fighting spirit" and pirate will, inherited by these people from the Great Pirate Matori, makes them compete with each other for their own pleasure, to see which of the stores will interest customers the most. This is Matori and our pirate style♪
Thus, pirate gangs often run "shops" to compete for customers. This action is quite popular and is known as Matori's special "Pirate Show"♪ In fact, is Matori not a popular place to visit for people who are in mental disarray, and those who are in distress? Pirates will throw away all the misfortunes that have happened to you and fill you with joy, giving you the opportunity to forget all the bad things! Therefore, when you spend time on this island, every moment feels especially bright♪ One man who had such a sad face became more and more imbued with our morality and became a sea dog, while he spent time on this island, gradually becoming more cheerful. Ultimately, he became a handsome man who is rightly called a pirate♪
Such are the Matori people, not only pirate comrades or our clients - they all also make their beloved wives the happiest on the island! And I will make you happy! I will do my best for this♪
Ha-ha...♥ I am strong and I want to... ♥ ...as I said, we Sirens Matori are leading pirates to this island.
Perhaps you are a future pirate who has arrived on this island...♥ If so, then I think it's very cute...♥

Diva Introduction from a Song Maiden
Thus, I am the "Song Maiden" who will be your guide. I hope you enjoy Matori and our songs. Do you want me to introduce that girl first? I know this Diva well... You probably come from lands far from Court Alf? Since there is no one in the Asuramis Sea who does not know her. She is a celebrity, which is quite natural for the current leader of the super-large group of song maidens - "Siren Matori". She is our leader, but also a rival, so this story will be a little problematic for me!
The Matori's Diva succession ceremony is held at the Music Festival of Joy every three years, so the Divas change frequently. And as they continue to rotate to this day, Lilynanna is a newbie Diva who took over the Diva position from her predecessor last year. She was entrusted with our division of Song Maidens. Lilynanna is a genius gushing with ideas, with flexible thinking, which is not constrained by existing dogmas... she is a girl with a very freedom-loving character and, as the pirates say, she is like the spirit of the wind flying in the sky of Matori.
And since Lilynanna was a Song Maiden just like me, she is very proud to be the next Diva who has the power to make Matori the most exciting island...and turned out to be the sweetest girl in Matori... with on the other hand, she had earlier in front of everyone, including even the past Diva, proclaimed: "I am Matori's number one idol! Lilynanna-chan for everyone☆"...
...How ashamed I am to say this in front of you... this funny hyperactive girl!
However, as her character suggests, she is confident and impulsive, especially when it comes to men. ...No, no, even if this girl became a Diva, she is still single. I'm not like that: as soon as I find a good man, I will immediately try to stay with him, like a Song Maiden.
Our Diva, although she wants to find a loved one, constantly repeats: "Nothing can be done, since the sweetest prince in the world is not for me~☆" This is really stupid, all the other Song Maidens give it all their time, even I want to go to date with you right now... If you think about it, Lilynanna has been like this since the days when she was a Song Maiden... It seems that when she became a Diva, she developed a strong sense of responsibility, she just maintains a love for the Song Maidens around even more than for herself... this is really stupid.
Despite her high pride and selfishness, Lilynanna is honest and decent in everything and can be a surprisingly pleasant person for everyone around. Excluding romantic relationships, because she is completely not honest in love. She welcomes all visiting tourists, even holds special concerts for them with Song Maidens, but what do you think - she also does it with the aim of finding lovers for Song Maidens. This Siren uses the sacred power of the Great Diva by singing the "Song of Joy" in order to conjure up the charm of the Song Maidens by singing. And forcibly brings the maidens to the clients listening to the song, saying "Oh, you go well with this singing girl!" ...Although, this time, this is how I was introduced to you.
She is a good girl? No, just because she has good intentions does not mean that her actions are not bad! She helped countless couples meet, however, since many of Lilynanna's actions involve the surroundings in a showy manner and she does not take into account the time, place, or whether the couple will be comfortable for it, she received the nicknames "Pink Storm" and "Typhoon Matori", as well as "Princess of Tempest"! And I can't even list them all! And if she is on the go and includes you in her squad of Song Maidens, she will make you call her "Princess Lily"! I am very embarrassed to sing next to her!
...But, her attitude towards others, which you encounter before this, is so dazzling that... well... well... I consider her my best friend. She is not a bad person, and that is why she was able to become a Diva, even if she was very selfish. And now she left me alone!
Hmm, this time that girl was the one who introduced me to you... Gods, it was a good nuisance! Oh no, I'm not annoyed, zen-zen-zen! Someone like me is just annoyed by being a guide, that's all!
Oh, that's enough! Yes, she's great! In my opinion, Lilynanna is wonderful, and it is also true that her abilities as a Diva can be called a natural talent, and the singer's talent is bottomless! And despite being busy as a Diva, she also produces several brands of clothing and owns stores! In Matori's largest shopping area, "Matori Trade Port", this girl has set up many shops with her new Song Maiden-idol uniforms. It seems her goal was to make the Song Maidens of Matori, who until now have been the "target for getting help," a more familiar and accessible target. And by providing a date plan for all the Siren Matori Song Maidens, she made them a clear "love target" for all Matori residents and tourists. After that, the number of men sailing to Matori increased and it seems as if they are going crazy trying to make the singer-idol their... As a result, the number of monsters wishing to become part of the Siren Matori increased rapidly, and Matori became an island with the largest number of "Song Maidens" among the seven islands.
Also, Lilynanna seems to be focusing on a clothing store called "Lorelei Love" and this girly learns with a lot of enthusiasm... she always searches for and reads Royal Makai's Mamono fashion magazines and has a really big passion for creating new clothes. Although, when she finished work, she always called me to walk in these clothes, like at a fashion show...
...Actually that girl sewed this uniform too, right? Is she cute? Of course. It's good that the girl is talented. Ugh, when her new job shows up at the store, all the scary-faced pirates line up there. And at the entrance, their places are taken by their wives♪
Ah? Really? I am cute?
...Hm! Don't say something like that to this girl!
Song of Joy (p54)
Spoiler
"Song of Joy" is a special song that has been passed down by the Matori Divas from generation to generation after the Great Diva divided her great power into seven songs, which she passed on to the seven islands...
...Eh? You don't need me to tell you this because you already know the story? Uh... Great! No big deal, it just had to be repeated for an explanation! In addition, the Song of Joy transmitted to our island is special! Is Matori a little different from other islands?
The power of the Song of Joy inherited by Matori makes the listener aware of the charm of those around him and confirms that charm. If you have someone close to you, someone you have feelings for, or love, you may notice a new and attractive side in that person, or you may find what you think is good even more attractive... Simply put, this is a song that makes you love another person more and more.
Eh? What if you don't have a sweetheart?
...Well, for example, if I sing the Song of Joy right now...
...Ah, then it will make me look cute...
...So you think I'm cute already!?
Um, well, well, well then...
...Well, I like it...
...Now I want you...♥
Back to the explanation! The power of the Song of Joy is to make you aware of the “joy” that exists around this person. So, if you are spending time with your beloved, dear, or important spouse, you can clearly recognize this joy. This song will also be useful for two people who have had a bit of a fight and feel uncomfortable, or who don't get along at all. Even if you have disagreements, then if you remember the joy of communicating with this person where you felt good together, you will think that a banal quarrel is sheer nonsense. Even if you don't like the other person, if you can use this song to discover their virtues and what is attractive about them, you will discover something about them that you might like.
And this is not the only power of the Song of Joy. Peaceful sleep in a soft bed, being close to a loved one, the opportunity to eat delicious rice and sing songs - all these are the joys of every person's life. The Song of Joy can help you realize even this happiness, which is so familiar to a person that you may not even notice it. Thus, the pirates on this island know the great importance of the joy of living with friends and family on the island of Matori. That's why everyone here has such bright faces, everyone looks cheerful and laughs. And of course, Matori's Song of Joy is a light breeze that instantly removes rainy clouds from people's hearts, cheers up and attracts people to each other with the help of what they like!
What? What worries you? If you are so worried there is nothing I can do about it, "I'll sing for you later," so please look forward to it ♪
Ah? Can you sing the Song of Joy even if you are not a Diva? Fu-fu-fu, yes, the special feature of Matori's "Song of Joy" is that in Matori, not only the Diva, but all of us Song Maidens can sing this song! What do you mean? Take your time because everything is okay? All Song Maidens of Matori belong to the same group, we sing with everyone, or in groups of two to six people. In addition, all the Song Maidens, each of us, plays an important role as the protector of one of the many Matori pirate gangs. And one of our tasks is to sing the Song of Joy, which we own, at the "Celebration of Joy" that is held on their pirate ship. Our Song of Joy was transmitted to us by our Diva. And that she inherited from the Great Diva herself, and thus, all of us, all Song Maidens and Matori's Diva, inherit it from her. However, the Songs of Joy of our Song Maidens are arrangements of the original “Song of Joy” inherited by the Diva, the original itself goes exclusively to the diva. But since the Diva is also one of the Song Maidens, of course she has her own version of the song for her own use. It must be a little difficult to sing, but is it okay? Isn't it true?
By the way, in The Legend of the Mermaid Princess about the Great Diva and the Prince, some time after the couple met, the prince tried to present himself as a bastard, listing ten ugly moments about himself. In turn, the Great Diva sang a song where she listed 100 good features of the prince. Don't you think that this wonderful story tells about the birth of that very Song of Joy? Now the Song of Joy, sung by the Great Diva, is in its own form in each of us, song maidens. And now this song flies in the winds of Matori, turning into many songs, colored by our own feelings. But no matter how much the form changes, the song is still based on the feeling of love for another person.
No matter how cloudy the sky is, someday everything will be fine.
If it's hard for you, then the joy should be many times greater!
Well, I want to be the sun for my loved ones♪
Being... I didn't tell you that!
Why are you laughing! Eh no!
What am I saying bashfully!?
Yes, forget everything I said immediately!
The Duties of the Songstress and Song Maidens (p56)
Spoiler
When the Diva is replaced in Al Mar, almost nothing changes on the island. However, on Matori, the system for changing Diva of Matori is very different. First of all, there are so many Song Maidens in Matori that even trying to count us is ridiculous. And the Diva is an idol for all unmarried Song Maidens, it is a girl who is our leader. As I said earlier, the Song Maiden protects one of the Matori pirate gangs and one of her most important roles is to sing a song at the "Celebration of Joy". For pirates, the Song Maiden is the one who leads the ship and its crew so that they can always return to us in Matori. Many Song Maidens aspire to be the Diva at the “Music Festival of Joy”, which takes place every three years with the support of the pirates they protected and their clients who join the pirates! At the "Music Festival of Joy", the residents of Matori and those who came to our excursion, as well as visitors from other islands, choose the "Flower of Matori Winds" - a Song Maiden who is considered the most wonderful. So to speak, there is a vote. You can vote for this Song Maiden not only on the day of the music festival itself, but throughout all three years. The Song Maiden focuses on creating "Singing Seashells" - a magical item with which you can listen to her singing whenever you want - and organizes the sale of her own merchandise at the Matori Trade Port. And by acquiring them, you add votes to her.
But personally, I am against it. Because, it seems, the great merchant of the past came up with this, because if a man gives all of himself to the Song Maiden he likes, he will buy goods with her name in large quantities. And since the Song Maiden will immediately fly to such a person, it often happens that she marries him, after which she leaves the ranks of the Song Maidens! Voting should be done solely for singing ability! Wha?... That doesn't mean my Song Maiden merchandise isn't for sale!
Be that as it may, Song Maidens always have to work hard. Well, even if they aren't trying too hard to be the Diva, as I just said, they visit people who are enthusiastic about supporting them, tourists like you... go on dates and have intercourse... you like this?
Mmm, wedding? Well, if the song maidens start dating someone... they can still continue to sing, but at this point, many girls "retire"... and even if the Song Maiden finds her betrothed, everyone on the island is happy, including the pirates who were protected by this maiden. First of all, because such an event is "joy" for Matori, but, in addition, the "retired" Song Maiden gives a recital during the celebration.
One way or another, only the Song Maiden, who went through the selection sieve and took first place in the final voting every three years, receives the "Song of Joy" and the honorary title of Diva, which the previous Diva gives her.
Matori Shopping Port (p57)
Spoiler
Yes, this is the place where I was supposed to lead you... It's okay! Leave it to me!
Well yes, this is the busiest place in Matori - the commercial area, which is the tourist center. As you can see, the houses are located on a large ship, right? This "residential ship" Matori is one of the features of our city. As you can see, such residential ships are connected by bridges. This shopping area makes the most of the "mobile home" characteristics of the residential ships. If any Matori resident wishes to open his own business, he can easily place a ship here for trade. In addition to individual ships with a single store, there are many establishments on the large merchant ships. Well, they're all connected by bridges, so let's get off here and enjoy some shopping.
Naturally, there are good selling places in this shopping area where people are concentrated. Historically, however, such popular destinations are not monopolized by a single ship: ships regularly change each other, usually transferring to these outlets new merchant ships, which is accompanied by a slight decrease in sales. Although... the problem is that the location of the shops, that is, the ships, often changes for various reasons. Therefore, every time I come, I have to look for my favorite store or place... Ah, but when you are looking for such a store, you find another interesting store where you can discover something new♪
This shopping area is Matori's biggest tourist attraction and is also known as a dating destination. It is referred to as one of the standard dating spots in Court Alf, and you can see a lot of couples of men and mamono, right? And since Lilynanna produces her creations here, this place was widely covered in the monthly "Sights of the Mamono Realms", which is published in the Royal Makai. Her brand's cute clothing and accessory shops are constantly visited by monster girls, and there are many catchy restaurants selling parfaits and sweets that mamono love. Recently, a branch of Tricoromille Court Alf opened here and is getting more and more crowded♪ Fu-fu-fu, embarrassing that there are many shops for girls here? Be confident, look inside and take a closer look, it seems that you said it first? "Most of the inhabitants here are pirates," right? The stern-faced pirates are so relaxed and enjoying blissful times with the girls, right? And you see a monster couple there? How does the accompanying man hold her hand tightly? Full-fledged men of the seas, wonderful pirates are here in order to properly entertain their girls. Although, well, there are also a lot of men in Matori who are accompanied by pirate mamono like this...
That is why I will also specially give you flowers! Now take my arm and accompany me, okay?
Matori's Song Maiden Clothing Store(p57)
Spoiler
Do you know what this is? Just look at me...♥
Well, the costumes of our Song Maidens change quite often, although at the moment the uniforms have become more defined. However, initially, each of us prepared special costumes for each group concert, where all the Song Maidens gathered and sang. But after Lilynanna became a Diva, new outfits created by her became a squeak of fashion in Matori... although I have a lot of her outfits, I change them about 3-4 times a month.
Hmmm, it's hard to say, but is there something in them? I am also a Song Maiden, and my job is to please the eyes of clients as much as possible!... Besides, the clothes from that girly girl are often very cute.
Well, okay, there were also men who wanted to dress up their wife in a Song Maiden costume, and that's how this "Siren Style" shop appeared. It specializes in dress for Lilynanna's Song Maidens and sells a lot of cute clothes like the ones we wear. If you buy an outfit here for a girl you are interested in, she can feel like a Song Maiden! And if you give this gift along with a song maiden-style accessory that is sold in the store next door, then your chosen one will definitely make you feel "this spirit"
Of course! Not only do I wear new outfits, but also the ones I have worn a long time ago... we Song Maidens also wear outfits with exactly the same design as the outfits from the old performances. After all, some enthusiastic fans want to see these costumes again! Some men say they buy old suits here and give them to the same Song Maidens who wore them. Oh, speaking of that, a man over there is picking up Ms. Harpy's outfit next to him. A costume like this dress is nostalgic, I'm sure Harpy-san will eventually do something...that only a pair of mamono and a man does♥
Eh? Is there any outfit here that I like? Don't be an idiot!
These are the outfits I wear most of the time, and they are all great, but I really don't want them! When it comes to me, my clothes are incompatible, none of these outfits are suitable for revealing my charm...
Ah? Have you already bought it? …to me…?
No, no, no matter how cute I am... now I'm in trouble. Since now, in this way, you kind of meet with me...
...When you do something like that, give a similar outfit, then in Matori it means exactly that...
Yes, but if you really want, then I will wear this dress, I will wear it for you!
Do not look like that! More precisely, look, come with me, now you are responsible for dressing me up♥
Song Maiden Tea House: Maid in Matori (p58)
Spoiler
La~la~laa, fa~fa~faa ♪
How about this outfit? Does it suit me?
Mo~mo~mo~more can’t think of anything! Even humming a song!
What? I am a Song Maiden, so I always practice!
Don't say anything weird, here's the next Maid in Matori!
Well, this cafe is also one of the places that girl Lilynanna opened, so what should I hide? Here we Song Maidens work as maids.
So, since we crossed the threshold, then, starting from this moment...
...Welcome, my husband! Oh I was looking forward to your visit, Nyan♥
Why are you laughing now!? It can't be helped - this is my first time as a client's maid! Why are all the maids here pretty!? In the meantime, sit here and watch! All this is cute, naturally! The girls working here are Song Maidens, so you can ask to be served by your guide on the island, as I do now! Also, all the female servants serving customers are single, so they often come here to get to know each other better. And if you correctly attract the attention of the maid, then, just like in the establishments of the famous "Tricoromille", you can take the maid, that is, the Song Maiden, with you. And of course, if you are nice, then expect a cute maid escort to come to you. Of course, you can't grab the girl right away, because we have the pride of Song Maidens. After all, in the path of love there is what is called grinding to each other♪
...Well, I am more of a rapist, but by no means against the path of love.
Now, anyway! Here I will specifically teach you how to make a Song Maiden fall! First of all, take a look at the menu, in this establishment, each singer creates her menu by hand, there are even special menus. Well, just for reference, my menu is called "Forbidden Wing Omurice, Drowning With Love!"
What? Yes? This is the name I gave it! What are you complaining about!?
I wrote with love what a wonderful and fun dish it is♪ Rice omelet is made from “Matori bird eggs”, which are so nutritious that as people say they absorbed energy from the remote Matori islets. Ah~ there are fresh eggs in the cafe now, so I highly recommend this menu!
So, if you ask for the menu of your favorite Song Maiden, then the Song Maiden in the kitchen will prepare your order, and the creator of the menu will sit at your table. And she will talk with you - this is the first step! And when the food arrives, there will be more options! When you eat a large portion of food together, the possibility arises like "I'll have a Song Maiden who brings food to my mouth." If it is juice, then it is "Together we drink from one straw." Okay, well, but the most popular option in this cafe is "Eat a dish through a kiss"... ♥ In the meantime, Master, order the "Forbidden Wing Omurice" ♥
Forbidden Wing Omurice (p59)
Spoiler
Forbidden_Wing_Omurice.jpg
Here, Master, this is what made you wait♪ This is "Forbidden Wings Omurice, Abduction With Love!"♪ Eh, is the title different from what is on the menu? Well, I couldn't help it because I was nervous! Well, love is more important than it seems! It is very important for us! Eh, I'm not popular if I say things like that... oh, but I don't want to be popular.
Well, well, I'll do it with the right mindset! As I said earlier, the omelet is made from fresh eggs, the precious eggs of the Matori birds that inhabit the remote islets around Matori. And their eggs have an excellent tonic effect, giving the body renewed strength! For a newcomer sailor, unfamiliar with the waves, who is suffering from seasickness, it is enough just to break one of these eggs and drink the contents, as there will be so much vital energy in his body that he will forget about seasickness! This convenient ingredient I myself can only describe as "inviting to dance in the sky around the waterways." Puddings and mamono realm cocktails featuring Matori eggs are quite popular, with many couples ordering them just to have intercourse. But the Matori birds are very rude and difficult to catch. Many Song Maidens also offer a menu of these eggs, because we welcome impulsiveness after your energy doubles... that is, you know, after such a meal, the client is so filled with strength that he wants to scream. If you eat food from the Song Maiden's menu, such as my own Omurice... and come to support a Song Maiden you admire before the concert, it will help you a lot. If you ate everything and are sick and screaming in support, then your voice at the concert will be very loud. Even in a room with loud music, the voice of the person who ate my omelet will be easier to reach me. Only to me.
Yes, other girls' dishes are made so that as a result, only this maiden can hear the voice of support. And if they supported me, then I would be very happy and could hope... Do you consider the existence of a person who supports you special?
Eh? What about something other than a round of applause? Well, well, what happens if you confess!? Well, if it happens now, I... I think...♥
Okay, eat it all before it's cold! Yes, I'll feed you, ah~hm ♪
Sweets Harpies (p60)
Spoiler
Fu-fu-fu, my food♪ How does it taste to you? No, no, even if you try to leave, take me under your wing and let me accompany you♪ So, next up is "Sweets Harpies" cafe. It's another classic establishment, but it's the exact opposite of Matori's Song Maiden Cafe for men. It's a shop where you can enjoy the deliciously sweet desserts that human girls and mamono love. We Song Maidens also sometimes come here on our own to relax... well, I actually really want to come in here with a man. Fu-fu, but you're with me tonight, so you'll be my boyfriend in front of everyone♪
Hmm? Tourist information? Well, it's not the best place for tourists to visit, because it's a dating place♪
!? Is this girl following me!? ...and also unknowingly following us with her boyfriend! You see, together with this girl, we are moving along the route in sync and some time ago she too was in a Song Maiden cafe and now she is walking here with a man. I've heard quite a lot about Matori Song Maidens often being invited to Sweets Harpies from the Song Maiden cafe, but really witnessing it... Ask me out here right now...
...I can't lose to her.
As you understood, we'll go straight to the cafe!
It sells desserts using the intoxication fruit, as well as jelly and mamono realm fruit cakes soaked in mamono realm white wine that has been made in the port of Matori. It's tasty enough to melt any sweetness and indulge any dark senses! As this café uses mamono realm fruits, the desserts have many positive effects on monsters and humans alike. Many couples head to the inn after eating dessert here to raise the degree of intimacy♥ And this place is run by a monster couple. The husband was a patissier who used to make sweets for his harpy wife every day and started this cafe.♪
♪ I wonder what I'd order♪ Everything looks delicious... Ah, isn't the "Mamono Realm Sake Cake for a Young Couple" wonderful?
Hmm? Is it noisy outside the shop?
Ah, here come the pirates who've finished their work♪
Fu-fu-fu, that's all right?
It's true that pirates rush into a cafe like this, so it looks like they're breaking in...♪ But really, all these pirates here are just "students".
What do I mean? You see, there are regular lessons in this shop: the Harpies' cafe workers enthusiastically teach the strong pirates how to make sweets. That's why these pirates and monsters work hard to make sweets side by side, isn't it? It's also the place where they teach you how to make a special dessert for your loved ones, both men and women. By doing this, working together in pastry classes, single men and mamono gradually bond with each other until they find themselves tied together... It's not uncommon here for them to create one beautiful piece together.
...Do you like desserts? Do you like them too? Well, then how about we go to a sweet class together here?
In that case, thinking of staying at Matori only for a short time is not a good idea♥

Fu-fu, pretty Song Maiden, I wonder if you'll go out with your boyfriend tonight♪ Do you like our café? Today we're presenting a new dish, please tell us if you like it♪ This new dish is called the Matori Treasure Chest. It's a parfait of various mamono realm fruits that have been soaked in mamono realm white wine. This wine is made from a variety of intoxication fruits that grows on our island - the 'Pearls of Matori', this variety is distinguished by its snow-white berries. When my husband made this parfait, the colorful mamono realm fruits shone like real jewels. And I thought the dish resembled a treasure chest, so I gave it that name♪
"The treasure chest" makes mamono's voice so sweet after a meal. If a man hears this sweet voice from close range, this sultry voice will itself lead to a passionate invitation to a hot night... Ufufu, every word will become an irresistible temptation♥ Even if mamono cannot quietly invite a man, even if she is unable to tell him what she really wants, by continuing to taste this parfait, the monster girl can change her voice such that, without even realizing it, with casual conversation she will already tempt a man♥
And this dish is also recommended to be tasted by a lovely singer like you♪ I definitely want you to eat it before you entertain your ward with a sweet love song♪ Fu-fu, when you get back to him, why don't you carelessly offer him the parfait? If you let him eat it, I think the two of you will feel its effects even more strongly♥

Shipwreck Cove (p61)
Spoiler
It is here, in the largest cove in Matori, the haven of shipwrecks, where we Song Maidens are often active. Stay close as it is also the most dangerous place in Matori, okay?
The singing voices of our Matori singers and Sirens have a powerful enchanting power. And in particular, when many Mamono sing on stage at the same time, our enchanting voices can unleash the magical powers of the monsters like a storm that even we can't control. And when they burst out in concert, when the performance becomes more and more thrilling than usual, the ship attracted by the singing mamono disappears into that cove. Soon after, it is attacked by the wild monsters that live in the coastal waters, with the result that the desolate ship simply runs aground. You see, this place is also, so to speak, a hunting ground for monster girls. There are a lot of empty hulls floating on the surface of the water, right? We use the stranded ships as a stage and training ground. Here, you can see singing Sirens and Mermaids who sit on the ships and sing, addressing the sea. But it's not just them who gather here, there are also mamono who would like to become Song Maidens, or those who have been attracted by the songs of the singers. There are also frequent open-air concerts of monster girls.
The voices of the mamono singing here are very pleasant. Even if the monster isn't a Song Maiden, many men, fascinated by the songs of Mermaids who sing well, just stop to listen to them... and naturally, they are often attacked for intimate purposes. It's perfectly normal for me, and I think you'd enjoy it, but for now you're protected as a tourist. Yes, since I have to keep you safe, then stay as close to me as possible! This not only applies to men, but also to human women. If a woman listens to the beautiful voice of the singing mamono here all the time, she'll want to sing just the same, and she'll turn into a sea monster herself before she knows it... Well, I'm very happy about that, because it means that the number of Matori's friends are increasing. However, one way or another, the local pirates are firmly protective of the female tourists. Hmmm, usually pirates are feared, but here they accompany the women like gentlemen and bodyguards. However, if you listen to a love song with magical monster powers, it's not at all surprising that this time women find themselves enchanted by men. And thus, sometimes the women here, who become aggressive like mamono, invite the man on board like rude pirate girls♥
And I thought you heard me right? Like I said, you must not take one step away from me! You only need to listen to my voice here♥
Matori Concert Hall Ship (p62)
Spoiler
And this is Matori's Great Scene, a huge concert hall that houses the biggest and best stage for singers. As you can see, it's the largest huge ship in Matori, and it's made in the image and likeness of the pirate ship of the great pirate Matori himself. This luxurious passenger liner with a concert hall circles around the island of Matori during the big concerts, and on some occasions, the other Court Alf islands as well. And then returns back to this spot afterwards.
Hey, let's go on deck, shall we? Look at that, this landscape of the island shining in the twilight of the setting sun is my favorite♪ From here, being on such a big ship, you can see how beautiful the city is, can't you? That little boat on the stage is for the Song Maidens and dancers and sometimes serves as a small stage for them, where the Mermaids with their harps sit and play. On this small stage, on pirate ships and on this great ship - we always sing songs in various places in our Matori. Singing from the heart, thinking of the wonderful people you'll meet one day is great fun, your heart will flutter with excitement...that love in your voice, well, it's very timely.
But the world of the Song Maidens of merry Matori, it's not just entertainment... I'm so nervous. So, before the big concert, I think about different things while enjoying the sunshine in this place. I sing here some days. When the sun goes down and night falls, the concert begins. We, who want to be a singing Diva, admire this stage. But at the same time, it takes a lot of courage to sing here. At first, Diva Lilynanna warms up the audience; she will lead all of us. But from then on, if the audience is in any way excited, we Song Maidens will be the only ones standing in the center of the stage, unaccompanied. And the song, led by true love, will have a completely different weight and depth depending on whether the singer has a partner or has not yet got one. A Song Maiden who already has a companion is considered a "senior" and will sit in the back row...while, the unmarried Song Maidens, are assigned the main role so that we can quickly meet good people and stand out as much as possible. But this goodness can sometimes put pressure on us. In fact, often the Diva, Lilynanna, though she has no companion of her own, like my fellow singers too, plays the central role so well that I often think I can't compete with her.
Standing out among them, however, means nothing to me at all! For one thing, I never thought I wasn't ready to sing, and as long as I don't have a husband, I can sing some songs! My seniors also give us the lead role precisely because they know it! But...yes, that's how the singers feel and what they want, and there are as many events as there are Song Maidens themselves. Especially when the concert ends. Here, on stage, customers sometimes boldly declare their love for the Song Maiden. From their point of view, it is because they are inspired by the love song that they bravely sing in front of the others. And for that, the Song Maiden in the lead role tries her best. Then, while the people on the island applaud, the two are sure to link lips with a kiss. And, fu-fu, isn't that a luxury liner? Thus, the couple will have a pleasant time in this cruise liner's suite... ah, I'm already longing for those gorgeous rooms!
Hmm? Are you worried? Don't worry, I'm fine. I've stood on this stage many times and will be singing here again soon, so please support me so your voice can reach me at that time♪ And, about that, well, well, you bought me this outfit today and I can perform in it for you♥
Singing Seashell (p63)

Oh yes, I completely forgot! Yes. Here's my song, please listen to it carefully! It's the Singing Seashell, a magical tool that is made with magical seashells out of mamono realm and is able to play music. The song begins to play when a magic sea pearl with a song is placed inside the shell.
Isn't this a breakthrough technology for Court Alf? I can tell you that the Singing Seashell is now attracting the attention of other mamono realms. In addition, Court Alf also has a smaller portable player developed on Saida as well as headphones that use paired clam shells as counterparts to this magical item.
So yes, I will give you this magic sea pearl with my song in it. Can you get a little excited about that? It's the same pearl that I recorded for the first time, a memorable first pearl! You see, it will soon be the song of the best Song Maiden, no, you possess the first pearl of the future Diva herself! Indeed, you are the luckiest man in the world! From now on, every day, every night, you will be able to listen to my beautiful singing voice at your bedside!
Eh? You want to hear my singing voice directly? What are you talking about!?
So you want to listen to me sing, every night, that's, uhm...what am I supposed to do now, huh!? That's what it means!? Wow, I've never been told that, what am I supposed to do? But thinking nothing of it, I wish you would have decided to do it after hearing my song at the concert... However, hmmm...♥
Matori's Treasure Cruise (p63)
Spoiler
"Hey, brothers! Don't they look good together! Hey motherfucker, you're here to listen to our ship's Song Maiden! Ha, this guy's not faking it, is he? ...So how far have you come already? Heh-heh-heh-heh."
Ahhhhhhhh!!! You're already here! Don't say such vulgar things! Well, I mean, I'm guarding this pirate ship.
"Oh? If you haven't done it already, there's no one better at organizing it than me. Hehehe, if you take him to the ship, no one will say a word, take any place. I've been to a lot of places, too...with my wife."
I'm sorry, please, but shut up!!! I can explain it myself! I'm already doing it!
Well, this ship is doing a "Matori Treasure Cruise" where you can explore caves on the outlying islets of Matori, ruins in the middle of the jungle and Skull Mountain on the main island of Matori! While cruising through such unexplored places and scenic landscapes, we ask tourists to look for "hidden pirate treasures" there. After all, when people talk about pirates, they almost always mean their treasure! Most of the treasure, of course, is hidden by the pirates that are active today. But here in Matori and on the nearby islets, the Legendary Pirate Matori has stashed away a fortune that no one has yet found! In the Grand Cruise Tour, which introduces Matori, active pirates are offering to take part in such a real adventure - to find the treasure of the pirate Matori.
Is such a quest successful enough? If you find the treasure and return to the pier you can get an appraisal of the treasure found and then take it home or exchange it for treasure coins. These can be used in Matori to pay for a meal or to buy supplies. These coins can only be used in Matori, but it's better than cashing in treasure the normal way. There are also limited-edition cruise items that you can only buy with treasure coins. If you can buy them for coins, this is the recommended option! If you bring a lot of treasure, you can even buy a ship! Of course, since the ship is made using Matori's technology, you can not only sail it, but also use it as a house, where you can have a big bedroom for...where...there's not much going on!
Here we are! Well, that phrase is a cliché, but I'm going last! I think the treasure trove may contain costly useful swords, gems with great power and other valuable items. If you have one, plenty of monsters will approach you with interest. Sometimes there are 'cursed objects' mixed in with the treasure, which turn human girls into monsters. And since this is a real treasure hunt, Mimics can be found in the treasure chests as well as Dragons and Griffons can protect the riches. Pirates will take it upon themselves to protect you from injury and risk to life. But note that pirates are not responsible for any situation where you are turned into a mamono or incubus by a treasure from the cruise, or if you are attacked and captured by a monster... I wonder how that even happens. Eh, my pirates, whom I mentioned earlier, seem to be so behind the scenes while their wives cheer us on, so let's head straight for the itinerary of this cruise. And don't worry, I'll follow right behind you♥ Your goal is to earn a new home for two! Well then, break a leg! Oh, the ship! That ship!
Topic - Ghost Ship of the Matori Sea (p64)
Spoiler
Matori's pirates live at sea and die at sea. Since ancient times, the bodies of dead pirates in this town have been buried at sea, not underground. And the bodies of the great pirate Matori and his best friend the captain have also been buried at sea. However, dead people often become undead and in the present age they are once again enjoying sex. And even in the waters surrounding Matori, it is not uncommon to find the undead with their husbands on ghost ships...
...No no, you can see them in the city of Matori too, and how they perform on stage! If you see this ship in town, it might be useful to talk to pirates who have sailed the seas once before. Especially with their handsome Wight captain and her loudly laughing deputy captain. If you have a glass of liquor, you'll definitely be able to talk to them comfortably!
Training Ground on the Outskirts of Town (p64)
Spoiler
Well, the day flew by in the blink of an eye♪ How was it for you? There's a place in Matori I wanted to show you the most...
...Phew, I wanted to show it last, and here you are at last. There's nothing special here, it's just one of the shipwrecks that's been floating for a long time.
Fu-fu-fu, yes I was talking about it earlier. We Song Maidens always train in places like this. This is my personal training ground and, being a genius, I don't do 'secret training' sessions here! I would like to say that I am always worried because I am still so inexperienced...and I should be very pleased with you, because this way I expose my weaknesses to you. I wonder why, I can't beat that Lilynanna girl at all and I can't reach her in any way... ...Yes, I've been with her for a long time, and I grew up with the same goals as her, but I always felt inferior. This girl has become a Diva, always changing this town, always smiling and so cheerful... Although she must be suffering as much as I am, but she still supports other singers...and yet I... I...
I've been getting more and more scared lately, and even though I enjoyed singing, I was just running ahead, wishing something would change.
Sorry, sorry to bore you with a boring story. But you know, for the first time in a long time I enjoyed singing, thanks to you! Fu-fu, I should have been your guide and let it go, but thanks to you I had confidence♪ It wasn't long, but while I was a guide I was able to feel once again that I'm a singer. I felt that I like people, that I should incorporate that into my songs, and I feel like I got that because of you. Ah, tomorrow's stage... Well, also, now I'm not nervous! I'm the cutest and sweetest person in the world!
...
...U-u-u-uu!
Yes, yes, you see this, I've shown you something pathetic and I apologize for that! Here, this is a shell ring I made myself! It is made from paired clams and their magic shells. This ring has a connection with another one of the same ring, creating a kind of bond between a man and a woman. With this ring on stage, even if the hall is crowded, I will keenly sense your presence... I have performed several times today and I was in very good shape. I'm sure it's thanks to you. So if you put it on, I'll be able to sing properly, just like today! So take it!
...Yes, thank you. By the way, can you allow me one last selfish act? In fact, I'm still nervous and shaking, so tonight, until the shivers subside, stay by my side the whole time...♥

I checked the original text while clean up the usage of "demonic" terminology on the wiki, and notice some other errors.
Ochiverde wrote: 09 Oct 2023 19:31 Harpy Sweets (p61)
This is the shop name, a proper name. And it's written as スイーツ・ハーピーズ (Sweets Harpies), not the other way around.
The husband, Mr. Patissier, used to make sweets for his Harpy wife every day and started this cafe
That isn't his name. He's 元パティシエー, former pâtissier, aka pantry chef.
Demon Wine Cake for a Young Couple
The later part of this name is 魔界ケーキ, the bold letter is "sake". Everywhere else refer to wine with katakana ワイン. So this is "mamono realm sake cake".
a magical demonic object that is made from non-demonic seashells
While "magical demonic object" is just "magical tool", the "non-demonic seashells" is somewhat confusing. It's 魔界ならめ魔海の貝. Machine translate say it's "shells from the demon sea, which is not the demon world". It's possible that 魔海 is "magical sea" but that's still weird. I guess that it's possible for the ocean in general to not considered as mamono realm, yet considered somewhat mamono-ish (for lack of better word) due to Poseidon being both a god and a mamono?

* Edit: I asked Gemini and it claims that ならめ mean swirling. Guess I need to do OCR scan and translate the full sentence, but it's likely that it's "shells taken from mamono realm's swirling magic sea".
** Edit: Surprise, I mistaken ぬ as め. So I'm settled with 魔海の貝 being "magic seashells" from out of mamono realm for now.

Just noticed that Matori the pirate is, so far, the only named male character confirmed to be dead and never becomes an incubus. In fact, the island's history doesn't has any mamono show up, we only get the timeframe that it was indeed the current era when the present day's description notes how some manono are daughters of his subordinates.

But he is an undead incubus now, as the topic about the ghost ship shows. He still laughs loudly even after death. :D :D

Training Ground on the Outskirts of Town (p64)
Also this part should be separated from the topic about the ghost ship. This is the singing maiden personal place to end the tour with you.

He is the deputy captain methinks while the ship captain was his beloved wife.
