Thank you Lidya for the raws!
Chapter 1 ✾ Chapter 2
Chapter 1
Location: Deserted Island (Day)
Rutile: I wonder which shade should use to color this beautiful, calming sea...And what color should I use for the sand?

(Footsteps rustling)
Nero: Oh, Rutile. Oops...my bad. You busy by any chance?
Rutile: Oh no, I’m good. I was simply sketching out this lovely view of the sea. Is there something you need from me, Mister Nero?
Nero: Actually, yeahp. I’ve prepared some snack samples just for the lads. Was wondering if you’re willing to give them a try.
Rutile: Huh...Thank you for the offer, but are you sure that you don’t mind me getting the first piece?
Nero: Totally. I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of ingredients found around the island so I’d really appreciate any suggestions you have in mind.
Rutile: I understand. Now then, I'll dig in!
(Eating sounds)
Rutile: Oh wow! Crispy from the outside but soft and sweet inside...The way it’s wrapped around in a stick is also super easy to eat. Yum yum, it’s delicious!
Nero: Haha, good to hear that. All right, this is what we’re going to have for snacks today.
Rutile: All right! I’m pretty sure Mitile, Shino, and Heath would love this.
...Oh, right. Do you mind if I could write down the recipe for this snack?
We’d often hold barbecues and gatherings at the South, so I figured this would be a perfect treat for those kinds of events...
Nero: I don’t mind but you’re sure with that? It’s not much of a profound snack so...
Rutile: I really enjoyed it since I got to taste the rich flavors of the ingredients. I wish I could share with the rest back home.
Nero: Gotcha. I’ll go right ahead and prepare enough for us both. Will give you a rundown on how to whip these up.
Rutile: Please do! It would help me tremendously.
(Oh, right. It may be clearer if I could draw out a picture right next to the recipe…)

Location: Deserted Island (Day)
(Cooking noises)
Nero: ...And finally, simply spin the sticks around until they’re all browned. And there ya have it, all done.
Rutile: Alrighty, I was able to draw that down too! Thank you, Mister Nero.
(Page turning)
Nero: You’re pretty good at sketching, aren’t ya?
Rutile: You think so? I really appreciate it!
Nero: Not at all, I was simply sayin’ my thoughts out loud. I was caught off guard by how the art style is way different from your drawings...with your unique style and all.
Rutile: I'm aware since I do normally draw things that have a "go out with a bang!" feeling to them. [1]
Nero: Haha...You’ll get a bang out of these for sure.
Oh! Uhh, is this picture at the bottom of the page a drawing of…?
Rutile: That's you! Being able to see you cook was so mesmerizing, I just had the urge to draw it down.
Nero: Aha, so it’s me then! That’s one nice, bangin’ drawing.
Rutile: Of course, it’s my pleasure. I am really happy to hear you like it, Nero.
I want to express how happy I am at the moment by using colors...I know! I’ll color Mister Nero’s face in all of the different colors of the rainbow!

TL Notes:
[1] Rutile uses the term どかん (dokan) to describe the feeling Rutile wants others to feel by looking at his drawings––bold, exciting and unexpected. どかん is often used to describe a loud noise produced from heavy objects hitting each other or even an explosion/gun shot (he did say that art is an explosion once). Nero also uses the word to describe Rutile's works but I thought of him using it as a pun instead.

Card Episode Title: A Private Chit-Chat Between Us Two
Location: Manor Courtyard (Day)
Akira: Thank you for making that delicious snack the other day, Rutile. I had no idea you were able to bake snacks like that over a bonfire.
Rutile: Likewise, I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. I tried to make my own after learning the recipe from MistNero back when we’re at that deserted island.
Akira: Oh, I didn’t know that! Were you able to talk to Nero more at the deserted island?
Rutile: I did. He was super nice and generous to me...He told me to go play around and relax while he spent the time watching the bonfire. He even brought me some snacks too.
I was again reminded that he is a caring and thoughtful person!
Akira: I can tell. Nero really does pay attention to even the smallest details, doesn’t he?
Rutile: Yes, that’s true. I now understand why Mitile and Riquet looked up to Nero so much.
I’d love to chat with him again, but will it bother him if I talk to him too much? I don’t know if I'll just end up annoying Nero...
Akira: Ah, I get it! If you don’t mind, why don’t you try asking Mitile and Riquet when they are around?
Rutile: I see! That way, we could be able to find a common ground and Nero would feel more at ease talking to me. I’m definitely be looking forward to it!
